Chapter 1017: Escalation of the conflict

Xiao Lengzi was captured alive.

He thought he could hold it up. At the end of the day, it was still possible to break through the siege and flee, but when the wind-chasing battalion drowned his more than 2,000 cavalry like a tide, and when his soldiers were stabbed to the ground by the opponent's horse lance like a stake, and were cut in two by the ring head knife, he sadly discovered that it turned out that the cavalry of Great Qin Xian was really incomparable with the opponent.

He was stabbed through the thigh by two horse lances, and knocked off the horse's back by a knife, when he woke up, he had been tied up by four horses, and the general's clothes he was wearing made the Ming army not kill him on the spot, but this made him feel extremely humiliated.

He watched as his soldiers were wiped out in pieces, and he watched those who had fled from the desert being chased around like rabbits by the Ming army.

Maybe there will still be a lot of people who escape, but after this battle, I am afraid that they will no longer have the courage to confront the Ming army.

With a bang, he was heavily slammed in front of Yu Chao's horse by a big big man and three thick, with his head down, and immediately fell into a mouth to gnaw mud, he stubbornly raised his head, spit out the sand in his mouth, and glared at Yu Chao who was high above.

"I have noticed you, I have three brothers who have died at your hands." Yu Chao poked the tip of the horse lance in his hand at Xiao Lengzi on the ground, and said coldly.

"So what? I just hate to kill more dogs! Xiao Lengzi roared. This sentence immediately attracted him a punch and kick from the Ming army behind him.

Yu Chao stared at Xiao Lengzi, "There will be soon, how about our casualties?" ”

A bloodstained general strode forward: "General Hui, it has been counted, we have killed one hundred and twenty-eight brothers in battle, and the rest are nearly two hundred wounded, but it is not a big problem, and we can return to the team after a period of rest." ”

This is cavalry fighting, and you will either die or you will be fine. Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed together, once injured and off the horse, the probability of surviving is basically none, unless you are lucky.

"What about the enemy?"

"Back to the general!" Immediately, there was a proud head raised, "The enemy army was completely annihilated, except for more than 100 people who fled, all the rest were annihilated, there were too many corpses, there was no counting, probably in the early two thousand." ”

Yu Chao nodded with satisfaction, looked at Xiao Lengzi, and said, "Did you hear that?" More than 2,000 Qin people buried one hundred and twenty of my brothers, and they died honorably. ”

Xiao Lengzi's eyes were blood-red and his mouth was wide open, but he was dumb and couldn't make a sound, obviously angry to the extreme.

"If you want to make trouble, you must have the capital to make trouble." Yu Chao said: "With your little ability, you dare to kill my Mingren and rob me of my money and food, and you will pay back ten times and a hundred times more for what we have lost." ”

"If you want to kill, kill it, hurry up and cut down grandpa, what's the wordy?" Xiao Lengzi was finally able to make a sound, and he hissed and roared.

"Of course it will satisfy you." Yu Chao smiled: "The whole army is approaching Daxincheng, and I will surround Daxincheng!" ”

"Yes!"

Thousands of cavalry marched under the big new city, saying that it was a siege, of course, it was just talking, but the cavalry galloped around the city, and it seemed that the effect was similar.

The Chinese army advanced to a stone's throw away from the big new city, and standing where they were, they could clearly see that there was a panic in the big new city, and groups of Qin people were rushing to the head of the city, panicked and arranged the defense of the city. Judging from the color of the other party's uniforms, there are troops and young people in the city.

They witnessed the annihilation of their own cavalry.

Xiao Lengzi was dragged out and knelt down facing Zhongda New Town. A soldier with a loud voice rode his horse and rushed to a short distance under the city, and shouted loudly with all his strength: "Kill my Mingren, rob me of money and food, the crime is irreparable, all the newcomers listen to it, open the city and surrender, but Rao Er and other capital crimes, otherwise the day the city is broken, it will not be spared." ”

There was another panic in the city, and several feathered arrows were fired at the soldier. Swinging his horse lance and easily knocking the arrow to the ground, he looked up at the city contemptuously, and said his last words: "Don't be unpredictable." ”

The cavalry rushed back, and once again shot down a few feathered arrows behind him, all of which landed behind the horse's buttocks.

Yu Chao stared at the city, snorted coldly, and waved his hand, "Drag this guy down to the city and cut it!" ”

Several soldiers immediately dragged Xiao Lengzi forward dozens of steps, and beside him, more than a dozen soldiers held shields to protect him.

"It's General Xiao!" Someone above the city exclaimed.

A Ming soldier grinned and grabbed Xiao Lengzi's hair and pulled his head up, so that the Qin people above the city could see more clearly.

"It's General Xiao!" Above the city, the noise was even heavier. The Qin army, who was originally hiding behind the battlements, poked his head out alone, and a dense crowd immediately appeared on the city.

