When Shenji's army arrived at Xinfengcang, his army only had 80,000 people left, and after only a dozen miles of hilly areas, the number of soldiers who fled into the mountains and forests reached 30,000.

Shenji's army began to assemble the whole team and prepare for the first attack, Shenji had no way to retreat, and there was no time for him to deploy and wait, he could only rely on bloody battles to ignite the blood of the soldiers.

Under the moonlight, ten five-zhang high wooden frames were erected in the field in front of Xinfengcang, about three hundred steps away from the wall of Xinfengcang, standing alone in the wilderness, like ten tall and thin giants, standing there looking down on the earth, it looked particularly strange, and the eyes of all the soldiers were cast on it, not knowing what their function was.

At this moment, in the silence of the night, a thunderous shelling suddenly broke out, three hundred artillery pieces on the wall fired at the same time, a moment of thick smoke billowing, three hundred shells whistling into the distance, one by one exploded, dust flying, black clouds rose into the sky, in the explosion and smoke, ten wooden frames collapsed, were blown to pieces, when the smoke dissipated, the explosion disappeared, and one after another deep pits appeared in the field.

At this time, the 80,000 troops two miles away were stunned by the shock, and many of them couldn't stand the roar of the explosion, blocked their ears, lay on the ground, and screamed along with the explosion.

But the demonstration of the Chu army did not end, and then the second round of artillery broke out again, and the sharp whistling sound of hundreds of shells swept through the air, and exploded in a series of fields hundreds of steps away, and the waves of air set off were close to the army two miles away, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the terrifying atmosphere enveloped the entire field.

All the soldiers were like ashes, they had already heard that the Chu army had a sharp thunder bomb, today was the first time to see it, each of them was extremely frightened, let them charge, this can only be a dead end, not even the edge of the granary can not be touched, it will be blown to the bones.

Shen Ji's face was also pale, his heart had sunk into the abyss, but the madness that lurked in the depths of his heart gradually began to erupt, his face turned red from congestion, and he suddenly yelled, "Kill!" ”

With a wave of his sword, he shouted, "Brothers, rush in!" ”

The rumbling war drums sounded, and the army began to scratch and move forward slowly, an instinct to accept orders, but none of them really moved forward, grinding and slowing down as much as possible, and even the soldiers in the front rows simply leaned back, pushed forward by the soldiers behind.

Shen Ji was furious, he pointed to the soldiers in front of him, and ordered his own soldiers: "Whoever dares not move, kill me!" ”

As soon as the soldiers rushed forward, they raised their knives and slashed, and in an instant, dozens of corpses were lying on the ground, at this time, a young officer could no longer hold back, and stepped forward and said: "General, if you go up, you will be sent to death, you can't blame the brothers, let's stay in the camp first!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ji held the horse lance in his hand and pierced his chest fiercely, and Shen Ji scolded: "Vertical son An dares to disturb the heart of our army? ”

He waved his horse, "Rush up for me, slow footsteps, kill!" ”

Advance is death, retreat is death, the soldiers have to kill overwhelmingly, Huangfu Wujin stood on the high platform, shook his head helplessly, he wanted to save the lives of these soldiers, he didn't want to kill more, how could these soldiers not know how to flee, there was no way.

Seeing that the enemy group had already rushed into range, he coldly ordered, "Artillery bombardment!" ”

This time, instead of 300 artillery pieces, 500 artillery pieces roared in unison, and the sound of explosions resounded through the heavens and the earth, 500 shells exploded in the crowd, exploding overhead, flesh and blood flew sideways, shrapnel burst out, stumps and severed arms flew into the air, screams and cries, which made people unbearable to see.

Two miles away, Shen Ji's eyes were red, his eyes were full of excitement and excitement, as long as his soldiers were willing to fight hard, then he had a chance to live.

At this time, a young officer, the elder brother of the officer who had just been killed, had witnessed the killing of his brother, and the hatred had made him completely forget the danger.

Shen Ji was surrounded by hundreds of guards, he couldn't get close at all, he hid under the flag closest to Shen Ji, only more than twenty steps away from Shen Ji, under the moonlight, he could clearly see Shen Ji's back.

Shen Ji was heavily armoured, and if it wasn't for a strong bow, it would be difficult to shoot through his armor, but he had a loophole outside, that is, his fat neck, and there were two pieces of fat hanging from the back of his neck, which were thick and thick, and the officer drew an arrow and slowly put it on the bow, at this time everyone was watching the battlefield, the battle flag blocked the view behind him, and no one paid attention to his abnormality.

