Under the banner of Xue Zi, just as the two lieutenant generals who had escaped thought, Xue Wanliang regarded these ten thousand soldiers as the foundation, and even regarded them as his reliance in front of his brothers. The value in front of his father was simply seen.
The coffin didn't shed any tears.
In fact, the young steward was beaten, bleeding, and stumbled before he regained his composure and knew that his life was the most important thing this time. @
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Dan Tonghai, Wang Shuyong arrived first. Since the two of them came in by surprise, they naturally learned from their subordinates that there was Xue Ziqi here. They also knew that Xue Changxiong had a son who was in charge here. If they wanted to take this man for great merit... say something.
It doesn't sound good. Even if you are a big leader and you don't have the most merit, you won't be able to speak randomly when making decisions... Therefore, the two of them attacked fiercely when they came up. Wang Shuyong flew in with an arrow and made a sneak attack first, and the banner was still trying to close in.
Xue Wanliang, who was in the army, was shot off his horse on the spot. Shan Tonghai arrived immediately and stabbed down with Duanjiang Zhenqi in the air, directly stabbing the opponent's shoulder.
Even though Xue Wanliang was a master of elixir condensation and had body-protecting Qi, he was caught off guard and was directly injured and broke his defense. Finally, he flopped on the ground several times before he managed to stand up. He was panic-stricken again and thought about running for his life.
However, at this time, without waiting for Shan, the two Wangs took action again, and saw another flash of light in the air. After a moment, two more people fell down - one of them was holding a bow and a spear, it was Shan Tonghai and Wang Shuyong's idols back then.
Xu Shiren, a hero from Lu County, and the other person turned out to be Jia Yue. The four of them took their positions and surrounded the injured Xue Wanliang.
The two chiefs who arrived first looked at each other without any surprise, just a little helpless.
To put it bluntly, it was expected that Wang Zhen, Jia Yue, Niu Da, and even Zhai Qian, including the accompanying Fu Boshi, would become elixirs.
They even suspected that these people should be about the same... In fact, judging from Jia Yue's ability to control Qi, he should have been condensing the pill for a while.
Sure enough, just as the thought turned around, another person jumped down with a stream of light. Although it was obviously laborious, he was undoubtedly in the state of condensation. After falling, everyone looked closely. It was the same person who had cultivated before the incident and Xu Shiying.
Niuda, who was almost the same, has finally caught up half a step.
Seeing this appearance, several gang leaders did not say any auspicious words such as congratulations on the promotion. Instead, they were hit by an arrow.
If you continue to fight, you will simply surrender.
Several people were not used to it. Jia Yue stepped forward and broke the man's limbs according to the rules. Then Niu Da broke the flagpole with a knife. Then Xu Shiren, a master of Chengdan, directly pulled Xue Wanliang and jumped up, heading back to Zhang Xing's banner. The rest of the people followed.
Everyone turned back to the formation and continued to command.
This small episode represents the official determination of the winner of the already hopeless war.
However, this does not mean the end of the war itself.
It must be understood that no matter how fierce the battle is, separated by fences and wearing armor, it is impossible to cause many real casualties in a mere hour. In other words, at this time, nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers were defeated but still alive.
Survive, and still maintain the desire to escape and the full ability to act on one's own.
However, this doesn't seem to be a good thing for them, because they soon find themselves in an extremely bad and bloody new situation.
Let's say that the officers and soldiers were surrounded on three sides, and then quickly defeated. Then they lost their command, which triggered a total collapse in an instant. But at the same time, their camp was quite strong, and the inside and outside were clearly layered. Therefore, when the soldiers were defeated
Even though they knew that the east side was a trap, but they still fled in droves, they inevitably encountered blockage in the internal passage of the camp and at the east exit.
After the blockage comes the stampede.
The former makes people despair, while the latter is so bloody and cruel that it even makes people forget their despair.
The officers and soldiers were crowded together, and the armor on their bodies and the weapons of friendly troops were no longer their reliance and protection. On the contrary, once they were pushed down, their own armor would in turn become a burden that prevented them from getting up, and ***
The weapon cannot distinguish between friend and foe, becoming the most direct cause of death.
What's even more terrible is that as the Huaixi soldiers from the rear came in with long swords and spears, the outer armies obviously got new unified orders and invaded the camp wantonly... Under the panic, the officers and soldiers soon broke out on the battlefield.
The fire broke out and got out of control. These.
The officers and soldiers with obvious hooligan vibes immediately evolved into small teams according to their organization and geographical or personal relationships. Those who did not have a group fought independently. They would rather kill their similarly armed comrades than turn around and follow them.
