Chapter 117: Madness
Although cannibalism is not uncommon, he is the only one who is proud of cannibalism and smug. Half of the notoriety borne by the rebels was committed by him. ”
Zhao Qinghe continued He Yue's words and said: "Hong Xiangqian was defeated and died, and Lu Yao gathered the remnants and fled south. When they came to Xianling Village, they didn't pass by as advertised, but to join the other two traitor generals on the shore of Xianling Lake. ”
"These two people are Wu Shaoyi, the general of the right account, and Pei Xinyong, the general of Hunshui."
He Yue exclaimed: "When will you be a teacher, how many people are there?" ”
"About tomorrow afternoon, Double Moon Bay. Combined, there were at least four or five thousand people. ”
He Lingchuan felt that their father and son were really unlucky, and they only went out after taking a good look at Huang Li!
Is the yellow calendar fake, the product of which black-hearted workshop?
Whether it is an officer or a thief party, the rout army is often armed and undisciplined, and burning, killing, and looting along the way, which is more terrible than bandits.
In the next few days, the fairy village will be crowded with rebels.
Originally, I heard that the villagers here were all mountain bandits, and the He family father and son still despised them. After all, since ancient times, thieves have not fought with officials, not to mention that their own people are numerous and powerful, and the soldiers will be fierce.
He Lingchuan was even more ambitious because of several life and death adventures before and after, thinking that the wind and waves had come, what was this little trouble?
But now I know that the other party is a rebel general, a notorious cannibal general!
The other side has 1,400 men, and three times as many rebels will arrive tomorrow.
It's like a fisherman trying to catch an eel in the river, jumping into the water and pulling wildly, and pricking it with a fishing fork a few times, only to realize that it was not an eel at all, but the tip of the tail of an Omori oyster!
Is it too late to retract?
He Lingchuan also saw the expressions of the staff beside his father, and he was called a faceless.
If you run away overnight, what is the success rate?
He Lingchuan believes that his father's fighting spirit has also been extinguished, and it is time to start thinking of a way to get out.
The staff immediately said: "If you go down the mountain now, you may be able to rush before the reinforcements of the thief army from Victory Town arrive." ”
Zhao Qinghe shook his head: "That fat man confessed, the thieves in Victory Town have arrived, about seven hundred people, and they are resting at Whistle Rock at this moment, only five miles away from here!" ”
The crowd was shocked.
The 200 thief army plus 700 backup troops has already twice as many as the officers and soldiers.
There are more than 400 people in the Guards Regiment, but only about 300 soldiers can really fight, and the rest are women, children and logistics, and basically have no combat power at all. If they really fight with the rebels, the officers and soldiers will have to be distracted to protect them, which can be said to be a great disadvantage.
Mrs. Ying and Zhu Xiu'er also knew that something was wrong, and their faces were as white as paper.
If the officers and soldiers are defeated, what will happen to them...... It's better to kill yourself.
Hearing these figures, He Chunhua calmed down instead: "If Lu Yao has the advantage, why don't you go to war yet?" He was attacked by Adjutant General Zeng by the lake, but instead of getting angry, he begged me for peace. ”
He was so little, He Yue immediately said: "He also wants to save his troops!" ”
"Since they are going to meet tomorrow, even if these leaders of the defeated army want to sit down with Le Rongrong to drink tea and talk about it, it is estimated that they will have to decide their positions according to their strength. In this situation, Lu Yao will have losses in the fight with our army, and I am afraid that it will affect tomorrow's plan, so I have to be aggrieved. ”
That is to say, He Chunhua's official army and Lu Yao's rebel army are now very delicate.
Both sides want to avoid losses.
He Lingchuan glanced at his younger brother. This second child is still very clever in his mind.
"Then there's still room to maneuver here, not a mortal situation." Staff member Mo Zhe Jingxuan said, "But Lu Yao's so-called peaceful coexistence is probably only a few hours left." ”
"Negotiating peace with him is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger." He Chunhua groaned, "He doesn't want to do it tonight, because he doesn't want his strength to be damaged; But when the three armies gather tomorrow, I'm afraid they will join forces to hunt us down! ”
Is there anything more invigorating than killing an officer and soldier?
These routs may even think that they need a big victory to lay the foundation for the division to succeed.
He Lingchuan's heart sank, and he felt as if he was back on the battlefield in his dreams. Will that kind of despair of being surrounded by enemies and having no bright future be repeated in reality this time?
In this helpless ravine, with 300 warriors against 4,500 people, you still have to win, and the novel doesn't dare to write like this.
At that time, He Chunhua's three hundred people were the victims of the rebels' sacrifice to heaven.
Mrs. Ying couldn't help but interject: "If you can't go now, you can't go tomorrow, so what should I do?" "Do you sit still?
There was silence in the dining room.
If you don't go, you will die, and if you go, you will die, and more than three or four hundred of you have unknowingly fallen into a desperate situation.
If there is no endless road, where is the glimmer of life?
He Lingchuan remembered the battlefield in his dream, when the last line formed by the carriage was about to be broken, what he felt was not that everything was lost, but that he was still glorious even though he died!
They persevered until the end, and finally waited for the uplifting horn.
It's the same now, it's too early to admit it, and there are still a few hours before dawn.
Time is money, and they have a chance to turn it over.
Seeing everyone sitting in the hall, He Lingchuan coughed lightly and said to He Chunhua: "The difference in strength is huge, I'm afraid it's not okay to make a fuss about ourselves." Did Daddy consider using external forces? ”
"The nearest town to us, Victorious, is already under the control of the rebels. If you want to borrow troops, you have to go out again, to Chito Town. I remember that there was the Zhechong Mansion in Hebei, but after the Battle of Woling Pass, I don't know how many soldiers there were in it. He Chunhua took a deep breath, "I'll write a letter for help and send someone down the mountain." If we can make it until tomorrow afternoon, maybe ...... There is hope. ”
"It's not...... Dad, I mean, the rebels are not monolithic, so the two generals surnamed Wu and Pei are very convinced of Lu Yao? Instead of counting on the unreliable Yamashita soldiers, why don't we try to use our strength? Seeing that everyone was staring at him, He Lingchuan laughed dryly, "That's all I thought of, to be added." ”
"Chuan'er, you are ......" He Chunhua's heart flashed, and after thinking about it carefully, his eyes became brighter and brighter, "It makes sense!" Well, that makes sense! ”
He was also confused for a while, intimidated by the number of rebels in Wuyangyang, but he forgot that the first two-thirds of them were not Lu Yao's subordinates! Although they are all rebels, the difference is huge.
He Lingchuan brought out this truth, just like stabbing the window paper, saying that it is worthless, but it is very useful. Mo Zhe Jingxuan extended down his train of thought, and also figured out the key: "Lu Yao gathered an army of 1,400 people, but he only brought more than 200 to Xianling Village, and put the rest in the town, why?" Because this village can't afford to feed so many people! ”
