(2nd Update)

The mountains fell, and the state shook. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In Quanjiao County, Wang Hui's face was pale, and all the generals present were also shocked.

Chai Kehong came out and hugged his fists: "General, the northern thief Kedongguan and Zhanhanshan, even if there are no 10,000 soldiers and horses, it will not be less than 5,000, at this time, what should we do?" ”

The king hesitated.

Liu Renzhen said loudly: "The northern thieves are attacking Hezhou, with the intention of cutting off my back road, the seven states in the east of Jianghuai, now only Hezhou is in hand, if Hezhou is not guaranteed, then our army's retreat will be lost!" ”

The king would be silent in thought.

Li Jianxun hugged his fists and said: "Please give the general an order, let the last general lead the troops back to rescue Hezhou, only 5,000 soldiers, and the last general will definitely repel the invading enemy, in order to ensure that Hezhou is thorough and does not miss the great cause of going north!" ”

The king was still undecided.

The generals stepped forward one after another, and for a while, the room was full of the call of the "general", and it was a mess. There are also some generals who are panicked and have shown a panicked look, and the army's morale is unstable.

When the king saw this, he was even more hesitant.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a loud laugh in the room, which was particularly harsh. Everyone followed the prestige, but saw that the one who couldn't stop laughing was Wang Yanyan.

Wang Hui sank his face, "The current military situation is urgent, how the army acts, all the generals have their opinions, the assassin does not say a word, and he laughs alone, what is the intention?" ”

Wang Yanyan sat firmly as usual, flicked his sleeves, and snorted coldly: "Just a few changes, just let the generals in the hall change color, and I don't know whether to advance or retreat for a while, isn't it ridiculous?" ”

Wang Hui was angry, "Is there a plan for the assassin to speak like this?" ”

Wang Yanyu got up and came to the map, looking proud, "Our army's victory is in sight, and the destruction of the northern thieves is imminent, don't you know?" ”

The generals rushed to the map one after another, to see what good strategy Wang Yanyan had, and he dared to speak out. The king frowned slightly, and all the generals gathered in front of Yutu, but he sat upright. He is the coach, Wang Yanyan is the deputy, and now the other party has a plan, but he is so sharp, which makes him very unhappy.

Wang Yanyu saw that the king would not move, and did not care about him, and said to the generals: "And ask the princes, how much is my garrison in Hezhou?" ”

"Two thousand guards from the state!" Someone replied, "The other party claims to be 10,000 people, how can 2,000 defenders defend the city?" ”

"That's a big fallacy!" Wang Yanyan rebuked, "Hezhou, the place where the city will be painstakingly managed, the city is high and the ditch is deep, and the equipment is complete, the Tang army also came to attack before, but has it fallen?" Hugh said that there are 2,000 elite guards, but there are only 1,000 brave soldiers, and it will be difficult for the northern thieves to attack! ”

Wang Yanyan continued: "Moreover, don't you know that on the river, there are 30,000 of my elite soldiers, who are preparing for the battle, and are gathering momentum, if there is really a war in Hezhou, it will come to the rescue, and then don't say that Hezhou is safe, and all the northern thieves who come to attack will be destroyed!" ”

80,000 Huainan soldiers, Wang Hui led 50,000, and 30,000 gathered on the riverside, ready to find an opportunity to be sent to the Jiangbei important place.

Wang Yanyan continued: "The princes are worried about Hezhou, but they are worried that 30,000 brave people will not come, but if the northern thieves really attack Hezhou City, they will send the main force, if so, our army will defeat it in Hezhou, it will be a big victory, Jianghuai North Thief army is not much, with such a big defeat, how can it not die?" If the thieves who invaded the state were not the main force, then why should they be afraid? ”

When the generals heard this, they all woke up and praised Wang Yan's cleverness.

"Then where did the soldiers and horses of the northern thieves attack Hezhou come from?" Li Jianxun asked.

