Chapter VIII

This is the second day of Ren Pujia to Yunyang, this night of Yunyang is very quiet, two rounds of full moon, one round of static hanging in the sky, not moving, one round of shallow floating river heart, shimmering. In the small courtyard of the General's Mansion, Tao Chenmo stood quietly, the moonlight was like practice, reflecting his white clothes in the distance, he closed his eyes and felt that there was still a bit of gunpowder smoke in the quiet air after all.

After a long time, there were a few shuttle footsteps behind him, very light, but still a little harsh in this terrible silence of the night.

"If it weren't for the storm, this scene would be accompanied by Qin Se Jinbo." The comer said slowly.

Tao Chenmo turned around, bowed slightly, and said, "Oh, Madame hasn't slept yet?" ”

Ren Pujia smiled and said: "The black clouds are pressing down on the city, and the general is worried about tens of thousands of people in Yunyang, how can Pujia enjoy peace alone." ”

Tao Chenmo was also thoughtful and said, "I also have something to say to my wife." ”

"The general commands."

"Yang Mingzhen may attack at any time, Yunyang City has limited troops, I am not very sure that Yunyang is foolproof, in order to protect Mrs. Safety, I have arranged for someone to escort Mrs. to Yuzhou, and I can leave tomorrow, I don't know what Mrs. wants?" Tao Chenmo said.

Ren Pujia was a little surprised, but she didn't have too much shock, and said firmly: "The general is a little biased in doing this. ”

Tao Chenmo was puzzled and asked, "What does Madame mean by this?" ”

Ren Pujia turned to Mingyue and said: "Pu Jia lives in Tongping, thinking of the weakness of the clan, all the way to Yunyang, seeing the Yunyang soldiers to have a sense of rebirth, I can continue to flee, but where to escape, in such a troubled world, how stable can Yuzhou be?" The soldiers of Yunyang swore to live and die with Yunyang, and the people of Yunyang also knew that the knife hung on their necks, and in the stormy world, how could Pu Jia be alone? The general sent me away, but what about the people of Yunyang? What about the Yunyang soldiers? I am no different from them, so how can I distinguish them? ”

Tao Chenmo smiled a little helplessly, and said: "I expect that Madame will be like this, Madame has to think clearly, if Yunyang City is broken, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to get out of the whole body, Yingying is young, what should she do?" ”

Speaking of Zeng Yingying, a little happiness appeared on Ren Pujia's face, but it soon disappeared without a trace, and said firmly: "Children in the city, there are more than a hundred thousand like Yingying, I fled from Tongping to here, and I have already felt guilty in my heart, and now I can only ask my subordinates to take care of her, Pujia has decided to advance and retreat with Yunyang, whether it is life or death, leave it to heaven." ”

Tao Chenmo has never been a strong person, although he himself is always pushed forward by the current situation, he knows that Ren Pujia is a person who understands righteousness, and he no longer persuades her when he sees that she has made up her mind, but he is inexplicably moved in his heart, and the women in the world are like this, but the important ministers in the court are more treacherous and cunning, and do not think about the suffering of the people.

"It can be seen that the generals of Yunyang Mansion trust the general so much that they don't seem to be too worried about everything that is going to happen, but I don't know what chance the general has in his heart?"

"Five points, no more." Tao Chenmo said slowly.

"Oh? I never thought that the general still had a five-point chance of winning in his heart, and Pu Jia thought that there were only one or two points. Ren Pujia was obviously surprised.

Tao Chenmo smiled slightly: "When Mrs. has not arrived, the end of the minister has no chance of winning, as soon as Mrs. arrives, with the help of Mrs., the end of the minister will have a five-point chance of winning." ”

Ren Pujia was also amused, and asked with a smile: "In addition to bringing a group of old and weak women and children to make trouble for the general, I really don't know where to help the general." ”

Tao Chenmo paced slowly in the moonlight, and said quietly: "The arrival of Madame allows me to have the most direct understanding of Yang Mingzhen, coupled with Madame's analysis, I can be sure that Yang Mingzhen urgently needs to break through Yunyang to contain the throat of Yuzhou, but he will never break the cauldron and sink the boat, just like Madame said, his roots are in Qianzhou, as long as we frustrate his spirit a little, with Yang Mingzhen's character, he will definitely do what he can, as long as he does not attack with the whole army, I will have a way to let him taste the bitterness." ”

