Chapter 16 Righteousness does not want to exist
August 16, 385 A.D. Blue Mountain Fort
General Hua, how many men and horses are there in our army at present?
Now Xiao Yi is already quite embarrassed, after all, he hasn't slept well all night. Moreover, it is quite inconvenient to leave the city for expeditions, bathing, eating, and living. As a king of Liang who has lived in the palace for a long time, he is in a very bad mood at the moment.
His Royal Highness the King of Yuliang, at present, our army has been retracted. There are still about 50,000 horses in the Blue Mountain Fort, which is still about twice the number of Yan Thief soldiers and horses. As long as our army corrects for two days, wait for the soldiers to recover their physical strength. Our army will definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on the swallow thieves.
Hit the swallow thief hard?
Xiao Yi's tone was extremely unkind, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if a dead corpse was going crazy. The wooden chairs rattled by him, making all the generals present breathless. The knife-cut face that no one dared to face was full of anger, and he was about to choose someone to kill.
The widow worked hard to mobilize 150,000 elites in Xingzhou, how much money did it cost to pay for food and military salaries? Could it be that the taxes paid by the people of my criminal state, and the military salaries that were painstakingly raised on the Widow's Day, were poured into the river?
As soon as you fight against the Yan army, you have all become greedy for life and afraid of death, and none of you dare to kill the enemy? Unexpectedly, he was defeated and retreated, and he was humiliated.
You say, why are you spending so many gold coins to support you? Yes? Do? What can you do?
Xiao Yi couldn't suppress the fire and roared for a long time, but the generals in the audience were still silent. But the heart has been flooded. No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, you must command them properly to defeat the enemy.
Obviously, it is you, who blindly rejoices in great achievements, causing people to be sleepy and lacking, and using the shortcomings of our army to attack the enemy's strengths.
Others, just think. Now that the morale of the swallow thieves is strong, our army is defeated and weak, and this Blue Mountain Fort may not be safe. I still have to retreat to Yangjun City as soon as possible to be safe.
Your Highness, it is because our army has used too much manpower and material resources. I can't retreat like this, I, Hua Dingshan, am willing to take the head of Xiang Shang as a guarantee, fight the Yan thief to the death, and swear not to turn back.
Although Hua Dingshan also felt dissatisfied with Xiao Yi, the king of Liang, but the veteran general on the battlefield, the concept of loyalty and patriotism all his life, the Xiao royal family, especially the Xianwu Emperor Xiao Tong, rewarded his emperor.
Let him move forward at this time, when everyone wants to go backwards and survive.
The good general of the country, General Hua. If this battle is won, the lone general will personally play the Son of Heaven. Named you the military marquis of Yangjun, and gave you a beautiful house.
Seeing Hua Dingshan's performance, Xiao Yi finally suppressed his anger. He began to make a vow again. However, the reward of the military marquis was a big surprise to all the generals present.
Since the opening of the dynasty by Taizu, many of the founding generals have become kings of the opposite sex. As a result, later Taizong was full of anger from these powerful people, and he was unable to implement his own new policy.
Therefore, Taizong once sang and danced at a banquet of the vassal king, and secretly used swords and axes. Kill more than a dozen kings of the opposite sex at one time, and then implicate the nine clans. Tens of thousands of people were killed.
Since then, only the Xiao family in the Great Ji Empire can be crowned king. The military marquis is the highest title of the general, which is divided into three grades.
Hearing the reward of the military marquis, many generals secretly regretted it.
However, when I think of the war situation, I still feel terrified. This title is not easy to get, but the reward of the military marquis is too tempting.
General Hua is really heroic, but, Your Highness. At present, the situation of the enemy and us is unknown, will His Highness return to Yangjun City first, and then mobilize reinforcements to reinforce General Hua?
Finally, some red-eyed generals mentioned this poisonous plan. But these words also happened to Xiao Yi's heart.
If you protect the safety of your master, you will basically not be taken as a negative statement. However, at this time, it is recommended that Xiao Yi return to the city, and he will inevitably take a large number of troops with him, especially those who have not suffered much losses in the first place.
The Central Guard Army was originally the army of guards guarding Xiaoyi, and this time it went to the battlefield. Attack and kill the enemy forward, endure hardships and hardships, and resolutely refrain from doing it.
However, the first few times he captured the enemy's camp, he rushed forward as soon as possible, and snatched the spoils in the name of offering treasure to Xiaoyi. Originally, many generals were already preparing to join forces with several generals of the Chinese Protector Army.
But at this moment, Tu Hejin led the team to burn the grain and grass of the Yan army. This forced them to swallow their grievances.
And at this time, withdraw again. There is almost no doubt that the Central Protector Army was the first to withdraw, and it was a member of the Southern County who made this suggestion, and he was not of high rank, so he naturally wanted to sell the Central Protector Army, thinking if he could take the door and enter the Central Protector Army.