"That's a clever question!" Wang Yanyu praised, he pointed at Shouchun, "The northern thieves are heavily armed, gathered in Yangzhou and Shouchun, if the enemy of Yangzhou comes to attack, they will not detour to Dongguan, and will not be discovered by you and me!" ”

"In this way, the enemy who will come will be the Shouchun Division!" Chai Kehong said.

"Yes!" Wang Yanyan praised again, "Shouchun has 30,000 northern thieves, and he has been attacking Shouchun for a long time, and this time he divided his troops to invade Hezhou, then the enemy of Shouchun has been weakened. The siege of Shouchun is over, can the northern thieves not die, and our army can not win? ”

When the generals heard this, their spirits were lifted.

Wang Yanyan looked around at the generals, "Moreover, the northern thieves came to attack Jianghuai, it has been a long time, and the loss of armor and arrows is very serious, this time the combat power has been greatly reduced, and the Chuzhou guards are only a few thousand people at most. ”

"I'm waiting to fight!" The generals clenched their fists.

Wang Yanyan came to the hall and bowed to Wang Hui, "Please give the general an order to attack Chuzhou!" ”

The generals followed, "Please give the general an order to attack Chuzhou!" ”

When Wang met Wang Yanyan, he still knew the size and the size of the war, and his heart was a little calm, and he saw that the fighter plane was close in front of him, so he could not help but grasp it, so he divided his troops and sent troops to the north to attack Chuzhou City.

......

Chuzhou City.

In the dark night, an army of more than 20,000 people, with people and horses, was entering the city from Qingliuguan.

Zhu Changzhi, the assassin of Chuzhou, led his subordinate officials out of the city to meet the army.

Fang Zhiwen, the commander of the army, met Zhu Changzhi in front of the city gate.

"Huainan is coming, and the army led by the general has arrived today, and Chuzhou is safe!" Zhu Changzhi stepped forward to salute.

Fang Zhiwen had a domineering temperament, and hugged his fists on the horse and said: "The military situation is urgent, and it is inconvenient for me to dismount, and I also ask the assassin to arrange a place for the soldiers to be stationed, and the army has a lot of military resources, please also ask the assassin to accept it, and send someone to Yangzhou." ”

This person has been an envoy of moderation for a long time, and now he leads the new army to fight, but he has not been awarded a high position, and he is quite dissatisfied in his heart, and he is becoming more and more arrogant.

Although Zhu Changzhi was unhappy in his heart, it was inconvenient to show anything at this time, everything was just done in accordance with the charter.

Zhu Changzhi's talent is indeed extraordinary, and by dawn the next day, the 25,000 army has been properly placed in the city, but fortunately, although Fang Zhiwen is domineering, the forbidden army is not arrogant, which makes the Chuzhou officials feel much better when doing things.

After the army was settled, Zhu Changzhi came to see Fang Zhiwen again and discussed with him about defending the city.

Zhiwen didn't even go out of the door, but just sent someone to spread the word: "The army is defending the city, and the general will have his own opinions, and the assassin will mobilize the young and strong to listen to it, don't make a mistake." ”

Zhu Changzhi's henchman said angrily: "This person is so arrogant, it's too annoying!" ”

Zhu Changzhi turned around and went back with his henchmen, "Be arrogant, but still be able to lead the army to fight, there must be extraordinary talents, you and I put the overall situation first, just endure more!" ”

Immediately, Zhu Changzhi sent someone to contact Mo Li, asking the other party to send troops to escort military funds to Yangzhou.

......

After the generals dispersed, Wang Yanyan did not leave.

