Decided in One Battle
I went to my father's tent and reported the situation. I turned around and ordered Chen Heng behind me,"Everyone, after resting for two cups of tea, we will attack again. This time, Chen Heng and my father led his personal guards to attack. When they attacked, they ordered the soldiers to shout for Liao Hua to be captured alive. Xue Li and I prepared for the third attack. I will lead Ling Cao's spear team to attack. You let the sword shield team rest and adjust. Chen Heng, you have to take care of my father."
"Understood!" Chen Heng replied.
After two cups of tea, his father and Chen Heng led the team to attack. I watched as they left, my heart filled with worry. No matter how brilliant their plans were, the battlefield was ever-changing. Everything was unpredictable. I looked down at my boots. The soles of my boots were bright red. I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my flesh as I trembled.
"Big brother, don't be like this. The brave and fearless! His father had been through a lot, so he would be fine.”He Qi suddenly said to me in my mind.
"Thank you, but I'm still not used to it. In our world, we can't see such a bloody scene.”I answered in my heart.
"Any peace is built on the foundation of war. Big brother, I only saw this from your brain.”Little He Qi continued.
"These are all theories. Real things still need to be slowly comprehended by oneself! Thank you, I feel much better!" I nodded and said in my mind.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, his father and the others returned. They had killed many enemies, frightened Liao Hua, and exhausted Zhou Cang's army.
According to the scouts, Zhou Cang didn't dare to let the soldiers take off their armor and was ready to help at any time. The ten thousand soldiers under Zhou Cang were all complaining. The soldiers in Liaohua Harbor saw our army burn the rations. Now that they had been ambushing, most of them had low morale. Only a small portion of the soldiers who came ashore came up. Seeing that they had run out of rations, the soldiers began to whisper to each other. Liao Hua had sent a small officer to rush the grain and grass. He then rowed away with a few people as if he had been liberated.
After another two minutes, I led the spearmen to attack. As soon as they arrived at the east side of the port, they saw many soldiers sitting on the ground with weapons in their hands. It seems that Liao Hua is not stupid. He guessed that we might come again. Xue Li and I will lead the troops to feint and fight. They had killed quite a number of enemies and even saw quite a number of them fleeing after a fight. I knew that it was about time, so I retreated. This time, Zhou Cang was even more miserable. He had already led his team for more than twenty miles, and when he heard that our side had withdrawn, he was so angry that smoke was rising from his seven orifices. He wanted a small school to bring 3,000 people into the port. He led the remaining troops back to his camp.
Our entire army began to rest. At the first watch, I saw that it was time. I gathered all the troops and ordered,"The troops are cooking at the second watch, and the entire army is attacking at the third watch. Commander Zhou Ang, now is the time for you to make a contribution. For this attack, you will lead the cavalry to charge first. You will lead the cavalry to the north gate and wait for the enemy. If the enemy reinforcements arrive, send us a signal. You lead the cavalry to cover the rear. In the time it takes to make three cups of tea, if the enemy reinforcements arrive. You will lead the team to attack the port. I estimate that the morale of the soldiers in the port has reached its lowest point. Our army will definitely win this battle.”
Zhou Ang nodded his head excitedly and said,"My cavalrymen have been holding it in for a long time.”
In the third watch, there was a little light in the sky before dawn. However, it was still not very bright, and the surrounding sky was slowly filled with the chirping of birds. Our army began to march, and all the birds in the surroundings flew away.
The land was silent. Only the sound of our army's footsteps could be heard. Zhou Ang's cavalry was fast and had already begun their assault. At this moment, in the port, although the remaining disembarking troops had already disembarked. The original 10,000 troops in the port were reduced to 6,000 after our three assaults. Including the 3,000 brought by the primary school, and the 10,000 that landed. Although there were 19,000 people, their morale was low. In addition, he had been in a state of shock for the entire night, so he finally fell asleep. The soldiers guarding the east fence were all sleeping on the ground.
