Later, many peasant army soldiers couldn't stand it anymore. Yue Wu was an ordinary farmer. He came from the Bashu Mountains, and his family had been hunters for generations. A few months ago, he listened to Zhang Xianzhong's call and wanted to fight with the soldiers.
Yue Wu is still very confident in establishing a career. He has been hunting in the forest with his father since he was a child. Now he can make perfect arrows. Coupled with his natural power, he has a good body and is very popular around him.
No one in several tribes could defeat him. When he was left in Shanyang County, Yue Wu was still very angry. He stayed at the rear and couldn't fight, so there was no talk of military merit.
I was eating today when I heard the commotion outside. Soon someone said that officers and soldiers were coming in. Others were scared to death. Only Yue Wu looked excited. He thought this was a good opportunity to make contributions. Ben thought
After killing the enemy and making a meritorious service, he ran out happily and saw that the street was a mess, with headless flies scurrying around. No officers or soldiers were seen, but they were lost in the chaotic flow of people.
Yue Wu was so angry. These idiots were running around in the street. He couldn't stand being squeezed. He raised his steel knife and roared, "Stop crowding. If you keep crowding, don't blame me for being rude."
Yue Wu was full of energy and his voice was as loud as a bell, but he was soon drowned in the crowd. Now everyone's survival is important, who cares about anything else. The two men pushed Yue Wu aside with force, "What's wrong with you?
, you are so stupid, the officers and soldiers are coming to kill you, they are very powerful, if you don’t want to live, don’t stop us from escaping."
Woo hoo, Yue Wu's face turned red with anger. What's the matter? These bastards are not rebels anymore. When the officers and soldiers came, they just thought about escaping. It was so embarrassing. Along with Yue Wu, there were others who were pushed aside.
There were more than a dozen people in a team, and even the team leader Hu Luo was knocked to the ground. Hu Luo was also very scared. He had participated in the Central Plains War. In several battles, he was beaten to a pulp by officers and soldiers. Look at the people fleeing for their lives.
, Hu Luo wanted to run away with him, but as soon as he got up from the ground, a voice next to him shocked him so much that he almost fell to the ground again.
"Boss, let's rush over. As long as we kill a few officers and soldiers, it will be a credit." A man's eyes were fiery, full of strong desire for military glory. In fact, Hu Luo's team, except for himself, everyone else is and
Recruits like Yue Wu. It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. These people all look arrogant. Hu Luona screams bitterly. These people who don’t know the heights of the sky really think that the officers and soldiers are soft mud. Especially this Yue Wu,
He had behaved very arrogantly since he arrived in the team, so Hu Luo pointed at Yue Wu and said angrily, "You are a new soldier, how do you know how powerful the officers and soldiers are? Do you know how powerful the cavalry under Li Zicheng are? You are not forced to do it by these frontier troops."
You are crippled. How many lives do you have that the officers and soldiers can kill? You all obey my order. Let's find a place to hide to avoid losing our lives in vain. Now that the officers and soldiers have entered the city, things are irreversible, but don't do that stupid and thankless thing.
"
As soon as Hu Luo said this, the soldiers headed by Yue Wu were a little unhappy. Yue Wu was the most angry. He finally seized the opportunity to make a contribution, but was allowed to hide. Isn't this chaos? Yue Wu cocked his neck and twisted his head.
He raised his head and glared, "Boss, what do you mean? How could you say such a thing? Are you worthy of Chief Zhang?"
When Yue Wu asked him this question, Hu Luo also widened his eyes, "You are too young, what do you know? If you lose your life, you are worthy of Chief Zhang. What will happen to your family? I have been in the army for many years and I can understand better than you.
Listen to my advice, and if the family can live well, it is better than anything else."
Hu Luo's words can be regarded as good advice, and he spoke out of emotion. When he was young, he followed Zhang Xianzhong and dreamed of a good life. He didn't think too much about it before, but in two years, he changed his mind
.When the great plague broke out, he went back to his hometown. More than a hundred people in a township voted for Zhang Xianzhong, but only a dozen returned home. In his hometown, he saw what kind of life those family members lived. Those men died,
Their wives and children lived the most humble life, without enough food and clothing, and where was the settlement allowance promised by Chief Zhang?
Hu Luo asked, but he got nothing from the beginning to the end. Leader Zhang did not compensate the deceased's family at all. At that moment, Hu Luo thought of himself. If he died too, what would happen to the family? At this moment,
I discovered that the so-called dreams are all bullshit and nothing is as important as my family.
