Chapter 104: The Giant Kou Confers the Head
Du Wenhuan, as the chief soldier of Yansui Town, this time together with the governor Yang He, as the main force of the Chinese army to encircle and suppress the thieves, almost brought all the elites that could be mobilized in his hands, with no less than 10,000 troops, of which as many as 3,000 were armored, and he really tried his best to serve. And because of the joint camp with the Governor, the discipline along the way was well maintained, and when the tide of the rout came, the troops were still able to maintain a tight order.
The thieves and the rout rushed to the front and were forced to retreat by the rain of arrows, unable to advance, the people behind rushed up and pushed with the people in front, where would there be any good words in the mouths of the Qiu Ba, all kinds of foul language with Ningxia accents couldn't stop shouting out, Du Wenhuan's grandmother fell eight lifetimes of mold, some of the rout soldiers saw that there was no effect, they changed their strategy to begging bitterly, and some simply pulled out their blades, regardless of whether the officers and thieves around them were in a mess, and the Yansui Town array was in a mess before. Du Wenhuan was unmoved, only patrolling around, and strictly ordered all the officers and soldiers to keep their posts.
Seeing that the rout army in Ningxia Town could not advance, they formed gangs to protect themselves, forming small groups ranging from a few to dozens of people, each fighting for itself, although there were many thieves, but it was a plate of scattered sand, and for a time there was no need for the officers and soldiers of Yansui Town to go out, and the two sides fought fiercely against each other in front of the formation, and fell into chaos.
Du Wenhuan's mind is normal in this era, Ningxia Town is a foreign army, needless to say, along the way, he has also caused a lot of local disasters, and in his heart, the hateful Cheng Dรน is not much like a thief. Their supreme commander was nothing more than Zhang Yingchang, the general of the East Road, and he had just abandoned the army and fled. It is the right way to strictly guard the position and not accept the defeated soldiers, and it is reasonable to go to the edge of the sky. The deeper meaning in his heart was to let the Ningxia soldiers fight with the thieves first, and then clean up the situation at the end, so as not to suffer more casualties. As for the first-level property, it will naturally all belong to his own family at that time, and it will be a blessing for the gods not to punish the defeated soldiers, so do you dare to compete with his Lord Zongrong?
However, Du Wenhuan still felt a little strange in his heart, although the thieves in front of him were like scattered sand, it was obvious that there were quite a lot of healthy people among them, fierce and fierce, which was very different from ordinary thieves, even in the official army, there was no doubt that they were elite, and this matter was quite strange. He ordered someone to find a few Ningxia town soldiers to come over for questioning, in order to solve doubts, some of these defeated soldiers must have personally experienced the collapse process, and they are undoubtedly more aware of the ins and outs of the matter than General Zhang and Jia Ding, who hid behind and ran faster than rabbits.
It is also easy to find someone to ask questions, find a few Zhang Yingchang's family members to come over to recognize people, and when they see a familiar general nearby, they will gesture to them to lean over, and the crossbowmen have been ordered, and they do not send a single arrow to them, and a few people enter the formation along the way.
To escape from danger, several lucky people were all happy, and when they were brought to Du Wenhuan, when they learned that they were the chief soldiers, they all kowtowed like pounding garlic, thanked them for saving their lives, and were full of Ningxia rural slang, and spoke quickly in a hurry, and nine out of ten sentences Du Wenhuan did not understand. Fortunately, some of Zhang Yingchang's family members could speak official language, and they took the initiative to translate for them when they saw this, so that the two sides would not be staring at each other.
Ningxia Town is located in the west of the Hetao Plain, which is the so-called "Xitao", there are many local Hui # people and Qiang people, these soldiers are not Han, high nose and deep eyes, the accent is quite heavy, the official language of the family is only half a bucket of water, and it is extremely difficult to translate. Du Wenhuan was impatient in his heart, but he still endured himself when he thought of the military situation, and asked him about the details of the rout with a pleasant face.
It's okay not to ask, but Du Wenhuan became more and more surprised when he asked. It turned out that Zhang Yingchang ordered the troops to stand by at that time, although the formation was not neat, and the whole army lacked the current consciousness and tension of the great enemy, but after all, the Ningxia Zhen soldiers were the elite of the three sides, quite fierce, and the strength of the troops was also very considerable.
But according to the words of several soldiers in front of them, the situation at that time was extremely strange, the originally calm army of thieves suddenly broke out into a great riot, all of them fled towards the north as if they did not want to die, and most of them were the elite thieves who ran on horseback, as if the "two kings" had sent their old battalions to settle down, and they were desperate.
Although the soldiers of Ningxia are also regarded as the elite of the border army, after all, they are outnumbered by the thieves, and they are guest troops, and the whole army has no intention of fighting to the death, and the main general Zhang Yingchang is not on the front line to preside over military affairs, so it is impossible to resist the sweep of this thief frenzy. In the end, what contributed to the collapse of the whole army in Ningxia Town was the huge ghost face that appeared in the sky, which was also the culprit of the thief riot! I saw that the ghost face was slowly approaching, and a huge explosion was faintly heard in the distance, and the thieves accelerated the pace of attack as if they were crazy. The defense line of Ningxia Town, which was already beginning to show signs of defeat, was even more precarious, and finally the officers and troops could not withstand the huge psychological pressure, shouted out, and fled in all directions to the north.
The whole process was too fast, and there was not much time left for Zhang Yingchang to react, so that when the Qingxiu family Ding entered the account, the defeated soldiers in front were already close to the Chinese army's big tent! After that, Zhang Yingchang's response was known to everyone, and he almost left all his subordinates and ran wildly all the way until he met the governor Yang He. Although Du Wenhuan despised his cowardice and incompetence, he put himself in his shoes, even if he was Zhang Yingchang and was on the front line at the time, it was doubtful whether he could hold the line of defense under such circumstances.
The ghost faces, explosions and other things that several soldiers said were already unbelievable and unbelievable, but the more exciting news was still to come. That's the news they heard on the way to escape, it turned out that the huge "ghost face" would actually radiate thunder and fire, and the middle of the people would be killed instantly, and the power was endless, Wang Jiayin and Wang Er, the two thieves and several other main leaders of the thieves, had been killed by a stroke!
The "second king" is dead! This news exploded like a bomb, and Du Wenhuan's head buzzed, and he was dumbfounded. The army of thieves in front of him is known as 100,000 people, and the number of people who can go into battle after removing the old, weak, sick and disabled is never less than 50,000, of which the number of elite soldiers in the old battalion is equivalent to the sum of the soldiers of several official armies, but there are a lot of horses, and the strength is not weaker than that of the officers and soldiers.
