Chapter 137 Burn it to the fullest

Street battles in Kaifeng City have become increasingly fierce.

Although Gao Jie's Ming army had more people and stronger strength, because it could not form a formation in the narrow alley, it could only fight one-on-one with the Qing army's green camp soldiers in most cases.

Because of the determination to die, the Qing army's green camp soldiers burst out with combat power far beyond the normal situation, and because they were in the dark, they could cause considerable trouble to the Ming army.

As time went by, the Ming army began to suffer casualties and gradually grew.

Gao Jie gradually calmed down after casting Huang Sidao into a bronze statue. It was not that he had thought of accepting the surrender of the Green Camp soldiers, but there were too many of these Green Camp soldiers, and his wife, children, and the elderly were under the control of the Tartars. Even if they surrendered due to the situation, they would turn against each other sooner or later.

That's why Gao Jie decided to kill all the Green Camp soldiers in the city without leaving any one.

But now it seems that it is really not easy to complete this task.

There are too many alleys in Kaifeng City, and you can hide it for a long time just by just leaping inside.

If you do not search carefully, it will be difficult to pull out all the green camp soldiers hiding in the alley.

To quickly identify the Green Camp soldiers, it is not enough to rely solely on the 50,000 people under his command, and it must be cooperated by the local people.

After thinking about it, Gao Jie decided to order his soldiers to announce to the people in the city that if there were any green camp soldiers hiding at home, they would report immediately.

Gao Jie knew the virtues of his soldiers, so he made three rules with everyone before the attack and opened the seal. Those who dared to harass the people immediately became executed and refused to forgive him.

Therefore, after the city was broken, the military discipline of Gao Jie's Ming army was still very strict. Although the people were not at a close distance, at least they would not be afraid of soldiers and thieves.

Gao Jie decided to slowly remove these green camp soldiers scattered throughout the city. The most important thing at the moment is to eliminate the remaining main force of Jin Yu and the commander.

The army was closely surrounded by Jinyu and around it, and was not dispersed. Now there are about 5,000 people, and they have retreated to the vicinity of Kaifeng Prefecture School.

They entered the academy and leaned against the high walls and resisted stubbornly.

Gao Jie naturally would not let him go. He personally led 20,000 people to surround the imperial school.

Jin Yuhe retired to the prefectures and was also a bit of brainstorming.

In his opinion, the prefectures are a place of culture and education, and there is also a statue of Confucius. Gao Jie must be afraid of the enemy and dare not act recklessly. Otherwise, he would be charged with insulting Confucius and insulting Confucianism.

But Gao Jie didn't care about this. After the army surrounded the imperial school, he immediately ordered the palace to pour tung oil.

Buckets of tung oil were poured into the school by Ming soldiers across the wall, and the next thing that was thrown into it was the ignited torch.

Gao Jie's purpose is very clear. He wants to burn all the Fu Academy with fire!

It was too late when Jin Yuhe came here. There was only one well in the palace school, and even if he tried hard to draw water, he would not have time to put out the raging fire.

In desperation, he could only order the soldiers to rush out of the palace regardless of everything, intending to fight against the Ming army outside the academy.

Since you are dead from both sides, you must put on a cushion before you die, so that you will not be too lonely on the road to the underworld.

Unfortunately, Gao Jie would not let his wish come true. The gate of the Fuxue School was tightly blocked by several huge rocks and could not be opened.

From the beginning, Gao Jie was not prepared to rush in forcibly.

When Jin Yuhe died, he cursed. He really overestimated Gao Jie's character. This guy actually had no fear of Confucius and Confucianism, so he dared to openly burn the academy!

But he understood too late.

Now the fire has completely lost control, and it is impossible to escape even if you want to climb over the wall.

Seeing the raging fire swallowing the soldiers one by one, Jin Yu and he laughed to the sky and drew their swords across their necks.

Blood spurted out from the wound, Jin Yuhe fell to the ground with a plop, twitching for a moment, and then there was no movement.

......

......

Five thousand Green Camp soldiers were all burned to death in the palace, and almost all the wooden buildings in the academy were burned down.

When Gao Jie ordered the opening of the door of the official school, a burnt smell of burning the corpse came to his nose, which made people disgusting.

Gao Jie ordered the soldiers to conduct a round of searches to ensure that there were no fish that missed the net.

After the five thousand people were solved, the situation in Kaifeng City was basically controlled.

The remaining Qing army green camp soldiers were scattered in the city, and they were easily killed one by one when they fought.

Gao Jie understood the concerns of the people in the city. After all, the Tartars were very powerful in combat, and the Ming army had few victories against the Eight Banners Army. Even if the Ming army defeated the Green Camp Army and took Kaifeng, the people were worried that the Ming army would not be able to gain a foothold.

If the Tatar army returns from Shanxi and takes Kaifeng back, it will inevitably launch a killing against the people who provide help to the Ming army.

So at this time, Gao Jie must express his position with a clear attitude, that is, he will be incompatible with the Tartars and fight to the end.

Only in this way can the people dare to cooperate with the Ming army to uncover all the green camp soldiers hiding in the city.

Gao Jie felt that his attitude had been expressed almost.

One, he cast the Kaifeng prefect appointed by the Tartars into bronze men, and the other, he burned five thousand green camp soldiers to death in the prefectures.

The Ming army did not accept any form of surrender!

This is the case in Kaifeng, and the same is true for Luoyang, Huaiqing and Weihui in the future.

Of course, Gao Jie was not in a hurry to repair the gap in the city wall that was blown up. Because he would continue to advance north, Kaifeng would not leave much troops.

In the first day or two, the people were still cautious about the Ming army. But gradually, some people took the initiative to report the hidden Qing army green camp soldiers to the Ming army.

Gao Jie ordered all of these green camp soldiers to behead them, and their heads were hung on the top of the city for public display, and all the bodies were thrown into mass graves outside the city for buried.

The battle in Kaifeng is just the beginning. But with this successful experience, Gao Jie is more confident in capturing Luoyang and other places.

At present, the Qing army stationed in Henan is the only one left of the Weihui Mansion Green Camp troops led by Zu Kefa. It is only a matter of time before Henan can be pacified.

Gao Jie immediately ordered someone to write a good news and sent it to Nanjing with rush.

No matter what, restoring Kaifeng is a great joy, and His Majesty should know it earlier.

......

......

After Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing fled overnight, they gathered the defeated troops all the way and rushed towards Linqing.

After they gathered the defeated troops, the strength was about 30,000, which was much less than when they first entered Shandong.

What's even more terrifying is that the morale of the army plummeted. Originally, everyone thought that Shandong was just a piece of fat that could be teared at will, but who would have thought that he would be bleeding as soon as he arrived in Jiningzhou.

"Damn it, I'm going to say that there are at least tens of thousands of defenders in Jining Prefecture, otherwise there would be such a big formation when the night attacks and rushes to the camp."

Liu Liangzuo held the reins with one hand, looking dissatisfied.

"What's the use of saying this now? Brother, you should think about what to do next."

The Shence Army burned the soldiers' spirits, and it would be difficult to get the breath up next.
