Zhao Hu was unstoppable, and rushed out first, which greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The gunner retreated to reload the ammunition and stood by, the five hundred Ming sabers and shields and pikemen and the one hundred Ming cavalry shouted to meet the rebels head-on, the sky and the earth were shattered, the sun and the moon were gone, Zhao Hu took the lead in holding a machete and rushed into the enemy formation to kill the Quartet, there was almost no enemy under the knife, the thieves were frightened everywhere they went, and were cut under the horse, occasionally a few people came to fight in order to survive, and were chopped and chopped by Zhao Hu in two sections, and they did not blink their eyes.
The more the Ming army fought, the more courageous the more they fought, the physical strength accumulated for many days burst out in an instant, and the killing was red-eyed, Zhao Hu stared at a bloodied but wearing a robe Ma Jun, thinking that this must be a captive general, so he patted his horse to fight, and the robed horse army saw Zhao Hu killing, and actually pulled out his war knife to meet it head-on, Zhao Hu went up to fight four or five rounds, and was surprised to find that this guy had a very strong combat effectiveness, and he was not a big fish, so he immediately came to the interest, and he went up to fight with him for more than 20 rounds, but he couldn't kill it.
Seeing that almost all of his subordinates were killed by the artillery birds, he only wanted to escape for his life in a hurry, but he was blocked, the more he fought, the more urgent he became, and he directly used the method of not killing Zhao Hu to the death, and Zhao Hu was in danger for a while, and he was shocked by a force and actually took a step back, his body was exposed to a flaw, and he was caught by the rabbit, and he was going to kill Zhao Hu with a knife.
A spear suddenly appeared, resisted the war knife, and swung away the machete of the rabbit, Zhao Hu saw that it was Wang Hui who rushed to help, so he reacted, and took this opportunity to howl and raise the machete diagonally, and directly split the entire head of the rabbit with half of his body, and suddenly the blood gushed like a spring, and the intestines flowed all over the ground......
Zhao Hu kept an eye on Wang Hui to cut off this guy's head, it was not a big official, the two shared the credit equally, and they slapped their horses to fight the rest of the rebels, not long after, the overall situation was decided, the Ming army stopped defending the four gates, and directly killed the remnants of the rebels who were caught off guard, and fled in a hurry, Chen Xie directly led more than 500 Ming troops into the rebel camp, and the rebel camp was left behind to behead the rebel army, and the rest all knelt and begged to surrender, and seized countless weapons and baggage.
Xiao Ruxun ordered the generals around him to take the soldiers on the city to go down to the city to fight, the inside and the outside should be combined, the two sides attacked, the morale of the Ming army against the rebels who fled in a hurry, the end is needless to say, the battle lasted for more than an hour, the rebels finally collapsed, and they knelt on the ground and begged to surrender......
The remnants of the battle did not end until dawn the next day, Xiao Ruxun could not fight, so he personally shot the enemy with a bird crossbow arrow, almost exhausted his energy, and relied on Yang Caiyun to support him to stand firmly, Zhao Hu, Chen Xie, Wang Hui, and the three generals were also injured, and there were few Ming soldiers who could still stand without being injured, except for more than 200 soldiers who were forced to withdraw from the battlefield.
Xiao Ruxun's 3,000 Ming troops were also hit hard, and after the statistical report of the battle situation came out at noon, Xiao Ruxun was heartbroken to find that only more than 700 of the 3,000 soldiers were left uninjured, and there were more than 700 minor injuries, more than 200 injuries, and the rest were all killed.
According to the designation, the leader of the trap was beheaded by Wang Hui and Zhao Hu, the rebel general Biyun was killed by a bird who did not know who it was, and he was not blind to death, and the rebel deputy general Bi Yong was beheaded by Chen Xie, and the 37 main generals of the rebels were all killed except for two who surrendered.
The actual strength of the rebel army was only a little more than 6,000, more than 4,000 people were beheaded or died after returning to the camp, only a little more than 1,000 successfully surrendered and saved their lives, more than 300 of the 3,000 horse team successfully escaped, the Ming army was unable to pursue, the rest of more than 400 surrendered, the rest all died on the battlefield, and more than 800 horses were captured.
Xiao Ruxun waved his big hand, surrendered and killed all the captives! Da Ming doesn't need these capricious thieves!
As a result, these traps who were tied up and disarmed became live targets for the pawns, and were shot to death by the murderous Ming army, frightening the 1,000 rebel soldiers who were not killed, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Nian was a soldier of my Ming Dynasty before waiting for you, he was coerced into being a thief, the rebellion was not intended, and there was an old mother in the family who was still there, and he would not have killed you, but you had to use your own merits to redeem your merits! From now on, the generals will be incorporated into the army, as the vanguard of our army, if you want to live, you must continue to fight until the rebellion is quelled! Ben will not report the rebellion to you! But if there are disobedient people! Kill! ”
Xiao Ruxun shouted the word "kill" murderously, Wang Hui immediately shouted "raise the gun", and the red-eyed gunners raised their guns one after another, and killed them as long as someone objected, seeing the murderous Ming army surrounded by the side, where did these rebels dare to object? Originally, they were coerced by their respective officers as thieves, and they had no practical position, and they followed whoever was their general, and when they really wanted to rebel, they were also discouraged and thought of a way to the black, but they didn't expect that now they were desperate to survive, and there was still a glimmer of hope for survival.
