Chapter 192: Xiao Che's Death
"That's right, the person who wrote the letter must be Lei Zhengming, but I hate that I have no eyes and no beads, and I actually promoted such a despicable villain to my lieutenant." Xiao Che was extremely annoyed in his heart.
In fact, what Xiao Che didn't know was that before Deng Yuanjue transferred him to Xiakou, he had already selected a group of capable young generals from his own army and mixed into Xiakou as grassroots officers, he knew that Xiao Che would definitely promote a group of his own people after he went, and grassroots officers were his first choice, and a leader like Lei Zhengming was naturally discovered by Xiao Che quickly.
"Third prince, we have been fighting for three years, but I didn't expect that among the young generals of the Song Kingdom, in addition to Shi Luosheng, there is also an existence like you. It's a pity that you are the prince of the Song Kingdom, otherwise I would definitely bring you back to Shangjing and find a way to persuade you to surrender to our Great Qi, but now I can only kill you in pain. Tian Wuji said without regrets.
Xiao Che looked at the Qi army surrounding him, not to mention that there were 50,000 people, and the leader was still the Tian Wuji brothers, it seemed that his 3,000 people could not be killed.
"General, can you promise me one thing? These brothers are all because they choose to trust me, so they will follow me into a desperate situation. I would like to ask the General to let them live, and if you will, Shaw will kill himself. Shawcher's words were tragic.
Tian Wuji calculated in his heart that although these Song soldiers were all in the place of death, if they didn't agree to Xiao Che's request, they would definitely resist desperately, and in the end, even if he could kill them all, the loss would definitely exceed 3,000 people, so it was better to simply sell a favor and accept it when he saw it.
"Okay, I can promise you." Tian Wuji nodded.
Xiao Che arched his hand towards him in gratitude, turned around and said to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, Xiao Che has betrayed your trust, after I die, you don't want to go back to Xiakou, go directly to Changzhou, and my father will definitely settle you well." ”
After speaking, he drew his sword and was about to wipe it off his neck, but a sergeant next to him hugged him and cried bitterly: "No, Your Highness, you can take us out to kill, maybe we still have a chance." ”
Xiao Che gently pushed him away, did not speak again, and slashed his sword into his neck.
"Your Highness......" Seeing Xiao Che slowly falling, Song Jun knelt on the ground and cried.
Tian Wuji has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and his heart has long been as hard as a rock, and when he saw this picture at this time, he actually couldn't bear it a little: "You guys bring back the corpse of the third prince." ”
Suddenly, one of the Song soldiers stood up and shouted: "You don't need to pretend, Your Highness was forced to death by you, and we want to take revenge." After speaking, he grabbed the spear on the ground and rushed towards Tian Wuji, and the other soldiers were also infected and followed.
Seeing this, Tian Wuji sighed, waved his hand, and ordered the Qi army to meet the battle. Although there was a huge disparity in strength and weakness, the battle lasted for two hours before it ended. Not a single one of the Song troops flinched until the last man was killed.
In the end, the number of people was counted, and the Qi army actually killed more than 5,000 people, and nearly eight people were injured.
"Find someone to send the body of the third prince back to Xiakou." Tian Wuji's mood was very complicated, and after saying this, he left first.
"General, Yue Lin and Lei Di led an army of 50,000 to cut off our return route at Fengshou Pass, and Yan Da Sima also led an army of 50,000 to set off from Danyang City, and it is expected to arrive at our camp in two days." The general who pretended to be Wu Teng was called Wu Shuang, and he was Wu Teng's cousin, and the two brothers also looked seven points alike, so Wu Teng sent him to pretend to be himself.
"What's going on over there in Xiakou?" Deng Yuanjue's crisis has not been resolved, he only has 20,000 people in his hands, and he will face Yan Chixing's 100,000 army.
Wu Shuang replied: "General Lei's last secret report said that the third prince left Xiakou with 3,000 people, calculate the time, and now it is almost time to die at the hands of Tian Wuji." ”
Deng Yuanjue stroked his beard with his hand, and didn't make too many comments: "Let's pull out the camp and raise troops, we will go to meet Yue Lin and Lei Di now, I want to see if Yan Chixing's disciples are all as powerful as Xiao Che." There was a bit of admiration for Xiao Che in his words.
The army marched all the way to Fengshou Pass, and Yue Lin and Lei Di relied on their large numbers and led their troops out of the city to meet the battle.
"Bold, you two dare to stand in the way of the general, do you want to rebel?" Wu Shuang took the lead and asked.
Deng Yuanjue is the general of the Song State, not to mention the two of them, even Yan Chixing has to listen to the general's orders without Xiao Daocheng's authorization.
Yue Lin and the two looked at each other: "The two of them were ordered by the Great Sima to guard the head of the phoenix, and no one was allowed to pass." ”
Deng Yuanjue walked out of the army and asked coldly, "Can't even I pass?" ”
Yue Lin and the others originally planned to kill Deng Yuanjue as soon as they saw him, but at this time, they didn't know why they were actually suppressed by his momentum.
The two took a few steps forward and gave a military salute: "General, please don't embarrass the last general, Da Sima's army will also arrive here in two days, and then the general will ask Da Sima for instructions on whether to let him go." ”
"At the beginning, I had an agreement with Your Majesty that all the strategic resources of Chu would be deployed by me, let me ask you, is the head of the phoenix in Chu Di? Should you two listen to me or Da Sima now? Deng Yuanjue was a little angry, and slowly approached the two as he spoke.
