Chapter 458 Since ancient times, soldiers and bandits have been at odds with each other.
Fortunately, after Hu Yanzhuo looked around, there was at least one thing that made him extremely happy.
That is, despite various unfavorable battle situations, the initial 30,000 troops and horses have become less than 20,000 now.
But even so, as long as those troops and horses all obeyed his orders, he would still be sure to defeat the enemy in front of him.
Of course, the reason why the 30,000 troops and horses were reduced so drastically was that only a small part of them were killed and captured by the soldiers on Shuibo Liang Mountain.
And what about the vast majority of the rest.
One: On the battlefield, continue to fight side by side with Hu Yanzhuo.
The two: followed Tong Guan and ran away quietly.
But Hu Yanzhuo led the remaining soldiers, and while they were fighting, they felt something was wrong.
Because he suddenly discovered that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him.
At the beginning, he could still see a dark area in front of him.
But gradually, the number of our own soldiers continued to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When Hu Yanzhuo focused his attention on counting, he found that the number of soldiers and horses that originally numbered nearly 20,000 was actually less than 2,000.
Could it be that all my brothers died in the battle?
No way!
When this thought arose in Hu Yanzhuo's mind, he took advantage of the opportunity to kill the enemy and glanced into the distance.
Although the sergeants in Shuibo Liangshan were very powerful at this time, according to Hu Yanzhuo's visual inspection, the opponent only had four to five thousand people at best.
A force of four to five thousand people attacked nearly 20,000 troops and horses, and they actually fought so smoothly, killing so many of their own people?
This, how is this possible?
At this time, Hu Yanzhuo was really angry, anxious, frightened, and angry.
But when he looked at the ground, there was a buzz in his head and he almost fainted.
Because there were only the corpses of hundreds of officers and soldiers on the ground.
As for where the other tens of thousands of soldiers went, Hu Yanzhuo could figure it out right now without even using his brain.
Ran!
They all fucking ran away!
Now, if I could use a poem to describe Hu Yanzhuo's current situation, it would be.
There are no roads in the mountains and rivers, and there are no villages in the dark willows and flowers.
To sum it up, it’s dead!
At the beginning, we had 30,000 troops, but they were defeated by 4,000 to 5,000 troops and horses in Liangshan, and they were retreating steadily.
Now, Hu Yanzhuo has less than two thousand troops in his hands.
With such a huge disparity in military strength, do you still want to break through the encirclement?
Hu Yanzhuo didn't need to think too much about this matter, he knew that it was completely impossible.
Even if he could lead his army to escape back to the capital now, his life would most likely not be saved.
In this case, it seems that Hu Yanzhuo has only one way left at this moment.
Hu Yanzhuo looked up to the sky and roared.
"Eunuchs are useless, traitors harm the country."
"Eunuchs are useless, traitors harm the country!"
Suddenly, Hu Yanzhuo, who was holding the single whip tightly, violently hit his own head with the whip.
But just when Hu Yanzhuo was about to die for his country, his steel whip was blown away by a powerful and heavy Zhangba snake spear.
Hu Yanzhuo's heart suddenly trembled, and then he turned around and saw the general with whom he had fought twice on the battlefield.
"Coach Lin, why are you trying to stop me?"
Lin Chong slowly shook his head.
"It's not that I want to stop General Huyan, but that my brother really can't bear to part with General Huyan's great talent."
As soon as Lin Chong finished speaking, Wu Zhi came to Hu Yanzhuo's side with a kind face.
"General Huyan, why are you so confused?"
"Besides, this defeat is not your fault alone."
"If that child-like dog thief hadn't escaped first, how could he have caused such a rout of the imperial army?"
"So whether you lose or make the mistake in this war, it's not you, General Huyan."
"If you want to blame, you can only blame the old thief Tong Guan. He is despicable, shameless, greedy for life and afraid of death."
"Well, this is not the place to talk. Please follow us back to Shuibo Liangshan, and we will talk about it in detail."
Hu Yanzhuo stared at Wu Zhi with burning eyes.
"Since ancient times, soldiers and bandits have been at odds with each other. I, Hu Yanzhuo, am the queen of the general family and have received the country's favor from generation to generation."
"Even if I die immediately, I will never join in with you."
"So you should give up this idea as soon as possible!"
Wu Zhi sighed helplessly.
"General Huyan, why are you doing this?"
"Look at the brothers around you, either killed in battle or captured."
"The few that were left were also driven to a dead end by our soldiers."
"What's the point of continuing to resist?"
After Wu Zhi finished speaking, he pointed around.
When Hu Yanzhuo looked around, there were corpses everywhere.
And most of them belonged to the officers and soldiers of their court.
Not far away, although there were still soldiers resisting, they were all at the end of their rope.
If it weren't for this Liangshan army trying to capture a few alive, I'm afraid the battle would have ended long ago.
They even started to clean up the battlefield.
Wu Zhi slowly walked up to Hu Yanzhuo, reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
But instead of being grateful, the other party slapped Wu Zhi's hand down.
But even so, Wu Zhi was still not angry.
"General Huyan, you have nowhere to go now."
"That Tong Guan, if he can escape and return to Beijing this time, he will definitely be criticized by Zhao Ji."
"And with his temperament, how could he take all the blame on himself?"
"And General Huyan is undoubtedly the best person to exonerate him."
"If I guess correctly, after he returns, he will definitely put all the blame on General Huyan."
"At that time, even if General Huyan returns to the capital, he will definitely become the scapegoat for that old thief Tong Guan."
Hu Yanzhuo snorted heavily.
"Even so, so what?"
"A man's head can be cut off, but it is extremely difficult for me, Hu Yanzhuo, to do that betrayal."
"So you don't have to waste time talking about me. If you want to kill me, just kill me. If you want to behead me, then behead me."
Wu Zhi nodded slowly.
"Having said that, have you ever thought about your wife, children and children?"
"You will definitely not survive after you return to Beijing."
"But your wife, children, and children will also suffer bad luck one after another because of your tragic death."
"In the end, maybe your entire Huyan family will suffer disaster because of this!"
"As a dignified man, shouldn't you do something for the entire family?"
"Should we just watch them die miserably, be exiled, or be sold into a brothel?"
"General Huyan, think about your wife and children, think about your old mother and father who have worked hard for most of their lives to give birth to you and raise you."
"They are all waiting for you to fulfill your responsibilities as a husband and your filial piety as a son."
"If you insist on being a person with no responsibility and no filial piety because of the obsession in your heart, then I have nothing to say."
