Chapter 20: Don't Kill Me!
Under Meiyang City, the arrays of the two sides of the battle soon collided head-on, and Zhen took the lead and rushed into the enemy formation with a spear. He seems to be reckless, but in fact, he is careful, and he has been in battle for a long time, and his vision is also quite keen, so he deliberately chose the most loose section of the Xinping soldier array, and when the spear shook, he pierced the chest of an unknown general, and then the spear picked up the enemy's corpse left and right, and then knocked over several people.
Behind Zhen Sui, most of them were the elite pawns of his "fire robbery camp", all of them were brave, the most accustomed to chaotic battles, and they were also accustomed to supporting left and right, rushing into it along the gap torn by the master, like the tip of a knife breaking through the skin and then stirring it up, and the wound continued to expand. Su Jun and Su Zigao were ordered to guard, and chased after him from behind, but when he arrived, he found that he could hardly find his place and couldn't insert his legs......
The front of the Xinping soldiers was torn apart, which naturally greatly surprised Zhu Hui, who was watching from the city-because most of the soldiers in the front were trained by him, and their combat effectiveness should have been very strong, almost crowning Guanzhong. Immediately turned his head and asked: "Who is this general, who is so brave?" β
Everyone was at a loss, and only one person speculated: "It is rumored that there is a bear in Xuzhou, and he does not dare to Ling if he is captured; There is a land in Xuzhou, and the army will be overthrown', is it not one of these two? Zhu Hui nodded and said, "I think so." He immediately ordered the flags to be waved, the drums and trumpets to be changed, and the left and right flanks were ordered to move forward, and to move closer to the central army, striving to surround the enemy generals.
However, most of the people lined up on the left and right flanks of the Xinping Army were peasant soldiers, and their will to fight was poor, and their training was insufficient. Seeing that the gap in the center was being torn wider and wider, the left and right flanks faltered, and they were unable to rush to help. Zhu Hui saw that this would not work, if I did not personally go down to command, this battle would definitely be lost......
On the one hand, he was caused by the light enemy, and at the same time he was worried that the main force of the official army was about to be killed, so he did not come out in person, and now the situation was critical, and he hurriedly looked from afar, and it seemed that he could not see the shadow of the enemy army. But who would have thought that it would only be a short time before he came to the city gate, and he heard the noise in front of him getting closer and closer, and then a large number of routs swarmed in.
Zhu Hui thought that the peasants and soldiers on both wings retreated first, but when he looked closely, I relied on my own regular soldiers and horses! Only then did he realize that if the peasants and soldiers collapsed, it was very likely that they would go around the city, and only the soldiers in front of them could turn around and flee straight to the city...... The tribes formed a circle, guarding Zhu Hui's side, each wielding a knife to slash and kill the defeated soldiers, trying to force them to stop the rout and continue to move forward. However, although the city gate hole is narrow, it is enough for the defeated soldiers to slip by, how can they stop the defeat and escape in a hurry?
Seeing that the situation was not good, the subordinates all persuaded Zhu Hui to retreat temporarily, and Zhu Hui shouted: "Close the gate, close the city gate first!" However, at this moment, only these dozens of pro-soldiers were willing to accept his command, and even if more than a dozen people came forward and tried to close the city gate, they were staggered by the defeated soldiers, and it was difficult to pass quickly just a few steps.
Zhu Huizheng was panicked, and suddenly heard a very high-pitched shout from the crowd: "Where will the thief be?" Come and meet Master Zhen! Then a bloody spear rushed straight at him......

The collapse of the Xinping army was so rapid that both sides of the battle were also greatly surprised. Zhen Sui was still thinking: This is the so-called Xinping soldier of the crown of the four counties? That's it? I knew that the master didn't need to wait, as soon as he saw the other party open the city gate, he just rushed over and killed him......
In fact, the reason is also very simple, first of all, the strength of the new peace army is relative. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, there was a saying that the Chinese and foreign armies were the central forbidden army, and the foreign army referred to the soldiers of the prefectures and counties and the regular soldiers in the theater, and the latter was likely to be equal in quality with the Chinese armyβin areas with frequent wars, it might even be stronger than the Chinese armyβand most of the former were poorly trained peasant soldiers. The Xinping soldiers belong to the form between the two foreign armies, that is, the warlord private soldiers, both elite and peasant soldiers, and after the mixed formation, the strength can barely take the average.
And the Xuzhou Army in front of Pei's department is a semi-professional soldier whose training intensity and diet quality are the best in this world, and what Zhen Sui brought out this time are all elites, so naturally two thousand to six thousand is easy.
More importantly, because the quality of the peasants and soldiers is generally not high, most of the Jin troops in the Central Plains are accustomed to fighting after the formation, and only a perfect array can exert the strongest power. The soldiers and horses of Di Rong's headquarters, including Zhen Sui, are accustomed to fighting with personal bravery, because of the style of the main general, the veterans of the "Camp in the Fire Robbery" are also contaminated with similar habits. Therefore, the rain and mud on the ground greatly hindered the strict formation of the array, although the environment was the same for both sides, but the damage caused by the Xinping soldiers was a hundred times that of the officers and soldiers.
There are these two factors, but in fact, Zhen Sui's personal courage plays a very small role in it.
