Chapter 6: The White-Haired Veteran

These Jin troops are really well-trained, not to mention that everyone knows that if they can't win this battle, they will die or die, and they will form a team while retreating, and after a while, the team has been strictly organized. But at the same time, Abuhua and the 150 gold army had all been killed.

Li Guang was on the right, Hua Rong was on the left, and the Han army pressed with absolute superiority. The Jin soldiers' eyes were blood-red, and they roared loudly to meet them, and the two sides were in a mess for a while. In terms of numbers, the Han army had a three-to-one advantage, but the Han army lacked training, insufficient morale, and was located in the Jin military camp, the terrain was unfamiliar, and the Jin army was desperate because there was no way out, and the two sides were evenly matched for a while.

Hua Rong and Li Guang roared again and again, trying to urge the whole army to defeat the opponent, if they couldn't win in such an advantageous situation, weren't they too incompetent? But let them be in a hurry, the Han army just can't break through.

Wei Qing has arrived! He led four hundred spearmen, maintaining a steady horizontal row, and although the pace was not fast, it did not stop.

The Han army in the battle formation heard that a team was coming behind them, and they all looked back, and when they saw it, everyone gasped. The four hundred people lined up in two rows, with flat ends of spears, Wei Qing led the team in front, and Bai Buxin was guarding next to him with his sword, seeing that this spear array was about to poke at the Han army in the back row of the battle array, but whether it was Wei Qing or Bai Buxin, they would never stop!

This forced the Han army in the battle array to a dead end, there is still the possibility of life forward, and if you don't stop, you will definitely die, and the Han soldiers roared one after another, all of them bravely forward.

The Jin army could no longer hold on, and the defensive position that had been formed with great difficulty was broken through, and everyone was fighting separately, not for survival, but for the delay of death.

Zamu put a knife in his hand and hacked the fifth Han army to death, but at this time, there was no Jin army around him, and there were Han troops in all directions, and five or six Han soldiers rushed up together. Zamuhe let out a long sigh and raised his knife to wipe it from his neck. Suddenly, someone behind him kicked him in the back, and he was caught off guard and fell to the ground, where several Han soldiers had already pounced and held him firmly.

"Tie it up and send it to the guerrilla guard!" Li Guangguang roared.

It turned out that Li Guang saw the color of this person's clothes and knew that he was the supreme commander in the Jin military camp, how could he let him die easily? kicked down Zamuhe, captured him alive, and reported to Wei Qing.

Wei Qing saw that the Jin army had collapsed, his heart finally let go, and with a wave of his hand, the four hundred Han troops around him also joined the slaughter. The hour was not over yet, the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was blowing, but the Jin military camp was littered with corpses, and the wailing and screaming were endless. Wei Qing looked at this massacre, and his chest was a little blocked. Why exactly? Whether it is the Jin army or the Han army, they are all ordinary people, why should they fight to the death for reasons they don't know?

Bai Buxin led a few soldiers to Wei Qing's side with a Jin army general with a big tie of flowers, and his excitement was overflowing: "Guerrilla lord, the leader of the Jin army, Zamuhe, was captured, and it was captured by General Li Guang himself!" ”

Wei Qing was in good spirits. He looked at Zamuhe and shouted: "Zamuhe, today's defeat is your own guilt!" ”

Zamuhe snorted: "Your name is Wei Qing?" Sure enough, there is a strategy, but unfortunately you are Han, if it is our Jin people, you must be a famous general in front of the emperor! Although he failed, he did not defend himself, but praised Wei Qing's strategy.

Wei Qing's heart sank. If every general of the Jin Army had such an open-mindedness, it would be difficult for the Jin Army to defeat. He couldn't think of a word to answer for a while, so he ordered Bai Buxin: "Bai Dutong, send him back to the camp first, and when the battlefield is cleaned, we will sacrifice prisoners to General Liu together!" Bai Buxin responded, took a few steps with Zha Muhe, but turned back and stood still in front of Wei Qing. Wei Qing looked at Bai Buxin, not knowing what he had to say.

Bai Buxin said slowly word by word: "Wei guerrilla, even in the Han army, you are also a famous general, as long as time passes, what Bai said will be believed!" With that, Bai Buxin turned around and left.

This sentence is not just said in vain. General Zhang watched the battle from afar. In this twenty days, it resisted nearly four times the attack of the Han army, which made General Lin Shen feel helpless, and even made General Liu sit in the city, almost changing the stronghold of the situation of the two armies, so that Wei Qing took it in three days, from the launch of the attack to the defeat of the enemy army, it only took half an hour, General Zhang Shen couldn't help but blurt out: "In time, Wei Qing will be a general!" ”

He turned his horse's head: "Let's go, go back to the main army camp!" ”

"General, are we not going to take over the army of the guerrillas?" His subordinate asked.

General Zhang smiled: "Do you want to grab the merits of the war?" I don't do that. ”

The Jin military camp was in a mess, and the Jin sergeants were really ruthless, fighting to the death one by one, and in the end only more than 20 prisoners were captured, and all of them were wounded. Li Guang and Hua Rong were busy organizing their subordinates to clean up the battlefield. Wei Qing sat on the horse and looked around, feeling very proud.

