When Pei Yuanshao pointed his finger at the leaders of the bandit soldiers on the wall, they all recognized Liu Xiang. They were very panicked, feeling weak, and breaking out in cold sweats.
This person's name is not false, he stepped on the bones of the enemy.
Yellow turbans, bandits, and state soldiers were all killed by him one after another. He repulsed the imperial court's counter-rebellion army, and wiped out all the elite Northern Army. He beat the Wuhuan people like Sun Tzu, and the Xianbei Chanyu was also defeated.
He killed and captured the royal court and massacred all the men in the Xianbei royal court, even the young children.
Do you think you have a long life with this enemy? He is a murderous evil star.
Didn't he say he was about to die?
Wang Fen, this damn liar, has had a hard time deceiving the princes. This time he was destined to accept the imperial edict, but not to enjoy the blessings.
The Montenegrin soldiers guarding the wall also saw Liu Xiang.
They were confused. Didn't they say that the soldiers in the north had rebelled and were coming to attack them? For this reason, they also found several other allies. But why did the general lead the troops? Who the hell is rebelling?
ah?
We never thought of rebellion!
Liu Xiang didn't know what everyone on the wall was thinking. He just carefully looked at the defense of the camp. The soldiers of the Montenegrin Army were stationed in sections with other bandit soldiers, and they could be distinguished at a glance.
The Montenegrin Army has uniform military uniforms and standard weapons, including spears, swords, and shuttles. They don't dress in a mess, and they don't use wooden guns and pitchforks as weapons.
Looking at the proportion of their defense area, there should be more of these traitors than the Montenegrin Army.
Let's try to persuade him to surrender first.
Liu Xiang ordered: "Send the flag and order the people behind to come over."
There are too few troops around. After he gets close, what should I do if the other side rushes out and hacks him to death? It is better to wait until the army arrives before it is safe. Be cautious and take as few unnecessary risks as possible.
The army resting in the shade of the mountain gradually approached, and spread out into formation as they marched. A crowd of 40,000 people poured over the mountains and plains.
Several military leaders on the wall were a little surprised. Didn't this guy want to persuade them to surrender? He wanted to kill them as soon as they came up? They were going to attack at noon. As expected, he was tough and easy to kill, just like the legend said.
Then should we surrender voluntarily?
Pei Yuanshao was also considering whether to surrender. He quietly glanced at the people next to him. If he killed them, could he ask for the general's forgiveness and a way out? He clearly knew the combat power of the Anping Army.
, even if the 40,000 Montenegrin troops in front of them were repelled, they would not be able to stop the Anping Army when they arrived later.
He saw with his own eyes the crossbow arrows falling like raindrops, the stone bullets falling one after another, and the groups of soldiers.
Can't keep it.
Pei Yuanshao was hesitating, and the military leaders and Commander Qu were also hesitating, but the Heishan soldiers guarding the stronghold did not hesitate at all. The attacking troops had already come over. If he hesitated any longer, he would really be considered a traitor.
The old foundation of the Black Mountain Army is the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans who Liu Xiang rescued in the Battle of Xiaquyang. I have followed him for almost three years and have been treated well. I am very grateful for the kindness. Most of the officers of the Black Mountain Army are old people from the Anping Army.
, the whole family of this group of people benefited from him.
Leading such a group of people to oppose Liu Xiang?
I'm thinking too much.
"The general is here, we have been deceived!" A military commander in charge drew his sword and shouted: "Kill them and put down the rebellion for the general."
Whether it is the Anping Army or the Heishan Army, as long as the word "general" is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind in the soldiers' minds is Liu Xiang, without any embellishment. Whether it is General Anping, general Ping An Zhonglang, or General Zhenbei, Liu Xiang
Xiang's title is changing, but in their hearts, a general is a general. They treat them as human beings and care about whether they have enough food and clothing. They are generals who they follow sincerely.
The sound of "The general is coming" spread throughout the entire army, and 20,000 Montenegrin soldiers stood up with their swords drawn, slashing at other thieves when they saw them. Up and down the wall of the village, the soldiers of the Montenegro army chased the former friendly troops and hacked and killed them indiscriminately.
