Chapter 612: The Red Eyebrow Army Attacks the First Emperor
"Your Majesty, the Red Eyebrow Army has already been in the Central Plains and has defeated our officers and troops many times." Wang Kuangzuo reports.
"Really? The Red Eyebrow Army is so strong. The first emperor Liu Xuan couldn't help but be surprised.
He thought to himself: My Han also has an army of millions? Why can't they resist the 300,000 army of Red Eyebrows?
"The Red Eyebrow Army announced that Your Majesty is a puppet emperor, and dug up the tombs of Han princes in various places and distributed the gold to the people. The common people are actively joining the Red Eyebrow Army. There are already a million people in the Red Eyebrow Army. Your Majesty. If this continues, everything is in danger. Wang Kuang cried.
At the same time, Fan Chong, the leader of the Red Eyebrow Army, heard that Liu Xiu had betrayed Emperor Gengshi, and he was immediately overjoyed.
He said to the other generals: "I was worried that if I attacked Emperor Gengshi, Liu Xiu's army in Hebei would sneak attack from the rear. Now it seems that we can attack Liu Xuan with all our might. Liu Xiu will inevitably not send troops. ”
"My lord. However, I think Liu Xiu is our biggest threat. Liu Xiu has a group of strategists, as well as a group of fierce generals in Nanyang and Hebei. Feng Yi and Wu Han are both world-famous fierce generals. Liu Xuan is nothing more than a mediocre talent. We can go to Hebei to pacify Liu Xiu first, and then attack Liu Xuan. Chi Zhaoping said.
"Liu Xiu doesn't have much land. There weren't many soldiers either. It's not a powerful force. I don't think there's any need to hit him. As long as we pacify the first emperor Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu will naturally surrender. Fan Chong said confidently.
"My lord. Liu Xiu will not stay for a long time. He will inevitably take advantage of our attack on Liu Xuan to expand his territory. It will even attack Luoyang. Once Luoyang is occupied by Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu can command the Quartet. Chi Zhaoping cried.
"Liu Xiu is just a side royal family of the Liu clan of Chungling. There is such ambition. I think he's just trying to divide one side. No worries. Fan Chong continued.
The Red Eyebrow army began to attack Wancheng.
Fan Chong's army of 300,000 surrounded Wancheng.
He stretched out his bow and arrows and shot the letter of persuasion into Wancheng.
Wancheng Guard Meng Zi looked at it and said, "Fan Chong actually has 300,000 elites. Nowadays, there is not much food and grass left. Moreover, if the fight continues, I am afraid that we will be slaughtered. ”
"General, we have to keep fighting. Our family members are all with Your Majesty. If you surrender to the Red Eyebrow Army. Our family is dying. The lieutenant cried.
"Okay. Let's continue to resist. Moeko said.
So, Moeko led the army out of the city to fight the Red Eyebrow Army.
When Fan Chong saw the Han army out of the city, he thought: It's really beyond his strength. The Han army was mostly recruits with no military training. They are no match for me at all.
"Fan Chong. Look at mine. Moeko shouted, and he came with a big knife.
Fan Chong picked up the horn bow and hit Mengzi's arm with an arrow.
He was bleeding profusely, and he fell to the ground in an instant.
The Red Eyebrow captured him alive.
"Why did you come to die? Isn't it okay to surrender? Fan Chong asked.
"My family is with Your Majesty. If I surrender, my family will be killed by His Majesty. Moeko cried.
"Really? Right? Are you a relative of the First Emperor? Fan Chong asked.
"Yes. I am the cousin of His Majesty. Originally, lamb skewers were sold on the street. Moeko smiled.
"It's enough for the First Emperor to let someone like you lead troops to fight. No wonder he lost the battle. Fan Chong said with a smile.
Fan Chong remembered the past:
Fan Chong said angrily: "Wang Mang is really a faint king!" It's so careless of human life! We must pay close attention to the training of soldiers and horses, and strive to overthrow Xin Mang and revive the Han dynasty as soon as possible! ”
"Big Boss, we don't have much time right now. Wang Mang sent Taishi Aizhang to come, bringing 300,000 troops from the Liaodong Front of the New Dynasty! Military advisor Xu Xuan reported.
Xu Xuan is the second person in the Red Eyebrow Army after the big leader Fan Chong, and he is proficient in the art of war.
He used formations to defeat the army of the New Dynasty many times!
"Three hundred thousand, it's scary. Wang Mang only dealt with 300,000 Huns! The little leader, Xie Lu, was taken aback.
"We don't have to be afraid of them. Wang Mang's new dynasty iron cavalry, although there are still Wuhuan mercenaries. Their combat effectiveness is not covered. However, we are using a bitter hatred for Wang Mang. Fan Chong scolded.
"However, 300,000 people are not boasting, even if it is 300,000 recruits, they can trample us to death!" Xie Lu said worriedly.
"Even if it's a raw rice, we're going to eat it." Fan Chong roared.
The soldiers of the Red Eyebrow Army raised their broadswords and shouted: "The Red Eyebrows will win, and the new reckless will be defeated!"
At this time, Ai Zhang had already led 300,000 iron horsemen from Liaodong to the south!
Along the way, the flag covered the sky, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the world!
The people along the way saw so many cavalry that they were so frightened that they scattered and fled!
"Who is this? Why are there so many people who are soldiers? Aunt Sun asked.
"I heard that now the imperial court is going to deal with Qilu's red-eyed rebels!" Aunt Li said in fear.
"Red-eyed anti-thief. Is that what I heard, the three-headed and six-armed monster in Qilu? Have a strong martial arts? Aunt Sun's whole body became trembling!
"Isn't it? I heard that 100,000 red-eyed thieves have defeated the government and retreated, and this red-eyed thief is even stronger than the Huns! Aunt Li cried bitterly.
"Actually, what I'm most afraid of is not the Red Eyebrow Army, but the official army. I heard that the Red Eyebrow Army has opened warehouses to release grain. The officers and soldiers are all robbing the people! Aunt Sun also sobbed.
At this time, Mourning Zhang sat in a sedan chair and ate the lord.
Next to him is a coquettish concubine, who is feeding the grapes to the mourning chapter.
Wai Zhang swallowed the grapes, spat out the grape seeds, and his face turned a little hideous.
"The grapes of the Western Regions are too hard!" Lamentation said uneasily.
"Master, what do you want to eat? Today, the Western Regions have long been occupied by the Xiongnu. It's nice to have grapes. The concubine pouted and said.
Lamentation thought to himself: Indeed! In recent years, people's livelihood has withered, business routes are impassable, and some of them are good to eat!
In the middle of the night, the army of mourning was encamped in the wilderness.
He held a banquet with other generals in the camp.
In front of the table of mourning: bear's paw, osmanthus fish, and lettuce soup......
"This meat is not fresh! Who is the cook? Wai Zhang said angrily.
The cook walked out.
He had a haggard face, a fat head and big ears.
"This is what you made? They all stink. Did you do it on purpose? Wai Zhang said angrily.
He drew his sword and shouted, "What is the use of keeping you for such a mediocre talent? ”
"Master, spare your life!" The cook suddenly kowtowed like pounding garlic!
"Now you know how to beg for mercy? What do you do when you're cooking? Taishi lamented and scolded.
Fan Chong thought to himself: Today's army of the First Emperor is as vulnerable as Wang Mang's army back then. We can surely destroy them.
Fan Chong roared: "The brothers and I will capture the first emperor and support the Han family. ”
The Red Eyebrow soldiers raised their weapons and shouted, "Capture the First Emperor alive." Kuang Fu Han Room. ”
