Chapter 173: Breaking the Enemy and Winning Glory (Asking for Recommendation)

The situation after that can be imagined, under this unstoppable manpower offensive, dozens of red turban soldiers who charged in front of them were instantly lost under the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fortunately, it was also thanks to the soldiers under Bai Xi's command, who had become somewhat accustomed to this scene after months of fighting. Otherwise, just the attack just now would be enough to make the morale of the soldiers under Bai Xi's command plummet.

However, even so, such a loss can't help but make Bai Xi a little angry.

Therefore, after this, Bai Xi couldn't help but wave his knife and shouted: "Kill, whoever can rush to the city wall for me first, I will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver." ”

When the soldiers around heard Bai Xi's words, they couldn't help but become crazy again under the temptation of money.

"Kill!" I saw these red turban soldiers roaring again, and once again frantically attacking the stone wall of the security station.

Finally, under such a frantic attack, soon a red turban soldier in armor killed the city wall with a sword. "Die!" The thug roared angrily, and as soon as he climbed the city wall, he launched a frantic attack on the officers and soldiers around him.

And those officers and soldiers around them, where could they be the opponents of such a hundred battles in white-knuckle warfare. Therefore, in a matter of moments, the thug killed several officers and soldiers in a row.

However, just when this thug was about to gain a firm foothold on the city wall, it was still the original defender Baihu, but he took the opportunity to shoot this thug with an arrow, and once again stabilized the situation.

Seeing that the soldiers under his command who had managed to climb the city wall with great difficulty were also shot, Bai Xi couldn't bear it anymore. After all, this kind of thing is a one-time thing, if he can't do it in one fell swoop this time. Then, in the future, it is impossible for him to take this place before Zhang Shihua leads a large army here.

Therefore, when he saw that the soldier under his account was shot, Bai Xi, who was wearing armor, couldn't help but clench the war knife in his hand, turned over and dismounted, and personally led his personal guards to the security station not far away.

"Soldiers, kill with Ben! If you can take this city, I will ask the Lord of Wanhu for merit, and those who have made meritorious contributions such as Baoer will be old pawns in the army in the future! "The general is the courage of the army, Bai Xi's instinct to personally rush and kill is an extremely morale-boosting thing, and at this time, Bai Xi shouted these words again, which naturally made the morale of his soldiers skyrocket, and they all went to the wall of the security guard as if they were dying.

You must know that Zhang Shihua's army is divided into new and old soldiers.

"New pawns" can be known by looking at the name, in fact, they refer to those who have newly joined the Red Turban Army and Zhang Shihua's newly recruited soldiers. These people are almost at the lowest level in the army, and even their monthly military salary is only half of that of an old soldier, that is, 300 yuan, which is not much more than a miner.

And the old pawn, in Zhang Shihua's regulations, is a person who has been in the army for more than three years, or who has made meritorious contributions on the battlefield and has been beheaded. These people not only receive a higher monthly military salary, but also give priority to the selection of senior officers or low-level generals.

Therefore, the treatment of old pawns and new pawns can be described as one day and one place. Therefore, when Bai Xi shouted out that the security station was captured, and the meritorious person could be guaranteed as an old pawn, these soldiers under his command couldn't help but go crazy.

After all, among the thousands of households under Zhang Shihua's command, only the soldiers under Bai Xi's command had the smallest proportion of old soldiers.

In this case, Bai Xi's group of people in the army was naturally treated the worst. Faced with this situation, these soldiers under Bai Xi's command were already unwilling in their hearts, but at that time they didn't have any chance to prove themselves, so even if they were unwilling, they couldn't do anything.

But now, there is such a good opportunity to prove themselves and climb up, and naturally they can't afford not to work hard.

"Kill!" The crazy red turban sergeant once again rushed towards the small stone wall of the security station with unstoppable force like a monstrous wave.

"Die!" One after another the defenders were killed by the crazy Red Turban soldiers, and in such a situation, even Bai Xi, who had always seemed mild-mannered. At this time, he was covered in blood with a steel knife in his hand, and he couldn't help but look like a terrible devil.

"Die!" Another angry shout came, but I saw an armored Red Turban soldier under the cover of his comrades around him, and once again killed the city wall. And with such an example, in various other places, the Red Turban soldiers also killed the city wall one after another.

