Chapter 434: Zhu Zhihai's Death
Many generals showed a silent and thoughtful look, and they didn't speak for a long time, obviously they were all weighing the gains and losses of the thieves in their hearts!
At this time, Chang Pingchang stood up: "Lord Qian, if you have something to say, let go of the governor first!" ”
Qian Dafei sneered: "Let him go? Haha, don't you want to think about it, as soon as the official lets go of him, he turns around and asks his own soldiers to kill you too, there is a kind, you all withdraw your own soldiers, see if he Zhu Zhihai will kill you! ”
Many generals of the Ming army looked at Zhu Zhihai at this time, and the front and back of these generals were already full of their own relatives at this time, and Chang Pingchang, who spoke just now, was protected by seven or eight of his own personal soldiers!
Zhu Zhihai looked around, and then said: "Although you are a criminal general of the defeated army, this official will give you a chance to atone for your crimes, as long as you fight bravely in the future, this official will not be guilty of the past!" ”
Chang Pingchang and the others nodded slightly after hearing this, and then looked at Qian Dafei and said: "You also heard what the adults said, let go of the adults, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind, do you think you can leave here alive after killing the adults?" ”
At this time, Qian Dafei also found that the situation seemed to be quite bad for him, and he had to think of a way!
Qian Dafei's desire to be a thief has been since yesterday!
The tragic death of the commander of Xinglongwei yesterday touched him greatly, and his headquarters was lined up on the front line by Zhu Zhihai several times in a row, and his troops were also among them when he broke off yesterday, and in the end, although he successfully escaped back to the city, his more than 1,000 subordinates only came back with less than 300 people.
In addition, he and Zeng Ziwen also knew each other, and after hearing about Zeng Ziwen's deeds, he asked himself that with his friendship with Zeng Ziwen, after he surrendered to the past anyway, he would definitely be able to get a big official.
Today's Zhu Zhihai's sudden frenzy finally made him unable to help but do something to kidnap Zhu Zhihai.
Originally, he thought that under the fiasco, these generals would want to surrender like himself, but he didn't expect that none of them responded to him, and several of his own soldiers were also stabbed by others, so it was estimated that they couldn't help themselves too much.
This situation is different from what I expected!
Although he is a little pretentious, he is not stupid, and naturally he knows that he must not let Zhu Zhihai go at this time, let alone kill Zhu Zhihai.
In that case, you will definitely be dismembered by a knife immediately!
The only way to do this is to save your life first, and then plan for something else, this ghost place can't stay, you have to go!
Immediately said: "It's okay to let this official let go of this surnamed Zhu, but I have to let this surnamed Zhu give me a ride!" ”
Then he looked at the few Ming army generals and personal soldiers who were blocking him and said, "Get out of the way!" ”
Chang Pingchang glanced at Zhu Zhihai at this time, and then said to the people next to him: "Get out of the way, let him out!" ”
Then he said to Qian Dafei again: "Lord Qian, I hope you can think clearly about what you are doing now!" ”
Qian Dafei laughed: "Lao Tzu knows very well! ”
Immediately, he continued to use the knife on Zhu Zhihai's neck, and then walked forward slowly!
However, he had just taken two steps, and suddenly a person behind his left side stepped forward, this person was none other than a personal soldier beside Chang Pingchang, this person was extremely fast, and he was not holding a long-waisted knife in his hand, but only holding a small knife with a blade of a few inches!
Instantly after, I saw that this person was on the left and right sides of Qian Dafei, and the knife in his hand instantly pierced Qian Dafei's neck!
After the knife was pierced into his neck, Qian Dafei let out a miserable scream, and then it was probably the instinct of his body, and the knife in his hand was pulled forward, which instantly cut Zhu Zhihai's neck out of a big hole, and the blood spurted out of the artery in his neck was cheap!
At this time, everyone shouted in unison:
"Bold!"
"Your Excellency!"
Everyone stepped forward quickly, some people directly pulled out knives and slashed at Qian Dafei, and some people ran forward to help Zhu Zhihai!
Chang Pingchang also walked quickly in front of Zhu Zhihai, stretched out his hand to cover Zhu Zhihai's neck, but it was all in vain!
At this time, Zhu Zhihai's lips moved slightly, as if he was saying something, Chang Pingchang leaned over to listen, but he couldn't hear what Zhu Zhihai said.
Just a few seconds later, Qian Dafei was already dismembered by a random knife, but Zhu Zhihai also fell in a pool of blood and completely lost his breath!
At this time, everyone looked at Chang Pingchang, and then looked at Chang Pingchang's personal soldiers who had attacked and killed Qian Dafei just now, and most of their eyes revealed thoughtful expressions.
At this time, Chang Pingchang stood up, showed a look of grief and said: "Qian Dafei held the adult hostage with the intention of surrendering to the thief, and now he has been dismembered by a knife, and then Lord Zhu is also tragically poisoned, which is really the pain of the country!" ”
After saying that, he changed his words and said: "I wish that Lord Fang has left his last words, let the army retreat, and leave it for him to counterattack in the future!" ”
Immediately, when everyone heard this, Qi Qi's eyes lit up, and no one bothered to investigate Zhu Zhihai's neck was cut at that time, what else to say, and the last words he left, but since Chang Pingchang said so, then they must be serious!