Those Huaixi soldiers, who actually only had a thousand men, argued with each other face to face.
In stark contrast, the Huaixi soldiers and the soldiers and horses from various ministries that followed from three sides quickly realized the problem. Under the command of the officers, the former began to consciously drive and intersperse along the passage, while the latter
Take control of the camp, and concentrate your crossbows and skirmishers on one side to deal with the officers and soldiers who try to escape through the gaps in the fences and trenches.
This further plunged the collapsed government and army into a quagmire of life and death.
It's really like some kind of quagmire.
The sunshine at noon in winter, the flying dust, the pungent blood, the chaotic wailing, and the friction and reflection of weapons and armor, plus the distant shouts of the Huaixi soldiers from the outside as they advanced with their long weapons, filled the sky
The flowing light that comes and goes from time to time, and the clean fence that is always shaky and even pushed and pulled repeatedly but never collapses, all stimulate the senses of everyone present.
Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow up, and the scene would become even more chaotic.
In this case, whether it is escaping or surrendering, it becomes difficult because order and so on are all gone.
"Third brother."
A stream of green light flashed past. In a camp in the southwest of the camp, Xu Shiying jumped from the side and rear and landed directly on the banner with the word "Deposed". He glanced at Xue Wanliang, who was thrown aside like a rag.
After that, he immediately told the reason for the meeting. "At the east gate, the group of people fleeing in front should be local young and strong men and women who were robbed. They were all frightened and couldn't close them. I asked Guo Jingke to let go.
A hole was left open for them to escape..."
"No problem." Zhang Xing, who had already collected his magical powers, just sat on the yellow horse in a daze. He simply nodded when he heard the words, but the coldness beside him seemed to have not disappeared. "You have the final say."
"But there is a problem." Xu Shiying continued. "These men and women must not have been released with good intentions. I'm afraid some people specifically hid them here."
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Xing was still straightforward. "Xue Wanliang has been captured, Zhuge Yang has been targeted by Wu Dalang, and 10,000 soldiers have been locked up. At most one can escape...who will be the one?"
"Wang Qi." Xu Shiying immediately reminded. "According to the scouts and prisoners, he should be Wang Qi, one of the eighteen lieutenant generals in the Hejian Camp."
"Yes, that's him.@*~~" Zhang Xing suddenly realized. "Go to the east gate and keep an eye on it, and do your best. Just see if Wang Qi can catch him. It doesn't matter if he can't... try your best to catch him."
Let the innocent people out."
Xu Shiying nodded again, but did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he continued to ask in a low voice: "Third brother, do you want to kill all these ten thousand people to establish your authority?"
Xu Shiren, the Chengdan master who had just returned with the captives, couldn't help but pricked up his ears.
Zhang Xing thought for a moment and became obviously more serious. He turned around and said seriously: "I don't mean that. At least I don't intend to kill people. I'm not a murderer...but I don't specifically recruit and appoint people for free."
In the past, there were so many rebels, do we still lack soldiers in Hebei? Just do whatever we need to do, in order to reduce losses, save energy, and ensure the supplies in the camp, and be as comprehensive as possible."
Xue Wanliang, lying underneath with his mouth full of dust, was relieved but also a little scared.
But Xu Shiying immediately understood, nodded and left.
Zhang Dalongtou's meaning is actually very simple. It is necessary to establish prestige. From all angles, there is no reason to let the opponent go, but there is no need to deliberately kill them all in order to establish prestige. Human life is human life after all... In this case, Xu Shiying
Outside the gap, the terrain is open, and there is no problem in choosing to accept the inevitable surrender.
On the other hand, if these people are blocked and trampled, unable to escape the camp and enter an open area to surrender, that is also their misfortune. Any compassion and letting anyone live at this time is unnecessary.
Such a calm attitude also made Xu Shiren, the hero of Lu County who was watching on the sidelines, calm on the surface but a little dazed in his heart... Hero Xu was not an ignorant person, but after being in the center for a long time, he could not help but follow the mainstream opinions and turn the chaos of the past two years into reality.
The rebels in the army were of the so-called "bandit" nature. Even though the gang took over the eight counties of Jishui, it shocked him so much that he chose to return to his hometown for this reason. However.
Deep down, I still look down on my fellow countrymen and descendants.
I even had a vague feeling that the troubled times had just begun and the arrow shot out the first bird. This chaotic gang might be an appetizer that passed by.
