Whatever you do, you have to pay a price! There is a difference, only the size of the cost.

In order to attract the hurried rescue of Chen Qiyu's department, Daniel Zhang's department under Zuo Liangyu really became the child who couldn't bear the child to fight the wolf.

These soldiers who followed Zuo Liangyu to burn, kill and loot together, and finally rebelled, always thought that Nanyang City was going to be defeated, and the emperor caught it, that is, glory and wealth were in front of him. However, none of them imagined that the general they trusted would sell them.

Not long after the blocking battle began, Daniel Zhang took the lead in escaping. As soon as the coach ran, no matter how high the morale was, it collapsed with an "uproar". The sentence that the army is defeated like a mountain is the most vivid description of Daniel Zhang's department.

Zuo Liangyu, who was ambushed in Wollongong, couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw that his excellent army was being pursued by Chen Qiyu's troops and fled miserably. However, that's all he wanted, and then he thought that Chen Qiyu's troops were really fooled and were chasing and fighting, as long as they stepped into the ambush circle, they would be able to avenge their own troops!

Seeing the vanguard pursued by the Ming army, the banner of the Yongwei battalion, and the handsome banner of Chen Qiyu in the distance was also rushing over here, Zuo Liangyu breathed a sigh of relief, and said proudly to the leaders of the thieves on the side: "Everyone, Lord Chen Qiyu, who once forced them to a dead end, I will be escorted to you in a while, how about you all slap in the face and get angry?" ”

When he was proud, his son Zuo Mengeng was also high-spirited.

He Lao Tzu left him more than 50,000 horses, surrounded Nanyang, and it was the first time to command so many men and horses, to be honest, he was quite excited.

"What?" Zuo Mengeng stood up and asked loudly, "Did the Ming army in the city really start setting fire to the corpses?" ”

"Yes, young marshal, oil has been poured down from the top of the city, and it has begun to burn from the north gate." His guards hurriedly replied, "But there is not enough oil in the city, and they are only burning the north gate now." ”

When Zuo Mengeng heard this, he shouted: "I really take my warning as the wind in my ears!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode out. Just when he got out of the Chinese military tent, he saw the smoke rising in the distance, and even on his side, there was a faint smell of burnt rotten meat.

Seeing the commotion in the surrounding camp of thieves, Zuo Mengeng immediately shouted again: "Pass my military order, let the trebuchet throw those corpses into the city, immediately, immediately!" ”

In fact, they didn't use this trick before, not because their father and son were soft-hearted and felt that it was too damaging to yin morality. The real reason is that they need time to build trebuchets. Moreover, to throw the corpse into the city, the trebuchet had to be close to the city walls. This also means that many trebuchets will definitely be destroyed by the defenders at the head of the city, so more trebuchets will be needed and more time will be required to build.

Although the ancients did not know the principle of biochemical warfare, they knew that by doing so, they could infect the people in the city and even cause the plague to become extinct. This is what the Mongols often did when they went west to Europe.

Now that the corpse was going to be burned in Nanyang City, and he didn't listen to the warning, Zuo Mengeng issued this military order.

Then he watched from afar to see the dead bodies thrown into the city.

In front of the bandit camp, the thieves who received the military order had to move, some went to move the dead bodies, and some went to push the catapults.

Among them, the most dangerous for the thieves are those who push the catapults.

Catapults are bulky and slow to push. There is a cannon on the head of the city, even if it misses once, but as the distance advances, the probability of hitting is high. Once the catapult is hit, these people pushing the catapult will either die or be injured.

Next to one of the catapults that was being pushed, a thin man suddenly sighed and said to the other person beside him, "Can we still see the sun tomorrow?" ”

When the man heard this, he sighed, but he still comforted: "So many times, we have not been accepted by the king of Hades, which means that we have a big life and will be fine, don't worry." ”

"Yes, we are fateful, and we survive every time. It's just that the people around you have changed one after another, your fellow countryman, is there anyone still alive? Now, do you think you made the right choice? ”

The one who said this was Sun Hanqing, and the object of his question was Wei Chao.

