Chapter 118: Surrender

The sun poked out half of its head in the sky, and the entire desert sprinkled golden light, like a dream. The sparse meadow is already green, unknown flowers are blooming, and there are even a few white butterflies fluttering.

Wei Zhiyu felt that his lips were a little dry, and looked at Song Jun in the distance in front of him, his hands trembled slightly.

Bai Yuzi said: "There are less than 10,000 Song troops in Dijinze, let's fight to the death and find a way north from here." The heavy troops of the Song army were gathered in Shazhou and Shengzhou, and there were not many soldiers and horses in the north. At that time, who can help us! ”

Wei Zhiyu nodded, unable to say a word. After a few defeats, 10,000 Song troops were enough to be the life-killing Yama of their own people. Escaping Yin Mountain, this is just a fantasy. The Song army has a railway, how could it be possible to let these people run away.

Jia Kui stood on the watchtower, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at the remnants of the party on the opposite side. Beside the small oasis, the Song army lined up to meet the party members who fled to Dijinze. This small oasis is the only foothold in the vicinity, and the remnants of the party must attack.

The soldiers and horses on Hequ Road are different from Di Qing's department, and the marching and fighting are all taught by the military academy, and the command system is complete. Due to the abundant conditions, it was basically developed based on the Yingtianxiang Army of that year. With 10,000 men, there were 3,000 cavalry, 3,000 artillerymen, and 3,000 infantry. The remaining 1,000 people are Jia Kui's personal soldiers.

The formation waited for the enemy to come, and the situation was favorable to the Song army. However, this was Jia Kui's first battle after being transferred to Hequ Road, and after thinking about it, he hurried over and commanded it personally. This battle is the last battle for the party, and there is no room for mistakes.

The sun climbed into the sky, and the golden color between heaven and earth slowly receded. The sky was cloudless and it was a good day today.

A personal soldier came over quickly and met Wei Zhi: "Captain, the Song army behind has caught up, and there has been a reconnaissance horse behind the formation!" ”

"Got it." Wei Zhiyu waved his hand, looked at Song Jun in front of him, and bit his lip. "Today, we can only defeat the Song army in front and take a road to the north. If you can't rush through, you can only die here. ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Bai Yuzi beside him and said, "I will lead the front army to charge into battle, and you will be in the back." There is enemy resistance in front, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, and we are fighting against the water today! If the charge is unfavorable, you can figure it out yourself, and we'll see you in the next life. ”

Bai Yuzi looked at Wei Zhiqi, fleeing for many days, his hair was already knotted, and his face was full of wind and frost. He sighed and nodded emphatically. Di Qing's chasing troops in the rear had an obvious attitude, they were not allowed to surrender, and they must eliminate the remnants of the party, and they had no way to retreat.

Taking a deep breath, Wei Zhiqi let out a loud shout and rushed out with more than 2,000 forwards. The Song army had artillery, and the two formations were hundreds of paces apart, and the party army had to brave the artillery fire to run across this distance. Up to now, the party members are very clear about this point, and they only have the determination to die, and they do not panic.

Jia Kui looked at the party striker who rushed over with a telescope, his brows slightly locked. The two thousand men were all cavalry, probably the last of their elite troops. The cavalry charged into formation, and in the face of artillery fire, it was possible that the horses would be uncontrolled, and the party members knew this very well. In this case, it was decided to use cavalry to charge the first formation, and the party members seemed to have made up their minds to die.

The speed of the horses slowly increased, and Wei Zhiqi listened to the whistling in his ears, slowly lowered his mind, and just stared deadly ahead. Only by winning this battle today can we have a faint hope of living. If you can't rush over, today is the time of death.

Seeing that the party army entered the artillery range, Jia Kui ordered the pro-soldiers to be ordered to fire artillery. At the same time, the infantry in the rear was ready.

With the roaring sound of artillery, gunpowder smoke rose from the Song army's position, and the first round of shells fell in the party army formation galloping on horseback.

Watching the soldiers in front of him fall, Wei Zhiqi only felt that his ears were roaring, his heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't care about anything, so he just rushed towards the Song army's position with his soldiers and horses. The shells exploded around them, and some of the horses were startled and ran around, making a mess for a while.

Jia Kui shook his head, took the binoculars, and watched the battlefield carefully. The party has 2,000 people, and it is like a wedge that goes straight into the Song army. When they were one or two hundred steps ahead of the Song army, the formation had already been disrupted by artillery fire.

If it was in the past, Jia Kui would have personally led the troops and went straight to the party members. Now it is different, the Song army is a musket, what is required is strict discipline, and the formation must act together. All military formations must obey military orders.

