Chapter 304: The End
The death of Temujin became a turning point in the battle.
The commander was killed, and the three armies could continue to maintain high combat effectiveness, which has never been seen in the past.
After Temujin fell from his horse, the Chinese army of the Qiyan tribe began to panic. Mu Huali held back tears, took the baton, and ordered the soldiers of the whole army to avenge the Great Khan.
Seeing that the military spirit was about to collapse, it was reunited under the leadership of Mu Huali. Wan Yankang couldn't hide his admiration for this person in his heart, he suppressed the idea of charging into battle again, and shouted to the place where Mu Huali was: "Mu Huali, surrender and avoid death!" ”
Mu Huali roared angrily: "After killing Yan Kang, avenge the Great Khan!" ”
As the saying goes, the mourning soldier will win.
The Chinese army of the Qiyan Division, inspired by Mu Huali, rose up and was able to defend and attack for a while.
Wan Yankang was not in a hurry at this time, commanded his soldiers to stabilize the formation, and then shouted from time to time: "Surrender and avoid death!" ”
The soldiers of White Horse City knew that victory was in hand, and they couldn't stop shouting: "Surrender and die!" Surrender or die! ”
The Chinese army was temporarily commanded by Mu Huali, and there were thousands of cowardly Xue troops fighting bravely to stabilize their morale, but the left and right armies were affected by the bad news of Temujin's death, and the morale of the army gradually weakened.
Mu Huali looked solemn, took out a rocket from Temujin's arms, and released it into the sky.
Wan Yankang saw Mu Huali release the rocket, and knew that he must have notified the reinforcements to come, so he also turned around and shouted: "Juezhi, Juehui, prepare to fight!" ”
After a stick of incense, Temujin's rear hand, 3,000 cowardly Xue troops, came from the north and prepared to attack the camp of the White Horse City army.
Juezhi and Juehui, who had been prepared for a long time, had already led their troops to line up and volley head-on when they discovered the 3,000 cowardly Xue army.
It was also difficult for the back hand to play a role, and Mu Huali knew that this battle was difficult to win, so he secretly ordered Temujin's body to be taken away first.
The art of war is cloudy, one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion. The officers and men of the Chinese army of the Qiyan Department attacked the place where Yan Kang was located several times, but after all of them were in vain, their offensive gradually weakened.
The front between the two armies slowly but surely pressed towards the side of the beggars.
Wan Yankang sat upright on his horse, no longer at the forefront of the battle formation, but let the warriors under his command rush to kill the enemy.
First, he knew that the battle was already in his hands. Second, Ouyang Feng was hiding in the army of the Qiyan Army, and he didn't know when he would show his fangs again.
With the "Surrender or Die!" The shouts continued to sound, and the two armies on the left and right of the Qiyan Department could not support it. A centurion of the left army was the first to drop his scimitar and kneel on the ground with his hands raised, while deserters began to appear in the right army.
On the battlefield, once there are surrenderers or deserters, if the commander deals with them in time and kills them to set an example, he can still stop the decline. But at this moment, everyone knows that Temujin is dead, and from top to bottom, there is a lot of panic in the hearts of the people, and there are a few people who can stabilize the morale of the army like Mu Huali.
The appearance of surrenders and deserters, like a pathogen, quickly spread on the battlefield.
A quarter of an hour later, the left and right armies of the Qiyan Division were completely dispersed, and only the Chinese army was still struggling to support.
With the two armies of White Horse City joining the battle group, Mu Huali knew that the general trend had gone!
"Wan Yankang, if I surrender, can you keep your promise and spare the lives of our soldiers?" Muhua Rice immediately stepped forward, ten steps away from Yan Kang, and shouted loudly.
"I promised Guo Jing before, after the end of this battle, except for Temujin, I can spare the lives of others!" Wanyan Kang stood on his horse and replied categorically.
"Good! Good! Good! You are a big hero, and you will not break your word! Looking at Yan Kang's young face, Mu Huali suddenly remembered the moment when he and Tie Mu really met more than 20 years ago.