"Rush!" Outside the security station, the red turban sergeant shouted angrily again. At this time, the shouts and killings they let out had completely overshadowed the voices of those officers and soldiers.

At this time, the red turban soldiers were like tigers descending from the mountains, and their offensive was not comparable to these farmers and soldiers on the ground who had never been on the battlefield.

That is, in a moment, almost more than 100 red turban soldiers and soldiers took a firm foothold on the city wall with the momentum of thunder.

"Kill!" The shouts of the two soldiers fighting shook the wilderness, and the blood of the soldiers on both sides had almost stained this small stone wall pass. However, at this time, the battle situation has evolved from a scorching siege battle between the two sides to an almost one-sided white-knuckle battle.

In front of the well-trained and battle-hardened soldiers of the Red Turban Army, these nearly seventy percent of the farmers and soldiers who were forcibly conscripted by the government were not enough to see at all. It's okay to take advantage of the city wall, but without the city wall, the Red Turban Army is simply a wolf into the flock, and the gap between the two sides is immeasurable.

Even though the good envoy of the defenders is a rare brave general, as the saying goes, "two groups are hard to beat with four hands, and tigers are afraid of wolves." "Even if he really has a piece of iron, he can still carry a few nails.

Therefore, after the officers and soldiers beheaded five Red Turban soldiers on the city wall, they were surrounded by more than ten Red Turban soldiers and hacked to death.

When the surrounding defenders saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel even more frightened, and when they saw these people being horrified, they couldn't help but cry out sadly: "Zhang Baihu died in battle, Zhang Baihu died in battle!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the morale of the guards and soldiers around them who were still fighting was demoralized. After all, a general is the courage of a soldier, and even the generals have been killed, and the soldiers themselves have lost their courage, so how can they continue to fight. Therefore, in a matter of moments, these officers and soldiers formed a great rout.

"Kill the Tartar!" The earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded here, and hundreds of red turban sergeants and soldiers came one after another, like driving sheep, chasing and driving those defeated guards and soldiers everywhere.

Among them, the ones who were chased and killed by the Red Turban Sergeants and soldiers, in addition to those generals who fled, were those Yuanmeng people and Semu people in the army.

After all, as a peasant rebel army, although many of their beliefs, such as the birth of King Ming, the reincarnation of Maitreya, and the birthless old mother, are unrealistic things, their bitter hatred for the Yuanmeng people and the Semu people who ride on the heads of the Han people is the most realistic thing.

At this point, whether it is a pawn and a general like Bai Xi, or a White Lotus sect like Liu Futong and Wang Xianzhong, it is actually the same.

Anyway, in the Red Turban Army, any general of the Red Turban Army will never leave any Yuanmeng and Semu people as prisoners. The hundred-year-old blood feud between the two ethnic groups has already made the vast majority of the Han people burn that hatred into their bones, and this hatred, at this time, can only be resolved with blood.

"Kill!" When a red turban sergeant roared in anger and beheaded the last of the Lustful Men, the battle at the security station was finally over.

In this battle, which lasted two hours from beginning to end, in the second battle, the Red Turban Army killed and beheaded a total of 246 enemies and captured 733 people, that is, 1,000 officers and soldiers defending the city, and the number of people who survived and escaped in this battle is expected to be no more than 21.

It can be said that in this battle, Bai Xi and they are definitely annihilating the enemy. After all, a thousand people, that is, twenty-one people who escaped, are nothing if they are not completely annihilated.

However, for such a battle, Bai Xi and their casualties were also very large, in the first battle of security, Bai Xi's side, a total of 113 killed, 37 soldiers were injured, and the casualty ratio has exceeded 20%. Such a casualty ratio can already be called tragic for Bai Xi and them.

However, although the battle was so tragic, after the end of the battle, Bai Xi and his soldiers still seemed extremely happy.

After all, living in this era, people have long been accustomed to life and death, and they are naturally desensitized to such things as life and death. As the old saying goes, "People cannot be resurrected after death, but those who are alive must still live well." That's actually their attitude towards life.

If you live, then live happily, get promoted and make a fortune, drink wine in a big bowl, and eat meat; If you die, that's the calamity you deserve, and there's nothing to be sad about.

Besides, this time they defeated a thousand with 700 people, and took a pass, and made such a great feat, where is there any sad time, and the happiness is almost the same.