During his time in his hometown, Hu Luo thought about a lot of things. He joined the army to rebel, wasn't it to give his family a better life? Let them have more food, thick quilts on the bed, and a few more winter items in the cupboard.
Clothes, and more acres of fertile land. However, when going out with the army cannot bring any benefits and cannot guarantee the livelihood of the family, then what is the point of rebellion? Of course, this cannot be told to others, and they may not understand it if told, without personal experience.
How can people under such circumstances know the true meaning of war?
The war is for the pursuit of a better life. However, under the rule of the Northern Shanxi Railway Superintendent, the people's lives are better than usual. It turns out that living under the rule of officers and soldiers is not necessarily a bad thing. If it were not for the long distance, Hu
Luo had already taken his family to northern Shanxi. As long as his family had a better life, he would rather give up weapons.
"You...boss, you'd better not stop us. If you don't go, we will go by ourselves." Yue Wu couldn't understand Hu Luo's thoughts at all. In his opinion, Hu Luo was simply a coward.
Soldiers are a disgrace. Most of the team are young and energetic people. After hearing what Yue Wu said, everyone looked at Hu Luo with disdain. With a sigh, Hu Luo could only wave his hands helplessly. He did not dare to stop him.
, continue to block, I am afraid that Hu Luo will be the first person killed by Yue Wu and others. These young people have long been blinded by military achievements. Cowards? When Hu Luo fought bravely to kill the enemy, these people did not know about the Yellow River.
How wide it is. Hu Luo consciously moved out of the way. Yue Wu glanced at it with disdain, thinking that Hu Luo was still wise, otherwise he would be the first to kill him.
However, the chaos in the city has not subsided. Yue Wu led the people forward. After a long time, he became a little anxious. He grabbed a guy who was blocking the road and stabbed him directly with the steel knife. The man had no reaction and was bleeding directly.
The warm blood sprayed on the spot and everyone around was stunned. No one expected that Yue Wu would kill one of his own people so cruelly. There was no guilt on Yue Wu's face. He took advantage of the crowd to calm down,
He shouted loudly, "Get out of the way quickly, otherwise I will kill anyone who blocks the way."
Yue Wu's ruthless tactics were so effective that even a dozen team members behind him were shocked. The chaotic crowd finally became much calmer. Wherever Yue Wu and others went, the crowd automatically gave way. In this way, finally
He rushed out smoothly, and not long after running, Yue Wu ran into several cavalrymen who were chasing him. Facing these cavalrymen, Yue Wu showed no weakness, raised his steel sword and rushed towards them. The few cavalrymen did not expect that.
Yue Wuhui rushed over directly and waved his sword to meet him. Yue Wu was really powerful. He jumped up and knocked down a cavalryman with his steel sword. Yue Wu succeeded in the attack and was very proud. The people behind him were encouraged.
, they also followed the same example, but these people were not so lucky. The cavalry swords rustled across, and a few unlucky guys lay on the ground and howled.
The cavalry soldiers also saw that Yue Wu was difficult to deal with, so they did not take the initiative to rescue their companions and retreated back. Now Yue Wu became even more arrogant. These cavalrymen were not very good either.
Luo was actually afraid of being like that. There was a clear whistle, and in a blink of an eye there was the sound of horse hooves from the other end of the long street. A large number of cavalry rushed towards them. These cavalry were arranged neatly. This was the first time Yue Wu saw such cavalry.
Teams of cavalry crushed them mercilessly, and the sharp steel knives opened several wounds on Yue Wu's chest. In pain, one fell to the ground, and as soon as he raised his head, Yue Wu felt a chill on his neck.
A sharp pain spread throughout his body, and he could no longer make a sound. At this moment, Yue Wu deeply regretted it. He finally understood why Hu Luo warned everyone not to come. It turned out that the frontier cavalry was really powerful.
It was too late to regret, Yue Wu and a dozen of his young thieves fell on the street. The same scene was played out everywhere. Cao Wenzhao's cavalry brought a devastating blow to the peasant army in Shanyang County.
After half a day of strangulation, Shanyang County finally returned to calm in the evening, but cleaning the battlefield also became a big problem.
With Shanyang County in his hands, Cao Bianjiao did not sit idle, but asked people to spread the information and notify the people in Yezhuping as quickly as possible.
On the fifth day of March in the fifth year of Chongzhen, the day after the fall of Shanyang County, the news reached Yezhuping. Liu Yingyu looked at the military report coming from the direction of Shanyang County. The sadness he had felt for many days finally dissipated, and his cold image changed.
