The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 157 The Death of Wuzhou ([-])

On the border of Wuzhou, more than a hundred miles away.

There are only two cities in Wuzhou, Wuzhou and Cangwu, and the rest is a barren plain with finely divided hills, like stone swords.

The night wind blows the drizzle, making the wild grass on the plain bow their heads.

But in this kind of night, there were continuous screams and shouts of killing.

The chaotic people and horses were chasing and killing on the grassland.People kept being cut down to the ground and fell into the weeds.

The flag was wet by the rain and rolled up on the flagpole, and it was impossible to see what the flag was.

Among this group of chasing men and horses, tens of thousands of horse troops ran in the forefront.They were all lying low on the horse's back, patting the horse and galloping constantly, but some people fell off the horse's back from time to time, and they couldn't get up again, as if they were exhausted to the extreme.

For several miles behind, there was an endless stream of infantry, some were still chasing the horse army, and some were running around in the night.

After that, it was Ma Jun again.The fish-scale armor slightly refracts the silver light in the night.

These several cavalry formations were neatly formed, and the knights on the horses each held their spears to catch up with the fleeing infantry. The spears stabbed out, piercing through the bodies of the infantry without mercy, and then moved on.

Some soldiers knelt down and surrendered, but were also stabbed to death.They did not surrender in the city before, and now they have no chance to surrender.

And for more than ten miles behind these pursuing horse troops, there were continuous infantry, advancing on the grass where the corpses of Yuan soldiers were scattered everywhere.

The golden dragon flag was lowered, and Zhao Dongting's chariot was surrounded by the pawns.

After leaving Lipu County, they chased after Ali Hague's rear army that night, and then continued to chase and kill them.The remnant army of Ali Hague was crushed and fled continuously. Up to now, it has caught up with Ali Hague's Chinese army.

During the pursuit, Ali Hague's remnant army was beheaded, and more escaped.

After the destruction of Lipu County, there were only less than [-] soldiers left in Ali Hague, and now, there are almost only more than [-] horse troops left.Pawns are almost negligible.Ali Hague had already lost any thought of resistance, so he just led the horse army straight to Wuzhou City.

However, there is a price to be paid for fleeing, because the head and the tail cannot look after each other, so the pawns behind him were killed like this.

All night long, the chasing and fighting never stopped.

In the Song army, the guards, the guards in front of the palace, and the horse troops of the Xingguo army alternately pursued and continuously attacked the Yuan army's horse camp.

The pawns were left far behind.

Zhao Dongting was sitting in the chariot, swaying with the chariot, his left hand was wrapped with a bandage, and his right hand was still reading the military book.

The army had no plans to set up camp, and seemed to be going straight to Wuzhou City.

Two days ago, the anti-Yuan army had already dispatched people for emergency. The Southern Song emperors and generals all wanted to rush to Wuzhou City as soon as possible.

If Wuzhou City can not be lost, it will be of great significance to the entire battle situation in Guangxi and Guangdong.The Song Dynasty will be able to truly bring Guangxi into its hands, and keep the Yuan army in Guangdong outside Wuzhou City, buying time for the development of the entire Guangnan West Road.

Given the danger of Wuzhou City, it is not impossible to stop 20 enemy troops from outside the city with only [-] soldiers guarding it.

Zhao Dongting didn't know if Wuzhou City had fallen, all he could do was rush over there as soon as possible.

The drizzle gradually died down.

Before I knew it, the sky was bright again.

The Ali Haiya horse army in the front is still several hours away from Wuzhou City.

The Song Dynasty horse army has once again caught up with the rear of their horse army, and the fight continued.

Rao Ali Hague even sent several waves of troops to stop them the night before, but they still couldn't stop them.

The Yuan army has been exhausted to the limit and has little combat effectiveness.

Looking at the chaotic horse army formation, there are probably only seven to eight thousand people left.And among the 8000 people, there are still people who fall from the horse.

Some of them starved to death, while others were exhausted and exhausted to death.

Even the war horses stumbled one after another, fell to their knees, then foamed and twitched, and gradually stopped moving.

This kind of running around day and night, let alone a human being, even a war horse can't bear it.

Ali Haiya was also in the horse army at this time, his face was extremely ugly, his lips were pale, and the veins on his forehead were about to burst out.

He really never thought that he would lose so ugly.

He even thought that if he fled to Wuzhou City like this, even if he was saved, he would not have the face to live to see Boyan again, but he was not willing to die like this.He still wanted to live, to defeat the Song army, and to take this shame and humiliation.

"drive!"

Every time he thought of this, a strong desire to survive surged in his heart, and the strength of the whip when he lashed the horse could not help but increase a bit.

The chasing parties are getting closer and closer to Wuzhou City.

Wuzhou City.

