"General Fu, if the time permits, you can resolutely send troops to capture the two cities in Jiangbei, but it just provokes the queen of Nan Chen, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to defend the two cities?" Lu Zhaolin said to Fu Gongshi with a hint of agitation.

"Huh! Please rest assured, if you capture two cities, you will never lose again, these two cities can be used as a springboard to pacify Nanchen in the future, and our army will benefit immensely. ”

"Good! After you return to Sanyang, you should consult with General Laihu'er. After saying this, Lu Zhaolin looked at Xue Wanche on the side and said: "General Xue, General Zuo, this marshal received the lord's command, and immediately launched the battle of attacking Qi County, this marshal ordered you to attack Qi County, Zuo Tian became the vanguard, and the whole army led 50,000 cavalry two days later, and immediately went north to attack the two cities of Zichuan and Zibo a hundred miles away, and the marshal led the army to follow up. ”

"The last general received the order, and the troops were sent in two days." Xue Wanche and Zuo Tiancheng got up and gave their hands in response.

"General Fu Gongyou, your Xuzhou soldiers are a little thin, this time the commander will transfer General Wu Bao and 20,000 horses to guard Xuzhou with you. Your Xuzhou is not far from Rencheng in Lu County, when you defend Rencheng Shan Xiongxin to attack, if only Shan Xiongxin and other brave and unscrupulous people are not afraid, but he still has resourceful people like Xu Maogong, and he can't be underestimated. Lu Zhaolin said to Fu Gongyou again.

"Dashuai, plus the original 20,000 defenders in Xuzhou, there are 40,000, and there is General Wu Bao to lead, it is enough to hold Xuzhou without losing, even if Xu Maogong comes, the last general will not be able to hold out, and he is expected to be unable to, please rest assured."

"Good! General Wu Bao should obey orders and assist General Gongyou. Generals, if there is any uncertainty, please ask. If not, please prepare for yourself. ”

After hearing this, the generals in the palace discussed with each other a little, and then they all got up and bowed their hands and walked out of the marshal's mansion and returned to the camp.

Jinan Mansion.

"Smack!"

Tang Bi threw the teacup in his hand to the ground angrily, and asked with a wheez: "Your Zichuan is a big city, with 20,000 soldiers, and you haven't even held it for two days, what does this government want you for?" Come on! Take it down and decapitate it instantly. Tang Bi suddenly heard that Zichuan City, southeast of Qi County, had been attacked by Jianghuai Du Fuwei's troops, and he couldn't help but be furious. To behead the Zichuan Taishou who fled back to show the public,

"Wait, keep people under the sword. Although there are 20,000 people defending the city in Zichuan, they are mainly soldiers who have not been in battle, and they are negligent in taking precautions when they are attacked by the enemy. "The chief bookkeeper Yin Yue came out of class and pleaded. This Zichuan Taishou was originally his proud protΓ©gΓ©, so he tried to exonerate him.

"Lord, although the incoming enemy is attacking from the direction of Langya, it is not the Langya Dufuwei Jianghuai Army! Judging from the banners, all the people and horses of the King of the Great Sui and Jin Dynasty are as many as 200,000 people, how can my small Zichuan City be the enemy? Please check it out! Zichuan He Taishou knelt on the ground and kept shouting.

"What? Are you saying that the enemy who came to attack was not the Jianghuai army, but the men and horses of Yang Guang, the king of Jin? How is this possible? Tang Bi was shocked when he heard this.

"Lord, the Jin army of 200,000 came to attack my Zichuan, although the lower official had 20,000 defenders, they struggled to support it for two days, and the city was lost. I have already seen that the banner of the Jin army outside the city is a "Lu", isn't it Yang Guang's dead friend Lu Zhaolin, who else? The one who led the army to attack my Zichuan City was its vanguard general Xue Wanche. Let's ask its 200,000 to my 20,000, who can keep it for two days? ”

"Hugh to quibble? For the sake of Lord Yin's book, spare you from dying, but the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, come on! Push out the cane blame 80. Tang Bi was so angry at this time that he couldn't listen to any explanation, so he wanted to punish He Taishou, who lost the southwest town of Zichuan City.