Wei Chao listened, remembered the excitement of running to tell each other when he heard "Juntian Exemption" in his hometown, remembered the reverence for the future when he defected to King Chuang, and remembered the days before, the elderly stranger ruthlessly exposed the lie of "Juntian Exemption", remembered what he had seen and heard in the past few days, suddenly sighed, and muttered in a low voice: "I'd rather be a Taiping dog than a troubled world!" ”

When the others listened, they were all concerned and stopped talking.

These people were chosen to push this catapult, which means that they are not valued by the leaders of those thieves, and only by living and not dying can they become old thieves and become the subordinates valued by those thieves. By then, you'll be able to eat and drink well, and you won't have to do these dangerous things.

Sun Hanqing was silent for a while, and when he heard the sound of cannons starting to sound at the head of the city, he was not afraid, but just sighed the same and said: "These rotting corpses are thrown into the city, whether it is the emperor, the corrupt officials, or those innocent people, they can be infected with the plague and die." If you do this kind of thing, you will go to eighteen layers of hell after death. I don't know if I can see my father and mother after I die! ”

When Wei Chao heard this, he sighed the same, such an inhumane thing was done, which made him even more impressed with the thief. When he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice, and couldn't help but look up and say in surprise: "The sun is on, but there is thunder, is it going to rain?" ”

However, when he finished speaking, he found that there was no cloud in the sky at all, and the blue sky was just a fiery red sun hanging there. Strangely, he turned his head to look around again, but he didn't find any dark clouds in the sky.

At this time, the sound of cannons on the top of the city stopped, and the city and the city of Nanyang City fell into a short silence, and everyone almost stopped moving, surprised by the rolling thunder.

After a while, the thunder seemed to be getting closer and closer. Everyone heard the direction the sound came from and looked north.

There were also no dark clouds, not even white clouds. However, they saw that at the end of their distant vision, dust was flying, like an earth dragon, sweeping towards them.

"Cavalry! It's the cavalry coming! When someone saw this, they immediately exclaimed in surprise, "There must be countless cavalry troops to make such a big move!" ”

"Yes, it's not the sound of thunder, it's the sound of horses' hooves!" The others shouted in panic.

A while later, I could already faintly see a red line in the distance. The sound of horses' hooves, like thunder, rolled in, endlessly. Even many people felt it, and the earth was shaking.

The Ming army at the head of the city was the first to cheer. They stand tall and see a little more clearly. In fact, there is no need to see it very clearly, because there are so many cavalry troops coming from the north, there is no doubt that they cannot be from the side of the thieves.

Zuo Mengeng knows this even more, because his father brought the main force of the thieves to Wollongong. To the north, there were no cavalry deployed at all, let alone so many cavalry.

Looking at the dust covering the sky, looking at countless figures, and listening to the sound of horses' hooves knocking on the bottom of his heart, Zuo Menggeng's face was like earth. thought he knew, don't talk about him, even if the main army was here, it would definitely not be able to stop so many cavalry. What's more, the other thieves were forced to obey his father's command.

At this time, he didn't think about it at all, to resist these cavalry, when he saw the back of the war horses coming from afar, there were a number of elite Ming soldiers, the fierce momentum of the oncoming rush, frightened him immediately galloped to his own war horse, and quickly fled for his life.

The army of 50,000 thieves outside Nanyang City looked like a lot, but at this moment, it was like a barracks made of sand, and it was scattered and collapsed when it was washed by the water.

No thief dared to stay outside Nanyang City, and no thief dared to go to the mantis arm as a car. The majesty of this cavalry army alone could not withstand it.

Of course, these thieves are all foot soldiers, and even because of the limited food, those thieves who originally planned to have no war today are all hungry and eat little by little every day. That's it, where did he get the combat power, and he didn't even have the strength to escape. The 50,000 thieves had not yet fled, and countless cavalry troops had already rushed over.

Sun Hanqing suddenly stopped running, and muttered to himself: "Or if you die like this, maybe you can see your father and mother again!" ”

When Wei Chao heard it, he immediately pulled him and said: "It's better to die than to live, run quickly, the officials and soldiers can't kill it, maybe you can live!" ”

"If you're dead, you're dead, it's too tiring to be alive!" Sun Hanqing stopped after being pulled by him for a few steps, shook his head and said.

