Chapter 815: Soldiers Coming to Dongcheng (Fourth Watch)
After the chaos of the Nanzhao army, the Tang army's crossbowmen slowly advanced under the cover of sword and shield soldiers, shooting the panicked Nanzhao soldiers as they advanced.
The Nanzhao army only has a little better equipment for the standing army, and most of the 5,000 troops led by Zhao Shengzheng are village soldiers, and they are very lacking in armor, not even a few pieces of leather armor, after all, it is not like a nomadic people who have rich raw materials for making leather armor.
In the face of the Tang Army's powerful crossbow arrows, except for those with armor, the remaining Nanzhao soldiers couldn't dodge at all.
The sound of "poof" arrows entering the flesh was heard, and a wail suddenly sounded.
Seeing that the subordinates around him were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, Zhao Shengzheng also panicked.
I knew that he shouldn't have been in such a hurry, and he wouldn't have fallen into the ambush of the Tang army when he marched slowly.
Didn't it mean that the Tang Army was just a small force sneaking up on the Gabi Pavilion?
But the Tang army in front of him is at least a few thousand, where it looks like a small army.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shengzheng planned to go back and divide the body of the messenger to Wuma.
Seeing that the soldiers had already surrounded him, Zhao Shengzheng waved his horsewhip and prepared to flee from here, leaving Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, which is the favorite sentence of the Han people.
Hearing the screams from behind, Zhao Chengzheng couldn't take care of it, and hated the horse to fly away directly with its wings.
Feeling that the screams were far away, he calmed down a little.
But as soon as he was at ease, he felt that he was suddenly dazzled, and he was looking at the road ahead, but it turned into the ground in front of him, and then he fell directly to the ground.
Zhao Shengzheng, who was dizzy from the fall, shook his head, knowing that the soldiers were shouting, he was a little sober, only to find that his car had fallen to the ground and was struggling to stand up.
And in the hind leg of the horse was an arrow sticking into it, and it was evident that the horse had just been hit by the arrow and threw him off the horse.
Seeing that the Tang army had already surrounded him, Zhao Shengzheng wanted to stand up and escape from here.
Nanzhao was already short of horses, and Zhao Chengzheng was still riding a better war horse, and Tang Jun immediately realized that he was a big official.
"Quick, there is a Nanzhao official here, he is riding a good horse, he must be a big official!"
A voice of surprise and delight came.
Hearing this voice, Zhao Zhengzheng had the sound of death, and as soon as he looked up, he saw hundreds of Tang soldiers rushing towards him with shields and knives.
And the pro-soldiers around him, seeing this posture, most of them directly abandoned him and ran away.
That's right, it ran away.
Zhao Shengzheng wanted to run, but a sharp arrow came and shot directly through his calf, and the whole person fell to the ground heavily, nailed to the ground, and couldn't move if he wanted to.
Just when he was in pain, he noticed that there was some heavy breathing around him, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a pair of shining eyes.
Rao is also a person who has fought on the battlefield, and when he sees this scene, he is also a little weak.
"What do you want to do? Don't come here! ”
。。。。。。
"Father-in-law, I just got the news that the army led by Cui Anqian has conquered the Mozha Pavilion, the Gabi Pavilion, and the Yangbi Pavilion, and the vanguard army led by Yue Changxu has arrived at the foot of Nongdong City."
"So fast?" Wang Jian was also surprised.
"Father-in-law, this is already news from three days ago, and at this time, the army of the middle lane should have all arrived at the foot of Nongdong City.
Cui Anqian has a lot of Tiance cannons and artillery in his hands, and it shouldn't be a problem to take down Langdong City, if we still stay in Dongchuan, and wait for the middle army to divide troops to attack Shanyan Mansion, it will be too late. Tian Shikan said in a deep voice.
Wang Jian nodded, "That's a problem. Originally, my father was worried that he would not have enough troops in his hands, but he didn't expect that Shi Kan you would actually bring 3,000 barbarian soldiers.
You agreed to the conditions of the Wumeng Department and the Lulu Department, and your father agreed, didn't you just want money? Wait for the father to rob one or two cities. Wang Jian said disapprerovingly.
These barbarians are not really loyal to Nanzhao, as long as the interests are enough, they can work for whomever they want.
Tian Shikan took down several tribes along the way through both soft and hard measures, and also brought 3,000 barbarian soldiers to help.
