Chapter 504 Two-legged sheep (2)
Looking at the fierce battle not far away, Li Chugeng's troops who quietly crossed the Lishui River did not respond and continued to hide in the woods and grass behind the ferry.
The reason why they stopped moving forward was, on the one hand, they worked hard to rush, consumed a lot of physical strength, needed time to rest, and also needed time to gather the soldiers who had fallen behind; on the other hand, the troops responsible for the first wave of attacks were commandos composed of low-level officers from Jiangling City. In order to allow the court to quickly control the Nanping Country, they had to be killed here in a reasonable manner!
It sounds cruel, but this is the fact. Of course, this solution cannot be openly public. Even if the entire Jiangling defenders are destroyed, it will only be the dereliction of duty of the head coach Murong Yanzhao, which has nothing to do with the ever correct and bright Privy Council of the imperial court.
Thinking of this, Li Chugeng couldn't help but sneer and whispered to several leading generals: "Send orders to everyone, start making preparations before the war, wear armor to prepare for war. Half an hour later, we will launch another attack. Pan Mei, you will lead a thousand men and sneak south immediately. After our army launches an attack, immediately attack Lizhou City and cut off the enemy's retreat!"
Everyone nodded and went to their own troops to prepare. Pan Mei is the prototype of Pan Renmei in the Romance. However, unlike the treacherous image fabricated in the Romance, this guy is a rare military genius. Therefore, after joining the army, he was soon valued by Dong Zunhui. This time he was a high-ranking vocational and low-ranking vocational team. He led the elite troops to assist in the war at the order of Dong Zunhui.
Pan Mei agreed readily and immediately led the troops to prepare. In fact, the scouts had already discovered that Lizhou City had become an empty city, and there were no soldiers in the city except the yamen runners. It was really useless to ask Pan Mei to lead nearly a thousand elite soldiers to attack. But Pan Mei also knew that Li Chugeng finally got a chance to make great contributions, so she naturally wanted to obtain all the military achievements and did not want outsiders to intervene. Since that is the case, then I, Pan Mei, will become a beauty. Anyway, in the future, my place of use will be indispensable in the future.
Seeing Pan Mei leaving tactfully, Li Chugeng also whispered to his confidants: "Brothers, we finally got this opportunity to make great contributions, and we must not let it go! After launching an attack, we must be fast, accurate and ruthless! We must defeat the Wuping Army along the river defenders in one fell swoop! If anyone delays the speed of the march, don't blame me for being ruthless! After defeating the enemy, we will immediately pursue it decisively and meet at the city of Langzhou! I want to see, Zhou Baoquan has no elite troops and no good generals outside, so what should he rely on to defend his city of Langzhou?!"
Half an hour passed quickly, and the soldiers tied the tripping bars on their armor, stuffed the first aid kits issued to their waists, and hunched their bodies towards the ferry.
At this time, Murong Yanzhao also replaced his main force and replaced the Jiangling City defending commando, which had been killed and killed. These commandoes were all composed of low-level officers in the Jiangling City defending army, and were shot by the Wuping army. Almost no one survived. Several soldiers who were lucky enough to evacuate the battlefield were also executed because of "retreatment in the face of the battle". They were beheaded and displayed in public. Looking at the corpses in the hands of the supervising team, the soldiers of Murong Yanzhao all bravely moved forward. They grabbed a landing point from Luo Dachun! More and more Zhou soldiers rushed ashore from here and killed in depth!
Zhang Congfu did not blame Luo Dachun, who lost his position, because the unlucky Luo Dachun had just been hit directly by the Zhou army's crossbow. The spear-like crossbow arrow nailed him to the ground. The more Luo Dachun struggled, the faster the blood in the wound flowed, and his vitality continued to pass away in this struggle and bleeding! Even though Zhang Congfu couldn't bear it and ordered people to stab Luo Dachun who suffered alive to death, Luo Dachun's body was still twitching, and the wound slowly turned white, without any blood, and became more and more tragic!
Zhang Congfu roared angrily: "The guard camp stepped forward to supervise the battle, and those who retreated will be killed without mercy! Brothers, think about your family who stayed in Langzhou. Although you can save your life for a while, your whole family will be implicated by you! Brothers, are you implicated your family and die?!"
The soldiers of the personal guard camp were also repeating Zhang Congfu's words loudly. Many Wuping soldiers cursed, but pushed them helplessly. Zhang Congfu, who was sweating all over the head of cold sweat, took a breath.
However, at this moment, Li Chugeng stood up from the grass, raised his sword and pointed forward, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, come with me!"
While shouting, Li Chugeng rushed forward. At this time, there was no defense behind the ferry. Several simple antlers were quickly pushed aside. The soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty rushed behind Zhang Congfu's troops very smoothly and rushed towards Zhang Congfu's headquarters.
At this time, the Wuping Army soldiers completely lost their confidence and courage. Facing the attacks from both sides, they would not fight bravely like Zhou army soldiers, but instead threw down their weapons, ran away with their heads, or kowtowed repeatedly, begging for the Zhou army's forgiveness.
