Chapter 756: The Line Between Life and Death
It was dark, and Suruman saw a series of fires in the distance in the sky, strung together into a chain of beads, enclosing the Laena Valley in the middle. It was the watchtower of the Zheng people, Su Luman sent people to investigate, and the Zheng people set up the watchtower every half a mile to observe the movement, and the Zheng army was divided into dozens of camps, stationed behind these watchtowers, no matter where to break through, it was inevitable to encounter the Zheng army. As long as they fought for a while, the other Zheng troops would pounce like wolves and bite the Badai tribe cleanly.
The bonfires were blown by the wind, the men slaughtered the remaining cattle and sheep, and I don't know who sang sad songs, and the women were sobbing sadly under the night sky, and the valley of Raena was whimpering.
Su Lu Man walked through the people with Ba'er, and from time to time leaned down to comfort the weeping old people and children, the army could only break through the siege of the young and strong, these old and weak women and children should surrender to the Zheng army instead of forcibly breaking through, this farewell, I am afraid that they will never be seen again.
Just south of the Lagina Valley, the camp of the Chinese army. Wang Keming's face sank like water, and he did not have the slightest joy to take the Badai Department into his pocket. Just now, Zhang Shangtu, the garrison in the north, sent someone to report that a large number of hoof prints were found in the northeast direction of the Serug River, and from the traces left, at least more than 20,000 light horsemen broke through from here.
Wang Keming, who has always been calm, kicked over the table in anger, which felt like carefully preparing a table of banquets, and when he picked up the chopsticks and was ready to eat, he found that the main dish had been taken away, not to mention the fire. Standing in front of the marching map, there was already a pillar of incense, and there was silence in the tent, and no one dared to speak out to anger Wang Dashuai, who was on the verge of breaking out.
Wang Keming stared at the Serug River on the marching map, where only a thin line three inches long slashed diagonally across the northeast side of the Laena Valley, and the desert was still bitterly cold in March, and the river should have been frozen strong enough for the horses to pass through.
A fist smashed on the map hatefully, Wang Keming was eager to take Zhang Shangtu to blame, he strictly ordered all departments to be stationed, and sent light cavalry to reconnoiter everywhere to prevent the Ba Dai Department from escaping, but this Zhang Shang was eager to fight for merit, and led the brigade to attack the Ba Dai Department that broke through with Zhu Jinfeng, and fell into the plan of diverting the tiger from the mountain, but let the elite of the Ba Dai Department take the opportunity to escape.
With a sigh of relief, Wang Keming suppressed his anger and sat down, and ordered: "Order all departments to be on duty in two groups tonight, and the soldiers are not allowed to disarm, so as to prevent the Badai department from escaping at night." If there is a battle, it is necessary to find out how many desert cavalry there are and then send troops to deal with it, so as to prevent the desert people from attacking the west. ”
Zhu Jinfeng, Jiang Anyi went back to the tent to rest after dinner, and he was arranged to be on duty in the second half of the night. Huang Zhu and the others were enthusiastically discussing the battle functions they had set up during the day to get them promoted, and outside the big tent was also in full swing, and the baggage soldiers were building fortifications non-stop.
In the battle of the day, Jiang Anyi's true qi was greatly consumed, and the time for the maintenance of his true qi was only two quarters of an hour, which made Jiang Anyi secretly frightened, the battlefield rush and kill were often more than half an hour, and his campaign in Shasu Country was even longer than an hour, if he had already died in the army with all his strength in the current situation, it seemed that he should try his best to avoid charging into battle, and honestly do a good job in the army.
Li Yinghua, the guard, made tea and handed it to Jiang Anyi, there was only a big bowl in the army, and the big bowl of tea had the wild flavor of Mobei. Jiang Anyi smiled, thinking of his younger brother An Yong, Park Tianhao and those guards, I don't know if I can meet them in this battle, as well as my righteous brother Zhizhong, Zhu Yifeng, Yang Huaizhong and others, it is a joy in life to meet old acquaintances in other places.
Seeing that Jiang Anyi began to close his eyes and breathe, Huang Zhu and the others calmed down, the assassination last night made Huang Zhu and the others deeply blame themselves, and several people discussed it, and in the future, four people in the army will be on duty in shifts, just in case.
