Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 96
"The high governor doesn't know anything!" Feng Lei hadn't spoken yet, but Liu Meng took the bait and said, "Guo Yang is not only helping the evildoers, but he has almost done all the bad things that a person can do. Xiangshan Guo's Guo Both Yang and Guo Jing were generals of Shi Le's direct lineage. They followed Shi Le's conquests and killed innocent people indiscriminately. In the first year of Xiankang (334), Shi Hong, the emperor of Zhao after Shi Hu was deposed, established himself as emperor. As Shi Le's direct line, Guo Both Yang Yang and Guo Yang were purged by Shihu. Since Guo Yang built the fort, he never had the heart to resist Hu. Robbery of women from the Han family near the mountain, but anyone under the age of 13 and 20, regardless of marriage or not, will not be immune. Guo Yang has forced the families of the people in Xiangshan to be destroyed, and he sent thousands of Han women to be used as sacrifices. At the time of Liu Zhu's death, everyone in the ghosts and monsters was in danger, and they couldn't bear the humiliation, so many committed suicide. In order to prevent this kind of chaste and martyrdom who "would rather be broken than broken", Guo hung all the family members of the suicide woman on the tree , hanged alive."

Hearing this, Gao Jingzong trembled with anger, and roared angrily: "Beasts, they are really inferior to beasts!" After his emotions calmed down later, Gao Jingzong asked again: "This beast is so vicious, does the court not care about it?"

"Short-handed, soft-mouthed to eat people, Liu Zhu is the important minister of Zhao, with his protection, who dares to take care of it?" Hu Guang said: "Guo Yang is not a thing, and there is no good person in the Guo family army. These beasts will grab wherever they go. , killing and setting fire, robbing strong women, doing all sorts of evil!"

Gao Jingzong blushed with anger, his intolerance and pity for these Guo family soldiers who begged for surrender disappeared in his heart.

At this time, Tian Luo continued to make up his sword: "Guo Yang fell in love with the daughter of the powerful Zhao Anmin in Xiapitong County (now Shuyang County, Jiangsu Province), and wanted to take her as a concubine. Zhao Anmin refused, and Guo Yang angrily drew troops More than 370 members of Zhao Anmin's family were massacred. Except for Zhao Anmin's daughter, everyone else was killed, and even the newborn baby was not spared. Guo Yang wanted to rape Zhao Anmin's daughter, but Zhao Anmin's daughter I would rather die than follow, and be starved for several days by Guo Yang in the firewood room until I have no strength to struggle, and be ruined by this beast. Zhao Anmin is a strong woman, and after waking up, she lay down on Guo Yang's neck and bit her The next piece of meat. Guo Yang was furious, and ordered Zhao Anmin's daughter to goug out her eyes, cut off her breasts, cut off her arms, and hang her naked on a tree for public display..."

Gao Jingzong said angrily: "This is the order of the governor, and we will never accept the surrender of any Guo family army!"

"Yunniang..." Feng Lei said with difficulty, "Actually, Yunniang's family also died at the hands of Guo Yang..."

Gao Jingzong couldn't bear it anymore and yelled: "Ran Silang, you leave me one, and I will strip him alive."

Gao Jingzong still didn't get the chance to kill the enemy with his hands. Seeing Gao Jingzong wanted to step forward, the soldiers of the dead army became even more frenzied.At this time, Gao Jingzong had adapted to the bloodshed on the battlefield. Looking at the scene of corpses strewn all over the field and blood flowing into rivers, Gao Jingzong said regretfully: "It's a pity, what a good war horse. More than 200 horses died. It would be great if we could capture it, with these horses, our dead army is enough to form a cavalry (each with two horses)."

However, this is obviously impossible. After all, the soldiers of the dead army who have boosted their morale and become crazy have turned into crazy beasts after the discomfort of going on the battlefield for the first time.They couldn't keep their hands at all. Fortunately, the dead army in this battle also captured a lot. They wiped out 5000 troops of Lu Longtian's begging army, of which more than 270 horses were captured before and after. Gao Jingzong regretted that Tian Luo's troops were exhausted. , Nearly [-] horses were killed by mistake.[-] and six war horses from Guo's army were seized, and these horses were far better than Tian Luo's horses.

More than [-] war horses can barely form a cavalry group with one man and one cavalry. The remaining horses can be allocated to the scout troops. It should be enough to form three or five cavalry scout teams.

Gao Jingzong, who has always been nervous, quickly put his regrets and regrets behind him. He rushed to the soldiers of the dead army and said, "Brave and fearless soldiers of the dead army, let's have an extra meal tonight, and eat horse meat!"

"Okay!" The whole army cheered thunderously.Now there is no shortage of food in the Immortal Valley, and everyone can have enough to eat, but there is no guarantee for meat.The soldiers of the dead army began to escort Tian Luo and other prisoners, led the horses, and began to march back to the camp with the spoils.It was almost the same as when Hu Guang's troops fought against Tian Bao on the north bank of the Huai River. Whatever the enemy left behind, the soldiers of the dead army would not let it go.

First strip these corpses naked, unexpectedly harvest hundreds of strings of copper coins and dozens of taels of gold.Although there is not much money, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.As for the tattered armor and broken weapons on the corpse, even the crossbow arrows thrown by the soldiers of the dead army were all taken back, leaving no material left in the area.

In order to prevent the outbreak of the plague, these stripped corpses and stumps were also dug and buried by the soldiers of the dead army, but their heads were preserved, which is the proof of future meritorious service.

As for the fallen war horse, that would be even easier.With swords and axes, dozens of pieces of horses were unloaded, and each soldier left with a piece of bloody horse meat on his back.

Many soldiers of the dead army secretly said that it was a pity that they could not collect horse blood. In the eyes of the soldiers of the dead army, horse blood was also a meat dish.

When the dead army returned more than a dozen miles away, they saw a long line of civilian men holding torches, pushing carts, and carrying arrows and grain bags.Needless to say, this was organized by Ji Kan to transport supplies for the dead army.

Many soldiers of the dead army stepped forward and joked: "Don't go any further, the battle is over, so you come here!"

The civilian husband was very surprised, "How much effort did this take? How could the two-legged infantry catch up to the cavalry so quickly? How could the battle be over so quickly?"

Facts speak louder than words. Looking at the escorted captives, as well as the dead army soldiers walking back happily pulling their horses, they finally believed in a fact.

Originally, the soldiers of the dead army were worried about the horse meat. There were nearly 300 war horses, and each horse had five or six hundred catties of meat, which was nearly 20 catties of meat. , but the horse hide and internal organs were not willing to throw away.In fact, Gao Jingzong did not allow these soldiers to throw away the horse intestines. Smoked horse intestines in Xinjiang are a famous delicacy in later generations.

In addition to the capture of the enemy's dry food, weapons, armor, and horse meat, everyone has to carry dozens of catties, especially the young dead soldiers are almost exhausted, and there is no way to carry things.Fortunately, the vehicles arrived just in time.

When Gao Jingzong returned to Banxian Valley in a cart, Ji Kan and Lu Yonghua had already organized the soldiers to prepare the battle meals for the soldiers, and there were nearly two hundred corpses of Tian Luojun's war horses outside the Banxian Valley.The civilian husband butchered the dead horse and chopped it into fist-sized pieces of meat, and put them in the pot to cook. As for the spices and condiments, of course, there is no need to think about them.Even the horse meat boiled in white water makes the Xiangxian Valley permeated with a tempting meat aroma.
