Chapter 8: The Price of a Traitor

Of course, Liu Liangzuo, who had been on the horse for half his life, would not fail to hear the meaning of this sound, and the dust rolling up in the distance was also telling him: There is a large army rushing towards this side, and there are thousands of cavalry alone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Liangzuo's cold sweat kept coming out of his back, and he hadn't experienced this feeling like falling into an ice cave for a long time. Although after taking refuge in the master of Jiannu, he changed his habit of loving foreign workers in the past and dared to be the first in everything, but he worked hard for his glory and wealth. However, if you earn all this, you have to have a life to enjoy it. As for sending his master to death, he thinks that he is not so noble.

"Withdraw, withdraw quickly, the sooner the better" Liu Liangzuo muttered in his heart as he ordered a retreat with a shudder.

The army coming from the direction of Taiping Mansion had already revealed its true colors, and the officers and soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion, who were fighting with the traitor army, saw the red battle clothes and the looming Ming army battle flag in the distance, and immediately broke out into a series of earth-shaking cheers, and their morale soared again.

The traitor army no longer had the courage to fight anymore, especially after receiving the order to retreat, they only hated the old lady for having two legs, quickly broke away from contact with the Ming army, and fled in defeat towards the way they came.

Of course, the Ming army would not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs, and the officers and soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion and the reinforcements who had previously served as ambushes took the opportunity to cover up and kill, slash and kill the routs, capture countless enemies, and dozens of carts of grain and grass of the traitor army were also captured. However, because of the factors of the main force of Jiannu behind, the Ming army did not chase too far, and invisibly let the traitor army have a way out.

After the two Ming armies converged, Pang Yue came to the front line of the Ming army with a tired body, and the supreme commander Deng Linzu saluted: "I have seen the chief soldier, the Flying Tiger Battalion successfully completed the task of ambushing Liu Yizhi. ”

"Hahaha, General Pang Shen will hurry up! In this battle, your department has made a lot of contributions! Deng Linzu laughed and stepped forward to help Pang Yue, his tone was full of approval, "If it weren't for General Pang's Flying Tiger Battalion struggling to hold back Liu Yi's army, how could our army have such a result?" ”

"The chief soldier praised it falsely, this is the duty of the last generals. Liu Liangzuo's dog thief sold himself for glory, and colluded with Jiannu to kill my Ming life. We only hope that we can slash this thief to comfort the souls of our compatriots who have died in heaven, but we dare not talk about merit. ”

Pang Yue's words stunned Deng Linzu, it was not that he had never dealt with Pang Yue before, but he never remembered that this stunned young man who had never known the height of the sky would say such modest words. Doubts are doubts, but Deng Linzu's impression of Pang Yue suddenly improved a little: "Haha, General Pang is not only brave, but also able to know the general situation so well, which is really rare." ”

Next, Deng Linzu began to arrange for the army to withdraw to Taiping City to rest. When several subordinates asked him how to deal with the prisoners, Deng Linzu always had difficulty making a decision. According to the current situation, if all these captives were taken away, it would not only be a burden but also a factor of instability; It is not appropriate to let go, it is equivalent to directly removing the psychological burden of the traitor army, so that they can come to their own trouble without worries; As for ....... killing, it is difficult for Deng Linzu, who thinks he is above board, to agree with the act of killing prisoners.

Looking at Deng Linzu's contemplative expression, Pang Yue sighed secretly. This Deng Linzu is very set in military affairs, and he is also very bold, but as a military general, he likes to be emotional, too easily disturbed by external factors, and it is difficult to make decisions at critical moments. This flaw in character also led to his later tragedy. In the real history, Huang Degong was killed by a secret arrow, and after Hongguang was robbed by Tian Xiong and Ma Degong, Deng Linzu lost the idea of fighting again, and committed suicide in despair with another general soldier Yang Biao and Weng Zhiqi of the Chinese army, and his soldiers and horses were also slaughtered by the Qing army. When Pang Yue saw this historical material, he was thinking, if Deng Linzu and Yang Biao could calm down a little and take advantage of the fact that the Qing army had not yet closed the siege to lead the army to break through, why would the tens of thousands of troops under Huang Degong's account be wiped out? …,

