Chapter 59: The Righteousness of the Monarch and the Minister

Hu Jian didn't have time to think about it, he raised the command flag and shouted: "Brothers, we have no way out, if we lose this battle, our children and grandchildren will always be slaves to the surname Gaomen, and only after we win can our children and grandchildren turn over and become masters!" The Qin army was already a lot of people, and after Hu Jian's encouragement, they all rushed to kill the enemy first, even if they were cut down by the elite Liang army like cutting melons and vegetables, they still rushed forward like crazy.

Although Chen Hongyi fights like a madman, he has always chased the enemy and cut it, and the enemy can only keep running for his life. It was the first time that an enemy had sent him one after another to cut it, and it turned out that if people cut too much, the knife would be dull, and the hand would be sore. The Liang army, which had been smooth all the way, had stopped and could not advance, and the Qin army seemed to be not afraid of death, entangled the three thousand Liang army, and even if Chen Hongyi and Murong Ling were superb in martial arts, they could only keep grabbing the enemy's knife and continuing to cut people. Hu Jian seized the opportunity and took Chen Hongyi directly with a big axe, Chen Hongyi was old after all, and he gradually couldn't support it under Hu Jian's repeated attacks, Murong Ling jumped up from his horse and threw a knife at Hu Jian from mid-air, right in the middle of Hu Jian, but only inserted Hu Jian's leather armor and chain mail, and was blocked by the cotton armor. Because the force was too great, although Hu Jian was not stabbed, he was also hit hard, and he had to pull out his horse and return to the formation.

At this time, the Liang army was almost surrounded by the Qin army, and Hou Dong's army also rushed towards them, wanting to trap the more than 3,000 Liang troops outside Liyang City. Hu Jian hit the horse and returned with his abdomen covered, and Li Xiaofei saw it from a distance and shouted: "The Qin army is defeated, the Qin army is defeated!" General Hu ran away, General Hu ran away! ”。

Xiang Xiaoyu and the others immediately shouted: "General Hu is running north, chase after him!" ”

But after a while, Liang Jun all shouted: "The Qin army is defeated, the Qin army is defeated, Hu Jian has run away, don't let Hu Jian escape!" ”

Hu Jian's headquarters didn't believe it, but Hou Dong, who was behind the Liang army, heard the shouts and saw that Hu Jian had indeed retreated to the north, so Hou Dong stopped and retreated. Seeing Hou Dong retreating, some of Hu Jian's men also thought that the Qin army was really defeated, so they began to run north. Hu Jian endured the pain and waved the order flag: "Don't run, I'm still here, don't listen to Liang Jun's nonsense!" The Retreater Slashes"

Seeing that the Qin army and horses began to loosen, Chen Hongyi tried his best to ride forward and shouted: "Take advantage of the present time to crush the Qin army in one fell swoop!" The morale of the Liang army was suddenly greatly boosted, and he went north to cover the past, and Hu Jian could no longer stop the defeated soldiers and horses at this time, so he had to take the guards and flee to the north.

The Liang army chased out for thirty miles, killed more than 10,000 Qin troops, captured 6,000 war horses, and carried countless baggage. Chen Hongyi saw that the Qin army was retreating, so he packed up his war horses and retreated into Liyang City.

Chen Hongyi and the others drained the stagnant water in Liyang City, distributed grain and grass to the people in the city, selected 2,000 men and horses to camp outside the city, and the rest repaired the city wall in the city. Li Xiaofei followed Chen Hongyi and instructed his subordinates in the appearance of scholar Chen Hongyi, Chen Hongyi turned his head and smiled: "You take me so seriously, if you become an enemy of me in the future, how can you defeat me?" You don't have to learn from me everywhere, you have your own strengths, I can have today, it's not how much ability I have, it's all up to everyone's hard work and God's favor. In the future, the world will know that I defeated the 100,000 troops of the Qin army with 3,000 men and horses today, but no one knows that I was almost planted here today. Victory or defeat on the battlefield is often a matter of an instant, and no one is sure of victory. So don't think of fighting a war as fun! ”

Li Xiaofei was a little unconvinced: "But the hussar general in his fifties still took the lead in the charge himself, but taught us not to treat fighting as a good thing?" Under the dullness, I really don't understand"

Before Chen Hongyi could knock Li Xiaofei's head, Murong Ling spoke: "There are dead soldiers around Wuyi Gao, so naturally he can rush to the front." If you want to rush it one day, give me the coffin money first."

Li Xiaofei was so choked that he couldn't speak, but Chen Hongyi spoke to relieve the siege: "Haha, I charge because I am the main general, and I have to boost morale, which is very different from the effect of me rushing and rushing me." To say that I admire Hu Jian a lot today, he was a famous runaway general in the past, and today he almost killed his old man. Today's battle can be regarded as an opponent, and it also teaches a lesson to me, a proud old man. Working together and not being afraid of death is not unique to our army, the enemy army can also do it, and when the enemy army also works together and is not afraid of death, our advantage is actually not much. Xiao Fei, what the old man said today, you have to remember that in the future, you will also lead 3,000 troops, 30,000 horses, or even 300,000 troops, never despise your opponent, but never be afraid of your opponent! ”

Li Xiaofei seems to understand: "General Chen's lesson is very good, I wrote it down"

Murong Ling talked a lot today, and took over again: "I didn't understand it at first glance, you remember, every enemy has the potential to kill you, but you also have a chance to kill them, do you understand this time?" ”

Li Xiaofei smiled embarrassedly: "I understand, you talk a lot"

Chen Hongyi patted Murong Ling on the shoulder: "Mr. Murong is superb in martial arts, and he is also very good at marching and fighting, in fact, with you, I don't need to be so verbose."

