This news spread rapidly among Zhang Xianzhong's army. It would be strange if he didn't die. This time no one believed that Zhang Xianzhong, the Eighth King who had miraculously escaped several times, would still escape. The east gate gate building no longer exists, and only the collapsed city gate remains. It would be nice if there is only a hair left. []
The army slowly coming from the north and south stopped five miles away, from Chaohu in the west to the Shenlong Army defense line in the east. It has been tightly blocked and it is difficult to fly even with wings. At this time, the Shenlong Army's position in the east was still thin, but no one had the idea of ??breaking out. Even if it was a breakout, they would rather attack the north and south armies than attack the east road.
The Shenlong Army did not fire any more cannons, and the sky finally showed a glimmer of morning light.
The horn sounded again, and another large army appeared in the east. It was only then that Huang Degong's troops finally arrived.
Huang Degong hurriedly found Zhuo Bufan's camp because he had heard that Liu Liangzuo and Hong Chengchou's troops had arrived. He was afraid of failure and loss of merit, so he hurriedly led his team here.
At this time, Liu Liangzuo and several generals from General Hong's department had already arrived on the east slope. A new tent was set up on the slope. Zhuo Bufan opened the door curtain and walked out. Bai Bing was fine.
Seeing Liu Liangzuo and others, Zhuo Bufan came up to them with a smile, but Liu Liangzuo and the generals were already shocked and speechless. The sky was already brightening, and in front of them, Chao County was a scene of hell. .
The fire in the city has weakened, with black smoke rising into the sky and covering the sky. The city walls are mottled and incomplete, especially the east gate, which no longer looks like a city gate.
This is not the scariest thing. Halfway from the city wall of Chaoxian County to the eastern hillside, a boundary of about two or three miles, the flat land and wilderness are covered with craters. They are full of corpses of people and horses, complete, incomplete, and some are still there. Twitching and struggling. More often than not, there were clusters of bewildered enemy soldiers, all lying on the ground, in ditches or craters, daring not to move. At this time, soldiers were still coming out of the north and south gates. However, seeing the tragic situation in front of them, they were all at a loss and stayed at the base of the city wall, with more and more soldiers gathering together.
Huang Degong suddenly hurried up the slope and was stunned when he saw the tragic situation in front of him. Even a fool could see that the enemy army was gone, but here, the army was still pressing down with banners flying. Turning his eyes, Huang Degong suddenly shouted: "Soldiers, listen to the order, the whole army is lined up to prepare for battle, and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop!"
"Holy shit!" Zhuo Bufan laughed and suddenly cursed: "Weasel, shut up. Just stay there."
Huang Degong was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and he said angrily: "You, you, a small soldier and general, are so rude. I, I am the commander-in-chief!" Huang Degong did not expect that Zhuo, who was still obedient last time, would be so rude. This little boy actually scolded him in person this time.
"Go to your commander-in-chief. You want to annihilate the enemy, right? Come on, let's give this credit to you. Don't you also have a hundred thousand troops? I'll leave it all to you to fight." Zhuo Bufan laughed and cursed. After saying that, he led the generals to the west side of the slope to check the enemy's situation. Although the enemy army was gone, there were still nearly a hundred thousand soldiers and horses left. Zhang Xianzhong was not an incompetent person. If he really wanted to fight, he wouldn't need cannons. Enough for a pot.
The Weasel jumped to his feet, but after looking at the dark enemy troops at the edge of Chao County in front of him, he still didn't dare to take the credit. After standing there for a while, this guy actually touched his face and came over again with a smile.
Everyone ignored him, and he said with a shy smile: "General Liu, the battle was well fought last night. It was a good start."
Liu Liangzuo suppressed his laughter, but shook his head and said: "I have just arrived, but I have not had any contact with the enemy."
Huang Degong was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his hands to the generals and said: "General Hong is really a famous general who has no weak soldiers. The Zhenbei Army is in the lead. I will ask the court to commend you for your merits!" This means that you can win the battle! Yes, we fought well under the unified command of Commander Huang, and the credit must go to you.