"Lord Commander, it's best not to leave this kind of scumbag, this is the price they should pay!" Pang Yue solemnly suggested to Deng Linzu. Seeing that Deng Linzu seemed to be still thinking about it, Pang Yue's tone became a little more anxious: "I know that adults are generous and don't want to kill indiscriminately, but have these brutes ever thought about opening up the net when facing the defenseless people?" Shall we still preach morality with beasts? ”

Deng Linzu finally gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Okay, kill!" ”

When the screams and begs for mercy of the traitor army captives came, Pang Yue was organizing the Flying Tiger Battalion to evacuate the battlefield. Hearing this voice, he did not feel even the slightest pity.

Since these bastards have chosen to be traitors and abusive, how can they not pay a little price? This is the retribution they deserve! Pang Yue looked at the heads that were cut off not far away with disdain, and stepped onto his jujube red horse.

By the time the messenger sent by Liu Liangzuo met the main force of Jiannu, the sun was already in the west.

"You've been ambushed by Minggou? How many of them are there? When asked this, Jiannu Coach Nikan looked very relaxed, and there was even a hint of mockery on his face.

"Back to Lord Belle's words, it's true! It was Huang Chuangzi's men and horses who ambushed us, first several thousand, and then tens of thousands. Our troops were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. The messenger of the traitor army knelt with his head on the ground, and there was a cry in his voice.

Nikan let out a noncommittal "hum" from his nostrils and continued to ask, "Did the Ming dog catch up?" ”

"Back to Lord Belle, no"

"Well, I know, you go back and tell General Liu, let him camp in place and rest, and I will go over to meet him tomorrow."

"The villain obeys"

After the messenger had gone, Nikan ordered the camp to rest. Baya Lazhang Jingtulai stepped forward and asked, "Lord Belle, the forward has been ambushed by Minggou, and the enemy situation in front is unknown, is it a little inappropriate to camp now?" ”

Nikan touched the rat-tail-thick pigtail on the back of his head and sneered, "Is there something so wrong?" That Ming dog dared to be angry with Liu Liangzuo, knowing that the main force of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty was behind, and he didn't even dare to chase too far. Why should I care about this kind of rat? Are you afraid that they will come and rob the camp? Well, if they dare to come, it will be as I wish. ”

"Then at least let Liu Liangzuo join us as soon as possible! What if Minggou attacks again? Still unrelenting, Turai asked, but as soon as he finished asking, he heard a burst of laughter from behind him.

"Hahahaha......" Gushan Beizi Tunqi, who was dressed in a blue flag cotton armor, walked over with a laugh: "Why, our Baturu and the barbarians have been getting along for so many days, and they still get along?" Minggou attacked Liu Liangzuo again, what does it have to do with us? Don't say twice, it's twenty or two hundred. As long as it doesn't hit us, what do we have to lose? ”

Nikan also smiled: "Since Liu Liangzuo wants to take refuge in the Qing Dynasty, he has to do something for us in a down-to-earth manner!" Our Manchurian soldiers are limited, and we can't fight Minggou in person in every battle, so he has to rush to the front for us. Otherwise, why would the Qing Dynasty take him in? If he doesn't want to, he can get out of the house immediately, anyway, this kind of dog is everywhere, as many as he wants, and it's not worse than his one. ”

After listening to Nikan and Tunqi's words, Thurai realized that his point was indeed a bit ridiculous, so he let out a burst of self-deprecating laughter.

The Jiannu generals were chatting happily, but they probably didn't think that if these words reached Liu Liangzuo's ears, the famous flower horse Liu would probably cry and roar on the spot: "Who am I recruiting to provoke whom?" In order to find a good future, he changed his court, first he was beaten by his former compatriots, and he was treated as a worthless dog by his master! Could it be that you have to pay such a big price to join the Qing Dynasty? ”…,

At night, the city of Taipingfu was quiet, and there was hardly a single person to be seen on the moonlit streets except for the soldiers patrolling the night, and the houses on both sides of the street were also pitch black. Since the day before yesterday, most of the inhabitants of the city have taken refuge in the city under the organization of the government, and only the army is left in the city at this time.

