442 Wagang wins
In just a few breaths, Chang He and twenty people each threw out three hands/thunders, all of which exploded in a two-zhang radius around Zhang Xutuo.
For a while, the earth shook, and almost all the people on the battlefield were stunned on the spot.
The gates of Jindi Pass could not withstand the impact of twenty hands/thunder, let alone sixty of them thrown out now? What's more, Zhang Xutuo is just flesh and blood?
When the explosion sounded, Chang He knew that he had completed his mission.
Li Mi saw Zhang Xutuo's fall with his own eyes from the telescope, and immediately shouted, "Zhang Xutuo is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!" Li Mi's voice failed to reach Zhai Rang's army, and when they realized that Zhang Xutuo had been blown up, they rushed over frantically.
Of the five hundred soldiers led by Zhang Xutuo, dozens of them were killed on the spot by Chang He's secret weapon along with Zhang Xutuo, and the rest were quickly overwhelmed by Zhai Rang's army.
When Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin heard the explosion in the distance, they also realized Zhang Xutuo's danger, and immediately shouted, "General"
The more than 1,000 soldiers led by Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin were more stunned by the explosion just now, and they didn't understand what was going on in front of them for a long time; It wasn't until they saw Zhang Xutuo's banner fall and his soldiers were all submerged that they came to their senses
But a small number of soldiers commanded by Pei Renji and Xu Shiji had personally experienced the power of hands/thunder, and they only stayed for a moment before they were full of morale, raising their weapons and killing the soldiers handsome by Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin.
"Zhang Xutuo is dead, if you want to live, throw down your weapons and surrender!" After all, Pei Renji was the official army who spoke out, and after seeing Zhang Xutuo's soldiers being submerged with his own eyes, he had already seen the dawn of victory and thought of surrendering.
Although Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin had long been tired of fighting, they saw Zhang Xutuo fall into a siege in order to join him, how could they dare to think about surrender at this time?
Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin listened to Pei Renji's shout, and immediately turned red and tried their best to kill forward.
The Wagang army that besieged them was naturally unable to block its edge against the two fierce generals Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin, but the soldiers behind them were also rapidly decreasing.
Shan Xiongxin and Pei Yuanqing watched Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin almost kill a bloody road, and immediately killed them.
Shan Xiongxin played against Qin Shubao, and the two fought inseparably; Pei Yuanqing faced Cheng Biting Jin, and it only took three rounds for the former to knock out the latter's weapon
Cheng Biting Jin's three-plate axe, in front of Pei Yuanqing's infinite strength, was completely defeated!
Cheng Yanjin and Pei Yuanqing are also old friends, and it is not an accident that they were defeated by him at this time, but as a general of the defeated army, he did not have a sense of shame, but scolded loudly, "Traitor! Eat something inside and out! Your Majesty the Emperor still appreciates you! ”
Pei Yuanqing looked at Cheng Biting Jin, who had already been tied into a zongzi, and said sincerely, "Biting Jin, you and I have known each other, don't you still know my character?" The reason why our father and son surrendered to Wagang is also because the court can't tolerate us. Besides, General Zhang is your teacher, isn't Su Yushi your teacher? You are only loyal to General Zhang, but you have come to fight Hengbo's territory, is this appropriate? ”
Listening to Pei Yuanqing's nonsense, Cheng Biting Jin didn't want to pay attention to him, but after hearing Su You's name, he finally couldn't help but ask, "What?" ”
Pei Yuanqing looked at Cheng Yanjin and was shocked, and immediately said earnestly, "You don't know that Zhai Rang is Su Yushi's person, right?" Li Mi is the same, he fled to Nanzhong after following Yang Xuangan and failed, it was Su Yushi who took him in and asked him to lead the Wagang army, including the hand/thunder that killed General Zhang just now, which was also invented and made by Su Yushi. ”
Speaking of Zhang Xutuo's death, Cheng Biting Jin was in tears, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew where to go
Cheng Yanjin wiped his tears and immediately said to Pei Yuanqing, "If you make a position to kill me, Shubao will surrender."
