Chapter 275: The Great War Ends
Riding down the mountain, on the cyan horse, a tall man covered in blood rushed towards Lu Shi from afar.
When I got closer, I saw it clearly, it turned out to be Geng Kui, who Lu Shi was obsessed with and worried.
When the brothers on both sides saw each other, they inevitably cheered again.
Lu Shi looked at the only fifty or so horsemen left behind Geng Kui, and felt distressed, but Geng Kui laughed and said loudly: "Don't feel distressed by the military advisor, the general died before the battle, and the soldiers died in a hundred battles, this is common sense, everyone has this awareness, not to mention, our few hundred brothers will drive the governor of the three sides Yang He to the head of the rat, that is really a very happy thing."
The officers and troops retreated, and the Woniushan brothers won, but it was a pyrrhic victory.
The brothers began to nervously search for the surviving fathers and brothers on the battlefield, gathering together their comrades who had been separated.
Lu Shi came to the place where he had a conversation with Zhao Dahai, where there was only a piece of armor that had been trampled on thousands of times, and a familiar broken spear, Zhao Dahai had no bones and blood left, Lu Shi stood in front of this pile of tattered armor, silent for a long time, but in addition to staying behind, every brother came over, and he would spit on the pile of armor.
Lu Shi found a broken knife, dug a small pit in the frozen soil on the spot, pushed the pile of tattered armor into the pit, looked at the broken spear, shook his head gently, and buried it with those armor.
Geng Kui was helping on the side, but he didn't speak, just now, he already knew what Zhao Dahai had done, and for Zhao Dahai, Geng Kui had no resentment in his heart but only regret, regretting a man who was originally iron-clad.
After burying Zhao Dahai, Lu Shi looked for his sister-in-law's body again, but it had long been gone, and even a corner of his clothes was difficult to identify, so he had to give up, and wait for the future to write a tablet and bury it with Zhang Laoshi.
During this period, Lu Shi inquired in detail about Geng Kui's actions during this period of time.
Yesterday, Geng Kui took his cavalry brothers to kill and disperse the fire commanders and crossbowmen, and he had suffered heavy losses, and he couldn't fight anymore, so he originally wanted to turn over and kill back to his own position, but there were too many officers and soldiers, and Guo Tianxing also took his brothers to retreat, getting farther and farther away from him, and couldn't support each other, so Geng Kui took the opportunity to make a decision and killed towards the weakest rear of the official army.
Fight your way out of the encirclement, take advantage of the cold of the officers and soldiers to get rid of the pursuers, and dismount in the woods behind a hill to rest.
At that time, after counting, there were only more than 80 people left, and they were all wounded, and after the repeated battles in the morning battle, they couldn't even hold a knife.
A Wu commander asked Geng Kui what to do, according to the big guy's mind is to rest for a while, everyone will turn over and kill back to the battlefield, even if they die with their brothers, but Geng Kui held the knife and thought for a while, and resolutely decided not to return to the battlefield, he was left with these eighty brothers, and it would not be of much help to return to the battlefield.
After gaining everyone's consent, and after resting for a while, Geng Kui and his brothers began to move westward, judging that in the afternoon or evening, the brigade would definitely break through to the west.
The attention of the officers and soldiers was on the old camp in the encirclement, and the outer defense was quite lax, Geng Kui took advantage of this opportunity to safely hide in the woods of a mountain pass to the west, waiting for the brigade to break through.
In the afternoon, there was no battle on the battlefield, which strengthened Geng Kui's judgment, when the south was killing and shaking the sky at night, there was no news from the west, everyone was anxious, thinking that the old camp had broken through in the south, and asked Geng Kui to take his brothers to the south to meet the old camp.
However, Geng Kui shook his head firmly and disagreed, he knew best the combat effectiveness of his Black Tiger Army, and he also knew the original strategic plan best, to the south, it was definitely just a feint, and the west was the focus. However, the brothers who were sent out to investigate soon reported that there was a black tiger flag in the south, a banner with a broken word, and a white-robed figure of the military division was faintly seen in the battle group, which surprised Geng Kui, could it be that the military division really broke through to the south?
But when I asked the brothers who were investigating, I didn't see the old battalion following, especially the men and horses who broke through the encirclement were just fighting again and again in the three encirclements, but they couldn't break through the encirclement.
At that time, Geng Kui was relieved.
With the ability of Guo Tianxing and the courage of the Black Tiger Army, it is impossible for the more than 5,000 Ding officers and soldiers to stay behind at all, and such repeated battles can only show that Guo Tianxing is attracting reinforcements from the officials and troops in the west.
Just when everyone was anxiously waiting, the officers and troops in the west began to mobilize reinforcements from the south, and Geng Kui ordered everyone to get up and prepare for battle.
Sure enough, the old battalion's breakthrough in the west began, and Geng Kui's brothers were eager to try and kill the enemy, but Geng Kui still stopped everyone, hoping that he could play a role at the most critical time.
When he saw a large number of border troops coming from the north, Geng Kui's first judgment was that something had happened to Zhao Dahai, but looking at the crowded battlefield, his eighty men and horses were simply small stones thrown into the sea, which did not play a role, and he could only wait if he wanted to play a surprise role.
During this period, several reckless men began to suspect that Geng Kui was greedy for life and afraid of death, if it weren't for the fact that most of the brothers firmly believed in Geng Kui's loyalty, they would have already started infighting.