Since Zeng Hong died in battle, Ren Pujia led the troops to fight against Yang Mingzhen alone for two years, she was not afraid of Yang Mingzhen, but she could always feel the threat of Yang Mingzhen, she was vigilant at any time, and did not dare to relax for a moment, but since she came to Yunyang, although it was only two days, this worry disappeared without a trace, even if she knew that Yang Mingzhen might come to the city at any time, but this peace of mind was natural, she suddenly understood the reason for the calmness of the Yunyang soldiers at a certain moment, because they had a calm and calm commander, who else would be me, But she didn't want to stay out of the situation herself, so she asked: "If the two armies go to war, I wonder if the general can let Pujia go into battle?" ”

Tao Chenmo looked at Ren Pujia, couldn't help but show appreciation, and said: "If everything is as I expected, there will inevitably be a battle under Yunyang City, Madame doesn't have to endure it for too long, but Madame is a guest from afar, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Madame to go to war." ”

Ren Pujia smiled: "I heard that the general is young and promising, and I didn't feel this way at first sight, just two days of seeing, Pujia gradually felt ashamed of himself, if I want to be less ashamed, I'm afraid I have to give two points of credit to your master." ”

"Mrs. has won the award, Mrs. has been fighting in Qianzhou for many years, and the ministers are mostly just talking on paper, if it is compared to killing the enemy, the end of the ministers is naturally incomparable, Mrs. has been molded in battle, should wait and see what I do." Tao Chenmo also smiled slightly.

Ren Pujia said: "If I were a man, I would definitely be able to match the general's righteousness and make great achievements in this troubled world." ”

"Madam, this is not necessary, how good is the body of my daughter, I think there are a lot of men in this city who can't wait to be their daughters to accompany General Tao." At this time, Wang Jinyi also smiled and entered the courtyard.

When Wang Jinyi said this, a certain string in Ren Pujia's heart seemed to be touched, and she couldn't help but blush a little.

Tao Chenmo said with a smile: "General Wang didn't come here to make fun of me. ”

Wang Jinyi bowed slightly to the two of them and said, "The scout has come to report that Yang Mingzhen's troops have left for Yunyang today, and according to the calculation of the march at that time, they will arrive in Yunyang tomorrow." ”

"What kind of march?" Tao Chenmo asked.

"As the general expected, the soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way up the Yunshui River, all the way by land, should be to cross the Tibetan Mo Mountain, due to the limitation of ships, the waterway is only more than 10,000 people, and the land route has nearly 40,000." Wang Jinyi replied.

"Who's the manager?" Tao Chenmo continued to ask.

"The waterway holds the 'Wu' flag, and the land road holds the 'hundred' flag, so it is not yet possible to determine who is the commander and who is the vanguard." Wang Jinyi replied.

Hearing Wang Jinyi's report, Ren Pujia said with certainty: "The 'Wu' flag should be Wu Wentong, the 'hundred' flag should be Bai Ling, and Wu Wentong is Yang Mingzhen's wife and brother, so there is no doubt that the coach this time should be Wu Wentong, and Bai Ling should be the pioneer." ”

"I've heard of Bai Ling, but I haven't heard of this Wu Wentong." Tao Chen said at the end.

Ren Pujia continued: "Bai Ling, Li Xiu, and Cao Jingrong are the three fierce generals under Yang Mingzhen, Bai Ling is strong in martial arts and ruthless, and it is extremely difficult to deal with, and although Wu Wentong has some ability, he borrows more from Yang Mingzhen to take care of him, which is indeed insufficient compared to Bai Ling. ”

After listening to Wang Jinyi's report and Ren Pujia's analysis, he immediately summoned Wu Changqing and asked him to quickly distribute the information to Baiyangdu and Zangmo Mountain, and especially explained that Wang Liyang, who must be on the top of Zangmo Mountain, act according to the order and not fall in love with war.

At this time, it was already time, and there were nearly four hours before the end of tomorrow, and after the arrangements were made, Tao Chenmo returned to the room to rest for a while.

As if he had just closed his eyes, suddenly the door rattled, Tao Chenmo did not change his clothes, and immediately got up to open the door when he heard the sound, Wu Changqing hurriedly reported: "General, there is movement in Zangmo Mountain." "It's already time.

Tao Chen came to Yun'anmen immediately, and saw that the mountainside on the side of the mountain towards Yunyang was blazing, and Mrs. Pujia also rushed to hear the news and asked, "Bai Ling has broken through the top of the mountain?" ”

Tao Chenmo looked away and said, "This is General Wang conveying news to the city, and Bai Lingying is climbing the mountain at this moment. ”

Yunyang City is in the mountains, and the south of the city Yunshui has become a natural moat, if the Guizhou army wants to enter the city, either along the Yunshui upstream, or over the Tibetan Mo, Tao Chenmo according to this arrangement of troops, first sent Wei Wenzhong to fortify in Baiyangdu, arrange catapults and fire oil, and then let Wang Liyang lead the troops to set up a secret card on the Tibetan Mo, prepare the mountain stone rolling wood, and wait for the Guizhou army.

