Chapter 558: Chaos 2
"What? Didn't see the history of the assassination of Shanyang Mansion? Seeing Feng Ziming return to the handsome tent with an angry face, Zhao Xun joked with a smile. The last time I met Ye Xuan, when I was about to take over the army of Shanyang Mansion, I was pulled up by Ye Xuan to fight back, including the history of Shanyang Mansion, of course, Zhao Xun said this, it was just ridicule. After all, how can I say that Feng Ziming is also the governor of the government and the army, compared to the history of the Shanyang Mansion, I don't know how many times the level has been carried out, especially now when the government army is in charge.
"Sure enough, there is something abnormal, Hu Qingming, this bastard, actually stopped this official from the door!" Feng Ziming's brows furrowed.
"Oh? I refuse to see you, it seems that this Shanyang Mansion is really lively! Hearing Feng Ziming's words, Zhao Xun's face tightened, and he said slowly.
Shanyang Mansion said in a deep voice, Hu Qingming excused the war ahead of him, and he needed to be busy raising military supplies, grain and grass supplies, and now he is not in the mansion, but busy in the counties. Bah, I obviously saw him enter the mansion, but I actually deceived the official. Feng Ziming's face was very ugly, he was underestimated by a lieutenant under him last time, and now, even the assassin of Yifu dared to be in front of him and slapped himself hard. With others on his side, Feng Ziming felt very bad.
"I didn't directly refuse not to see it, but made an excuse! It seems that it is not Hu Qingming, who is the assassin of Shanyang Mansion now, but Hu Zhi, who recruits troops! Zhao Xun said slowly.
Feng Ziming calmed down, and then nodded as well: "I'm confused by it, it seems that it is true." Xu Jie, sure enough, is still the same Xu Jie! ”
Zhao Xun knew what Feng Ziming was sighing, Xu Jie's ability to become the governor of a state and not surrender to Murong Cheng, who had the carelessness of the imperial court, meant that he was not simple. Look at the previous table xiàn, kill the internal spies, and be merciless. I thought that he was now being taken by the forces of all sides surrounded by him, but now it seems that Xu Jie's game is high.
"Being able to suppress Lord Shi, the chief official of the First Mansion, then it means that he is not only because he has soldiers in his hands, but more importantly, he has Xu Jie's military orders in his hands." Zhao Xun narrowed his eyes and said.
"Then leave it alone?" Wei Dong muttered.
"No, Hu Qingming still wants to see him, at least find out what tricks Hu Zhi is doing. Since he doesn't want to, then we'll go straight to the door. Wei Duwei, you send someone to keep an eye on Hu Qingming's actions, and as soon as we have the opportunity, we will meet you directly. I still don't believe it, he Hu Qingming just shrunk in the Thorn Mansion and didn't come out! Feng Ziming waved his hand and said.
…………
"Order, be the first to storm the city, and reward a thousand silver coins! Ten beauties! Joined the Tang Army and was awarded the post of captain! Under the city of Boping, Chen Chang, the former military captain, rode on a horse, shouting loudly and constantly running forward and backward.
Every time he shouted, a large number of ghosts cried wolf, and everyone seemed to see the shining silver coins and the woman with a figure beckoning to him.
And the promise of that official made everyone forget that the defenders in the city were originally their comrades, and they only knew that now, they were already members of the Tang Army.
That's right, the more than 5,000 people who are now besieging the city are not the regular troops of the Tang Army, but the Yanzhou Army that was captured or surrendered in Liangzhou Prefecture. Before, they captured another city in Liangzhou Mansion, and it was also the penultimate city, Liaocheng. Their hands have been stained with the government army, and it is also the blood of the former robes.
"General, let the Liangzhou Mansion army attack the city, not only can the soldiers and prisoners be hostile to the Yanzhou Mansion army, but also consume the garrison troops and arrow materials, but I don't know if the reinforcements from the Yanzhou Mansion Army will move!" In the rear, in the middle of the neat military formation of the Tang Army, dozens of generals and colonels rode on horses, looking at the siege ahead with a smile.
