Chapter 177: The Smoke Goes Out in the North
"My lord, retreat quickly, the Chu army has come in. Liao Ziping broke into the city guard mansion and urged Huang Ning.
Huang Ning had an expression of disbelief on his face, and shouted in a lost voice: "What? How did the Chu army get in?"
"Dig a tunnel and hide it in the homes of the people of Dragon City. Liao Ziping explained that time was pressing, and he didn't have time to elaborate.
This is also the only answer he can think of now, after all, there are too many Chu troops entering the city this time, and it is definitely impossible to rely only on the tunnel.
Hearing this, Huang Ning suddenly realized.
"I see, I see. I see, the earthen tower is the ornament. ”
"My lord, how can I have time to think about this now, let's go, the Chu army is about to fight, and General Hu Qiao won't last long. Liao Ziping hurriedly persuaded.
Huang Ning looked at the city guard mansion unwillingly, sighed for the last time, and left without looking back.
As soon as Huang Ning left, Hu Qiao had an accident.
When they learned that there was a change in the city, Liao Ziping and Hu Qiao glanced at each other, and what they were most worried about finally happened.
originally thought that relying on his own troops would be enough to calm the turmoil, but he never thought that this time the Chu army was menacing, and one or two thousand people went up and were directly wiped out, and it can be seen from the momentum from a distance that there are only a lot more Chu troops in the city.
Liao Ziping knew that Longcheng was more than auspicious this time, so he hurriedly asked Hu Qiao to lead the remaining troops to block the Chu army, and he took Huang Ning to break through.
Hu Qiao's confidence was quite strong in the face of the Zhiwai army led by Xu Hua, but when the two sides clashed in the first round, Hu Qiao was immediately dumbfounded.
Four or five hundred people were directly seconded in front of him, and these Chu troops seemed to be born without fear of pain and fear, and they could rush into the army formation without any scruples.
Seeing that the morale of the remaining troops was completely lost, Hu Qiao's heart was crossed, and he rushed forward with a spear.
As soon as Hu Qiao came up, he was with Xu Huazhan, and as soon as the two fought, they had a greater grasp of the strength of both sides.
Hu Qiao's battle qi skills were still above Xu Slip, and he immediately seized this opportunity to kill Xu Slip and turn the tide of the battle by taking advantage of the situation.
Hu Qiao stabbed down with a shot and was brushed aside by Xu Slip with an axe.
The function of the rattle-tailed axe is officially manifested at this moment, and the balls in the axe roll down from the handle to the blade, which immediately increases the power of the rattle-tailed axe.
The gun in Hu Qiao's hand was not clenched, and was directly slapped away by this skimming, and then Xu Slip took advantage of the situation and chopped down with an axe, dividing Hu Qiao into two.
Until the moment before Hu Qiao's death, he still didn't figure out why the other party's battle spirit was not as strong as his own, but the force of the casual sweep was so great.
Solving Hu Qiao, Xu Hua took advantage of the victory to pursue, but when he arrived at the city guard's mansion, Huang Ning had already fled to the south gate under the escort of Liao Ziping.
At the same time, he fled to the south gate, and Min Zheng, who was guarding the east gate, smelled that the situation on the battlefield was wrong one step earlier, and withdrew from the east gate with more than 10,000 people.
The two troops gathered at the south gate, Huang Ning looked at the empty open space outside the city, and had an ominous premonition in his heart, but at present, only the south gate could escape, even if there was fraud, he could only move forward.
......
He had been depressed for a whole night, he thought that Han Ming would give him an important task, not to take the lead in storming the city, but at least to play the role of the vanguard of the battle, but he didn't expect Han Ming to fool him into a mountain forest, and he also called it a stopper deserter.
The key is to let that cold-faced man Liu Han follow him, so that he is so unhappy.
And he, having been waiting in this woodland with ten thousand soldiers for a whole night, except for the occasional passing beast, he did not see half a figure.
There is a deep feeling of being deceived. And Liu Han beside him still looks like he can't be shaken, as if it doesn't matter if anyone comes or not, which makes Crazy Qi very unhappy.
Just when he was bored, there was a sudden noise from the south.
Crazy immediately cheered up and listened attentively.
After a while, a disheveled army appeared in his field of vision.
"God, the boss is really a god. Crazy Qi couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Han on the side smiled for the first time and said softly, "Okay, get ready to stop them." ”
"Okay, you'll see how I surprise them. ”
After speaking, he frantically lifted his two short halberds, twisted his neck, and loosened his muscles.
The soldiers of the Li Army who had withdrawn from Longcheng fled all the way, and for a whole night, they were not pursued by the Chu army, and the soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
But Huang Ning didn't think so, he knew that the Chu army would definitely have an ambush, just when they were slack, they jumped out and carried out a thunderous blow.
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately led people out of the forest to kill him.
Looking at the madness that seemed to be possessed by a demon god, the soldiers of the Li Army were terrified.
Seeing this, Min Zheng immediately organized a Dadao Supervisor team and ordered the soldiers to counterattack, while Liao Ziping took Huang Ning to retreat first.
But this group of defeated troops has no strength to fight back, and after fighting with the 10,000 soldiers led by Crazy Qi, they will be immediately defeated, how can they still have half the courage.
To say that it is a backlash is actually a unilateral rout, or even a massacre.
One person is unstoppable, and two short halberds are slashed everywhere, invincible.
Many soldiers retreated one after another, but the overseers behind them were shining with bright broadswords, and no one dared to retreat too much.
Seeing this, Min Zheng knew that the morale of the army had been lost, but if he fled at this time, he would inevitably be chased and killed, and then he would be a fish to be slaughtered.
At this time, one of the mad people had lost touch with the large army, and he rushed into the enemy formation alone, stirring up a pool of troubled waters in the army formation.
