Volume 9 The Great Tribulation

Chapter 3 The Gathering of Soldiers to Quell the Thieves and Rebellion

Section 4 Battle of Pingyang Fucheng (4)

Hong Chengchou listened to the sound of fighting from the west, and said secretly in his heart: "The Hanwei Army really lives up to its reputation, and this momentum alone is far stronger than the soldiers under me!" If only I could have such strong soldiers, even if it was only in the thousands! ”

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou looked at the soldiers who were besieging the city, and saw that Cao Wenzhao, Wang Chengen, and Yang Jiamo had already rushed to the front line with their own soldiers to command, and the three of them roared angrily, commanding the soldiers under their respective commands to rush to the city wall and fight for their lives with the army of thieves, and the 20,000 soldiers were also moving forward bravely, and were fighting for the southern city wall with the army of thieves defending the city. However, the army of thieves desperately resisted with the advantage of the terrain, so that the battle was at a stalemate for a while.

The situation of the Xuan army in the north is similar to that of Hong Chengchou's department, although the soldiers have landed in the city to fight, but they have never been able to completely open the situation, and can only start a tug-of-war with the army of thieves, fighting for the strongholds on the city wall one by one in a desperate way.

West city wall.

Zheng Zhibao, under the escort of 200 Iron Man soldiers, stood under the city and commanded the army to fight in the city. I saw that 8,000 Iron Man soldiers set up more than 20 ladders at the same time, and the soldiers of the army continued to climb up, and at this time, hundreds of people had climbed the city wall, and the army of thieves on the city wall was killed.

The soldiers of the Iron Man Army who climbed the city wall were all brave and unstoppable, and the rogue soldiers who defended the city could almost take one as ten, and quickly occupied more than a dozen battlements to cover the follow-up soldiers to quickly ascend the city. It didn't take long for hundreds of Iron Man soldiers to gather on the city walls, and the tide of battle began to tilt in favor of the officers and soldiers.

Lao Hui was already embarrassed at this time, and there was a bloody wound on his back, the blood had already penetrated his clothes, and he was obviously injured by the fierce long-handled broadsword of the Iron Man Army, and the dazzling blood was shocking. In the face of the increasingly severe situation, Lao Hui understood in his heart that Pingyang Mansion City would not be able to hold it!

Under the threat of death, Lao Hui looked at the Iron Man soldiers who were becoming more and more brave with a hideous face, and secretly said in his heart: "Since you don't let me live, then let's die together!" I'd rather destroy the city of Pingyang than let you, the eagles and dogs of the imperial court, take it for yourself! ”

Thinking of this, Lao Huihui no longer paid attention to the war on the city wall, and let the thief soldiers on the city wall fend for themselves, but hurriedly ran down the city wall with dozens of personal soldiers around him, and gathered hundreds of thief soldiers to pile up and ignite things in the city, and they were ready to set fire to the city, and they died together with the officials and soldiers!

Half an hour later, the old man, who had fallen into madness, stood on the street with his hair scattered, looking at the western city wall with blood-red eyes, his eyes full of anger and despair, like a mad dog, ready to die with the enemy.

At this time, Zheng Zhibao had already led the Iron Man Army soldiers to capture most of the western city wall, and was besieging and destroying the remaining thieves on the western city wall, and would soon rush into the city. The battle on the south and north walls was also coming to an end, and under the command of Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, and Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, the soldiers of the two armies had captured most of the city, and it would not be long before they could enter the city with the soldiers of the Iron Man.

Looking at the iron men and soldiers who continued to climb the west city wall, Lao Hui held a torch in his hand, laughed wildly, turned around and threw the torch into the pyre next to him, the dry pyre burned quickly under the blessing of the wind, and in a blink of an eye, it swallowed the houses near the left, and the fire spread instantly, and the billowing smoke went straight into the sky.

Seeing this, Lao Hui Hui not only did not retreat, but stood there and laughed wildly, as if he had seen something amusing. At this moment, several rogue soldiers behind Lao Hui suddenly rushed forward, and the sharp blade in his hand was aimed at Lao Hui Hui and slashed it, and immediately slashed Lao Hui to the ground, and he was angry on the spot!

When a little leader of the thieves saw that Lao Huihui was dead, he pointed at the rogue soldiers around him with a war knife that was still dripping with blood in his hand, and shouted: "Lao Huihui is dead!" If you want to live, go and open the city gates, let's surrender! ”

Seeing this, the surrounding thief soldiers immediately dispersed, and many of the thief soldiers rushed towards the city gate, wanting to open the city gate and surrender in order to save their lives; And some diehards of Lao Huihui angrily rushed towards their companions who wanted to surrender, and the two sides were killed in a blink of an eye, and the entire Pingyang Mansion City suddenly fell into extreme chaos, and there were desperate crowds of people everywhere.

At this time, Zheng Zhibao had already led the army to annihilate the thief soldiers on the west city wall, standing on the head of the city and looking at the thief soldiers fighting each other in the city, he couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and immediately commanded the Iron Man Army soldiers to rush into the city and kill all directions.