Meng Zhao, the right general of the Tang Army, looked at the city in front of him and sneered: "Prisoner? Not only them, but we also want the accompanying Liangzhou Mansion to attack the city, I want to see if Zhang Ting, who is defending the city, can really do it. If Liangzhou Mansion wants to completely stabilize itself, it can only break their hearts towards Yanzhou! ”
Speaking of Boping's guard Zhang Ting, Meng Zhao's face was not good-looking, the army attacked Liaocheng and Boping at the same time, and Liaocheng was taken down, and in the land of Boping, the guard general Zhang Ting, he made a loss, but lost more than 2,000 subordinates.
"Defeated and back! Zhang Ting is also ruthless enough, the siege of the city is all his former colleagues, and he also went to do it without hesitation. Lieutenant Yi said with a solemn face. The more ruthless the opponent is, the more difficult it is for the opponent to deal with.
In just a few charges, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Liangzhou Prefecture government were shot and killed by the defenders of the city, and all the siege equipment such as ladders were destroyed or discarded under the city. Most of the more than 3,000 soldiers who returned to the military formation were all wounded, trembling and pale. But more importantly, they are all cursing angrily, cursing Zhang Ting ruthlessly. is also in the same vein of Liangzhou Mansion, and it is ruthless.
They forgot that they were enemies now.
"Gather together the five thousand young men and those who are slightly injured and intact among the three thousand soldiers!" Meng Zhao shouted.
Seven or eight thousand people gathered in front of the Tang army, and the young man was even more trembling. After all, they were just ordinary people, who were transferred by the Tang Army to transport supplies. This bloody scene is really a little uncomfortable.
"Someone! Behead those who previously fled, in defiance of military law, and escaped from the battle! Meng Zhao rode in front of him and shouted coldly.
Hundreds of soldiers in armor pushed more than 100 soldiers of the Liangzhou Prefecture who had just been captured and escaped during the siege to the front of the thousands of chaotic crowds. Without waiting for these people to beg for mercy, they fell to the ground and raised their knives without saying anything, "Click...... Click...... "More than 100 bloody human heads fell to the ground."
The long knife that was still dripping blood, under the sunlight, exuded a palpitating blood color, and the rich smell of blood suddenly filled the air.
The mixed army soldiers and the young and strong crowd who were originally shouting were suddenly frightened and restless, but when they saw the hundreds of soldiers wearing armor and still bleeding with big swords in their hands, they quickly quieted down and no one dared to make a sound, and there was a dead silence in front of the entire military formation.
"You are now a member of my Tang Army, and if you join my Tang Army, you are a soldier, and you are no longer an ordinary person. Soldiers, you should remember military law! For those who do not obey military discipline, these dozens of heads are role models. Meng Zhao was very satisfied with the effect of his ruthlessness, and looked at the dense human heads and said sharply.
"You also saw that it was your Liangzhou Mansion army that was defending the city, so they didn't regard you as their own people at all, and they were ruthless. In other words, you are already enemies with the Yanzhou government army, and you are no longer in a subordinate relationship. Don't forget, Liaocheng was won with your help. Do you still expect the Yanzhou Mansion Army to recapture the Liangzhou Mansion and pardon you? ”
"Listen to me, and take the city, and all the soldiers and young men will be rewarded with ten silver coins, and the first to enter the city shall be according to what was said before. Get ready and continue the siege! Meng Zhao said sharply.
On Boping City, who has been paying attention to the guards of the enemy camp under the city, Zhang Ting, the commander of the Boping Prefecture, looked at the situation under the city, and his face became more and more gloomy.
"Damn, the Tang Army is too despicable! Not to mention using our soldiers to attack the city, we are also preparing to let ordinary young people attack the city! Zhang straightened his side and shouted angrily as a lieutenant.
