Chapter 214: Sending troops into Xiping again

The sound of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians chanting together was like thunder. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and Zhao Ziyu, who has always followed Zhang Shihua, after seeing such a scene, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The hearts of the army and the people can be used." From today on, the general is invincible in Nanyang Mansion. ”

And then, just after the nations shouted. Zhang Shihua, who swore an oath in front of Wanmin Terrace, could not help but order someone to erect a monument here as evidence. And to use this stele to show Zhang Shihua's own determination.

……

"General Qiyu, there are more than 200 surviving people in Xiping outside the camp who want to join the general's command, I don't know what to do with these people?" Early the morning of the second day when Zhang Shihua swore to erect the monument, Bai Xi, the official of the thousand households who was responsible for guarding the camp gate, couldn't help but find Zhang Shihua early in the morning, and said this as soon as he saw Zhang Shihua.

Hearing Bai Xi's words, Zhang Shihua looked at Zhao Ziyu who was standing beside him respectfully, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Ziyu: "Ziyu, are you still rich in armor and weapons in the army?" ”

"General Qiyu, after the first battle of Xiangcheng, the army is extremely rich, and there is no problem in equipping 3,000 people."

"Well, in that case, the will of the people should not be taken lightly. In this way, General Bai Xi, the general knows that you are good at training, so the more than 200 people who came to join the army will also be divided into your tents, and you will conduct the drills. Hearing Zhao Ziyu's words, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but say to Bai Xi so lightly.

And Bai Xi, who heard Zhang Shihua's words, naturally couldn't help but be happy. After all, Zhang Shihua can let him train new pawns, which shows from the side that Zhang Shihua is about to regard him as his confidant. So after showing joy on his face, Bai Xi couldn't help but bow to Zhang Shihua and said: "The last general obeys the order, and the last general will not disappoint the general." ”

Seeing Bai Xi like this, Zhang Shihua naturally nodded with a smile, and waved his hand to excuse Bai Xi.

However, when Bai Xi stood up, Zhao Ziyu, who had been standing beside Zhang Shihua, suddenly stood up and bowed to Zhang Shihua: "Your Excellency General Qiqi, the lower officials think that since you swore an oath with the people yesterday, your lordship, you have been infected by your lordship, and it is expected that there will be no fewer people who have come to join the army in the past few days. ”

"Therefore, the lower official thinks that the general had better be prepared for this."

Hearing Zhao Ziyu's words, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but say to Zhao Ziyu after thinking about it for a while: "In this case, this matter will be prepared by you Ziyu." ”

"Yes, the subordinate obeys the order!" Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Zhao Ziyu also bowed.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua nodded again, and then waved his hand to let them retreat.

And everything that happened after that, naturally, was just as Zhao Ziyu expected, in just three days, nearly 1,000 people came to join the army. And for these defectors, Zhang Shihua naturally did not refuse to come at this time.

Therefore, after another five days, Zhang Shihua's army stationed in Wuyang once again increased to 8,000 people. Then, in order to increase the certainty of this decisive battle, Zhang Shihua also followed Zhao Ziyu's suggestion to transfer 1,000 reliable and usable prisoners from each of the two mines in Wuyang and Yecheng, and after breaking them up, they were incorporated into the army.

Since then, Zhang Shihua's people stationed in Wuyang have finally exceeded 10,000.

But at this time, let's not talk about Zhang Shihua's side. But Liu Futong, who had a bumpy road and finally returned from the withdrawal of troops from Anfeng Road, was ...... at this time

Ruyang Mansion City.

As the generalissimo of the Jiangbei Red Turban Army, Liu Futong, the time when he returned to Ruyang Mansion was also coincidental, which happened to be the day when Zhang Shihua made an oath in front of the 10,000-person platform. And it was precisely on this day that Shangcai City was breached, and the whole person became complacent, and he did not listen to the suggestion of his subordinates to continue to attack Nanyang and cut off Liu Futong's wings.

Instead, he took the 70,000 horses under his command and slaughtered towards Ruyang Mansion City. Obviously, he was tired of this time-consuming and laborious task of begging for thieves, and he was now ready to finish the battle.

Not to mention first, just said that Liu Futong, who led more than 50,000 men and horses under his command, withdrew his troops and returned to Ruyang Fucheng.

