I didn't want to pay attention to Shi Goudang's toad, so I went out of the city under the escort of a group of generals, and rode my horse to stand on a slightly higher ground to watch the situation of the battlefield.

This year, it would be nice to have a telescope, Lotte thought to himself. Although the head of Xiuzhou City is high, but Fang Qifo's anti-military camp is stationed five miles south of the city, how can he see clearly, in order to see the situation of the battlefield, Lotte has to go out of the city.

A school guard galloped in front of Lotte and said: "Master Hou, the two horse armies have been outflanked to the rear of the camp of the chaotic army, just waiting for Lord Hou to give the order!" ”

After receiving the reward, Lotte ordered: "Start attacking!" ”

……

The officers and troops began to launch an attack on the camp of the rebels.

The last line of defense on which the rebels relied was this flaming fence.

At this moment, with a burning wooden fence as the dividing line, the official army and the rebel army began a tug-of-war, one side desperately attacked, the other side desperately defended, all kinds of blades collided with each other, arrows also continued to shoot from each other's rear, with the screams, the dead bodies on the ground accumulated more and more.

The blood of the wounded and dead was first mixed with the mud under the trampling of the soldiers on both sides, and then the charcoal fire fell on the blood because of the grabbing of the burning branches by both sides, and the air was filled with a smell similar to that of barbecue.

However, no one can take care of this, whether it is the righteous army or the official army, the righteous army is to save their own lives, and the official army is to win war merits.

Previously, the rebels fought and retreated, but now they are resisting with a flaming fence, and there is no thought of retreating again.

Miserable!

This scene fell in Lotte's eyes, and only this one word surged in his heart.

……

How long did the wooden fences outside the camp burn from the fire, and with the sound of beeping, the wooden fences began to show signs of collapse.

At this time, a righteous sergeant reported to Fang Qifo: "Commander, the wooden fence outside the camp is about to burn out and collapse, and if you don't think of a way, the officers and soldiers will break through the defense line!" ”

When the words of the soldiers who came to report fell, another soldier came to the front and said: "Marshal, it's not good, there are two official cavalry behind our military camp!" ”

Hearing the report, Fang Qifo's face became more and more difficult to look at, no wonder he didn't see the appearance of the imperial horse army in front of the battle today, it turned out to be a roundabout outflanking and surrounding his own military camp.

Not only Fang Qifo, but also the generals of the righteous army heard the news, and their hearts sank completely in shock.

As the deputy marshal, Fang Chang walked in front of Fang Qifo, whose face was uncertain, and said in a deep voice: "Marshal, there is no other way to think now, you might as well retreat when the Song army does not completely encircle our camp, otherwise, when the official army completely surrounds our army, our army will be more auspicious ......and less auspicious."

Listening to Fang Chang's suggestion, the faces of the generals flashed with approval, but no one dared to speak.

How could Fang Qifo not know what Fang Chang said, but he didn't say anything.

All the generals of the righteous army understand that Fang Qifo is unwilling, how can he have been defeated since the righteous army started, and it is human nature to be unwilling.

Seeing that Fang Qifo hesitated, Fang Chang persuaded again: "In front of us, our army will suffer a big loss if we rely on the official army, it is better to retreat quickly, and when we reach Hangzhou City and join most of the people, it is not too late to come and fight with the official army." ”

"The deputy marshal is right!"

"What the deputy marshal said is extremely true!"

……

Seeing that Fang Chang persuaded him twice, Fang Qifo was deliberately moved, and all the generals of the righteous army also followed suit, of course, how could these generals of the righteous army want to be in danger.

Unwilling, but there was no other way, Fang La was still a little hesitant.

"Fang Shuai, don't hesitate!" Another general said in a hurry, and then hugged his fist again: "The last general is willing to resist the official army after the break and cover the retreat of Fang Shuai!" ”

After hesitating for a while, Fang Qifo made up his mind and ordered: "Okay, pass on the order to disperse and break through!" ”

"Wait!" When the soldier was about to go out after receiving the order, Fang Chang called him to stop, and then said to Fang Qifo: "Great marshal, at this moment, there is an interception in front of the chasing soldiers, so I can only give up the car to protect the commander." ”

Fang Qifo narrowed his eyes: "You mean, take some of your brothers as outcasts?" ”

Fang Chang said: "The imperial horse army is only a few thousand, but it is easy to deal with, and the north of our army camp has to face tens of thousands of officers and troops, if tens of thousands of troops are allowed to break into the front barracks of our army, and form a front and rear attack on our army that is retreating, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"That's the only way to do it!" Fang Qifo pondered for a moment and made up his mind, and then ordered: "Pass on the order of the marshal, defend to the end, and do not allow the officers and soldiers to step into the camp."

……

At the sound of the beep explosion, the burning fence finally turned to ashes, and the officers and soldiers carried their blades along the gap to kill the rebels in the camp.

Soon the two armies collided, and the sounds of fighting, clashing blades, and screams mingled together.

Collide!

Without sharp blades, sophisticated equipment, and poor training, and a gap in physical fitness due to lack of food and clothing, the rebels quickly collapsed.

At this moment, seeing the officers and soldiers rushing over, some people saw that the situation was not good and had no intention of resisting, so they immediately threw their swords and squatted on the ground to surrender, and some people ran to other places, in order not to be captured by the officers and soldiers and escape with their lives.

Seeing that the rebels began to retreat, Lotte showed a smile on his face, although he knew that the victory was decided, Lotte still did not dare to be careless, and paid attention to the development of the battle situation.

