When Liu Wenxiu led the Xuanhu heavy cavalry and the full cavalry sentry to the back of the Yang Guozhu army formation on the right flank, in front of Yang Guozhu's department, there was a rampant sentry like a steel mecha monster, and he just shouted to kill. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

These people are all wearing three layers of armor, tightly wrapped in steel armor from head to toe, only revealing two eyes, like a mecha monster armed to the teeth, the most elite heavy infantry in this late Ming era.

These heavily armored infantry of the Tang Army, each of whom was highly skilled in martial arts and heavily armored, was like a miniature tank, each holding a tiger knife, a tiger spear, a long-handled knife, a thick-backed military sickle and other heavy weapons, and shouted loudly towards the frightened Yang Guozhu.

Yang Guozhu, the commander of the right wing of the Ming army, saw these Tang army heavy infantry so brave, his pupils suddenly constricted, and the horizontal flesh on his face was also trembling.

Speaking of which, Yang Guozhu himself is a veteran of the battlefield, and the combat power of his subordinates is much stronger than that of the general Mao Bin Department. But seeing the heavy infantry of the Tang Army rushing to kill like a mecha monster, Yang Guozhu was still surprised and frightened in his heart.

He saw that although this rushing sentry seemed to have only 600 men, less than one-eighth of his own 5,000 men, its ruthless momentum and neat coordination were no match for his own subordinates who were negligent in training, poorly equipped, and had long been in arrears of food and wages.

Yang Guozhu clearly saw that many of his subordinates' soldiers had frightened expressions on their faces, and there were even many soldiers who were already trembling and trembling, and they wanted to turn around and flee.

Seeing that the troops had not yet fought, they were already very frightened and their morale was low, Yang Guozhu was annoyed in his heart, he drew his sword and shouted angrily: "Meet the enemy!" Meet the enemy! The Tang army's anti-thieves have arrived, and our army needs to fight forward and kill the enemy soldiers! ”

There was a muffled bang, and the two armies quickly fought in one place.

As soon as the two armies came into contact and had been in battle for a long time, the Dingbei Battalion of the Tang Army, which was very sharp, immediately gained the upper hand. Although Yang Guozhu's troops were superior in numbers, they were almost vulnerable in the face of the rampant sentry with strong combat power, sharp weapons, and heavy armor.

Jumping into the rampant sentry of the Ming army's array, wherever the sharp sword light went, there were corpses, flesh and blood were wild, and stumps were flying. The wails and miserable voices of the Ming soldiers rang out.

"Lord Yang, the enemy soldiers are fierce, and our army is difficult to support, so you need to ask the Chinese army for help quickly!" A personal soldier guard, screaming loudly to Yang Guozhu.

Yang Guozhu's face was very unpalatable, and he scolded angrily: "Bastard, this ghost weather, sand and dust, you can't even see the shadow of the Chinese army, and you still ask for help!" ”

After Yang Guozhu finished speaking, before he could motivate the soldiers to fight hard again, suddenly his ears heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves coming from behind his own battle formation.

"Lord Yang, there are a large number of cavalry of the Tang Army, attacking from the back of our army!" Behind him came the screams of a guard.

Yang Guozhu's face instantly turned pale.

It's just that before he could speak, the Tang cavalry behind him was already roaring.

Because it was a back charge to the enemy's formation, the Tang army's Xuanhu heavy cavalry and Manchurian cavalry, in order to increase the strike area as much as possible, did not swing a wedge-shaped battle formation, but rushed in a wall-like linear formation, directly attacking the back of Yang Guozhu's army formation on the entire right flank.

The dull sound of knives and guns entering the flesh, the clanging of swords and slashes, and the screams of the Ming soldiers dying were mixed together in an instant, and the army formation of Yang Guozhu's army on the right wing, which was struggling to resist the frontal rampant attack, collapsed in an instant.

Countless Ming soldiers abandoned their weapons, wailed and turned to flee for their lives, banners and swords thrown everywhere.

Fortunately, the Tang army had been ordered to let them flee and not pursue them.

At this time, the pale-faced deputy general Yang Guozhu also led the only dozen or so guards to pull out his horse and want to escape.

With a whoosh, a sharp arrow shot at the head of his mount, and the mount screamed and knocked Yang Guozhu to the ground.

Yang Guozhu has been in battle for a long time, and when the war horse fell, he secretly said that his heart was not good, so he hurriedly kicked and rolled away, and fortunately avoided being crushed by the fallen mount and broke his leg. And out of the corner of his eye, he just saw a Tang cavalryman wearing the armor of the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner in the distance, slowly retracting his bow.

At this time, Yang Guozhu's dozen or so guards, except for two or three guards who were killed by the swarming Tang army, the rest had already run away.

Yang Guozhu, who had rolled on the ground a few times, endured the sharp pain from the fallen thigh, and was about to get up from the ground, when a cold tiger knife stained with blood slammed across his neck.

