Chapter 1119: Defend the city, leave the city
Wang Shichong is happy to see the results achieved by Kou Zhong! However, Wang Shichong, the old fox, would never have thought that when Kou Zhong took the soldiers and horses to fight around Luo-Yang, he would already be called a brother and a brother with his "son of the world"'s almost anti-heaven personal charm and generals!
Originally, the people Wang Shichong sent to Kou Zhong to "play" were also some generals and strategists that he didn't trust much and didn't want to reuse, but Kou Zhong and they took this as a breakthrough and dug up Wang Shichong's corner, which can really be described as "not the most insidious, only more insidious". Later, Wang Shichong also felt that this was a bit inappropriate under the reminder of his minister Yang Gongqing, so he sent Yang Gongqing to supervise the army and supervise the war, which actually took back Kou Zhong's power to control the army and put him in the position of military advisor.
In fact, in this way, instead of losing, Kou Zhong gained greater benefits! Since he took charge of the army, although Liu Yu has helped him behind his back, he has also realized many shortcomings in his body, which is the truth of "talking on paper". After all, Kou Zhong was born in the market and had never fought in a war before, so of course it was not enough to read a few military books. And Yang Gongqing is an old minister who has followed Wang Shichong for many years, and has extremely rich experience in marching and fighting, Kou Zhong followed Yang Gongqing's side, constantly stealing teachers and making continuous progress, and took this opportunity to learn a lot of details about leading troops, which is simply a big profit.
For several days, Li Mi's whole army went out to forcibly attack the city, and the two sides fought several battles on the spot, and suffered a lot of losses. Kou Zhong's side was already weak, the equipment to defend the city was also consumed faster, and the backup was weak, if there were no more strange moves, the Yan-Shi would be really difficult to defend.
"Yang Gong, why don't we play an empty city plan with Li Mi's old thief." Kou Zhong said with a smile.
"Oh?" Yang Gongqing was slightly interested. said, "What kind of tricks do you have when you're young, you might as well tell me about it...... But the empty city? We have been able to hold on to the fortification of the walls until now, if the gates are opened. It is basically equivalent to abandoning the city and surrendering, even if our little force is ambushed, it will be difficult to completely annihilate the other party, and once this city is sent out, it will not be able to fight back. β
Kou Zhong sighed lightly and said solemnly: "The Yan-Shi has been almost destroyed by this battle, and the people have also moved to Luo-Yang and the surrounding towns, so we will continue to defend the city and fight bloody battles with it. It is better to introduce all the soldiers and horses of Li Mi's old thief into the city, and then catch turtles in an urn and put a fire. Even the city is burned clean! β
Yang Gongqing was dumbfounded when he heard it at first, how could there be any reason that the defenders of the city would burn down the entire city?! But when he thought about it, he felt that this was really a good method, if he could annihilate all the elite soldiers that Li Mi brought out this time. He can only sneak back to Xingyang's nest in the ashes. There will be no more attacks on Luoyang in the short term - then their ultimate goal of defending the city will be achieved, and losing a worthless city for this purpose is definitely a profitable business!
Excitedly patting his thigh, Yang Gongqing immediately ordered his henchmen to prepare secretly, digging tunnels in the city to pour fire oil, hiding hay in the courtyard, and pasting the walls with wax...... After everything was ready, their whole army withdrew from the Yan-division and hid their troops into the mountain. Only Kou Zhong was left behind, and they led a small team of men and horses to be responsible for setting the fire.
"It would be nice if the old thief Li Mi personally led the troops into the city," Kou Zhong, who was lying on the roof in a night suit, licked the corners of his mouth. sneered: "Xiaoling and I have been on the head for so long, we always have to repay one or two......"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Li Mi is a grandmaster-level master, and it is impossible for him to be burned to death by fire." At the same time, he has always spared his life, such an empty city is placed here, there will obviously be ambushes, and he will never dare to be a pioneer. β
The sound of horses' hooves sounded from far to near, Li Mi's vanguard army finally entered the city, and the person leading the troops was actually their old acquaintance Li Tianfan, which was really a good opportunity for revenge from God. After a number of sentries rode around the city to investigate, the Wagang army finally entered the city in batches, and they first took control of the city gates on all sides, and began to search people's houses from house to house to prevent the hidden soldiers. And just in case, Li Mi also personally led some men and horses to be stationed outside the city, especially in the direction of Bishan, which shows that he is indeed rich in combat experience, and he is worthy of being the most powerful warlord.
