Chapter 214: Head on Blow
Ji Wen was so frightened that he fled in a panic, and Pang Yuan immediately wanted to lead someone to chase after him, but was stopped by Zhang Shumo.
"There are only a few thousand people on Ji Wen's side, which means that the enemy's army is in the city at the moment, and the big tea castle must be taken back no matter what!" Zhang Shumo gave a death order.
Pang Yuan and Pan Feng immediately turned around and rushed to the city gate with their soldiers.
At this time, Hao Yang happened to come out of the city gate with people, and Pang Yuan rushed over with his cavalry without saying a word. Hao Yang looked at the vast number of Wu Xiujun, and sighed in his heart, in his opinion, Ji Wen was probably already fierce.
So Hao Yang also launched a ruthless attack and rushed towards Pang Yuan with his subordinates. When the two met, Hao Yang suddenly waved his bronze twin Yue towards Pang Yuan's waist, Pang Yuan's eyebrows were sharpened, Hao Yang's Shuangyue was erected, and the two held each other.
"Where is my lord?" Hao Yang asked as he pressed down Pang Yuan's eyebrow knife.
Pang Yuan was riveted, the blue tendons on his forehead skyrocketed, and when Hao Yang asked, he shouted: "Open!" Directly picked Hao Yang's double Yue away, and then slashed at Hao Yang's arm. Hao Yang couldn't dodge, and his arm was directly cut by Pang Yuan.
"Your master has already fled with his tail between his legs, so don't you surrender soon!" Pang Yuan said at this time.
When Hao Yang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, since Ji Wen had fled, he had to find him quickly. So Hao Yang had no intention of fighting again, and immediately said to his subordinates: "Quick, follow me to find the prince!" ”
When Pang Yuan heard this, he immediately wanted to stop Hao Yang. At this time, Geng Li happened to take Jing Guotie to kill. Seeing this, Zhang Shumo immediately shouted: "Don't worry about those who escape, block the city gate, and don't let the opposing cavalry rush up." ”
So, Pang Yuan immediately led his subordinates to meet Geng Li again. Pan Feng also arrived in time with the infantry and surrounded Geng Li and others at the city gate.
Geng Li held the wolf's tooth halberd and fought with Pang Yuan, and after more than ten rounds, Geng Li knew that he was not Pang Yuan's opponent, and immediately led the cavalry to rush out from one side. But Pang Yuan would give him a chance to drag him to death, and he yelled at his subordinates in a hurry: "Quick, let's kill Pang Yuan together!" ”
Several Jingguo cavalry immediately surrounded Pang Yuan, and Geng Li took the opportunity to break through to the north with his men and horses. Due to the small number of Wu Xiu's army, Zhang Shumo did not dare to divide his troops to chase, so he could only concentrate his forces to recapture the city gate first.
At this time, the Great Tea Castle was already in chaos, and because the generals of Jingguo had broken through, the soldiers of Jingguo who had no command were like scattered sand. They only knew that Geng Li had withdrawn from the city, so they gathered on the main road and rushed out of the city.
Zhang Shumo looked at the corpses all over the city, his body trembled violently, and a wave of anger poured into his chest, letting out an angry roar: "From now on, there will be no enemy troops left in the city!" Kill me! ”
Hearing Zhang Shumo's order, the Wu Xiujun, who had long been unable to bear the anger in his heart, rushed forward against the enemy like a fierce beast. For a time, the big tea castle was full of killings, and blood flowed like a river!
At the same time, Liu Tiantian and Jiang Bin in the city also led their men to counterattack. The Jingguo soldiers who lost their fighting spirit were like fish meat under the front and rear attacks of the two armies, and they didn't understand it anyway, how could they be defeated in an instant when they obviously had a huge advantage?
The battle lasted for a day and a night, and the people only knew that the sound of killing gradually died down when the sun rose. Zhang Shumo greeted a ray of sunshine and bowed deeply to the people present: "Our home, keep it!" ”
On the other side, Geng Li escaped fifty miles and stopped at a Taoist temple. He was worried about Ji Wen's safety, so he sent a cavalry to secretly turn back and search along the way, and at the same time, he also gathered the rout soldiers who escaped from the Great Tea Castle here.
The cavalry scattered to search in various villages along the way, and happened to meet Hao Yang, who also came to search for Ji Wen, and everyone searched until dawn to find Ji Wen at the edge of a wood. It turned out that after Ji Wen escaped, he was worried that Zhang Shumo would send someone to chase him, so he hid in the woods and didn't dare to come out until dawn.
Hao Yang hurriedly stepped forward to ask for guilt, Ji Wen was hungry and sleepy at this time and had no intention of punishing, so he came to the Taoist temple under the protection of everyone. As soon as he entered the Taoist temple, Ji Wen ordered someone to make him some food, and after he devoured it, he fell asleep in the Taoist temple.
Geng Li had no choice but to order the soldiers to repair in the Taoist temple. It wasn't until noon that Ji Wen woke up and returned to Xiuwuzhi with the army.
Ji Wen went out with 40,000 soldiers, but when he returned, there were only 22,000 left, which made Ji Wen angry. He wanted to find out the reason for this defeat, and then punish the people involved. But I thought about it but I didn't have a clue.
Although Geng Li's siege was slower, before Zhang Shumo's troops arrived, they were still firmly in control of the situation after all, and they were almost about to take the big tea castle. Hao Yang has nothing to blame, after all, it was Ji Wen himself who sent him into the city, and even if Hao Yang didn't enter the city, it would not turn the tide of the war.
In this way, he can only blame Ji Wen for his own decision-making mistakes, knowing that there is an enemy army in the rear, but he still insists on attacking the big tea castle, and as a result, he was attacked by the opponent before and after, which led to this fiasco.
Thinking of this, Ji Wen was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, so he pulled out his sword and slashed it around the house.
At this time, Yang Xue came to ask Ji Wen for peace, wanting to find out how the battle was going. Seeing Ji Wen, who was thunderous, she knew that Zhang Shumo must have won.
When Ji Wen saw Yang Xue, he suddenly remembered Zhou Gang's words before he died. So he grabbed Yang Xue by the collar, pointed a sword at her, and asked viciously: "Say, why did you instigate me to kill the national teacher!" What are your intentions? ”
Yang Xue was stunned by Ji Wen's performance, and said with a slight cry: "Lord Wang, you scared the concubines." The concubines have no intentions, and the concubines are all guessed according to the wishes of the prince! ”
As soon as these words came out, Ji Wen was stunned. Only then did he realize that he had murderous thoughts on Zhou Gang, so he would listen to Yang Xue's plan, and in the final analysis, he killed Zhou Gang! For a while, remorse and grief gathered in Ji Wen's heart, which became the last straw that crushed him, and Ji Wen's heart completely collapsed!
"Ahh You are talking nonsense! Ji Wen let out an angry roar, and he threw Yang Xue to the ground: "It's all your fault, you killed the national teacher, I want you to die for the national teacher!" After speaking, a sword stabbed Yang Xue in the chest.
Yang Xue thought that Ji Wen was a little stimulated by the defeat and was going crazy, but he didn't expect that this time he really wanted to kill himself, so frightened that Yang Xue immediately rolled under the table to dodge this sword. At the same time, he kept shouting: "The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life!" The concubines are all unintentional! ”
Ji Wen ignored Yang Xue's plea for mercy, and slashed at the table with a sword, but because Ji Wen was not strong enough, the sword was stuck in the table. Ji Wen didn't even pull it out a few times, he threw away his sword angrily, climbed under the table, and dragged Yang Xue out fiercely: "If I don't kill you today, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in my heart!" ”
