Volume 2 Cangyan Black Cloud Chapter 070 Iron-Blooded Brother Shu
At the foot of the mountain, the 5,000-day army was intercepted by cavalry and infantry, and was squeezed on a narrow road, unable to advance or retreat, and was overcrowded.
A massacre has begun!
Ge Shuhan has always governed the army severely, although he was forced by the situation and had to temporarily tolerate the Anxi army, but he was ruthless to the Tianwu army, not to mention, it was a capital crime to escape from the battle! When he learned that the rout troops under Wufengling had mutinied collectively, he immediately ordered that those who fled would be punished as collaborators with the enemy, and there would be no forgiveness for killing!
The cavalry flaunted their might, trampling in the unarmed and armed, slashing and picking guns, like chopping vegetables and melons. Wherever the war horse passed, blood was splashed on the horse's hooves, and he was lucky enough to avoid the rout of the swords and guns, and was knocked down by the war horse, and was instantly trampled into flesh by the iron hooves, and the road that was originally covered with snow turned purple with sauce.
And the infantry phalanx in the west, wielding a row of knives, also began to squeeze eastward, killing the routs gathered in front of the phalanx, and in front of the phalanx, the flashing sword light soon turned red. In less than half an hour, most of the steel knives of the two hundred swordsmen in the front row of the phalanx had already curled their blades, and the blades were sluggish, slashing at the human body, like jagged teeth, deep into the flesh, but they could not be killed, and the knifemen had to twist the handle, like a blunt knife cutting meat, and the rolled blades writhed in the flesh, making a chilling sound of boning, and the rout of the knife let out a hoarse scream, like a little ghost in the eighteenth layer of purgatory!
Cui Shuquan heard the scream, his whole body ached, as if the steel knife was on his body, and he was so frightened that he closed his eyes and didn't dare to look.
Chao Yongzhi said: "The surname is Cui, together with this time, the eldest brother saved your life for the third time!" Otherwise, you will now be like those routs, deboned and disemboweled! ”
"Yes, yes! Big brother, little brother's life, is the big brother's! Cui Shuquan replied repeatedly, and he no longer dared to put on the shelf of his son.
Baye Gu said angrily: "Ge Shuhan killed these unarmed defeated soldiers, what kind of heroes are he! There's a kind of going to fight against An Lushan! ”
"Those who are soldiers and flee from the battle should correct the law on the spot! Unarmed, that's also because they threw away their weapons and did it themselves! Chao didn't think so.
"That's not right! These days, the martial arts were originally all children of Chang'an, and like this useless Cui Shuquan, they were all fucking ordinary people, and they were all fart soldiers! ”
"Wearing armor is a soldier!"
Cui Shuquan saw that Bayegu and Chao Yongzhi were arguing, and hurriedly played a round: "What the two elder brothers said is right, both are right, don't quarrel, let's listen to what the eldest brother says, eldest brother, you talk about it." Should these routs be killed? ”
Bu Yunfei really didn't want to watch this bloody killing, so he closed his eyes and said, "If you should kill, the first one who should be killed is you!" ”
"Yes, yes, the eldest brother said, you shouldn't kill it." Cui Shuquan hurriedly agreed.
"The Tianwu army has lost twelve battles in a row, from Luoyang all the way to Tongguan, and now it is going to be defeated back to Chang'an. If they shouldn't have been killed, wouldn't they not only be without fault, but also meritorious! Bu Yunfei shook his head and said.
"That's the one to be killed!" Cui Shuquan hurriedly said, but after thinking about it, it was wrong: "Big brother, what do you mean, should you kill or not?" ”
Bu Yunfei opened his eyes, glanced at the killing at the foot of the mountain, closed his eyes again, and let out a soft sigh.
What Yun Fei couldn't bear to witness was not the brutality of the killing, but the sheep-like cowardice of the killed!
The defeated army had only 500 cavalry and 1,000 infantry, and the defeated army was 5,000 people. Even if they are unarmed, as long as they fight and fight with their lives, where can the 1,500 soldiers and horses be so calmly killed. However, these routed soldiers were facing the slaughter of the Jedi, but they were so nested that everyone was either scurrying around like headless flies, or they were waiting to be slaughtered, and they couldn't even scream out about their death!
Chao Yongzhi said coldly: "Until now, even the emperor can't save them!" ”
Bu Yunfei's heart moved, and he suddenly understood a truth.
The people are not afraid of death!
What they are afraid of is that there is no emperor!
For thousands of years, the people under the rule of imperial power, the idea of imperial power has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow! In this world, ordinary people are as cheap as ants, and anyone can easily take their lives! The people have long recognized the lowliness of life, and their only sense of security comes from an emperor!
The emperor means order, even if such order is not fair, but order is better than nothing!
In fact, the emperor of China is very good, and the people's requirements are not high! He just needs to provide an order for the people, even if it is extremely unjust!
In this order, the princes and nobles could enjoy all the privileges they wanted, as long as they left a mouthful of food for the people!
In the past, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was the order in the hearts of the people. Even if he was unbridled and exploited, the people would admit it!
However, the situation is different now!
An Lushan was reversed, the eastern capital Luoyang was lost, and the Tang Emperor shrank in a corner of Guanzhong, discredited!