Zhang Ting was silent, despicable or not, it doesn't matter anymore, what matters is how to defend this city. Otherwise, the soldiers and young men in Boping City will be the same as them.
"Lord Duwei, the general of the Tang Army is so vicious, in this way, if we want to defend the city, we must fight back against these young men and soldiers. Then we will have a relationship with the rest of the counties in Liangzhou Prefecture...... In the future, if you want to subdue the Liangzhou Mansion, it will be difficult to get the support of the people of the counties of the Liangzhou Prefecture. The first lieutenant frowned.
Zhang Ting smiled bitterly: "Not only that, but they can also divide our relationship with the people of the counties of Liangzhou Prefecture in this way, and the people of Lingzhou Mansion will no longer have their hearts towards us, and their hearts will be smaller, which will be more conducive to them to stabilize the rule of the counties of Liangzhou Prefecture!" Forget it, that's not going to happen for now. Captain Li, I don't know what happened to General Ye? We can say everything else, that is, the materials for defending the city are insufficient, especially the arrows and crossbows are missing, and the defense of the city is inseparable from these. If there is not enough replenishment, it will be difficult to defend the city. ”
The first lieutenant behind Zhang Ting is Li Changkui, the reinforcement lieutenant who previously supported Boping. This person has no sense of power, and he also knows that he is inferior to Zhang Ting, so he handed over the responsibility of defending the city to Zhang Ting. And Zhang Ting is not arrogant, and he is also respectful to Li Changkui.
Li Changkui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Duwei Zhang, you and I are both in the city, and I really don't know about the situation with General Ye." However, I guess it's time to come. However, looking at today's scene, the Tang army's siege of the city was only to divide the relationship between our army and the rest of the counties in Liangzhou Prefecture, and defending the city should not be a problem. ”
"I hope there won't be any problems with General Ye!"
Twenty miles southwest of Boping City is Ye Xuan's camp, and they naturally know about the Tang army's siege. Ye Xuan was not ambiguous, he understood that if Boping was taken, his support would be meaningless. Of course, he didn't believe that the other party could take Boping City today.
So, when the Tang army was attacking the city, he also sent thousands of troops to march towards the flank of the Tang army and contain the Tang army from the flank. Ye Xuan's department and the Tang Army met ten miles southwest of Boping City, and without saying a word, the big battle began.
"Brothers, the Tang thieves killed my people, occupied my city, and insulted my fathers and fellow villagers, today, we will use the spear in our hands to sue them, and my Yanzhou government army is not muddy! Kill me! The lieutenant of the government army roared with a hideous face.
"The government army also dares to shout at our army, looking for death! Kill me! "The captain of the Tang army is not good at stubble, twisting the gun and shouting.
"Boom...... two thousands of armies collided like big waves, splashing countless blood splashes. The sharp spear lightly pierced the opponent's body, and then pierced the body of the second person. But just as the man was about to draw his spear, he was cut to the ground by the incoming enemy soldiers. All of a sudden, countless soldiers from both sides died on the spot.
But I have to say that the ruthlessness of the Tang army is more powerful than that of the government army. What's more, the Tang soldiers are soldiers who have experienced many wars, and they can exchange non-fatal wounds on their bodies for each other's lives, but the government army can't do much.
Gradually, the momentum of the government army was slightly sluggish, while the Tang army became more and more brave in the field. Fortunately, Ye Xuan's army arrived, which also made the government army not defeated. Obviously, the Tang army was unwilling to fight with the government army, and did not attack in front, but only intercepted in front, and for a while, 10,000 government troops and seven or eight thousand Tang troops faced each other, silent and in the middle of the battlefield.
Seeing Tang Jun's actions, Ye Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief, the Tang Army's forward department, that is, 11,12, plus the soldiers, was only 17,000. Now that half of the Tang army is here, especially the main force of the Tang army, it is no longer difficult to defend the city.
