Chapter 645: Zhan Cangzhou

Several times to draw corners to urge the red sun, nothing to do in Cangzhou white smoke.

On the city wall of Cangzhou, Wang Zhen looked at the banners outside the city, and indeed felt a little "at a loss in the spring breeze and autumn moon".

He is still a literati in his bones, and since he was a child, he has read the sage books of loyalty to the monarch and the country. Now that his family and country have collapsed, he has single-handedly decided to abandon Jingshi and flee south with the son of heaven, and it is false to say that there is no pathos in his heart.

During the period of fleeing south, many people on the Chu Dynasty's side were scolding him, and many people on the Rui Dynasty's side began to praise his methods. It seems that the name of Wang Zhen is known to the world overnight.

Whether it is loyalty or treachery, merit or demerit, Wang Zhen actually cares about these. He is not like Wang Xiao, Wang Xiao looks stunned, but he doesn't care much about reputation in his bones. In comparison, Wang Zhen, as a literati, cherishes his wings more, he can be open-minded and scold the Chu Dynasty on weekdays, but when he really does it himself, he still feels guilty and painful.

But it's one thing to be unhappy, it's another to keep doing it. He lived to be thirty years old, and he was no longer unhappy for himself.

These days, he has barely supported and fled with half of the court, so far he has done everything he can, and the whole person is extremely tired.

Sun Baigu could see Wang Zhen's exhaustion, so he said: "You go to rest first, and if the war goes well, you will take Your Majesty to escape." ”

Wang Zhen shook her head.

"Although I don't know anything about the battle formation, I have to see it with my own eyes to be relieved."

Sun Baigu didn't persuade anymore, but just raised the clairvoyant mirror to look at the situation on the battlefield.

When they were in the capital, they did not rely on the strong city and cannons to defend it, and when they arrived in Cangzhou, they naturally would not be trapped in the lonely city. The tactics of this battle are very simple, that is, to fight with King Wu Yan. If you win, you will continue to run if you create an opportunity, and if you lose, you will withdraw and continue to fight.

Sun Baigu has made a promise to the soldiers, as long as they protect His Majesty across the Yellow River, everyone will be rewarded.

Now that it is getting closer and closer to the Yellow River, the morale of the Chu army is also rising.

In this battle, the mentality of the coaches of the two sides is not the same, for Sun Baigu, as long as His Majesty is there and the King of Qi is there, he is not afraid of defeat. But for King Wu Yan, every time he loses a battle, Emperor Chu may escape.

Not only are their mentality different, but their fighting spirit is also different, Sun Baigu lost Xuanda and lost the capital, and now he has nothing to lose except the Son of Heaven, so he has a high fighting spirit and is ready to die at any time; And King Wu Yan was still thinking about the reward, and he was still worried about which of the soldiers under his command was his own person and which one was Tang Zhongyuan's person.

Therefore, Sun Baigu has confidence......

~~

The trumpet sounded.

To the south of Cangzhou, the Guanning Iron Cavalry, as the vanguard, had rushed into the front line of King Wu Yan.

Although this iron cavalry returned from the Liaodong battlefield as a remnant army, they were still the strongest compared to the army in Guannei.

It can also be called a fierce general. Qinshan Lake, Lin Shaoyuan, Qinshan Canal, Qin Shanshui, Liu Yikou, Qin Xuanming...... A cadre of generals charged ahead, and when the weapons fell, blood splashed, as if killing gods.

At this time, although the number of Swiss troops in front of them was large, they were not the elite of the old battalion, but just ordinary soldiers, who could not resist their charge, and the front line had a tendency to collapse after half an hour.

On the battle platform, when King Wu Yan saw this scene, his face became gloomy.

"Father, I'm afraid these mud feet will scatter if you continue to fight. The child took the old battalion soldiers and horses to kill their spirit. Wu Tong stepped forward to ask Zhandao.

King Wu Yan shook his head.

He has been fighting with the officers and soldiers for many years, and he has his own set of tactics - taking people's lives to consume their physical strength.

"Put the 8,000 men on the right flank again."

Wu Tong understood that the 8,000 people were led by Tang Zhongyuan's henchman Tong Yang, and they were not distressed if they were killed or injured.

……

Tong Yang led 8,000 people into the battlefield, and the pressure on Guan Ning's iron cavalry suddenly increased. Even if they are elite, if they can't kill the enemy, they will run out of physical strength just by slashing and killing.

The number of the Rui army was already large, and with more fresh troops, the position stabilized, and the sharpness of the Chu Dynasty was gradually inferior to before.

But after fighting for an hour, Guan Ning's iron cavalry still killed the Rui army and there were faint signs of collapse.

Tong Yang was also brave, seeing this scene, he rushed forward and fought with Qin Xuanming.

He had the intention of killing a border army general to boost morale, and he was desperate with his sword and knife, and he was close to Qin Xuanming's vital point, vowing to take the opponent's head.

Qin Shanhu saw that his son was struggling, so he dialed a horse to save him.

Tong Yang made a few more moves with Qin Shanhu, knowing that he was not an opponent, he retreated to his own front line and began to retreat.

On the battle platform, King Wu Yan saw it and knew that Tongyang's men and horses would not be able to withstand it, so he transferred the left wing to support.

