Chapter 50: Compassion, Zhang Liang kills himself
"It's over, General Rengong has been tricked. This siege of Huangfu Song is just a bait, the siege is fake, and it is true to seek our army outside the city. At the head of the city, Zhang Niujiao looked at the Badao battalion that was rushing towards Zhang Liangjun, and muttered to himself with a disgraced face.
"Father-in-law, let the child lead the army out of the city to rescue the general. If you continue like this, you will definitely die. Zhang Yan also noticed the critical situation of Zhang Liangjun outside the city, and asked Zhang Niujiao for his life.
How can it be too late to go out of the city to rescue now, Zhang Niujiao looked at those murderous soldiers of the sword battalion and said secretly. In his opinion, it was difficult for Zhang Liangjun to resist even a moment in the face of the impact of the god-killing army in the rear, and let Zhang Yan go out, but let him die.
"Father-in-law!" Seeing that Zhang Niujiao did not react, Zhang Yan shouted again.
"Yan'er, there's no way I'll let you go out and die. Don't you see what is going on outside the city? Not to mention that now we have to deal with the siege of the Han army, even if you can get out, what can we do? In the face of those 10,000 iron cavalry, even if I give 100,000 soldiers and horses, it is unknown whether I can stop them. Relying on the city wall, we can still hold on, if we go out of the city and fall in an instant, ah......" After speaking, Zhang Niujiao's decadent color was fully revealed, he was already a veteran, and he looked even older at the moment.
"Damn!" Zhang Yan also knew that going out would be ten deaths, and at this time, he was broken by Zhang Niujiao, and his heart was even more powerless, so he could only slap the battlements on the city head to vent.
Because of the appearance of the Badao Battalion, some of the warring parties are naturally happy and some are sad. But none of this has anything to do with Sun Ling, what he wants to do now is to lead the sword battalion to crush Zhang Liangjun in front of him.
drove the white dragon horse under his crotch and picked up a few soldiers who intended to resist him. "Kill!" With Sun Ling's thunderous roar, 10,000 iron horsemen rushed towards the Yellow Turban enemy formation.
When the Yellow Turban soldiers on the periphery collided with the collision of these 10,000 iron horsemen, only this word can be properly described.
Break through, break through, break through again, Sun Ling, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei charged forward, leading the soldiers of the Badao Battalion to chisel through the array behind the 50,000 yellow turbans to the front of the Han army.
"The rear army will turn to the front army, continue to kill me!" Le Ma turned around and blocked in front of the Han army who was originally fighting with the Yellow Turban soldiers, Sun Ling rode his horse from the new to the front of the formation, and obliquely held the spear in his hand to kill the Yellow Turban soldiers who had just closed the formation!
Looking at the army in front of him, almost everyone had the blood of the enemy on their armor and weapons. The soldiers of the Han Dynasty behind him were stunned, and the words "invincible" seemed to have been born for this army.
This is the God Killer, this is the God Killing Army? In the Yellow Turban Formation that had just been closed, Zhang Liang suppressed the fear in his heart, clutched the weapon in his hand, looked at the blood-covered army in front of him, like a bloodthirsty Shura, and the man who was like a demon god in front of the formation, and suddenly remembered the titles given to them by those Yellow Turban soldiers, these two titles are so appropriate.
"Stop them, if you can't stop us, we'll all die!" Staring at his blood-red eyes, Zhang Liang roared in the middle of the formation. Because this voice was shouted with almost all his strength, Zhang Liang's neck was bruised at this time, and his face and eyes were hideous like a trapped beast.
Obstruct? What are you holding on? Zhang Liang's roar attracted Sun Ling's disdainful ridicule in his heart. Dragging the spear in his hand to the ground, Sun Ling nodded to Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, who were following closely beside him.
The three men who sprinted in front of them grabbed the reins and stopped their horses urgently, and the three war horses stood up in front of several Yellow Turban soldiers. Just as the Yellow Turban soldiers were about to stab their weapons out, three rays of light flew towards their bodies. Shattered, the Yellow Turban soldiers in front of them did not even leave a single intact corpse. The two white and one green shrouded qi continued to slash towards the bodies of those soldiers who were resisting in front of them, and it was not completely dissipated until five zhang later.
Looking at the stump fragments within five zhang in front of him, Sun Ling frowned, forcibly held back the discomfort in his heart, and led Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and the soldiers of the Badao Battalion behind him to continue to charge towards the yellow scarf in the middle.
However, this charge did not go as smoothly as expected, the Yellow Turban soldiers were afraid, they were afraid of the sword battalion in front of them, but they were even more afraid of death. The desire to survive prompted the soldiers to pile up layers of shields in front of the heavily armored cavalry, and behind the shields there were more soldiers gritting their teeth to withstand the charge.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
One by one, the soldiers of the sword battalion returned in vain in this thick shield wall, but fortunately, the people behind them stopped their horses in a hurry, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
"Kill!" Just when Sun Ling was about to divide his troops and charge from the left and right flanks. Xu Huang led the Han soldiers to arrive and fought from the left side.
"Resist, as long as you hold on for a little longer, someone in the city will come out with troops to relieve the siege!" Just blocked a wave of charges from the Badao Battalion, Zhang Liang was frightened by the Han army led by Xu Huang before he could rejoice, and hurriedly shouted out these words that he didn't even believe, intending to stabilize the soldiers.
