ps: Thank you Eagle Zhou for the reward! Brothers of the monthly ticket, I will not list them one by one, thank you. Is the last chapter a bit abrupt? I am trying a new way of writing, similar to the synchronization in the movie script. So what,
If you still have a cold, have a splitting headache, feel dizzy, and the seasons are changing, please be careful!
On the afternoon of the 25th of the first lunar month of the second year of Tianfu, the gloomy sky began to rain snowflakes on Shicheng. Heavy snowflakes fell one after another, shrouding the whole world in white, and in the blink of an eye, the earth was covered with a layer of crystal white snow.
blanket.
Under the vast white sky, there are messy and broken war weapons. The volunteer army has already lost its arms and is still in danger. Countless soldiers have thrown down their swords and armors and run wildly in all directions without distinguishing between east, west, north and south?br />
Groups of defeated soldiers rolled towards the center of the Yier Army, shouting "defeated! defeated!" and scattered the central army. Then they rolled up more defeated soldiers, passed through the generals' flags, and continued.
Fleeing in confusion.
Liu Shouguang drew his sword and chopped down several defeated soldiers who ran past him to the ground, shouting wildly: "Don't run away! Don't run away! Kill them all back for me!" But his hoarse voice had no effect at all, and his brain suddenly changed.
direction, bypassing Liu Shouguang and continuing to run away. Those who did not open their eyes passed by him, looking at the sword in Liu Shouguang's hand as if it was nothing.
The guards of the surrounding squadrons who were guarding the Chinese army all looked miserable and looked at Liu Shouguang anxiously, hoping that the commander would issue a retreat order so as to escape the disaster. Liu Shouguang had no intention of giving an order at all, and still raised his sword.
Chase the defeated soldiers passing by.
Liu Zhiwen was panic-stricken. He stepped forward and grabbed Liu Shouguang and shouted: "Commander, retreat! The situation is irreversible. Let's go back to Youzhou. When we get to Youzhou, there are thousands of sergeants and people in the city. We can still try our best."
Cheer up! Don't stay here any longer. The Yingzhou Army is about to arrive!"
Liu Shouguang struggled to break away from Liu Zhiwen's pull, stared at Liu Zhiwen with blood-red eyes and yelled: "Don't run, I will kill anyone who dares to retreat before the battle!"
Liu Zhiwen was furious, turned his face and strode towards the war horse on the side. As he walked, he said to Hu Linggui, who was in charge of the Hengban personal guards: "General Hu, tie the commander to the horse, gather the Hengban sergeants, and follow a certain family..." He didn't say anything.
After saying that, his vest went cold and a sharp pain came from his chest. He stopped and looked down, only to see a sword blade piercing through his chest. The blood dripping from the blade fell to the ground in an instant, turning the snow
The ground turned into crimson blood and mud.
Liu Zhiwen wanted to turn around, but he was too weak to turn around. The world in front of him suddenly darkened, and his knees went limp. His body fell to the ground.
Liu Shouguang pulled out the sword from Liu Zhiwen's body, gritted his teeth and said to the corpse on the ground: "Zhao Jing betrayed me, Zhao Ba betrayed me, Zhang Jingshao betrayed me. Even you want to betray me, you all die, all of you die
!”
Seeing this scene, the surrounding guards were frightened. They involuntarily stepped back, thinking: The commander is crazy! The commander is crazy!
After howling wildly for a moment, Liu Shouguang turned his head and glared at Hu Linggui, who was standing dumbly aside. He said fiercely: "Hu Linggui, do you also want to run away?"
Hu Linggui's scalp exploded. Looking at the fierce Liu Shouguang, he couldn't help but take two steps back and waved his hands repeatedly: "Commander, don't doubt it, the generals don't dare! The generals don't dare!"
Liu Shouguang shouted: "Hurry up and gather all the troops in the squad and follow me into the battle!" He turned around and pointed his sword diagonally at the chaotic battlefield in the northwest: "The man named Zhou is over there. Just rush over with me and take down the battle."
