Chapter Forty-Nine: The Hidden Hand

The great war came suddenly.

In the early morning of March 4, the 11th year of Suzong, the battle that broke out was a huge and inscrutable chaos for the brave and brave ordinary soldiers. Of course, this is also because some things have not penetrated into the upper echelons of the army, even if there is gossip at the bottom, they still know the overall situation of the war.

It is only known that after a day of marching since the early hours of the morning, and then a night of siege battles, the people, who had exhausted the last bit of physical strength, were suddenly attacked by cavalry at dawn.

The generals reacted in a timely manner, taking the lead with a battalion of 3,000 springboard warriors, and then more than 50,000 troops of the entire Yangtze River Naval Division surrounded and completed a major battle.

With an army of more than 50,000 people, huge and colossal, in it, personal bravery and strength can play a very small role, but at this time, everyone still has confidence and fantasy about this battle. On the one hand, they have to have confidence and illusions about the position they are in, and on the other hand, people are dozens of times with each other, and for a long time the inherent image of the forbidden army. The opposite direction is vulnerable.

However, from an omniscient point of view, it can be seen. Just when the 50,000 troops tried to encircle each other, and were still in the territory, the first round of killing near Xiaochonggang had already begun, and the cavalry of the Royal Forest Army took advantage of the favorable position of the back sun, and the 5,000 cavalry army rushed back and forth around the Yangtze River Water Division, and defeated the battle formation of the springboard brigade at the first time, the flames and blood bloomed on the field, and the cavalry of the forbidden army ploughed blood pears in the crowd. Crazy tearing apart all the formed troops.

A little later, the rest of the tens of thousands of forbidden army infantry who came later, divided into four routes, galloped to the west, southwest, and northwest in a radial shape.

On the front line of the war, Fan Sui chose to flee at the first time, but the direction he chose was not to go in the direction to meet with Huaiyang Wang Chai and Xiang, but to go north by the Yangtze River.

After the abandoned Yangtze River Naval Division was broken, the troops were defeated in the entire Cheng system, and they were slaughtered by the infantry of the forbidden army that rushed later. The stormy clouds all became ominous in the sky------

"I always felt like there was something wrong with ------." Among the tens of thousands of people who were around, Guo Shirong rode a horse and followed Chai Youxiang's cart and whispered. The light shone through the tall trees, and the array of tens of thousands of people, after a whole night of fighting, did not even bother to open their mouths to speak.

"Don't be a crow's mouth." Chai Youxiang poked his head out of the car, "Even if there is a problem, what can you do?" Do you have a way out? ”

The guard, who was standing behind Guo Shirong, suddenly attached himself to the ground, listened attentively, and then got up with a pale face, and shouted in fear: "There is a large group of cavalry attacking here." ”

This was followed by the thump of horses' hooves hitting the ground.

There were chaotic shouts from the periphery of the encircled troops, and with this sharp and fierce shout, the swords and swords were slashed together, and the troops swung towards the boiling water.

In the midst of tens of thousands of troops, it is not difficult to realize the sudden change in the atmosphere, whether it is a commotion or panic, as long as it happens, it will be swept like a ripple in a short time, but there are not many people who know what is happening.

In fact, there are real and false changes in the atmosphere of this kind, especially at night, when there is a slight commotion and a lax army, it may be due to a chain reaction

And bomb the battalion. In wartime, the Judge Advocate Corps is extremely sensitive to such matters. Because of this, even though everyone felt some incongruous atmosphere, everyone was still watching quietly and nervously.

"What's going on?" Chai Youxiang got out of the car and looked into the distance, the edge of the stretching military formation, there was faint dust, and the road was not too clear. "Chai Jin, go and ask."

"Okay." Chai Jin took the reins of the horse and rode his horse to the edge of the battle array, and not long after he left, the battle horn sounded, and someone shouted: "Array." "The long line quickly assembled.

"Reinforcements are coming." Some people said this, but the matter has developed to this point, even if they don't say it, everyone can probably understand what happened, the military formation next to it was quickly sorted out, complex and high-pitched orders, and the footsteps of tens of thousands of people, at this moment, like a tide spreading, and soon someone rushed in.

That person was Fan Sui's personal soldier, "The imperial court reinforcements have arrived, and the 50,000 troops on the periphery have been defeated,

The imperial army is strong, not the water army can be stopped, Fan Dashuai asked you to wait for the opportunity to act, if you can't do it, you can withdraw to the river, don't lose it here. ”

In the morning light, hundreds of thousands of cavalry rushed here, with a little firelight, but in a short time, the fire spread, and it was the cavalry who ignited the arrows wrapped in fire oil in the gallop.

The horse team suddenly rushed into the dense infantry array, team after team, like a crazy pile driver, constantly rammed into the army of the navy, thousands of sword lights flew on the front, blood was violent, splashed, and the horses and people were smashed into minced meat on this crazy front. The knight on his horse swung his sword into the dense crowd. The entire battlefield, at the moment of this confrontation, rose to the most tragic level.

The cavalry, the infantry, all rushed together, and before long the defending infantry retreated.

On the same morning, several other rebel units in the field west of Jiankang City suffered the same fate.

