Chapter 417: Breaking the Camp

Zhu Wen may really not care about Qianniuwei escorting Li Ze's wife to escape. This person is fat, but he also said half-jokingly and half-self-deprecating that his big belly can accommodate the world, I am afraid that when he said this, there was a deeper meaning, that is, he was broad-minded and cared about the world.

As a real hero in the world, he has been planning since a very early age, brewing all this today, compared to his foresight and secret management, Zhang Zhongwu is much shallow.

Because Zhang Zhongwu was too superstitious about his own force, in the process of conquering the Khitan, this superstition even reached a surging point, so he was the first to raise the anti-flag.

It is no surprise that Zhang Zhongwu has now become a stepping stone for others, not only Li Ze's Wuwei Festival Town, but also Zhu Wen's Xuanwu Festival Town.

If you take Li Ze's wife, can you make Li Ze change his ways? Can you make Li Ze surrender to himself?

Naturally not.

Zhu Wen is also quite concerned about Li Ze's rise, deep in his heart, this young man, who is more than half younger than himself, is the same kind of person as himself from the root. The goal is firm and unyielding to achieve the goal, so if you want to threaten the other party with these tricks, I am afraid that it will be in vain.

If someone threatens him with his own family, he is afraid that his first reaction is to immediately raise troops and fight the other party on the battlefield.

So after getting the news, he laughed it off.

At this time, his attention should be on quickly taking Chang'an City, controlling Chang'an, and controlling the emperor. Then in Chang'an, the center of the world, to run their ultimate business. Therefore, the current Zhu Wen, while enjoying the concubines and concubines of the blessed king Li Xin in Luoyang City, is also constantly mobilizing the main army to march towards Chang'an.

As for the 5,000 Niu Wei who escorted Liu Ruyan? They need to pass through the half of the Zhaoyi region under their current control, in Weizhou, Zhu Youwen with 30,000 soldiers and horses, and in Luzhou, Tian Yue with 50,000 troops. Although these armies are all mixed armies of Zhaoyi and Weibo's armies, their combat effectiveness is actually not bad. Especially Wei Bo's army, as long as Tian Yue is properly integrated, they are very worthy of Zhu Wen's expectations.

Zhu Wen reused Tian Yue and Xue Jian, Xue Xiong, and Xue Chong, and used them to confront Hedong and Wuwei in Zhaoyi, and at the same time Zhu Youwen led 30,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Weizhou and guard the gate, while he himself commanded the main force of Xuanwu to attack Chang'an.

When he takes Chang'an, he will have a good talk with Wuwei Li Ze.

Therefore, it is naturally best to take down this fleeing army this time, and if they are really allowed to escape, Zhu Wen also thinks that it is no big deal.

It's just one less chip.

Zhu Wen thinks so, but it doesn't mean that Zhu Youwen thinks the same way.

Zhu Wen transferred his three sons to the vicinity of Luoyang, preparing to attack Chang'an, and placed Zhu Youwen in Weizhou to lead the army, from one aspect this is the value of Zhu Youwen's trust, giving him the opportunity to sit alone on one side, but on the other hand, it is not true that it deprived Zhu Youwen of the opportunity to enter the glory of Chang'an.

Zhu Youwen naturally has some small thoughts in his heart.

If there is a chance to win Li Ze's wife, son, and mother, for Zhu Youwen, this is also a great credit. Because when Zhu Wen analyzed the form of the world earlier, Li Ze was the enemy who was ranked first.

If these important figures can be taken down, it will naturally be extremely helpful for the great cause of Xuanwu in the future.

So after getting the news, Zhu Youwen rushed to Le'an with his troops as soon as possible. And Li Hai also crashed in at this time.

Li Hai originally thought that Le'an was a piece of fat, but now, it has become a boulder that he can't bite at all, and can even easily crush him.

However, there were more troops in the city, which provided him with a lot of convenience. The army led by Zhu Youwen was very miscellaneous, in addition to his own thousands of descendants, the rest were mostly Wei Bobing, Zhaoyi soldiers, and many imperial court Shence troops that were reorganized after the defeat and surrender of Zhaoyi's army.

Li Hai changed into a small soldier costume, during this time he was wandering, he cleaned himself up, his beard was tangled together, more or less covering some of his original appearance, and then after using cigarette ash to paint himself a little darker, people who were not very familiar with him were really difficult to recognize him for a while.

There is a clear chain of discrimination in this army. The Xuanwu Army is naturally high, they are also the descendants that Zhu Youwen relies on the most, followed by Wei Bobing, their combat effectiveness is outstanding, and Xuanwu can have today's power, Tian Chenghe's final decision played a great role, and they ranked second. Of course, the Zhaoyi soldiers can only be ranked third, and like the adapted Shence Army, they are at the bottom of the food chain.

This reorganized Shence army of about 3,000 people first acted as a coolie in Le'an.