Yue Lin and the others did not doubt him, and were thinking about how to deal with Deng Yuanjue's questioning. Suddenly, Deng Yuanjue jumped forward, volleyed out two palms, and shrouded the top of the two people's heads.
Where would the two of them have thought that a dignified general would suddenly attack him, panicked, and hurriedly raised his palms to fight back.
But their skills are Deng Yuanjue's opponents, and as soon as they came into contact with the two, they were shocked away. Deng Yuanjue then grabbed Yue Lin, his two fingers were as fast as lightning, sealing several big points on his chest, and then threw them towards Wu Shuang behind him.
After Wu Shuang caught it, he handed it over to the sergeant next to him to take care of it, and he led the army to cover up.
Deng Yuanjue captured Yue Lin as soon as he enrolled, and turned another round to prepare to pounce on Reddy. The injured Reddy had just gotten up from the ground and stumbled towards his own formation. Fengshou's defenders also rushed forward, ready to rescue him.
Deng Yuanjue saw that he was about to catch up, so he immediately pulled out a single knife and threw it at Reddy. The long knife turned into a skull in the air, shooting at Reddy at great speed.
"General, watch your back."
Reddy heard the whirring sound behind him, and knew that a hidden weapon was flying towards him, so he hurriedly flashed to the side, and the long knife slashed against the side of his ear, with a trace of blood into the chest of the defender in front of him.
The knife didn't stab Reddy, but it slowed down his escape. Deng Yuanjue's figure flashed, and he rushed over at a very fast speed.
Reddy didn't care about his embarrassed posture, and after rolling on the ground twice, a carp straightened up, stood up, and continued to run towards the formation, but fortunately, the defenders also arrived at this time, and they rushed forward to block Deng Yuanjue for Reddy.
Deng Yuanjue knocked down a person with a punch, snatched his single knife, and continued to kill towards Reddy.
Wu Shuang also led the army to the front at this time and fought with the defenders.
Deng Yuanjue took the opportunity to get rid of the entanglement, his eyes stared at Reddy alone, and said that he couldn't let him escape back to the city.
At this time, Reddy was already frightened, outside Danyang City, he had witnessed Deng Yuanjue's true martial arts, and knew that as long as he was close to him, he would have no possibility of escaping.
Yue Lin has been captured, and he can't make any more mistakes, so Reddy decided to go back to the city first to defend it, and then work together to encircle and suppress him after the army of Da Sima arrives.
As soon as he made up his mind and was about to return to the city, Reddy couldn't help but glance back.
It's okay not to look at this, but at a glance, I found that Deng Yuanjue was using light skills to run towards him from the air.
"Shoot him down." Reddy shouted.
Whoosh, Deng Yuanjue danced a single knife to block a few arrows, then simply jumped into the army, grabbed two people one by one and blocked them in front of him as a meat shield.
"Quick, stop him." Reddy shouted as he ran towards the Phoenix Head Gate.
At this time, the defenders were rushing forward, and he was the only one who fled back, and the speed can be imagined.
Deng Yuanjue came to the front after a few ups and downs, and the two meat shields in his hands smashed at him respectively.
Reddy just blocked the next one and was smashed to the ground by the second. Just about to get up, Deng Yuanjue's single knife had already arrived in front of him.
"I am Deng Yuanjue, the general of the Great Song Dynasty, Lei Di committed a rebellion and has been dealt with by our military law, if you are still obsessed and refuse to lay down your arms and surrender, you will blame General Ben for killing them all." Deng Yuanjue held Reddy's head high in his hand, and shouted to the soldiers in the field with all his internal strength.
When the Fengshou defenders saw that one of the two main generals was killed and one was captured, and the other party was a genuine general, how could anyone dare to resist again, and they all dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.
After Deng Yuanjue led his troops into Fengshou, in order to completely deter the 50,000 army, he ordered Yue Lin to be beheaded for public display.
"General, how to deal with these surrendered troops, are they brought back to Jingzhou?" Wu Shuangcheng Deng Yuanjue asked.
Deng Yuanjue waved his hand: "These 50,000 troops were all recruited by Yan Chixing in Jizhou County, I haven't brought them before, if I rashly bring them back to Jingzhou, I'm afraid there will be chaos." ”
Wu Shuang made a head-killing gesture after hearing this: "Then I will lead people to kill them all tonight, and then dig a pit and bury them all." ”
"No, we have only taken Chu for two years, and the people's hearts are not stable, and doing so will anger the people of Chu and be detrimental to our future rule." Deng Yuanjue stopped.
Wu Shuang was very embarrassed: "It's not okay to take it away, and it's not okay to kill it directly, is it left to Da Sima to use against us?" That's an army of 50,000. ”
Deng Yuanjue thought for a while: "Take them all first, Jingzhou can't stay, take them all to Xia* to Lei Zhengming and Yue Shouming, and let them deal with Tian Wuji." ”
Wu Shuang smiled and said: "Wonderful, borrow Tian Wuji's hand to kill them all, so that the people will not have an opinion on us." ”
Deng Yuanjue said again: "Fengshou is not a place to stay for a long time, you go and empty the baggage in the city, don't leave anything for Yan Chixing, we will go back to Jingzhou overnight." ”
