Chapter 475: Charcoal in the Snow?

Huanggang City, Huangzhou Road Governance Office, has never stopped shouting and killing in the past few days.

Zhang Mingtong, who led his troops to bypass Huangpi City, in order to capture this city as soon as possible, so that Wuchang City, which is across the river from this city and is a horn of each other, has lost its biggest support, and these days he can't help but use his best skills.

He not only relied on the huge superiority in strength and action to completely cut off the land connection between Huanggang City and the outside world, but also used the cavalry as a foot soldier in the past few days, forcibly drove the people, built siege equipment, and launched sieges again and again.

However, the results were not satisfactory.

As an important town that has been operated by Tianwan for a long time, the city walls of Huanggang City can be said to be a perfect interpretation of what is called impregnable.

Therefore, even though Zhang Mingtong had done his best to attack the city, the final result was no different from the main road army led by Zhao Wei.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the dark guard brigade general named Lin Cheng couldn't help but find Ming Yuzhen on Qizhou Road again.

……

"Lord, are we really going to send troops at this time?" In the marshal's mansion in Qichun City, Qizhou Luzhi, as Ming Yuzhen's brother-in-law and the most powerful general under Ming Yuzhen's account, Wan Sheng looked at Ming Yuzhen, who had already made up his mind to send troops at this time, but his tone and expression couldn't help but look a little disapproving.

"It's really good that the Chu army is strong and strong, but you can also see that for this battle, Tianwan is not without a chance of winning. In this way, my lord, you have made a decision so early, are you a little too anxious? ”

"What, Ah Sheng, do you want me to continue to watch from the wall?"

"Why not. The lord, if you talk about your background, Zhang Shihua, the king of Chu, is just the son of a servant; And that Chen Youliang, his grandfather is a son-in-law. Such two people, the one who can have the lord and your family background is innocent and noble.

It's just that it caught up with the chaos in the world that these two lowly people were able to survive. So, my lord, why should you stoop to these two? ”

Wan Sheng said, but he hugged the grievances for Ming Yuzhen.

But even so, how could Ming Yuzhen not understand the true thoughts of her brother-in-law.

Now before he officially chose one side to take refuge, both sides did not hesitate to make extremely generous promises to him in order to win him. Among them, especially Chen Youliang, he was even willing to appoint himself as Tianwan Pingzhang, and from then on, one person in Tianwan was above ten thousand people.

Therefore, this kind of action of the two sides throwing olive branches can't help but make some of his generals and clams compete with each other.

Naively thought that when Da Chu and Chen Youliang were both defeated in this battle, they would be able to be a fisherman and let him Mingyuzhen replace Chen Youliang.

After all, Chen Youliang's current position in Pingzhang was not obtained by killing Ni Wenjun.

In this way, the monk can touch it, why can't the poor road touch it?

Therefore, they do not want to choose a side at this time. Isn't there a saying that is good, "Rather be the head of a chicken than a phoenix tail". Instead of bending down under other people's tents, where can there be more joy than being the king and hegemon.

But in this regard, Ming Yuzhen couldn't help but feel funny at the short-sightedness and arrogance of the generals under his command.

Sandpiper and clam compete with each other for the fisherman's profit, this sentence is not bad. But who has ever heard that the sandpiper and the mussel compete for the benefit of the shrimp?

Strength, strength is fundamental in troubled times.

In the face of absolute strength, the so-called conspiracy is nothing more than a wooden knife in the hands of a child, without the slightest threat at all.

So for Wan Sheng's words, Ming Yuzhen shook her head, and couldn't help but look at his words and said: "Since the Song Dynasty, the heroes of the world have no matter where they come from. Back then, I had face-to-face contact with Xiangyang and the King of Chu. Although His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a low background, he has a great talent that has passed through the heavens and the earth.

In this battle, although Tianwan also has the power of a battle. But even if it can get lucky and win, it will definitely be a defeat in the face of the two-sided attack of Da Chu and the Yuan Court. And instead of waiting until the dust settles and then going to be the icing on the cake, how about seizing this opportunity and sending charcoal in the snow.

Besides, the price offered by the King of Chu is really not low. Although he can't compare with Chen Youliang's so-called Pingzhang in terms of name, he is also a military marshal who can command 30,000 troops and two route army marshals. This kind of price is really generous for us.

