Chapter 116: Ruthless!
This killing is inevitable, after all, there is a big gap between the forces of the two sides, and if they don't take advantage of this time to completely defeat Pei Jin, they will soon make a comeback.
At this time, there were about 50,000 imperial troops under the city of Hanzhou, and most of these 50,000 people were the defenders of the Hanzhong Army or Jincheng, which were considered the elite under Pei Jin.
The number of people on the battlefield is not as much as possible, compared to the number of people, the more important thing is whether the general can command it, no matter how many troops there are on the battlefield, if the person who is a general cannot fully control it, not only will it not improve its combat power, but it will even become a burden.
At present, these formations are scattered, and those who flee in all directions have become a burden to Pei Jin.
He couldn't command these fleeing people, and he couldn't stop them from fleeing, so when Pei Jin watched Mu Ying and the others kill out of the city gate with a clairvoyant mirror, his face suddenly turned pale.
He knew very well that in this case, the enemy went out of the city to pursue, as long as their formation was not chaotic, it would be a one-sided slaughter!
Although General Pei did not come to the front of the battle in person, he only heard a loud noise and didn't know what was happening, but he quickly reacted and quickly ordered.
"Pass my general's order, the whole army will retreat slowly, and the army behind will go up to the back of the palace and retreat in an orderly manner!"
"If there is a stampede, the Warlord will kill him on the spot!"
If the front is defeated head-on, Pei Jin's words may be useful, after all, this is something that is within everyone's understanding, and it is understandable if it happens.
But now, the people in front of them were made like this by unknown forces, everyone was panicked, there was no more discipline between the military formations, and everyone was running backwards in a hurry.
If the order is issued, it will also sink into the sea.
Few people heard Pei Jin's order, and even if they did, most of them would not pay attention to it.
The stampede is still happening.
Mu Ying and the others have already caught up with the last group of people, who are either armed with knives or guns, ruthlessly harvesting these six gods and masterless court soldiers.
Blood, sprinkled all over the earth!
In just half an hour, the casualties of Pei Jin's department have exceeded the number of people who died under the city of Hanzhou, all of which was seen by Pei Jin, the general of the forbidden army who had experienced the ups and downs of the two dynasties, was stunned.
He clenched his fists fiercely, blood pouring from the corners of his mouth.
The general knew in his heart that the soldiers who had fled from the front line were already uncontrollable, and if they continued like this, if they disrupted the formation, more people would die.
"The Heirloom General Order!"
Pei Jin almost roared in a low voice: "All the soldiers in the back row, it is forbidden to retreat, turn the direction, if someone rushes into battle, whether it is the enemy or me, kill on the spot!" ”
The meaning of this sentence is very obvious, that is, let the army, which has not yet been chaotic at this time and is still in control of his hands, turn around, raise his sword to his friendly army, and as long as someone rushes indiscriminately, regardless of whether he is the enemy or the enemy, he will kill him on the spot!
This is a method that sounds a little cruel, but it is very useful, at this time the front row of the army is all in chaos, there is no way to control it, and if it goes on like this, not only the front row, but also the soldiers in the back row will also be affected, and they will disrupt the formation, and when the time comes, the thieves in Hanzhou will kill them, and everyone will all die here!
In other words, any general here, in the face of this situation, will probably make Pei Jin's choice.
So, the imperial army was divided into two from the middle, and the soldiers in the back row turned around, drew their weapons, and raised their swords and guns in the face of these fleeing comrades.
Many people were frightened by the thunder, and they didn't care about anything else, so they ran to the back, and just fled to the back row, the knife flashed, and a human head flew up out of thin air.
Just as he was flying, it was as if he heard someone shouting at them.
"Turn back immediately, don't retreat, otherwise there will be no mercy!"
Then his eyes went black and he lost the last of his consciousness.
At the same time, there are many others like him. Human heads flew up from their necks and drew a distinct line on the ground.
No matter who it is, as long as you cross the line, you will be killed immediately!
As a result, the rate of killing became faster.
Because not only Mu Ying and others are killing people, Pei Jin is also wantonly slaughtering his own people.
Li Xin threw down the thunderbolt when it was close to noon, and just two hours later, more than 20,000 corpses lay on the battlefield!
Most of them were killed by Pei Jin.
This is a strong man's broken wrist.
In the evening, Mu Ying, who was dressed in scarlet, sat on the jujube red horse, panting for breath, while looking at Pei Jin not far ahead, with a bright smile on his face.
Pei Jin was also looking at the black-faced general.
At this time, he had too many questions to question the Shu man in front of him, but the two of them were separated by a stone's throw and had no way to speak.
At this time, the people on the field who were in chaos because of the thunder were already dead, and Mu Ying and Pei Jin each brought a group of people to confront each other from afar.
Between the two of them, there was a line drawn with a human head.
Mu Ying briefly judged the situation, knowing that he couldn't fight anymore, he was also very decisive, and after waving his hand, he said in a deep voice: "Let's go, let's go back to Hanzhou!" ”
With that, he turned the horse's head.
Before leaving, he asked a captured imperial lieutenant to deliver a message to Pei Jin.
"General Pei, what a ruthless method!"
After Pei Jin heard this relay, his face was expressionless.
But not far from him, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Huai, father and son, both had ugly faces and whispered something to plan.
……
On the other side, Mu Ying finally led people back to Hanzhou City, and after he returned, he almost collapsed from Zaohong's horse.
In Fang Cai's pursuit, he killed dozens of people with his own hands, waved his gun hundreds of times, and fought for a whole half a day, which had exhausted this General Mu.
He endured his exhaustion, climbed to the tower of Hanzhou, and found Li Xin, who was sitting on the city wall in a daze, the general Mu collapsed directly to the ground, panting for breath.
"Master Hou, we won......"
He gasped and spoke.
Li Xin's face was calm.
"See."
Mu Ying glanced at Li Xin and sighed: "It's a pity that this strong man of General Pei broke his wrist, otherwise we can chase ten miles more, and at that time, there will be no threat to the armies of these imperial courts." ”
Speaking of this, he spit out a mouthful of blood and saliva, and scolded: "Pei Jin, this bastard, actually let his subordinates turn around and cut his own people, it's really fucking ruthless!" ”
"It's a good idea."
Li Xin's face was calm, and he said: "If he doesn't have this courage, this time the imperial court's army will be directly crippled, instead of being like now, there is still half of the main force left." ”
In today's battle, it is roughly estimated that the casualties on the imperial court's side will reach twenty or thirty thousand, plus the casualties they suffered during the previous siege, the total number should have exceeded thirty thousand, and if you only count the elite troops, these people are almost half of the imperial court's strength in the west.
Mu Ying lay on the big bluestone, and after resting for a while, he finally regained some strength, he sat up from the ground, and turned his head to look at Li Xin.
"Master Hou, we have won Pei Jin, what are we going to do next?"
"Let's see if this General Pei will come again."
Li Xin took off the black cloth from his face and looked at the capital.
"I guess that after this battle, the imperial court should not fight again."
