907. Burning and looting
"Since you are not interested in a decisive battle with the Song army, then let's prepare to retreat!"
His eyes swept across the generals' faces again, and Chi Fenggu said.
He was probably a little helpless now.
If he had a chance of winning, he would of course be willing to fight the Song army outside the city for his future. But now, he could not see any hope of victory.
The Sansha army without fighting spirit, no matter how many people there are, it is just a number.
The higher the person is, the wider his vision will be. Chi Fenggu is just the main general, so he cannot think as far as Duan Qilin and the Guigu Palace Master.
He never thought that for Dali Emperor Duan Qilin, the soldiers of various tribes would rather die here than go back alive.
On this day, the army of tens of thousands of Dali was preparing to withdraw from Hengshan Village.
However, this made the people in Hengshan Village suffer.
Generals from various tribes led troops to rob grain and women, burn, kill and loot.
In just a short time, the Hengshan Village was filled with fire.
Even Zhao Bing’s Guang Palace was burned to the ground by fire.
The army was venting its anger, and at the same time, it was also thinking of snatching property back to the tribe.
These soldiers of various tribes went to war, but they did not get any benefits by just losing money. They obviously felt unwilling to accept it.
Crying in Hengshan Village.
Although the Dali soldiers had not massacred the city, they were almost the same.
Not to mention valuable things in the city, they almost snatched away any of them as long as they can be eaten or used.
The streets are only chasing the people.
There are corpses everywhere.
The shops are empty everywhere.
The big houses in the city were not spared. Almost all the things were moved. Not only were they smashed, but even the female relatives with a slightly better face were stolen.
Such a huge noise in Hengshan Village quickly alarmed Liu Hongyi and others who had just led their troops back to the barracks.
One hundred secrets and one sparse.
They thought that the Dali army might retreat, but they never thought that the Dali army would do such a tragic and inhumane thing in Hengshan Village.
After all, Hengshan Village can be regarded as the center of Yongzhou. The industry in the city is closely related to many tribes in Yongzhou.
The Dali Army's move was almost equivalent to offending all the tribes in Yongzhou.
But unexpectedly, the Dali army in Hengshan Village didn't care about so much at this time.
They have decided to retreat, which means that the tribes in Yongzhou are useless to them.
What if you offend me?
Perhaps Chi Fenggu and a few people can think of this.
But they may not be able to stop these soldiers of various tribes with red eyes.
The smoke rolled and the fire was flooding, and Hengshan Village was full of devastation.
This is the settlement of human civilization.
I don’t know how long it took to build this Hengshan Village. But now it’s destroyed so quickly.
After Liu Hongyi and others learned the news, they were all furious.
Zhang Hongwei slapped the desk in the handsome tent and stood up and said, "I'll kill those bastards!"
After that, you will have to pay the account.
Miao Cheng and Liu Zhuwen both stood up.
Most of the generals in the tent stood up, with a look of righteous indignation on their faces.
Everyone united in hatred of the enemy.
But at this moment, Wang Ziqian suddenly said, "Don't be impulsive, all generals."
He stood up and trotted to the door of the tent, stopping everyone.
Zhang Hongwei looked a little unkind and said, "Staff Officer Wang, what are you going to do?"
Wang Ziqian is now his general of staff.
The prince gave in and said, "Captain, if we go to attack Hengshanzhai now, it will only make the Dali army in the city even more crazy! Just imagine, if they use the people as hostages, what should we do? Should we attack them regardless of the lives of the people in the city?"
Zhang Hongwei and others were slightly stunned.
A thoughtful look flashed in Liu Zhuwen's eyes.
Then Zhang Hongwei said angrily: "Do you just let us watch those bastards slaughter the people in Hengshan Village?"
Prince Gan said, "But even if our army is going now, it's too late."
Zhang Hongwei said: "Even if it's too late, I will go. I must not sit here and watch them harm our people of the Song Dynasty!"
As he said that, he pushed the prince away and walked out of the tent.
All the generals kept up.
In the past, Liu Hongyi knew that it was not easy for mere 20,000 people to defend the camp, but he still knew that it was impossible to do it.
Isn’t Zhang Hongwei and the others like this now?
