After dawn, the situation in Blackwater City was completely under control.Etuhui had the casualties counted and reported them to the imperial court word for word.He didn't dare to hide it, he couldn't hide such a big casualty.Although E Tuhui had been prepared, after the final casualty report was brought up, he couldn't help but be shocked.Blackwater City originally had a population of 130,000, but now after counting, only more than 2,000 people survived.Most of these people were hidden in the cellars of their homes, and the others were either burned to death by fire, smoked to death, or hacked to death by Lao Maozi.The city was cold and cold, like a dead city, and there were heart-rending wails everywhere."
Report to Lord Dutong, a total of 3,200 old Maozi were captured in this battle, may I ask what to do with these prisoners" At this time, a junior officer came across the horse, and when he saw Etuhui, he clenched his fists and begged for orders."
All cut off" E Tuhui's eyes didn't blink, and he was holding back the fire in his heart, where would there be any thoughts of preferential treatment for prisoners."
Yes," the junior officer clenched his fists and quickly returned to a clearing in the center of the city.More than 3,000 Cossack cavalrymen were all surrounded by the Protectors, and each of them knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands.They had been completely frightened by the battle, and now they were just praying to God that these Orientals would spare their lives.After the junior officer received the order from E Tuhui, he neighed at his subordinates as soon as he got off the horse, "All have orders, no matter what killing" As soon as the soldiers heard this, they all pulled the bolts of their guns, and the muzzles of their guns were only aimed at the old Maozi in the encirclement."
You can't kill us, God is watching you, you will suffer retribution for killing prisoners indiscriminately", "Bastard, you kill prisoners indiscriminately, our tsar will definitely sweep you away in the future" "Please, don't shoot, let me do anything"""When the old Maozi in the field saw this situation, they exploded one after another, and guessed that they had been sentenced to death."
Brothers, anyway, if you die, fight with the Orientals" "Fight" ""An old man in the field took the lead and rushed forward against the Protector in front.The captives were immediately thrown into confusion and rose to their feet to rush out of the encirclement."
Bang, bang, bang" At this time, the gun array of the Protector Army on the inner and outer three layers also pulled the trigger at the same time.Bullets whizzed out, coming from all directions, weaving into a dense network of fire, leaving no room for the captives to break through."
Poof, poof, poof" bullets hit Lao Maozi's body, splashing bursts of blood.More than 3,000 old hairs were like onion skins, peeled off by bullets layer by layer from the outside to the inside, and finally all lay in the heap of blood.At this time, Etuhui also came with all the generals on horseback, and he was unmoved by the slaughter with cold eyes.The remaining Manchu people in the city also gathered more and more, and they picked up the bricks and tiles on the ground in hatred and threw them at the corpse of Lao Maozi.At this time, a person crawled out of the crowd, and when he saw Etuhui, he shouted in surprise, "Lord Dutong, it can be regarded as looking forward to you" Etuhui fixed his eyes, and the person was embarrassed, and he was blackened by the gunsmoke, and he really couldn't remember who this person was for a while.The man immediately wiped his face, and then his true face was revealed.He is none other than the right-hand capital of Blackwater City.After the war began, as soon as he saw that the situation was not good, he fled back to his palace without permission.When all the young men were killed in battle, he was able to save a life."
You are Bu Shunda" Etuhui's eyes widened, and then he recognized him.One of them is equivalent to the commander of a large military region, and the other is equivalent to the deputy commander of a provincial military district, and their official positions are three or four levels apart.Etuhui has seen him a few times in meetings, and his impression of people has always been bad.It's just that Bu Shunda has a little relationship with Prince Gong, so he got such a high position."
Yes, yes, it's a villain.Lord Dutong, all of this was caused by Sauron, when Lao Maozi attacked, the villain tried his best to persuade Sauron to lead the army to retreat.But Sauron insisted on fighting hard, which caused the current situation.Lord Dutong, you have to tell the court truthfully" Bu Shunda hurriedly shirked his responsibility, such a big casualty, he couldn't afford to pursue it.He didn't know if Sauron was dead or alive, so let's put the blame on him first.Etuhui didn't like him in the first place, but Sauron was a general who came out of the Protector Army, and he belonged to Rong Lu's subordinates with Etuhui.As soon as this Bu Shunda came up, he slandered and planted falsehoods, if he took the initiative to lead people to retreat according to what he said, it would be to lead Lao Maozi's troubles to Hailan Pao City.Lao Maozi is all elite cavalry, and if they leave the city, they will be Lao Maozi's prey in the wilderness.Not only will the whole city be wiped out, but it will also not be able to move Lao Maozi.Persisting in resistance in the city is the smartest choice.Sauron considered this very clearly, even if he died, he had to drag Lao Maozi to die together, and the death was also worth something."
Bu Shunda, this matter will be truthfully reported to the imperial court.However, before the order of the imperial court is issued, you still have to be aggrieved for the time being" A trace of coldness appeared on E Tuhui's face, and in his eyes, Bu Shunda had become a dead man.Apart from him, there is really no young man in the city now.E Tuhui didn't have to think about it to know that he had escaped from the battlefield privately.Now that there is a lack of a scapegoat to take responsibility, this Bushunda is the most appropriate.As soon as E Tuhui's words fell, the two pro-soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward and grabbed Bu Shunda's arm and controlled him."
Lord Dutong, what do you mean by this" Bu Shunda saw that the situation was not right, and quickly widened his eyes in horror.Etuhui sneered, ignored him, and directly led someone to ride past him.The pro-soldiers quickly tied up Bu Shunda strongly, Bu Shunda's heart was broken, and this Tuhui must be using him as a scapegoat.He struggled desperately, hissing at Etuhui's back, "Etuhui, you can't do this.I was hand-picked by Prince Gong himself, you will definitely offend Prince Gong like this" He hissed and struggled a few times, and was soon knocked unconscious by his own soldiers with the butt of his gun, and he lifted his body and threw it on his war horse and took it away.Blackwater City has become a ruin, and there is naturally no value to stay here.Originally, the imperial court meant to prepare to expand the territory to the outside world step by step, but I didn't expect to take only one step, and now it has been beaten back to its original shape.Etuhui asked the remnants of the people to be brought back to Hailan Pao City, and at the same time wrote an urgent military document, which was immediately played to the imperial court.The Qing court moved from the country to this place, and there were more than one million people left.There were as many as 130,000 casualties at this station, and as soon as Etuhui's recital arrived, the whole dynasty shook.The Military Aircraft Department immediately conveyed the excerpt to Cixi, who almost vomited blood without feeling distressed, and hurriedly summoned all the courtiers to the court in anger