Wang Hui looked at Wang Yanyan coldly, "The strategy of assassinating history is very clever, and it will be impressive!" ”

Wang Yanyu stayed in the room, but there was something important, and he didn't worry about Wang Hui at this time, "The northern thieves and the state, if I don't send troops back to help, I won't retreat easily, and I ask the general to decide!" ”

Wang Hui looked at Wang Yanyan and said, "Didn't the assassin say that he wouldn't save Hezhou?" ”

Wang Yanyan said: "If you don't save Hezhou, you don't save Hezhou City, but you can't let the northern thieves do anything wrong in Hezhou!" ”

Wang Hui said: "In this case, the assassin is afraid that the northern thieves will cause trouble in the place and ruin the assassin's political achievements in Hezhou?" ”

Wang Yanyan held back his anger and said, "What does the general want to say?" ”

Wang Hui also had no intention of continuing to persecute, so he said: "Then according to the opinion of the assassin history, what should we do?" ”

Wang Yanyan did not give in: "Defending is the next policy, attacking is the middle policy, if it can be designed, it is the best policy!" ”

Wang Hui sighed.

Wang Yanyu continued: "If I don't save Hezhou, the northern thieves can't attack Hezhou City, if so, if the northern thieves have other strategies, they will only have to attack the rear of our army and rob my granary and grain road, if our army can set up an ambush in the granary, the northern thieves will be defeated!" ”

Wang Hui's eyes turned cold again, he asked Wang Yanyan what his good plan was, but he didn't expect Wang Yanyan to really come up with a strategy and leave him no room to play, which made him feel deeply dissatisfied again, after all, he was the boss, and Wang Yanyan was just a subordinate. The limelight has been given to his subordinates, what else do you want him to do as a coach?

However, Wang Hui has not yet reached the point of tearing his face with Wang Yanyan, and he will not ignore the overall situation, so he ordered Chai Kehong to lead the army to return to the reinforcements and set up an ambush in the granary.

......

Soon, Wang Hui led the army to the front of Chuzhou City, the army camped, and Wang Hui led the generals to the front of the city to watch the city defense.

As soon as he approached the city wall, after several observations, Wang Hui's face turned gloomy, "Looking at its city defense, the equipment is very complete, and looking at its soldiers, all of them are full of energy, and there is no fear of our army at all." ”

"If you have nothing to say, why be afraid!" Wang Yanyan still looks like a bamboo in his chest, "A small city, with thousands of soldiers and horses, how can you stop my soldiers?" ”

Wang Huiyan's eyes were even more gloomy when he heard this.

"What the history of the assassin said is that there are thousands of northern thieves, and they can be broken overnight!" Li Jianxun was anxious to avenge Li Decheng's revenge, so he naturally wanted to start a war immediately, "General, please be the pioneer of the siege!" ”

At this moment, Wang Hui's face turned cold, and he said hard behind him: "Where is Liu Renzhen?" ”

"The last general!" Liu Renzhen immediately took two steps forward.

"Tomorrow's siege, you are the vanguard!" Wang Hui said.

"The last will be ordered!" Liu Renzhen glanced at Li Jianxun, his eyes were a little weird, but he still hugged his fists and promised.

Li Jianxun's face changed greatly, he had a father's enmity in front of him, and he didn't expect that Wang Hui would refuse his request.

Wang Yanyan was also quite surprised, but when he saw that Wang Hui's face was not good-looking, it was not easy to touch his moldy head.

Following.

Wang Hui gathered a large army and launched a war against the city of Chuzhou. Before the war, he came to the front of the battle in person, strictly ordering military orders, rewards and punishments!

At the end of the day, the army is attacking the city!

......

Hanshan County.

Jiang Wenwei, Zhang Yi, Zhu Yuan and other generals went outside the city gate to welcome the main force of the infantry army led by Western Ye into the city.

"Soldiers, don't enter the city to disturb the people, camp outside the city!" Western Ye issued a military order.

Hearing this order, Jiang Wenwei and the three of them glanced at each other, and they all said: "The general is benevolent and righteous, and the people are lucky!" ”

Western Ye waved his hand, although he is a rough man, but he is good at reading "Spring and Autumn" and knows the righteousness, so when Li Siyuan sent his troops to Bianliang, he intended to prevent Li Siyuan from entering the city, and because he knew the righteousness, so he is now valued by Li Siyuan.

