Chapter 614: Taking advantage of the chaos
When there was a mess of porridge in Zhending Fucheng, Huang Degong, who was sitting in Zhaozhou, was not idle, resting his men and horses, building defensive fortifications, and probing horses to detect intelligence everywhere, because Chang Yu had said when he left that it was possible that the thief army would attack the overall situation.
However, after waiting for a night and a day, the thief army did not move, but the movement of the Gongzi battalion and Li Chengdong's men and horses outside was not small, and I heard that they were fighting with several people, and they were made a mess within a radius of 100 miles, and at the same time, it also brought a news that the homeless people near Zhendingfu City were in chaos.
Huang Degong came to his senses, no wonder the thief army did not send troops to attack, it turned out that the backyard was on fire and had no time to do it for himself, and then he thought of how the displaced people were inexplicably causing chaos, whether it was the good propaganda of the officers and soldiers in recent days, or the little eunuch who left yesterday was fueled by the black hand behind the scenes.
"Lord Commander, the people of Zhendingfu City are in turmoil, this is a good opportunity, why don't you take the opportunity to send troops to attack and take advantage of the chaos to seize the city" The general Weng Zhiqi proposed, and everyone seconded it.
Huang Degong was a little entangled, at this time, he went deep into the hinterland of the thief army step by step crisis without a little eunuch army so that he did not dare to move, although he also saw that this fighter was also moved, and finally gritted his teeth: "Prepare for war, wait for the order to move!" ”
I don't know that when he was discussing with the generals for a long time, he sent a spy who secretly followed Chang Yu to report: "The little overseer wants to sneak back to the northern line, so that his troops can find an opportunity to move" Huang Degong was shocked, it is dangerous to go to the northern line, this little overseer really takes his life seriously.
At this time, he also knew that the civil unrest was indeed related to the little eunuch, and after hearing this, Huang Degong immediately ordered the mobilization of soldiers to prepare for the army.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for another spy to report, and the overseer's personal attendant, that is, the great immortal who was pretending to be a god, sent information and asked him to immediately send troops to take advantage of the chaos to take the Zhending Mansion.
Huang Degong was overjoyed, and immediately mobilized soldiers and horses, ordered Tian Xiong to lead 2,000 troops to defend the city, and led Ma Xiong, Ma Degong, Qiu Yue, Zhang Jie, Huang Ming, Chen Xiance, and Weng Zhiqi's seven troops to send troops north.
When going north to Luancheng (now Luancheng District, Shijiazhuang), I saw that there were not many displaced people, and I knew that it must be the people in the north who were in turmoil to attract the displaced people.
Huang Degong immediately led his own soldiers to go, but saw that it was an army of more than 2,000 thieves, and transferred troops to surround and kill, the thieves retreated, and captured the prisoners and tortured the men and horses who learned that the first successor of the thieves met again in order to search for the traces of the Gongzi camp.
It seems that there is a lot of movement in the Gongzi camp, and the people over there are in chaos, and the thief army still wants to search for them everywhere, which shows that there are many people who hate them, and Huang Degong immediately ordered to continue to go north.
After traveling more than ten miles, the spies came to report that a few miles northeast of the cavalry of hundreds of people approached, Huang Degong was about to order the general Qiu Yue to lead the troops to check, but saw that a group of men and horses in the army had already left the camp, but it was Tu Yuan's black tiger battalion.
Tu Yuan was left by Chang Yu in Zhaozhou to help fight, and he had nothing to do but brainwash his subordinates, and he was scolding his mother when he was free, thinking about why the four battalions of Dongchang had work to do, but he could only bask in the sun in this small city, and now he was finally ordered to go north, and he didn't have time to go before he encountered the thief army, and the thief army collapsed, screaming angrily, at this time, he heard the enemy, and he didn't wait for Huang Degong to order him to kill the past.
Huang Degong was speechless, this person is brave and invincible, and he is the henchman of the little overseer, but he can't beat it, but fortunately, the spies reported that the other party is only a few hundred people, and it should be a small group of thieves, and let him cool down.
I didn't know that Tu Yuan was going to come quickly, and by the way, he also brought that group of people over, it was Li Chengdong.
Li Chengdong was seconded by Chang Yu from Gao Jie, with ulterior motives, but on the surface, he valued it very much, and asked him to train a group of captives to investigate and collect intelligence near Zhaozhou.
Favored by the governor of Dongchang, Li Chengdong is also very hard-working, these days with a dozen henchmen in Zhaozhou to train prisoners, and then reconnoiter nearby, publicize the imperial court policy to bewitch and expel the displaced people, and even encounter a small group of thieves to go up to do it, but it is also prosperous, at this time he led five hundred captives from the northeast Gaocheng to come.
Gaocheng has become an ownerless city, there are no officials, no thieves, and even the homeless people have all gone, and they all followed the half-immortal to Zhendingfu City, but there is an army of thieves over there, nearly more than 10,000! Li Chengdong was very serious about reporting information to Huang Degong, but Huang Degong already knew everything about it and even more detailed, for example, he had learned that the thief army stationed on the bank of the Hutuo River more than ten miles east of Zhending Mansion was Gu Kecheng, and he also knew that Li Guo's army was on the way.