Some things may not be achieved even after knowing that they have worked hard. However, they still need to be done.
Zhang Hongwei and others gradually grew up under the influence of Zhao Dongting's patriotism and the people. Their character is undoubtedly a bit different from that of the prince.
If Zhao Dongting was here at this time, I would feel very pleased to see the generals like this.
In the last life, soldiers were called "the cutest people". That's because they always put the people in the most important position.
Flood fighting and drought resistance are the cutest people who are rushing to the forefront.
Now, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are undoubtedly also developing in this direction.
Such an army is far more adorable and respectable than those who are just capable of conquering and fighting.
But at this moment, Liu Zhuwen hurriedly ran to the front of everyone and stopped everyone, "Stop it all."
Everyone looked at him.
Liu Zhuwen said: "I think Staff Wang is right. At this time, siege the city will not only not be able to save the people in the city, but will only make their situation even more dangerous."
He looked at everyone, "Since the Dali Army burned, killed and looted the city, it must have been planned to evacuate Hengshanzhai. They knew that our army was outside the city, so they could also think that our army might invade a large amount, and they didn't dare to stay in the city. While robbing property, they should have no intention of slaughtering the people in the city. It would be better to send cavalry to threaten them first and force them to evacuate Hengshanzhai. In this way, more people can be avoided from being slaughtered."
Everyone was slightly silent because of his words.
Then Zhang Hongwei said, "I will lead the cavalry now!"
Although everyone is furious at the moment, it is obvious that Liu Zhuwen’s statement makes sense.
The dog is anxious to jump over the wall.
At this time, it is better to attack Hengshanzhai just because it is better to be a threat.
Soon, Zhang Hongwei, Miao Cheng, Que Huarong and other generals led the cavalry out of the camp and hurried to Hengshan Village.
Liu Hongyi, Liu Zhuwen, Wang Zigan and others watched the cavalry leave the camp and return to the commander's tent.
As soon as he sat down, Liu Zhuwen said, "The envoy Liu, the emperor clearly stated that this battle is only forcing the Dali army to retreat. You see now..."
Liu Hongyi's eyes flashed across the faces of everyone, and he said in a deep voice: "The Dali Army did such a tragic and inhumane thing, I must not watch them leave. According to my wishes, even if they are not at the cost, they will be killed! Are you willing to lead your army to fight with me?"
All the generals bowed, "I wish to follow Liu to comfort the envoy to go to war."
Liu Hongyi said again: "Don't worry, if the emperor punishes him in the future, I, Liu Hongyi, will bear it with all my strength."
A general said, "Don't say this. Even if Liu's companion doesn't say it, we will go to fight with these Dali soldiers. If the emperor punishes the crime, we will bear it together!"
Hong Wutian, who had never spoken, smiled at this time.
He said, "All the generals are worried. If the emperor is here, he will only be more angry than you. Don't worry, the emperor will never blame you."
The generals were slightly stunned.
Looking at Zhao Dongting's previous style of conduct, I'm afraid he is really as Hong Wutian said. If he wants to be here, he may be faster than Zhang Hongwei and others.
Thinking of this, the generals lost even a little psychological pressure.
Liu Hongyi and Liu Zhuwen hurriedly led everyone out of the handsome tent.
There was another assembly call in the military camp.
After the cavalry, the infantry quickly followed towards Hengshan Village.
This time, compared to the coercion in the morning, it seems much more murderous.
Inside Hengshan Village.
A scout returned to the city to report to Chi Fenggu and others, "General, the Great Song cavalry are coming towards Hengshan Village!"
Chi Fenggu quickly conveyed the news to the generals in the army.
This indeed scared the generals of all tribes.
Of course, they didn't care about letting the soldiers burn, kill and loot, and immediately ordered the soldiers to be collected.
The internal chaos in Hengshan Village gradually subsided.
Although Chi Fenggu could not command the soldiers of these tribes, the generals of their tribes could naturally command them.
After the army gathered, tens of thousands of Dali troops headed towards the west gate of Hengshanzhai.
There are countless female family members in the army.
Things are piled up very high on every grain truck.
But these Dali soldiers were all in a hurry.