"The soldiers of the Qiyan Department obey the order, and I, Mu Huali, order you, to put down your weapons and surrender on the spot!"
Mu Huali shouted, and after his words spread, many soldiers of the Qiyan Department began to put down their swords and guns, kneeling and raising their hands.
The men and horses of White Horse City began to collect the weapons of the surrendered soldiers, and no longer caused damage.
Mu Huali saw that Yan Kang was able to descend according to Yona, his face was relieved, and then he shouted: "Great Khan, I'm here!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Mu Huali raised his scimitar and cut his neck.
"General!"
The soldiers of the Chinese army of the Qiyan Department approached Mu Huali, and they all shouted and cried bitterly.
More than a dozen personal soldiers under Mu Huali's command also raised their knives to kill themselves after kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Mu Huali's corpse several times.
In the cowardly Xue army, there were also hundreds of people who raised their swords and killed themselves.
"Prairie heroes, how many!" Wan Yankang let out a sigh.
As the cry spread, although the three thousand cowardly Xue army as the rear hand had an advantage in the battle situation, they could not win a big victory in a short time, and the leading Chagatai knew that the general trend had gone, he took a deep look at this place, and then ordered the withdrawal of the army.
Juezhi Juehui's men were seriously wounded, and when they saw that the enemy army was about to retreat at this moment, they all held back their strength to bite this cowardly Xue army.
After Yan Kang looked at the six roads, he found the battle situation here, and some cavalry support was sent forward to crush the only remaining resistance force. But the surrender of the Chinese army has just begun, and the people in the beggar department are emotionally unstable.
After thinking for a while, Wan Yankang still ordered Xiao Baili to lead a battalion of soldiers and horses to reinforce Juezhi Juehui, while he continued to sit in the Chinese army and command the surrender work.
Chagatai saw that the White Horse City side sent reinforcements to help in the battle, so he had to order a commander under his command to lead his troops to the queen of the palace, and follow the example of the gecko to break its tail to survive.
From the beginning of the battle between the two sides to the moment when the dust has basically settled, less than two hours have passed, but the tragic situation of the battle is really terrifying.
Of the more than 20,000 cavalry in White Horse City, more than 5,000 were killed, and more than half of the rest were wounded. Not long after the old hatred under the White Horse City ended, a new hatred was added at this moment. Some soldiers in White Horse City, when they surrendered, their hatred and anger in their hearts could not be eliminated, and they couldn't help but kick and insult the soldiers of the Qiyan Division.
Heleben was a herdsman of a small tribe, and he was forced to enter White Horse City last year, and with his bravery, he was beheaded more than ten times, and he was promoted to platoon commander. In the past year, the Heled family was all lost on the way. As far as he is concerned, the people of the beggar tribe are all enemies who do not share the sky.
Looking at the rows of kneeling soldiers, Helie kicked and punched, and from time to time let out all kinds of insults.
A centurion named Erli of the beggar tribe was kicked and beaten by Hele, and listened to his various scoldings, and the fear in his chest gradually disappeared, and anger grew.
"Dog mongrel, the whole clan should be enslaved!"
After listening to Hele's scolding again, Erli suddenly burst out, punched Helie in the stomach, and then snatched the scimitar from his waist.
Heled was punched and bent over, and then he found himself strangled by the neck, and a bright scimitar was still hanging around his neck. He subconsciously struggled, but his neck was immediately cut open.
"If you dare to move, it will kill you!"
The soldiers who surrendered in the White Horse City, and the few closest to Hele, rushed to the rescue. And the surrounding warriors were also alert, drew their scimitars in their hands, and prepared to kill those who made any more abnormal movements on the spot.
Driven by Erli, many of the surrounding troops surrendered, and many of them touched the weapons thrown on the ground and were ready to move.
Wan Yankang sat on the horse, watching and listening to all directions, and at this time he realized that something was wrong, he immediately jumped up from the horse, and rushed to the place where the accident occurred in a few breaths.
