Chapter 38: Embattled

The sound of killing shook the sky, and hundreds of thousands of troops fought together. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhou Xingfeng's personal soldiers are worthy of being an elite army, even if they are cut off from food and grass, they have also exerted super combat power, but this war is destined for him to fail.

A cavalry sentry ran from behind the army in a panic, and he shouted as he ran: "Urgent report, urgent report, the Southern Tang Dynasty raised 200,000 troops to attack Tanzhou, and Tanzhou was surrounded." ”

Thunder on the ground, Zhou Xingfeng suddenly shook his body, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, he couldn't stand, Tanzhou, his own nest, his wife and children are all over there, and now the Southern Tang Dynasty is attacking, if he captures Tanzhou, then he is not alone, thinking that when he was still the general of the Chu State, the Southern Tang Dynasty raised troops to destroy Chu, and formed an indissoluble enmity with the Chu people, how can the Southern Tang let go of his own family?

Looking further, 50,000 Shu troops poured over like a tide, more than 60,000 Wuping troops were killed and abandoned their armor, within one day, seven battles in a row, Wuping troops were defeated and retreated, and Zhou Xingfeng 20,000 soldiers finally left less than 5,000 people.

When night fell, Zhou Xingfeng looked at it, but saw the Shu army camp in flames, Gao Yanshou and others led the army to stand outside the camp gate, looking at everything here coldly.

"There's no escape tonight." Zhou Xingfeng thought secretly in his heart, but his face did not show any abnormality, today's defeat, if it wasn't for the scout cavalry to disturb the army's heart, he would not have been defeated so miserably, and then he beheaded this person with demonic words, so as to temporarily stop the decline.

"Order the brothers to have a good rest, tomorrow we withdraw the army, he Meng Xuanjue will not come to sneak attack." Zhou Xingfeng showed a wry smile on his face, after this period of fighting, he knew Meng Xuanjue, Meng Xuanjue wanted to defeat himself in a dignified manner, so he would not engage in sneak attacks.

Although all the troops were skeptical, when they saw that Zhou Xingfeng had given the order, they had to obey it. Leaving a part of the guards at the camp gate to prevent Meng Xuanjue's sneak attack, they also came into the camp to rest according to Zhou Xingfeng's instructions. Surprisingly, at this time, the war drums of the Shu army really didn't sound, which made the soldiers who had been worried for a long time gradually relax their hearts, which was relieved. Suddenly I felt tired like a mountain, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

"Bang!" I don't know when, the sound of war drums sounded again, and then the whole earth trembled, as if the end was coming, and the sound of shouting and killing woke Wu Pingjun from his sleep.

"Meng Xuanjue has been killed?" Zhou Xingfeng got up from the marching couch, his eyes were blank, and he looked at the marching map opposite and said.

In the quiet night, on the silent battlefield, a song of Chu Di, accompanied by the sad and long melody of Xiao Sheng, suddenly sounded like this, and scattered with the wind, it was really resentful, like crying.

The Chu people are the most homesick, and the soldiers of Zhou Xingfeng are almost all Chu people, and there are soldiers singing along with the piles of bonfires, and the Chu songs are getting louder and louder, and they are transmitted far away with the evening breeze.

So much so that the entire camp of the Wuping Army fell into immersion, and the soldiers of the Wuping Army listened to the tunes of their familiar hometowns, singing leisurely, touching the most vulnerable string in their hearts.

Some people wept, some hid their faces and wept, some listened to the song in a daze, and some hummed along.

"Who still sings in the middle of the night and wants to disturb the morale of the army? It is not allowed to sing, and it is not allowed to sing again, and military law is engaged. Zhou Xingfeng didn't know that the singing was coming from outside, so he walked out of the camp and shouted.

"Jieshuai, it's not us singing, it's the Shu army camp singing。。。。。" The soldier said tremblingly, pointing in the direction of the Shu army.

"Jie Shuai, it's not good, it's not good, someone has surrendered to the Shu army." The words of the pro-soldier made Zhou Xingfeng spit out a mouthful of blood again, and then said in a low voice: "I have decided, I am ready to break through tomorrow morning, cook on the fourth watch, eat a full stomach, and before dawn, everyone will lead the men and horses to break through with me, and after the breakthrough, it will be broken into pieces, bypassing the Wushan Pass, and returning to Tanzhou." ”

At this time, Gao Yanshou stood in front of his account, also listened to Chu Ge, and said to Zhao Li with a slight smile: "In the past, Xiang Yu was surrounded, Zhang Liang used this strategy to disintegrate Xiang Yu's army's heart. ”

"The genius of the capital governor of the sky, the soldiers who surrender without a fight, is the blessing of my Shu country."

As he was talking, Han Yao came on horseback: "The Metropolitan Governor has an order, open the camp gate, and welcome the Wuping Army who came to defect, the Metropolitan Governor has decided that the Wuping Army who came to surrender recklessly, and those who are willing to stay are all soldiers of our Shu Kingdom, and all the treatment is the same as that of the Shu Army, those who are unwilling to stay will be returned to their hometowns after the war and given travel expenses." ”

When Zhao Li heard this, he smiled and said: "The Metropolitan Governor's trick is really clever, and it has cleared a lot of obstacles for winning Jingxiang in the future." ”

"yes, hehe, let's go, let's see how many people are coming."

A criticism of the Wuping army ran towards the Shu army camp, they crossed the trench, jumped over the obstacles, desperately ran over, there were too many people running over, in groups, how to look, I thought it was the Wuping army to attack, but after a closer look, the people who ran over were barehanded, and did not take weapons, but most of them carried small bags on their shoulders, which contained their personal belongings.

In the early morning, the winter sun rises.

"Metropolitan Governor, Zhou Xingfeng has come out." Han Yao on the side suddenly pointed to the camp gate opposite and said, his expression was extremely excited, he was guarding Meng Xuanjue's left and right, and he was rarely able to charge forward, but today was a rare opportunity.

"Haha, do you see Zhou Xingfeng on the other side? Whoever can catch him, this palace will not hesitate to reward. Meng Xuanjue looked at the excitement in the eyes of the generals, and couldn't help but smile to himself.

"No one can compete with me for this credit." While everyone was still hesitating, they heard an angry roar coming over, and they saw a figure breaking through the air like lightning, but they saw Han Yao holding a spear in his hand and killing him first.

"Governor, give the order." Gao Yanshou and Zhao Li are not like Han Yao who don't understand the rules, they are still waiting for Meng Xuanjue's order.

"Charge the whole army." Meng Xuanjue did not hesitate to give the order for a general attack, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers roared up like tigers in the mountains, shouting and killing to the sky.

The war between the two sides was already in a white-hot stage, and as soon as Zhou Xingfeng saw that the other party began to attack, he also went into battle in person and began to engage in battle.

"Hold me to death." An angry roar came, and I saw on the battlefield, a fierce general with a spear in his hand was killing in and out of the chaotic army, and there was no enemy between his waves, it was Meng Xuanjue's personal commander Han Yao.

With Han Yao's rebirth, the already fragile defense line of the Wuping Army has become dilapidated.

Meng Xuanjue, who was watching the battle, saw it very clearly, and said with a happy face: "The overall situation has been decided, and Zhou Xingfeng is in a catastrophe." ”
