Chapter Seventy-Two: The Red Tiger Devours People
The Yijiyuni cultists, who had suddenly lost their leader, fell into chaos for a while, and the siege of Yingzhou came to a standstill. At this time, they were suddenly attacked by Wang Hanxin's cavalry.
Wang Hanxin himself rushed to the front, with the Chen brothers on the left and right flanks, and the cavalry led by Zhou Siyi behind. Wang Hanxin's spear was like an express train to hell, constantly stabbing the disciples to death in front of their horses; Behind him, the Chen brothers guarded Wang Hanxin's flank like two door gods, and any attempt to outflank Wang Hanxin from the flank would be ruthlessly cut off by the two brothers; Although Zhou Siyi, who was at the end, although his martial arts were the weakest of the four, his practical command ability was valued by Wang Hanxin, and it was enough to show that he was able to maintain no defeat in the face of a rabble in the face of Wang Hanxin's elite cavalry attack, and at this moment he led a well-trained cavalry team that can be said to be used freely, and Wang Hanxin handed over the army to him to take command because he believed that he could take necessary measures according to the changes on the battlefield at any time.
In the face of Wang Hanxin's assault, these cultists were unable to inflict the necessary damage on the enemy despite their high will to fight, just like a clumsy giant waving his fist and trying to catch a bee flying around him, all he could get was to be stung beyond recognition by the bee.
Wang Hanxin, who came and went freely in the enemy formation, shouted loudly while fighting: "You group of cultists! Look how pitiful you are! Is this all you have to be faithful to the God you believe in? Don't make people laugh out of their big teeth! Not convinced? If you are not convinced, take out your full strength! Otherwise, I'll send you one by one to your incompetent and stupid evil god!" Come on, come on, you! ”
Wang Hanxin's provocation played its due role, and the believers whose faith was insulted suddenly fell into a state of madness. The people behind pushed the people in front desperately so that they could rush to the front as quickly as possible to kill the man who slandered the gods. The already chaotic formation suddenly became more difficult to control.
Seeing that the enemy army had been successfully provoked, he completely ignored the tactics of warfare and outflanked him. Wang Hanxin knew that it was almost over, so he suddenly turned his horse's head and smiled at the three brothers: "Three brothers, we should kill them." ”
Wang Hanxin's cavalry suddenly made a big turn and began to assault outward, and soon rushed out of the cultist's formation, but the cultists who had been thoroughly enraged could no longer see anything else in their eyes, they just wanted to break the blasphemous guy into pieces. Tens of thousands of cultists were like a giant dragon clinging to Wang Hanxin's cavalry, and chased them more than ten miles away.
At this moment, Wang Hanxin's cavalry in front suddenly scattered and galloped away. Before the group of disciples could figure out each other's intentions, they felt the ground suddenly begin to vibrate under their feet.
"Earthquake, it's an earthquake!"
"Nope. It's not an earthquake, it's not! It's water! It's a flood! Run! Someone suddenly screamed.
Yes, it's the Flood! Wang Hanxin dug up Yingshui, the largest river near Yingzhou City, and the water rushed down like an overwhelming herd of horses, tearing everything in its way into pieces! In the face of this terrifying force of nature, all the force, courage, and will to fight were useless, and the belief in the evil god was as shattered as an egg on the wall. Tens of thousands of cultists were reduced to a mass of black dirt in the merciless water almost instantly, and the screams were muffled by the roaring sound of the water.
"Let your gods save your filthy souls, if your gods really exist." Wang Hanxin, who was standing on a small hill and successfully avoided the flood, looked at this scene and muttered.
"Is it necessary to do this to this extent? Fourth brother? Zhou Siyi looked at the tens of thousands of people swept away by the flood, and couldn't help but feel compassion.
Wang Hanxin smiled bitterly: "I don't want to do this either." Second brother. It's a pity that this is the only way to make a decision. Second brother, you have also seen what those cultists who have taken drugs are like, they have lost their humanity. Become a tool in the hands of this cult! There were many old and weak women and children among them, if the soldiers were allowed to see this. I'm afraid it's hard to keep morale going. So I had to use this cavalry to fight, and let the other soldiers launch a water attack to destroy the enemy without seeing the enemy. It's a pity. I am not a god, and I cannot remove the effects of the medicine that the cult has inflicted on them, but I must stop this cult from harming more innocent people! In the past, in Liaodong, the Goryeo people called me the man-eating Red Tiger because I killed a lot of innocent Goryeo people. I don't regret these actions, because I always think that it is my personal grudge and not fighting for my country. But this time is different, I killed all my compatriots and siblings, maybe I should go up to the table to ask the emperor for guilt and take responsibility for this incident. ”
Although Zhou Siyi didn't know what his personal grievances were, he could see from Wang Hanxin's heavy shoulders that this incident hit him. If it weren't for Weizhou's move to pacify the war, then Zhou Siyi might have thought like everyone else that Wang Hanxin was a man-eating tiger, but now he wouldn't think so, because he knew in his heart that Wang Hanxin's words were true, and only people who were full of compassion and love for the people would let go of their usual recklessness and wanted to plead guilty.
Shortly after Wang Hanxin's petition was sent, Wang Hanxin received an appointment and dismissal order from Emperor Liu Yan. If it was a normal time, he would probably be overjoyed to have a big feast, but unfortunately this time Wang Hanxin has not yet come out of the trough of his mood: because the flood he caused not only killed the cultists besieging the city, but also caused considerable damage to Yingzhou City, where the water was several feet deep, and many people lost their homes. In addition, the burial of corpses and the anti-epidemic work after the flood receded made the soldiers demoralized, and although the main force of the cultists was completely wiped out, there were still a large number of scattered cultists in the surrounding areas of Yingzhou, and he had to completely flatten them, and for this he had to continue to kill a large number of cultists.
Wang Hanxin stared lifelessly at the battle map in front of him, there were still dozens of cultists on it, although their number was no longer enough to pose a threat to Wang Hanxin's crusading army, but if the other party was reduced to zero and lurked, it would be difficult for the official army to eradicate it, and in the face of dozens of enemy forces, Wang Hanxin would not be able to attack it at the same time.
"It's nerve-wracking, baby mice are harder to deal with than tigers, especially when it's a pack of rats." Wang Hanxin hugged his head and said anxiously.
Chen Shijie said on the side: "Then it depends on whether you have the sesame oil in your hand to lure the rats to gather." ”
This sentence struck Wang Hanxin like lightning, and a new plan was born in his heart. (To be continued.) )
