Chapter 151 Luxurious Death
Chapter 151 Luxury Death
After three days of heavy rain, the water on the ground in the canyon could cover its ankles, so the Sui army soldiers had to station the mountainsides on both sides. Fortunately, for the Sui army soldiers, although it had been raining for three consecutive days, there was no trace of dry gauze on their bodies, even so, it was much better than using swords and weapons to fight. For those soldiers who were mostly new recruits, the battle three days ago was too cruel, and they were still a little scared.
On the hillside to the north, the officers and soldiers of the First Division camped here. Although there was a camp account, everyone was wet. There was no way. The Liao people were trapped for three days and refused to surrender. The general was unwilling to sacrifice any more, so he simply ordered to continue to surround them, intending to surround them to death.
The soldiers of the Sui army were also divided into several teams, taking turns to besiege the Liao soldiers to prevent them from breaking through. In the past three days, the Liao people had already broken through dozens of times. In addition to the nearly successful breakthrough on the first night, the dozens of breakthroughs later were just the entire circle of solid fences built by the Sui army, and the bodies were left behind in front of the Lujiao Mogou.
Cui Erzhu, the platoon leader of the second platoon of the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the First Regiment of the First Division, was naked, holding a rifle and wearing soaked clothes, hanging in the account.
"Damn, when I become the battalion commander, I must bring more clothes every time I fight. The weather is like a collapse, and the heavy rain will never end. I'm so cold, but I'm so cold. Is there any dry firewood? Let's make a fire to bake it."
Deputy platoon leader Zhang Youcai was also naked, holding his arms, holding a branch in his mouth, and humming something. When he heard Cui Erzhu's words, he hurriedly said, "It's been three days since the heavy rain, so there's no firewood, and there's not even drying clothes. The truth is that I've only been out for five days, and I'm thinking about the city. You said, I've been away from my hometown for almost a year, and I don't think much about homework. Why did I think about it after leaving Liaodong City for a few days?"
The first squad leader Kong Sancai and Cui Erzhu were old men in the Pojun camp. At this time, he sat aside and laughed at Zhang Youcai and said, "I think you don't think of Liaodong City, you are thinking of the Goguryeo girls in the east of the city, right? To be honest, it's really good. Unfortunately, the general has a military order. Each soldier can only go once a week, and the lieutenant-level officer can go twice a week. Damn, I'm just a sergeant, and I can only go once a week, but it's just once. It's really unforgettable and endless aftertaste."
The group of people in the tent burst into laughter, and everyone laughed meaningfully. A man understands the meaning of everyone's laughter.
Zhang Youcai chuckled twice, "These girls are really good, each of them is under thirty years old. The one I looked for last time was still wrinkled. Damn, I was so excited at that time. If it weren't for the girl being a Goguryeo, I might have planned to bring him out. When I left, I even gave her a golden hairpin. I agreed to go again in a few days, but now it's time, but I'm still wet in the rain in this mountain valley."
Cui Erzhu also laughed a few times, "You bastards, just let it go, you don't have any other ideas. These are all Liao people. The generals broke the city and killed their men, and turned them into camp prostitutes. Don't be fascinated by those women in just a few tricks. If you have money, save it up. When you return to the Central Plains, it would be great that the innocent girl would marry a wife."
Kong Sancai smiled, "Platform leader, you have never paid for the feeling of a woman. You really should go. Anyway, everyone has received a lot of rewards, so you can only use a few small money to open the meat, and you can't waste a few. This is also considered to be a show of power for the Great Sui Dynasty!"
Cui Erzhu shook his head, "You guys, if you have time, practice martial arts more and learn some military tactics. I didn't see the defeat of the Fifth Division so badly this time. I heard that General Liu Tiezhu had planned to commit suicide to apologize. In the end, the general scolded him fiercely, saying that he was giving him a chance to train the Fifth Division well and take revenge in the future."
When I heard about the Fifth Division, the group could not laugh.
"I heard that more than half of the Fifth Division died?"
Cui Erzhu rubbed his hands and said, "We don't know the specifics, but when I heard our battalion commander chat with the deputy battalion commanders, it seemed that more than 3,000 people were missing at the beginning. Later, many people who ran away returned to the team, but in the end, more than 2,000 people were killed, more than 800 people were seriously injured, and thousands were relaxed. A regiment commander, a deputy regiment commander, three battalion commanders died, and more than 20 lieutenant-level officers died. Two dough flags and seven battalion flags were lost."
The soldiers in the tent all shouted, and were shocked by the number of casualties. The regiment commander was killed. You can imagine how miserable the Fifth Division was.
