Guan Hai, who held the handle of the knife with both hands and led thousands of Pu Dao soldiers to cut off the retreat of the Xiliang Army, saw Hu Chi'er hiding in the Xiliang Army, a hideous smile appeared on his blood-covered face, roared, picked up the big knife, and pounced on Hu Che'er.

The Luoyang Army attacked on three sides, and the defense line of the Xiliang Army collapsed little by little. With the fall of pieces of soldiers of the Xiliang Army, the remaining Xiliang Army, the only remaining bit of fighting spirit in their chests has also been wiped out.

Hiding in the crowd of the Xiliang Army, seeing the officers and soldiers fall under the swords of the Luoyang Army, Hu Chi'er also had bursts of irrepressible fear in his heart.

The Luoyang army that surrounded them had more than 10,000 people, and there was still black pressure on the top of the mountain, and it was impossible to tell how many Luoyang troops were eyeing them, and they could participate in the battle at any time. At this time, Hu Chi'er had already greeted Niu Fu and Dong Xian's ancestors from the bottom of his heart.

But even if he scolded Niu Fu and Dong Xian's ancestral graves with green smoke, now that the defeat is decided, it will not help to save the rout of the Xiliang army, and the only way to let more people survive is to break through and kill down the mountain.

"Kill!" Hu Chi'er was looking around, looking for a position where the Luoyang army's defense was relatively weak and could be broken through by the Xiliang army, when a loud roar suddenly came from his side.

Hearing the roar, he hurriedly turned his head to look to the side, and what appeared in his sight was Guan Hai with both hands brandishing a big knife and covered in blood, like a bloody man.

The big knife in Guan Hai's hand was like a windmill slashing left and right, and the big knife passed everywhere, and the Xiliang army in front of him was all chopped with a broken stomach and a corpse on the spot.

Since he led the army to rush out, Guan Hai didn't know how many Xiliang troops he had killed, and he was killing at Xing's head at this time, and when he saw Hu Chi'er from afar, he couldn't suppress the killing intent in his heart, and the big knife flew over, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to a place only three or four steps away from Hu Chi'er.

Seeing Guan Hai rushing up, Hu Chi'er was taken aback, hurriedly raised his long sword, and put on a posture to fight Guan Hai.

But at this moment, in the main formation of the Luoyang Army on the mountain, the banner suddenly flipped and played a flag to suspend the fighting.

Seeing the banner rolling, all the Luoyang troops were stunned. The two sides fought for half a day, and most of the more than 10,000 Xiliang troops had been killed, and the remaining few troops, the Luoyang army, only needed to increase their strength to defeat them in one fell swoop.

Victory was in sight, but Pang Tong issued an order to suspend the fight at this time, and all the Luoyang troops were at a loss, not knowing what Pang Tong was doing.

Just when the soldiers of the Luoyang Army on the mountainside retreated, just leaving a breather for the remnants of the Xiliang Army, a war horse slowly walked down the mountain.

Riding on horseback was Tai Shici, who was carrying a tiger on his back and two halberds behind him.

"A certain Donglai Tai Shi Ci!" When he arrived only twenty or thirty steps away from the Xiliang Army, which was trembling and shrunk into a ball and full of fear, Tai Shici reined in his horse and shouted to the Xiliang Army with a cold face: "Your Highness is kind-hearted, and you can't bear to live in misery, and you want to let go of a way to live, I don't know if you want to live or die?" ”

Surrounded by groups and already completely desperate for survival, Xiliang Jun, hearing Tai Shici's words, narrowed his eyes one by one, first looked at each other, and then set his eyes on Tai Shici.

"Your Highness has a word!" Riding on horseback, Tai Shici held the reins in one hand and pressed the hilt of the sword with the other, and shouted loudly to the officers and soldiers of Xiliang: "Those who are willing to serve His Highness will all be incorporated into our army, eat and sleep with the officers and soldiers of our army, have the same military salary, and have meat every day in the army!" Those who are unwilling to serve, His Royal Highness will not force them to stay, issue travel expenses, and subsidize the return to Xiliang! ”

After listening to Tai Shici's words, all the Xiliang soldiers showed a stunned and dazed look on their faces, and some of them wanted to put down their blades and surrender to the Luoyang army.

"Don't listen to this man's rumors!" Seeing that many Xiliang soldiers had shown the intention of surrendering, Hu Chi'er was in a panic in his heart, and hurriedly shouted to the officers and soldiers of Xiliang: "If we put down our swords, we will ......also die."

"You're the one who deceives the crowd!" Before Hu Chi'er finished shouting, Tai Shici was already frowning, raised his arm and pointed at him, interrupted his words with a broken snort, and said to him: "Your Highness has the heart to let you live, you don't know what to do, if you follow this general, I will kill you with a halberd today!" ”

Having said this, Tai Shici's tone suddenly became a little more helpless, and he said to Hu Chi'er: "When General Ben went down the mountain, His Highness specially ordered. If you are willing to take refuge in our army, Your Highness will treat you well, and your past grudges will be written off! If you don't want to do it, I'll let you go! There you go! ”

After saying this, Tai Shici twisted his head to the side, as if he was very unwilling to let Hu Chi'er go.

With round eyes, he looked at Tai Shici for a long time, Hu Chi'er knew that if he didn't leave at this moment, I was afraid that he would really die on this mountain today. So he clasped his fists with both hands, arched towards Tai Shi Ci, beckoned to the Xiliang army, and shouted to the officers and soldiers of Xiliang: "Go down the mountain with General Ben!" ”

A few Xiliang soldiers heard Hu Chi'er's shout, followed him with weapons, and wanted to run down the hill. Tai Shici, who was riding on horseback, shouted at this time: "Hu Chi'er can only bring two followers when he goes down the mountain, and the rest of the people are waiting here!" ”

Hearing Tai Shici's shout, the Luoyang army that stopped on the lower side of the mountainside hurriedly stepped forward and blocked the way of Hu Chi'er and the others.

