For the official army, anyone who is in the Shun Army is a ruthless man and a traitor who can be killed, so the official army will be beheaded and executed without mercy, except for the surrender of the prisoners of Shun Army, the rest of the result is to be mercilessly beheaded and executed, or even more cruel means.

As for the wealthy families in various places due to the destruction of the refugee army, especially the recent torture of the money, many wealthy families who thought they were safe and sound were also defeated, and the armed militia formed by these people as the backbone. The Ming army is really as deep as the sea. If the Ming army is defeated by the Shun army, the generals and soldiers often receive similar official treatment in the Shun army if they surrender. However, when these armed militias meet with the Shun army, they often remain unrest.

Perhaps these militia may not be very combative, nor are they as well-trained as officers and soldiers, but because of their hatred with the migrant army, they always fight to the death and refuse to surrender.

Because of this fighting will. At present, the most troublesome thing about the Shun Army is not the officers and soldiers, and they are all focusing on these armed militia groups. But when the officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed militia troops, they often couldn't enter the militia because the militia troops stayed in the mountains with dangerous terrain and could not enter the militia. These armed militia groups built camps and protected themselves in dangerous places in the mountains. The Shun Army also faced the same problem, not to mention that the backbone forces had to face foreign enemies at all times, and the garrison troops were unable to do anything about it.

The two sides have such deep hatred. It is conceivable that these armed militias are treated with the women, children, and young and old of the Shun Army. The new Luoyang general Niu Chenghu was formed by the armed militias of various prefectures in Henan. They hated the Shun Army and showed no mercy at all.

Therefore, when the general Hou Xun heard Qiu Zitao surrender, the women, children, young and old camps in Shunjun were all placed in the Tang County area. The general Hou Xun had an idea. If all these thieves who were abducted by the rebels were killed, it would definitely greatly damage the morale of the thieves and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent battle.

From Ruzhou to Tang County, you have to pass through the area controlled by the Shun Army. Who will be sent? The four generals are the main forces of the battle, so of course they cannot be used easily. This Niu Chenghu tribe with deep hatred is naturally the best choice.

The sun was already setting, and there were laughter and joy everywhere in Tang County. The family of Shun Army was not unaware of the victory of the commander Hou Xun, but they scoffed, believing that as long as the various troops from the Shun Army gathered, these seemingly arrogant Ming troops would be wiped out immediately.

Although it was getting darker, children could still be seen chasing and running on the streets, which seemed extremely happy. In the county town of Tang County, the festive atmosphere on the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival was very strong, and the elders of these children also relaxed their constraints on the children. It is rare for a few days of peace, so the children can just play.

Tang County is not big, and the children who are used to wildness seem to be unable to accommodate them in the city. It is not dark yet, and the low mountains, trees and small rivers outside the city are more attractive to them.

Several soldiers leaning against the city gate were shouting, asking these crazy children nearby to return to the city soon. It was getting dark and the city gate was about to be closed. The soldiers guarding the city gate were also shouting with a smile, without any stern intention.

The parents of these children are all nobles of Shunjun. The soldiers guarding the city gate were not easy to say anything, so they had to smile and urge them to drive the children into the city. The children were reluctant to go, and walked backwards towards the city. The soldiers behind seemed to drive the chickens back to their nests were both angry and funny. Suddenly, a little boy who fell on the back said timidly:

"Uncle Zhang, is there anyone on the other side of the mountain?"

At this time, the adults had already entered the city. Who would have anyone? The soldier named Uncle Zhang turned his head and looked over. Under the reflection of the sunset, the hill opposite the city gate seemed to suddenly be taller. Uncle Zhang was a little confused and rubbed his eyes.

But he saw the tall part moving, and the ground also trembled. The soldier named Zhang had never been to the battlefield and was old, so he was arranged to guard the gate here. He understood what was going on in front of him, but his throat seemed to be caught by fear and could not even shout.

The children didn't know what was going on, and they turned their heads one after another. Many children thought it was the return of their father and uncle's cavalry, and clapped their hands and laughed.

The brigade of cavalry did not stop or avoid these laughing children, and they trampled over them directly. The children's shouts were soon covered by the panic in the city.

The moon is bright and the night is clear, but the town of Tang County that night has become a hell on earth...

Several lucky people escaped the massacre. On August 16th, Li Zicheng, the king of rebellion in Xiangcheng, and a group of generals received news from Tang County. The camp was crying and swearing to kill the troops led by the commander Hou Xun...
