Chapter 22: Light and Shadow (II)

Xia Yangou's head flew into the air, Hu Lude got up from the ground, stumbled and dodged, and was trampled over by several other high-speed war horses, turning into a pile of meat sauce in the blink of an eye. McJid was the most agile, and took the initiative to flee for his life at the last moment when the war horse was about to rush in front of him, however, the two legs did not run over the four legs, and he was caught up by a team leader under Fu Youde, and wiped off half of his head with a knife.

"Don't fight, follow me after Na Na Na!" Fu Youde raised the bloody Yanling knife again and greeted loudly.

"Kill Na Na The brethren responded in unison, riding their horses and biting down on the enemy's buttocks.

Na Wu Na couldn't run away, although Xia Yangou had taken the dead soldiers to desperately break for him, although now there were still hundreds of Great Food mercenaries and holy warriors around him, struggling to open up a bloody path for him. However, under the full force of the Huai'an cavalry, all the broken forces collapsed. And Chen Youding found that the destruction of the Pu family army was imminent, and he decisively rushed over with the elite of the lineage. Before his own army was crushed, he blocked the head of the horse.

"The surname is Chen, I have no grievances with you!" Suddenly, Na Urna found that his front was empty, and immediately, he saw Chen Youding and the spear jungle behind him.

Each spear was more than eight feet long, the rear end poked into the dirt, and the front end was raised diagonally upward, the height of which was exactly the same as the neck of the war horse. If the Urna continued to flee for his life, he would be sending himself and his mount to the edge of the spear, and then turning into a sieve.

"Back then, Zhao Song also had no grievances with your Pu family, and had the grace of shelter and acceptance!" Chen Youding shrank his body into the spear jungle, and his voice sounded extremely cold. "Dismount and surrender! is also a Fujian person, falling into my hands, it must be better than the killing god behind you! ”

"You, you" The Urna was so angry that his eyes darkened for a while, but he had to stop his mount. The Great Food Mercenaries and Holy Warriors around him also grabbed their horses one after another, at a loss. If it were a normal day, they could find countless ways to crack the spear formation. But right now, this spear array, which is not thick, has become their flesh and blood altar, and the Huai'an cavalry chasing behind them is a butcher's knife raised high.

"Surrender! Surrender! Seeing that Fu Youde and the Huai'an army were already rushing closer and closer, a big food mercenary decisively jumped off his mount and raised his hands high.

The devils behind are so cruel that the big cannibals fall into their hands, I don't know what will happen? And Chen Youding, at worst, was once a general of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and he was a colleague of the Pu family. If he wants to gain a foothold in Fujian for a long time, after the ransom is scavenged, he should leave a way for everyone to live!

"Surrender, surrender!" Since a wise man took the lead, someone immediately quickly followed. The Huai'an Army has just arrived, and it will not compete with Chen Youding. And falling into the hands of Chen Youding is definitely better than falling into the hands of the Huai'an army, and these two points almost immediately became a tacit consensus. Even if some people had doubts about this, seeing that their companions around them had made a decisive choice, they had no choice but to raise their hands and follow the crowd.

And the white horse devil and the Huai'an cavalry led by him really didn't want to have a misunderstanding with the newcomer. After the last dozen paces, he pulled his mount hard. Let Chen Youding's men and horses push the captives to the ground and tie them up one by one.

Seeing this scene, the last few Great Food Mercenaries and Holy Warriors also sighed and jumped off their horses. In the blink of an eye, there was no one else around Na Na who was sitting on his horse. Knowing that he could not return to the sky, he sighed blankly, dropped the reins, and staggered out of the saddle.

"Kill them all! Avenge the Great Song Dynasty! At the moment when his feet landed, Chen Youding's voice suddenly came from Na Wuna's ears. He raised his head in astonishment, and then saw that he was supported by a stream of blood light and flew into the sky. Under the clouds, there were more than 100 headless corpses, staggering, staggering, and finally stumbling down like roosters killed by butchers.

"Chen Youding, what are you doing?" In the blood light that rose to the sky, Fu Youde's eyes widened, and the tip of the knife pointed at Chen Youding's nose.

On the battlefield, what is particular is not to give in to the face and to raise hands mercilessly. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself and the brothers around oneself. So he shot very decisively, and the knife killed him. But the killing of prisoners after the war was a different matter entirely. Don't say that this move seriously violated the discipline of the Huai'an Army, even when they were bandits, many people on the green forest road felt that killing the prisoners would be punished by heaven!