As expected, Yang Mingzhen's troops really came along Yunshui and Zangmo Mountain in two ways, according to Tao Chenmo's arrangement, Wang Liyang watched day and night, and saw that the Qianjun was not in a hurry to climb the mountain, and when most of the people and horses boarded to the middle of the mountain, they ordered to attack, and the soldiers pushed down all the rocks and rolling trees that had been prepared for a long time, and the Qianjun army hanging in the middle of the mountain was in a dilemma, and he was not in a hurry to dodge in hesitation, only screams remained, but Bai Ling did not give up, and continued to order the soldiers to climb the mountain, but the mountain is high and the road is dangerous, how can it be so simple, Bai Ling angrily beheaded several retreating soldiers but failed to stop the retreating crowd, seeing that the situation was not good, he had to suspend the attack, several waves of attacks, he not only retreated to the foot of the mountain, but also suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and couldn't help but complain. At this time, the Baiyangdu, the Guizhou army was also miserable, Wei Wenzhong aimed at the first few ships with a catapult to throw the oil, and then the rockets were fired together, the hull was instantly swallowed by the flames, after the previous ship burned, the soldiers on the ship had to abandon the ship and flee for their lives, the Guizhou army was upstream, the abandoned ship was pushed down by the current instantly, and the ships behind were hit by the fire oil, the hull of this river resembled a well-arranged fire dragon, cruising down the river, poor Wu Wentong had to die before touching the inch of Yunyang.

And the Yun'an Gate is still silent, only the faint firelight in the distance flickering and dimming, Tao Chenmo is still looking into the distance fixedly, Wang Jinyi and Ren Pujia are left and right, and the three of them are silent.

But Yan Yu couldn't hold it down, and from the beginning, he hid behind everyone like chaff, seeing that there was no news after an hour had passed, he finally couldn't help but shudder and asked: "Brother Tao, why is there no news from the front, could it be .......?"

"Lord Yan, you just have to wait quietly, even if the Qianjun army is killed under Yunyang City, there are thousands of soldiers on top, you don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, why worry?" Wang Jinyi coldly interrupted Yan Yu's words.

Yan Yu snorted: "Yes, yes, with the generals here, there is no need to worry too much, but this Yunyang City is too quiet, and it is a little frightening." ”

"Lord Yan is the Yin of Yunyang Mansion, when Yunyang is in danger, the adult is here to boost morale, if the adults are afraid, then what should this Yunyang soldier do? How can you keep Yunyang? Tao Chenmo deliberately lowered his voice and said to Yan Yu seriously.

Hearing this, Yan Yu also felt that this was the case, so he cleared his throat again, raised his head and chested, but for a moment, he felt that he was still not suitable for staying in the city tower, everything was too quiet, so he was a little scared, and said: "This, morale boosting and other things, I think you are better at it, Brother Tao, I am ...... my age."

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Yan Yu instantly struck a spirit, Tao Chenmo and the others couldn't help but follow the prestige, only to see that in the blurred night light, a person and a horse came in a hurry, and when they arrived at the city gate, everyone saw clearly that it was a herald. Entering the city, the herald went straight to the city tower, Yan Yu's heart tightened, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, Tao Chenmo, who had been calm, also seemed a little impatient, but the herald was full of excitement, and when he saw everyone, he immediately knelt down and reported: "General Yu, Baiyangdu is victorious, the enemy general Wu Wentong has been defeated and fled, and General Wei has acted according to the plan." ”

At this time, Tao Chenmo finally had a trace of excitement, hurriedly helped up the herald, and said loudly: "Okay, you have made a good start for Yunyang, go down and rest."

