126 Blood Sacrifice

When Liu Hongjian and his party rushed to Linxian County, the city walls of Linxian County had been basically repaired. It is said that Lao Fang mobilized all the strong labor force in the county for this purpose.

"Old Fang did a good job!" Liu Hongjian dismounted first, and then helped Yang Xue down.

"Where is it! It's all thanks to Uncle." County magistrate Fang hurriedly said modestly.

The people in Lin County heard about Liu Hongjian's defense of the city, and all of them worked very hard, and within a few days, the incomplete city wall of Lin County was restored.

When the hundreds of thousands of soldiers left behind heard Liu Hongjian's approach, they also rushed out of the city with a whoosh, many of them still wrapped in white cloths to bandage their wounds.

"Everyone has worked hard!"

A row of teenagers looked at Liu Hongjian, their eyes filled with the joy of reunion, Liu Hongjian only said a word, and many teenagers had tears in their eyes.

During this trip to Taiyuan and Datong, more than [-] soldiers from Qianhusuo were killed in battle. During this period of time, AKM was used without restraint, and six guns were damaged because they could not withstand the high-intensity shooting.

These were flaws, and Liu Hongjian had to take out six brand new AKMs as supplements, leaving only thirteen spare firearms in the ring.

It is not enough to rely on such a few firearms in large-scale operations, and the casualties in close-range combat with cold weapons are too large. It seems that the establishment of military factories is imperative, Liu Hongjian thought.

"Old Yan, go and take out the corpses of your brothers and cremate them outside the city. When you return to Beijing, Ben Bo will bring them all back to the capital."

Thinking of those teenagers, Liu Hongjian felt heavy.

Outside Lincheng, firewood was piled up high, and on top of the firewood, there were neat yards of soldiers killed by thousands of households, a total of 180 people, divided into ten square teams.

It was dusk, the sun was setting, and all 48 officers and soldiers of the Qianhu Station outside the city stood neatly beside the corpse.

Niu Zhuang and dozens of seriously injured soldiers were carried here. After several days of recuperation, Niu Zhuang's wounds had scabbed over, and thick gauze was wrapped on his face and back.

Niu Zhuang had a back injury and had trouble getting dressed, so he went out of the city shirtless. Even if they were lying on the ground, they had to watch their brother go.

"Bring Liu Zongmin and Yuan Zongdi here!" Liu Hongjian said in a deep voice.

Chang Yu immediately brought over the two men who were tightly bound and stuffed with rags in their mouths. Yuan Zongdi was not tall but stocky, and Liu Zongmin was tall but one-armed. After a few days in prison, the two had already Become haggard.

The soldiers tied the two of them to the cross stakes planted next to the soldiers who died in the battle at Qianhu. Liu Hongjian ordered the soldiers to remove the rags from their mouths. He wanted to hear what these two wicked people had to say. .

Yuan Zongdi's trembling legs were obviously an admission of cowardice.

"Dog officer! Is it comfortable to be a dog for the dog emperor of Ming Dynasty? Hahahaha!" Liu Zongmin, who had only one arm, yelled.

Liu Hongjian turned around and drew a sword from the waist of a young man behind him.

"Da Ming's energy is exhausted, and when I, Da Shun Kingdom raises its arms, I will definitely tear you to pieces... ah—"

Before Liu Zongmin could finish speaking, Liu Hongjian stabbed Yuan Zongdi's left arm with a knife, and Liu Zongmin cried out in pain.

"Go on, Ben, listen!" Liu Hongjian whispered in Liu Zongmin's ear.

"Have you ever heard that... ah—" Liu Zongmin just said, when Liu Hongjian stabbed his mutilated right arm again.

"The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking, the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden...ah——" Liu Zongmin was stabbed again in the left and right legs.

"You're that Daming's running dog, just wait! With that faint ruler and sycophant around, you will definitely not... ah... well... die."

Liu Hongjian stabbed Liu Zongmin directly in the abdomen, and the pain in his arms and legs was still bearable, but the stabbing in the stomach directly made him lose his strength.

