Chapter 61: Strangulation
"Humble and incompetent, please forgive me!" At the foot of the hill 500 paces away, the left thousand households and the right thousand households of Bori both jumped off their mounts and bowed to Daru Hua Chihe. The expressions on each other's faces were completely different.
"Hmm!" Daru Hua Chihe nodded, which was considered a return of the courtesy. Then he glanced at the two thousand troops on the left and right who had withdrawn, and asked with a deep face: "Bald, how are the casualties on the left flank?!" ”
Zuo Qianhu was taken aback, and quickly put away the smugness on his face, pretending to respond very painfully, "Tell Daru Huachi-sama, the left wing of the thousand people killed one hundred and thirty-two, seriously wounded thirty-four, and"
Looking back at the battlefield where the smoke had just cleared, his voice sounded deeper and deeper, "There are about twenty brothers who have not been withdrawn, and their lives and deaths are still unknown!" ”
"Hmm!" Daru Hua Chi He groaned again, and turned his gaze to the soldiers of the Left Army whose faces were full of smoke and fire, and there was a faint heartache. "Casualties close to 20 percent? Is the firearm of the red turban thief really that powerful?! ”
"The first time our army encountered this thing, it was really caught off guard!" Zuo Qianhu thought for a moment and responded very seriously, "But it's not that there is no way to crack it. Although the fire thunder was huge, its attack range was only within three feet of the place where it landed, and there was a good chance that it would not explode immediately. As long as the general pulls the distance of the war horses a little more in the next attack, reduces the number of soldiers participating in each wave of attacks, and stretches the gap between each wave of attacks long enough, it should be able to greatly reduce the casualties of our army. ”
As he spoke, he bowed slightly, lowered his head, and waited for Daru Hua Chihe to make a decision.
"Well, that sounds like a point!" Daru Hua Chi He didn't make a decision immediately, praised it, and then quickly turned his gaze to the right thousand households Baoli, "How are the casualties over there?" ”
"The last general, the last general's right wing thousand-man team, Fang Cai, Fang Cun killed forty-three people and slightly wounded fourteen people. No, no serious injuries! Knowing that the battle loss rate on the right wing was much smaller than that on the left wing, the commander of the thousand men was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, bent over, and stammered in response.
"Less than sixty casualties before retreating? Who led the team at that time? Where do you stand yourself? Daru Hua Chi He immediately raised his eyebrows, and his questioning words became colder and colder.
"Yes, the last general, it's the deputy, the deputy thousand households Balbo leads, leading the team!" Bao Liwei was so frightened that he had to push his deputy out of the top cylinder, "At that time, the last general was commanding the archers in the rear, and before he could react, the front, the front of several hundred-man teams had already retreated!" ”
"Come on, drag Balbo and the few centurions who led the team at that time out for me and behead them!" Before he could finish speaking, Daru Hua Chi He's eyes had already shot a cold light, and with a wave of his arm, he ordered his own troops to carry out military law.
"Yes!" A group of wolf-like soldiers immediately rushed into the right flank of a thousand people, and dragged out six people, including Deputy Qianhu Balbo, Centurion Buha, Maiden, and Huluchi, and tied them with ropes.
"Spare your life, my lord!" Balbo, Buha, Maiden, Huluchi and the other six did not dare to resist, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed vigorously. "Spare your life, my lord! Please give me a chance to make meritorious contributions! We are willing to die in battle, so that our ancestors will not be disgraced and our families will be dragged down in the future! ”
"My lord, please give them a chance to make meritorious contributions!" Seeing this, Bao Liguo also quickly knelt on the ground and begged bitterly. "They were all on foot, and they were in a tight line. You can't rush through like a cavalryman, and it's the first time I've seen fire and thunder."
"How come there are only seven people, and two centurions missing?" Daru Hua Chi He didn't listen to his explanation at all, frowned, and asked his own soldiers.
Massus and Ji Ping were killed on the spot. That's why the two hundred-man teams were in a mess, and when they retreated, they scattered the formations of several other hundred-man teams! The right-wing Senhu Bori glanced back at it, and then continued to intercede for his subordinates. Five centurions were executed at one time, and he will no longer have to be a thousand-commander in the future. Not only did the brothers no longer fight for themselves, but the organization of the battle became a problem. "Now that Massus and Gipin have paid the price for their stupidity, please read the merits of the brothers and spare the others from the death penalty! My lord, I beg you, my lord! ”
"My lord, it is true that the 100-man team of Massus and Ji Ping collapsed first. We followed behind these two centurions, and we were rushed to hold our ground" Receiving a hint from Bauri, Balbo, Buha, Maiden, Huluchi and other six people also hurriedly pushed the responsibility on the two centurions who were killed.
When Daru Hua Chihe heard this, his brows jumped slightly, and he made a decisive decision, "Defeat before fighting, and behead the whole army." For the sake of you and others being impulsively routed, the centurion each beat twenty military sticks, wrote them down first, and executed them in public after the battle. As for you?"
