Chapter 402: The Champion Who Worth 50,000
Pan Mei and hundreds of subordinates protected Ye Hua from the military camp and met with 500 cavalry guards. The two sides had less than a thousand people in total. It can be said that they were single and the situation was critical.
According to Tang Niu's idea, protecting the safety of the Marquis is the first priority, and you should immediately withdraw to a safe place.
"If we leave, it would be like handing over the 30,000 troops to Liu Jichong. What are we doing when we head from Jinyang?"
Ye Hua's questioning left Tang Niu speechless and could only lower his head.
"General Pan, you have been in Luzhou for a while. How could Liu Jichong launch a mutiny? Do you know what he has to rely on?"
Pan Mei is very clever. The Marquis wants to know himself and his enemy, and he will never be defeated in a hundred battles... What is so great about Liu Jichong?
"Mr. Marquis, Liu, is usually humble and low-key, loyal to Li Yun, and even claims to be a dog of others. Many brothers in the army look down on him... However, this person also has some unusual features, and he likes to worship Buddha!"
"Worship the Buddha?" Ye Hua said in confusion: "What are he, a general, who is the leader of the army, worship Buddha? Besides, His Majesty has issued an order and is not allowed to recite scriptures and worship Buddha in the army. How dare he violate the will? Does Li Yun ignore it?"
"Marty, Liu Jichong has been like this for many years. I heard that his father was fifty and had no son yet. His mother went to the temple and tied him up to a doll, so he had no money to build a temple and shape a golden body over the years... Of course, Li Shuai knew about this, but he was not restrained. Instead, he said that Liu Jichong did not forget his foundation and was a rare good person to repay his kindness!"
Pan Mei couldn't help but sneer, "I'm afraid he wouldn't have thought that such a good person would kill him!"
Ye Hua frowned slightly. He felt that the long-term worship of Buddha was closely related to Liu Jichong's rebellion. Chai Rong pursued the policy of destroying Buddha, and many people in the court were dissatisfied. It was even more difficult to say about the army, especially the local garrisons.
"General Pan, are there many people around Liu Jichong who believe in Buddhism?"
"Well, but I heard that the Marquis said something about Manichaeism in private is not an orthodox Buddhist religion!"
"oh!"
Ye Huann felt even worse!
Manichi was spread to the Central Plains very early. During the Tang Dynasty, it was once very prosperous. However, after Emperor Wuzong of Tang destroyed Buddhism, Manichi suffered a heavy blow, and even retreated to the Western Regions for a while, and later spread to the Central Plains... However, at this time, Manichi had already put a great force under the table.
By the time of the Song Dynasty, the Manichaeism simply launched an uprising and rebelled against the court. It was mixed with the later Maitreya and White Lotus Cult, and became a professional traitor, which continued and left endless disasters.
If Liu Jichong had a relationship with Manichaeism, then this rebellion would be extraordinary.
"We don't have much time, we must come up with a strategy as soon as possible!"
Ye Hua looked at Pan Mei and Tang Niu with a very solemn expression, as gloomy as water.
Pan Mei lowered her head and quickly thought... First of all, Liu Jichong's power was not weak, and she suddenly attacked, for fear that the entire Zhaoyi army would fall into his control. Fighting hard with him would be equivalent to hitting the stone with an egg and seeking death.
But from another perspective, even if Liu Jichong had some confidant minions, he might not be able to control everyone. Li Yun's subordinates and the power of loyalty to the court, these people would not be willing to obey him. If he launches a decisive attack, there might be a chance!
"Marty, the last general wants to ask for an order to kill Liu Jichong and shoot him back!" Pan Mei said seriously: "I don't believe that the army is full of Liu Jichong's people, and maybe it can be saved. I can't watch the entire army fall into his hands!"
A general must not only have vision, but also have courage.
Obviously, Pan Mei is not short of it.
"Very good, let the brothers prepare immediately and attack immediately!"
Ye Hua issued an order, and the five hundred cavalry guards immediately put on their armor, flew on their horses, and lifted up their spears.
Pan Mei was frightened, "Marty, the last general is enough. The Martyr will stay and dispatch troops. The overall situation depends on the Martyr to support him. It is not worth mercy to die. The Martyr must not make any mistakes!" Pan Mei was particularly determined, and even grabbed Ye Hua's reins and never let Ye Hua take risks with him.
"Hahaha, General Pan, you underestimate me, right? Can't I be the only one who dares to charge in front of the battle?"
Pan Mei shook her head vigorously, "No one dares to underestimate the Marquis, but now Liu Jichong has tens of thousands of people under his command, and we are less than a thousand people. It's really a huge gap. Marquis, please think twice!"
Ye Hua shook his head. If he were to be in normal times, he might not take risks, but the problem is that Liu Jichong not only led the Manichi religion, but also led the Northern Han Dynasty and the safety of the Yellow River... If they were allowed to join forces and dig the Yellow River, millions of creatures and countless people would turn into fish and turtles, who could bear it!
"General Pan, I have already thought about it. We must fight for everything!"
"Mr. Marquis!" Pan Mei was still unwilling to let go. He could die, but the champion Marquis could not. You are the war god of the Great Zhou!
...
At the time of stalemate, a team of cavalry rushed over. Their number was less than 300. They rushed to Ye Hua at a speed of lightning. The person in charge was Fu Zhaoxin.