"It's better for us generals. Otherwise, if ordinary generals are defeated so badly, they will definitely be beheaded to the regular military law. The Fifth Division is so miserable, half of the casualties will you not revoke their numbers? Just like the Heavy Infantry Brigade and the Heavy Cavalry Brigade?"
"It shouldn't be. After all, the general did not punish General Liu Tiezhu. He asked him to step up the training of the Fifth Division, so he would definitely not revoke the number. I heard that the people from the Heavy Cavalry Brigade and the Heavy Infantry Brigade fought very beautifully. The general praised them very much in the military discussion. Maybe this time, the general will restore the number of their two troops."
Kong Sancai hurriedly asked, "Platform Commander, do you know the casualties of other troops?"
Cui Erzhu sighed a few times, as if he was regretful, and sighed, "There are many casualties in this battle. I heard that there were more than 4,000 soldiers killed in the battle this time, and more than 3,000 seriously injured. Most of them would not survive. Even if they could save a life, they would be disabled. These Liao people are really fierce. We ambushed them from afar, and there were such great casualties. However, I heard that there were also many Liao people who died. It seems that more than 13,000 people were killed by us. The Liao people trapped in the mountain these days rushed more than ten times, and more than 3,000 people died in front and behind. Now, more than 43,000 Liao people have been captured, more than 16,000 people have been killed in battle, and there are still 20,000 people on the mountain."
Zhang Youcai cursed his mother a few times, "These Liao people, who have killed so many of our compatriots, would it be best that the general would kill them all by then, and not leave any one. Three days later, these dogs were surrounded on the mountain, without food or drink, and were still wet by the rain, so I could really bear it. How many days will these people be so hungry that they can't get up?"
"I guess I'm not giving up. It's been three days. I guess these people are already killing horses and eating meat. No matter what, they can't fly out."
Just as he said, they survived until the fifth day. Although the Liao people later tried to break through and attacked several times, these people had no chance of making the fortifications built by the brothers of the engineering battalion.
The heavy rain lasted for three and a half days, and finally stopped on the afternoon of the fourth day.
On the fifth day, early in the morning, a red sun finally jumped out of the east. All the soldiers were very happy. The rain for several consecutive days really made everyone collapse.
Early in the morning, Chen Kefu also ordered an elite group of troops, led a group of soldiers from the engineering battalion, and pulled hundreds of catapults and crossbow beds, preparing to visit the three Liao troops who were kings of the mountain and refused to come down again. If they were willing to surrender, they could still survive. If they were not polite, Chen Kefu would not have the patience to waste their time with them. If it hadn't been raining heavily these days, catapults and crossbow beds were not conducive to operation, Chen Kefu would have cleaned them one by one.
The first thing Chen Kefu brought his men to the west was the west, where there were only two thousand cavalrymen from the Pure Land of Abyss, which could be said to be the weakest. Since we had to start, of course we had to pick the soft ones first.
Shen Guang walked to the hillside and shouted loudly, "The Abyss Pure Land on the Mountain, our army commander will give you a chance. If you present the flag and surrender now, our commander can spare you all the death!"
Standing at the foot of the mountain, you can clearly see that on the hillside, a general in gorgeous armor stood under a military flag, and behind him stood a large group of people in a crooked manner. Many of them could not even stand, and they were completely half lying there. They were surrounded by three days of heavy rain, quenching thirst with rain and filling their hunger with raw horse meat for five days. It is a miracle that there are so many people living here.
"I am the elder of the eastern part of the kingdom. I am the second son of Lu Yuanziyou. How can I surrender to you and other sinister Sui people? If you want to fight, you will be spared if you persuade them to surrender!"
Shen Guang was waiting for further persuasion, and Chen Kefu raised his hand to stop him, "Fate catapult car, crossbow bed, archers prepare, tens of thousands of arrows are fired at once, I will give them a luxurious way of death!"
As soon as Chen Kefu's words fell, the engineering battalion that had been prepared and tens of thousands of infantry holding bows and arrows were all bent their bows and pulled their strings, and they shot them with arrows. On August 16, the lord of the eastern part of Goguryeo, the second son of Lu Di, and the former commander of the Northeast Allied Forces, was killed in battle. The 5,000 cavalry of his troops went through five days of battle, but in the end, none of them were spared and all died.
This was the first senior general that Chen Kefu had killed since the attack on Liao. Although he had captured Gao Qi, the king of Xincheng, in Xincheng, before, the guy was afraid of death and surrendered. Later, he defeated Wende of Yizhi, but that time he just rushed forward. Although he killed Jin Dalai, the number one warrior of Goguryeo, that guy was only a civilian and had a low status. Not long ago, he broke into Liaodong City, but unfortunately he only killed Gao Ming, a general of Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, and Gao Jianwu escaped.