A small commander suddenly came to Wei Qing's side and reported: "In the guerrilla attack, a soldier of our army escaped from the battle, and now he has been captured, and the last general will not dare not report it." ”

Wei Qing was furious. What is the use of such a soldier who has fled in such a victorious war?

"Bring it on, I'm going to kill him with my own hands!" He himself felt the green tendons on his neck bulging and the blood vessels throbbing.

The soldiers were brought up. Wei Qing couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw someone coming. This person is the old army that trains dogs, Zhao Lili!

Zhao Lili almost didn't participate in the whole battle, he was always in charge of herding the dogs, but in the final stage, Wei Qing saw that the Jin army had collapsed, so he ordered everyone to attack, and Zhao Lili only participated in the battle at this time. Wei Qing's anger in his heart was even worse, and he would actually escape in the final stage!

"Zhao Lili! Why did you flee? Wei Qing shouted angrily.

Zhao Lili slowly raised his head, smiled bitterly, and said: "Guerrilla, although Lili is called Lili, but that was thirty years ago, although our army won a great victory on the battlefield, but Lili was no longer able to kill the enemy, and in the face of the enemy, Lili could only flee." ”

Wei Qing's heart sank. He looked at Zhao Lili's gray hair, this person was only sixty miles away, but such an old man was conscripted into the army, it was really difficult for a strong man. But since you are in the army, you have to abide by the rules of the army, not to mention that escaping from the battle is the greatest sin, and it has always been unforgivable. If Zhao Lili can be pardoned today and not killed, and tomorrow someone escapes because of old age, illness, physical discomfort, etc., will he kill or not?

Wei Qing hesitated for a long time. He really couldn't bear to kill this old man, but military law was ruthless, and not killing was really not enough to govern the army. His hand caressed the hilt of the sword, and the palms of his hands were hot.

Zhao Lili waited for a long time, but he didn't see Wei Qing speak, and he already knew the reason in his heart. He sighed: "Guerrilla lord, the crime of strength is unforgivable, since he has been arrested, it is not enough for the guerrilla lord to govern the army if he does not kill, and the guerrilla lord is not to blame for his strength." ”

Wei Qing's heart was sad. He secretly hates that little Dutong in his heart, so you can't pretend that you can't catch it, won't it be over? Now that we've reached this point, it's impossible not to kill.

He slowly dismounted and came to Zhao Lili: "The military law is ruthless, I have to kill you." If you have anything to explain, I'll do it, and as long as I can do it, I'll do it for you. ”

Two tears flowed from Zhao Lili's cloudy eyes, and he looked into the distance, his heart had flown to his home. His wife must be mourning and suffering again, worried that he can't withstand the wind and frost, and his only daughter, Zhao Yueru, may also be weeping with her mother. He closed his eyes in pain, and the broken roof of his home, the big yellow dog as old as him, the sad face of his wife, and the pretty face of his daughter came to mind.

He is not worried about anything else now, but he is worried, after his death, who will accompany his daughter when she gets married? In order to take care of herself and her wife, her daughter has long passed the age of marriage, other people's daughters have been married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, her daughter is seventeen years old this year, and she is still not married, although the matchmaker continues to come to the door, she has been unwilling to talk about marriage, just because her parents are older, although her mother is more than ten years younger than her father, but she is already in poor physical strength and is constantly sick, so she would rather not marry. In the future, he will never see his lively and lovely daughter again.

He sighed, took out a small package from his arms, and held it high: "Guerrilla lord, Li Li only received a sum of silver when he was forcibly conscripted into the army, counting four taels and five cents and seven cents, and he has never dared to spend it indiscriminately. My family lives in Zhaojia Village, Yongxin County, the old wife's name is Zhao Yan's, and the youngest daughter's name is Zhao Yueru. ”

Wei Qing's eyes also closed. He was afraid that he would cry in public. Four taels and five dollars and seven cents, buying a human life! This money is not enough money for a plate of small dishes for dignitaries and dignitaries, but Zhao Lili has been kept to this day, and when he is dying, he has to ask others to bring it to his home to subsidize the family. Who is causing these people to suffer? Even if the Jin army is defeated, will the suffering of the people be over?

He gritted his teeth fiercely, he couldn't figure out these things for a while, and he didn't have time to think about them here slowly. He solemnly stretched out his hand to take the package, put it firmly in his arms, pulled out his sword, cut off one of his clothes, and stretched out his fingers on the blood on the corpse of Jin Jun next to him and slowly wrote: "Zhao Lili, four taels and five coins and seven cents of silver, sent to Zhaojia Village, Yongxin County, his wife's name is Zhao Yan, and his daughter Zhao Yueru." After writing, show Zhao Lili: "Don't worry, I will write down all of these one by one, I will definitely bring them, and I will not break my promise!" ”

Zhao Youshou narrowed his dim eyes and looked at it carefully, and said: "The guerrilla memory is good, and the matter is over, please punish the guerrillas." I strongly wish the guerrillas to make persistent efforts to drive the Jin people away as soon as possible and recover our Dahan rivers and mountains! ”

Wei Qing's tears couldn't be stopped any longer, and he hurriedly turned around.

"Take it down, kill!" The small capital on the side issued an order.

"Slow!" Wei Qing stopped his soldiers, and he slowly turned around, "Since I have already said that I will kill him with my own hands, I will do what I say." Let me do it. ”
