Chapter 123: Opponents

Chen Kuan led 10,000 soldiers and horses to rescue Xiaoyu Suizhou, and Murong Ling also took Meng Crow, a grain and grass officer, and 10,000 horses to Wuchang.

Before the four of them went out of the city, they gathered in the suburbs, Chen Kuan looked at the three of them and sighed: "Everyone, today's emperor is no longer the king of Han in the past, I hope you will be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, so as not to cause trouble from your mouth!" ”

"Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, whoever becomes the emperor will be like this, this is the emperor!" Murong Ling smiled faintly, but he was very relieved

"Otherwise, King Han was originally pure-hearted, and since he befriended the people in the academy, he has learned some imperial power techniques, and I will not go to Xing here unless I am summoned, so as not to be charged when someone will be charged, and the whole family will be harmed in the future!" Xiang Xiaoyu pointed to the problem in one word.

"What do you want to do so much, the world has not yet been decided, but it is a small court, no matter how stupid the emperor is, he will not do the best of the birds at this time, the bow hides the cunning rabbit, and the dead lackeys cook that set" Meng Crow thought very openly, and tried to be happy again.

"You, you don't have a long memory, you won't now, it doesn't mean you won't in the future, by the way, Li Xiaofei doesn't know what errand he has been sent these days, if you meet him, remind him!" Chen Kuan hated Meng Crow a little, and he instructed everyone again.

"Fools have foolish blessings, don't worry about him" Meng Crow answered too quickly, and Murong Ling didn't have time to answer.

Murong Ling coughed: "Let's go, say goodbye today, I don't know when we will meet!" Take care, two! ”

Murong Ling and Meng Crow bowed to Chen Kuan to Xiao Yu, and Chen Kuan also returned the salute to Xiao Yu: "Take care, may you see you in peace in the future!" ”

The two armies on this side went east and south respectively, and He Wuji on Zhu Yaoshi's side surrounded Suizhou, digging soil and ditches every day, and sending troops to collect grain everywhere, but later it became a grain grab, forcing hundreds of people away.

On Wang Tiezhu's side, he failed to take Chenzhou for dozens of days, and the soldiers refused to attack the city after they had gold and silver property, so they had to lead troops to temporarily retreat to Tanzhou and station.

The envoys sent by He Wuji to Wang Tiezhu's army received Wang Tiezhu's gold and silver and ate wine and meat, but they failed to complete their mission, and several people were worried that they would be punished if they returned to He Wuji's army, so they simply went down the east of the river to Jinling.

As soon as several people were on the road, it was better to report to Pharmacist Zhu that the two marshals were not in harmony and that Wang Tiezhu had an attempt to establish himself as king, and the gold and silver he brought with him was the evidence, so that Pharmacist Zhu would be rewarded and exempted from punishment.

Several people reported that Zhu Yaoshi He Wuji was trapped in Suizhou, and Wang Tiezhu supported the army and bought people's hearts. Pharmacist Zhu refused to believe it at first, and several people took out the gold and silver in the baggage on their bodies: "Your Majesty, that Wang Tiezhu forced the gold and silver to me and waited, I really didn't dare to take it, but I was afraid that he would be killed, so I had to accept the gold and silver and come back to ask Your Majesty for death!" ”

As soon as Pharmacist Zhu saw the gold and silver all over the ground, he became suspicious: "Do you know that framing the right marshal is a capital crime!" What evidence is there other than gold and silver? ”

Several people had already summed up on the road, and then replied: "I'm not afraid of death, I'm only afraid of death in vain." Marshal Wang had already privately negotiated peace with the Liang army, and wanted to occupy Jiangnan and establish himself as king. The emperor can order him to capture Chenzhou, Wuchang and other places within a month, and he will most likely pass the buck and deceive."

Pharmacist Zhu paused for a while: "You go down, you take the gold and silver to enjoy, I have my own measure!" ”

A few people took the gold and silver and went back, and Zhu Yaoshi called his own soldiers: "You go and send an order to Wang Tiezhu, ordering him to capture Chenzhou Wuchang within a month, if you can't conquer it, I will drive the expedition in person!" Then send someone to urge Prime Minister Qiu Xingzhi and order him to levy 200,000 troops to move to Hebei within half a month! ”

In fact, the lies of these people were in the past, where could they deceive Zhu Yaoshi, but there was an accident in the north, and the Huaibei conscription had no effect for a long time, so Zhu Yaoshi was upset, so he didn't think deeply about the reason.