However, at this moment, the overwhelming fire burned in the city, and Kou Zhong and the others led their troops to recapture the other three city gates in the direction of Li Mi, and blocked the city gates with large stones that had been prepared long ago, forcing the soldiers and horses in the city to flee to the only exit.
Li Tianfan was both shocked and angry, he immediately decided to command the soldiers and horses to leave the city in an orderly manner, after all, the fire still needed time to spread, if they messed up and trampled on each other, it would only lead to the enemy's way. Seeing that Li Tianfan's personal soldiers had just had some effect in suppressing the chaotic soldiers, a feather arrow suddenly jumped silently behind Li Tianfan's back, in the shock and fear of the soldiers, Li Tianfan, who was also a congenital master, was shot by an arrow without resistance, he was stunned and returned, and saw Kou Zhong standing proudly on the roof, holding a strong bow, and laughing a little cruelly.
"It's you!" Li Tianfan was unwilling, but the meridians in his body had been thrown into chaos by the Pure Yang Supreme Gong True Qi attached to the arrow, and he couldn't move at all, so he could only lie on the ground and watch Kou Zhongfei jump down, holding a yellow treasure knife in his hand, and kill his own soldiers in a short time.
After a refreshing round of killing, Kou Zhong walked in front of Li Tianfan with a blood-dripping knife, stepped on the other party with one kick, and said with a proud smile: "Die in the hands of my wild boy, does Young Master Li Tianfan feel honored?" After finishing speaking, the knife fell in his hand, and his head rolled several times, and Li Tianfan's eyes were still wide open.
There was fire in front and a strong enemy in the back, and even their young master was beheaded by the enemy, and the ordinary soldiers were naturally confused. Even if they are not in chaos, their horses will be in chaos, and in this way, countless people will die in the fire and die in the horses.
Although there were quite a few generals who finally managed to break out of the sea of fire and flee outside the city, don't forget that Li Mi also led troops to be stationed outside the city. And Yang Gongqing also led the soldiers to kill just right, and for a while, the killing sound shook the sky, the swords and soldiers greeted each other, and the fire and blood were mixed together. Almost half the sky is red.
Li Mi had already strengthened his mind to gather the chaotic soldiers and commanded the soldiers and horses to meet the incoming enemy, but Kou Zhong and several of them came from the rear on horseback. Entering the formation, he once again disrupted the battle situation, and even threw Li Tianfan's head at Li Mi in the air. Li Mi, who lost his love and was shaken by the army's heart, finally couldn't bear it anymore, rode his horse to kill, and led hundreds of archers to behead Kou Zhong and them under the horse.
However, Kou Zhong and the others have the "man-horse integration technique", how can they be easy to chase?! They rode horses and led Li Mi and others to the left and right in the battlefield, plus Yang Gongqing's proper command, and finally the morale of the Wagang army was completely lost. Rivers of blood. And Li Mi, who only woke up after losing his troops and losing his generals, had no skills to return to the sky, and finally had to flee in the wilderness.
Kou Zhong and the others won this great victory, which relieved Luo Yang's urgent need. The one who laughed the most was of course Wang Shichong. However, it was Li Valve who picked up the cheapest one! Li Shimin was really treacherous enough, he quietly led his troops to attack Xingyang, and even intercepted and killed Li Mi in the middle of the road, and finally forced the once prosperous Wagang leader to surrender to Li Valve. It can be regarded as a huge gift to Li Yuan's emperor.
However, the generals of the Wagang Army were not wiped out by Li Valve. Many of them were the old generals of the former leader Zhai Rang, and now everyone knows that the "shadow assassin" Yang Xuyan is Li Valve's person, and the death of Zhai Rang can be regarded as having a connection with Li Mi and Li Valve, of course they are not willing to belong to Li Valve, and many people took advantage of the chaos to flee and simply went north to join the Dingyang army.
