Chapter 262: The Battle of Life and Death (Part II)

"My lord, the line of defense has collapsed, let's retreat. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Mu Chunli's guards loudly persuaded Mu Chunli to leave the battlefield, and Mu Chunli pushed him away.

"Let's go, this official will stay here and shed the last drop of blood for the Sky Wolf Empire. Bring the officer's horse here. ”

"Your Excellency!"

"Don't be wordy, say one more word, and the official will kill you."

Mu Chunli held the full moon golden wolf flag, turned over and ran towards the battlefield.

"Warriors, draw close to me and fight to the death!"

The scattered and fleeing Sky Wolf Riders approached the Full Moon Golden Wolf Banner one after another, and actually gathered about 3,000 people, and Mu Chunli did not talk nonsense and rushed to the battlefield first. As soon as the Heavenly Wolf Riders and their subordinates scattered all over the battlefield saw the arrival of the Full Moon Golden Wolf Banner, they immediately became frantic and desperately moved closer to Mu Chunli.

"Shoot him, he's Mu Chunli."

Huang Shenghan did not have a good impression of anyone in the Rong Division, although Mu Chunli's behavior could be praised for his bravery, but this did not arouse Huang Shenghan's admiration at all, so he did not give Mu Chunli a chance to fight fairly.

Whizzing, 10,000 arrows at the same time. Mu Chunli, who was urging the horse to gallop and loudly motivate his subordinates, seemed to be suddenly covered with his mouth, and the crossbow arrows shot from all directions continued to pierce his body and face one after another, and even the war horse under his crotch was not spared. The strong force pushed Mu Chunli and his war horse back more than ten steps before they fell to the ground with a thud. Most of the wolf riders who had just gathered were killed or wounded in this rain of arrows, and the rest of the men and horses were killed one by one by the cavalry who came after.

The noisy battlefield gradually calmed down, and it took only three hours from the beginning of the attack to the end of the battle. Mu Chunli and his 80,000 Heavenly Wolf Riders and his subordinates did not escape, and the corpses of 80,000 people covered a large area of land.

Gao Lang, Zhuang Dafu and Huang Shenghan triumphantly joined forces on the battlefield, and the three generals were also blood-stained robes, but they were all enemies. The three of them briefly discussed, and were about to set off immediately when they joined forces, but were stopped by a school captain.

"Qiqi three generals, we found that these soldiers and civilians of the Rong Department all have a lot of property on them, some of them are covered with the jade seal of Emperor Dayan, and there are many books, calligraphy and paintings in addition to property, how should the three generals deal with it?"

Gao Lang took a picture scroll handed over by the lieutenant, opened it and couldn't help but be shocked.

"The prosperity of the country! This is painted by Emperor Shengzuren himself, and there are also inscriptions and famous seals of Yan King Long Xingyuan, this is the treasure of the Great Yan Emperor, this is a national treasure, how can it appear here? ”

Zhuang Dafu: "It must be that when the Erdunke family is leaving, he will take away all the palace treasures, and now he will give them to these people in the palace as a reward." This is the essence of Dayan for a hundred years, and Erdunke is really damned, damned. ”

Huang Shenghan: "I don't think it's as good as this, leaving the infantry to clean the battlefield carefully, how much can be saved." These things are too precious. General Gao, you must stay here to supervise, General Zhuang and I will chase and kill Erdunke. ”

"Okay, take the Bozhou cavalry with you, and then I'll let the artillery chase you, don't let go of that wolf cub in Erdunke."

"Good!"

Huang Shenghan and Zhuang Dafu led 150,000 cavalry to gallop away, and a team of 10,000 people appeared every fifty miles along the way to stop them, but in front of the 150,000 iron cavalry, they were wiped out without even a fight. The 150,000-strong army passed through five such obstacles and accelerated its advance. However, the 50,000 troops were not useless, and they delayed the army of Huang Shenghan and Zhuang Dafu for a while, giving Erdunke a chance to escape.

