Chapter 62: Battle of Ye City (8)

Husband war, courage also.

At this time, the tide of battle outside Jianchun Gate was completely reversed.

"Put down your weapons, don't kill those who surrender!" The shouts shook the heavens and the earth.

The soldiers who followed Lu Yao's three breakthroughs, there were still twenty horsemen left at this time. Except for the three who were particularly seriously injured, the rest of the people followed closely behind Lu Yao. Chu Kun, who was originally responsible for raising flags at the head of Jianchun Gate, also brought several soldiers down at this time. They raised the white tiger banners high on all sides, and it became more and more powerful that the warriors who single-handedly turned the tide of the battle were mighty.

The heroic posture of Lu Yao and others galloping on horseback fell in the eyes of the soldiers of the begging army, which made countless people feel fascinated. Most of the beggar soldiers are from the state and the state, and they have a good impression of Lu Yao, a general who was born in the state army. Not to mention that Lu Yao made great contributions in the Jinyang War, and earned a lot of face for the people of Bingzhou. This made the faces of every beggar soldier glow with excitement.

Ni Yi is an excited beggar soldier.

Ni Yi is a Bashu person, his family has been farming for generations, passed to his generation, there is only one only son in the five suits, so he is named one, and the family loves him like a treasure, and he was sent to study for a few years. Ni Yi is his own name that he later changed. In the first year of Yongkang, Zhao Diao, the assassin of Yizhou, fought against Li Te, the homeless marshal, Yizhou was in turmoil, and wherever the war went, the original country of abundance was full of white bones, and it was suddenly not like the world. Ni Yi, who was only 14 years old at the time, was coerced into the army by thieves, and after many wars, he was finally completely separated from his family and went into exile in Liangzhou alone, taking refuge in the local Haoqiang as a tenant.

Two years later, in the second year of Tai'an, Sima Hao, the king of Hejian who guarded Guanzhong, ordered the general Zhang Fang to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Luoyang. As a result, Ni Yi was once again selected as a soldier and embarked on the journey. In the following years, there were constant wars between Heluo, and various forces were born and destroyed. Ni Yi relied on his courage and astuteness to move between many camps and saved his life by luck. At this time, he became a chief in the beggar army and was subordinate to Li Yun.

As the name suggests, the whole army is a homeless person struggling on the line of death, and all they think is just begging. That's why they left their homeland and came to the rich Wei County east of the Taihang Mountains. However, in the more than half a year since Ni Yi came to Wei County, there were more and more displaced people gathered around Yecheng, and the food supplies available to the beggar army became less and less. Although the soldiers have all dispersed to the banks of Zhangshui to go to Tuntian, before this summer's harvest, many people have begun to feed on wild fruits and mulberries.

Ni Yi saw many frail homeless people dying of disease and hunger, but the dignitaries and nobles in Yecheng were still prosperous, clothed and fed, immersed in a rich and luxurious life. In the past few days, he finally began to think: perhaps, being a thief is the best choice. At least the thieves can happily kill those hateful officials and enjoy themselves eating, drinking, and enjoying themselves. As for the rest, who can handle so much?

Until last night, the Jisang Shile thieves attacked the city in a big way. When Li Yun, Bo Sheng and others broke through from the city, Ni Yi was also one of the breakout soldiers. Along the way, he witnessed Lu Yao's rivalry with Huang Guo, the first fierce general of Jisang's subordinates, and did not hesitate to kill Sima Yu, a high-ranking official of the imperial court, to open a way for the people to go out of the city. And when the Jisang cavalry attacked, it was still this General Lu, who slaughtered Jisang on the battlefield with dozens of cavalry!

The experience of several hours before and after made Ni Yi very admired the brave and unafraid of the powerful General Lu. After all, he had studied in a private school for a few years, so he thought about it and cheered loudly: "General Lu is mighty!" The big husband should be like this! ”

"So, we won this battle?" One of the soldiers asked cautiously.

"Nonsense!" Ni Yi said categorically: "General Lu killed Jisang!" After a while, they all followed closely, killing a few thieves to avenge Mao Hu and the black dog! ”

Mao Hu and Black Dog were also soldiers in Ni Yi's ten-man team, and they were killed during the raid of the Shicai Thief Kou cavalry.

The sound of the battle in front of him was getting louder and louder, and between the flying dust, you could see the white tiger flags on all sides pointing obliquely forward, and Lu Yao shouted and rushed into battle, invincible.

The soldiers of the front team shouted: "Good! Kill another one! Another one! ”

Although the infantry of the beggar army lacked the command of officers, they also fought bravely. Ni Yi and the others were mixed in the team, and their steps forward were getting faster and faster.

One of the soldiers indifferently reminded everyone: "It's our turn! ”

It was Ni Yi's subordinate Ado who spoke. Addo was an extremely thin black-faced man with a somewhat sluggish expression. Ni Yi is already a little shorter than ordinary people, and Ado is half a head shorter than Ni Yi, so his head and bones around him are particularly thick. He was a homeless man who joined the army last month, he had no name or surname, and he didn't know where he was from, so everyone gave him a nickname Ado, and he kept calling him.