"Lord Wang, withdraw it, the reinforcement cavalry of the faint monarch is too powerful to stop it!"

"Lord Wang, withdraw, there are still people in the capital, let's go back to Beijing to raise troops and horses, and copy the faint king's lair! We will be able to turn defeat into victory! ”

"Oh, I said you still have to bring more trebuchets, you have to pay attention to speed, fast is fast, you can't capture Huangzhuang has a fart, now it's good, but you can only be beaten, miserable!"

"Shut up!!"

Seeing that the people in the clan around him were gossiping or complaining or about to run away, Huaiyang Wang Chai and Xiang shouted: "What are you panicking about? There are not a few people on the top, and there is a rush in the back, and a charge can rush in. ”

The old county king of a clan panicked: "But the back is really unbearable, and I am going to lose." ”

Chai Yourui glared at the old county king fiercely, and no longer had the demeanor of a virtuous king who always gave people a spring breeze and respected the old in the past, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't panic, there is a secret hand buried in it alone!" As long as the faint king dies violently, the current defeat is not a matter! ”

When the people in the clan heard this, they were suspicious one after another: "What secret hand? Can you kill the unconscious? ”

Chai Hexiang snorted and said: "The faint monarch has no way and is unpopular, so naturally there are bright people who abandon the dark and turn to the light." ”

The old county king looked at the party side army that was becoming more and more obvious in the rout, and stomped his feet anxiously: "King Huaiyang, if there is any secret move, come out quickly, if it is late, it will be too late." The defeat is like a mountain, and there is no way to return to the sky! ”

Chai Youxiang was also playing drums, I don't know if that person is trustworthy, after all, it seems that the situation is not in his favor now.

If that man dares to deceive him, wait for the matter, it is better to let that person be ruined and beheaded!

When he was ruthless in his heart, he suddenly saw that the defenders in the direction suddenly became chaotic.

His expression shook suddenly, and suddenly there was a drum noise: "The faint king is dead!" The faint king is dead! Kill! ”

Seeing this, Chai Hexiang looked ecstatic, suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist, and commanded left and right: "Shout with the lonely, the faint monarch is dead, the emperor is dead, and the chaos will be set right, just kill today!" ”

"Kill!!"

Everyone saw that they really had a backhand, and they also killed Emperor Suzong, and they were all very excited, even if they had never even killed chickens, they all drew their swords at this moment and launched a charge.

The old county king looked at it from afar, and shouted excitedly: "Okay, it's the Ouchi guards who are opposed, it's the guards who are opposed, hurry up, it's going to be done, it's going to be done, kill it!" ”

A hundred steps closer to the main hall, Cao Lei's eyes were straight, looking at the battle in front of the main hall in the distance.

The guards around him rushed out, and the spear in the hand of Cao Dan, the head of the guard sect in the house, was handed out, and the blood of the attacked guards shot out, which was particularly eye-catching in the morning fog of dawn. The man held the hilt of the spear with both hands and struggled desperately, but was held up by Cao Dan's spear. In the blink of an eye, the whole thing fell soft.

He Qiu flew forward and smashed his fist into the chest of another rebel, a scream, and the sound of struggle and fighting sounded in front first, and then the scream. It shook everyone's hearts.

Wang Chun's whole body trembled, and the hand that grabbed the corner of Cao Lei's clothes was clenched tightly. Cao Lei took a deep breath and exhaled: "Cao Dan! Open the door! Guys, you guys rush in! The bright one can't be done, and the one who wants to come to the dark! Kill all these bastards! ”

He shouted with red eyes and rushed forward, this strength was so great, Wang Chundu dragged him out a few steps!

In the inner courtyard, a messy voice suddenly sounded. There was a commotion outside, too, and footsteps sounded in this direction. The short fight over there was over, and there was the sound of the door bar falling heavily, and the door was pushed open with a bang, and there was more blood on Cao Dan's head and face, only a pair of bull's eyes fluttered and rolled, and he also raised his arms and shouted: "Straight lady thief!" Wow! ”

The pattern of the inner courtyard is a house on three sides, the front hall, and the wings on both sides, and I heard the sound of squeaking and screaming from the houses on three sides, and there was already a big man rushing out from the left wing. With a whoosh sound of breaking the air, a feather arrow had already passed past Cao Shuang's ear, and it sank into the big man's chest!

Cao Danhu roared: "Little Liuzi, shoot well!" "The name of this archery courtyard is Cao Liu, and he is the head of the Cao family's archery. Cao Dan said that he had already pounced, and another big man who rushed out in front of the main hall was colliding, and both of them had heavy and heavy long weapons in their hands, and they slammed together, splashing countless sparks!

Long Xiangwei, who was guarding the emperor, saw that reinforcements were coming, and his spirits were greatly boosted for a while, and the guards around Cao Lei had already rushed past him, and there were guards in the wings on both sides rushing out. He Qiu, Cao Dan, Cao Liu and others greeted them, and in the blink of an eye, they had already cut down two. At this time, a person rushed out from behind the door of the main hall, but it was a short and stout man, the helmet on his head had been lost somewhere, the flesh and blood on the top of his head were blurred, the hair behind his head was scattered, he held a bow in his left hand and a knife in his right hand.