Everyone on the city tower danced, especially Yan Yu, although he didn't know the specific situation, but the word "great victory" was enough to relax his tense nerves, and he couldn't help but look outside the city a few more times when he was excited, but he suddenly felt that it was not like that, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Tao, since you have won a great victory, why don't you see the Wenzhong brothers return to the city?" ”

Tao Chen said at the end: "The victory of Baiyangdu is just the beginning, and the danger of Yunyang City has not been lifted. ”

Hearing Tao Chenmo say this, Yan Yu instantly wilted again, he knew that Tao Chenmo was not joking with himself, because the excitement before Tao Chenmo was gone at this moment, Ren Pujia had been observing Tao Chenmo, his every move was in her eyes, she knew that although this young general had never shown timidity, but in fact, she was worried in her heart, she followed Tao Chenmo's eyes, the fire on the mountainside of the previous Tibet had faded at this moment, and the original shouting of killing had all returned to tranquility at this moment. She took a step to the left, leaned closer to Tao Chenmo, and said slowly: "Before the battle, the general was already five points sure, and at this moment, Baiyangdu has won a big victory, I wonder if the general has two more chances of winning in his heart?" ”

Tao Chenmo finally retracted his gaze and said, "Two points are not enough, but more than one point." ”

Ren Pujia smiled slightly: "The odds of winning are gradually increasing, and Yunyang will definitely be fine." ”

Tao Chenmo also smiled back and said: "There are soldiers in the front who are in the same heart, and there is a lady in the back, I hope so." ”

Ren Pujia once again set his eyes on Zang Mo and sighed: "But seeing the soldiers fighting in front of me, Pujia is watching in the city, this is the first time in these years, not to mention, I really have itchy hands." ”

Tao Chenmo said with a smile: "It's not a secret, I really want to see Madame's demeanor on the battlefield, but the time has not yet come, so I must have to wait." ”

The two of you said a word, but Yan Yu was very anxious, he saw that the two of them always said that there was something written, and he muttered in his heart for a long time, "I don't know how thick the sky is, I have burned my eyebrows as if nothing happened." ”

Tao Chenmo saw it clearly, so he asked Wu Changqing, "What time is it?" ”

"General, it's past time." Wu Changqing replied.

Tao Chenmo turned to Yan Yu and said, "Lord Yan, the hour is still early, you don't have to spend time here, go back to the mansion to rest first, if you still want to watch the battle, it is estimated that noon should not be bad." ”

"Ouch, I said Brother Tao, can this still be played until noon? I really can't afford to spend this old bone, but now that the situation is in crisis, I may not be able to rest peacefully this time. Yan Yu said with a sad face.

Tao Chenmo did not answer his words, but once again turned his gaze to Zangmo Mountain, as if to say to himself: "It is best to delay until noon, and it is better if it can be delayed until noon." ”

At this time, there were still two hours before noon, and it was useless for everyone to wait like this, so Tao Chenmo asked Yan Yu, Ren Pujia and others to go back to the house to rest, Yan Yu dragged two weak legs and returned to the mansion tremblingly under the support of everyone, and kept cursing Tao Chenmo for rushing with him, and since he came to Yunyang, this Yunyang City has never been peaceful.

Ren Pujia reluctantly returned to the mansion arranged for her by Tao Chenmo, and saw the old guard Liang who protected her all the way from a distance pacing at the gate of the mansion, Ren Pujia greeted: "Uncle Liang, why don't you rest in the mansion?" ”

When Liang Yu saw Ren Pujia returning, he was immediately a lot more relaxed, and hurriedly asked, "Madam, how is the battle going?" ”

"Yunyang City has not ignited the slightest flames of war." Ren Pujia replied.

Liang Yu felt a little incredible, but he also had to admit that since Ren Pujia went out, he was waiting outside the gate of the mansion, almost two hours had passed, and there was almost no sound in the whole city except for the watch, and he even had some doubts that this Yang Mingzhen might not attack Yunyang at all.

Entering the mansion, Liang Yuan was going to get some hot water for Ren Pujia to go back to the room to rest, but Ren Pujia signaled him not to use it, but sat on the stone steps in front of the door and looked at the night sky. At this moment, the sky has become white, but the moon has not yet hidden, and the sound of roosters is faint and faint.

The old guard Liang saw it really, but he didn't ask anything, he had guarded three government divisions, first the old palace division Zeng Chuanjie, to Zeng Hong, who died young, and then to Ren Pujia, he has long been accustomed to life and death, all this is nothing for him, but since Zeng Hong's death, the entire Tongping has fallen on the shoulders of Ren Pujia, a weak woman, every time he sees Ren Pujia running and working for the tribe, he feels extremely distressed, especially at this moment, far away in a foreign land, and still at war, he knows that this mansion must be homesick again, must have thought of the dead Zeng again, and thought of Tongping's father and fellow villagers, thinking of this, Liang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Ren Pujia still looked up at the night sky, pretending to be indifferent but couldn't hide her sadness and said: "Uncle Liang, no matter what happens in the future, you must take good care of Yingying, and find the best place in the remote countryside, yes, the more remote the better." ”

"Madam, what are you doing, we can still go, the world is so big, how can there be no place for us?" Liangqi can no longer hide the sadness in his heart.

