Chapter 220: The First Time the Two Kings Saw Each Calculation Zhu Dengcheng was mad and defeated

Sure enough, Liang Shitai and Luo Chengcheng saw Lai Hu'er scatter his 5,000 sergeants and defend a short section each. I saw that each sergeant took out black spherical iron eggs from his pouch and put them on the battlements of the city wall; He also took off the strangely shaped repeater hanging from his waist and placed it on his side along with the special crossbow arrows. Liang Shitai and Luo Cheng didn't know what it was, but they were stunned.

"Come to the general, the last 4,000 defenders are all archers, can you let them go to the city to help in the battle?" Liang Shitai asked. Because he didn't see that Bai Ma Yicong's soldiers had bows and arrows, and bows and arrows were essential weapons for defending the city, he couldn't help asking.

"No, these iron guys are enough. Then you two will see! Seeing that his subordinates were ready, Laihu'er also breathed a sigh of relief, just waiting for the arrival of the Luoyang mountain attackers who might appear at any time.

Wang Shichong, who easily did not leave Luoyang City, came to Luokou City, and there were 80,000 elite soldiers with him. Red Peach Mountain was recklessly 20,000 horses by Zhu Deng, with Li Mi as the military division to go down the mountain to help fight Luokou City, and at this time also entered Luokou City to gather with Wang Shichong.

In the mansion of the marshal of Luokou City, the two main generals and ministers from Wang Shichong and Zhu Deng gathered in one place, and they were easily taking Luokou City for a feast.

"General Zhu, I thought that there would be a big battle in this Luokou City, but I didn't want to take it so easily, and I didn't have time to use every soldier of the general. But the next battle against Wagang Mountain needs to rely more on the generals. Wang Shichong raised his wine glass and said with a smile to Zhu Deng, with a hint of contempt in his eyes. Wang Shichong secretly thought that if it was calculated according to generation, the young general Zhu Deng in front of him could only be counted as his grandchildren. If you let him be an equal to yourself, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

"Humph! Luokou Town, Wu Bao is incompetent, why should General Ben do it himself, the prince can take it with just one finger. If you want to fight Wagang Mountain and capture Yang Guang, the king of Jin, please be the pioneer at the end. Zhu Deng frowned and didn't look at Wang Shichong, but said coldly.

"Huh! Good! That Wu Bao has now escaped from Luokou, and the defeated soldiers will flee to Wagang, without further ado, tomorrow we will lead our troops to rush to Wagang and take him by surprise. General Zhu can be the vanguard, and the general will send his troops to the foot of Wagang Mountain tonight, and our army will arrive before noon tomorrow. Wang Shichong stomped the wine glass in his hand on the table, looked at Zhu Deng and said coldly.

"That being the case, it's not too late to drink this wine after taking Wagang Mountain, so I will go to prepare and send troops to Wagang overnight. Leave! Zhu Deng's temperament was like a fire, he could be stimulated by words, and after listening to Wang Shichong's contemptuous words, he suddenly became angry, got up and said, and turned around and left after arching his hand, leaving the Luoyang generals with a look of astonishment.

"Lord Wang, this son has a backbone in the back of his head! It is not like a person who lives under people, and the prince should be on guard as soon as possible. When Master Hu saw Zhu Deng leading his generals out of the Shuai Mansion, he couldn't help whispering in Wang Shichong's ear.

"Humph! The mountain of hearts has my food supply, and I am not afraid of his rebellion. Wild seeds that can't be raised! Wang Shichong said fiercely. This Zhu Deng is just the righteous son of his nephew Yang Xuangan, and he has no good feelings with himself.

"The prince should take this opportunity to weaken Zhu Deng's strength, if he is allowed to grow bigger with the Mountain of Hearts by his side, it will be of no benefit to me Luoyang!" Master Hu stroked his beard and closed his eyes slightly, and whispered.

