Chapter 175: A Great Victory

After An Shouzhong's first attack failed, he made a big turn and sent an envoy to Liang Xingfa's military camp. The arrival of this envoy has gone through nine deaths, and if it weren't for Liang Xingfa's timely promulgation that the two armies would not fight and not kill the envoys, this envoy would have been a ghost under the knife. What is rare is that this envoy is stunned and ignorant of the sky, and his attitude has always remained very arrogant.

However, Liang Xingfa didn't bother to see such a number one person, neither met with this envoy nor sent someone to meet with this envoy, he just took care of him once a day, and always picked up some leftovers from the soldiers and gave him the meals.

After a few days, the messenger could not endure the suffering, so he had to run back on his own. After listening to the messenger's report, An Shouzhong and Yan Zhuang were furious. They felt that Liang Xingfa was also underestimating them, and since they didn't care about the hostages, they tied up the hostages and sent them to the city gate, and shouted to the defenders at the city gate, telling them to kill the hostages if they had the ability.

Just when An Shouzhong and Yan Zhuang wanted to watch a good show, something unexpected happened to them again. The gates were opened, which meant that they were invited into the city. It's a pity that An Shouzhong and the others didn't think of this, the army was still far behind, and it was too late to rush into the city at this time.

They did not act, but Liang Xingfa did, he sent an army to rescue the hostages, and successfully rescued the hostages back to the city. An Shouzhong wanted to lead a large army into the city while the city gate was not closed. But this was just a little fantasy of theirs, because Liang Xingfa had already set up a fort on the city tower, and An Shouzhong's army was bombarded by cannonballs before they could get close to the city gate. The soldiers were so frightened that they refused to move forward no matter how much the generals scolded them. An Shouzhong's feeling about this is that he was played like a monkey by Liang Xingfa.

At this time, the city gate was closed, and even if An Shouzhong's army arrived, it would be useless. But Yan Zhuang thought that they were still useful, so he simply ordered the siege of the city. As a result, more than 100,000 people surrounded this city, and they set up ladders to attack it.

Prior to this, Liang Xingfa had convened all the generals to come to a meeting, encouraging everyone not to be afraid of death, to fight bravely to kill the enemy, as the so-called wealth and danger seeking, hoping to meet with wealth in the future. The generals were so moved that they all showed a desperate posture on the battlefield. The soldiers who stormed the tower engaged in hand-to-hand combat with them, and each of them could be a hundred.

Liang Xingfa also took the lead in charging into battle, killing dozens of people as soon as he came up. At this time, Liang Xingfa has gone beyond the scope of the commander, for the soldiers on the battlefield Liang Xingfa represents a kind of example power, so the courage of the soldiers under his command doubled, and the enemy soldiers were killed to the point of losing their armor, and one after another enemy troops were repulsed.

Generally, an army that survives from death is capable of winning battles. Whoever is not afraid of death will be able to win the war. And the reason why the rebels retreated was because they felt that they had no need to fight hard, and that there was no hope of victory as long as there was the slightest hesitation.

Yan Zhuang saw that the situation was not right, so he advised An Shouzhong to retreat, because they were like wood and let others cut it down, and if they continued like this, they would be killed by others sooner or later. An Shouzhong was willing to withdraw like this, but he couldn't help but be solemnly persuaded because the situation was indeed not optimistic, and the tens of thousands of the most elite under him were almost dead. In desperation, An Shouzhong had to reluctantly retreat, and after retreating, he couldn't help but shed tears a few times.

Two days passed. After An Shouzhong finished crying, he had to continue to make decisions, either to continue to attack, or to go back with no gains. People are good-looking, and An Shouzhong is no exception, so he decided to continue the attack.

Before attacking, it is always necessary to determine the direction of the attack. After suffering several big losses in a row, An Shouzhong finally learned to be cautious, and if he attacked rashly like this, he would only lose his wife and lose his troops. The hostages that were lost last time caused many soldiers to be unable to get wives, so the entire barracks was full of complaints. Looking at such a low morale, An Shouzhong wanted to make up for it by winning a battle.

So, An Shouzhong sent his most detective spy team out to investigate and see which corner of Liang Xingfa's side had the weakest defense. There is no way, he can only pick persimmons and pinch them softly. In fact, the result did not disappoint him, and his reconnaissance team really discovered the weak area on Liang Xingfa's side.

As a result, An Shouzhong sent a large army to attack the northeast corner of Liang Xingfa's side, because after some exploration, this was the weakest place. They were in a hurry, because they were in desperate need of a decent victory.

When they were still on the road, they saw that the army on Liang Xingfa's side was running away, and they seemed to be very afraid of An Shouzhong's side, and what made An Shouzhong's people even more excited was that when the people on Liang Xingfa's side saw that they were not only running, but also running very embarrassed, the banner was also messed up, the formation was also messed up, and there was even a situation where you pushed me and I pushed you.

An Shouzhong was extremely proud, thinking that these people had fled to the northeast corner, which meant that the defense there was too poor to dare to confront them head-on. Therefore, An Shouzhong and the others chased very fast, thinking that a large piece of fat was waiting for him ahead.

However, Ahn will accept defeat once again. Because those soldiers who escaped were nothing more than a trick arranged by Liang Xingfa to give An Shouzhong a trick to deliberately lure An Shouzhong deep into his sphere of influence. Moreover, Liang Xingfa planned to come to an ambush, with him personally as the commander-in-chief, and even more powerful people, his subordinates were all armed with firearms.

When An Shouzhong's army came to the path in the northeast corner, they suddenly heard shouts of killing, and then countless Tang soldiers with muskets and explosive bags ran out from both sides. They first opened fire on the rebels, causing them to fall to the ground on their backs, and the cries and cries of pain rang out in the air. Immediately afterwards, the Tang soldiers threw bombs at the rebels, causing the rebels to cry bitterly.

The more Tang Jun fought, the more excited he became, the older An Shouzhong became, the more depressed he became, and he really wanted to die when he was on the ground again and again. In fact, he didn't know that the reason why he would be fooled was because Liang Xingfa had already read his deeds thoroughly.

Now that he has found out that he has been deceived, An Shouzhong has only one way to choose, and that is to retreat. At this time, I can't take care of it, as long as I can run away, I don't care if it's a wolf. After losing tens of thousands of horses, An Shouzhong finally managed to escape. He and Yan Zhuang both looked like they wanted to cry without tears.

After running like this for a long time, night fell, and with it a torrential rain. solemnly and sadly, God is pitying them, it is really not beautiful. It happened that this was the foot of another mountain, and An Shouzhong ordered the soldiers to camp here and have a good rest. At the very least, you have to have a warm meal first. They were too lazy to do defense, thinking that the enemy would not chase after such bad weather and at night.

Liang Xingfa was naturally very happy to win the battle, and he should have celebrated, but Liang Xingfa thought that he should not be happy at this time. The subordinates were puzzled and asked him why?

Liang Xingfa said: "We should take advantage of the victory and pursue it once and for all. However, the chicken-headed monster said to Liang Xingfa: "Isn't it said that the poor don't chase? ”

Liang Xingfa said: "At this time and at that time, we must make practical decisions according to the actual situation. They certainly didn't think we'd attack. The facts turned out to be as Liang Xingfa expected. When they appeared in front of the rebels, the rebels did not react at all, and could only be slaughtered like fish. As a result, An Shouzhong's leading troops this time can really be called the annihilation of the entire army. (To be continued.) )
