Seeing the rout, Xue Li was also completely panicked, he didn't expect Liu to be so useless!

His heart suddenly burned like a fire, and as soon as Liu fled, he became the only supreme commander here. The morale of the army is in chaos and morale is low, what should I do?

He looked around and found that there were still at least 1,000 officers and soldiers who dared to fight, and they were still fighting hard without knowing that Liu had fled, and his heart immediately rushed upward, arousing a fierce energy, and flashed a thought: "Fight to the death!" Fight to the death! Only fight to the death! ”

He wanted to boost his morale first, so he raised his sword and shouted: "Warriors, stand up!" If you lose your food, it will be a capital crime to go back! I sent someone for help earlier, reinforcements are available! Don't be afraid of these thieves, kill! Kill! ”

But Xue Li's voice was completely annihilated by the sound of killing. He didn't care whether the soldiers heard it or not, he didn't retreat but advanced, and several soldiers who protected him, seeing that he had no intention of retreating, had no choice but to raise their spears and halberds to protect him, but he pushed them away and rushed to the front!

Zhang Shi, the deputy of the soldier Cao, ran over and grabbed him, and said anxiously: "The prison army must not come forward, on the contrary, you have to retreat!" ”

Xue Li couldn't help but be stunned: "Why? "When the Yellow Turban was in trouble last year, he also led dozens of men and horses, fought several battles, and killed more than a dozen people, but he never commanded an army of 1,000 people.

"The duty of the supervising army should be to carry a sword to supervise, and those who retreat will be killed!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Shi reminded him that the enemy was strong, and he had to organize himself to fight collectively. Xue Li did not have the courage of Meng Ben, and when he went up, he would kill someone and present him with the courage of a puppet, which did not play a big role, but led to the complete collapse of the whole army.

Seeing that Xue Li was still stunned, Zhang Shi shouted hoarsely: "The enemy army does not take advantage of the situation to vigorously cover up the killing, and is trying to let us escape and reduce their casualties." Gong Cao can take this opportunity to reunite his combat strength, and the dead side has a chance! ”

Now Xue Li understands!

Now the morale is low, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they must be strictly disciplined!

He hurriedly pointed to the soldiers beside him and said: "You, you, you, follow me to maintain military discipline, and those who retreat in fear of death will be killed!" Then he led them and quickly retreated to the rear.

There were five or six fleeing soldiers, unaware that there was already someone to supervise the battle. In the wild running, he ran into Zhang Shi and Xue Li head-on, and one of them was immediately frightened away by Zhang Shi's eyes, and the rest also stopped in fright. Xue Li raised his knife to slash, but several small soldiers immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Now Xue Li relented, after all, he was his own person!

His hesitation almost ruined the big thing. When the soldiers saw the momentum, they wanted to slip away, but Zhang Shi caught up, and slashed the first one to death with a knife in his hand, and the others were so frightened that they retreated.

Several people around Xue Li also shouted in unison: "Fear of war!" ”

Xue Li woke up suddenly, as a prison soldier, he couldn't execute, how could he ask others? How can you obey the people if you don't kill them? It would be dereliction of duty not to kill them! If you don't kill them, you'll have to break up! It has to be ruthless!

In this time of life and death, how can we motivate them, teach them, and exhort them?

Killing is the only best way at the moment!

He couldn't help muttering: "Hateful Liu! ”

Now, he didn't hesitate, and slashed at the nearest deserter. The little soldier couldn't dodge, his head was almost cut off by Xue Li, and there was still a small lock of flesh hanging on the corpse and fell to the ground, blood splattered into Xue Li's eyes, nostrils, and mouth, and he didn't realize it.

At this moment, his blood boiled, and he felt that he was a bloodthirsty beast!

The rest of the people were farty and urinating, raising their hands and retreating, shouting that they were going to die on the battlefield, at the hands of the enemy, and reflexively rushed to the enemy formation!

"I didn't expect that the first person I killed in this battle was actually my own person!"

Xue Li was very emotional, wiped the knife on the body of the fugitive, blew his bleeding nose again, and shouted: "Spread my words quickly, and there will be such an example of a retreater!" Those who are timid and ineffective should also be killed! ”

"Again, there is a pension for the war dead, a reward of 10,000 dollars for killing a thief, and a knight for killing two thieves!"

This is not Xue Li's nonsense, for hundreds of years, the Han people have used bounties to motivate soldiers to fight bravely. The Han law stipulates: "If one person catches a group of thieves and beheads two people, he will be knighted at the first level", and "those who catch thieves and accumulate merit will be rewarded".

There is also a message to the defectors: "Those who escape from the battle are beheaded, and their families sit together!" ”

Advance or die, retreat and die!

If you advance, you will be killed, and if you retreat, you will bring disaster to the whole family.

There is still a bereavement pension for the war dead, and the bereavement pension can still support the family. If you escape, you will be ruthlessly killed by military law, and the whole family will sit together, and you will be infamous for the crime, which is not worth it!

No one is stupid, the person on the other side wants to kill you, and you have to kill him, the only way to live! If you can't kill it, you die, and it will benefit the whole family! Who has no loved ones, who has no parents? Think about them, rush!

