Wanli 1592

Chapter 552 Cruel Fate

"To the south? That's all Han territory. There must be a garrison. In addition to the main force of the Han people in the north, if they surround us, won't we be courting death the further south we go?"

Ralek was in a hurry.

Liu Xi shook his head, as if he had a plan in his hands.

"Your Majesty, think about it, we have deceived the Ming army to the north before, and now we have won this period of time, that is to say, the distance between us and the Ming army is sufficient. At least we, most of the Ming army are infantry, The speed is not as good as ours. As long as we speed up and head south, the Ming army will definitely follow and chase south.

At that time, their main force would chase south, but the distance from us would become farther and farther away. At that time, we circled in a big circle, left the Ming army behind, and then suddenly went north, which made them unexpected How did we go south and then suddenly went north.

At this time, their main forces are all in the south, while the troops in the north are weak. We suddenly attacked and caught them by surprise. Whether it is Yanmen Pass or Pingxing Pass, even if they have successfully recovered before, if we suddenly attack and beat them down, they will be defeated. I can go back safely.

As for food, as long as there are Han people, there will be food. Wherever the Han people go, they will reclaim the land to grow food. Wherever there are Han people, there will be food. This is the Ming Dynasty, and there are Han people everywhere, so , There is food everywhere, just grab it. "

Liu Xi made a few gestures, making Lalik dizzy, although I don't know the specific arrangement, but it sounds good, it seems to be very operable, and Liu Xi looks confident With his appearance, Lalik felt that he was very reliable.

"Since the military adviser said so, where should we go next?"

Liu Xi pointed to the south: "Qi County."

There is no special reason for Liu Xi to choose Qi County. There are many large Shanxi merchants. In fact, there are many targets to choose from, but the closest one is Qi County. Further south, there are Pingyao, Fenzhou, Puxian, etc. They are all settlements of large Shanxi merchants.

The Shanxi Merchants Group is really rich. There are many rich households with millions of households, more medium wealthy households with hundreds of thousands, and even more small wealthy households with 10,000+ tens of thousands. There are too many and too fat, the fat is oily, and the fat makes many people jealous.

Generally speaking, big businesses compete with the locals first, and then they can develop conflicts outside. If they can't even compete with the locals, they don't even think about developing to other places. Therefore, most of them have disputes with the Liu family And grudges, of course, there are many disputes and grudges with Liu Xi himself.

As a child of a branch family, Liu Xi got into the relationship with the King of Jin. Although he was able to rise to the top, he was also jealous and criticized by many people.

In the past, due to the gap in status and status, some things could only be swallowed, but now, Liu Xi doesn't plan to continue playing, he wants to turn the table, and he plans to take revenge one by one slowly.

Since there is a stupid pig who is willing to use it for himself, then just use it, and when it is almost used, send this group of stupid pigs to death together with those greedy guys.

Now, let them burn out their energy first.

An hour later, the army of northern captives further ravaged Taiyuan, and after killing the people inside, the whole team roared away.

Before leaving, Lalik planned to burn the food and goods left behind, but was stopped by Liu Xi.

It will be more useful to keep it.

During these three hours, most of the elite areas of the entire Taiyuan City were destroyed, including government offices at all levels, settlements for the rich, and imperial examination courts.

Officials and rich people were the first to be massacred. A large number of left-behind officials at all levels of government were killed. Many people did not realize that the city had been breached and died under the butcher's knife of the North. Their deaths directly led to a large number of people in the city. Military power cannot be launched.

Countless other people were massacred. After the Ming army's extremely limited resistance failed, the Taiyuan defender also died in battle. The remaining Ming army lost their unified command and could only resist individually.

Some Ming soldiers gathered together to hold a group to defend a certain building and survived, while some Ming soldiers were left alone, and their heads were chopped off by the cavalry without mercy.

The government and agencies at all levels still have soldiers and horses to garrison, and they can resist for a while, while more residential areas are not guarded at all. Except for some bold residents who spontaneously use various sticks and poles to defend themselves, there is no help. One exception was killed, while many who hid themselves well survived.

None of the big families survived, because Liu Xi's identification allowed the Beilu to strike accurately, concentrate manpower to break open their gates, and kill all the so-called guards who only know how to bully the common people. Just a carnival.

Under Liu Xi's instructions, all the belongings they had accumulated for many years were taken out of the cellar and warehouse, and all of them belonged to the northern prisoners. Go back to the grassland and enjoy it slowly.

The pampered, gentle and elegant ladies, who were almost inhumane, were destroyed. Together with countless daughters of the Han family, they became slaves planned by the northern captives. Some were ruined on the spot, and some were not. Never thought that I would face such a cruel fate directly.

Just like Liu Xi never thought that he would face such a cruel fate like this.

Nearly 2000 Ming troops died in the war, and more than [-] Ming troops trapped houses in various places and persisted until the Beilu retreated, while more Ming troops fled to the north at the moment the Beilu broke through the city. They did not How much will to resist, when he saw that the northern captives almost fell from the sky and entered the city, they immediately collapsed.

Since ancient times, there are not many cities that can hold on to the stage of street fighting. At least Taiyuan City has not succeeded. If the city wall is breached, morale will collapse. If the enemy directly appears in the city, it will be a devastating blow to morale.

Therefore, when the northern captives withdrew from the city, apart from a large number of people who did not die, there were not many officials left in the city, but the Ming army trapped in the buildings remained the most. More than 2000 people survived. There are only more than 2000 people left in the army of Taiyuan City.

Facing the suddenly quiet city, many people couldn't believe that Beilu had left at first. When they saw no more Beilu, they all cried out excitedly. Although the fire gradually started It has spread, but if it is only a few areas, the city can still be saved.

Immediately, residents spontaneously organized and started to fight the fire, and many soldiers of the Ming army started to fight the fire and rescue civilians under the leadership of grassroots officers. What is the situation, and what is the reaction from the outside world.

However, when the seemingly invaluable gold and silver treasures and grains left behind by the North Prisoners were discovered, the wonderful psychological activities led to specific actions, and such actions led to more than the North Prisoners broke into the city. greater tragedy.

The beginning of the tragedy began with a Ming army of more than 100 people under the leadership of his officers.