The generals cupped their hands and said, "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, but we have just arrived and have not yet fought with the main force of the enemy in Chao County."
ah? Huang Degong was stunned. The battlefield in front of him was littered with corpses, and the black smoke enveloped the hell-like nest city. It was as if a giant had knocked down one side of the city wall from south to north with a hammer. Who did this? He had just arrived, and so had Liu Liangzuo. Hong Chengchou's wolf cubs were not willing to give in and give up their merits. There were no other teams at the scene. Oh, yes, and Zhuo Bufan's troops were almost negligible on this battlefield where the army gathered. Thousands of private soldiers. It's not like Zhuo Bufan and his few thousand people could have caused such a big scene, just kidding.
Liu Liangzuo bowed his hand to Zhuo Bufan and said with emotion: "The mighty general is well-deserved. Looking at ancient and modern times, today's battle is probably unique. Liu's eyes are really opened."
Huang Degong was in a daze for a while, but then he saw Hong Chengchou's subordinatesSeveral generals also bowed their hands and sighed sincerely: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born in youth. We have gone through many battles. The battle of Haishanguan was already remembered as a timeless moment. I didn't expect to see General Zhuo today." Young hero!"
Huang Degong felt dizzy for a while.
Zhuo Bufan scratched his head, showing a trace of his youthful nature, and smiled: "This, this, hey, this, I deserve it."
Everyone burst into laughter. Zhuo Bufan¡¯s straightforwardness and youthful unruliness made them, the soldiers leaders, feel very close to each other.
Liu Liangzuo looked in the direction of Chaoxian County and said happily: "General Zhuo, leave the rest to us." Although the enemy still had many remaining soldiers, they had no fighting spirit. With the help of Dahua's three encircled troops, Lu's army, with its overwhelming superiority in strength, was destined to win or lose.
Huang Degong's eyes lit up, and he secretly shouted to take the credit, take the credit, and just as he turned around to order the entire army to attack, he heard Zhuo Bufan say: "No need, just hold down the position of the two generals. As I expected, the enemy chieftain He should have surrendered." If Zhang Xianzhong is still alive, the remaining soldiers in Chaoxian County should not be in this state, Zhuo Bufan intuitively thinks so. If this is the case, the war is actually over.
Ignoring Huang Degong at all, Zhuo Bufan got on his horse and rushed out of the camp with all his guards, heading straight for Chao County. Liu Liangzuo and the generals were stunned for a moment, and then followed closely, leaving Huang Degong standing there alone, gritting his teeth as he looked at the backs of everyone.
First Battalion Commander Zhang Sien hurriedly organized a company behind Zhuo Bufan and others. In the distance, he saw a group of several hundred people approaching from the east, and the tens of thousands of remnant soldiers under Chao County City became panicked.
Seeing this scene, Zhuo Bufan confirmed his judgment. He ran halfway and stopped outside the range of the opponent's artillery. Zhang Si'en rushed out at Zhuo Bufan's instruction and rushed to the bow and arrow range before stopping.
Raising his voice, Zhang Si'en shouted: "I am under the command of General Wei Wu Zhuo. When the situation is over, you must abandon your weapons and surrender as soon as possible. Our army promises to treat you well!"
The soldiers at the front of Zhang Xianzhong's department clenched the weapons in their hands extremely nervously. The archers put on their bows and arrows, but did not dare to stick their heads out, for fear that the sharp artillery fire would wreak havoc again. Then the rear army group was also silent, and no one came out to answer. In fact, it's no wonder that when Zhuo Bufan set fire to bombard the city tower last night, all the senior generals were there. At this time, they had already accompanied Zhang Xianzhong to the funeral. Among the 100,000 remaining soldiers, no one dared to take the lead. In fact, they are in disarray.
Zhuo Bufan was helpless. It seemed that Zhang Xianzhong was doomed. However, without a leader, it was troublesome. He could not fight, nor could he recruit people to surrender.
