I am not Song Qinzong

Amidst the screams, hundreds of hungry people fell to the ground, and the rest immediately fell into chaos.

Some moved forward desperately, some turned around and ran away, and some stood still on the spot, at a loss.

No matter how he responded, the second wave of arrow rain fell again.

These hungry people are only civilians, but if they eat an arrow, they will either die or be injured.

Those who died on the spot were fine, and those who were injured scrambled like headless chickens under the pain, smashing the already chaotic formation into pieces.

His weeping and wailing made others frightened and demoralized.

After another rain of arrows, the hungry people finally couldn't hold on any longer, they all turned around and ran back.

"All of them, march forward in line and pursue!" Yue Fei shouted.

The Song Army's sword and shield hand is in front, the spearman follows, and the crossbowman moves forward slowly.

It's just to keep the formation, it's really not fast, and those hungry people are running desperately, and they can't catch up at all.

In the rear, Zhao Huan took all this into his eyes through the binoculars.

"The first battle was quite satisfactory and acceptable." Zhao Huan commented.

"Your Highness, do you want the Ma Jun to attack and leave all the hungry people behind?" Lin Chong asked for instructions.

"Yes!" Zhao Huan agreed.

Although they are vegetables, they are all young and strong.

When the army came here, it required a lot of manpower to build docks and cities, build bridges and roads, transfer supplies, and later develop local minerals.

Furthermore, there is no reason to add variables to putting this young man back, so it is better to catch all of them and use them.

On the opposite side, Liu Shunren saw that the hungry people were defeated, and hurriedly shouted: "Get out!"

Originally intending to let the hungry people attack the formation of the Song army and at the same time consume the physical strength of the Song army, they never thought that they would collapse after only three rounds of arrows.

With one order, the two thousand elites turned around and headed back to Macheng.

"Where to go!"

While drinking violently, Yang Zaixing had already led an army of five hundred horses to kill them.

The gun shoots out like light, and those who block it will die.

The horse army behind him either slashed or stabbed with a spear, killing Liu Shunren's guards.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Shunren didn't dare to resist, turned his horse's head and galloped away.

"The thief goes away!"

Yang Zaixing picked up two miscellaneous fish and chased after them.

Raiding Macheng, with Liu Shunren and without Liu Shunren, is definitely two levels of difficulty.

Of course Liu Shunren wanted to go back to defend the city, but his horse didn't take good care of it all winter, so it couldn't run fast at all.

Not a moment later, Yang Zaixing had already caught up to him.

"Forgive me, General, I surrender..."

puff~

Liu Shunren felt a chill in his chest, and when he looked down, a gleaming iron gun stabbed from behind to the front.

The severe pain instantly overwhelmed his thoughts, his eyes went dark, and he fell off the horse and felt cool.

"Hey, you are so cowardly, you dare to resist the Heavenly Army!"

In disdain, Yang Zaixing put Liu Shunren's body on the horse and brought it back.

On the way back, five thousand horse troops were seen scattered in all directions, chasing the Liao people like hunting.

The infantry behind couldn't catch up, so they had to be tied up with the rope and escorted back one by one.

230 Wuqing Xiama City

The smoky traces on the ruined walls have not yet dissipated, and bones can be seen faintly under the collapsed walls.

This is a destroyed village, not a single intact house, let alone a living person.

"Your Highness, if you want to come to Macheng, there are not many villages left." Xu Guanzhong sighed.

Although they belong to the enemy country, and they don't have much affection for the people of Liao country, what they saw along the way was indeed shocking.

The hundreds of villages and three market towns seen along the way were all burned down, leaving no trace of people.

Occasionally, a few people were lucky enough to escape the war and starvation, but they were also skinny and looked like they were about to die.

Although he looked down on these people, Zhao Huan ordered relief.

To win Daozhou without a single citizen would take a lot of time, energy and money to fill it with immigrants.

The cost is too high and it is not the best choice.

Therefore, if possible, it is better to save the people here as much as possible.

It's just that the situation is really not optimistic.

According to the statistics of the account books handed over by the Liao Kingdom, Macheng County belongs to Shang County, with a population of more than [-] households, [-] people.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, there are still [-] to [-], which should be thankful.

At this moment, Zhao Huan also regretted that he should not have killed all the captives and wounded.

Treatment does cost money, but if you make good use of it after treatment, you will definitely be able to recover the cost.

"Send the order, speed up, and be sure to arrive outside Macheng before sunset!" Zhao Huan said.

The messengers ran around to deliver orders, and the speed of the army immediately accelerated.

At sunset, the army arrived outside Macheng on time.

During the reign of Emperor An of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xianbei sent troops to attack Macheng twice. The reason was that Macheng was located in an important place and had abundant food and grass.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Macheng became an important grain storage place and a water and land transportation hub, and played a very important role in the process of conquering Goryeo.
