"Damn!" Zhao Chengtai scolded angrily, in order to remove the thistle, the soldiers had to spend more time, and after removing the thistle, antlers and other things, it was over for nearly an hour. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info I don't know how many other places there are thistles waiting for them ahead.

Zhao Chengtai had to slow down in case Zhou Hongzuo laid a trap at any time.

For Zhou Zong, this retreat is life-threatening, and if it fails, his life is likely to be lost. Although Zhou Hongzuo was short-circuited behind, as time passed, Zhou Zong became more and more anxious, and he would be relieved to return to Datang earlier, so he urged the soldiers all the way to hurry as soon as possible.

After walking for more than two hours, the sun hung on the top of the tree, and the three armies forcibly marched for nearly a hundred miles, all of them out of breath and physically exhausted.

"Zhou Situ, it's not early, the three armies are also tired, it's time to rest." Chen Qu, the general of the Praetorian Guard, comforted. Chen is not very old, born in the Chen family in Luling, his grandfather Chen Yue was the secretary of the Tang Dynasty Military Department, and his uncle Chen Jun was first a member of the Zhongshu House, and now he is an official of the Ministry of Officials.

Zhou Zong glanced at the sky, the sun was about to set, it was dark, and it was inconvenient to do anything. Although Zhou Zong was anxious to return to the Tang Dynasty, the camp still had to be built, even if it was the simplest, it was necessary to build one, otherwise, it would be very unsafe at night.

Building a camp is a technical job, and the location chosen should also be good, otherwise it is likely to become a horse, after Zhou Zong agreed, he asked the soldiers to choose a place where they could be stationed. In the area from Hangzhou to Huzhou, there were dense woods and many rivers, so the soldiers chose a place near the hills and stationed them, cut down the trees, and built a large camp as proposed.

Soon after the camp was built, Zhou Hongzuo also came back with his troops, although he used thistles, antlers and other things to slow down the speed of Wu Yue's army, but the rear army still fought with Wu Yue's pursuers, Zhou Hongzuo lost more than 20 people, and finally arrived.

The Tang army was numerous, Zhao Chengtai naturally did not dare to step forward, but waited for the news, after the scouts investigated, Zhao Chengtai also chose a place to station, he sent people to patrol around, and the other soldiers seized the time to rest.

When night fell, Zhao Chengtai sneaked up with the scouts and stopped more than 300 steps away from the Tang army camp, which was brightly lit and the soldiers were patrolling around, and the defense looked very tight.

"Tang Dog is very vigilant." A soldier muttered, these days, Wu Yuebing is trapped in the city of Hangzhou, watching Zhou Zong slaughter everywhere, he has long held a bad breath in his heart, and now Zhou Zong has retreated with all his food, and everyone is eager to kill the enemy.

"They are very tired after a day of running, don't rush, wait for the opportunity." Zhao Chengtai commanded.

Wu Yuebing suppressed the anxiety in his heart and spread out towards the Tang army camp, looking for the flaws in the Tang army camp. The night was getting darker and quieter. Zhao Chengtai slowly touched the soldiers with his soldiers, and the closer he got to the Tang army camp, the more careful Zhao Chengtai became.

Zhao Chengtai hid in the dark, waited for two hours, and still did not find the flaws of the Tang army, seeing that the sky was gradually brightening, Zhao Chengtai had to choose to retreat and seize the time to rest.

Early the next morning, the Tang army was still after Zhou Hongzuo broke off, after the army ate porridge, mustered up all the strength, rushed to the north, Zhou Zong sent three other teams of soldiers, each pair has more than 100 people, everyone riding war horses, robbing everywhere, trying to seize food, expand the living space.

Zhou Zong was in the Chinese army, walking with his own soldiers, along the way, Zhou Zong's mood was very bad, for him, he didn't get the credit, so he retreated, it was too much of a failure. At this time, he did not know that about five miles ahead, more than 1,000 people were lying in ambush in the dense forest.

It is about 50 miles away from Huzhou, because Huzhou has not experienced much war, and as the front line of the war with the Tang Dynasty, Huzhou has a certain number of troops, and has been recuperating for a period of time, and its combat effectiveness is very strong.

These soldiers, under the leadership of Huzhou commander Shen Chengli, were ambushed in the dense forest. Shen Chengli is a native of Huzhou, as a Huzhou surname, the Shen family has great power, even the Qian family has to rely on the strength of the Shen family. Because the Qian family was very good to the Shen family, the Shen family reciprocated the favor and was loyal to Wu Yueguo.

When Shen Chengli was besieged in Hangzhou, he did not rush to support Hangzhou, because he synthesized the situation in all aspects and came to a conclusion that Yang Lian did not have many soldiers and horses and could not take Hangzhou, and Zhou Zong, who had the advantage in the army, was alone in the depths, and Qian Wenfeng had cut off his grain route from Zhongwu Jiedu, and Zhou Zong had fallen into a food crisis, even if Yang Lian helped him, the food consumption of tens of thousands of troops was very huge, and it would definitely not be able to support many ten days.

Shen Chengli sent scouts to pay close attention to the news from Hangzhou, and when Zhou Zong retreated, he got the news as soon as possible. For this reason, he rushed here in advance with his troops. The rivers in this area are crisscrossed, and Shen Chengli calculated that if Zhou Zong wants to return to the Tang Dynasty, he can only take this road, as long as he lays out in advance, he may be able to capture Zhou Zong.

