Chapter 32: The Great Defeat

Previous Chapter

Tai Shisheng glared at the Son of Heaven with his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Licheng was beyond his strength and failed to kill the minister, which really disappointed Your Majesty." ”

"Really?" The Son of Heaven chuckled, "Tai Shi Sheng, I will not be disappointed soon. ”

"Your Majesty is waiting for the Zan Zhou army to come in, right? The minister will tell His Majesty now that this Yinghui City is so impregnable that the Zhanzhou army will not be able to attack it at all! After speaking, Tai Shisheng left the main hall with the armor, and when he was about to walk out of the palace, he said to the armor: "Take care of the palace gates, without my permission, no one can enter or leave the palace, if there is an intruder, there will be no mercy!" ”

"No!"

Ling Yi looked at the marching map in the big tent of the Chinese army and frowned.

Situ Zhan entered the big tent and said, "General, General Taishi sent a battle report. ”

Ling Ju took the battle report, looked at it, tore it to shreds, and said angrily: "Wu Licheng dares to betray me!" I will not spare him. ”

"General, now Zong Yanxiao is attacking Yinghui City, we have to rush back as soon as possible." Situ Zhan said.

Ling Ju sighed and said, "I really didn't expect Cen Liangzhi to dare to attack Yinghui City, but Yinghui City is strong and will not fall into the hands of the Zhanzhou army. ”

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, if we lose Yinghui City, we won't have a place to live."

"Mr. Situ, I also want to go back, but I can't withdraw my troops now, as soon as the army withdraws, Yu Moyuan will definitely lead the army to chase after me, and we will suffer a big defeat at that time. For the sake of today's plan, only by breaking through the camp of the Ruizhou army earlier and defeating them can we retreat safely. ”

"We have attacked dozens of times, but we have not broken through the camp of the Ruizhou Army, and there is no way to do it."

Ling Ji thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Situ, you go and call all the generals and captains to the big tent of the Chinese army, go now." ”

After a while, the general and the lieutenant had arrived, and Ling Ju said to everyone: "Everyone, the thief general Zong Yanxiao is leading the army to attack Yinghui City, we must defeat the Ruizhou army as soon as possible, and then return to Yinghui City." Tonight, we will attack the camp of the Ruizhou army again, leaving hundreds of soldiers to guard the camp, and the other soldiers will all be killed with this general, and we will not be able to break the camp of the Ruizhou army tonight, we will not come back! ”

"The last general is willing to fight to the death with the Ruizhou army!" The generals shouted in unison.

In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Ruizhou Army, Yu Moyuan was discussing the war with everyone.

"Mr. Zuoqiu, my junior brother Zong Yanxiao is leading the Zhanzhou army to attack Yinghui City, do you say that Ling Ju will withdraw his troops back to Yinghui City?" Yu Moyuan asked.

Zuoqiu Hu smiled, touched his beard and said: "Right now, we can't hold on to Ling Ju, no one dares to lead the army to retreat first, whoever retreats first will suffer a big defeat, I think Ling Ju will definitely not withdraw his troops now." He must be thinking about defeating us as soon as possible before retreating to Yinghui City. Childe, Ling Ju will soon come to attack our large camp and tell the soldiers to strengthen their defense. ”

Yu Moyuan listened and nodded.

At the time of the third watch, the moon stars are scarce. Ling Ju led the army to kill the Ruizhou army, and Shangguan Huang saw Ling Ju rushing over with his troops, and ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”

The soldiers of the Ling army were shot down in a large area, but the soldiers behind continued to rush forward, and they soon rushed to the front of the camp wall again, and the soldiers on both sides each held their weapons in their hands, slashing and stabbing through the camp wall, and soon, the planks on the camp wall were pierced.

After two hours, the Ling army was still attacking, and Zuoqiu Hu said to Yu Moyuan: "Ling's attack on the camp this time is more fierce than usual, it seems that he doesn't plan to go back if he doesn't break through our camp." ”

As soon as the words fell, a soldier came over in a panic and said, "Childe, it's not good, the flank of our army's camp has been broken by the soldiers of the Ling army." ”

"What!" Yu Moyuan was taken aback, "Mr. Zuoqiu, you can ride a horse and retreat first." ”

Zuoqiu Hu shook his head and said, "Childe don't worry about me, I'm not a person who is powerless, I also learned swordsmanship when I was young, and today is just the right place to come in handy." ”

"Sir, the battlefield is dangerous, I'm afraid that you have something to lose, you better withdraw first."

Zuoqiu Hu smiled, pulled out his sword suddenly, and said, "Childe, I won't escape at this time. ”

Yu Mo saw this, and he was not persuading.

