Section 2 Battle of Pingyang Fucheng (2)
The cold wind in the cold winter is cold, dripping into ice, and the cold wind in the night seems to be hung with a layer of white frost, cutting any living creature walking outside like a knife, and the vast earth seems to have become a forbidden place in the world.
Outside the west gate of Pingyang Prefecture, Lao Huihui drove 50,000 troops, 400,000 displaced people, and 200,000 people in the city outside the city, and set up a huge and chaotic camp, preparing to start a big battle with the official army the next day, and use the numerical advantage to consume the strength of the official army.
In this huge camp, 200,000 people in Pingyang Mansion City live outside, 400,000 homeless people, and 50,000 thieves are located closest to the west gate, and only thousands of thieves and soldiers are constantly patrolling and guarding among the people and homeless people to prevent anyone from escaping. Because Lao Huihui could not raise enough military tents, warm clothes and fuel, although the night outside the city was extremely cold, everyone was not a single identity, and they could only hide in simple nests, warm each other with their bodies, without the slightest cover, and let the cold wind blow on their bodies.
Only the army of 50,000 thieves was equipped with a small number of military tents, but there was no fuel at all, so they could only hide in the tents and endure hard, hoping for the dawn to come.
As the night deepened, the chill outside the city became more and more pressing, and the people and homeless people who had no means to protect themselves from the cold suddenly fell into the brink of life and death, and many old and frail people and children were frozen, frostbitten, and even frozen to death by the cold weather.
Gradually, under the threat of death and the fear of losing their loved ones, hundreds of thousands of displaced people and ordinary people began to commotion, and more and more angry people began to gather in the camp of the thieves in the innermost place, and the crowd was clamoring to enter the city to escape the cold. However, because the number of the thieves and soldiers who remained in the camps of the people and the homeless camps was too small, the thousands of people could not stop the anger of hundreds of thousands of people, and they could only watch as countless angry people gathered in the direction of the thieves' camp, and the situation gradually began to get out of control.
After receiving the news, Lao Huihui was immediately furious, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately gathered all the 50,000 troops outside the city, divided the army into 10 teams with 5,000 people as a team, and opened a large camp to suppress the commotion of the homeless people and the people, and prepared to use force to drive these "cannon fodder" back to their own nests.
In the blink of an eye, the entire west of Pingyang Mansion City was full of people, countless helpless old people, women, and children were crying, and those young people were in conflict with the army of thieves, and many places were shouting and killing, and the miserable screams added a touch of bright red color to the cold night, shaking everyone's hearts.
"Pass the order, and whoever is unwilling to go back will be killed regardless of men, women, and children! The situation must be calmed down as soon as possible, and it must not be delayed, otherwise how will the soldiers of the righteous army have the strength to meet the officers and soldiers tomorrow? ”
Lao Hui shouted loudly at the heralds beside him, giving inhuman orders with hideous faces, and the heralds seemed to have long been accustomed to the scene before them, and they all scattered without surprise and ran into the chaotic night.
Just when Lao Huihui thought that the situation was about to be calmed down by himself, he suddenly heard a loud sound in the night. After listening carefully for a while, Lao Huihui found that in addition to the cries and roars of those homeless people and ordinary people, there seemed to be some other sounds mixed in with them. At the same time, the war horse under Lao Huihui's crotch also seemed a little restless, constantly trampling on the four hooves, looking extremely uneasy and very alert.
Seeing this situation, Lao Hui didn't have time to think about it, but felt a strong sense of crisis suddenly rise in his heart, and immediately shouted: "The whole army has withdrawn to the camp!" Enemy attack! ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a very obvious roar in the dark night in the west, which was a loud noise that only the elite iron cavalry army could make!
Lao Hui looked back at the 50,000 army that was still entangled among hundreds of thousands of homeless people and ordinary people, and the sound of iron hooves in his ears was heard in his ears, and a deep sense of despair surged in his heart.
"It's over! It's all over! ”
At this time, Lao Huihui knew very well in his heart that the hundreds of thousands of "cannon fodder" stranded outside the city would not consume a single bit of the strength of the officers and soldiers, at best, they could only block the speed of the charge of the officers and troops, and would not improve the situation at all; And the 50,000 army seemed to be half of their bodies in the ground, and they were already doomed to death in the face of the night attack of the official army!
Thinking of this, Lao Huihui roared angrily, and immediately led hundreds of horses around him to rush towards Pingyang Mansion City, preparing to flee into the city and lead the 20,000 troops in the city to defend the city.
"Maybe Zhang Xianzhong in the north can defeat the official army and return in time, after that...... "I don't know what else will happen after the old return, it seems that the future is full of gloom, and there is no hope in sight."
"In the future, if you can live one day at a time, let's count it as a day!"
