Chapter 954: I wish I could die
Sun Chuanliang never expected that his thoughts would actually lead the troops to the door of hell. Looking at the enemy cavalry around him and the majority of the cavalry that were eyeing him not far away, it seemed that his energy, courage and belief were slowly losing a mouthful of blood from his body, and it did not let the depression in his chest loosen much. His body was shaking immediately. The guards around him were shocked and rushed up and pulled him off the horse.
Hu Wei's troops retreated, and the two troops gathered together to re-form a large formation with strict defense. But how long can they last? People's energy is limited, and they cannot always maintain such a strict formation without slacking off?
Gaokechao is not in a hurry to attack. At this time, he is already in the hands of the victory. Sun Chuanliang is already the turtle among the men, but he has to beware of his opponent's trap and beasts are still fighting. The dog is desperate to jump over the wall. Gaokechao doesn't want this game to win with the slightest flaw. Su Dingfang's large team will arrive soon. What he has to do is to hold the opponent down. It is more appropriate to attack the dense army.
At night, Gaokechao finally looked forward to the first army to arrive, Su Dingfang and his more than a thousand scout cavalry, as well as nearly a thousand cavalry under Yan Xiaoyi who were resting monsters and guarding the prisoners.
Seeing Su Dingfang arrive so quickly, Gaoke was surprised and relieved. Now he can hand over the command.
"General Su, General Yan!" Gao Ke jumped off his horse, ran quickly to the two horses, clasped his fists as a greeting.
"A Chao, good job!" Yan Xiaoyi said happily. Looking at Sun Chuanliang's guard troops trapped in the distance, Yan Xiaoyi felt that the depression of the past six months was finally wiped out.
"General Gao, thank you for your hard work! Beautiful job!" Su Dingfang was not stingy with his praise.
"General Su came so fast, but why are there only these people?" Gaoke was very happy, but also a little confused.
"After you, I gathered all the scout cavalry of the entire army, selected five thousand elite soldiers, unloaded the carriages of logistics supplies, and ran all the way. Along the way, even food, drink, defecation and sensation were solved in the carriages. We ran faster, so we naturally arrived first. It won't take long for the longest time, and the large army will arrive." Su Dingfang laughed and said, "The headquarters of Anqing Camp will arrive in these two days, but I think, when they arrive, we have already resolved the battle!"
All three of them laughed
As Su Dingfang said, when thousands of torches were lit up, Su Dingfang's five thousand infantry finally arrived, but they were a little embarrassed. Five thousand people also had fronts and backs, some were riding horses and carts, but more of them were running all the way and advanced continuously for a long time. Many pack horses and mules were dead on the road. They could only shake off their legs and run wildly. At this time, they were already exhausted.
"Stay today and tomorrow, attack tomorrow, and fight down!" Su Dingfang said proudly: "After cleaning up Sun Chuanliang, the salt pond is within reach. We have reopened the lifeline of Gui, Shaanxi, Ganzhou and the northern part, and the south will always be peaceful from now on."
The military formation surrounding the guards, the luminous torches were like the street market in the sky, surrounded by half a circle. The Northern Army did not need to surround the opponent, because half of the enemy trapped the enemy were cavalry, and the opponent did not dare to make any abnormal movement. If they wanted to break through, he hit the Northern Army's thoughts. During the opponent's breakthrough, he chased and annihilated it with cavalry. This is exactly what the cavalry generals such as Yan Xiaoyi had dreamed of.
Compared with the bright lights and laughter of the Northern Army, there was a silence in the formation of the Guards. Several torches radiated cold light, making them even more desolate. Although the soldiers on the outside were still standing straight, there was no magic on their faces, and the soldiers who were revolving to rest in the middle were even more depressed and silent. They were all veterans, knowing that unless miracles appeared, the result of the demise would not change at this time.
Sun Chuanliang finally fell down with a huge blow and self-blame. He completely knocked down the once famous general. After being in a coma for half a day, he finally woke up.
"General, are you awake?" Hu Wei knelt halfway beside him and shouted in surprise.
"It's dark!" Sun Chuanliang looked up at the starry sky and murmured, "Has the enemy launched an attack?"
"No attack, general, they come to reinforcements again!"
"Reinforcements?" Sun Chuanliang's eyes did not change at all. It was a matter of time sooner or later. "Is Su Dingfang here?"
"Yes, the enemy has arrived again with thousands of cavalry and thousands of infantry, but no attack was launched!" Hu Wei whispered
"They rushed all the way. Even if they wanted to attack, they didn't have the strength. Maybe tomorrow morning is the time for the general attack! Help me up!" Sun Chuanliang said
Hu Wei stood up with Sun Chuanliang, looking at the ocean of torches outside, and cavalrymen were running back and forth with torches in hand. The strange screams made people even more upset.
"I didn't expect that I, Sun Chuanliang, will be my ending after half my life!" Sun Chuanliang said with a wry smile.