The battlefield is in chaos, the old battalion has no hope of breaking through several times, Geng Kui saw that the node related to victory or defeat is Yang He who supervised the battle on the mountain, as long as he is taken, the battle will be won, but Yang He has five hundred standard battalion cavalry around him to protect him to the death, with his own more than eighty people can not take it down no matter what, when he is anxious, the five hundred standard battalion suddenly killed down the mountain, Geng Kui saw it, where did he give up such a golden opportunity? led more than 80 brothers under his command to launch a decisive attack.
This time it is hitting the official army seven inches, and it is important to kill the thief, but it is even more important to keep the governor of the three sides, or to kill the first-class thief but take the governor's life, wouldn't it become a big joke?
As soon as Yang He fled, the morale of the officers and soldiers was lost and they completely collapsed, which saved Lu Shi and others.
After listening to Geng Kui's faint explanation, Lu Shi realized Geng Kui's determination and ability in his plain language, which is a rare all-rounder.
After cleaning up the battlefield and discarding all unnecessary baggage, everyone came to the mountain pass to make peace with Zhu Tie, not daring to delay at all, and directly chased after the old camp that had retreated before.
Looking at the broken flag and the sparse team, Lu Shi and Chunlan stood side by side at the mountain pass, holding the little girl who was still crying, looking at the battlefield full of corpses, unwilling to leave for a long time.
This battle, starting from Woniu Mountain, has experienced thousands of changes and countless dangers, but in any case, it finally broke out of the encirclement of the official army, and in this battle, the Black Tiger Army of Woniu Mountain suffered heavy casualties.
There are less than 100 elites left in the two cavalry teams, and there are only 500 left in the 1,200 thousand spearmen here, and the bow and arrow battalion is still intact, but it is only 300, and there are more than 1,000 baggage soldiers here, and there are less than 400 left, and the original 2,000 new annexed troops are either killed in battle, or scattered, or surrendered, only 500 are left, and the fathers, old wives, and daughters when the old camp came out are 6,000, and less than 2,000 have just been taken away by the third uncle.
In other words, the original 11,000 men and horses, plus the new annex army later, totaled 13,000, but now less than half of them survived, and they were all wounded, and almost all of their baggage and belongings were discarded.
Fiasco, but it was also a big victory, the fiasco was in the loss of men and horses, and the big victory was in the outburst of the encirclement. From then on, it was difficult for the officials and troops to encircle and suppress themselves, because, not only did they cross into thousands of mountains, but more importantly, what was left to Yang He would no longer be his own opponent, as well as the Guyuan Rebellion, Gao Yingxiang, and the sixty-four pole alliances, and at that time, he Yang He would be anxious.
And the remaining more than 6,000 people are an elite and firm collective that cannot be broken or dragged down, and such an elite collective award is the foundation for themselves to spread the world in this Ming Dynasty.
King Chuang - Well, since it has come to this point, I should completely give up the unrealistic idea of being at ease with what happens, stay out of the matter, truly assume my own responsibilities, and hand over the hope of living to my parents and sisters, in this dark and chaotic world, to create a piece of the world, and to create a piece of the world that I have depicted for them.
Slow down the king, go to him, now, the banner of breaking the word has nothing to do with Li Zicheng, the real thief, but himself, will be flying high in his own hands in the land of Shaanxi, fluttering in the future tomorrow.
When Lu Shi made up his mind completely, he suddenly remembered that Yang He, the governor who had been fighting wits and courage with him for half a month, just didn't know what Yang He was doing and thinking now.
Yang He is now sitting in the lobby of the Yanchuan Government Office without saying a word, holding a brush in his hand, and he is silent for a long time in the face of a fold spread on the table, and there are only two words on the fold: "Chen Qi-" There is no way to write.
Looking up weakly, there are two rows of dejected civil and military officers below according to their grades. Behind him stood Qian Tong, who looked uneasy.
In this battle, the officers and soldiers and their signatories were 50,000, and the thieves to be encircled and suppressed were only 10,000 people, and half of them were old and weak, but the result was a complete defeat. With 20,000 dead and wounded, countless expenses were spent, but the thieves broke through the encirclement like an iron pass, and it was difficult to encircle and suppress it, this was no longer a big defeat, but a fiasco, but a shame. (17k released, please support the genuine version, the author is infinitely grateful)
In the past half a month, he has tried his best to conspire according to the money he has scheming, driving the homeless people to do the bottom of the kettle to draw salaries, assassinating and assassinating, encircling and suppressing and appeasement, and almost everything that can be used has been used, but the result is still such a fiasco, and finally let the thieves enter the mountains.
Let the tiger return to the mountain, Yang He suddenly thought of this idiom, and now it is very suitable for thieves. What's next, what's next? The main thing is, is there a next step?
Look at the civil and military forces below, the morale has been lost, and the thieves are like passers-by smelling tigers, all of them do not change color, where is the heart to fight again? Especially the little emperor who was far away in Beijing and had a super vacillating temperament, did he still give himself the opportunity to reorganize and exterminate this terrible group of thieves?
There is no possibility, absolutely no more.
After closing his eyes for a long time, Yang He slowly stood up, but because he was physically and mentally exhausted, when he stood up, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and his body shook for a while.
Yang He smiled gently at Qian Tong, and this smile actually made Qian Tong's heart loose for no reason, and tears flowed down.
Yang He didn't say anything, gently pushed away his hand that was supporting him, and then shook his head at the depressed and sad Wenwu below, picked up the only two words and staggered into the back hall, and when he arrived at the entrance of the hall, he stood still, turned his head for a long time and said softly: "Disperse, disperse, disperse." ”
