Chapter XVIII: Victory
In the next few days, Lingwu often went to see Yue Mountain, and the people below knew that the mansion master favored him. I didn't dare to stop it, but I just strengthened my vigilance. He Jian also followed, bringing food to Yue Shan every time.
"Yue Shan, I'm curious to know, why are you rebelling? And why did you lose? ”
Yue Shan ignored the others, and said a few words to Lingwu: "I knew that I was going to die in the past two days, but I calmed down and thought about it, we are still too anxious." If more samurai were trained in a few years, this might not be the result! ”
"You taught those samurai?"
"Of course, slaves can't become samurai if they don't have the skills to practice. In fact, many of them are very good, and with a little instruction, they can quickly become samurai. I'm too anxious, if I wait a few more years in the mountains and train hundreds or thousands of samurai, where will this end? My Yue Shan's life is not worth much, but it's a pity that there are so many brothers and sisters, this defeat will be miserable for them, and the lives of more than a million people" Yue Shan looked up to the sky and sighed: "I'm sorry for you." ”
"It's not that serious, as long as they don't rebel, who will kill them"
"You are a child, what do you know? They are the devils, and they are afraid of killing? They never treated slaves as human beings. ”
Lingwu was silent, he was speechless. Yes, aren't the owners of Hongning Mansion and the slave owners who killed Xia Yu's family the devil?
"Could it be that all samurai are devils? I don't believe it."
"When you grow up, you may become a devil too, but I hope you won't" Yue Shan stopped talking, glanced at him, and then closed his eyes and ignored him.
Lingwu walked back slowly, muttering to himself as he walked, "Will I grow up to be a devil-like person?" ”
It was not calm outside the city, and the shouts and the sound of rushing and killing rose again and again for a while, and it was not calm because Yue Shan was captured, but became more intense. There were red blood stains everywhere on the riverside, and the river water was dyed red, reflecting the flying snow, which was particularly dazzling. That morning, the enemy launched another charge at the bridgehead, and the constant shouts of killing suddenly stopped as if someone had pinched the neck. A wooden stake was erected at the head of the bridge, and a man was tied to it, and everyone knew who it was. Both sides were silent, only to hear a loud shout: "I'm He Jian, you guys desperately want to save him, right?" I have taken his life today, and I will see how you can save him. ”
"Brothers and sisters, go to the south and leave me alone. After the convergence, go to the mountain, I will die without ......" Yue Shan's voice was broken before he finished speaking, because the sword flashed, a human head fell to the ground, and the other side suddenly cried and wailed. Someone threw the head into the river, and countless people jumped into the water on the bridge, and I don't know how many drowned. Those people actually found Yue Shan's head and brought it to the other side.
Sporadic battles are still happening, but the big desperate is gone. There were people crying on the other side all day, and the voices could be heard here. By the next morning, shouts were heard outside the city: "The enemy withdraws, the enemy withdraws." "Everyone rushed to the castle tower and to the river, and found that after the night there was no one on the other side of the river. Everyone rushed to tell each other, right by the river, right under this city, everyone has been fighting hard for half a year. The days of millions of people and horses pressing the city are not easy, everyone is worried every day, and now it is finally better.
Zhao Wu was also in a very good mood, he summoned all the warriors, commanders, commanders, etc., and set up a banquet on the Tiantai Consulate. After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Wu stood up, pressed his hands to the table, and everyone fell silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have more than 100,000 people and more than 500,000 mobs fighting against each other by the Zishui River for more than half a year. With a loss of less than 5,000, I defeated the enemy, captured the enemy's head alive, and killed all the enemy's samurai and above, a great victory! ”
"Congratulations, my lord, my lord's clever calculation, heroic and invincible" Everyone was excited, thinking that they would also have a share of the credit, everyone was happy, and they worked hard to pat Zhao Wu's ass, doing this is much easier than fighting on the battlefield.
"Hmph, well, I'm doing something. But well, it's not my kick that is good, can you He Zhan catch him? ”
"Lord of the Mansion, where did I catch the enemy leader, it is clear that you beat him down, I He Zhan just lifted him up, he let the Lord kick, and he can't move."
"However, this victory mainly depends on everyone's hard work, your credit is not small, I will tell Lord Zhang, ask for credit for you, this time Hongning Mansion is over, there will definitely be a lot of poor commanders, lords and the like, I will arrange arrangements for you at that time." As for the so many slaves in Hongning Mansion, how much depends on everyone's ability. Haha, I can't care about this so much. ”
"We are willing to go south with the general and set foot in Hongning Mansion. May the captured beautiful warriors be presented to your lords," He Jian knelt in the middle and saluted Zhao Wu to toast.
"We are willing to go south with the general and set foot in Hongning Mansion. May the captive beautiful warriors be sacrificed to the adults, and they will never give up."
"He Jian, He Zhan, Lu An, and Zishan, the four of you have the greatest credit, well, and the spiritual martial arts are also very great. The others also have a lot of credit, and I have a great reward afterwards. Now that the enemy's hearts are scattered, it is a good opportunity for me to pursue southward. Let's act now, everyone remember, we will chase after the enemy when he retreats, and we will retreat when the enemy returns. ”
"Obey" everyone responded loudly.
Zhao Wu divided all the teams in the whole palace into two teams, Zhang Zishan and He Jian led the front team, and he personally led the rear team, chasing the enemy all the way. The mob was leaderless and scattered, unable to organize any decent resistance, and was on the verge of collapse. All the way, it was like a wolf chasing a flock of sheep, capturing countless slaves. In this way, the chase stopped, the chase stopped, and the three months passed soon.
On this day, the Fu Mian army had passed the two collars of Hongning Mansion, and He Jian's forward was less than three hundred miles away from Hongning City. In the middle of the night, the ground suddenly shook, and He Jian thought that an enemy was coming to steal the camp, so he hurriedly gathered the army to prepare for defense. But he saw that the torches in the sky were less than a mile away from him, and they turned to the east, and the number of people was so great that he had never seen them. Zhao Wu's rear army also quickly caught up, because in the night, the situation was unknown, so they did not dare to move rashly, and waited for dawn.
The next day, the scouts who had been mixed up came back, and Lao Yuan shouted: "Hongning City is broken, Hongning City is broken." The enemy fled. ”
Zhao Wu hurriedly summoned the scouts to inquire, only to know that it was his father-in-law who led the army to the north, had defeated the mob in the south, and had broken through Hongning City a few days ago, and it was the mob of Hongning City that fled east last night.