Shen Chengli waited for two days, in the past two days, the soldiers have been resting in the dense forest, in order not to let the hovering birds and finches attract the attention of the enemy, Shen Chengli made preparations in advance, let people shoot the birds, these two days to hunt at least more than five hundred birds, under Shen Chengli's strong attack, the birds were afraid, far away, dare not set foot in this feared dense forest.

Therefore, when the Tang army passed by on both sides of the dense forest, they did not find the Wu Yue army ambushed here.

"Commander Shen, Tang Dog is here!" One of the heads said.

Shen Chengli nodded, he was wearing a hat made of leaves on his head, and his body was also covered with leaves or long grass, even if he looked closely, he might not be able to see it.

Another Dutou said in a low voice: "Commander Shen, kill?" ”

"Don't worry, this is just a pioneer, the big fish is still behind, and the big ones will be caught in a while." Shen Chengli seemed very patient.

The two heads stopped talking and continued to observe the movements of the Tang army, the first batch of Tang troops walked cautiously, and even a few soldiers observed outside the dense forest, but in the end they found nothing, and they all left with a happy face.

After waiting for another half an hour, more and more Tang troops passed by, and the flags became more and more, Shen Chengli was able to calm down and continue to wait, the flag of the Tang Army became bigger and bigger, and a banner embroidered with the word "Zhou" finally appeared in front of Shen Chengli.

"Order, prepare!" Shen Chengli said.

"Whoa!" Several of them agreed, scattered in all directions, and went to inform their subordinates.

Wu Yuejun slowly arched himself and waited. Shen Chengli kept calculating the distance, and when the commander of the Tang Army entered the ambush range, he decisively gave an order: "Kill!" ”

Wu Yuejun had already prepared sharp weapons, and as soon as they pulled the rope behind them, the mechanism was activated, and countless sharpened wooden stakes and bamboo knots flew out, and the whistling wind attracted the attention of the Tang army, and by the time they found out that there was an ambush, it was already too late.

"Ahh The soldiers screamed miserably, and most of the soldiers who were hit by the sharp stakes and pointed bamboo knots were killed.

"Enemy, enemy attack!" The Tang soldiers were shocked and shouted one after another, and suddenly became confused, they didn't know where Wu Yuejun was, and the sudden attack made them feel helpless.

Wu Yuejun prepared a lot of mechanisms, and the sharp wooden stakes continued to take the lives of the Tang soldiers, and the attacks were wave after wave, which made people unable to breathe at all.

"Enemy attack?" Seeing his subordinates so confused, Zhou Zong, who was later in the position, couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw it. Soon, a soldier came with the news that the soldier in front had indeed been attacked. What's going on? Zhou Zong was taken aback, didn't the front army find an ambush?

However, at this time, it was obviously not the time to think about this problem, and Zhou Zong immediately sent troops to support the front and tried to eliminate the ambush soldiers. However, Zhou Zong obviously overestimated the adaptability of his subordinates, and also underestimated the combat effectiveness of Wu Yuejun.

When the Tang army reinforcements joined, the organs of the Wu Yue army were helpless at all, but because of the increase in numbers, the situation was even worse because of the large number of people, and the lethality of the organs of the Wu Yue army was even greater, and the wounded Tang army was running around, but it disturbed more robes and disrupted their steps.

After Wu Yuejun started the organs, the ambush soldiers were killed, and the two sides entered the stage of short-term combat, Wu Yuejun had already prepared and had sufficient physical strength, on the other hand, the Tang army, walked for more than two hours, and the physical strength was exhausted to varying degrees, and suddenly encountered an ambush, and the resistance was weak, and Wu Yueren killed a piece of armor.

The front team of the Tang army began to retreat, but the soldiers behind wanted to come forward to resist, colliding with each other, such a chaotic situation caused the lack of resistance, Wu Yue people took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, one by one like a tiger down the mountain, the Tang soldiers were defeated and retreated, and gradually retreated to the position where Zhou Zong was.

Zhou Zong rode on the war horse, frowned, and the front army retreated, could it be said that Wu Yue people were so powerful?

"Pass the order, go forward, if there is any more retreat, there will be no forgiveness!" Zhou Zong ordered, he knew, that the Tang army had to be stopped from retreating.

"Whoa!" The soldiers stepped forward and shouted loudly, trying to stop the rout of the robe. However, the defeated soldiers came one after another, and the personal soldiers killed seven or eight people in a row, which could not stop the momentum of the rout of the Tang army.

"Run!" Some of the soldiers of the Tang Army shouted loudly, and at this time in their hearts, there was only this thought.

"Kill, kill them!" Zhou Zong shouted loudly, the rout of the front army will inevitably disrupt the formation in the rear, plus there are chasing soldiers behind, so the soldiers must not mess up. Around Zhou Zong, more than fifty personal soldiers had already gathered over to protect him.

The rout is getting closer and closer, the sound of fighting, the sound of Jin Ge is already clearly audible, Zhou Zong can even see the hideous faces of the soldiers of Wu Yuejun, they are slashing and slashing in the crowd, every time the knife falls, a Tang soldier will fall, the blood donation has stained the ground red, stained their faces red, these things come from the messenger of hell? They took their lives one by one.

"Kill! The commander of the Don Army is in front! Suddenly, a clear voice came, Zhou Zong heard it, he couldn't help but be stunned, he looked for the source of the sound, and found that it was a tall general Wu Yue, who was commanding his subordinates. (To be continued.) )