Li Mi finally fell, Wang Shichong was overjoyed, Li Valve and Ding Yang Jun both secretly laughed and picked up the cheap, but it was Kou Zhong who "raised his eyebrows" who gained the greatest prestige! In addition to Liu Yu's behind-the-scenes promotion and sparing no effort to hype. Kou Zhong's grassroots background obviously added countless favorability points to him, making him an inspirational idol for countless ordinary people. The limelight is far greater than others.
But in this way, Wang Shichong naturally couldn't sit still: who could bear that the generals and soldiers under his command were all idolized by another person? Even his Xi military advisor, Yang Gongqing, was full of praise for Kou Zhong...... How unreasonable!
########################################################
Outside Zheng Guogong's mansion, the sun is shining. However, Kou Zhongfang, who had just sent Liu Yu away, walked to the main entrance, but felt cold behind him out of thin air.
Wang Shichong's eldest son, Wang Xuanying, seemed to be about to go out, and he greeted Kou Zhong very kindly: "It turns out that Kou Junshi is back, come in, Cousin Shuni was still talking about you just now." β
Kou Zhong squinted, and suddenly felt that the gate of the Mansion was like the open mouth of a vicious beast, quietly waiting for his delicious little snack to walk in by himself! Taking a deep breath, Kou Zhong spread his voice far away with his internal strength, and said, "If Lord Guogong still remembers my love for you, please come out and see it!" He roared so loudly that almost half of the city could hear him.
Wang Xuanying was slightly stunned, then his face changed, he took a few steps back, and was protected by the soldiers in the palace, almost all of them pressed their weapons with their hands, and their eyes were guarded. Wang Xuanying sneered: "What is Master Kou doing, if there is any misunderstanding, we can talk slowly." β
The other party has obviously revealed his murderous intentions, and Kou Zhong, who has been mentioned by Liu Yu, also planned to make a big deal about it, and immediately smiled and said: "It turned out that the bird was hidden with a bow, and the rabbit was dead and the dog was cooked, and Wang Gongzhen taught me Kou Zhong to be cold!" β
Wang Xuanying and the others didn't wait for him to finish speaking, they showed their fox tails and showed their weapons one after another. Kou Zhong let out a long laugh again, and soared into the sky, and several masters immediately flew out of the Guogong Mansion, and they all took off to chase after him. Countless archers appeared from the tiled roofs of nearby buildings, and for a moment the murderous aura was permeated, and the shouts shook the sky.
How do you know that when Kou Zhong was less than two zhang high, he actually walked in the air, changing the straight up to an oblique sweep, this "Jin Yan Gong" stunt is really very unexpected, no one among the chasing soldiers has his ability to walk in the air, all chased over, rose to the sky two zhang away, but ordered hundreds of archers lying on the tile surface to throw rat bogeys, dare not release arrows.
Before Kou Zhong set foot on the ground, he had already pulled out of the well and the moon. Dozens of wolf-like guards of the Guogong Mansion were killed from all directions, and it seemed that it was about to become a melee. Kou Zhong knew that if he pestered these guards for a while, he would be encircled by the army, and even the Grand Master would not be able to escape the fate of fighting to the death.
In a moment, Kou Zhong wanted to get out of the secret passage, but he immediately thought of Xu Ziling and Bai Fenghan, if both of them took the secret passage, no matter who was in front of them and who was behind, it would be very fatal, especially when the pursuers were following behind...... Kou Zhong gritted his teeth. So he decided to break through the city gates! The moon in the well danced impenetrable, and Kou Zhong had been filled with murderous intentions at this time, but his mind was extremely sober. He must now not let the enemy entangle him and surround him, but take the enemy in a big circle, so as to avoid being pierced by random arrows......
Just as Kou Zhong was desperately fighting, on the other side, in a tavern on Tian-Jin Bridge, Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan, who were drinking wine leisurely, suddenly felt a hairy warning!
The wooden floor on the second floor where the two of them were located suddenly shattered, and a snake-like whip slipped up through the cracks. Even though Xu Ziling had already raised his breath and jumped up, he still wrapped the barbed whip around his ankle. The weapon that came from Ba Fenghan's side was a dust, but he was well prepared when the floor cracked. It was only dusted and the sleeves were swept away. The two fell to the ground, and the dust cleared a little, only to see clearly the person who attacked them - Xu Ziling's heart sank suddenly, because the person who took the lead turned out to be Li Shimin!
