724, Fan Jun (6)
Everything that happened in front of Gaotang City fell into Zheng Fei's eyes, seeing that tens of thousands of Han soldiers had tied cloth ropes on their shoulders as agreed, threw away their weapons and fled here, Zheng Fei did not hesitate, and gave an order, "Action!" ”
As soon as the war drums were beaten, the majestic beating war drums instantly resounded throughout the audience, and in an instant, as if they had received a signal at the same time, more and more war drums were beaten, and the Tiandao Army position, which had just been calm, was boiling, and the soldiers who had already been in the military tent and behind the bunker acted at the same time!
The archers either came to the deep trench that had been dug, or climbed on the chariots or bunkers, or climbed on the high ground of the earth structures dug out of the deep trenches, and drew their arrows and bows, holding their breath, and staring at the tens of thousands of people who were rushing towards them, distinguishing the target of the attack.
The infantrymen armed with steel swords and shields followed closely behind the archers, forming a wall of ten thousand people, ready to go into battle to kill the enemy.
Behind the infantry was a stormtrooper consisting of tens of thousands of horsemen, which had been used as a surprise soldier.
++++++++++++++++
In the Han army, rushing to the front is Zeng Mingyi and other officers on horseback, as they get closer and closer to the position of the Heavenly Dao Army, they have discovered the actions of the Heavenly Dao Army at this time, at this time the sun has completely risen, the sun is sprinkled all over the earth, under the reflection of the sun, hundreds of thousands of arrows in the hands of the Heavenly Dao Army are scattered like stars, but it also makes people feel a kind of heartfelt fear, it is conceivable that if so many thousands of arrows are shot at the Han army, and the Han army is already defenseless in their hands, I'm afraid that tens of thousands of Han soldiers can be killed in an instant!
But what puzzled Zeng Mingyi and others was that in front of the Heavenly Dao Army formation, the long ditch that was two or three zhang wide was still there, and there was no passage built on the long ditch, the Han army was neither a toad, they couldn't jump over at all, and they didn't have wings and couldn't fly over, what did the Heavenly Dao Army mean? Don't you feel comfortable putting yourself in their position?
Or ......, Zeng Mingyi couldn't help but shudder, could it be that all this was a trick set up by the Heavenly Dao Army? They will not accept the surrender of the Han army at all, but want to use this method to put the Han army to death, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of dividing the Liao army and weakening the strength of the Liao army?!
What frightened Zeng Mingyi even more was that they had already heard the sound of the hooves of the Liao cavalry coming from behind them, as well as the terrible screams of the companions who followed behind them before they were slashed by the Khitan cavalry, the Khitan army had already been killed!
At this time, the situation is that there are pursuers behind, but he is unarmed and unable to resist, there is no way out, and I don't know whether the other party is really willing to give a way out or put his army to death!
For a moment, Zeng Mingyi and the others were a little hesitant, everyone's faces were full of deep fear, and the speed of moving forward couldn't help but slow down.
But Rao was like this, they still finally came to the deep ditch, fortunately, the bow and arrow in the hands of the Heavenly Dao Army did not shoot at them,
Zeng Mingyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly shouted to the Heavenly Dao Army across the long ditch, "We have come to descend as promised, please take the passage quickly and let us pass!" ”
As soon as his words fell, countless people in the Heavenly Dao Army were shouting at them,
"Jump!"
"Jump!"
"Jump!"
……,
Zeng Mingyi and the others couldn't help but be stunned, jumping? Do you want everyone to jump into the ditch?
Everyone looked down at this deep ditch, about two zhang seven or eight steps wide, about half a zhang deep, the ditch wall is also dug extremely straight, there is no point that can be used for climbing, this has to jump down, although it is said that it can't be killed, but if there is no ladder or the like, it is impossible to climb up again, and the Tiandao army is fully armed and waiting on the ditch, which is equivalent to saying that the beast enters the well, and it can only be slaughtered by the Tiandao army in the future,
As soon as they stopped, tens of thousands of people of the entire Han army behind them gradually caught up and stopped with them, while the Liao cavalry behind them was also closer to them!
Zeng Mingyi glanced back, and saw that more and more Khitan soldiers had caught up, anyway, if he waited any longer, it would be a death, so he had the right to believe in the Heavenly Dao Army again!