"Surnamed Chen, you're crazy. General Fu gave you all the credit. Why do you bother?! Not only Fu Youde was angry at the indiscriminate killing that happened in front of him, but the other generals in the cavalry brigade could not tolerate Chen Jiajun's evil deeds and opened their mouths to condemn them.

Previously, out of pride, they had generously ceded the credit for capturing enemy generals to the new returnees. In their opinion, Chen Youding needs this credit to settle in the Huai'an army, and everyone will fight in the future, and they don't care about these 100 prisoners. Who would have thought that Chen Youding would be so decisive in killing, in order to avoid the two families from competing for merit, he actually cut off all the heads of the captives without hesitation!

This is not just greed, but extreme shamelessness. Because the dead cannot speak, the credit goes to whoever has their head. But his surname Chen doesn't want to think about it, if Manager Zhu is really so easy to fool, how can he lay such a big foundation in just a few years? If the "supervising army" at all levels of the Huai'an Army would turn a blind eye to his actions, how could this force sweep through Jiangsu and Zhejiang?

Just when everyone was furious, Chen Youding on the other side suddenly laughed, "General Fu, you misunderstood. Chen's move is not to fight for merit, but to remove a hidden danger for the lord! Hahahaha! ”

Immediately, his voice quickly turned cold, and Sen Ran added: "These bastards have just signed an alliance with the lord, and they turned around and came to sneak attack, how can their surrender count?" If Chen doesn't kill them today, sooner or later, they will jump out again and cause trouble for the lord! ”

After that, without waiting for Fu Youde to refute, he waved his arm vigorously and ordered in a low voice, "Come on, go, send the head of that Wuna to General Fu!" Whoever should be credited is whoever, General Fu's good intentions, let's not be that philistine villain! ”

"Yes!" Immediately, a few Chen disciples picked up the head of Na Wu from the pool of blood and trotted towards Fu Youde. Then he bowed down three feet from Luma and raised his head high above his head.

"Chen Youding, you, you" In the next moment, Fu Youde's eyes were already on fire. If it weren't for the patience of military discipline, he even had an urge to cross the horse and cut Chen Youding over.

What don't live up to General Fu's good intentions? What is it for the lord to eliminate hidden dangers? The surname Chen is obviously deliberately disgusting himself with the head of Na Na Na! to block the impeachment of the military judges and the prison army. Could it be that as a "veteran" who has been famous for many years, can he really take the head unceremoniously for himself? And Fu someone's refusal to accept the head, isn't it just in the hands of him Chen?!

"General Fu doesn't have to be polite, Chen is not the one who doesn't know what to do!" Seeing that his words squeezed Fu Youde into a dilemma. Chen Youding arched his hand and added with a sneer. At this moment, his heart was full of happiness. "This credit is yours, as for Chen, go and get it elsewhere!"

After a slight pause, he quickly raised his scimitar and looked at his descendants, "Pass my order, quickly clean up the battlefield, and then go to Quanzhou." There are still many children of the Pu family who are shrinking in Quanzhou City! Take them down and avenge the Great Song royal family! ”

"Yes!" The children of the Chen family choked their breath and opened their throats in response. Immediately pointed up their respective subordinates one by one, and went straight to the remnants of the Pu family on the battlefield, as long as the opponent reacted a little slowly, he slashed at the neck, and blood splashed.

And those remnants of the Pu family suddenly found that their commander was missing, and the holy warriors and big food mercenaries in the team also rode away one after another, and the morale that was left suddenly collapsed completely. Or drop their weapons and flee for their lives, or kneel on the ground, and let the children of the Chen family rush over and cut off their heads, one by one, more docile than lambs to be slaughtered.

"Chen Youding, stop! Chen Youding, hurry up and let you stop! Seeing that the other party had intensified, Fu Youde could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. As soon as his feet clamped the horse's belly, he was ready to rush forward and use a steel knife to force Chen Youding to stop the slaughter. Chen Youding, on the other hand, had already gone out, turning a blind eye to the Yanling Knife that was already close at hand, stalking his neck, and pretending to ask in confusion, "What's the matter, my General Fu." Are they unwilling to surrender, and our Huai'an army still has to kneel down and beg them? ”

"You, you" Fu Youde's fair face completely turned blue and purple, and the Yanling knife in his hand could no longer move downward. The other party was shameless to the end, and he couldn't provoke infighting in his "own team" in order to save the lives of a group of enemy remnants. Moreover, in this southern expedition, it was not only Chen Youding's family who led the troops to surrender. If he hurt him with his own hands, what would the other military leaders think? Even if it is just a little bit of oily skin and spread, a few other newly surrendered generals will inevitably die and be sad!

