Chapter 177: To Kill, or Not to Kill (Fourth Update)
(The fourth more is delivered!) Today has been updated with 12,000 words, what do I want, you know!
PS: The next update, it is expected to be around half past ten. )
After Gongsun He and Le Yi deliberately made a cut, King Zuoxian, who had broken through the encirclement many times, saw the opportunity and hurriedly protected the angry prince Yu Dan and killed him from the siege.
In fact, it is a bit inappropriate to say that it is killed. Because this time, they thought that they had seen the weakness of the Han army, and they did not encounter much resistance from the Han army. If this had happened before, the heavy cavalry of the hussar battalion, the nightmare of the Hun cavalry present, would have rushed from far and near, and a few charges would have scattered them and crushed them. But this time, although the heavy cavalry of the Han people also looked like they were assembled, they did not mean to rush over to block them at all.
It seems that you didn't get together in time?
King Zuo Xian can't take care of these, it's only serious to rush out first if he has a vacancy! After rushing out, you can live, as long as you live, there is still hope for everything, and if you are trapped in this encirclement, you can only wait for death! Although there were already 10,000 Hun reinforcements coming to the rescue before, and King Zuo Xian had also tried to lead people to rush over to join them, but his efforts proved to be futile, and the Han army's counter-charge was more fierce than they imagined, and they had no chance at all!
In the end, it's just a few more deaths, some people are dying!
So this time, King Zuo Xian rushed very hard, until he broke out of the encirclement and rushed out for a mile or two, and King Zuo Xian dared to look back at the Han army behind him.
First of all, what King Zuo Xian saw was a large group of Hun cavalry rushing out after them, and it seemed that there were thousands of people no matter what. Seeing this, King Zuo Xian breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, so many people rushed out, and it was not considered that the whole army was wiped out.
Then his gaze moved back again, and King Zuo Xian saw the heavy cavalry of the Han army that was rushing towards the gap from both sides - after an unforgettable battle, King Zuo Xian had already memorized these heavy cavalry in his heart, and many Hun cavalry who wanted to rush out behind them were rushed by the heavy cavalry of the Han army, and suddenly the ghost cried wolf, and the formation was chaotic!
And that opening that is not big or small was also resealed by the Han cavalry at this time!
King Zuo Xian breathed a sigh of relief again, and secretly congratulated himself that he was lucky to run fast enough, if not, he would definitely die here today.
"King Zuoxian, look ahead!" King Zuo Xian, who was looking behind, suddenly heard the exclamation of the prince Yu Shan beside him. When he looked back, he couldn't relax anymore with a sigh of relief, and the stone he had just put down in his heart was hanging again!
A mile or two away in front of them, the Han troops who were still fighting with their reinforcements had already turned around and began to pounce on them!
That's nearly 10,000 Han riders!
Zuo Xianwang's heart suddenly became cold and transparent, his lips couldn't help but tremble twice, and the hand holding the knife was also tight!
"King Zuoxian, what should I do? Let's go our separate ways! The crown prince was in a big mess, and he panicked.
Being shouted by the crown prince Yu Dan, King Zuo Xian took a deep breath, but calmed down. He subconsciously glanced down at the blood-dripping long knife in his hand, the wolf nature in his temperament was stimulated after a long period of suppression, he raised his head and glanced at the Han army rushing over on the opposite side, the long knife waved, and shouted: "Retreat is death, advance is death!" The warriors of the Great Huns cannot die on the way back, and if they want to die, they must have the enemy's back! Warriors, charge! ”
Finally broke out, and finally saw a glimmer of life of the Hun cavalry, how could they give up in the face of hope, was mobilized by King Zuoxian, and came up ruthlessly, all of them clenched the long knives in their hands, "whooping" shouted "Kunlun God", and rushed towards the Han army on the opposite side!
There is a strong tendency to not be afraid of death!
The two armies are about to meet each other, a big war is about to break out, and a tragic melee is inevitable!
But then, a scene that made them jaw-dropping appeared! The Han army in front of them did not rush towards them directly, but when they were hundreds of zhang away, they split into two sides and ran past them, ignoring them completely!
There are thousands of Han troops, and no one looks at them!
What's going on?
These four or five thousand Huns were completely confused about the situation.
This is not a fight?
Say you won't fight if you don't fight?
At least say hello and leave, what's the matter with just passing by, I don't know and think I'm related to you......
Without waiting for Zuo Xianwang and the others to react, Wei Qing led the Han army to run like a wind, leaving only the blood stains on the horse's hooves on the ground.
"Aren't the Han people going to retire?" Prince Yu Shan was uncertain.
King Zuo Xian looked left and right, and did not find where there were Xiongnu reinforcements, since there were no Xiongnu reinforcements, the Han army had no reason to retreat. So he shook his head decisively and said to the prince Yu Dan: "The Han people are when they are powerful, and it is impossible to retreat. ”
"And why did they do this?" Yu Shan didn't understand.
King Zuo Xian pondered for a while, but didn't come up with a reason, and finally had to say: "The Han people are scheming, I can't say what kind of insidious plan they have." I'll leave him alone, as long as I get out of here, it's safe, and it's better to leave as soon as possible! ”
Yu Shan suddenly said: "King Zuo Xian is really insightful, admire!" ”
King Zuo Xian waved his hand and said modestly: "It's less than one ten-thousandth of the prince." ”
At this time, Ixher led nearly 10,000 cavalry to rush from the front. So far, the two armies have successfully converged!
