Chapter 208: What is the use of the law not to blame the public
After Xiang Cheng set off, Sun Jian gathered his soldiers and horses, and walked in the southeast direction in the dark.
Most of the people in this group of people led by Sun Jian were old soldiers who were greedy for life and afraid of death, but under Xiang Cheng's arrangement, the eight hundred old yellow turban generals were also interspersed among these people, either the chief or the chief. So these people went from crying and crying at the beginning to slowly becoming orderly in the march, which saved Sun Jian a lot of trouble.
There was no trouble along the way, and Sun Jian looked at this long dragon-like military formation with a burst of emotion in his heart.
It is definitely impossible to say that he and others did not find out when he and the Liangzhou army went out of the city, if the Liangzhou scouts were so weak, this battle would not have been fought so hard. Then, there is only one possibility that the Liangzhou army has not bitten its own old army until now, that is, Xiang Cheng has already been able to take over the Liangzhou army.
At this time, I don't know what Xiang Cheng is like, whether he is alive or dead, whether he is injured or hurt.
Looking at this road again, it is all barren and Gobi, and from a distance, it seems that there is no vitality. Everyone in the world says that Liangzhou is desolate, and this time Sun Jian completely realized what a desperate depression this is.
"General! You listen! ”
Sun Jian thought about it, and was suddenly woken up, and listened in the direction of the man's finger, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the horizon at some point. It's a pity that the night is dark, but I can't see who is coming.
Sun Jian raised his hand and shouted, "Stop the army!" Ambush! After everyone was prostrate on the ground, Sun Jian shouted again: "Scout, go and investigate." ”
"No!"
The two scouts galloped out, and Sun Jian and the others lay on the ground and listened intently.
After a long while, the scout went and returned, and Sun Jian hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
The scout gasped and replied, "General Hui, there are too many people, my two brothers dare not come forward, and there are about 5,000 people from a distance. ”
Sun Jian thought for a moment, stomped his feet and shouted, "It's broken!" It's the Liangzhou Army! ”
Sun Jian asked the scouts to investigate with a hope of one in ten thousand, hoping that this group of people would be the "reinforcements" that Xiang Cheng said. At this time, it is actually very simple to be sure that this group of men and horses is the Liangzhou army, if it is reinforcements, it will definitely not be only 5,000 people.
Sun Jian shouted: "Explore again!" Let's see if there's a big army behind this group. ”
Looking at the soldiers on his side, there are only a thousand people who can fight, and I am afraid that the mentality of these thousand people has already collapsed. Therefore, Sun Jian knew in his heart that this group of men and horses was undoubtedly the Liangzhou army, but he still asked the scouts to probe again, maybe he was wrong. But what is the probability that you will be wrong? Sun Jian knew better than anyone else that unless it was really a flying army from the sky, these 5,000 people could only be the Liangzhou army.
After the two horse scouts left, Sun Jian gritted his teeth and shouted: "Everyone, cheer up, let's go east!" Escape the army of unknown origin in front of you! ”
Sun Jian gave an order and took the lead to walk eastward, but he walked slowly for fear of attracting the attention of the soldiers and horses suspected of being the Liangzhou army.
After walking eastward for more than an hour, Sun Jianjun slammed the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the sound of the knight waving his whip could be faintly heard. The two scouts never returned.
Hearing the sound behind them, the more than 2,000 people in this group all looked back, their eyes full of horror. At this time, who cares about those wounded soldiers, they are all preparing to flee in all directions.
Sun Jian shouted: "Router! Chop! Those who disregard their fellow comrades! Chop! ”
Without waiting for Sun Jian to finish shouting, the Yellow Turban Shi Changwu Commander all pulled out his waist knife, these old soldiers couldn't fight at this time, couldn't escape, and actually sat on the ground and cried "woo woo".
"General Xiang sacrificed his life to protect us! That's how you're out?! Stand up for me! Stand up! Sun Jian shouted as he dragged the soldier sitting on the ground.
The soldier cried out, "It's all death, why should we resist!?" Surrender and forget it! ”
"Surrender!"
"Yes, surrender!"
Together, there were voices of surrender in all directions.
Sun Jian was confused, and all the soldiers had the intention of surrendering. What's more, "the law does not blame the public", at this time, with this lamentation, it is difficult for Sun Jian to establish a military law.
Sun Jian thinks a lot, but some people don't think much, this person is the old Yellow Turban general who has been following Xiang Cheng. When he heard the word "surrender," he raised his sword and cut off the head of the man who shouted. At this time, there was even more gloom in the team, from wailing to despair.
Sun Jian hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing!?" ”
But the man said, "General, I know what you are thinking, do you think that 'the law does not hold the people accountable'?" ”
Sun Jian didn't talk, it seemed to be acquiescing, and it seemed to be helpless.
The man said: "General Xiang said, 'The law does not blame the people, the law does not blame the elderly, and the law does not blame the less, what is the use of the law?'" What's more, 'military law is ruthless', at this time, Yu Qi let them vote for Liangzhou, why don't I be happy to cut them all!" ”
Sun Jian's heart swayed when he heard this, and at this time, the yellow turban veteran fell with a knife and collected a good head.
At this point, Sun Jian still couldn't, so he had to shout: "You and I are both Han!" Liangzhou is full of chaotic troops! If you vote for Liangzhou, I am afraid that your family will be implicated, but if you die here, the court will naturally take care of your family. If you want to join the enemy! I, Sun Wentai, was the first to refuse! ”
After shouting these words, with the help of the Yellow Turban veterans, more than 2,000 people in this group were sent to the ground to stand up, although the mood was still not so high, but at least it was no longer hopeless.
Sun Jianqing reduced the weight of his baggage, which took these soldiers and wounded soldiers, and continued to march towards the east at a not too fast speed.
Less than half an hour had passed, and the sound of horses' hooves, horsewhips, and even the shouts of cavalry behind him could be clearly heard. Only then did Sun Jian stop, gritted his teeth and said, "Ready!" Prepare to fight to the death! Array! Array! ”
And Sun Jian stopped and lined up, and the military horses behind him caught up after him in a moment, only to hear the leader shout: "A certain Liangzhou Ma Shoucheng!" Who dares to fight with me! ”
Sun Jian grabbed the knife and got on the horse, shouting: "Sun Wentai is here to take your head!" ”
Over there, Ma Teng looked at the burly man of life, shouted "good", urged the horse to fight with Sun Jian, these two knives were speeding in the air, and the sound of "ping pong" was endless. The situation in the field was thrilling and severe, and within a moment, the two of them were fighting thirty or fifty times, which made the soldiers of the two armies fearful.
A child in the Liangzhou army who looked to be as old as Guo Jia straddled the horse, held a bright silver gun in his hand and muttered, "Why didn't Daddy let me go into battle." If I go into battle with my father, this Sun Wentai will definitely not be able to go to Shihe. ”
