Chapter 333: Former Brothers

Seeing the traitor Sang Xianhe killed by an arrow, the morale of the soldiers of the Sui army suddenly soared, shouted and cheered, and vigorously swung their swords, guns, halberds and spears fiercely into the Tang army's military formation.

The morale of the 3,000 Tang Army soldiers plummeted and the morale of the army was unstable, among them, there were many people who were originally Sui Army soldiers, and they chose to stay in Tongguan before they surrendered with Sang Xianhe to join the Tang Army.

This time, they followed the Tang Army to intercept and kill the brothers of life and death in the past, they were not very willing, but under the military order, they had to come. Now as soon as he saw his backbone, Sang Xianhe was shot to death by his former brothers in life and death as a traitor, and suddenly the rabbit died and the fox was sad, his heart was sad, and he had no desire to fight, so he urged the horse to turn around and run.

The defense of the officers and men of the Tang Army suddenly showed loopholes, and they were even disrupted by their own people who turned back. The general surnamed Zhou was immediately overjoyed, and seized the opportunity to shout, "Brothers, rush with me!" ”

I saw that he was holding a seven-foot long knife, roared angrily, and urged the horse to kill the enemy first. A seventy-eight-pound long knife was made to lift as light as he was, flying up and down all the way, the knife light overflowed, and blood splashed.

The generals surnamed Zhou slashed left and right all the way, just like Shura was in the world, passing along the way, the blockers were all mutilated and disabled, and all of them were terrified, and the survivors urged the horses to retreat, in order to temporarily avoid this bloody Shura and save their lives.

Thousands of soldiers of the Sui army followed closely behind, stabbing spears with guns, slashing with knives and smashing shields, shouting all the way, fighting all the way, and being extremely brave.

Soon, 3,000 officers and men of the Tang Army suffered heavy casualties and fell into complete chaos, and the survivors turned their horses and fled frantically towards their rear camp.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Sui army who made a detour to the left were also very brave, and under the leadership of the generals, they shouted all the way and fiercely slaughtered among the officers and soldiers of the Tang army. The thousands of soldiers that Dou Cong had just gathered had not had time to line up and sort out, and they had already been rampaging by them, killing people on their backs.

The general surnamed Zhou was fierce, and after breaking away the 3,000 Tang soldiers who were blocking the road, he followed and killed all the way, and also entered the Tang army's military formation.

The officers and men of the Tang Army, who were already in an irregular formation and fighting separately, were once again completely confused by the impact of their own people, and then they were killed by the generals surnamed Zhou and others who followed in shock, and suddenly the army's heart was lost, and they scattered and fled.

...

More than an hour later, this tragic battle finally came to an end.

The 15,000 officers and men of the Tang Army, except for Duan Xuanzhi, who led 3,000 soldiers to flee when he saw that the situation was not good, and those who took advantage of the chaos to flee on their own, nearly 10,000 were killed and wounded, including more than 4,000 killed in battle, nearly 6,000 were wounded and captured, and the main general Dou Cong was also killed on the spot.

The soldiers of the Sui army also suffered nearly 7,000 casualties, of which 1,000 soldiers led by the general surnamed Zhou who came to support were killed and about 1,500 were injured.

Of the 5,000 Sui soldiers who chose to follow Qu Tutong to break through and evacuate, there were less than 1,000 people who could still stand intact at this time, including 2,000 injured and about 2,300 dead.

As for the soldiers of the Sui Army who surrendered before the battle, the soldiers of the Tang Army who survived and escaped had already abandoned them, and most of them remained at the scene except for a small number of those who took advantage of the chaos to escape, nearly 24,000 or so.

However, their weapons such as armor have long been disarmed by the Tang Army, and these things have been taken over by the generals surnamed Zhou at this time.

At this time, all of them had lost their minds, neither dared to run away, nor dared to resist, all of them were pale and trembling, silently waiting for disposal.

"How's the general?" Outside the tent of the temporary wounded barracks, seeing the military doctor walking out of the tent, the general surnamed Zhou and Fang Yanzao hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Qu Tutong was extremely brave, but his fists were difficult to defeat his four hands after all, they had been besieged by too many Tang soldiers before, and he was accidentally cut on the left shoulder by a Tang army soldier with a spear.

"No problem for now! The wound is not very deep, it does not hurt the tendons, and it is good to recuperate for a while. ”

The doctor in the army wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "The general is too tired, he is already asleep at this time, if the two generals want to meet the general, please wait!"

The two of them immediately stopped their steps, Fang Yanzao thought for a while, and said, "In that case, General Zhou, let's go to the big tent to discuss the aftermath first!" The Tang army has already taken all the surrounding counties, and we really shouldn't stay here for too long, so we need to make arrangements as soon as possible. ”

The general surnamed Zhou didn't think much about it, and nodded in agreement.

The two immediately turned around and walked to the big tent, summoned all the middle and senior generals in the army, and after some inquiries and understanding, the general surnamed Zhou bowed his hand to Fang Yanzao and said: "The contemptible person is a rough person, I really don't know what to do with the more than 20,000 soldiers, and I ask Mr. Fang to teach me!"

Fang Yanzao nodded, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Let's beat them all into prisoners!" Deal with them like those Don soldiers! ”

"Isn't that okay?"

A general surnamed Li was a little unbearable, and said: "After all, they are our former comrades-in-arms, brothers in life and death in the past, isn't it a bit too much to beat them as prisoners of war?"

Fang Yanzao shook his head, "Although they are brothers in the past, since the moment they abandoned their weapons in front of the battle and surrendered to the Tang army, they have abandoned their past feelings and are already our enemies, and now that the Tang army is defeated, then they can only be prisoners of the defeated army!" ”

The general surnamed Li suddenly stopped speaking, and the other generals were also silent, and even some generals showed extremely resentful expressions.

At the important juncture of the confrontation between the two armies, once such a thing happens in the ranks, it will definitely cause turmoil in the morale of the army and defeat itself without a fight.

As Fang Yanzao said, from the moment those people abandoned their weapons and surrendered in front of the battle, they had already abandoned all the previous brotherhood, and they were no longer comrades-in-arms or brothers.

They are even more hateful than Sang Xianhe and others, Sang Xianhe and others came to hunt down and kill themselves, and that was also after the surrender of the Tang Army, which is already their own master, there is nothing to say.

But they knew the consequences, but they still chose to abandon their weapons and surrender before the confrontation between the two armies, which was to force their brothers who did not have the same heart with them to die, and they did not intend to leave a way for themselves and others to survive at all.

It was they who had already been unrighteous in the first place, and now they were only beaten as prisoners, which was already very preferential treatment for them.

Seeing that the generals didn't speak, Fang Yanzao thought for a while, and said: "In this battle, many of our brothers were injured, their movements remain the same, and it is difficult for them to travel long distances, they need these captives as coolies, otherwise it will be difficult for us to lead them to Donglai City."

"Then decide so! Beat them all into captives! ”

After making a decision, the general surnamed Zhou couldn't help but sigh, and his expression was very depressed.