With this opportunity created by Xu Huang, Sun Ling would be really stupid if he didn't take advantage of it. "Zilong, Dian Wei follows me. Badao Battalion pay attention to seize the opportunity! After saying that, Sun Ling gave up his war horse and shot at the shield wall in front of him with a gun, followed by Zhao Yun and Dian Wei.
"Give it to me...... Break! Holding the fine iron spear aloft, Sun Ling poured the shield qi into the spear and threw it at the shield wall in front of him.
"Boom ......" Qingmang pierced the shield in front of him with a spear, and a series of bodies of several Yellow Turban soldiers behind the shield wall flew out, and the powerful impact instantly knocked the Yellow Turban soldiers behind the shield wall to the ground, and the gap opened wide for a while.
The opportunity created by Sun Ling, as top generals, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei naturally would not let go, two white rays flashed, and the sharp cover qi cut through the obstacles in front of them, and the shield wall collapsed. Dian Wei and Zhao Yun stood in place with weapons in their hands and panting because of the transition of the use of the hood. Compared with the two, Sun Ling was not much better, and he was also out of breath at this time, but fortunately, he finally broke the shield array.
"Crush them!" Without Sun Ling giving another order, the captains in front of the formation seized the opportunity to rush towards the Yellow Turban with the iron horse.
After a pause, the three of them continued to get on their horses and launched a new charge, at this moment Zhang Liangjun could stand less than 10,000 people, including a lot of disabled people. Charging again, Sun Ling bent down and lifted the fine iron spear, shook off a few corpses strung together on the gun, and looked at the Yellow Turban soldiers in front of him, who were only a few thousand disabled soldiers left, but were still struggling to support them, and finally felt compassion in his heart.
On the one hand, they have to face the elite soldiers of the Han army led by Xu Huang, and on the other hand, they have to face those god-killing iron horses, in fact, at this moment, these remnants of the Yellow Turban soldiers only need another wave of attacks, and they will fall down at the slightest touch, but the idea of survival and Zhang Liang's lies are supporting them not to fall easily.
"Stop it all!"
With Sun Ling's roar, the soldiers of the Badao Battalion who were about to charge again stopped, and the Han soldiers looked at Sun Ling hesitantly, and then looked at the Yellow Turban soldiers who would fall at any time in front of them, and finally withdrew from the battle circle, waiting for Sun Ling's words.
"Zhang Liang, I'll give you a choice now. If you are willing to apologize for your sins, I will spare these soldiers who have worked so hard to support them. You and I both know very well that in the current situation, there is no chance that Guangzong City will come out to rescue you. Pointing to the disabled Yellow Turban soldiers, Sun Ling said to Zhang Liang, who was surrounded by the guards.
Looking bitterly at the soldiers around him who had not yet fallen, Zhang Liang knew that this was the opportunity given to them by Sun Ling, but it was impossible for him to have this kind of opportunity, Sun Ling understood this, and he also understood.
"I thank the general for these remnants of the soldiers, I know what my end will be. But before you die, can you tell me something? Zhang Liang said to Sun Ling with a miserable smile.
"Just ask." In Sun Ling's opinion, Zhang Liang, who came to an end at the moment, but did not lose his heart and dragged these soldiers to accompany him to the funeral, is also worthy of his respect.
"Hundreds of people have no income because of disasters for many years, but the imperial court ignores it, and the taxes are still the same. The people can't survive, is it wrong for us to revolt and overthrow this unscrupulous court? Why would someone like you be loyal to such a court? At this time, Zhang Liang no longer had the fear of dying, and some were just the enthusiasm that he founded Taiping Dao with his brother.
Maybe Zhang Jiao's uprising was ambitious, but Zhang Liang's original intention in front of him was definitely not so. Looking at Zhang Liang, who was acting like a hot-blooded young man in later generations at this moment, Sun Ling affirmed in his heart.
"You want to create a good life for the people, and there is nothing wrong with that idea in itself. But have you ever thought about how many innocent people have died at the hands of the Yellow Turbans since your uprising, and how many people have been displaced and separated from their wives because of the Yellow Turbans? Hmph, rebels? Burning, killing, plundering, and doing all kinds of evil, such an army is also worthy of being called a righteous army? As for me. Just for myself, for my family, and for the innocent people who are suffering. Are you satisfied? ”
"Got it, I got it...... It's ridiculous, if you knew this from the beginning, why not. Thank you, General, for your advice! I'll ...... too" After listening to Sun Ling's words, Zhang Liang smiled self-deprecatingly. He bowed to Sun Ling, drew the saber at his waist and slashed it around his neck.
"General, general......" The only remaining soldier called out mournfully to the dead Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang may not be a good person to the people, but as the allegiance of these Yellow Turban soldiers and personal soldiers, Zhang Liang is a qualified general.
Looking at Zhang Liang, who was already staring at the dead with his eyes, Sun Ling couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time. He didn't tell Zhang Liang the real reason, even if the Yellow Turban didn't do all kinds of evil, the clan would not be able to let their gang of mud legs succeed, this is the real reason. It's just that Sun Ling felt that this reason was too cruel for him, and he couldn't bear to say it to him who was about to die.
Stopping Dian Wei, who was about to step forward to cut off Zhang Liang's head, Sun Ling said: "Although this person is the head of a thief, he is also admirable as a general, don't desecrate the dead, bury it." ”
After Zhang Liang's body was buried, the remaining 5,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were temporarily placed. Sun Ling set his sights on Guangzong City, the war on his side was over, and the war was still raging over there