When Prince Yu Shan saw Yi Xue'er, he immediately felt a sense of kindness from his heart, as if the person in front of him was suddenly born countless times more beautiful! Under this kind of psychology, the prince Yu Shan felt that he should come out with his identity as the prince, and thanked the Wang sister in front of him on behalf of the thousands of sergeants who escaped death behind him, so he drove his horse a few steps faster, hugged his fist to Yi Xueer and said: "Sister Wang, you came just in time, if it weren't for you today, I would have to hate here, Brother Wang thanked you in advance on behalf of everyone." ”
After the prince Yushan finished this modest and polite behavior, he only felt that he was too talented! In this way, he also took this opportunity to ease his relationship with this Wang Mei, who had never been on the wrong path with him. After all, he is about to succeed to the throne, and it is always good to have one more person to support him. Yu Shan thought so.
But what she didn't expect was that as soon as Yi Xue'er approached, her face was dark, her eyes were glaring, and she was scolded for her head and face, and she hated it: "Stupid, what have you all done?" Have you not noticed that there are still thousands of soldiers who have been surrounded and have not come out? Running so quickly to go back and pour a night pot for your wife and children?! Don't you understand, you're running away?! ”
As soon as Yi Xue'er scolded these words, everyone was immediately stunned!
We've been surrounded for so long, is it wrong for us to break through? Break out, don't you run, do you wait for the Han army to catch up and kill us? How did this become a deserter?
The most important thing is that what does this have to do with going home to pour a night pot for my wife and children?
Looking at the stunned crowd, Yi Xue'er was so angry that she simply closed her eyes, too lazy to look at these people.
"That, Sister Wang, what's wrong with this?" Prince Yushan wondered. His question asked everyone behind him to be puzzled, and everyone had a look of great disapproval. I almost didn't help together: "yes, yes, what's wrong with this?" ”
Yi Xue'er opened her eyes suddenly when she heard this, and fiercely despised the stupid pig-like brother in front of her, and felt that she was really wasting her eyes after despising it, but as soon as she saw that everyone was like this after Yu was single, Yi Xueer felt that she was really a nest of bears, and everyone was brought into a nest of stupid pigs for you!
"Look back for yourself!" Yi Xue'er said coldly, and after speaking, she was worried that they would not understand what she meant, and added: "Because you only care about running away by yourself, none of the remaining thousands of Hun warriors can survive!" ”
After that, Ixher didn't want to stay with these people anymore, and rode back to her snow wolf army.
Of course, no one noticed that a tear slipped down her face as Icher turned around after saying that last sentence......
......
In the end, the four or five thousand Hun cavalry and Yi Xue'er's snow wolf spirit cavalry who broke through from King Zuo Xian could only watch from a distance as if more than 30,000 Han troops were chopping melons and vegetables, and they would be cut down by the thousands of Hun cavalry surrounded by them!
However, some Hun cavalry surrendered. In this regard, Qin Cheng's policy is - no forgiveness for killing!
The Han army came to carry out long-distance raids, not to absorb the Huns, they did not have extra food and troops to take care of these Huns, and of course there was no place. Taking them with you is completely an act of looking for death, this kind of thing, Qin Cheng will not do it!
The more fierce the enemy, the stronger the deterrent power against the enemy! Of course, at the price, there will be no more captives in the future! If you become a captive and you want to be killed, who wants to die?
Qin Cheng watched coldly as his soldiers gathered the three or two thousand Huns who surrendered, and thousands of cavalry around him aimed at them with bows and arrows, without any pity in his eyes.
In the end, Gongsun He, who was still unfamiliar with Qin Cheng, couldn't help but step forward and dissuade him: "General Qin, the Han Dynasty is a state of etiquette, not a bombing of Qin, how can you kill prisoners?" Please stop it quickly! Don't ruin Your Majesty's name of benevolence. ”
Qin Cheng glanced at Gongsun He quietly, this general who had just fought very hard, the battle armor on his body already had several cracks, and there were also bandaged wounds on his arms, he said: "Then may I ask General Gongsun, when I wait for a long-distance attack to the north, do you intend to give up your qualifications to participate in the war to ensure that these captives do not mutiny?" Are your troops willing to feed these people with their own rations and kill more than a thousand of your enemies? ”
At this time, there were only 30,000 people left in the original 40,000 Han army, and because of the dangerous role played by Li Guang, less than half of the soldiers who could fight were left!
At this time, the 30,000 Han army was already facing the north, even if there was another Xiongnu army to kill, even if the Han army could not guarantee victory, at least it could retreat!
In the distance, the snow wolf elite cavalry and four or five thousand Hun soldiers of Yi Xue'er's department were looking at each other from a distance, and their appearance was quite suspicious. It can be seen that there should be a Hun army after that, and the number should not be less.
Gongsun He listened to Qin Cheng's questioning, he was speechless for a while, stunned, and finally said: "This time the northern attack on the Xiongnu, we have already won a big victory, and all the troops have suffered a lot of losses, do we still have to fight this battle?" ”