Murong Ling waved his hand: "Teach a fool like him, I will live fifty years less, I can't teach, I can't teach!" ”

Xiang Xiaoyu ran over sweating profusely: "General Chen, General Murong, Master Li, after the captured grain and grass are distributed to the people, it is still enough for us to eat 3,581 people for 80 days, and after we leave the captured armor and weapons, there are 3,752 sets of armor, 2,460 knives, 1,237 big axes, 3,450 spears, 800 bows, and 4,000 arrows. I would like to ask you to discuss your next steps."

Chen Hongyi carefully looked at this farmer-looking person, and Li Xiaofei hurriedly introduced: "This big brother Xiang is now my lieutenant general, and his skills in managing the city and handling all kinds of complicated affairs are first-class, General Chen doesn't want to make up his mind again."

Chen Hongyi nodded: "The soldiers in our army do not have the ability to do this Xiang Deputy General, Xiang Deputy General, in fact, the next plan, you have already said it, the old man will give the order according to what you said, and recruit another 3,000 people from the remaining grain, grass, clothing, armor and equipment, these 3,000 people will be left to you, the old man will continue to pursue the remnants of the enemy in the north in three days, presumably His Royal Highness King Han and Shen De have rescued Jinyang and are going east to Yecheng, and the old man will join them in Yecheng." After I leave, you can defend the city, or you can attack Yan Zhao to the north, it's up to you to decide, the old man doesn't intervene, just do what you can."

After Hu Jian was defeated and fled, he joined Hou Dong, and Hou Dong should not blindly retreat, resulting in a failure. Hou Dong was also very remorseful, but the opportunity was missed, and he had no intention of fighting when he returned to attack Liyang's soldiers and horses. The two walked eighty miles to Yecheng and were camping to rest, when a group of people from Yecheng came to report that Yecheng was lostβ€”β€”β€”β€” Hu Jian thought that the Liang army had occupied Yecheng, but the people who came told them that they were Hou Tianjing, the younger brother of Hou Tianzhou, established himself as king in Yecheng, and also issued an edict to abolish the position of Hou Dongtianwang and remove Hu Jian from the post of general.

Hou Dong and Hu Jian were furious, drew their swords and cut down trees, and their subordinates persuaded them to fight back to Yecheng to eliminate Hou Tianjing, but Hu Jian shook his head: "Yecheng will be taken by the Liang army sooner or later, and the only way to do this is to go north to Fanyang and pass through Liaodong, and then go south to fight with the Liang army after recovering their vitality."

Hou Dong and Hu Jian fled straight to Fanyang with the remaining more than 30,000 people, and Fan Yang guarded Hu Zhun out of the city to greet him, and welcomed Hou Dong and Hu Jian into Fanyang, and the army was stationed outside the city. Hu Zhun is Hu Jian's younger brother, so Hu Jian trusts him. Hu Zhun set up a banquet to entertain Hou Dong and Hu Jian, and when he was drinking, he killed hundreds of fire dragon warriors, and Hou Dong and Hu Jian's knives were unloaded and placed in the front hall, so they had to pick up the table to resist. After Hou Dong and Hu Jian killed more than a dozen people, they were hugged by the warriors of the Fire Dragon Clan and held them down.

Hu Jian struggled and scolded: "Hu Zhun, you are my own brother, why did you betray the king of heaven and be disloyal, and kill your own brother unfilial, kill us, you will not end well, if you get lost, we can rebuild the Qin country!" ”

Hu Zhun raised his cup and swallowed a big sip of wine: "Phew, I have been thrown away in this remote Fan Yang for so many years, and now I am remembered after losing the battle, you have been a general for many years, and my younger brother also wants to be a general, if you don't die, I can't be a general, if he doesn't die, Hou Tianjing can't sit on the throne of the Heavenly King." Don't worry, I won't kill you, I will hand you over to the Black Flag Khanate, and they will send you to Hou Tianjing!" ”

Hu Jian didn't want to continue to be humiliated, so he pretended to be paralyzed, and as soon as the fire dragon warrior loosened his strength, Hu Jian rushed to the pillar and hit his head and fell to the ground. Everyone was stunned, Hou Dong also pounced on Hu Zhun with his mouth open, but was blocked by several Fire Dragon Clan soldiers who hurriedly drew their knives, and Hou Dong hit the tip of the knife and pierced himself.

After learning that Hou Dong and Hu Jian had been killed, the Qin army outside the city did not want to be used by Hu Zhun and first attacked Fanyang City, but was defeated by the cavalry of the Black Flag Khanate, which had long been stationed in Fanyang, and 30,000 horses scattered and fled.