"Remember, let's not say that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is not a stupid and incompetent person, nor is Lao Tzu a person who can be arrested without a fight. How can he be as good as he wants, but I hope he can be ashamed of his heart!
Also, Hades is already waiting for you below, and my brothers will take care of you when you get there, goodbye! "

Liu Hongjian put the saber on Liu Zongmin's neck, said softly in a voice that Liu Zongmin could hear, and then exerted force with his right hand.

During the whole process, all the officers and soldiers of the Qianhu Office did not say a word, they just stared at Liu Zongmin until he died of blood.

Yuan Zongdi also watched Liu Zongmin's death with his eyes helplessly. He was so frightened that he couldn't speak. When he saw Liu Hongjian approaching him with a bloody saber, he trembled all over.

"No...no, don't...want...kill..." Yuan Zongdi was so frightened that he couldn't choose what to say, but his eyes opened wider and wider, and finally he fainted from fright .

But how could the soldiers of Qianhusuo allow him to die so easily, a basin of cold well water poured over his head instantly woke up Yuan Zongdi.

"My lord, let me do it." A Baihu with a leg injury limped over, his eyes full of determination.

During the Battle of Linxian, his brother was shot in the head by a cannonball and died in Lincheng. The corpses were not collected. As an elder brother, there is nothing more angry than seeing his brother die in front of his eyes.

So he wanted to avenge his brother with his own hands, killing the murderer in front of him who killed 180 people in Qianhusuo.

Liu Hongjian naturally knew who the person in front of him was. He and the young man who was killed by the shell were the only pair of brothers in Qianhu in Longevity Mountain. shoulders for comfort.

"Xiaoyong, my brother has avenged you!" With tears in his eyes, the Baihu officer raised his saber and slashed at Yuan Zongdi's shoulder fiercely.

Before Yuan Zongdi had time to shout out, the hundred household officials slashed at Yuan Zongdi frantically again.

Within three breaths, the Hundred Household Official hacked dozens of knives. Even though Yuan Zongdi had passed away long ago, the Hundred Household Official still did not stop his movements. In the end, Yuan Zongdi's body was hacked to pieces.

"Brother, it's okay. The dead cannot be brought back to life. With adults around, they will be fine in the future!" Chang Yu stepped forward to persuade Baihu to stop.

Liu Hongjian turned his back to the execution place, tears welled up in his eyes, seeing the hundred household officers retreating to the queue, he also returned to the front of the queue of the thousand households.

"ignition!"

Several sergeants held up torches and lit the firewood under the corpse. After a while, the flames started to blaze, and the sky gradually darkened.

Da da da da - a hundred AKMs fired into the sky, and the sound of the guns rang through the sky.

"Salute!" Liu Hongjian put his right hand on his chest and bowed to the dead soldier.

This is a military salute unique to Liu Hongjian's thousands of households. Most of the soldiers are dressed in armor, and thousands of people perform the breast-button salute together with great momentum.

After the fireworks were extinguished, Liu Hongjian ordered someone to bring several small jars, and put a pinch of ashes from each ashes into the jars.

Liu Hongjian knew about Chongzhen's plan to build a monument to heroes and heroes beside the Taimiao as early as when he was in Shanhaiguan, but he felt that it was solemn to build the monument next to the Taimiao, but it was in the imperial city, which was inconsistent with his original intention.

Since it is a monument, it is natural to be worshiped by the people, not inside the high wall, so he specially wrote a memorial and suggested that the monument be built outside Chengtianmen, beside Chang'an Street, for the people to pay homage to.

He will definitely bring back the ashes of the soldiers killed by Qianhu to the capital, and they should be paid homage to all the people.

A large pit had already been dug on the side, and the remaining ashes were moved into the pit by the soldiers and buried with soil, while the corpses of Yuan Zongdi and Liu Zongmin were nailed to the cross.

Without a monument, the corpses of these two people would be. They would not be buried in the ground, exposed to the wilderness, and allowed to be devoured by wild dogs.

"My lord, the sentinel came to report that Shanhaiguan Counselor Tang Feng is less than eighty miles away from Lin County, and he is expected to arrive in Lin County tonight!" Chen Mingyu came from behind and reported in a low voice.

Five days after the end of the war, the reinforcements from Shanhaiguan finally arrived!