Ren Pujia said lightly: "Pujia fled from Tongping is already ashamed of Tongping's father, Yunyang was kind enough to take us in when he was in danger, how can I be ungrateful now that Yunyang is in trouble, not to mention that part of the reason for Yang Mingzhen's attack on Yunyang is me, if I run away again, what is the difference between me and those who are greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”

Liang Yu hurriedly said: "But didn't Madam say that General Tao is five points sure that Bao Yunyang is safe?" ”

Ren Pujiatu showed a somewhat relieved expression again, and said: "With the general here, the Yunyang soldiers are at ease, but the general leads thousands of people, and there are tens of thousands of Yunyang people behind him, who knows that the general is not appeasing people's hearts?" The more I could not leave at this time, I wanted to trust him unreservedly like the soldiers, and I could see that although the general always looked confident, he was more anxious than anyone else. ”

"But Madame......"

"Uncle Liang, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I won't run away anymore no matter what, unless all the Yunyang soldiers are ordered to withdraw, I have decided to advance and retreat with the Yunyang soldiers, but, it's just that if Yunyang really can't keep it, you must remember to take care of Yingying, she may blame me, but when she grows up, she will definitely understand her mother's distress." Ren Pujia said very resolutely, but also a little helpless.

Liang Yu knew very well the character of her lord, a strong woman, and she was afraid that few people would be able to make her change her mind, so she stopped talking, but her heart was extremely sad.

Ren Pujia gently returned to the room, Zeng Yingying lay quietly on the bed, sleeping very soundly, maybe she dreamed of something fun, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, Ren Pujia sat on the bed, leaned over to kiss this hard-working but always optimistic and cheerful child, but was afraid of disturbing her dreams, Xiao Yingying seemed to feel the existence of her mother, and actually stretched out her soft little hand to wrap her arms around Ren Pujia's neck, and called "mother" in a daze, at this moment, Ren Pujia still couldn't hold back after all, two lines of tears rolled straight down like arrows off the string, She gently stroked her daughter's shoulders, and slowly took off the little hands that were holding her, Xiao Yingying turned over in a blur and continued to sleep sweetly, Ren Pujia didn't dare to linger any longer, hurriedly took the ancient ingot knife on the table and turned around and went out.

Outside the door, Liang Jia was still standing quietly, not too different from before, but there were two more sorrows in his eyes, Ren Pujia walked over and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said with a slight smile: "Uncle Liang, although I have made the worst plan, I still believe in General Tao, but in case, if something happens, you must help me take care of Yingying, if I can return to Tongping in the future......" Ren Pujia slowed down, "Forget it, Uncle Liang, I am sorry for you." After that, he didn't stay any longer and went straight out of the house.

People who have experienced too much always know what to say and what not to say, what to say and what to say and what not to say, so Liang Qi has endured without words, just kneeling in the direction of Ren Pujia's departure.

Yun'anmen, except for the sizzle of burning torches, everything is still very quiet.

Tao Chenmo sat quietly in the pavilion, closing his eyes and recuperating, he was waiting for a big battle.

Zangmo Mountain stretches for dozens of miles, Wang Liyang set up an ambush in the nearest mountain pass from Yunyang according to Tao Chenmo's deployment, Bai Ling's 40,000 army is violent, he never wanted to encounter a blow to the head, Bai Ling is unwilling to be humiliated, he wants to climb the mountain at the same point, and he will lose thousands, but after all, tens of thousands of people, plus Bai Ling is not a reckless man, he expected that the defenders on the top of Zangmo Mountain are limited, and after calming down, he decided to take a long way and attack back, Tao Chenmo also knew very well that he wanted to intercept tens of thousands of people with only 2,000 troops It was not beyond the reach of heavenly soldiers, so he ordered Wang Liyang to accept it when he saw the situation. Bai Ling led the army from far and near to finally climb to the top of the mountain, but there was no trace of the defenders on the top of the mountain, he thought that the Yunyang army knew the difficulty and retreated, standing on the top of the mountain, the lights of Yunyang City have come into view, Bai Ling was proud, and rushed to Yunyang left and right, everything should have gone well, but unexpectedly, going down the mountain is comparable to mountaineering, the mountain path has long been cut off, and he has to make a detour, but just into the jungle, it is a burst of screams, the Tibetan mountain trees are deep and dense, and the Yunyang soldiers have long been full of traps, the so-called once been bitten by a snake for ten years afraid of the well rope, The jungle full of traps made it difficult for Bai Ling to move an inch, although he was careful every step, he still hit the trick from time to time, and the pride of the right talent instantly turned into anger, and then into helplessness.

