41.Chapter 41: The White Horse Falls
Wang Yan saw that his generals had fallen off his horse, and hurriedly sent five Yellow Turban generals to rescue him.
However, Chen Hu moved too fast, and after shooting this yellow turban general away, he carried a gun on his horse, and stabbed this person under the horse with another shot.
The five Yellow Turban generals who rushed over were furious when they saw this, and they all took weapons to kill Chen Hu.
Chen Hu is still not afraid, and he fights five Yellow Turban generals alone, and he does not fall behind at all.
Seeing this, Wang Yan said to everyone: "I never thought that I hadn't seen him for a few years, this person is more and more brave and extraordinary, and Chen Jiaerlang is really a fierce general!" ”
Although the Yellow Turban generals around him were not convinced, they thought that if they were themselves, it would be impossible for them to fight five people alone, and they did not dare to speak.
The six of them went back and forth on the battlefield, and the fight was so lively, and the officers and soldiers on the city wall cheered continuously.
At this moment, Chen Xu led everyone out of the city, and the generals beside him were all furious when they saw the Yellow Turban Army fighting five to one, and scolded loudly: "The thief is so shameless, he bullies more and less!" ”
After scolding, someone wanted to go to help Chen Hu, but was stopped by Chen Xu.
With his vision, it can naturally be seen that Chen Hu is gaining the upper hand, although these five Yellow Turban generals have some skills, but compared with Chen Hu, they are far behind.
Although Chen Hu's experience is not as good as that of a few people, he has brute strength.
After Chen Xu's teaching, he gained the essence of the Ten Meetings with One Force, and as the battle became longer and longer, Chen Hu's spear dance became more and more handy.
After a few more rounds of fighting, Chen Hu secretly thought: Although I have the upper hand, I can't take them in a hurry, if it drags on for a long time, won't I let others laugh?
He remembered what Chen Xu had told him about the return of the horse pistol, and thought: These six people have made me scramble, every time I want to kill one person, several other people will come to the rescue, I might as well use that trick to kill one person first.
Speaking of returning to the carbine, Chen Xu didn't know much about it, but he just told Chen Hu some principles, but fortunately, Chen Hu had a good understanding and could actually make a good appearance.
The drums were rumbling, and the soldiers on both sides were desperately waving their flags and shouting for their generals, but the Yellow Turban Army, with five enemies and one enemy, lost first in momentum, and the shouts were not as loud as the officers and soldiers.
After more than ten rounds of fighting, the Yellow Turban generals found that Chen Hu's strength on the gun was not as great as before, and they were all overjoyed, they all thought that Chen Hu's endurance was not good, and his follow-up was weak.
In the camp of officers and soldiers, some people found that Chen Hu was at a disadvantage, and hurriedly said: "The second general is now at a disadvantage, should we go to the rescue?" ”
When Chen Xu heard this, he just shook his head.
After a while, Chen Hu seemed to run out of strength, and hurriedly turned his horse to the main formation, how could the six Yellow Turban generals give up? They all desperately chased after him, trying to cut Chen Hu under their horses.
Horses are fast and slow, and chasing is precedent.
As a result, several Yellow Turban generals were separated.
Chen Hu deliberately slowed down the horse, and when he saw a person chasing after him, he turned around suddenly, shouted, and stabbed the Yellow Turban general who was running in front under the horse with a single shot.
Several other people were shocked when they saw this, and were about to rein in their horses, when they saw Chen Hu turning his horse's head, relying on the horse's speed, killing two people in a row, and the other two did not dare to fight, so they ran back to their own formation.
Seeing that their generals were so brave and their morale was greatly boosted, the officers and men all waved their flags and shouted desperately.
Chen Xu took the opportunity to raise his spear and took the lead in killing the Yellow Turban Army, and the officers and soldiers also fought desperately forward.
The Yellow Turban Army was already bullying more and less, but Chen Hu killed three people in a row, and his morale suddenly plummeted.
The strength of the two sides is almost the same, but the morale of the officers and soldiers is high, and with the two fierce generals Chen Xu and Chen Hu rushing left and right, although the Yellow Turban Army is brave, it is also inferior.
When they fought a pillar of incense, and saw their soldiers fall in a pool of blood one by one, Chen Xu and Wang Yan seemed to have a soul in their hearts, and they all ordered Ming Jin to withdraw their troops.
After the first battle, it can be regarded as a mutual victory and defeat.
Wang Yan had no intention of fighting, and the purpose of his attack was just to put pressure on Puyang City and drag down the officers and soldiers in the army.
Today, since he saw that the number of officers and soldiers had not decreased, he was relieved.
It's just that Chen Hu's rash battle provoked the Yellow Turban generals to go and fight alone, breaking a few people, Wang Yan felt quite uncomfortable.
Chen Xu didn't want to fight with the Yellow Turban Army, after all, he killed a thousand enemies and lost eight hundred. What the officers and soldiers needed was to defeat the Yellow Turban Army with surprise soldiers, not to fight head-on.
Chen Hu's rash attack can be said to have disrupted the plans of the main generals of both sides, and the two armies fought in a confused manner.
Back in the city, Chen Xu counted the soldiers and horses, and found that seven or eight hundred people had been folded, and Chen Xu was heartbroken.
