Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4235: Forgive You Not To Die
Qu Tuquan never imagined that the [-] men on his side fought to the death against the enemy's attack and did not retreat, while the [-] men on Chai Zhewei's side were defeated in one face-to-face encounter. , The wolf is rushing, but he dare not retreat half a step, otherwise the army's morale will be shaken, and the end will be the same as that of Chai Zhewei.

In this way, the enemy army chased and killed Zuo Tunwei for a period of time, and then came to the rear of their own side, turned their blades and charged towards their rear formation...

Originally, except for the equal strength of the troops, the quality of the soldiers, the morale of the troops, and the ability of the generals are all at a disadvantage. It is expected that the two armies will support each other and build a defense line to withstand the enemy's impact. He retreated, but unexpectedly, he was surrounded by heavy siege and on the verge of extinction.

Looking at the Zuo Tunwei who had been defeated in the heavy rain, Qu Tuquan gritted his teeth and wished he could dig out all the eighteen generations of the Chai family and let them see how Chai Zhewei was born. Such a cowardly and cowardly rat?

"General, Zuo Tunwei has been defeated, what should we do?"

The soldiers and lieutenants around him fought bravely while asking anxiously.

Obviously, now that they are surrounded by heavy siege, being flanked by the enemy back and forth, victory is absolutely impossible.

Qu Tuquan gritted his teeth, his heart froze, and he roared with red eyes: "We are ordered by the emperor to stop the rebel army. How can we collapse without a fight and surrender? The new emperor ascends the throne, and the beginning of the universe is up to us." The blood of the loyal people will pour the cornerstone of your Majesty's grand plan and hegemony! All the kings will fight to the death with me, even if you die in battle, it will weigh more than Mount Tai!"

After saying that, he should slap his horse and wield his sword first, and charge towards the densely packed enemy army that is gathering more and more.

The soldiers and lieutenants around him hurriedly followed, fighting bravely without fear of death.They understood what Qu Tuquan meant. They escaped at this moment, and the whole army was in chaos. How can His Majesty forgive the crown of dust and damage His Majesty's prestige, no matter how kind?
The sixth rate of the Eastern Palace is the prince's own army. Now that the prince ascends the throne, they, the eagle dogs, will repay with a big defeat?

On the contrary, if one dies in a fierce battle here, under the backdrop of Zuo Tunwei's imminent collapse, it will naturally make the spirit of Donggong Liu rate's unrelenting fight to the death, magnificent and magnificent. As long as he finally wins the battle for imperial power, it will be considered meritorious deeds Rewards, even the most ordinary soldiers will receive generous rewards.

Serving as a soldier and going through life and death in battle, isn't that a military merit?
As long as you have military merits, you can enshrine your wife and children, and reduce your tax burden, even if you die, you will die well.

These personal soldiers and school lieutenants burst out with extremely powerful and brave spirit in an instant, and while following Qu Tuquan to charge to the death, they infected the surrounding soldiers.Soldiers are a group of courage, and some people are timid and retreat, which will lead to unstable morale and low morale. If the atmosphere of fearlessness permeates, everyone will regard death as home.

Under the heavy rain, instead of collapsing like Zuo Tunwei, the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace, which was surrounded by heavy rain, rushed from left to right under the leadership of Qu Tuquan, launching decisive charges time and time again, killing the superior force of Youhouwei. Back again and again, casualties increased greatly.

Chased and killed Chai Zhewei for more than ten miles, but it was a pity that Chai Zhewei ran away without even turning his head. Fields and foothills fled in all directions, like sheep being chased by wild wolves.

Looking back, Yuchi Gongyue returned with his horse in his hand, and he was surprised to see that Donggong Liushi, who was like a flat boat in the vast ocean, was struggling to hold on without being defeated.

Especially when he saw Qu Tuquan's brave appearance of slapping his horse and wielding a knife, he couldn't help admiring from the bottom of his heart. He took out his long bow again, and stared at Qu Tuquan who was covered in blood in the crowd with the bow and arrow. He aimed for a long time, and then suddenly put down the bow and arrow.

Originally, he wanted to shoot Qu Tuquan and end the encounter quickly, but he changed his mind.

He ordered in a deep voice: "Capture Qu Tuquan alive!"

"Here!"

The left and right personal soldiers and school captains promised loudly, and then quickly conveyed the order to all ministries, so a chaotic scene appeared on the battlefield. , The horses under his crotch have already been stained red with blood, and the rain can't wash it away, but every time he rushes forward, the enemy troops quickly retreat and do not confront them head-on, and the arrows shot by the crossbowmen in the rear also avoid him... …

But seeing a young general on the battlefield rushing from left to right and killing him as if he had entered the land of no one, he was full of heroism and invincible, just like the resurrection of Wen Hou and the rebirth of Xiang Yu.

But at this moment, Qu Tuquan himself was not in the mood to enjoy this "invincible" state, but secretly complained.

He also heard the enemy's order to "capture alive", so he understood why he didn't even have a cold arrow around him, but the number of soldiers, lieutenants, and soldiers around him began to decrease gradually. The enemy army had formed a large circle, relying on superior forces Surround him in the middle, let him fight bravely, but it is like a huge millstone, crushing the surrounding soldiers bit by bit.

There is no doubt that if the situation continues to develop, he will only be left as a polished general in the end...

