Chapter 747: Zhao Hong's counterattack
Under the city of Jingzhou.
The 700,000 troops of the Yan court came to the city.
Zhao Hong is only 300,000 soldiers and horses, backed by Jingzhou.
Zhao Hong's helmet and armor, Huang Erniu, Bei Mingzheng and others followed.
Leading the Great Yan Army is the newly appointed envoy of the Northern Fifth Road of the Imperial Court, named Wei Yan, the word Kuiyang, is the descendant of Zhao Ting, these 700,000 troops are all cultivated by Wei Yan, and the officers among them are mixed with many Demon Sect disciples, which only Zhao Ting knows best, so that Zhao Hong can pick out the latent Demon Sect disciples from the middle It is difficult to climb to the sky.
"The traitor Zhao Hong, traitor and collaborator, is not quick to surrender!" Wei Yan is more than nine feet tall, with a resolute face, a thin beard, and good use of the Zhangba snake spear, which is in his peak state.
Zhao Hong scolded: "Wei Yan! Don't you know that Zhao Ting killed his father and seized power! He actually led troops to encircle and suppress me, and he didn't know my identity?"
Wei Yan laughed: "Zhao Hong, are you still the crown prince? Your Majesty has already announced your crimes to the world and taken away your identity, you are now just the leader of the rebellious army, and everyone will be punished." ”
Wei Yan and Zhao Hong both used internal force, the voice came from afar, the millions of lions present heard it clearly, the soldiers had no expression, both sides claimed to be the orthodox successor of Great Yan, and they were both descendants of the royal family, and they were indeed upright and young. I don't know how to judge the statements of the main generals of both sides.
Zhao Hong knows very well that he can't be defeated, if he loses the first battle, his generals will inevitably scatter and flee, or throw themselves into the local camp, after all, the Yan army sent by Zhao Ting also has legitimacy, if Zhao Hong's team rebels, it is not considered a defection, it can only be said that he recognized the truth and knew who was the true son of the Zhao family, anyway, they all worked for the Zhao family, which surname Zhao was different?
Huang Erniu urged the horse out of the team: "Your Highness, the last general will go and pick the opponent's main general." ”
Zhao Hong said: "General Huang Chao, Wei Yan is a famous fierce general in the army, you must remember to be careful." ”
Huang Erniu understands Zhao Hong's situation, the first battle is extremely important, the two sides have a huge disparity in strength, if they go to war by themselves, they can't succeed in the first battle, they will inevitably lose morale and lead to a defeat.
"Your Highness, rest assured. Huang Erniu's face was full of anger, urging the horse to leave the team, single-handedly, and went straight to Wei Yan. Wei Yan naturally knew that Huang Erniu's martial arts were strong, and shouted: "The one on the opposite side is Huang Chao, the general of the rebel army, who is willing to step forward and kill the enemy?"
Wei Yan's voice fell, and several fierce generals immediately came out of the team: "General, we are willing to go into battle to kill the enemy." ”
Wei Yan laughed: "Okay, you guys are so bold. ”
"General, please order. ”
Wei Yan looked at Huang Erniu, who had already rushed halfway, and said, "The other party only comes with one person and one ride, we can't fall into the majesty, you guys are on it together!"
Several generals looked at each other, quite embarrassed, and the first military general with a big waist and a round waist said in an urn: "General, to deal with that kind of small night, the last general is enough!"
Wei Yan looked at the iron tower-like cloth and said, "Okay! I wish you success!"
"Yes!"
The fat general urged the war horse, the war horse roared, but the general's body was too heavy, almost caught up with the weight of the war horse, the war horse ran forward with difficulty, the speed was a lot slower than Huang Erniu, only ran out of a quarter of the distance, and caught up with Huang Erniu, the fat general shouted: "Comer,"
Huang Erniu's eyes were cold, a shot stabbed, pierced from the fat general's middle acupoint, penetrated three layers of armor, and came out through the body, but only a breath time before and after, Huang Erniu's arms were forceful, and the general was picked up, the fat general's mount suddenly felt relaxed, and ran happily, Huang Erniu sat down on the war horse and used four legs hard.
