Chapter 51: Zhang He's Choice
The cold arrows staggered through the air again and again, and the blood splashed one after another, with a poignant and heroic, silently narrated the tragedy of the war. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
More and more people poured in from the city gate, Zhang He was powerless at the moment, even if he was a famous general, in such a situation where the entire front collapsed, even if he had the strength to turn the tide, but when he lost the command and prestige of these soldiers, even if he was a top general, in this case, in addition to escaping, he could only fight and die in this vast sea of people.
That kind of death, it may be heroic, but it is meaningless.
Zhang He can see that these soldiers and horses who have entered the city are also running all the way, and their physical strength may have reached the limit, but there is no way, there is really no way, even if the physical strength has reached the limit, but these slave soldiers, one by one, are extremely excited, on the other hand, after a night of melee, the soldiers have been born war-weary, plus the exhaustion of physical strength, even if someone knows, if it goes on like this, maybe the death will be more miserable, and it is even more meaningless, but so what, among thousands of troops, not to mention ordinary pawns, even if Zhang He, In this kind of rout, he can only go with the flow, and his personal strength is terrible in such a situation, and Zhang He is the first time in the midst of thousands of troops and horses, he has experienced this loneliness.
"Zhang He! Have the courage to fight with me for 300 rounds! In the rough roar, the rough voice of the majestic sea was transmitted very clearly even in the chaos of thousands of troops.
Beat?
Zhang He also thought, but he knew better that in this case, he would also be sent to death if he went up, his momentum had been taken away, and he was not the opponent of Xiong Kuohai in the first place, at this moment, I am afraid that the winning rate is even more slim, he never thought that he was the kind of person who was desperate for one breath, so Zhang He did not pay attention to Xiong Kuohai's provocation.
The rain of arrows fired by the archers in the rear gradually became disheveled, some of them were routed by the defeated army, but more of them fled on their own, and in this case, there were fewer and fewer soldiers who could hold their posts.
"Woo~Woo~Woo~" In the strange sound of the horn, the pursuing army stopped continuing the pursuit, but Zhang He was not happy, because he had heard the horn sound in Yanmen, which was the horn that would only sound when Lu Bu arrived, that is...... Lu Bu has arrived in person! At this moment, the only remaining fighting spirit in Zhang He's heart also dissipated.
It's very strange, even if in the face of the majestic sea, Zhang He at least dares to fight with the majestic sea, but for Lu Bu, Zhang He has actually never had a confrontation with Lu Bu, but that cowardice from the bottom of his heart has made Zhang He lose all his fighting spirit when he heard the horn, such a mentality is very shameful for a general, not to mention a general like Zhang He, but he has no way to suppress it.
"My lord." Xiong Kuohai came to Lu Bu's side and arched his hand: "Zhang He is over there." ”
"Oh?" Lu Bu glanced at the direction in which the rout army left, shook his head and said: "Don't pay attention to him first, Ma Dai and Ma Tie, you two lead the army to capture the city wall and occupy the commanding heights, Zhou Cang, you take people to capture the granary, and I will restrain these slave soldiers, but there are those who are good at killing the people, sit together!" ”
A group of generals couldn't help but shudder when they heard this, and sat down, it was Lu Bu's military order specially formulated for these slave soldiers, most of these slave soldiers came from the grassland, wild and untamable, in order to avoid the rise of these people to kill, implicate the people, Lu Bu was very strict in military law, if someone in a group dared to kill a civilian, a battalion would be killed, if a battalion dared to kill ten people, then a battalion would be killed!
Don't doubt Lu Bu's determination, in fact, the method of sitting together has already been promoted in Zhangye, at the time of the riot, Lu Bu directly ordered Xu Rong to sacrifice the butcher's knife, within ten days, kill nearly 50,000 slaves, in fact, not even a hundred percent of those who participated in the riot at that time, but it is precisely because of this that although the group of slave soldiers under Lu Bu is brutal, but the ferocity is controlled within the scope of Lu Bu's control, otherwise, Lu Bu really does not dare to put these 50,000 slave soldiers into the battlefield, unrestrained slave soldiers, for the people of the Central Plains, It would be a disaster.
"Whoa!" When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly took the order and left.
"Lao Xiong, lead the army, advance layer by layer, remember, those who descend will not be killed!" Lu Bu looked at the majestic sea road, he had stopped it when he saw that the slave soldiers were killing too hard, although the current score was hostile, but Lu Bu hoped to reduce the casualties as much as possible, these people could be regarded as his own soldiers in the future.
"Whoa!" Xiong Kuohai roared, and began to regroup with a group of slave soldiers, this time no longer rampage as before, but regularly occupied various important places, compressing the enemy's living space.
"I am under the command of the hussar general, the cavalry captain is majestic and the sea is strong, the lord has an order, surrender and do not kill!" Xiong Kuohai carried his cooked copper stick, and no longer slashed, and began to direct the army to collect and surrender the prisoners.