Zhu Jinfeng did not rest, since the beginning of the year, there have been indifferent people breaking through, more than a thousand people, less than dozens of people, as a marshal he did not dare to be careless, Zhang Shangtu was reprimanded by the marshal
He already knew the news, gloating and secretly alerting at the same time, Zhang Shangtu's achievements during the day may be in vain, if there are any more omissions, not only will it be useless, I am afraid that he will also be punished, Miao Tieshan's intention to cultivate Zhang Shangtu has failed, and Zhang Shangtu wants to take over the position of the Metropolitan Governor of Anbei, I am afraid that he will have to fight more in this northern expedition.
Zizheng has passed, Zhu Jinfeng ordered someone to bring strong tea, and Cao Jinghan was strong to accompany him. Zhu Jinfeng said with a smile: "Uncle Cao, if I don't let someone set up a bed next to it, you lie down first, and I will call you if there is something." ”
Without waiting for Cao Jinghan to answer, the flag officer broke in from outside and reported: "Qiyu Dashuai, there are desert cavalry breaking through in the northwest direction, and the estimated number is more than 10,000 people. ”
Zhu Jinfeng perked up, stood up and said, "Uncle Cao, it seems that you can't sleep, this time the desert people are really moving." Beat the drums and get ready for battle. ”
The light cavalry was assembled in an instant, and Jiang Anyi followed Zhu Jinfeng's side and galloped in the northwest direction. Zhu Jinfeng is divided into eight camps, there are two large camps in the northwest direction of more than 10,000 light horses, and when Zhu Jinfeng leads the team to arrive, the fierce battle is in full swing.
Jiang Anyi's eyes were sharp, and with the help of the light of the torches, he saw the army fighting in one place, and couldn't tell which was Zheng Jun and which was Moqi.
Zhu Jinfeng ordered: "The winch crossbow is ready." ”
More than forty winch crossbows were launched at the station, lined up every two zhang, and the firelight flickered on the tips of the crossbow arrows of the cold forest, beating with the breath of death.
"Blow the trumpet and order the team to break away from the grapple and avoid it to the left and right."
The horn sounded, Zheng Jun killed on both sides, Mo Qi found that the Zheng Jun who was blocking in front of him disappeared, and happily urged the horse to break out, Su Lu Man felt bad, and ordered loudly: "Entangled Zheng Jun, don't be busy breaking through." But when life appeared, not many people were willing to listen to his orders, and the desert horses leaped forward.
"Collapse, collapse, collapse", the sound of the bowstring was very clear in the dark night, with the grim smile of the ghosts and gods, stabbing at the galloping desert horse.
Su Luman saw that the people in front of him bounced up with their horses, and then they were vigorously pushed backwards, bringing down a large piece, and looking in front of him, it seemed that dozens of gaps had been bitten. Su Luman knew that this was the killing caused by Zheng Ren's winch crossbow, his eyes turned red, and he roared: "Rush forward now, it's not easy to wind the winch crossbow, we can't let Zheng Ren load the crossbow arrows again." ”
The stagnant charge surged again, however, the chord sound of "collapse, collapse, collapse" sounded again, Fang Cai Zhu Jinfeng did not let all the crossbow arrows fire, the previous battle with the desert Wang Keming found that the salvo of crossbow arrows would leave a gap, so he ordered the winch crossbow to be fired at intervals of more than 30 units, fifty units were fired at intervals, and 100 were fired at intervals, so as not to give the enemy a chance to take advantage of them.
Su Luman saw that the front army fell like wheat plants again, and he didn't know how many winch crossbows the Zheng army still had, although there were only more than 100 light horsemen who were killed by crossbow arrows, but the coercion caused was invisible, and the light horsemen stopped moving forward, and the war horses made a miserable neigh. Su Luman came to the front of the battle, and saw that there were countless Zheng troops blocking the way in front of him, and his subordinates had lost their fighting spirit, and forcibly fighting was just a waste of their lives.
With a light sigh, Sulu urged his horse forward, and Ba'er and Lelimbu followed him, left and right. Fifty paces away from Zheng Jun, Su Lu Man reined in his horse and shouted loudly: "Which general is the Zheng army leading the team, Su Lu Man, the Khan King of the Badai Tribe, is here, please come and talk about it." ”
There was a guide to distinguish the true from the fake, and when he learned that it was really the Khan King of the Badai Department, Zhu Jinfeng took two guards to rush forward, stopped ten steps away, and raised his hand and said: "General Zheng Guo Huaihua Zhu Jinfeng has seen the Khan King. ”
Su Lu Man looked at Zhu Jinfeng carefully and said, "I wish the general, the Ba Dai Department is willing to surrender." ”
Zhu Jinfeng was ecstatic and asked in disbelief: "King Khan, what did you say?" ”
"The Badai tribe is willing to surrender." Sulu repeated heartily.