Zeng Mingyi put his heart sideways, took the lead and jumped forward into the pit, with him taking the lead, the rest of the people no longer hesitated, and jumped into the ditch along the ditch wall, or slipped into the ditch, one ditch was filled with people, and hurriedly jumped to the other place,
More and more Han troops disappeared in front of the ditch, but the archers of the Heavenly Dao Army were still waiting,
Finally, the chasing Liao cavalry came into their range,
The Heavenly Dao Army also officially launched an attack on the Khitan soldiers, and under the attack of the rain of arrows, although it was inevitable that many Han soldiers who were very close to the Khitan soldiers were mistakenly injured, the Khitan soldiers' marching speed finally slowed down.
The Khitan soldiers resisted for a while, but they saw that they could no longer continue to advance, and most of the Han army had "disappeared" on the ground level, and the big ditch in front of them could not be passed at all, and the most important thing was that they came here to pursue on a whim, and they did not get orders from Yelu Dashi or Xiao Chala, and they were not sure whether they had reinforcements to support them after charging desperately here, and in the end, they could only retreat helplessly after leaving a few hundred corpses and returned to Gaotang City.
At this time, in the deep ditch, tens of thousands of Han soldiers have crowded the entire deep ditch, overcrowded, the lucky still have a foothold, as for some of the more unlucky, just jumped down when did not stand firm and fell to the ground, before they got up and were pressed by the people who jumped down behind, stepped on a lot of people, fortunately, the army has not eaten for almost two days, everyone's stomachs are empty, there is neither food nor feces, otherwise it is really uncertain that they will either squeeze something out of their mouths, or squeeze out something from below,
Zeng Mingyi and Yigan were the first to jump into the ditch, and the military capital Yu Hou didn't look at it as officials, but they didn't have any privileges in this environment, and the place where they just jumped was the place where the most people jumped with it were the most dense, it was really called a squeeze, but Zeng Mingyi couldn't care so much at this time, since he just gritted his teeth and jumped down, he never forgot to observe the situation above, looking up from the two-zhang wide ditch, he saw arrows flying like rain, and most of them were shot from the side of the Heavenly Dao Army, and then the frequency of watching the arrows gradually decreased a lot, The sound of horses' hooves from above gradually began to go away, Zeng Mingyi's heart finally relaxed by more than half, obviously, it seems that the Liao army has been defeated!
But seeing that almost the entire Han military camp was crowded in this ditch, Zeng Mingyi's heart couldn't help but pinch again, according to the current situation, the entire army has almost completely lost the ability to resist, as long as the Tiandao army above the ditch has a little murderous intent, and then makes a slight move, such as filling the pit with soil, setting fire, pouring water, or even hundreds of thousands of people peeing in it together, these tens of thousands of people have to be all here!
In Zeng Mingyi's anxious waiting, he saw that the figures of the soldiers of the Heavenly Dao Army soon appeared on the side of the ditch, they only took their heads and looked inside and disappeared, just when Zeng Mingyi became more and more nervous, finally, ladders were continued from the side of the ditch, and the shouts of the Heavenly Dao Army above were heard in his ears at the same time, "The brothers of the Han military camp have suffered, come up, remember, you are not allowed to bring any weapons, if you find one, all the surrounding hundred people will be executed!" ”
Zeng Mingyi no longer knows what words to use to describe his feelings, he knows that he has made the right bet, and it seems that he can't die today!
The Han soldiers who escaped in the ground began to climb up the ladder, and after listening to the warning of the Heavenly Dao Army, some of the weapons such as daggers that were secretly hidden were also quietly thrown away, and when they climbed to the ground, they saw that the infantry several times their size was already ready, eyeing the tiger, I don't know how many cavalry were also cruising around, the archers were still in place, although the bows and arrows in their hands were not aimed at these people, but the arrows still hanging on the bows also showed that if they wanted to attack, it was only a matter of light seconds, Everything clearly reveals a message, warn these Han soldiers who have just surrendered, don't use any crooked brains, it's easy to destroy you!
Seeing this, the Han soldiers all understood what was going on, and they were all silent, and no one dared to have the slightest abnormality, so they let the infantry of the Heavenly Dao Army step forward and simply search them behind them and take them to the depths of the barracks in batches.
However, there is also good news for them, they have already learned from the soldiers who escorted them that the Heavenly Dao Army has prepared a meal, and now it is time to take them to eat first!
