Jiangzhong
There was a person next to him: "If I were Lin Renzhao, I would definitely take refuge in Zhou Guo! Lord Zhou has a discerning eye for heroes, and he will definitely reuse Lin Renzhao." Another said: "I don't think General Lin will be." If you take refuge in the Zhou State, you will in turn attack the people of my Jiangnan, General Lin loves the people like a son, and he will not be like this!" The little five words before: "Once Lin Renzhao defects to the Zhou State, he will become a general who is highly used." He destroyed my Tang Dynasty one day, maybe the Lord of Zhou named him the King of Tang. Why did he work for this corrupt court?" As soon as these words came out, everyone began to talk again. Some people say that Lin Renzhao will not, he is a loyal. Some people say that it will definitely be, anyway, it is all in Jiangnan, why not let yourself be the king of Tang. Some people also say that it is difficult to say, the people in the officialdom are very deep, and the usual love for the people is pretended, but it is too hasty to take refuge in the Zhou State like this.
The more Huang Wen listened, the more angry he became, and suddenly said, "You are all talking nonsense!" Everyone stopped abruptly and looked back at him. Huang Wendao: "Don't fall for Zhou Gou's discordant plan and harm my loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty!" Xiao Wu stood up and said: "Who are you? Why do you say that it is a discordant plan, why will Lin Renzhao not be treasonous?" Li Yu stood up and said: "This king can prove that General Lin will not commit treason!" Everyone looked at him. Huang Wen pointed at Li Yu and said: "This is King Wu, General Lin and Lord Wu are close friends. The crowd was in an uproar and saluted. Li Yu said: "At present, the Tang and Zhou countries are fighting one after another, and it is inevitable that there will be people with ulterior motives to confuse the public, please don't believe the rumors, and have confidence in my Tang Dynasty soldiers!" Everyone shouted "Okay". Only Xiao Wu stood up and said: "You say you are the King of Wu, you are the King of Wu! Why should we believe you?" Zhang San also said: "Yes! We all came back from the front line, is there any fake what we saw with our own eyes?" Huang Wen said angrily: "You said you saw it with your own eyes, then what did you say you saw?" Xiao Wu said: "I saw Lin Renzhao with my own eyes with a man and a woman to the Zhou State military camp to see the Zhou Lord Chai Rong, that man and a woman, I believe everyone knows that they are his heroic children." There were also more than a dozen soldiers carrying large and small boxes of gold and silver treasures to Na Chai Rong. Later, when the two countries were at war, Lin Renzhao asked his son and daughter to play casually and then Mingjin withdrew his troops. Does this count as taking refuge in the Zhou State?" Huang Wen laughed and said, "You said that General Lin's daughter also went to Jiangzhong?" Xiao Wu said: "I saw it with my own eyes, will it be fake?" Suddenly, a person jumped out of the crowd and pointed at Xiao Wudao: "You must be a spy of the Zhou State, and you are here to confuse the public." I left Jinling City early this morning, and I saw Miss Lin guarding Jinling City!" Seeing that something was wrong, the two wanted to run away, but Huang Wen jumped over and grabbed them by the collars, threw them on the ground, and shouted, "Where can the spy escape!" and pulled out the demon sword, trying to kill the two. Li Yu stepped forward to stop and said to the two: "This time, I will spare your dog's life." You must know that my Datang is not easy to provoke, and those who offend me will be punished! Go back and be a good man. The two fled in confusion. When everyone saw it, they all applauded. Li Yu didn't want to be too public, so he and Huang Wen left in a hurry.
On the way, Huang Wen has always felt very uncomfortable in his heart, although he knows that this is a discord plan made by Zhou Guo, Lin Renzhao, as the first general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is also reasonable to be regarded as the object of discord. However, he knew that Zhou Guolai was attacking the most elite generals of the whole Zhou led by Chai Rong, the lord of Zhou, and Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin, etc. must also be listed. Although he hasn't seen Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and Shi Shouxin are brothers who worship together, and Huang Wen trusts them very much, but he didn't expect to become a villain who came out of this conspiracy now. Huang Wen didn't dare to confide in Li Yu what he thought, for fear that Li Yu would doubt his loyalty to the Southern Tang Dynasty. Huang Wen had always felt that it was difficult to give up the brotherhood when he met the righteous brothers on the battlefield. But now that he thinks that since his brothers don't care about brotherhood, why should he care about this? In this way, he put down his ideological baggage and decided to fight for the Southern Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly. In fact, where did he understand: Where did Zhao Kuangyin and the others know that he was in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he was still in such a situation? Even if he knew, Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin were both heroes of the world, and since each was his own master, he would definitely not control the trend of the world because of his personal feelings.
Li Yu was silent all the way, and Huang Wen didn't pay attention to him even if he thought about himself. In the evening, I really arrived in the middle of the river. On the way, he met many fleeing people, and Huang Wen had already found out that Lin Renzhao himself was guarding the west gate of Jiangzhong City, facing the army led by Chai Rong. The west gate of Jiangzhong City is in the mountains, and it is the only passage into the city from the north, which has the natural advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack. Huang Wen drove directly to the front of the barracks. As soon as Huang Wen reported, the sergeant had already led Huang Wen and Li Yu to Lin Renzhao's barracks.
