Chapter 330: Leping is on fire
Liu Wuzhou's general Cheng Fang was just about to scold, when he heard a sound of footsteps outside, and then a team of people appeared and directly surrounded the place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Everyone was so frightened that they almost didn't sit on the chairs, and even the chopsticks in their hands fell off. Liu Dewei pointed to the blue-faced man led by him and said, "Come, let me introduce it to you; This is the demon king of the Great Demon Kingdom, Chitose Cheng Zhijie. He had already led a large army to help Li Tang, so Liu Wuzhou's days were no longer long. I hope that everyone will be able to understand the situation clearly and never make mistakes about themselves. ā
As soon as everyone heard that it was Cheng Zhijie, who had defeated Yuwen Chengdu, they were so frightened that they were all smart, and the sweat on their heads flowed down.
"Andy Lau is the one who seeks glory from the Lord, you must not die well!" Someone yelled and rushed up to arrest Liu Dewei, but Yang Jingxuan went up and kicked him to the ground, and then cut off his head with a knife in his hand.
The rest of the people shuddered and then didn't dare to speak. Cheng Zhijie laughed and said: "Very good, the person who knows the times is Junjie, everyone is right to cooperate so much!" What kind of thing is Liu Wuzhou? At best, he is a bandit, and he can't make a big climate; It's good that everyone can abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
After that, you don't have to do anything, continue to drink and eat meat, but please hand over your talismans for a while, and I'll invite you to watch a good show. As soon as he said that, he waved his hand, and Liang Shitai and the others rushed forward to ask for the talisman.
Liang Shitai stretched out his big hand and came to Cheng Fang and said, "Take it!" Cheng Fang shuddered, and after a little hesitation, he twisted his arm to touch it in his arms.
Cheng Fang felt like he was caught by iron tongs, and even his bones were about to break; Hurriedly shouted: "Slow down!" Slow down! I'll get it! I'll get it! Then he quickly took out the talisman and gave it to Liang Shitai.
Liang Shitai snorted coldly, and then let him go; handed over the talisman to Cheng Zhijie. Lao Cheng smiled and said, "Everyone continue, I'll come when I go!" "Saying that, he led the people to stride away."
Liu Dewei smiled and said: "Come on, take this corpse away, don't spoil everyone's interest; Let's keep drinking! So saying, he sat down and raised his glass; Where did everyone still have the heart to drink, but when they saw the soldiers around them pressing their hands on the hilt of their swords, they had to raise their wine glasses with a wry smile.
This meal was not hard, and it was not until the second half of the night that Cheng Zhijie came back with a bloody axe and said: "Okay, everything has been arranged!" Come out of town with me to watch a fireworks show! ā
said that he and Liu Dewei pressed everyone out of Leping City; Along the way, they saw many people carrying food outside with the soldiers, and piling up the firewood in the granary.
The grain was distributed to the people who helped, and the people smiled happily, and each person carried a bag and ran quickly.
"Boom!" The flames flew up, reflecting half of the sky, and they felt the heat of being roasted far away. Cheng Zhijie said to Liu Dewei: "General Liu, this Liu Wuzhou will definitely come back to rescue if he gets the letter; You arrange for someone to detain these people first, and I will lead people to ambush and kill them for a while. ā
Liu Dewei said: "The war is without me Liu Dewei, let's go together!" Jingxuan, you come and press them. Saying that, he gathered his men and left with Cheng Zhijie.
Yang Jingxuan sighed and said to everyone: "Everyone, now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, I hope you will recognize the situation; Cooperate well; Otherwise, Hugh blames Yang for being rude. ā
Cheng Zhijie and Liu Dewei had just laid an ambush in Baiyang Mountain, and Liu Wuzhou ran back with his soldiers. Now Liu Wuzhou can no longer see the high-spirited appearance of the past, and ran back all the way back as if he was being chased by a dog, and the team was more than ten miles long because of the unevenness.
Cheng Zhijie and the others only had 3,000 people, and they let go of Liu Wuzhou's vanguard elite troops, and then rushed down with a loud shout; Cut off the enemy's army.
Liu Wuzhou didn't expect that the enemy would have reinforcements at all, and when he saw Cheng Zhijie, he thought that the Great Demon Kingdom and Li Tang had joined forces; He was even more frightened, and he turned around and ran.
The troops behind were all old and weak soldiers who had fought for a day, and they had already exhausted themselves after running so far in one breath. They were killed by Cheng Zhijie and their new force, and they were immediately killed and crushed everywhere, trampling on each other and killing and injuring countless people.
It was the general Feng Duan who led the team behind, and when he saw Cheng Zhijie taking the lead in cutting down many obstacles and rushing over, he shouted and urged the horse to come to the battle; As a result, Cheng Zhijie cut off the big knife with an axe, and then split him into two pieces with an axe.
"The enemy general is dead, lay down your arms and spare you from dying!" Cheng Zhijie shouted, and these soldiers shouted: "Put down your weapons and spare you from death!" Lay down your arms and spare you from dying! ā
When Liu Wuzhou's army heard this, some of them quickly threw down their hands and raised their hands to surrender, and some of them disappeared into the dark mountain forest.
After a night of fighting, Liu Wuzhou lost his troops and could no longer care about returning to save Leping, and led people to withdraw to Taiyuan. Cheng Zhijie ordered someone to report to Wei Zeguan.
