Chapter 154 - Massacre
Luo Shixin's words "I will not do it if I withdraw the army" made the military tent a long time.
Lei Yongji sighed: "If you march, you should retreat, and if you advance, you should advance. If you force yourself to hold on, you will only sacrifice the lives of soldiers in vain."
How could Luo Shixin not understand the truth about Lei Yongji? But he was unwilling to fail like this. Now they are at a disadvantage, but they have not yet reached the end of their lives, and they are not completely without a chance to break the deadlock. Perhaps it is because of personal emotions that he has not yet been defeated when he comes to this world. With the inherited martial arts and the Mo Dao warriors created based on knowledge of the extraordinary times, and with some wit, he has not yet received any defeat.
This person who has not failed naturally is unwilling to let go of a great opportunity and endure the result of failure. The main purpose of this battle is to take Yuyang. Yuyang has not been captured. Even if other battles are beautiful, they will still fail.
Luo Shixin finally realized how determined and courage it takes to resist public opinion. He suddenly thought of Li Shimin and the peak battle of Li Shimin in his life: the battle of Huzhu. The situation they faced was actually there.
It seems familiar. Li Shimin was ordered to attack Luoyang Wang Shichong, and he destroyed the cities and villages all the way to Luoyang, causing the waters to besieged Luoyang. Just when Luoyang was about to fall, Dou Jiande led a hundred thousand troops to aid.
Faced with this 100,000 army, almost all the generals and advisers of the Tang Dynasty persuaded Li Shimin to withdraw, even Fang Mou Duan. However, Li Shimin resisted the opposition and decided not to retreat. He personally led a few soldiers to Hulao Pass to station, resulting in a terrifying record of over 35 million and over 100,000.
However, compared to Li Shimin, the situation he faced was much worse at this moment. Li Shimin at least had Hulao Pass to hold on. At the beginning, Li Shimin's intention was to defend Hulao. With the benefits of the pass, he delayed time. As a result, Dou Jiande was eager to fight and revealed his flaws. Li Shimin was as vicious as a poisonous snake in his use of troops. He was good at catching flaws. Once he was asked to catch flaws, he would bite him. As a result, a 100,000 army was crushed by him in this way.
Luo Shixin understood in his heart that Li Shimin's victory is unreplicable and requires the cooperation of all aspects of the right time and place.
He was not Li Shimin, and Jie Li was not Dou Jiande. The dilapidated Great Wall that had been disrepaired for a long time was even more impossible for a Hulao Pass that could not be opened by a man. But if Li Shimin had not opposed the public opinion at that time, why would he create this miracle?
"You all retreat!" Luo Shixin issued an order to expel guests and said, "Waiting for my final decision tomorrow morning, and never retreat until this last moment."
Xue Yong, Lei Yongji, Zhang Pinggao, Lu Junyan, Su Dingfang, Mo Hu'er and Wang Xuance retreated one after another.
The group left the general's tent, and Zhang Ping stopped and walked: "General Xue, General Su Lang, General Mo Lang, you are the general's confidants. Please persuade appropriately. The general's intelligence and strategy should be first-class, but he is young after all, and he cannot let go of the victory or defeat. The loss of this battle was due to leaking news. It is not a crime of war. The Turkic army is coming soon. If we cannot withdraw from Yuyang in time, and 100,000 cavalry will be bombarded and killed, not only will our entire army be wiped out, but Youzhou will be difficult to preserve."
"Don't worry!" Xue Yong said: "You don't know the general, and it's true that the general is competitive. But he will not joke about the lives of our generals. I can assure you of this, not that he cannot accept the support of the victory or defeat, but that it is not that time and time to truly admit defeat. The Turks will only pass the Great Wall at noon tomorrow. As long as we can withdraw our troops early this morning, there is enough time to return to Peking to set up defenses."
Su Dingfang agreed: "What General Xue said is exactly what I want to say. I believe that the General is rational enough and know that the General is not a person who easily admits defeat. He will not give up until the last moment. There are still two hours left before Tianming. In these two hours, no one will agree to anyone who tells him to withdraw his troops, and he may even be scolded."
When Lei Yongji, Zhang Pinggao and Lu Junyan saw Xue Yong and Su Dingfang said this, he didn't say anything. He looked at each other and saw the other's unwillingness.
The victory you get and the results you get are lost like this. How could Luo Shixin be unwilling to accept it?
Just as Xue Yong and Su Dingfang said, unless it is a real thing, even if everyone in the army advises him to withdraw his troops, as long as he is still the commander of the three armies, he will not issue an order to withdraw his troops.
His persistence and desire for victory is not something that ordinary people can understand.
Luo Shixin reorganized his thoughts. The strength of the two sides was too disparate, and there was still no good way.
"Come, go and invite the scout to me."
Luo Shixin called Wang Xuance again.
Seeing Wang Xuance's doubts, Luo Shixin smiled and said, "You should also know one thing about the current situation. It's not optimistic. I need to understand the content of the two people's words in more detail. It's better not to leave a word and be able to recall it perfectly."
"Reply to the general..."
"Don't always be polite," Luo Shixin interrupted him directly, "Talking back to the general's words, you say 'return to the general's words'. I'm tired and annoyed when I listen to it, and I don't have time to sit down and say it. I don't have so many rules, I pay attention to happiness."
