Chapter 762: Death Makes Intentions
Ge Huaimin stood quietly on the wall, his thoughts fluctuated in his mind, remembering that when he came with the troops, Su Jin earnestly told him to evacuate as long as he frustrated the enemy's spirit, and he must not fight to the death with the enemy, and he must preserve his strength to fight the enemy to the death in Weizhou.
But Ge Huaimin came with the heart of death, Li Zhihe's case has made him lose face, and when Enshuai Han Qi came to Weizhou last time, he scolded Ge Huaimin in front of everyone, which made Ge Huaimin depressed for several days without sleeping; He was originally promoted by Han Qi, and he became a commander of the four products in three years from an ordinary soldier, and in Ge Huaimin's heart, he had long regarded Han Qi as his mentor and father, and he respected and loved Han Qi in his heart.
After Li Zhihe pulled himself into the water, although Su Jin pointed out Ge Huaimin's mistake, in fact, Ge Huaimin still felt that it was not a big deal, and there was indeed something wrong, but it was not to the point of being incorrigible to make a mistake, at most it was just a meritorious service, with such an idea, Ge Huaimin actually didn't regard his mistake as a big deal.
But when Han Qi came to Weizhou that day, he not only scolded him in person, but also refused Han Qi when he asked to see him in private afterwards, Han Qi ordered someone to bring him a message, and he didn't want to see Ge Huaimin appear in front of him again, just as the two of them knew each other, he Han Qi was blind.
Of course, he had no resentment towards Han Qi and Ge Huaimin, but Han Qi's words hit him too hard, he originally appreciated himself and promoted his own handsome and despised and alienated him because of this incident, which made Ge Huaimin sleepless at night, and gradually Ge Huaimin figured out a truth, the mistakes he made with Li Zhi and Xu Wei and others could not be made up for by killing a few enemy generals in a few victories, in any case, it would be a shame for him for a lifetime, and there was only one way that could really make him wash away this shame, that is, to die in battle and die in Mingzhi.
Now is the best time, once the Xia army under the hillside completes the whole team and starts to charge, this village will be broken; Ge Huaimin made up his mind to live and die with Dingchuan Village, but he didn't want these brothers under his command to accompany him to death.
"Brothers." Ge Huaimin faced the Song army, and his hoarse voice sounded: "The final charge of the Western Thieves is about to begin, and this walled wall will not last long, and we are afraid that we will all die here." The Song soldiers slowly got up and looked at Ge Huaimin expressionlessly.
"But I don't want you to die here, Lord Su said, I want to save my strength until I return to Weizhou to fight to the death with the western thieves, so now I have ordered you to evacuate from under the wall of the South Gate immediately, and ten miles to the south is Liu Liaobao, where General Zhang Jiong is stationed, and you can arrive in a quarter of an hour; I have a request, when you return to Weizhou City, I will send a message to Master Su for me, and say that I, Ge Huaimin, have not disgraced him, and we will annihilate more than 3,000 horsemen of the Western Thieves with 400 casualties, and severely defeat the front of the Western Thieves, and live up to our mission. ”
When the soldiers heard what he said, they looked at each other, and the guards who had followed him for many years hurriedly asked, "What about Commander Ge?" Won't you evacuate with us? ”
Ge Huaimin laughed and said: "This time the commander will not go with you, the commander will leave for you to break off, after you leave, you have to walk from the thorny path of Qianmo, otherwise you will be chased and killed by the cavalry, go quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave." ”
"Commander Ge, let's go together, if you don't go, we won't go." Someone shouted.
Ge Huaimin said: "What are you talking about? This is the last order of this commander, do you want to disobey it? Now we are a great victory, and when everyone dies here, it will be a great defeat, you see, the enemy has outflanked us from both flanks, and if we don't leave, we will all die here. ”
The crowd asked, "But...... Commander Ge, why did you leave alone to die? Wouldn't it be better for us to walk together? ”
Ge Huaimin showed a painful look on his face, and said softly: "You are so self-conscious, you are all old subordinates who have followed me for several years, there will be some of you who will be officials and generals in the future, just remember the last advice of this commander, some things in the world can be done, and some cannot be done; Those who can't do it will pay a heavy price, and that's the case with my old brother, I did what I couldn't do, and I was ashamed to tell others and my conscience, so I could only pay for my mistakes with death. ”
"Commander Ge, everyone has forgiven you, the emperor said that for the sake of Lord Su's face, you are allowed to treat your crimes and make meritorious contributions, why do you have to get along with yourself? Come with us, or we'll all die here with you. ”
Ge Huaimin was furious, stretched out his hand, pulled out his sword, and scolded across his neck: "You are still not my old Ge's soldiers? If you still respect me as a leader, then give me all the way out immediately, otherwise I will commit suicide immediately, and you will force it. ”
The army exclaimed, "No! Generals don't have to be impulsive. ”
Ge Huaimin put his sword around his neck, looked at everyone deeply, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Let's go, I promise you, I will be brothers again in the next life." ”
All the Song soldiers burst into tears, knelt down and kowtowed to Ge Huaimin, shouting: "Commander Ge, you will be a brother in the next life, don't break your word." ”
Ge Huaimin's eyes were full of tears, and he forced himself to endure his emotions, pretending to ignore the frowning and waving his hand, and the soldiers cried bitterly, leaving dozens of long ropes and falling down from the Nanzhai wall one after another, and then quickly dispersed into the wilderness, and there was no trace in a moment.
