Chapter 62: An unhappy victory

"How did you get in?" Yan Zhong asked suspiciously.

Xiang Qing didn't plan to give him a chance at all, so he smiled and said, "If you talk too much, you will die, I'm not here to chat with you." ”

After that, he was about to make a move, Yan Zhong hurriedly shouted: "Wait, I still have something to say!" ”

Xiang Qing said impatiently: "If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go, I'm in a hurry." ”

Yan Zhong pointed at the subdued little bean and said, "He's just a child, can you let him go?" ”

Xiang Qing looked at Xiaodouzi's face, and involuntarily thought of Xiang Xu, and felt compassion in his heart, but how could a novel that has been baptized by countless TV dramas and novels and read how many novels with small characters counterattacked, how could he not understand the truth that cutting grass must be eradicated.

He shook his head and said, "If you don't speak well, maybe I can let him go, but since you said it, then this child must be an important person, so I won't let go of any of you." ”

Yan Zhong closed his eyes, he just wanted to plead for this child at the end, and he also had a clear conscience.

With the knife in his hand, Xiang Qing cut off Yan Zhong's head cleanly, without making him feel a trace of pain, and Xiaodouzi could not escape death.

Holding Yan Zhong's hair bun in one hand, Xiang Qing and his black-clothed warriors rushed out of the tent.

There was chaos outside the camp, and he promised to set fire everywhere, the original plan was just to set fire to the rebels and let Xiang Qing succeed, but he didn't expect the fire to get worse, and many rebel soldiers were already buried in the fire while they were still asleep.

When the rebel soldiers saw the fire, they reacted quite quickly, but Yun Cheng inadvertently set fire to the place where the rebels stacked the war horse forage, and the rebels had 8,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of war horses.

The entire rebel barracks was shrouded in thick smoke, and the flames swept through the entire barracks like monstrous waves on the sea.

At this time, the shouting of killing was heard, Liu Hu led the war horse straight to the Chinese army, and the rebels could not organize an effective resistance at all, so Liu Hu rushed directly to Xiang Qing's hiding place.

A hundred warriors turned over their horses, hid in the smoke, and slashed at one place, the night and smoke became their best cover, and the rebels could not identify how many Han troops there were, and they were in a mess.

At this time, Zhang Huan had already led the army to arrive, Dong Zhuo, Huaxiong and Qin Yi scrambled to be the first, directly smashed open the camp gate, and led the cavalry to rush in.

The Han army had a recognizable strip of red cloth wrapped around his arm, and as long as there was no strip of cloth on his arm, he would be slashed immediately.

After the cavalry rushed in, Zhang Huan did not lead the infantry to rush in, he ordered Shan Fu and Wang Shu to bring a thousand people each, guard the gate of other camps, and wait for the rabbit, specifically intercept and kill the rebels who ran out, and then rushed in with the infantry army.

The battle lasted until dawn, the rebels suffered countless casualties, the losses of the Han army were minimal, such a battle was simply arranged by God, the battle loss ratio reached almost one hundred to one, most of the rebels did not die in the hands of the Han army, but died in the sea of fire and trampling on each other, and some died in the indistinguishable friend and foe, cannibalism.

Zhang Huan and Xiang Qing joined forces, both of them were covered in blood, and in front of them were the rebel soldiers kneeling on the ground, their will to fight had been completely broken, and they just wanted to survive.

At this time, Dong Zhuo and the three of them also rushed over from other camps, and Dong Zhuo led the cavalry to directly kill the crowd of soldiers, whether they were soldiers or not, they all looked like they were all killed.

Xiang Qing and Zhang Huan shouted at the same time to stop, where did they think that Dong Zhuo was red-eyed, and he couldn't stop at all, thousands of soldiers were unarmed and had no power to fight back, Dong Zhuo took the iron horse back and forth to kill them cleanly.

Dong Zhuo came to Xiang Qing and rolled the saddle and dismounted, laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

"A great victory, General! This battle is enough to go down in history! Someone admires the general! ”

Hua Xiong and Qin Yi also said hello on the side, with only a hundred people, they took Yan Zhong's head in the ten thousand armies, this battle, has annihilated all the living forces of the Xiliang rebels, the remnants of the remnants of the army are no longer afraid, and the recovery of Liangzhou is just around the corner!

Xiang Qing had a gloomy face, he didn't even look at Dong Zhuo, the cavalry behind Dong Zhuo seemed to be standing in the sea of corpses and blood, there was no open space to place the horses' hooves, the corpses of the rebels were dense, the blood was pooled into a river, and the scarlet was dazzling.

"They have already surrendered on their knees, why do you still want to kill them all!" Xiang Qing asked.

Dong Zhuo was a little stunned, Xiang Qing was actually unhappy after such a big victory?

He hesitated for a moment and replied: "General, a certain family thinks that these rebels have betrayed the Han Dynasty, and now they can lay down their arms and surrender when they see that they can't do anything, but as soon as our army leaves, they can take up arms and commit rebellions, so a certain family thinks that they must cut down the grass and eradicate the roots!" ”

Xiang Qing gritted his teeth and said, "They could have lived!" Alive! You killed them with your own hands, and that's a thousand lives! Don't you feel guilty at all? ”

Dong Zhuo stubbornly raised a face, his face trembled, and said, "General! Ci is not in charge of the army, you are the commander of an army, how can you be so mother-in-law! Let them go today, if there is a rebellion in the future, as long as you put down your weapons, you can not blame the past, then the Han world will definitely rebel! There's nothing wrong with a certain family! No guilt! ”

Hua Xiong and Qin Yi said at the same time: "General! We also support Dong Sima, if the general wants to be punished, even we will punish it together! ”

Zhang Huan looked at Xiang Qingqi's pale face, felt that something was not right, and hurriedly came out to play a round.