However, when he returned home, he discovered that the gang was a gang on the surface, but it had a strict system on the inside and could actually maintain the basic operation of the place without causing trouble. So he calmed down and decided to deal with it. Only then did he go to cross the river after receiving the news.
The "accompaniment" of the First World War. After crossing the river, I watched helplessly as the army was organized and organized. The troops rushed to fight for a day without causing any trouble. Then the masters gathered together and charged in formation, and they were so destructive again. Next, there was the young man again.
The younger generation is surging, and talents are emerging in large numbers. In the end, with such a great victory, the coach and assistant coach actually had a stable mentality and dealt with it simply.
How could this hero not be touched?
To put it bluntly, for Xu Shiren, even if he doesn't come back and is still with the army, isn't he just sitting opposite Zhuge Yang? When he thinks of facing these young people, he will be defeated in an instant.
After spending an afternoon gambling alone, the self-respect that had been hidden before seemed ridiculous.
Of course, this is Xu Daxia's overreaction. Not to mention a year and a half ago, the leaders of the gang were still a group of country tycoons, a typical rabble, and they were rolling in the mud when fighting... I can only say that
, The war is so tempering, everyone in the gang has survived just one joint.
Moreover, as the current situation develops, the speed of the disintegration of the entire world and the intensity of the war will enter a new stage. Under the urging of the leadership, the gang quickly entered Hebei, just to get a head start.
The severity and scale of the incident will be significantly increased.
The killing continued, Xu Shiying got Zhang Xing's words, and started to act arbitrarily at the east gate. He let the local young men and women who had escaped first let these civilians escape on their own, preparing to wait until armored deserters appeared before intercepting and forcing them to surrender.
.
However, it may be that the number of civilians captured by these Hejian troops was too large. After a full two-quarters of an hour, the common people were still not exhausted. Instead, a large number of reinforcements arrived from behind.
Without him, Xiong Bonan successfully persuaded Fan Dahuan and brought the rebel army back in this direction. However, these Hebei Rebel Army Committee did not expect that the war would progress so quickly. When they arrived, let alone fighting,
I'm afraid I won't even be able to get involved in tracking down deserters.
But as soon as they turned around, the winter wind picked up, swirling the dust, and the bloody quagmire inside the camp gate was vaguely visible. The faces of the Hebei rebels turned pale and they became at a loss.
"Are you General Fan?"
At this opportunity, Xu Shiying took the initiative to ride up to the horse, greeting him with a smile, and even imitated someone on the horse and stretched out his hands, regardless of the movement inside the camp gate in the distance.
Fan Wang was surprised for a moment, thinking it was some kind of custom in the Eastern Region, and quickly reached out his hand, but he suddenly realized when he hung up his weapon.
The two exchanged horses and shook hands, and Xiong Bonan immediately came over to make a brief introduction.
Only then did Fan Wang know that this person was Xu Dalang, who had long been famous on the river. It was said that he was one of the top three leaders in the gang. He even had a vague opposition to the two leaders, but he didn't want to be so kind and treat others like this.
Sincerity, coupled with the interaction with Xiong Bonan, I couldn't help but feel in my heart that despite the great reputation, there is no real person who deserves to be a hero in the world. At the same time, I became careful with my words.
Of course, be careful. After the greetings, Fan Daguo couldn't help but ask for confirmation: "According to what the scout said, 10,000 Hejian troops were guarding the camp, and 20,000 troops were surrounding to fight. It only took an hour to win."
Yet?"
"A few officers and soldiers are not worth mentioning." Xu Shiying immediately smiled. "The men and women did decide the situation in an instant. It's just a pity that Zhuge Yang is a master of elixir creation. Although he was entangled by the leader Wu Da, he didn't know the end.
Can I be caught and given a stabbing blow?"
Fan Dabao was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then asked again: "I wonder how many Zhonglang generals are coming to Hejian this time? Besides Zhuge Yang, who else is there?"
"There should be three." Xu Shiying spoke calmly. "Zhuge Yang, Xue Wanliang, and Wang Shaqi."
"That's right." When he heard the names of the three people, Fan Wang immediately nodded and asked carefully. "These three people are all masters of condensing pills and above. Zhuge Yang is a master of forming pills... As expected, they are all easy to catch.
?"
"Xue Wanliang is gone.
He has been captured, and now he is eating dirt with his broken legs at my dragon head." Xu Shiying still smiled. "The leader of Wu Da who followed Zhuge Yang was Wu Dalang Wu Jingfeng, who was known as the fastest in the world. With him,
Now, at least you don’t have to worry that Zhuge Yang can fly away without being seen. As for that Wang Qi..."
