At this moment, the guards who had already rushed into the house were stunned. It turned out that feelings were friends of adults. However, they were naturally on guard until they received orders.
Hong Chengchou actually didn¡¯t give an order, but could not hold back his surprise and said: ¡°How many have come?¡±
Zhuo Bufan understood this senseless statement and said with a wry smile: "Even nine of me."
Suddenly, undisguised disappointment flashed through Hong Chengchou's eyes, he took back his sword and returned it to its sheath, waving his hand. The soldiers left quickly, and the windows that were knocked open were carefully closed. The cold wind that broke into the room was warmed up again by the action of the brazier, but Hong Chengchou seemed to be blown through by the cold wind and sat alone. Returned to the seat. Not a single flower stopped him, and he returned to Zhuo Bufan.
Zhuo Bufan didn't care at all. He smiled and pulled up a chair and sat opposite Hong Chengchou, crossing his legs.
When Hong Chengchou saw Zhuo Bufan, who didn't think he was an outsider, he seemed to feel better. He shook his head and said, "Hong lost his etiquette. General Zhuo, don't blame me. I've heard your name for a long time, but I never had the opportunity to meet you. I didn't expect you to be here today." This Songshan Death Land can be seen."
Zhuo Bufan smiled and said: "No, Bufan has also admired the general's name for a long time. He has wanted to pay a visit to him for a long time, but he only got the chance today."
Hearing this, Hong Chengchou shook his head again: "This opportunity is somewhat inappropriate."
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Bufan also shook his head and said: "No, no, no, it's the right time, it's the right time."
Hong Chengchou shook his head and said nothing after hearing this, but he didn't care about the words that seemed to be sarcastic. He suddenly saw the impossible Zhuo Bufan appear here, and thought that Dahua's reinforcements would finally arrive, but he didn't expect it. There are only nine people, which is the same as none. He himself has been paying attention to the Shenlong Army. He believes that if the Shenlong Army, which is full of firearms and light cavalry, goes all out, it is not impossible to escape. However, no matter how embarrassed you are to say these words, as someone who has been fighting for decades, he naturally knows what is within his duty and what is outside his duty.
Zhuo Bufan saw the thoughtful Hong Chengchou and guessed some of his thoughts in his mind, and said directly: "General Hong, I'll just say it straight. It's not impossible for our Shenlong Army to leave the border, but I don't have a guarantee of victory. Grasp." Zhuo Bufan was telling the truth. What advantages did the Shenlong Army have as a firearms army, and what were the difficulties and dangers of rushing out of the border. These had already been analyzed. He believed that the experienced Hong Chengchou would naturally understand.
Hong Chengchou sighed and said: "I understand, even if I am sure of victory, if I were you, I should not lead the army here." Now, he only leads 30,000 people who are not of the same mind. There are so many remaining soldiers, and it's not really worth the risk for such a small number of troops. I am afraid that this is also the reason why the imperial court has not come to rescue for so long. After all, according to past experience, there is no chance of victory without twice the strength of the Tatars.
Shaking his head again, Hong Chengchou changed the topic and asked strangely: "Why did General Zhuo go into danger alone? This place has become a place of death, and his life may be in danger at any time."
Zhuo Bufan put away his smile, sat upright and said seriously: "Bufan is here for the future of China."
Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhuo Bufan's expression carefully, and then asked: "But I heard the details."
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Bufan relaxed his shoulders and returned to his smiling look, saying, "There's no rush. Bufan would like to ask General Hong first, what are you going to do now?"
Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, I don't know what to do." After a pause, he continued: "There is actually little hope of breaking out, and holding on is just sitting back and waiting for death. In this situation, any strategies are useless. . Alas, I, Hong, have dedicated my life to Dahua for more than twenty years and have been loyal to the court and the emperor. Looking back at this moment, I really feel like the past is clouded. I died fighting for the country today, and I think I died a worthy death."
At the end of his words, he let out another long sigh, showing the loneliness of the hero.
Zhuo Bufan stared into Hong Chengchou's eyes and said softly: "Perhaps, there is another broad road"
"Huh?" Hong Chengchou frowned and asked in confusion: "Another way? What do you mean?"
Zhuo Bufan said softly and unhurriedly: "If you don't want to sit back and wait for death, wouldn't it be easy? Just put down your sword and gun and open the city gate."
Suddenly, Hong Chengchou grasped the handle of the knife and stared at Zhuo Bufan in front of him with wide-open eyes, as if he was about to explode and slash. Zhuo Bufan remained unmoved at all, while Yi Zhihua quietly touched the ground with one foot and held a steel needle in his hand.
However, Hong Chengchou, who was like a taut bowstring, did not move after all, and his innocent fingers that tightly grasped the handle of the knife slowly relaxed. Seeing Zhuo Bufan like this, he seemed to become nervous, and Yi Zhihua also started to raise his skills.
Hong Chengchou suddenly let go of the hilt of the knife and laughed: "When did the mighty general Zhuo Bufan become the Tatar's leader?"Customer? "
Zhuo Bufan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "It's not important, so what if it is, and what if it's not? What's important is your plan, sir."