The cowardice of the people is actually the collapse of the order on which they live!
They no longer believe that the Tang Emperor will guard this order for them, in other words, they no longer believe in the legitimacy of the Tang Emperor!
In the eyes of the people, An Lushan is going to destroy the order established by the Tang Emperor, so these people who survive under the order of the Tang Emperor will lose their last support!
From this point of view, the Tang Emperor has lost the hearts of the people!
If someone raises his arms and promises to give the people a new order, then these lamb-like people will follow him and become a pack of tigers and wolves!
This person is definitely not An Lushan!
Who could he be?
Bu Yunfei thought of Yan Gaoqing, this venerable Taishou, who once established an order in Changshan!
Bu Yunfei believes that the order established by Yan Gaoqing is hundreds of times better than the order of the Tang Emperor!
In this order, people can obtain the greatest sense of security and happiness they can imagine.
If he lives, the people will swear to be with him! If he wants, he will definitely be able to push the order of Changshan to the four seas and build a new empire!
However, he is dead!
What's even more tragic is that he is still accused of being a traitor and is spurned by the world!
At the foot of the mountain, the wails of the rout gradually subsided, and a slaughter came to an end.
Cavalry and infantry, armed with blood-soaked blades, searched for the remnants in the piles of corpses, mending their swords on the spot.
Escaping from the foot of Wufeng Ridge, Bu Yunfei expected that Ge Shuhan would not let go of this group of routs, but he didn't expect that Ge Shuhan would be so fierce.
He also thought that the rebel soldiers were in Tongguan, and it was the time to use people, and Ge Shuhan would kill a few leaders at most to deter the army, and these 5,000 routs could still be used after all.
Where did you think that the 5,000 routed soldiers were all killed on the spot, and no one was left.
Only now did Bu Yunfei understand that Ge Shuhan was so ruthless, but it was a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Killing these 5,000 useless rout soldiers can eliminate the unstable factors in Tongguan. And more importantly, he wants to use the blood of these 5,000 defeated soldiers to shock the Anxi army that does not obey orders, and at the same time, let those living Tianwu soldiers know what military law is!
The Anxi Army is the key to Tongguan!
Geshuhan is going to annex the Anxi Army in one fell swoop! Let the officers and men of the Anxi Army recognize the situation and obey him absolutely!
However, Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi are still in Tongguan, and it is not easy to subdue the Anxi army.
Ge Shuhan was sick and wasted, and if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in Tongguan, kill 5,000 defeated soldiers, and deter the always arrogant Anxi army, this was the best way he could think of.
Although Ge Shuhan was ferocious, his decisiveness still gave way to Yunfei and was amazed.
Bayegu asked, "Big brother, where are we going now?" ”
"Don't go anywhere, just sit here!"
"Here?" Bano Gu was puzzled.
Chao Yongzhi looked around and said: "Yes, only here is the safest now, after this rout, Ge Shuhan will definitely order strict checks at the checkpoints along the way, and all the soldiers who desert from Tongguan will be killed on the spot once they are caught." At the same time, he will order the Tongguan army and horses to strengthen their vigilance and hunt down the fleeing rout. We are not familiar with the terrain here, and if we act rashly, we are likely to run into the military horses of Soushan. ”
"How long are you going to sit there?" Bano Gu was very helpless.
"Let's talk about it when it's dark." Bu Yunfei stretched his waist: "Cui Shuquan!" ”
"Little brother is here!" Cui Shuquan's teeth were still shaking.
"With dice?"
"Big brother wants to play two?" Cui Shuquan's eyes lit up. The Cui family is worthy of being a Bosch family, and as soon as they heard the word dice, they immediately forgot the fright just now.
"Take it out!"
Cui Shuquan hurriedly took out a bag from his pocket, took out five dice from it, but it was polished from red, yellow, white, black and green jade, and took out a cowhide plate from the bag and spread it on the snow, and the plate was painted with Lu, pheasant, calf, and white, which was very exquisite.
Chao Yongzhi's eyes widened: "Cui Shuquan, with your set of dice, how much bet do you have to make!" ”
Cui Shuquan's dice, is five different colors of jade, good color, each of them is the best in the jade, even if it is a color of white jade, it is also valuable, and this pair of five-color dice, is selected Hetian white jade, Liaodong green jade, blue sky black jade, Mobei red jade, Xiushan topaz five famous jade, polished, each of which is the best in jade, is extremely rare. The number of each dice is inlaid in gold, which is a veritable gold inlaid jade, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite, and it is by no means from the hands of ordinary folk craftsmen.
Cui Shu has a comprehensive color: "Don't hide it from the three elder brothers, this pair of dice is the treasure of the town left by my grandfather." Back then, my grandfather was in Fangzhou, taking care of Emperor Zhongzong, and after Emperor Zhongzong came to the court, he ordered the skilled craftsmen in the palace to take the world's five-color jade and make this pair of dice, and gave it to my grandfather. With this set of dice, you can bet on pleasure and the world! ”
"Just blow it!" Ba Yegu couldn't understand jade, he only looked at the flowers, which was very eye-catching.
Bu Yunfei picked up the dice and checked it, the five-colored jade was in his hand, heavy, warm and smooth: "Okay, let's bet on the world today!" ”