, laughed happily, "Haha, this Cao Bianjiao is really powerful. Shanyang County actually allowed him to defeat him in one battle without any delay. Anyone, hurry to the west and inform General Geng and General Qin."
Qin Liangyu and Geng Zhongming soon arrived at Liu Yingyu's military camp. When they heard that Shanyang County had been taken, they were equally happy. Shanyang County had fallen into their hands, and the Yezhuping soldiers were within their grasp.
Geng Zhongming put down the military report and said with a contented smile, "We don't have to do anything now. We just have to wait patiently. When the traitors collapse on their own, we will take action again."
Qin Liangyu felt that Geng Zhongming was really insidious at times. In doing so, he simply did not leave any advantage to the peasant army. On the seventh day of March, what happened in Shanyang County finally reached the ears of the peasant army soldiers in Yezhuping. At first, the peasant army still
The generals were doubtful, but the officers and soldiers stood still, so they had no choice but to believe it.
Ai Keqi was completely confused. Even if he had great abilities at this time, he didn't know what to do. Break out? Are you kidding me? Not to mention that Shanyang County was occupied and the way back was cut off. As long as the wild boars came out,
Aren't the hilly areas for officers and soldiers to be killed?
I never thought that I would encounter this kind of situation. The officers and soldiers are really powerful. They cut off Shanyang County and swallowed up all the rebel brothers in the Yezhuping area.
With the fall of Shanyang County, and the strict defense of Geng Zhongming and Qin Liangyu in the south, the hope of the peasant army to go south was cut off. The fact was so cruel, Ai Keqi never dreamed that Yezhuping would be facing a desperate situation so soon.
.There are not many options left for Aikeqi now. There are only two ways to go, either to fight or to surrender. It is absolutely impossible to retreat. If you leave Yezhuping, you will have no good location.
No match for officers and soldiers.
Surrender? Ai Keqi cannot make such a decision after all. As Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, how can he surrender?
Overnight, Aikeqi seemed to have aged twenty years. The white hair on his temples became more and more obvious, and his black eyes showed his fatigue. He stayed up all night just to make a decision. In the end, he chose to continue fighting.
Go on, maybe this is cruel and ruthless, but so what? Since you want to fight, you must be merciless. Even if you die, you have to drag a few officers and soldiers to support you. Despair sometimes makes people collapse, but the same
, sometimes the most powerful force will burst out in desperate situations.
Several leaders gathered around Aikeqi, and each piece of bad news came, which had long ago tortured these leaders to the point of weakness. Aikeqi's eyes were cold and he held the saber in his hand tightly, "I don't need to tell you the specific situation, so
, let’s stop thinking about retreating. Now, there is only one way before us, and that is to fight on. We now have tens of thousands of combat forces in our hands. Even if the officers and soldiers want to swallow us up, they have to pay a certain price."
The reaction of several leaders was a little indifferent. At this point, everyone's mentality has also undergone a huge change. Not everyone is brave and fearless and not afraid of death. There are many slick people among them, who naturally do not want to die in Yezhuping. Ai Ke
Of course Qi knew what his subordinates were thinking. He stared at everyone and raised the corners of his mouth, "Of course, I will not force everyone. If anyone wants to surrender, please bring it up as soon as possible. Otherwise, after today, he will dare to disturb the morale of the army.
Then don't blame me for being rude. Well, I'll give you the opportunity."
At this time, the people around him hesitated, and everyone whispered to each other. Finally, three people stood up and said, "Leader Ai, the war situation is hopeless now. We don't want our brothers to die innocently. Please allow us to take people away."
"Okay, you can go." Aikeqi waved his hand in a very cheerful tone. The three people were very happy and turned around to leave. However, as soon as they walked a few feet away, a dozen guards in black rushed up and without saying a word, they
Three people were stabbed to death. From the beginning to the end, Ai Keqi's expression remained unchanged and he maintained a weird smile. Seeing the death of the three leaders, the others were all secretly lucky. Fortunately, they did not leave in a hurry, otherwise they would have accompanied the three guys to see the King of Hell.
Went.
Ai Keqi put away his smile, thrust his saber into the ground, and hummed in a somewhat sinister tone, "Is there anyone else who wants to surrender? This is the fate of these three people. I tell you, no one can leave Yezhuping alive, and neither can you."
What a sweet dream, considering what we have done, do you think the officers and soldiers can let us go?"
