After Li Xiaofei's stay, Wang Fu stayed with the remaining more than 1,000 people and stationed outside Wuchang City, waiting for the arrival of the three battalions of the South China Sea White Horse Battalion, the Dead Soldier Battalion, and the Sword and Shield Battalion.

Wang Yuanhua in Yuzhang City, at the instigation of the clansmen, took out half of the family property and dedicated it to the imperial court, in exchange for the title of Marquis of Hongnong, Wang Yuanhua was too old to go into battle, so he let his three sons set off with more than 1,000 people with the White Horse Camp.

The eldest son Wang Yaofu and the youngest son Wang Ban are both masters who can't be supported, and with the idea of going out to mix military merits, only the second son Wang Yaoyun, who has been studying abroad for many years, can be regarded as both literary and military, and he is familiar with military books and can lift a grinding plate of 300 catties with one hand.

Chen Jingyi originally looked down on these sons, so he ridiculed each other along the way, and tried a tie with Wang Yaoyun halfway before he looked at Wang Yaoyun differently.

Seeing that Wang Yaoyun was able to draw with Chen Jingyi, who had been in battle for a long time, Wang Yaofu and Wang Ban were even more incredible, and when they met people, they said how brave Wang Yaoyun was, and the two of them were resourceful, and they would definitely be able to pay homage to the marquis in the future.

Wang Yaoyun rarely spoke, and constantly asked Chen Jingyi and others on the march to learn the details of the march and battle, and became a regular customer with Chen Jingyi, Cai Guishan, and Yu Tao for a month.

In the days of waiting for Chen Jingyi and others, Li Xiaofei and Hua Xiaoan helped Wang Fu train the remaining 1,000 people, and 500 people left in a month.

Wang Fu was a little anxious, "Lord Li, there are fewer and fewer of our people, if this continues, the other teams will conquer the city, and we are still stopping here!" ”

"The prince of Chang'an County, the city that was laid first is not a city, and it is also for your grandfather's face to keep you, I don't want you to take someone to be cannon fodder! Chang'an City won't run there, and when my three battalions arrive, I will definitely help you conquer Chang'an City! ”

"But I heard that the son of the Xiao family has been laying down Xinyang for half a month! Xinye Dengzhou Yingchuan has also been taken by other families! We are still in Wuchang now, if they go to Chang'an, our Wang family will not even have a fief! ”

"Wang Tiezhu, He Wuji, and Zhong Zhiming in the north didn't move, these three people came at random, and none of the newly arrived cities could be saved! You can wait with peace of mind, after this month of training, your team has improved a lot, but it still lacks actual combat experience. There is too much difference between a grass cutter stake and a white knife in and a red knife out, and it takes courage to kill someone on the battlefield for the first time! ”

"Lord Li, to be honest, I think you are a little afraid of the enemy, you have won so many battles, you are still worried about how the enemy is, there will not be any of the dozens of rebel teams that can fight! The three famous generals of the Wei State you mentioned, I have also investigated their records, and that's it! ”

Li Xiaofei hated iron a little, this Wang Fu was impatient and underestimated that the enemy was too unbelievable, and then thinking about the other rebel teams, Li Xiaofei suddenly felt a chill.

Wang Tiezhu, He Wuji, and Zhong Zhiming have not heard from him for a month, and there has been no news from Zhu Asan in Sanjiangkou.

The progress of dozens of rebel armies was too smooth, and Liu Jian and Liu Mingge also found it incredible, and the imperial court had moved to Jiangling at this time.

After Liu Mingge received the secret report from the people in the Sword Tower, he met Liu Jian late at night and asked Liu Jian and a cadre of ministers to cross the river to Wuchang overnight.

According to the secret report, Wang Tiezhu led 300 people to raid Jiangling, preparing to take Liu Jianjunchen in one fell swoop.

