Text Chapter 602 Killing is unforgiving
The heavy cavalry of the Zhang family on three sides began to gallop to help, which was seen in the eyes of Cao Chun, who had just had a good face, and he was naturally surprised. Even with 5,000 tigers and leopards riding against the 2,500 Zhang family's heavy cavalry army, he didn't have the slightest chance of winning, not to mention that the opponent's army was about to arrive.
"Kill, can kill one is one person. A thousand men of the Left Route Army went to fend off enemy reinforcements. Cao Chun quickly gave the order, his goal was to wipe out a quarter of the Zhang family's heavy cavalry in front of him, so that even if he died, he could be blinded.
In order to ensure the completion of this task, Cao Chun sent a thousand tigers and leopards to resist the support of the other Zhangjia heavy cavalry. But what he didn't expect was that after the loss of a thousand warriors, the Zhangjia heavy cavalry army in front of Lu County also began to counterattack.
Before, they were just suppressed by the enemy's numerical superiority, and they did have a trace of carelessness, so they suffered some losses at the beginning. But when the enemy army lost 1,000 combat strength, that suppression became loose, giving them the opportunity to fight back with all their might, so how could they not seize it?
The sudden strong counterattack of the Zhangjiazhong cavalry made the encirclement of the tiger and leopard cavalry broken through one by one. And the 1,000 warriors sent in the distance were completely annihilated by just one shock when they faced the wolf-like Zhang Attack and Zhang Shou's army.
Without the numerical advantage, the Tiger and Par Cavalry would not be the opponent of the Zhang Jiazhong Cavalry at all.
After defeating a thousand tigers and leopards, the main force of the Zhang family's heavy cavalry came to Cao Chun, and then it was a devastating blow.
Poor Cao Chun, holding a three-foot long sword, was rushed to Zhang Feng and Zhang Shou to slash his body with a spear and a big knife in his hand respectively, and then fell from his horse and died with a face of unwillingness.
When he received this order, Cao Chun was ready to sacrifice, but he didn't expect things to progress so quickly, from his appearance to the end of his life, it was only not even a day, he was unwilling.
Cao Chun was killed, and the other tiger and leopard cavalry were also killed and captured, and with the careful cooperation of the Zhang family's heavy cavalry, none of them escaped.
To say that the tiger and leopard ride also have some backbone, they are also trusted and valued by Cao Cao. There is no way for the average enemy to force them to surrender. But the Zhang family's heavy cavalry army is definitely an alternative, and they have nothing to be unconvinced by losing in the hands of such a powerful enemy.
The most powerful enemy, the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry, was wiped out, and the other battlefields were naturally over. The bow and arrow of the Zhang family light cavalry army became the arrow of death, whether it was the eastern Xianbei and the mountain bandits, in the face of such an opponent, they were all Hao had no power to fight back, and in the end, the head of the mountain bandits, Song Poor, was beheaded by Zhang Dao, only the Xianbei general Tuo Shi saw the opportunity quickly, fled first, and rushed out with hundreds of personal soldiers.
More than 80,000 enemies were killed after three hours, and the army of the Celestial Empire won the final victory with the courage to move forward.
In this battle, the cavalry of the Dragon and Tiger Army lost more than 1,000 people, the Zhangjia light cavalry suffered more than 600 casualties, and the Zhangjia heavy cavalry army suffered 800 casualties and more than 1,300 wounded.
After Zhang Chao saw this statistical report in the big tent, his eyes were a little gloomy.
Any soldier of the Zhang family's heavy cavalry army is a treasure, and the casualties in this battle are so great that he is angry. If it weren't for the enemy's use of means to force him to divide his troops, it would not have been possible to have such losses.
"Your Majesty, we have captured 1,400 dragon and tiger knights in our generation, how to deal with it. They... Many of them are good fighters. Xu Chu stood aside, he could see that Zhang Chao was in a bad mood, but he still had to say something.
To say that in this battle, so many Zhang Jiajun died, it is natural for Zhang Chao to be angry. It's just that Xu Chu thinks that soldiers must be ready to die when they go to the battlefield, even Zhang Jiajun is no exception, and even if they can die on the battlefield, they still have to defend Zhang Chaozhong and sacrifice, which may be their life's wish.
It's just that the dead are gone, and what we have to do now is how to restore the previous combat strength. It's like the 1,400 captured tigers and leopards, if they can be used for themselves, then all the losses can be compensated.
Of course, all this is just Xu Chu's personal thoughts, and what to do next still needs Zhang Chao to take the doctrine.
There was some submissiveness in Xu Chu's voice, and the meaning of these words was naturally Zhang Chao also heard it very clearly. To say that the tiger and leopard cavalry is indeed Cao Cao's elite strength, such a person does not need to be talked about by others, he also knows that the quality of individual soldiers is good.
But in a good way, it is also an enemy, and Zhang Chao is not uncommon. In his opinion, there are many dragon and tiger riders who can't get back the loss of Zhang Jiajun.
