Chapter 180: Martyrdom
The arrows were lost, more than 10,000 arrows were lost, and almost all the arrows in the Lu Guobing reserve were all vented on Liu Yan's chariots.
From time to time, you can see that the arrow is lost at a tricky angle through the array on the Jibei soldiers, one person is hit by the arrow, the array is broken, and the rest of the formation is also hit by the arrow.
Liu Yan's Hu Shi couldn't bear it anymore and persuaded Liu Yan:
"General, let's withdraw. If you continue to fight, the brothers will have to fold here! What's more, this way of dying now is too embarrassing. ”
But no, they'd rather fight with thieves than wait for death here.
Liu Yan looked at the alternating horse team in front of the car formation with hatred, only to see that the horse team of the thief army showed good riding skills, and after shooting in the front row, he directly bypassed the front of the formation, and vacated the cavalry team prepared behind him.
He was not reconciled, these brothers were all brothers and sisters with him, and he did not know how long it took to form a kindness, and now he looked at the river beach full of blood and arrows, and some of the brothers behind the cart were empty. But what can he do Liu Yan?
Withdraw troops?
First of all, he Liu Yan's belief can't do this kind of thing, so he said that he would withdraw at this moment, and a big rout would come immediately. When the time comes, the death will be even worse than it is now.
Liu Yan will never forget the scene when he and his hometown children went to northern Xinjiang to practice the watch for the first time when they encountered the Xianbei people. At that time, they went north along the bank of the Jumashui River to the right Beiping County to govern the earth, preparing to join the border army there. But on the way, they were attacked by Xianbei Rangers who had burst in from Upper Valley County.
At that time, the heaviest casualties were the retreat, and since then, Liu Yan has known that he must not leave his back to the cavalry, because that is to pronounce death. His Liu Yan's military experience has been summed up from this kind of pile of dead people again and again, so how can there be any natural famous general, but he just gets up from the pile of dead people again and again.
But the truth is this, but the current situation is that the defense line can no longer be maintained, and those empty cars cannot defend against the opposite charge at all.
He unconsciously looked at the ferry to the west, wondering, why hadn't he finished retreating for so long?
The same doubts also stayed in Dai Qi's heart.
At this time, he had already taken Chen Qi, the prime minister of Jibei, on the boat. He didn't play any tricks of humility, but got on board in the first wave. After all, his master is still sick, so let the sick get on the ship first.
Immediately following on the boat was Wang Chen, a lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, who took his soldiers on another boat. He was going to call the boatman to leave directly, but he saw Dai Qi raising the Jibei national flag on the boat, and knew that Dai Qi still wanted to take those soldiers away.
Wang Chen scolded Dai Qi for being pedantic, and asked the boatman to drive the boat out of Jindu first, so that he could leave first when the time came. As for now, he can only listen to Dai Qi's command.
But after several minds of the Chinese army got on the boat, the rhythm of the whole ship slowed down.
On the one hand, it is indeed an objective factor. This Tsuto is a temporary pier that can only dock two boats at a time. After Dai Qi and Wang Chen got on a boat, they needed to drive out to the center of the river and change to two empty boats, which was naturally slow.
But on the other hand, it is caused by rushing to get on board. As the main body of the army got on the boat first, the soldiers below could not suppress these soldiers, and they often swarmed up, and people were constantly being squeezed into the water, because they knew that they could only get on two boats at a time, and whoever got on the boat first would be safer.
No order is worse than any order.
So after a moment passed, except for the first two boats that were used by Dai Qi and Wang Chen, the others were still blocked on the dock.
Dai Qi waited in the cabin for a long time and asked several times about the withdrawal of the army, but was told that it was not yet. In the end, I couldn't help it, and finally got on the deck, and when I looked down, it was a mess.
He immediately commanded at the top of his throat:
"All the people are not according to the organization, the boatman is in charge, and when there are twenty people, the boat will be sailed."
With Dai Qi's scheduling, the remnants of the Jibei Kingdom gathered on the dock were a little orderly, and then they were arrested, boarded, and sailed. For a while, ten boats full of remnants had gathered in the middle of Wenshui, ready to set off. However, on the east bank of Wenshui, there are still more than 500 people still anxiously waiting to get on the boat.
Zhou Feng is down there, he is different from ordinary people, he knows how to win the hearts of people, so he stays on the dock to maintain order.
In the distance, Dai Qi on the river was also anxiously looking at the resumption maintained by Liu Yan, and there was constantly a rain of black arrows smashing on his position, and the wails of those arrows could reach him.
Dai Qi muttered:
"It's going to be really not easy."
For a while, the blood and qi surged, and ordered the soldiers to beat the cowhide drum on the ship to boost the morale of Liu Yanbu, who was struggling in the distance.
Suddenly, on the Wen River, the drums shook the sky, and even the rain of locusts and arrows of the Taishan army on the opposite side was stagnant.
But an unexpected scene appeared in Dai Qi's eyes.
I saw that the drums were beating loudly on his side, and several docked ferries on the side began to pull their horns and began to retreat against the water.
Dai Qi was stunned, what is going on? I'm beating a drum, not a gold.
He hurriedly asked the soldiers to wave the flag and stop the ships, but it was completely useless. When he was left without a master by this change, the soldiers who were looking from afar on the side suddenly grabbed Dai Qi, pointed to the east, opened his mouth wide, and couldn't say a word.
But he didn't need to say it, because Dai Qi also saw the situation in the east.