Qiu Xingzhi was also in a hurry, and many of the recruited soldiers fled, not because Qiu Xingzhi was harsh and brutal, but because of the place captured by Zhu Yaoshi before, in order to buy people's hearts, the rich and poor divided the land, and everyone had money and land, and they refused to go to the army to sell their lives. In addition, most of the people fled west and north with their money, and Qiu Xingzhi only collected less than 30,000 old and weak soldiers in a month.

Zhu Yaoshi's will was transmitted to Tanzhou, Wang Tiezhu felt tricky when he heard it, but he had to obey it, so he knelt down and took the edict and ordered the soldiers and horses to go north to fight Wuchang first.

Left and right persuaded Wang Tiezhu: "The emperor's edict must be suspicious of the marshal, and the marshal should make plans as soon as possible, otherwise he will definitely be punished in the future."

"The marshal has marched triumphantly all the way, and this time the emperor blames him, someone must have entered the slander"

"Marshal, in ancient times, all famous generals who made great contributions, in the end, the emperor had nothing to reward, only to kill, you have to be careful"

Wang Tiezhu, who was persuaded by everyone, was irritable, and wanted to beat these people to death indiscriminately, but they were all some of his fellow villagers and relatives who followed him, so he scolded: "I have followed the emperor for many years, and the emperor has always been clear in rewards and punishments to his subordinates, and the emperor will not kill heroes, you all shut up!" If you talk nonsense like this again, don't blame me for not being emotional! ”

Left and right sighed and retreated, leaving Wang Tiezhu to continue to arrange the march and formation.

When Wang Tiezhu's army came to Wuchang City, Murong Ling had already led a thousand ghost sheep cavalry to wait at the city gate.

As soon as Wang Tiezhu saw Murong Ling's eyebrows and eyes, he thought that he was the son of the family, so he raised his hammer and shouted with a smile: "Which son are you, don't you know the prestige of my Wang Tiezhu!" I can't bear to kill you because you are young, so you can quickly dismount and surrender, lest I splash blood with my hammer! ”

Murong Ling didn't answer, he pulled out his long knife and erected it, and Meng Crow shouted at the head of the city: "Wang Tiezhu, your prestige is too great, so God sent the Living Yama King to collect you today, if you are willing to dismount and surrender, I will let him cut you less!" ”

Wang Tiezhu pointed at Meng Crow: "You fat man, don't be rampant, wait for me to come into the city and pull out your tongue!" ”

Meng Crow was not to be outdone: "You ugly bastard, don't be rampant, wait for the living Hades to catch you and drill three times from under my crotch!" ”

Wang Tiezhu didn't answer anymore, and went to Murong Ling with a double hammer, and the ironclad cavalry around him also pressed over like a row of city walls.

Murong Ling swung his sword and rushed straight towards Wang Tiezhu, and many ghost sheep cavalry around him scattered to both sides, and the ironclad cavalry under Wang Tiezhu also separated men and horses from both wings to chase the Liang cavalry.

Wang Tiezhu knew that this Murong Ling dared to swing his knife to hedge, and he was somewhat pound-in, so he clenched his double hammer and prepared to knock Murong Ling's hammer to the ground with one blow.

Wang Tiezhu smashed down with a pair of iron hammers, blood splashed everywhere, Murong Ling's horse head was smashed to pieces, Murong Ling's toes resisted the copper hammer and jumped up and swung the knife to slash down, Wang Tiezhu withdrew the copper hammer in his hand with his left hand, and just hit Murong Ling's long knife.

A crisp impact sound came, Murong Ling jumped from the top of Wang Tiezhu's head and stabbed Wang Tiezhu in the back with a backhand, Wang Tiezhu bent down, and the copper hammer in his right hand backhanded back, just against the tip of Murong Ling's knife.

Murong Ling retracted the knife and took advantage of the situation to cut Wang Tiezhu's war horse from the back.