By the time it was nearly noon that he and his men were sleepy. The speed was much faster after the light equipment, and the men also abandoned the bulky vehicles and switched to horseback riding. But after running for such a long time, even if the person is not tired, the horse can't stand it. On this road, there have been a lot of horses that were so tired that they foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground, and the wolf riders and the tribes who lost their horses had to ride two horses, and the horses were close to the warriors at this time, and the tribes without horses had to move forward on foot, and for a time there were constant cries and shouts along the road.

When Huang Shenghan and Zhuang Dafu caught up, those subordinates lay down on the side of the road in despair and waited for death, or fell to their knees and surrendered. But when they saw the murderous soldiers of the Flying Tiger Legion, and rode away without even looking at them, the men all collapsed on the side of the road and wept, knowing that a tragic fate awaited them. Now they regret leaving the grassland, regretting that they have been too ruthless to the people of the Central Plains who they call the Wooden Tower (slaves), and now it is their turn to accept the punishment. Many of the people were desperate and untied their belts and hung themselves on the trees, many of them crashed directly into the trees and their brains burst, leaving some women and children sitting on the ground and crying bitterly.

This tragic scene attracted the attention of the artillery units that arrived later, and some soft-hearted recruits couldn't help but untie their bags of dry food and wanted to throw them over, but they were slapped on the neck by the captain.

"You pity them, don't you? Do you know how many people in the Central Plains died at their hands? Have you ever seen them use our fathers and fellow villagers as meat shields? Tell you that the wolf is not worthy of pity, and the only way to deal with it when you see a wolf is to slaughter it immediately. We didn't kill these people right away, which is already merciful. Bring your dry food, the food given to you by the villagers is to give you the strength to kill the wolf cubs, not for you to feed the wolves. ”

The lieutenant's words made the recruits, who had already untied the bags of dry food, put the bags on their backs again, and the recruits returned to their positions and pushed the gun cart hard. The lieutenant's words are not bad at all, the recruits have seen how the Rong Lu treats the people of the Central Plains, and the people of the Central Plains who fall into the hands of the Rong Lu can't even compare to a sheep. Rong Lu took care of the sheep carefully, and only used scimitars, leather whips and wanton ravages to treat the people of the Central Plains. The recruits had seen the masses of people in the Central Plains who had starved to death, and the corpses of the children who died in their mother's arms, and at this moment the hatred in the hearts of the recruits replaced sympathy. None of the recruits had the slightest sympathy for these abandoned soldiers, and the lieutenant was right that it would be merciful enough not to kill them.

The team of Erdunke fell behind all the way, and the miles and miles stretched for hundreds of miles. When Erdunke had already seen the Yanmen Pass, the team behind him was only about 30,000 people. Hua Gai Shu and Sikong Fu had already come to meet them, and they quickly retreated into Yanmen Pass after receiving Erdunke. However, the south gate of Yanmen Pass was still open, gathering the Heavenly Wolf Riders and his subordinates who followed. When the tiger battle flag rose on the horizon and the rumbling horses' hooves were heard, Sikong Fu gave an order to close the city gate, and the wolf riders and his subordinates who were still running towards the city gate cried and begged for Sikong Fu to give them a way to live, but they were answered by wolf tooth arrows.

Huang Shenghan and Zhuang Dafu chased to a place five miles away from Yanmen Pass and stopped, Huang Shenghan looked at the closed door and scolded.

"Erdunke's guy is running quite fast, and the great work in hand is gone, which is really infuriating."

"Sheng Han Mo is annoyed, now that the outside of Yanmen Pass has been blocked by Deyi and Qimeng, they can't escape. The order was given, and the whole army besieged Yanmen Pass. Ben will have to see how long Erdonk can hold out. ”

It was temporarily safe for Erdunke to enter Yanmen Pass, but problems also followed. Erdunke originally brought a lot of supplies, but he threw away a lot of them along the way. Now the original troops in Yanmen Pass, plus the total number of men and horses brought by Erdunke, exceeded 500,000. The daily consumption of grain and grass is not a small amount, if the defense line of the Flying Tiger Legion is not broken through in time, Erdunke will be trapped in Yanmen Pass sooner or later. For this reason, Erdunke, who didn't care about eating and drinking, immediately called Hua Gai Shu and Sikong Fu to the front to discuss.