Wei Yan was still waiting to evaluate the battle between his favorite general and Huang Erniu, but unexpectedly, the winner was instantly decided.
"Avenge my brother!" another general under Wei Yan's tent urged the horse out.
Wei Yan shouted from behind: "Come back! You can't fight a fat man yet!"
"General, Hugh wants to destroy his own prestige and grow the morale of others, ah!"
In one round, Huang Erniu speared the enemy general, and the bodies of the two generals were hung on a spear, and he sat down on the war horse and circled in place, Huang Erniu was full of anger and looked at Wei Yan with a sneer. Zhao Hong decided to be comfortable all over her body, and her waist was straight on the horse, and the north was radiant and the east was radiant.
"Up!"
"Beat him!"
Wei Yanfang ran out of two fierce generals together and pounced on Huang Erniu.
It's a pity that Huang Erniu is a master who can kill Mobei Shuangxia with one shot as soon as he enters Kyushu, not to mention that after coming to Kyushu, he has practiced diligently, both inside and outside, and his martial arts have reached a higher level. The most fatal thing is that when Huang Erniu was cultivating in Cangyun's body, he was facing the constant impact of thousands of troops, and he had long been accustomed to facing the entire army with the strength of one person. When Huang Erniu faced Wei Yan's army, a trace of warmth and memory rose in his heart, as if he had returned to the happy time when he was cultivating in Cangyun's body.
Of course, it was not a happy memory, so Huang Erniu was ready to kill more people and pay tribute to those lost times.
Without throwing off the corpses on the spear, Huang Erniu danced the spear, and in less than three rounds, four corpses hung on the spear. The sitting war horse could not withstand the body of five fully armed generals, Huang Erniu jumped off the horse, held a gun with one arm, and gently patted the horse's butt with the other hand, allowing the war horse to return to the team.
A military general, a spear, with four local generals hanging on it, stood in the center of the battlefield.
Zhao Hongjun's heart was greatly shaken, and the soldiers and horses shouted in unison.
Wei Yan's army of 700,000 involuntarily took a few steps back.
"The army's heart must not be disturbed!" Wei Yan grabbed the silk reins: "Let the general go out in person!"
"The general can't, we will definitely take the enemy general!"
Wei Yan's three fierce generals urged the horse out, Wei Yan couldn't stop it, he could only hope that the four generals hanging on Huang Erniu's gun would have a spirit in the sky, so that Huang Erniu's gun would be slower, slower, after all, there were four majestic men on it, and the weight was extremely heavy.
Heaven disappointed Wei Yan.
When Huang Erniu picked up the corpses of seven generals and walked towards Wei Yan's army step by step, Wei Yan forgot to give the order, forgot to let the archers release their arrows, and forgot to organize the offensive formation.
Huang Erniu flicked his spear, and the seven corpses scattered towards Wei Yan's army, and the army phalanx panicked, dodging the falling corpses, and letting the corpses of several generals fall straight to the ground, smashing up a few pieces of dust.
The yellow sand was flying, and the stunned expressions of the seven generals still remained on their cold and pale faces, and they did not bat at each other, as if they were looking at the sky, and as if they were looking at the onlookers.
Wei Yan's army looked at Huang Erniu with a wooden expression, Huang Erniu's blood-stained spear, cloak flying, and walked towards Wei Yan step by step. Wei Yan's 700,000 army was silent, all shocked by Huang Erniu's murderous aura.
Zhao Hong raised his spear: "Our soldiers, kill the enemy with General Huang Chao!"
The war drums under the city of Jingzhou were beating, the horns were repeated, Zhao Hong's 300,000 soldiers and horses shouted in unison, and the generals were like chicken blood, only when Wei Yan brought a group of old and weak women and children, they screamed and began to charge. Wei Yan swallowed his saliva and forcibly raised his blade: "Kill!"
