Final Volume Chapter 80

As the saying goes, when a tree falls, the hozens scatter; when a wall falls, everyone pushes it away. Piaotian Literature

When Xiao Ting gained power, Xiao Yuan and other princes and princesses all befriended him, and all the princes looked up to him. Now that Xiao Ting has lost power, not only Xiao Yuan and others have left him, but even the princes have united. , working against him together.

Seeing Xiao Yuan and all the princes siding with Xiao Xiang, Xiao Ting's heart felt as if someone had cut it several times. He couldn't help but shouted to Xiao Yuan opposite: "Brother Yuan, What do you mean, why do you want to side with Xiao Xiang?"

Hearing his cry, Xiao Yuan looked helpless, smiled apologetically at Xiao Xiang, and said, "Sister Xiang, don't be anxious. I'll go and persuade the king for my brother's sake."

Xiao Xiang didn't say much, just nodded with a smile.

Xiao Yuan walked a few steps toward Xiao Ting, then stood still, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ting and Hong Yuetian, shook his head and said: "Brother Wang, you went too far this time, and I was also deceived by you. It’s so painful. Now that the matter has been revealed, Brother Wang, please stop resisting in vain. For the sake of our Sichuan country, stop fighting and capture him without mercy!”

Xiao Ting might only feel angry when others say this, but when Xiao Yuan says this, Xiao Ting's teeth itch with hatred. The two of them are so familiar with each other that no one knows the other. Yes, he has sent assassins to assassinate Xiao Xiang, but Xiao Yuan has done more such things, and not just once or twice, just to provoke him. Xiao Rong's incident was also Xiao Yuan's idea. It's good now that he suddenly pretended to be a good person, as if he had nothing to do with everything and it was entirely his own doing.

"Xiao Yuan, I have always treated you well, but now that I am in trouble, you treat me like this?" Xiao Ting roared through gritted teeth.

Xiao Yuan shrugged and said: "Personal friends are personal friends, brotherly love is brotherly love, but Brother Wang's troubles in Chao Gang are really despised by us! Brother Wang, listen to my brother's advice and don't fight to the end. , it will be good for all of us if you surrender now, and Xiangmei will definitely consider her brothers and sisters and leave Brother Wang a way to live..."

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Ting couldn't help it any longer and screamed, raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Yuan angrily, and shouted sternly: "Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, I am so blind that I treated you, a shameless and duplicitous person. You mistook me for a brother who shares weal and woe. Do you think you will be in peace after I die? I tell you, Xiao Xiang will not let you go, nor will he let any of you go. Today is my day. You’ve been waiting for tomorrow!”

"Brother Wang, these words are too alarmist!" Xiao Xiang walked forward slowly, stood side by side with Xiao Yuan, looked at Xiao Ting opposite, and said: "Brother Wang has done many wrong things, why until Are you still stubborn and instigating dissension? "

Xiao Ting's facial features were distorted, his fists clenched loudly, and he shouted: "Bitch, don't be complacent, even if you die, I will never let you go."

"Alas!" Xiao Yuan shook his head repeatedly after hearing this and lamented heart-brokenly. He even rubbed his eyes and said sadly: "It seems that Brother Wang has lost his mind. I don't have anything to say. Yes." As he spoke, he turned and walked back.

Xiao Xiang smiled bitterly. All of his brothers were superb in acting. Xiao Ting was good at this, but Xiao Yuan was obviously far better than Xiao Ting. She took a deep breath and said sternly to Xiao Ting: "Brother Wang, Xiangmei can only give you half an hour. If you are willing to surrender within half an hour, we will still be brothers and sisters, and everything will be easy to discuss. If you Insisting on refusing to surrender..." Xiao Xiang paused, shook his head, and sighed: "Xiang Mei has done her best to be benevolent and righteous. Where to go, Brother Wang, choose for yourself!"

These words were spoken by Xiao Xiang sincerely. After all, the person standing opposite was her biological brother, who was connected by blood. She did not want to kill them all, let alone let the world see the joke of the Sichuan royal family's fratricide.

However, Xiao Ting did not understand her kindness, or in other words, even if Xiao Ting understood Xiao Xiang's intention, he would never surrender until he reached this point. This is the minimum dignity of a royal noble, and he would rather have dignity. Even if you die, you will not live in shame.

Xiao Ting straightened his chest and said loudly: "You don't have to wait so long. I am here. If you want to kill me, just come and chop off my head now!"

"Young Master, please don't commit suicide!" Hong Yuetian, who was standing next to him, trembled, hurriedly grabbed Xiao Ting's arm, and said in a deep voice: "Young Master, don't forget what Wei Chen said, Wei Chen swears allegiance to the Young Master to the death!"

While speaking, he pulled Xiao Ting, turned the horse's head, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Retreat!"

He dragged Xiao Ting back to the main camp of the Hong family army. After returning to the Chinese army tent, he gave Xiao Ting the commanding position in the middle. It's just that Xiao Ting is desperate now, sitting there lifeless, with his head lowered, motionless.