Turning around and glancing at Tai Shi Ci, knowing that if he argued with Tai Shi Ci at this time, he would definitely not get any benefits, Hu Chi'er's eyes narrowed slightly, snorted coldly, and went down the mountain with two entourages.

Thousands of Xiliang soldiers were surrounded by the Luoyang army on the mountainside, and after they dropped their weapons, they were crowded together in fear, and their eyes full of fear kept wandering around the Luoyang army.

Not long after Hu Chi'er descended the mountain, several healthy horses came down from the mountain. Walking in front of this team was Liu Wei, who was wearing gold armor and a gilded crown on his head.

Slowly walking to Tai Shici's side, Liu Wei restrained his horse and looked at the Xiliang army huddled not far away with an expressionless face.

Tai Shi Ci on the side rode on horseback, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed slightly to Liu Bian, and Liu Bian turned his head and said to Tai Shi Ci: "Ziyi, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army are probably also hungry." Command some corn and meat to eat, and let them eat before they are satisfied. ”

What Liu said was an understatement, but in the ears of the officers and soldiers of Xiliang, it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

If Liu Wei wanted to kill them, he would definitely not waste food for them to eat, although Liu Wei did not say it, but this move undoubtedly told the officers and soldiers of Xiliang that they had been pardoned and did not have to worry about dying on the mountain.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your life!" Dropping a sentence, Liu Bianle turned his horse and was just about to return to the top of the mountain, when a group of Xiliang soldiers who reacted faster were already kneeling on the ground, and kept kowtowing to him to thank him.

Someone took the lead, and more Xiliang soldiers knelt down, but in a moment, thousands of surviving Xiliang soldiers knelt on the ground one after another, pouting their buttocks and lying on their stomachs, and some even thought that they could be pardoned without having to die, and they were already crying excitedly.

Stopping the war horse, Liu Wei tilted his head back slightly, did not speak again, but sighed lightly with a little compassion, clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, and rode the horse to the top of the mountain.

The few guards who followed Liu Wei also did not dare to fall for half a step, and followed the horses towards the mountain.

Holding his fists and watching Liu Wei leave, it was not until Liu Wei walked away that Tai Shici turned his head, looked at the Xiliang army kneeling on the ground, and shouted to them: "You have also seen that Your Highness is magnanimous and has forgiven your sins." Those who are willing to join my Luoyang army stand up and stand on the right side; Those who are willing to return to Xiliang will stay where they are. As for the wounded and inconvenient to return to Xiliang, our army will resettle them, distribute farmland in the future, and hope to plough the countryside, so as not to help the rebel party again! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your life! General Xie is the beauty of perfection! All the Xiliang soldiers knelt on the ground and thanked Tai Shi Ci again, and then they stood up one after another.

When the officers and soldiers of Xiliang stood up, they all had a little hesitation on their faces.

A moment ago, they were still fighting to the death with the army in red robes in front of them, and at this moment they were actually about to make a decision whether to join this hostile army or not. No matter who this choice is placed on, it is inevitable that there will be a feeling that there is a big gap.

After a long while, two Xiliang soldiers finally glanced at each other, and timidly raised their feet and walked towards the right.

When these two Xiliang soldiers walked to the right side of the Lu, not only did they look at Tai Shici with trepidation, but they also glanced at the thousands of companions behind them tremblingly from time to time.

When people are in the process of making difficult choices, once someone makes a choice, there is a ripple effect. Soon, more Xiliang troops walked towards the right, and after a while, the Xiliang army, which was still standing in place, only had less than a hundred people left.

"If you promise to return to Xiliang and never set foot in the Central Plains again, this general will issue copper coins today to fund you and others!" After all the Xiliang troops had made their choice, Tai Shici said to the less than 100 Xiliang soldiers who did not want to take refuge: "Wait until you finish eating, and you can get the money and leave!" ”

After listening to Tai Shi Ci's words, less than 100 Xiliang soldiers hurriedly knelt on the ground, and the one kneeling in front said to Tai Shi Ci: "It's not that we don't want to join the army, it's just that we have been away from home for a long time and miss our parents at home, so we ......."

"Needless to say!" Without waiting for Naxi Liangjun to finish speaking, Tai Shici raised a hand and said to him: "Everyone has their own ambitions, Your Highness will not embarrass you and wait, and General Ben will not embarrass you and wait." Those who are willing to join our army will be promoted to the rank of knight and return to their hometown in the future, and you will see each other at that time, don't be jealous! ”

After speaking, Tai Shi Ci waved to his side, and a soldier hurriedly stepped forward and stood aside with his fists clenched.

"Go get some copper coins!" Riding on horseback, Tai Shici turned his head to look at the soldier and said to him: "In addition, let people send some corn and meat, and the recruits will be able to make a fire on the mountainside to make food today!" ”

"No!" The soldier answered, turned and ran to the top of the hill.

"Guan Hai and Guan Qing are two generals!" When the soldier left, Tai Shici said to Guan Hai and Guan Qing, who were covered in blood and waiting on the side: "Your Highness gave an order before, please ask the two generals to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to return to the mountain, so that the soldiers can rest and rest, and wait for the next day, and then start a decisive battle with the enemy army in Zheng County!" ”