When he was furious, a broken cry suddenly came from his ears, "Fu Youde, what are you doing here?" Quickly put the knife down. Chen Youding, don't mess around, hurry up and come over with Fu Youde to listen to the order. The Grand Steward commanded that after the first phase of the battle is over, the two of you will immediately move on to the next round of missions! ”

"You?!" When Fu Youde heard this, he turned around and happened to see the anxious face of Xu Hongsan, the commander of the independent brigade.

"Yes!" Chen Youding's reaction was much happier than Fu Youde's, and he immediately jumped off the horse's back and got out of the attack range of the Yanling Knife. "General Xu, the last general Chen Youding, lead 30,000 Min Erlang, and wait for the lord's dispatch."

"The last general, Chen Youshun!"

"The last general, Chen Xian!"

"The last general Chen Youyi!"

"The Last Shogun"

Chen Youding's side, several subordinate generals who had not left for the time being, also dismounted. While taking the initiative to give Xu Hongsan a salute, he kept burning at Fu Youde's side with anger in his eyes.

Killing prisoners and surrendering is the most normal thing for them. In other words, since ancient times, this move has been a common practice in the Ba Fujian area. If you don't kill, not only will the victor be invincible, but the loser will also be afraid of being settled by the autumn queen, and you can't live in fear.

"General Xu, please give the order!" Seeing the performance of the Chen family, Xia Jun, the commander of the cavalry, was afraid that Fu Youde would suffer. Gently pulled the latter, then dismounted and bowed. "The last general is wearing chain mail and has difficulty moving, please don't blame General Xu!"

"General Xu, please forgive me for waiting for the armor to be on my body!" The other cavalry generals also raised their hands in the saddle of their horses. Although Xu Hongsan was also a brigade commander, because he was in charge of the Guards Brigade, his rank was a full two levels higher than that of an ordinary brigade commander. And his intimacy with Manager Zhu also made everyone have to look up to him.

Xu Hongsan himself, but he didn't think there was anything abnormal about everyone's politeness. The main general of this ambush battle is him, Fu Youde and Chen Youding, both of whom are temporarily at his disposal. The second-step combat plan was also drawn up before departure. It's just that the military advisor Liu Bowen only conveyed it to him alone, and didn't tell the extra ears.

In the expectation and flattering gaze of everyone, Xu Hongsan took a breath slowly, and said loudly: "Spread the order of the General Staff of the Huaiyang Great Governor's Mansion, and after Chen Youding achieves the goal of the first stage, he will immediately go south to seize Quanzhou City, exterminate the remnants of the Pu family, and restore local tranquility. With Fu Youde's cavalry, they rushed to Quanzhou Port and detained the Pu family's ships as much as possible to avoid them from causing trouble on the sea! ”

"Yes!" Chen Youding was overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward to take the arrow, turned around and jumped on horseback, and gathered his brothers as fast as he could.

Fu Youde couldn't believe his ears, looked at Xu Hongsan in a daze, and only after a long time did he take the arrow under the urging of the other party, and muttered: "You, you said that this is really what the chief manager means?" Capturing the wharf is not a big deal, but let Chen Youding take over Quanzhou, isn't it, isn't it a wolf as a herd? ”

This battle was won cleanly, so it was difficult for the Pu family to get the news of the defeat in a short period of time. And the cavalry galloped over with no horsepower, and it was absolutely possible to leave most of the ships in Quanzhou Harbor that did not carry enough food and fresh water on the docks. And then turn waste into treasure and rapidly expand the water division of the Huai'an Army.

But sending Chen Youding to take over Quanzhou was a complete chaos. Not to mention that the Chen family was not very harmonious with the Pu family in the first place, and they would definitely take the opportunity to retaliate. Based on Chen Youding's very spicy move to kill and surrender troops just now, after he led his troops to control Quanzhou, how could the Pu family, as well as those auxiliary families of the Pu family in Quanzhou, still have a little way to live?

"It may not be the order of the chief manager himself, but the chief manager may not be unaware!" Forced by Fu Youde's gaze, Xu Hongsan quickly looked around and responded in a very low voice. "We're running out of time! Mengyuan is in civil strife, and the Huai'an army must wave the Northern Expedition as soon as possible! ”