Under the city, the cavalry general immediately shouted: "Kill! ”

A soldier raised his ring-head knife high, and with a flash of cold light, Xiao Lengzi's head was suddenly separated from his body, and a Ming soldier behind him kicked him in the back, his body fell forward, and blood gushed forward.

Above the city, there was a howl of terror and rage.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"

Feather arrows flew like panic, and more than a dozen soldiers with shields immediately raised their shields and stepped forward, blocking behind the soldiers in charge of beheading, and a group of people slowly retreated, leaving only the body of Xiao Lengzi who was separated from his head between the two armies.

Huo Zheng blinked at all this and muttered, "Just... Kill it like this? ”

"What else?" Yu Chao looked at him with a smile.

"General Yu, Xiao Lengzi is the general of Qingzhou in a county, will it cause disputes between the two sides and cause a big war if he kills him like this?"

Yu Chao laughed: "Huo Zheng, do you say that we are strong, or Qin people are strong?" ”

"Naturally, we are strong, Qin people, since the first battle of Hengdian, there is no need to worry."

"So this one thing, are we at fault, or are they at fault?"

"They killed me and took my money and food, so naturally they are at a loss."

"That's right!" Yu Chao said: "The strength is our strength, and the truth is also on our side, if this can't be done cleanly, then what's the point?" As for what you said about causing a war between the two sides, I don't think it's likely. ”

"General Yu, this is a big sweep of Lu's face!"

"Sweep and sweep, so what? I heard your general say that half of the grain in Qingzhou County came from our Ming Dynasty, and the two sides fought a war, how many days do you think they can last? You can't fight without blood bravery, but you can't win with blood courage alone, for example, if you, after starving you for three days, who do you think you can beat again? Or a woman can stab you with a knife. "Yu Chaodao." Since Lu must have asked us, then he had to endure it. ”

"What if he can't bear this breath and really calls?" Huo Zheng said uneasily.

"You kid, you talk a lot!" Yu Chao snorted: "Then fight, I'm afraid your generals are worried about this, what they caught last time, they have been worrying about it." ”

Huo Zheng opened his mouth and didn't speak again, but Yu Chao understood what he wanted to say, Qingzhou Lu must have commanded 100,000 soldiers and horses, squeezing the water, and there are about 50,000 people who can really pull them on the battlefield, and among these 50,000 people, no more than half of them can be regarded as elite, and they are just over 20,000. Huo Zheng was worried that the Ming army in Kaiping County was insufficient, but he didn't know that the Jumu Battalion and the Chasing Wind Battalion alone were enough to compete with the Qin army, not to mention that behind them, the general of the Central Theater, Wild Dog, with the two guards of Tiger Ben and Yulin, was approaching here in the name of training.

There are many things that Huo Zheng, a small officer, can't know, but Yu Chao knows that since he learned about Deng Shu's accident, the court has begun to guard against Lu Ding, and this time it can be regarded as a warning.

Yu Chao believes that he will kill chickens and monkeys on his side, and the general Chen Zhihua will have follow-up actions, and the military, political and economic pressures will make Lu must be at a loss, and the emperor's original intention is to force Lu to recognize the form and not make any trouble.

"Retreat five miles and set up camp!" Yu Chao turned around, "Don't enlarge the new city and let one person escape." ”

Yu Chao opened a killing ring in Daxin County, beheaded the Qin general Xiao Lengzi, and stationed a camp to surround Daxincheng, and in Kaiping County, the general Chen Zhihua also learned the news that Ming Shang was robbed and killed by the Qin army in Qingzhou.

Someone escaped alive, and also captured a few Qin prisoners, this time the human and material evidence is complete, Chen Zhihua couldn't help laughing, His Majesty the Emperor was about to give Lu a certain color to see, where else did he think about starting? After all, in the past few years, Lu must have been very polite and disciplined to Daming, and Daming should pay attention to reasonableness, profitability, and moderation, and he can't make something out of nothing. At this moment, the reason is just right.

This Xiao Lengzi's luck is really extremely bad, he actually ran into Yu Chao's wind-chasing camp just to take over the defense, with Yu Chao's temperament, Chen Zhihua can also figure out what this guy will do with his ass.

"Pass the order, all the materials that are transported to Qingzhou County, no matter what they are, even if it is a needle, they will not work, stop me. What, the biggest grain of the month has entered the territory of Qingzhou, but I can recover it. Chen Zhihua said. Immediately send someone to Qingzhou County, with the confessions of these guys, and ask Lu to give me an explanation, otherwise, don't think about buying grains from my Kaiping County again. ”

"Yes!"

"Order the Jumu Battalion to enter the first-level combat readiness, and pull the battalion to approach the direction of Qingzhou."

"Yes!"

"A notice was posted in Kaiping County to tell all the people about the killing and looting of grain by the Qingzhou army. In the name of the Kaiping Prefecture Government, the whole county was ordered to enter a wartime state, and all the reserves, with the county as a unit, began to assemble. ”