Hong Yuetian sighed secretly, looked around at the generals below, and told everyone the current situation in detail. Finally, he said quietly: "Now, the twelve princes and the Central Army are united to attack our army. The encirclement has been completed. Our army will be one against ten this time. It is really difficult to win. You are all old brothers who have followed me, Hong, for decades. I have fought for half a life. I don’t want all of you to be like me. In the end, we have to fight. It’s not going to be a happy ending. Everyone, please pack your things and go home. Don’t mention the word ‘Hong Jiajun’ again to avoid getting into trouble.”

After hearing this, everyone present was moved and asked one after another: "Master Marquis, what about you?"

Hong Yuetian shook his head and smiled, and said: "Xiao Xiang will let you go, but he will never let the young master and me go. I will stay in the camp and fight Xiao Xiang to the end!"

The expressions of all the generals suddenly changed, and then, someone stood up abruptly, cupped his hands and said, "The Marquis has been so kind to us, and now that the Marquis is in trouble, how can we covet our lives and live in an ignoble way?" I swear to follow the Marquis to the death, either live together or die together!"

The rest of the generals stood up in unison, stepped in and saluted, and said: "The last general is willing to live and die with the Marquis!"

Even the counselors who accompanied the army said in a trembling voice: "It is the honor of our lives to be able to take refuge with the Marquis and receive the kindness of the Marquis. Today, the Marquis is in trouble, how can we abandon the Marquis and live alone?" ? Even if I die, I will go to hell with you!"

At present, the Hong family army has to fight against the nine Central Army legions and the twelve princes with a total of millions of soldiers and horses. It can be said that this battle will be a dead end and there is no possibility of victory. However, However, no one in the Hong family army was willing to surrender at this time and chose to abandon Hong Yuetian. From this, we can see Hong Yuetian's prestige among his men and his extraordinary ability to run the army. Even if he is in a desperate situation, even if he is in desperate situation, Even knowing that they are about to die in battle, the Hong family army is still united and united. The soldiers may feel panic or fear, but they are not worried about civil strife.

It is said that the family army has strong combat power, and this is one of its manifestations. However, it is also an irreconcilable contradiction.

If the family army can be used by the court, then the Sichuan army's combat power can definitely provide one or two levels. Take the Hong family army as an example, it can completely become Sichuan's 'plain army'. As long as the strength of the two sides is not too different, it can To be invincible and invincible, but the terrible thing is that the family army often considers not the interests of Sichuan State first, but its own interests. It cannot work for the court wholeheartedly. On the contrary, its existence They would often in turn threaten the Sichuan court.

Half an hour was very short and passed by in a blink of an eye. Seeing that the soldiers in the Hong Family Army camp were fully prepared and showed no signs of surrendering, Xiao Xiang resolutely passed on the order to attack with the entire army and annihilate all resisting enemies. .

Her order not only sounded the clarion call for this war, but also kicked off the Sichuan Kingdom's plan to ban the family army.

The nine central armies, plus the family armies of the twelve princes, worked together to besiege the Hong family army. The gap in military strength between the two sides was too great, and their combat power was extremely different, but the battle was still not easy.

After the fierce battle started in full swing, the fear within the Hong family army was immediately thrown out of the sky. Up and down, the soldiers risked their lives and resisted desperately. The weapons used by the Hong family army are specially made, weird-shaped two-handed swords, which can often exert their maximum strength when struck with one sword. It can be said to be a sharp weapon to restrain metal armor. In the process of fighting between the two sides, the Central Army and the family army also There were heavy casualties.

The battle started in the morning, and by the afternoon, all four walls of the Hong Jiajun camp had been lost. The Central Army and the family coalition forces were able to rush into the camp unimpeded and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the remnants of the Hong Jiajun.

The battle at this point was expected to end soon. Unexpectedly, the remnants of the Hong Family Army were still astonishingly powerful and dragged the battle into the night.

Xiao Xiang had no intention of truce, and ordered all the troops to fight at night without giving the remnants of the Hong Family Army a chance to breathe. They must completely annihilate the Hong Family Army in one go.

The battle that entered the night can be said to be the most brutal part of the whole battle. The remnants of the Hong family army fought for the last time to trap the beasts. Although they were divided into countless pieces and surrounded by groups, no matter which piece of the remnants were eliminated, the besieged ones were still alive. Both the central army and the family coalition forces have to pay the price of multiple casualties.

When a corps is thrown in, more than half of the casualties are often lost within half an hour, so they can only be withdrawn and replaced by other corps.

When the sky gradually brightened the next morning, the battle finally came to an end. At this time, there were very few remaining soldiers of the original 150,000-strong Hong Family Army. It can be said that the Hong Family Army was almost completely wiped out, but Xiao Xiang The number of prisoners captured here was less than a thousand, and all of them were soldiers who were seriously injured and could no longer move. No one surrendered voluntarily.