"Quickly abandon your weapons and surrender. Hey, is there anyone who can breathe? Come out and respond." Zhang Si'en shouted loudly while riding his horse and kicking his feet back and forth. However, no matter how he shouted and asked, no one spoke to the other party. According to Dahua's laws, the rebels would implicate the nine tribes. Of course, they may not really kill all the 100,000 people, but whoever takes the lead will be unlucky. Those at the rank of captain and general The officer didn't believe that everything was fine. Some soldiers looked at the officers quietly, and actually frightened them badly. Some of them had already taken off their military uniforms under the cover of their own guards.
Zhuo Bufan shook his head and suddenly raised his arm and waved it vigorously.
A burst of gunfire almost scared Huang Degong, who was looking on the hillside, to jump up. I saw the rapid flash of fire in the three positions of the Shenlong Army, and the fear that had penetrated into the bones of Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers roared through the air, turning a section of the city wall into flying smoke as tens of thousands of soldiers screamed and lost their voices.
The ground beneath our feet was trembling, and a mushroom cloud rose up from the city wall again. Now it was even brighter and we could see clearly. The gravel flew from the air and fell, and many of the soldiers under the city wall were also blown away. After a while, when the smoke cleared, everyone was horrified to find that a section of the city wall that was forty or fifty steps had completely collapsed, and even the burning ruins of the city could be seen.
Not only Huang Degong was dumbfounded, but Liu Liangzuo and the generals also wiped away cold sweat. Oh my god, how can this slim and useless artillery be so powerful? It is so accurate, powerful, and has a terrifying range. Compared with that bulky cannon, The incomparable red cannon is no less impressive. No wonder Zhuo Bufan was able to defeat the enemy with thousands of soldiers and horses. If they knew the rate of fire of the Divine Dragon Cannon, it would probably be even more like a dream.
The rest was simple. The tens of thousands of remaining soldiers under the city threw away their weapons and shouted to surrender. Under Zhuo Bufan's instructions, Liu Liangzuo's and Hong Chengchou's troops sent a large number of troops to the north and south, and each took tens of thousands of prisoners. Under Zhuo Bufan's special instructions, they did not embarrass the prisoners. In fact, they are all common people of Dahua, they speak the same language and have similar customs, and there are many fellow soldiers and relatives among the soldiers and prisoners. As long as there was no order from above, not many people would make things difficult for them.
Huang Degong didn¡¯t get a single prisoner, but it wasn¡¯t because Zhuo Bufan didn¡¯t give him soup., mainly because he knew that if they fell into the hands of Huang Degong, these prisoners would probably be turned into heads on the flagpole to seek credit and reward. Huang Degong gritted his teeth, but did not dare to make any mistakes and became much more honest. A young man who was originally a playboy and incompetent in his eyes suddenly turned into a powerful general who was so decisive and decisive that he would tremble for a long time just looking at him. Most importantly, those thousands of soldiers and horses were completely different in his eyes now.
Seeing that everything was almost arranged, Zhuo Bufan became the boss again. He didn't want any prisoners or military exploits. He just ordered the guards to personally inspect the ruins of the East Gate Tower and found Zhang Xianzhong's body. Leave other matters to Liu Liangzuo and the others, and they will naturally take care of them.
Lifting the curtain, Zhuo Bufan walked into the tent. Bai Bing lost too much blood and fell into a coma. His chest was wrapped randomly by Zhuo Bufan, and some things he shouldn't have seen could be seen in some places. The team that urgently went to Shenlong Mountain to mobilize female military doctors had already set off and could not arrive at this time.
After relaxing, Zhuo Bufan felt very tired. Sitting next to Bai Bing, he suddenly remembered what happened last night and the details of the bandage.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We look at certain places, and that soft shock came to mind, and he involuntarily clenched it with his right hand.
Suddenly he patted his forehead, Amitabha, this is his comrade-in-arms. It is really inappropriate to have such dirty thoughts. It is not our style to take advantage of others' danger. However, it is really big and elastic.