The tragic image in the Tibetan Mo Mountain does not seem to have anything to do with Yunyang at this moment, Tao Chenmo still closed his eyes and recuperated, Ren Pujia went up to the city tower and saw Wu Changqing standing outside the pavilion and knew that Tao Chenmo should be resting, so he did not go in to disturb, Wu Changqing did not ask Ren Pujia the reason for his arrival, but gently entered the pavilion and whispered: "General, Mrs. Pujia has arrived at the city tower." ”

Tao Chenmo was a little surprised, but he also understood very well, he knew the worries in Ren Pujia's heart at the moment, so he ordered Wu Changqing to invite Ren Pujia in.

"Why doesn't Madame go back to the house to rest?" Tao Chenmo asked with concern.

Ren Pujia said: "At the moment of the great enemy, Pujia can't sleep steadily, so it's better to wait with the general, just disturb the general." ”

Tao Chen said at the end: "Since Mrs. is so attentive, that's fine, but it's still early, you and I just need to wait." ”

Ren Pujia bowed slightly, and also sat down to recuperate.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and spies from outside the city came to report that the Bai Ling army had marched to the foot of the mountain, but there were many injuries. Tao Chenmo immediately left the city with his troops and waited for the battle. After Ren Pujia's repeated requests, Tao Chenmo finally agreed to put him on the battlefield.

From the beginning of the hour, Bai Ling's journey to Yunyang was noon, and his trip to Zangmo Mountain made him miserable, but what made him even more miserable was that according to the plan, he should join forces with Wu Wentong to fight at the foot of Zangmo Mountain, and when he was staggering in the forest, he blamed himself for not being able to arrive in time so that Wu Wentong could fight alone, and when he came down to the mountain, he found that Wu Wentong's army was defeated and fled, but it was so far that he could not return the same way, not to mention that although there were heavy casualties on this trip, there were still nearly 30,000 people who could fight, but he knew very well, According to the plan, it should be a quick battle, and the army food and grass are mostly in Wu Wentong's formation, at this moment, Wu Wentong is defeated and fled, and many soldiers have no will to fight, so the first thing he has to do is to stimulate morale, and the best way to motivate morale is to win first, thinking of this, Bai Ling came to the front of the Yunyang army with the moon hook halberd Cui Ma and shouted: "Bai Ling, the left vanguard of Dongxiang, seeks to fight General Yunyang Xuanwei." ”

Tao Chenmo's thoughts were the same as Bai Ling's, he knew that the Qian army at this moment had no morale, and he wanted to send another blow to the sluggish Qian army, so Bai Ling called for war and he came out of the battle. Ren Pujia hurriedly said: "Bai Ling's martial arts are strong and ruthless, the general is not armored, so you must be very careful." ”

Tao Chenmo said: "Madame, don't worry, the minister will come when he goes." "Kick the horse away.

The two of them looked at each other first, and Bai Ling said coldly: "Is General Yunyang a turtle with a shrunken head, he didn't dare to come to the battle and sent you a little doll." ”

Tao Chenmo said loudly: "Bai Ling, you can see clearly, this general is Tao Chenmo, the general of Yunyang Mansion. ”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Dayuan is really unpopular, the dignified General Xuanwei is actually a stinky kid, hahaha, Tao Chenmo, I will miss you when you are young, give you a chance, if you obediently let out of Yunyang City, you will be able to protect you from death." ”

Tao Chenmo was not angry, and smiled slightly: "General Bai is so angry, the general has been waiting in Yunyang City for a long time, but you are late, are you enjoying the scenery of my Yunyang?" I see that you are tired, so let's do it, Ben will also give you a chance, if you obediently order the left and right to abandon your weapons and surrender, Ben will be able to protect your life and others. ”

Tao Chen's last words stabbed Bai Ling's sore spot, he had been tortured in the Tibetan Mo Mountain, and at this moment, the anger in his heart exploded more and more, and he said sharply: "Ignorant child, take your life." With that, the horse rushed towards Tao Chenmo.

Tao Chenmo was not far behind, and immediately greeted him with a gun.

