Chapter 301 Angry

Baofeng County, belonging to Ruzhou, is in the north of Nanyang Prefecture and northwest of Runing Prefecture, rich in coal, iron and other mineral deposits.

After Gao Yihuan wanted to come to the mine in Baofeng County from Li Yan, he invested a lot of manpower and material resources here to mine, and built a smelting workshop to directly smelt the ore, and then sent the crude iron to Runing for another practice. to meet the needs of building weapons and farm implements.

Around the mine, smelting workshop, and transportation and other matters, there are more than [-] young and strong working in Baofeng, and the number of family members is even more.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, there was no cloud in the sky, and the sun was hanging in the sky. However, the snow on the ground had not completely melted, and instead of being warm, the weather became much colder.

At this time, on the road from Jiaxian to Baofeng, thousands of cavalry were galloping ahead as vanguards, their horseshoes trampled the snow-covered road, and the cavalry passed the snow-white road, and the road immediately turned the color of mud.

"Where are you going?" Gao Yihuan asked while waving his horsewhip.

"Just after entering Baofeng's land boundary, more than ten li ahead is the mine!" Jin Shenghuan replied in a gallop.

Baofeng County is located in the hinterland of Henan, surrounded by Mount Lu, Mount Huo, and Mount Shenwu. The mountains are complex and not suitable for cavalry operations.

Gao Yihuan really didn't expect that Duoduo's army had just crossed the Yellow River, and the men and horses had just arrived at the city of Luoyang.

Gao Yihuan stopped talking after hearing this, but waved his horsewhip and continued to move forward.

The Qing army unexpectedly attacked his iron mine, which made Gao Yihuan very angry, and Ruzhou had a long mountain range, so he was not afraid of the Qing army when he arrived, so he raised soldiers and wanted to keep the Qing army who had entered Ruzhou.

After discussing with many of his staff, Gao Yihuan has decided not to confront Duoduo head-on. The army will not walk out of the mountains and hills easily, and will not give the Qing army a chance to wipe them out in field battles.

Relying on Funiu Mountain and its remaining veins, the army will attack and harass the Qing army on the plain.

Now that the Qing army has penetrated into the branch of Funiu Mountain, it will be an opportunity for Gao Yihuan.

At this time, due to the sudden arrival of the Qing army, almost all the villages along the way were empty.

Gao Yihuan passed by many villages on horseback, and found that there was no one in the village, and almost no living people could be seen, so he couldn't help frowning.

At this time, the army ran for more than ten miles, and the villages along the way were quiet, only the crows could be heard from time to time in the mountains and forests, which made people feel as if the army had entered a ghost.

"Commander, there are no people or corpses in these villages. I'm afraid all the people have been taken away by the Tartars!" The army passed another village, Jin Shenghuan looked around and said with a frown.

Last year, he ate a meal of board, but it was only a skin trauma, and it didn't take long for him to fully recover.

After the refugees in Xuzhou and Xinzheng were resettled, the people were busy with their livelihoods and had no time to hate him. Gao Yihuan felt that the limelight had passed, so he was reinstated and entrusted with important tasks.

When he went north to attack Xingyang last time, the bodies of civilians killed by the Qing army could be seen everywhere along the way. Gao Yihuan was a little surprised that the Qing army did not kill anyone this time.

It's just that based on his understanding of the Qing army, these bastards probably won't have any good intentions.If you don't kill him now, I'm afraid it's a worse idea.

Gao Yihuan pondered for a while, "The Qing army kidnapped the people, I'm afraid they are planning to use them to attack Luoyang City, or to plant land for Duoduo."

In terms of strength comparison, Gao Yihuan and Li Yan combined are not Duoduo's opponents, so Gao Yihuan is not optimistic about the battle of Luoyang.

It turned out that Li Yan relied on Hulao Pass to block the Qing army in the eastern part of Henan, just like Tongguan guarding the Guanzhong Plain. The surrounding area of ​​Luoyang is relatively safe, but now the Qing army has crossed the river from Mengjin, just like an army When the enemy entered Guanzhong from Pujindu, the natural danger in Guanzhong lost its meaning.