I have to say that he also successfully captured Shangcai Chongzhen first, and successfully repelled the black-clothed army of the fierce general Zhang Shihua. These two things did give Liu Futong a lot of shock. After all, Zhang Shihua and Han Yan'er are definitely the top generals under him Liu Futong.

But such two fierce generals, in just ten months, they were beaten to death and fled before him. With such a lesson from the past, it is no wonder that Liu Futong is afraid in his heart. After all, what he Liu Futong did was the business of the Zhujiu clan, and if he failed this time, he and his family would never be able to turn over.

So, after knowing what a terrible end will there be after knowing that you fail. In order to seek a chance of victory, Liu Futong couldn't help but gather more than 20,000 troops stationed in the south of Runing Mansion to Ruyang Mansion as soon as he returned to Ruyang Mansion City.

Obviously, Liu Futong is determined to start the final decisive battle with Yexian's army in Ruyang Mansion City this time.

And besides, after a series of victories, as the coach of the thief this time, he couldn't help but have a kind of victorious arrogance in his heart.

Now Yexian no longer takes the more than 70,000 soldiers and horses under Liu Futong's command in his eyes. Although it is said that Liu Futong's current strength is not less than him. But "a thief is a thief after all, how can such an unbearable rabble be the opponent of the imperial court?" ”

After having such an idea, he also led the 70,000 horses under his command and rushed straight to Ruyang Mansion City.

Therefore, the first shocking battle at the end of the Yuan Dynasty broke out in the Ruyang realm.

I have to say that the military spirit really plays a decisive role in a war.

On the side of the officers and soldiers of Yuan and Mongolia, because of the impact of a series of victories and a series of rich booty, the morale of the whole army became extremely high. Because they all wanted to enter the city of Ruyang Mansion and loot this magnificent city by legal means.

Therefore, after Liu Futong commanded his men and horses, and the same number of officers and soldiers had the first confrontation. The Red Turban Army suffered another unprecedented defeat, and this defeat even caused Liu Futong to lose nearly 10,000 horses.

Therefore, after this battle, Liu Futong also had to switch from offensive to defensive, and fought a long defensive battle with Yexian's army.

But even so, Liu Futong is still at a disadvantage. Therefore, after several days of fierce fighting, the two sides could not help but fall into a stalemate.

……

"Kill the thief!" On another day, thousands of officers and soldiers shouted again, and under the incomparably dense rain of guns and arrows, amid the roars and shouts of the generals behind them, they once again launched a charge towards the Red Turban barracks stationed outside the city of Ruyang Prefecture.

"Kill! ~~" The roars of nearly 10,000 soldiers on both sides were simply earth-shattering, and one after another officers and soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

But even so, the officers and soldiers who killed the red-eyed soldiers on the battlefield still fought against the dense arrows of the Red Turban Army, and they were forced to kill outside the camp of the Red Turban Army.

Seeing such a scene, Luo Wensu, who was commanding the battle on the front line, couldn't help waving his hand and shouting: "Brothers, throw me a wooden boulder and smash this group of damned dog tartars to death." ”

Hearing Luo Wensu's words, the red turban sergeant couldn't help but drop hundreds of wooden boulders from the women's wall of the camp for the first time. And the unlucky officers and soldiers who were hit by this extremely heavy wooden boulder were even more injured or disabled.

"Damn, no one is allowed to retreat, give me a forward attack!" On the side of the officers and soldiers, Har Banda, who commanded the operation, couldn't help but stand behind the army after seeing the failure of the attack of the soldiers on the front line, and shouted at the soldiers on the front line.

When the officers and soldiers on the front line heard Halbanda's words, because they were afraid of military law, they couldn't help but resist the rain-like offensive of the Red Turban Army, erected one siege ladder after another on the female wall of the Red Turban Army barracks, and once again launched a desperate attack.

"Go up, don't let a tartar come up!" Seeing the officers and soldiers outside the camp erecting the siege ladder behind the women's wall, Luo Wensu, who was commanding the battle at the front line, couldn't help but shout as he commanded the soldiers under his command.

"Kill the Tartar!" Thousands of red turban sergeants also shouted after receiving Luo Wensu's order. Holding all kinds of weapons, he struggled to meet the officers and soldiers who were killed.

