Governor please stay

Chapter 361 Your Uncle Is Your Uncle After All Ⅱ
The moon and stars were sparse, and under Jiuyuan City, the wind was blowing. Three thousand cavalry, with torches lit, were ready to go.

Er Zhurong, who was dressed in military uniform, was standing on a high platform built of wooden planks, and was giving a long lecture to many cronies and the corporal commanders in the army.

"Everyone, the Hexi thieves invaded my hometown, killed my family, and robbed me of my wealth, can you bear it?"

Er Zhurong drew out his saber, shining coldly under the torch, raised his sword and roared towards the sky.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

All the generals roared in unison, and the sound resounded through the sky!Er Zhurong heaved a sigh of relief, the morale of the army is available, and this battle is very exciting.

"Okay! I will personally lead three thousand tigers to attack the Bufan camp in Hedouling tonight, and Er Zhuzhao will lead an army of ten thousand infantry to meet him. If this battle is not successful, you will be benevolent. If you can't recapture Xiurong City, I, Er Zhu Rong, will commit suicide and die." Thank you world!

But before I commit suicide, those of you who retreat, those who don't work hard, and those who refuse to fight the enemy bravely, I will send them to the underworld first!

Cowards who don't want to follow, stand up now, put down your weapons, take off your military uniform, and go where you want to go!Has anyone stood up! "

Er Zhurong looked around the generals, and found that everyone's eyes were firm, and they were moving forward without any sign of retreat.

Er Zhuzhao cupped his hands and went out, "I will follow General Tianzhu to the death!"

"I will follow General Tianzhu to the death!"

All the generals shouted in unison.

"Okay! Send troops now. If you don't break the Hexi bandits, you won't return. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!"

Er Zhurong jumped off the high platform, and chopped the wooden board that had just stood in two with a single blow of his sword.

"If there is anyone who advises to retreat, it is similar to this board!"

Er Zhurong put his sword back into its scabbard, rode on his horse, and accompanied by Er Zhu Tianguang and other generals, led his troops to march.

……

There are no mountains and rivers between Jiuyuan City and Xiurong City, and the Hedouling Bufan camp outside Xiurong City is extremely lax in defense.The big camp was full of property looted from Xiurong City, and it was too late to distribute it.

The soldiers also hid some privately, and everyone's baggage was full.Even in the middle of the night, the camp was still brightly lit. Many people went back and forth between Xiurong City and the camp, constantly packing and loading the looted things into cars, ready to transport them back to their hometowns.

As for Er Zhurong, they didn't care at all.I heard that Gao Huan had sent troops to the south of Jinyang, and Er Zhurong was under attack, so how could he care about them.

From Hedouling Bufan down, no one thinks that Er Zhurong can do anything good. After all, what can a person who has given up his hometown have anything to offer?

Although some people suggested that Hedouling Bufan send troops to pursue Er Zhurong, but since the soldiers in the army were keen on robbery, they were afraid that sending troops would delay the timing of the robbery, and they would lose all good things when they returned.All the soldiers were very resistant to sending troops, they only wanted to smash and loot in Xiurong City.

In view of this, Hedouling Bufan also knew that it was hard to offend public anger, so he had to order the whole army to rest for three days. After counting the spoils, he restrained the soldiers and pursued Er Zhurong to the south.

On this day, the night was about to come to an end, the blackness dissipated, the white like a fish belly gradually appeared, and a hazy light appeared in the sky.At this time, the Hexi thieves, who had spent the whole night sorting out their wealth, were all so exhausted that they leaned back and forth by the fence of the camp and took a nap.

For the prosperity of their own family, these people have given full play to their subjective initiative. They serve as soldiers only for food. If they can also plunder wantonly, it will be a pleasure.They spared no effort in what they took, much more actively than fighting.

A Hexi bandit soldier holding a golden bowl in his arms was sound asleep when he suddenly felt the ground shake slightly.He thought it was a dream, fighting with enemies on the grassland, and couldn't help but hug the golden bowl in his arms even tighter.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

A scream woke him up from an unknown dream.

He suddenly felt empty behind him, and couldn't help falling to the ground.It turned out that someone hooked the fence with a hook and lock, and then dragged wildly with the horse, pulling down a large area of ​​the fence of the camp.

This kind of routine is often used when tribes on the grassland attack each other.

"Someone has attacked the camp!"

"Run! Forget about the money."

"My Golden Buddha, where is the Golden Buddha?"

All kinds of noisy yelling and screaming mixed into an unpleasant noise, which made everyone in the camp extremely shocked.

The Hexi bandit soldier holding the golden bowl just stood up when he was knocked into the air by a galloping horse. He flew up into the air and then fell to the ground with several broken ribs. Immediately another horse galloped away. Come on, the horse's hooves trampled back and forth on his body.But the golden bowl in his arms fell to the ground intact.

Kill, set fire, bomb camp.The Hedouling Bufan camp was in chaos, and Hedouling Bufan himself was not in the camp at the moment, but was happy in the Er Zhurong Mansion in Xiurong City, not knowing that the camp outside the city had been broken.