Qin Shanhu raised his eyes and saw the flag of the Swiss army flying, knowing that if the wheel battle continued like this, the Guanning Iron Cavalry would be dragged to death, and he slapped his horse and chased after Tong Yang.

Qin Shanshui and Qin Xuanming were nearby, and hurriedly followed, and the three of them broke into the Swiss army without fear. For a moment, I couldn't count how many knives and guns beckoned to them.

In the midst of the chaotic battle, Qin Shanhu's long knife swept away, sweeping away a piece of enemy soldiers with an unstoppable momentum, Qin Shanshui seized this fleeting opportunity, and threw the spear in his hand forward.

The brothers have been cooperating on the battlefield all year round, and I don't know how many times they have practiced this set of killing skills......

"General Tong is dead!"

There was an exclamation in the Swiss army.

Although they have also fought for so many years, most of the officers and soldiers they encountered were officers and soldiers in the Guannei, but it was rare to see such a fierce Chu general, and they were in a panic.

This scene fell in the eyes of King Wu Yan on the distant battle platform, and he knew that now was not the time to take care of his own men and horses, so he was busy pressing his old battalion soldiers and horses.

At this point, the Guanning Iron Cavalry was exhausted, and in the face of the third wave of enemy offensives, it was finally overwhelmed......

At the head of Cangzhou City, Sun Baigu saw that Guan Ningtie had less than 10,000 cavalry and was holding back the offensive of nearly 50,000 people, and he was slightly surprised, and military orders kept being issued.

The horn sounded, the east gate of Cangzhou City was opened, and a column of cavalry rushed out of the city, which was the Shenshu camp led by Gao Chengyi.

Instead of supporting the Guanning Iron Cavalry to the south, the Shenshu Battalion began to break through to the east. The horses' hooves rolled into the midst of the Swiss army, and another battle began.

King Wu Yan was slightly surprised.

"Sun Baigu, what is this going to do...... Why don't you support the south? ”

Meng Jiu said lightly: "He wants to break through from multiple sides, and see which side the situation is good, so he will protect the father and son of Emperor Chu and his son......

Sure enough, not long after, the west gate of Cangzhou was also opened, and this time it was Du Zheng and the Shenji Battalion who attacked westward, because the Shenji Battalion was mostly foot soldiers, and Sun Baigu also transferred a Xuanda cavalry to cooperate.

The three sides fought, and the vast world outside Cangzhou City was all caught in shouting and killing.

One by one, the soldiers struck the enemy with their weapons, bloody and tragic, and countless bloody scenes were built together, forming a magnificent battlefield of hundreds of thousands of troops.

……

King Wu Yan had cold sweat running down his forehead, and his pressure was increasing, even if he could win like this, he would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Tang Zhongyuan is now the Son of Heaven, and it doesn't matter if the subordinates die, they can still be conscripted again. But it will be difficult for King Wu Yan to recover his strength in the future, how can he recruit soldiers who are loyal to him and can fight in a short period of time?

But Sun Baigu was ruthless, and if he wanted to fight with him, he could only accept it.

At this time, there were still 50,000 people in the main force of his Chinese army, and more than 20,000 people in Sun Baigu. This is the last move of the coaches of both sides, and only by judging the direction in which Sun Baigu wants to break through can he dare to play the last card......

The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the land was stained with blood. Finally, on the eastern battlefield, the Shenshu camp was faintly defeated.

King Wu Yan turned his head, his gaze swept to the west, and shook his head.

- The Shenji Battalion is all foot soldiers, and it is not durable to fight, Sun Baigu will not choose to break through to the west.

He looked back at the battlefield of the Guanning Iron Cavalry to the south.

This is the best direction of the Chu army, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry is the strongest cavalry in the Chu army...... King Wu Yan had long believed that Sun Baigu had to choose this direction to break through, so he set up the camp in the south.

Now that the eastern Shenshu camp has been defeated, King Wu Yan is finally convinced of this judgment.

After another battle, the flag waved again on the head of Cangzhou City, the south gate was wide open, and the cavalry of the Xuanda army slowly left the city.

"Sure enough!" King Wu Yan said in his heart.

He turned his head to take a look, and saw that the battle situation on the east and west sides was very good, and he quickly ordered the main force of the old battalion to be pressed to the south battlefield, and a team was transferred from each side......

"Hold your breath." Meng Jiu narrowed his eyes and reminded.

"I'm the manager." King Wu Yan said proudly, with ruthlessness in his eyes.

On the battlefield, the Xuanda cavalry gradually ran and formed a charge.

King Wu Yan looked at it from afar, took a deep breath, and was a little nervous.

Suddenly.

"East!" Meng Jiu snorted in a low voice, and said in a fast tone: "Xuanda's foot did not come out, he must have gone east." ”

"Impossible, Guan Ning Iron Cavalry is the strongest, how can they be willing to ......" King Wu Yan still didn't believe it.

He was halfway through his mouth, but he saw that there were no soldiers of Xuan's army coming out of the southern city gate.

On the battlefield, the Xuanda cavalry suddenly turned around in the rapid charge and galloped towards the east!

"It's too late......"
