The Chung Ling Army successfully captured Xinye, and Liu Xiu's troops' task of preventing the county army from crossing the river was successfully completed, and he immediately led his army to retreat back to Xinye from the east bank of Juiyang.
Liu Xiu's First Division arrived in Xinye three days later than Liu Yan's First Division. During these three days, the Chung Ling Army was not idle and launched a bloody massacre in Xinye City.
Many people in the Chung Ling Army live in Xinye, such as Deng Yu, Deng Chen, Deng Feng, etc. Their family members and relatives followed them to Chung Ling. It was not bad, and they were finally recovered. A life, and those who did not follow them and stayed in Xinye all suffered.
The Xinye County government punished all these people for participating in rebellion, and all of them were burned (burned to death). Adding together these innocent people, there were no less than a thousand people.
It can be said that the Xinye County Government dealt a fatal blow to the family members and relatives of the Chung Ling Army. Now that the Chung Ling Army has captured Xinye, can they not find these people to deal with and take revenge?
County government officials, from top to bottom, almost without exception, were all executed, and their family members were not spared. The men were beheaded and the women were demoted to official prostitutes.
In addition, the Chung Ling Army posted a reward order in the city, encouraging the people of Xinye to report the original informant. As long as someone reported it, the investigation would be a formality, and almost all those found guilty would be executed.
In just three days, the Chongling Army liquidated more than 3,000 people in Xinye City. Although some of them were guilty and deserved their punishment, a large number of them were still unjustly accused.
After the Chung Ling Army captured Xinye, everyone from Liu Yan to the common soldiers became a little carried away and forgot about everything, thinking that the entire Nanyang County had become their own.
There is certainly a basis for why people have such thoughts.
First of all, the Zhutian Capital Division has been fighting very smoothly since the uprising. First, they captured Caiyang without any bloodshed, then Deng County and Tongling, and then Chaoyang, Huyang, and Shandu.
Only the attack on Xinye was a little more difficult, but in the end they were successfully captured.
The most crucial point is that in the Battle of Xinye, they defeated the famous Cen Peng, the number one general in Nanyang and the number one enemy of the Zhu Tiandu tribe. How could people not be happy and excited?
Secondly, Xinye is the second most important town in Nanyang, and the county government actually lost Xinye, which shows that the county government's strength is only that, and it is not something to be afraid of.
Now the scale of the Chongling Army has reached tens of thousands, while the strength of the Nanyang County Army is less than 6,000. It can be said that the comparison of strength between our own side and the county government has changed drastically. As long as our own army marches north, there will be no No one can stop them. It is only a matter of time to capture Wancheng and the county city.
Liu Ji, who had made great achievements in the Battle of Xinye, was even more complacent. After entering Xinye, he did nothing else but took in two concubines.
Even though some people were dissatisfied with this, they did not dare to say anything. On the battlefield, the only one on the Chung Ling Army side who could rival Cen Peng was Liu Ji. Now Liu Ji has become the leader of Zhu Tiandu. The most powerful general in the army, he was also the popular figure in front of General Liu Yan, and no one dared to find displeasure with him.
When Liu Xiu and others returned to Xinye, what they saw in the city was a scene of panic.
The once lively streets of Xinye were now deserted and deserted, with only a few people. Occasionally, pedestrians walked by in a hurry, while the soldiers of the Chung Ling Army walked sideways in the streets and alleys.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xiu frowned secretly. He didn't understand why Xinye was so depressed. Could it be that all the people in the city had fled? He, Ma Wu, Cen Peng and others were walking forward when they saw several Chung Ling troops in front of them.
Soldiers blocked the way of a family of four. The faces of several soldiers were dissatisfied and angry. They tilted their heads and squinted their eyes. One of them asked in a loud voice: "Didn't you see that the military master is here?"
The family of four was trembling with fear. The two adults took the two children and knelt down together. They said in a trembling voice: "I've seen... I've seen the military master!"
The soldier who spoke hummed and glanced at the family of four. He was quite disappointed when he saw that they were dressed in shabby clothes and had nothing to wear.
Just as he was about to turn around and walk away, another soldier said with an amused smile: "Young lady, you're quite pretty!"
After hearing his words, the eyes of the other soldiers all fell on the woman.
She is only in her early twenties, and her face seems to have been deliberately smeared with dirt, making it black and white, but if you look closely, you can still see that she has fair skin and a beautiful face.
The soldier with a wicked smile walked up to the woman, reached out and pinched her chin, raised her little face, and asked with a smile: "How old is the little lady?"
The man looked on, his face turned pale, he kowtowed repeatedly, and said urgently: "Master, spare your life! Master, spare your life..."
"Fuck you!" Before the man could finish his words, the soldier had already raised his leg and kicked the man out.
Immediately afterwards, he grabbed the woman's clothes, pulled her up from the ground, and then dragged her towards the alley on the street. At the same time, he sneered: "What are you family doing wandering around in the city? Could it be the county government?"
Please do it carefully, the military master will have to search your bodies carefully!"
The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she repeatedly begged for mercy: "Master Jun, this little girl is not a spy, she is not..."
Liu Xiu, who was walking this way, couldn't stand it anymore, so he urged his horse to rush over. When the people arrived, the horse's whip was also whipped.
A snapping sound was heard in the helix of the ear, and the horse whip was struck firmly on the back of the soldier, causing him to scream strangely and jump up high from the ground.
"Fuck your ancestors..." As he spoke, he let go of the woman, turned around, and looked up. Before he could see Liu Xiu clearly, the second whip had already hit him directly in the face.
The soldier screamed and fell to the ground on his back. He covered his face with his hands and rolled around on the ground in pain.
Liu Xiu didn't stop, he picked up the whip and whipped the other soldiers head and face.
