Chapter 284 The end of the war
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The rain in the sky finally stopped, and the dark clouds that accumulated in the sky gradually dispersed. The sun shined through the gaps in the dark clouds onto the plain north of Wanling. Due to the reflection of the rain and moisture, a beautiful line appeared in the sky.
Rainbow Boardwalk.
But the bloody scenes on the plains at this time were not commensurate with the magnificent scenery on the horizon.
Liu Qi was still standing next to the war drum in front of the carriage, struggling to swing the drumstick in his hand. Sweat and rain were mixed on his forehead and cheeks, and fell down his neck to his chest.
The clothes on his body were already soaked through. No matter how wet they were, there would be no difference between them and just now.
The row of shouting soldiers in front of his drum cart were all shouting with hoarse throats and their voices were not as loud as before. Some of them were even speechless.
But Liu Qi didn't let them stop, they just kept on yelling at the top of their lungs.
But all this is not in vain, the advantages between the fields are already quite obvious.
The Shanyue Army and the Jingzhou Army have been fighting fiercely for a long time. Everyone is exhausted and their morale has dropped to the bottom. While they are running away and being driven away, it has already affected the sect commanders behind them, the sect commanders in Shanyue.
They still wanted to fight stubbornly and boost morale in the hope that they could form a formation to resist Liu Qi's offensive again, but it turned out to be completely useless.
They were completely defeated. Now they could not command the soldiers across the mountain. The commanders could only flee with the soldiers.
The cauldron used by Yamakoshi is an effective counterattack tactic that can raise morale to the highest level in a short period of time.
The sect commanders of Shanyue initially wanted to use this method to fight against the army. The tactics were correct, but they misjudged their own abilities.
Tactics are good tactics, but it depends on who is directing the war and the quality of the soldiers who execute it.
How can the people in the mountains be compared with Xiang Yu's army?
…
Currently, among the Yamagotsu clan commanders, the one with the most power and prestige is Zulang.
But in this situation, even Zulang no longer resisted and fled with the soldiers on horseback.
But Zulang's attempt to escape was tantamount to wishful thinking.
Most of Yamakoshi's troops are infantry, and they are not fully armored. Many of them wear coarse clothes and linen to fight the enemy. Those who can ride horses in Yamakoshi's team and wear a full set of armor must have a very high status.
.
Such people are not difficult to find in Shanyue's team, and they are easily targeted by those who want to cause trouble for him.
At this time, Taishi Ci was holding a halberd and leading his soldiers to clash in the formation.
And Zu Lang, who was wearing black armor, wearing a dagger on his head, and riding a war horse, and was fully armed, soon fell into Tai Shi Ci's sight.
Just by looking at him, Taishi Ci was already sure that that person must be the leader of Shanyue.
It’s really fitting that I’ve achieved great success.
Taishi Ci placed the halberd by his side, took off the short bow from his back, took out a feather arrow from the quiver, held the bow in his left hand, pulled the string with his right hand, and aimed the arrow at the ancestor who was running away on horseback not far away.
Lang.
Taishi Ci's accuracy in shooting arrows, at this distance... even if he would suffer some bumps on the horse, it would be enough to kill Zulang.
But when Taishi Ci was about to shoot the arrow, he hesitated slightly.
He narrowed his eyes, made some plans in his mind, and then made a prompt decision, changed the arrow's aim, and aimed the arrow directly at the hip of Zulang's horse.
Then, as soon as Taishi Ci loosened his right hand... he saw the sharp arrow shot out from between his fingers like a meteor, heading straight for the rear of Zulang's horse.
The bad horse felt pain in its buttocks, made a cry, and suddenly raised its front hooves, knocking Zu Lang off its back.
Zu Lang was pushed off by the war horse, his back hit the ground, and he fell heavily to the ground.
After a while, I saw Zulang getting up from the ground in panic, looking at the bad horse running away quickly in the distance with blood on its butt, he angrily cursed loudly on the spot: "You evil beast! I will definitely eat you alive when you turn around."
!”
But at this moment, he couldn't care less about the bad horse that escaped.
But he saw Taishi Ci galloping on a flying horse, rushing in front of Zu Lang at an extremely fast speed.
Zu Lang's reaction was also very fast. He suddenly dodged to the side and passed Tai Shi Ci's horse. Then he picked up the spear from the ground and stabbed Tai Shi Ci on the horse!
Taishi Ci reined in the horse to prevent it from galloping too much. At the same time, he used his halberd to lightly push away the spear in Zu Lang's hand.
Zu Lang missed the hit and was greatly surprised.
Taishi Ci was able to deflect his own spear with just one hand?