More and more soldiers of the Ling army rushed into the camp of the Ruizhou army, and the soldiers on both sides had no formation to speak of, they were all mixed together, and the blades looked even brighter under the moonlight.

Yu Moyuan jumped on his horse with a spear, rushed back and forth, and stabbed dozens of Ling soldiers to death, his armor stained with blood. Zuoqiu fought with his sword, and there was no fear on his face.

Shangguan Huang saw Ling Ju in the midst of the chaos, he wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, so he waved his gun and killed him, shouting loudly: "Ling Ju old thief, take your life!" ”

"The thief general Hugh is going to hurt the general!" At this time, the Fenwei general Tao Shanling killed him with two guns, and stood with Shangguan Huang, the two generals were both masters of making guns, and they couldn't tell the winner after forty or fifty rounds of fighting.

After all, the strength of the Ling army was more than that of the Ruizhou army, and at dawn, the Ruizhou army was inferior and could not resist. Seeing this, Yu Mo was about to order a retreat, when he suddenly saw Luan Yimian leading his army to kill him.

"Big brother, I will first go and capture the camp of Ling Ju and burn all his grain and grass." Luan Yimian said.

"Okay, third brother, you came at the right time!"

When the Ruizhou army saw that reinforcements were coming, they all vibrated their spirits and fought desperately.

Ling was shocked when he learned that his grain and grass had been burned, and then he pretended to be calm and commanded the soldiers to fight.

When it was almost noon, the soldiers of the Ling army could not resist, and the traces of defeat were revealed.

Seeing this, Ling shook his head helplessly and ordered a retreat, and Tao Shanling led thousands of armor soldiers to break the rear behind.

Ling led the defeated troops to the east, and the Ruizhou army chased after them and surrounded the broken Taoshan Mountain.

Yu Moyuan shouted loudly at Tao Shanling: "Listen, the thief will listen, quickly put down his weapon, dismount and surrender!" ”

Tao Shanling sneered and said, "Huangkou Shaft, Hugh is rampant!" If you really have the ability, you will kill General Ben. ”

The Ruizhou army rushed up and stabbed down Tao Shanling's mount, Tao Shanling fell to the ground, and he knew that he could not escape, so he drew his sword and killed himself.

"Tao Shanling can also be regarded as a loyal and brave general! Come, and bury him. Yu Mo said from afar.

Ling Ju came to the outside of Xiaojing City, saw Yu Xi, and said, "General Yu, we have been defeated, you can withdraw to Yinghui City with me." ”

Yu Xi was about to speak, but he saw Zhu Pinzhi, the defender of Xiaojing City, open the city gate and lead the defenders to kill him.

"General, go away, I'll stop the thief!" Yu Xi shouted loudly.

Ling Ju didn't dare to stay, and continued to lead the army to escape, until he fled into the Canglu Pass before stopping, and his heart was a little calmer.

The soldiers of the Ling army withdrew to Canglu Pass one after another, and Ling Ju did not see Yu Xi and Tao Shanling, so he asked the soldiers who had fled: "Have you ever seen General Yu and General Tao?" ”

Some soldiers replied: "General Tao died in battle, and General Yu was also surrounded outside Xiaojing City. ”

When Ling Ji heard this, he was very sad in his heart, and the two fierce generals under his account were killed one after another, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

Yu Yi led the army and the Ruizhou army to fight to the death, he waved his knife back and forth in the chaos of the army to kill, Yu Mo had a vision, and asked everyone: "Yu Xi is also very brave, which of you dares to come forward to capture him?" ”

Huangfu Sui shouted loudly: "Big brother, I'll go get him." With that, the fast horse rushed into the formation.

Yu Yi saw Huangfu Sui rushing over, and immediately caught the fight. Ten rounds later, Huangfu Sui Fei kicked Yu Xi under the horse, and Yu Xi was about to get up, but was held down by the Ruizhou Army and tied a strong knot with a rope.

Yu Moyuan looked at Yu Xi and said, "Let's escort him back to Ruizhou City first." ”

"Big brother, let's continue to chase, this time I must capture the old thief." Huangfu Sui said.

Yu Moyuan looked at Zuoqiu Hu and wanted to hear Zuo Qiuhu's opinion.

Zuo Qiu Hu said: "Childe, Ling Ju has been defeated and fled, we can't give him a chance to breathe, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue, take the Canglu Pass, and then march into Yinghui City, and destroy Ling Ju in one fell swoop. ”

Yu Moyuan nodded and ordered: "All the soldiers, follow me to continue the pursuit and take the Canglu Pass!" ”