"You are both civil and military, which is really a blessing for the country." Xiye dismounted and entered the city with a few people, "After the end of the war, the people in the city did not flee together, and you must have contributed to the people." ”

Although Jiang Wenwei and the others were happy in their hearts, they were very humble.

When they arrived at the county temple, everyone discussed with the army.

"Scout detective, Huainan soldiers have entered Chuzhou, and there is no plan to return to the state, how to march next, what are your opinions?" When he said this, Xi Ye's tone was stiff, it was not that he was unhappy, but because he was a little unaccustomed to it, he led the troops to fight earlier, and he did everything he said, but now that he has reached the forbidden army, the pre-war military discussion is a system, and he must also abide by it.

"The king will not come back to help, but he has something to rely on, if it is not for the abundant soldiers and horses in Hezhou and the strong city wall, he has another ambush and reinforcements!" Jiang Wenwei took the lead and said, "In a certain opinion, its granary should be burned and its grain channel should be cut off, if so, its army will be defeated!" According to the military intelligence department, the granary of the Huainan Army is very likely to be in Wujiang! ”

The West is the first to praise it.

Zhang Yi shook his head: "Since Brother Jiang said that the king will not return to help, because he has something to rely on, he will not return to the state city, will he not care about the granary and grain road?" In my opinion, there must also be articles in the granary and grain road! ”

Western Ye's eyes lit up and he recognized Zhang Yi's analysis, "If this is the case, how is it good?" ”

Zhu Yuan said: "At this time, although our army has conquered Dongguan and Hanshan, and shaken Hezhou, it is also a lone army to go deep, if we can't quickly expand the results of the battle, if we stay here for a long time - Wanghui in the north, the big river in the south, and the boundary of Hezhou is narrow and long, and the width is not more than 100 miles, once the enemy army comes to his senses and makes a countermeasure, we are very dangerous!" ”

Western Ye couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuan with admiration, "Join the army and please continue." ”

Zhu Yuandao: "Soldiers, attack and defend." If there is a rear, there are reinforcements, and there is a strong city, it can be defended; Without these three, if you can't retreat, you can only attack. Our army is a miracle soldier, and if we want to give full play to our combat power and protect ourselves, it lies in constantly attacking, turning battles for hundreds of miles, and rushing like the wind. Only in this way can we support Chuzhou now, so that the king will lose both sides! ”

Western Ye secretly said in his heart: He is really worthy of being the top three Jinshi, and the person who is valued by the prince can have such an opinion when he leads the army to fight for the first time, which is commendable!

Xiye said: "Where to attack? And he brought him a map, and he showed it with all the people.

Jiang Wenwei said: "Since the king will ignore us and others, why don't I give him a heavy blow, so that he has to divide his troops?" ”

Western Ye was busy with his eyes, and he already understood what Jiang Wenwei meant.

"Command the whole army to attack Quanjiao County!"

Hanshan is in the west, Quanjiao is in the north, Wujiang is in the south, and the three places are roughly triangular. Attacking Quanjiao from Hanshan can completely avoid the possible ambush of the Wujiang granary!

......

Chuzhou, city tower.

"General, the crossbow is ready!"

Under the big flag, Fang Zhiwen bowed slightly, signaling that he knew.

In front of the city, the Wu army's army array approached in a big way, like a lake and a sea, and there were cloud ladders, nest cars, crash cars and other things in the array, all of which were readily available, and the momentum was like a rising tide.

"Shoot the arrow!" Fang Zhiwen suddenly ordered.

"Order!" The armor soldiers who were waiting on the city wall immediately leaned down to prepare when they heard this.

A military envoy stood on a high place, held high the order flag, his voice was loud, and shouted: "One round, bed crossbow and arrows, release!" ”

The drums at the head of the city sounded, crisp as raindrops.