Wang Tiezhu had no choice but to abandon his horse and jump down to fight Murong Ling.

One is extremely dexterous and killing moves are flickering and moving, and the other is infinite power, both offensive and defensive, and can deal with it freely.

Meng Crow at the head of the city looked anxious: "Murong, can you do it, if you can't fight it back, don't be stoned to death, I don't have the ability to collect your body!" ”

Murong Ling ignored it and continued to look for an opportunity to kill Wang Tiezhu, but Wang Tiezhu used the double hammer as a shield and took all Murong Ling's moves.

But Wang Tiezhu's ironclad cavalry did not go well, and a part of the scattered ghost sheep cavalry led Wang Tiezhu's left and right wings of the ironclad cavalry for dozens of miles, and the war horses of the ironclad cavalry sweated and panted, and Murong Ling's cavalry saw the ironclad cavalry stop and walk back, and rushed over from behind to attack with arrows. The ghost sheep riders who stayed by Murong Ling's side used wooden forks and sticks, and the ironclad cavalry kept knocking down their horses, although they didn't kill a few people, it was difficult for the ironclad cavalry who were knocked off the horse to get on their horses again, and they became heavy infantry.

These ironclad cavalry can't catch up if they want to go, and they are always harassed when they want to go, and gradually the war horses can't support it, but after all, there are many people and longbows, and the ghost sheep ride is not hard.

These ghost sheep who led away the enemy army rode back to the battlefield and joined the cavalry around Murong Ling, and gradually grasped the initiative on the battlefield.

Fortunately, Wang Tiezhu's subordinates were not of a bad breed, and seeing that the battlefield began to reverse, the soldiers who had been knocked off their horses rushed towards Murong Ling one after another, blocking in front of Wang Tiezhu: "Marshal, go quickly!" ”

Wang Tiezhu saw that the situation was not good, and while everyone was fighting Murong Ling, he found a horse and took the remaining ironclad cavalry to attack the ghost sheep riding with a copper hammer.

The ghost sheep riders were all strong men, but they were not Wang Tiezhu's opponents, and they were knocked off their horses one after another.

After Murong Ling killed a group of soldiers who were pestering him, he saw that the ghost sheep ride had lost nearly 100 people, so he shouted: "Retreat!" Hurry back! ”

After getting Murong Ling's order, the ghost sheep rode quickly out of the battlefield and fled, Murong Ling grabbed a horse to pursue Wang Tiezhu, but Wang Tiezhu had gathered nearly a thousand people around him, and it was impossible to get close.

When Meng Crow saw that the ghost sheep rode away from the battlefield, he ordered the defenders of the city to fire a strong crossbow at Wang Tiezhu's army, and shot out dozens of spears at one time, nailing nearly a hundred ironclad cavalry to the ground.

Wang Tiezhu's military spirit also began to waver at this time, so he ordered to retreat.

When Murong Ling saw Wang Tiezhu withdrawing his troops, he quickly went to collect the ghost sheep and rode back to the city.

Meng Crow saw Murong Ling returning to the city, and hurriedly surrounded Murong Ling and looked carefully: "Murong, Murong, I didn't expect you to have today, if it weren't for my old Meng who fired a crossbow in time and they lost their guts, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back."

Murong Ling took a deep breath: "Thank you, I did meet an opponent today, this person is born with divine power and quick reactions, and he can actually draw with me!" ”

Meng Crow patted Murong Ling on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, the cavalry you brought is not bad, in the face of such a monster, you can still scatter their army, it's rare!" ”

Murong Ling looked at the remaining more than seven hundred ghost sheep riders: "Brothers, I underestimated the enemy, and I killed so many of you!" ”

The ghost sheep riders were silent, did not respond, and there were tears on their faces, after all, since they were formed, they have always beaten others very badly, but today they were killed by one person hundreds of people, and they were both angry and scared in their hearts, after all, they can only think about revenge. Even a master like Murong Ling can't have the upper hand, so what can they do.

Murong Ling saw that everyone didn't speak, so he got up and went over: "From now on, they are all guarding the city, except for me, don't go out of the city to fight!" If the city is broken, you will flee for your lives through the west gate, and I will hold back the enemy!" ”
