Chapter Ninety-One: Swearing
The night breeze caresses, but in this midsummer it is a drop in the bucket, and the hot weather still makes people's hearts hairy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, I saw that on the shore of West Dongting Lake, the black pressure was full of human heads, and it was the 400,000 army of the Chen Dynasty, but at this time, I saw them standing on the spot like sculptures, and everyone's heart was extremely heavy.
Originally, I thought that this time the enemy's grain and grass were intercepted, and they were surrounded and annihilated in one go, but who knew that they were allowed to plan and strike a blow, so that most of the 100,000 Nanchen soldiers were killed in battle, and the most hateful thing was that Ren Mannu actually took the lead in surrendering to the enemy, which undoubtedly seemed to be a slap in their faces, making people feel aggrieved and humiliated.
Wu Mingche looked at the Dongting Lake in front of him in a daze at this time, and saw that the floating corpses on it were floating all over the water, although the blood had begun to fade at this time, it was still so shocking, he couldn't help but blame himself deeply!
Seeing this, Xiao Moke couldn't help but persuade: "Wu Shuai also asks for condolences, besides, this battle is not Wu Shuai's fault, if you want to blame it, you can only blame the barbarian slaves for joining the enemy, and the enemy..."
He wanted to say that the enemy was cunning and abnormal.
But he saw Wu Mingche waving his hand at him and said, "Yuan Yin doesn't have to excuse me, if it weren't for my misjudgment, I wouldn't be here!"
Immediately, he saw him and said: "But if this blood is not settled, I will not be blind even if I die, and I will not inform Chaozhong in advance of this battle." ”
Xiao Moke knew that he was afraid of causing a shock in the court, just as the so-called general will not be subject to the foreign monarch's order, and he must have extraordinary means in extraordinary times, and seeing him recover his fighting spirit, he couldn't help but be happy from the bottom of his heart, but at this time, he shouted loudly: "The last general respects the order!"
At that moment, Wu Mingche ordered someone to bury the corpses of the Nanchen soldiers who died on the shore, and as for the remains of the Northern Zhou soldiers, they were exposed to the wilderness and subjected to the scorching sun and wind and rain, which shows how much hatred he had for the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty!
Then he ordered the soldiers to bring water from the Dongting Lake, and the soldiers of the three armies together picked up the blood and water containing the 30,000 comrades, and swore in the southeast direction: "We swear to kill the barbarians of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to comfort the souls of the brothers in the sky..."
After the "blood water" was discarded, Wu Mingche began to order his subordinates to check whether the enemy had left any clues, and the soldiers hurried away after receiving the order.
After a short time, they came back to report that someone had found that the Northern Zhou soldiers were heading to the southwest, and it was estimated that the time was urgent.
Another person reported: "Judging from the footprints they left behind, they did not carry a lot of supplies...."
After listening to this, Wu Mingche asked Xiao Moke and the others, "What do you think?"
But the Nan Chen generals in the camp did not dare to take the lead in speaking.
Seeing this, Wu Mingche had no choice but to name him, "Chen Sihui, what do you think?"
This Chen Si's retirement from the official worship of General Zuowei is a partial branch of the Chen Dynasty's royal family, and at this time I saw him say: "Qi Wu Shuai, I can't think of retreating, and I haven't come up with any good way!"
Wu Mingche couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart: "It's a shame that your father gave you the name "Thinking of retreating", "thinking about retreating from the enemy" and you are like a straw bag, hey!"
He looked at the others, but those Chen generals couldn't help but lower their heads when they met his gaze, and he felt even more chilled when he saw this, and secretly said, "In the next few decades, no one in this court can lead troops to fight, and the country is not in danger!"
But at this time, he suddenly heard that "the last general has something to say!"
Wu Mingche looked up and saw that it was Xiao Moke, and a wave of hope rose in his heart, nodded approvingly, and motioned him to speak directly.
At this time, Xiao Moke said: "Judging from the situation inquired by the generals, the enemy army does not seem to be in a panic, but retreats in an orderly manner, which seems to have been predict....ed a long time ago."
But those Chen generals couldn't help but scoff at this remark in their hearts, and said in their hearts, "This is equivalent to not saying it!"
But Wu Mingche knew that he would have a later word, and motioned for him to continue.
Xiao Moke continued at this time: "I pounced from the northwest before, but at this time they retreated to the southwest, so please take a look....
Those Nan Chen generals followed his fingers, but finally saw his fingers stop at the position of Lingnan on the battle map.
"This is Lingnan, isn't it?" Chen Sihui, the general of the Left Guard, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw this.
At this time, he saw Wu Mingche glaring at him and said, "What about Lingnan? If we don't kill them all this time, how can we be worthy of those dead brothers!"
Chen Siwei's face turned red when he was drunk, and he couldn't help lowering his head, and the other generals saw that the old man was really angry this time, and their hearts were also tight.
After coming over for a while, he saw Wu Mingche and said: "Since you know the enemy's whereabouts, then you should think about how to kill it, and that general is familiar with the terrain of Lingnan?"
"This...."But seeing that all the generals in the tent are all you look at me, I look at you, Wu Mingche was even more annoyed when he saw this.