"Mr. Hu, this king has already planned to do this, and letting him be the vanguard is to let him fight with Wagang first, and then talk about it after both sides are defeated, hehe!" Wang Shichong looked at Master Hu and said treacherously, and at the same time, he drank a glass of Chinese wine and smiled darkly.

Besides, after Zhu Deng walked out of Wang Shichong's mansion in a huff, he went straight to his military camp without saying a word.

Li Mi hurried a few steps to catch up and whispered: "King, why bother with the King of Luoyang? Now he is big and weak, and it is common for him to snort on others. ”

"Sir, there is no need to say more, the righteous father tolerates him, but this king can't tolerate it. Tonight, the troops will go straight to Wagang, and be sure to arrive at midnight tomorrow. If the king takes off the fat of Wagang first, he will only leave a bowl of soup for him to drink. Zhu Deng said in a deep voice.

"Alas! King, we still need to rely on the power of the King of Luoyang, and it is not good for us to turn around prematurely! Let's wait until after the beginning of spring next year. Li Mi persuaded with some anxiety.

"Don't worry, sir, this king knows it." Zhu Deng stopped, thought for a while, and then turned his head to Li Mi and said. Li Mi had to nod when he saw it, and didn't say much.

Here, Wang Shichong's wine banquet is dispersed, and the people will leave.

The night was already deep, the sky was starting to fall with light snowflakes again, and the temperature was even cooler. Because he was going to send troops tomorrow morning, Wang Shichong was not drunk or sleepy, leaving Master Hu, Yang Gongqing, the chief bookkeeper, and Sima Yang Note in the study, roasting the fire to discuss the matter of tomorrow's march.

"Lord Wang, when Zhu Deng didn't have time, he led the troops out of the city at night." Marching Sima Yang said.

"Huh! All right! Zhu Deng is in a hurry, and he will be defeated. Wang Shichong chuckled and said to everyone.

"Lord Wang, when will the whole army attack tomorrow?" Yang Gongqing, the chief bookkeeper, asked softly.

"Don't be in a hurry, let the soldiers rest for a night, send troops tomorrow at one o'clock, and arrive at Wagang before three o'clock."

"Huh? Didn't the prince say that he would arrive at Wagang before noon tomorrow, and this delay was postponed to three o'clock in the afternoon? Master Hu asked puzzled.

Zhu Deng was arrogant, so he had more time to understand how powerful Yang Guang was. Besides, even if there is no Zhu Deng to help in the battle, there will be no damage to our Luoyang army. ”

"Hehehehehe!" After listening to Wang Shichong's explanation, everyone laughed.

After a night of snowy travel, Zhu Deng's army of 20,000 finally arrived at Wagang City at half past nine in the morning.

"Order the whole army to rest for half an hour, and go out to the city with this king at noon to challenge."

"King, the Luoyang soldiers and horses are not far behind you, it's not too late to gather the Luoyang people and horses to fight!" Li Mi hurriedly stepped forward to suggest.

"Huh! Sir, before the arrival of the Luoyang soldiers, wouldn't it be more inspiring for the army to behead him first, so as not to underestimate him and me, please go down and arrange it! Zhu Deng didn't pay attention to Li Mi's advice at all, which made Li Mi a little dissatisfied in his heart and shook his head.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Zhu Deng's 20,000 soldiers regained their strength, and under the leadership of Zhu Deng and Li Mi, the whole army came to a stop one mile from the city.

"The Jin army in the city listen, I am Nanyang Zhu Deng, I am here to avenge my father, let Yang Guang come out to talk" Zhu Deng jumped forward with a spear and shouted loudly at the city.

"It's so imposing, come and let the last general go out of the city to fight him." Luo Chengzao, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, saw a white-robed young general come out of the battle to challenge, and after knowing that Zhu Deng listened to some words again, he couldn't help but go out of the city to fight.

"General Luo waits for a while, and will make a decision after informing the lord." Laihu'er hurriedly reassured, and at the same time, sent his henchman to the mountain to report.

