Chapter 1426: Extermination
Wu Sangui's army retreated out of the valley. Outside the valley was a large plain where he could exert the maximum power of his cavalry. He didn't believe that those people pushing shield carts could run faster than his horses.
As long as the troops are dispersed, the lethality of the artillery will be greatly reduced. At that time, he will be able to kill these rebels with the help of his men.
"When the time comes, these artillery pieces will be mine."
Wu Sangui thought to himself.
Just as the troops arrived at the valley entrance, a huge explosion suddenly sounded.
The explosion was as steady as thunder, almost deafening people's ears.
A small mushroom cloud rose at the mouth of the valley, with smoke and dust rising hundreds of meters high and dirt flying everywhere.
As for the body, it had disappeared, having been vaporized by the bomb.
A huge deep pit appeared on the ground.
More than ten meters deep.
"How much gunpowder did you bury there?"
Han Yu was shocked. He felt the wall of the village shook just now.
"I was afraid there wasn't enough, so I put half of the gunpowder I produced in there."
Mu Tianbo said.
"half……"
Han Yu didn't know what to say.
This is no longer a question of whether it is enough or not. If I had known that Mu Tianbo was so willing to do so, it would have been great to just sell them along the way and get rid of all these people directly.
However, the huge explosion still created a hole more than ten meters deep on the road, blocking Wu Sangui's retreat route.
"what happens?"
Wu Sangui urged his horse to go and see what was happening.
But at this time, the shield car had caught up with their team.
One by one, the flying thunder cannons have been set up.
"fire!"
Mu Jiansheng issued an order.
Boom, boom, boom!
A series of flying thunder cannons hit Wu Sangui's troops.
The violent explosion caused Wu Sangui's troops to fall to the ground.
Broken limbs flew everywhere and blood mist floated in the air.
"Charge, charge back, only by destroying the shield car can we survive."
When Wu Sangui saw this scene, he knew that he had no way to retreat and the only way to survive was to go back.
The soldiers under his command mustered their strength and rushed towards the shield cart.
However, the grenadiers on top of the shield car had been waiting for them for a long time.
Grenades were thrown one after another.
Although these grenades are made using primitive methods, the lethality of porcelain pieces is no less than that of iron pieces.
Especially since tetanus nails , there was no way to survive after being hit, and one could only wait to die in the festering state.
Grenades exploded above everyone's heads like flowers scattered from the sky, and the fragments in the sky directly interrupted the momentum of the soldiers' charge.
Anyone who gets close to the shield wall will be shattered and turned into a corpse.
At one point, the corpses were piled two or three meters high, almost forming a simple city wall.
The soldiers hiding under the corpses just took a breath when they saw several grenadiers grinning and raising their explosive packs and throwing them at them.
Boom!
The explosive packs directly blew up the shield wall formed by corpses, exposing the soldiers to the shooting range again.
Boom, boom.
Violent explosions continued to sound.
The number of soldiers under Wu Sangui was rapidly decreasing, and they turned into corpses amid the shouting.
The shield carts were also constantly advancing, constantly squeezing the soldiers' movement space.
Wu Sangui was also protected by his personal soldiers and came to the side of the deep pit.
"What should we do, Marshal?"
The guards looked at the situation around them and realized that they were at a dead end.
There is an inaccessible shield car in front, a deep pit behind, and cliffs on both sides, making it impossible to pass through.
"At this point, resistance is unquestionable. Surrendering may allow you to survive."
Wu Sangui did not have much thought of fighting to his death.
Otherwise, he would not have kept the bandits in Shanhaiguan, nor would he have surrendered to the Qing court when he saw that it was powerful.
In the end, if the Qing government had not always wanted to get rid of him, he would not have rebelled.
Seeing this desperate situation, he naturally would not think of fighting to the death, but threw away his sword and signaled surrender.
Seeing their commander like this, his personal soldiers no longer had any reason to fight and dropped their weapons one after another.
"Young Master, that bastard has surrendered. What should we do?"
Several grenadiers surrounded Mu Jiansheng.
They all had family members who died under Wu Sangui's iron hoof, and they wished they could eat Wu Sangui's flesh alive.
Now, seeing the enemy in front of me, I wish I could just draw my sword and chop him up.
"Don't rush to do it. Tie him up first and ask His Highness what he thinks."
Mu Jiansheng stopped everyone's thoughts.
In the past few days, Mu Tianbo has been telling him that Zhu Cixuan has the potential to be a heroic leader and may really be able to revive the Ming Dynasty.
As for their family, they are the descendants of the dragon, and their future achievements are limitless.
Therefore, you must obey Zhu Cixuan's orders, because loyalty is what an emperor values most.
Mu Jiansheng followed Mu Tianbo's instructions. Faced with such a major event, he naturally had to ask Han Yu to make the decision.
Wu Sangui was tied up and brought to Han Yu.
"It's you!"
Wu Sangui was shocked when he saw Han Yu.
If he had known that the main general here was Zhu Cixuan, he would never have surrendered.
He had just strangled Emperor Yongli a few days ago and almost hanged him to death. The other party would definitely not let him go.
Thinking of this, Wu Sangui felt extremely regretful.
If I had known earlier, I would have drawn my sword and committed suicide, which would have been a relief.
When Han Yu saw that the person who was captured was Wu Sangui, a smile appeared on his face.
"King Pingxi, what a coincidence, we meet again."
"If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why bother talking?"
Wu Sangui snorted coldly. Since he knew he was going to die, he might as well pretend to be tough.
"Are you so eager to die? Well, I'll grant your wish."
Han Yu turned to Mu Tianbo and said, "Find two of the best leatherworkers to skin this guy and stuff him with straw. Oh, and keep his face intact, as it will be useful to me. Also, keep his armor for me."
Han Yu said.
"Yes, sir!"
Mu Tianbo immediately found a shoemaker and started the execution.
The execution took place in the square in the center of the village.
The execution platform was crowded with villagers.
Most of the people here had family members killed by Wu Sangui, and they hated him with a vengeance.
Now that they have the opportunity to witness Wu Sangui's execution with their own eyes, they are naturally cheering.
"Kill this bastard."
"Kill him, kill him!"
There was a lot of shouting and killing.
The leatherworker was not vague either. He used the knife very quickly and soon peeled off a piece of Wu Sangui's skin. At this time, Wu Sangui was still alive.
The cobbler also had a family member killed by Wu Sangui, and he hated Wu Sangui to the core. When he saw that Wu Sangui was not dead yet, he immediately cut a piece of meat from Wu Sangui's body and put it in his mouth.
Eating its meat raw is nothing more than this.
Seeing the cobbler's action, the people below could no longer sit still.
"Chen Pijiang, you can't eat all the food alone, share some with us."
"For us, too!"
The people around shouted.
Hearing the people below say this, the cobbler took a deep breath, cut strips of meat from Wu Sangui's body, and threw them to the people around him.
The spectators around even started fighting over the meat.
Some of them even rushed directly onto the execution platform to vent their anger, hugged Wu Sangui and started biting him.
In the end, Wu Sangui's bones were divided by everyone, smashed into pieces with hammers, and thrown into the toilet.