The one who made the whip wrap around Xu Ziling was the general of the Tiance Mansion, Wei Chi Jingde. Deal with this barbed whip. If he struggled hard, his feet would be almost finished, so instead of breaking free, Xu Ziling sucked the whip tightly with his true qi, and the barbs were close to the flesh and skin, but he didn't move, so naturally he couldn't hurt him.
The attack on Ba Fenghan was the female general of the Tiance Mansion, Red Whisk Girl, except for her and Wei Chi Jingde. There are still four other people by Li Shimin's side, namely Pang Yu, who is holding a three-foot green edge. The eldest grandson Wuji, who dressed as a Confucian in green clothes and had a jade flute on his back, Luo Shixin who held a knife and Shi Wanbao who carried a spear...... From this point of view, Li Shimin almost brought more than half of the masters of his Tiance Mansion to intercept and kill the two of them.
Xu Ziling glanced lightly at Wei Chi Jingde, who was holding back his strength and wanted to withdraw his weapon, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and then he swept towards Li Shimin, and asked in a deep voice: "Dare to ask Brother Shimin, who else is there besides Yang Xuyan who helped Wang Shichong deal with Kou Zhong?" β
In the messy tavern, Li Shimin stood with his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, Ziling's complexion is really better." Actually, I don't want to embarrass Ziling, as long as you can stay here for a while, I, Li Shimin, promise to let you leave unharmed. β
Xu Ziling sneered: "King Qin, when I was a three-year-old child? If you hadn't promised Wang Shichong that you could clean me up, how could Wang Shichong dare to deal with Kou Zhong rashly, wouldn't he be afraid that he would not be able to sleep peacefully in the future? β
Wang Shichong is accustomed to cronyism and small-bellied, so he has not recruited many masters, if it were not for Li Shimin and the generals of Tiance Mansion to help, he would never have done it to them so quickly. Besides, no one in the world knows that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are brothers in life and death, and it is strange that some of them have dropped one and let the other go, so they will not be retaliated by endless assassinations.
Li Shimin shook his head and smiled: "How can I, Li Shimin, be swayed by Wang Shichong?" Ziling still has this brother, I really want to make friends with you......"
Xu Ziling interrupted his "sincere" solicitation and asked, "Who else is there besides Yang Xuyan?" β
With Kou Zhong's current strength, Yang Xuyan alone can no longer take him down steadily, with Li Shimin's ruthlessness, will there be any troubles? Xu Ziling was really worried about Kou Zhong, he couldn't imagine how he would survive alone in this world without Kou Zhong......
Li Shimin's eyes were sad, and he sighed: "In addition to Brother Xuyan, there is still the second uncle of the younger brother, and Ziling should know that Brother Kou has no chance of surviving." It's better to stop here, and I can arrange for you to retrieve Brother Ko's body. "Li Shimin's second uncle is Li Shentong, the first master of Li Valve.
As soon as Xu Ziling stomped his foot, Yu Chi Jingde spat blood and flew out of his pale mouth - it turned out that the reason why Xu Ziling was going to talk so much nonsense just now was to secretly fill Yu Chi Jingde's whip with his cold as ice Shura Yin Evil Gong True Qi, and then remove the opponent's fighting power in an instant!
Ba Fenghan had already drawn his sword and killed Li Shimin at the same time, the two of them and the generals of Tiance Mansion were in a scuffle, Li Shimin turned around and left, and said gloomily: "I have no chance for each other, so I have to offend." His words immediately ignited the anger and fighting spirit that had accumulated to the limit on both sides.
Kou Zhong had already slaughtered bloodied at the Luoyang City Gate, which was closest to the Guogong Mansion, where thousands of archers had been ambushed, and with a long roar, he leaned up and shot towards the city wall like an arrow. Real arrows chased after him, "snorting". Kou Zhong's true qi changed, changing the oblique up to the oblique down, dozens of powerful arrows swept over his head, he swung his body like a gecko, stuck to the wall like a gecko, swung left and right all the way, waved his knife to protect himself, and finally "walked" to the battlement of the city wall. Roll over and jump in.