Not long after, Yang Er, who got the news, appeared on the city gate tower, looked at Zhu Deng under the city and laughed: "Hehe! Ignorant boy Zhu Deng, this king is here, what do you have to say? ”

"Phew! The villain who hurts people with hidden arrows, do you see the banner behind this king? Zhu Deng jumped on the horse and pointed a gun at Yang Er on the city tower and scolded.

Behind him, a large banner is particularly eye-catching, with black letters on a white background, and eight big characters written on it: Petition for the people, avenge the father.

"Hehehehehe! Zhu Deng'er, you are "a toad yawning, such a big breath", your petition for the people is false, and it is true to avenge your father. Yes, your father Zhu Can repeatedly assassinated this king, first in the Lintong Valley was blinded by the king in the right eye, and then at the foot of Tsushima Mountain by the king opened hundreds of transparent holes in his body, and the death of the king's hand is his deserved. When the king sees you today, he knows that you will soon die. Yang Er also pointed at Zhu Deng under the city with a folding fan and scolded.

When Zhu Deng heard this, he was so angry that his eyebrows were upside down, the reins of the horse were tight, and the war horse under his crotch jumped on the spot and couldn't stop neighing.

"This king doesn't talk to you, dare to go out of the city to fight?"

"If you fight against this king, you will die! But it's not fun if you die early, and this king has his own generals to win you. ”

After that, he turned his head to Luo Chengdao, who had already been impatient: "Brother Luo Xian, just go and defeat him, don't hurt his life." This king still wants to keep him and add chaos to the king's world! Luo Zi, you also go with you, go back after covering up for 5 miles, remember not to be careless and kill Zhu Deng to this king. Lao Zuo, you also go and look at Luo Zi. ”

When the three generals heard this, they all laughed and walked away, as if they were under no pressure.

Wu Bao saw that there was a general going into battle, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to move away from the boulders blocking the city gate and open the city gate. Luo Cheng and other three generals took the lead, leading 4,000 cavalry to rush out and come to the front of the army. Although the Jin army has few people, they are all cavalry, holding long lance round shields, hanging horizontal knives at their waists, and they are extremely well trained, which is different from Zhu Deng's subordinates who are all scattered foot soldiers, mixing knives and guns, and some soldiers have nothing in their hands, and they crush the 20,000 rabble in Red Peach Mountain only in this momentum.

Seeing this, Li Mi's heart trembled, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Zhu Deng: "The king is careful, this general is Luo Cheng Shaobao, the son of Luo Yi, the king of Beiping. "Li Mi was originally from Liaodong, and he knew less Paul Cheng.

"Humph! Even if he is Luo Cheng, what is there to fear! The gentleman stepped back, and all three of them were taken by the king. At this time, Zhu Deng was eager for revenge, and he could listen to Li Mi's words. Relying on his skillful marksmanship and strong martial arts, he didn't take the three generals of the Jin Army who went out into battle in his eyes at all. After that, he urged the horse to rush out, and went straight to the young general Luo Cheng who came out with a gun.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng didn't stop his horse, and even slammed the saddle a few times, urging the little white dragon in the west to sit down and raise his gun to face the battle.

The two horses are staggered, and the battle is over in an instant. Neither of them hurt the other, except for a few clashing of weapons. The two white-robed young generals, both riding white horses, turned their horses and fought together. I saw two guns going back and forth, attacking and defending each other in the same place, the two horses jumped up and kicked each other with their front feet, and gradually everyone watching the battle couldn't tell who was who.

After 50 rounds of fighting between the two generals, one of them jumped out of the battle circle with a false shot and fled.

When everyone looked at it again, the general went straight to the side of the Red Peach Mountain, and they knew that the defeated person would be Zhu Deng. Luo Cheng didn't let it go, and hurriedly chased Zhu Deng into the Red Peach Mountain crowd formation.

Luo Shixin and Zuo Tiancheng behind him had already prepared, and when they saw that the main general had won, they hurriedly beat their horses, each raised a hammer and rushed towards the opponent's camp, and the 4,000 elite cavalry did not hesitate, all of them attacked with a lance.

