Chapter 271: Life and Death
No matter what time it is, the commander as the leader is actually the spiritual pillar of an army, so when Tai Buhua leads people to flee the battlefield, the only outcome waiting for hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers is to perish. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Therefore, when Liu Futong, who had been waiting for an opportunity, led tens of thousands of elite old battalions to attack at night, these hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers and defenders collapsed in an instant under the double blow of the battalion roar and the betrayal of the commander.
And what follows is the most ruthless slaughter of the loser by the winner.
In the chaotic night, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers who had lost the will to fight were like pigs and dogs waiting to be slaughtered, and under the sharp knives of the old battalion of the Red Turban Army, this group of people simply did not have the ability to resist. So, when the sun rose again in the east, the great fortress, which stretched for miles, became a huge tomb filled with dead bodies.
……
"Hahahaha, the marshal has won a big victory, this is a complete victory! In last night's battle, the number of Tartars killed by the brethren alone was twenty or thirty thousand, and the number of Tartars killed by cannibalism in the rebellious army was about the same number. In this battle, there were sixty or seventy thousand corpses in the Tartar camp alone, and the Tartars were completely defeated this time. Saying this, Luo Wensu, who was covered in blood like a demon, couldn't help laughing again.
And looking at Luo Wensu, whose face was covered with blood like a ghost, laughing, Liu Futong, who was also covered in blood, couldn't help but smile at him after he slowly stood up from a small wooden stake: "I paid attention, there were still many remnants of the Tartars who fled in the direction of Zhuxian Town in the northwest last night. ”
"And the soldiers and horses on the western front of the Tartars, that is, the Tartar Pingzhang called Taibuhua, are also in the Weishi City forty miles south of Zhuxian Town. So we must take advantage of the victory to pursue, otherwise after the defeat of these Tartar remnants will be relieved, the defeat of 50,000 or 60,000 remnants will also be in the way, isn't it? Saying this, Liu Futong couldn't help laughing regardless of his image after the big victory.
And when he started laughing, Luo Wensu, who was standing opposite, couldn't help but smile and clenched his fists and said, "The last general will obey orders!" The last general will now go down and give orders, so that the brethren may be prepared. ”
However, after saying this, Luo Wensu's eyes rolled, and he couldn't help but clench his fists and said: "Lord Marshal, isn't his Zhang Shihua's Nanyang Army also stationed in Weichuan City, which is not far from the south of the Wei clan." I think we can give him an order at this time, and this guy in the province always has his idea of self-respect. ”
"Hold your own troops, hum!" Hearing Luo Wensu say this, Liu Futong thought about it, but he couldn't help but think of Zhang Shihua's previous reluctance to contribute. So after snorting coldly with great disdain, Liu Futong waved his hand and couldn't help but say: "In that case, then give me an order to him, this time I want to see if he has the courage to 'support the army and respect himself'." ”
After saying this, Liu Futong, who was obviously extremely confident and majestic, couldn't help but throw off his sleeves and leave this place.
……
A few hours later, in Weishi City, the time finally reached noon.
"Tai Lieutenant, Tai Lieutenant, something is wrong, something is wrong!" Just as Tai Buhua was eating silently as usual, an extremely frightened voice couldn't help but come to his ears from outside the tent.
"Yes, come in." Hearing such a voice, Tai Buhua, who was silently eating, frowned deeply, and couldn't help but put down the spoon in his hand gently, and said softly.
"Captain, something is wrong, something is wrong." Hearing Tai Buhua's order, the guards guarding the door couldn't help but let the scout in, but after entering the house, the panicked scout couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cry like this.
But seeing this, Tai Buhua scolded angrily: "Bastard, the sky hasn't fallen yet, what kind of body are you crying and crying!" If you have something to say, you can tell me slowly! ”
"Tai Lieutenant, there was a camp roar on the side of Lord Yexian last night, and more than half of the more than 100,000 troops were lost, completely defeated, completely defeated!" After being too unspoiled, after the scout was relieved, he couldn't help crying, and told Tai Buhua such bad news.
"What do you say, the Eastern Route Army is defeated, the Eastern Route Army is defeated, this is impossible, this is impossible!" Saying this, I couldn't help but faint without rolling my eyes.
"Captain! Captain! Seeing Tai Buhua fainting, the room couldn't help but feel like a pot had exploded, and the officers and soldiers shouted one by one, and they couldn't help but hurriedly help the unconscious Tai Buhua up from the ground.