Lin Renzhao was reprimanding an officer: "Disperse a part of the soldiers to the people, and collect more rumors spread by the enemy among the people of our Datang Dynasty! Go quickly, don't worry that the number of soldiers who resist the enemy will decrease!" The reprimanded officer went out resignedly. When Lin Renzhao saw Li Yu coming, he immediately got up and saluted. Huang Wen also met with his father-in-law.
Li Yu said: "Hard work General Lin! What happened just now?" Lin Renzhao said: "The news that the last general defected to the Zhou State was spread among the people, and the soldiers were a little shaken. I asked General Fang to go to the people to arrest a few people and come back to kill a hundred people to make an example of the army. Li Yu said: "We also met on the way here. If I knew this, I should have let General Huang arrest him. Lin Renzhao said: "Chai Rong is scheming, and there are so many capable people under his command, naturally there will be many conspiracies and tricks against our Datang, especially the last general himself." I have already been prepared, the so-called body is not afraid of shadows, no matter how many tricks Zhou Gou has, he will be divided into high and low on the battlefield!" Li Yu nodded and said, "On the way to Jiangzhong, I have already thought of countermeasures. General Lin, let's go up to the castle tower first. So, Lin Renzhao led the way in front, Li Yu was in the center, Huang Wen was behind, and a few followers followed, so he looked at the city tower and left.
Coming to the city tower, Lin Renzhao pointed to the open place ten miles away and said, "Lord Wang, you see, the continuous military camp is the Zhou army. Li Yu looked over, under the golden sunset, the Zhou soldiers' barracks were one after another, endlessly. Li Yu said: "Xiao Wang thought that the Zhou army came from afar, and the carriage and horses were tired, we can learn the method of Sima Yi in the past, but stick to it and not fight." After a long time, the Zhou army will retreat. Lin Renzhao thought for a while and said, "Does the prince think it is feasible to emulate Sima Yi's method of dealing with Zhuge Liang's army in Qishan?" Li Yu said: "Xiao Wang has thought about it for a day, and only this method can protect the Tang Dynasty." Lin Renzhao pondered and was silent. Huang Wen raised his eyes and saw that in the vast sky, occasionally, Zhou Bing's patrol horses were running around, and there didn't seem to be that feeling of sword and crossbow pulling. Huang Wen knew that in a certain military camp, there were people he knew and even missed. It used to be nostalgia, but now it has decided to exist as an opponent.
In the evening, Li Yu rested. Huang Wen saw Lin Renzhao go up to the city tower, so he followed. Lin Renzhao looked at the firelight company camp on the other side and said, "Wen'er, the Zhou soldiers have been stationed here for three days, and they don't seem to be in a hurry to attack the city every day, they just send thousands of soldiers over to fight. Do you think the method that Wu Wang Ye said is feasible?" Huang Wendao: "Father-in-law, it seems that the younger generation is not feasible. Lin Renzhao said: "Oh! Why?" Huang Wen said: "In the past, Zhuge Kongming went out of Qishan seven times, which is different from the situation of the southern invasion of the soldiers in Zhou today! Therefore, the biggest problem faced by Zhuge Kongming is the successor grain and grass. Sima Yi saw this disadvantage, so he used the technique of guarding. However, today's situation is different from the past, the terrain here is relatively flat, the Zhou soldiers have a lot of food, and the weather in Jiangnan is getting warmer in the spring, since Chai Rong is driving the expedition in person, he must not give up in Jiangnan!" Lin Renzhao nodded and said: "Wen'er is reasonable! But how do you think we should win?" Huang Wendao: "Not yet." However, I would like to go to Zhou Ying to find out what is happening. Lin Renzhao said: "No! Zhou soldiers are well guarded, it is too dangerous for you to go!" Huang Wen said: "Father-in-law, don't worry! I can come and go by myself, and I can walk through this 100,000 army without hindrance!" Lin Renzhao knew that he was strong in martial arts, although he still couldn't rest assured, but it was not a good thing for him to try it. Huang Wendao: "Father-in-law, I'll go tonight." Lin Renzhao nodded in agreement. So, Huang Wen immediately packed up, put on black clothes, wore a black veil, and quietly walked out of the north gate.
Huang Wen went out of the north gate, and he used his life's light skills to quickly go up the mountain. He did not run on the ground, but flew over the woods with his light strength, so as to avoid being discovered by the ambushed Zhou soldiers. Nothing was found in the mountains and forests, so they went down the mountain and went straight north. He ran very fast, and half a cup of tea reached the east side of the Zhou camp. So, Huang Wen turned west again, closer to Zhou Ying. The Zhou soldiers, who had escaped the night patrol, searched dozens of military camps in a row, but did not find a single person he knew, and it was not like Chai Rong's battalion. Seeing that it was dawn and there were more and more Zhou soldiers patrolling, Huang Wen was so anxious that he was afraid of startling the snake, so he had to sneak back to Jiangzhong City.
