Sima Tu Moting was captured alive by Dou Xiong. The Liaodong infantry who were fighting to the death lost their morale when they heard Dou Xiong's shouts.
Although these Liaodong soldiers are brave, their general has been captured, and everyone can see the current situation. They have changed from an ambush to an ambush. The enemy has assembled a large number of troops and set up this trap. If they continue to fight, they can only lose all their strength.
The army was destroyed.
On the battlefield on Chen Zhitai's side, the Liaodong cavalry had completely collapsed.
Huangfu Yunzhao's troops, Song Shixin's 1,000 soldiers and horses, plus Chen Zhitai's more than 1,000 men, totaled 5,000 troops. These 5,000 men included cavalry, spearmen, shield soldiers, and sword soldiers.
, not only surrounded thousands of Liaodong cavalry, but also killed them with all their strength.
After the bloody battle, more than half of the Liaodong cavalrymen were killed or wounded. Although some cavalrymen fought bloody battles, more cavalrymen knew that the situation was over and began to break through with all their strength, and a few cavalrymen had already fought their way out.
The wilderness is full of running horses, and many of them even have no people on their backs, running around in the wilderness.
The Liaodong cavalry had collapsed. Hearing the sound of fighting on Dou Xiong's side, Song Shixin shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me!" Shaking his horse's reins, he led his troops and rushed north, intending to reinforce Dou Xiong.
There are not many cavalry left in Liaodong, and they are no longer a force.
Hundreds of infantry immediately followed Song Shixin and rushed north, making roars that shook the mountains.
The Liaodong infantry under Tu Moting's command had also been completely routed, and suffered heavy casualties under the attack of Dou Xiong's cavalry.
Dou Xiong's capture of Tu Moting had already caused the morale of the Liaodong Infantry Army to collapse. When they heard shouts of killing coming from the south, and vaguely saw countless people rushing towards this side, the last trace of persistence of the Liaodong Infantry Army finally disappeared, and countless infantrymen
Like a flock of sheep attacked by wolves, the soldiers began to flee across the wilderness.
But more people gave up resistance and gave up escaping.
No matter how fast two legs are, they cannot be faster than four horse hooves.
The fleeing infantry were soon overtaken by the cavalry, and the cavalry had no sympathy or mercy at all. They would kill the fleeing infantry when they caught up with them. Those Liaodong infantry who gave up resistance watched helplessly as many of their fleeing companions were overtaken by the cavalry.
If you chop and kill, you will lose the courage to escape.
The Liaodong infantry who put down their weapons were indeed no longer targets for enemy cavalry to kill. After Song Shixin led his troops to kill them, he also directly attacked the Liaodong soldiers who were still holding their weapons. As a result, more Liaodong soldiers dropped their weapons and gave up completely.
Resisted.
Huangfu Yunzhao's expression was always stern.
There were only a dozen riders around him, and they were always watching the fighting on the battlefield from a distance.
From the fierce fighting at the beginning, the sound gradually weakened, and until the sound of fighting finally disappeared, Huangfu Yunzhao then raised his head and looked up at the night sky, knowing that the overall situation was decided.
"Mighty, mighty, mighty!"
There were cheers in the distance, and the majestic shouts spread across the wilderness, flew in the air, and seemed to reach the sky, reaching the clouds in the night sky.
Huangfu Yunzhao naturally knew that this was the habit of the Liaodong Army.
After each victory in a fierce battle, the Liaodong Army would cheer "mighty".
But the soldiers cheering tonight no longer belong to the Liaodong Army. They now belong to the Long Rui Army. However, their habits after the victory have not changed. The "mighty" cheers that resounded through the sky finally made Huangfu Yunzhao's lips curl up.
smile.
When Tu Moting was brought to Huangfu Yunzhao, his broken elbow had already been bandaged.
Seeing Huangfu Yunzhao sitting on the horse looking down at him, Tu Moting's eyes showed resentment. "Huangfu Yunzhao, are you very proud?" Although Tu Moting's face was stained with blood, there was no blood on his face.
, turned pale, "I really didn't expect you to be such a villain?"
"A soldier never tires of deceit." Huangfu Yunzhao said calmly: "You and I can't judge what is a gentleman and what is a villain. There will always be someone who can make the final decision."
Tu Moting laughed loudly and said: "Yes, there will always be a conclusion. But I must be blind to trust you."
"I should thank you." Huangfu Yunzhao said calmly, seemingly without any emotion.
Murder and heart-wrenching!
These words pierced into Tu Moting's heart like a knife. He roared and tried to rush forward, but someone held his shoulders and was unable to move for a moment.
"I'm not mocking you." Huangfu Yunzhao said seriously: "If you hadn't gone to Shunjin, I really wouldn't have had such a good opportunity. When I saw you that day, I was almost confused and wanted to kill you with a knife.
The head was placed on top of the city. But I suddenly thought that although it would be pleasant, it would ruin a big thing."
"Do you know that the general will definitely send troops?"
Huangfu Yunzhao smiled lightly and said: "If it were just Wang Xingchao, I'm not sure whether he would really send troops, but with you here? He would be at least 80% likely to send troops. You are his confidant and the commander of the army. If others say that he will, he will send troops."
He has doubts again and again, but he can still listen to what you say. In the final analysis, he still wants to take a gamble. If he wins and Yingping County is back in his hands, the Liaodong Army may be able to hold on for a while, but he may not expect it.
Losing so miserably."
"Huangfu Yunzhao, you are indeed very bold." Tu Moting sighed: "You mobilized so many people to set up an ambush, are you not afraid of trouble in Shunjincheng?"