Outside the Shuaifu, the Chinese army listened to Tang Bi's order, rushed in, and several people rushed in to take the kneeling He Taishou out of the Shuaifu to be executed outside the Shuaifu. For a while, the screams came into the Shuaifu, and all the civil and military forces were miserable.

"Fujun, Zichuan has been lost, Zibo will inevitably be attacked, please send troops to help immediately." General Chu De came out of the class and admonished.

"Alas! If Zibo City is attacked, it should be at least 3 days, I don't know what the situation is? General Chu De immediately allocated 20,000 horses from the camp of the Chinese army in Jinan, and sent a powerful general to immediately rush to Zibo. ”

"The last general obeys!" Chu De listened to the order, and immediately turned around and walked out of the marshal's mansion to the barracks to transfer troops.

"Fujun, if Zibo City is lost, there will only be two cities in the southeast of my Jinan Mansion, Zhangqiu and Tingshan, and I should quickly send strong generals to guard these two cities!" Gao Keren shouted.

"Master Yin, this government orders you to lead an army of 50,000 to Zhangqiu and Tingshan City to fortify, and be sure to block the Jin army from attacking."

"Yes, my subordinates obey." The main book, Yin Yue, answered the order.

"Fujun, if there are 50,000 soldiers, then the defenders of Jinan Mansion will be insufficient!" Gao Keren said.

"Guarding Zhangqiu and Tingshan is like guarding my Jinan Mansion, and now there is no other way." Tang Bi said helplessly.

"This ---"

"Alas---"

The government discussion broke up unhappily, and all the civil and military officials couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing, but this Gao Keren looked especially panicked and ran straight to his own high mansion.

"What? The Jin army has already hit Zichuan and Zibo? ”

"Yes! Brother, don't delay the time, evacuate Jinan Mansion as soon as possible, I promise that everyone will not be able to leave the city if they are late. ”

"Brother Xian, don't panic, Brother Wei has already made arrangements, everything in the clan can quietly withdraw from the city tomorrow, Brother Wei will also go to Nanchen with the car, but when will Brother Xian get out?"

"Brother clan, tomorrow you will withdraw from Jinan City in pieces, don't disturb the other clans, the younger brother has to go to the north gate to catch up with the convoy, don't worry."

"That's it! Tomorrow I will leave the south gate for my brother, and I don't know when I will see you today? ”

"Brother, don't be sad, it's the key to protect my Gao family. The younger brother is goodbye to the clan brother, but as long as it is stable, he can send someone to Jinyang to find me. ”

"Virtuous Brother ---"

"Brother ---"

The two hugged each other and cried. Then, tears were shed.

After paying the heavy price of casualties, the anti-king rebels in the Central Plains finally crossed the five blocking passes set up by the Jin army in Luzhou in the mouth of the Hangu Pass Gorge. Luo Cheng's 3,000 White Horse Yi withdrew from the camp to Hangu Pass.

Luo Cheng witnessed 5 tragic battles in a row, and he was also physically and mentally exhausted at this time. The tragic battle situation made Luo Chengdu, who was weak by nature and like a stagnant water, almost collapsed, and the ten generals under his command and the officers and soldiers of the 3,000 White Horse Battalion were all shocked by the extremely bloody scene, even if the veterans of a hundred battles were almost heartbroken, and they could no longer fight.

"Little --- small gun, why --- retreat for ---? Isn't the --- of the dog's --- the dog's day ---retreated? Luo Shixin asked puzzled as he removed and threw out one of the eyeballs that had splashed on his helmet.

"Luo Zi, what do you see in front of you? Is there a whole corpse? What kind of battlefield is this? It's a human flesh mill! A certain --- is really impossible to face. There is no desire to fight again. Luo Cheng said almost collapsed.

"General Luo, withdraw! The rebels will not be attacking for a while. Wei Chigong didn't know when he came to this pass and said to Luo Cheng. In the face of the tragic situation, even Wei Chigong had palpitations.