Lin Renzhao listened to what Huang Wen said, and said: "Chai Rong is driving in person, and the defense will definitely not be so rash. Wen'er, you take a break, and the Zhou soldiers will come to attack the city. Huang Wen responded and went to rest.
Huang Wen was woken up by the sound of a horn, and he immediately turned over and got up and ran to the city tower. He hid behind Lin Renzhao, and Li Yu glanced at him and looked at him puzzled. Huang Wendao: "Lord Wang, I didn't hide because I was afraid of death. I don't want the other party to find out that there is a person like me, maybe I can make a surprise move when the time comes. Li Yu still didn't understand, and turned his head to look ahead. Lin Renzhao said: "Wen'er is reasonable!" Huang Wendan saw that the Zhou soldiers were coming slowly, there were about 5,000 sergeants, and the leading general Huang Wen did not know. Zhou Bing slowly approached, and the leading general stopped near the city and scolded the city head: "Coward who is afraid of death, come down and fight Lao Tzu to the death!" No one in the city paid attention. Huang Wen knew that Lin Renzhao had given an order and let the other party scold. The man continued to scold: "Dog's day Lin Renzhao, haven't you already promised the emperor to open the city gate and surrender? Why do you want to regret it now?" Lin Renzhao ignored it. The man continued to scold: "Lin Renzhao, the east gate guarded by your son Lin Zhenshan has surrendered, and if you surrender late, you will be your son's subordinate!" Then, he continued to scold: "Last night, Lao Tzu went to have a tryst with the daughter of the Lin family, it's cool!" After speaking, he laughed proudly again. Huang Wen was furious when he heard this, snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of the sergeant beside him, stretched out his bow and drew the arrow, and the arrow flew over with a whoosh. The man was standing far away, and ordinary archers were not allowed to shoot arrows at him, so he was defenseless. Where did he think that Huang Wen had practiced bows and arrows since he was a child, and the arrows were not missing. In addition, the internal strength is now unparalleled in the world, and the arrow can reach the place that ordinary people can't reach. The sneer broke through the air, and when the man in the scolding array found it, he could not avoid it, and the arrow hit the forehead, and the man fell off his horse and did not move.
When the Tang soldiers in the city saw it, they all cheered. Zhou Bing was terrified, but he did not dare to move forward. Huang Wen had already twisted three arrows on the string, ready to shoot a full bow at any time. After a while, four Zhou soldiers rushed over with their shields raised. When Huang Wen waited for the four people to approach the fallen corpse, Huang Wen struggled to release three arrows. There was a snort, and the three of them fell in response. The arrow shot by Huang Wen actually shot through the shield and shot down the three people. Huang Wen immediately shot another arrow, and the other person was also hit by the arrow and fell. At this time, Tang Bing cheered and was excited. Li Yu said: "General Huang is also an archer!" Lin Renzhao was also very excited, and said: "Wen'er, you live up to the emperor's title of General Zhenbei!" Huang Wendao: "The last general has not opened a bow and arrows for a long time, this time let's use Zhou soldiers to train their hands!" All the soldiers applauded happily, and they all praised Huang Wennai as a "sharpshooter". And Huang Wen quietly waited for Zhou Bing to come over again.
After a while, another officer led hundreds of people to crawl over. Huang Wen was anxious: No matter how accurate and fast the archery is for so many people, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net. Each soldier had a shield on his back. Huang Wen saw that the Zhou soldiers who were crawling in front were approaching, so he twisted three arrows in his hand and shot them hard. At the moment when he shot out, a trumpet sounded, and Zhou Bingqi, who was prostrate on the ground, turned over and left a distance of two feet. There were three snorts, and the three arrows sank into the ground. Huang Wen was shocked, and Tang Bing also sighed together. Only then did Huang Wen see clearly that not far away, there was a Zhou soldier standing on the chariot, keeping an eye on the bow and arrow in Huang Wen's hand. Huang Wen immediately thought of a solution, so he twisted up three more arrows and aimed at the Zhou soldiers who continued to crawl on the ground. Suddenly, Huang Wen shot out with a full bow, and the horn sounded, but Huang Wen shot three more arrows just as the horn sounded. It turned out that Huang Wen grabbed three arrows in the moment of loose strings, so the shot was false, and it just caused the man to blow the horn. The real three arrows were shot at the same time as the horn sounded, and the person who blew the horn had no time to react, and Zhou Bing, who had turned over two feet, was hit by the arrow just now, hitting the foreheads of the three people, and suddenly did not move on the ground. Huang Wen shot indiscriminately in accordance with the law, and the time was instantaneous, and the person who blew the horn could not distinguish it at all, and more than a dozen Zhou soldiers died on the ground in an instant. But the remaining Zhou soldiers had slowly pulled back the previous and later arrows, far beyond the range that Huang Wen could shoot. Lin Renzhao said: "If I can have a few more archers like Wen'er in the Tang army, how dare the Zhou soldiers come to provoke?" Li Yu praised: "Today, General Huang showed his true colors as an archer, and I think the Zhou soldiers will have to be a mile away before they dare to shout." Huang Wendao: "Father-in-law, the last general's archery is still not fast enough, otherwise, they won't be allowed to go back." Lin Renzhao smiled and said: "Hahahaha, Wen'er, you have already greatly reduced the spirit of Zhou Bing, if he dares to come again in the future, you will do the same." Huang Wen nodded, and Li Yu also applauded.