"Quick! Come, come to the doctor, come to the doctor! After hurriedly helping Tai Buhua up, Tai Buhua's pro-guard guards couldn't help but shout at the others like this for the first time.
However, at this time, Tai Buhua, who was lying in the arms of his own personal guard commander, couldn't help but open his eyes after coughing lightly for a while.
"Quick, give the order, let the whole army gather, let the whole army gather!" After opening his eyes with great difficulty, Tai Buhua grabbed the sleeve of his own guard commander tightly, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and commanded with such a hideous face.
And seeing that Tai Buhua was like this, the commander of the personal guards, who originally wanted to advise Tai Buhua to pay more attention to his body, couldn't help swallowing the words in his heart, glaring angrily at the other pro-guard soldiers around him: "Quick, don't you hurry up and give me an order for Lord Taiwei!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Hearing this, the other guards around who reacted sang Fei Nuo for the first time, and then ran out in three steps and two steps.
……
Half an hour later, in the hall of the front hall of the General's Mansion where Tai Buhua temporarily settled in Wei City, Tai Buhua, who was wearing armor but had a pale face, couldn't help but hold his sword tightly and sit on the main seat in the hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the time of life and death, and we have no way out now. So, it's time for us to fight for our lives! The soldiers and horses on the East Road were defeated, and the Red Turban Thieves completely surpassed us in terms of strength this time, so if we stay in Weishi City, we will definitely be dead. ”
"Therefore, today I am also ready to lead all the soldiers and horses in the city to the north, so that I can make a last fight against the thief! And I don't know what the generals think? Tai Buhua, who sat down in charge, with a pale face but had been holding the sword tightly, looked at the generals under the tent with extremely sharp eyes, but at the same time, he couldn't help but say this word by word.
However, when the generals heard Tai Buhua's words, except for Liu Hara Buhua, who was sitting in the first place, the rest of the generals couldn't help but show a look of horror.
"Captain, it's too risky to go out of the city at this time. After all, there are still tens of thousands of black-clothed thieves in our south, and if our whole army leaves the Wei clan out of the city, then we won't be cut off by the black-clothed thieves. If it really comes to that time, under the attack from both sides, then we will not be a dead end! Because he heard the news of the fiasco of the Eastern Route Army, the general named Guanyinnu under the tent couldn't help but tremble while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
"So, you Guanyin Nu don't agree with this Taiwei's method?" Tai Buhua, whose face was extremely gloomy, stared coldly at the general called Guanyinnu, but couldn't help but ask.
"The last general doesn't dare, but ...... Well, ah! An extremely abrupt scream sounded instantly, and the rest of the generals in the hall looked at it, but they couldn't help but find that it was a personal guard under the Taibuhua tent who pierced the heart of the Guanyin slave with a sword from behind.
Looking at the blood splattered from Guanyinnu's chest, the other generals in the hall couldn't help but swallow the last mouthful of saliva with difficulty.
"Guanyin Nu disobeyed the order and has been executed by me, what about you?" At this moment, Tai Buhua, who was sitting on the main seat, once again let out his own gloomy voice.
And hearing this gloomy and cold voice again, the group of people in the hall couldn't help but shout in unison after they beat a spirit in unison: "We will obey the orders of the general, we will obey the orders of the general!" ”
"Very good, then everyone obeys the order, after an hour, the army will immediately start, this time I will fight to the death for that group of red turban thieves!" roared like this, and an abnormal flush suddenly appeared on his face, and Tai Buhua couldn't help but stand up from his seat violently.
And the generals under the tent saw that they were too unproductive, and while singing a fat promise in unison, they couldn't help but go down to prepare for the first time.
Therefore, just like this, only an hour later, the ten thousand elite soldiers under Tai Buhua's tent couldn't help but rush towards the direction of Zhuxian Town in the north under Tai Buhua's order.
At the same time, in Weichuan City, where Zhang Shihua was located, Zhang Shihua, who was the commander of the black-clothed army on the West Road, couldn't help but receive a military order from Liu Futong on the Eastern Front at this time.
