Chapter 1510 Under the platform are all the bones of soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty (first update)
Chapter 1519

In a distance of ten miles, he rode his horse and galloped wildly, and it took only a cup of tea to arrive. He saw the Yongle City, which had been completely ruined, standing on a cliff on three sides, with a gentle slope on one side, about three miles away from the Wuding River.

The interior and exterior are already overgrown with weeds, and unknown small trees even grow on some broken walls and rafters.

The neighing sound of the mount under Wang Yang startled a few wild birds to flap their wings and fly south, looking at the withered grass that had been completely stained with autumn frost, Wang Yang was filled with emotion.

In less than 20 years, the Great Song Dynasty suffered a disastrous defeat rarely seen in decades. Nearly [-] soldiers and civilians were slaughtered here. The battlefield of the Yongle City Battle is almost overwhelmed by overgrown weeds.

Perhaps after tens of years, or even a hundred years later, no one will remember that here, the Song Dynasty lost all face, and Emperor Shenzong, the enterprising emperor of the Song Dynasty, became decadent and finally died of illness. die.

Behind him, more and more intensive hoofbeats finally interrupted Wang Yang's emotion. He turned his head and looked over. Thousands of elite Song cavalry were galloping towards this side, after approaching the ruins of Yongle City. , the soldiers consciously tightened their reins, and set their sights on the ruins.

Seeing those soldiers pointing at the ruins in a low voice, their faces were extremely heavy, Wang Yang took a deep breath, turned his horse's head, asked Zhe Keshi about the burial place, and beat his horse again , heading towards the hillside in the west of Yongle City.

After galloping up the hillside, Wang Yang saw a huge platform with few weeds, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Zhe Keshi pointed to the somewhat empty platform.

"Marshal, after identification of all the corpses outside Yongle City, all the bones that were not wearing Xixia costumes or wearing Xixia armor were buried here."

"As for the bones of those Xixia thieves whose identities were confirmed, we threw them in a valley not far away."

"You mean, under this platform that covers an area of ​​nearly one mile, there are all the bones of soldiers and civilians of our Great Song Dynasty?" Wang Yang took a deep breath, got off his horse, and looked at the sparsely weeded platform and asked. .

"It's precisely...these are the soil that was dug out and filled with the bones after the pit was dug out. In order to avoid being invaded by wild animals, we specially let the horses trample on it tightly, which caused this place. It's different." Zhe Keshi nodded and replied.

"One hundred thousand soldiers and civilians...that's one hundred thousand living creatures, one hundred thousand people of the Song Dynasty, just one battle, under the small city of Leyong..." Listening to the bleak cold wind, Wang Yang's heart was blocked.

"But someone has been to this place to worship?" Wang Yang's eyes quickly noticed the strangeness around the platform with not much vegetation, scattered unburned paper money, and the remnants of those incense sticks.

It seems that many people here have come here to perform sacrificial activities. Seeing this scene, Wang Yang's eyebrows were raised high, and there was a gleam of warmth in his eyes, and he was also a little sad.

Zhe Keshi nodded sadly and explained. "After we buried those bones here, soldiers and soldiers also came to worship, as well as relatives and relatives of those dead refugees..."

"In that case, does the governor of Yinzhou know about this place?" Wang Yang nodded slightly, and looked into the distance. The new city is only ten miles away from the ruins of Yongle city. Outline.

"This, this subordinate really doesn't know." Zhe Keshi heard a trace of displeasure from Wang Yang's calm tone, and couldn't help but beat his heart, but he knew very well that it must be related to this desolate land. The bone platform has a lot to do with it.

"Where is Yang Shouyue?" Wang Yang took a deep breath, looked at the platform that occupied more than [-] dead soldiers and civilians below, and shouted sharply.

"The last general is here, what orders does the commander-in-chief have?" Yang Shouyue didn't dare to neglect, and hurried out with more people.

"Pass down the commander's order to let the troops crossing the north with the boat speed up, and gather here on the shore. Those who do not arrive at [-]:[-] noon will be dealt with by military law!"

"Promise!" Yang Shouyue hurriedly promised loudly, then turned around and gave the order to the soldiers behind him, and soon Eleven and More were galloping towards the south.

"Brother Zhe, please send a letter to Yinzhou City immediately so that the governor of Yinzhou can hear the news and come here to meet me immediately. Those who are highly respected come here. By the way, let the shopkeeper of Wanhong Trading Co., Ltd. Yinzhou also come here."

"My lord, this is..." Zhe Keshi lowered his voice and asked Wang Yang.

"Wang is going to build a towering tower here to commemorate the [-] heroic souls of our Song Dynasty." Wang Yang patted his shoulders and looked into the distance with deep eyes.

"They dedicated their lives to Da Song, at least let their spirits in the sky know that Da Song will definitely remember the feats and glory they have paid for Da Song."

After Wang Yang said this, he walked straight forward. Zhe Keshi turned his head to look at the Boneyard, and then looked at Wang Yang, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little hot.

"Grandpa Xu, I trouble you to fetch the pigeons. I have an urgent matter, and I will report it to Your Majesty..." After Wang Yang walked not far away, he turned towards a man in the army who was also wearing Yuanyou iron armor, but had a white face and no beard. The middle-aged man ordered.

"Please wait a moment, Commander." After Xu Gonggong nodded, he turned around and went to do it.

After receiving Wang Yang's military order, those boats that were originally rippling in the Wuding River naturally did not dare to slack in the slightest, and began to speed up one after another.

And the officers and soldiers on the ship looked at each other, not knowing what happened.Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and the soldiers rushed to the ruins of Yongle City as quickly as possible and boarded the river bank.

After inquiring about the musketeers who arrived earlier and had already started camping here, they found out that the commander-in-chief seemed to want the army to camp here because of the [-] soldiers and civilians who died here.

#####
At this time, the news has already been received that the officials, gentry, villagers, and representatives of merchants in Yinzhou, who are only more than 40 miles away from the former site of Yongle City, also drove to the city in a convenient and fast four-wheeled carriage. so far.

"I will see the commander-in-chief. The unknown commander-in-chief is here, and I will be far away to welcome you..." Zhao Sui, the governor of Yinzhou, saluted Wang Yang with some trepidation.

"There's no need to be too polite, this area should be under the jurisdiction of Yinzhou, right?" Wang Yang asked with a faint smile after raising his hand to help.

"That's right, fifty miles to the south of this area is the junction of our Yinzhou and the Suide army."

"That's good. I want to ask you, have you heard about the sacrificial offerings here?" Wang Yang pointed his finger at the barren burial place behind him, and his tone seemed a bit heavy.

"I have indeed heard that in Yinzhou, Suide City, Yanchuan, and Yan'an Mansion, many relatives of the common people are buried here, and they will come to offer sacrifices every time it is Qingming... Zhao Sui looked at Wang Yang's expression and replied cautiously.

"My lord, a son and a grandnephew of this old man were all buried here because of the battle of Yongle City..." The old villager who followed Zhao Sui here was already in tears, and his eyes fell on this buried area. On the ground of bones.