At this time, a cavalryman rode over to report: "Master Hou, the chaotic army has begun to organize teams to break through separately!" ”

Le Tianming said: "Pass the order, let go of the inconsequential little minions, and as for the anti-thief generals like Fang Qifo, don't let any of them go." ”

After getting the order, the soldier hurriedly went to pass the order, and Lotte still watched the battlefield situation intently.

"Come back, give me all back!"

Seeing that some people surrendered and some retreated, the people who looked like soldiers in the righteous army led dozens of brothers under their command, holding weapons and fighting with the officials and soldiers while shouting hoarsely: "We have created a rebellion against the court, how can the court let us go, it is better to fight with these dog officials and soldiers to the end, kill one is enough, kill two to earn one!" ”

After the soldier's voice fell, one of the soldier's subordinates shouted: "Brother Hu is right, in the eyes of the officials and soldiers, we are anti-thieves, and we are dead, so it is better to kill two more officers and soldiers." ”

After listening to the words of this military leader, although some people retreated, more rebels chose to stay and resist, and they knew that what this military leader said was not wrong, and these people made the opposition of the imperial court, and they were captured by the officials and soldiers to avoid ending up in a different place, so it was better to take up arms to resist a life that might still be alive.

Obviously, the leader of the rebel army led his men to resist the official army and affected most of the rebel army, and soon the rebel army stopped the rout and began to stalemate with the official army.

It was very happy to find that in addition to the strong men, there were also teenage children and women who were also armed with weapons......

"Cannon fodder!" Lotte couldn't help but snort lightly, Fang Qifo ran away with a group of generals, leaving these righteous soldiers as cannon fodder, I am afraid that there are not many people in the official army who can do such a thing, and the righteous word of the righteous army, I am afraid that it is not completely true.

When he saw the official army being blocked and smiled, an arrow shot from nowhere landed in his Adam's apple, and then the leader of the rebel army had wide eyes, his body convulsed and fell to the ground, struggling a few times and no longer moving.

One second he was still a big living person, and the next moment he disappeared in this world.

An arrow was just the beginning, and then a rain of arrows fell from the sky towards the group of rebels who resisted the most ferociously......

The fierce war is still ongoing, and human lives are like mustard in the war.

It can be seen that in the melee between the two armies, one figure after another fell, and he represented the loss of the original life. Lotte's heart began to sink gradually, the contest between the court and the people, the court occupied the wind, but what if it won, can it suppress the people's hearts for a while, can it suppress the people's hearts for a lifetime?

"Master Hou, Fang Qifo and other generals of the chaotic army rushed out of the encirclement of our army and fled in the direction of Hangzhou."

At this moment, a cavalry came to report, and then looked at Lotte's face, and said cautiously: "The two commanders of the horse army said that they would personally come to the Hou Ye to ask for guilt. ”

In addition to facing the enemy head-on, Lotte used two horse armies to attack, and did not form a real encirclement, and there were still places for the rebels to escape from these three sides. The siege of Sanque is an old method of using troops in China for thousands of years, so as to avoid the trapped enemy from fighting the trapped beasts and causing huge casualties to their own men and horses.

The two horse armies of the Song army only have a total of 5,000 cavalry, and they really can't cope with the tens of thousands of routs.

Before the incident, Fang Qifo was just a lacquer garden worker doing farm work, and he didn't know a few big characters, not to mention what military books he had read, and what scenes of the two armies had been fighting.

At the beginning of the Qingxi Uprising, the victory of the righteous army was all accidental, but when it encountered the regular army of the imperial court, defeat became inevitable.

Regarding the soldier's report, Lotte just nodded and said that he knew, and did not say how to deal with Deng Gang, the commander of the Ma Army, but just looked at the rebel camp surrounded by the Song army, and made a slight estimate that at least more than 10,000 rebels were resisting in the rebel camp at this moment.

10,000 people, surrounded by 50,000 officers and troops, sooner or later 10,000 dead bodies.

"Someone!" Lotte shouted.

"In!"

Lotte said: "Pass the order to go down and suspend the attack on the camp bandits......"

"Master Hou, at this moment, our army is victorious, why do you need to do this?" Xiuzhou Zhizhou Hu Chunhou was puzzled.

Lotte sighed: "The lives of the officers and soldiers are their lives, and the lives of the bandits are also their lives. ”

Hearing that Lotte ordered a truce when he was about to win, Wang Ziwu, the defender of Xiuzhou, was very unwilling: "Master Hou, this bandit attacked my Xiuzhou for ten days, and slaughtered countless soldiers under the command of the lower officials. ”

"How many people have been separated because of Hua Shigang's wife, and how many people have died, and who will comfort these undead?" Lotte asked rhetorically, and then sighed: "Zhu Mian fell into the court because of Huashigang in injustice, and the people were angry and exposed, and now the court has removed Huashigang and dismissed Zhu Mian, which can be regarded as an explanation to the people of the southeast, if these people are willing to lay down their arms and resist, they are the people of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

After ten days of fighting with the rebels, and seeing countless subordinates die in the hands of the rebels, how could Wang Ziwu be willing: "Lord Hou, all the people who take up arms to resist the court are bandits, and everyone will be punished......"

"Shut up!" Lotte reprimanded and said sharply, "The former dynasty Taizong Yun: 'Water can carry a boat, and it can also become a boat.'" 'Now that the officials are forcing the people to rebel, the fault of the officials is still the fault of the people, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and everyone who is bad and disciplined and retained is punished. ”

Although Wang Ziwu was resentful of the rebels, he also had to admit that what Lotte said was the truth.

Seeing that the prince was silent, Lotte said loudly: "Fight for the hearts of the people again, as long as these 10,000 people lay down their arms and win them over, the officials and soldiers will win the hearts of the people, and it will not be difficult to break the capture of Hangzhou in the future." ”