If you want to covet anything else, you are not greedy enough and swallow an elephant with a serpent. ”

"This ......" After hearing Ming Yuzhen's words, knowing that Ming Yuzhen really made up her mind, Wan Sheng, as Ming Yuzhen's confidant, naturally didn't say anything else.

So after bending down to Ming Yuzhen and saluting, and seriously obeying the order, he couldn't help but retreat, and personally summoned all the generals in General Ming Yuzhen.

……

Another day passed, and when he finally repelled the Chu soldiers who launched another siege outside the city, Zuo Zhuzong, the Tianwan general in charge of Huanggang City behind the battle, couldn't help dragging his tired body back to his room.

"General, General." Zhu Zong, who was slumped in his chair and fell asleep with exhaustion as soon as he sat down, slept for less than two quarters of an hour, and the commander of his own army couldn't help but wake him up from his sleep carefully.

"Good news, good news, good news, general. Reinforcements, our reinforcements are finally coming. ”

The commander of the guards said excitedly, and he couldn't help but make Zhu Zong, who heard this in a daze, suddenly become sober and excited.

Therefore, Zhu Zong, who came to his senses all of a sudden, couldn't help but snatch the report sent by Wuchang from the hand of the commander of the guard, stared at him, and read the content with full attention.

"Hahahaha, good, good. Finally, reinforcements are finally coming, reinforcements are finally coming! Looking at the content of the newspaper, Zhu Zong, who has been frowning these days, couldn't help but laugh in front of his subordinates.

"Quick, give me a hundred copies of this telegram about reinforcements, and I will let all the defenders in the city know the good news by this evening." Zhu Zong's face was full of joy and commanded, and the decadence of the past couldn't help but be swept away because of this report.

Two days later, Marshal Luming of Qizhou will lead his army to arrive as scheduled, and then he will join General Zhang Dingbian Zhang to attack the Chu army!

In less than two hours, this extremely exciting news couldn't help but spread throughout Huanggang City like the wind.

After knowing such an exact news, the morale of the defenders of Huanggang City could not help but be greatly boosted. And this couldn't help but make it easy for him to repel an attack launched by the Chu army outside the city in the next two days.

……

It took two days, twenty-four hours.

When the defenders of Wuchang City and Huanggang City endured this incomparably long waiting process hour by hour, an army of 30,000 people could not help but take all kinds of ships along the vast Yangtze River to the north to Wuchang and enter the field of vision of the defenders of Wuchang.

"Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming!" Seeing such a reinforcement that seemed to be a life-saving straw, the thousands of defenders on the Wuchang side couldn't help but shout excitedly.

After all, the endless war these days is too torturous.

Now, seeing with their own eyes the arrival of reinforcements that seemed to be out of sight, how could the soldiers not be excited.

Even at this time, not to mention these soldiers, even Zhang Dingbian, who was personally sitting in the water village, couldn't help but show a heartfelt smile on his face when he saw this.

"General, with this reinforcement, we finally don't have to worry about relying on our own large number of troops and not necessarily starting a wheel war with the Chu army!"

"Haha, that's right, Chu Jun is definitely going to return in vain this time!"

"In vain? They are so beautiful, this time they come for no reason, we must make them look good! ”

On the lookout platform in the water village, looking at the huge fleet of ships rushing up the river towards this side, all the heavenly generals couldn't help but laugh with ease and joy.

However, when they found that this huge reinforcement fleet had been traveling at a very fast speed to the waterway that was only three or five miles away from the water village, there was not the slightest tendency to slow down, and the smile on the faces of the generals couldn't help but gradually retract.

"Damn, Ming Yuzhen rebelled, this is not a reinforcement, this is not a reinforcement!" On the high platform, when Zhang Dingbian saw with his own eyes, a small boat of his own, which was mercilessly pretended to be pieces by the big ship on Ming Yuzhen's side, he was smart and naturally understood everything immediately.

So at this time, he couldn't help but wave his arms and shout to the left and right: "Quick, put the water grate, organize the defense line, block them, block them!" ”

Zhang Dingbian's voice at this time was really hoarse, but it was obviously too late for anyone to give such an order until this time.

