Chapter 597: The Spread of the Encirclement

The story of Zhao Tiezhu was only learned by Wang Ningan from his subordinates and the people who escaped after the end of the war...... In order to cover the evacuation of the people, Zhao Tiezhu selected 200 soldiers from his subordinates. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone fought fiercely, some people said that there was no one in the family, and if they died, they would die, so they didn't have to care about anything, it was better to stay and fight with Dong Yu. Some people also say that if he has a wife and children in his family, he already has offspring, and those who have sons are not afraid of death, so they should stay!

Zhao Tiezhu was moved by these brothers who rushed to death and never gave up. With tears in his eyes, he told everyone that he had been in the army for nearly 20 years and had fought an unknown number of battles, and he was lucky to be able to survive, but he didn't know how many people died on the battlefield.

Just two years ago, when the imperial court rectified the military affairs in the northwest, Wang Xianggong and Bao Xianggong allocated a sum of money to build an account in the bank for each meritorious soldier, without worrying about being deducted by the officials.

That year, Zhao Tiezhu killed two Western Xia soldiers and got a reward of 120 yuan, relying on this money, Zhao Tiezhu married a country girl as a daughter-in-law, who was only 17 years old.

The old bachelor in his thirties finally blossomed.

On the night when he was the groom's official, Zhao Tiezhu was drunk, crying and laughing, thinking of those brothers who died in vain and didn't even leave their names, he was blessed.

Just over half a year ago, Zhao Tiezhu's daughter-in-law became pregnant with a child.

"Whether it's a girl or a boy, I finally have a queen!"

Zhao Tiezhu arched his hand at all the brothers, "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater." We are all brothers, brothers in life and death. Those who already have a family, all stay, leave the chance to live to the brothers who have not yet started a family, this good life has not yet begun with them, and it can't just be gone! ”

"As for the brothers who have no family, if you survive, please help take care of them, so that the dead brothers will not be cut off from their roots, and after they die, when they go to the underworld, they will not burn paper to pay tribute, and they will become lonely ghosts...... I'm kowtowing to you! ”

Holding back tears, the soldiers nodded in agreement.

Zhao Tiezhu immediately led 200 soldiers and 180 young and strong people who volunteered to stay behind to return to Kangle Village.

As soon as they entered the stockade, Dong Yu's army came overwhelmingly.

Zhao Tiezhu immediately ordered to close the city gate and swore to live and die with Kangle Village.

Before closing the gates, he found 20 of the youngest soldiers and young men, and forced them to leave the village with all their horses to chase after the other brothers and the people.

With war horses, the people can run faster and have more hope of survival.

And losing the war horse, the people of Kangle Village didn't even have a chance to break through, only to fight to the death.

It is difficult to die through the ages, but in fact, it is not so difficult to choose...... Zhao Tiezhu and more than 300 warriors, facing an army of 100,000, guarded for two and a half days.

Not a single person surrendered, and not a single person lived.

Zhao Tiezhu was killed by random arrows, and his head was hung on the flagpole for public display.

When the people from all walks of life defeated Dong Yu, they were lucky enough to find Zhao Tiezhu's head, but the body could never be found. Outside the Kangle Village, the people chose a place with the best feng shui, buried him, and built temples to make sacrifices.

After the war, Zhao Zhen, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, personally wrote an article for Zhao Tiezhu, and the people rebuilt the largest temple in Qingtang into Zhao Gong Temple.

The gold-clad and colorful gods and Buddhas were smashed into pieces, and an inconspicuous martial artist became a god in everyone's minds, and even in the long years that followed, Zhaogong Temple even replaced the Guandi Temple, becoming the most common temple in the northwest and even the entire Western Regions, and the prosperity of incense is incomparable......

"Those who are put to death, brave and fearless, and sacrifice their lives for righteousness, are valued by all generations, and are not spared in reward; Those who can live, but go to death with anger, have been even rarer since ancient times. Zhao Tiezhu, the commander of the Ma army, completed the mission, retreated according to the order, and had no fault, but Zhao Tiezhu took hundreds of soldiers to defend the lonely city alone, resist the strong enemy, and hundreds of people, so that he could escape safely and return to the Great Song Dynasty...... Among them, there are two ethnic groups, including men and women, old and young...... What Zhao Tiezhu did was not a city and a place, a family and a surname, but thousands of living beings, and the people of the Han Dynasty. He has never studied and does not understand the way of the sages, but he does what he does, although Confucius and Mencius are not as good as the two sages. There are many soldiers who have opened up the territory and received awards for their meritorious service, all of which are meritorious service to the enemy. Du Zhao Tiezhu, who died to protect the people, is very different, his heroic generosity, the famous generals of the past dynasties, all embarrassed......"

This is a letter written by Wang Ningan for Zhao Tiezhu...... After Zhao Zhen saw it, he was very moved, and posthumously presented Zhao Tiezhu to the envoy of the Xuzhou Festival, gave 100,000 yuan of money, built a temple to worship, and wrote an article in person. Zhao Tiezhu left his son, entered the Beijing Middle School, entered the Royal Primary School, and twenty years later, the son inherited his father's business and joined the army.

The descendants of the Zhao family, with many merits, are among the generals and are widely spread......

The battle of Kangle Village, although heroic, is only a wave of rolling torrents after all.

Dong Yu was arrogant and arrogant, thinking that he could take Xuzhou in one fell swoop.

