Chapter 195 Killing at the right time

Lu Qiang did not go far. He killed Tie Zhan and released a lot of bruts in his heart. As he walked, he was calculating how to fight this battle. When he was about to order the camp, a soldier called him.

"Your Majesty, look, Xunyang is on fire"

Since Lu Qiang said his identity when he sacrificed to the sky outside Jiangling City, Lu Qiang has been called by His Majesty, regardless of the military and civilian.

Lu Qiang, who was meditating, suddenly looked back and saw the thick smoke rising into the sky, and immediately understood that the northern army in the city was going to escape.

"The whole army is on horse, take me to the dock to rob and kill them"

The tall wall is like a hard turtle shell, which makes the road powerful, but now they take the initiative to give up the strong city, which is no wonder.

As early as when he attacked Xunyang, Lu Qiang had a detailed understanding of the map near Xunyang and knew where to get to the dock as soon as possible.

The 5,000 most elite iron riders in Jingzhou, under the command of Lu Qiang, are simply like arms and fingers, with an abnormal tacit understanding. After receiving the order, he immediately threw away the heavy weight in his hand and turned over the horse, and then followed Lu Qiang to the dock.

At this time, Fan Cheng did not know that he had made the most deadly mistake. He had jumped on the warship first with the bodyguard and was preparing to order someone to pull the anchor and set sail. Suddenly, someone behind him exclaimed.

"Ah... Come on, look, Jingzhou warship!"

Fan Cheng's shock is not small. What he fears most is the Jingzhou Marine Division. After all, Lu Qiang's cavalry can't go into the water even if they are strong.

turned his head and flashed his eyes, and as far as his eyes could see, a heart suddenly sank.

At this time, it was just after noon, and the sun was shining, but I saw thousands of sails on the wide river, densely arranged on the river, coming down the river, and there was no end at a glance, and I didn't know how many sailors there were.

And of course, the most eye-catching is the Panther battle flag flying high in the wind on the largest warship in the front.

After receiving the order, Jiang Dalong gathered the water army and went down the river. Finally, when the last batch of Beifu army was about to cross the river.

Jiang Dalong stood on the roof of the boat and saw the soldiers waiting to pedal the boat on the dock from afar. The soaring fire in Xunyang City also showed what they had just done.

Far away, the dust in the sky rolled and galloped towards the dock like a dragon.

Although he still can't see what is in the dust, Jiang Dalong knows that it must be a Jingzhou iron horse, otherwise it is impossible to make such a loud momentum.

At present, without hesitation, the flag was launched, and the warship was divided into two. A Beifu sailor, who was ready to attack Jiangbei, personally led the warship to rush to the south bank of the Yangtze River.

When I saw the Beifu navy in Jiangbei from afar, the Jingzhou navy was ready to attack. With the popularity of long-range attack weapons such as catapults, the catapults on warships are smaller and have a longer range.

Although the stones launched are much smaller, they can't stand it! After the dense stone rain, it is a fireball.

For more than a year, the Beifu navy has learned the lesson of the last defeat and vigorously developed long-range attack weapons on warships. However, it started late, and the degree of attention is far less than that of Lu.

Therefore, although the Beifu navy also began to fight back, it had little effect, and the number of their warships was far less than Lu Qiang's attack by most of the Jingzhou navy this time.

As more and more Jingzhou warships joined the battle, the Jiangbei Beifu naval army camp soon fell into a sea of fire, and the uninjured sailors hurriedly fled ashore.

Jiang Dalong's fleet did not launch a stone or crossbow at all, but rushed directly to the Beifu warship with high armor.

Jiang Dalong's handsome ship is surrounded by iron armor, and there are high shields on both sides of the side of the ship. Ordinary bows and crossbows can't shoot in at all.

With the rush of Jingzhou warships, several of the first warships were directly knocked off, and those soldiers who fell into the water were shot to death by the Jingzhou water military arrows on the ship.

Lu Qiang has made a harsh word. He must kill all the Beifu army that participated in the massacre of Xunyang's army and civilians, leaving no prisoner.

Fan Cheng reacted quickly, but when he received Jingzhou's iron horse, he couldn't even cry. There was a river in front of him blocking the road, and then there were cavalry chasing him. Is his 10,000 troops enough for others to kill?

Looking at the rolling Jingzhou iron horse, Fan Cheng ordered people to raise a white flag and surrender to Lu Qiang.

Under the leadership of Lu Qiang, 5,000 iron riders, like a steel cone, ignored the Beifu soldiers who came with white flags and directly killed them like a chaotic army.

Five thousand iron riders against 10,000 army-minded infantry, fools can think of the consequences.

The iron horse rolled and ploughed a bloody road directly among the soldiers. Countless Beifu soldiers wailed in pain under the iron hoofs and flew around with broken limbs and arms all over the sky.

In this case, who can rise to resist? After the team was dispersed, some soldiers began to flee, and the soldiers who fled could not be chased and killed by the cavalry.

The Jingzhou sailors on the surface of the river lined up on the river and shot the Beifu army who tried to jump into the water to escape.

At this time, the south bank of the Yangtze River was like a slaughter factory, which really responded to the words that the corpses were all over the field and blood flowed into rivers.

Lu Qiangma rushed to Fan Cheng in a blink of an eye. Fan Cheng's bodyguard shouted and fled, exposing Fan Cheng alone in front of Lu Qiangma.