Wang Xuance felt a little wider. Luo Shixin's straightforward words brought the distance closer. He once again explained the incident of encountering the two black shadows in detail. With his good memory, he almost copied the original words of both of them.
Luo Shixin has been listening carefully without showing any impatientness. From time to time, he would ask about some details carefully and repeatedly, and even ask Wang Xuance about his opinions.
In just a few less than a hundred sentences, Luo Shixin thought about it for half an hour and learned the situation of the Turks thoroughly.
Luo Shixin closed his eyes and thought: the situation of the Turks, the weaknesses of the Turks, the strength of the Turks... Over and over again, never tire of getting tired of it, flashing in his mind again and again.
Half an hour later, Luo Shixin suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of boldness and madness in his eyes.
Seeing that Wang Xuance was still in the tent, he smiled and asked him to go down to rest, and then shouted: "Come on, bring the chiefs of the five tribes of the Xi tribe, and I want to treat them well."
King Xi Ah Huiru, the chief of Duji tribe Du Jihu, the chief of Aoshi's tribe Aoshinan, the chief of Chuhe's tribe, and the chief of Chuhemu, the chief of Yuanqizhe's tribe Yuanqizhe's tribe, came outside the chief of the chief of the five tribes of the Xi tribe under the soldiers' push.
"Report to the general, the prisoners are brought here."
The five people were outside the tent and you didn't dare to take the first step.
The five of them shoved their backs roughly at the same time, and they had to stagger and approach the big tent.
Because of Gu'an County, the Tang army hated these five people to the core, and they were not treated as chiefs without the treatment of a chief. They were dirty and smelly and extremely sloppy.
Luo Shixingao sat on the top and looked at the five people, and smiled and said, "It seems that you are treated well, but you are not missing any arms or legs. I have to say that we are so kind."
Du Jihu had the most temper. He thought about his experience along the way and shouted angrily: "If you want to kill or cut, just do it. My tribe leader, how dare you insult me like this and bully others too much."
"You know that it's too much to deceive others?" Luo Shixin smiled sarcastically, not wanting to have a quarrel with them. He just clapped his hands and shouted, "Come on!"
With his orders, more than ten soldiers carried two rows of weapons into the tent.
There are no more weapons like knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, halberds, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, spears, sticks, sticks, sticks, sticks, crutches, and meteors.
The five chiefs looked at each other, not sure why.
Luo Shixin waved his hand and asked someone to go down, looking at the five people sincerely, "I'm so sorry, I'm going to break my promise. Those who originally planned to kill you in Gu'an County are now forced by the situation, so they can only borrow your head now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the five tribe leaders changed color one after another, and rushed to the weapon stand to retrieve the weapons almost at the same time.
They were in a panic, took the weapon and protected them in front of them, staring at Luo Shixin vigilantly.
"Don't be anxious!" Luo Shi trusted them and said jokingly: "I asked someone to bring a weapon stand to select weapons for you, and I didn't think of sneak attacking first. You can choose slowly and choose a handy one. I don't like people who have no power to kill people."
Du Jihu screamed in anger, threw away the sword in his hand, replaced it with a big axe, and first met Luo Shixin.
Luo Shixin didn't move at all. Just as the axe was approaching, he grabbed the handle of the axe and snatched it over. He raised the axe and fell down with his hands. The two arms of Jihu fell down accordingly.
"I have no hands, what's the use of my feet?" As he said that, he waved his axe diagonally, and his calves below his thighs broke away from Du Jihu's body. Du Jihu lost his support point and fell to the ground and screamed, blood sprayed from all directions like a fountain.
Ah Huiru, Ao Shinan, Chuhe Mu, Yuan Shizhe Er immediately lost his expression.
"Don't worry, you will be like him soon... By the way, you stood and let me chop it?" Luo Shixin walked towards the four of them step by step, and the big axe in his hand was turning around.
Ah Huiru and Ao Shinan, and the Mu Gou jumped over the wall, divided into three sides of swords, guns, swords, and attacks on three sides.
In front of Luo Shixin, the three of them had no numerical advantage at all. They all cut off their limbs and fell to the ground even worse than dogs.
Yuan Qizheer did not dare to move, and watched the powerful Xi clan make Luo Shixin cut off their arms like bullying a child, and said tragically: "You are too cruel."
Luo Shixin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Thinking about Gu'an County, I still think I am too kind. I have never attacked those who do not resist, you are the exception." After breaking Yuan Qizhe's limbs, Luo Shixin walked out of the commander's tent and said, "When there is no sound in the commander's tent, cut off their heads for me, I will be useful." Leave this sentence and walked to the place where the prisoners were imprisoned.
The next morning, Xue Yong, Lei Yongji, Zhang Pinggao, Lu Junyan, Su Dingfang, and Mo Hu'er were all waiting for Luo Shixin's decision.
Luo Shixin looked at everyone and issued his order: to siege Yuyang and attack the city immediately!
With six heads in amazement, the generals rode on the Red Piao.
"Where are you going?" Mo Hu'er shouted inexplicably.
"Look for Jie Li!"
Luo Shixin's voice came from afar
One person and one ride!