"Your Majesty, what else is there to discuss, only a desperate battle. No matter how many troops are used, as long as we break through the defense line of the Zhenbei Army and the Siege Army, we will be safe, and if there are many people killed in the battle, we can save food, grass and materials. ”

Hua Gai Shu's words are very direct and realistic. Although Erdunke and Sikong Fu didn't like to hear it, they knew that Hua Gai Shu was telling the truth. So Erdunke ordered Hua Gai Shu to command 300,000 people to attack the defense line of the Zhenbei Army, and Sikong Fu led 100,000 people to hold the gates of Yanmen Pass. 500,000 men, women and men, were all given weapons and all took part in the fighting. At this time, I can't care about anything else, and if I don't work hard, I'll die, so I don't need to mobilize. All the soldiers and civilians of the Rong Department in Yanmen Pass have received weapons, at least a scimitar, and even a half-grown child has a dagger to defend himself, which has really become a war between the army and the people.

On the high ground outside the south gate of Yanmen Pass, Yan Chengyu, Ximen Qing, Gao Lang, Huang Shenghan and Zhuang Dafu gather here. Yan Chengyu put down the clairvoyance in his hand and said: "The trapped beast is still fighting, facing life and death, Erdun Ke will definitely be ferocious, and the pressure on Deyi and Qimeng is not small. The focus of the captive attack will be on them, and the forces are still weaker. At the west gate, 50,000 troops from the Youzhou Army and the Northwest Army were each transferred to help, and it was necessary to hold the defensive line. We also have to intensify the siege here, this is a battle of life and death, there is no need to tempt, the whole army immediately buries the pot to cook, and launches an attack half an hour after the meal. Use heavy artillery to blow up the south gate of Yanmen Pass to Ben Shuai, and bombard the enemy troops in the pass with field artillery to a high place, anyway, there are no our people in the pass, and bomb Ben Shuai fiercely, and our soldiers will be killed and injured less. ”

"Yes. Yan Shuai, now that His Majesty has surrounded Yuanyuan, General Ling Wuwu's Northwest Army is attacking the troops of the White Wolf Khan Bayintu to the west. The most tragic is the Heavenly Wolf City, there are still some ways to defend the city if the Jimut field battle is not good, Guan Changyun has attacked for so long and still has not attacked the Heavenly Wolf City. Could it be that the walls of Sky Wolf City are so hard that even the fortified artillery can't blow them up? ”

"No, that was done deliberately by Xiao Meng, he kept Jimut as a bait, that is, to lure Su Meiduo and Wu Qimai to desperately rescue Sky Wolf City. In this way, a large number of the elite of the Rong captives will be consumed under the Hongjila Pass and the Urakan defense line. There are only a few people in total, and after this big battle, it can be regarded as a broken muscle, and a sharp decline in strength is a foregone conclusion. At this time, it depends on who can hold on to the end, and the pressure on Xiao Meng is not small. But don't worry, the Flying Tiger Army, the Iron Arm Army, and the Leopard Cavalry Army are all units that Hui'er started, and their combat power and combat awareness are not comparable to those of the Rong. plus 2,000 cadets from the Military Academy, that's 2,000 captains, how many soldiers can you bring. There are also no regrets to guarantee logistics, so don't worry about them. However, the situation here is dire, which is why Ben Shuai is in a hurry to attack the city. ”

"It's up to Yan Shuai's plan."

Ximen Qing and the generals turned around to arrange, and the generals saw Yan Chengyu wearing a battle robe and coming to the front line to command, and they were more confident in their hearts, and the assignment of tasks was even more clear-sighted. It didn't take long for the preparations to be ready. Yan Chengyu looked at the soldiers who were ready to go, and he felt a little distressed in his heart. I don't know how many people will die in this battle, but this battle must be fought, and it must be won, Yan Chengyu slowly pulled out his long knife and pointed at Yanmen Pass. (To be continued.) )