Liu left briefly, but Cui Guangyuan objected, "Your Majesty can't trust the Cui family or me?" Even if Wang Tiezhu brings 30,000 people, we can hold it! Not to mention three hundred! ”

Liu Jian was accustomed to fleeing, and grabbed Cui Guangyuan with both hands, "General Cui, you should also go along, Mr. Liu thinks that the opponent to avoid is naturally not an idle person!" ”

Liu Mingge also pulled Cui Guangyuan, "Wang Tiezhu is invincible in the world, and the three hundred people he brought are all people with natural divine power and stunts, far from being comparable to ordinary dead soldiers!" Didn't the general hear the story of Wang Tiezhu leading 800 people to attack Jinling? ”

Cui Guangyuan was about to speak, when the fire broke out in the direction of the south gate, and the sound of killing was loud.

Wang Tiezhu has already broken in from the south gate, and next to Wang Tiezhu are two strong men carrying a giant axe to break the door, and Wang Tiezhu is still rushing to kill with a big copper hammer.

Liu Jianjunchen was about to go to the east gate, but Liu Mingge immediately stopped him, "Wang Tiezhu will definitely not let us out of the city, presumably there must be an ambush at the four gates!" At present, the only way to get out of the city is to set fire to the city and take advantage of the chaos! ”

Cui Guangyuan stomped his feet, "Hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangling City have been burned, how many people have to be homeless and buried in the fire!" Could it be that tens of thousands of horses in Gangneung City can't stop these 300 people? Beat the drums! I, Cui Guangyuan, will not burn the house if I die here today! ”

Cui Guangyuan ordered the drums to assemble a team to resist Wang Tiezhu, and Liu Mingge protected Liu Jian and retreated into a cave in the ground of a Taoist temple.

Cui Guangyuan's personal soldiers were also battle-hardened soldiers, and they were not afraid of Wang Tiezhu's onslaught, and in a few moments, they gathered fifty chariots and two thousand archers to besiege Wang Tiezhu.

Wang Tiezhu threw the copper hammer in his hand with all his might, smashing several chariots, two strong men took the giant axe horizontally, and the rest of the forty people connected their shields together, and none of the arrows could pass through.

Under the cover of the giant axe and shield, Wang Tiezhu gradually approached Cui Guangyuan.

Cui Guangyuan swung his sword and slashed at Wang Tiezhu, Wang Tiezhu jumped up and grabbed Cui Guangyuan's sword, and broke it hard, Cui Guangyuan abandoned his sword and jumped back into his own formation to take a spear and prepare to attack again, Wang Tiezhu shouted, "Crash over!" ”

The two strong men with the giant axe slammed into the chariot with the giant axe, and the two chariots in front immediately disintegrated, Cui Guangyuan also immediately threw the spear, and Cui Jiajun also followed Cui Guangyuan to throw the spear together, and the two strong men had more than a dozen spears in their bodies but they stood tall and continued to slash forward.

Wang Tiezhu jumped into the chariot pile behind, lifted a chariot with both hands and flew out, Cui Guangyuan saw that this scene knew that it could not be stopped, so he grabbed a horse, "Withdraw!" Don't die in vain! ”

When Cui Jiajun heard the order to withdraw, they left the battle and fled.

Fortunately, Wang Tiezhu's target was Liu Jian and them, which allowed Cui Guangyuan to escape.

There were eighty people in ambush at the north gate, the west gate and the east gate, and they were caught by a tripping horse trap when Liu Jianjunchen fled for his life.

In addition to Liu Mingge, Liu Jian, and Zhou Dapeng and Cui Guangyuan in the city, many ministers were captured not far after leaving the city.

Wang Tiezhu searched in the city all night, but never found Liu Jian, so he had to quietly leave with a group of captured ministers of the Liang Dynasty.

After Liu Jian escaped death, he immediately took Liu Mingge, Zhou Dapeng, and Cui Guangyuan across the river to Wuchang.

In Wuchang, everyone was shocked, and a series of bad news came from the front line, He Wuji Zhong Zhiming defeated dozens of rebel armies overnight, and many people who led the army and became the ghosts of the Wei army.

The hope that the righteous army could contain the main force of the Wei army had been completely shattered, and Liu Jian had to gather everyone to renegotiate countermeasures.

