On the second day after Ye Liduluo set off for Xingqing Mansion, Mi Hong led his soldiers and horses to find the traces left by the Dahua deserters, and chased them all the way to a place called the Shepherd Fort. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the exact location of this group of deserters is not known at the moment, they are marching with 70,000 or 80,000 refugees, and the speed cannot be too fast.

And so many people living together, it is inevitable that they will leave all kinds of traces, even if they do some necessary measures to cover up, but they can't do it at all, so Mihong is confident that he can catch up with this team within three days.

After ordering the team to rest in place, he released more than a dozen scouts to investigate the enemy's situation, and he needed to grasp the movement of that team as soon as possible so that he could make targeted strategic adjustments. He did these things not because he valued the enemy very much, but because of habit.

In order to deal with a team of deserters, the main general Ye Litura actually sent a team of 2,000 people, including 1,000 iron harriers. In his heart, he always thought that he was making a fuss about this, and the world knew that Dahua soldiers were cowardly and cowardly, and deserters who were already lost dogs were even less worth mentioning. In Mi Hong's opinion, it is enough to destroy a thousand of them!

As for the sixty or seventy thousand refugees who traveled with the other side, they were a herd of sheep who did not know how to resist.

As soon as the water in the iron pot began to tumble, a scout galloped back, bringing an enemy message to Mihong, about Dahua's deserters.

Listening to the scout's report, a confused expression on his face, he spread out the map and asked, "No refugees?" Are you sure you read that right? After receiving the scout's affirmative answer, Mi Hong pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Pull out the camp and put out the fire, and the whole army will be dispatched!" ”

The procession of 2,000 men hurried through the twilight, and at the position pointed by the scouts, several columns of smoke rose into the sky, indicating that someone was making a fire. He rode his horse on a high ground and observed for a while, shaking his head, this was not the Dahua deserter who attacked the barracks.

The group numbered about 2,000 people, and there was no large number of refugees in sight, so it was supposed to be another deserter. However, these people may know about the situation of the deserter team, and thinking of this, Mi Hong waved his hand and gave the order to attack.

A thousand iron harriers lined up, rolling up the smoke and dust to rush towards the camp of the Dahua army, and the other party's reaction was as panicked as ever, the commander nicknamed Liu Datou rushed out of the camp topless, shouting at the panicked soldiers, trying to organize people to resist the enemy attack, but these were all in vain.

In the face of the charge of the Tangut cavalry, many Dahua soldiers chose to flee at the first time, but they soon found that the Tangut army had also appeared around them, and the encirclement of them had been completed without them noticing. In the midst of despair and fear, no one rose up to resist, and many threw away their weapons and fell to their knees begging for mercy.

Mi Hong rode past the prisoners of war, his gaze moving through the crowd and finally landing on Liu Datou. Under the pull of the Western Xia soldiers, Liu Datou was pushed in front of Mi Hong's horse, and he cautiously raised his eyes to look at the Western Xia generals on the horse, and the other party's gaze on him seemed to be looking at a dog.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions, General Dahua!"

In the middle of the night, the cold northwest wind swayed the tent. In the tent, Wu Zheng and Gao Sheng were discussing something softly in front of the map, and under the faint candlelight, a black circle was set on a point in the map, and two Chinese characters indicated the name of the point: Qinzhou.

"When Cao He fled from the battlefield with his team, many people, including myself, did not object, because at that time we were only thinking about how to live." Gao Sheng stared at the dot on the map and whispered, "But now it's different, you let us understand what it means to be alive, and stealing life is not called living, only the walking dead." ”

Wu Zheng didn't answer, his brows were twisted together, and he said after a while: "It's too risky......"

Gao Sheng said: "Now is a rare opportunity, a chance for us deserters to wash away our shame again!" He pointed his finger heavily on the point called "Qinzhou", "The Western Xia people have besieged Qinzhou City for almost three months, and they haven't captured it yet!" As long as we cooperate with the defenders in the city, we will definitely be able to drive these Western Xia bandits away, Wu Gang Master, our people have changed, they can fight now! ”

Wu Zheng looked up at the rising emotions, and shook his head slightly: "I know that you want to continue to serve the country, and I also know that you want these brothers below to have a good home, so that you don't have the infamy of a deserter until you die...... However, our current strength is not strong enough to confront the Western Xia army head-on. ”

"But we won before! The military camp of the Tangut people has been given to us, doesn't that mean that our team is now very strong? Gao Sheng was a little unconvinced, in all the battles he had experienced, none of them could be as happy and relieved as he was that night. Even the Northwest Army, which claims to be the most capable of fighting, does not seem to have fought such a beautiful victory.

"Big Brother Gao...... That's not the same. Wu Zheng didn't want to discourage Gao Sheng's enthusiasm, but seeing that he was a little too blind and arrogant now, he had to open his mouth to persuade, "First of all, we attacked their military camp when the Tanguts were unprepared, and they were caught off guard by us. Secondly, the Tangut people have always had a contemptuous attitude towards us, and when I first came into contact with them, I felt that I would not say much about the truth that the arrogant army would be defeated. In the end, our morale reached its highest point that night, and the combat effectiveness was amazing, and I estimate that even if the opponent's strength is equal to ours, we will not suffer! ”

"With these three advantages, there is no reason for us to be invincible. However, if you have to pull the team down under the city of Qinzhou and fight head-on with the Western Xia army, then there will be only one result ......" Wu Zheng paused, and spat out four cold words in his mouth.

"Annihilation!"

Gao Sheng's face sank, although during this period of time, he and Wu Zheng got along very well, and the two could be regarded as sympathetic, but on some issues, they still had different opinions, after all, they were people from two different eras and different cultural backgrounds.

Just like today, the two had a disagreement about whether to send troops to rescue Qinzhou City, which was besieged by the Tanguts. It's impossible to talk about quarrels, but it must not be very pleasant in his heart, especially after Wu Zheng concluded that the result of his troops was the annihilation of the whole army, Gao Sheng became more and more unhappy, he felt that Wu Zheng was very good everywhere, but sometimes, he was too cautious and careful.

"Gang Leader Wu, don't be afraid of your jokes, those of us who have been deserters, in fact, what we are most afraid of is that someone will point to our back and say: 'Look, he is a deserter!' Gao Sheng's gaze stopped somewhere, and he said to himself.

"You said that each of us has a national spirit, which has been sleeping in our hearts in the past, but now it has awakened, it is awakened by you!" Gao Sheng turned his head to look at Wu Zheng, "We don't want to be a bad seed anymore, and we don't want to let the enemy look down on us anymore." Even if there are 100,000 enemy troops in front of us, we will not let us flee again, it's time for them to see the backbone of our great Chinese! ”

Wu Zheng saw the raging flames in Gao Sheng's eyes, he knew that no matter what he said today, he would not be able to change Gao Sheng's will, although he was a little blind and ignorant, but this courageous momentum really moved Wu Zheng deeply.

At this moment, Wu Zheng saw the long-disappeared blood and backbone of the Great Chinese from Gao Sheng's body, and he nodded silently: "I understand Brother Gao's intentions, I wish you a victorious start and a triumphant return!" ”