For the Han soldiers who have been hungry for two days, there is really nothing more satisfying for them than to be able to eat a full meal now, as for the conditions that their commanders talked about with the Heavenly Dao Army, they really have nothing to do with them, as soon as the clothes are changed, the gun is adjusted, whoever eats and drinks with whom!
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Zeng Mingyi and all the senior officers such as the commander and Du Yuhou did not go to dinner with their subordinates, they were taken to the handsome tent together after revealing their identities, saying that Zheng Linfeng, the commander of the Tiandao Army, wanted to see them, and as soon as they heard that they were going to see the future boss, they hurriedly tidied up their clothes, especially wiped the dirt that had just been stained in the pit, and then went to the handsome tent with the people.
Before he arrived, Zheng Fei had personally led the crowd to greet him.
Although Zeng Mingyi didn't know Zheng Fei, he knew Hua Rong, and when he saw Hua Rong and the others walking around a burly and majestic man, he reacted instantly, and first stepped forward and took a few quick steps to kneel on the ground, "The criminal minister Zeng Mingyi greets King Qi!" ”
The group of people who followed him also hurried forward and knelt down together,
Zheng Fei helped Zeng Mingyi up with a smile, and beckoned everyone to get up, Hua Rong next to him smiled at Zeng Mingyi, and then introduced him to Zheng Fei.
Next, Zheng Fei first said something to comfort everyone, Ben Shuai knows that you serve the Liao State, forget your ancestors, and be a lackey for the Khitan people, but also out of helplessness, no matter what bad things you have done with the Khitan people, Ben Shuai is not to blame in the past, I only hope that you can completely lose your way from now on, change your past mistakes, be a new person, use your practical actions to atone for your past sins, and really be a Han man who stands up to the sky!
Zeng Mingyi and others hurriedly said yes, we must follow King Qi well, King Qi let us go east, we will never go west, King Qi wants our head, and we will also help sharpen the knife.
Zheng Fei smiled and continued, Of course, everyone has their own ambitions, if any of you don't want to join us, and want to follow the Khitans, now even if you say it, Ben Shuai will not only not stop it, but will also entangle you and send you back to Liao.
Zeng Mingyi and everyone shook their heads like rattles, whoever wants to believe this is really an idiot, commander, don't say that, from now on, the lives of the brothers are yours, don't say take the initiative to go, even if you drive us away, we won't leave, and we will always be loyal to you!
After the combination of grace and power, Zheng Fei finally said the idea that Zeng Mingyi and others were most concerned about, the brothers can say this about Ben Shuai is relieved, Ben Shuai is a person who has promises to be fulfilled, and all the conditions promised to you will be done, although you can rest assured, you have also suffered a lot of sins these days, first eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, and when you have enough spirit and recovered your physical strength, Ben Shuai will officially start to reorganize your subordinates, and the general principle is that your former subordinates will be returned to your control, and then let you set up an army, the deputy commander of this army, is served by Zeng Mingyi, and the military commander is not an outsider, it is Hua Rong, presumably you all know each other in Liao.
Zeng Mingyi finally completely relieved himself when he heard this, he was afraid that his military power would fall, and he was afraid that he would be subject to some unfamiliar people, and now he saw that the military power was still his own, and Hua Rong, who was subject to it, was also an old acquaintance, and he didn't have any character and ability, and he was his adjutant when he was in Liao, and he was also a nephew who picked up the lamp and took care of his uncle (as usual).
Zeng Mingyi took the lead in thanking him again, and the rest of the people did not hesitate, and thanked him together, the surrender was the head picked by Zeng Mingyi, and it was natural for people to be the boss, as for Hua Rong, this master is even more amazing, he became famous in the Great Liao War, and his reputation is great, and it is best to follow him.
Zheng Fei was about to beckon everyone to enter the account again to talk in detail, but at this moment, Wu Yong suddenly came to Zheng Fei's side and said something to him with excitement on his face, only to see Zheng Fei obviously change, and a trace of surprise and excitement flashed on his face.
Zeng Mingyi saw that he hurriedly took everyone to retire,
Zheng Fei was obviously a little absent-minded and encouraged everyone again, and then let everyone retreat,
Zeng Mingyi followed Hua Rong out, and wondered in his heart, what could make this powerful King of Song Qi so out of shape?
In the distance, Zheng Fei had already taken a small note from Wu Yong's hand, and he couldn't wait to unfold it, and his face finally showed irrepressible ecstasy!
"Princess Yelu Caijie has arrived in Dengzhou."