Amid the sound of artillery fire, Dang Xiang rushed to the front of the Song army. At this time, the front of the party was completely chaotic, and was put down by the Song army's platoon guns one by one. The occasional party cavalry that rushed into the Song army's position was also quickly stabbed down with bayonets.

Bai Yuzi looked at the party soldiers in front of him, and only felt that his eyes had become blurred. I don't know how much time passed, maybe a long time, maybe just a few breaths, and the two thousand cavalry disappeared in front of the formation. Empty horses scurried in front of the battle, corpses lying between the two armies, and badly wounded soldiers, howling there. The Song army stood still in formation, with only a few casualties.

Closing his eyes, Bai Yuzi didn't know what to do for a while. The Song army in front is well prepared, not to mention breaking through, all their men and horses are here, but I am afraid that the other party will not be able to panic.

Suddenly opened his eyes, Bai Yuzi looked around, and said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this, and all the soldiers can't die here!" Jia Kui's department in front can't be the same as the chasing soldiers behind, and they must put us to death! That's it, I have to gamble! ”

After speaking, he said to his own soldiers: "Restrain the whole army, wait for me to talk to the other party's commander!" If I can't come back, let's run for my life! ”

The soldiers were stunned: "What does the captain want?" The pursuers in the rear are only a few dozen miles away, and if they can't break through the opponent's army formation today, there is only a dead end! ”

Bai Yuzi smiled bitterly: "You also saw the scene just now, how did we break through the military formation?" The Song army on the opposite side is well prepared, and the pursuers behind are approaching, and there is a dead end today. I'm going to see the manager, and if we can get us to surrender, there's still a way to go. ”

The pro-soldier said: "These days, the Song army just wants to kill!" If it can fall, it won't come down a few days ago! ”

Bai Yuzi said: "The one in front is Jia Kui's soldiers and horses, it's hard to say." Rushing into battle today, there is a dead end under the enemy's artillery fire, there is no need to fight. If I can't come back, the troops will flee separately with their subordinates. How much they can escape, they are all created. ”

After speaking, he urged the horse forward and ran straight to the Song army formation in front.

Jia Kui saw it in the telescope and couldn't help frowning: "This party general came alone, and I don't know what to do." After thinking about it, he ordered the soldiers not to shoot, and asked the people who came to do what they were doing.

When he arrived in front of the Song army, Bai Yuzi shouted loudly: "I am Bai Yuzi, the leader of the party team opposite, I want to see your boss!" ”

Several generals of the Song army looked at each other, not knowing what Bai Yuzi was going to do. sent a herald to run to Jia Kui to deliver Bai Yuzi's words. The second monk Jia Kuizhang was puzzled and ordered someone to escort Bai Yuzi over.

Several soldiers seized Bai Yuzi's staff and escorted it all the way to Jia Kui.

Jia Kui looked at Bai Yuzi and said in a deep voice: "Look at you, you should be the leader of the party." The two armies are fighting, what is the matter with me? ”

Bai Yuzi said: "Our army is surrounded by 100,000 troops in the rear, and there is no way out. There is no reason to be spared today. Wangtai Lieutenant remembers that God has the virtue of a good life and gives us a way to live. ”

Jia Kui said with a smile: "The two armies are fighting, either you die or I live, where is it difficult for you to live!" Unless you surrender with your whole army! ”

Bai Yuzi said: "If the captain can not kill and surrender the prisoners, our army is willing to surrender!" ”

Jia Kui couldn't help but be stunned, and only said after a while: "You rushed for a while, and this is the landing?" ”

Bai Yuzi said: "Don't hide it, Qianxiangri won't be able to fight." However, the Song army in the back insisted on putting us to death, and there was really no way to come all the way north. If you get the grace of the captain, you will never forget it! ”

Jia Kui was stunned for a while before he figured out what was going on. It seems that the Di Qing army in the south, for some reason, must destroy these remnants of the party and force them into a dead end. His mind was in a hurry, and he hesitated for a while.

Di Qing is his old superior, and he should follow his wishes. But the other party has surrendered, and according to the current military discipline, he should accept it. After thinking about it again, he said: "If you want to surrender, you go back and order the army to put down your staff and accept the control of our army." If you don't want to, then you have to fight. ”

Bai Yuzi gritted his teeth and said, "If you get the permission of the captain, why is it difficult to put down the staff?" I'm afraid that after I put down my staff, the captain will send troops to kill and poke, and I will become a sinner. Captain, reluctant to ask, can you give a promise in the next word? ”

Jia Kui felt ridiculous, the two armies were fighting, how could there be such a bent on surrendering? And it was too hasty to surrender like this. He said, "As long as you descend, your lives will be saved." No killing and surrendering, it is the military discipline of the imperial court, who dares to commit it? ”