Because it's a retreat!
Immediately, after a few high-ranking generals with great prestige and seniority discussed, they quickly made corresponding arrangements for retreat!
What kind of deployment, naturally each runs its own way!
Is it possible that you can still count on others to break it off for you!
Immediately, many generals scattered in a hurry, and they all took their own soldiers to gather the soldiers and horses of their headquarters to retreat!
Several of Zhu Zhihai's staff and personal soldiers looked at Zhu Zhihai who fell to the ground, and they didn't know what to do for a while, but they just turned their eyes to Zhu Zhihai's staff Wu Nuanzhi, at this time Wu Nuanzhi sighed lightly: "Take the adults with you, let's go too!" ”
As they brought Zhu Zhihai's corpse with them, only the corpses of Qian Dafei and several of his personal soldiers were left in this hall!
Qian Dafei used his life to prove that it is not so easy to coerce the main general to surrender in the army!
Zhu Zhihai died, and the Ming army, which was already in chaos, completely lost its command, and the Ming troops competed to escape!
The first to escape from the city was Chang Pingchang, who not only brought more than 500 soldiers and horses from his headquarters, but also more than 1,000 Fubiao recruits!
Among the more than 1,000 Fubiao recruits, there were 500 elite horsemen who had never participated in the battle, and they were also taken away by him, and then fled wildly from the West City Gate!
Chang Pingchang fled, and the other Ming troops were also unwilling to be left behind, and they all rushed out of the city with their descendants and horses!
The speed of escape made the Datang New Army behind unable to react!
This time to attack the city, the new army of the Tang Dynasty did not play any tactics such as encircling three and one, but only put a small number of troops at the other city gates for surveillance, which was just to prevent the Ming army from going out of the city from other city gates to bypass the attack.
And the main force of the new army of the Tang Dynasty is concentrated in the East City Gate!
Now that the Ming army has fled from several other city gates, the new army of the Tang Dynasty is really unable to stop it for a while!
However, the Ming army that can escape naturally cannot be all, or even half of them!
The scene is so chaotic that many Ming generals simply can't worry about their own soldiers and horses, even if they are in a hurry, but those Ming troops are fighting against the new army of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not that they can go.
In the end, many Ming generals could only flee with their own soldiers and a few troops!
Sensing that the Ming army had collapsed and was still fleeing, the new army of the Tang Dynasty also reacted quickly, and Li Xuan, who was still outside the city, immediately ordered Cao Mingda to lead three hundred cavalry troops to quickly rush to several other city gates to intercept the fleeing Ming army!
In this battle, the goal of the Datang New Army is not to conquer Liping Fu City, what is the use of a mere city for the Datang New Army, their strategic goal is to annihilate Zhu Zhihai's army of more than 30,000 people.
If Zhu Zhihai leads too many troops to escape, then the follow-up will also be extremely troublesome for the Datang New Army.
At the same time, the 2nd Brigade and the 6th Infantry Regiment as reserves were also dispatched, and they did not enter the city, but rushed to several other city gates to intercept and pursue the fleeing Ming army!
However, in the end, how many Ming troops can be intercepted and caught up, that is something that no one knows.
Although the Ming army broke and fled, the battle in the city still continued!
Such a large-scale battle naturally does not mean that it can be ended at the end, and the follow-up battles will still last for a long time!
In fact, Chang Pingchang fled with his soldiers and horses for half an hour, and the new army of the Tang Dynasty was the city wall that completely controlled the city of Lipingfu!
This is because seeing that the general trend has been decided, in order to avoid casualties, the Datang New Army gave up the previous practice of ignoring it and rushing directly to fight desperately, but adopted more small-scale tactics to outflank and exterminate, and even persuade to surrender and so on!
After the new army of the Tang Dynasty completely controlled the four city walls and city gates, the Ming army in the city had no way to escape from the city, and there were only three waiting for them, either surrender, or die in battle, or take off their military uniforms and hide in the houses, and escape with their lives!
However, at this time, the defeat of the Ming army of more than 10,000 people in the city could no longer attract the attention of Li Xuan and others, and they paid more attention to how many Ming troops had successfully escaped!
These escaped Ming troops will cause trouble for them in the future, and they must be pursued decisively, and if they can be annihilated, they will be annihilated, and if they can't be annihilated, they must be driven away, and they will not be allowed to regroup!
By noon, the battle in the city of Liping Mansion was already preliminarily over, but Li Xuan still did not enter the city, but continued to command the battle outside the city!
At this time, the city was in chaos, and Li Xuan felt that if he rushed into the city, he might be hit by a bow and arrow when he entered the city.
Li Xuan, who has always cherished his own life, naturally would not take such unnecessary risks, and it made no difference if he entered the city one day earlier or one day later!
In the afternoon of the same day, Zeng Ziwen found Li Xuan with a large number of reports submitted by various troops, reported to Li Xuan and asked for many follow-up matters!
And the most important of them is naturally to pursue the Ming army deserters!