Although Zhen Sui was wise, he couldn't figure it out so much for a while, he just rushed forward with a spear, and under the escort of the veterans, he fought heartily, and rushed directly into Meiyang City in one breath. Immediately, I saw that in the midst of the rout, like a torrent mainstay, a small battle group of dozens of people appeared, and one person in the middle, with exquisite armor and a big red cloak, thought to be an enemy general. Zhen immediately shouted: "Where will the thief be?" Come and meet Master Zhen! And he immediately rushed straight with his spear.
The general on the opposite side was naturally Xinping Taishou and Zhu Huizhu Shiwei, the general of the expedition to the north, and he couldn't help but be frightened when he saw this.
Zhu Hui does know that soldiers can fight, but he is not a brave general who fights in battle with Zhen Sui or Chen An and others, and takes the lead. Therefore, in terms of personal bravery, he may not be as good as Pei Gai - after all, Pei Gai is young and strong, and he has deliberately strengthened his training in recent years, and now if he gathers more than 100 Pei Du Governors, it is difficult to have a chance of winning by waiting for one or two Zhen Sui-plus he has seen Zhen Sui's bravery in the city, how dare he go to the front?
Zhu Hui didn't say a word, turned around, and fled.
Six or seven people around him followed to guard, and the rest were all armed to stop Zhen Sui. Zhen shook his spear and intended to stab through one person, but the two soldiers next to him advanced the sword at the same time and cracked his offensive. Zhen Suiqiang was even more happy, and shouted: "Okay, come and see the master's power!" Holding the spear in one hand, he pulled out a long knife from his waist, waved it left and right, and forced Zhu Hui's troops to retreat again and again.
But at this time, his subordinates also followed, including Su Jun, who finally stepped in. Su Jun shouted: "Governor Zhen and go after the enemy general, there is a general here to deal with!" In fact, he wanted to leave Zhen Sui behind and chase after Zhu Hui by himself, but he was afraid that even Xie Feng might not be able to keep himself afterwards...... Beheading should not be, and you can't escape from being beaten fat; In addition, the strength and endurance of self-knowledge are far inferior to Zhen Sui, so forget it, you should chase it.
Everyone should fight against Zhu Hui's tribe and fight in one place. Zhen Sui glanced at the gap, sat on the right spear of the knife, forced the enemy to retreat, jumped out of the battle group, and then ran with his feet and went to chase Zhu Hui. Zhu Hui had just gotten on the mount brought by the ministry, and before he started, he heard a shouting behind him, turned his head to take a look, and was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he was coveted all over his body. A subordinate turned around to stop Zhen Sui, but Zhen Sui opened the blade with a spear, and the knife hit the door, blood splattered, and he was killed by life.
Zhu Shiwei only hated that he couldn't give birth to wings on his back, and hurriedly urged the horse to flee, but unfortunately the city was also wet and slippery, and the roadway was narrow, so the speed could not be improved. Later, Zhen stabbed two Zhu family members to death in an instant, and seeing that the enemy was about to go away, he immediately repeated the old trick, raised the spear, and threw it out of his hand with a "whew".
After all, Zhu Shiwei was not ahead of Hu Jiangping, although he felt the wind coming from behind, but he couldn't dodge, and he was still grazed by the spearhead on the shoulder, and he couldn't help screaming, turned over and fell off the horse. Zhen Sui was still quite depressed, this spear was borrowed not long after all, and he didn't take advantage of it, and his accuracy was a lot worse, he thought he could stab the other party in the chest...... Immediately, he exerted his strength with both feet, pounced over, and without three or five combinations, he hacked the guards to death one by one.
Then he reached out and pulled Zhu Hui. Zhu Shiwei was still lying on the ground, unable to struggle, only felt that his back collar was tight, and he was lifted up out of thin air, and immediately screamed: "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" Zhen laughed with "haha", wiped the blood on Zhu Hui's cloak with the long knife, held it in one hand, and turned around to find the borrowed spear......

Pei Wei was close to noon that day, and he led the army to arrive at the foot of Meiyang City, but he saw that the city gate was wide open, and the banner of "Fire Robbery Camp" fluttered at the head of the city. After entering the city, Zhen casually ordered someone to drag Zhu Hui over, and Pei Wei opened his mouth and asked, "Zhu Shiwei?" However, Zhu Hui was so sifted through the chaff that it was almost impossible to stand still, and the sergeant pulled his head up, and saw his face covered with mud and tears, and it was almost impossible to distinguish his face, but his lips were closed, as if he was saying something.
Listening carefully, it turned out that Zhu Hui was nagging repeatedly: "Don't kill me......"
Pei Wei couldn't help frowning and said, "Is this fruit Zhu Shiwei?" The defense of a county, the country's heavy general, how did it become like this? Then he squinted dissatisfiedly. Zhen Sui stared at his mouth, his face was full of disdain, that means: He is cowardly, he is stupid, and he is stupid, and he is a big deal!
The army entered the city to rest, Pei Wei rested for one night, and returned to Yixian tomorrow morning. Su Jun stretched out his finger and stabbed Xie Feng secretly, Xie Feng understood, and hurriedly stepped out of the column and arched his hand: "Since the Xinping army has been destroyed and Zhu Hui has been captured, it is better to divide an army to attack Qi County, there is no owner in the city, and I think I can go down with a drum." Pei Wei nodded: "What Qing said is reasonable......" Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhen Sui who was eager to try again, and immediately stretched out his hand to point at Gao He, and the two sentences were almost seamless: "Then Qing led the department and escorted Zhu Shiwei to take Qi County." β
- It's impossible to give all the credit to that Zhen man.
