Chapter 37: A big victory
At the same time, Huang Jingfu led the army to a forest pass, the night wind suddenly accelerated, blowing the trees in the forest rattling, Huang Jingfu fixed his eyes, only to see that the forest was pitch black, the trees were swaying, there seemed to be countless figures moving, Huang Jingfu was uneasy, and immediately ordered the army to stop.

At this time, Pan Yuanming led the rear cavalry to arrive, and saw that Huang Jingfu suddenly stopped, and hurriedly rode his horse to ask, Huang Jingfu was full of solemnity, and said in a deep voice: "The forest road here is narrow and the trees are thick, if the enemy uses fire to attack, our army will be destroyed!" ”
Pan Yuanming and Li Bosheng have lived and died together several times, like brothers, after knowing that Li Bosheng was in danger, all their thoughts were on rescuing Li Bosheng in time, regardless of Huang Jingfu's scruples.
"Wen Bai joined the army, General Bingzheng and General Jingzhi are both the henchmen of King Cheng, if there is a case, we will be unable to escape the blame, now the two generals Bingzheng and Jingzhi are in danger, it is really inappropriate for you to look forward and backward like this!"
Pan Yuanming was worried about Li Bosheng's safety, so he was so anxious that he shouted loudly, and the officers behind him also echoed in unison, although Huang Jingfu understood what Pan Yuanming said, but as a member of the army, he had to start from the overall situation when considering the problem, and it was difficult to make a choice for a while.
Pan Yuanming saw that Huang Jingfu was still hesitating, so he went to find Zhang Shicheng, Zhang Shicheng heard that the two generals were in danger, and he was very anxious, and immediately ignored Huang Jingfu's strong opposition, and hurriedly led most of the men and horses into the forest to support first, and Huang Jingfu led a group of men and horses to guard outside the forest just in case.
However, he said that Li Bosheng and Ye Wenju were fleeing, and suddenly heard the loud voices of people and horses in front of them, and when they saw Zhang Shicheng, they hurriedly shouted: "King Cheng, I'm waiting here!! ”
As soon as Zhang Shicheng heard the call, he immediately recognized that it was Li Bosheng's voice, and he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly led his troops to rush forward, and when Zhang Shicheng rushed to Li Bosheng and Ye Wenju, he saw that the two of them were covered in bruises, and Ye Wenju had a huge blood mouth on his left arm, and the blood flowed like a spring.
Zhang Shicheng was furious, his eyes were red, and he shouted angrily: "The sinister thief, you dare to hurt my love will come to this point, and you will definitely set foot in Xuyi City in the coming day and kill all of you rats!" ”
Li Bosheng and Ye Wenju saw that Zhang Shicheng valued themselves so much, and they were immediately moved to tears, and they were moved to tears in their hearts, and they were ready to go to the soup for Zhang Shicheng!
It's just that as soon as Zhang Shicheng's words fell, he heard earth-shattering shouts of killing sound from all sides of the woods, and then a fire burned rapidly, and the monstrous fire spread at a very fast speed, and it didn't take long for Lin Hai to turn into a sea of fire.
Zhang Shicheng and the others were shocked, the soldiers trampled on each other, and were screamed by the fire on all sides, and there were countless dead, Zhang Shicheng was so angry that the corners of his eyes cracked, protecting Li Bosheng and Ye Wenju, and fled all the way in flames.
On the other side, Huang Jingfu was frightened when he saw a sudden fire in the forest, and when he didn't know how to deal with it, the broken army that had been ambushed earlier at a junction in the rear came out, and the leader was Zhang Qi.
"Zhang Zhiyuan has been waiting here for a long time!!"
Zhang Qiwei shouted loudly, leading the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to kill Huang Jingfu directly.
When Huang Jingfu saw Zhang Qi looking at him angrily, his teeth trembled in fright, and he trembled and ordered his subordinates to resist, while he himself rode away without hesitation.
After a while, Zhang Shicheng escorted the seriously injured Li Bosheng and Ye Wenju from the sea of fire, and Huang Jingfu saw it and hurriedly arranged for a group of people to go to respond.
From a distance, Zhang Shicheng saw that Zhang Qi was killing in the tide of his own army, and no one could stop him, so he was immediately furious, and he was about to rush up and kill Zhang Qi as soon as he slapped the horse's belly.
