Chapter 553: Unlucky Tian Hu

Wu Song was ordered by Niu Gao to ambush in Ligu Town, north of Wucheng, Tian was bound to flee for his life, and he must go north, and this Ligu Town became the only way. Wu Song took a simple knife and pointed at the people opposite.

"The thief on the other side, who is Tian Ding, if he dismounts and surrenders, he can save his life!" Wu Song was a new member of the Dingguo Army, and he had never made any great achievements, and he wore the military uniform of Dutou Colonel, so Tian Ding and others did not take Wu Song seriously. Feng Pei, the first fierce general under Tian Ding, also regarded Wu Song as a soft persimmon, clenched the phoenix mouth knife and shouted, "Brothers, protect the son and go first, this person will be handed over to a certain family!" ”

Seeing Feng Pei's reaction, Wu Song frowned, and a wave of anger surged in his heart, he was actually underestimated, hum, he still wanted to escape, the net laid by General Niu himself was so easy to escape? Facing Feng Pei, without saying a word, Wu Song lowered his body and rushed to hit the horse, Feng Pei relied on his extraordinary force, and slashed with a knife, this move did not think about Wu Song's life, but just wanted to rely on his strength to knock this man off the horse. Feng Pei is not wrong to think so, Wu Song has a simple knife in his hand, and his strength cannot be used, and Feng Pei has a phoenix mouth knife that is suitable for chopping immediately, and he is born with an advantage, not to mention that Feng Pei is confident that his strength is amazing, so he feels that this man who can knock with a knife is numb.

The two horses staggered, choking, and to Feng Pei's great surprise, Wu Song just shook and did not fall off the horse. When the horse was wrong, Wu Song's legs stepped on the stirrups, and with a little force, the whole person jumped up, turned over, and fell behind Feng Pei. In the blink of an eye, he rolled off the horse.

Kill Feng Pei. Wu Song does not stop. continued to pursue, and sure enough, within a few miles of pursuit, he saw that the remnants of Tian Ding's department had fallen into the siege set by Niu Gao. Tian Ding, as the son of Tian Hu, has no possibility of surrendering, and leads people to fight desperately with Niu Gao's department. Niu Gao originally wanted to capture Tian Ding alive, but seeing that Tian Ding was so fierce, he no longer had the idea of capturing him alive. After getting Niu Gao's order, Wu Song and Yang Zhi rushed to kill Tian Ding. Rao is Tian must have a bit of kung fu, which is the opponent of Wu Song and Yang Zhi, when he ran away, he was caught up by Wu Song from behind and cut his head with a knife.

On June 19 of the fourth year of Xuanhe, after one day, the Dingguo army annihilated Ma Ling and Wucheng Tian Ding in the Qing Dynasty with very small casualties, killing and wounding countless prisoners, among which Ma Ling, the general under Tian Huzuo, was killed, and the eldest son Tian Ding and his brother-in-law Wu Li were killed. Of course, it was so easy to win. It is also entirely because there is a contradiction between Tian Ding and Ma Ling, and both sides have a kind of intention to support each other to death. His Royal Highness Zhao can play some intrigues and tricks, and he just follows the trend. There are more than 30,000 people in Ma Ling's department and Tian's Ding's department, so many soldiers and horses, even if they can't defeat the Dingguo army, as long as they hold Wucheng tightly, it is absolutely impossible for the Dingguo army to win lightly.

The news of Wucheng's defeat soon spread to Cangzhou, after getting the news, Tian Hu still couldn't believe it, he lost more than 30,000 troops in one day, and also folded his own son and brother-in-law, and even the general Ma Ling was killed, how can this be believed, let alone 30,000 troops, even 30,000 pigs can't be defeated so simply, right? No wonder Tian Hu doesn't believe it, Dingguo Army is not a god, how can it be so powerful? It's a pity that Tian Hu doesn't know what kind of journey his brother and his son have reached because of the power struggle. The next day, on the twentieth day of June, a few horses and a few down-and-out soldiers from the south were holding a few wooden boxes. When a few wooden boxes were placed in front of Tian Hu, the thief who had been crisscrossing Hebei and Hedong for more than ten years shook his body, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

It turned out that what was in the wooden box was not a good thing, but the heads of Tian Ding, Ma Ling, Wu Li and others.

Of course, Zhao Yougong deliberately gave the head to Tian Hu, in order to provoke him. According to Tang Miao's investigation, although Tian Hu has been in a high position for many years, his temperament is still average, and he is extremely hot. At this time, Tian Hu and the generals made a big mistake, they decided to gather most of the troops and horses to fight a decisive battle with the Dingguo army in the area of Hejian Province.