Pei Yuanqing was not surprised by Cheng Yanjin's change, and immediately ordered someone to use a knife against Cheng Yanjin's neck, and shouted loudly to Qin Shubao and Shan Xiongxin, who were fighting happily, "Qin Shubao, if you don't surrender again, I will kill Cheng Yanjin!" ”
Qin Shubao and Cheng Biting Jin Luo Shixin were already brothers and sisters, and at this time, Cheng Biting Jin was in trouble, so he naturally would not turn a blind eye.
Shan Xiongxin also hit the railway while it was hot, "Shubao, let's fight the world side by side, isn't it better than being like fire and water?" ”
Under the pressure of the two phases, Qin Shubao almost collapsed, and when he found that there were more than a thousand soldiers just now, and now there were not even five hundred, when he threw away the weapon in his hand, he cried, "That's it, I, Qin Qiong, am willing to surrender!" ”
The battle of the ambush and anti-ambush of the Great Sea Temple was settled with the surrender of Qin Shubao.
On the main battlefield, Zhai Rang's Wagang army was greatly demoralized because they killed Zhang Xutuo, and finally began to chase Zhang Xutuo's army, which had been running for more than ten miles just now.
Since the early afternoon, after more than two hours of fighting, night has slowly fallen.
Luo Shixin arrived belatedly with the 2,000 guards he had brought from the Tiger Prison, and Yang Qing of Xingyang County still blindly believed that Zhang Xutuo would definitely defeat the Wagang army, so he did not take the opportunity to go out of the city to fight Wagang by surprise.
When Luo Shixin arrived on the battlefield, he saw the Wagang army chasing the rout of the imperial court in all directions, and he finally realized that he had arrived too late.
Luo Shixin grabbed a soldier who had escaped and immediately asked, "How can you be like this, General Zhang?" ”
The soldier immediately responded in tears, "In order to save General Qin and General Cheng, General Zhang led five hundred brothers to rush and kill the enemy's Chinese army, and finally fell into a heavy siege, as a result. ”
When Luo Shixin heard the news, he almost fell off his horse, but he also knew that now was not the time to grieve the death of Zhang Xutuo, Qin Shubao and the others, nor was it the time to collect the bodies for them
Luo Shixin knew that Zhang Xutuo's greatest wish was to bring back these soldiers brought from Qi County in their entirety.
Then, all he can do now is to pack up the remnants and return to the Tiger Prison first, and then wait for the opportunity to bring them back.
"Beat the drums, raise the flag!"
Luo Shixin shouted, the earth-shattering drums sounded, and at the same time, he also jumped out of his horse and single-handedly entered the Wagang army that was chasing and killing the Sui army.
Luo Shixin's spear, like a dragon entering the water, instantly killed several Wagang Army's hundred-man squads; And under his banner, there are more and more defeated soldiers gathered
At the same time, Yangzhou Jiangdu Palace.
"Yang Yichen wants to do the opposite?!" Yang Guang slapped the table angrily, and threw the fold in his hand on the carpet in a loud shout.
Several important ministers who were drinking and feasting with Yang Guang didn't know why Yang Guang was so angry for a while, and they couldn't help but be silent and looked at each other.
After Yang Guang arrived in Yangzhou, he did not abandon the government, but was more diligent than when he was in the Eastern Capital last year, and he also paid attention to the world's major events from time to time.
The world, after all, is the world of the Yang family, how can he really turn a blind eye?
From the eastern capital to the Jiangdu, his persistence is well known, and it is precisely because of this that when he finally wanted to say that he went down to the Jiangdu, he never heard any objections; At that time, Yang Guang did not have a corner of the mentality in his heart.
Of course, Yang Guang also hopes that everything is just his own heart, and taking Jiangdu as the capital is just a second-best idea; What I didn't expect was that in just half a year's effort, the world was already out of control.