None of these soldiers recognized Liu Xiu. They wanted to fight back, but they couldn't find a chance to fight back. Each of them was knocked to the ground, holding their heads tightly with both hands, and their buttocks were raised very high.
When the family of four saw this, they were so frightened that they retreated to the street, hugged each other, and formed a trembling ball.
A soldier suddenly took off the crossbow arrow hanging from his waist. Seeing this, Fu Jun, who was not far away, flashed a cold light in his eyes. He twisted his bow and set an arrow, preparing to shoot the soldier.
However, after the soldier took off the crossbow arrow, he did not aim at Liu Xiu, but shot an arrow into the sky.
Chirp——
The arrow flew into the sky and made a sharp whistle at the same time. This was the sounding arrow that conveyed the signal.
As the arrows rose into the sky, there was movement around them immediately. The sound of rumbles and messy footsteps could be heard from the alleys and alleys on both sides of the street, as well as from the streets and ends of the streets. It didn't take long before a large number of Chung Ling troops poured in.
A street.
Liu Xiu sat on the horse and looked around, okay? In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people poured out of the street, each of them holding a spear, or carrying a saber or sword, their eyes widened with murderous intent.
Teng Teng, as if he wanted to eat people.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu also stopped cracking his whip and sat on the horse expressionlessly. Several soldiers who were beaten all over the body slowly put down their hands and felt that the other party stopped whipping. They helped each other and stood up, first to the soldiers.
Looking around, they saw more than a hundred of their fellow brethren coming. They immediately became bolder. Several of them pointed their fingers at Liu Xiu and shouted loudly: "The reckless thief Yu Dang! He is a reckless man."
There is still a thief in the party, take this thief down quickly!"
None of them knew Liu Xiu, but among the Chungling soldiers who ran out, some recognized Liu Xiu. Seeing these soldiers dared to point at Liu Xiu's nose and call him a fellow traitor, people
Grinning secretly.
Some soldiers rushed forward in a hurry, knelt down on one knee around Liu Xiu, respectfully stepped in and saluted, and said in unison: "The villain pays homage to the partial general!"
Hearing the word "Pian General", the soldiers pointing at Liu Xiu were dumbfounded. They stared at him blankly and couldn't recover for a while. The kind-hearted soldiers turned around and reminded in a low voice: "After meeting General Liu, why don't you come back?"
Don’t you want to salute quickly?”
General Liu! General Pian! All these soldiers reacted at once, and a person's name flashed in their minds, Liu Xiu!
Several soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they all knelt on their knees, kowtowed forward, hit their heads on the ground with a bang, and said repeatedly: "General, spare your life! General, spare your life!"
Liu Xiu ignored the others, his eyes fell on the soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "Robbing a civilian girl in broad daylight, do you know what the crime is?"
The soldiers were so frightened that they were sweating profusely. They put their heads on the ground and did not even dare to raise their heads. Their bodies were trembling and shaking.
Just at this moment, loud laughter came from the street, and then someone said loudly: "Axiu, you are finally back, why didn't you say hello in advance so that we could go out of the city to greet you!"
Liu Xiu looked for the reputation and saw Liu Ji, Liu Jia and Deng Feng walking out of a restaurant not far away.
The three of them were all flushed with alcohol. When they saw Liu Xiu, they walked over quickly with big mouths and smiles on their faces.
Seeing the three of them, Liu Xiu was also happy. He raised his hands on his horse and said, "Brother Ji, Brother Jia, Brother Yuanzhi!"
The three of them walked up to Liu Xiu and greeted him with their hands in hand.
Seeing the black horse under his crotch clearly, the three people's eyes lit up at the same time, especially Liu Ji's eyes almost glowed green. He walked closer, patted the horse's back, and stroked the horse's neck. He couldn't help but
He praised: "What a handsome war horse!"
They all knew that Liu Xiu had captured a fine BMW horse in Chaoyang, but they had never seen it with their own eyes. This was the first time they saw Wu Zui with their own eyes.
"As majestic as a mountain, as fast as the wind, thousands of troops and horses can hardly find him! What a black horse!"
As a military general, who doesn't love BMW? Let alone the world-famous Wuzui. Liu Ji walked around Wuzui three times in a row, looking at it here and there, touching it here and there. He just couldn't put it down.
Liu Jia and Deng Feng also like it, but no matter how much they like it, it belongs to Liu Xiu and has nothing to do with them. They can only look at it with greed.
Deng Feng turned his eyes and looked at the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground with many blood marks all over their bodies. He asked in confusion: "Uncle Wen, who are these brothers?"
"You were trying to rob a civilian girl on the street, but I caught you and you got it!" Liu Xiu's face darkened again when he mentioned these daring soldiers.
When Deng Feng heard this, he frowned, kicked each of the kneeling soldiers, and shouted: "You idiots! Are you going to take advantage of military regulations and disciplines?"
Several soldiers were kicked to the ground, and then they knelt down from the ground again. Their foreheads continued to be pressed against the ground, and they did not dare to move.
Deng Feng smiled at Liu Xiu and said: "Uncle Wen, they are all brothers in our department. Considering that this is the first time they have committed an offense, let's bypass them this time!"
"We must not encourage violations of discipline! Each person should be whipped a hundred times to serve as a warning to others!"
Hearing this, Liu Ji, who was wandering around Wu Zui, stopped and turned around and said, "Axiu, it's not easy for the brothers in our unit. You followed Yuan Zhi and I and fought fiercely outside Xinye City for more than a month. As long as you survive,
Which of the brothers who came down did not crawl out from the pile of dead people? If you just robbed a civilian girl and failed, you should be whipped a hundred times. Isn’t it too harsh?!"