"How dare you disobey the general's orders!"
More than a thousand rebels showed no signs of resistance, and all knelt down to show their obedience, and Xiao Ruxun ordered Zhao Hu to personally command the rebel vanguard.
So far, the attack and defense of Pingyu City, which lasted for half a month, ended with a complete victory for the Ming army Xiao Ruxun's troops.
Xiao Ruxun's 3,000 people, after the war survived only 1,500 people, the rest were all killed, intact and ready to fight only 700, and the rebels, the strength of about 9,000, including 3,000 captives, 300 escaped, the rest were all killed, 6,000 rebels, except for more than 1,000 people who surrendered, more than 500 people fled in a hurry, more than 4,500 rebels were all killed, all the heads intact were cut off, piled up, roughly counted, there were 6,000.
The surviving Ming army felt very lucky, and it was necessary to know that the Ming army's merits should be recorded according to the first level, and one or two hundred ordinary border frictions were a great victory, and this time they actually cut down six thousand levels, of which nearly three thousand were taken prisoners, which was a shocking achievement, and everyone was thinking about what kind of reward they could get!
Zhao Hu, Wang Hui, Chen Xie, the three generals were overjoyed, the three of them each have great merits in their bodies, this time they can definitely be rewarded for being added to the official rank, and they laughed when they sat together, and the rest of the Ming army also had the happiness of the rest of their lives, and they relaxed from the high-intensity state of war, and many people collapsed to the ground and fell asleep.
Looking at the rising sun, Xiao Ruxun sighed lightly and said to Yang Caiyun: "Caiyun, this is the first victory for your husband, and next, your husband will fight many, many victories, and you will definitely earn a life for you!" ”
Yang Caiyun didn't dare to look at the bloody battlefield anymore, buried his head in Xiao Ruxun's arms, just nodded lightly, and didn't say anything.
After sending Yang Caiyun back to his home and settling down, Xiao Ruxun also had to prepare for a series of things after the war, such as the pension of the soldiers who died in the war, the settlement of family members, the cleaning of the battlefield, the writing and transmission of military newspapers, etc., etc., and most importantly, what to do next, whether to stay still or take the initiative, this all requires Xiao Ruxun to do it himself.
The victory is gratifying, but the price to be paid for the victory is really painful, the Ming army lost more than 1,500 people, 1,500 families suddenly became the home of the lost pillar, lost the pillar of the family, although there are many military families and other men, but after sorting out, there are nearly 600 families in 1,500 families There are no men in the family, only lonely women and young children.
Looking at the scene of crying and burning white paper, Xiao Ruxun suddenly felt that the victory he had won was so sad, victory is of course victory, but these families have lost their happiness forever, without the support of men, can a family still be counted as a home? And all Xiao Ruxun could do was to do his best to give them more bereavement benefits in person, but these women were still crying with the silver in their hands.
In this situation, how can Xiao Ruxun be calm?
Unable to bear to see the wailing of these women who had lost their men, Xiao Ruxun turned around and left this residential area, and Wang Hui, who was following him, seemed to see Xiao Ruxun's sadness, and said comfortingly: "Where are the immortals who have fought since ancient times?" The general still shouldn't be too sad. ”
Xiao Ruxun thought back to the dead comrades-in-arms in the past and present life, and said sadly: "Once you will succeed, your bones will wither, and my fame and glory and wealth are what these soldiers exchange for their lives, but all I can do is give them a dozen taels of silver in compensation, without the support of the pillars, how can orphans, widows, fathers and mothers live?" It is not easy for widows with children to remarry, if they do not remarry, can a dozen taels of silver make them persist until they bring up their children? They are all my subordinates, and I can't do more for their wives and children...... No wonder everyone in the world says that soldiers are ominous, the land of death and life! ”
Wang Hui could only sigh deeply.
Outside the city, especially in the southern city of Chengguan, the battlefield cleaning is also carried out in an orderly manner, Xiao Ruxun ordered all the corpses of the rebels and horses to be burned in the fire, and could not be left, and then began to arrange for the requisition of the people in the city to repair the city wall.
Xiao Ruxun ran around the city throughout the day, and was not able to go home until night, hastily ate dinner, and plunged into the study, Yang Caiyun was worried that her husband's body could not support it, so she stewed the old ginseng soup brought from home and brought it to the study for Xiao Ruxun to drink, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Xiao Ruxun writing something on the desk.