"Put the knife down!" Wan Yankang looked at the centurion of the beggar department, and his tone was solemn.
Erli saw that Yan Kang was here, his body couldn't help but tremble a little, when he was fighting, his position was not too far from the place where the begging Yan Ministry of Khan Banner was, and he had a full view of Yan Kang's invincible posture of charging into battle.
Erli trembled a few times, thinking that he was only afraid that he would not be able to escape death, so it was better to cut this guy's neck with a knife. His heart is horizontal, his body is certain, and he has to exert force in his hands, but he might as well move the scimitar in his hand, as if it has taken root.
He looked up and saw that Wan Yankang had already approached him, stretching out two fingers to grip the blade. After looking at Yan Kang's eyes, Er Li only felt that most of his strength had been lost, and the hand that strangled Helie's neck did not let go.
Hele escaped death and found that it was the big handsome who came to him, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he got out from under Erli's arm to see, and greeted Erli in the lower abdomen with a backhand.
Helead was halfway through this punch, and suddenly he felt that his body was lifted up, and his fist fell into the air.
"Get on your knees!"
With Wan Yankang's scolding, Helie was thrown to the ground.
"Say, what's going on?" Wan Yankang moved his fingers, took his scimitar back, and then began to ask questions.
Erli had originally planned to lead the death, but at this moment, seeing Wanyan Kang's attitude towards Helie, he was blessed for a while, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and shouted a few times: "Tengger, Tengger!" ”
Then he went through the causes and consequences of his own violent knife grabbing just now.
After hearing this, Yan Kang turned his head and asked Hele, who was kneeling beside him, "Is that so?" ”
Helie lowered his head and replied sullenly: "That's right! After saying that, he touched his neck, which was still bleeding, and glared at Erli with hatred in his eyes.
Wan Yankang asked again: "Have you won this battle?" ”
Hele was slightly excited: "Qiyu Dashuai, I will behead the third level!" ”
Wan Yankang summoned the military judge of Hele's company, and then said: "Hele's achievements in this battle are cleared, and he will be punished with twenty lashes!" ”
The military judge received the order, Helie raised his head, and said in a choked voice: "Marshal, I don't accept it!" ”
Wan Yankang glared at him: "You memorize the eight quotations in Mongolian!" ”
Hele was stunned for a moment, and then began to recite the quotations of the big handsome:
1. The brothers of the Jin, Han and Mongolian ethnic groups are all one family;
2. Obey the command in all actions;
3. Don't take a stitch from the people;
4. All seizures must be returned to the public;
5. Do not mistreat prisoners;
6. Get promoted and get rich, and take credit in exchange;
7. A good system is combat effectiveness and productivity;
8. Military law is supreme, laws must be followed, and law enforcement must be strict.
When he recited the fifth point, and did not mistreat the prisoners, Hele's voice was noticeably lowered, and he clearly realized his mistake.
And Erli and the soldiers of the beggar tribe around him, listening to it, they didn't realize that their eyes lit up.
After reading the eight quotations, Helie said, "Do you know what is wrong!" ”
Hele lowered his head and said in a low voice, "The villain knows his mistakes. ”
"Execution!"
With Wan Yankang's order, the military judge on the side began to wave his horsewhip and whipped it on Hele's back.
After Helie received twenty lashes, Wan Yankang said to Erli again: "Although Helie is at fault in this matter, but as a prisoner, you must not be punished and receive twenty lashes!" ”
Erli kowtowed again and again, thanked Yan Kang for not killing, and then fell to the ground, willingly receiving the punishment.
The military judge then raised his whip and whipped it again.
The result of the handling of this matter was ordered by Wan Yankang to spread.
For the soldiers of White Horse City, with the experience of Helie, they treated the prisoners in a regular manner, and no longer beat and scolded them at will, for fear that they would lose their rare military exploits because of a moment of refreshment.
The soldiers of the Qiyan Department were also greatly relieved, Erli's move was undoubtedly dead, but as a result, they were all spared, and there was no need to worry about killing prisoners.