When Wei Chao heard this, he yelled at him and said, "Your Sun family won't pass on the ancestry?" ”

"Inheritance?" When Sun Hanqing heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I still want to glorify my ancestors!" But is it possible? In this world, soldiers and thieves are not separated, we are the fish and meat on their blades! What's more, we are thieves, and the officials and soldiers have killed us, do we still have our lives? ”

As he spoke, his mouth suddenly opened in surprise. Wei Chao also felt that something was wrong, turned his head to look, and suddenly stood in surprise.

I saw that the imperial cavalry army that was already approaching them turned out to be a configuration of one person and two horses, but they didn't stop, and passed directly through their periphery. Just roll up the dust and pounce on them. It's as if the cavalry didn't see them at all, when they didn't exist.

"......" Wei Chao and Sun Hanqing were stunned, a little unbelieving what they saw in front of them, so many people were ignored by this cavalry?

The defenders at the head of the city didn't seem to think that when they saw this situation, they were puzzled in their hearts, could it be that this Ming army didn't care about Nanyang, just passing by?

But then, behind the one-man two-horse cavalry, more cavalry appeared, and this time, it was no longer one man and two horses.

Seeing that the countless cavalry ignored them, the thieves reacted after staying for a while, and many of them ran away from the path of this cavalry.

However, at this time, a cavalry army was separated from the large army, about more than a thousand horsemen, and rushed straight to Nanyang City.

Before the cavalry arrived, the thieves in front of them ran to both sides, making way for a road, and no one thought of fighting or blocking the way, saying something like "I drove this mountain, I want to pass through here, and leave the money to buy the road." They just think they can run as far as they can.

"If you don't want to die, abandon your weapons and surrender, and squat down with your head in your hands! ...... who don't want to die"

This cavalry army rushed to the foot of Nanyang City while shouting, but it did not come close, because they were all rotting corpses and the stench was stinking. However, they had a military order, and they still shouted at the head of the city: "The emperor has an order, the Yongwei battalion immediately leaves the city and goes to Wollongong, and the rest of the army goes out of the city to collect and surrender to the thieves!" ”

The movement had already been heard, and the two commanders of the Yongwei Battalion, who had rushed to the city, had just heard this will, and both of them were overjoyed. They knew that the emperor was laying out outside, but they didn't know where the emperor got so many war horses and brought so many cavalry, so where else could these thieves run!

The morale of the defenders rose immediately after this decree was shouted.

What they were concerned about was that the emperor had really come, but not in the city, but outside the city, and had brought so many cavalry. Just one appearance, and the thieves outside the city will collapse!

Spontaneously, the voices on the head of the city, from low to high, soon thundered with joy: "Wan Sheng! Victory ......"

Wei Chao and Sun Hanqing were near the cavalry army outside the city, and after hearing the shout, they couldn't help but be very surprised, the two of them looked inside the city, and then looked outside the city, quite speechless, didn't they say that the emperor was in the city? Why did you run out of town?

However, this doubt was quickly put away by them, and there was no need to throw the ordnance, because the two of them didn't have it, they both paused, holding their heads in their hands, among which Wei Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a little doubt: "It should be possible to see tomorrow's sun again, right?" ”

He was wondering, the thief's actual president leader Zuo Liangyu, when he was a little earlier, he was also puzzled. Because of Chen Qiyu's striker, he stopped after chasing to Taniguchi.

Could it be that what did they find? Zuo Liangyu thought so, and hurriedly looked at the ambush circle he had laid out, and found no problem!

When the other thief leaders heard this, they immediately gloated, and Yin and Yang angrily damaged Zuo Liangyu, saying that he had lost his wife and broken his army!

Zuo Liangyu was a little annoyed and angry, but he still held on to some hope and said, "It should be waiting for the Governor to arrive and then chase and kill together!" ”

Thinking so, he continued to wait for a while.

However, Zuo Liangyu was then disappointed. Chen Qiyu's Chinese army arrived at the side of Taniguchi and joined the forward, but there was still no movement.

This time, he felt that something was wrong, he couldn't wait for the rear army, right? That's impossible!
