Again, the morale of the soldiers born in the Yellow Turbans came and went quickly. They lost their fighting spirit and retreated steadily.
In less than a moment, the entire bandit camp suffered heavy losses. Rivers of blood flowed, and about a thousand people were killed or injured. The remaining people looked at the invincible cavalry like a god of death and no longer had the courage to resist. They dropped their weapons and turned around.
He ran away, spreading his legs and running towards the outside of the camp.
Zhu Kui was not in a hurry, said hello to Qin Jie, rode forward and found Wang Cheng and Guan Hai.
"My lord (third brother)!" the two of them saluted hurriedly.
"Don't be too polite, Guan Hai. You lead the cavalry to hunt down the fleeing ant thieves. Remember, those who kneel down and surrender will not be killed!"
"A Cheng, come with me to find Zhang Mancheng. Capture the thief first and capture the king first!"
"promise!"
Guan Hai trotted along with his cavalry, driving the troops to defeat like ducks and harvesting heads. After a while, those who were the first to escape from the camp were killed one after another. Seeing this, the latter two actually knelt down and begged for mercy. At this time, Zhu Kui was still on the field, and he did not dare
Acting recklessly is like a shepherd's flock that keeps growing in numbers.
Zhang Mancheng looked at the defeated soldiers everywhere in front of him, with a look of defeat on his face. He naturally knew Qin Jie, and the two of them had been facing each other for nearly twenty days under Anzhong City, but he never expected that he would come, and come like this.
In time, when did the officers and soldiers on both sides collude?
But he no longer had the intention to get to the bottom of it. He couldn't leave this place alive today. With a loud roar, he led his soldiers and horses and rushed towards Qin Jie, taking it as the source of the defeat.
Several people quickly fought their way through the officers and soldiers and rushed to Qin Jie.
"Stop him, stop him quickly, don't let him get close to the prefect." Qin Jie's soldiers shouted.
Qin Jie waved the sword in his hand and reprimanded: "What are you stopping? Come with me and kill this leader of the thieves." He was born as a military general, so why should he be afraid of Zhang Mancheng? He was worried that he could not be found!
Soon, generals and soldiers were fighting against each other.
Seeing the situation here, Zhu Kui felt happy and wished he hadn't escaped, "A Cheng, follow me quickly and surround Zhang Mancheng."
At this time, Qin Jie and Zhang Mancheng started fighting. The two had already fought before, and their martial arts were similar. The two swords came and went, slashing back and forth. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of breaking wind.
"Wow..." One of Qin Jie's soldiers had just killed his opponent. When he saw his lord in a stalemate, he made a sudden plan. In the chaos, he took advantage of Zhang Mancheng not paying attention to him and suddenly jumped up from his horse.
, pounced in the air, intending to risk being hit by the hind legs of Zhang Mancheng's horse, and strangled the ponytail as hard as he could.
As a result, the guard flew out and was seriously injured.
Then the tail of Zhang Mancheng's horse was plucked out due to the desperate poke from his own soldiers. It was so painful that it jumped back and forth. Zhang Mancheng suddenly became confused, became unstable and fell off the horse. Although Qin Jie
Some were angry at the behavior of the soldiers, but there was no morality in the battlefield. With a dragging sword gesture, the horse passed by like an earth dragon sweeping over. Zhang Mancheng left before he could react.
Zhu Kui just arrived and saw Zhang Mancheng dead. He was a little surprised. Qin Jie was good at martial arts. He quickly congratulated: "Congratulations to the prefect for killing the leader of the thief."
All this seems to be destined by heaven, and Qin Jie is destined to kill Zhang Mancheng.
"It's just a fluke!" Qin Jie said sadly. He understood that it was thanks to the soldier who fought for his life and frightened Zhang Mancheng's mount, otherwise the two of them would fight for a whole day without any results.
"Zhang Mancheng is dead, why don't you kneel down and accept surrender!"
Zhu Kui ordered his soldiers to lift Zhang Mancheng's body and shout loudly.
The general is the courage of the army. When the general dies, the courage of the army is gone. Surrender is even more common, not to mention the yellow turban thieves?
Zhu Kui and Qin Jie reunited the troops from both sides, leaving Wang Cheng and Guan Hai to clean the battlefield and gather the surrendering troops. However, the two of them returned to Wang Cheng Dazhai first, preparing to sleep for two consecutive nights.
On the way, I never slept a wink. Now that the victory has been decided, I can sleep peacefully...
In the first year of Zhongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, on August 8, 184 AD, Qin Jie's formation beheaded Zhang Mancheng, and the 30,000 elite soldiers of the God Army disappeared into thin air.
He didn't wake up until late at night and went to the Chinese army's stronghold to listen to the post-war report.
"Master Qin, you are the prefect, and you should be in charge."
The official position of the prefect was much higher than that of a general like him. Zhu Kui did not want to give people the impression of being arrogant and complacent. After two days, the two of them developed a good friendship.