But Huang Degong obviously didn't expect the thief army to be waiting for him in such a formation on the Hutuo River, which started with the rout army under Ren Jirong before, and fled to Zhending City to report to Gu Kecheng and Ma Shiyao after the defeat.
Gu Kewei was entangled with the homeless people outside the city, and was shocked when he heard that the officers and soldiers were going north, and directly threw the burden of the homeless people to Ma Shiyao, why don't you hide in the city and worry, if this officer and soldier kills me, I will run away, so he ordered to set up a defensive line on the shore on the spot to wait for the arrival of the officers and soldiers.
And Ma Shiyao in the city is not a cool person, but also knows the truth of the cold lips and teeth, if the valley can be a failure, the officers and soldiers are the next to besiege the city, if they are not afraid on weekdays, the city wall is high and the city is full of food and grass, and there are many generals, but at this time the situation is very different, there are tens of thousands of homeless people outside to make trouble, so it was decided to send troops to help the war.
However, how could it be so easy to figure it out, Li Muxian saw that the officers and soldiers immediately summoned the homeless people to make room for them to fight on the riverside, and then bewitched the homeless people to besiege the city.
It is said that when Huang Degong arrived on the bank of the Hutuo River, it was noon, and he saw that the thief army was fortified on the opposite bank, but it was not as good as ordering his soldiers to rest and eat some dry food, and pointed to Zhendingfu City: "After the city is broken, there will be enough wine and meat for dinner!" ”
Half an hour later, Huang Degong ordered an attack, the two armies fought in the river, Ma Shiyao and Ren Jirong in the city watched the battle from afar, saw that Gu Kecheng was invincible, and immediately wanted to send troops out of the city to support, but found that they could not get out at all, and the displaced people blocked the city gate and did not give an inch.
This finally stepped on Ma Shiyao's bottom line, and ordered the roadblockers to be killed! The thieves were furious and resisted to kill people with knives, and the thieves were shocked to not expect the combat strength of the homeless people to be so brave, and they hurriedly withdrew from the city to make a decision.
Needless to say, those who had already been ambushed at the city gate to take the lead in the riot were the protectors of Chen Wangting and others, and they caused the homeless people to clamor for their actions: "The army has killed people, and the army has killed people...... Kill them, we also reversed" Tens of thousands of people were deliberately led by people with hearts, and under the roar, they really shocked Ma Shiyao and Ren Jirong in the city at a loss.
So there was a strange scene, the thief army in Zhending City could not come out, tens of thousands of homeless people under the city besieged the city and shouted to rebel, and the two armies on the bank of the Hutuo River a few miles south of the city were fighting.
Gu Kecheng rushed to face the battle, and saw that Ma Shiyao was not out of the city, and the shouts of the displaced people in the city shook the sky, not to mention that the army was disheartened, but he felt that he was lacking in confidence, and he was worried about the gains and losses, and those thieves suddenly rushed over to kill him, plus his strength was not advantageous, and Huang Degong calmly commanded the seven generals under his command, or charged head-on or flanked, and crossed the river from a distance to fight in a roundabout way, and defeated the thief army with only half a pillar of incense.
The rabble, but so, seeing its rout and escape Huang Degong mixed tastes, the thief army is not invincible, why the officers and soldiers are defeated when they encounter it, but they don't know that the big thing in the war is a momentum, when the thief army is crusading eastward, it is known as a million men and horses at every turn, and countless homeless people are violent, and the average person sees that it is indeed weak, the most important thing is that the officers and soldiers have no heart to fight, lack of food and salary, and no one is willing to work for the court anymore.
But now it is different, his military discipline has always been strict and thieves are not chaotic, although there was no shortage of food and salary before, but the little eunuch came out to face the matter of food and salary was easily solved, plus these days swept and advanced hundreds of miles, invincible army heart shock, morale is unprecedentedly high, that is, at the beginning of this battle, Huang Degong pointed to those displaced people outside Zhending City and said to the soldiers: "Those people are watching, if we cross the river, they will immediately be their own people!" ”
With so many of their own people at once, needless to say, the morale expansion rate is needless to say, and how can the thief army withstand the gains and losses, and they will be defeated and fled in a blink of an eye.
What Huang Degong said was right, the thief army here had just collapsed, and he led his troops to the north to chase and kill, while the displaced people who had gathered under the city rushed to the battlefield in a swarm, picking up the weapons on the ground and looting the silver on the corpses......
"From now on, we'll do it ourselves! They can call themselves righteous soldiers, why can't we? With weapons, Li Muxian's confidence is more sufficient, and the believers are also more clamoring, self-reliance, abundant food and clothing, and the roar is earth-shattering!
Ma Shiyao and Ren Jirong in the city were dumbfounded, so now there is another force?