"Run, you dog run! If you move again, I'll cut off your dog's head!" ”

A bloodied face of the Tang Army's rampant sentinel, speaking in a thick Shandong accent, shouted at him with a hideous face. At the same time, he added force to the tiger knife, and the sharp blade weighed heavily on Yang Guozhu's neck threateningly, making Yang Guozhu subconsciously tremble.

"Don't, don't do it, this will be Yang Guozhu, the deputy general of Xuanfu Town, but the main general of the right wing, I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender to your army." Yang Guozhu shuddered and said this.

Hearing that it was a general of the Ming army who was captured, holding all kinds of weapons and surrounding him with all kinds of Tang soldiers, he immediately burst into cheers.

"Grandma's, I didn't expect to arrest a big official, now I can also get the Tiger Roar Medal!" The Tang Army sentry soldier who forced him to surrender had a bright smile on his bloody face.

Hearing the cheers of the Tang soldiers, Liu Wenxiu led a group of cavalry and rode horses to Yang Guozhu's side.

"Oh, it turns out that you are Yang Guozhu, the deputy general of Xuanfu Town, but I am fortunate to meet."

Looking at Liu Wenxiu, who was quietly looking at himself with a teasing look, Yang Guozhu looked impatient, he sighed, closed his eyes, and let the Tang army tie him up.

The wind is howling, the sand and dust are unabated, and the sound of fighting on the battlefield has completely disappeared.

At this time, among the Chinese army, the face of Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of the Ming army, was extremely ugly.

When the left and right flanks were fighting with the enemy just now, because the wind and sand were too big and the enemy's situation was unknown, Lu Xiangsheng did not dare to act rashly. He ordered the entire Chinese army to suspend its advance, consolidate together, and wait for a possible attack by the Tang army in response to the changing situation.

Although from time to time a large number of routs ran to the place of the Chinese army without regard for their heads, Lu Xiangsheng had no other way to think except for ordering these guys who had no fighting spirit, either immediately reined in and merged into the Chinese army, or immediately retreated on the spot.

At this time, he only hoped that this overwhelming sandstorm would pass as soon as possible. Only after this dusty weather has passed as soon as possible can Lu Xiangsheng truly understand what the situation of the troops who have been attacked by surprise is now.

Lu Xiangsheng originally thought that the Tang army would take advantage of the dust to attack the Chinese army again, but what made him feel strange was that after the battle on the left and right flanks ended, the Tang army had not moved.

At this time, the real situation was that all the various units of the Dingbei Battalion of the Tang Army had set up a huge circular formation, shrunk Lu Xiangsheng into a group of Chinese troops, firmly surrounded them in the middle, and then patiently waited for the dust to pass before making the next battle arrangement.

After more than half an hour, this overwhelming sandstorm finally passed, and between heaven and earth, the dust settled and gradually returned to clarity.

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes widened rapidly.

He was horrified to see that only one part of the Chinese army was left in his originally huge military formation, and the rest of the left and right wings, as well as the logistics baggage troops behind them, had ceased to exist.

Instead, there was a large array of Tang troops in a circle, firmly encircling the Chinese army in the middle.

Lu Xiangsheng's face turned pale in an instant.

These Tang troops were so powerful that in just two quarters of an hour, they wiped out the left and right flanks of their own army formations and the logistics troops. Moreover, the number of such a strong rebel army is much more than his previous estimate of the thousands, and Lu Xiangsheng made a simple visual inspection and decided that the number of the Tang army was at least nearly 20,000.

And now, the Chinese army, which has only more than 10,000 people left, is only a little more than half of the number of the Tang army, and with this little bit of soldiers and horses, it is a serious problem not to say that the Tang army in this golden soup city will be wiped out, and whether it can be fought with it.

"Lord Lu, now that the left and right wings of our army, as well as the logistics troops, have been destroyed, and the Chinese army is firmly surrounded, the plan for today is to fight or retreat, please Lord Lu make a decision quickly!" Chen An, the captain of Lu Xiangsheng's cronies, whispered in horror on the side.

Lu Xiangsheng's face trembled, but before he could speak, a stern and loud voice sounded in front of his military formation.

"This will be Duan Shidi, the commander of the Dingbei Battalion of the Tang Army, Governor Lu, the defeat of the Er army has been decided, in order to save the lives of the soldiers of the Er Army, please ask Governor Lu not to continue to resist stubbornly."

Seeing Duan Shi, the commander of the Dingbei Battalion of the Tang Army, who was standing a stone's throw away from his own army formation, with a serious and solemn appearance, Lu Xiangsheng's heart was extremely gloomy, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, but he was silent and didn't reply.

"Governor Lu, my Lord Li, once expected that the imperial court would send Governor Lu to attack my Jintang City, so he specially instructed the general to show mercy to his subordinates and not to kill Lord Lu. Therefore, I hope that when Lord Li has already treated him leniently, Lord Lu will adapt to the situation and stop resisting in vain. Duan Shidi's voice came coldly again.

After Duan Shidi finished speaking, he whispered to the side, and some of his relatives and soldiers left willingly.

Soon, a group of pro-soldiers escorted the dejected Lu Xiangguan and Yang Guozhu over.