Zhou Zhiyu can turn defeat into victory! Hu Linggui..."
The next few words did not come out of his mouth, and the messy exhalation sound rushed down his throat and rushed out of his body. Liu Shouguang's head flew up, spun in the air several times, and then hit the snow hard, causing a cloud of snowflakes to splash.
Hu Linggui raised his sword and shouted: "The culprit has been crowned, and the soldiers of Hengban will surrender to the governor of Yingzhou!" As Hu Linggui shouted, the flags of the Yier Army were cut off directly, and hundreds of soldiers of Hengban threw them
He lowered his sword and knelt down facing the direction from which the Yingzhou army was attacking.
Not long after, groups of soldiers from the Yingzhou Army finally entered the main formation of the disintegrated Yier Army. Without stopping, they passed by the Yier Army soldiers who were kneeling to ask for surrender, and continued to pursue the defeated soldiers who were still fleeing.
More than a dozen officers from the Education Department stayed behind. After they organized the troops into a rough group, they took them to the camp outside the stone city to wait for orders. The flags, weapons and armors all over the ground were collected by the civilians who left the city one after another.
Put it on a big truck for recycling.
To put it bluntly, this is an internal fight within the Lulong system. The Yingzhou army emerged from the Yuanpingzhou system. It originated from the 24 people who retreated north from Yingyoudu, where 18 of them followed Li Chengzhong.
When they arrived at Yuguan to garrison the border, these people are now high-level personnel of the Yingzhou Army, such as Zhang Xingzhong, Jiang Miao, Zhou Xiaolang, Meng Xuxing, Jiao Chengqiao, Wang Yibo, etc., all from Lulong Prefecture; besides, although there are a large number of lower-level officers and soldiers
Soldiers were recruited from Yingzhou outside the Pass, but there were still many young men and knights within the Pass. They came out of the Pass to serve in Yingzhou and became an important part of the Yingzhou army.
Therefore, many of the two sides fighting in Shicheng now have relatives and friends, and the hometown party is on the opposite side. Although each has a coach and competes for power, when it comes to fighting face to face, neither of them will really be ruthless.
This kind of mentality is also a common mentality within the feudal town. When there is a mutiny and internal fighting, the only ones who can really fight freely are the personal guards raised by the commander. Most ordinary soldiers follow the trend and watch the wind, because no matter whether they win or lose, it has nothing to do with them.
It’s not big. No matter who wins in the end, the soldiers will have the same food and needs, and they don’t even need to change the military flag. No matter how they fight, in the end they will have to use the Lulong Army’s flag, right?
Therefore, in the internal fighting in the vassal town, the casualties are often not serious, including the previous Da'an Mountain Incident, where Liu Rengong's side failed, whether it was the Yameni Army, the rear army, or the disciples of the rear of the mountain, Yinhuludu, Yanchi
Soldiers, etc., most of them dropped their weapons and surrendered when the situation was not good. The only ones who really fought to the death were the generals and their personal guards.
At this moment, Liu Shouguang's crazy killing spree on the battlefield finally caused the last loyal bodyguard around him to switch sides.
There were ten thousand soldiers in the Volunteer Army, but only a few hundred actually died in the battle formation. Thousands of soldiers asked to surrender on the spot. Most of the Volunteer Army ran far away to the outside of the battlefield, and then circled back after the battle was calmed down.
When they came back, they all asked for surrender from the victorious Yingzhou Army. After all, they still had to serve as soldiers to feed themselves. Since Liu Shouguang was defeated and died, where could they go if they didn't surrender to the Yingzhou Army?
Seeing that the battle situation was decided, Li Chengzhong personally went out of the city to greet Zhou Zhiyu.
"Zhou" is under the character, Zhou Zhiyu is even more vicissitudes of life.