"When soldiers are outside, they naturally respect the general and take the throne."
Unable to continue Qin Jie's modesty, Zhu Kui gave in. He moved another mat and said, "In that case, let's sit together."
Then Wang Cheng began to report the casualties during the day.
"Together with Master Qin's three thousand county soldiers, more than two thousand people were killed, more than three thousand were injured, more than twenty thousand people were beheaded, and three thousand people were surrendered."
"Sir, those three thousand people are old soldiers who have seen blood, so I will give them to you, Your Majesty. Even if Mancheng is destroyed, even if Wancheng is pacified, it will be difficult to win over the people with more than five thousand county soldiers. It is considered as a return gift to Your Excellency for sending troops."
Zhu Kui smiled.
"Thank you very much, General Zhu. It seems that the general is determined to win Wancheng and is sure that it will be defeated?"
Qin Jie is not hypocritical. He is the new governor of Nanyang and has just experienced war. If he does not have enough strength in his hands, it will be difficult to govern Nanyang. He is afraid that once the decree leaves Nawan City, the gentry families from all over the country will simply ignore it.
"Haha, Master Qin doesn't know. There are only 40,000 soldiers and horses in Wancheng, but among them, Zhou Cang, the commander of the canal, has long been the captain of my account. My sworn brother also led people to sneak into it. We made an appointment.
When the attack on the city was in full swing, they opened the city gate and let us in. With the manpower of Colonel Zhou Cang, no one could stop them."
With these back-up arrangements, Zhu Kuijue had nothing to hide from Qin Jie.
Two days later, Zhu Kui led his troops back to Wancheng and met Gan Ning. Everyone was overjoyed to see him return safely, Shu Shu'er was the most popular among them, but she was banned by Zhu Kui in the tent when she was young. Qin Jie was present.
He was afraid that if time went by, Ni Duan would be exposed, and there was a woman hidden in the army, and she would be slandered by others. His brother was fine, and outsiders would know about it, which would seriously affect his reputation.
Zhu Kui and Qin Jie took a look around Wancheng, and then decided to rest for one night and formally attack the city tomorrow. They contacted Zhou Cang and Zhou Tai in the city overnight to take action.
When I returned to my tent, I saw Shu Shu'er walking around non-stop, obviously waiting impatiently.
"Why did you come back so late?" Shu Shuer stepped forward and complained.
"I inspected the city with the prefect earlier and decided to take action tomorrow. I just discussed with a group of people about dividing up the troops and contacting the second brother, so it was late." Zhu Kui took her hand and came to the bedside and sat down.
"Brother Zhu, I won't leave you even half a step next time. This time I'm really afraid that you will be killed by that Zhang Mancheng." Shu Shu'er fell into his arms and said with lingering fear.
"Okay, don't worry, I'm not back. I won't die before I finish what I promised you."
"I don't want to be the most noble woman in the world, I just want you to be good."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is fine, go to bed early!"
Zhu Kui thought of the night camp failed, and he really thought he was dead. For a moment, the two women's figures surrounded his mind, and it seemed that he would never forget it in this life. He lowered his head and kissed each other's forehead, looking at her reddish smile.
Cheeks, a warm feeling, any pressure is relieved.
However, after the two were cozy for a while, Zhu Kui was about to leave again.
"Where are you going? You have been busy all day. At this moment, I want you to stay with me until I fall asleep, okay?" Shu Shu'er grabbed his sleeve and said, she was worried day and night.
I have been staring at myself for several days, my eyes are red and red, and I am suffering from severe insomnia. Now that I relax, I start to feel very sleepy.
"Okay, I won't leave and I will sleep with you in my arms. Is that okay?"
Shu Shu'er closed her eyes again, nodded contentedly, and slowly, I don't know how long, fell asleep soon. Zhu Kui, whom she had been worried about these past few days, was very tired. This time, her fiancé was by her side.
Now I feel at ease and go to sleep peacefully.
Soon, seeing that she was really asleep, Zhu Kui gently put her down, covered her with a thin coat, smiled at the sleeping beauty, and walked out of the tent.
"My lord," the two brothers of the Qin family quickly saluted.
"Dahu, Erhu, you have worked hard these days to help me take care of her."
"My lord, there is no need to say thank you. This is the responsibility of my subordinates."
"Shu Shu'er has gone to sleep. If anyone comes looking for me, please go to Mr. Xi's tent and don't disturb her," Zhu Kui ordered.
"promise."
Xi Zhicai's tent was not far away from him. After walking a few steps, he arrived. When he came to the entrance of the tent, Zhu Kui asked politely: "Sir, are you asleep? Zhu Kui wants to see you!"
Inside the tent, the dramatist was holding a bamboo slip and reading at night. When he heard Zhu Kui's voice, he quickly got up and came out of the tent.
"General, why do you need so many gifts? Hurry up and pay them."
