Chapter 116 Ruthless!
This killing is inevitable. After all, the gap between the forces of the two sides is very large. If they do not take advantage of this time to completely defeat Pei Jin, they will soon make a comeback.
At this time, there were about 50,000 imperial troops under the Hanzhou city, and most of these 50,000 were Hanzhong Army or Jincheng defenders, and they were elite troops under Pei Jin's command. They originally thought that they would take Hanzhou in one go today, but who would have thought that this "sky thunder" would be disrupted in an instant.
The number of people on the battlefield is not as good as possible. Compared with the number of people, what is more important is whether the generals can command. No matter how many troops there are on the battlefield, if the generals cannot fully control it, it will not only not improve its combat power, but will even become a burden.
Now these formations are scattered, and those who are running around have become Pei Jin's burden.
He could not command these escaped people, and could not stop them from escaping. Therefore, when Pei Jin used a Qianli Mirror to watch Mu Ying and others break out of the city gate, his face suddenly turned pale.
He knew very well that in this case, if the enemy goes out of the city to pursue, as long as their formation is not chaotic, it will be a one-sided massacre!
Although General Pei did not come to the front in person, he only heard loud noises and didn't know what was going on, but he quickly reacted and ordered quickly.
"I will order the whole army to retreat slowly, and the troops behind us will rise to the rear of the palace and retreat in an orderly manner!"
"If there is a tramplinger, the supervisor will kill him on the spot!"
If the front was defeated head-on, Pei Jin's words might be useful. After all, this is within the scope of everyone's understanding, and it is understandable that it happens.
But now, the people in front were made like this by unknown forces. Everyone was panicked. There was no more structure between the military formations, and everyone was running backwards.
If the order is issued, it will be a sank to the sea.
Few people heard Pei Jin's general order, and even if they heard it, they would probably ignore it.
The stampede is still happening.
Mu Ying and others had already caught up with the last group of people. They either held swords or guns, ruthlessly harvested these lordless imperial soldiers.
Blood sprinkles the earth!
In just half an hour, the casualties of Pei Jin's troops exceeded the number of people who died in the city of Hanzhou. Pei Jin saw all this. The general of the imperial guard who had experienced the storms of two dynasties was about to break his eyes.
He clenched his fists hard, and blood bleeded from the corners of his mouth.
The general knew in his heart that the soldiers who fled on the front line were no longer controlled. If this continued, if they disrupted the formation, more people would be killed.
"Transfer this order!"
Pei Jin almost roared: "All the soldiers in the back row are not allowed to retreat and turn the direction. If someone rushes to the formation, no matter whether they are enemies or us, they will be killed on the spot!"
The meaning of this sentence is very obvious, which is to make the army that has not yet become chaotic and is still under his control, turn the direction and raise the sword to his friendly forces. As long as someone rushes around, regardless of the enemy and us, he will kill him on the spot!
This is a method that sounds cruel but is very useful. At this time, all the troops in the front row are in chaos and there is no way to control them. If this continues, not only the front row, but the soldiers in the back row will also be affected and they will be disrupted by them. When the thieves in Hanzhou come here, everyone will die here!
If any general is here, he would probably make a choice like Pei Jin when facing this situation.
So, the imperial army split into two from the middle, and the soldiers in the back row turned around, drew out their weapons, and raised their swords and guns in the face of these escaped comrades.
Many people were shocked by the thunder, and they didn't care about anything else, and rushed towards the back. As soon as they escaped to the back row, a knife flashed and a head flew out of thin air.
Just as he flew up, he seemed to hear someone shouting at them.
"Look back immediately, don't retreat, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
Then his eyes went dark and he lost his last consciousness.
At the same time, there were many people like him. Heads flew up from their necks and drew a clear line on the ground.
No matter who you are, as long as you cross the line, you will be killed immediately!
As a result, the killing speed became faster.
Because it was not only Mu Ying and others who were killing people, Pei Jin was also slaughtering his own people.
Li Xin threw down the thunder when it was almost noon. After only two hours, more than 20,000 corpses lay down on the battlefield!
Most of them were killed by Pei Jin.
This is the hero's severance.
In the evening, Mu Ying, who was covered in scarlet clothes, sat on the jujube horse, panting while looking at Pei Jin not far ahead, with a bright smile on her face.
Pei Jin was also watching the black-faced general.
At this time, he had too many questions and had to question the Shu man in front of him, but the two of them were unable to speak in a single arrow.
At this time, the people on the field who were in chaos due to thunder were already dead. Mu Ying and Pei Jin each brought a group of men and confronted each other from afar.
Between the two of them, there was a line drawn with their heads.
Mu Ying simply judged the situation and knew that he could not continue to fight. He was also very decisive. After waved his hand, he said in a deep voice: "Let's go, let's go back to Hanzhou!"
After saying that, he turned his horse's head.
Before leaving, he asked a captured imperial lieutenant to send a message to Pei Jin.
"General Pei, what a ruthless method!"
Pei Jin was expressionless after hearing this relay.
But not far away from him, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Huai and his son both looked ugly and were planning something in a low voice.
...
On the other hand, Mu Ying and his men finally returned to Hanzhou City. After he returned, he almost collapsed from the jujube.
During the pursuit just now, he killed dozens of people with his own hands, swung his gun hundreds of times, and fought for a whole half of the day, which had exhausted General Mu.
He endured his fatigue and climbed to the city tower in Hanzhou. After finding Li Xin who was sitting on the city wall in a daze, General Mu collapsed directly to the ground and kept breathing.
"Mr. Marquis, we won..."
He gasped and spoke.
Li Xin's face was calm.
"See it."
Mu Ying glanced at Li Xin and sighed: "It's a pity that General Pei cut off his arm, otherwise we could chase after ten miles more. At that time, there would be no threat from these imperial troops."
Speaking of this, he spat a mouthful of blood and cursed: "Pei Jin, this bastard, actually asked his subordinates to turn around and chop off his own people. It's so fucking cruel!"
“This is a good way.”
Li Xin's face was calm and said, "If he had no such courage, the imperial army would be directly disabled this time, instead of having half of the main force left like now."
In today's war, roughly estimated that the deaths and injuries of the imperial court would reach 20,000 to 30,000 people. In addition, the casualties they suffered during the siege before should have exceeded 30,000. If only the elite troops were counted, these people would be almost half of the power of the imperial court's expedition to the west.
Mu Ying lay on the big bluestone. After resting for a while, he finally recovered some strength. He sat up from the ground and turned to look at Li Xin.
"Mr. Marquis, we have beaten Pei Jin. What are we going to do next?"
"Look first, see if this General Pei will come again."
Li Xin took off the black cloth from his face and looked at the capital.