"Champion Hou Yehua received the order, Your Majesty gave the Emperor the Sword, and Jun'er's power to be arbitrary!"
Ye Hua immediately stretched out his hand and held the Emperor's Sword with both hands.
His hands couldn't help but tremble.
Ye Hua had thought of many situations, and the best of them was Chai Rong's tacit consent to his behavior... In any case, he could not have thought that Chai Rong would actually give him a sword and entrust all the major events to him!
Ye Hua turned around suddenly and bowed to the direction of Jinyang.
"I will definitely live up to the emperor's trust! Please rest assured to my emperor!"
After turning around, Ye Hua changed his face and raised the Emperor's Sword high.
"All soldiers obey orders!"
Pan Mei, Tang Niu, and Fu Zhaoxin, clasped their fists together.
Pan Mei’s hundreds of people, five hundred cavalry guards, and three hundred Fu Zhaoxin, and just over one thousand. Ye Hua’s command of the army in recent years is probably the most shabby time.
"We have 30,000 opponents, perhaps Manichaeism, and Northern Han soldiers and horses. They are dozens of times more than ours! Do you have the courage to fight?"
"have!"
The three people spoke in unison, and all the soldiers yelled.
“We have confidence!”
"As long as we follow the Marquis, we will definitely win!"
...
Trust is really blind. The three words "Champion Hou" are full of magic for many young soldiers. They became famous at a young age, killed the Khitan emperor twice, defeated the Southern Tang Dynasty, and restored Youzhou. Since their debut, they have won every battle!
Don’t worry about the gap in force dozens of times, even hundreds of times, they can win!
Even old birds like Fu Zhaoxin were very angry and shouted with everyone.
What else can Ye Hua say, only to do his best!
"General Pan, Liu Jichong doesn't know that we are here yet. You will lead 500 troops and attack head-on. General Fu and I will protrude from the left and right, attack the two wings, and we will defeat Liu Jichong together!"
"clear!"
Pan Mei nodded immediately without hesitation.
Finally, we can fight side by side with champion Hou again.
Pan Mei felt her blood was boiling all over her body. The last time she quelled the rebellion, everyone was working together for the first time, and she didn't feel much. This time she finally realized her long-cherished wish.
"drive!"
Pan Mei held up the 18-pound big knife and took the lead in charge, killing back to the Zhangshui camp like a whirlwind.
As he got closer and closer to the Zhangshui camp, thousands of Luzhou soldiers appeared in front of him, with dense teams, one by one showing off his might and showing off his power. He was very proud... I have never seen such a stupid person. He had obviously run away and came back to die, so we will fulfill your wish!
"Kill, kill Pan Mei, the general will be rewarded!"
These people shouted wildly, rushing towards Pan Mei like a tide.
Facing his former comrade-in-arms, Pan Mei was not polite at all. He leaned on the horse's back and whispered to the ear of the jujube horse. The jujube horse suddenly neighed with excitement, and then ran around with four hooves, and suddenly faster.
The person on the opposite side shot dense arrows at Pan Mei, and the armor was constantly shot. Even if it was not penetrated, it was still astonishing.
Especially Pan Mei is wearing armor, so there is no need to ask, her skin must be blue-purple and black.
Pan Mei seemed to have not noticed it. His eyes were just staring ahead. When there were heavy weapons such as javelins, flying axes, or meteor hammers, Pan Mei would twist her body slightly to avoid the deadly attack.
The brother behind him was already injured and his head was broken. The war horse was still running, dragging the corpse, leaving behind a shocking blood red...
Finally, Pan Mei rushed to the other party.
"kill!"
The heavy machete slashed from below. The person opposite was Liu Jichong's Ma Zhi's personal army, a very brave guy, who also raised his knife to chop Pan Mei.
But the speed was just a little bit worse. Pan Mei's knife cut her weakness, split her belly, and cut her arms upwards... She was so alive, and in an instant she turned into two corpses.
The person behind was a little stunned, and Pan Mei's big sword arrived.
Bang!
The blade slashed on the shield, and the knight could not bear the huge force and fell down from the horse's back, bleeding blood. His forearm bones and ribs had been smashed by the shield, his chest was shrunk, and his mouth was sprayed with blood, and he was almost unable to survive.
The knife in Pan Mei's hand turned into a terrifying hammer. No one could withstand the power of a blow. He had several times the force of his troops, but he could not stop Pan Mei's advance.
"Those who block me will die!"
Pan Mei mustered up the courage, the red horse stretched out its big mouth and bit it hard at the head of the horse in front of her. The subordinates behind her were greatly encouraged. Could it be that they could not even match the war horses!
The big guy charged forward with all his might and killed him like he was desperate.
As for the rebels on the opposite side, they inevitably retreated when they found that Pan Mei was not easy to deal with... They had not made any adjustments yet, and they had to bear the price from officers and soldiers to rioters.
As I said, it’s no longer the chaotic times that were a few years ago!
Pan Mei rushed through the dense crowd and wiped the blood from her face with her hands... At this time, the sky had dimmed, and suddenly, a shocking shout of killing came from both sides of the Zhangshui Camp.
Pan Mei grinned, "Champion Hou is here, Champion Hou is here to quell the rebellion!"
Champion Hou is here!
Chapter completed!
