Chapter 174: Tongguan Butcher

Zhao Ran promoted a brother named Zhao Ling from his family as the deputy general to serve as the general guarding Tongguan, and then separated 300 people from the headquarters to form a temporary core group, and asked them to command all the more than 8000 rebels in Tongguan. Then Zhang Guangjiang soldiers defeated in Daiziying Township and Chunyu Jiangbing soldiers captured in Tongguan, a total of more than 8000 people, were all punished as slaves, stripped of their clothes, and asked them to strengthen and repair the city wall.

After such an arrangement, Zhao Ran was ready to take all the other 1 cavalry and 2 horses to attack Chang'an!

Zhao Ling is actually a veteran of Zhao Ran's side. When he was in Bosaka, Zhao Ling was often used to guard the city, and Zhao Ling was Zhao Ran's brother, so Zhao Ran trusted Zhao Ling so much. Hand over the important task of guarding Tongguan to Zhao Ling!

Zhao Ran patted Zhao Ling on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Brother Ling, this time I arranged for you to guard Tongguan for my brother, but I gave you all my back. If Tongguan is here, I can come back. If Tongguan is gone, I will die!"

"What did brother say? Since Zhao Ling was ordered to guard Tongguan, he will repay it with death!"

"Don't talk about whether you are dead or not. Are you not happy that you are not allowed to go to Chang'an with me this time?"

"Brother, Zhao Ling understands what Tongguan means to us. As long as Tongguan is in our hands, even if the false prince of the Han Dynasty or Liu Yao, the king of Shi'an, comes, we all have the power to bargain!"

"Yes, I asked you to guard Tongguan because I don't want them to hand over the military power of Tongguan after they come! If we give it to them, we will be controlled by others even if we want to turn against Han in the future. As long as Tongguan is in our hands, even if we can't defeat Chang'an, We can also take a long-term view..."

"Elder brother is worried about everything, Zhao Ling hereby wishes elder brother a great success in going to Chang'an!"

"Well, my brother will naturally go all out. By the way, Brother Ling, do you have any doubts about Tongguan's defense?"

"Well, brother, there is nothing else, but I don't understand why all the captives from Zhang Guang and Chun Yuding were not organized into our army with the original Tongguan soldiers?"

"Hehe, because the Tongguan rebels are traitors in the eyes of Zhang Guang and Chun Yuding's captives, and in the eyes of the Tongguan defenders, these prisoners are not as good as themselves in other aspects besides pretending to be noble. Once there is a gap in status and treatment, the rebels in Tongguan will follow us wholeheartedly, but you have to pay attention to mediating the conflict between the two. As for those captives, kill them as much as possible, we don't have that much food to waste..."

Zhao Ling took a look at Zhao Ran's firm eyes, and he fully understood what his brother meant...

Seeing that Zhao Ling didn't speak, Zhao Ran knew that his younger brother was soft-hearted again. He originally wanted to say a few words to him, but now that the battle was imminent, Zhao Ran really didn't want to affect his emotions, so he reached out and patted him again. Zhao Ling shouldered his shoulders and said affirmatively: "Brother Ling, since Tongguan has been handed over to you, then you can handle all matters at your own expense. You don't need to report everything to me. As long as Tongguan is here, you and my brother will still meet each other." day!"

"Don't worry, brother, Zhao Ling will live up to his mission!"

Looking at Zhao Ling's firm gaze, Zhao Ran felt much less worried in her heart!

Zhao Ran stopped talking, turned around and went down the city wall.

Inside Tongguan, Zhao Ran stepped on his horse and rushed out of Tongguan at the head of the horse. More than 1 cavalry behind him followed Zhao Ran out of Tongguan one after another.

Zhao Ling on the city wall watched these more than 1 cavalry come out of Tongguan in a mighty manner. He suddenly had a feeling that his heart had gone with them...

It wasn't until Zhao Ran's army disappeared before his eyes that Zhao Ling went down the tower.

"Report! General, the prisoners are making trouble in the cell, and some of them can't control it anymore. Please deal with it quickly, General!"

Zhao Ling frowned, his face was full of sullenness, and he said: "Come here, bring me weapons, let's go and see!"

All the troops left behind by Zhao Ran followed Zhao Ling to the prison camp.

Zhao Ling came to the location of the prison camp temporarily used to guard these prisoners in Tongguan (the Tongguan prison camp was a temporary square in Tongguan, and more than 8000 prisoners were thrown here, but the people were separated by wooden fences, basically A group of 500 people were resettled in various places throughout the square like this), he found that the place was already overcrowded, more than 8000 people, fortunately it is a big pass like Tongguan, otherwise how could there be such a large place to resettle?But it is true that these many captives have affected the internal order of the entire Tongguan...

Now these people are also starting to make trouble because of the overcrowding and insufficient food distribution, and many people even took the lead in killing some Tongguan defenders who were close to them...

In this way, the conflict between the Tongguan defenders and these newly surrendered captives is almost on the verge of breaking out!

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ling couldn't restrain his anger. His elder brother handed over such an important Tongguan to him. Now that his elder brother has just left, are these captives planning to make trouble? !

"Come on, kill those who took the lead in making trouble, drag out and kill those who helped them, and kill all those who dare to make noise!"

The Tongguan defenders heard Zhao Ling's words, and many people immediately took action, but most of them didn't react too much...

When Zhao Ling saw this, he rushed to his forehead with a murderous look. He was the first to draw out his sword, and swung his butcher knife at the unmoved Tongguan defenders. The Tongguan defenders who were watching the play carried out a merciless massacre!

In the camp, the rioting captives watched this scene in shock. They didn't expect that they would cause trouble, and the ones who were slaughtered turned out to be the Tongguan defenders guarding them...

"Go! Go and call two hundred-man Tongguan troops to come in!"

"Yes! General!"

After a while, the Tongguan defenders of two centurions entered the prison camp.

"The first team kills all the people in the fence on the left side of the head, and the second team kills the people on the right. If you can't kill them all, you don't want to live!"

Everyone in the Tongguan garrison looked at me and I looked at you. They couldn't believe that their new general would issue such an order. These are all unarmed people!

At this moment, the atmosphere in the prison camp has been suppressed to the extreme...

But just when they were hesitating and fearful, Zhao Ling waved his sword and roared again: "Have you seen any dead bodies on the ground, those who don't obey orders will be killed without mercy!"

The Tongguan army's hands were trembling. When they looked at the prisoner in the cell, it was obvious that the other party's eyes were full of anger!

Zhao Ling knew that if he didn't do anything right now, there might be riots at any time, so he yelled at his headquarters: "Draw your sword, if they don't obey the order, kill them all, and leave no one behind!"

"Yes! General!"

Seeing the actions of Zhao Ling's troops, the Tongguan army tightened their spears...

"Tongguan Army, whoever doesn't attack from the two teams, or who strikes slower than the other team, will kill them all!"

Faced with this naked threat, the two Tongguan troops once again looked at the prisoners in the cell. On the one hand was the Zhao Ling army waiting in full battle, and on the other was the unarmed prisoners. Is there a choice...?

The massacre began, and the captives had no way to contend with the heavily armed Tongguan army. The bloody massacre did not last long, and all the captives in the two cells had been killed. More than 900 people died, and many of them At least they stomped on each other to death due to crowding while escaping...

The prisoners in other rooms were silent watching all this, and some even started to cry. There was no anger in their eyes looking at the Tongguan Army, only fear, endless fear...
