Chapter 37: The Annihilation of the Army
The fire danced in Timanda's eyes, reflecting Timanda's despair at the moment. Is it true that I am going to die here? Timanda sighed silently.
In the battlefield, surrounded on all sides, the Han army that bloomed in the center contracted the encirclement, and kept harvesting the heads of the Wuhuan people. Ao Lie has completely turned into a bloody man, and in tonight's successive battles, there are no less than a hundred Wuhuan people who have died in the hands of Ao Lie! These people used their own blood to once again achieve the name of Ao Lie's overlord.
After killing another Wuhuan cavalryman, Ao Lie jumped on his horse and speared, and came to the front of the 3,000 rebels in the center, at this time, the 3,000 rebels also suffered large casualties after fierce fighting, and there were less than 2,000 people left who could continue to fight. Ao Lie's cold gaze swept over the two thousand people, and he said loudly: "Treason, the crime should be punished!" However, if you wait for the lost way to know your way back and fight bravely to kill the enemy, you will also make up for it. After this battle, let's play under Benhou. ”
More than 2,000 rebels heard Ao Lie's words, and immediately let out a burst of cheers, in all fairness, no one wants to be a traitor, now they have the opportunity to change their ways, and they can even vote under the command of the famous General Huwei, the Marquis of Baisheng Pavilion, and Ao Lie, who is known as the little overlord, how can they not let these rebels rejoice in their hearts? In the body that was already exhausted, because of Ao Lie's words, he was full of strength again, and he raised his weapons and shouted: "I will follow the general to the death and never rebel!" ”
Ao Lie nodded, raised his gun and pointed at the Wuhuan people who were still resisting, and said loudly: "Use your courage and war knives to tell Ben Hou that you are still a great Han elite soldier!" The two thousand rebels suddenly shouted at the top of their voices, waving the weapons in their hands and attacking the Wuhuan people.
With these two thousand strong soldiers launching a desperate rush, the formation of the Wuhuan people was completely defeated, and the Wuhuan people who were surrounded in the mezzanine had to face the rush of these two thousand strong soldiers, and also had to resist the encirclement of the four elite subordinates of Ao Lie on the periphery. Only where Timanda is located can still be organized, gathering thousands of Wuhuan people, protecting Timanda layer by layer.
As the saying goes, fire and water are merciless. Although Timanda had thousands of men around him to protect him, no one could resist the fire that burned behind him. Timanda had no choice but to order the cavalry around him: "Attack towards the place with the least number of people, and be sure to break out of the encirclement!" ”
However, how could Xun Yu, who was standing not far away from Qiu Po, let him get his wish? Timanda led his troops to break through to the east, and Xun Yu's command flag pointed eastward; Timanda broke through to the west again, and Xun Yu's command flag pointed to the west again.
Timanda heard the shouting and killing on the battlefield in the rush and gradually stopped, reined in the war horse and watched carefully, and found that in addition to the more than 1,000 relatives around him, the rest of the clansmen died and fell, and the entire battlefield was covered with the corpses of the clansmen, and he was tightly surrounded by the elite of Ao Lie's subordinates, and there was no possibility of breaking through.
Accompanied by a group of soldiers, Ao Lie came to Timanda with a reined in his horse, and his razor-like gaze looked directly into Timanda's eyes. Seeing Ao Lie staring at her, Timanda couldn't help but feel a chill all over her body, and asked tremblingly, "What do you want?" ”
Ao Lie didn't answer, and slowly raised the spear stained with the blood of the Wuhuan people in his hand, and pointed the tip of the spear straight at Timanda. As Ao Lie raised his gun, the elite of the 800 Blood Killing Battalion and the only remaining 800 foot soldiers shouted in unison: "Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!" Listening to the shouts of Ao Lie's subordinates with all their might, the two thousand rebels felt the blood boiling in their chests, and they couldn't help shouting: "Those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away!" ”
The two shouts gradually blended together, and everyone used all their strength to shout with burning blood: "Those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away!" ”
Deafening shouts resounded across the battlefield. As the Han army shouted louder and louder, the courage and belief of the Wuhuan people were worn out little by little. One of the Wuhuan cavalrymen turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and shouted hoarsely: "I surrender!" I won't fight, I'm willing to surrender! ”
With the first one to take the lead, thousands of Wuhuan people began to kneel down one after another and ask for surrender. They threw away their weapons, turned over and dismounted, knelt in front of Ao Lie, and said—
"I surrender too!"
"If you don't fight, I'll surrender!"
"Ask General Huwei to spare us, we are willing to surrender."
Seeing his subordinates dismount and surrender one by one, and there were only dozens of people left around him who were still insisting, Timanda couldn't help but show a wry smile of decline: "I didn't expect that I, Timanda, also have today, that's it, that's it." There was bitterness in his tone.
Ao Lie said coldly: "Those who surrender, slowly step out of the ranks!" ”
Nearly 1,000 Wuhuan people who surrendered walked out of the queue one after another, and Zhang Liao took the elite of the bloody killing battalion to take them aside, and the more than 3,000 Wuhuan people who had been captured in the previous battle were staked.
Looking at the nearly 4,000 Wuhuan captives coldly, Ao Lie said coldly: "Those who participated in the massacre of the people of Jianping are out of the ranks!" ”
More than a thousand captives slowly walked out of the crowd.
Ao Lie continued: "Before this battle, those who killed my Han people are out of the ranks! ”
More than a thousand more captives came out.
Looking at the more than 2,000 Wuhuan captives who came out of the ranks, Ao Lie had no expression on his face, and coldly spit out a word: "Kill!" ”
Zhang Liao immediately led the elite of the 800 blood slaughter battalion, rode his horse and rushed to the Wuhuan captives who came out, and a miserable scream sounded one after another, and the heads of more than 2,000 Wuhuan captives were cut to the ground one after another, like dumplings in the pot. With just one charge, the elite of the Eight Hundred Blood Killing Battalion eliminated more than 2,000 Wuhuan prisoners.
