Chapter Ninety-Five: Killing the Prisoner
Because of Zhang Fei's crazy killing, Shi Hu was also ruthless, maybe Shi Hu's force was not as good as Zhang Fei, but he had much more experience than Zhang Fei, and he didn't fight stupidly with Zhang Fei on a horse.
Instead, he chose to dodge Zhang Fei's spear by rolling on the ground, and at the same time cut Xiao Xiao's front leg with a big knife, how could Zhang Fei be willing to let Xiao Xiao be injured? Since Wu Xiao's death, Zhang Fei has cherished Xiao Xiao even more.
Usually Xiao Xiao eats the best food, which is better than what people eat, Zhang Fei can only pull the reins fiercely, so that Xiao Xiao's front legs stand up, and he dodges Shi Hu's slash, Zhang Fei usually doesn't do this action.
This action may seem majestic to outsiders, but it does have a certain harm to the war horse, Shi Hu can be said to force Zhang Fei to make this action, Zhang Fei has been a ruthless stubble since he was a child.
Only he persecuted others, no one dared to provoke him, Shi Hu really angered Zhang Fei this time, Zhang Fei actually jumped off the war horse to fight Shi Hu, Zhang Fei did this for Xiao Xiao's safety.
The most important thing is that Zhang Fei feels that killing Shi Hu on a war horse is not as good as coming on the ground, Zhang Fei's riding skills are already good, but compared with foot combat, Zhang Fei still prefers foot combat.
It's not that Zhang Fei is stronger on the ground, but a little weaker than on the horse, after all, the length of the Zhangba spear of more than three meters is not suitable for use on the ground, even if Zhang Fei's martial arts talent is high, it can't make up for the shortcomings in weapons.
Even so, Zhang Fei still likes foot combat, he likes the feeling of close combat between people, this feeling makes Zhang Fei very excited, when Zhang Xiang pressed Zhang Fei to the position of cavalry commander, Zhang Fei was not happy in every way.
Although the facts have proved that Zhang Fei is indeed more suitable for riding battles, but Zhang Fei has been fighting a little unhappily, Zhang Xiang knows that he is a big brother, and he can't leave a little gap for him, otherwise Zhang Fei will have a way to get out.
Zhang Xiang wanted Zhang Fei to stay in the position of cavalry commander, but he gave a death order, just like prohibiting Zhang Fei from drinking in wartime, so Zhang Fei would not dismount to fight unless he had to do so in peacetime.
In fact, Shi Hu's approach is not wrong, but he is ruthless, shooting people first and shooting horses, and of course starting with war horses to deal with cavalry, but unfortunately his opponent is Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei has never been afraid of what the enemy will do to him on the battlefield.
If the enemy hurts himself, Zhang Fei will also admire him, feel that this opponent has the ability, no matter whether the enemy is alive or dead, Zhang Fei will treat him well, although the enemies who hurt Zhang Fei will die in the end, but Zhang Fei will also choose to bury him.
This is the respect for the opponent, but once someone attacks someone close to Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei will be very angry, although Xiao Xiao is a war horse, but Zhang Fei will be inseparable, Zhang Fei has a deep affection for Xiao Xiao, and even added his feelings for Wu Xiao to Xiao Xiao's body.
Zhang Xiang once joked that big brother, you will have a little with Xiao in the future! Although it is just a joke, it can also be seen that Zhang Fei attaches great importance to Xiao Xiao, Shi Hu just attacked Xiao Xiao, Zhang Fei was furious and must blow him up with his own hands.
Shi Hu has been fighting in the mountains for many years, and his steps are very flexible, while Zhang Fei has been taking the route of one force to ten meetings, and with the shortcomings of weapons, Zhang Fei really can't take Shi Hu for a while.
Shi Hu fought hard with Zhang Fei for a few rounds, but was repelled by Zhang Fei, Shi Hu knew that he was not Zhang Fei's opponent in terms of strength, so he fought with him, Zhang Fei did not like this kind of opponent jumping up and down.
Every time Zhang Fei faced him, he felt very irritable, especially if this opponent was still Shi Hu, he was even more irritable, just when Zhang Fei was fighting with Shi Hu, Lu split the opponent, and he shot Shi Hu in the thigh with a cold arrow.
In fact, Lu Pi was sure to shoot Shi Hu, but Lu Pi didn't want to make Zhang Fei unhappy, so he chose to shoot Shi Hu in the thigh and let Zhang Fei do it himself, but unfortunately Lu Pi didn't know how to do it and wouldn't let Zhang Fei appreciate it.
Zhang Fei doesn't like to be helped by others when he is fighting, of course, Zhang Fei is just unhappy, and he won't trouble Lu Split, Zhang Fei still knows the importance of this.
Shi Hu's thigh was injured and he couldn't move, Zhang Fei simply threw away the Zhangba spear, and while Shi Hu was not a single one, he pressed Shi Hu under him, Shi Hu was also a big man, but it was a bit dwarfed by Zhang Fei.
And Zhang Fei was still wearing heavy armor, if it weren't for Xiao Xiao's ordinary war horse, he really wouldn't be able to survive for long, Zhang Fei hit Shi Hu's right arm with his fist, Shi Hu's right arm was fractured on the spot, and he had lost the strength to hold the weapon.
Zhang Fei frantically hit Shi Hu's head with his fist until his brain burst, Shi Hu's subordinates were also frightened when they saw this situation, and immediately collapsed, and Zhang Xiang lost the last threat on this battlefield.