Kong Yuan's army had already attacked the city before the sky was fully bright. At this time, in less than two hours, many soldiers had already climbed to the top of the city.

The bowstrings and catapults on the other side of the water village kept ringing, while on the other side of the city wall, there was the sound of shouting and killing.

The people who pretended to be the Yuan army had already run away, and only a few thousand Jurchen soldiers, led by Wan Yanzhang, fought bloody battles with the Yuan army who attacked the city wall.

No one will take care of the Yuan army under the city anymore.

Everyone knew that they would die, and an extremely depressing atmosphere hung over the heads of the Jurchen soldiers.

They charged again and again towards the Yuan army who had climbed the city wall, and people kept falling in a pool of blood.

There were bursts of bangs suddenly sounded from the other side of the water village, as if the sky was falling apart.

Just 10 minutes later, there were only about [-] soldiers left beside Wan Yanzhang.

The Yuan army under the city no longer shot arrows at the top of the city.

Kong Yuan's army was all under the city, Kong Yuan raised his head and looked at Wan Yanzhang's group of people who were still resisting on the city wall, dazed.

After another 10 minutes, there were only a hundred people around Wanyanzhang.

But at this time, thousands of Jurchen soldiers suddenly ran over from the water village.

"kill!"

Numerous wounded among them ran to the top of the wall, without saying anything, they just rushed towards the Yuan army and rushed to Wanyanzhang's side.

Wan Yanzhang smiled wryly, and asked the lieutenant who ran to the side, "Is the water village broken?"

The lieutenant general still had blood dripping from his forehead, and said: "The enemy army has never been able to break through the stronghold. It was the water stronghold that could not withstand the bombardment of the catapults and collapsed."

"Good! Haha!"

Wanyanzhang burst into laughter suddenly, his chest heaving violently, "I didn't lose face to my Jurchen!"

The deputy general looked at Wan Yanzhang's blood-drenched arm, and his voice was a little choked up, "In the next life, I would like to be the general's pawn again! I will die for the general!"

The surrounding Jurchen soldiers shouted, "Die for the general!"

The Yuan army surrounding them was shocked by this momentum, they just pointed their guns at them, and did not charge up again.

Kong Yuan watched from the bottom of the city, suddenly ordered to stop beating the drums, and then shouted at the top of the city: "Wan Yanzhang, I will respect you as a man, surrender!"

Wanyanzhang just laughed wildly, "Thank you, General Kong, for your kindness. I, Wanyanzhang, was first a Jin general, then a Yuan general, and then a Song general. I killed countless Yuan troops in Wuzhou City. How can I surrender to the Yuan Dynasty again?"

Kong Yuan was stunned.

That's right, Wan Yanzhang has already surrendered to the Yuan and rebelled against the Yuan. Even if he surrenders again, he will not survive.Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, was not so generous.

Slowly clenched his fist again, Kong Yuan said in a deep voice: "Drumming! Charge and kill! After the war... Properly bury these Jurchen soldiers..."

As he spoke, he suddenly sighed again, "Wait a minute, pass an order, Yan Zhang's life must not be taken."

There was a bit of regret and guilt on his face.

In this era, heroes are cherished and heroes are valued. Heroes are respected, especially in the army.

The desolate drum sounded.

Fighting started again on the top of the city.

"Long live the Jurchens!"

The Jurchen soldiers guarded the Wanyan Zhang and continued to be bathed in blood, and the corpses gradually piled up, but no one retreated.

Wan Yanzhang kept laughing wildly.

Although he and nearly ten thousand women Zhen Erlang died in Wuzhou, they did not regret it until they died.Die heartily, die passionately.

Time passed gradually.

The only remaining Jurchen soldiers survived until dusk.

The setting sun is like blood.

Wan Yanzhang is the only Jurchen soldier left on the wall.

He poked his mace on the ground and was surrounded by countless Yuan troops.His right arm was trembling constantly, and his physical strength had already reached its limit.

Under the city, Kong Yuan suddenly took off his helmet and bowed his head slightly towards Wanyanzhang.

The generals and soldiers around him also took off their helmets to pay tribute.

Although Wan Yanzhang was an enemy, he won their respect with his courage.

"kill!"

Wanyanzhang tilted his head and looked at the sunset glow in the sky for a while, as if the scene in front of him was filled with scarlet curtains, and suddenly roared loudly.

One person with one stick, rushed towards the Yuan army approaching.

A general of the Yuan army rushed out, and slammed his spear heavily on Wan Yanzhang's mace.

The mace dropped his hand and fell towards the city.

Several Yuan soldiers threw themselves on Wan Yanzhang at the same time, crushing him to the ground.

Wan Yanzhang struggled, and shouted with red eyes, "Why humiliate me? Why humiliate me?"

The Jurchen soldiers are dead, he doesn't want to live, he just wants to die.
