Cheng Yuan has not yet recovered from the fierce killing, he did not close his eyes and wait for death, but still stared at the eyes of the enemy soldier fiercely, the other party was startled by his ruthless appearance, but in the end, it was a professional soldier, the man calmed down and raised the barrel of the gun, about to pierce it.

In the crisis, Cheng Yuan grabbed the opponent's gun in time with his survival instinct, and this shot did not pierce his throat for the time being, but the other party continued to press the tip of the gun down, and immediately pressed down on his own weight, how could Cheng Yuan win with only arm strength? Seeing that the tip of the spear was getting closer and closer to his throat, Chengyuan's strength was almost exhausted.

Just as he was thinking that he was going to die immediately, the man's momentum was instantly relaxed, and Cheng Yuan got up from the ground with a grunt, and found that the other party had been hit by a crossbow arrow in the back of the head.

He looked around and found that Shi Shouxin, who was not far away, was holding a crossbow with an arm and smiling at him.

"I'll go! Third Brother Shi! It's a great grace to save lives! Cheng Yuanjian's subordinates who were trustworthy also killed on the side of the horse circle, and they were overjoyed.

The vicious battle that Qiu Feihu and Chengyuan encountered just now lasted for a short time, although it could not be called a shocking ghost, but it was really dangerous. At this time, the reinforcements had merged with them, and the horses in the camp were completely safe, and the two of them could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Shi Shouxin brandished a long-bladed Tang knife with both hands, like chopping melons and vegetables, and everyone on the opposite side was invincible. While slashing and killing, he also spared his kung fu to shout with Chengyuan:

"Kui Xinggong, Sect Leader Qiu, you are really exhausted, leave the rest to our brothers, you hurry up and complete the credit you just made, this is serious!"

"Third Brother Shi is missing," Cheng Yuan knew that he was reminding him to quickly cut off the heads of the enemy soldiers he had killed to prepare for meritorious service, so as not to be snatched away by others, so he smiled and said, "Except for me and Sect Leader Qiu, that is, you, our own brothers don't have these concerns!" ”

With that, he remounted his horse and prepared to move on to the kill.

"Fight slowly!" Qiu Feihu threw the spear in his hand to him, "Now that the situation has become outnumbered again, the two of us just need to respond to Shi Shouxin's sentry and horses, and at this time, it is more advantageous to use a spear of more than one zhang." ”

Chengyuan took it and answered, thinking that it couldn't be better to have a head coach to open a small stove for himself.

Qiu Feihu changed Chengyuan's short spear, leaned down and picked up a seven-foot iron spear, and simply used it with both hands as a double spear.

This fierce battle actually only dragged on for half an hour, but for Cheng Yuan, it was simply the "longest ten minutes" in his life. However, the short time they delayed was enough, how quickly did Guo Rong's Xingjie army react? At this time, all the carriages were basically in place according to the anti-robbery camp drills in the spring and autumn exercises, and they saw that the other party's men and horses were forced to shrink more and more.

Li Hongxin's soldiers and horses on the left flank sealed the enemy's coming, just like the last pinch when making dumplings, and the Hezhong army in the camp was completely besieged and could only wait for death. The Xingjie army continued to shrink the encirclement, forcing the Hezhong army to the center, just like holding an egg in his hand, even if it failed to crush it for the time being, it would be sooner or later.

"Kill! Kill! ”

Xingjiejun shouted the trumpet, waiting for the commander to give an order, and sent the enemy soldiers of the two capitals to Huangquan.

Guo Rong boarded a half-person-high platform that had been moved from the people, looked at these enemy soldiers from above, and did not say a word. It wasn't until the murderous aura on Hezhongjun's face had completely dissipated with the wind, leaving only a panicked expression of survival, that he said loudly:

"Brothers in the river! The general, Guo Rong and Guo Jungui, is the commander of the Han Xingjie Army. I have no grudge against you, only because you were used by the traitor Li Shouzhen, I have to fight with your life, and now you have been surrounded by groups and have no physiology, but this is here to ask for an order, not to kill. It is necessary to know that the beginning of the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty - Criminal Law Chronicles", that is, the military affairs of various generations, what was done? This is the first of all punishments in Bangu's military affairs, and today I have a word: As long as you return with all your blades, I will never stop the Xingjie army, and I will not hurt your life. ”

After saying this, Guo Rong clasped his hands into fists, saluted the more than 2,000 enemy troops, and got down from the platform with his head held high.

Li Hongxin gave an order to let the soldiers under his command get out of the way. The besieged enemy was at first stunned and unbelievable, until a few soldiers in the river farther north tried to take a step towards the gap.