"Smash the hooks on their ladders for me, knock them over, and kill these bastards!" A hundred household officers of the Red Turban Army who were fighting on the front line, after seeing the iron hook on the siege ladder and firmly hooking the female wall, he couldn't help but shout at a team of red turban soldiers holding iron hammers behind him.

When the team of red-turban sergeants with hammers heard the words of the hundred household officials, they also roared to meet them, and with all their strength, they swung the hammers in their hands violently, and smashed them on the iron hooks of the long ladder of the officers and soldiers attacking the city.

The iron hooks used on the siege ladder are not of good quality. Therefore, after the red turban sergeant smashed two hammers, he also broke the iron hook of the siege ladder. Then, after the iron hook was broken, several red-turban soldiers armed with fork-like weapons violently overturned the siege ladder of the officers and soldiers.

The soldiers who were several feet long were overturned, and the officers and soldiers on the long ladder couldn't help but let out a heart-rending exclamation. But no matter how much they exclaimed, it was obviously impossible to change their fate.

"Hahahaha...... Yes! Seeing the officers and soldiers who were churning and screaming on the ground, the officer of the Red Turban Army couldn't help but let out a burst of hearty laughter. But when he was laughing wildly, a stray arrow flew out of nowhere, and it happened to hit the throat of this hundred-household official.

Blood spurted out along the carotid artery of the hundred household officials, and no matter how hard the hundred household officials covered their wounds, they still couldn't change the fate of death.

"Kill!" The earth-shattering shouts of killing had already resounded throughout the battlefield, and it obviously did not have the slightest intention of stopping because of the death of this hundred-household official and the destruction of the siege ladder.

……

This extremely tragic battle lasted for nearly two hours, and after two hours, both sides with incomparably huge losses could not help but choose a temporary truce and stop fighting.

Looking at the red turban barracks in the distance that had been attacked by himself for nearly seven days, but was still strong, Ye Xian, who was the generalissimo of the Yuanmeng Imperial Court, couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"This damn red turban thief is really troublesome, and he follows the shrinking turtle all day long, which really makes Ben Shuai a little clueless! All the monarchs are the best people in the imperial court, I don't know if there is any way to break the enemy as soon as possible? Looking at the generals standing under the tent, he couldn't help but ask.

And hearing such a question, all the generals under the big tent couldn't help but bow their heads and ponder. But what made him extremely angry was that all these guys under the tent looked like they were bowing their heads and contemplating, but none of them stood up and put forward any plans.

So after waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, he couldn't help but say impatiently: "Why, you look brave and resourceful on weekdays." Now, when you need to wait, you have become a puppet. ”

Hearing Ye Xian's words, the generals under the big tent couldn't help lowering their heads. But even so, it is still the same as just now, and no one dares to stand up and offer advice to him.

And seeing this, I finally couldn't suppress the anger in my heart. I saw him wave his sleeves violently and shouted at the many generals under his tent: "It's really useless for me to keep you and wait." Wait for you to retreat quickly, Hugh will be an eyesore in front of my eyes! After saying this, he didn't even look at these people at first, and turned around and left.

Seeing this, many of the generals in the big tent also turned around and left after frowning and arching their hands at Ye Xian's back.

However, when Yexian broke up unhappily because of the discussion of countermeasures, in the northeast hundreds of miles away from here, Zhang Shihua also led more than 10,000 men and horses under his command, and once again slaughtered outside Xiping City.

At this time, Xiping City, because of the massacre of the city by Halbanda, has become a place of death. Therefore, the Yuan army did not garrison soldiers and horses here, so Zhang Shihua easily got the city again.

……

And just when Zhang Shihua led the army to arrive here, half an hour later, in Xiping City, Zhang Shihua, who was surrounded by hundreds of elite soldiers and cavalry, looked at the ruins and scorch marks everywhere in Xiping City, and couldn't help but sigh deeply and said: "Ge Ge is endless, what is the crime of my people." What a sin for my people! ”

After saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but turn over and dismount, strode forward, and slowly knelt on the ground with his robe and said: "The people who died tragically in Xiping City, I, Zhang Shihua, raised troops today to avenge you, if you have a spirit in the sky, please bless me!" ”

After saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but buckle three buttons. And the hundreds of elite soldiers behind him saw Zhang Shihua like this, but they couldn't help but dismount one after another and crawl on the ground.