The civil and military ministers were excited, only the two of them frowned, these two were Qiao Wei and Bian Xiang, the left and right military advisors under Tian Hu, the two glanced at each other, Bian Xiang came out of the column and said, "The king, the art of war is cloudy, and the army can be raised because of anger. Now the national army is coming, the combat power is strong, when slowly trying to do it, you can't fight hard, and I hope that the king will think more, don't fall for the tricks of the Zhao family. ”

Tian Hu is not a great talent, Bian Xiang chattered a lot, he understood that "will not raise troops out of anger", without waiting for Tian Hu to speak, Tian Biao on the side had already stared over, "Okay, you Bian Xiang, now that the eldest prince died at the hands of the official army, you don't want to think about how to take revenge, what else do you want the official army to eat us one by one?" ”

Tian Biao spoke, and immediately got the echo of many people, Tian Hu pale face, waved his hand, and hummed impatiently, "The military advisor doesn't need to say much, he must take that Zhao Yougong's dog's head, the big war is ahead, whoever dares to talk nonsense will disturb the morale of the army." ”

Tian Hu said this, how dare Bian Xiang say more, he could only look at Qiao Wei, and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Hejian Mansion is located in the north of Jizhou, west of Cangzhou, this place is famous not only for the Hejian Plain, but also for the donkey meat between the rivers, but unfortunately now in this year, donkeys, horses and cattle are scarce, the imperial court strictly prohibits slaughtering without permission, so there are very few donkey meat to sell, and it is secretly sold to sell. There are Enzhou and Jizhou between Hejian Mansion and Daimyo Mansion, and the foundation of the Dingguo Army is in Guanzhong, so it can be regarded as a guest in this Hebei land, Zhao Yougong is in a hurry to send troops to Hejian Mansion, which looks really unwise. But Zhao Yougong did this, naturally he had his own reasons, he came to Hebei, not only to destroy Tianhu, but also to guard against Yeluchun in the north. To destroy Tian Hu, it is necessary to destroy Tian Hu's forces with lightning speed, and Ye Luchun must not be given time to dispatch troops. If it takes too much and entangles for too long, and finally destroys Tian Hu, but gives the entire Cangzhou, Xiongzhou and other places to Yeluchun, then there is not much difference between winning and not winning this battle, because in Zhao Yougong's opinion, the Liao soldiers under Yeluchun are far more terrible than Tian Hu.

On June 24, several official documents were sent from the Daimyo's Mansion, and then Zhao Yougong took Niu Gao, Xiao Yue, and Lin Chong as generals, and sent troops to Hejian Mansion in three ways. Threatens Cangzhou to the east. Zhao Yougong and Yang Zaixing led an army of 5,000 in the rear. The Dingguo Army is menacing. It is impossible for Tian Hu not to react, and after getting the news on the same day, he will gather all the soldiers and horses in Xiongzhou, Mozhou and other places to Hejian Mansion, and seal Tian Biao as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and coordinate the dispatch of soldiers and horses from all walks of life.

There is a big war brewing in Hebei, and some people are really happy and some are worried, and the happiest of them is the current official Zhao Ji. Somehow, he was looking forward to Tian Hu killing that nephew, in his heart, the big thief Tian Hu was much easier to deal with than that nephew. In addition to Zhao Ji, there is another person who is also very happy, he is Ye Luchun who is sitting in Nanjing Xijin Mansion. Ye Luchun had long been looking forward to Zhao Yougong and Tian Hu eating dogs, as he expected, Zhao Yougong led the Dingguo Army to Hebei, and Shun Lì seized the military and political power, and replaced most of the important officials with his own people. He also used the power in his hands to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Hedong and Hebei, and had the intention of swallowing Tianhu's forces in one go.

Since Zhao Yougong's order was issued. In the past few days, the troops and horses in Hedong of Hebei Province have been mobilized very frequently, the current Shenzhou horse infantry commander Yang Weizhong sent troops to Qizhou, the current Yongning Army commander He Shu also deployed most of the troops and horses at the junction of Mozhou and Hejian Province, and the old general Zhao Ming, the commander of the Dezhou soldiers and horses, sent troops to Dongguang County in the south of Hejian Province. Of course, there are other troop mobilizations, in short, from all aspects, it seems that Zhao Yougong really wants to use the ambush strategy from all sides to swallow Tian Hu in one bite, and Tian Hu doesn't seem to see this, and he is determined to fight with the court to win or lose.

Tian Biao gathered troops and gathered troops and horses from all kinds of gatherings, and within a few days, more than 100,000 troops were active in various parts of Hejian Province, and the clouds of war pressed on the heads of the people of Hejian, and perhaps the next moment, they would become unlucky ghosts in the war.

On the night of June 29, at the same time, Yang Zaixing raided Leshou County in the south of Hejian Province with cavalry, Leshou County guard Suo Xian and Chen Xuan could not react, and Yang Zaixing led the troops to raid successfully in just half an hour, in a battle, Suo Xian and Chen Xuan died under the cavalry charge, and more than 4,000 people defending the city all fled. After Yang Zaixing seized Leshou County, he did not stop, and went directly out of the city to the north, just when Tian Biao organized the army to resist Yang Zaixing's cavalry, but he did not expect that Yang Zaixing led the cavalry to disappear on the vast river plain. Yang Zaixing and the more than 3,000 cavalry of the department really disappeared, they did not go to Beilin Town, which was close to Hejian Mansion, let alone Dongcheng County, and waited until dawn, they still did not find this elite cavalry, and overnight, this cavalry disappeared out of thin air after hitting Leshou County.