Pang Yue stood at the head of the north gate and looked into the distance through the battlement.

"Oh, Lord Zhang!" Ma Yuancheng's voice came.

"Hehe, it's nothing, I just went to the city to inspect, and when I saw that General Pang was here, I came over to take a look." Deng Linzu's guerrilla Wang Dongri walked over with a smile, "Brother Pang is really good-hearted, the enemy still has this Yaxing Shangcheng view." ”

Wang Dongri was promoted together with Pang Yue a few days ago, and is currently the acting battalion officer of the Zhenwei Battalion of Deng Lin's ancestral department. He met Pang Yue a long time ago, and the two have cooperated in battles many times, and their relationship has always been good. In addition, Wang Dongri is straightforward, and he did not deliberately alienate the friendship between the two because Pang Yue's rank was higher than his own.

"Haha, it turned out to be Brother Xu Zhi (Wang Dongri's character)." Because Wang Dongri is five years older than himself, Pang Yue has always been called a brother.

"Brother Pang is worried about tomorrow's war?"

"I'm a little worried, after all, this is the first time we've been at war with Jiannu." Pang Yue looked at the stars in the sky and continued: "However, there is no need to worry too much, Jiannu is also a human, and it is still two holes if you shoot it." ”

Wang Dongri nodded: "Brother Pang is reasonable, over the years, my Ming Dynasty and Jiannu have repeatedly lost battles, and one of the biggest reasons is that since the first battle of Salhu, our army has been afraid of Jiannu, even if it has an advantage in numbers and equipment, it will be afraid of the enemy like a tiger." In this case, how can you win? ”

"The most ridiculous thing is that 'the Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000, and the 10,000 cannot be warned', in order to cover up their incompetence, some rats used an exaggerated remark from Yelu Yanxi of the Liao State to the Jurchen today. Is it really unwarlike? During the Chongzhen period, when I had not yet joined the army, I had seen Jiannu break through the border wall and enter the Ming Dynasty many times. Pang Yue made up his experience without any pressure, "At that time, dozens or even a dozen Jiannu dared to drive the looted cattle and escort the people of the Ming Dynasty past in front of the Ming army. At that time, I saw that in addition to being a little arrogant and having a little more battlefield experience, those Jiannu were not remarkable, and there were even some old men in their fifties and sixties and half-grown dolls. But even so, the strong troops in the military cantonment didn't dare to attack, no matter how many people there were. After a long time, Jiannu will never take the Ming army in his eyes again. It's sad to think that this 'unwarable' is actually caused by ourselves, but we still have to take it as a golden rule. ”

Wang Dongri listened with a serious face and said solemnly: "I have also heard of these things, but I have not seen them with my own eyes like Brother Pang. As a military general of the Ming Dynasty, it is a great shame not to be able to protect the territory and the people. If we encounter Jiannu tomorrow, we must not let this happen again. ”

Looking at Wang Dongri, who was righteous and strict, Pang Yue couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Wang Dongri in real history did not live up to his words, and led a lone army to guard Taiping and fight with Jiannu until the last moment. However, a few days ago, Pang Yue took advantage of the opportunity of being received by Huang Degong to persuade Huang Degong to change his plan to stick to the peace that did not make much sense, and I don't know if Wang Dongri's fate can be changed because of this.

Jiannu, I fought with you in my dreams almost every day in my previous life, and now you have finally appeared in front of my eyes! Whether it's tomorrow or any other time in the future, I'll personally prove that your "invincible world" is pure! I will use your heads to comfort the countless innocent souls of the undead in Huaxia! Wait! When he looked into the distance again, Pang Yue's eyes were already full of pre-war excitement.