The armor man manipulated more than ten bed crossbows, only to hear the buzzing sound of "boom", from left to right on the city wall, ten huge crossbow arrows flew out, and then inserted into the open space in front of the city, connected into a line, on the crossbow arrows, the red cloth trembled.

The military envoy held high the order flag and shouted again: "Second round, Fuyuan crossbow and arrow, release!" ”

Dozens of crossbow arrows flew out and plunged into the ground a little closer to the city wall, and the same red cloth trembled, practicing in a line.

The military envoy shouted: "Three rounds, horn bows, crossbows, and arrows, release!" ”

"Four wheels, arms open crossbow standard arrows, put!"

"Five rounds, strong bow and arrows, put!"

In front of the city wall, five crossbow arrows are connected, the layers are progressive, and the red cloth flutters in the wind.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Wu army, with the momentum of not being afraid of the sword mountain and the sea of fire, approached the city wall and approached the line of arrows.

On the city wall, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army all stared intently, clenched their blades, and held their breath.

Zhu Changzhi stood beside Fang Zhiwen, his face calm, but he was actually excited.

The reason for the excitement is that all the crossbows carried by the forbidden army have been arranged in the corresponding positions.

Last year, Qian Yuanqian entered Luoyang, Li Congjing once took him to watch the forbidden army more martial, at that time, Qian Yuanjun saw thousands of crossbows, shocked, and decided to unconditionally accept the imperial court's request to send troops to the west, which shows how many crossbows the forbidden army has, how powerful it is. And now, for today's battle, the crossbows are all in the city!

Finally, the Wu army's military formation touched the crossbow arrow line of the bed.

Fang Zhiwen showed a cruel smile on his face, "Bed crossbow, arrow!" ”

The military envoy ordered, waved the command flag, and shouted: "Bed crossbow, arrow!" ”

The drums of war thundered like thunder and rumbled.

On the city wall, from east to west, there were teams shouting, "Bed crossbow, arrow!" ”

The sound of the strings suddenly sounded, endlessly, dozens of bed crossbows were launched together, and dozens of crossbow arrows flew out and rushed into the Wu army's formation!

The bed crossbow bolt is extraordinary, but when you see the crossbow bolt entering the battle, the middle arrow is pierced through the whole body no matter how many layers of armor you are wearing! Crossbow arrows fly, shield opens, armor breaks, and kills! The spacing behind the soldiers of the Wu army was small, and several people were pierced by a crossbow arrow, and the sugar gourd was generally strung on the crossbow arrow, nailed into the ground, and the vitality was cut off, and they couldn't move!

The soldiers of the Tang Army twisted the ropes, and one by one the crossbows were mounted on the bed crossbows, and they shot out in turn.

The arrows of the bed crossbow can not be guarded against or dodged, and once they enter the military formation, there are few shots in the air, so in a moment, the Wu army formation has many casualties and howls.

And that's just a wall.

Fang Zhiwen's eyes were sharp, and when the Wu army's military array touched the second arrow line, he shouted again: "Fu Yuan crossbow, send arrows!" ”

"Fu Yuan crossbow, send a arrow!"

"Fu Yuan crossbow, send a arrow!"

"Fu Yuan crossbow, send a arrow!"

Hundreds of Fuyuan crossbows shot lightning-like arrows and went straight into the Wu army's array.

The crossbow arrows entered the battle, and the Wu army fell, and in an instant, a blank line appeared in the Wu army's formation!

When the Wu army was in formation, when it touched the third line, Fang Zhiwen shouted three times: "Horn bow and crossbow, arrow!" ”

"Horned crossbow, arrow!"

"Horned crossbow, arrow!"

"Horned crossbow, arrow!"

Hundreds of horned bows and crossbow arrows were shot into the Wu army's army together with the bed crossbow and Fuyuan's crossbow arrows.

As a result, the casualties of the Wu army increased significantly.

Fang Zhiwen ordered again: "Arm open crossbow, send arrows!" ”

"Arm open crossbow, arrow!"

