The sound of killing shook the sky! On the top of the city and outside the city wall, people were fighting desperately everywhere. The ground was piled with corpses. A soldier saw Ning Chen, his eyes lit up, as if he saw a large ingot of silver. This person did not have a white cloth tied on his arm, he was an enemy. Because Zhao Bokang's soldiers and generals all wore Daxuan's uniforms. The armor and uniforms of both sides were the same. Ning Chen was afraid that he would not be able to distinguish between the enemy and us on the battlefield... so he asked the soldiers to tie white cloth strips on their arms. Because Daxuan's uniforms were all black, white cloth strips were more conspicuous. The soldier ran over excitedly, grabbed Ning Chen's ears, and prepared to cut off his ears with a knife. On the battlefield, killing an enemy was a military merit, which was one or two taels of silver.
In the past, the heads of the killed enemies would be cut off and then taken back to claim the reward. But later it was found that the waist was full of heads, and the image of fighting... became cutting the right ear. Every soldier had a cloth bag on his waist. After killing an enemy, he would cut off the enemy's right ear. After the war, he would take it back to claim the reward. Of course, there were people who killed innocent people to claim credit. That is, they would secretly cut off the ears of their own people and take them back to claim the reward. What's more, some people would slaughter villages and surrendered people for military merits, and would not spare the old, weak, women and children. Anyway, as long as it was the right ear, they could take it back to claim the reward. There were even more crazy people, that is, cutting off the ears of their own people. This kind of thing was common. Until it angered the previous emperor, he was furious because the number of ears did not match the number of enemy deaths, and he directly killed 30,000 soldiers from top to bottom, killing them all, and even their families were bloodbathed. This kind of thing was curbed. Until now, after reforms again and again, this kind of thing has rarely happened. Because once the number of ears differs from the number of enemy deaths by more than five, not only will there be no credit, but you will be held accountable... a general will be beaten to death. The soldiers of the archery battalion could not fight the enemy in close combat, but each archer would have his own unique mark on his arrow. In the end, by looking at the mark, you can know who shot the enemy? In short, after repeated reforms, killing innocent people for credit has rarely happened. Ning Chen asked the soldiers to tie white cloth strips on their arms, but he forgot to tie it himself. The key is that Ning Chen's face is now covered with blood, and his face is covered with blood. In addition, not all soldiers know Ning Chen, so he was regarded as an enemy by this soldier. In fact, general commanders will wear golden armor, but Ning Chen, a general who was temporarily appointed, has no military token and no suitable golden armor, so he wears the armor of ordinary generals. This soldier regarded Ning Chen as an enemy and happily prepared to take advantage of it, cut off his ear and take it back to claim the reward. Ning Chen was awakened by the pain.
He groaned and suddenly opened his eyes. This scared the soldier who was about to cut off his ear and staggered back. But immediately, his eyes turned fierce, and he slashed at Ning Chen with a knife. Ning Chen was shocked, and rolled over on the ground to avoid the opponent's knife, and then took the opportunity to stand up. Looking at the white cloth on the opponent's arm, Ning Chen was furious. "You are looking for death, dare to attack me?" The soldier held the knife tightly and shouted: "General Ning has an order, surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will be killed without mercy... If you want to live, squat down for me." Ning Chen was stunned, looking at the soldier with a confused face, "Are you blind, don't you know me?" "The traitor who surrendered to the enemy dares to be so arrogant? Give me your life!" The soldier swung the knife and slashed at Ning Chen. Ning Chen was furious and kicked him out. "Dog, I..." Before Ning Chen finished speaking, several enemy soldiers rushed over. Ning Chen picked up the long knife on the ground. I don't know where his knife fell? He picked up a knife at random, and chopped down the enemies who rushed over one by one. When he looked over, the soldier who was about to cut off his ear had disappeared. Damn!!! I'll settle accounts with this bastard later. His sharp eyes scanned the corpses on the ground. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and Ning Chen found Zhao Bokang. Ning Chen rushed over and stabbed Zhao Bokang in the chest. In fact, Zhao Bokang had already died. When the two fell from the city wall, Zhao Bokang's head hit the ground first, his neck was broken directly, and he died on the spot. Ning Chen was lucky and fell on a corpse, saving his life. Ning Chen's eyes were fierce, and he raised his knife and chopped off Zhao Bokang's head. He carried Zhao Bokang's head and killed all the way to the top of the city, shouting: "Zhao Bokang is dead, put down your weapons and surrender, and I will spare your life!" But Ning Chen's voice was drowned in the fighting, and only the nearby soldiers heard it and looked over. They looked at the head in Ning Chen's hand. "Brother, is this really Zhao Bokang's head?"
Ning Chen: "???" "How dare you doubt my words?" "Who are you?" Ning Chen was furious, "You bastard, don't you even know me? I am Ning Chen." "Ning Chen? General Ning?" "You are General Ning?" Ning Chen was a little confused, why didn't these people know him? But he didn't care about these, and shouted: "Shout for me, Zhao Bokang is dead, put down your weapons and surrender, and you will be spared!" The soldiers around began to shout at the top of their voices: "Pass on General Ning's order, Zhao Bokang has been beheaded by General Ning, put down your weapons and surrender, General Ning can spare your lives." The sound was like a tide. First, a dozen people shouted, then hundreds and thousands, and finally tens of thousands of people shouted. The sound of voices rolled across the battlefield. The news that Zhao Bokang was killed spread throughout the battlefield in an instant. The enemy's morale was already low, and now it was even more chaotic. Fortunately, at this time, Qi Yuanzhong led his men to cut off the enemy's battle flag. Seeing the battle flag fall, and hearing the news that Zhao Bokang had been killed, Zhao Bokang's soldiers were completely panicked, and their morale was extremely low. Ning Chen asked someone to find a flagpole, hang Zhao Bokang's head on it, and protected by the people of the flag guard camp, they began to run on the city wall. Seeing Zhao Bokang's head, Zhao Bokang's soldiers had no intention of fighting again. The commander was killed, how can this battle be fought? Most people even secretly rejoiced in their hearts. They were all their own people, they didn't want to fight in the first place, and what's more, they had muskets and things that could blow up a piece of land, so they were destined to lose this battle. There was no way before, but now Zhao Bokang is dead, what's the point of fighting? Moreover, General Ning said that those who surrendered would not be killed. The rebels began to surrender. The entire city wall was filled with the sound of weapons falling to the ground. The people of the flag guard camp were still carrying Zhao Bokang's head. The voice of "those who surrender will not be killed" resounded throughout the battlefield. The war gradually ended.
But there were still a few groups of people who resisted, and they were all Zhao Bokang's personal soldiers. But they were quickly killed and suppressed. Many soldiers had tears in their eyes, they were all Daxuan boys, and it was too uncomfortable to fight with their own people... Among the rebels were their former friends, fellow townsmen, brothers, and even relatives, but now they had to kill each other, and their hearts were bleeding. Finally, there was no need to fight! Some people cheered, some had red eyes, and some cried while holding the corpse.
