546. No one should be abandoned
Yu Da Muran received the order, and then rushed into the formation.
He just wanted to kill a few more enemies with his martial arts, so that the soldiers could suffer less damage.
The sounds of shouting and killing, screaming, wailing, and the sound of gold and iron were mixed together, making the battlefield particularly tragic.
The only thing that made Yu Da happy was that Lei Zhenzi was stopped by Li Lie, and he couldn't tell the winner for a while, his fifth brother Yu De was a cultivator, and he could cast spells to make the enemy suffer from pox, he was quite worried that the birdman would have similar spells, and it was not easy to deal with the wind and rain, but he didn't expect it to be reined in, and it was still a mortal martial art.
In fact, Lei Zhenzi couldn't say that he was bitter, so he finally waited for a cultivator, and wanted to use the wind and thunder wings to directly take down Ao Lie and send him back to the West Sea Dragon Palace to ask for his guilt, so that the West Sea Dragon King, who was already biased towards Xiqi, would completely take refuge.
But when I attacked Bishui Pass, I didn't make much effort, and I didn't find out yet, but now when I want to use the spell, I find that the mana is running obscurely, and Ao Lie, who is fighting against him, is obviously very poor in cultivation, and he is stunned to rely on the physique and martial arts skills of the dragon clan, and he has a three-seven fight, and he really can't help it for a while.
Yu Da let go of his hand, killed all over blood, and gradually felt that the Zhou army was in decline, far from sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai just now, it was in the hinterland of the Great Shang, under the onslaught of the Shang army at any cost and countless battle losses, it finally began to be unable to support it.
"Kill!"
Yu Da took the lead, and the army behind him directly pressed on him.
He suddenly found that the three hundred guards who had been guarding the Chinese army had also moved.
These three hundred guards, all of them are broad, powerful, not necessarily the tallest, but must be the fattest, the armor is all specially made iron armor, protected to the face, only the eyes are exposed, the long-handled broadsword is obliquely carried on the back, and the six relatives do not recognize the loyalty and righteousness step forward.
Yu Da couldn't help but smack his tongue, just this size is already a strategic-level army, which can not only scare the enemy, but also give friendly troops a great sense of security.
However, after a while, the three hundred guards tore a hole in the defense line of the Zhou army, which was only a small opening, but it was announcing that the overall situation had been decided.
The Zhou army was already in decline, and even if they didn't give up and resisted, they couldn't resist the vast number of merchant troops.
There was another burst of killing, the morale of the Zhou army collapsed, and some people began to throw down their weapons and run away with their heads in their hands, with the first one, naturally there was a second, a third, and finally the Zhou army collapsed on the whole line.
Yu Da looked at the stumps, broken arms and broken blades all over the ground, and listened to the cries of pain from the wounded soldiers, and his heart was not happy.
It's rightfully won, but is it worth it?
Lei Zhenzi flew away, except for capturing some of the pawns, killing the enemy was nothing, and this battle seemed meaningless.
Oh yes, and the remnants of the rescued Bishui Pass.
The remnants of more than 1,000 soldiers have been chased all the way, how many people are left so far?
Eight hundred, five hundred?
It's certainly not as good as the fallen soldiers.
Yu Da tried hard to squeeze out a smiling face, look, he won the battle, he made meritorious service, and the military function was sealed!
But his efforts failed.
He didn't know what King Su was thinking, maybe only Chonghou Hu in the song could know what happened to this wise and martial king, he only knew now that this was the most disgusting victory in his life.
War is dead, no one can guarantee victory in a hundred battles, even if it is a victory, there will be a large number of casualties, and death in battle is always a common thing.
But you can't save a thousand people and lose ten thousand!
How stupid is that? Can't even tell the difference between the most basic benefits?
Looking at the car driving in the Chinese army, Yu Da had mixed feelings in his heart.
In such a critical situation, the king has panicked, what is he thinking?
There was too much confusion, but Yu Da could only keep the words in his stomach, because at this time, the king of Xuan issued another order, but he didn't even care about the scattered Zhou army, and did not pursue, and directly ordered the whole army to search for the remnants of Bishui Pass on the mountain, and he had to continue to lead the troops up the mountain.
Is there your illegitimate child among the remnants?
...........
Han Sheng and Han Bian were hiding in the mountains with the remnants of the army.
"General, I've got a bird's egg!"
Xiao Liu was covered in mud and held an unknown bird's egg in his hand.
Han Sheng frowned and said, "You can eat it." ”
"A general is a general, and naturally a general eats. Xiao Liu shook his head and just swallowed his saliva.
