The confrontation that is difficult to reassure appeared at the southern foot of the Dayu Mountains, and the Chen army, which was camped on the waterside of Hengpu, did not usher in the expected crazy attack of the Zhou army, and the other party set up a village in the mountains, as if it was going to confront the Chen army under the mountain for a long time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Maybe the Zhou army is brewing some tricks, and they want to send troops to bypass the Chen army camp; Or wait for the arrival of the army, and then do your best to break through the interception of the Chen army in one fell swoop and attack the Lingnan territory.

No matter which possibility it is, it is inevitable that Chen Jun will set up a village at the southern end of Da Yuling Road, as long as it is stabilized here, even if a small group of Zhou troops come over the cliff, they will not be able to shake the situation.

The county has strengthened its defense, even during the day, only two city gates are opened, unless it is an official army, a grain transport team or residents in the city, they are not allowed to enter or exit, and only people are allowed to enter and exit, and horse-drawn carts and ox carts are not allowed to pass through, and the Zhou army is prevented from stealing the city.

Didn't you say that blocking the Great Yuling Road would make the Zhou army helpless? How did they sneak up on Siheung?

Or that sentence, not only the official road of Da Yuling Road can walk on the Great Yu Ridge, if the Zhou army has a guide to lead the way, send a small group of elite soldiers to walk some small ravines can also cross the Great Yu Ridge, of course, it is limited to people, and horses don't have to think about it.

Once these Zhou soldiers touched the city of Shixing, it was impossible to take the city, but they could set fire to it or constantly attack the grain transportation team, which would seriously affect the morale of the army and the people, so Chen Jun was very wary of this.

Between the camp of the Chen army on the banks of the water in Shixing and Hengpu, there were rangers who constantly patrolled, and once they found the enemy's situation, they immediately reported it so that remedial measures could be taken in time.

As the sun set, on the bank of the Hengpu water, Wang Meng, the governor of the capital, came here to drink horses after inspecting the military camp, looked at the direction of Wuji on the northeast side, and asked the generals on the side: "Does Wang Zhongxuan have any news back?" ”

"Not today, but yesterday I sent someone back to report that I had set up camp in Jiudu."

Wang Meng groaned, and after a while, he ordered: "Tomorrow transfer a thousand soldiers and horses to Wuji to station." ”

When the general heard what he promised, he wanted to say something but still didn't say it, Wang Meng looked at Wu Ji again, his brows still tightened.

He didn't believe Wang Zhongxuan, not because there was any evidence to prove that the other party was collaborating with the enemy, but based on his own intuition and judgment: most of the chieftains in Lingnan were not trustworthy, and the other party might not trust him.

The courts of the Southern Dynasties in the past dynasties called the Northern Dynasty the Northern Captives and the Suo Prisoners, but Wang Meng knew that in the eyes of these chieftains in Lingnan, the Jiankang Imperial Court was not the "Northern Captives"?

On the grounds of disobedience and disobedience, he killed the two clans of Chen Fangqing, the assassin of Guangzhou, and Chen Boxin, the assassin of Xihengzhou, who were born under him, and used this to suppress the generals, assassins, and taishou who were born as chieftains under him, so that the other party could be honest and obedient, but it would be difficult to make these people work hard.

A general like Wang Zhongxuan, who was born as a chieftain, is basically a grass on the wall, and he will fall wherever the wind is strong, Chen Junqiang is a loyal general, and Zhou Junqiang will defect on the verge of battle.

This kind of army led by a general can't fight a tough battle, and it will even collapse ahead of time and cause the whole army to collapse, and it's useless to stay around, so he asked Wang Zhongxuan to go out as a watchdog.

Of course, the dog will be loyal to the house, but the dog that has just been domesticated from the wolf may not, the safety of Wuji is related to the safety of the flank of the Chen army's camp, Wang Meng only hopes for his own soldiers, as long as the Wuji Fort strengthens the defense, it does not matter whether Wang Zhongxuan, who is in charge of guarding the door, is honest or not.

Wang Meng looked at the big Yuling in the north, Zhou Jun looked very "honest" these days, but he didn't feel that the other party was honest at all, thinking about it, the other party was probably brewing some conspiracy.

In terms of probability, the Uza is still the most dangerous...

Thinking of this, Wang Meng motioned to the subordinate to come forward: "Order, transfer 2,000 soldiers to Wuji tomorrow." ”

。。。。。。

Jiudu, a barracket stands on the bank of Jiudu water, which was built by Chen General Wang Zhongxuan's department, but there are not many soldiers inside, and the Jiudu Village next to it is their camp.

No matter how bad the house is, it is better to live in than a tent, the adobe wall is better than the wooden planks to protect from the wind and rain, and there is no fear of a snake coming in at night to bite it, and there is more or less some food in the house, which can be used to cook directly.

The only regret is that there is no villager in Jiudu Village, and Wang Zhongxuan is very helpless about this, because there is no woman to sleep with, and the long night is much more boring.

Did the villagers of Jiudu Village mistake them for thieves? Perhaps, but even if they knew that they were officials and soldiers, I am afraid that these villagers would have to run.