A long halberd stabbed suddenly, and Kou Zhong didn't look at it, his left foot propped up on the ground. The body swirled, and the moon in the well slashed out like lightning, unslashing the halberd and slashing at the enemyβand upon closer inspection, Kou Zhong recognized that the other party was a partial general named Yang Qing under Wang Shichong, who had had several times of pleasant conversation and side by side. At this time, the other party's face was full of helplessness, and he drew his spear and retreated, and Kou Zhong finally opened the blade diagonally. Sparing the man's life, he turned to another enemy, and he only felt sullen in his heart. I can't tell you what it's like.
Soldiers swarmed and the walls were in disarray. Kou Zhong shouted violently: "Death to those who stand in my way!" Jing Zhongyue spilled a large piece of knife light, killing more than a dozen people in a row, and this knife was the ruthless move of group killing that Kou Zhong had just understood. In desperate situations. Kou Zhong has unleashed his talent, intelligence, and understanding to the extreme! He jumped onto the other side of the battlement. It was about to fly out of the city: Sure enough, at this moment, two fierce and powerful sharp qi attacked from two directions.
Kou Zhong was horrified in his heart, although he had already guessed that Wang Shichong must be ready to take his life, but he didn't expect that there would be as many as two! At the same time, seven sharp arrows were shot at his back from the walls. The man with the sword is undoubtedly Yang Xuyan, and the other person is holding a strange-shaped weapon, and his martial arts are by no means much worse than Yang Xuyan.
When Kou Zhong finished playing. Seven sharp arrows fired by the defenders at the head of the wall from their bed crossbows had already arrived with the wind. In a flash of inspiration, Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Brother Assassin, don't come unharmed! His body swayed from side to side in the air a few times. Five sharp arrows flew close to him, but two of them were caught under his armpit - the fierce force helped Kou Zhong fly diagonally to avoid the killing moves of the two, which was regarded as saving his life. Kou Zhong then plunged into the water with an astonishing degree and threw a huge splash on the surface of the moat......
###########################################################
Through the magical telepathy between Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, they converged! As the son of the world, once the double dragon meets the wind and clouds, the increase in luck is not as simple as one plus one, not only has it exploded with two hundred percent of its combat power, but even the Ba Feng Han who followed them has also advanced to a realm.
In this way, those who are chasing them will fall into blood mold! Not only did Wang Shichong's generals kill three, but even the generals of Tiance Mansion who Li Shimin thought he was relying on were also disabled by Shuanglong! In the end, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Ba Fenghan escaped from Luoyang City in a happy mood and sneaked all the way to Peng-Cheng.
Peng-cheng is a strategic place to control the Tongji Canal, and it can be regarded as a prosperous town. But now, it seems to be desolate, like an undefended city, not only does it not have any banners of force on the city gates, but even half of the guards guarding the gates. The three of them entered the city in their original appearance, so they were invited to discuss matters by the people of the Pengliang Society after a short time, and after testing each other, they finally learned about the situation near Peng-Cheng from the mouths of the Pengliang Society.
It turns out that this Peng-cheng has gone through several hands, and the last master is Xu Yuanlang - this person is also a small anti-king who stirs up the water in the troubled times, he once bowed down to Li Mi when his power was at its peak, so he can safely guard most of the mountain-east, and the days can be regarded as free. It's just that the good times don't last long, Li Mi was defeated by Kou Zhong and Li Shimin successively, and Xu Yuanlang's backer is naturally gone.
As soon as Dou Jiande, who dominated Hebei and whose country name was "Xia", saw that Li Mi had collapsed, he immediately crossed the river with his army and attacked Rencheng, Xu Yuanlang's central base. It was Xu Yuanlang who could only hastily transfer the troops of Peng-Cheng and Liangjun to support, resulting in the weak defense of the two cities, and finally even the remaining hundreds of defenders slipped back home to farm, so Peng-Cheng and Liangjun became ownerless cities. How can no one take a fancy to such a big piece of fat? A team of Khitan robbers led by Brother Cave and Yu Wenhua, who had been depressed and wanted to make a comeback, all fell in love with Peng Liang and fought hard one after another......
The people of Peng-Cheng and Liangjun certainly did not want their hometowns to fall into the hands of these people, some fled to the countryside with their children, and some people pinned their hopes on the local powerful Peng Lianghui, hoping to expel the foreign captives and keep their homeland.