Bai Ling intended to hit with a blow, holding the halberd with both hands and concentrating all his strength towards Tao Chen's last heavenly spirit cover, Ren Pujia was frightened behind him, Tao Chenmo also knew that this move was powerful, but he did not raise his gun to block, but held a spear and stabbed Bai Ling's waist and abdomen, this so-called attack as defense, Bai Ling did not expect Tao Chenmo to make such a dangerous move, he could also not collect the offensive and compare the speed with Tao Chenmo, but even if he succeeded in a move, his waist and abdomen would be pierced, and he hurriedly retracted the offensive and turned it into a split, only to hear a loud sound of "bell", The guns and halberds struck each other, and the two of them came to try their ferocity, and after one move, they switched positions with each other. Bai Ling was surprised, he didn't expect that the white-faced scholar in front of him was not an ordinary person, Tao Chenmo was also shocked, his enrollment was surprisingly fast, where could ordinary people hide, this Bai Ling still took it after changing his moves, it seems that as Ren Pujia said, Bai Ling's martial arts are very strong.

The two of them knew the depth of their moves, and then they were more cautious, the two sides came and went, so after more than 30 moves, Bai Ling was obviously anxious, he wanted to hit with one blow, where did he think that the young man in white in front of him was so difficult, it was obviously not good for himself to consume it like this, and then he changed his tricks, cutting his head and stabbing his heart to make a fatal move, Tao Chenmo also felt that this person was ruthless, but he had excellent marksmanship, with his waist as the axis of high and low block, although Bai Ling was fierce but difficult to get close to. Immediately over the move, stable in the lower plate, attack on the upper body, if the horse is unstable, the offense and defense are unbalanced, Bai Ling has been on the battlefield for a long time and knows that it is powerful, and after more than ten rounds, he finally stared at Tao Chen's last gap, and made a posture to attack the lower plate, the halberd was sharpened, and the horse's spine was cut horizontally, the halberd blade was over, the horse's mane was broken, Tao Chen's last heart to protect the horse first pressed the horse's head to avoid the white spirit halberd, but after this moment, there was no way to fully protect his lower abdomen, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Tao Chen's last spirit moved his legs hard, and he rose up on the horse's back, and turned twice in the air, Seeing that Bai Ling's offensive was too fierce to defend, he held a gun with one hand and stabbed Bai Ling's left shoulder, Bai Ling wanted to use this move to break Tao Chen's last plate, and he almost succeeded, Tao Chen's last plate was lost, but he turned the danger into a cold and unguarded and won in the chaos A move attacked, Bai Ling's offensive was too fierce to dodge, only to hear a "wow" sound, Bai Ling's left shoulder pierced, and a strong thrust knocked him out of Zhangyuan, falling off the horse, Tao Chen's last dodge and attack and landed steadily on the horse, as if nothing happened. Ren Pujia and Wang Jinyi saw it clearly, and couldn't help but praise, Bai Ling fell off the horse and thought that Tao Chenmo would take the opportunity to ask for his life, but he saw Tao Chenmo sitting on the horse, and secretly shouted "Luckily" in his heart.

After this battle, Bai Ling's abacus failed, and the long-tormented soldiers behind him had no will to fight at this moment, Tao Chenmo took the opportunity to say loudly: "Bai Ling, I will give you another chance, if you give up your weapons and surrender left and right, I will be able to protect your life." ”

Bai Ling said coldly: "I have an army of 40,000, what if you injure me, even if I die on the battlefield, the soldiers will definitely set foot in Yunyang City." ”

Tao Chenmo knew that Bai Ling was just taking advantage of his tongue at the moment, so he said coldly: "Okay, I will keep your life first, and let you see how my Yunyang soldiers defeated your mourning soldiers." With that, he went straight back into the formation.

Bai Ling saw Tao Chenmo retreating left and right, and hurriedly came over to help him, and Bai Ling returned to the formation and hurriedly prepared to attack.

Tao Chenmo divided the remaining 3,000 soldiers in Yunyang City into three "return" phalanxes, the outer soldiers of the phalanx were equipped with short knives and shields as the shields of the phalanx, the soldiers of the second encirclement held spears to protect the shield hands, and the columns in the array were equipped with bows and arrows and broadswords. Tao Chen's last order, the three phalanxes advanced in the word "product", Tao Chenmo and Ren Pujia were in the first array, Wang Jinyi and Wu Changqing were separated from the left and right formations, and the three phalanxes were in the camp step by step, not hurrying or slow. The Qianjun army is mostly a tribal soldier reorganization, has always been rampage without formation, where have you seen such a scene, Bai Ling has read the book of war, naturally he has heard a thing or two, but he has always felt that the book of war is not very practical, so he has never practiced, seeing the Yunyang army in the formation of the intersection suddenly felt very momentum, but he has always pursued victory in the chaos, at this moment the Yunyang army is approaching and can not allow himself to think too much, so he simply ordered the left and right to rush and kill, and ordered that the enemy general can be promoted to three levels of gold, and there will be a brave man under the heavy reward, although everyone is not very powerful, but when they hear the words, they still take care of themselves and rush to kill, In an instant, the sound of killing under Yunyang City was everywhere, and the shouts shook the sky.

