Chapter 336: People Are Not as Good as Ghosts
Yang Zaixing was the closest, and was startled by King Zhao Xiaojun's move, got up and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" β
"The Liao people have left so many cavalry near Ningyuan Town to prevent us from surrendering, but what about other places? It's over, eighty percent of the thousands of people sent by Hong Yuanpei are finished! β
Zhao Yougong doesn't hate the Liao people, if he were him, he would be more ruthless than the Liao people, dare to dig the foot of the wall on his own territory, and kill as many as he wants. What I hated was those mediocre talents, a thousand strong, who didn't do anything, just because they could only give their lives to the incompetence of the generals.
As Zhao Yougong thought, when he returned to Langu, he also heard bad news from near the Divine Pond. Thousands of Song soldiers set off from Ninghua, and came to the south of Shenchi in half a day, but they never dreamed that what was waiting for them in Shenchi was not the people who shouted to welcome, but the three thousand Liao Cheetah Battalion Iron Cavalry outflanked from the south, under the leadership of Xiao Gan, the king of the Great Liao Clan, it took only a quarter of an hour to strangle thousands of Song soldiers.
Xi Wang Xiao Gan, Xijing Generalissimo Yelu Dashi, and cavalry control Yelu Sha, these three people cooperated, which can be regarded as putting everyone in danger on the left side of the Great Song Dynasty, especially this Xi Wang Xiao Gan, who was killed suddenly, because of the information he got before, Xiao Gan should have set off from Dading Mansion in Zhongjing to help Ye Luchun, the leader of Nanjing Xijin Mansion.
The bloody methods of the Great Liao Cheetah Battalion shocked the generals of the Song Army, but it still did not wake up Emperor Zhao Ji of Huizong, who was far away in Bianliang.
As with the Left Army. The situation encountered by the Right Route Army was even more severe. Yang Keshi, the former commander of the army, didn't know where to hear that the people of Youyan were looking forward to the arrival of Wang Shi. I really believe it.
Yang Keshi has always been reluctant to listen to orders. And this person's selfish desires are too strong, and when facing the tens of thousands of Youyan people who may come, he was moved, because everyone knew that if he could persuade forty or fifty thousand Youyan people, it would be tantamount to annihilating five thousand elites of the Khitan, and this credit was very great, so big that Yang Keshi couldn't refuse Cheng DΓΉ. On the twelfth day of April, Yang Keshi ignored the command of the master of the capital. Unauthorized 5,000 elite officers rode out of Qingzhou to reach Langoudian.
When he arrived at Langoudian, it was already the middle of the day, Yang Keshi did not dare to pass through Langoudian directly, he felt that it was really dangerous to pass through Langoudian at night to surrender, it was better to rest all night, and make plans tomorrow, anyway, he had already arrived at Langoudian, and he was afraid that the Liao people in the north would not be able to escape? It was also Yang Keshi's self-made clever idea that completely sent his 5,000 soldiers and horses into the fire pit.
At the end of the day, people take off their armor. The horse retreated, leaving a small number of people outside to make rounds. The rest of the men rested for the cavalry of the First World War tomorrow. At two moments, most people were already asleep, even Yang Keshi was no exception. At this moment, by the faint moonlight, a group of cavalry quietly copied from the south of Langoudian, these cavalrymen were grass, horses, silent, and the sentinels from outside were also lightly disposed of. Just after the time, only to hear a loud noise, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in Langoudian, this time it was Yeluchun personally led five thousand Feiyun cavalry, these cavalry are mostly Khitan warriors, killing people, merciless, many Song cavalry were hacked to death in their sleep, the simple military camp was full of fire, the sound of killing shook the sky, the wailing of the Song soldiers, the screams of no one cared about, many soldiers just ran out of the camp tent, fell to the ground, and were immediately trampled to death by the war horse.
Yang Keshi worked hard to organize a team of more than 1,000 people, but unfortunately they faced the elite Feiyun cavalry of the Liao State, only two charges, and the formation that was finally formed was scattered, followed by a one-sided slaughter, many Song cavalry became infantry, they ran around like headless flies, where could they run past the cavalry, many people were killed in a daze, and they couldn't close their eyes until they died.
After a night of cover-up, Feiyun Cavalry only paid the price of dozens of casualties, and then completely annihilated more than 5,000 elite cavalry of Yang Keshi's department, and after dawn, Yang Keshi returned to Qingzhou with more than 100 remnants. In this battle, Yang Keshi suffered fifteen knife wounds, if he was not really brave, Bacheng died under the Liao knife.
Early in the morning, as soon as the planter Dao got up, he heard such bad news, and his heart hurt, the veteran who had fought for the Great Song Dynasty for decades looked up to the sky and sighed, "The reckless man misunderstands me, misunderstands me, should be killed, should be killed"
The master was too distressed, distressed and wanted to die, the five thousand elite cavalry was a rare cavalry unit in the Great Song Dynasty, he originally wanted Yang Weizhong to lead the cavalry, but he couldn't resist Tong Shumi, but the result was like this. More than 5,000 cavalry, aren't they cowards, can't they fight, are they greedy for life and afraid of death? Seed Master Dao dared to swear to the sky, these five thousand disciples, even if the knife was on their necks, would not frown, so elite, but they were buried by Yang Keshi overnight. Seed Master Dao was a little stunned, he didn't know what was wrong, why no matter what he did, he still couldn't save those poor warriors, gradually, Seed Master Dao's face became more and more pale, his gray beard trembled, and suddenly his eyes opened angrily, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
"It hurts me"
The seed master fell back in a daze, and everyone around him hurriedly pounced on him, shouting with tears in his eyes, "Old general, old general"
On the night of April 12, Yang Keshi, the former commander of the army, sent troops privately, and was attacked and killed by Ye Luchun, the king of Qin and Jin of Liao and the generalissimo of the Nanjing garrison, with 5,200 cavalry in a battle, including the main general Yang Keshi, only 113 people remained.