Zhou Bing gradually retreated, not daring to shout again. Lin Renzhao held a banquet at noon that day to celebrate his achievements, praising Huang Wen for defeating Zhou Bing. In fact, he just wanted to give Huang Wen military prestige. Li Yu said during the banquet: "This king is here to honor all the heroes present on behalf of the emperor!" Everyone cheered and cheered. Li Yu continued: "The Zhou soldiers are menacing, fortunately, my Tang Dynasty boy bravely resisted the enemy, so that I can protect the peace of my Tang Dynasty! General Lin is a famous general of my Tang Dynasty, and now I have the heroic help of General Huang, this time Chai Rong is bound to fight back to the north and set up my Tang Wei!" Everyone cheered.
The next day, Zhou Bing did not come to provoke until noon, but they did not dare to approach, but they only scolded from afar, and it was already very weak when it reached the upper floor of Jiangzhong City.
Another day passed, it rained, the sky was dark, and Zhou Bing didn't come to provoke. Tang Bing was overjoyed, and they all said that Zhou Bing was afraid that he was going to withdraw his troops. Lin Renzhao reminded everyone: "Zhou Bing has Zhao Pu as a military advisor, this person is changeable, and the march is unpredictable, so don't take it lightly!" However, until the second day, Zhou Bing still did not move. Because it was still raining, the sky was gray, and Zhou Ying could no longer be seen on the city tower. The spies reported that Zhou Bing did not move, not knowing whether he wanted to leave or stay.
Lin Renzhao looked at the vast land and said, "Wen'er, what do you think Zhou Bing wants?" Huang Wen was puzzled and said, "Father-in-law, the last general doesn't know what kind of medicine Zhou Bing sells in this gourd." If we want to withdraw our troops, we should increase the number of battalions and reduce the number of troops to confuse our army. If you want to continue to attack Jiangzhong, why is there no movement? Lin Renzhao said: "This is the power of Chai Rong." Chai Rong has Zhao Pu as a military advisor, and fierce generals have Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin, etc., but there are few generals in my Tang Dynasty who can fight. It's not an option. Huang Wen couldn't think of any good way.
The rain fell for five days in a row, and Zhou Bing did not make any movement. Tang Bing was relaxed, and everyone was discussing that Chai Rong might have fled back to Bianjing.
It was night, it was dark, and the rain was heavier, and there were small rivers of rain in and out of the city. Huang Wen and Lin Renzhao both returned to the camp to rest. Just as everyone was asleep, they heard the shouts of killing. Huang Wen and Lin Renzhao immediately turned over and got up, and the guards had already reported: "Countless Zhou soldiers suddenly appeared on the city tower, and everyone has been killed!" Huang Wen was shocked, took the demon sword and rushed up the city tower.
When he came to the city tower, Huang Wen saw that the soldiers of Zhou and Tang had been fighting together in the heavy rain. And what he saw seemed to be that there were more Zhou soldiers than Tang soldiers? Tang soldiers were pouring up from below, and some of them were still blocked at the staircase. Huang Wen shouted, pulled out the Demon Sword, swung it, and quickly killed it along the road of the city tower. But seeing that Zhou Bing was screaming with a sword, Huang Wen took advantage of the situation and knocked Zhou Bing out of the city with a palm of his left hand, and the screams in the darkness continued. Huang Wen had already cleared the Zhou soldiers for a while in the blink of an eye, but there were still Zhou soldiers who kept climbing up the ladder. Seeing this, Huang Wen knew that there was no way to repel the Zhou soldiers after killing him like this. He had an idea, and immediately jumped to the edge of the city wall and ran all the way there. As long as he saw a ladder, he immediately swung down with a few swords to kill the Zhou soldiers at the top of the ladder, and then pushed the ladder down with a wave of his palm, and the screams below immediately rose and fell. Huang Wen knocked down the ladders, and in a short time, all the ladders had been knocked down. There were more and more Tang soldiers on the city tower, and the Zhou soldiers were gradually killed. Huang Wen suddenly saw another cloud ladder coming up, and immediately jumped over to do the same, and in an instant, he knocked down all the cloud ladders that had been erected. At this time, the Tang soldiers were completely in control of the situation, and the Zhou soldiers were killed, wounded or surrendered, and the Tang soldiers cheered loudly to celebrate the victory. Seeing this, Zhou Bing no longer set up a ladder to come up, and Mingjin withdrew his troops.