Before the surrounding heralds with chaotic heads could convey Zhang Dingbian's order, Ming Yuzhen's so-called reinforcements had already rushed straight into the water village with an unstoppable momentum, directly under the frightened gaze of the Tianwan soldiers in the water village.

……

"The time has come, soldiers, kill me !!" At the same time, Zhao Wei's side, who has not been able to achieve any decisive results, naturally cannot miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in vain.

So when he saw the fireworks that were used as a signal sounding in the air, he had already mobilized his troops and horses in his water village, so he couldn't help but immediately command the troops under his command and launched a two-sided attack on Tianwan Water Village.

Therefore, in an instant, Tianwan Water Village, which was still happy, could not help but be shrouded in an atmosphere of fear in an instant.

"The general is finished, it's all over. We're defeated, we're defeated! In a short period of time, they fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, and those generals couldn't help but lose all their spirit at once, crying and howling, and they were frightened like a frightened rabbit.

Therefore, seeing this, Zhang Dingbian couldn't help but feel in a trance, his legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

However, Zhang Dingbian is a determined person in the end, although he already knows that he will be defeated at this time, but he has not yet lost all hopes.

So after trying to stabilize his emotions, Zhang Dingbian couldn't help but shout left and right at the top of his throat: "Go, abandon the ship immediately, and follow me ashore to break through!" ”

"Yes, yes." Hearing Zhang Dingbian's words, the surrounding panicked subordinates couldn't help but seem to have found the backbone, and hurriedly agreed twice, and then they couldn't help but hug Zhang Dingbian together and stay away from the huge flagship of the target, and rushed towards the shore along a pontoon bridge passage that was already full of routs.

"The marshal has an order, whoever catches and kills Zhang Dingbian will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to the third level!" For this famous Tianwan Tiger, both Zhao Wei and Ming Yuzhen attach great importance to it.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Dingbian and a group of subordinates rushed to the shore in embarrassment, shouts similar to this couldn't help but sound on the river and both banks.

Hearing such shouts and killings, Zhang Dingbian, who knew that he could not stay here for a long time, didn't care about anything else, hurriedly greeted him, and couldn't help but take the nearly 100 subordinates beside him along the south bank and frantically fled towards the east.

"Zhang Dingbian, that person is Zhang Dingbian, don't let him get away. Give me chase, chase! On a warship near the south bank, Wan Sheng, who was encircling and suppressing the rout under his command, couldn't help but coincidentally see Zhang Dingbian fleeing frantically with nearly 100 subordinates at this time.

Therefore, after hurriedly letting out such a loud roar, Wan Sheng couldn't help but hurriedly beckon his subordinates to come to the shore and personally hunt down Zhang Dingbian, the famous tiger of the end of the world.

As for Zhang Dingbian, whose whereabouts had been exposed at this time, when he found that the enemy soldiers around him began to encircle and kill him, what he did was really worthy of being praised by Chen Youliang as the tiger of the three armies.

Wearing armor and holding on to his life, he took the lead in the charge, and went all the way to the east, and there was no enemy at all.

But all those who tried to stop him were cut down by him, not to mention, in the chaos of the battle, Zhang Dingbian, who could already be said to be in a desperate situation, even relied on his extraordinary bravery to snatch a small warship close to the shore from the side of the rebellious Ming army and tried to surround him from the front.

"Damn, a bunch of shit. Quick, chase, catch up with him for me, catch up with him! Later, Wan Sheng, who personally led the troops to chase and kill Zhang Dingbian, saw that the hundreds of soldiers under his command not only failed to leave Zhang Dingbian behind, but were also captured by Zhang Dingbian because of carelessness A small warship that was easy to stand up, and had a chance to escape.

Wan Sheng, who knew that he couldn't let the tiger return to the mountain, couldn't help but be angry, scolded like this, beckoned the crossbowmen in this army, and was about to attack Zhang Dingbian and others who had already boarded the ship.

However, he still underestimated Zhang Dingbian too much.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was more than 70 paces, and it is said that at such a distance, Zhang Dingbian and his party, who did not have any bow and crossbow in their hands at all, could only be beaten passively. But just after Wan Sheng commanded hundreds of soldiers to shoot a wave of arrows at Zhang Dingbian and the others on the warship, he couldn't help but hear a tiger roar from the warship.
