Chapter 728
From time to time, soldiers came in and out of the Yamen to report the news to Lu Xiangsheng.How many prisoners were killed, how many prisoners were captured, how many our soldiers died in battle, how many were injured, and so on.

These news were basically within Lu Xiangsheng's expectations, not unexpected.Generally speaking, most of the prisoners, or people from the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of Mongolia, had no resistance and became prisoners.Only a small number of people escaped from the city last night taking advantage of the chaos.

But it doesn't matter, Lu Xiangsheng's original plan was not to stay longer in Xinhui.It's just kicking the Jianlu camp, creating a big momentum, attracting Jianlu's attention, and sharing the pressure of Gaizhou.

Suddenly, Mao Chengzuo, one of his generals, hurried into the lobby, clasped his fists, and said with an ugly expression: "Lord Zhongcheng, Jianlu... Jianlu, they eat people, there are a lot of bones..."

"What?" When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he immediately stood up from his chair with a "huo".He was very shocked, not that he had never heard of cannibalism.But this kind of cannibalism mainly involving the army is large-scale and organized cannibalism, which is terrible!

He immediately ordered "lead the way", and then hurried to see what happened.

In the back camp of the Jianlu barracks in the city, there are many Ming army soldiers here, some are guarding the prisoners, some are standing guard, or they all know about the cannibalism in the Jianlu barracks, and all of them have very different expressions. anger.Seeing Lu Xiangsheng approaching, they shouted "Master Zhongcheng" in an extremely angry tone.Although they didn't speak any more, they expressed their grief and indignation to Er Lu Xiangsheng.

When Lu Xiang got to the place, he saw that there were slaughtered people everywhere. It seemed that they were all Han Chinese.In addition, there are many bones.

Mao Chengzuo was by Lu Xiangsheng's side and told him: "These people who were eaten were all Han people. They originally wanted to drive these Han people to attack the city. But the war broke out in Gaizhou before they could move. That Yue Tuo led the elite away, and took a lot of food, so here we simply eat these Han people."

In some houses not far from the place this time, other Han Chinese who were dying of starvation were imprisoned, and the number of them was less than half.If Lu Xiangsheng came later, it is estimated that these Han people would have been eaten.

Lu Xiangsheng was furious when he saw it, and when he asked carefully, he learned that these Han people were collected by a traitor named Fan Wencheng, and he was involved in this kind of thing.But this person was not found, maybe he ran away last night.

Mao Chengzuo continued to tell him everything he knew: "The massacres of these Han people were mostly done by these people from the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and they all eat human flesh. The people in Xinjin City, except for the Jurchens, other People are also eaten!"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, his face was a little scary. He looked at the soldiers under his command, each of them was angry, and looked at himself with expectation. He didn't hesitate any more, and immediately ordered: "Blood debt, give all the prisoners to this officer!" Killed, wrote on the city wall, warned Jianlu, blood for blood, tooth for tooth! Anyone who dares to eat people with Jianlu is a livestock, and Ming Dynasty will never accept its surrender!"

"The last general obeys the order!" Mao Chengzuo listened, took the order loudly, and immediately went to convey the general order.So, amidst the begging for mercy, the soldiers of the Ming army showed no mercy. Soon, Xinjin City became a dead city!
Fortunately, the Han people who were still alive, who were already in despair, were very excited when they saw the Ming army rescue them and see the Ming army soldiers avenging them, although they were too hungry to stand up and could not even speak. Feeling weak, but they all asked one by one to join the Ming army to kill the captives!
Lu Xiangsheng made porridge for them to drink from the food he found, and then found a car to take them back to Jinzhou.When Lu Xiangsheng was about to leave, he burned Xinjin with a torch.This Jianlu camp was taken away, and after Xiaoheishan, the Ming army was able to drive straight in again, and all places in Liaodong were within the soldiers' front.

After returning to Jinzhou, Lu Xiangsheng reported to the emperor the history of the Xinjin War through Wei Mulan who stayed here.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help being furious.As for the cannibalism, he who traveled through later generations could not accept it, let alone the organized slaughter of cannibals like Jianlu.Without hesitation, he immediately issued an order to retaliate against Jianlu and refused to accept Jianlu's surrender.As for the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of Mongolia who are helping the evil, as long as there is a cannibalism, they will be killed without mercy.

In the evening, Huang Taiji led a large army to Gaizhou in a mighty way. More than 3 horses surrounded the small Gaizhou.

While ordering to set up camp and assemble siege equipment, he watched the battle in person and looked at Gaizhou City from a distance.

There are not many Ming troops on the top of the city, and even if the army arrived, it didn't increase much.This made Huang Taiji a little surprised. The Ming army in the city seemed very calm, and they didn't even send troops to the top of the city!
Also, the soldiers of the Ming army on guard on the top of the city didn't seem to panic at all.The military uniforms they wore were also different from the Ming army they had seen in the past. They were very new and warm, and seemed to be made of fur. They even wore fur caps inside the helmets.

"Can someone find out, where is the Ming army here?" Huang Taiji frowned, and immediately turned to ask Jierhalang beside him.

When Jierhalang heard this, he replied a little uncertainly: "Your Majesty, this Ming army is probably the Ming army that appeared on the Korean battlefield. It should not be the Guanning Army or the Dongjiang Army. It seems...it seems It's a newly formed army! The leading general should be Cao Bianjiao!"

Cao Bianjiao?Huang Taiji didn't have much impression!However, he also agrees with this point of view. This Ming army is likely to be the Ming army that appeared on the Korean battlefield.According to Dorgon's report, it was said that this Ming army had strict discipline, and when fighting, it had a bit of the shadow of Qi's army.

When he thought of this, he remembered the bloody battle in Hunhe that year.At that time, the Qi Family Army and the Baigan Army once caused the Qing Dynasty to lose in the field battle, and Xianhan couldn't capture the Ming Army's position even after beheading more than a dozen generals.In the end, they fired the gunpowder and brought in the cannons to blast the formation of the Ming army, paying a high price to eliminate them.

Seeing that Huang Taiji's face was a bit ugly, Yue Tuo immediately said: "Your Majesty, I came here with a heavy army, well prepared, and so many siege equipment, so it doesn't matter how powerful the Ming army is inside. This Gaizhou will surely fall with a drumbeat."

"Yes, my Urad Department is willing to be the first to attack the city and share the worries for His Majesty!" A bearded man followed up loudly.With so many siege equipment, Gaizhou City is not as tall and strong as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, I still believe that it cannot be defeated!

Other Jianlu generals and people from various Mongolian tribes also expressed their opinions one after another. They all have great confidence that they can win Gaizhou in one battle.At that time, the emperor has said that if the knife is not sealed, whoever grabs the item will belong to him!