Everyone was already hungry with their chests on their backs, and when they first escaped from Bishui Pass, Dou Rong arranged everything properly, with plenty of food and grass, and even more could be distributed to the people who moved out.
But then Lei Zhenzi led the army to catch up, and he couldn't run fast with the grain and grass, thinking that the Zhou army would not dare to slaughter the people at the risk of disapproval, so he divided most of the grain and grass, and after settling the people of Bishuiguan, he continued to run with only a few days of food, until he was surrounded on this nameless hill.
At first, they still wanted to defend the mountain, but after waiting for a few days, the Zhou army besieged but did not attack, and everyone understood that this was the Zhou army's desire to use them to attract troops to the west, or to let the guards of each pass divide their troops, so as to facilitate the capture of the next pass.
After they understood that they had become bait, their hearts became extremely entangled, people don't want to die, they want reinforcements to rescue, they want to survive, they are the only remaining defenders of Bishui Pass, carrying Dou Rong, Han Rong and all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to bury the sea of fire.
So no matter how difficult it was, they did their best to survive, instead of sacrificing their lives to delay the survival of Zhou Jun's brothers.
But they were worried that someone would come to the rescue, so they fell for the tricks of the Zhou army, either there was a shortage of troops in the west, or the garrison of the pass became weak.
However, this entanglement only lasted for a few days, and no one seemed to come to save them, Han Sheng and Han Bian also figured it out, the gains of saving them outweighed the losses, and the Zhou army waited for the merchant army to come to the rescue, the merchant army came less, and it couldn't be attacked, and there were too many to come, and there would be problems with the Western Expedition, so they simply didn't save it and left them to fend for themselves.
Give up thousands of people, gain the overall advantage, enter the west, retreat can be stubborn, it is very worthwhile!
And this is what Dou Rong, Han Rong and the others want, right?
"There are no more reinforcements. Han Bian's cheeks were sunken, these days, the bark and grass roots have been eaten, and it is almost to the limit, but he still has the strength to laugh at himself: "If General Dou is still here, he will definitely not come to the rescue, as long as the checkpoint is not lost, the strength of the Western Expedition army is enough, and it is nothing to lose some remnants of the defeated generals, everything is stable." ”
The soldiers sat on the ground one after another, as if accepting the facts, and there was a faint relief on their faces.
The soldiers of Bishui Pass have never lacked the spirit of sacrifice, Dou Rong and Han Rong have already sacrificed for that fire, they are fully capable of sacrificing for the overall situation, if there is no task of moving the people, each of them is willing to fall into the sea of fire with the brothers.
"Little Six. Han Sheng took out the water bag, and there was still half a bag of turbid water in it.
Han Bian also took some wild fruits that he saved, and dozens of soldiers took out food one after another.
"This is..."Xiao Liu was stunned, the bird egg was still in his hand, and he didn't know what the situation was.
Han Sheng said: "You go, go one by one, take these, go down the mountain from the path, you are clever, and you are valued by General Dou, Lei Zhenzi was the way you led when he entered the customs to persuade him to surrender, and he has taken a face, even if he is accidentally caught, he can intercede." ”
Everyone thinks that at least one must live, as the last thought of Bishuiguan.
"I..."
Xiao Liu just came back to his senses, and before he could speak, he heard the sound of footsteps, and his heart was horrified, could it be that Zhou Jun saw that there was no one to support, so he didn't surround and kill directly?
"No, it's my own people!" Han became overjoyed, he had seen Yu Da, the leader, everyone was the second generation!
Xiao Liu didn't care about the bird egg in his hand, took out a big flag from his armor, looked around for a thick branch, hung it high, and shook it vigorously.
This flag is the same as the flag that Dou Rong ordered to set fire to at that time, it is a "business" flag, but when Xiaoliu waved the flag, he did not have the momentum of sacrificing his life for righteousness, and his thin body after being hungry for a few days looked a little funny.
Yu Da stepped forward with people after a while, saw Han Sheng and Han Bian, and found that after some exchanges, there were only 732 people left in the garrison of Bishui Pass.
Looking at these hungry and pale people, but there was no lack of brilliance in their eyes, he was a little conflicted for a while, he could save these remnants, it seemed... It's not bad either.
"Perhaps... No one should be abandoned...."
However, after being slightly stunned, Yu Da shook his head again and again, starting from the overall situation, he still thought that the gains outweighed the losses, and the Tongguan soldiers who died in the battle were far more than the Bishuiguan soldiers saved.