"Commander, you old man... you have a lot of gray hair..." Li Chengzhong still called Zhou Zhiyu with his military position as the commander of the Jianzu Battalion to show that he had not forgotten his roots. However, Zhou Zhiyu suddenly had a large amount of white hair on his forehead and temples.
This makes Li Chengzhong's nose slightly sour.
"Well, I grew up in the Youzhou Prison. I was in a trance for nothing. Haha...Zi Cheng, after so many years, you are now...promising!" Zhou Zhiyu looked at the young governor he had trained with emotion. , I can’t help but have a sense of the eternity of time.
Li Chengzhong took the generals around him and introduced them one by one.
"Commander, this is Lao Zhang. He is currently serving as the governor of Yingzhou and is the captain of Zhaowu."
"Well, now I am also a sixth-grade official, that's good."
"Commander, this is Miao Zi. He was with a certain person back then. Now he is the military envoy of the capital. He is responsible for military law and education in the army. He is also the captain of Zhaowu."
"Well, Jiang Miao, I remember you. Military law is very important. You are in a key position, so you should help yourself." Zhou Zhiyu knew the differences in the military system of Yingzhou. In fact, he changed the military system without authorization. At that time, Zhou Zhiyu also tried his best to cover up Yingzhou.
"Commander, Lao Zhou is that bastard Zhou Maidao. He is currently in Pingzhou, guarding the place with Governor Zhang. There are two battles to be fought, and he can't get through now. Let him come after the war subsides. Meet the commander."
"It doesn't matter, the war is urgent, why do you want to meet me? Haha, I am no longer your general..."
"No matter what the commander says, everyone is supported by the commander. At any time, the Yingzhou Army is the commander's Yingzhou Army, and the brothers are still the brothers of the commander."
"Zi Cheng is not someone who is humble. After these years of continuous wars, someone has a clear understanding of his own foundation. Someone may be a qualified commander, and he may be competent in raising food and fodder for the army, but he is really not He is so talented. Since he led the troops in Beizhou, he has never led his troops to win a single battle. Beizhou, Weizhou, Cangzhou, Fanyang, etc. have been defeated. Hehe, I am ashamed to say it... All the victories of a certain person are attributed to Zicheng... In today's battle, Zicheng will definitely win the title of Youyan. If Zicheng thinks highly of a certain person, a certain person will do more for Zicheng and help him, and then I will retire to the garden and become a rich man."
"The commander is in his prime, why should he take a back seat? A certain person wants to support the commander to stay behind..."
"Zi Cheng, stay here! Don't say this again!" Zhou Zhiyu shouted suddenly: "So many brothers sacrificed their lives and blood for Zi Cheng, but on the day of success, someone stole their credit. How will Zicheng make many brothers deal with themselves? Where do you want to place your home?"
Li Chengzhong was stunned for a moment and muttered not knowing what to say. Supporting Zhou Zhiyu as his successor was a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't overcome. Zhou Zhiyu treated him extremely well, and Li Chengzhong always felt that he could not repay him. But in fact, he himself also understood that this The situation was different at that time, and his brothers were not happy with it. If he insisted on going his own way, serious consequences would probably occur. However, he felt sorry for surpassing Zhou Zhiyu and ascending to the throne.
Zhou Zhiyu sternly stopped Li Chengzhong's thoughts. Seeing that he was still hesitating, he said politely: "Zicheng, don't think so much. You are the lord of Youzhou. This is the general trend and no one can stop it. Lulong has been in decline for a long time, and only You can cheer him up, but if you really ask me to do this job, I will definitely not be able to do it. Just leave it like that, don’t talk anymore, otherwise I will leave Youzhou with my family!"
"command……"
"Zicheng, let's not talk about this anymore. I am tired. I want to go to a resting place with you. I want to have a good sleep. There are still a lot of military affairs to deal with, so I don't want to accompany you anymore." (To be completed.) Continued…)
