Chapter 3011 Filled with Anger
Not only was Gao Huizhen confused as to why the failure came so quickly, but even Wang Wendu, who was directing his men to advance steadily and slowly, was dumbfounded.
Surrounded by tens of thousands of enemy troops, Xue Wanche was actually able to fight his way out? !
Mother!
These Goguryeo troops can no longer be described as a mob, they are simply a group of sheep! I would rather disobey military orders and waste time, but tens of thousands of enemy troops still couldn't surround Xue Wanche's troops. Even tens of thousands of pigs could kill Xue Wanche, right?
Simply incredible!
Immediately, Wang Wendu felt a chill rising from his spine and spreading throughout his body instantly.
If Xue Wanche doesn't die... then he will be in big trouble!
What kind of crime is it to disobey military orders and sit back and watch friendly troops fall into a tight siege without responding? It is a serious crime of decapitation...
Wang Wendu was at a loss.
Gao Huizhen saw the battle situation in front of him and knew that defeat was a foregone conclusion. How could he still dare to fight? Immediately commanded his subordinates: "Hold the rear formation and don't let the enemy's cavalry come in!"
While the soldiers were killing the Tang army's cavalry in the rear, he quickly left the battlefield with his own soldiers and ran along the river towards Daque Valley in the rear. At this time, it was no longer about considering how he would be punished after defeat, but about saving his life first.
At this time of national crisis, as an important general in the south of Goguryeo, Yeon Gaesumun must not have dared to execute him at will...
As Gao Huizhen escaped from the battlefield, the morale of the Goguryeo army collapsed instantly. Countless soldiers abandoned the Tang army who was fighting fiercely with them and fled madly behind their commander. The entire battlefield was in chaos, with people shouting, horses neighing, ghosts crying and wolves howling, and the ground was in chaos.
Xue Wanche let out a long breath, and suddenly felt a feeling of escaping. However, he still did not dare to be careless at the moment. He led his cavalry to bypass Wang Wendu's troops in front of him, and quickly returned along the edge of the battlefield towards the way he came from. .
Since the thief dared to disobey military orders and sit back and watch the cavalry being surrounded and killed by the Goguryeo army, it is very possible that in order to prevent the conspiracy from being exposed and being severely punished by military law, he and the surviving cavalry would be killed on the spot without stopping and put the blame on the Goguryeo people. of.
At present, the iron cavalry is already at the end of its strength, and there is no chance of winning against the elite infantry of our own.
Xue Wanche is not very smart, but he is definitely not a fool...
Wang Wendu saw Xue Wanche and his subordinates pointing their swords at him, full of precautions, and then quickly retreated around his troops, not even paying attention to Pao Ze, who was left on the battlefield and was seriously injured. He knew that Xue Dashou had seen through his plan. .
Resisting the urge to catch up and kill all Xue Wanche's men, Wang Wendu had no choice but to calm down and ordered: "Quickly collect the wounded, see if there are any survivors in the cavalry, and then return to the camp immediately."
"No!"
The soldiers under his command hurriedly took action, gathering and rescuing the wounded quickly. Although the enemy was defeated and retreated, they were still far superior in numbers. If they were to fight back, everyone would have to fight another bloody battle.
Soon, the wounded were gathered together, and even the armor of the fallen cavalry was recovered, and a rough statistics of the results of the battle was made.
The result made Wang Wendu depressed again...
Hundreds of armored cavalry rushed into the enemy formation, and after a life-and-death struggle, they killed more than 4,000 enemy troops, including countless colonels and officers, and then retreated calmly.
He originally wanted to use the hands of the Goguryeo army to get rid of Xue Wanche, the pioneer officer. However, not only did he fail to do so, but he also allowed Xue Wanche to make a great contribution.
The formation killed ten times the enemy, severely damaged the enemy's morale, killed 80,000 enemy troops, and thwarted the enemy's plan to support Anshi City... Isn't this enough to become a marquis in one battle?
Mother...
Wang Wendu felt a breath stuck in his heart, and almost died.
Of course, now is not the time to be depressed about these things, but to think about how to get out. Although he is backed by the Wang family in Taiyuan and is considered a direct descendant of King Jin, will Cheng Yaojin, an old thief, give King Jin a face and treat him lightly and be lenient?
Maliciously disobeying military orders, sitting back and watching Paoze fall into the enemy's lines, if we look closely at it, it would not be an exaggeration to kill him with a knife...
Does Cheng Yaojin dare to chop him? Of course I dare. Considering Cheng Yaojin's status, qualifications, and His Majesty's trust in him, what does killing a lieutenant mean? The emperor issued an edict to give some instructions, then fined him a certain amount of salary, and ordered him to sit back and think for a while.