Suddenly, the tip of Xingjiejun's spear was pointed at the throats of these people:

"Lay down your blade! Lay down the blade! ”

Under such a loud shout, the soldiers in the river finally completely succumbed to the demands of Guo Rong's speech just now, and with the sound of swords falling to the ground, everyone gave up their arms one after another.

The Xingjie army did not break their word and take the opportunity to slaughter them, but really put these defeated troops back in the main city......

There are still many people who can't understand Guo Rong's behavior, but in fact, this idea was made by Cao Zheng, who joined the army.

It turned out that in Cao Zheng's view: if Guo Wei's army's siege of Hezhong Mansion wanted to be solved as soon as possible, it was necessary to let the enemy's military food consume as soon as possible. Now, instead of killing these defeated soldiers, it is better to let them go back with a few thousand mouths and continue to consume Li Shouzhen's food, which is the first benefit;

Second, these people did not return victoriously or retreat in defeat, but were disarmed by the Xingjie army and returned to the main city with their lives, which has seriously damaged the dignity and morale of the other party. What's more: frustration is contagious, and the raiding troops will lead the rest of the army to become languishing, and if they are gathered and slaughtered, it will make all the soldiers and civilians in the enemy city feel hostile.

At this time, Chengyuan also secretly analyzed, knowing that what Guo Rong put back was not a force of the opponent's combat power, but a dose of poison......

Of course, there is also a third: this also makes a name for himself in benevolence and righteousness, this move will be in stark contrast to Zhao Sijuan, who ate the liver of a captive a few months ago, and makes Guo Wei's army absolutely invincible in morality!

……………………………………………………………………………

Early the next morning, the Chinese army raised its account, and Guo Wei began to reward and punish the counter-raid battle at the south gate the day before. He was accustomed to making ugly remarks first, so when everyone was in place, he took the blame for the disposition of the captives to his son.

"Guo Rong, what crime should you be guilty of releasing the prisoners back to the enemy city without the Chinese army's deliberations?"

Although Guo Wei knew his son's hard work, he still had to go through the scene. Guo Rong briefly summarized yesterday's overall considerations, and explained a few words about why he released the people in advance without waiting for the next day's deliberations of the Chinese army:

"Back to the commander, at the end of last night, I thought: this is the first battle with the river, and the morale of the enemy army is high at this time, because if they do not immediately promise to let them return to the city, then the enemy army will never abandon their blades, and then either the two sides will continue to fight fiercely, or they will have to continue to shrink the encirclement and kill them."

"What Jungui said is right," Liu Ci also agreed: "If they don't agree to release people, they won't disarm, and once they are allowed to disarm and return to the city, they can't go back on their word, which is why they don't have time to report." ”

Guo Wei looked around the account, not only Liu Ci, but also Li Chongjin, Bai Wenke, Li Hongxin and everyone else nodded, thinking that Guo Rong's actions were not only innocent, but also meritorious.

"Yesterday's victory was the first victory of our army, and this is a good thing. Since Guo Jungui is not guilty, he can be judged on merit. ”

It was the old man Feng Dao on the side who said this.

Guo Wei picked up last night's battle report and looked at it a few more times, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Black and white cavalry generals?" What kind of flower is this? ”

Guo Rongwan said: "The marshal doesn't know, when the enemy rushed in last night, the first group quickly killed the horse circle of the Xingjie army.

Guo Wei gasped and said, "What? The horses were tied to the porch and could not escape, and it only took a few fires to throw them into the forage and it was all over! ”

Guo Rong replied with a smile: "Fortunately, two people from the Xingjie army did not go back to sleep, they were talking there, and they resisted on horseback when they saw that the situation was not good. One of them happened to get on a black horse, and the other rode a white horse, so this morning both inside and outside Puzhou City were talking about the 'black and white cavalry generals' in the Xingjie army. ”

"Well, the military horse was saved, and the credit is not small, who are these two people?"

"The one who rides the white horse is Qiu Feihu, the head of the right wing."

"Well, I know this person," Guo Wei nodded again and again: "What about another dark horse rider?" ”

Guo Rong simply laughed: "That is Sima Cheng Kuiyuan, the Xingjie Military Authority." ”

The generals in the big tent of the Chinese army looked at each other, and the staff officers always picked up their blades to protect themselves when they encountered the enemy's night attack, and they followed the commander to help cover the day, like Chengyuan, who rode a big horse and a gun to the dog to get a mouse, Sima can't say no, but it's really rare......

"Oh?" Guo Wei smiled: "He didn't throw away his life, he was really lucky." Well...... Did he learn to cut off people's heads, count them? ”

"He's got ...... count?"

"Well, in that case, you will reward it according to the law."

"The last general commands." Guo Rong still couldn't help but smile......
