Chapter 120: Kill or Surrender?
"I'll get out of my car, and I'll be in the pasture."
"From the Son of Heaven, I am here."
"Call his servant, and say it."
"The king's affairs are difficult, and it is difficult to maintain them."
Liu Jian, who was galloping in front of his own battle array, was reading words aloud while crisscrossing his big green horse in the position.
and the soldiers in charge of the guards behind him were a little confused.
Or is it the first time to meet such a general, who is about to win a battle, and opens his mouth to chant on the battlefield, but he doesn't know why?
Is it an expression of feelings, or something else?
Zhang Mancheng died, and the Han soldiers fought hard to chase and stomped on the corpses of countless Yellow Turban soldiers.
The soldiers of the Han army pursued the moth thief while shouting: "Victory!" ”
"Victory!"
The defeated Yellow Turbans gathered into the Yellow Tide swarmed towards the south in a panic, and at this time, the crossbow-wielding officers in the Han army commanded their subordinates to start attacking the fleeing Yellow Turbans with strong crossbows.
The rain of arrows was like locusts, and the continuous screams resounded across the plain, and the Yellow Turban soldiers, who lacked the protection of shields and armor, fell in an instant because of the rain of arrows.
Countless Yellow Turban soldiers were shot in the face, some were shot in the chest and were dying, and some were shot and fell to the ground, Ben was still alive, but was trampled by the crowd of people behind him, and some people were gritting their teeth and continuing to run towards the south even if they were hit by arrows.
"Victory!!"
"Victory!!"
Even though the Yellow Turban Army was completely defeated, the Han army still chased after them like a shadow, slaughtering them, vowing to spread the results to the maximum......
From the middle generals to the ordinary soldiers, everyone knows that such a battlefield is the best time to decapitate and perform meritorious deeds, and there is no battle that can be more fruitful than the military achievements that come from the pursuit of the enemy.
After all, the Great Han counts merit by beheading, and only in this case can the number of beheadings be counted to the highest!
Countless Yellow Turban soldiers dropped their instruments in the face of this tremendous pressure, crouched on the ground with their heads in their hands, and wailed in surrender.
And those Yellow Turban Army, who are unwilling to surrender, are closely followed by the elite cavalry led by the two fierce tigers, carrying out a precise slaughter against them!
A tiger of Jiangdong.
A Nanyang tiger.
"It's Huang Sima!"
"It's Sun Sima!"
Zhang Man became the news of the killing of these two people, and it spread widely, and then, these two Sima became the representatives of the three armies of the Han Dynasty, and now under the charge of these two people, the morale of the Han army was driven up as a whole!
No matter where the Daxu banner embroidered with the names of "Sun Jian" and "Huang Zhong" galloped, it suddenly showed a magnificent and jubilant momentum, causing the Han army to be like a rainbow, but the Yellow Turban Army was demoralized.
In such a situation when the scales were toppling, even if Zhang Mancheng was killed, the battle between the Han army and the Yellow Turban Army lasted for two hours before it ended.
……
……
On the seventh day of the fifth month of the year of Han Jiazi, General Nanzhong Lang led more than 25,000 Sanhe soldiers to break the Yellow Turban Army Zhang Man into 100,000 people in the South Plain, beheaded 8,000 people, and captured more than 40,000 people.
On May 15 of the year of Jiazi of the Han Dynasty, Han Zhong, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, led more than 50,000 moth thieves to attack Wancheng, and sometimes there was Sima Xu Rong ambush troops outside Wancheng, Han Zhong attacked the city, and there were Nanyang County guarding Chu Gong and Jingzhou Thorn Shi Xu Miao guarding according to the barrier.
Wancheng inside and outside the attack, the moth thief was defeated, loyal to the enemy, but a hasty retreat, for Xu Rong to be defeated.
Han Zhong traveled to Baihe, and only 300 of the more than 50,000 people remained, and Zhong was ashamed and landless, and threw himself into the river to die.
On June 13 of the year of Han Jiazi, Nanzhong Lang sent Sun Jian to attack the moth thief and lion beard, defeated his people, and obtained 80,000 stones of grain, 1,000 stones of salt, 500 catties of pig iron, 300 horses, and filled the army.
On June 17 of the year of Jiazi of the Han Dynasty, Nanzhong Lang sent Huang Zhong to attack Tiemei, defeated, Zhong beheaded Tiemei, and the foot soldiers beheaded 800 moths and thieves, and obtained 100,000 stones of grain.
On the fourth day of the seventh month of the year of Han Jiazi, Nanzhong Lang sent Gao Shun and Cheng Pu to lure the thieves Zhao Hong, Huangshan, and Lei Gong out of the county that they refused to defend and fought in Zaoyang.