Lin Renzhao saw that Huang Wen was covered in rain and blood, and said loudly: "Wen'er, you saved Jiangzhong! At this time, Li Yu also went up to the city tower and listened to a brief explanation of Huang Wen's efforts to turn the tide just now, and now seeing that Huang Wen was still standing on the ground, he shouted: "General Huang, the Tang Dynasty is lucky!" Everyone reacted and cheered. Huang Wendao: "The last general swears to live and die with Jiangzhong!" This is from his heart, because he also knows that Jiangzhong is dead, so the Zhou soldiers will drive straight into Jinling and attack directly. He didn't want to see the scene of Lin Xiuzhen and Jinling surviving together, it was better for him to live and die with Jiangzhong. Li Yu was also excited after hearing this, and led all the soldiers to applaud and cheer.
Li Yu took Huang Wen back to the camp to rest, and Lin Renzhao led the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and re-strengthen the defense. If it weren't for Huang Wen to turn the tide just now, Zhou Bing might have changed the battle flag at the head of the city. Therefore, Lin Renzhao rearranged the defense, especially the defense of the defenders.
The next day, the rain turned clear and the sun shone brightly. As soon as the sun came out, the Zhou soldiers lined up to attack the city. Huang Wen looked from afar, but saw a person sitting under Jin Luan's big umbrella on a huge war vehicle in the distance. Lin Renzhao said: "Last night, the Zhou soldiers failed to sneak attack, and this morning Chai Rong supervised the siege of the city. It seems that Zhou Bing is in a hurry!" Huang Wen said: "Father-in-law, I have a plan!" Lin Renzhao looked at him, Huang Wen continued: "I want the strongest bow!" Lin Renzhao understood, so he found two strong bows. The Zhou soldiers had begun to rush towards the city wall. Huang Wen struggled to draw the bow and draw the arrow, pulling the bow to the extreme, and with a whoosh, the arrow had fallen to the ground before it could reach Chai Rong. Huang Wen was furious, and immediately picked up another bow and pulled it hard, trying to open it tighter than just now, but when he heard a snap, the bow had been broken. Huang Wen threw the broken bow to the ground angrily, and said, "God will help Zhou Bing?" Lin Renzhao said beside him: "Wen'er, don't worry, I asked the sergeant to build the strongest bow and arrow for you overnight!" Huang Wen said: "If a strong bow can shoot at Chai Rong, I will definitely kill him by an arrow!" So, Lin Renzhao immediately ordered to go down and make the strongest bow and arrow, preferably with a range of ten miles. The most experienced weaponry in the Tang soldiers went to discuss the build.
The Zhou soldiers rushed not far from the city, and released flying stones, flowing lights and other weapons to attack the Tang soldiers in the city. Lin Renzhao had already prepared and asked everyone to use shields to resist. Under this cover, the Zhou soldiers rushed to the foot of the city wall, and then the archers shot arrows upward, the sappers took the ladder, and the stormtroopers climbed the ladder. The Zhou soldiers immediately shot arrows on the city to fight back, blocking the Zhou soldiers who climbed the ladder. Suddenly, the screams went up and down. Huang Wenkong has martial arts, but he can't help.
Gradually, Zhou soldiers attacked the city tower, and the city tower was already full of fire. Lin Renzhao called some soldiers to extinguish the fire. The fire was gradually controlled, but there were more and more Zhou soldiers, and the city tower was in a mess. Seeing this, Huang Wen had to fight with Zhou Bing. Seeing this situation, Lin Renzhao shouted: "Wen'er, go get the oil and come up, burn the cloud ladder!" Huang Wen heard this, immediately crossed the crowd, jumped up with two barrels of oil from under the city tower, and fell straight to the cloud ladder. Then, a rocket from Tang Bing immediately shot down beside him, and suddenly the surroundings of the ground and the ladder were on fire, and Zhou Bing was burned and screamed. Huang Wen saw that the method of burning the ladder was very good, so he immediately went to get oil again. But when he just jumped to the bottom of the city tower, he saw that there were already Tang soldiers lined up in a long line to pass the oil up. But the staircase was in a scuffle. Huang Wen shouted, brandished the Demon Sword to kill the crowd blocking the passage, Zhou Bing was cut down by Huang Wen one after another, and Tang Bing got out of the way for Huang Wen to kill him. The Demon Sword was extremely sharp, and Huang Wen poured enough internal force to kill the past, breaking the knife when encountering a knife, cutting a gun when encountering a gun, and falling down when encountering someone. The Tang soldiers behind Huang Wen threw the fallen Zhou soldiers under the city wall. In the blink of an eye, Huang Wen came out of the bloody way. After the oil was passed up the tower, some Tang soldiers fell to the ladder, and then the archers shot rockets to the foot of the ladder, and the entire city wall burned in flames. The Zhou soldiers on the city tower were surrounded and slowly all died or surrendered, and the ladder was burned along with the foot of the city wall, and the Zhou soldiers could no longer attack the city tower. Tang Bing slowly took control of the situation, and once again turned from danger to victory, all of them rejoiced. Zhou Bing looked at the joy of everyone on the city wall in the middle of the river, and saw that there was no hope of attacking the city today, so he called Jin to withdraw his troops. Huang Wen watched Chai Rong retreat to the barracks, staring blankly at what he was thinking.