Morale is very important in large-scale cold weapon operations, so Wei Yan was defeated very quickly, very miserably, and was destroyed by Zhao Hong's 300,000 army, with nearly 200,000 casualties and more than 100,000 surrenders.
Wei Yan was in pain when he retreated: "Huang Chao, Huang Chao, when did such a killing god come out, I knew it was like this, and I would definitely not take the position of this vanguard general." I don't know how the commander is going to punish me. ”
Zhao Hong succeeded in the first battle, and was open-minded, first accepted all the surrendered troops and generals, carried out large-scale ideological and cultural education, preached positive energy, correct social values of Dayan, and denounced Zhao Ting's evil, and the generals who could surrender were not the descendants carefully cultivated by Wei Yan, although they might be mixed with some spies, Zhao Hong was inclusive and did not screen. These generals are originally Yan people, whether they listen to Zhao Ting scolding Zhao Hong before leaving, or listen to Zhao Hong scolding Zhao Ting now, they can only laugh, fortunately, Zhao Hong has many soldiers to fight on weekdays, and has a good reputation in the army, and these soldiers surrender with peace of mind.
After appeasing the surrendered troops, Zhao Hong rewarded him for his merits, and directly gave Huang Erniu the title of Tianzheng General, a very popular minister, and then rewarded the three armies, and was full of joy. The next day, Zhao Hong sent troops one after another, capturing two cities in a row to stabilize his power.
Inside a big tent, Wei Yan knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
The man with gray hair sat down on the coach's stage, and looked at Wei Yan with a light smile: "General Wei, get up, why do you have to do this." ”
Wei Yan was ashamed, raised his head and said: "Great commander, the last general lost the first battle, lost his troops and lost more than 300,000 soldiers and horses!
The boss smiled and said: "Ben Shuai looked at the roster, the real death is about 60,000 people, the rest of the hundreds of thousands are injured, most of them are emotional injuries, as for the more than 100,000 people who surrendered to Zhao Hong, don't care, Zhao Hong was also my Prince Yan, it is normal for the soldiers to be unwilling to fight to the death, they can surrender Zhao Hong, of course, they can also surrender to our Majesty, Zhao Hong must also know, so he dare not send those surrendered troops to charge into battle, at most to defend the city." Aren't those cities also my Great Yan's cities, with my Great Yan's soldiers guarding them, why not, we can also save a lot of grain and grass. ”
Listening to what the boss said was reasonable, and tried his best to excuse himself, Wei Yan was flattered and said: "Commander, the last general is willing to be demoted to the vanguard and fight to the death with Zhao Hong." ”
The boss waved his hand: "No need, that Huang Chao is so powerful, why should we bother to touch it, mobilize troops and horses, strengthen the defense of the city, don't let Zhao Hong take the opportunity to seize the city again, and at the same time step up the arrangement of the encirclement, trap Zhao Hong and others within the scope we have demarcated, and never let one go." ”
Wei Yan was grateful, and said in a loud voice: "Follow the instructions of the marshal." ”
The boss stepped down from the seat and stepped forward to help Wei Yan: "General Wei, I didn't expect Huang Chao to be so strong, and it was also the mistake of the commander, the mistake of the commander made the brothers bear it, the commander was uneasy, there is no need to be so restrained in the future, just call me Ma Dashuai." ”
Wei Yan was grateful: "Yes, Ma Dashuai, the last general will never let an enemy in the encirclement escape." ”
Ma Dashuai smiled kindly, revealing Cangyun's familiar eyes.
Same day, night, Dong Peng.
Feiyu Embassy.
"Who is coming late at night and must see me?" The red-faced and long-bearded general was dressed in clothes, slightly unhappy, and followed his confidant master to the meeting room.
There was a man standing in the living room, wearing a dark cloak that covered half of his face.
The envoy of Dong Peng Fei said in a deep voice: "What kind of person, come to see this Fei You envoy and hide it." ”
The person who came raised the cloak covering his face and smiled slightly, Dong Peng Fei Youyou was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and knelt down on one knee: "His Royal Highness the Prince!
