Chapter seven hundred and twentieth nine blood flow only for notoriety
"kill"
The sound of murder soared into the sky.
Two yellow dragons soared into the sky, yellow sand filled the sky, flags fluttered, and the two cavalry troops collided.
Xietang, wearing armor and helmet, was in the middle of the formation, urging the soldiers to move forward and maintain a stalemate with the Han army.
"Kill them and stop them."
"If you kill a Han dog, you will be rewarded with a hundred silver coins and a title."
Xie Tang spared no effort to boost morale, using one thousand and two against five hundred, and military formation against military formation. Xie Tang believed that he could completely block Su Lu.
"General, withdraw, we can't do it anymore."
A confidant suddenly reminded Xie Tang.
Xie Tang gave his confidant a slap:
"Fart, you asked me to withdraw just after we started the battle. This will shake the morale of the army. I'll kill you."
Saying this, I heard a shout from the front army. The officers and soldiers of the main formation who had formed a military formation had dispersed. Countless sergeants began to flee in all directions. Amidst the shouts of people and the neighing of horses, more than a thousand people formed a military formation in an instant.
Fall apart.
how so?
Xie Tang looked at the collapsed military formation and was puzzled. It was fine just now. Su Lu had the power of the military formation and so did his family. Why did it become such a one-sided situation?
"General, let's go. If you don't leave, it will be too late."
Several confidants personally grabbed the reins of Xie Tang's horse and pulled him back.
The army was defeated like a mountain, and the formation had been dispersed by the Han army's imperial guards. If Xietang did not leave, he would be bitten by the rushing Han army.
"Walk"
Xie Tang roared unwillingly, turned the horse's head, and walked away.
It’s over!
Xie Tang wailed in his heart, why is this happening? They are all in a military formation, with more family members, and they are all strong armies. Why can't they stop Su Lu?
After fleeing for more than ten miles in embarrassment, Xie Tang finally escaped the pursuit of the Han army and sent people to collect the fleeing soldiers. Xie Tang sat down under the shade of a tree beside the road.
After taking the water bag handed by his entourage and taking a sip of water, Xie Tang suddenly punched the trunk of the old tree next to him.
"Click"
A hole was directly punched through the waist-thick tree trunk, a cracking sound came from the trunk, and the roots of the thick old tree instantly became hollow.
"Have any of you seen clearly why our army was defeated so quickly?"
Xie Tang asked the confidants around him. These people had grown up with him since childhood and they would not deceive him.
Several of the followers looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, the confidant who retreated from Laxietang said:
"The Han army seems to have suddenly become stronger."
I carefully considered my tone, trying to find the right words, but in the end I said firmly:
"Just because he has become stronger, it's like a big-headed soldier with no internal strength suddenly turned into a captain with internal strength and infinite strength. He is extremely powerful."
"Yes, the Han army seems to have become stronger."
"He has become stronger. I saw a Han general pierce Li Er Mazi with one shot. Li Er Mazi wore forty kilograms of armor. That was heavy armor."
A group of relatives and followers were chattering away.
Xie Tang frowned, suddenly became stronger?
Damn, I am also confused. These guys have made their brains stupid by practicing martial arts. They are all good at fighting. Let them see why the Han army can defeat our army. This is nonsense.
Slowly, the fleeing sergeants were gathered in, and more and more people gathered.
When it got dark, Xietang had gathered more than two hundred men and horses, well, it was just a fraction of the number before the battle.
After setting up a tent and lighting a bonfire, Xie Tang summoned the surviving generals and commanders to discuss the next step around the fire.
"Our mission is to hold off the Han army for five days, giving all armies time to encircle the Han army."
"Now that we have been beaten like this by the Han army in a battle, tell us, what is the difference between us and the Han army?"
A few captains, whose heads were wrapped in gauze or whose arms were hung on their chests, looked at me and I looked at you. No one spoke for a long time.
They also wondered why there were only more than 500 Han army guards who were so powerful that they were invincible and invincible. The cavalry charging into the formation were like a mudslide rushing down the mountain, instantly sweeping away anyone who dared to stand in front of them.
Everything, everything around him was wiped out in the blink of an eye.
"The imperial guards of the Han army are very strong."
A captain said, his tone full of self-doubt, we are also very strong, but why can the Han army be stronger? It feels like all the hard work in practicing military formations has been in vain.
Xie Zhen, with his arms hanging on his chest, said:
"I think it's not just the imperial guards who are very strong. We all know how strong the imperial guards are. We also suffered from them when they put down the Bingzhou rebellion. Huang Shirong died at the hands of this group of imperial guards. There were some people who escaped at that time.
The lake bandits who came back said that the guards are very strong."
"But it's not as strong as it is today."
Xie Zhen said it carefully, his tone full of frustration. The surviving Xie family members were all Xie Ruyu who spent all his efforts and begged the Tang Emperor to hide and train for more than ten years, just to deal with Su Lu.
Unexpectedly, after so many years of training as a soldier, he would still be vulnerable to the imperial guards.
"We must recruit more sergeants. Let Qi and Qin send out more sergeants to kill Su Lu's imperial guards with their heads."
Xie Tang spoke, his tone full of viciousness.
Since a strong army cannot kill you, then pile up heads and use them to kill you.
"Report"
An orderly soldier rolled over and rolled in front of the fire. He knelt down on one knee in front of Xie Tang.
Xie Tang's expression changed:
"What happened?"
The flesh on the messenger's face trembled, and his whole body seemed to be trembling.
"General, something happened. The Han army killed prisoners."
"Kill prisoners?"
Xie Tang stood up suddenly and looked to the south, where the Han army had set up camp. If they defeated the Han army in one battle, they would definitely capture many of their own soldiers.
Unexpectedly, Su Lu actually killed prisoners!
"General, let's kill him and save people."
Xie Zhen stood up and spoke.
The captains also shouted:
"Kill over and save Pao Ze. The Han army is so despicable that they even kill prisoners."
"Yes, it's important to save people. General, give the order."
Xie Tang gritted his teeth. After a moment, he raised his arms to stop everyone, and said coldly:
"Put out the bonfire."
All the captains had solemn expressions on their faces, and they rushed back to save the captured prisoners. The general was also completely angered this time.
Xie Tang waved his hand:
"Retreat to the mountains. We are no match for the Han army. We cannot allow them to capture the camp at night."
The lieutenants withdrew with astonishment on their faces...
Han army, inside the camp.
Dong Ling persuaded Su Lu and said:
"The killings and prisoners are unknown. These are all our Han people, so they may not be useless."
Su Lu shook his head and pointed at the rebels who were facing the butcher's knife with their necks held high:
"Look, do they have any repentance at all?"
Dong Ling pondered for a moment and said:
"They may have been deceived. Your Majesty, you also said that when prosperity comes, the people suffer."
Su Lu shook his head:
"I'm here to kill people, not to save them. They traveled thousands of miles to kill me, so naturally they have to be conscious of being killed."
Lu Zhan interjected from the side:
"These are soldiers who have been trained for many years. They are all elite and brave men. Compared with them, our guards are only in the middle of the pack."
Su Lu patted Lu Zhan on the shoulder:
"Don't be shy about your talents, these people won't be of use to you."
"So what if they have a strong army? Do I, Su Lu, lack a strong army? What I lack is just a bad reputation. Everyone knows that I, Su Lu, are invincible, and they dare to besiege me. It is just because I have no bad reputation and will not cause chaos.
kill."
"Today, I will kill you to show them, so that these rebellious people know what will happen if you go against me, Su Lu, and the Han Dynasty court."