The Jizhou army, which had long lost its fighting spirit, began to kneel down and ask for surrender, and the battle has been fought until now, in fact, there is no suspense, although Lu Bu's army is also exhausted, but the supporting breath has been well mobilized by Lu Bu, on the other hand, Yecheng's side, after a night of cannibalism, whether physically or mentally, the sense of belonging of these armies to the Yuan family may have been greatly reduced.
It's also luck, Lu Bu didn't expect the battle between the two sons of the Yuan family to start so quickly, originally he was ready to fight a big battle, and even ordered Xu Rong to transfer another 50,000 slave soldiers to supplement, but now it has saved him a lot of trouble, but the soldiers can be used, the next biggest problem, I'm afraid it is still Cao ****, with a group of strategists around Cao Cao and Cao Cao's ability, there is such a big movement here, with Cao Cao's temperament, if he lets himself sit big in Jizhou, it will make Lu Bu feel strange.
After two years, charging with Cao Cao again made Lu Bu full of expectations, the last time he came too late, and he who had just come to this world, he was really not Cao Cao's opponent, but now, Lu Bu is very much looking forward to this showdown with Cao Cao.
On the other side, looking at Zhang He, who was defeated and returned, Yuan Shang was a little confused, how long has it been?
"Third son, Lu Bu has arrived, our soldiers have no heart to fight, and the general trend has gone!" Looking at Yuan Shang's shocked expression, Zhang He said bitterly.
"Lu Bu!? He came in person? Yuan Shang looked at Zhang He in surprise, these two words have a special magic power in the north, at this moment, Yuan Shang suddenly missed Yuan Shao incomparably, only when he really picked the beam himself, he could feel more clearly how much wind and rain his father had shielded him from in the past, and how much pressure he had undertaken.
Wrong! Mother, this time it was really wrong!
Yuan Shang said bitterly in his heart, he couldn't blame his mother, because he knew that everything Liu did was for himself.
"Lord!" At this moment, a general ran over in a panic and said to Yuan Shang: "The eldest prince just seized the city gate, and he has already left the city under the escort of Wei Yuanjin and others!" A large number of wealthy people fled with them. ”
"This ......" Yuan Shang was stunned, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "Let him go." "At this moment, there is really a feeling of despair.
"Lord, Lu Bu is powerful, and Yecheng is no longer contestable, so it is better to take a step back for the time being, retreat to the Bohai Sea, regroup, and then deal with Lu Bu." Judge the deep voice.
Bohai is the place where Yuan Shao started, even if Yuan Shao later sat firmly in Jizhou, he also attached great importance to Bohai and now Yecheng can no longer be defended, but the Yuan family's heritage in Jizhou is not such a battle will be easily destroyed, as long as Yuan Shang regrouped, with the foundation left by Yuan Shao, it may not be impossible to deal with Lu Bu.
"Okay, I'm going to pick up my mother." Yuan Shang nodded, and was about to go back to pick up the Liu family and the Yuan family.
"Kill~" In the distance, the shouting of killing was getting closer and closer, and the incomprehensible Xiongnu language was mixed with the slogan of surrender and not killing, and everyone's faces suddenly changed greatly, although they knew that it was difficult for the army in the city to block Lu Bu, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"It's too late, lord, let's go!" Hearing this, the judge's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly pulled Yuan Shang and walked out of the city, for the Liu family, most people in the know, there is not much good feeling, if there is no stupid woman, how can the huge Jizhou come to this point?
Yuan Shang didn't follow, and tried his best to return to the mansion to pick up people, but he was slapped on the neck by Zhang He and fainted.
"Junyi, you ......" looked at Zhang He with dissatisfaction.
"There's no time." Looking at Yuan Shang who fainted with complicated eyes, Yuan Shang, representing the river. The interests of the Beishi family must not be fine, Zhang He sighed and said: "Please take the third prince away, and I will come to break the queen for you in person!" ”
"No!" The judge was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed greatly, and Zhang He's words clearly carried a sense of death.
"I've made up my mind." Zhang He turned over on his horse, looked at Yuan Shang again, shook his head and sighed: "A certain is no longer loyal to the lord, and he can't lose the dignity of a martial artist anymore!" ”
Yuan Shao's matter, Zhang He knew but did not stop it, seeing Yuan Shao die in ignorance, these days, for Zhang He, is a torment, for the river. In the interests of the powerful Beishi family, he chose to remain silent when he knew that he was disloyal, and he didn't want to bear this guilt for the rest of his life.
When the judge and the others heard this, they couldn't help but have a touch of shame on their faces.
Zhang He looked at everyone, suddenly smiled, and said loudly: "If you see the lord underground, I will replace you and be loyal to the lord underground." ”
The judge and the others were in awe, bowed to Zhang He and said, "General go slowly!" ”
Zhang He nodded, urged the reins of the horse, and went against the crowd to kill in the direction of Lu Bu's army, the steel spear in his hand turned into a little cold star, and where he passed, the killing of a group of slave soldiers cried wolf howl, and no one could stop him, killing all the way to open a bloody road, rushing straight to the chaotic army Yang, prancing horse and raising his gun, and said sharply: "Zhang He is here in the river, where is Lu Bu, dare to fight with me!?"
