Chapter 1041: Kill the deserters
Yang Wanchun opened his mouth wide in surprise, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe this fact, he couldn't even accept it, he shook his head while his body was trembling slightly: "No, it's impossible, Uncle Cheng Zhe won't die, he's experienced in a hundred battles, he, he's strong in martial arts, he won't die, he won't!" ”
Many of Yang Wanchun's introductory martial arts since childhood were taught by Yang Chengzhe, and he had great respect for this old manager, and it was difficult to accept the fact that he died in battle for a while, and in the end he almost cried and screamed.
Yang Qianshou's eyes were also faintly filled with tears, he had been in love with Yang Chengzhe's master and servant for many years, and he had already been in love with each other, when he first learned the news, it was almost the same as Yang Wanchun's reaction now, he was ruthless, calmed down, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Herald, tell me about the battle situation in detail." ”
The herald said calmly: "The Sui army is cunning and sent elite soldiers to cut off the troops, but these people are pretending to be harvesting the heads of our soldiers who died in battle, General Yang saw that there was an opportunity, so he ordered the whole army to assault, but these Sui troops were all ironclad elites, in the place where our cavalry rushed to fifty paces, the soldiers in the front row shot a large number of crossbow arrows in three rows, and for a time the entire group of cavalry (more than a hundred people) in the front of our army all fell to the ground, and the horses affected the impact speed of the rear army, General Yang personally commanded, and rushed three times, After paying three or four hundred casualties, he finally rushed to the front of the Sui army, but the speed could not get up, so it turned into a battle with the Sui army. ”
The generals of Goguryeo sighed after hearing this, and they all commented that if they could not directly attack on the narrow terrain of this riverbank, the cavalry would have no advantage at all. Hand-to-hand combat with unarmored cavalry and infantry in formation. It's a short hit long. There was no hope of winning, I thought that Yang Chengzhe was a veteran of a hundred battles, but he still looked hot-headed after being red-eyed and suffered a big loss.
Yang Wanchun gritted his teeth and said: "No, General Yang is not a brave and unscrupulous person, if he really can't attack it, he will never fight to the death there, but will evacuate." How the hell he was wiped out, tell me quickly. ”
The herald sighed and continued: "The Sui army was treacherous, after attacking the Liuzhai master's stockade, it divided a force and quietly went around to the 14th branch of the village in the south, cutting off General Yang's rear road, and when General Yang attacked in front and could not break through the Sui army's defensive line, this army quietly killed from behind. The two sides flanked, and the Sui army on the pontoon bridge also released arrows to support. In three combined strikes, our army's horse team was squeezed into a ball, unable to rush out at all, and was killed and wounded by the enemy's bows and arrows and hard crossbows, and almost all of them were killed. ”
"General Yang finally took more than 20 personal guards to kill a bloody road from the front, but was intercepted by a member of the Sui army with a cyan tire on his face, the Sui army made a long-handled axe, skilled in martial arts, and infinitely powerful, General Yang rushed to kill for a long time, and was exhausted, and finally was cut down by this person with an axe after more than 50 moves, and was cut into two parts."
Yang Qianshou's hand had been tightly clenched into a fist, his body was trembling slightly, and his voice revealed a bit of murderous aura: "Where is Liu Chengmin, the owner of the thirteenth branch of the left camp?" ”
A law enforcement officer standing beside Yang Qianshou said in a loud voice: "Liu Chengmin saw that after General Yang Chengzhe was defeated in front of him, he abandoned the camp without an order, and fled back on horseback with more than 300 soldiers. ”
Yang Qianshou slapped the handsome case suddenly, and said sharply: "What crime should I be guilty of retreating from the battle, abandoning friendly troops, and abandoning the camp?" ”
The black-faced and bearded law enforcement officer said loudly: "According to military law, you should be beheaded!" ”
Yang Qianshou took out an arrow from the handsome case, threw it heavily on the ground, and said sharply: "Order, behead Liu Chengmin in half, and all the sergeants who have fled will be beheaded." ”
Yang Wanchun was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "Father, please think twice, now that our army is insufficient, it is the time to employ people, Liu Chengmin is also a famous warrior of the Liaodong Army, it is not easy to fight out of the encirclement, please let him wear the guilt and make meritorious service!" ”
Yang Qianshou said coldly: "If everyone can make meritorious contributions, then what else do you need to do in military discipline?" The thirteen villages of the left camp were broken, the Sui army Wang Rengong and Xue Shixiong also took the opportunity to cross the river successfully, and now outside the sixth village on the left, all fell into the hands of the enemy, our army yesterday still has more than 40 camps on the west bank of the Liao River, overnight, only left the left six and right seven plus the fourteen villages of the big camp, the Sui army is still crossing the river in a steady stream, at this time, if you can't deal with the generals who escaped from the battle, how can you be worthy of those who fought to the end of the village owners and soldiers? And how to deal with the next battle to the death? ”
Yang Qianshou's eyes were cold and murderous, sweeping over the faces of the school owners on the left and right columns, stabbing these people one by one lowered their heads, not daring to look directly, only listening to Yang Qianshou's impassioned voice, but revealing a murderous aura: "Everyone, we abandoned our wives and children, led the whole city, Ding Zhuang of the whole village, came here to resist aggression and serve the country." ”
"Now the war is not effective, the victory or defeat of our army, the safety of the whole army, I Yang Qianshou swore that there is no advance or retreat, we must hold on until our army retreats to a safe range before considering leaving, the next three days, our army must defend the villages, keep this back road, if there are any more abandoned villages and flee, afraid of the enemy like a tiger, Liu Chengmin and his subordinates, is the end! If the Sui army doesn't kill you, I, Yang Qianshou, will turn my face and don't recognize people! ”
While speaking, an executioner with a half-naked body and a fleshy face walked onto the handsome platform with a bloody head, and everyone saw that it was not Liu Chengmin, the owner of the 13th village of the left army? This person is Yang Qianshou's son-in-law, and he is also famous for his courage in Liaodong, once he escaped, he was actually killed by Yang Qianshou with an iron face, which made the generals who originally started to fight Xiao Jiujiu and wanted to escape secretly dare not take a breath, and they were silent one by one, without saying a word.
Yang Qianshou stood up, pulled out the Goguryeo King saber that Yuan Taizuo gave him, and said sharply: "I, Yang Qianshou, swear to the king here that as long as I have a breath, I will definitely defend the riverbank ferry and never retreat!" ”
At the gate of the thirteenth branch of the left camp, Wang Shichong looked up at the head of Yang Chengzhe, who was hanging high with a white face and a slight beard, and sighed: "This person can be regarded as a loyal martyr, although he is an enemy, he is also worthy of admiration. ”
Fei Qingnu, who was standing beside him, was grinning widely, but after hearing this, he said curiously: "General Wang, why do you want to do this? The Goguryeo people returned the corpses of our General Mai and they still had to collect money, and the corpses of the brothers were directly cut off to repay the merits, and we should also treat them equally.
