Chapter 519: A Tired Soldier's Plan
"Brother Huang, it's not okay to go on like this!" Under the night light, Zhu Tian looked into the distance, the fire in the distance was bright, shining on the heaven and earth, that was where Pei Yuanqing's army was stationed, because the weather was cool at night, it was not cold, and the two sides did not even set up tents, so they camped in the wild. It's also a lot better, so that when you run up, it's cheaper for the other party.
However, Zhu Cang's mood is undoubtedly not very good, Pei Yuanqing attacked during the day, although the number of killed and wounded was relatively small, but the impact on the morale of the army was very large, and more importantly, Zhu Cang simply threw those wounded soldiers aside, not caring about the life or death of these soldiers, this is very normal in Zhu Cang's army, and in the past, he would even kill these wounded soldiers simply and eat them, but now it is different, the enemy is following behind, and he can kill at any time, Zhu Cang is also hesitant for a while.
"What else can I do? Tomorrow morning, order the elite, go first, and as for the old and weak, let them go! Zhu Cang finally said. He already felt deeply uneasy, Pei Yuanqing followed behind at this time, did not force an attack, and did not retreat, if there was no conspiracy inside, it was almost impossible. Zhu Cang thought that this was to create an opportunity for Li Xin, and Li Xin's soldiers and horses must be behind. Therefore, Zhu Cang must leave here in the shortest possible time and break away from Pei Yuanqing.
"Who's going to break off?" Zhu Tian couldn't help but glance at the distance and said, "It won't be Nie Bin!" ”
"Naturally, we can't sit in the rear army." Zhu Cang said without hesitation. The army left behind is almost about to die, and Pei Yuanqing may not be so merciful to his subordinates.
"It's better to advance with a large army, no matter who is behind, the elite soldiers and strong generals will walk in front, let Pei Yuanqing attack, if Pei Yuanqing is ruthless, hehe, our army has eaten human flesh, and it is extremely fierce. In the end, I really don't know who will kill whom in the end? Zhu Tian's eyes rolled, and he hesitated for a while before speaking.
Zhu Cang listened and nodded, Zhu Tian didn't have any way to say this, there were no talents under his command, and there was no one-man character, outlaws and bandit rangers were the main force under Zhu Cang, and the real talented people either looked down on Zhu Cang, or were killed by Zhu Cang's jealousy because of their talents. Either they have simply passed the long-term cannibalism level.
It can be said that the current Zhu Cang and his subordinates are a group of soulless characters, besieging cities, killing people, eating human flesh, and then besieging cities, killing people, eating human flesh, etc., over the years, this is how the cycle has been, how can such people do anything big, they are just a group of animals dressed in human skin. What Zhu Cang abandoned was also without any pressure in his heart.
"Okay." Nie Bin also nodded, although it looked like there were 200,000 troops. There are only more than 100,000 people who can really fight, and it is just as Zhu Cang said, these people are extremely fierce and brutal, if Pei Yuanqing attacks. It may not always be smooth sailing.
Early the next morning, after Pei Yuanqing fed his war horse a bag of black beans, he saw the deputy general Ma Shankui striding over and said, "Yuanqing." Zhu Cang has already moved, and the speed of the army has accelerated a lot. ”
"Has he abandoned the old and the weak?" Pei Yuanqing asked in surprise, he got on his war horse. Looking into the distance, I saw a puff of black smoke moving rapidly in the distance, and behind the army, there were many soldiers moving slowly, some were ragged, some were stiff, I am afraid they were wounded soldiers.
"Zhu Cang is still ruthless, and the soldiers under him will abandon it when they say it, but it's just a general, what should we do now?" Ma Shankui frowned and said.
"What else can I do? Naturally, it is to kill the past. Pei Yuanqing held the double hammer in his hand and said: "Zhu Cang has abandoned his soldiers now, and the morale of the army has been affected, we don't care about these people, rush to kill them, let them hide aside, and those who surrender will not be killed, I don't believe that they will really resist our iron cavalry." ”
"These people are a bunch of crazy people, and I heard that they also eat human flesh." Ma Shankui looked at the Zhu Cang soldiers in the distance with disgust, Zhu Cang soldiers from top to bottom, are a group of beasts dressed in human skins, Ma Shankui and others are not very good, for such soldiers, they disdain to collect and surrender troops, according to the practice of the Guanzhong army, looting people's property, indiscriminately killing innocent people, should be subject to military law, not killed, but also sent to build roads.
"No matter, rush over, shoot with a bow and arrow for a while, and then say, what the prime minister asks is to drive away. Run with them. Pei Yuanqing didn't want to think about it and said: "If these people die, they are dead, if they don't die, it can be regarded as their luck." Ma Shankui, gather a large army, and attack immediately. Zhu Cang: This is the rhythm of escaping. They can't be spared. ”
Pei Yuanqing held a double hammer in his hand and said loudly: "Brothers, a group of lambs is in front of you, everyone follow me, rush over, kill it." I saw Pei Yuanqing urging the war horse under his crotch and roaring out, followed by the 20,000 cavalry behind him, these cavalry let out a burst of howls from their mouths, and the one in front had already opened their bows and arrows and shot at the Zhu Cang soldiers in front.