His men and horses are mighty and overwhelming. The proud Dong Yu declared that as long as his cavalry charged, Xuzhou would fall at his feet.

Dong Yu drove his tribes to act as cannon fodder and go to storm Xuzhou.

Wang Shao in the city was not afraid, he knew in his heart, although the people outside were ten times as many as himself, and the city of Xuzhou was accidentally tall. But he has enough killer features.

This is a city built of cement, from the inside to the outside, not only has a strong city wall, but also has an urn castle inside, and each fang market has a wall, as long as the gate is closed, it is a small castle.

Not only was the city heavily defended, but it also stockpiled countless gunpowder and oil.

As the base camp of Jingluo Qingtang, Wang Shao spared no effort to turn Xuzhou into a super fortress and a huge military camp. Even if he has less than 10,000 people, he is not worried.

It's just that although he is well prepared, when he really fights, the tragedy of the war still makes people stunned. Especially the uncle Cao Tong was even more frightened, and his hands and feet were numb.

Countless people and horses pounced on them from all directions like ants.

They carried ladders and ropes in a vain attempt to climb the city walls.

Bows and arrows, stones, oil and grenades awaited them...... As far as the eye could see, there was hardly a complete corpse, and outside the city of Xuzhou, it was surrounded by piles of rotten meat.

Just by looking at it, I vomited so much that I even vomited bile.

Cao Tong only knew at this time how difficult it was for the ancestors to create the glory of the Cao family. As for his son Cao Ping, he was born and died, and he fought with his head, and sure enough, the hero is not so easy to be!

Uncle Cao gradually became ruthless, and on the fifth day, he could even carry a sword and fight with the Qingtang soldiers who climbed the city wall.

On this day, Cao Tong killed three people...... It wasn't until dark that he ate a bite of the meat bun, and strangely enough, he didn't feel sick at all, only sweet and delicious...... After eating enough, close your eyes and sleep, quickly recover your spirits, I don't know when, the bloody battle is coming again......

Cao Tong held out until the seventh day, the northwest side of Xuzhou was breached, and the Qingtang soldiers rushed into the city with a mountain of corpses.

When they screamed and thought that one stop was successful, who knew that they had only peeled off the first layer of Chinese cabbage, and there were countless layers waiting for them to do it!

However, before the Qing Tang soldiers continued to attack, Wang Shao released a fierce fire oil, raging flames, erupting from the underground ditch, instantly engulfing all the enemies who entered the city.

Not only can the fire burn the opponent, but it also consumes oxygen, suffocating many people. The battlefield was filled with corpses with distorted postures, and they were burned black like a piece of charcoal.

Dong Yu went crazy, just to attack Xuzhou, he had already lost tens of thousands of people!

Although more than half of them are young and strong people of various tribes, they are not his subordinates. But the problem is that he also lost thousands of people, and Xihe is so tenacious that he can't see the hope of victory for a long time.

Dong Yu faltered.

The leader of any nomadic group is almost instinctive to bully the weak and fear the hard.

No fool likes to hit it hard.

Some people often talk about the winning rate of the Great Song Dynasty, as if it can prove that the Great Song Dynasty is not weak, but in fact, this is a completely deceptive thing. In the case of cheetahs, the most athletic feline on the grasslands, the success rate of predation is only one in six.

Can you count every time an antelope escapes the cheetah's pursuit as a victory?

I'm sorry, that's called getting out of danger!

Just like the Great Song Dynasty, in the face of strong cavalry, winning a battle is just to save your life, and the enemy may not lose much, but once the Great Song Dynasty fails, it will face the danger of losing the country.

In a fatal battle, one defeat is enough, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, fought 72 victories, just ambushed on ten sides in Jiuli Mountain, and killed himself in Wujiang, and even the poppy beauty could not be saved.

At this moment, Dong Yu kicked the iron plate.

This Wang Shao is indeed not as easy to deal with as it seems, since this is the case, then Lao Tzu might as well withdraw his troops, wait for the opportunity, and attack Xuzhou again.

Dong Yu wanted to escape.

But at this time, Ghost Zhang came with a good news, his men and horses have broken the Jiehe Fort, and besieged Lintao Fort, as long as you add a little more effort, Lintao Fort will be conquered, when the time comes, Ghost Zhang's men and horses, you can go around to Wang Shao's rear, to attack Di Dao, cut off the supply of food and salary in Xuzhou.

Soon, as long as you work harder, Da Song will be defeated!

Xuzhou is so strong, if you don't take it down in one go, there will be no more chance.

Dong Yu had insomnia, and he was faced with the most difficult decision in his life, whether to give up or continue to attack...... As the son of a generation of heroes, Dong Yu has the noble blood of the two powerful countries of Tubo and Khitan in his body.

He is eager to prove that he is not just relying on his father, he is also a generation of heroes!

At dawn the next day, Dong Yu personally supervised the army, pressed the elite in his hand, and attacked Xuzhou from morning to night. The urn city was broken, and the two fang cities were attacked.

A quarter of the city in Xuzhou fell into the hands of Dong Yu, and perhaps if he tried harder, the Song army would collapse.

Dong Yu eagerly looked forward to it, but he didn't know that Chong Yu led an army of 10,000 kinds of families, which had crossed Taoshui from the line of Nanguanbao and quickly pounced on Dong Yu's flank and rear.

And the cold north wind continues to move south, and the day when the river will be closed is not far off, and a net is spread out, just waiting to harvest the prey......
