When all the rogues collapsed, Li Bei, the general soldier of Ruzhou, took the deputy general Liu Zhaoji, the guerrilla Luo Dai and others, and hurriedly killed them from the north gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

", I didn't expect the thief who entered the dog to rout so quickly, but we were a step too late."

Li Bei saw that he led his troops to battle, but he could only help others clean up the battlefield, and he was quite ashamed in his heart. Liu Zhaoji, Luo Dai and others on the side all had Hao color on their faces.

At this time, Niu Biao, the captain of the family who led Li Xiaojun to arrive, hurried over and immediately reported to Li Bei that Li Xiaojun led his troops to help and defeat the old Hui Ministry.

Hearing that it was Li Xiao, the general soldier of Shandong Chifeng, who was famous for his bravery and good fighting, and personally led the army to help, Li Bei, Liu Zhaoji, Luo Dai and others were all surprised and happy.

"Ruzhou General Soldier Li Bei, see General Li Bing!"

"Adjutant General Liu Zhaoji.。。。。。。"

"Guerrilla Luo Dai 。。。。。"

A group of Nanyang guards bowed down and stood in a long row, welcoming Li Xiao's arrival in the most respectful posture.

Li Bei, the chief soldier of Ruzhou, and Li Xiao, the chief soldier of Chifeng, are considered to be of the same level, so they don't need to pay respects, but he greeted Li Xiao so humbly, in this way, to show his deep gratitude.

Li Xiao nodded to them and gave his hand, which was regarded as a return gift.

"General Li's troops defeated the enemy, and they have worked hard from afar, please follow Li into the city to rest quickly." Li Bei respectfully made a letter of welcome.

"No need." Li Xiao waved his hand and made a gesture of refusal: "Now that the old Hui Hui Department has been wiped out, please ask General Li to quit his hard work, and together with Li, quickly send troops to Zhenping County, and strive to destroy the enemy again!" ”

Li Bei was taken aback: "General Li Bing, you have traveled far here, and after this hard battle, besides, it is getting late now, why don't you rest in Nanyang City for one night, and then send troops tomorrow, it is not too late." ”

"No, such a good opportunity is no longer lost, and now is the time to beat the water dogs. If the remnants of the cavalry of the old Hui Hui Department fled to Zhenping County to join the scorpion block, it would only make it difficult for our army to attack, and it was still necessary to attack immediately overnight, so as not to give the rogues a little respite. ”

Seeing that Li Xiao was so resolute, Li Bei had no choice but to rely on him, and he arched his hand and said: "General Li soldiers, then I will leave Luo guerrilla to lead 500 local soldiers and horses in Nanyang to defend the city, and the remaining 2,500 soldiers and horses, led by this soldier, all went to Zhenping County overnight with General Li Bing. ”

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Okay, General Li is really a cheerful person, then please lead the way in front of your department, and rush to Zhenping County with our army." ”

Li Xiao arranged for the wounded soldiers and hundreds of soldiers to stay behind to clean up the battlefield and count the baggage. Immediately afterward, he set out with his army.

At this time, the guerrilla Luo Dai came over and urgently whispered: "Lord Li, now there are as many as 8,000 old Hui Liukou captured by your department. ”

As soon as Li Xiao groaned, he immediately ordered that the eight thousand old Hui Hui thieves be taken with them and escorted to Zhenping County by the departing army.

Li Bei said suspiciously: "General Li Bing, what do you mean by taking Lao Hui to the Hui Department prisoner and escorting him to Zhenping County?" ”

Li Xiao's face was as heavy as iron, and he said coldly: "Kill chickens and scare monkeys." ”

Seeing that Li Bei was still suspicious, Li Xiao sneered and added: "I heard that their doctrine says that these old Hui tribe rogues whose hands are stained with the blood of my innocent Central Plains people can still go to heaven after death!" In that case, let us be good people to the end, and send them to heaven to meet their God for free. ”

After listening to Li Xiao's words, Li Bei immediately understood, and then together with Li Xiao, with 2,500 soldiers, set off to Zhenping County overnight.

The coalition army composed of Li Xiaobu, Zu Dale Bu, and Li Beibu marched all the way to the southwest in the direction of Zhenping County.

The Ming army that lit the torch and marched overnight was like a long fire dragon, winding through the cold and dark night.

In fact, in ancient China, there are very few records of marching and fighting at night. Because the ancients did not eat enough meat and lacked vitamin B2, most people had night blindness, so it was difficult to move at night. It's just that this is an emergency period, and of course Li Xiao has to overcome this difficulty.

Li Xiao arranged for all the soldiers to light more torches, and let the soldiers with good night vision lead the way in front, so the marching speed of the entire army was not much slower than during the day.

Because the army was marching at full speed, there were constantly prisoners who were left behind and could not keep up. As soon as they saw that there were prisoners left behind, the Ming soldiers who escorted them did not say a word, and immediately killed them on the spot and abandoned their bodies on the side of the road.

During the cold and difficult night journey, Li Xiao suddenly remembered an allusion.

That is, during the Tang Dynasty, the story of Li Shimin's forced landing on Xue Rengao.

