Chapter 123: Turning Defeat into Victory (Part II)
A million iron horsemen marched mightily in the snow, heading towards the hundred-mile camp.
Ye Wuwu had long been aware that there was a traitor within the Baili army, so he deliberately tried to lure it out.
In order to successfully get rid of the traitor and thwart the arrogance of the aftermath, he asked Li Quan to use the Tiger Talisman to summon the Iron Cavalry and the Yang Family Army as backup.
"Major General, who do you say will be a traitor?"
Zhao Renjie endured the sharp pain from the wound and asked curiously.
After pondering for a while, Ye Wuwu pretended to be mysterious and said: "I didn't expect who this General Wu's Neiying would be?" But don't worry, you'll know in a while." Besides, the news that we were besieged by General Wu and Houchen just now must have reached the Baili camp, and perhaps the rebels have already begun to move. ”
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Zhao Renjie coughed a few times and said weakly, "The last general believes that the major general will be able to successfully resolve this crisis." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body leaned sideways and he fell off the horse's back weakly.
"General Zhao!"
Ye Wuwu was startled, immediately grabbed the horse's head, and ordered the army to stop.
"General Zhao, what's wrong with you?"
He hurriedly helped Zhao Renjie from the snow to his arms and asked with concern.
"Major General, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me......"
Zhao Renjie struggled to say, his face was pale, his lips were purple, and even his voice was a little slurred.
With the experience of martial arts cultivation, Ye Wuwu immediately concluded that Zhao Renjie was a sign of poisoning, thinking that the previous arrow was poisonous.
"It's too careless! After the bumps along the way, the poison must have attacked the heart!" Ye Wuwu thought of this, and immediately became anxious, and ordered again and again, "Come on!
Hearing this, Li Quan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran to the rear of the army with two soldiers with quick legs and feet. It didn't take long for the general to tie up.
"Say, what's the antidote?"
Ye Wuwu glared angrily, and the long sword came out directly on the opponent's head.
"Hahahaha......" General Houchen glanced at Zhao Renjie, who was lying on the ground and dying, and he already knew it in his heart, and couldn't help but smile cruelly, "You beg me! As long as you kneel down and beg me, I will tell you immediately!"
"Trick me on, believe it or not I'll kill you right away!"
Ye Wuwu glared at him, shouted angrily, and the long sword in his hand advanced a few more points.
"Threaten me?" General Houchen dismissed, "If you have the ability, kill me! Kill me, your brother will die!"
"Okay!" Ye Wuwu gritted his teeth, put the long sword back into the sheath, fell to his knees with a pop, bowed his head and arched his hand, "I beg you to tell me the antidote!"
"Major General!"
All the soldiers present were stunned, but they didn't expect Ye Wuwu to really be willing to kneel for the enemy.
"Young General, don't be like this, get up quickly!
Zhao Renjie coughed violently and tried to get up from the ground, but the poison was too deep, and his body became soft and weak.
"You're my brother!
Ye Wuwu said firmly, his eyes always staring at the distorted face of the Houchen general.
"Hehe, what a brotherly relationship! But is this your attitude of begging for people? Who do you show the fierce god to the evil face?"
The footsteps of the generals are arrogant and more and more unscrupulous.
"Presumptuous!"
Li Quan couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled out his sword and was about to cut it down.
"Stop!"
Ye Wuwu roared angrily, and his voice clearly reached everyone's ears.
"Young General, why are you so suffering, why are you willing to suffer such humiliation?"
Li Quan was indignant, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly groped around the body of the general, trying to find an antidote.
"Don't bother, the antidote is not on me!"
General Houchen glared at Li Quan, the corners of his mouth rose, and he was very arrogant.
"What the hell do you want from me?"
Ye Wuwu suppressed the fire in his heart and said coldly.
"What?" said the general sneeringly, "I can see the dignified general begging me like this, and I will die without regrets, so let's do it! You will kowtow to my grandfather a few more times! I will tell you the antidote!"
"Don't deceive people too much!"
Ye Wuwu clenched his fists tightly, and his body was trembling.
Since he was a child, no matter what kind of difficulties he encountered, he never bowed his head, even God, he never knelt, but now he has to bow down to beg for an enemy.
"It's up to you whether you knock or not, anyway, if you hesitate a little longer, your brother will be one step closer to death. ”
Houchen Da will continue to provoke.