"Lu, you don't call it a hero. Our army has surrendered. Why do you still slaughter it?"

Fan Cheng's hand holding the knife couldn't help trembling, and he didn't have the courage to do it at all.

Lu Qiang strangled the red rabbit horse, looked at Fan Cheng coldly, and said, "You will know if you ask those innocent Xunyang soldiers and civilians who died tragically underground."

The aliens of the Han people are hateful, and the Han people who regard their compatriots as grass mustard are more hateful.

If Lu Qiang didn't talk nonsense with him, Fang Tianji stabbed out and penetrated Fan Cheng's chest, who had just figured out why Lu Qiang hated them so much, and the last sentence Fan Cheng heard before swallowing was Lu Qiang's fierce roar.

"For Xunyang's father and brother who died for us, kill one and leave no one"

Meng Huaiyu retreated to a safe place at this time, and the Jingzhou navy did not go ashore to chase them. Looking at the hellish killing on the other side of the river, he couldn't help sighing.

In the past, I only heard that Lu Qiang was the most kind to Han people, but I couldn't see his gentle side in this battle, which showed how deep the resentment was in his heart. I hope that after this battle, the anger in his chest can be calmed, otherwise I don't know how many Beifu soldiers will suffer?

This massacre did not gradually stop until sunset. It was really according to Lu Qiang's instructions. There was no one left, and at this time, the fire in Xunyang City was almost over.

The big city, which used to be more than 100,000 people, now has no three, and most of them are women and children. They are burned by the fire, and I don't know how many people died in the sea of fire.

When Lu Qiang led people into the city, some dull-faced people could be seen in the empty place. The city under the sunset seemed to be a dead city, which made people feel embarrassed.

The remaining people were almost like walking corpses, staring at the Jingzhou army who rescued them, without a trace of gratitude or emotional fluctuations in their eyes.

Seeing this situation, the Jingzhou army's heart was sour from top to bottom.

Lu Qiang immediately ordered Jiang Dalong's water army to go ashore and participate in the rescue. The first thing was to build a tent for these homeless people to live, and then prepare food for them.

Lu Qiang knows that this kind of injury cannot be healed in a day and a half. At the same time, the troops behind the order accelerated, and Xunyang was so badly damaged that more soldiers were required to help clean up.

Although Liu Yu's people and horses are also gathering, there are navy guards on the river, and there are 20,000 troops in front of Xunyang. I don't think Liu Yu can kill them.

Two days later, the army arrived at Xunyang City and looked at the dilapidated city. Others felt worse, but Yan Yanzhi cried loudly. He used to be a parent here, and it can be said that every part of the city is condensed with his efforts.

When he came to the refugee camp outside the city, Yanzhi, a seven-foot man, never stopped crying, and those people who recovered from God finally opened their hearts and grabbed Yan Yanzhi's sleeves and legs and kept crying.

Few people can watch this scene. Originally, Lu Qiang, an official who was killed too much by the emperor, also kept silent. They had never seen the scene of the chaos, but when they saw that their people had been harmed like this, they all raised their hearts of hatred.

Although the iron war harmed the people in the city, it finally did a good thing, that is, it buried Guoquan.

After finding Guoquan's cemetery, Lu Qiang ordered the tomb to be rebuilt and built according to the specifications of the prince. Guoquan's family was all in Jiangling. This time, his two sons also came with the army. Lu Qiang told them that after giving their father filial piety, the court would appoint them exceptionally, that is, they could be from the army or as officials.

Everyone knows that if he wants to be an official under Lu Qiang, he can't do it without real talent and learning, and it is also the first time since he has promoted meritorious officials in this way.

After the placement of Guoquan's mausoleum, Lu Qiang once again ordered the construction of an ancestral hall, which will be enshrined in the plaque of the fallen soldiers in Xunyang, and sent special personnel to take care of and clean them, so as to enjoy the incense in the four seasons.

In the end, it was the resettlement of the victims, but the number of victims was too large. Many of them were killed together with their families. They could not find their descendants or their specific names at all. At the same time, most of the bodies were thrown into the river by the soldiers of Iron War.

After discussing with Yan Yanzhi, Lu Qiang ordered people to rely on the river outside the city to build a huge tomb, so that future generations can have a place to pay tribute to the villagers who died.

As various work unfolded, the city was also cleaned up with the help of soldiers, and some houses were built.

In the face of the empty city, Lu Qiang issued another order to encourage people from all over the world to move to Xunyang and offer a series of preferential conditions.

Although the conditions are very good, because the war is imminent, nothing can be seen in a short time.

At this time, Liu Yu's army has also arrived in Guangyang, Zhou Anmu's navy has also arrived in Shicheng, and Meng Huaiyu's 20,000 horses have also retreated to Shicheng.

Meng Huaiyu had to retreat. Zhao Lunwen's 20,000 Jingzhou army and plus Lu Qiang's top five thousand iron horses have been killed in Yuzhou. There are not many soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, especially after Lu Qiang's bright identity, many prefectures and counties are looking forward to the wind.

In this way, Zhao Lunwen and Deng Xiang swept through Yuzhou in a short time. If Meng Huaiyu did not leave, they would be surrounded in Xincai County.

Now, more than 100,000 troops led by Lu Qiang are stationed on the front lines of Xunyang and Poyang, and Liu Yu's more than 10 troops are also stationed in Guangyang, 100 miles away from Poyang County.

The war is imminent.