Hong Chengchou and Zhang Zongheng also learned that there was a civil strife in the army of thieves in the city, and they commanded their soldiers to rush into the city to encircle and annihilate the remaining thieves in the city.

Due to the inhumane persecution of the people in the city and hundreds of thousands of displaced people by the army of thieves before, whether it was Liu Yunwei, Hong Chengchou, or Zhang Zongheng, without exception, they did not issue an order to contain the prisoners. The officers and soldiers who rushed into the city, whether it was the Iron Man Army, the Xuanda Army, or the Trilateral Army, encountered the thieves and soldiers who were not accustomed to whether the other party threw themselves or not, and they were all killed and never left alive.

"Kill them all!"

"Kill these scourges!"

The angry soldiers charged in formation through the city, and none of the rogue soldiers they encountered survived were slashed on the spot. Those rogue soldiers who had to surrender before were regretting it at this time, knowing that it was better to defend the city and fight to the death!

However, it was too late. Even if those thieves and soldiers do not have civil strife, there are no variables in this battle, and sooner or later the city of Pingyang Mansion will be taken by tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in one fell swoop!

Zheng Zhibao led a team of Iron Man soldiers to walk on the streets of the city, and the corpses of the thieves could be seen everywhere, at this time the battle had spread to the center of the city, and the four gates and many key points of Pingyang Mansion City had been occupied by the officials and soldiers, and the time of the thieves' demise was not far away.

However, Zheng Zhibao Wenai looked at the billowing smoke in the city, couldn't help frowning, and secretly cursed in his heart for a while, so he hurriedly sent someone to report the situation to Liu Yunwei, and at the same time sent some soldiers to fight the fire.

But at this moment, the fire has become bigger and bigger, and the soldiers have to continue to encircle and suppress the remaining rogue soldiers in the city, and there are not enough people to fight the fire, Zheng Zhibao can only watch the fire spread further, and there is already a trend of sweeping the whole city!

It didn't take long for Zheng Zhibao to receive Liu Yunwei's order: the whole army should encircle and annihilate the remnants of the thieves in the city as soon as possible, and ignore the fire in the city.

Zheng Zhibao was a little surprised after receiving the order, but he still carried it out, and led the Iron Man Army soldiers to clear out the thieves in the city with all their might.

About half an hour later, Zheng Zhibao found that thousands of young and strong people poured in from the west city gate, all of whom were holding containers of water in their hands, and under the command of the soldiers of the first battalion of the pacesetter battalion, they ran separately to the fire points everywhere and began to extinguish the fire in the city. Zheng Zhibao was relieved when he saw this, and concentrated on commanding the officers and soldiers of the Iron Man Army to clear out the thieves and rout.

Under the full encirclement of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, the 20,000 thieves in the city were finally wiped out, and there was no one alive including the thief leader Lao Huihui, and the entire Pingyang Mansion City was like a huge slaughterhouse, full of blood and corpses.

At this time, the fire in the city has also been extinguished by tens of thousands of young and strong people who rushed in, looking at the messy streets, looking at the burned homes, thinking of the relatives and friends who died tragically before, all the people were angry, and many angry young and strong people hung up the corpses of thieves, hung them on the street and whipped them until the flesh and blood were blurred.

Liu Yunwei, Hong Chengchou, and Zhang Zongheng rode horses on the street together, looking at those angry people, they all shook their heads and sighed.

"If it weren't for the thieves, these people should have lived a peaceful life, even if they had a hard life, they wouldn't have suffered this catastrophe!" Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, looked at the scene in front of him and sighed.

Liu Yunwei also sighed and said: "The thieves are hateful, but the imperial court also has improper governance, and the heavy taxes that continue to be imposed on the poor peasants are an example. ”

Zhang Zongheng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and glanced at Liu Yunwei without words; Hong Chengchou's eyes were full of respect when he looked at Liu Yunwei, and he nodded with a faint smile.

After that, the three of them inspected the city together, and then settled down in the yamen of the political envoy in the city, and the soldiers of various departments also drove into the city and stationed. At the same time, Liu Yunwei also moved the original 200,000 people in the city back to the city, and settled the remaining 400,000 displaced people in the city.

That night, Liu Yunwei discussed with Hong Chengchou and Zhang Zongheng, and decided to let Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, lead his army south to Pingyang Fucheng to solve the settlement problem of hundreds of thousands of displaced people. At the same time, Liu Yunwei also decided that after the army rested for two days, he would go north to Linfen City to join the soldiers of the Yue cavalry battalion and encircle and annihilate the thief Zhang Xianzhong's department.

At this moment, Guo Yi hurriedly ran into the house and said to Liu Yunwei: "Supervisor! Li Tianhao, the general of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, sent someone to send an urgent report, and the thieves of Zhang Xianzhong's department in Linfen City suddenly disappeared! ”

Liu Yunwei was furious when he heard this, stood up suddenly, and immediately pierced the three-inch-thick table with a punch on the table, and Hong Chengchou and Zhang Zongheng next to him were even more shocked when they saw this.

"How did Li Tianhao fight? Unexpectedly, tens of thousands of thieves disappeared out of thin air! ”
