Chapter 79 Wolves(2/2)
More than a hundred people of the Shu army fell on the spot.
Then people from all directions gathered together to attack...
That glimmer of fire disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
Gradually, the Shu army could no longer hold on.
They are upright warriors, not wolves in the dark.
"All armies assemble, follow the sound of drums and head south!"
The voices of Shu people also came from the darkness.
The majestic war drums sounded, followed by the sound of dense footsteps.
The armies gathered together and headed south according to the sound of drums. Are they about to retreat?
Yang Zheng felt great joy in his heart.
The sound of drums and footsteps gradually drowned out the Qiang people's wolf howls.
The dense array also made the Qiang people's sneak attacks ineffective.
"The Shu people have been defeated, so we can take advantage of the situation to pursue them!" Several Qiang chiefs became interested again.
During the battle just now, Yang Zheng did not forget that they had been hiding behind them.
The only one who can truly be trusted is Jiang Fane.
Only the lower-class Qiang people can be regarded as brothers in life and death.
The existence of these people will always be one of the unstable factors.
Without them, it would be impossible for the Qiang people to unite around them!
Could it be that the turmoil of the Qiang people for hundreds of years was not instigated by ambitious people?
Yang Zheng couldn't help but have evil thoughts in his heart, "Okay!"
Then he led everyone south.
Seeing that they were about to approach the Shu army, several Qiang chiefs retreated behind them again. Yang Zheng did not let them go this time and said sternly: "The armies fought bloody battles and suffered numerous casualties. You usually enjoy wealth and honor, how can you fall behind others today?"
On a normal day, Yang Zheng would definitely not be able to say such heartless words.
But today there was too much killing, and my heart turned into a sword.
"Why, didn't you hear what I said?" Yang Zheng sneered solemnly.
Several people looked at each other, and one person said: "Does the captain want to kill them all?"
This man is not stupid either.
At this moment, they are already flesh and blood, and Yang Zheng is a sword.
"No, I am giving you a chance! Brothers of life and death, how can we not see life and death? Those who advance live, those who retreat die. This is a military order!"
Several people were shocked, but because of the influence of Yang Zheng's kind appearance a few days ago, they all didn't believe it and remained motionless.
If you don't cherish the opportunity given, no wonder you are ruthless.
In fact, as long as they draw their swords and step forward bravely, Yang Zheng will stop them.
Bloody people are not difficult to get along with.
And people who are contentious are always a hidden danger.
You can't always let others go forward and fight hard, and let them enjoy the results of victory from behind, right?
After waiting for a few more breaths, no one moved.
Yang Zheng's patience reached its limit, "Behead!"
After giving the order, the soldiers did not hesitate. The swords struck them randomly, and those people screamed and turned into a pile of flesh.
There were a few more dead souls in the dark night.
Yang Zheng's kindness is true, but it depends on when and who is the target.
The Shu army gathered and headed south.
Yang Zheng had been fighting for almost a day, and he was already exhausted. He could not gain much benefit from pursuing anymore.
If it gets brighter and you can't retreat even if you want to, it's better to rest and observe the changes.
In fact, it would be the wisest thing for the Shu army to retreat at this time.
Even if they survive the dawn, both men and horses are trapped and suffer heavy casualties, how can they face the encirclement and suppression from surrounding counties?
There are not only Guo Huai and Xiahou Ba in Longyou, but also Deng Ai, Hu Fen, Pang Hui and other generals.
If there are changes in Longxi, Liangzhou in the north and Chang'an in the east will definitely not turn a blind eye.
Just like during Wu Hou's first Northern Expedition, Zhang He's 50,000 cavalry rushed to the rescue from Chang'an, broke through the street pavilions, and took the Shu army's rear route.
Yang Zheng was sleepy, tired and exhausted, and fell asleep on the battlefield without knowing it.
I felt like I had just squinted my eyes when I was woken up by the soldiers and it was already dawn.
The Qiang people are fighting for things on the battlefield.
Jiang Fane, Duan Da, Yin Chun, and Zhou Fang each led their troops and stood in front of them.
There was a bit more admiration in his eyes.
The Qiang people looked at Yang Zheng even more enthusiastically.
Yang Zheng said it and did it.
They survived.
A general who can lead his men to win a war will naturally gain the admiration of his soldiers.
This is more effective than any other coaxing tactics.
"Brother!" Yang Zheng patted his chest.
No one will pay attention to the souls who died tragically last night.
They are no longer important.
Only Jiang Fane had some thoughts, but now he was completely on Yang Zheng's side.
"Brother!" The Qiang people also patted their chests.
Just one simple action and two words completely won them over.
The Shu army in the south had already retreated.
Just as Yang Zheng thought, after this battle, they have no reason to stay anymore.
And Yang Zheng's troops did not have the strength to pursue them.
The fire to the north was completely extinguished.
In late summer, when the trees are lush and green, it is impossible to keep burning.
Yang Zheng led a thousand people to search among the ashes, trying to find the bodies of Xiahou Ba or Guo Huai.
However, although yesterday's fire was fierce, it was not as serious as Yang Zheng thought.
There were only eight or nine hundred corpses on the ground. After all, people have two legs and can escape at all costs.
More people were burned and moaning in the Xiahouba camp in Jiaozhong.
However, the casualties were already very high.
In this era of burning, killing, and various inflammations and infections, people can easily die.
A man stood in front of Yang Zheng. Half of his body was dark, his beard and eyebrows were burnt black, there were several burns on his face, and his voice was hoarse.
"General?" Yang Zheng couldn't believe it.
The black man laughed loudly, "You may have perished in the sea of fire! Xingyun defeated Jiang Wei, which is a great achievement. I will definitely ask for credit for you!"
This tone can only be attributed to Xiahou Ba.
Yang Zheng was extremely happy that he was still alive.
"General Guo..." Yang Zheng held some expectation in his heart.
If Guo Huai died, it wouldn't be so difficult for him.
