Chapter Thirty-Eight: The General Fought a Hundred Battles
Not only Huang Xiu, but the generals next to him were also stunned when they heard it, as if they didn't believe the authenticity of this matter.
Na Lei Zhe thought for a while, and said very suspiciously: "This is impossible, Song Ruoyu's army is all here, but our Yancheng still has five thousand elite soldiers, plus the defense level of Yancheng itself, this is ...... How could this Song Ruoyu have other armies vacated to attack the city? ”
As we all know, if it is according to the usual siege battle, the attacking side must at least twice as many troops as the defender, Huang Xiu and they also took this into account, so they only left 5,000 elite soldiers in the city, thinking that Yancheng would be in a safe position by doing so, but they didn't expect Song Ruoyu to act so boldly and attack Yancheng directly.
In this way, Song Ruoyu's previous actions will be reasonable. If Song Ruoyu's purpose from the beginning was to attack Yancheng, then trapping his army and not being able to get out was the greatest help for him to attack the city.
Thinking of this, all the generals secretly gasped in their hearts, and then looked at this Song Ruoyu with a look like a great enemy, and saw that Song Ruoyu was still looking at his side with a smile, and couldn't help but think in his heart, what a name for Panlong, it really deserves its name.
Of course, now that they were in no mood to admire their opponent, when Huang Xiu was still in a state of extreme shock, Li Dong couldn't sit still.
Li Dong frowned, and said to this Huang Xiu: "General, now our army can't fall in love with war, the top priority is to hurry back to rescue Yancheng." ”
Of course, Huang Xiu knows the importance of this Yancheng, once Yancheng falls, let alone defeat Song Ruoyu, even if he wins Song Ruoyu, he will become a dead army, located in the territory of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and if he does not help, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Huang Xiu's face showed a cold light, stared at Song Ruoyu tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you Song Ruoyu, it's really a good means." ”
Then he couldn't care about his own face, so he hurriedly shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Pass my general's order, the whole army retreats, and you must rush back to Yancheng as soon as possible." ”
As soon as the soldiers of the Liang army heard that this Yancheng was about to be lost, they were also shocked, they couldn't care so much, and after hearing that Huang Xiu's general order was reached, they began to retreat quickly, even if they were defeated by Song Ruoyu now, at least they could still retreat to Yancheng to hold on, but once Yancheng was lost, then they really had no way out.
So the Liang army was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and hurriedly ran in the direction of Yancheng, lest they would lose Yancheng if they were too late, but they had tried the taste of attacking Yancheng.
Corpses are strewn all over the field, bloody and miserable.
After seeing this Huang Xiu say a few words, Song Ruoyu's army began to retreat, and a pair of eyes were also staring at Song Ruoyu, expecting this Song Ruoyu to give him an idea.
Song Ruoyu didn't speak, but simply waved his hand, and then heard the low horn sound slowly sounding, and the horn sound was like the earth choking, continuous and tense. The black and oppressive Northern Jin Dynasty army opened a long formation with the gradually stronger horn sound, just like the black clouds pressing the city, which made people feel the pressure on their faces.
The speed of the Jin army is not fast, but the momentum is very pressing, it didn't take long for Song Ruoyu's army to assemble, and began to kill the Liang army that fled in a hurry, with the footsteps of these tens of thousands of soldiers, the earth seemed to tremble, as if roaring the weight that had been borne for thousands of years.
The iron armor of the army was faintly shining with the cold light of slaughter in the cold west wind, and the sword in his hand seemed to be the impermanence of life, which made people feel frightened and fearful.
More than 10,000 soldiers of the Northern Jin Dynasty, neatly formed and orderly, row by row, column by column, chased after the Liang army, the momentum was earth-shattering, the air was filled with a tense and cold atmosphere, the blood of the soldiers was boiling, and the killing god of death was smiling.
Huang Xiu saw from a distance that the Jin army was coming straight to him, and suddenly he was a little panicked, thinking that he could show his skills in such a big battle, but now he can only be slaughtered like fish on a chopping board, and his heart is a panic of grievance, of course, there is also a little fear.
Not only him, but even the retreating soldiers of the Liang Army heard the sound of thunder coming from behind him like a torrent of desolation, and they were also very nervous, and even their movements slowed down a little, as if they were frightened by the momentum of the Jin army.
Li Dong's face was embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth and said to Huang Xiu: "After the last general asks for his life, block this Song Ruoyu's army, and the general can quickly evacuate to relieve the danger of Yancheng." ”
After listening to Li Dong's words, Huang Xiu looked at him with a stunned expression, not only Huang Xiu, but also Lei Zhe and the other soldiers were very surprised, and they were immediately moved by this Li Dong's courage.
This is a mortal situation, in the face of Song Ruoyu's main army, don't say that a single army of soldiers and horses is left to block, even if the entire Liang army is added up, it may not be able to take advantage. Everyone knows that as long as they stay, it is equivalent to almost exchanging their lives for the evacuation time of the army, how can this not move them.