Huang Wen came to Lin Renzhao's tent and saw that Lin Renzhao was meditating, so he said, "Father-in-law, I have something I want to discuss with you." Lin Renzhao said: "Wen'er, please take a seat." Huang Wen sat down and said, "Father-in-law, in your opinion, can we still defend it?" Lin Renzhao said: "There are masters in the Zhou army tent, and Chai Rong is determined to win, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend it like this." What good way do you have?" Huang Wen said: "We have to take the initiative!" Lin Renzhao nodded and said, "Well, I think so too!" Just tonight, Zhou Bing used all the surprises, and we retaliated with a tooth for a tooth!" Huang Wen saw that Lin Renzhao coincided with himself, and said: "That's right! They took the initiative to attack these times, and it was our turn this time!" So, the two discussed how to sneak attack.
Huang Wendao: "Father-in-law, if you accompany Lord Wu to cook wine in the river tonight, I will take a hundred warriors to attack the Zhou camp at night." Lin Renzhao thought for a moment and said, "There is only one chance, but such a simple night attack wasted the opportunity." Although the prince of Wu ordered us to defend the city in the middle of the river, the one who restrained the prince could send another person. As he spoke, Lin Renzhao called someone in. Huang Wen saw that this person was gentle and elegant, and he looked bookish, so he said: "Father-in-law, this move is high!" This person is Gao Zhixing, the military advisor in Lin Renzhao's account. Gao Zhixing said: "My subordinates must devote their lives to what they have learned tonight, and cook wine and chant poetry with Lord Wu." Huang Wen applauded and said: "Very good! The prince likes to drink and chant poetry the most, and his father-in-law is what he likes." Then, Lin Renzhao arranged it again, and summoned a hundred dead soldiers to Huang Wen. Everything was ready before dark.
It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the cool breeze was gusting. At the second watch, Huang Wen took a hundred warriors straight out of the north gate, and Huang Wen finally saw Lin Zhenshan. Lin Zhenshan already knew his father's strategy, so he wanted to go with Huang Wen. Huang Wen agreed, so he took Lin Zhenshan and a hundred warriors from the north gate, and approached the east side of the Zhou camp as quickly as possible.
About a tea time, everyone arrived at the Zhou camp. Huang Wen encountered the patrolling Zhou soldiers, and before the other party could react, he slashed to the ground. Lin Zhenshan cut down another person. Everyone looked around, and there were indeed very few patrols of Zhou Bing. Everyone lit the firewood soaked in oil prepared in advance, and in an instant, more than 400 torches were on fire. The crowd was scattered and thrown on hundreds of military camps, and suddenly screams and screams rang out. Then, Zhou Bing escaped from the barracks, and Tang Bing, who was guarding the gate of the barracks, who was walking in front, looked directly at the ground. Then, someone rushed out of the barracks in flames and fought with the Tang soldiers.
Huang Wen wielded the Demon Sword, and all the Zhou soldiers he saw touched the sword one by one and fell. The more he killed, the more energetic he became, but there were more and more Zhou soldiers. After a cup of tea, nearly half of the Zhou camp was burned in the fire. Huang Wen saw that the Tang soldiers were gradually surrounded by the Zhou soldiers, so he and Lin Zhenshan fought into a melee group and rescued the Tang soldiers. Huang Wen galloped, Lin Zhenshan followed behind, and led the rescued Tang soldiers along the road that Huang Wen killed all the way to the west. Huang Wen looked back and saw that almost half of the more than 200 people he had brought with him were left, so he said loudly: "Retreat!" So, he retreated to the south. At this time, Zhou Bing's team quickly followed and covered from behind.
Huang Wen led more than 100 people all the way to the south, and after passing a mountain pass, he slowed down. The chasing Zhou soldiers caught up in an instant, and Huang Wen immediately turned around and went back to kill. The general led by the Tang soldiers shouted on his horse: "Ambush!" Sure enough, before the words fell, more than 1,000 people and horses were killed from both sides of the mountain to cover the Zhou soldiers. Zhou soldiers saw that only more than 100 Tang soldiers who surrendered fled, so only more than 1,000 soldiers came after them. But suddenly fell into an ambush, and before Zhou Bing could react, he had been slashed and killed by Tang soldiers, and the rest were surrounded by Tang soldiers and slaughtered. The one who led the ambush of the Zhou soldiers was none other than Lin Renzhao. He arranged for Gao Zhixing to drag Li Yu and let Huang Wen and Lin Zhenshan join up to lead 200 warriors to attack the Zhou camp, and then ambush the pursuers.