Three thousand cavalry, head-to-head confrontation may not be afraid, but when this cavalry cannot be found, there will be a deep sense of crisis, as if being stared at by a poisonous snake. Tian Biao panicked, Qiao Wei was also uneasy, after everyone discussed, they strictly ordered all departments not to send troops to loot the place, and they must assemble in large groups in case they were given the opportunity for the cavalry of the national army to break through. On June 30, that is, the day after Yang Zaixing raided Leshou County and mysteriously disappeared, Zhao Yougong led the remaining hundreds of soldiers and horses into Dongguang County, and on the same day, Xiao Yue led nearly 10,000 troops to approach Dongguang County, and in just one day, the small Dongguang County actually gathered Zhao Yougong, Xiao Yue and Zhao Ming, together there were more than 20,000 people. I thought that more than 20,000 people would take advantage of the opportunity to enter Leshou County, but who would have thought that Zhao Yougong would wave his banner and 20,000 troops would go directly out of Dongguang County and storm Nanpi City.

Nanpi, also known as the ancient city of Nanpi, is located in the south of Cangzhou, close to Hejian Mansion, the Three Kingdoms Wei and Jin were under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, and the Song Dynasty was under the Cangzhou system, so it is not an exaggeration to call Nanpi now the southern gateway of Cangzhou. Zhao Yougong led Zhao Ming and Xiao Yue to attack Nanpi, Nanpi guards Wu Neng, Kou Shen and others did not deal enough, plus Zhao Yougong had already prepared, with a combination of inside and outside to break the north gate of the south, after two hours of fierce fighting, Wu Neng was killed, Kou Shen led the remnants to surrender, to the end of the 30th, the whole territory of Nanpi fell.

Nanpi fell, Tian Hu, who stayed in Cangzhou to recuperate, immediately panicked, and now even a fool knows how despicable and shameless Zhao Yougong is, and uses various methods to hook most of Tian Hu's soldiers and horses to Hejian Mansion, waiting for everyone to think that he wants to divide the victory and defeat in Hejian Mansion, he suddenly killed Cangzhou, which is really cunning. Of course, what worries Tian Hu is also the elite cavalry of Yang Zaixing's department that mysteriously disappeared in Hejian Mansion, if that cavalry is coming to Cangzhou, with Yang Zaixing's ability to use troops, coupled with the army under Zhao Yougong, can Cangzhou still be protected? Since most of the troops were thrown into Hejian Mansion, all the troops in the entire Cangzhou added up to more than 30,000, of which there were less than 15,000 in Cangzhou City.

Tian Hu has been on the battlefield for more than ten years, and there is still basic military common sense, since Cangzhou City does not need to be defended, then give up decisively, on the same day, Tian Hu ordered to abandon Cangzhou, and all the troops in Cangzhou moved closer to the west of Hejian Fujing Town. From Cangzhou to Jingcheng Town, there is a Fuyang River to cross in the middle, at night, Tian Hu's department arrived at the Fuyang River, in order to gain time, he could only cross the river overnight, but he never thought that Lin Chong and Luda and others had already waited in the Fuyang River, and when Tian Hu's department crossed the river half, Lin Chong ordered the soldiers to release arrows to block the enemy, for a time the arrows were like rain, and the Tianhu soldiers and horses in the river suffered heavy casualties, and the corpses were filled with the not too wide Fuyang River after a while.

When Lin Chong's department attacked, Tian Hu's whole person was a little stunned, he didn't know how Lin Chong's department appeared in the area of the Fuyang River, because before that, he didn't get any information at all. There are more than 8,000 people in Lin Chong's department, how can he hide it from everyone's eyes? Tian Hu couldn't figure it out, and Tian Biao and the others couldn't figure it out, but the method that Lin Chong could use to appear in the area of the Fuyang River was not surprising. Last night, Yang Zaixing raided Leshou County, the entire Leshou County was in a mess, the remnants of Leshou County and the people fled in chaos, Lin Chong just let the soldiers and horses of the department be replaced by the people, and he escaped everyone's ears and eyes. As for coming to Fuyang River, he didn't wait for Tian Hu, but for other reasons, Tian Hu ran into Lin Chong, which could only be regarded as unlucky.

His Royal Highness Zhao is not an immortal, and Zhu Wu is not an immortal, it is impossible for them to anticipate the enemy step by step, let alone know whether Tian Hu will abandon the city and come out, as for when Tian Hu will arrive at Fuyang River, it is even more difficult to know. Lin Chong was a blind cat who ran into a dead mouse, but Tian Hu didn't think so, he thought that Lin Chong was specifically coming at him, and he panicked for a while, and ordered the army stationed in Hejian Mansion to come to the rescue.