At this moment, a loud shout burst out, "Zhang Shicheng, your opponent is me!! ”
I saw Hu Dahai holding a crescent halberd, sitting on a horse on his hips, galloping to kill, the so-called enemies met, their eyes were red, Zhang Shicheng roared angrily and was about to rush up to chop Hu Dahai into pieces, at this time, Huang Jingfu was holding Zhang Shicheng's horse reins, and neighed to persuade him to focus on the overall situation.
Zhang Shicheng saw that his army was surrounded by heavy sieges and was in danger of being annihilated, and at the critical moment, he resisted the urge to fight Hu Dahai, held his breath, and quickly looked for the weak point of the encirclement.
It didn't take long for Zhang Shicheng to find a flaw in the encirclement, and he took the lead in rushing to break through, and a group of remnants of the Zhou army were in order to survive, all of them were not afraid of death and followed the killing, and finally, the remnants of the Zhou army fought a bloody way and escaped.
At dawn on the second day, the fire in the forest gradually extinguished, only to see the corpses in the forest all over the field, the blood flowed like a river, almost all of them were soldiers and horses of the Zhou army, only this battle, Zhang Shicheng's 8,000 vanguard troops were almost extinct, Zhang Shicheng and Huang Jingfu packed up the remnants of the army, and escaped from the Xuyi territory in embarrassment.
Hu Dahai, Dong Qing, Zhang Qi collected the army and rushed back to Xuyi City, last night's battle can be described as a complete victory, the casualties of the broken army are only two thousand, although Dong Qing was injured, but compared to the Zhou army almost wiped out, this record is really outstanding, and Dong Qing was injured, there seems to be his own providence in the dark, who would have expected that Ye Wenju, who was hit by an arrow, would suddenly be mighty, pull out the arrow and injure Dong Qing.
Calculating the success of Zhang Shicheng's vanguard army, Hu Dahai couldn't help but sigh: "Yunqi military division is really a god!" ”
Deng Yue bowed his head slightly with certainty, but there was a little worry on his face: "Although this time is a big victory, Zhang Shicheng will definitely be annoyed and angry, and lead the army to storm Xuyi City, Xuyi City has gone through several major battles, and the city defense is badly damaged, I'm afraid it won't last long!" ”
Li Ke heard this, did not answer immediately, but put his hands on his back, pacing back and forth in the lobby, thinking hard about how to deal with it, after a long time, Li Ke suggested that Deng Yue divide a group of soldiers and horses outside the city to go down to the village, thinking that the momentum of the corner, Deng Yue thought about it carefully, and felt that there was no better way to deal with it at the moment, so he acted according to Li Ke's policy, and ordered Hu Dahai to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to go down to the village ten miles outside Xuyi City.
But it was said that Zhang Shicheng and other remnants fled in a panic, and did not stop until they converged with the rear army, Zhang Shicheng saw that the remnants who came back were all lost and demoralized, and he was immediately angry, and he wanted to attack Xuyi City with a new force!
At this time, Ye Dexin, another member of the army under Zhang Shicheng, gave up his hands and persuaded loudly: "King Cheng, our army lost the first battle, the edge has been setback, it is not appropriate to attack the city, now Deng Yue divides his troops to set up a village outside Xuyi City, King Cheng why not allocate a group of elite soldiers to take the enemy's camp outside the city, Hu Dahai is a general under Deng Yu, if Hu Dahai is in danger, Deng Yu will definitely send troops to rescue, and when the time comes, King Cheng can take advantage of the situation to capture Xuyi City!" ”
When Zhang Shicheng heard this, his fiery eyes cooled instantly, and he nodded and praised: "Wei Zhang's plan is wonderful, so that it can not only break the enemy's horns, but also adjust the tiger to leave the mountain, and then see that Deng Yue thief take care of one thing and lose the other!" ”
Zhang Shicheng immediately followed Ye Dexin's plan, ordered Pan Yuanming as the commander-in-chief, and Zhao Shixiong as the deputy general, and led 6,000 elite soldiers to attack Hu Dahai's camp.
Before leaving, Ye Dexin specially instructed Pan Yuanming that Hu Dahai was not an ordinary person, and he must be cautious and not fall for the enemy's tricks.
Pan Yuanming was eager for meritorious service, and he only remembered it in his mouth, but he did not take it to heart, and then led 6,000 elite soldiers to kill the camp set up by Hu Dahai.