When Li Mi saw it, he suddenly felt bad, and he didn't look back, so he turned his horse and hid behind the formation. At this time, the Red Peach Mountain Army was in chaos, and the sergeant in front of the head saw that the cavalry on the opposite side was rushing like a sea of mountains, and the long lance was about to pierce himself, and he turned his head and ran, and the slower minions were all pierced by the cavalry of the Jin army. The other minions were so frightened that they either fled for their lives, or abandoned their blades and surrendered on their knees.

Luo Shixin and the others didn't care about the people who surrendered on their knees, they only cared about covering up and killing all the way in the direction of Zhu Deng's defeat and retreat, but all those who did not surrender died with one blow, Er Luo fought in front, and Zuo Tiancheng only cared about chasing behind him, for fear that Er Luo would run away from his eyes and disappear and couldn't be contained. The matter of collecting and surrendering troops is responsible for the subordinate colonels behind Wei Chi Nan and Wei Chi Bei with flags.

There were 5 miles of land covered up by this gas, and Erluo killed no less than 1,000 people with guns and hammers, and countless people scattered and fled. If it weren't for Zuo Tiancheng's beckoning to stop, these thousands of cavalry would have cleaned up the 20,000 Red Peach Mountain bandits.

Killing happily and tiringly, Erluo panted and stopped his horse. When all the cavalry saw that the main general had stopped, they all reined in their horses and stopped pursuing. Looking at the remnants of Zhu Deng's army who were gradually fleeing away, all the cavalry of the Jin army, including the three generals, laughed wildly, and everyone was comparing who killed more people.

This is a completely asymmetrical battle, with cavalry versus infantry, or hastily assembled infantry lacking combat power. As a result, the Wagang cavalry was unscathed, killing more than 4,000 enemy soldiers and capturing more than 9,000 surrendered soldiers. Zhu Deng was also pierced through the right shoulder socket by Luo Cheng with a shot during Luo Cheng's engagement, if he hadn't deliberately spared his life, this shot would have been aimed at Zhu Deng's throat.

The remnants of Zhu Deng withdrew for more than 30 miles, and did not stop until they collided with Wang Shichong's army. Counting the remnants of the people, more than 3,000 people were scattered, and there were less than 3,000 soldiers left. Zhu Deng's right shoulder was hastily wrapped, and seeing that Wang Shichong was no longer arrogant, he bowed his head and went straight to the rear army, leaving Li Mi still reporting to Wang Shichong.

"Okay, Mr. Xuansui, don't say more, this king will let people collect the defeated soldiers for you, and Mr. will take the remnants to the rear army, and slowly follow my army." Wang Shichong said to Li Mi, and there was indeed a burst of joy in his heart. Seeing that Li Mi was gone, Wang Shichong and the generals around him also gloated and laughed, not taking the fiasco of friendly forces to heart.

The victorious army of Wagang returned to the cottage.

At this time, Yang Er came to the city gate to greet him. Luo Cheng came to his side, turned over and dismounted, took out an object from his arms and handed it to Yang Er, Yang Er took it and unfolded it, and immediately laughed: "Hehe! This is the "battle flag" that Juden displayed in front of this king? ”

The generals gathered at the gate saw this and burst into laughter.

"Zhong Jian, it's good for Brother Wei, next time if you see Zhu Deng'er again, take it out and shame his face." After speaking, he threw the flag to Zhong Jian behind him, and Zhong Jian took it and folded it and clamped it under his armpit.

"Brother--- brother! Why Luo --- small guns --- tips - all red--- red? --- --- of this hammer is all white--- ”

Yang Er suddenly heard Luo Shixin talking behind him, and when he turned his head, he just saw the sledgehammer that Luo Shixin handed to him. Seeing the white juice-like object stained on Luo Shixin's hammer surface, Yang Er suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, leaned over and vomited, and spit out two mouthfuls of porridge he ate in the morning, which was mixed with sweet potato grains.