Before Huang Xiu could speak, this Lei Zhe was cross-hearted, and he clenched his fists forward and said, "General, let's stay and let General Li assist the general in leading the army to retreat." ”
"No, let's let the last general go." When Li Dong heard this, how could he let Lei Zhe go, of course, he hurriedly interrupted.
Without waiting for Huang Xiu to speak, Li Dong turned his head and left, yelling at the troops he belonged to: "Brothers, follow me." After finishing speaking, he didn't stop, and rushed directly towards Song Ruoyu's army.
When the soldiers under him heard this, they almost didn't hesitate, and followed Li Dong's figure towards Song Ruoyu's army, without the slightest fear on their faces.
Huang Xiu frowned slightly when he saw the back of Li Dong giving up, and shouted to the army: "Army, retreat." ”
He knew that Li Dong's approach was probably to send him to death, but he really needed such a substitute ghost to buy him time to rescue Yancheng, whether it was Li Dong, Lei Zhe, or other generals. Now this Li Dong actually led the troops by himself, of course, this was according to Huang Xiu's wishes, and he did not hesitate at the moment, so he quickly ordered the army to withdraw.
Lei Zhe and the generals looked at the figure of Li Dong in the distance, until they were submerged in the layers of the army and never saw it again, and they also had red eyes, although they had seen too many life and death partings on the battlefield, but it was the first time for a general like Li Dong who dared to sacrifice his life and forget his death, and he couldn't help but be in awe of this Li Dong.
When Song Ruoyu saw that there was a general in the Liang army who led thousands of soldiers to turn back, and it seemed that he was going to confront them head-on, he was also quite surprised, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
What a loyal warrior.
Of course, admiration is admiration, this battle still has to be fought.
Then Song Ruoyu saw that this Li Dong was coming, sighed slightly, and said to Li Dong: "General Li, why are you suffering?" ”
When Li Dong heard Song Ruoyu's words, he snorted coldly a few times, and then replied: "Don't talk nonsense, now that my three thousand sons are standing here, if you want to pursue my three armies, you have to step over the corpses of us." After finishing speaking, his eyes were sharp and threatening, strong and tragic.
At this time, the three thousand Liang troops also looked like they were at home, holding spears in their hands and wearing iron armor, standing tall on this vast earth, as if there was a kind of dignity and pride that was close to heaven and earth.
Li Dong didn't wait for Song Ruoyu to speak, he raised his long knife and shouted: "Brothers, kill." ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The sound is like a long rainbow, and the air permeates the world.
With the sound of the low horn, these three thousand Nanliang heroes rushed straight towards the mighty Song Ruoyu army, and they all had red eyes, but they did not shed tears; There was a glint in their eyes, an indescribable light, which made people feel the pride of seeing death as home, and a rather helpless desolation.
Song Ruoyu saw that Li Dong didn't talk to him at all and went straight to him, frowned slightly, and waved his hand towards the army in the rear. Then the horn of the Northern Jin Dynasty also sounded endlessly, and between heaven and earth, there was a chilling atmosphere.
The horses neighed and the dust was flying.
Song Ruoyu's army pulled away, and rushed straight towards Li Dong's team.
After a while, the two armies collided fiercely, and the Northern Jin Dynasty male soldier showed a hideous face, his eyes were cold, and he clenched the big sword and spear in his hand, and stabbed at this Li Dong's Liang soldier fiercely.
For a time, the blood stained the land for a long time, and the sky was slaughtered.
That Li Dong held the mentality of seeing death as home, constantly waving the big knife in his hand in this chaotic world, he saw that the brothers around him fell one after another, he was sad but not sad, he only wanted to delay for a while as much as possible, waiting for the army to come to the rescue of Yancheng.
The three thousand Liang soldiers were the opponents of Song Ruoyu's main army, and in a short time, the three thousand Liang soldiers lost most of them and were surrounded by the Northern Jin army.
Song Ruoyu saw that this Li Dong was already a trapped beast fight, so he ordered the whole army to stop attacking, and then stared at this Li Dong and stopped talking.
That Li Dong didn't care what the battle situation was, all he wanted to think about now was to kill, kill, kill again, he was covered in blood, covered with scars, exuding a terrifying murderous aura, and a pair of eyes stared coldly at the Northern Jin Dynasty soldiers and horses around him. Suddenly, he noticed that the Jin army had stopped attacking, and then he saw this Song Ruoyu standing tall in front of the army from a distance.
After a while, he suddenly burst out laughing and shouted to the only dozens of Liang soldiers on his side: "Rush! ”
The voice permeated the heavens and the earth, the last roar of a hero's death, and the heart of a loyal minister who sacrificed his life when he was in danger, tragic and brave, which made Song Ruoyu's three armies also a little moved.
Song Ruoyu just looked at them quietly and didn't speak.
The sun shines brightly, rising from the east, and the dazzling brilliance is sprinkled on this land that has experienced blood and fire, reflecting a brilliant light.
When Song Ruoyu felt this warm light, he closed his eyes slightly, and muttered to himself:
"The general fought a hundred battles, his liver and gall, to the south beam, overlooking the fame and red dust; Looking back, the old people are gone, the sad song is not thorough, and a line of tears can't be kept, sad, sad. ”