I saw that the enemy headquarters that had stayed in the east of Daqi actually poured out, the banner was unfurled, and the armor soldiers rushed sideways. They passed behind the chariot array built by Liu Yan, and they didn't sneak attack them, and came straight to the dock.
The Jibei soldiers who were still on the east bank had long lost the courage to resist, and they subconsciously ran down the Wenshui and wanted to swim to the other side, but the heavy armor on their bodies became their lifeline at the moment. They keep shedding their weights in the water, but how many of them can do it in such a stressful situation?
For a time, Wenshui kept floating with drowning Jibei soldiers.
Zhou Feng no longer performed the drama of the integration of officials and soldiers, and took a few soldiers, as well as his brother-in-law Yan Ling, and quickly got on a boat, and then did not wait for the people behind him to get on, propped up the boat, and fled for his life.
This will be the main general to run, jump into the river to escape and have no courage, then the only thing left is to kneel and surrender. On the horse's head, the Jibei soldiers, who had no other choice, finally put down their blades and surrendered to the rushing Taishan soldiers.
Fortunately, they did not meet Ding Sheng's troops, otherwise they would have died if they surrendered.
Looking at the soldiers descending in the wind, Dai Qi on the ship covered his face with his sleeves in shame, and he cried:
"My lord, all of them are incompetent, and they have ended up in such a situation."
Dai Qi glanced at Chen Qi, who was still unconscious, put the crown on the ground, and then took advantage of the soldiers' inattention to jump from the boat into Wenshui.
He will be martyred.
But Dai Qi did not die in the end, because he was pulled back onto the boat by the soldiers with fishing nets. After the soldiers on the ship rescued Dai Qi, they didn't wait any longer, and followed the other boat in the opposite direction. A total of eleven boats, carrying the only remaining more than 100 people in Jibei Kingdom, left this nightmare land.
Dai Qi lay on the deck, remembering the poem when he remembered it, he was like a tiger, and he was full of clothes. And now he is panicked like a defeated dog, his friends are dead, the life and death of the master are unknown, the future is dark, and he is sad and crying.
But no one cared about him anymore, and looking at the tragic scene that was gradually getting farther away, the soldiers on the ship had only joy and joy in their hearts to escape and ascend to heaven.
The water was mixed with red blood, and the dock was littered with stumps and broken arms.
The war is almost over here. The survivors of Jibei Kingdom were grateful for the mercy of the thieves and sadly cleaned their robes. The compound road made of chariots has also been broken, and the corpses that have been missed by arrows can be seen nowhere to be seen.
But the war was not over, because Liu Yan still led more than 50 soldiers to resist stubbornly on this chariot. The "Liu" flag is still fluttering in the east of Wenshui. And around these Jibei soldiers, more and more Taishan soldiers surrounded them. The reason why they haven't attacked yet is because Zhang Chong hasn't given the order yet.
Zhang Chong, who was in the back, admired this Han general, and reason told him that such a general, and he had already fought in this situation, most of them would not surrender. But love only got up, Zhang Chong still asked Guo Zu on the side to go up and persuade him to surrender.
Guo Zu separated the encirclement and walked to Liu Yan's small formation.
Looking at the solemn Han generals of this iron tower, Rao Yi Guo Zu's disdain for the Han Court also had to sigh:
"What a good man."
Guo Zu said to Liu Yan under the Broken Army:
"My family Qu Kui, I admire the general as a person, as long as you can rest assured of the blade, you can live."
Half loud, the enemy formation did not speak.
But the remaining Han soldiers all looked at their main general, wanting to hear what Liu Yan meant.
Choose to live or die.
At this moment, the pressure fell on Liu Yan.
Liu Yan was in a trance, he was recalling the first half of his life.
He is from a declining clan, Liu Fei, the eldest son of Gaozu Liu Bang. Originally, the ancestor was also a prince, but only a generation was removed because of the rebellion against the country, and now although he Liu still bears the name of a clan, he has long been annihilated in the Shu people, and there is not much difference from the ordinary Qianshou.
He didn't read much, but he respected the readers, because he felt that these people were all sages and sages, and they were reasonable, for example, he once met a scholar surnamed Tian in northern Xinjiang, and said something like this to him:
"Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather."
He didn't understand at the time, isn't it all the same when he dies? What difference can be. But now that he understands, if he chooses to live at this moment, then he will be a sinner in the family, an unfaithful courtier, and an unfilial rebel. And if he chooses to be born, then he will be sublimated and leave a name in history. At that time, he died, but he was still alive, living in the memory of his family and in the sacrifices of the Han court.
Therefore, Liu Yan firmly shouted to the thief on the opposite side:
"In my Han family, there are only generals who died in battle, and there are no generals who surrendered."
Its voice is like a golden stone, and there is the sound of a golden iron horse.
Guo Zu understood the meaning of the other side's death, so he turned around and looked at Zhang Chong, and when he saw that Zhang Chong vomited two, he shouted to Liu Yan again:
"My family Qu Kui, I want to know the name of the general."
Liu Yan laughed when he heard this, and said angrily:
"Wait for the thieves to listen to me, a certain family is Liu Younian of Lu County, the northern country of the Han Dynasty."
After saying this, Liu Yan said to the brothers:
"I'll go to Taishan Mansion to wait for the brothers first, and when we get to the underworld, let's be brothers again, and then make contributions to my Han Dynasty."
Finally, Liu Yan shouted:
"The Great Han is mighty."
Kill yourself on the spot.