"Not afraid." Huangfu Yunzhao shook his head and said: "The reason is very simple. Compared with the Liaodong Army, the wealthy families in Yingping County are more willing to follow General Qin. You still don't understand why Long Ruijun can do so in just one year.
Pushed the Liaodong Army to this point?"
Tu Moting just sneered and said nothing.
Huangfu Yunzhao raised his head and looked at the night sky. After a moment, he said: "The benevolent are invincible!"
Tu Moting was startled and frowned.
"The Liaodong Army has long lost the support of the people, but General Qin is broad-minded, kind, and people-oriented. How can such a person not win the support of the people?" Huangfu Yunzhao said slowly: "With the support of the people, of course, if you have the support of the people, you will be invincible in every attack.
The Liaodong Army has lost the support of the people, and the gentry and people in the Northeast have already regarded General Qin and Long Ruijun as their saviors. In fact, without me being in charge, the noble families and people in Shunjin City will also defend the city for General Qin."
Tu Moting was a little stunned.
Of course he could hear Huangfu Yunzhao's respect for Qin Xiao from the tone of his voice.
Even Wang Xingchao seems to have never received such respect from Huangfu Yunzhao.
Although his broken arm was bandaged to stop the bleeding, the pain was still unbearable. He raised his neck and said, "Now that things have happened, there is no need to talk nonsense. Huangfu Yunzhao, just do it!"
"Do you think I want to kill you?" Huangfu Yunzhao shook his head and said, "I asked you to come here just because I wanted you to bring a message to Wang Xingchao."
Tu Moting was surprised and said, "What do you mean?"
"What you have brought is Wang Xingchao's direct soldiers and horses." Huangfu Yunzhao said: "This is the elite he has cultivated over the years, and it is also his greatest capital. There are many generals here who have been cultivated by him. If they are all lost in the first battle,
Here, what do you think he will think?"
Tu Moting didn't understand Huangfu Yunzhao's meaning for a moment, and frowned: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Go back and tell Wang Xingchao that I can make a deal with him." Huangfu Yunzhao said: "General Dou and many generals followed me to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. Their families are still in Liaodong. Although the disaster will not harm my family, I still hope that those family members can come over.
Reunion.”
Tu Moting was not stupid. He understood and said, "You want to exchange prisoners?"
"One life for one!" Huangfu Yunzhao said: "I can return as many people as Wang Xingchao sent."
Tu Moting sneered and said: "Dou Xiong and this group of traitors are seeking glory from their sellers. How can the general give them mercy? It is simply wishful thinking to want the general to let their families go."
"Then just tell him that if he dares to kill his family members, I will also dare to kill prisoners." Huangfu Yunzhao's face was stern, "Three thousand men and horses were lost here, how much direct power does he still have in his hands? He is also the leader of Anton after all.
General, indiscriminately killing the old and the weak will only make it even more difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Northeast."
The corners of Tu Moting's eyes twitched.
"Come here, give him a horse!" Huangfu Yunzhao ordered. Someone had already led a horse and put a package on the horse's back.
"There is dry food and wound medicine in the bag, which is enough to support your return to Liaodong." Huangfu Yunzhao said: "After you have sent the message, if Wang Xingchao has any ideas, feel free to send an envoy."
Tu Moting sneered: "I will die if I go back, why should I help you? Send a message?"
"You don't have to pass on the message." Huangfu Yunzhao said, "You can also escape halfway to other places. I don't care about that." He raised his hand and said, "Please help yourself!"
Tu Moting closed his eyes. After a long time, he sighed, walked to the horse, and was helped onto the horse. He glanced at Huangfu Yunzhao and said bitterly: "Huangfu Yunzhao, remember, even if I turn into
Even the fierce ghost will not spare you."
Huangfu Yunzhao smiled and said: "Kill ghosts when you meet them, kill demons when you meet them. If you really turn into a fierce ghost and come here, I will make your soul fly away!"
Tu Moting was furious, but he could only turn the horse's head in a circle, shake the reins, and urge the horse to move away.
Huangfu Yunzhao looked at Tu Moting's retreating back with deep eyes.
This battle is of course extremely important to him.
This battle not only caused the Liaodong Army to lose thousands of troops again, but these thousands of soldiers and horses were the direct capital of Wang Xingchao.
The most important thing is that after this battle, he knew that only Long Ruijun would truly trust and accept him and his soldiers.
Setting up an ambush and annihilating the main force of Wang Xingchao's direct lineage was tantamount to establishing a deadly feud with Wang Xingchao.
In this battle, Dou Xiong, Song Shixin and many other generals who originally belonged to the Liaodong Army participated in the battle, thus eliminating the possibility of any further involvement with the Liaodong Army.
This battle is actually a complete separation from Wang Xingchao.
It not only consumes the main elite of the Liaodong Army, but also gains the trust of the Long Rui Army, and can even use prisoners to exchange for the families of the generals. This is of course a multi-purpose thing.
However, Huangfu Yunzhao knew that this battle would make Chen Zhitai somewhat resentful towards him.
After all, in this plan, Chen Zhitai and more than a thousand troops under his command became bait, and the losses were considerable.
But this is also a helpless move.
Without Chen Zhitai's Long Rui Army as bait, Tu Moting would not be able to be trusted, and the entire plan would not be implemented smoothly. If he wanted to achieve such results, he would have to make some sacrifices.
He knew that Qin Xiao was broad-minded, so he could naturally understand why he would do this.