He glared at him, and his gaze became extremely cold again, "Deputy Qianhu Balbo, there is no way to command the army, and he abandons the army on the verge of battle. Push down, slash! Raise it up and spread it to the whole army! ”
"Spare your life, your lordship, spare your life!" Balbo, the deputy of the right wing, was suddenly frightened, grabbed the ground with his head, and cried and begged for mercy.
Daru Hua Chihe is in a hurry to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, where is he willing to listen to him cry again? With a slight frown, the soldiers immediately pounced on him like tigers and wolves, dragged the unlucky Balbo from the ground, and walked backwards. More than 40 steps away from the main general's banner, in front of more than 2,700 soldiers, he slashed with a knife. Then he picked up the head with a spear and held it high for everyone to see.
All the soldiers saw that their hearts were cold, and they lowered their heads one by one, and they didn't dare to take another breath of the atmosphere. Daruhua Chihe sat on his horse, his eyes moving with the bloodied head. It wasn't until the head was completely displayed around the three thousand people that he sighed and ordered in a deep voice, "Put it away, wrap it up with the corpse and put it next to you." When the battle is over, let the priest of the army come from the canal and join the other brothers who have died in battle. May the King of Heaven forgive him for his cowardice in life, Amen! ”
After that, he tapped his forehead, chest, right shoulder, and left shoulder a few times to show his condolences.
"Amen!" All the soldiers drew crosses in the order of forehead, chest, right shoulder, and left shoulder, and whispered prayers for all their fallen accomplices.
"Alright, the King of Heaven is watching us!" Daru Hua Chihe stretched out his hand, pressed it down, and then commanded loudly, "Zuo Qianhu Balu-"
"The last general!" Zuo Qianhu hurriedly took half a step forward and bowed down to obey the order.
"You take the seven hundred soldiers of the 1,000-man team on the left flank and the 1,000-man team on the right flank to the position where the attack just started. As soon as the drums on my side sounded, I will attack the rebels in the wall in small groups, in multiple waves, in small units, in multiple waves, as you have just said. Remember, go from left to right, then quickly retreat and then back to the left to re-attack. Don't stop until you crush them!! ”
"Yes!" Zuo Qianhu was surprised and delighted, turned around and glanced at the right Qianhu Baoli with a dead face, and stepped forward to take the order.
Without waiting for him to turn and leave, Daru Hua Chi Heguo raised another arrow, "Baoli, you take the remaining archers on the right flank and press it up from the front." Spread out your formations and wait for your enemies to snipe with your bow and arrows! This time, you don't want to be able to defeat the enemy, as long as you can keep firing arrows into the wall of the car and disrupt their counterattacks, it will be considered a failure! ”
"The last general obeys!" The right thousand households agreed helplessly, stepped forward to take the arrow, and then went back to their own team to deploy archers. Daru Hua Chi Heguo looked at his back and shook his head, pulled out the third arrow and handed it to the deputy commander Duo Erhei, "You take five hundred cavalry and follow behind Bao Li. If anyone on his side dares to turn around and retreat again, I will behead him directly. The honor of our Afghan army cannot be desecrated! ”
"Yes!" The deputy commander made Duo'er Hei stunned, and held the arrow tightly in his hand. Over the years, he has been quelling rebellions everywhere, even against the dead soldiers of the Shangyan Timur family, he has never seen Lord Dalu Huachi's expression so solemn, and he can't help but be secretly surprised in his heart.
As if guessing what he was thinking, Daru Huachi pointed to the Red Turban Army position in the distance with his horsewhip and whispered, "This is not an ordinary ant thief, and it is no wonder that Wu Rubuhua died at their hands last winter." With more than a thousand chain balls, even the ironclad army commanded by Tang Qishi had already collapsed. And the ant thief actually stood there all the time, not taking half a step back. ”
"Your eyes are like torches!" The deputy commander of the capital, Duo Erhei, stretched his neck and glanced behind the wall of the Red Turban Army a few times, and nodded in admiration. "That butcher surnamed Zhu actually took this opportunity to readjust his deployment, ready to continue to fight us to the end. Sure enough, he is a soldier who knows the soldiers, if he can't get it, it is possible to be the general of the Han army! ”
Tang Qishi was the son of the powerful minister Yan Timur, and after his father's death, because he was dissatisfied with another powerful minister, Boyan was domineering, and raised an army. With the retainers and the general old ministry and the counterinsurgency sent by Boyan, it was difficult to solve. At that time, both Hewu and Duoerhei participated in the counterinsurgency battle, although they had not yet sat in their current positions, but they also witnessed how the Afghan army broke the iron armor under Tang Qishi's command in several key battles. Compared with the two, the red turban ant thief in front of him, in terms of military appearance, morale and toughness, is already much stronger than the elite under Tang Qishi's account.
"If you see an opportunity for a while, you don't need to ask for instructions, just attack head-on!" After staring at the wall of the red turban military vehicle in the distance for another moment, Daru Hua Chihe continued to order, "I myself will take the rest of the men and horses to the top of about three hundred steps, and provide you and others with a response at any time!" Remember, this gang of ant thieves must be wiped out. That Zhu eighty-one, he wants to see people in life, and he wants to see corpses in death! He can't be given another chance to grow stiff wings. Otherwise, if he escapes, sooner or later he will become a big trouble for the imperial court! ”