As one of the lowly pariah in this chaotic era, he is not afraid of death because he will die at any time. This nameless and surnameless Ado is the most ferocious of Ni Yi's subordinates. In the bloody battle of Shicai, he and Ni Yi each killed a thief army and hung their heads on their belts. Ni Yi's ten-man team originally had seven soldiers, but two were killed in the battle and two more enemies, and they didn't make any money or lose money.

Although Ni Yi is young, he is a veteran who moved from Bashu to Hebei, and he is naturally no less than others. He nodded and clenched his spear tightly: "General Lu has already crushed the enemy, how can our beggar army lag behind?" Hurry up and cut off a few heads! ”

In the intertwined cries of battle, the beggar army seemed to be surging in a whirlpool, launching attacks on Jisang's subordinates again and again. At the forefront of each offensive, Lu Yao and others rushed to kill on horseback, and immediately defeated several bandit troops who were still resisting stubbornly. Looking at it from afar, I feel that people are like tigers, horses are like dragons, and flags are like clouds rolling; Its heroes galloped and soared into the sky!

Half an hour later, except for a small part of the enemy who fled far away with the advantage of the cavalry, the rest of the people were surrounded by the beggar army with a far superior number, and they could not advance or retreat. At the same time, Lu Yao and others took the surrender as the guide, and held high the head of Jisang to persuade them to surrender, which made the morale of their generation even lower, and they no longer had the slightest will to fight. In the end, more than half of the more than 2,000 elite thieves who attacked the beggar army with Jisang were killed, and all those who did not surrender were killed. The soldiers of the beggar army were so slippery that they even cut down a lot of those who surrendered a little slowly and did not put down their weapons in time.

At this time, about the hour will pass, and the time will not come. The thick smoke in Yecheng obscured half of the sky, so that the sunlight looked gray. A lot of fly ash slowly fell, falling on the corpses and pools of blood all over the field, adding a dull gray layer to the red ground. These flying ashes are sprinkled with water, and it is inevitable that if you inhale a little, your throat will itch uncontrollably.

When Li Yun and other beggar generals drove out of the Jian'an Post in disgrace, they saw that Lu Yao had selected more than 300 particularly elite soldiers from the Jisang Soldiers, and they were being reorganized into the army, intending to enter the city to fight.

Li Yun was slightly injured in two more places in the defensive battle of Jian'an Station, and at this moment, with the support of the soldiers on the left and right, he barely rushed to the city of Jianchun Gate. Seeing this scene, he hurriedly jumped forward on one foot, pulled the reins of the war horse that Lu Yao was riding, and said in a low voice: "Daoming, they are all thieves for many years, and they have no morality at all, how can they be used to fight with confidence?" …… Don't trust them! ”

Judging from the experience of the past day, Li Yun is really not an excellent general, but he does treat people sincerely and caringly, and he is a rare loyal person.

But Lu Yao would not tell Li Yun that almost all of these 300 people were soldiers under Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu in the past, because the king of Chengdu was defeated, he had to serve under Jisang. Among them, Liu Fei, Bai Miao and others led by Lu Zhi were all dead soldiers arranged early in the Jisang army, and there were old acquaintances of Lu Yao in the team...... Lu Yao looked at it with a smile, and saw that Chen Pei, the former cavalry governor under the command of the king of Chengdu, had a red face and was standing uncomfortably.

In just a few moments, Lu Yao had already broken up and reorganized these three hundred people, and then mixed them into three teams with the Jin army knights who rushed with him. The first team was led by Lu Yao himself, and the leaders of the other two teams were Xue Tong and Shen Jin. Chen Pei, Liu Fei, Bai Miao, and other people with more prestige among the people held deputy positions. These people are all robbers and giants who have moved to the north and south, and they are fierce and good at fighting, they are the elite cavalry of Ding Miao's department in the Jinyang army, but I am afraid that they are not as good as them. If you use them for your own use, it can be called a powerful help.

Of course, Lu Yao didn't expect these rampant thieves to become loyal and reliable warriors in the blink of an eye. It will take a long time to completely subdue them. However, in the current situation, in fact, there is no need for these cavalry to enter the battle, as long as the thieves in the city see these people, it is enough to collapse Shi Le, Huang Guo and the like.

He leaned over and patted Li Yun's arm and said, "Don't worry! ”

Lu Yao pointed to the cavalry and spoke in the loudest voice so that all the people around him could hear it, including the soldiers of the begging army and those uneasy soldiers: "General Li doesn't need to worry too much, Lu has his own measure." Don't you know that the situation is so chaotic that the livelihood of tens of millions of Lebanese people is difficult? I believe that many of them were once peaceful people who succumbed to thieves because they did not want to starve to death. Which of them was born a thief? Who wants to be a thief for the rest of their lives? ”

Lu Yao turned around, his sharp gaze swept over everyone, and he said loudly: "From today on, you are all my Yamen general Lu Yao's subordinates. In the past, I will never pursue it. I will give you food to eat and pay for you, as long as you obey the orders and kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!" ”

These words were not so much addressed to the three hundred soldiers selected as to the rest of the remnants of the Jisang thieves, and they spread far away, causing a slight commotion among the descendants, who were divided into several guards.

"No need to delay, issue weapons!" With a wave of his hand, Lu Yao immediately awarded weapons and armor to these three hundred people, and the horses were also fully equipped.

Half a quarter later, three hundred cavalry swept through Jianchun Gate like a violent wind and rushed straight into Yecheng.