Li Xiuning and the others were so tired that they almost collapsed, although they had a good opportunity to chase and kill later, they had no way to attack. They didn't care about the blood on the ground, so they squatted down and sat down; Those bold soldiers of the Great Demon Kingdom were still squatting on the dead corpses, ignoring the blood stains on their hands, picking up the dry food and gnawing it in a big gulp.
"Good news!" Li Xiuning had just breathed a sigh of relief, and Cheng Zhijie's good news had already arrived. "The lord of Qiyu, the demon king Chitose successfully plotted against the enemy general Liu Dewei, captured Leping, and burned the enemy's grain and grass. Liu Wu and Zhou Shuai's soldiers were intercepted and killed halfway by the demon king Chitose, killing most of them. has been defeated and returned to Taiyuan. ā
"Good! The fifth brother is mighty! Long live Datang! ā
"The Demon King is mighty!" "Long live Datang!" There was a boiling in the reed gate.
"Report!" Before everyone's cheers fell, someone came to report; "General Qiyu, there is a sentry behind the mountain, about 10,000 people; I don't know who it is? ā
Li Xiuning was stunned for a moment and then said overjoyed: "It must be our reinforcements that have arrived, come with me to greet them." ā
Everyone came to the back of Weize Pass, and sure enough, they saw an army flying and rushed to Weize Pass. Through the torches of the army, you can see that a large flag with the word "firewood" is fluttering in the wind; Immediately, a young general, covered in dust, obviously came all the way to the county horse Chai Shao.
"County Lord, it's Cheshire horses, it's our reinforcements that have arrived."
Li Xiuning's heart was warm, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to open the city gate. Chai Shao had already received the news of the danger of Weize Pass in Chang'an, and he was worried about his wife's comfort, so he went straight to Weize Pass day and night.
The red flames and the earth-shattering sound of the battle made Chai Shao's five organs burn, and he ordered the infantry to follow slowly behind, and he took 3,000 cavalry to fight horses and flew first to Weize Pass.
When he arrived at the bottom of the city, he found that the banner of the Tang Dynasty was still on the city, so he relaxed a little. When Li Xiuning came down, Chai Shao couldn't hold back his feelings anymore, turned over and dismounted, rushed forward and hugged his beloved wife.
A good-natured laugh erupted all around; Li Xiuning broke free from his embrace and asked, "Why are you here?" How about Chang'an? ā
Chai Shao said with a smile: "The danger has passed, Xue Ju on the Western Front suddenly died of illness; The war has stabilized; Now Shimin has led the team to Shanxi; is currently confronting Song Jingang in Baibi; Everyone is worried about you right now. Tell me about you. ā
"Let's go back! Fortunately, the fifth brother helped, otherwise we would never see each other again. ā
The husband and wife returned to Weize Pass, and Lan Tianbi and Jincheng Niu Gai also came to meet. Chai Shao asked to understand the situation, and thanked several people repeatedly. Then let the soldiers go down to rest, and he took over the defense of Reed Ze Pass.
The next day, the husband and wife discussed, leaving the injured Jincheng Niu Gai with the original team to garrison Weize Pass, and they plus Lan Tianbi led the newly arrived 10,000 horses to Leping County to meet Cheng Zhijie and continue to pursue Liu Wuzhou.
After the discussion was over, they left sufficient materials for the Jincheng Niugai to defend the city, and then took the army that came after them and went straight to Leping.
At this time, the fire in Leping has been extinguished, and Cheng Zhijie is asking people to organize firefighting; Suddenly, I heard that Chai Shao and his wife had arrived, and hurriedly took someone out to greet them.
As soon as Chai Shao saw Cheng Zhijie, he turned over and dismounted and bowed his head; Lao Cheng hurriedly helped him up and said, "Lao Jiu, what is this for?" Our own brothers, I have a meeting at the right time, why should I be so polite? ā
Chai Shao said: "For the fifth brother, it is a gesture, but for our husband and wife, it is the grace of regeneration." The little brother is toothless and unforgettable. ā
Lao Cheng hurriedly humbled a few words, and then let them all go to the military tent. "Lao Jiu, you are from Chang'an, do you know how the situation is on other battlefields? Let's decide what to do next? ā
Chai Shao hurriedly told the story of the war on the Western Front and Shanxi. Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "There are people from the world who go out of Shanxi, but they can be safe." Although we only have more than 10,000 people; But Liu Wuzhou is not necessarily too much. He had a total of 150,000 people, Song Jingang had 50,000 in his hands, he brought 50,000 to fight Weize Pass, and 50,000 were scattered everywhere.
He suffered a lot of losses in the first attack on Weize Pass, and later transferred another 20,000 from all over the place; However, they were basically lost in the Reed Pass; In addition, Liu Dewei pulled out 5,000 people, and we intercepted and killed countless people for a while, and less than 10,000 people went back.
This time, there were only about 40,000 people left in Shanxi. With such a small army distributed in such a large place as Shanxi, we have a local advantage.
My point of view is simple, refuse to storm the fortifications, and do not move the army in the city; The first goal is to destroy the enemy's living force or burn the enemy's grain and grass; Cooperate with the people of the world in the fortified wall of Baibi to clear the wilderness, consume Liu Wuzhou's strength, and when the enemy is in chaos, we can break it in one fell swoop. ā
Chai Shao and his wife listened and lay on the map to study for a moment and said, "Okay, just do what the fifth brother said." Shall we hit that first? Give the order, please! ā