However, when Bai Xi and their side finished counting the results of the battle, Zhang Shihua led a large army to a place ten miles away from the security station. Therefore, when Bai Xi learned the news, he immediately asked a soldier to ride a war horse to report the good news to Zhang Shihua. Because now Bai Xita, he really can't wait.

At the same time, on Zhang Shihua's side, Zhang Shihua, who was leading a large army, naturally received the news that Bai Xi led the army to attack the security station almost an hour ago. To be honest, when Zhang Shihua received the news and told it to the other generals under his command.

None of these people really think that Bai Xi can set up a security station in half a day, such as Zhang Mingtong, after he knew about this matter, he directly suggested to Zhang Shihua, "The battle ahead has started, for the overall situation, please allow the last general to march first for support." ”

In and out of his words, he didn't think that Bai Xi could take a group of second-rate soldiers and lay down a well-guarded security station.

But things are sometimes so unpredictable, when the soldiers led by Zhang Shihua rushed to the security station ten miles away and were about to give the order to attack, a cavalry soldier rushed to the side with the news of Bai Xi's victory.

"Good news, General Bai defeated the enemy in one fell swoop and broke the enemy army; Good news, General Bai defeated the enemy in one fell swoop. General Qi Yu and General Bai broke the enemy army at the security station, beheaded 246 people, captured 733 people, and completely annihilated the enemy army. Now General Bai is leading his troops to rectify the security guards, please show the general. ”

Hearing the clear number of beheadings and prisoners of this soldier, Zhang Shihua didn't show anything, but Guo Yu and Zhang Mingtong next to Zhang Shihua couldn't help but show a look of surprise on their faces. Obviously, what Bai Xi did today really surprised the two of them.

However, just when the two of them were a little surprised by this, Zhang Shihua smiled happily at the soldier who came to give the order: "Okay, haha, this general really didn't see the wrong person, General Bai is really a good general of our army." ”

After saying such a compliment, Zhang Shihua smiled and said to the cavalry who came to give the order: "You go and send a message to General Bai now, let him reorganize and garrison at the security station, and the general will go to see him now." ”

"The villain obeys." When the rider heard Zhang Shihua's words, he couldn't help but reply with joy on his face.

Then he saw that when the rider had said this, he turned on his horse and departed. And after Zhang Shihua saw the cavalry leave, he couldn't help but say to Zhang Mingtong and Guo Yu behind him with a smile on his face: "Come on, come with Ben and go to 'our' security station to have a look." ”

After saying this, Zhang Shihua also took his personal guards and turned on his horse, and led the army to rush in the direction of security.

Half an hour later, in front of the blood-stained stone wall gate of the security station, Bai Xi, who was wearing armor and half of his body covered in blood, was leading the seven hundred household officials in the army and his brother-in-law Yue Bo Khan, who was deputy to the thousand households, and was respectfully waiting for Zhang Shihua's arrival.

Seeing the appearance of the soldiers holding high the handsome flag, Bai Xi and the others all lowered their heads. And when they saw Zhang Shihua wearing armor and wearing armor, surrounded by personal guards, and riding a tall horse, appeared in front of them, Bai Xi took the generals under his command to kneel on one knee to Zhang Shihua, who came on horseback, and bowed loudly: "The last general, Bai Xi, meet the general." ”

With such a greeting sentence, Bai Xi said with full confidence and a high-pitched voice, showing his current strong nature.

And Zhang Shihua, who came on horseback, saw this scene, but he couldn't help but smile on his face. I saw that after he first received a salute from Bai Xi, he turned over and dismounted, strode in front of Bai Xi, helped Bai Xi up from the ground with his own hands, and said to Bai Xi: "General Bai has worked hard. ”

When Bai Xi heard Zhang Shihua's words, he had a straight face, lowered his head and said to Zhang Shihua: "For the general, the last general will not dare to say hard work." ”

When Zhang Shihua heard Bai Xi's words, no matter whether what Bai Xi said was true or not, Zhang Shihua still couldn't help but show a touch of emotion on his face. After seeing him, he kindly took Bai Xi's arm and said to Bai Xi: "General Bai, come, I want the general to tell the general about breaking the enemy for the general." ”

"The last will obey his own commands." Seeing Zhang Shihua like this, Bai Xi couldn't help but laugh like this.