"General Xiang, since he has been killed, he can't survive, let's stop fighting for the dead, the top priority now is that the rebels still escaped a considerable part, if they are used by those who have a heart, it will be endless, in my opinion, the general should give an order to hunt down and kill the rebels!"

Xiang Qing forcibly swallowed this breath, let Dong Zhuo stand aside, and asked, "Zhonglang, why didn't I see the corpse of a Qianghu person?" ”

Zhang Huan replied: "I also think it's strange, Wang Duhou has already gone to check." ”

The edict about the battle of Jincheng has arrived in Yunwu, and the prince of the capital is Wang Shu.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Shu ran over.

"General, I asked some rebels, those Qianghu people are very vigilant, they usually sleep with their war horses, and as soon as the fight started last night, these Qianghu people all ran away."

Xiang Qing nodded, this is also in line with the style of the Qianghu people, when they can make a handful, they are more greedy than anyone else, and the ability to see the wind and rudder is a must, once something happens, it will definitely run fast, and the missiles can't catch up.

"How many of the rebels ran away?" Xiang Qing asked.

Wang Shu took a breath and said: "The rebels have a total of three large battalions, not counting the Qianghu people, there are also 10,000 people, yesterday the fire was too big, and a lot of people were burned, but there were also many people who ran away, it is estimated that there are four or five percent, at least four thousand people." ”

Zhang Huan knelt down on one knee and asked for his life: "General, we must not let the rebels reunite, otherwise there will be endless troubles, the rebels will lose their horses and run away, the last general will ask for orders and lead all the cavalry to chase and kill!" ”

Xiang Qing nodded helplessly, Zhang Huan took the order and left, but Dong Zhuo was indignant on the side, this credit should obviously be his own, but he was robbed by that Zhang Huan, and he was already dissatisfied with Xiang Qing in his heart.

Wang Shu and Shan Fu led the troops to clean up the battlefield, clear some stragglers, and calculate the harvest this time, Rao is a genius like Shan Fu, and it took a long time to calculate a rough idea.

Xiang Qing has returned to Yunwu City, lying in the room to rest, since the order to suppress the thief, he has not had a good rest, during the day to discuss the military situation with the generals, deal with military affairs, until midnight, at night he has to study military books, study strategies, is really tired.

simply be a hands-off shopkeeper, let Wang Shu and Shan Fu take care of the aftermath, and he will sleep first.

But Xiang Qing tossed and turned, tossing and turning, he just couldn't sleep, his mind kept echoing the scenes of those soldiers being slaughtered, he knew that Dong Zhuo's approach was not wrong, but he was still very angry, although he killed a lot of people, but in his heart, he was still a person who hated killing, and there was a thought of preferential treatment of prisoners hovering in his mind.

sat up, pulled out the Thundering Sword, and took a piece of cloth to wipe the sword body, the blood groove of the Thundering Sword was designed extremely cleverly, and there was not much blood on the sword, but Xiang Qing still took the trouble to wipe it over and over again, and he was distracted for a while, and he didn't even notice Xiang Xu walking in.

"Brother, what do you want?" Xiang Xu asked.

Hearing Xiang Xu's voice, Xiang Qingcai raised his head.

"Xiao Xu, come and sit."

Xiang Xu and Xiang Qing sat on the bed, Xiang Qing raised the thundering sword, and suddenly stabbed forward, the sword light flashed, and there seemed to be a thunderous sound echoing in the room, but Xiang Qing shook his head as if he was not satisfied.

"Xiao Xu, although this sword is as sharp as clay and ignores any armor, I always feel that I don't seem to be suitable for using a sword, and Master's swordsmanship is naturally exquisite and unique in the world, but I still feel uncomfortable."

Xiang Qing thought for a moment and continued: "Do you remember that we were in Jincheng? When I was fighting in the array, I held the two sledgehammers called Wang Meng, and I felt that it was much easier, but it was still too light, it was too light, and I didn't take advantage of it. ”

Where did he think of it, but Xiang Xu said directly: "Definitely not to take advantage of it, brother, the master didn't call you swordsmanship at all." ”

Xiang Qing's eyes widened: "What are you talking about?"

Xiang Xu nodded affirmatively and said, "Senior Brother and I are both learning swordsmanship, but I remember that the master said that you are not suitable for learning swords, so I taught you something else, as for what, I don't know." ”

It seems that a thunderbolt on a sunny day is playing behind Xiang Qing, and with his extremely fierce swordsmanship, is it actually self-taught? He still remembered what Xiang Xu said, among all the sword masters in the world, except for the senior brother in the palace, it is difficult to find an opponent in the whole world, and this sword technique is not his main direction of attack?

Xiang Xu seemed to suddenly remember something, patted his little head and said, "Brother, I remembered!" In addition to the three of us' three swords, Master also had a treasured weapon, which was so long and heavy that even Master couldn't pick it up, and it was always placed under the waterfall in the back mountain. ”

Xiang Qing hurriedly asked, "Then is that weapon still there?" ”

Xiang Xu shook his head: "It's gone, it was taken away by a man with a long beard with a yellow cloth wrapped around his head, a book in his left hand, a cane in his right hand, and a long beard." ”