Bing Cao's deputy Shi Zhang Shi grabbed a halberd, raised his head and roared angrily: "The eldest husband died on the battlefield, and he died as he deserved!" Fight! Kill ......," he said, charging to the front, sweeping down one of the thieves, and then fighting again. Peng Cheng's morale was suddenly greatly boosted, and they all followed him to meet the attack.

In the scuffle, after killing several officers and soldiers in a row, a thief raised his spear and stabbed Zhang Shi fiercely. When Zhang Shiting's halberd was in a hurry, he suddenly heard the sound of the bowstring, and the thief had fallen! He couldn't help but squint his eyes and swept the feather arrows in the direction, only to see Xue Li on the arrow again.

With such a little respite, Xue Li hurriedly found a wounded soldier, asked about Zhang Shi's situation, and learned that he had been in the Pengcheng army for more than ten years and was quite prestigious. Since last year, the establishment of officers and soldiers in China has been composed of soldiers and military commanders, and below the soldiers and Cao have two soldiers and four deputy historians, and each deputy history of soldiers and Cao has four commanders. Liu Zhizhi was lazy in governing the army, and entrusted more soldiers to Cao Shi and Deputy History. One of the soldiers in the team, Cao Shi and Deputy Shi, had died in battle, and Zhang Shi was actually the highest position, and the current soldiers were only looking at him. After Liu only fled, the soldiers only saw that he was still fighting, so they did not break up on a large scale.

Xue Lixin said: "Liu only escaped, he is not good at commanding, and the team should have a leader." Since Zhang Shi stood up, stabilized his position with the troops, and was not afraid of death, let him be in charge of the overall situation, he should be stronger than himself. ”

But in this way, Zhang Shi will definitely die soon. Thinking of this, he ordered a soldier to give an order: "Deputy Shi Zhang!" Xue Gongcao has ordered Jun to command the whole army, and he cannot shirk! ”

After Zhang Shi tried his best to stab a person, he slowly retreated, and he didn't have time to make a move, so he only nodded to Xue Li, and immediately shouted and commanded. He was able to command nearly half of the men, but now that his identity is different, he naturally has to arrange it.

Not to mention, this stone still has some real skills. He quickly gathered the idle and weak soldiers, and arranged them into an arc-shaped defensive formation, with bows and crossbows inside, spears and halberds outside, and interspersed knives and halberds. Then they were ordered to move forward slowly, replacing the soldiers who were rushing to kill, and then forming the formation of those who had been replaced.

After this rectification, the already one-sided and complete rout, can be resisted for a while.

Nevertheless, after the previous toss, the general situation has become clear, and the momentum of the officers and men can hardly be sustained! After a few more battles, the officers and men will surely die. Both Zhang Shi and Xue Li knew this, but they were fearless.

Zuihou, a handful of people around Xue Li were also killed. At that time in the Han Dynasty, qualified scholars and martial artists generally practiced both civil and military skills. Many children of big families have been familiar with fencing, riding and archery since childhood, and at the same time learned the Ming Sutra. Xue Li is the same, he himself is very strong, and he went into battle several times last year, killing more than a dozen people, and he was not afraid of the bloody scenes. Although he is mainly literate, he is also a good fighter. As soon as he came up, he was entangled with one of the enemy's pawns, and you attacked me and blocked the ground for a few fights.

The thieves were still brave, and the officers and soldiers had already retreated to the big tent of the Chinese army, which had been flattened, and the banner had already been cut down. But the remaining hundreds of people are still desperately resisting under the leadership of Xue Li and Zhang Shi, and they have to fight until Zuihou for a moment.

The war was coming to an end, and several generals of the thief army rested instead to watch their men and soldiers fighting.

There are fewer and fewer people around Xue Li, he rushes back and forth to kill, he has killed several thieves, his body has been wounded several times, his robe has been dyed blood, his breathing is getting heavier and heavier, he feels that his arm seems to be no longer obedient, and he can't support it!

When he was struggling desperately, someone in the enemy camp shouted, "Oh no! Reinforcements are coming! The leader is Huang Wan and Huang Envoy! ”

Then someone shouted: "What are you panicking, turn around to meet the enemy!" ”

Before the words fell, I heard a scream!

Obviously, it was a volley of people and horses who came to help, so that the thieves who had just turned around and had not stabilized their bodies were hit by arrows one after another.

"Woo woo woo ......" another sound came, it should be the clarion call for reinforcements to attack!

The Peng Cheng soldiers in the bitter battle suddenly boosted their morale again, and Xue Li suddenly felt that his spirit was doubled, and he roared angrily: "Reinforcements are coming!" Yuzhou reinforcements are coming! Huang Mu is here! Don't let go of the thieves, kill! Kill ......"

He struggled forward, rushed up and cut down one of the thieves, and his whole body felt as if he had collapsed. He braced himself with his knife and gasped for air.

His shouts made the surrounding enemy soldiers panic, but it also attracted a thief who was covered in blood and his eyes were red. Seeing that there was no one around Xue Li to protect him, he slowly approached intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly stabbed from Xue Li's right side.

Manpower is sometimes poor! Xue Li subconsciously wanted to block this spear, but he was extremely tired, and he couldn't lift up any strength, so he turned his body down and closed his eyes and said, "Die today!" ”