Li Mi conquered Jindi Pass, Yuan Treasure captured Liyang Cang, and the Wagang army swept through Xingyang County
When Yang Guang heard about these military information, he pinned his hopes on Zhang Xutuo to destroy the thief, hoping that he could defeat the Wagang thief in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, when Yang Guang was waiting for Zhang Xutuo's good news, Yang Yichen, who first brought the good news, submitted a letter of advice at the same time.
Yang Yichen's surname is Wei Chi, a Xianbei person, and his father Wei Chi Chong was originally a general of Yitong in the previous dynasty, guarding Hengshan with soldiers. At that time, the first emperor was the governor of Dingzhou, and Wei Chichong, as Yang Jian's subordinate, had a very good relationship.
And the first emperor took the national zhang as the prime minister, eliminated dissidents, and the governor of Xiangzhou, Wei Chi Zhen, refused to accept the army, and Wei Chi Chongyi and Wei Chi Zhen were the same sect, imprisoned in prison, and sent an envoy to ask for guilt. The first emperor personally wrote letters to comfort him, and recruited him into the court and placed him by his side.
After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, Yang Yichen made great contributions during the rebellion of King Pinghan and was given the surname of the country; Later, he followed Yang Guang to conquer Tuyuhun and Goryeo, and made great contributions.
The Hebei rebels were huge, Yang Guang sent troops to conquer, but they all returned, and seeing that no one was available, he had to send the veteran Yang Yichen again.
Yang Yichen then destroyed Zhang Jincheng's belt, and together with Yang Shanhui, he attacked Gao Shida back and forth, and occupied the rebels' base of Gaojibo in one fell swoop; After that, Yang Yichen traveled around Hebei, and then wrote the battle situation and the situation of the thieves in Hebei to the imperial court.
Yang Yichen was in the heart of the eight hundred miles of urgency, and earnestly asked Yang Guang to return to the eastern capital and appease the world.
The reason why Yang Guang lost his temper was because of Yang Yichen's inexplicable request.
Dingdu Jiangdu is just a plan to retreat to the next thing, doesn't Yang Guang want to return to the Eastern Capital in a dignified manner? The problem is that now that bandits are rampant, he has this heart, and he doesn't have the courage to do so.
But cowardice is transformed into anger.
Yang Guang was furious, and when he saw that no one of the ministers answered, he was even more angry, "I raised you, did I let you come to see my jokes?" You guys don't have anything to say? ”
Yu Shiji immediately stepped forward tremblingly, lowered his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, in fact, this thief is not so rampant. ”
"What does Yu Aiqing mean?" Yang Guang nodded, with Yu Shiji's stubble, he finally didn't sing a one-man show.
"Although there are many thieves, there is really nothing to worry about, Zhang Xutuo has experienced a hundred battles, why is it difficult to pacify Wagang? As long as the Wagang thieves are pacified, the way back to the eastern capital is "Yu Shiji, the king of Gu left and right, and avoided Yang Yichen's advice.
"Huh?" Yang Guang was obviously not satisfied with Yu Shiji's answer.
Yu Shiji hesitated, and had to say, "Back to Your Majesty, Yang Yichen defeated a thief, but he has a lot of troops. He has a self-respecting army, and most of them think that His Majesty can only rely on him to pacify the bandits, and it is inevitable that he will be arrogant."
Yang Guangda said angrily, "Doesn't he want to rebel?"
"Probably not. But this time, I borrowed the bandits to ask His Majesty to return to the Eastern Capital, and I don't know what will happen next time. Yu Shiji looked around Pei Yun and the others and looked at him, although he wouldn't open his eyes and say nonsense, but when he said this, it was also a heart-wrenching word.
"Send someone to summon Yang Yichen to come to Yangzhou and hand over his military power to Yang Shanhui first!" Yang Guang immediately ordered.
"Wechen will do it right away." Yu Shiji only wants to protect himself, where can he manage a lot.