"Nanyang Zhang Shumi obeyed the order, and Marshal Liu ordered: 'Last night, I personally led the East Route Army to break the Tartar camp, and now the remnants of the Tartar soldiers and horses have fled north. As soon as the military order arrives, it should be carried out immediately, and there must be no mistake! 'Zhang Shumi, take the order. The herald sent by Liu Futong held the brocade book in his hand and read the contents of the book to Zhang Shihua, who was kneeling on one knee, and then couldn't help but say this to Zhang Shihua.
When Zhang Shihua himself heard this, he had already guessed that this would be the result, and after singing a fat promise, he couldn't help but take the brocade book handed by the herald with both hands.
"Marshal Liu won a great victory, and the remnants of the Tartars were defeated and fled north, but I don't know how many remnants of the Tartars there were, and where they fled?" After getting up, Zhang Shihua held the brocade book in his hand and looked at the herald soldier, but he couldn't help asking.
"Back to the Privy Council, according to the investigation, the remaining remnants of the Tartars will definitely not exceed 50,000, and the direction of their northern escape is Zhuxian Town in the north of the Wei Clan. Therefore, as long as you lead your troops to the north now, under the attack of the two phases, the remnants of the Tartars will definitely be unable to escape. ”
"Okay, I see. I will now order the gathering of soldiers and horses, and you will also have Brother Lao. Ah Wu, took a few brothers down to rest, and came here to give orders without sleep, he must be tired. After smiling and answering the matter of calling the troops to the north, Zhang Shihua looked at the herald and couldn't help but give such an undoubted order.
And hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Li Wugao behind Zhang Shihua sang a fat promise, and couldn't help but take those people down.
And just after those people went down, Zhao Jiu and the others who were standing behind Zhang Shihua looked at each other, but they couldn't help but say: "General, let's ......."
"Okay, Zhao Jiu. I know what you're trying to say, but that's not what matters right now. So, quick, go down and gather the soldiers for me, and by this time we must also show something. Without waiting for Zhao Jiu to finish speaking, Zhang Shihua waved his hand but couldn't help but say like this.
Hearing Zhang Shihua's own instructions, Zhao Jiu and the others looked at each other again, but they couldn't help but clench their fists and strode back.
And until these people retreated one by one, Zhang Shihua looked at the sky in the north with his hands in his hands, and his eyes, which were still a little confused, couldn't help but become firm.
"No matter what the process is, no matter what the ending becomes, I won't fail after all, just wait!" With such a silent attitude in his heart, Zhang Shihua, who had taken off his civilian clothes, couldn't help but skillfully put on his armor, and held the sword in his hand and strode out of the general's mansion surrounded by Li Wu and others.
……
When Zhang Shihua led his eight thousand soldiers and horses across the Weishui River and went north to the captain's city, Tai Buhua and the others, who were marching rapidly with light soldiers, couldn't help but dare to rush to the chaotic Zhuxian Town before sunset.
"Zhuxian Town" is an ancient town with a long history in the Central Plains. Here, it is not only a place known to women and children in the story of Yue, but also a gateway to Kaifeng, a Xiangfu in the north.
Therefore, although this place is a township, after the outbreak of the Red Turban Rebellion, this place has gradually been transformed into a small fortress that can be used to store food and soldiers.
However, at this time, Zhuxian Town, because it was flooded with tens of thousands of deserters from Tongxu City, couldn't help but lose its former solemnity and tranquility and became chaotic.
After all, last night's camp roar and the night attack of the Red Turban Army and the first flight of the commander were too great a blow to these remnants of the defeated generals. Therefore, even though these remnants of the defeated soldiers fled to Zhuxian Town in search of a sense of security, they were still like a swarm of headless flies without the command of the commander.
But fortunately, when they were most confused and confused, as the commander of the Western Route Army and the political affairs of Pingzhang in Jiangbei Province, Tai Buhua finally rushed here like a banner, with the last hope of the tens of thousands of remnants of the defeated generals.
……
"Quick, immediately summon the remaining generals of 10,000 households in Zhuxian Town, and start to stabilize the order, and after half an hour, let all the generals come here to see me!" After coming to Zhuxian Town with the last hope, he didn't care about resting, and after riding a horse into the inspection department of Zhuxian Town, he couldn't help but give such orders to his subordinates at the first time.
When the soldiers under Tai Buhua heard such an order, after singing a fat promise, they began to make arrangements.
Therefore, after half an hour, after the situation in Zhu Xianzhen stabilized a little, some generals who were lucky enough to survive couldn't help but come to this inspection department one after another.