At this point, Xu Shiying seemed to have remembered something and suddenly stopped talking. Then he just held his hands and turned his head, but then stared at the exit of the camp to the west.
It turned out that while they were talking, the local young and strong children who had been kidnapped had finally fled, and what they saw were frightened deserters who still had their armor on them. However, just as the common people and the armored soldiers were fleeing, they
Among the soldiers, dozens of shirtless and muscular men suddenly appeared.
Some of these people have been injured, and almost all of them are covered with dust and sweat. Some of them have some clothes on them, but they are made of better materials. Some of the areas without ash are too clean. One person does wear them.
I got a dirty cloth, but it didn’t fit me.
Xu Shiying watched for a moment, then couldn't help but look at her future brother-in-law Xiong Bonan.
Xiong Bonan also reacted, but with a whistle, he personally led Xu Shiying's bodyguard forward on horseback.
As a result, before the people arrived, suddenly, one of the shirtless men suddenly used his true energy and jumped up. However, he was hit by the well-prepared King Xiongtian and was knocked solidly in mid-air.
, purple light flashed, and the man was also knocked to the ground.
Fan Daguo was dumbfounded when he saw it, but Xu Shiying responded with a smile: "Thanks to General Fan, Wang Qi shouldn't be able to run away... Since everything is fine, that's good. I'll take the general to see my leader.
Make a recommendation to the general."
How could Fan Wang dare to say no and just say yes? Xu Shiying held one hand, reined in his horse and went around the camp to look for Zhang Xing from the southwest.
However, it may be due to exhaustion due to the delay, or it may be that the arrival of large reinforcements made the officers and soldiers lose the courage to escape. It may even be related to Wang Qi being discovered and then being knocked down by Xiong Bonan in public.
At this time, the soldiers finally began to gradually give up the stampede and internal strife... and just as Xu Shiying led Fan Wang around the battlefield, the remaining Hejian officers and soldiers chose to surrender on a large scale.
When he arrived at the "Deposed" flag, Wang Qi was caught by Xiong Bonan, who carried him over first, and even took Xu Shiren away, and went to find Wu Jingfeng and Wu Changzai together to do it.
assist.
Only Zhang Dalongtou was left there to decide life and death.
"What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me?" Zhang Xing smiled at Wang Qi, who was lying on the ground and trying to raise his head. "If your name is Xue Changxiong, I can still talk to you... But you are only 18 of the Hejian Camp.
One of the Zhonglang generals has been defeated and his limbs have been broken. They are just meat on the pallet... Besides, as a Zhonglang general, you allow your subordinates to loot without restraint. Don’t you know the rules of our gang?
?"
"Are we going to be whipped to death? We generals don't have to be whipped to death, right?" Wang Qi ignored the pain and the ashes in his mouth. He just sweated profusely on the ground and struggled for leniency. "Zhang Longtou, you are already
If you want to establish yourself in Hebei, you have to care about the heroes of Hebei..."
"The heroes of Hebei have rebelled long ago." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "Do those who serve as officers and soldiers deserve to be called local heroes?"
"The Hejian camp has sixty to seventy thousand elites..." Wang Qi immediately changed his words.
"Fifty or sixty thousand." Zhang Xing corrected. "After today, there will only be fifty or sixty thousand."
"But when I see that there are 20,000 of you, it may not be so bad. It's just that the masters gather together to win quickly." At this moment, Xue Wanliang, who was not listening well, finally spoke. He was also lying there talking, which was really difficult.
, but didn’t dare to stop for a moment. “As for our Hejian camp, my father has already reached the position of Grandmaster last year. He is a master of elixir creation and elixir condensation. There are twenty or thirty masters.”
"I'm afraid there won't be so many after today." Zhang Xing continued to laugh.
"But it's still several times better than you!" Xue Wanliang shouted. "If you kill me and enmity against my father, how can you stop me?"
"We have seven alchemy masters and fifteen alchemy masters." Zhang Xing blurted out and exaggerated. "Even if it is obviously weaker than the Hejian camp, it is enough to protect itself... At worst, we will abandon the territory.
Just go back."
Even though he was lying on the ground, Xue Wanliang was obviously startled, and it was Wang Qi who spoke up: "What are those people doing in Hebei? It's worth it to spend money, food, and death."
?"
"You are the subordinates of the violent Wei Dynasty, the thieves who rebel against heaven, and the bandits who ruin the people; and our gang is the rebel army of Shuntian, the heroes who save the people." Zhang Xing answered proudly. "How can we use the rebel army to attack the traitor army because of
Why don't we come even though we are across a river? How can we say it is worthwhile or not? We are not officers and soldiers like you. We occupy several states and counties and treat them as our own territory, and then have countless selfish thoughts, and we are not sure about life or death.