Er Zhurong's cavalry, full of vengeful anger, hacked around in the camp of the Bufan army in Hedouling. Er Zhurong, who was proficient in cavalry combat, destroyed the fence outside the camp at the very beginning, and the army went back and forth as if on the plain. interspersed.The Hexi thieves had no intention of fighting fiercely, and fled to Xiurong City one after another.

In a hurry, Hedouling Bufan, who learned that the camp outside the city had been attacked, ordered the city gates to be closed.Then Er Zhuzhao arrived with [-] infantry, taking the captured Hexi thieves as the vanguard, forcing them to fill the moat with their lives and build ladders.

The siege battle then began, almost seamlessly following Er Zhurong's attack on the camp.

The Hedouling infantry army that did not manage the defenses of Xiurong City was breached within half an hour, and then the Erzhurong Army infantry poured into Xiurong City like a tide, killing the enemy as soon as they saw it, and no one survived. Even if he knelt down and begged for mercy, he would show no mercy at all.

Fighting all the way to Yuaner Zhurong's mansion, Hedouling Bufan gathered the last force and deployed defenses inside the mansion in an attempt to resist.

At this critical moment, Er Zhu Rong ordered Er Zhu Zhao to find some fire oil from the treasury of the Xiurong City Mansion, arranged it around the mansion, watered it well, and issued an ultimatum to Hedouling Bufan in the mansion: Surrender unconditionally, Otherwise set fire to the house.

If you can't survive, it's useless to surrender!
Hedouling Bufan sternly rejected Er Zhurong with the intention of killing each other and pulling the other away.

However, he wanted to die, but his subordinates didn't want to die in vain.Taking advantage of Hedouling Bufan's unpreparedness, the soldiers beheaded him with a single knife, and sent his head to Er Zhurong to surrender, just asking for his life.

However, Er Zhurong didn't want to take any prisoners at all.Xiurong City was plundered by Hexi bandits, causing heavy casualties and vital energy.

Although he won this time, his prestige was damaged. At this time, he could only use the blood and life of the enemy as a sacrifice in order to calm the anger in the hearts of the people in his hometown and recast his personal prestige.

Er Zhurong ordered the soldiers under his command to shoot rockets towards the mansion, and ignited the fuel that was poured into it.Seeing this, the soldiers of the Hexi thieves rushed out over the wall one after another, but they were shot and killed by the soldiers under Er Zhurong's command who were waiting in battle.

The fire burned for a day and a night, during which many people ventured out to ask for surrender, but Er Zhurong was so hard-hearted, he had long since disowned his relatives, and just ordered his men to shoot and kill those Hexi thieves without asking anything else.

People who kill people will always kill them.The principle of the unsatisfactory circulation of the law of heaven is perfectly interpreted here by Er Zhurong.

During this period of time, soldiers from Hedouling Bufan in Xiurong City were continuously pulled out and killed without exception.Er Zhurong adhered to the concept of "don't look at the fun yesterday, but be careful about making a list today", revenge with revenge, revenge with injustice, and indulge the soldiers under his command to revenge.

Anyway, this is his hometown, and he doesn't worry about his soldiers' military discipline being corrupted and robbing his house.

One after another, the corpses of Hexi thieves were piled up in mass graves outside the city and buried together, while the head of Hedouling Bufan himself was hung on the flagpole at the top of the city, allowing the flies to gather, far away. From a distance, it is extremely terrifying.

The Bufan tribe of Hedouling was suddenly wiped out, which stunned many small tribes who were eating melons and watching operas in Qilian Tianchi.But before they knelt down in front of Er Zhurong to ask for surrender, the other party's butcher's knife was impatiently stretched out.

These tribes were originally attached to Er Zhurong, followed Er Zhurong to eat and drink, and fought in all directions.However, as Er Zhurong lost power, they left independently one after another, but they dared not leave Mayi to go to the desert grassland in the north.Because of their weak strength, they are also worried about being swallowed up by large tribes like Hedouling Bufan.

These small tribes are of the same nature as the Hulu, Modolou, and Shedi tribes who moved inland. They can be regarded as the same kind of people, but the leaders of these tribes lack strategic vision and courage, and their own strength is also very weak. Therefore, they can only be attached to a strong person forever, survive in the cracks, and occasionally take advantage of the fire.

However, it is obvious that Er Zhurong, who wiped out the Hexi thieves under Hedouling Bufan's command and killed tens of thousands of people, has never thought of letting go of those who were watching the fire from the other side, and even the many people who were in Hedouling Bufan's inner circle. small tribe.

Five days later, Er Zhurong, who was resting for a while, selected one thousand of the most daring warriors in the army, one man and two horses, and took advantage of the night to attack a small tribe resting in Qilian Tianchi.

Since the main force of the army did not move in Xiurong City, the scouts of these tribes did not notice Er Zhurong's major military action against them, and all of them relaxed their vigilance.