You must know that as the most famous sect commander in the Danyang Mountains, Zulang is called the "Jingyang Commander". The reason is not only that he is the most powerful, but also that he himself is extremely brave and invincible to ordinary people.
Now he was using a spear with both hands, but the young cavalryman used a halberd to deflect it away.
When Zu Lang saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little timid.
He calmed down, pointed at Taishi Ci who was holding the spear, and cautiously looked at him on the horse.
Taishi Ci smiled calmly, stepped forward on horseback, and pierced Zulang's head with the halberd in his hand.
Zu Lang fought on foot and held a spear to meet him.
The two of them, one on the horse and the other off the horse, fought with each other, circling around the field and fighting, the horses' hooves and human feet kept moving, each splashing small splashes of water.
The spears and halberds in the hands of the two men were going straight forward, attacking each other's faces, leaving no room for action.
Or it could be said that Zu Lang had no room left in his hands, but there was a certain amount of emotion under Tai Shi Ci's halberd, but it was just not visible on his face.
The two exchanged more than twenty stabs at each other. Finally, Taishi Ci swept his halberd to the side and hit Zulang hard on the back with the branch of the halberd in the opposite direction.
Then he saw that the Douchi was shot away in an instant, crossed the sky, and landed heavily on the water and grass.
Zulang was surprised when he saw that the halberd in Taishi Ci's hand was already placed on his neck, and the soldiers behind him who had been supporting him also stepped forward one after another and pressed their swords against the vital points of Zulang's body.
place.
Zu Lang's hair was disheveled and he looked at Tai Shi Ci on the horse in surprise, but he didn't know what to say.
Taishi Ci looked at him solemnly and said: "As a bandit commander, when you are running away, there is no soldier around to protect you. Don't you feel sad?"
Zu Lang couldn't help but blush when he heard this. He frowned and said, "What do you want?"
"If I want to kill you, I can have you decapitated just now when that arrow hit the horse's butt."
Zu Lang sighed.
He naturally understood the meaning of Taishi Ci's words.
At that moment, they saw Zu Lang kneeling on one knee, cupping his hands towards Tai Shi Ci and saying: "The ancestor of a certain family...please surrender!"
Taishi Ci waved his halberd and said, "I'll tie him up! I'll leave it to the Lord to decide."
On Shanyue's side, some of the sober soldiers were so depressed when they saw their commander-in-chief dying, their mentality collapsed in an instant.
The soldiers of Shanyue were defeated and the general was gone. Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhang Ren and others were chasing and besieging them while raising their weapons high and shouting loudly, "Those who surrender will not be killed!"
As these main captains and commanders from other departments began to ask for surrender, the soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Battalion also followed the pace of their captains, raising their weapons high and shouting, "Those who surrender will not be killed!"
One person shouted, ten people shouted, and finally thousands of people drank, and finally more than ten thousand people.
The shouts of thousands of people reached the defeated Shanyue army on the battlefield, and the shouts of "Those who surrender will not be killed!" were like their last hope of survival, resounding in the depths of their hearts.
These four words, "Those who surrender will not be killed" were shouted continuously by more than ten thousand soldiers of the Southern Barbarian camp with high morale, and like thunder resounding in the sky, it instantly spread throughout the ten-mile Shura field.
The shouts were shocking, and the murderous intent was everywhere.
Shangoe's army was defeated and fled in order to survive. Now, hearing the four words "Those who surrender will not be killed" are like hearing the cry for help.
Tens of thousands of people in the battlefield knelt down one after another, and they also shouted, but what they shouted was,
"I wish to surrender!" "I wish to surrender!"
"I'm waiting for you!"
…
At the rear of the battlefield, the scouts quickly reported back to Liu Qi, who was beating the drum on the chariot.
"Master Fu! We have won! We have won! The thief commander Zu Lang tied his hands, Fei Zhan, Han Tao, Xu Tu and other sect commanders were beheaded. Our army won a great victory, and tens of thousands of people in the mountains and rivers were willing to surrender!"
Liu Qi, who had been beating the drum, finally stopped when he heard this.
His hands were trembling slightly at this moment, his back was sweating like rain, and his face was flushed.
From the beginning to the end of the war, he continued to beat drums for the three armies and ordered his hundreds of messengers to shout slogans on the battlefield.
All the hard work paid off, and now the big thing is finally settled.
After this battle, he gained not only the surrender of Shanyue's troops, but also the military morale of the Nanman camp.
If Liu Qi originally controlled the Nanman Camp by relying on his policies and officers such as Dian Wei, but from today on, these will gradually no longer be the necessary conditions for him to continue to control the Nanman Camp.
From now on, he will be recognized by the soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Camp.