But he thought Cheng Yaojin couldn't kill him.
He is not only the general of Zuo Wuwei, but also a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family, one of the few leading figures in the Jin Dynasty.
To kill him would be to blatantly cut off the power of King Jin in the army and blatantly hinder King Jin from competing for the throne. With Cheng Yaojin's political wisdom, how could he make such a move that was equivalent to severing himself from King Jin?
Cheng Yaojin, the old fox, was the most cunning. He would never do such stupid things as supporting the prince and succumbing to the king of Jin. It was in line with Cheng Yaojin's temperament to bet on both sides and sit back and watch.
He had already thought it over before and after, and now he went over it in his mind again, feeling that there were no omissions or mistakes. It was an accident that Xue Wanche did not die, but even if he returned safely and made things worse, Cheng Yaojin would mostly tie him up in front of His Majesty and leave him to His Majesty's judgment.
Will Your Majesty kill himself?
Maybe, but Changsun Wuji and Zhu Suiliang beside His Majesty will definitely protect it with all their strength...
After thinking about it, although this matter was somewhat troublesome because of Xue Wanche's escape, it did not have too serious consequences.
Wang Wendu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately commanded his troops to gather up, allowing the defeated Goguryeo army to flee crazily to Jindaque Valley. Instead of pursuing the victory, they quickly returned to the camp.
The matter has not yet been determined. He cannot let Xue Wanche go to Cheng Yaojin to "report the evil first", but must rush back in time to defend himself...
Hurrying slowly, we finally returned to the camp just one step behind Xue Wanche.
When they arrived near the camp gate, they did not see the military Sima who was responsible for maintaining military discipline waiting there. When he saw him, he stepped forward and shouted, "Dismount and die." Wang Wendu breathed a sigh of relief again. After calming down, he ordered his soldiers to go back to the camp to rest and treat the wounded. Then he strode towards the central military tent. Along the way, he saw a close general passing by and asked with a smile: "General Xue hasn't come back yet?"
The general looked envious and said: "I just turned around, good guy, he is covered in blood! I must have killed a lot of enemies this time. Isn't this a great achievement?"
Wang Wendu laughed and said perfunctorily: "I'm going to see the commander for his recovery. Let's talk later!"
Then he hurried towards the Chinese military tent.
When the two guards in front of the tent saw Wang Wendu, they laughed together and said, "General Wang has made a great contribution this time. I will treat my brothers to a drink later!"
Wang Wendu laughed loudly: "After returning to Beijing, there will be a dozen or twenty tables in Songhe Tower. All the brothers must support it, no one is missing! Is the commander in the tent? I will come to return my life."
< br>
The guard said: "Here you are, General Wang."
He ran forward and lifted the door curtain.
Generally speaking, the commander's personal soldiers in the army do not care about the likes and dislikes of the lieutenant, and it is even more impossible to behave like a flatterer by stepping forward to open the curtain. But the army worshiped the strong, and Wang Wendu came back with a great victory. This was a great achievement, so he expressed his respect.
Wang Wendu cupped his hand and said: "Thank you!"
Lift your feet and walk in.
Suddenly there was a sound of wind behind me, and someone shouted: "Stop!"
"Watch out!"
Wang Wendu's heart suddenly suddenly turned around, and he quickly turned around. He felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes. He subconsciously raised his hands to resist. He felt a chill coming from his raised arm, followed by a sharp and bone-piercing pain.
"Ah!"
Wang Wendu screamed, took two steps back, looked at half of his arm that fell to the ground, and then looked at Xue Wanche, who looked like a madman holding a horizontal knife, and smiled ferociously at him: "I'll kill you, you thief! ”
Wang Wendu was so distraught that he covered the wound where blood was gushing from his broken arm with one hand. He turned around and ran towards the Chinese army tent, shouting: "Stop him! Stop him!"
Xue Wanche missed with his sword and only cut off half of Wang Wendu's arm. He was still angry and wanted to kill the thief on the spot. He raised the knife and chased into the tent.
How could the guard at the door let him chase him in with a knife? He quickly stepped forward, one hugged Xue Wanche's waist, the other grabbed the weapon in his hand, and shouted: "Is Xue Prince Consort crazy? This is the Chinese army's tent, you still want to die!"
But how could they stop Xue Wanche, who was overwhelmed by anger?
The man yelled: "Let me go!" He struggled with his arms and threw away the guard who snatched the knife from his hand. Then he reached back with his left hand and grabbed the collar of the guard who was hugging his waist. With a strong force, he The guard was thrown out and fell to the ground with a bang, sending up a puff of smoke.
Then, holding a knife, he strode into the Chinese army's tent. (End of chapter)