Seeing this, Min Zheng was overjoyed. He spotted the position of the mad rising, and led his guards to rush up and surround him.
It's just that although his personal guards are stronger than the three armies, they are still not enough to see in the face of the heavily armed madness, and the three times and five divided by two will be all solved.
Min Zheng had no choice but to go to the battlefield by himself and fight against the madness.
It's a pity that although Min Zheng is a general and has learned battle qi, his skills are too low, and he is not a crazy opponent at all.
Originally, Min Zheng was behind to supervise the battle, and the soldiers wanted to escape but were afraid of being beheaded. And now that the main general is dead, the soldiers of the army no longer have the courage to die, starting from the rear, the rout and escape unfold like a broken embankment.
Of course, Liu Han would not let go of such an excellent opportunity, he was the best at chasing and killing, and immediately led his soldiers to start chasing the north.
On this side of the battlefield, a one-sided slaughter was going on, while on the other side, Liao Ziping and Huang Ning dragged one or two thousand terrified defeated soldiers to escape from the pursuit without danger.
Rushing all the way, everyone didn't have time to catch their breath, and seeing that they had escaped from the pursuit, Huang Ning motioned for everyone to stop and rest.
Looking at the people with bitter faces, Huang Ning was a little disappointed, this defeat was all due to his insistence on going his own way, ignoring the control of the people in the city, and finally there was this defeat, and the entire 60,000 troops were all buried in Dragon City.
Liao Ziping on the side saw Huang Ning's sad face, and hurriedly comforted: "My lord, if we escape this time, we can still rely on Longguan to defend it, wait until we recover in the future, and then wave our army south, Chu State has no danger of Longguan, and it will definitely not be able to resist the iron cavalry of our army, and we will be able to avenge this battle at that time." ”
Hearing Liao Ziping's comfort, Huang Ning's heart gradually felt better, as long as he was allowed to return to Longguan, if he was defeated today, he would definitely let Chu Jun return it with interest.
"How far is it to go to Longguan?" asked Huang Ning.
Liao Ziping looked into the distance, and saw that the surrounding mountains and rocks were protruding, and the whole land was yellow and bare, without the slightest vitality, and immediately reacted.
"Your Excellency. This is Huangshigang, through here, not far to Longguan, then we will be safe. ”
"Huang Shigang?" Huang Ning was shocked, he seemed to have heard this name somewhere.
"You can't go. ”
Liao Song suddenly jumped out of the hill and shouted loudly, startling everyone.
Then, the soldiers who spread all over the mountains began to show their figures, filling the slopes on both sides.
Huang Ning and the others were about to return the same way, but unexpectedly, Feng Yu, who was wearing a white robe and a white horse, stopped behind everyone.
Now there are pursuers in front and interceptions in the back, and the remaining soldiers of the army have no hope of survival, and they have put down their weapons and begged to surrender.
Just when everyone thought that the overall situation had been decided, a chaotic voice suddenly came from behind Feng Yu.
Looking back, I saw a group of defeated soldiers of the Li Army crying and rushing towards this side, and behind them, they were followed by Liu Han and Qi Qi and others who were harvesting.
Liao Ziping was originally a native of Chu, but this time he defected to Liguo and killed the border minister of Chu. Knowing that there was no hope of surviving in the hands of the Chu army, seeing this chaos, he raised his arms and shouted.
"Brothers, killing so many Chu people, falling into the hands of the Chu army is also a dead word, rather than being buried alive and killed, it is better to fight a wave and break out!"
When the soldiers of the Li Army who were about to surrender heard this, they were also afraid of being killed by the Chu army, so they took up their weapons one after another and killed Feng Yu.
As soon as Liao Ziping saw that the plan succeeded, he ignored the others, mixed in the chaos of the army, and fled outside.
Feng Yu saw that there were Li troops on both sides rushing towards him, and immediately ordered everyone to disperse, while he himself rushed towards Huang Ning's side.
Riding a white robe and being alone, thousands of troops and horses avoided it.
All the soldiers of the Li army were afraid of Feng Yu's courage and avoided it one after another, just rushing from the weak defensive sides.
And Huang Ning had long been out of support, and was easily taken down by Feng Yu.
originally thought that through Huang Ning, Feng Yu could control this army, but he didn't expect that this group of people only cared about escaping and didn't pay attention to any military orders at all.
Feng Yu knew that only sharp blades and dripping blood could calm them down at this moment, so he began to let Bai Ma Wei attack and kill the fleeing Li soldiers.
At this time, Liao Song's soldiers also began to besiege and kill this group of Lijun soldiers, cooperating with Liu Han and the madness, and it didn't take long for the rioting Lijun soldiers to be wiped out.
Although the enemy army was completely annihilated this time, it was a pity that a big fish like Liao Ziping was let go because of the impact of the defeated army, but after this battle, it was announced that the northern border of Zhongchu had been fully recovered, and then, it was time to face the first danger in the world.
Liu Han, Crazy Qi, Feng Yu, Liao Song and others got together.
Liao Song watched the soldiers clean up the battlefield, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this big crisis has finally been half pacified so far, as long as the Dragon Pass is recaptured, Zhongchu will be too peaceful.
Hu Bugui listened to Liao Song's suggestion and led the army north to guard against reinforcements from Longguan, but he never thought that Longguan had not received any information, and there had been no movement for a month.
It happened that Liao Song led the troops to inspect and met Feng Yu in Huangshigang, so there was the following scene.
Liu Han was also surprised that Liao Song appeared in Huangshigang, but when he saw the Chu army cleaning the battlefield on Huangshigang, he suddenly had a plan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a plan, but I can take the Dragon Pass without much effort, I don't know what you think?" Liu Han said.