"Major General!
Zhao Renjie shouted, he was already highly poisonous, and when he moved at this time, a mouthful of blood gushed out.
"General Zhao!"
Ye Wuwu's heart was like a knife, and he felt deep powerlessness for the first time.
"Major General, I'm sorry, I can't watch the enemy use me as a bargaining chip to blackmail you, meeting you and the old general is the greatest luck in my life, if there is an afterlife, I want to be a brother with you!"
After that, I saw Zhao Renjie's face ruthless, and as soon as he used his cheeks, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the luster between his eyes instantly dimmed.
"General Zhao!"
Ye Wuwu roared and pounced, only to find that Zhao Renjie had bitten his tongue and committed suicide.
For a while, the entire Iron Cavalry army was shrouded in sadness, the biting cold wind blew across the faces of the soldiers, and the blood in their hearts seemed to have become cold at this moment.
"you!"
Li Quan roared angrily, and with a wave of the sword in his hand, he directly cut off the head of the general in the footsteps.
However, it is useless, people cannot be resurrected after death, but the enemy has not been cleared and the rebellion has not been settled, Ye Wuwu can only endure the grief in his heart, and hastily bury Zhao Renjie in the pine forest on the side, where he can look back at his homeland and also deter the northern frontier.
Zhao Renjie has been fatherless and motherless since he was a child, he should have begged on the street but he was fortunate to meet Baili Changkun, since then, his life trajectory has undergone earth-shaking changes, for the general's mansion and Yeliang set up great achievements, to protect the peace of the people in northern Xinjiang, his life belongs here, belongs to this land that once swore to defend.
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his hand, Ye Wuwu embarked on the journey again. Turning grief and indignation into motivation, only by quelling the war in northern Xinjiang can Zhao Renjie's sacrifice be in vain.
"General Zhao, don't worry! On the day of my triumph, I will build a monument and a mausoleum for you here, so that your fame will be famous for centuries!"
Ye Wuwu looked back unwillingly when he left, and the reins in his hand were trembling as he was gripped......
The army had marched several more miles when a hurried announcement was heard ahead.
"Report!"
I saw a herald with a bloody face rushing over the distant horizon on a tall horse. Li Quan knew at a glance that it was Yang Jiajun's person.
"May I ask who is General Baili?"
The herald asked breathlessly.
"I am!"
Ye Wuwu said in a loud voice, and hurriedly rode his horse to the front of the army.
"Great! General Yang said that I will definitely find you along this road!" the herald said excitedly, "We are being flanked by the main force of Houchen and the Baili rebels, and we also ask General Baili to send reinforcements quickly!"
"Okay, I got it. Ye Wuwu nodded, and then ordered, "The vanguard of the Iron Cavalry Army will quickly follow this herald to relieve the siege of the Yang family's army, and the remaining main force will follow me to break through from the periphery of Gouzi Mountain to form a counter-encirclement and wipe out the enemy!"
"Yes!"
Li Quan received the order and immediately took the vanguard and the herald to leave.
Ye Wuwu, on the other hand, turned his horse's head unhurriedly and led the army to drive straight into the mountains in the southwest.
In the end, the Iron Cavalry Army and the Yang Jiajun successfully converged, and Ye Wuwu blocked the enemy's retreat and trapped him in the Fengming Valley behind Gouzi Mountain. General Huang was captured, Mo Yinqiu, the main general of Houchen, killed himself, and the main force of Houchen was annihilated......
"General Huang, I really didn't expect it to be you!
Ye Wuwu escorted him over for interrogation.
"Why? Hahaha......" General Huang had blood stains on the corner of his mouth, spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and the expression on his old face was indignant, "Emperor Yeliang Dog has implemented tyranny, and has repeatedly fought wars, and has repeatedly levied excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people are miserable! If you can get rid of it by the hand of the aftermath, why not! You have the military power in your hands and are willing to be the lackey of Emperor Yeliang, but the old man is not reconciled! Today's battle seems to be a loss for me, but it is you who are defeated!"
"Hehehe......" Ye Wuwu was expressionless, sneered, and couldn't help sighing, "General Huang, I thought you were a person who could take on great responsibilities, but unfortunately, I was wrong, you will have to pay a terrible price for your stupid behavior after all!"