Seeing that his second brother and his most trusted lieutenant general had all fallen into the hands of Tang Jun, Lu Xiangsheng's face twitched, his beard trembled, and his eyes were full of sadness.

It's just that Lu Xiangsheng still didn't speak, his face was as gloomy as iron.

"Lord Lu, the left and right wings of the Erbu have been destroyed, and the logistics baggage has all been obtained by our army, and your last Chinese soldiers and horses are also firmly surrounded by our Tang army. If it weren't for the boasting of the general, the Erbu is now running out of food and food, and there are no reinforcements outside, so it can be said that it has fallen into a situation of death. In such a situation, even if Sun Wu is reborn and Zhuge is reborn, it cannot be done. If you are determined to fight to the death, what good will it do except to die more of your soldiers? ”

Duan Shidi's cold words were like a sharp knife, stabbing Lu Xiangsheng's heart fiercely.

Yes, now that it is a certain defeat, do you really have to fight hard, so that these soldiers under your command will be buried in this barren and vast place in the north?

It's just that he can really surrender to such a rebel in the court, the rebels of the Ming Dynasty? In this way, his name will be completely ruined in one fell swoop, and what difference can he have from those Ming Dynasty officials who surrendered to the Qing court and the Liukou!

If you must use your own blood and life to express your loyalty to the country and the court, let yourself be loyal to the country in this remote place in the north!

"You traitors, listen up, it's really a dream to want me Lu Jiandou to surrender to Li Xiao who rebelled against the imperial court!" Lu Xiangsheng finally gritted his teeth and said: "Since Lu has received the grace of the king, he only knows how to do his best for the country, and he will not miss the rest!" Lu Mou was unfavorable in this battle, but he could still fight this blood, and repay the emperor's mighty grace with all righteousness. Encore and other traitorous rats, bent his knees and surrendered, and he was shy! ”

Lu Xiangsheng thought that after he said this, Duan Shidi would be ashamed, but he didn't expect that Duan Shidi, who was opposite, raised his head and laughed after listening to his impassioned words.

"Battalion Commander Duan, what are you laughing at?!" Lu Xiangsheng asked sharply.

"Hmph, I laugh at you, Governor Lu, who has been reading poetry and books for many years, and he doesn't even know what righteousness is, but he is still embarrassed to speak loudly, and he is talking nonsense in front of the two armies!" Duan Shidi unceremoniously replied loudly.

"You, how dare you defy Ben Du like this, you are 。。。。。。" Lu Xiangsheng choked for a while, and he couldn't speak.

"Governor Lu, you said that if you want to fight to the death for the sake of righteousness, you must continue to fight to the death with our army regardless of this inevitable defeat and the lives of these soldiers. Personally, you have earned a so-called reputation for loyalty and righteousness, but the lives of these thousands of soldiers will be bloodstained in the wilderness, and their souls will be left behind. Do you, Governor Lu, really have a clear conscience? Can you really face those thousands of ghosts who are dead with peace of mind?! ”

Duan Shidi's words made Lu Xiangsheng's face feel hot and uncomfortable.

It's just that he was trembling with anger, and before he could reply, Duan Shidi sneered and continued: "Governor Lu, I would like to ask you, in this Ming Dynasty, is there anyone who can be like my Lord Li, who does not spend half a grain of rice grain in the imperial court, does not cost the country a copper plate, completely raises his own food and salary, trains soldiers and horses, resists the Tartars, exterminates the Liukou, and sends troops for the country, seizes Taiwan, Kezoi, occupies Sakhalin, and vigorously expands overseas land?" It's a pity that Lord Li fought for the country, and this pile of things is not a great achievement. However, the imperial court was deeply suspicious, and listened to the villain's slander, when the thieves were not destroyed and the Tartars were rampant, they wanted to do this bird's best strategy of hiding the bow, how not to make the loyal and upright people in the world completely chilled? ! ”

After listening to the painful words for a while, Lu Xiangsheng's face was very complicated, and after a long time, he also sighed.

"Governor Lu, the general can also tell you that with the combat strength of our Tang army, if you really want to rebel like Kong Youde Geng Zhongming that day, I am afraid that there is really no Ming army in the Ming Kingdom that is the opponent of our Tang army. The reason why my family deliberately forbears and does not fight with the court is really a practice of truly enduring humiliation and taking into account the overall situation. Because, if our army and the imperial court continue to fight like this, it will only be a battle between cranes and mussels, and the fishermen will benefit, and the real beneficiaries will be thieves and Tartars! And the only ones who really suffer are the country and the people. ”

Duan Shi paused and continued: "In the general's opinion, Lord Lu thinks that he is righteous, but he can't even talk about small righteousness, and Erbu and our army attack and kill each other in this remote place in the north of the country, but it is just a pain for the relatives and a quick for the enemy." As for what is the true righteousness, I would have thought that it was my family Lord Li, who was so persecuted by the imperial court, did not raise the anti-flag, and in the battle with Erbu, there was room everywhere, and he deliberately kept his life. What the general said, Governor Wanglu thought about it carefully! ”