In November of the first year of Wude (618), Li Shimin led the Tang army to defeat Zong Luohu, the general of Xue Rengao, the overlord of Western Qin, in the shallow water plain. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin ordered them to muster up their remaining courage and immediately march to Gaoqi City, the main city where Xue Rengao was entrenched.

Li Shimin's uncle Dou Liang was shocked, tightly grabbed Li Shimin's horse's head, and persuaded bitterly: "King Qin, the thief leader Xue Rengao, still has a strong city, and there are many soldiers and horses under his command, although our army defeated Zong Luohu, but the soldiers are also exhausted, but they can't rush forward so easily, and ask the King of Qin to hold his troops for the time being, watch the enemy's movements, and then act not too late." ”

Unexpectedly, Dou Liang persuaded him so hard, but Li Shimin was not moved at all, he shook his head and said: "Uncle is kind, nephew is good." It's just that although the people of the world are not talented, they also know that since ancient times, meritorious deeds are difficult to succeed and easy to lose, and good opportunities are rare and easy to lose. I've made up my mind, so my uncle won't say anything more. ”

So, Li Shimin led the army and hurried to Gaoqi City. Then, they formed a formation under the city and surrounded the high jaw city.

Tang Jun's fierce fighting style made Xue Rengao's whole army fearful. During the several days of besieging the city, there were constantly generals who led the army and secretly went out of the city to surrender to the Tang army.

Seeing that the morale of the army had been exhausted, Xue Rengao, the overlord of the Western Qin, had no other way, and finally was forced by the pressure of the Tang army to surrender out of the city, and was later tied to Chang'an to be executed, and the Western Qin Empire was destroyed.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao secretly said in his heart, if our army moves quickly and is caught off guard by the scorpion block, perhaps, he can also force land the more than 25,000 scorpion blocks like Li Shimin pressed down on Xue Rengao.

Perhaps, if his own means are ruthless enough, the scorpion block may surrender more quickly.

In the dark night, a faint smile appeared on Li Xiao's face, and his sharp eyes were like starlight shining in the dark night.

The army marched quickly all night, until dawn, all the soldiers of the Ming army finally arrived outside Zhenping County.

In the hazy cold day, the scorpion block soldiers who were wrapped in blankets on the head of the city and were sleepy suddenly heard a large commotion from the northeast.

With their eyes open, they leaned out and looked north, their eyes immediately widening and their mouths opening in an O-shape.

They saw that from the sparse woods in the northeast of Zhenping County, an overwhelming Ming army suddenly came out!

"Oh no! Oh no! Ming Dog is attacking the city! ”

The soldiers defending the city shouted in horror, and there was a panic in the town.

"What is the noise, where did the Ming army come from?!"

In the inner room of the county office, Tuoyangkun, who was sleeping with a snatched woman, was awakened by the shouting outside, he scolded angrily, pushed away the woman next to him, kicked off the thick silk winter quilt, and stood up from the wide carved bed with stripes.

He was in a hurry to get dressed, when he said, "Boom! The door was slammed open, and a sentry stumbled in, and immediately reported loudly in a frightened tone: "King, something is wrong, Ming Gouzi attacked overnight, and now Zhenping County has been surrounded!" ”

"Ah, have you ever seen where this Ming army came from?"

"Your lord, the Ming army is coming from the northeast, and the small one is thinking that it should be from the Nanyang Mansion City and rushed to Zhenping."

The scorpion block was shocked when he heard this, and came from the direction of Nanyang, doesn't that mean that the nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Lao Hui Department have been defeated by the Ming army?!

How is this possible?!

A bone-chilling chill rose from the back of the scorpion block.

The astonished scorpion block quickly put on his armor and went out with the soldiers who reported the news.

Fang went out of the door, and Tuo Xingzhong, the son of the scorpion block Tuoyang Kun, hurriedly walked towards him.

"Father, there are about more than 10,000 people attacking the Ming army, and there are heavy troops at the two gates of Zhenping County, and our army is blocked in the city, unable to advance or retreat, but what should happen to the current situation?" Tuo Xingzhong reported with a solemn face.

The scorpion frowned and said, "Be loyal, and follow me up to the city wall to watch." ”

Immediately, the father and son went up to the north gate of the city wall of Zhenping County, and when they saw the dense and well-formed Ming soldiers on the opposite side, both of them gasped.

"Father, what should I do, do you want to lead the whole army and desperately protrude through the city?" Tuo Xingzhong asked anxiously.

At this time, the expression on the face of the scorpion block was very strange and complicated, but before he could speak, he saw several cavalrymen rushing over from the opposite side, standing still an arrow away, and shouting loudly towards the city: "My army has arrived tomorrow, but I ask which one is the scorpion block?" ”

The scorpion block responded, and the cavalryman sneered: "Scorpion block, you guy, listen well, quickly lead the whole army out of the city and surrender, if you dare not obey, hum, the prisoner of the old Hui Hui department will wait for the end!" ”

The cavalry finished speaking and turned around.