As a military general, Li Chugeng was reluctant to accept their begging for surrender, but when Dong Zunhui went south this time, he had already repeatedly ordered the soldiers to commit less murderous crimes and mainly to force surrender. In this regard, Li Chugeng could only order: "Those who kneel down and surrender are exempt from killing, and those who resist stubbornly are beheaded!"
After hearing the Zhou army's cry for surrender, more and more Wuping soldiers threw down their weapons and knelt down to surrender. Zhang Congfu pulled one up and knelt down another; he pulled this up and knelt down next to him! He hadn't thought of killing the surrendered soldiers to warn you, but there were too many soldiers kneeling around him. If he forced them against them, he would be unable to protect himself!
Seeing the Zhou army rushing closer and closer, Zhang Congfu also lost the courage to resist. He quickly pulled over the commander of the guard camp and roared in a low voice: "Escort me to break through!"
When the battalion commander heard the order, he wanted to organize soldiers to rush to the south. Zhang Congfu also grabbed him hard and whispered: "Don't go south, it has been cut off by the Zhou army! Protect me and rush down the river. There are many fishing boats that act as obstacles. Let's grab one and run down quickly!"
When the battalion commander heard this, he was even more impressed by Zhang Congfu and hurriedly directed the soldiers to protect Zhang Congfu and rushed north. The soldiers of the Nanping Army who didn't know the details thought that Zhang Congfu personally went to block the gap, so they all gave the guy a thumbs up. More than a hundred soldiers with strong sense of honor were even moved by Zhang Congfu's actions and followed him to the shore.
Not to mention the soldiers of the Wuping Army, even Li Chugeng felt a little admired and shouted to the left and right guards: "I didn't expect that there were such warriors in the Wuping Army. I hope General Murong will not shoot them. The credit for capturing them alive must be ours!"
Being encouraged by Li Chugeng, especially Li Chugeng was still taking the lead in fighting, which greatly boosted the soldiers of Hou Zhou. Everyone rushed harder and faster, and soon they completely tore the thin line of Wu Ping's army. Next, they carried their guns and let everyone galloped!
Murong Yanzhao also saw Zhang Congfu and others rushing over. However, he was in his fifties, but he had no intention of letting go and quickly ordered the archers to aim at the target and carry out a cover strike! It was also Zhang Congfu's bad luck, because he was trapped in a melee. The Zhou army's long-range attack troops were idle and had nothing to do. Zhang Congfu, who suddenly appeared, suddenly became the joint order of all the crossbow soldiers and archers. With the commander's order, dozens of freshly released human-shaped hedgehogs appeared in the distance!
Zhang Congfu, who was shot through his thigh, fell to the ground, and his helmet fell to the distance. With his hair disguised, he saw that the Zhou army had already gained an absolute advantage, so he quickly threw down his weapon and shouted: "I am willing to surrender! I am willing to surrender!"
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Zhou army won an absolute victory and began to clean the battlefield. The Zhou army soldiers who were responsible for cleaning the battlefield glanced at the wound on Zhang Congfu's leg and stabbed Zhang Congfu's throat with a random shot. Seeing that his companion next to him was very confused, the soldier whispered: "The general has an order to capture only those who are not injured or those who are slightly injured. The seriously injured are wasting our medicine and food, and they will not be sheltered! You have just joined the army, and you will get used to it in the future!"
The companion nodded and stabbed Zhang Congfu's personal guard commander to death. The two continued to walk away...
It was not until a quarter of an hour later that Li Chugeng saw Zhang Congfu's body and learned about his subordinates' own actions. He wanted to use Zhang Congfu to pretend to be a cheerful city gate in Langzhou, but now it seems that it can only be his own wishful thinking. However, Li Chugeng had another way, that is, eat people! Or, eat two-legged sheep! As long as he shocked the defenders of Langzhou, he could force them to surrender, so as not to be tortured and killed due to the failure after the war!
Soon, all the newly captured Wuping soldiers were gathered. Everyone squatted on the ground weakly, watching Li Chugeng tremblely, and ordered people to select more than a hundred fat soldiers to escort them to the distance. Less than a quarter of an hour later, soldiers came over with steaming pork rib soup.
Li Chugeng smiled grimly, took a piece of rib from the soup bowl, and started gnawing. After taking two bites, he was a little stunned, and then continued to gnaw.
Many Wuping soldiers were frightened by his actions, and many of them were even more scared to pee their pants! Yang Shifan ate human flesh but killed Zhang Wenbiao and ordered people to carry out deep processing; but Li Chugeng had just ordered no less than a hundred people to drag them down, and stew soup for a while after washing. This is really a great devil in the world!
Li Chugeng smiled slightly, and a thin piece of pork shredded meat was stuffed between his front teeth. He Mans sortily picked out the shredded meat with his fingernails, and then threw it into his mouth! At this time, Li Chugeng sneered and said, "The two-legged sheep tastes pretty good, everyone can try it!"
Wuping's army vomited so much that it was so scared that many timid soldiers were unconscious!
Li Chugeng looked at them disdainfully, but he couldn't help but ask in his heart: Who was so sensible just now? He quietly replaced me with horse meat?! He was so considerate. I will definitely reward him after returning to the camp! To be continued...