Cui Guangyuan still remembers the fight with Wang Tiezhu, "The Wei army is good at dismounting and foot fighting, if it weren't for them, they would be faster in order to attack."

Without heavy armor, it would be difficult for us to kill one of them! If the two armies face each other, and the Wei army is wearing heavy armor, and the sword can't be slashed into the spear, it will be even more dangerous! ”

"It looks like the Wei army is here to defend and fight in the streets of the city! Out of the city to fight, I'm afraid they will also use the rejection of horses to fight in close combat! To deal with this kind of hoplite, either fire attack or blunt weapon hit, they will not fail to set fire, and if you want blunt force blow, you have to have a chance to get close to them! "Li Xiaofei experienced the last battle with the Pei family's caravan and had his own experience in dealing with heavy infantry.

"In my opinion, the Wei army can only have heavy armor with these three hundred people, and the national strength of the Wei State is not enough to equip it on a large scale! So since they're on the west side, we might as well go and fight the east side! He beats him, we beat ours! Zhou Dapeng felt that he had to avoid the enemy's edge, and the persimmon was soft and pinched.

"But we still have dozens of civil and military officials captured by them! If you don't go to the rescue, you will laugh at the world! Liu Mingge felt that it was a pity that Li Jianshang was arrested, and as a court, he couldn't even protect his own important ministers, and his prestige would indeed be ruined!

"Now, who is rushing to chase Wang Tiezhu? What Prime Minister Liu Cheng said is very reasonable, but the problem is that we can't beat Wang Tiezhu! If someone can beat Wang Tiezhu, will I still have to cross the river to escape? Liu Jian felt that this time it was too much, but there was nothing to be done

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that they must not be able to go fast with dozens of civil and military officials! If we send people to tear down bridges along the road and flood the roads, maybe there will be a chance! Anyway, these ministers can't be taken to Luoyang! ”

Zhuang Xunshan, the imperial historian who was lucky not to be captured, said

"Doctor Zhuang, if I were Wang Tiezhu, I wouldn't escort people to Luoyang by land at all, I would definitely send people to go north with great fanfare, and I would go down the east of the river to Jinling by water!" Li Xiaofei immediately retorted

Before Zhuang Xunshan could continue to speak, Liu Jian spoke, "I think what Li Xiaofei said makes sense!" In order to verify this matter, I saw that General Cui and Li Xiaofei led people to continue the pursuit to the north, and Prime Minister Liu Cheng and Marshal Zhou intercepted and checked the passing ships on the river! ”

Li Xiaofei took the three battalions of men and horses that he had just arrived for a few days, as well as Wang Fu and Wang Yaoyun's men and horses, to cross the river and go north together, this time Wang Fu was no longer frivolous, first, the news of the defeat and death on the front line had too much impact on him, and second, Cui Guangyuan's story about Wang Tiezhu's 300 men breaking through Jiangling really frightened them along the way.

Along the way, even the brothers Wang Yaofu and Wang Ban, who have always liked to brag, were silent, and they regretted coming out to fight with them, Wang Tiezhu who came out of Cui Guangyuan's mouth was a monster.

Zhou Dapeng and Liu Mingge's interception took effect after a few days, Wang Tiezhu saw that there was an interception on the river, so he took his subordinates to abandon the ship and land and slipped north, and the captured ministers were not captured except for six people who were seriously injured and died, and the rest were not captured and taken to Jinling.

The first thing Li Jianshang did when he saw Liu Jian was to eat, he was starved by Wei Jun on the boat for five days, and Li Jianshang only eased up after eating two roast chickens and a steamed goose.

Liu Jian asked for warmth and concern, but Li Jianshang didn't care, but talked endlessly about the information he had discovered from Wei Jun's mouth.

Pharmacist Zhu is dying, this time the raid on Jiangling and the sweep of the rebel army were deployed by Pharmacist Zhu himself, and it is said that he was already unconscious after the deployment.

Liu Jian patted Li Jianshang on the back and smiled, "I knew that we should wait a little longer!" As soon as Zhu Yaoshi dies, the ministers of Wei will fight for the throne, and it will not be too late for us to march again! ”