"General!" Hu Wei lowered his head
"Are you afraid of death? Hu Wei!" Sun Chuanliang asked.
"General!" Hu Wei raised his head quickly, "I, Hu Wei, have been following the general. Over the years, whether I was facing the Mongolian people before or later facing the Northern Expedition Army, have I ever taken a step back?"
"Yes, yes!" Sun Chuanliang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I remember, when we were right with the Mengren in Taizhou, you were still a little captain!"
"The general has a good memory, but when we left Taizhou, the general was promoted to a guerrilla general!"
"Ten years, oh, it's about to be eleven years. From a first-rank lieutenant to a fourth-rank general, you have been promoted very quickly," Sun Chuanliang said: "What are you going to do tomorrow?"
"Fight to the death!"
"What's the result?"
Hu Wei lowered his head, "General!"
"What's the result?"
"As a result, we will destroy the entire army!" Hu Wei lowered his head sadly
"Yes, the entire army was destroyed!" Sun Chuanliang stared at the distance in a daze, and after a while, he said: "I wish I could die in Taizhou!"
"Ah?" Hu Wei didn't understand this sentence
"I wish I could die in Taizhou!" Sun Chuanliang repeated slowly: "Every time I think of the scene where the veteran General Feng Congyi and General Guan's son charged alone, I tremble all over. They will surely be remembered forever, but what about us?"
Hu Wei swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" Sun Chuanliang staggered forward a few steps, facing Tongzhou, and knelt down heavily, "From the general, the general has tried his best. The general is desperate today. Even if he dies in battle, he cannot atone for his sins. However, thousands of guards will die with the general. They are still young, and they still have parents to support and their wives and children to take care of. In this situation, I cannot take them to die for my own private name, so the general decides to surrender!"
"General, you can't surrender!" Hu Wei shouted: "In this way, your family will be implicated because of you and will be questioned!"
Sun Chuanliang stood up and pointed at the thousands of guards in the dark, "Compared to them, my Sun family is only a few dozen people, so what's the point? What's more, I followed the general to fight north and south, and made great achievements. The court would not be so heartless and ruthless! Hu Wei, no need to persuade me, I have decided to prepare horses for me, I will meet Su Dingfang, you are here to supervise the army."
Su Dingfang, Yan Xiaoyi, Sanyan Hu, Gaokechao and others did not sleep, but sat around the bonfire power, burning a huge horse's legs on the fire. This time, Su Dingfang ran all the way, but he was exhausted from many pack horses.
Gaokechao took out a bag containing a lot of salt. As a cavalry, these things are essential. His position is not like infantry, and he has logistics and supplies to accompany the army at any time. When the cavalry battalion attacks, he often stays away from the central army. Not only do people have no energy to eat salt, but also horses have to eat it.
The salt bag was handed over to the personal soldiers, and the personal soldiers evenly applied the horse's legs that had been roasted with aroma. After waiting for a while, they cut it into pieces with a knife and handed it to several generals. They were all men in the army, so naturally they didn't pay so long to pay attention. The four of them reached out to grab the piece of meat and ate it voraciously. While eating, they discussed how to fight tomorrow's battle. Although the Xiaowei was already fish on the chopping board, the injured beast was even more fierce. No one of the four people present would underestimate the opponent.
While discussing the details of the combat, a whistle suddenly rose from a distance, and a sharp whistle sounded throughout the night sky. All four of them stood up: "Night attack? Sun Chuanliang is too presumptuous?" Gaoke said in surprise.
With this whistle, the cavalry wandering around raised their torches and quickly moved closer. In the formation, more cavalry had already turned over and horses, and the infantry resting around the fire had recovered a lot of energy. When they heard the whistle warning, they all stood up and quickly began to assemble with the commands of the officers.
In the opponent's army, a war horse sailed out. With the help of several torches held by the opponent, the four of them saw clearly that they could not see more than a dozen of them.
"Looking at the figure, it seems to be Sun Chuanliang!" Three-eyed tiger's eyes were sharp and he said in confusion.
"If it were Sun Chuanliang, the battle would be over!" Su Dingfang seemed a little excited, "He is going to surrender!"
"Surrender? Will the guard surrender?" Gaokechao was a little embarrassed
"Why can't it?" Su Dingfang smiled and said, "They are already in desperate situations. If they don't surrender, they are just a word of death! Perhaps this is Sun Chuanliang's best choice! Let's go and welcome him."
When it was dawn, the four thousand guards surrendered to the Northern Army surrounding them. Sun Chuanliang's request was very simple to ensure the lives of the surrendered soldiers. Su Dingfang and others naturally had no doubt about this. This was the best result. They won the final victory without spending one soldier and one soldier.
The guard surrendered, but Sun Chuanliang asked Su Dingfang and others to work hard. The military doctors with the team were intimately serving. This person cannot die and must live well (to be continued. If you like this work, vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