The Xiangfei Army slaughtered from both sides of the circle formation, and the group of thieves at this time had no room for backhanding, even if there was sporadic resistance, it was just a fur problem for the Xiangfei Army.
The group of thieves scattered and fled, and the Xiangfei Army did not pursue, first, the poor Kou Mo chased, and the second was that the soldiers of the Xiangfei Army were indeed not familiar with the terrain, and these thieves did not have much ability, but they ran very fast.
Xiang Feijun only captured 3,000 prisoners in this battle, which was much smaller than Zhang Xiang expected, and Zhang Xiang lost nearly seventy percent of his belongings in this battle except for those burial things, and Zhang Xiang lost a lot this time.
The army rested for a night, how could Zhang Xiang not bear to suffer a loss, looking at Shi Hu's unbearable corpse, Zhang Xiang had a new idea, to end Shi Hu's lair to make up for his loss this time.
Among the captives, there are naturally Shi Hu's subordinates, and those who can be caught as prisoners are incapable and timid, Zhang Xiang recruited everything without being tortured and questioned, and Zhang Xiang discovered Shi Hu's lair very smoothly.
Shi Hu doesn't look like a rough man, but his lair is built in a very orderly manner, not only with his back against the mountain wall, but also the wall is very high, if Zhang Xiang wants to storm the cottage, there will definitely be losses.
Things have developed to this point, Zhang Xiang can no longer bear any losses, although Zhang Xiang won a big victory in the first battle of the round formation, but he also killed and wounded 700 soldiers, this is not counting the light wounded, if Zhang Xiang is counting the remnants of the army, at least half of the army can not fight with all their strength.
Zhang Xiang had to send someone to persuade him to surrender first, after all, Shi Hu was dead, and the thieves in the village had no target to follow, so they should know what to do, and Zhang Xiang could also accept more prisoners, but Zhang Xiang was still disappointed.
Shi Hu stayed in the village were all his cronies, and when he saw Shi Hu's corpse, he was even more sad and angry, and he chose to rather die than defend the cottage, Zhang Xiang had no choice but to drive the tiger and devour the wolf regardless of morality.
Attack the strong cottage with the newly subdued captives, of course, these captives don't want to die and naturally fight with their lives, there are also 3,000 people in the cottage, but only a small number of people are loyal to Shi Hu, although this part of the people are the leaders of the cottage.
But in the choice of life and death, the thief chooses the former, which coincides with both the attacking side and the defending side, but the attacking side chooses life, and some people on the defending side choose death.
Now it seems that the cottage can still hold in the face of the attack of the captives, but it may be possible after a long time, and sure enough, only two hours later, Zhang Xiang saw civil strife on the wall.
Someone in the village took this opportunity to open the gate of the village, even so Zhang Xiang did not let Xiang Feijun do anything, just watched the captives kill into the cottage, and after a few hours, the movement in the village calmed down.
There were also spiritual people among the captives, all rushed to Zhang Xiang to report, Zhang Xiang then ordered the army to enter the cottage, looking at the tragic situation in the village, Zhang Xiang suddenly felt very accustomed, and there was no discomfort before.
Zhang Xiang also discovered his transformation in an instant, his heart became cold, Zhang Xiang looked at the bones on the ground, and suddenly felt that such a change may not be a good thing for him.
Zhang Xiang and the generals entered the meeting hall of the cottage, Zhang Xiang naturally sat on the main seat, waiting for Hang Tong's return, in fact, now the sundries in Xiangfei's army are all in charge of Hang Tong, Yang Xu is too lazy to do it, and secondly, it is not his forte to deal with sundries.
Simply handed over these trivial chores to Hang Tong, Zhang Xiang waited in the conference hall for a few hours and did not speak, Zhang Xiang was indeed too tired in the past two days, Zhang Xiang did not speak, and the generals naturally did not dare, so the atmosphere in the conference hall was very quiet.
The silence can make people shudder, suddenly Hang Tong pushed open the door of the conference hall, and the generals suddenly looked at Hang Tong as if looking at a savior, Hang Tong was still a good old man's image, and he smiled when he saw people, "There are indeed a lot of good things in the Lord Shihu Village, but it still can't make up for the amount of property we lost, I roughly calculated, we lost thirty percent of our property in the two-day war, but there were more than four thousand mouths." ”
This kind of result can also be heard by the generals, of course Zhang Xiang can also hear it, "This is already good, those captives we can still use in the state, but there are some worthless people among the captives, and we can't use that mouth." ”
Long Xing walked up at this time, "As the lord said, we need to use these prisoners, if we kill their companions in front of the prisoners, it seems that it will make them suspicious, which is not a good thing for our army." ”
When Long Xing walked out, Long Ben's ice cube face finally changed, Long Ben followed Zhang Xiang for a long time, but he couldn't feel Zhang Xiang's pulse, last time someone questioned Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang was furious! He couldn't help but worry about his brother.
The generals don't know about Long Xing, if it weren't for Long Ben, Long Xing would not be qualified to enter the council hall at all, Long Ben has always been out of line with the masses, and naturally he will not speak for Long Xing, and even more so, he is still waiting to see Long Xing's jokes.
However, these are even going to be disappointed, the nature of this matter is different from the last time, and Zhang Xiang naturally has to treat it separately, "You are right, since you can't face them, it's better to go behind their backs, and you can solve this matter." ”