Zhou Bing saw the flames in front of him, and knew that the pursuing sergeants had been ambushed, so someone rushed over with 5,000 sergeants to save the formation. But when the large army arrived, the Zhou soldiers were killed, wounded or captured, but there were still a few people who were surrounded in the core, but still fought to the death. Seeing this, Huang Wen jumped in, slashed three people one by one, and slashed three people in the blink of an eye. When they were about to cut off the only one left, when the two looked at each other, they were both stunned. The man said: "Tenth brother, why are you!" Huang Wendao: "Guangyi, it turned out to be you!" It turned out that the leading general who chased and killed was Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Guangyi didn't pay attention for a moment, and was caught by Tang Bing.
Huang Wen took the captured Zhao Guangyi to the front of the army, and was fighting against the Zhou soldiers who caught up. Zhao Guangyi said loudly: "Tenth brother, shouldn't you come to Jiangzhong?" Huang Wen ignored him and said to Zhou Bing opposite: "You guys kill it, I'll kill Zhao Guangyi first!" Zhao Guangyi looked at him strangely and said, "Tenth brother, we are righteous brothers!" At this time, two of Zhou Bing rode to the front of the line, and Zhao Guangyi said loudly: "Second brother, third brother, this person is the tenth brother Huang Wen I told you!" It turned out that Zhao Kuangyin was on the left and Shi Shouxin was on the right.
Zhao Kuangyin finally saw Huang Wen clearly by the light of the fire, and Huang Wen also saw the two of them. Shi Shouxin said: "Tenth brother, it's the second brother and the third brother! You can't hurt Guangyi!" Zhao Kuangyin said: "Tenth brother, I didn't expect that after many years of separation, we would meet in such a situation." You let Guangyi go first, let's have a fair showdown!" Huang Wen looked back at Lin Renzhao, but saw him shake his head. Huang Wen said: "Second brother and third brother, since Xiangcheng is goodbye, the younger brother has always been worried! But today you and I are our own masters, and we have to offend!" Zhao Guangyi said: "Okay, you can kill me!" Shi Shouxin said: "Don't! Tenth brother, when we swore to be righteous, we swore to 'share blessings and difficulties', do you look at it?" Huang Wendao: "My memory is still fresh!" Zhao Kuangyin said: "In this case, you make a condition, and you have your own eldest brother in charge!" Huang Wendao: "Big brother?" Zhao Kuangyin said: "Zhou Lord Chai Rong is our eldest brother who was righteous!" The eldest brother attaches great importance to love and righteousness, as long as he can do it, he will not embarrass the tenth brother. "Let's lead the sergeant back to the camp. Zhao Guangyi watched Zhao Kuangyin and Shi Shouxin return to the camp, although they were lost, they still held their heads high and their bearing was undiminished. Huang Wen and Lin Renzhao escorted Zhao Guangyi back to the city.
Lin Renzhao personally put Zhao Guangyi in prison, and Huang Wen knew that he was afraid that he would let Zhao Guangyi go because of his personal feelings. After Lin Renzhao made the arrangements, he came back to see Huang Wen. Huang Wen was sitting there with Gao Zhixing. When Gao Zhixing saw Lin Renzhao, he said: "General Lin, Lord Wu didn't know that we attacked the Zhou camp at night, and now he has gone to rest." Lin Renzhao said: "Okay, tonight I have greatly reduced the morale of Zhou Bing, and I also arrested Zhao Guangyi." Gao Zhixing said: "Zhao Guangyi is also a fierce general under Chai Rong's account, mainly responsible for escorting grain and grass and guarding the rear, how could he arrest him?" Huang Wen recounted the experience. Gao Zhixing said: "Then Zhao Guangyi definitely couldn't bear the loneliness, so he chased and killed him, but he didn't expect to be ambushed." Lin Renzhao said: "Although this Zhao Guangyi is important under Chai Rong's account, he does not have the conditions that Chai Rong is willing to exchange. Gao Junshi thinks about it, how to deal with it?" Gao Zhixing said: "It's useless to kill, it's a pity to let it go, and it can't exchange any useful conditions, it's really a headache." Huang Wen said: "Zhao Guangyi is useless, we can use him as bait!" Lin Renzhao said: "Okay! Earthworms are useless, but we can catch big fish! Let's think about it in the long run!" The three of them discussed again.
Early the next morning, the Zhou soldiers lined up and sent troops, but did not attack the city. In front of the battle, it was Shi Shouxin. Huang Wen didn't come forward, Lin Renzhao stood on the city tower and shouted: "Shi Shouxin, you are not qualified yet, ask Chai Rong to come out." Shi Shouxin said: "Let Zhao Guangyi come out!" Lin Renzhao beckoned, and Zhao Guangyi was hung on a large wooden stick, and the other end of the wooden stick was fixed on a large wooden shelf. Zhao Guangyi was slowly stretched out and hung outside the city wall. Zhao Guangyi said loudly: "Third Brother Shi, quickly capture Jiangzhong, kill all over the Southern Tang Dynasty to avenge the younger brother!" Shi Shouxin said: "Guangyi, we will save you!" Then, Shi Shouxin said: "General Lin, this general advises you not to move a single hair of General Zhao Er, otherwise, you will be ordered to return the Southern Tang Dynasty a thousand times over!" Lin Renzhao said: "Don't come to bluff me, call Chai Rong to come out and shout!" Shi Shouxin drove back to the camp, and the Zhou soldiers were still lined up.