"Withdraw! Withdraw to Sekijo. Luo Cheng ordered.

Although the five passes at the mouth of the Hangu Pass were broken through by Wang Shichong's allies, all the anti-Wang passes, including Wang Shichong, had completely collapsed. Under the continuous attack, although the number of dead and wounded soldiers was not large, the bloodshed that had not been seen in ancient times had already made the attacking anti-king army lose their hearts and no longer have the strength to fight. Who would dare to provoke that impermeable wall of fire? Even if the knife is on the neck, it can't make any soldier come forward to attack. Even if he is directly killed, he can save the whole corpse, and he doesn't want to go forward and break his bones.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do now? It's the final hurdle ahead. Wang Shichong said with a trembling voice.

"Alliance leader, most of my Yuzhou men and horses have been lost, and I have no strength to fight again. In addition, the army has run out of food, how can we fight again? Shen Faxing, the king of Ruyang in Yuzhou, who has always been belligerent, said weakly.

"Yes! My Bozhou army lost the general Zhen Zhai'er, and only one head was returned. I, Liu Wuzhou, have no strength to fight anymore. ”

"Can King Song Yi fight again?" Wang Shichong asked Caozhou Song Yi Wang Menghai to be fair.

"Damn, this king's concubines have been arrested, how can you have the heart to fight again?" Meng Haigong responded extremely depressed, which made Wang Shichong embarrassed.

"Hey! If all the kings and brothers can no longer fight, will they not wait for death? Wang Shichong saw that all the kings in the tent had no intention of fighting, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Lord Wang, our army has run out of food, how can we fight again?" Master Hu, a personal staff member beside Wang Shichong, whispered.

"Dog RD Yang Xuangan and Li Mi, if you hadn't robbed me of nearly half of my grain and grass, why would our army be like this? Lao Hu, is there a way for me to get out of this predicament? ”

"Lord Wang, you can kill the general's war horses for military rations, and conquer the last pass ahead in one go. If we can't break the level, we can only bow down. ”

"Ah--- this ---" The kings in the tent were shocked when they heard this, and looked at each other, and no one could do anything else.

"Alas! That's it. Princes kill horses to satisfy hunger, and fight against the water! Wang Shichong shouted bitterly.

And the kings had made their accounts, and each of them returned to his tent.

That night, Zhang Chengjin, the king of Qi in Mingzhou, quietly came to the tent of Lin Shihong, the king of Yucheng.

"Brother Lin, you and I originally had no enmity with Yang Guang, the king of Jin, why bother to fight with death, even if the king of Jin is lowered, he can also ensure that he is rich and noble."

"Yes! Brother Zhang. I thought I could take advantage of the chaos to become bigger, and I didn't want to be trapped here. Now that the grain and grass are cut off, there is a strong pass in front of it, and there are many firearms, how can we fight? ”

"Brother Lin, do you still want to accompany Wang Shichong to the funeral? If you and I don't descend tonight, then Hangu Pass has the Great Sui State Duke Han Baohu here, and my father also has a relationship with him, even if you and my juniors descend him, it is not an exaggeration, at least his life is safe. ”

"Hmmm! Okay, please ask Brother Zhang to send someone to Hangu Pass to negotiate the surrender, and you and I will surrender tonight. Lin Shihong said with determination.

"Good! Please wait for the good news here, and don't leak the news. ”

"Please, Brother Zhang!"

After Zhang Chengjin contacted Lin Shihong, he quietly returned to his account, and then sent a family member to Hangu Pass with the old man to meet the old prince Han Baohu.

For this kind of surrender, Li Jing can naturally accept it. Han Baohu asked the old pawn to go back and agreed to come down at the right time.

But when he arrived, Lin Shihong, the king of Yucheng in Songzhou, and Zhang Chengjin, the king of Qi in Mingzhou, bound themselves into Hangu Pass, and Han Baohu personally came forward to meet with these two sons and nephews, and after appeasing them, they were handed over to Li Jing's custody.