His Royal Highness is a royal expedition this time, how can he move lightly. His Royal Highness is not here, the people are uneasy, the morale is turbulent, the Yan army is coming to attack at this time, and our army will be defeated.
Naturally, those present were all old military ruffians who had been in the officialdom for a long time, and they figured out how powerful this place was in a moment. There was an argument.
However, no matter how loud the argument is, it is not they who make the decision. Fleeing, fighting, and flying flesh and blood only awakened Xiao Yi's terrifying memories many years ago, and he did not ignite the slightest sense of war. Naturally, there will be henchmen and generals who will be able to receive his hints.
Even though Hua Dingshan and other generals asked repeatedly, Xiao Yi still took nearly 20,000 elites, and now in the Blue Mountain Fort, except for the elite soldiers of Hua's tribe and Yang County, they are already extremely weak.
Whether this battle can be won, Hua Dingshan has no hope in his heart. But the frontal fight is still the fate of a veteran like him, and dying on the battlefield may be a terrible thing for others, but for him, it is just an ordinary thing.
Xiao Yi also gave him some sweetness first, Hua Ming escorted him back to Yang County this time, as long as he returned to Yang County, he would be transferred to the Dragon Guard. Promoted to lieutenant general. This promotion is both a reward and a threat.
As soon as he thought of this, disgust rose in Hua Dingshan's heart.
If he could, he really wanted to be free of all this disgusting politics. The soldiers around him shed their blood for them, but they were never trusted. Hua Dingshan didn't know what he was loyal to Xiao all his life, what was it for?
It seems that I was born from the beginning. was told to serve the Empire. Kill the enemy and defend your homeland. Loyal to the first, that year, the rebellion of the city.
He was suppressing bandits in Yangjun, and suddenly Xiao Yi and his father came to Yangjun, gathered all the generals, and went to Jiangjun to claim the emperor, and he had not received news from Yecheng for a long time. Xingzhou was originally ruled by King Liang, so at the time of Emperor Wu's death.
He can only be loyal to Xiao Yi and others. At that time, Xiao Yi swore an oath to all the generals of the criminal state. He will expel Hu Lu and return the capital to the city. At that time, the blood was surging, and I still seemed to be able to feel it vaguely.
At that time, An Sishun went south, and he fought countless battles with it. The elite of Yangjun also began to become famous all over the world from that time. Although, the Yan Army's iron cavalry is strong. But as long as the army is properly trained and the formation is tight. Equipped with long weapons such as spears and hook and sickle guns, the Yan army could not take advantage.
Later, a long sword with more than half a zhang appeared, and Hua Dingshan personally led a sharp pawn to kill, slashing people and horses. When he was killed, he even took off his armor and chased the horse with men.
This is the Iron Sword Army that he is proud of, and now, there are only more than a thousand people. has also gone to guard Xiao Yi together.
Later, I don't know when, I went out of the city to kill the enemy less. The walls of this Yang County are getting taller and thicker, and there are more and more bridgeheads like the Blue Mountain Fort. The Yan army's rush and killing also became more and more fragile each time.
Even, you only need to send the following generals to solve it.
And now, the battle has come to this point? The white temples made Hua Dingshan a little doubtful, can he leave the battlefield this time?
Or rather, what is life for?
And just like that, an afternoon, plus an evening just passed.
Hua Dingshan walked out of the handsome tent and looked at the godless eyes outside, and his clothes and armor were dirty. The city where weapons fell everywhere, he knew, this battle. You can't win on your own.
This army is no longer the warrior who followed his thousands of troops and horses like Mount Tai back then, and can still wield a spear and knife without changing his face. It's just a group of abandoned remnants of the defeated army. Just like yourself.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am your Yang County commander, deputy marshal of the Northern Expedition, Huading Mountain. The Yan army is now coming with the momentum of thunder, and the Blue Mountain Fort City is small and broken, and it must not be defended.
The Yan army slaughtered our brothers and wanted to make your wives and daughters prostitutes and children slaves. plunder your gold and silver, and occupy your land. Today's battle is not an attempt to survive.
I Huading Mountain, I don't want to die in this dilapidated city. I will stain the blood of my enemies with my sword.
This battle is not for the king, but for the homeland, wife and children. If you want to follow me, go out of the city.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Huading Mountain, see the scene at this moment. He seemed to understand somewhat what he was fighting for. But he didn't understand, but he knew. His final battle is coming.
Even though morale has recovered, the more than 20,000 soldiers are definitely not the opponent of the Yan army. Judging from the previous few days of fighting, the generals on the opposite side are definitely the best of the masters, but victory or defeat no longer matters.