Tao Chen's last and ordered a rapid attack, waiting for the Guizhou army to approach before the order "put", the archers in the formation loose arrows away, rushed in front of the Guizhou army fell to the ground, because the two armies are not far apart, two rounds of arrow formations after the short army will be short-handed, the Yunyang army three formations have shields on the periphery, the second encirclement soldiers hold spears from the shield gap, the three formations are like hedgehogs to advance, the Guizhou army is not close to be pierced by the spear, bursts of screams, one after another, but after all, the Guizhou army is many, take turns to impact, the "back" formation is always loose, the Yunyang army is not in a hurry, If the shield hand really can't resist, they will leave the left and right to vacate the gap and let the enemy enter the formation, and then take the opportunity to seal the mouth to break the front and back, and the enemy soldiers who rushed into the formation entered the tiger's mouth, and before they could distinguish the left and right, they were hacked to death by the queue in the formation.

After passing through the Tibetan Moshan and his party, although Bai Ling suffered heavy losses, there were nearly 30,000 capable fighters in his hands, and after taking turns to rush and kill, the Yunyang army was a little physically exhausted, and Bai Ling was proud again, and he was in a hurry to speed up the killing. At this moment, the rear of the Qianjun army shouted and killed, and Bai Ling suddenly felt bad, and he didn't want to have reinforcements in this Yunyang City. It turned out that Wei Wenzhong and Wang Liyang did not return to the city after leading the troops out of the city, but lay down outside the city according to Tao Chenmo's deployment, and waited for Bai Ling to come down the mountain and then give him a front and rear attack.

The Qianjun rushed forward to kill the Yunyang army "back" the formation is difficult to move, a fierce battle is gaining the upper hand when I don't want to kill all the way behind me, thinking that the Yunyang reinforcements are coming, suddenly confused, some people want to continue to break through the defenders, some people are afraid of the loss of defense and retreat back, the Qianjun army suddenly chaos, a dilemma, Bai Ling loudly ordered the soldiers to divide into two roads according to the front and back, but the rear Yunyang army is really menacing and shouting killing The sound shook the sky, the Qianyang army has already run away Where can anyone still listen, Bai Ling secretly said "My life is resting", At this moment, Tao Chen finally saw that the time was ripe and scattered the formation, and began to rush forward quickly to kill, the morale of the Yunyang soldiers was high, and soon the Qian army was scattered, Wei Wenzhong and Wang Liyang held back outside the city for a long time, and at this moment they were wielding knives and dancing guns to slash left and right, and Ren Pujia was swimming like a snake with an ancient ingot knife, and his frustration was being wantonly vented at the moment.

In half an hour, the battle that originally seemed to be a huge disparity ended in the complete victory of the Yunyang army, the remnants of the Qianjun army either surrendered or fled, and Bai Ling also took advantage of the chaos to go down to Yunshui and fled in embarrassment.

Yang Mingzhen originally wanted to take Yunyang in one fell swoop to contain the throat of Yuzhou, but unexpectedly, the 50,000-strong army was almost wiped out. The news of Yunyang's victory soon spread to the imperial court, jubilant, for Dayuan, although Qianzhou has been lost, but at least Yuzhou is unharmed, Yuzhou is not lost, Zhongzhou Tai'an can sit back and relax, Emperor Song Ji praised Tao Chen's end, specially ordered to add a thousand stones, reward gold ten thousand taels, but at this moment Qin Yong seemed a little worried, his protégé Chu Chun'an was ordered to conquer Yang Mingzhen has been more than two months, not an inch of merit, never thought that Tao Chen's last nobody actually made war exploits with less victory and more skillful victory, thinking about it, he hurriedly wrote a letter, and quickly sent it to Chicheng, The gist of it is that Yang Mingzhen Yunyang was defeated and his vitality was greatly damaged, and Chu Chunan was asked to take the opportunity to use troops in Qianzhou to try to exterminate the remnants of Yang Mingzhen in one fell swoop.