Suddenly, the terrifying sound of horse hooves could be heard. A sentinel who was sleeping in a daze opened his eyes and saw a terrifying scene. A group of cavalrymen rushed over. Most of the soldiers on the ground had yet to get up, and some had already been trampled to death. Just as he was about to scream, a spear had already pierced through his chest. Following behind the cavalrymen are over nine hundred sword-shield soldiers. As for the soldiers who had not been trampled to death, he raised his hand and slashed down, causing their snow-covered heads to roll to the side. Behind us are more than nine hundred spearmen, followed by five hundred personal guards. Half of them hold large swords, the other half hold spears with both hands, and the archers at the back are responsible for guarding.
Our army has officially begun to attack. As soon as we enter the port, we will kill anyone we see. The cavalrymen in front saw us enter the port. They charged out of the northern port. The two sharp-eyed soldiers saw that something was wrong. Without waiting for any instructions, he mounted his horse and quickly asked Zhou Cang for help. Under my instructions, Zhou Ang deliberately did not stop the two of them at the north gate. He led all the cavalry to guard the north gate. I led Xue Li and Chen Heng directly to Liao Hua's camp.
As for Liao Hua, he was attacked three times in one night. His left foot was injured again, and his heart was filled with panic. At night, she slept soundly. Just as she fell asleep, she heard the sound of footsteps outside. He woke up and sat up. When he stood up, he picked up the black steel grass beside him. He saw three people rush in from the entrance of the camp and look at him fiercely. Liao Hua raised his steel spear and was about to stab us. A figure flashed past, and a white steel knife was placed on his neck. "Put down the steel reeds and come out with us obediently."”Liao Hua knew that the situation was hopeless. Liao Hua walked out of the camp and shouted,"Everyone, stop fighting. Our army surrenders!" Our army surrenders! My soldiers, listen to my order and put down your weapons! Don't kill my soldiers anymore."
Even without Liao Hua's reminder, many of the soldiers who were sleeping didn't have any weapons in their hands. The remaining soldiers who had been kneeling on the ground with their hands on their heads shouted when they saw their general," They surrendered." Most of them were exhausted and surrendered obediently.
The battle went much smoother than I expected. It ended in less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. I sent someone to call back Zhou Ang's cavalry. Zhou Ang lowered his head and said gloomily,"I didn't even do anything and I won just like that.”"Bring the cavalry to reinforce General Ling Cao immediately. I'll bring my men and arrive soon." I ordered, and Zhou Ang went to receive the order.
After my father and I collected the defeated army, we returned to Liao Hua's tent. He asked someone to escort Liao Hua up. Father sat in the middle while I stood beside him. Chen Heng sat on the left and Xue Li sat on the right. "Liao Hua, are you going to surrender or not?"”
"Where are you from?" Liao Hua stood up and asked.
"My father is Lord Shi He, the salt guard. We have received orders from Lord Wang, the prefect of Wu County, to come to reinforce Moling.”I laughed loudly.
"So it's Jian 'an Salt Guard Shi He, the great benefactor. I've often heard that Jian' an Salt Guard Shi He treats the people well. Since you are Lord He's troops, you have saved my life. I am willing to surrender!" Liao Hua said excitedly.
"That's good. Let's attack Zhou Cang's troops!”His father couldn't help but remind him.
"There is no need for Milord to act. Zhou Cang has a deep relationship with me. I'm willing to say that Zhou Cang has come to surrender." Liao Hua stepped forward and said.
"Alright, I'll give you a horse. You go first!" I untied Liao Hua. Liao Hua thanked him and left.
"Son, aren't you afraid of letting the tiger return to the mountain?”His father said anxiously after Liao Hua left.
"It's okay. I don't think this person is an ungrateful person. Even if they counterattacked, Team Zhou Cang didn't have much chance of winning. First, there was no food and fodder, and second, more than 5,000 of his troops were killed or injured during the siege, leaving only 12,000 people to reinforce the port with 3,000. Moreover, the enemy's morale is low, so I only need my sword-shield soldiers to defeat them.”I shook my head and smiled.