Looking at Chen Hu, who was still smug, Chen Xu was furious and shouted: "Where is the military judge?" ”
The military judge replied: "The last general! ”
Chen Xu asked: "According to the military orders of our army, what should be the crime of those who do not obey the orders and go to war without authorization?" ”
Glancing at Chen Hu, the military judge was a little speechless, but after he saw Chen Xu with a gloomy face, his heart sank, and he hurriedly said loudly: "Those who don't listen to orders and disobey military orders should be beheaded according to the law!" ”
Ignoring the stunned generals, Chen Xu said in a cold voice: "Chen Hu, as the deputy leader of the rebel army, did not listen to the order and went to battle without authorization. Where is the left and right? Pull him down and cut him down, and take his head to pass on to the three armies! ”
When the generals in the army heard this, they were all shocked!
The soldiers standing on the left and right were almost all people who came with them from Chenjia Village, knowing that Chen Xu and Chen Hu had a close relationship, how could they dare to take Chen Hu? They all hesitated.
Seeing this, Chen Xu was furious, drew his sword in his hand, and said loudly: "I am the main general, do you want to disobey?" ”
When the soldiers heard this, they were all shocked.
Disobedience is a capital crime, and several people had to reluctantly come to Chen Hu and take him down.
Chen Hu killed several Yellow Turban generals today, and he was happy in his heart, hoping that Chen Xu could praise him, but he didn't expect that his brother, whom he had always respected, would actually kill him.
His eyes were red, Chen Hu's neck was stiff, and he said angrily: "If you want to kill, you will kill, I, Chen Hu, will never beg for mercy!" ”
Chen Xu was even angrier in his heart, raised the long sword in his hand, and was about to kill Chen Hu.
Chen Jing stood aside, and when she heard Chen Hu's words, she knew that it was not good.
Seeing Chen Xu's movements, he hugged Chen Xu and said in a mournful voice: "Brother, although Ah Hu did not obey the military order, he killed several generals of the Yellow Turban Army before the battle, but it was a great achievement, brother, please think twice." ”
At this time, the rest of the generals also reacted and persuaded one after another: "Killing the general in battle will shake the hearts of the army, and the general should think twice." ”
"General Chen Hu fought bravely to kill the enemy and made great contributions, why don't you take the merits?"
For a while, the camp tent was full of voices pleading for Chen Hu.
Chen Xu was not prepared to kill Chen Hu, but seeing that everyone was pleading, his face softened, and said: "Chen Hu disobeyed the military order and went to war without authorization, which was originally a capital crime, but he had a merit in killing the enemy, and he had the right to spare his life." ”
"However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, drag him down left and right, beat him with twenty military sticks, and then tell the three armies!"
After speaking, Chen Xu no longer paid attention to the crowd, flicked his long sleeves, and walked out of the camp.
Chen Hu's face was indignant, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by Chen Jing.
……
The fact that Chen Hu was beaten with 20 military sticks caused an uproar in the barracks.
When the soldiers saw this, they were all in their hearts.
The commander of his own family governs the army so strictly, even his own clan brother has made a great contribution to killing thieves, because he disobeyed the military order, he will be beheaded to show the public, if it were not for the intercession of many generals, I am afraid that the corpse has been separated.
Since then, the military orders in Puyang County have been like a mountain, and the soldiers and generals no longer dare to violate the slightest offense.
After Chen Hu was beaten with a military stick, he was always angry in his heart, he was sick and recuperated at home, and refused to come to the barracks again, and Chen Xu never went to see him once.
For a while, the relationship between the two seemed to become a little delicate.
On this day, Chen Xu was dealing with military affairs in the big tent, and suddenly someone came to report, saying that there were many white horse heroes who came to Puyang City.
When Chen Xu heard this, he sighed in his heart, what should have come has come after all.
The county guard's mansion, Qiao Mao met with many rich and powerful families of white horses. Most of these people were disheveled and sad.
White Horse City was broken too suddenly, and they all fled with some of their own private soldiers, and the wealth accumulated by the family for generations, and even many family members, did not escape.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Xu saw that a person who seemed to be the leader said to the bridge hat: "The city of White Horse is broken, the county order is martyred, and we implore the county guard to send troops to recapture the White Horse." ”
The other people who escaped from the white horse also spoke out in response.
Although Qiao Mao was the Taishou of Dongjun, he didn't dare to offend these people, and his face showed embarrassment, so he had to look at Chen Xu, who had just entered the door.
Seeing this, Chen Xu had no choice but to bow to the powerful and wealthy families of the White Horse, and said: "The Yellow Turban thieves attacked the White Horse just for money, grain and grass, even if we send troops now, and the starry night will not be able to stop the Yellow Turban thieves from plundering the White Horse City." ”
"Besides, Puyang soldiers and horses are far less than the Yellow Turban Army, if you rashly send troops out of the city, Puyang City will be in danger!"
Since someone started, the county officials naturally spoke out against it.
Their families are all in Puyang, so they naturally don't want to put Puyang in danger for the sake of the white horse.
The rich and powerful families of the white horse, seeing that Puyang was unwilling to send troops, although they were unhappy in their hearts, they did not dare to force too much, and finally had to return in a huff.