Tens of thousands of troops roared past, like a sea of mountains, towards the opposite side of the Zhu Cang army killed, shouting to kill the sky, Zhu Cang, who was advancing in the distance, looked behind him, but saw the smoke and dust in the distance rushing into the sky, sighed slightly in his heart, lowered his head and continued to move forward, the things behind him were not in his eyes at all, those people were the objects he could abandon at any time, and if he died, he was dead.
The bows and arrows of Pei Yuanqing's army fell like rain on Zhu Cang's rear army, which was itself abandoned, and Zhu Cang let these people stay behind just to stop Pei Yuanqing's footsteps.
"Those who descend will not be killed." Pei Yuanqing's war horse under his crotch did not stop, tens of thousands of troops roared away, broke into the rear army, and did not care about thirty-seven twenty-one, just cut down those guys who were eating human flesh anyway, they did a lot of evil on weekdays, after an impact, if they could save their lives, it was also their luck, if they were unlucky, they would naturally be killed by it.
"Those who descend will not be killed." Ma Shankui also followed up and roared loudly, tens of thousands of generals roared, Zhu Cang in the distance couldn't help but tremble, his face showed a look of horror, tens of thousands of troops charged, Zhu Cang also thought that no matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to compete with it, he didn't dare to look back, for fear that he would be affected by the momentum of tens of thousands of cavalry charges.
Sure enough, a large army rushed through, and there was blood all over the place, many of whom were already injured, and some of them were really old and weak, and in the face of the powerful cavalry, they did not even have the strength to resist. However, a small number of people were lucky enough to escape the trampling of the iron horse, hiding on both sides of the road, allowing Pei Yuanqing's army to rush past and kill Zhu Cang's army in the distance.
?“ Did Pei Yuanqing catch up? Zhu Cang panicked, this is already the third day, Pei Yuanqing's soldiers and horses are close behind, as long as he rests a little, Pei Yuanqing's army will definitely kill and kill, mostly with bows and arrows, Zhu Cang will also drop some of his troops to resist and escape by himself. At this time, Pei Yuanqing launched a charge to eliminate the broken forces. In just three days, Zhu Cang had lost nearly 30,000 people.
It's not that Zhu Cang didn't think about counterattacking, but Pei Yuanqing was too treacherous, every time he counterattacked, Pei Yuanqing would flee with his soldiers and horses, so that he couldn't attack Pei Yuanqing at all, but was also slowed down by the other party, and the morale of the army had dropped to the lowest point, and there were deserters almost every day. Zhu Cang wanted to cry without tears, and he didn't understand why he didn't offend Li Xin at all, why Li Xin would give up his main attack target and attack himself in turn.
"It's in the back." Zhu Tian said viciously. He looked embarrassed, there were blood stains on the armor on his body, and his hair was scattered, these days, for Zhu Day, it was a nightmare, he couldn't sleep well, he couldn't even eat well, they hadn't eaten human flesh for a long time, the remaining soldiers were mostly elite, and Zhu Tian didn't have time to kill, to eat human flesh, every time the army was about to eat, Pei Yuanqing's army rushed up, or a burst of slashing, or a burst of arrow rain, where is the mood to eat, The army of more than 100,000 was pressed and beaten by Pei Yuanqing in this way.
"We must cross the Biyang River immediately, the Biyang River is the wet season at this time, Pei Yuanqing's cavalry is afraid that it will be very slow to cross the river, this is just our opportunity, after the Biyang River, we will enter the mountain." Zhu Cang said viciously: "I think that Li Xin has not appeared yet, he is not really trying to deal with us, he just doesn't want us to stay in the Dengzhou area, we are in Dengzhou, his grain and grass will be threatened, and when we cross the Biyang River and enter the hinterland of Henan, I think he will not continue to attack us." ”
In the face of such a powerful enemy as Li Xin, although Zhu Cang was fierce, he had to lower his head. These days, he felt that Pei Yuanqing was driving himself, and he didn't kill much about himself, so he thought that Li Xin would only attack him because he was entrenched in the Dengzhou area and might threaten Li Xin's grain route.
"Yes. These guys are really hateful. Zhu Tian said viciously: "It's really not good, we will brave the other party's arrow rain, rush up, and use human lives to deal with him." I don't believe I can't kill these guys. ”
"He's not going to be hungry in melee combat with you." Zhu Cang shook his head and said. It's not that he hasn't thought about this kind of strategy, the other party is cavalry, and although the opponent's bow and arrow are gone, but every time he defeats himself, he can get some supplements, and he wants to fill it with human life, but Pei Yuanqing ignores himself at all, he retreats when he attacks, and when he retreats, he attacks, harasses himself, and makes himself miserable, Zhu Cang just thinks of countless ways, and he can't deter Pei Yuanqing, who lets the other party be cavalry, and he is an infantryman, unless he has a well-designed place, he can deal with Pei Yuanqing. Now Zhu Cang can only hope that after he crosses the Biyang River, Pei Yuanqing will no longer pursue him. (To be continued......)
