Chapter 272: The Battle for Life

"Taiwei, Buddha bless, you can be regarded as coming, if you don't come again, we people really don't know what to do. "In the back hall of the inspection department in Zhuxian Town, an embarrassed Wanhu official couldn't help but be so happy after seeing Yexian, who had been crying with a sad face.www.biquge.info

However, for his words, Ye Xian was not in the mood to pay attention to it at this time, he just waved his hand to let this person sit down, and then couldn't help but look at this person: "Hunet, let me ask you, how many soldiers and horses does this Zhuxian Town have, and in addition to these soldiers and horses, where did the first privy go?" ”

"This ......" Hearing Tai Buhua's straightforward question, the extremely embarrassed middle-aged Wanhu official Kunate paused slightly, and then couldn't help but say: "Back to the Taiwei, I really don't dare to hide it from the Taiwei, the last general just led the remnants of the 3,000 men and horses under his command to flee to this Zhuxian Town at noon today, so I don't know the geometry of the soldiers and horses in Zhuxian Town, I only know that the soldiers and horses should be about 30,000 people." ”

"As for the first privy council, as far as the last general knows, as early as this morning, the first privy councillor fled from Zhuxian Town, as if he was taking more than a thousand horsemen to Kaifeng. And it was because of Lord Yexian's northward escape that tens of thousands of people fled north one after another today, leaving only us in Zhuxian Town. ”

"Damn, this bastard first!" Hearing that Yexian, who was the commander-in-chief, had left the remnants of his army and fled north early in the morning, Tai Buhua, who had calmed down his emotions, couldn't help but scold like this.

However, after scolding angrily, he had to work hard to suppress the anger in his heart. After all, in this time of life and death, there is no time for him to scold.

Therefore, after scolding angrily, Tai Buhua, who was sitting on the main seat, couldn't help but close his eyes and pretend to sleep, waiting for the arrival of the remaining generals.

……

"Captain, the generals have already arrived, and now they are waiting for you in the front hall." Almost two quarters of an hour later, as soon as the remaining generals came, the commander of Tai Buhua's personal guard couldn't help but attach himself to Tai Buhua's ear, and whispered to Tai Buhua, who was pretending to sleep.

And Tai Buhua, who was in a false sleep, heard this, and slowly opened her sharp eyes, and then couldn't help but get up and say to Kunart, who was sitting and waiting: "Okay, Kunart, come with me, it's time to decide our life and death!" After saying this, Tai Buhua couldn't help but stride away.

And hearing Tai Buhua say this, the embarrassed Kunaite couldn't help but follow Tai Buhua into the front hall after taking a deep breath.

"Taiwei, Buddha bless, you are here, I will wait to meet Taiwei, meet Taiwei!" When the armor-clad Tai Buhua appeared in the front hall with a dignified face, the dozen or so generals who were lucky enough to survive in the front hall couldn't help but bow like this. Obviously, what happened last night hit them so hard that these generals have not been able to calm their minds until now.

However, there is no surprise that it is too much to spend. After all, even he was extremely frightened by last night's defeat, let alone these people.

Therefore, after nodding silently to the dozen or so generals who were lucky enough to survive in this hall, Tai Buhua couldn't help but wave his hand to let them sit down.

"Gentlemen, I won't say much nonsense, you know better than me what kind of situation it is now. As far as I know, when you were defeated and fled for your lives to Zhuxian Town, the pursuers of the Red Turban Thieves also came to kill. ”

"The reason why we couldn't catch up with you in time is just because there were too many officers and soldiers who were defeated along the way, which seriously delayed their time. But even so, it is estimated that by tomorrow morning, the pursuers of the Red Turban Thieves will be killed here. ”

"So at this time, there really isn't much time left for us!" Looking at the embarrassed generals in the hall, Tai Buhua not only did not comfort them, but slowly said such words.

And when these panicked generals heard such words, they couldn't help but be frightened: "This, this, what should be done!" Captain, let's go to the north too, after all, with our soldiers and horses, if we are against that group of red turban thieves, there is really no life or death. ”

"Yes, Tai Lieutenant, our troops are far inferior to the Red Turban Thief, and because of last night's defeat, the morale of the soldiers has also fallen to the bottom.

I have to say that after last night's incident, the group of officers and soldiers present here can be regarded as frightened. Therefore, when they knew that the red turban thieves were likely to chase after them, this group of officers and soldiers looked at each other, but they couldn't help but say such words.

However, for such a case, it is naturally impossible to allow it without spending too much.

Therefore, after the generals and officials in the hall said that they were going to flee north, they stared at them with gloomy faces, and they couldn't help but say angrily word by word: "Go north, I think you want to flee north!" You have to use your brains to think about it, the north is Kaifeng Mansion, which is Bianliang Mansion City, but the Mansion City where the Prince of Wenji sits! ”

"Think about it with your heads, if you really let the red turban thief hit the outside of Kaifeng Mansion, who of you here can afford this responsibility! Do you really think that the court will not cut off the heads of you and me! With a gloomy face, he stared at the frightened generals in the hall, and he couldn't help but shout like this.

However, at this moment, such an angry roar is obviously of no use to these generals who were frightened by last night's fighting.

After all, compared to the court punishment that will not yet be known in the future, the red turban army sword in front of them is undoubtedly more fearful to them. So after Tai Buhua shouted such words, the generals in the hall couldn't help but bow their heads silently.

And seeing this scene, Tai Buhua, who had always had a gloomy face, couldn't help but sigh.

"I know what you're worried about, so don't worry, I won't need you in this battle, and all you have to do is take care of the 30,000 soldiers who remain in this Zhuxian Town. As for the red turban thieves in the east, I'll deal with them! Do you understand? After a long sigh, Tai Buhua looked at these people again, but he couldn't help but say so.