At dawn the next day, the anti-king army was like a frying pot. A total of more than 140,000 people from Lin Shihong, the king of Yucheng in Songzhou, and Zhang Chengjin, the king of Qi in Mingzhou, disappeared. How not to shock Wang Shichong and others?

"Alliance leader, now that the two kings have voted for the Jin army, how can we fight when the morale of the army is scattered?" Xiangzhou White Emperor Gao Tan Sheng said.

"There are still more than 300,000 of my kings and horses in one place, and the garrison of Hangu Pass is only 100,000. Wang Shichong exclaimed.

"Humph! If you don't dare to fight, you will go to a war. Tang Xian, the general of the Jinan Army, jumped up and shouted.

"Okay, you and I have two armies in one place, and more than 200,000 people can conquer Hangu Pass. After a full meal today, he attacked at noon. Wang Shichong said to Tang Xian.

"Good! Let my Jinan army be the front, and I will definitely be able to overcome this pass. ”

When the other kings in the tent heard this, they were silent, waiting only to see a good show.

On the Hangu Pass, Li Jingzheng, together with the old generals Han Baohu, Luo Cheng and other generals, looked at the anti-king camp in the distance.

"Old General Han, last night I came to the second king and said that there are still 350,000 horses among the kings outside the Guan, which should not be underestimated!" Li Jing whispered.

"Huh! The pass here cannot be overcome by a large number of people, and General Daoxing does not need to worry. ”

"Marshal, there are not many firearms in our army. If all the rebels come to attack, this ---"

"General Luo, don't worry, even if there are no firearms, we must stick to this pass. The rebels are running out of food and grass, and the rout is just around the corner. If I repel the first offensive with all my might, the rebels will surely collapse. Li Jing said with a calm face.

"That's it! I, the White Horse Righteous Battalion, would like to bear the brunt of the camp and guard the pass. ”

"Good! Your 3,000 men and horses quickly landed on the city, shooting all the firearms in your hands and trying to crush the rebels with a single blow and force them to surrender. Li Jing ordered.

"The last will obey." Luo Cheng said that he immediately went down to the city to mobilize the people of the headquarters to immediately change the defense.

Just after noon, the rebels who were feasting on the war horses in the army were headed by the Jinan army, and the Luoyang army was behind, rushing towards Hangu Pass. There are more than 200,000 people, and what meets the eyes of the defenders is a crowd of people who cover the sky and the sun, boundless, and occupy the open space in front of the pass. The hands of every soldier holding a crossbow on the wall couldn't help but tremble, but fortunately, there were generals Luo Cheng and Luo Shixin present. Otherwise, it is difficult to say that it will collapse first.

3,000 to 200,000!

"The army listened to the truth, listened to a certain order, fired all the crossbow fire and thunder arrows in their hands, and then threw all the sky-bombing grenades in their hands. If there are still enemy troops coming, they will fire crossbow arrows, and success or failure will be in one fell swoop. Luo Cheng shouted loudly to the 3,000 white horse righteous soldiers on the wall.

When the army heard this, they all looked grim and silent, but just put all kinds of weapons around them in front of them one by one, making a final fight.

Outside the wall, the Jinan army, under the urging of Tang Xian, ran closer and closer. Look at the 300 paces range.

"Hit ---," Luo Cheng shouted at the top of his throat.

As soon as the words fell, I saw the 3,000 white horse soldiers on the wall raising their crossbows and continuously launching the crossbow fire and thunder arrows. The sky was covered with fire, thunder and arrows, and it suddenly became dark, as if at the moment of entering hell.

"Boom---boom---boom---" The continuous explosion sounded, forming a wall of fire 300 paces outside the wall, and the rebels who touched the wall of fire were all shattered without exception. The attacking rebel offensive faltered.

However, the fire and thunder arrows in the hands of Bai Ma Yi from the battalion soldiers on the wall were originally not many, and each person could not launch two before the chime was depleted, and the wall of fire suddenly disappeared. The follow-up rebels, under the urging of the generals of all sides, began to surge forward again, and saw that they were about to come to the wall.