After a while, Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong rode horses to the front of the battle under the guidance of Shi Shouxin. Zhao Kuangyin said: "General Lin, let my tenth brother come out and shout!" Lin Renzhao said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Zhou, what are you willing to exchange for Zhao Guangyi?" Chai Rong said: "General Zhao Er has made great contributions to my Great Zhou, but with General Lin opening his mouth, everything I can give can be exchanged!" Huang Wen could hear his tone, on the surface, anything can be exchanged, but in fact, it depends on the conditions. Lin Renzhao said: "That's good, take ten cities and exchange them." Chai Rong looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Zhao Er for ten cities, it's cost-effective!" As soon as Lin Renzhao heard this, he asked someone to slowly take back the wooden stick hanging from Zhao Guangyi in the city. Chai Rong was overjoyed when he saw this, and said: "I will do what I say, please General Lin treat General Zhao Er well first, and then we will discuss the matter of ceding land and replacing people." Lin Renzhao said: "Okay!"
In fact, Huang Wen saw Zhao Guangyi's body slowly moving closer to the city tower, so he quickly hid behind him to block himself. Then, unsheath the strongest bow you've made overnight. But I saw that the strong bow was all made of bullets, and it was as thick as an inch in jet black and shiny, and the strings were twisted from steel wire, and the arrows were also made of steel, which were nearly three feet long. Huang Wen used all his strength to stretch his bow to the extreme, and when the soldiers in front moved Zhao Guangyi away, Huang Wen immediately took out of his hand, and three arrows were fired at the same time, all of which were shot at the left, middle and right positions where Chai Rong was. Zhao Kuangyin and Shi Shouxin have been paying attention to the hidden arrows, and what they have been wary of is the inexplicable archer before. At this time, he suddenly saw a person flashing behind Zhao Guangyi, opened his bow and released the arrow, and knew that it was aimed at Chai Rong, the two of them shouted, and stretched out their shields to block Chai Rong. Chai Rong also kept on guard, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately turned sideways and fell to Zhao Kuangyin's side, just hiding behind the shield. But listening to the sound of the arrow piercing through the air, and then there was a bang, the arrow had pierced the shield, but listening to Chai Rong's shout of "ah", he fell. It turned out that the arrow pierced the shield in half, and at the same time hit Chai Rong's right chest, and blood sprayed directly. Zhao Kuangyin immediately summoned soldiers to surround Chai Rong.
Lin Renzhao saw everything not far away, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and said, "Wen'er, your archery skills are unparalleled in the world!" Li Yu was also on the city tower at this time, and when he saw this, he said: "General Zhenbei, you really live up to the emperor's reputation!" Tang Bing rejoiced. The Zhou soldiers' camp Mingjin withdrew. When Lin Renzhao saw the Zhou soldiers retreating, he left some soldiers to defend the city, and the rest returned to the camp to rest.
Huang Wen returned to the camp and his heart was still pounding, he thought: "I killed the eldest brother! I killed the eldest brother! After all, he is my righteous eldest brother! I killed him before I even met him!" Lin Renzhao saw Huang Wen sitting there in a daze, so he approached and said, "Wen'er, were you stunned by the magic arrow just now?" Huang Wen looked at Lin Renzhao embarrassedly, and said, "Father-in-law, do you say that Chai Rong will die?" Lin Renzhao said: "If you don't die, you will be half dead!" That Ninth Master of the Bow is called the 'Heaven Snatching Bow', which was built by the Ninth Master with all his life's work. When he was refining this morning, the Ninth Master died of blood spurting from his heart. When Huang Wen heard this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and said, "Who is Master Nine?" Lin Renzhao said: "Master Nine is a weapon master who has been with me for more than 30 years, and has the name of 'the first iron in the world'. I don't know how much hero's blood he has drunk with the weapons he has built. Huang Wen listened, raised the sky-grabbing bow, and saw that the middle of the bow was indeed engraved with the word "seizing the sky". Lin Renzhao said: "The word 'seizing the sky' not only shows that this bow is extraordinary, but also should be built to kill Chai Rong. Huang Wendao: "'Heaven Snatching Bow', it is really a divine bow!" Lin Renzhao said: "It also takes a hero like you to bring the power of the 'Sky Snatching Bow' to the extreme." At the same time, Lin Renzhao lifted the arrow basket and said, "Wen'er, Master Nine has created ten 'sky-grabbing arrows'. There are still seven, may you shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending my Tang territory, and do not lose the love of 'seizing the sky bow and arrow'. Huang Wen took it and said, "Father-in-law, I want to go and see Master Jiu!" Lin Renzhao took Huang Wen out.