I’m willing to move.”
Wang Qileng stood there, and Xue Wanliang also said nothing, as if he was as dumbfounded as Fan Dahao, who was still holding one hand behind Zhang Xing.
As for Xu Shiying, she already regretted not bringing a pen and paper.
But Zhang Xing was still talking eloquently on Huang Piao's horse: "Xue Wanliang, Wang Qi, you two should not make things difficult for yourself. If you are really afraid of Xue Changxiong and Hejian Camp, why should I go all out to kill these ten thousand people today?
Soldiers? I must eradicate the Hejian camp, and Xue Changxiong must also be punished. As for the two of you, one is a descendant of the Xue family, and the other is a local tyrant, but neither of them has any means of running an army. They just rely on
The remnant people came to bribe the sergeants. The rules of our gang are here. We will not let you go no matter what. After the surrender is completed, you will be beheaded in public and the punishment will be canonized. If Zhuge Yang is caught, he will do the same.
.”
Wang Qi remained silent, but Xue Wanliang, on the other hand, realized that he was going to die, so he struggled hard on the dusty and blood-stained ground. After realizing that he couldn't struggle, he yelled again: "You Bai family
My son-in-law, why should Shuntian help you? Don’t think that I don’t understand you, why don’t you just work for the British father and come to rob Hebei? It sounds so nice!”
Zhang Xing was still not angry, he just came to laugh: "You are also a master of condensing pills. You should have heard from others that some masters of condensing pills can explode the sea of qi after releasing it... Although they will still be dead by then.
, but it is enough to borrow the energy of the three parts of heaven and earth, and you will be able to move freely and freely for a while... If you are really dissatisfied, why not lie there and shatter the sea of qi yourself, and then jump up to fight with me? It's funny to just scold me."
When Xue Wanliang heard this, he became more and more angry, and the curses in his mouth became more and more unbearable. Wang Qi remained speechless.
But Xu Shiying really couldn't listen anymore, so she gave up and prepared to dismount.
But at this time, Jia Yue leaped over from the camp in the north. As soon as he landed, he saw this scene and went straight over, grabbed Xue Wanliang's hair, and then smashed the opponent's mouth with the handle of the knife, killing him on the spot.
Seven or eight teeth were knocked out, and then seven or eight more teeth were knocked out, until the victim's mouth and tongue were all broken, and he cried bitterly before he stopped.
After finishing the attack, he allowed the opponent to grab the ground with his head and kept wailing. Jia Yue just stood up and handed over his hands, and reported seriously: "Longtou, most of the officers and soldiers have surrendered, but they are killing each other and trampling on each other. There are many wounded. I don't know what happened."
What kind of treatment? Do we still want to kill him?"
"Pull, why don't you smoke? If you don't smoke, won't it mean that we have no rules?" Zhang Xing looked at the other party using the ice energy and leaped forward with a normal expression. Now he answered evenly. "The Hejian Army has repeatedly raided Hebei.
, to be severely punished... All three lieutenants will be beheaded in public; officers above the captain will draw one out of two, and soldiers will draw one out of five. As for the wounded, try to help bandage them, and then, regardless of their severity, and the corpses, all will be drawn by lot to survive.
Take it back and carry it to the river!"
As soon as these words came out, except for Jia Yue who agreed to Lisuo, most of the others shuddered in their hearts.
At this moment, Zhang Xing looked back at Fan Wang, who had never had a chance to speak before. He changed his smile and took the initiative to hit the horse. Then he took the opponent's hands and said:
"Leader Fan, we met in a hurry last time and didn't have time to say hello. I'm really ashamed."
"I can't see the real dragon! I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!" Fan Wang said sincerely, raising his hands. @·The first post without any mistakes~~
Zhang Xing then became solemn and said: "It's actually not easy to do much greetings today... because there is something I have been thinking about for most of an hour, and now I want to ask Leader Fan for advice... You think, next, we should take Pingyuan or Ander first.
Should we stand ready to meet Gao Dashuai's subordinates? Or should we immediately move west to prevent the Hejian bandits from outflanking them on the east route, and let Gao Dashuai retreat safely on his own?"
Fan Wang thought for a while, but for a moment he didn't dare to answer, but instinctively looked at Xu Shiying.
But Xu Dalang also froze on the spot, just staring at Mr. Zhang in confusion - is he really still a lot worse?