This undoubtedly made Wang Jian very satisfied with Tian Shikan, and also aroused Wang Zongji's dissatisfaction. Nine peaches
"With the words of the father-in-law, the child will be relieved." Tian Shikan was afraid that if the other party did not agree, the three thousand barbarian soldiers would be in trouble at that time.
"Zong Ji, is there any news from Duan Baolong's side?" Wang Jian asked suddenly.
"Not yet." Wang Zongji hurriedly replied.
"If not, forget it." Wang Jian didn't care much about Duan Baolong either, "Since the army in the middle lane may have already arrived under the city, we also have to hurry up."
Order the army to depart tomorrow and arrive at Changcheng County within two days. ”
"Yes, father-in-law!"
。。。。。。
"Rubbish, a bunch of rubbish!"
Yang Tho Baa City, learning that the battle of Langdong was lost, Zheng Maisi was furious in his own mansion.
"Xiangye, now that the Tang army has arrived under the city of Nongdong, according to the report from the front, the Tang army may have 100,000 people."
Of course, there are not 100,000 people, but Zheng Maidao is just a random number made up by Zheng Maidao in order to let Zheng Maisi reinforce Langdong.
Until now, Zheng Maidao didn't know how many Tang troops there were on the other side, but when he saw the banners of the Tang Army everywhere, he thought that there were a lot of people.
"100,000? Are there so many Don troops? Hearing this number, Zheng Maisi was also shocked.
"It was Zheng Jiedu's envoy who reported." The people below reported truthfully.
"What did he say?" Zheng Maisi was also a little skeptical that his brother was telling the truth.
"Xiangye, in addition, the envoys of Tuodong Jiedu, the governor of Tonghai and the envoys of Jianchuan Jiedu have all discovered the Tang army."
"What the hell is going on? Tuodong and Tonghai, the original appearance can be understood, what is going on in Jianchuan? Zheng Maisi wondered.
"It's Duan Baolong. He led thousands of troops in the name of serving the Qing monarch, and had captured most of the cities of Jianchuan, and had already approached the city of Jianchuan.
According to the report of the Jianchuan Jiedu envoy, many generals in Jianchuan City may be planning to surrender, and he is also somewhat unable to control the situation. "The subordinates were a little weak-hearted, and they were hesitant to speak.
"Waste, how can you raise a bunch of waste, and you can't rely on it at critical moments!" Zheng Maisi scolded.
"Xiangye, also... And also... ”
"Can you finish it in one sitting?" Zheng Maisi didn't have a good airway.
"The Tang army in Nongdong, Tuodong and Tonghai all made a pleading for the saints, and they sent troops. They said that this time they sent troops just to help Emperor Nanzhao get rid of it... Remove... His subordinates suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Zheng Maisi snorted coldly, "Did you help the little emperor get rid of his true appearance?" ”
"Xiangye, these are all tricks of the Tang Army, Xiangye doesn't have to care." Seeing that Zheng Maisi's face was a little ugly, his subordinates hurriedly persuaded.
"Don't care? Isn't this what Shun Huazhen wants to see? Isn't it good for him to be his puppet emperor? I have to look for death! Zheng Maisi's face was a little ugly.
"Someone!"
"In!"
"Pass on the order of the prime minister, arrest all the royal families in the ten eyelids, since Shun Huazhen wants to die, the prime minister will fulfill him!" A strong killing intent flowed on Zheng Maihei's body.
"Xiangye, you want to...
"I want Shun Huazhen to see, it is he who killed the entire Nanzhao Meng royal family. Within three days, Ben Xiang didn't want to see any Nanzhao royal family in the ten eyelids. Zheng Maisi said ruthlessly.
"Think twice!" Seeing that Zheng Maisi wanted to kill the entire Nanzhao royal family, the people below also thought that something was wrong, so they tried their best to persuade him.
Originally, some people were dissatisfied with Zheng Maihei's control of the court situation, but now if the entire Nanzhao royal family is killed, it will inevitably cause greater problems.
It would be fine if there was no Tang Army coming, but now that the land is current, Zheng Maihei is undoubtedly making Tang Jun see a joke. ”
"Think twice? I've thought about it. Go and carry out the order immediately, otherwise Benxiang doesn't mind changing people! Zheng Maisi said angrily.
"Yes, Xiangye!"