The first thing he said when he woke up was that he stared at Yang Weizhong and gritted his teeth and said, "Go and kill Yang Keshi, if you don't kill him, why do you have a military law, why do you sue me for five thousand sons in the spirit of the sky" said with old tears, and closed his eyes tightly.
After the seed master Dao gave the order, Yang Weizhong and He Xu turned around and came out of the handsome tent, and after a while, they pulled up Yang Keshi, who was still recuperating in bed. In the Qingzhou camp, at noon, a wooden stake stood on the spot, Yang Keshi was tightly tied to the stake, and there was no one in the whole army who begged for mercy for tens of thousands of people. Who doesn't know how unremarkable the surrender is, for this kind of old general is still ordering not to act recklessly, but this Yang Keshi, for the so-called surrender, led more than 5,000 elite horses to Langoudian, this person should be killed, and it is not a pity to kill a hundred times.
The sun is high and the sun is warm, but Yang Keshi's heart is extremely cold, looking at the knife in Yang Weizhong's hand, he burst into tears and said, "Brother, brother, I was wrong, but if you want to march the law, you have to be a handsome, you can't kill me, you can't kill me." β
"I, Yang Keshi, you are also a good man, at this time, you still have the face to beg for mercy, if I were you, do this kind of thing, I would have wiped my neck with a knife. You still beg for mercy, how can the accounts of the more than 5,000 brothers be calculated? That's more than 5,000 fine horsemen, living good sons, they are dead, who do they cry out to? Saying that, Yang Weizhong had already shed tears uncontrollably, and the man didn't flick his tears, but he didn't get to the sad place. This time, it was too painful, and the old general couldn't get up from the bed, thinking about when the old general had been so fragile for decades.
"You can't kill, you can't kill"
"Let you say that the sky is broken, today Lao Tzu wants to cut you" Yang Weizhong didn't want to say more, and when he raised his backhand, he was about to wipe it down, and at this moment, a horse flew over, and shouted loudly, "Keep people under the knife, the handsome man has an order, Yang Keshi takes it to Gaoyang, and his own official family decides." β
Listening to those words, Yang Weizhong couldn't cut it anymore, he looked at Yang Weizhong blankly, looked up at the sky again, and suddenly laughed stupidly, the smile was terrible, and the laughter made people's hearts furious.
"Hey, hey, hey, these days, people are not as good as ghosts, and ghosts can be swaggered in broad daylight."
In the blink of an eye, Yang Weizhong is like a fool, is he really stupid? He was distressed, even desperate, if he was in normal times, even if he fought for his life, he would have killed Yang Keshi, but now that Yang Keshi has made such a big mistake, there is still someone to protect him, in such a situation, he killed one Yang Keshi, what about the second Yang Keshi?
Looking up at the sky and the sun, Yang Weizhong covered his right hand in front of him, his face was full of smiles, but his heart was dripping blood, "Da Song, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong? What's wrong?"
It is impossible for Yang Weizhong to get an answer, because the Great Song Dynasty should have changed the sky, and he also asked what is the use of this sky now?
The heart is dead, the person has been wounded, the underworld, the ghost is lost.
Yang Weizhong was like a fool, and let the knight take Yang Keshi away, where can he rely on him, he drew his sword and shouted angrily, "Brothers, stop, Lao Tzu see who dares to take Yang Keshi today, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu is here, he will also cut off his dog head to commemorate his dead brother." β
He Shu is a straightforward man, he is a soldier, he is not afraid of the dead, if it is really because the art of war is slightly worse than others, he has been calculated, and he has admitted it, because no one has lost a war. But what about Yang Keshi, the more than 5,000 elite horsemen, just because of Yang Keshi's selfish desire to fight for merit, he lost his life in vain, how can he bear it? Why didn't Yang Weizhong kill him, He Shu didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand, what he wanted was worthy of his heart.
At the sound of an order, the surrounding soldiers surrounded him with guns, and then the knight immediately turned pale with fright, and shouted tremblingly, "What do you want to do, can you rebel?" β
Yang Weizhong was not really stupid, seeing such a scene, he walked over to stand up to Hexu, waved his hand, and shouted, "It's all scattered, let this brother go back to the errand." β
With Yang Weizhong holding up, He Xu couldn't break free, and few soldiers dared to disobey Yang Weizhong, so He Xu could only watch the knight leave the Qingzhou camp with Yang Keshi. After a long time, this straightforward man was so angry that he burst into tears, stomped his foot and smashed Yang Weizhong's shoulder with a punch, "What are you doing, what are you doing, you bastard"
Yang Weizhong retreated step by step, waiting for He Shu to be tired, he wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, and sneered, "Is it useful to kill a Yang Keshi?" You kill one, and there are two, you still don't understand, we're just a bunch of stupid donkeys, stupid! β
After saying this, Yang Weizhong turned around and walked towards the tent, he didn't want to care about anything, he would guard the old general in the future, as for the so-called important affairs in the army, let them toss.
He was stunned, he didn't react for a long time, he silently asked himself, what's going on? The old general has fallen, Yang Weizhong has changed, it seems that in a short period of time, everyone has become unrecognizable. (To be continued......)