"Arm open crossbow, arrow!"

"Arm open crossbow, arrow!"

Since then, the Wu army's military array has been incomplete, and the gaps have been obvious from time to time, and they cannot make up for it.

But the Wu army was not afraid of death, and the army was close to the front of the city.

Fang Zhiwen pulled out the horizontal knife, "Strong bow, release the arrow!" ”

"Strong bow, release the arrow!"

"Strong bow, release the arrow!"

"Strong bow, release the arrow!"

When it is, ten thousand arrows are fired at once, and the arrows are like rain, and they are bound to become black clouds, covering the sky and the sun!

The clouds and rain fell into the Wu army formation, and the Wu army formation suddenly let out an earth-shaking scream, countless Wu army soldiers fell down with arrows, and there were countless arrows in their bodies. The army formation that went down and stopped was in a narrow rectangle, and it seemed to be extremely neat!

A rain of arrows fell, two clouds of arrows rose into the air, two clouds of arrows fell, three clouds of arrows rose, three clouds of arrows fell, and four clouds of arrows rose into the air...... If it is replaced, it will continue!

The soldiers of the Wu army, with countless casualties, wailed endlessly, and the Wu army was in the front, no longer a military formation!

The strong bow did not reach ten shots, and the Wu army was already in chaos, and the other generals withdrew from the queen of Shicang, scrambling to be the first, such as the tide rolling up, the sea water pouring in, its momentum can not be stopped!

In the first battle of Chuzhou, the strong bow and crossbow have retreated from the enemy!

......

After the Wu army's formation, looking upstairs, Wang Hui's face changed greatly, Rao is he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he can't help but be full of panic, his hands tremble, even when he was defeated by Li Yanqing, Ding Mao and other generals in Shucheng, he has never seen him so gaffe.

Wang Hui grabbed Wang Yanyan beside him, and yelled with red eyes: "Didn't you say that they don't have enough troops? Didn't you say that the soldiers were tired? Didn't you say they ran out of arrows? Didn't you say they had nothing to show for themselves? You show me, this scene may be called a vain appearance?! ”

Where did Wang Yanyan know the truth of the matter, he was also shocked, and stammered: "So-and-so...... Certain...... I don't know! ”

"Order, collect the troops, collect the troops!" Wang Hui turned around and shouted, letting the rear ring the golden gong, but Wu Jun had already retreated in a panic, and it was no different whether he knocked the golden gong or not at this time.

Looking back at the front of the city, after seeing the tide of defeated military formation, the soldiers who fell to the ground, the arrows inserted into the ground, the king will be heartbroken, this time he didn't even touch the Chuzhou city wall, and in a moment, not to mention the loss of more than 1,000 soldiers!

And at this moment, the gate of Chuzhou suddenly opened, and the Tang army in black armor and black robe was brave, like a tiger and wolf, and went straight to the defeated Wu army formation!

The king took a few steps back in horror and hurriedly shouted, "Stop them, stop them!" ”

Looking at the courage of the Tang army who came out of the city, Wang Hui's heart was about to jump out, he knew: Once the defeated army was killed and collapsed, forming an inverted bead curtain, he would be planted here today!

Wang Hui was so angry that he turned around and kicked Wang Yanyan in annoyance, and scolded with a slashing face: "There are thousands of soldiers and horses in Chuzhou, can you say this?!" Do you know how many soldiers our army will lose because of your words?! If the army is defeated, can you afford it?! ”

Wang Yan's face was like ashes, he forgot to get up, and after listening to Wang Hui's words, his heart was cold: Wang Hui wanted to put the blame for the defeat on his head!

Without waiting for Wang Yanyan to speak out, suddenly a messenger came from the rear, climbed up the watchtower with his hands and feet, and knelt on the ground when he met: "Report!" General, thieves attack Quanjiao County! ”

"What do you say?!" Wang Hui took two steps back in a daze and sat down.