The turmoil was so sudden that the other military leaders had no time to organize resistance. Li Damu angrily yelled: "Pei Yuanshao, what do you mean?"
Pei Yuanshao was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that since the soldiers had made their choice, he could no longer hesitate. He slashed Li Damu who questioned him to death with one knife, and then killed him with a horizontal slash.
Zhang Leigong, who did not react, caught up and chopped up Wang Baique. His bodyguards swarmed up and stabbed Liu Dashi to death with spears. These people's personal followers were also killed.
After killing four allies, he raised his sword and shouted loudly: "We have been deceived by traitors, and we must perform meritorious service and kill those bandits to quell the rebellion for the general."
He felt that shouting was not enough, and he was afraid that some officers would not believe him, so he immediately ordered: "Open the gate of the camp and welcome the general into the camp."
The gate of the village was quickly opened, and Pei Yuanshao was quickly pushed to the ground, but Liu Xiang did not go in.
He watched the fighting on the wall and listened to the fighting in the camp. Whether it was real or fake, I would not get close until the army arrived. These people were not worth the risk for him.
"Order the Montenegrin Army to speed up the advance and seize the camp while taking advantage of the chaos."
The Black Mountain Army, which was approaching outside the camp, received the order to seize the camp. They also saw the chaos on the wall and the open gate. They spread their legs and ran towards it. They rushed into the gate in a swarm. Sixty thousand Black Mountain troops
The troops gathered together and fought around the thieves who came to support them.
Four thousand Anping troops rushed to guard Liu Xiang. The situation was settled and there was no need for them to participate in the attack.
Both sides of the battle were soldiers belonging to the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Alliance. The Black Mountain bandits that the court talked about were fighting for their lives in this small basin in the Taihang Mountains.
Interests will inevitably lead to disputes, and even the interests of a few people will instigate a group of people to fight.
The other thieves are very aggrieved. They are here to support their allies. Why are people inside and outside beating themselves up? It’s unfair and unreasonable. Do you still have a conscience? What kind of world is this!
The camp was overcrowded, but Liu Xiang never entered, and the fighting inside ended quickly. The 20,000 people guarding the camp alone were unable to defeat the bandit soldiers who came for reinforcements. Once the subsequent 40,000 people rushed in, a large area was
Massacre and surrender occurred.
The hero of the army made a rough calculation and found that more than 5,000 people were killed and more than 20,000 were captured. The leaders of the four bandits were all dead.
Liu Xiang took Su Wei and four thousand infantrymen from the Anping Army to find a place in the shade to enjoy the shade, and ordered someone to pass on the order: "The Black Mountain Army will leave 10,000 people to guard the prisoners and clean the battlefield, and the rest will withdraw from the camp. The original defenders will form a separate line."
Formation, our officers above the rank of Marquis are here to see me."
More than half an hour later, when the sun was in the west and the hour was about to pass, more than 20 officers escorted Pei Yuanshao to Liu Xiang.
"General Qi, we have been deceived by Pei Yuanshao. Please punish us."
Liu Xiang looked at the more than 20 people who were kneeling on the ground. They were a bunch of idiots, but they had really offended their merits and could not be punished too much.
"Get up, in my place, merit is merit and fault is fault. Because you have been deceived, each of you will receive ten lashes, a military title, a position, and be demoted one level to be retained. The credit for participating in the counter-insurgency will be credited to your family members.
, give money to those who deserve it, and land to those who deserve it. Are you convinced?"
"I'm convinced, thank you so much, General."
Asking these officers to stand aside, Liu Xiang squinted his eyes and stared coldly at Pei Yuanshao, who was lying on the ground. He had a bruised nose and swollen face, blood coming from his forehead, and had been beaten frequently.
"Is Zhou Yuanfu dead?"
Liu Xiang originally thought he would be curious about the reasons for these people's rebellion and the mastermind behind it, but after the battle, he actually wanted to know Zhou Cang's life and death.