Hong Chengchou laughed again, even to tears. However, he could not hide the desolation in it. After a long time, he said: "Brother Bufan, although you and I have never met, no matter what your impression of Hong is, Hong has already known him." You treat me as a friend. I, Dahua, have nothing to fear when I have a young hero like you. A Dahua general who annihilated heavy Tatar troops while talking and laughing, and who can run hundreds of miles for his subordinates, how could he become a Tatar lobbyist. I I would rather believe that it might be normal for a sow to bloom on the iron tree." After saying that, he let out a long sigh, "Brother Bufan, there is no need to test Hong anymore. Hong is just asking for a worthy death. If you can't believe me, you can take action now. ¡±
Zhuo Bufan was stunned and nodded secretly. Hong Chengchou actually saw his murderous intention just now, and his words were sincere and could not be faked.
" In this way, Zhuo Bufan finally put away his cynicism and said seriously: "Brother Hong is serious. Bufan also regards Brother Hong as a friend. However, what Bufan said just now is not a test."
Ren Hong Chengchou was thinking carefully, but now he was a little confused. He looked at Zhuo Bufan with confusion. He knew that Zhuo Bufan had something to say behind him.
Zhuo Bufan did not continue, but asked: "I dare to ask Brother Hong if Guanwai is important to me, Dahua."
Hong Chengchou replied without hesitation: "Of course it is important. The outside of the pass is the barrier of our capital. Guard the outside of the pass and the Guanning defense line. If you advance, you can threaten the rear of the Tatars. If you retreat, you can help defend Haishan Pass. At the same time, it also cuts off the Tatars' access to the sea. Passage. Alas, it is a pity that the situation is over at this time. The Tatars have conquered the outside of the pass and will inevitably grow stronger in the future. Our capital city of Dahua is in danger, and the Tatars can march straight into the pass. Dahua"
Zhuo Bufan nodded, and then said: "It is true that the situation is over, but things are not impossible."
"Oh?" Hong Chengchou heard this and said quickly: "Brother, what do you mean by this? Please tell me quickly."
Zhuo Bufan approached Hong Chengchou, lowered his voice and spoke in a low voice.
After a long time, Hong Chengchou took a deep breath and leaned back on the chair. His complexion suddenly became clear and dark, and even a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. It was obvious that he was going through this painful struggle in his heart.
Zhuo Bufan also leaned on the back of his chair and silently looked at Hong Chengchou, who was fighting with the Zhengtian people in front of him, with a trace of sympathy in his eyes.
The room fell into silence, and at this time, there was a vague noise and chaos outside.
At this time, it was not far from dawn. In the city, a large number of soldiers were running and mobilizing, and gradually gathered at the east gate. After a chaotic whole team, they finally gathered their formation. A general on horseback gave an order, and the city gate opened. . A large number of soldiers and horses quickly rushed out of the city, without any torches to illuminate them, and they were just groping in the dark. There may even be occasional crowding and stampedes during this period, and those who are scrambling to be the first are afraid of being left behind.
After only half of them had emerged, the troops and horses that broke through were discovered by the Tatars. For a while, horns were heard one after another outside the city. In the darkness, the enemy could not be seen. Only the faint horns were heard from all directions in Songshan, gradually heading towards the east gate. Come together. At this time, the Chinese army that had broken through began to panic, and the officers' orders gradually lost their effectiveness. A large group of troops rushed directly to the east where there were few horns, and not far from there was the East China Sea beach.
In order to escape for their lives, the Chinese army finally burst out with the courage to fight to the death. Thousands of Tatars blocking the east side were actually broken through. Seeing hope, the Chinese army ran as fast as they could. On both sides behind them, they could already faintly hear That terrifying dull sound of horse hooves is a life-threatening drumbeat that only thousands of war horses can gather together.
The strange thing is that the Tatars did not seem to be in a hurry to pursue them. They just used their horn horns to echo each other and fell behind and on both sides of the Dahua army. However, there were Dahua soldiers who fell behind, but there was only a short scream and whine, and then there was no more. Live interest. One after another, one after the other, one after another, the two sides actually ran very far away. When the sky was getting brighter, the front of the Great Chinese Army was completely empty. A cold and slightly fishy sea breeze came towards them, and waves appeared in front of them.
The general on horseback had long since disappeared, and the remaining nearly 20,000 Chinese soldiers looked at each other in confusion at the sea in front of them, not knowing what to do. Behind him, the horns sounded again.
Soon, the non-stop sound of horse hooves behind them got closer and closer. After several yellow pennants, the Tatar cavalry jumped out of the horizon and filled the sky and the fields. I don¡¯t know how many there were. At the same time, they also appeared in the north and south. A large number of Tatar cavalry. The soldiers of the Chinese Army who have fought with the Tatar Army for nearly two years know that this is the most elite force of the Tatars, the Jianning Cavalry directly under the Qing royal family.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡Look up, this is the most elite and cruel army of the Tatars.
Some of the Chinese troops in the rear dropped their swords and guns in despair, knelt on the ground, raised their arms and shouted loudly, just praying to save their lives. However, when the yellow tide of iron cavalry drowned them without hesitation, the remaining Dahua soldiers cried out in despair, dropped their swords and guns, took off their armor, and ran across the beach, rushing into the cold water one after another. In the biting tide.