The Lingnan region is not peaceful, and the villages that can survive, no matter how stupid the villagers are, they have some basic eyes, and for these villagers, compared with the two of soldiers, thieves may be better.

A thief will not kill a good person.

The house where Wang Zhongxuan lives is the best house in Jiudu Village, not to mention the front yard and the garden, maybe it is the residence of the patriarch and others, and the stored grain, firewood and grain are very sufficient, and there is even wine.

After eating and drinking, he turned outside the house and walked to the camp outside the village with a full burp.

The village is comfortable to live in, but it is not safe, there is a ring of dilapidated earthen walls around Jiudu Village, if the Zhou army attacks, it will not be able to resist at all, so Wang Zhongxuan would rather go to the camp he just set up to spend the night, and the village is used as a bait to buy time for himself.

If the Zhou army really attacked, if the opponent was not many in number, then he would counterattack and beat it away; If the other party is outnumbered, then surrender immediately, turn around and take the other party to touch the Wuzhichen military camp.

If he defects to the enemy, the family members who stay in Guangzhou may be in danger, but his life is the first, he can remarry if his mother-in-law is gone, and he can regenerate his son if he is gone, as long as he can seize the opportunity to obtain benefits, it is worth the risk.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongxuan looked at the Great Yuling in the north, and he began to hope that the commander of the Zhou army would send someone to take the Longchuan Ancient Road, so that he would have the opportunity to choose.

The piercing sound of the gong frightened Wang Zhongxuan, and he followed the sound with some annoyance, and found that it was the sentry on the watchtower in the camp who was beating the gong: "Enemy, the enemy is coming!" ”

Zhou Jun is here?!

Wang Zhongxuan immediately looked to the north of the village, and many soldiers ran out of the houses in the village, panicking and looking around the north with weapons, but did not find anything unusual.

The sentry on the watchtower finally calmed down from his panic: "East, it's east!" Cavalry is coming from the east! ”

To the east, cavalry? I don't have cavalry, and sure enough, the Zhou army is here!

Wang Zhongxuan thought of this and looked to the east, but saw that the east road was dusty under the sunset, which was the movement of a large number of cavalry galloping.

The appearance of enemy cavalry in the east means that the Zhou army went up the river from Ganxian County and transported the cavalry here by boat through Taoshui.

An entourage was in a hurry and asked Wang Zhongxuan if he needed to send someone to report to Wuzhi immediately, Wang Zhongxuan didn't even want to deny it directly, because the Zhou army was strong, so he wanted to surrender, and then he would lead the way to attack Wuji, where would he send someone to report the news?

But now it is not possible to surrender, the opposing cavalry can kill him with a single sword, so he must go to the camp to defend it, and wait for the Zhou soldiers to surround him before surrendering, so as not to die in the chaos.

Thinking of this, he didn't care about commanding his subordinates in the village, and fled straight into the camp, and soon after the gate of the village was closed, the cavalry of the Zhou army roared in.

The soldiers of the Chen army in the village were rushed to the front by the other party as soon as they shot a few arrows, and they were either stabbed to death by the horse lance, or they were trampled by iron hooves and turned into bloody corpses, and the hastily organized defense line was instantly broken down by the cavalry.

The lone infantry had no way to fight against the cavalry that moved, and the cavalry of the Zhou army rushed directly into Jiudu Village, and cut it when they saw Chen's soldiers.

The Chen soldiers who were close to the camp were all isolated by the cavalry of the Zhou army, and let them be slaughtered like hungry tigers pounced on sheep.

The dead are all his subordinates, and they are the capital to make meritorious contributions, so things can't drag on any longer, and he has to surrender and stop losses.

"Quick! Shout, say we surrender! ”

"I don't speak Chinese!"

"Idiot!!" Wang Zhongxuan scolded angrily, they were slang, and many soldiers couldn't speak Chinese, so they could only shout and surrender in person.

Carefully showing his head, he desperately shouted in Chinese: "Surrender!" We surrender! ”

As soon as the words fell, several horsemen galloped head-on, Wang Zhongxuan was afraid that the other party would shoot arrows, but when he saw that the other party threw a few things at his side, he didn't plan to dodge when he saw that he wouldn't hit him.

Suddenly there was a fire on those things, and then smashed on the wall of the wall like a clay pot cracked, splashing burning oil, and suddenly, Wang Zhongxuan and his entourage were splashed and instantly turned into burning people.

"Ahhh

In the screams, Wang Zhongxuan, who was on fire all over, struggled, his hair was on fire, his face was also burning, the pain was unbearable, and the skin without clothing was as painful as if it had been torn apart.

Consciousness was fading, and he clung to the wall, reaching out and crying:

"Surrender... We... Cast..."

In the sky-high firelight, the main force of the Zhou army arrived at Jiudu, and Murong Sanzang, the head of the march, looked at the ruins and motioned for a person behind him to step forward: "Mai Zhuangshi, is it difficult to walk at night?" ”

When Mai Tiezhu heard this, he replied, "Chief, there is no difficulty! ”

"Very good, give the order to go down, rest for half an hour, and then set off immediately!"
