Chapter 113: Money Offensive
When the heavy cast iron door fell, Xue Rengui rushed out.
Truth be told, he didn't know why he accepted this absurd order.
That's right, the order is absurd.
He was not afraid of death.
The moment he joined the army, he already understood his fate.
Horse leather shroud or return to their hometown.
"If there is a next time, it must be Xue Mou's return to his hometown and no longer burdened by money, then...... What's the point of a penny? ”
The oath he made two years ago has already come true, he is no longer the woodcutter who is trapped by food and clothing, but a general on the battlefield.
King Wu valued him.
Absurd orders, that's also orders.
Death for a confidant!
"Soldiers, we have only one goal......" He looked at the cavalry in front of him, looking very vulnerable in front of the 200,000 White Lotus Sect troops.
Fortunately, the White Lotus Sect has not yet besieged the city, and they can come out through the north gate.
"That's the rescue...... The Emperor! ”
The makeshift lecture before the war seemed pale and weak, but the cavalry seemed to be riveted and waited quietly for the time to come.
The victims, the sick, and the students, all of whom have more or less received the favor of the Emperor.
The heart of the people lies in Li Tang.
It's a simple truth.
The chaotic sound of footsteps was as deafening as thunder, the sound of arrows breaking through the air came and went, the angry shouts of powerful men, and the passionate sound of gold......
Arrows the size of raindrops fell from the sky and shot towards the cavalry led by Xue Rengui.
The iron cavalry built by Li Ke, the king of Wu, with the power of all Xiangzhou, was showing its power at this moment, and the blast furnace erected by three hundred medical students was enough to melt into the iron armor worn by the soldiers.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There are hundreds of paces away, and the power of prismatic feather arrows is only two hundred paces at most, and with the advantage of distance, these feather arrows fall on the iron armor of the cavalry, and they can only be heard.
Of course, there are also unlucky soldiers who were shot in the eye and other vital points and fell off their horses.
But in the end, this army was almost undamaged in the first wave of war.
Arrows are the cheapest and largest consumable in warfare.
Xue Rengui realized this at this moment, countless feathered arrows were like thundershowers in summer, dense and powerful.
At two hundred paces, they lost thirteen cavalry.
One hundred and fifty steps, fifty-three.
Fifty paces, two hundred and thirty-six.
Sonorous!
Xue Rengui took the lead and finally came into contact with the army of the White Lotus Sect, but it was a pity that the Chinese army's tent was surrounded by troops on the inner and outer three layers.
At the outermost end are the unarmed old and weak, who are cannon fodder.
Blood splattered, flesh foamed everywhere, and heads rolled off everywhere.
The battlefield is not merciful.
Because the next moment, it's you who dies.
Even though these old and weak women and children seem to be innocent, Xue Rengui, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, understands that even in the young wolf cubs, they will also grin.
The unscrupulous killing made the old and weak on the periphery pause, even if the scolding behind them, or the pain of the knife stabbing into the flesh, they refused to take another step.
Soon, the 3,000 cavalry army rushed into the White Lotus Sect's Chinese army tent.
The White Lotus Sect's army was suddenly in a mess, but after just half a quarter of an hour, they put up a strong resistance, no, it should be encirclement and suppression.
No matter how sharp the knife is, it will be blunt and curl, especially if it kills too many people.
In just a few moments, they had clashed with the White Lotus Sect several times, killing thousands of people each time, but in the same way, their comrades also died one by one.
Maybe dozens of people will be replaced by an elite, but this gap is gradually narrowing as they are sleepy.
"Damn, if we continue like this, I'm afraid we haven't rushed to the middle tent yet, and we will be entangled by this group of dogs!" Xue Rengui took a sip on the ground, and he had blood foaming in his mouth.
"General, there have been nearly a thousand casualties, and the encirclement of the White Lotus Sect is shrinking smaller and smaller." A lieutenant shouted with all his might, and at the same time he did not stop in his hands, and slashed a person to death.
"Retreat, if you don't retreat, the rest of the brothers will also be handed over here."
"What should I do?" Xue Rengui secretly shouted in his heart.
The more he was in a life-and-death crisis, the calmer his mind became. If you retreat, you will have the trust of His Highness, but if you enter, it will be too difficult, and it may make other people's lives fall into the Yellow Spring.
For the Tang Army, even if the 3,000 cavalry soldiers are sacrificed, as long as the Emperor Taishang is rescued, it will be worth it.
It's that cruel.
Can...... The question is whether it is a meaningful sacrifice or a meaningless sacrifice?
For them, they are willing to sacrifice their lives to save the emperor, repay their kindness, and be loyal to the country.
But if all is in vain......
Xue Rengui rode a white horse, and looked at the Emperor Taishang standing on a high slope in the distance, only three hundred steps, and a charge could be reached.
But now it is difficult to move an inch, and people are crowded.
"Camel City, this slaughter of thousand-headed melon seeds is true, I know that this is the way to deal with cavalry." Li Yuan said secretly in his heart.
The camel city is an invention of Galdan, and the camel formation is to tie the legs of thousands of camels and lie on the ground. The camels were covered with chests folded into low walls, covered with wet felt, and arranged like a fence as shelters, and the soldiers hid in the "camel city" and defended them with smoothbore guns and bows and arrows supported by the Russians. With the camel formation, the Galdan army can advance or retreat, defend and attack.
Now the White Lotus Sect army is just piling up chariots and other baggage, blocking the cavalry led by Xue Rengui and slowly trapping them to death.
It's like making a huge cage, and the three thousand cavalry are the beasts in this cage.
"But ......" Li Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, a sarcastic smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and his hand stretched back slightly, as if to hint.
It didn't take long for the White Lotus Sect to become chaotic, with dozens of "rebels" with their left arms exposed, secretly killing the defenders next to the trebuchet, and then threatening the wrestlers to put the gold and silver treasures on the trebuchet's basket.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With several loud noises, the trebuchet tossed high the copper coins and gold and silver treasures, which contained agate, pearls, jade, and so on.
A puff of smoke was thrown into the White Lotus Sect's army.
How many tens of thousands of copper coins are there? Consistently 1,000 copper coins.
10,000 pieces is 10 million copper coins, and tens of millions of copper coins are scattered on the ground, what a spectacular scene.
First of all, a large number of White Lotus Sect soldiers were smashed to the point of bleeding, and some of them fainted directly on the spot, and the White Lotus Sect troops who survived were instantly like cats that saw a fishy smell and immediately began to squat on the ground and pick up money.
"Chance!" Xue Rengui's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered the other brothers to prepare for another charge.
This charge must succeed in rescuing the Emperor Taishang.
The slaughter of war ceased and rose again, becoming more and more brutal, and in an instant hundreds of thousands of armies were like lambs to the slaughter.
But this is not over, in the innermost Chinese army tent, there are three thousand real elites of the White Lotus Sect, those religious armies.
They relied on faith and did not covet earthly money.
"No biological mother, vacuum hometown."
Dressed in white and white-armored, the elite of the White Lotus Sect was like a group of dead corpses, without any emotional fluctuations.