Besides, Ling Cao was hiding in the forest. Seeing Zhou Cang's sorry state for the entire night, his heart had already blossomed with joy and he unconsciously thought,"Young General, you are indeed a god."”In the wee hours of the morning, Ling Cao reminded the cavalrymen who were taking turns to rest. Everyone, wake up. It's time for us to make a contribution. At this moment, two cavalrymen quickly rode over. As soon as he entered the camp, he shouted,"General Zhou, the enemy has entered the port. Go and rescue them!"”。
That night, Zhou Cang was already filled with anger when he heard that the rations had been burned. He was toyed with several times and only fell asleep in a daze late at night. At this moment, Zhou Cang heard the soldiers shouting outside again. He angrily picked up his broadsword and rushed out of the tent, shouting,"All soldiers, leave a thousand men to guard the camp. The rest of you, follow me!" However, the soldiers beside him had been tired for the entire night. They were not as energetic as him and began to gather in scattered groups.
Ling Cao saw two cavalrymen enter. I knew that everything was going according to plan. Ling Cao heard the drums of the Zhou Cang camp and immediately ordered the cavalrymen around him to mount their horses and attack together with him. Everyone followed Ling Cao and charged towards Zhou Cang's camp. Before the guards at the entrance of the camp could see the situation clearly, they saw 20 riders rushing in. She thought that he was here to ask for help again, so she didn't make any sound.
Furthermore, Ling Cao didn't kill anyone when he charged into the camp. Instead, he went straight for Zhou Cang. At this moment, Zhou Cang was cursing and calling for the soldiers beside him to gather quickly. When he looked up, he saw a small group of people charging over on horseback. They had yet to react. The twenty or so people pointed their guns at their heads and shouted,""Everyone, don't move." The surrounding soldiers were stunned when they saw their commander being restrained in an instant. Ling Cao pointed his gun at Zhou Cang and said," You are now my captive. I order everyone to surrender. You have no chance of winning!"”
Zhou Cang's face was filled with anger as he shouted,"I won't surrender even if you kill me."”
"Humph! You don't want everyone to die because of you, right?”Ling Cao grunted and threatened.
"There are only twenty of you. You will also be chopped into meat paste by my army.”Zhou Cang raised his head and shouted.
"Who said there were only twenty people? Aren't we human?”After Zhou Ang led his troops over, he shouted at the entrance of the camp. The soldiers at the camp gate and the ten thousand soldiers in the camp originally wanted to fight. Secondly, he had been busy all night and felt weak all over. They didn't know what to do and froze on the spot. After a period of stalemate, a soldier in the camp lost his grip and dropped his weapon. All the soldiers put down their weapons.
"What are you doing? Pick up your weapons. Don't care about my life or death. Kill everyone for me!”Zhou Cang looked at the soldiers and shouted.
"Don't do anything! Everyone, don't attack!" A man rode a horse and shouted from afar. Before he could finish his sentence, this person rode into the camp. The soldiers at the camp gate recognized him as Deputy General Liao Hua and shouted,"General Liao is here, everyone listen to him.”As expected, the soldiers bent down to pick up their weapons. "Everyone, don't move!" Liao Hua said. Big Brother Zhou, can you listen to me?"
"Why are you here? Did you lose the port?”Zhou Cang asked.
"Yes, the port has been breached.”Liao Hua lowered his head and said.
"It's okay. I still have more than 10,000 people here. I'll leave them all to you. Kill everyone here and avenge me.”After Zhou Cang finished speaking, he was about to hit the tip of the spear and commit suicide.
"Big brother, don't! I've already surrendered! You should surrender too. This time, the one who led the army is the Great Philosopher He of Jian An. "He will definitely treat us well," Liao Hua said quickly after seeing it.
"What is it? How dare you surrender? What should we do with so many brothers? You want me to surrender too? You, you…Wait a minute, are you talking about Lord Jian An He, Lord Shi He of the salt guard?”Zhou Cang roared and suddenly asked.
"That's right, it's him. If not for that, why would I surrender? Brothers, why are we rebelling? Wasn't it just so that everyone could live a better life? This Lord He was a well-known philanthropist. If we surrender to him, he will definitely treat us well. Everyone, surrender!" Liao Hua knelt down and cried as he looked at everyone.
Then, Liao Hua crawled in front of Zhou Cang and grabbed his legs, crying and begging,""Brother, surrender!"
"Hey!" Zhou Cang turned around and looked at the sleepy and exhausted soldiers around him. He sighed and threw down the saber in his hand. He lowered his head and muttered,"We surrender."