……
Tuoba Qingshou picked up a big bargain for no reason, as the so-called predecessors planted trees and later people enjoyed the coolness, Yuan Dezhong worked hard for a long time, but he picked up a cheap for nothing, even if he was good at covering up on weekdays, he couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth at this moment.
Happy to be happy, Tuoba Qingshou is a fine person, even if it is a half-dead leper dog, if you are not careful, you will be bitten by it, so the arrangement can not be negligent, he ordered his cavalry to attack with a shield, usually he disdains to look at the shield this thing, but here can not only prevent arrows but also on the head to prevent fire, can be described as an artifact to attack this village.
Of course, Tuoba Qingshou is also bound to win, and the results should be brilliant, then all the Song troops in Dingchuan Village will be annihilated, and he does not want to let the Song army have a fish to slip through the net under absolute superiority, so he deliberately ordered two thousand soldiers and horses to detour around and cut off the road to the south of Dingchuan Village.
After everything was ready, Tuoba Qingshou gave an order, 3,000 cavalry slowly attacked from the front with shields, another 2,000 cavalry outflanked and cut off its back road, and 5,000 men and horses slowly closed towards Dingchuan Village.
There was not a single figure on the wall of Dingchuan Village, and the soldiers of the Song Army liked to hide behind the battlement wall composed of shields, and suddenly shot out a rain of arrows, which Tuoba Qingshou had already witnessed with his own eyes, so he was not in a hurry, and only ordered the soldiers to keep the formation and approach slowly.
When he was about to reach the bottom of the wall, Song Jun didn't react at all, let alone a bow and arrow, even a small stone was not thrown, and it was a little scary to be calm.
But the lesson of the previous car is still in front of us, the stinking charred corpses all over the ground remind everyone not to be careless, the shields of the soldiers gradually moved up to the top of their heads, to prevent the sudden Song soldiers from the sky to drop fire oil, at the same time, Tuoba Qing guards sent up more than 300 simple ladders, along the wall of the wall to lean on the upper half circle; At this time, Song Jun should have made a move, but in fact, there was still no movement.
Tuoba Qingshou felt that something was wrong, and he could still calm down at this time, are these Song soldiers stupid?
"Drop the hook, pull." Tuoba Keimoro ordered.
Thousands of hooks jumped from the bottom of the walled city to the top of the walled wall, and the soldiers pulled down, and suddenly a bunch of shields, broken bows, mud and stones fell down from the ping pong, but not even a single Song soldier was caught.
"It's not good, it seems that Song Jun ran away." Tuoba Qing guarded a stirring spirit in his heart, and at this time the left side rode to the dust, and the person who came was a capital head of the left side of the detour to outflank the rear road troops, and the head of the capital shouted from afar: "General Tuoba, there is a long rope falling out of the wall of the south wall of the Song army, presumably the Song army has fled, and our people have chased down, and I am afraid that there is no one in this village." ”
Tuoba Qingshou almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, but he taught people to run away under his nose, this face was embarrassed, and he was still preparing this and that, but as a result, people patted their butts and there was no shadow.
"Chase, chase me, they don't have horses, they can't escape far, hurry up and chase them, and no one is allowed to escape." Tuoba Qingshou stomped his feet and shouted, his voice becoming thinner.
The head of the capital hurriedly agreed, turned the horse's head and galloped away, and the thousands of soldiers under the walled city were dumbfounded, and looked at Tuoba Qingshou with blinking eyes one by one, which meant to ask what to do now?
Tuoba Qingshou scolded: "What are you still doing in a daze? Climb up for me, in case there's anyone in there. ”
The soldiers woke up like a dream, and hurriedly grabbed the rope, kicked the ladder up, and soon all climbed to the wall; Tuoba Qingshou also quickly climbed the wall, raised his eyes to see, the wall was full of clods of soil and blood and dozens of corpses, looking at the wall, there were only a few houses in the wall, and the rest of the places were all tents set up, which looked quiet, and did not want to be a person at all.
"Leave 500 people to guard the wall, and the others will go down with me to have a look." Tuoba Qingshou first walked into the village along the soil steps inside the wall, and the soldiers quickly followed up and down to the ground in the wall, and began to check and search the tent, the tent was naturally empty, but there were many rats that were scared to drill around.
Tuoba Qingshou's brows twisted into a pimple, and one soldier after another came to report: "Report to the general, I haven't seen the Song army." ”
"Report to the general, there is no trace of the enemy."
"Report ......"
"Okay, okay......" Tuoba Qingshou waved his hand and scolded: "What kind of funeral, Lao Tzu knows." Tuoba Qingshou stood by an adobe house with a gloomy face and sighed, a great merit went with the wind, these cunning Song troops are really not worry-free, can't they just stay here and wait for Lao Tzu to strangle you?
Tuoba Qingshou, who was in a depressed mood, sat down on a stone pier, looked up at the walled city that brought him unpleasantness, and thought about how to return to Yeli Wangrong, the sun was shining directly into his eyes, and his eyes narrowed.
Suddenly, his frightened pupils opened in violation of physiological laws, and in the reflection of the pupils, a figure quickly expanded, and in the frightened cries of the surrounding soldiers, a burly figure holding a cold and dazzling sword swooped down from the roof like a goshawk, and the cold blade slashed through the air, as if to freeze the scorching air around it.