The city wall was not enough, and after Zhu Lewen arrived, even though he ordered the construction of two large camps on the left and right outside the city, digging trenches and erecting fences, Zhu Youwen was ready to spend a day and a night to build a permanent strong camp outside the city.

Time is tight, the task is heavy, the people of Le'an and the three thousand Shence army were all sent outside the city, and they built day and night, Li Hai was sandwiched in Pei Yuanqing's team, and took the opportunity to blend into this team.

The chaotic environment did not make people notice Pei Yuanqing's sentry, and suddenly there were a lot of people, even if someone saw it, they probably would only think that it was from Weizhou's Shence Army.

Zhu Youwen calculated very well, but there was one thing he miscalculated, that is, the marching speed of the army led by Liu Ruyan. He estimated the speed of this Wuwei army by the distance of the Xuanwu army's advance in one day, but it was a big mistake.

And the miscalculation of time was that the last Zhen army mobilized by Zhu Youwei to arrive in Le'an, when it was still more than ten miles away from Le'an, it encountered a sudden attack by a thousand elite cavalry led by Liu Ruyan himself.

This Shence army, which was transferred by Zhu Youwen to prepare to act as a pioneer and dead soldier, has just been reorganized, and its combat effectiveness, cohesion, and centripetal force can be imagined. As soon as the two sides came into contact, the 3,000 divine army collapsed.

Liu Ruyan was not in a hurry to cut down these routed troops, but drove the cavalry and drove the rout army in the direction of Le'an like a sheep.

At this moment, under the city of Le'an, the left camp has been basically completed, while the right camp has not yet completed half of it. Li Hai, who was wielding a sledgehammer to plant a wooden fence in the ground, raised his head when he heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves and the deafening sound of golden drums above the city, and looked into the distance.

At this moment he was standing on a scaffold, but his vision was excellent, and he could see the form in the distance at a glance.

The black cavalry tide was on the periphery, and in front of them, the scattered red-clad Shence army was fleeing for its life.

Wu Wei Army!

Li Hai almost cried out excitedly.

The commander of the opposing army was obviously very experienced, and in an instant, he had already judged the reality of the two large battalions on the left and right, and at the sound of the horn, the cavalry immediately changed their formation and pressed thousands of routs towards the right battalion under construction.

"Array, array, prepare for battle!" Some officers rode horses and galloped back and forth on the still messy construction site, and the soldiers threw away their hoes and baskets and other tools one after another, pulled out the horizontal knives at their waists, and hurriedly began to line up. Many soldiers didn't even have any weapons other than a horizontal knife at their waists.

Li Hai looked at the big camp on the left, where there was a Wei Bo foot soldier, at this moment, in the rumbling drums, these Wei Bo soldiers had appeared in front of the fence in a group, the big shield stepped forward, the crossbowmen began to stretch their strings and arrows, and a Zhang Qiang crossbow was torn off the felt clothes on his body, revealing a hideous face.

Inside the array, the drums were beating, and where the city gate was wide open, Zhu Youwen personally led thousands of cavalry to rush out of the city.

Seeing the officers who were still running back and forth in the right camp to organize the army, Li Hai made a look, and gathered around him, including Pei Yuanqing, to block Li Hai behind him. Li Hai leaned down and took off the strong bow that looked inconspicuous with a rag wrapped in it.

Several feathered arrows flew out, and in the right battalion, several officers who were trying to organize the army fell to the ground one by one.

"The enemy is coming, run!" Li Hai, who was among the people, roared wildly, and ran backwards with Pei Yuanqing with their people.

The situation was already very chaotic, but because of Li Hai's turmoil, it was even more chaotic. All the soldiers looked at the rout of the enemy who was getting closer and closer not far away, and in an instant, they all ran towards the rear with Li Hai's group.

Some of the officers were frightened and angry, and drew their swords to stop them, but arrows flew out of the crowd, shooting them to the ground in an instant.

The right battalion blew up.

The routs rushed into the right camp without the slightest hindrance, and of course, with them rushed in, there were more than 1,000 cavalry led by Liu Ruyan himself.

Li Hai ran all the way to the city wall, found a proper corner to hide, Pei Yuanqing and more than 100 of his subordinates organized a small lineup, curled up in this dead corner. As a general, Li Hai's ability to choose places is extremely good. No matter how Liu Ruyan's side cavalry swept through the right battalion, it was impossible to take care of him.

Liu Ruyan's subordinates, who rushed into the camp, did not stop this time, but all the enemies who stood in their way were cut down by them.

The rapid collapse of the right battalion made Wei Bobing's previous arrangement instantly invalid, and their reaction too quickly became a problem at this time, and the Wuwei cavalry tore through the right battalion and rushed straight towards their left battalion from the side.

When Zhu Youwen was still a long distance from the other party, he watched as the black-armored cavalry crashed into the fence of the left battalion, and then poured in like a flood.