And this is really going to make a big difference at this moment. After hearing Tai Buhua say this, the generals sitting in the hall looked at each other, but they couldn't help but cheer up again.

However, after cheering up, the guilty Wanhu official Gunat couldn't help but ask worriedly: "But Tai Lieutenant, you must know that the Red Turban Thieves have as many as 140,000 soldiers and horses at this time, and if you add the group of black-clothed thieves on the West Road, they are invincible without an army of 200,000." How do you stop such a group of troops? ”

Hearing Kunart's question, Tai Buhua, who was sitting in the main seat, was silent for a moment, but he couldn't help but say with a gloomy face: "At this moment, it is obviously impossible to block this group of red turban thieves head-on with our troops. So at this moment, if we want to win, we can only win by surprise. ”

"And if it is surprising, at this time, it is nothing more than 'treating others the way they do'. Therefore, tonight I am going to select 8,000 elite soldiers, and then personally lead these 8,000 elite soldiers to ambush them at night on the road to the west. ”

"This group of red turban thieves has just won a big victory, and it should be the time for them to be blindly arrogant. So at this time, they definitely didn't expect that our group of remnants would have the courage to take the initiative to attack. Therefore, tonight's active ambush and night attack should also be our biggest and last chance. ”

"So whether we live or die in the group depends on this battle!" said so slowly, the gloomy face couldn't help but become extremely determined.

And when the generals in the hall heard Tai Buhua's words, some of the generals who still had courage in their hearts couldn't help but fall into the battle between heaven and man.

"Captain, you're right, tonight's battle should be our last. So Captain, I hope I can join this battle and kill the enemy with you, and I hope you will allow it. "I have to say that there are still courageous people among these generals. This is not after the war between heaven and man for a long time, the middle-aged Wanhu official Gunat couldn't help but be the first to stand up and say so.

And perhaps because of his example, three Wanhu officials took the initiative to stand up and express their willingness to fight with Tai Buhua.

And Tai Buhua, who has always had a gloomy face, couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

"Haha, that's good. With your help me, this battle will be won! ”

……

At night, outside Zhuxian Town, after killing cattle and sheep to make an incomparably sumptuous dinner for his eight thousand elite soldiers, Tai Buhua, who was a captain, couldn't help but personally lead these eight thousand soldiers to the east to kill at night. Obviously, this is like what Tai Buhua said in the evening, they are ready to make a final fight with the oncoming Red Turban Army.

On the other hand, the situation of the Red Turban Army led by Liu Futong is actually similar to what Tai Buhua expected. Because a decisive victory has just been won, the morale of the current Red Turban Army is bursting, and the vigilance of the whole army cannot help but be greatly reduced.

They defined their westward march as chasing the dead and chasing the north, and even so arrogant that the front army did not send vanguard scouts, so more than 100,000 people formed a formation on the official road that was more than ten miles long and advanced.

So under such a situation, the marching speed of the Red Turban Army led by Liu Futong couldn't help but slow down to the extreme. As a result, this huge army did not reach the suitable camp in front of it until the sun went down, but chose a random place to rest on the official road, and even the formation did not change.

"Hurry up, all hurry up and set up the tents, and rest quickly after dinner, and we'll continue to chase those damn Tartars tomorrow." After nightfall, on the dusty official road, a red turban general couldn't help urging his soldiers like this.

When the soldiers under their command heard this urging, they were full of confidence and began to make a fire to cook after skillfully setting up their tents beside the official road.

Because the war is not over yet, the food of the Red Turban Army is still the same. Food with a very small amount of salt in the meal can fade out of the bird, and such food will obviously not bring any other satisfaction than filling one's stomach.

And in the midst of the march, the military regulations are strict and in the wilderness. Therefore, after the red turban soldiers had eaten their stomachs again, it was naturally impossible to find any other entertainment activities at night, so after this group of people had eaten their fill, they naturally went to bed early as the group of generals said.

For most of the low-level soldiers, all this was obviously no different from the usual march.

The only difference is that because of their big victory, the group of nocturnal people in the scout camp can rest and rest normally.

But who would have thought that when they, the soldiers and horses chasing the north were resting here peacefully, the group of Tartar soldiers who had already broken through their courage and were already frightened when they thought about it would take advantage of the night to quietly touch them.

……

Late at night, at the end of the hour. In a dense forest, Tai Buhua, who has always seemed to be in the chest, couldn't help but wait silently, and silently wiped the sweat from his palms on his clothes again and again. And from this point, it can be known that he is obviously too unspent and nervous.

"Captain, those who sent out are back." In other words, just when Tai Buhua silently wiped the sweat from his palms on his clothes again, a personal guard suddenly came to his side and reported to him like this.

And hearing such a report, the heartbeat of Tai Buzhi, who had been silent, couldn't help but speed up a lot. However, after all, Tai Buhua is a person who has a city government and has seen big scenes, so in order to stabilize people's hearts, after hearing this, Tai Buhua still said in a tone of joy and anger: "Quick, let them come and see me." ”

"Subordinates obey!" Seeing that Tai Buhua was so calm, the nervous mouth was dry, and his legs were a little weak, and after singing a fat promise in admiration, he couldn't help but bring those few Ye Bushu to Tai Buhua.

"Captain, you are really like a god, those red turban thieves are really not guarded at all, we people have touched them, and they have not noticed us. So we can conclude that this group of red turban thieves definitely did not send a single night guard and scout around. After striding in front of Tai Buhua, this group of Ye Buhua, who had been holding on to death before, couldn't help but be so happy when they saw Tai Buhua.

And when Tai Buhua himself heard this, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes. He tried his best to be moody, but he couldn't help but smile and said, "Very good." Quick, pass the order, let the soldiers rush forward, and in an hour, we will start a night attack! ”