Repeating the old trick, following the tactics of the Huns, Er Zhurong fought fast, and after breaking up that tribe, he rushed all the way to the next tribe.

The same story, the same plot, the same carelessness, and of course, the same ending.

Er Zhurong's strategy for dealing with these tribes was to break up the establishment, not to wipe them out. Therefore, the speed of his march was extremely fast, and he almost left after fighting.Kill one, and immediately set off to deal with the next one.

Afterwards, Er Zhurong left, and Er Zhuzhao took the main force of the army, a team of one hundred people, to arrest the fleeing herdsmen everywhere, imprison them as slaves, and send them back to Xiurong City.

After a combination of punches, only a small number of organized troops of these small tribes escaped from the gap in the Great Wall in Mayi, and most of them were dismantled from the establishment. The leaders were killed, the herdsmen were arrested, and the control of Qilian Tianchi was lost again. Back to Erzhu's hands.

It took only half a month from Er Zhurong led the troops to withdraw from Xiurong City, and then he led the troops to fight all the way back and wipe out all the hostile forces in the north.

Sitting in the big dream of Spring and Autumn in Yecheng, hoping that Er Zhurong and Hedouling Bufan would fight Gao Huan to the death, but he never expected that his perfect plan would suffer a fiasco at the first step.

The snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit. If the clam dies at the beginning, the snipe will peck the fisherman's eyes!
……

On the Dawang Mountain not far from the eldest son city, Dou Tai looked at the quiet city, and kept beating drums in his heart: Is it better to occupy a city, or lurk on the mountain all the time?

Now Er Zhurong's army doesn't know what's going on in the south, so they should be unprepared.However, once the eldest son city is attacked, their whereabouts cannot be covered up.

This is a matter of life and death. Han Gui thinks that the eldest son city should be attacked, but Dou Tai himself thinks that he should be a little more cautious. At least, it will not be too late to wait until the news of the Hexi thief's success.

Now the differences between him and Han Gui are getting bigger and bigger. If he still doesn't make a decision, it is very likely that the other party will ignore the military order and go it alone. After the established facts are established, he and Zhang Baoluo will be dragged into the water.

Dou Tai is understandable for Han Gui's eagerness.Han Gui's younger sister became Gao Huan's concubine. Under the premise of blowing pillow wind, the more outstanding Han Gui's meritorious service, the easier it is for him to be promoted.

"Captain, this is the news that the scouts got through the heavy blockade."

The soldiers handed a sealed bamboo tube to Dou Tai and said.

After opening the letter and reading it for a long time, Dou Tai thought that his eyes were blurred.He said to the soldiers: "You brought that scout, I have something to ask him."

After a while, the scouts were brought in, and Dou Tai suppressed the astonishment in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "The Bufan tribe in Hedouling was wiped out? Tens of thousands of corpses?"

"Returning to the governor, it is true. Er Zhurong did not survive, and several large pits were dug outside Xiurong City to bury the corpses."

The scout recalled the scene when he saw Er Zhu Rongjun burying his body, and he still felt chills all over his body.

"Hedouling Bufan's tens of thousands of elite soldiers are rampant, so they are gone?"

Dou Tai asked in disbelief.He and his father were both the generals of the border town, and they knew the things in the desert outside the Great Wall very well. It is impossible for tens of thousands of people to say that they are gone.

"Returning to the governor, everything this subordinate said is true. Er Zhurong's army won a great victory, and it is said that they even swept away the rebel tribes near Qilian Tianchi Lake, but this subordinate did not see it with their own eyes, it was just hearsay."

"understood."

Dou Tai nodded slightly, taking advantage of the victory to pursue, this is indeed Er Zhurong's style of marching and fighting.

"Go get General Han and General Zhang to discuss the matter, and say that there is an important military situation."

Dou Tai ordered his soldiers to say.

The Korean Railway Department was stationed nearby, but Zhang Baoluo was thirty miles away. It was already the second day when the three of them got together.

Dou Tai spread out the military information from the scouts in front of the two, and asked helplessly, "How do you think we should deal with the matter now?"

If you withdraw your troops before the battle, you will definitely be held accountable by Gao Huan when you go back.But the withdrawal belongs to the withdrawal, and the responsibility cannot be borne by himself. Dou Tai also thinks very clearly.

"Now that things are going on, Jinyang is no longer available. Even trying to plot Jinzhou will be stopped by Er Zhurong who has freed up his hands. The outcome is uncertain."

Zhang Baoluo didn't say whether to withdraw his troops, but he said "this war is not profitable".

Han Gui felt rather unwilling, who would have expected Hedouling Bufan to be so relentless?He also sighed and said: "We can only withdraw to Ye City. Although there is no victory this time, the army has no losses. I think King Gao will not blame him."

"Then let's do this. General Zhang guards Yangchang Slope. I will wait for the army to retreat to Ye City. General Zhang will follow suit. Is that okay?"

Dou Tai looked at Zhang Baoluo and asked.

"Follow the commander's orders."

Zhang Baoluo's face was full of helplessness, and he agreed with his hand.