With the heavy closure of the west gate of Pingyang Prefecture, hundreds of thousands of homeless people and civilians outside the city, as well as an army of 50,000 thieves, were all blocked out. It didn't take long for the 20,000 thieves in the city to flood the city walls, all of them guarding the city walls nervously, watching the dark night outside the city.
At the same time, according to Liu Yunwei's plan, Guo Yi, who attacked the thief camp at night, was very annoyed, although he had already led the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry to rush into the chaotic crowd, but because there were panicked and fleeing people and displaced people along the way, the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry soldiers could only ride horses and jog, and they could not increase their speed at all, which was fatal to the Iron Cavalry soldiers!
On the other hand, Wei Wuhu, who led the Iron Cavalry Army of the Yue Cavalry Battalion into the crowd, also frowned, facing innocent people and displaced people, Wei Wuhu could only lead the Iron Cavalry soldiers to gall on horseback, just like Guo Yi, and he could not form an impact at all.
You must know that at this time, there is still an army of 50,000 thieves mixed in the crowd, and as time goes by, the situation of the iron cavalry soldiers of the Hanwei Army is bound to become extremely dangerous.
Just when Guo Yi and Wei Wuhu were at a loss, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded in the dark night, and then the roars of countless soldiers were heard in all directions, neat and majestic, making those panicked homeless people and ordinary people feel unprecedented peace of mind.
"With the order of the general manager and the army to exterminate the thieves and rebels, the people and others immediately walked to the nearby officials and soldiers with their hands held high, so that they could live, otherwise they would all be killed!"
Under the urging of countless shouts from all directions, hundreds of thousands of homeless people and ordinary people helped the old and the young to walk towards the nearest officials and soldiers with their hands raised, and gradually the originally chaotic bandit camp returned to tranquility.
By sunrise, there was no trace of the homeless people and the common people in the entire camp of the thieves, and only 50,000 thieves were left, huddled together and looked in horror at the large array of officers and soldiers who were encircling them.
I saw that under the light of the morning glow, Liu Yunwei commanded the Hanwei Army Pacesetter Battalion and the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and nearly 100,000 troops from all directions surrounded by the troops of the three governors Hong Chengchou and the Xuanda Governor Zhang Zongheng.
Countless firefighters and archers from the official army crossed out of the large formation and began to fire at the army of 50,000 thieves. After a fierce beating, Guo Yi and Wei Wuhu took the lead in leading a total of more than 20,000 soldiers of each battalion of iron cavalry to launch a charge, while the rest of the infantry soldiers also followed, roaring and rushing towards the army of thieves who had begun to disperse.
In this way, Liu Yunwei miraculously spent half a night, and at a very small price, under the frightened gaze of the old Huihui and the 20,000 thieves in the city, he annihilated all the 50,000 thieves outside the city, leaving not a single living mouth!
After the end of the war, looking at the innocent people who died tragically at the hands of the thief soldiers on the battlefield, looking at the old people and children who were frozen to death, everyone including Liu Yunwei, Hong Chengchou, Zhang Zongheng and other commanders felt deep anger, and they couldn't wait to kill all the thieves in the city, so as to relieve the hatred in their hearts.
And those angry officers and soldiers were even more furious, and many soldiers even beheaded the corpses of the thieves on the battlefield, and put the heads of the thieves one after another into a Jingguan, which was piled up outside the west gate of Pingyang Mansion City.
After Liu Yunwei, Hong Chengchou, Zhang Zongheng and others learned about it, no one came forward to stop them, and they all acquiesced. In addition, Liu Yunwei also ordered all the soldiers to immediately surround the city of Pingyang, and prepare to start a siege battle after a short rest. At the same time, Liu Yunwei also ordered Zhang Zongheng to be responsible for the relief of hundreds of thousands of displaced people and people, in order not to freeze to death or starve to death a single person, Liu Yunwei even used the army's food and grass supplies to save those displaced people and people.
Lao Huihui and the 20,000 thieves in the city were all shocked when they saw this, and the morale of the army began to collapse rapidly, and all parts of the thief army even began to desert, and many people secretly planned to secretly open the city gate and surrender to the official army, in exchange for the official army to leave their lives.
After Lao Huihui learned the secret report under his heart, his scalp was suddenly numb. At this time, Lao Hui understood in his heart that anyone in the city could surrender, only he could not surrender, so he killed so many people by himself last night, and once he surrendered, he would inevitably be cut by the officials and soldiers!
As a result, Lao Huihui immediately sent his henchmen to take over the four gates of Pingyang Mansion City, and at the same time strictly investigated rebellion in the city, arresting hundreds of people in one day. Moreover, Lao Huihui did not interrogate at all, only to see that in front of the whole army, all these hundreds of people were indiscriminately beheaded and displayed to the public. All of a sudden, the morale of the 20,000 thieves in the city was low, the people were panicked, and they were even more detached from the old return, and there were not many people who were willing to fight to the death with the officials and soldiers to defend the city.