Subsequently, the scorpion block was horrified to see that from the Ming army on the opposite side, along the side of the moat outside the city, a long row of about 200 Lao Hui prisoners was pushed out, each prisoner was escorted by a strong man with a strong chest exposed, and then knelt down along the moat.

"Ready!"

A row of shiny knives or ladder knives, held high.

"Cut!"

A row of knives and ladder knives held high immediately whistled and slashed.

In the sound of a tooth-aching blade severing the neck bone, blood sprayed wildly, and the heads of nearly 100 rogues were suddenly separated from their bodies and fell into the moat, floating in the water like watermelons.

Those headless bodies that were still spurting blood were dragged aside by the soldiers of the Ming army.

When the captives in the Ming army saw this, they immediately let out a loud cry of sorrow, they roared, struggled, scolded, begged for mercy, and kept rushing to escape, but they were tightly tied up, and there was no chance of escape.

Soon, a new platoon of prisoners was dragged out. The next round of slashing of the Ming army began immediately.

"Ready!"

"Cut!"

Another row of heads fell to the ground and rolled into the moat, and the corpses that were still spurting blood were twisted and twisted.

"Father, Ming Dog is so vicious, he is so hot! What should our army do, but what should our army do? Tuo Xingzhong's face changed, and he stammered to the scorpion block Tuo Yangkun.

The muscles on the scorpion's face trembled, and his lips squirmed, but he couldn't say anything.

"Ready!"

"Cut!"

"Ready!"

"Cut!"

。。。。。。

In a short time, the Ming army has cut ten rounds, nearly 2,000 old Hui Hui Liukou headless corpses, piled up into a hill on the side, and at this time in the north moat, is already Yin Hongman, 2,000 Liukou heads, almost covered the entire moat.

"Flutter!"

Next to the scorpion block, a rogue soldier whose legs had been trembling suddenly had a thin yellow color under his crotch, and a foul smell of indigestion immediately filled the city.

The scorpion mass, who was also pale, frowned in disgust, clenched his teeth, but still said nothing.

In the Ming army array opposite, on a high platform, Li Xiao, Zu Dale, and Li Bei sat on the high platform and watched the execution performance in front of them in silence.

These three people have different expressions.

Zu Dale, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, saw such a bloody massacre scene, frowned and tightened his face, with a rather unbearable expression.

Li Bei, the chief soldier of Ruzhou, looked at the prisoner who was executed like this, but his eyes were shining, and his face was also obviously happy. Perhaps, this person is thinking that such a happy execution of the old Hui Hui Liukou can be regarded as revenge for a large number of officers and soldiers of the Southern Road Ming who died in battle and were executed by the Liukou.

And the main general Li Xiao, from beginning to end, his face was calm and his eyes were indifferent, as if he was just watching a drama performance that had nothing to do with it.

The cavalryman came up again and shouted at the city: "Scorpion block, you can't surrender!" ”

The scorpion block showed gritted teeth of resentment on his face, but he still did not speak.

The cavalry sneered, turned around and rode away.

Thus, the riverside massacre continued.

Rows of captives were slaughtered, and their heads rolled into the river.

Ten more rounds of slaughter had passed, and four thousand rogue soldiers had died by the moat.

From the beach to the river, blood overflowed the riverside, and when you look at the past, it is a blinding red. The entire moat was like a river of blood, and the heads that rolled down in it were so dense that it was almost silent.

Seeing these old Hui tribe rogues who were still fighting with themselves in the past, side by side with the Ming army, but now they are like pigs and dogs, wantonly slaughtered by the Ming army, and a low cry sounded over the head of Zhenping City.

"Father, Ming Gouzi is slaughtering like this, the morale of our army has been greatly reduced, if it goes on like this, don't talk about fighting, I'm afraid our army will collapse without a fight." Tuo Xingzhong's voice was low, full of anxiety.

The scorpion block slammed into the battlements of the city wall, and his son's anxiety and the low sobs of the soldiers upset him.

What to do?

Scorpion Block is a rough but inward-looking person, in such a brutal slaughter performance of the Ming army, in fact, his mind is almost blank.

"Scorpion block, you can't descend!"

The cavalryman came and shouted again.

"Don't fall!"

A huge sense of humiliation surged from the heart of the scorpion block, and he blushed and shouted: "Ming Gouzi, what kind of ability is it to slaughter prisoners!" If you have the ability, you will come to fight with Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will accompany you to the end! ”

The scorpion block shouted loudly, but his heart was empty.

Because, none of the surrounding soldiers, including his son Takuyutaka, responded to his own slogans, allowing him to perform alone like a clown.

Li Xiao, who was outside the city, only smiled lightly after hearing the scorpion's angry answer, and then ordered the massacre to continue.

The whole moat is like a river of blood composed of human heads, which has long been drowned, bloody and terrifying, and the sight is terrifying.

After the Ming army outside the city cut another seven or eight rounds, a terrible voice sounded: "General Ming, don't kill it, our army surrenders, surrender!" ”

The one who shouted turned out to be Tuo Xingzhong, the son of the scorpion block.

A smug smile suddenly crossed Li Xiao's face, he shook his finger slightly, and the sergeant next to him immediately agreed and stopped the massacre under the city.