Looking at the brutal execution ground, Ao Lie said loudly: "War is synonymous with bloodshed and killing!" Where there are people, there is war! The winner cannot win forever, and the loser cannot fail forever! Whoever kills must be prepared to be killed! Adhering to the principle of peaceful coexistence, my Han Youzhou Mu Liu Gong made an agreement with you Wuhuan non-aggression, but you Wuhuan people treacherously, captured my Han city, slaughtered my Han people, blood feud, and did not share the sky! ”
After a pause, Ao Lie continued: "I believe that there are also good people among the Wuhuan people, and there are even civilians who are forced to go to the battlefield!" From today on, the Wuhuan people who are willing to submit to my Han Dynasty can survive in Youzhou as long as they abide by the laws of our Han Dynasty and accept the control of our Han Dynasty! ”
Under Ao Lie's grace and might, the remaining more than 2,000 Wuhuan captives trembled and said:
"We are willing to accept the control of the big man."
"We must obey the laws of the Great Han."
Ao Lie waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Liao to escort these captives down, and then Ao Lie turned his eyes and looked at Timanda again: "Words, Ben Hou has already said it very clearly, presumably, you also know what Ben Hou means, right?" ”
Timanda laughed miserably, knowing that she was going to die, but when she was dying, she resumed the style of a Wuhuan warrior: "Defeated in the hands of the little overlord, convinced!" If you want to kill and scrape, listen to it! ”
Ao Lie slowly stretched out two fingers, pointed at Timanda and dozens of other horsemen, and announced their death sentence: "Kill!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he had already drawn his bow and arrows, and hundreds of soldiers who had not been provoked released their bowstrings at the same time, and one after another sharp arrows were shot at Timanda and the others with unforgettable hatred. After a rain of arrows, dozens of Wuhuan cavalry, including Timanda, were shot into hedgehogs, each with at least a dozen sharp arrows stuck in their bodies, bleeding to death.
Looking at Timanda's corpse, Ao Lie was speechless for a long time. This is war, as he said to the Wuhuan captives just now, war is synonymous with bloodshed and killing. In troubled times, it is impossible to be alone, and after tonight's bloody battle, Ao Lie also saw this clearly. Soon after the Han Dynasty, the troubled times are coming, since I have the fate to travel into this troubled times, be reborn and grow in the troubled times, and become a member of the troubled times, then it is impossible to escape it. From chaos to order, it is a process of killing and rebirth, and in troubled times, killing to stop killing, and war to stop war is the most feasible way.
After thinking through all this, Ao Lie let out a long breath, and the thirteen-year-old seemed to have an understanding on his face. The people standing close to Ao Lie vaguely felt that some changes had taken place in Ao Lie, becoming more tenacious, more decisive, and more mature.
Seeing that the battle was completely over, Xun Yu walked down from Qiu Po, and without Ao Lie's orders, he led the sergeants to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded.
After a while, Xun Yu came to Ao Lie's side, and just wanted to speak, he suddenly felt a slight change in Ao Lie, and couldn't help but pause and looked at Ao Lie in a daze. Ao Lie smiled and asked, "What's the matter, doesn't Wen Ruo know so-and-so?" ”
Xun Yu came back to his senses, his face was full of excitement and joy, and he bowed to Ao Lie to the ground: "Yu is fortunate in this life, he can serve under the lord, and today he has to see the lord reborn, Yu is infinitely happy in his heart, and I hope the lord will forgive me for a moment." ”
Ao Lie turned over and dismounted, helped Xun Yu up, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Wen Ruo really understands XX's thoughts. The two looked at each other and laughed.
After laughing, Xun Yu remembered what was going on, and said to Ao Lie: "Lord, just clean up the battlefield, Yu found the body of Zou Fu, the Taishou of Youbeiping, may I ask the lord how to dispose of it?" ”
The smile on Ao Lie's face gradually turned cold, and he said indifferently: "Zou Fu is a Han minister, but he has betrayed the Han, and his heart can be punished!" Passed on my order, sent back to Jixian County, and told my father to hang Zou Fu's head in Jijun City and expose it to the sun for three days to set an example! ”
Listening to Ao Lie's ruthless order, Xun Yu not only did not dissuade him, but felt that it should be so. Naturally, traitors will end up being traitors. When dealing with traitors, showing the head to the public is the only fate of them!
After conveying Ao Lie's order, Xun Yu said: "My lord, there are only more than 2,000 rebels in Youbeiping now, and the warriors are commanding, our army can quickly march and attack Youbeiping first, in case the Wuhuan army attacks." ”
Ao Lie nodded in agreement. Then he turned over his horse and shouted to the soldiers under his command who were resting or bandaging their wounds: "Soldiers! A certain Zhilu said that you have been exhausted after a series of battles, but the army of Wuhuan people is approaching, for our country to be inviolable, for our compatriots to be unviolated, for our families to live and work in peace and contentment, so, I ask you to use every bit of potential in your body to conquer Youbeiping overnight, and make Youbeiping our first line of defense against Wuhuan! Keep the Wuhuan people out of Youbeiping and keep them away from our country and relatives! ”
Hearing Ao Lie's shouting, whether it was sitting on the ground resting, or bandaging the wounds, and even the Han soldiers who were seriously injured and couldn't even stand up, shouted in a high voice: "Defend the family and defend the country, resist Wuhuan!" ”
Listening to the soldiers' high-spirited response, Ao Lie raised his spear and pointed in the direction of Youbeiping, and gave an order loudly: "Target Youbeiping, go!" ”