"Kill! If you kill them all, you will be the enemy of our Zhang family, and you will have to pay the price of blood. Zhang Chao didn't think much about it and directly issued a military order.
"Ahh Kill them all, Your Majesty, they may be of our use. As soon as Xu Chu heard the word killing, he felt a shock all over his body, and he couldn't help but say in horror.
"What? Can't you even understand what I'm saying? At this moment, Zhang Chao suddenly raised his head, and then looked at Xu Chu with a hint of murderous eyes.
"I don't dare." Xu Chu hurriedly lowered his head, he felt it, the killing intent in Zhang Chao's eyes at this moment, although he was a little scared, but at the same time he had a sense of excitement. This at least proves that Zhang Jiajun is irreplaceable in the emperor's heart, not that you are strong enough to take this place. It seems that the dragon and tiger rider is also a powerful existence, but do you still have to sacrifice the flag for the dead Zhang Jiajun warriors?
Under Zhang Chao's order, 1,400 tigers and leopards were escorted to the execution ground. It was the Zhang family heavy cavalry led by Zhang Feng and Zhang Shou who carried out the execution.
Fourteen hundred tigers and leopards were half-pressed to the ground in some panic, and their eyes showed incredible expressions.
Most of them did not make a final struggle, but surrendered after the death of the main general, Cao Chun. That's because they believe that with their abilities, they will be valued wherever they go, and they will become a figure that others rely on.
There were even some of them who were dreaming of Corporal Zhang Chao Lixian making peace with them, and then being taken in for their own use after being reserved. But no one thought that it would end like this.
Seeing that the executioner was at his side, everything was inevitable, and these tiger and leopard warriors regretted it a little. If I knew this, it would have been better to fight to the death, at least after I died, I could hold my head high when I saw other comrades-in-arms, instead of being a prisoner like this now and dying, and even losing my dignity.
It's just that history won't give them a chance to choose again, and they are destined to die and bear the cross of shame.
Zhang Chao still came, but he didn't want to persuade him to surrender, but to reprimand, or to remove the last layer of embarrassment from these tigers and leopards.
"You are not worthy to be warriors, because you still have the strength to fight, but you have chosen to surrender. Compared with you, those who died in battle are more respected. Of course, you will die, not simply because of a simple surrender, but because your opponent is the heavy cavalry of the Zhang family, and you must die in order not to insult these warriors of mine. Because I can't tolerate that my Zhang heavy cavalry will die at the hands of a group of cowardly people. ”
This is the reason why Zhang Chao came to see these tigers and leopards, and after he finished speaking, he waved his big hand and gently spit out a word, "Chop!" ”
"Huh!"
Fourteen hundred great knives were raised high and fell, followed by 1,400 bloody heads and bodies.
The captives of the tiger and leopard cavalry were killed, and the other heavy cavalry of the Zhang family fell to their knees one by one. For the sake of their dignity, their emperor did not accept this 1,400 warriors with good combat strength, and on this basis, this time they knelt down willingly.
"Clean up the battlefield, bury our warriors alive, and we're ready to go." Zhang Chao glanced at the corpse of the dead warrior of the Zhang family's heavy cavalry that was neatly placed on the ground, bowed deeply, and then strode out of here.
Zhang Chao already knew that all the 50,000 people in Lu County were killed by Cao Chun, and he was afraid that the news would leak to do so. But it also provoked his anger.
Since ancient times, the common people have been the foundation of the country, and the army and the political power that do not regard the people as human beings will never be able to gain a foothold in the world. Cao Chun did this, but he could only add the sins of the Wei State and be disgraced.
Of course, just relying on moral accusations can't do anything to Wei Jun, what Zhang Chao needs is blood for blood. This time, Cao Cao actually took the initiative to shoot his sword at himself, so he had to be prepared for failure. And now Zhang Chao is going to give a thunderous counterattack, he wants to borrow these horses under his command to kill the border of Wei State, he wants to give the other party a heavy blow and give it a good look.
There is another important reason for Zhang Chao to do this, that is, he wants to see how the Celestial Empire will operate in the absence of his own disappearance, and perhaps only this is the time to expose the ambitions and true hearts of others.
The sky was full of blood, and a few geese flew by with a mournful cry, as if wailing for the dead soldiers. As far as the eye can see, it is all red, and the red one can't help but be creepy. Flags, weapons were everywhere, and a few fireworks were burning, as if to tell people about the war that had just taken place.
In addition to burying his warriors, Zhang Chao simply cleaned up the battlefield, and then disappeared into Lu County with his 40,000 cavalry, and also disappeared from everyone's sight.
Zhang Chao's strict order to Xu Chu and others was that no one was allowed to disclose their news to the outside world. Wherever they go next requires strict secrecy and care, in short, he is going to disappear from everyone's sight, and he has to quietly observe everything that happens in the light from the dark.
The Battle of Lu County is over.
