Chapter XVII, Eve
When the leader finally escaped from the battle formation, Wang Cheng still felt palpitations, he was about to pat the horse and rush back, and the situation here had to be reported to Ping Zhou as soon as possible, when suddenly he heard an exclamation from the side, he couldn't help but look back, and his pupils shrank.
It turned out that the dozens of corpses they left behind were lifted up by the other party's people at this time, and each corpse was carried to two horses, and it happened to be rested on the backs of the two horses by two people.
Wang Cheng's eyes were staring at the other party's movements, he was confused in his heart, he didn't understand what the other party was going to do, but suddenly his eyes froze, not to mention him at this moment, the people around him were also staring at the front of the enemy's army.
I saw that there at this moment, a general with a length of eight feet and black armor was sitting on a horse, and the iconic mustache was particularly eye-catching, but what attracted Wang Cheng's attention more was his next move.
The spear was raised into the sky, and then the legs slammed into the horse's belly, and the horse neighed and ran, and on the way to run, the corpse of a vanguard army was thrown by two enemy knights, just in front of the general, only to see the general ride forward, the spear rushed, directly pierced the back of the corpse, and then picked up the corpse, and threw it aside.
"Good!" The generals behind him cheered, and the general was also complacent, and did not stop there, and continued to drive his horse forward, and then the second corpse was thrown out, still repeating the action just now, so that all the way over, more than a dozen corpses were picked and pierced by his spear and then thrown to the side of the road, and finally it seemed that the general was tired, so he finally stopped this "performance".
The army finally moved on, but it was not the end for the corpses that had been left behind, for the passing knights behind them were like no one else, allowing the hooves of their mounts to trample over the corpses, and ride after ride, until they were trampled to a bloody blur. At this moment, I am afraid that even the closest relatives will be difficult to identify here.
"Look for death!" Wang Cheng stared at this scene. almost gritted his teeth and said this, he couldn't bear it anymore, and as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up, and it seemed that he was going to rush directly to Zhang Yangjun's side when he raised his knife.
But soon his body was dragged by two or three people behind him, "Pioneer, if you can't be defeated, then retreat quickly, this is Wen Hou's order, Pioneer, have you forgotten?" ”
Wang Cheng said hatefully: "If you want to retreat, you will retreat yourself." If Lao Tzu doesn't shoot down the flamboyant military flag today, he will not come to the world to go this way! ”
"Vanguard, this is the enemy's trick, it is deliberately provoking us to lure us over, don't be fooled......" Another person on the other side hugged up, and he also grabbed Wang Cheng's other arm, although Wang Cheng's strength was great. But it was not big enough to break free from the full shackles of four of his subordinates at the same time, and with them to stop him, even if he hated it in his heart, he had no choice but to watch the enemy swagger and continue to move forward.
His lips were about to be bitten by him, but in the end, he could only shake his hand and say hatefully: "Let's go back...... Prepare for war - revenge and revenge! ”
……
"Are you guilty?"
Pingzhou County Ya, Lu Bu sat in the hall and looked at Wang Cheng, who was kneeling on one knee below. Come down.
"The subordinates don't know what the crime is. Should he have obeyed the order at that time and ignored the corpses of his soldiers? Wang Cheng still had some hatred in his tone when he thought of this. But he immediately realized who was talking to him now, and quickly lowered his head.
Lu Bu pointed at him and sneered: "You dare to be hard-mouthed, since you said so, why did you take the order to go in the first place, just say that you are cowardly, you shouldn't be this pioneer, let alone join the state army, just don't be a man......"
The more Wang Cheng listened, the more he didn't feel good, he craned his neck and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
Lu Bu's face turned indifferent, and his tone was also flat: "Originally, you were about to make a big mistake and lose the lives of dozens of soldiers, although it is very distressing, but if you didn't listen to the advice at that time and ran down, then you would lose a tiger general!" ”
Wang Cheng was both moved and sad, and said: "Wenhou, Cheng ......"
Lu Bu waved his hand and said: "Although in terms of results, you did not violate military regulations in the end, you did not die, and you successfully brought back most of the pioneers, but in the end, it is thanks to your four subordinates." Naturally, they will be rewarded, and you will be punished. As a commander-in-chief, it is understandable that you occasionally moderately do not stick to the general order during the external trial, but in that case, your choice may bring ruin to the entire vanguard army, which is of course not advisable. And now is wartime, if everyone is like you, ignoring a certain military order when the battle is about to go, and insisting on going its own way, then how can this battle be fought, who else will obey a certain general's order, and how will he lead the army? ”
Wang Cheng was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "That subordinate is guilty and willing to be punished." ”
"Oh, I don't know what your sin is?"
Lu Bu's sudden "change of face" made Wang Cheng somehow, but he still replied: "Subordinates should not disobey military orders, they should be carried away by anger, and as the main general when they are about to fight, they should always remain calm, although there is no serious consequence in the end, but it all depends on those four people, and the subordinates feel guilty." ”
"Okay," Lu Bu clapped his hands, "It's not terrible to make mistakes, it's terrible to make mistakes but not know them, let alone correct them." It's rare for you to know your mistakes, so I don't know if you can change them? ”
Wang Cheng lowered his head and said solemnly: "My subordinates know their mistakes and will never make them again in the future." ”
"I hope you do what you say......" Lu Bu glanced at him deeply, then waved his hand and said, "You go down first, go to General Gao and get twenty military sticks for yourself!" ”
Gao Shun also served as a military discipline officer in the current state army, specializing in correcting military discipline and punishing those who violated military regulations.
When Wang Cheng went down, Jia Xu said from the side: "It doesn't seem to be good, I'm afraid this publicity is exposing all the family background, but doesn't he take care of his rear?" ”
Lu Bu closed his eyes for a long time before he sighed and said, "He doesn't see that our intentions are not clear, but if he is like this, he is clearly making a desperate bet, he is gambling." Then he chuckled: "But I'm not gambling, it's just that I'm a small bet, and he's a big bet, if I lose this bet, at most I will lose some soldiers, but it won't hurt my muscles and bones, and if he loses, it will be a loss of the whole game, and there is no chance of turning the tables." ”
He still has a sentence to finish, if Zhang Yang wins the bet this time, then he will get more, and the impact on Lu Bu is by no means simple, more in the future, such as the Xiongnu in the north, Xianbei in the north, Yuan Shao in the east, and even the internal may be unstable because of this.
Lu Bu also knew very well that this battle was because it came suddenly, although the Xiongnu in the north were ready to move, but they had not yet been entangled, after all, the present is not as good as the beginning, let alone the "future", the Xiongnu Nandan Yuting was controlled by the old Xiongnu king, but at this time, there were many old people in the Xiongnu clan, and the opinions of the old people have always been troublesome, and they often hesitated, so many decisions were delayed; And Yuan Jun didn't know what was going on here, so he could have time to arrange it calmly, otherwise he would be uncomfortable if he came under pressure from many parties.
The battle with Zhang Yang is actually the same for Lu Bu, he only promises to win, not to lose. (To be continued.) )