But suddenly, Ji Yuanwu, the general of the right guard in the tent at this time, said: "By the way, I remember!"
The Nan Chen generals in the tent all looked at him, and Wu Mingche also said to him: "Oh! What do you remember?"
But when he saw Ji Yuanwu, he bowed to Wu Mingche and said, "Qi Wu Shuai, I suddenly remembered one person I saved, Miao Yunze, he is a Baiyue person."
When Wu Mingche heard this, his face couldn't help but show joy, and he hurriedly said, "Oh! Then where is he now?"
"It's off the books!"
"Okay, please!"
Soon, Miao Yunze was invited to the tent.
Wu Mingche personally helped him to his seat, Miao Yunze was deeply frightened, and his body couldn't help trembling, and the general of the right guard gave him a look, telling him not to worry.
Wu Mingche said softly at this time: "I wonder if Mr. Miao has ever read?"
That Miao Yunze's face turned red and said: "General Qiyu, I have read books for three years and barely know some words. ”
"Oh! That's great! Do you see if you recognize this marching map?"
So Miao Yunze stepped forward, at first he couldn't help but look at one head and two big, but suddenly he blurted out: "I know, I know, this is my hometown!"
Wu Mingche comforted: "Okay! Great, this time I still need to help Mr. Help, after the matter is completed, I have the first two gold thanks, and then you can also retire comfortably in your hometown." ”
Miao Yunze hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, I'll be at ease if I can return to my homeland afterwards!"
Now that he has Miao Yunze as a "guide", Wu Mingche began to arrange it.
He ordered the soldiers to bring only two days' rations, and all of them went into battle lightly, trying to catch Xiao Yichen and their heads, intercepting them, so as to avenge their deep hatred!
However, it was said that Xiao Yichen and the others led 90,000 soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and 20,000 soldiers of Nanchen to retreat in the direction of Lingnan, which was suitable for them to evade Nanchen's pursuit.
After running around day and night, they came to Shi'an County (now part of Guizhou), looking at the lush woods in front of them and the rolling mountains and rivers that seemed to be not far away, a cadre of soldiers in the Northern Zhou Dynasty finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and said in their hearts, "It should be safe now!"
But Xiao Yichen was vigilant, and said secretly, "Why is this forest so quiet, there is not even a birdsong, it's very abnormal!"
So he told Yang Jian and the others, and Yang Jian was also shocked when he heard it, and ordered the soldiers to raise their vigilance on the spot.
But after waiting for a while, there was no movement, and just when Xiao Yichen thought that he was nervous, suddenly there was a shout of killing from all around!
"Kill, ...." I saw many people lift the lawn above their heads and jump out of the ground, and many people also jumped down from the trees, and a large number of people rushed to this side like a tsunami.
Xiao Yichen and they looked at it, it was actually Nan Chen's troops, they were all puzzled in their hearts, how did they catch up?
But at this point, the situation is critical, and it is too late for them to think about it!
In front of them is a small mountain more than five zhang high, behind them is a horse and a flat river of wilderness and meadow, at this time behind them, about 4,000 cavalry took the lead in running towards them, followed by countless Nanchen soldiers, and at this time the mountain peak is also roaring, from the top of the rapid down, there are about 20,000 Chen soldiers.
Xiao Yichen and the others were surrounded by Chen Bing at this time, and the situation was really critical.
At this moment, I suddenly heard Xiao Yichen shouting, "Set up a formation, resist the enemy!"
Like the sound of thunder, the frightened Northern Zhou soldiers woke up, and they all held shields and guns to form a big circle, protecting Xiao Yichen and the others inside.
Although the 90,000 soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the 20,000 troops of the Southern Chen are not too many, it is a bit meager in the face of the 400,000 troops of the Southern Chen.
At this time, Dan saw that Nan Chen Fang beat a ten-sided cowhide drum, knock knock! The sound went straight to the sky, and the earth was shaken, and the Northern Zhou soldiers were shocked in their hearts at this time, and the hands holding the guns couldn't help but tremble.
And the 20,000 Nanchen soldiers in the formation, who had surrendered before, heard the sound of drums at this time, and their hearts were full of gains and losses, both glad that they had caught up, but also ashamed that they didn't know how to face their former comrades-in-arms later.
Ren Mannu's face was also blue and white, and the muscles on his face were shaking.
Yang Jian glanced at him at this time, glanced at Han Baohu, and ordered him to take a good look at him and those surrendered Nanchen soldiers, Han Baohu wanted to say in his heart, "He won't!" but in the end he still compromised under Yang Jian's gaze, and the 20,000 surrendered Nanchen soldiers did not give them weapons at this time, for fear that they would fight back, and the Northern Zhou soldiers would inevitably suffer heavy casualties at that time!
Wu Mingche couldn't help but sneer when he saw that they had actually set up a "round formation", so he immediately said to Xiao Moke and the others: "That general is waiting for me to go and break the formation!"
Xiao Moke, Ji Yuanwu and the others all shouted: "The last general is willing to go!"
Seeing this, Wu Mingche shouted: "Okay! This first moment will be handed over to Yuan Wu!"
"Yes!