Now that the Duoduo army is crossing the river from Mengjin Ferry, the mountains and city gates around Luoyang have lost their meaning. The cavalry of the Qing army can gallop in the wilderness around Luoyang. Dare to fight against the Qing army on the plain, but as the cities around Luoyang fell one after another, Luoyang has become an isolated city, and the final fall has become inevitable.

In this battle of Luoyang, fighting recklessly will only drain Gao Yihuan's blood, so Gao Yihuan doesn't want to fight recklessly. What he hopes to see most is that Duoduo has suffered heavy losses under the city of Luoyang, which can give him an opportunity, or Duoduo returned to the north with all his food.

According to the method Chen Mingxia taught him, Gao Yihuan can roughly guess Duoduo's intention to kidnap the people by pushing backwards, and this is exactly what he is afraid of.

If the Qing army used the people to consume the defenders in Luoyang City, it would be difficult for Gao Yihuan to expect Duoduo to suffer heavy losses.

If the Qing army plundered the surrounding area of ​​Luoyang and robbed the people of food, instead of killing them all, but left some people to continue farming, so that the Qing army could obtain a continuous supply of food and grass, then after the Qing army captured Luoyang, they would be able to expand in northern Henan. Stand firm and let Gao Yihuan always be threatened.

For a moment, Gao Yihuan's heart was a little heavy. If Duoduo was in Luoyang, looting everywhere, kidnapping the people to participate in the siege, and then farming, the situation would be very unfavorable to him.

At this moment, Gao Yihuan was worried, when a gust of mountain wind blew in front of him, but Gao Yihuan frowned suddenly.

"The smell of blood?" Gao Yihuan smelled it, and there was a strong smell of blood in the wind, and he couldn't help but rein in the horse.

"Jie Shuai, there is a situation at the entrance of the mine!" At this time, a cavalry galloped back against the team.

Jin Shenghuan hurriedly asked: "But there are Tartars?"

"No, it was the Tartars who killed all of us." The visitor replied with anger on his face.

After hearing this, Gao Yihuan's face darkened, and he whipped the horse's buttocks, "Go, lead the way."

The people and horses continued to move forward, and when they turned over a raised high slope and appeared at the foot of the mine, the faces of the soldiers of the horse army changed.

At the foot of the mine, there are large expanses of snow, all of which are crimson in color, while the snow-covered mountainside is covered with once gray things, and a small mountain just blocks the entrance of the mine.

Looking at the hill from a distance, it looks like ore piled up in a mine, but of course it cannot be ore.

Gao Yihuan and all the soldiers couldn't help reining in the reins, and slowly slowed down their horses. When they were ten steps away, everyone reined in their horses in unison and stopped.

The faces of Gao Yihuan and the others who were riding on the horses all changed, and they became angry instantly.

A cavalryman said "wow", vomited a mouthful of turbidity, hurriedly got off his horse, squatted aside and retched.

Everyone saw that the halfway up the mountain was covered with a layer of headless corpses. Blood flowed out from the corpses, soaked into the white snow, and then was frozen again. The foot of the mountain was crimson like a sea of ​​blood.

That hill is not a mine, but a landscape formed by tens of thousands of human heads.

It's not that Gao Yihuan has never seen a picture of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, but this is the first time he has seen such a scene. The sight of tens of thousands of corpses being piled into the city made him particularly shocked.

Gao Yihuan's Adam's apple twitched, suppressed his anger, rode his horse and walked slowly to the front of the hill, and a group of soldiers also resisted the shock and followed.

At this time, the general stood up and dismounted to check, examining the stacked heads in front of him.Wang Deren looked carefully, then turned around and said, "Jie Shuai, they are all women and old and weak heads..."

The Qing army killed many people. Tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, were killed in one massacre of the city. But he killed people and put them like this. What did he want to do?To intimidate, or to provoke?