Zhu Jinfeng's heart was pounding, but he didn't expect that the greatest merit of the Badai Department was easily sent to him by the Khan King of the Badai Department, and the Badai Department was willing to surrender, and there was no difficulty in becoming a marquis with this merit.
Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Zhu Jinfeng said with a smile: "Those who know the times are Junjie, and the Khan King can be sincere to our country for the sake of his subordinates, which is really a great merit." The king of the Khan can rest assured that my emperor is generous and will treat the king of the Khan and the people of the Badai tribe kindly. ”
Zhu Jinfeng's words are sincere, Su Luman can recognize the situation and surrender decisively to kill less, it is indeed admirable, and even the Ba Dai Department surrendered, Su Lu Man, as the king of the Khan, will definitely get the attention of the Son of Heaven, many of the leaders of the small tribes in the past were knighted and sent to the capital for captivity, Su Lu Man estimated that it was not difficult to be crowned an earl, of course, it is unlikely to continue to stay in the Ba Dai Department, the Yining Fang in Beijing is dedicated to containing foreign leaders and generals who surrendered, and Su Lu Man's second half of his life will be spent there without accidents.
"Great Khan, since you intend to surrender, please also order the soldiers of the Badai Department to dismount, throw away their weapons, and wait for the arrangement, so as not to have any misunderstanding." Zhu Jinfeng didn't dare to be careless, and took advantage of the situation to demand.
Su Lu circled around and said in a loud voice: "Sons of the Badai Tribe, I have decided to surrender to Zheng Guo, everyone dismount and throw away your weapons." ”
The indifferent people were in an uproar, some people scolded, rushed out on flying horses, and scattered to seize the road. This is all expected, Zhu Jinfeng raised his hand, the army behind him approached, Zhu Jinfeng ordered: "Marksmen are ready, those who dare to hurt Ben Shuai or the Khan King will not be killed." ”
Jiang Anyi bent his bow and arrows, the dark night was not much of an obstacle to him, and a light horse fell down at the sound of the string, three arrows in succession, three people fell off their horses, and the other desert horses saw that the situation was not good, and fled to both sides.
Most of the deserters obeyed Suluman's order and jumped off their horses and lost their scimitars. Hearing the sound of "dangchang", Zhu Jinfeng was furious, knowing that the overall situation had been decided. looked at Su Lu and said with a smile: "Great Khan, the night is cold and windy, it is better to go to my camp tent to sit down, I will order someone to buy wine and drink a few glasses." ”
Su Lu Man laughed miserably: "The Ba Dai Department is in my hands, what shame do I have to drink and have fun, and I hope that the general will keep his promise and treat the people of the Ba Dai Department well." Lelimbu, the Badai Ministry will be handed over to you in the future, and you will take care of them for me. ”
With that, Suluman raised his scimitar and stabbed him in the chest, and the dead body fell under the horse. Ba'er and Lelimbu jumped off their horses crying, picked up Suluman who had fallen to the ground, and saw the scimitar stabbing his heart, and Sulu Man died of anger. Ba Erer pulled out his waist knife, glared at Zhu Jinfeng viciously, and committed suicide with a horizontal knife.
Lelimbu gently placed Suruman on the ground, stood up and turned to the commotion behind him, and shouted: "The Great Khan died for you, and his orders must not be disobeyed, and everyone must not act rashly to let the Great Khan's wish be frustrated." ”
Su Luman's suicide caught Zhu Jinfeng a little off guard, and he was stunned for a moment, Zhu Jinfeng jumped off the horse, knelt down on one knee in front of Su Luman's body, bowed, and said loudly: "The Great Khan is noble, which really makes Zhu admire." The Great Khan, please rest assured, I wish that I should treat the people of the Badai Department well, and the Great Khan will have a good journey. ”
signaled his subordinates to come forward to see Le Linbu, and then Zhu Jinfeng ordered to come forward to collect the weapons, bows and arrows of the desert cavalry, and sent someone to send a letter to the marshal Wang Keming. Half an hour later, Wang Keming led a group of people to gallop over, at this time the overall situation has been decided, the people and horses of the Badai Department sat quietly on the ground, and chanted for Sulu Man's soul under the leadership of Leblin.
The main combat strength of the Ba Dai Department has been reduced, Wang Keming ordered all the troops to strictly defend, after dawn, the four armies marched together, and almost no resistance was encountered to surrender the Ba Dai Department.
After carefully questioning Leblin, Wang Keming learned that except for the escape of 25,000 light horsemen from the Serug River, the siege of the Badai Department was considered a complete success.