Shi Hongjun was in Nanyang Dawu, the ordnance and armor were neat, the Han army could not fight, Liu Jian wanted to go forward with a sword and fight with the thief, and he desperately blocked his subordinate Zuojun Sima.
When Liu Jian threw his pocket on the ground, he said: "I am entrusted by the monarch, if I am defeated by the moth thief, I will return to Beijing without shame, and I will be ashamed of the Kwantung fathers, and I should cut off my head and throw it here!" If you are defeated today, starting from this general, all the armies will be killed! ”
After that, Thrifty stood in the front, stuck his sword on the ground, and instructed his attendants to wait for the three armies to retreat and behead Thrifty.
The morale of the Han army was greatly boosted, and they vied to the death to attack and kill the moth thieves.
From time to time, Huang Zhong, Cheng Pu, Sun Jian, Gao Shun and other generations are all brave to move forward, willing to risk arrows and stones, and are not afraid of thousands of blades!
The Hongjun army was defeated, retreating more than 30 miles, Zhao Hong and Huangshan were all killed, only Lei Gong led a hundred horsemen to flee, and his whereabouts are unknown.
So far, after more than two months, the yellow turbans in Nanyang are flat.
……
After the Nanyang Yellow Turban was pacified, Liu Jian wrote a recital to neglect He Jin, and collected his troops in Wancheng and waited for dispatch in Beijing.
At the same time, Liu Jian also sent people to Ruying and Hebei to inquire about the news of Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi respectively.
The battlefield opened up by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun was relatively close to the Nanyang battlefield, and Liu Jian wanted to hear their news relatively quickly.
The Yellow Turban commander in charge of the Yingchuan War was Zhang Jiao's henchman Dafangqu Shuai Bocai, who was a rare capable person in the Yellow Turban Army.
Later Emperor Fu Song and Zhu Jun retreated to Changshe, lured Bocai to besiege the city, and then broke it with arson and drums.
Bocai was defeated and left, and Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Cao Cao and others led troops to pursue, and won successive battles.
Huangfu Song in order to deter the Yellow Turban Xiaoxiao, after the battle of Changshe, first killed the Yellow Turban Army, and built the Beijing Temple as a deterrent, Ruying Gaomen celebrities, all praise Huangfu Song.
Huangfu Song said that the size of the Changshe Jingguan is small, and if it turns to Hebei the next day and confronts Zhang Jiao's headquarters, it should build a Beijing view of 100,000 people.
As for the frontal battlefield where Lu Zhi is located in the north, because it is far away, there is no news to Liu Jian's place yet.
……
But it was at this time that Sun Jian came to advise Liu Jian.
After Sun Jian saw Liu Jian, he said bluntly: "The last official heard that the general placed 40,000 troops in the four gates of Wancheng Urn City, and asked the general to be sentenced and settled by the imperial court, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
"Yes."
Liu Jian answered Sun Jian's question very calmly: "What's wrong?" ”
Sun Jian shook his head and argued: "The general has heard that General Huangfu beheaded all the Yellow Turban prisoners in Changshe, and built a Beijing temple to deter thieves in Zhuzhou. ”
"Hmm!"
Liu Jian picked up the water and took a sip: "I heard, it is really majestic, admired by 10,000 people, in the future, General Huangfu led his troops to Hebei to fight with the main army of Zhangjiao, if he can win, he will definitely build a bigger Jingguan." ”
The so-called Jingguan is a high mound built by generals in ancient times in order to show off their martial arts, and sealed the corpses or heads of enemies.
The so-called success of a thousand bones withered, the value embodied in the Jingguan is to refer to this aspect.
Sun Jian hurriedly said: "I waited in Nanyang Zhu except Zhang Mancheng's department of 100,000, 40,000 prisoners, the merit is not under the Huangfu general, now Huangfu Song in the Changshe to build a Beijing view, Zhang Xian martial arts, famous all over the world, why didn't the general build a Beijing view, but also to show martial arts, show the might of the three armies?" ”
Liu Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "What does Wentai mean is to kill the more than 40,000 soldiers, plus the bones of the yellow turbans killed in the past, to build a view of Beijing?" ”
"The last official has this intention, these more than 40,000 moth thieves descend to the crowd, all of them are rebellious thieves! If you don't kill, how can you warn the world? Staying in Wancheng, it is easy to cause mutiny, not to mention, it also costs money and food, if the general is unwilling to kill too much, the last official is willing to act in place of the general! ”
Liu Jian slowly put down the water in his hand and said indifferently: "But, Wentai is a few days late in talking about this matter, and I have already sent someone to Luoyang to present it to General Heda."
"From the day I entered the Luoyang Office, these more than 40,000 people have nothing to do with our army,"
"Now they are the subordinates of General He, or the subordinates of the imperial court, if they want to kill or chop, it is up to the imperial court to kill them, I have no right to kill them again, and I have no right to build any Jingguan."
