Chapter Seventy-Six: The Honor of the Dead
The battle began under such unforeseen circumstances.
It ended in an unforeseen situation.
……。
When more than 3,000 soldiers of the Black Flag Guard rushed into Chungju City like madmen.
The resistance encountered was definitely the fiercest in this battle, and the time for the most casualties was also the same.
Of the hundreds of Black Flag Guards who charged in the first wave, only seven survived.
Yu Cunzhong has gone crazy.
Bailiyi has already gone crazy.
Even Ma Jiyun, who has always been calm, is just as crazy at the moment.
There are only six pro-soldier captains given to his son by Baili Wuji's father who are not crazy, they are already Black Flag Guard captains, but in their hearts, they will always be pro-soldiers. Although they are charging the same, they are not crazy.
Because they have a mission in mind.
A task that had to be completed.
A mission that costs one's life to complete.
That is to die in front of Baili Wuji.
As long as they are alive, no one will be able to kill their lord.
Even if they are dead, they must create hope for the Lord to live before they die.
So Baili Wuji is alive, except for the blood of his body, the blood of the Shu army, Baili Wuji is not injured at all.
But two of the guards fell forever, and the other four were also injured to varying degrees.
The Shu army was actually on the verge of collapse when the Black Flag Guard charged in the second wave.
The strength of gritting his teeth and persistence comes from the fear and trust of Han Jixun, the main general behind him.
Fear and trust don't seem to be synonymous.
But that doesn't mean they can't exist at the same time.
The fear in the hearts of the soldiers of the Shu army came from the cold-bloodedness of Han Jixun when he carried out military discipline. And trust is the affirmation of Han Jixun's command ability, and the Shu army believes that Han Jixun will definitely be able to lead them to victory, will be able to lead them to live, and will definitely be able to bring them back.
But when the third wave of the Black Flag Guard's charge began, the Shu army was indeed unable to hold on.
I believe that there is no army in this world that can withstand the attack of a group of bloodthirsty devils, no, it should not be an attack, to be precise, it should be desperate, and it is a kind of scoundrel-style desperateness. A Shu army general said after the war.
Because the soldiers of the army fought for the sake of victory.
But the Black Flag Guards are desperate for their lives, they are desperate just to drain their own blood.
Who can fight with this group of people, and who dares to fight with this group of people.
After the war, the soldiers of the Shu army attacked the Black Flag Guard soldiers with lingering fears.
Those people really can't be called human.
They didn't just kill the Shu army, they didn't even let go of their own people.
As soon as a serious injury is made, a firearm is detonated.
It doesn't matter if there are their own people around.
But because of our large numbers, it was basically our people who were blown up. The Shu soldier explained.
In this way, the life of a Black Flag Guard soldier was exchanged for the lives of a dozen or dozens of Shu soldiers.
What kind of battle is this kind of battle?
……。
So, the Shu army collapsed.
But the straw that completely collapsed the Shu army was a piece of news.
A piece of news that made Han Jixun have to order a retreat.
-- Wu De Jiedu made Wang Chuhui to lead 5,000 sailors to be attacked by an army of unknown origin on the bend of the Yangtze River dozens of miles away from Chungju, and the whole army was annihilated.
Han Jixun asked the scouts to confirm the news three times.
Han Jixun couldn't believe it, and he couldn't believe it.
The 5,000 sailors were wiped out so silently.
What kind of army is this?
If this army turns around and attacks Zhongzhou from the west of Zhongzhou, then he and the Shu army under his command may really not be able to go back.
As a last resort, Han Jixun had no choice but to order a quick withdrawal.
Of course, Han Jixun couldn't know about Lu Dao, this army of unknown origin was less than 2,000 people, and he wouldn't know that the Black Flag Guard had a secret firearm called a wheel cannon.
Under the spontaneous pursuit of the Black Flag Guard, Han Jixun led less than half of the Shu army to escape with strong unwillingness.
No, that's what Shu said, because the Black Flag Guard had mastered a powerful firearm, the Shu army that went to attack couldn't adapt for a while, and after careful consideration by the commander Han Jixun, he led 20,000 Shu troops to Quzhou, waiting to regain the lost territory again in the future.
After hearing this kind of news, Bai Li Yi said disdainfully: "I think there must be a lot of corpses in the 20,000 Shu army." ”
Since then, the battle for Chungju City has ended.
……。
The smoke faded.
Chungju Castle.
The Black Flag Guard soldiers cleaning the battlefield were in tears.
Because they could not piece together the corpses of their comrades, they could not find where the mutilated parts were scattered.
It is not clear whether a certain piece of fragment belongs to the Shu army or to a comrade-in-arms.
It is even more unclear whether the whole piece of thick slurry-like liquid under his feet is the blood of the Shu army or his comrades.
With a gentle step, the thick pulp liquid slowly overflowed the instep of the foot, and a piece of meat appeared from the liquid from time to time.
The "chirp" that comes when you gently pull your foot away from the surface of the liquid.
Tell people that countless lives have been lost here.
The strong smell of blood in Chungju City lingered for months.
The people of Chungju did not dare to take to the streets for months.
Baili Wuji's eyes are empty.
The expression is numb.
This battle did his best.
He didn't even react when he heard the news that two guards had died to protect him.
At this time, there was no joy, anger and sorrow in Baili Wuji's heart.
It's like a walking corpse.
Anyone spoke to him, and he didn't react, just stared vacantly out the door.
Yu Cunzhong and Ma Jiyun had no choice but to order the soldiers to pour him noodle soup.
A day later, Yun Yang returned victoriously with a caravan and a crossbow battalion.
After learning about Baili Wuji's situation, Yun Yang knew that this was normal. A young man who is not as young as a weak crown has carried too many expectations from too many people, and won such an impossible victory, and so many soldiers who are facing each other have left, and the heavy pressure crushed Baili Wuji at the moment of the end of the battle, Yun Yang has experienced this kind of battle, so he can understand.
Yun Yang asked Yu, Ma and the others to leave, and had a conversation with Baili Wuji alone.
"Ziqing, if you fight, you will definitely die, don't get along with yourself."
"Ziqing, the Black Flag Guards all take you as their backbone, you can't collapse."
"Ziqing, the Black Flag Guard soldiers were not killed by you, nor were they instigated by you to die, they died for their dreams."
……。
Yun Yang tried to convince Baili Wuji with different reasons.
"Do they have dreams? All they asked for before they died was a bowl of wine, but I couldn't even give it to them. ”
Baili Wuji reacted.
"Nope. Ziqing, they have dreams, their dreams are no longer bullied, their dreams are to be able to keep their homes, their dreams are to follow Ziqing to make contributions, their dreams still have the glory of their ancestors, they return to their hometowns, and they have more dreams that you need you to take them to realize. ”
Yun Yang squatted down and said loudly in Baili Wuji.