This kind of powerless aggrievedness made him extremely uncomfortable. He forced an enemy captain back with a knife, and suddenly he stopped his horse, raised his voice, and shouted: "Yu Chigong, how dare you fight me?" ?”

The soldiers behind him also stopped charging.

Yuchi Gong came slowly from a distance with his horse in his hand, and the horse waved to the sides, and the guards of the right marquis retreated, until they retreated more than ten feet away, forming a huge circle, encircling Qu Tuquan .

Only then did Qu Tuquan have the time to look back, and saw that there were only less than a thousand soldiers left among the five thousand soldiers, and all of them were wounded and covered with wounds, and many of them had to rely on the support of their robes to keep them from falling behind, so his mood was gloomy.

Trying to cheer up, looking at Yu Chigong who came leisurely in front of the two armies, he gritted his teeth and shouted again: "Yu Chigong, do you dare to fight me?"

Yuchi Gong rode his horse and stood in front of the formation, patted his boots lightly with the horse in his hand, shook his head and said: "The defeated general will only be destroyed in an instant, so what qualifications do you have to challenge this old man? Quickly dismount and surrender, this old man reads For the sake of friendship with your father, I will definitely not treat you harshly, and even bring back these soldiers under your command."

He had a chance to shoot Qu Tuquan, but he gave up at the critical moment.

Just because he came to understand by chance, even if King Jin succeeded in winning the throne, could Yu Chigong really be able to be inferior to one person and surpass tens of thousands?The way of kingship lies in balance. At that time, Yu Chigong will dominate the military with his achievements in Conglong, and no one can compare with him. This will inevitably make King Jin support other forces to check and balance.

The best support objects are naturally those second-generation children of Zhenguan Xunchen.

After all, the struggle for imperial power is an internal struggle and housework of the royal family. It is not about the emperor of the dynasty, let alone life and death. For the courtiers, it is nothing more than standing in line.Even if you stand in the wrong team, you don't have to kill them all. Even if the new emperor can be as broad-minded as the sea, and smile away all grievances, which courtier wouldn't immediately change his family and swear allegiance?
Rather than waiting until then to compete with a group of arrogant and domineering second-generation people who have suddenly ascended to high positions, it is better to give Cheng Chubi, Li Siwen, Qu Tuquan and other second-generation leaders some time to wait, and take the opportunity to take over the good Therefore, the future struggle will be bound within the scope of "struggling for power without fighting spirit".

In the final analysis, he, Yu Chigong, is almost sixty years old, how many years can he live?None of the heirs in the family are successful, if they take on the feud with these second generations today, these boys will certainly have nothing to do with him, but after his death, won't Yu Chigong's descendants become punching bags?

Besides, as he said just now, whether Cheng Chubi, Li Siwen, or even Qu Tuquan in front of him, the fathers of these people have fought side by side with him for many years, even if their friendship is deep or shallow, how dare they treat them as enemies Such a brutal killing?
Qu Tuquan was sitting on horseback, holding the horizontal knife tightly in his hand, with a ferocious face, hesitating.

With his heart, there is absolutely no reason to surrender in order to survive, but if he fights to the death, he will implicate the soldiers around him and follow him to the death, which makes him feel unbearable...

Seeing the change in his expression, Yu Chigong knew that his heart was moved, and continued: "Right now you are surrounded, not only is there no possibility of escaping, but it is also impossible to continue to slow down the speed of the old man's advance. As long as the old man gives an order, you will return. How long can you persist? A cup of tea? Nephew, put down your weapons and capture him without a fight, don’t test the old man’s patience.”

Qu Tuquan finally made a decision, threw the horizontal knife in his hand violently on the ground, splashing a cloud of muddy water, then got off his horse and knelt down on one knee.

"General! No!"

"How can a real man bow his knees and try to survive? We are willing to fight with the general to the death!"

The soldiers of the left and right did not rejoice when they saw that he surrendered and saved everyone's life, but they gathered around one by one, with red eyes and angry voices asking for a fight, they would rather fight to the death than surrender for their lives.

"Shut up!"

Qu Tuquan yelled angrily, knelt on one knee on the ground trembling all over, his tightly pursed lips were bitten, his eyes were red, he stared at the soldiers and school lieutenants around him, and said word by word: "Today's defeat , It is all my fault, you are ordered to disarm, there is no fault at all! How dare you disobey the military order? Disarm! Surrender!"

"General!"

The soldiers knew that Qu Tuquan was always tough, if they hadn't taken their lives into consideration, how could they have surrendered before the battle?And take all the responsibilities in one body, so that they won't be held accountable even if they lose the battle...

How can such a general not be loved?

Qu Tuquan slammed his palm on the ground in front of him, splashing a puddle of muddy water, and shouted loudly: "Disarm! Surrender!"

"Woooo..."

Seeing him so furious, the soldiers and generals did not dare to speak anymore, weeping one by one, shed tears of humiliation, and threw their weapons under their feet one after another.

Only then did the Youhou guards rush forward and escort the prisoners to disperse to avoid accidents.

Yu Chigong sat on the horse, looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help nodding his head repeatedly. As a master general, he was able to unite the soldiers under his command tightly around him, following him forever and ever, and he already had the shadow of a famous general.

This reminded him suddenly that all the young people who followed Fang Jun would be exceptional. Did these people have excellent qualities in the first place, or did they become so outstanding because of Fang Jun's subtle influence?