In the fierce artillery fire, the soldiers of the first wave of shock lost thousands of people, and after a crushing defeat, Shen Ji jumped like thunder, waving his sword and shouting: "No retreat!" Whoever dares to retreat will be killed! ”

At the moment when he shouted, the officer activated, and he jerked his bowstring, aiming at the back of Shen Ji's neck, and as soon as the string loosened, a powerful feathered arrow shot out like lightning.

Shen Ji screamed and grabbed his neck violently, the arrow pierced his throat, the tip of the arrow peeked out of his throat, his body shook, he fell off his horse, and his own soldiers were in chaos.

The officer turned his horse's head and ran, waving the battle flag, which he waved and shouted, "Shen Ji is dead, everyone flee for your life!" ”

Hundreds of his men responded to him, "Shenji is dead, everyone flee for their lives!" ”

The army began to stir, and the thousands of people who saw Shen Ji fall began to break and flee, gradually affecting 10,000 people, tens of thousands of people, the whole army began to shake, and the more than 20,000 soldiers who fled back from the front were the first to flee, they were already frightened, whether Shen Ji died or not, they were unwilling to fight again.

The 80,000-strong army began to collapse on the whole line and fled to the west, at this moment, the horn sounded behind them, the horn whimpered, the sound of killing shook the sky, the hooves of the war horses made the earth tremble, and the overwhelming cavalry surrounded the enemy from all sides, which was the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Xiliang army.

Huangfu Wujin also issued an order, "The whole army is dispatched and disarmed the enemy!" ”

The 80,000 army in the hundreds of thousands of Chu army and the Xiliang cavalry before and after the attack, countless can escape, have knelt on the ground to surrender, Shenji's hundreds of personal soldiers holding the undead Shenji want to break through, was killed by the Xiliang army with a knife, the sinful Shenji finally died tragically in the chaos.

The surrender of the 80,000 Shenji Army, plus the more than 20,000 deserters captured by the Xiliang cavalry from all around, and the more than 10,000 cavalry captured before, a total of 130,000 Guanzhong troops were captured alive.

Huangfu Wujin ordered the Guanzhong Army to be reorganized overnight to ensure the number of troops besieging Yongjing.

A personal soldier handed him the captured Shenji's horse lance, Huangfu Wujin took it, he waved it twice in the air, yes, it felt very good, he laughed, "I took this trophy." ”

At this time, more than a dozen scout soldiers brought a young officer up, and the scout captain bowed and saluted, "Your Highness, this is the person who shot Shen Ji!" ”

Seeing that he was quite young, Huangfu Wujin smiled slightly and asked, "Why did you shoot Shen Ji?" ”

The young officer fell to the ground and wept: "Back to Your Highness, my brother advised Shen Ji to cherish the soldiers and not to attack blindly, but he was killed by Shen Ji on the spot, I want to avenge my brother, and I will never be loyal to this mad butcher!" ”

Huangfu Wujin nodded, "What's your name, what is your official position?" ”

"Returning to His Royal Highness, Zhao Chu is a lieutenant colonel."

"A lieutenant knows righteousness, very good, I have a word in the army, kill the Shen Ji, reward ten thousand taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to three levels, although you are not my subordinate, but I can't be untrustworthy, forgive you for the crime of hostility, reward five thousand taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to the general of the captain, go and bury your brother!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, I am willing to serve Your Highness to the death!"

The young officer kowtowed to Huangfu Wujin and slowly retreated, at this time, Zhang Chongjun, who was standing not far away, walked up and bowed to Huangfu Wujin, "Minister Zhang Chongjun see His Royal Highness!" ”

"Dashuai, please don't be polite, the battle of Taiyuan, subduing Luo Zhiyu, Dashuai has worked hard."

Zhang Chongjun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is a prize, accept Luo Zhiyu, I am just building momentum, the real reason is that the general trend has gone, and Zhang Xiangguo's persuasion, I have no credit, this time to defeat Shenji, I am too late again, and I haven't grabbed the first credit, hey!" ”

Huangfu Wujin looked at his eldest son Zhang Yannian beside him and smiled slightly: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the majority should also give way to the seat and let Zhang Shaoshuai emerge." ”

Zhang Chongjun was awe-inspiring, he understood the meaning of Huangfu Wujin, the world was unified, if he still controlled the Xiliang cavalry, he would be a bit of a meritorious town lord, Huangfu Wujin meant to let him step down and let his son take over, which was an explanation for him.

Only then did I understand why Huangfu Wujin had to keep his eldest son by his side, it turned out that it was to take over his class, Huangfu Wujin was worthy of being the grandson of Emperor Jin'an, he was really far-sighted, and he had already thought of a way back for himself.

He bowed deeply, "The old minister is willing to resign from the military and become an official in the court." ”

．．．．．．．． At dusk, the Yanping Gate of Yongjing was slowly closed, and more than 100,000 refugees all poured into the city, and the streets and alleys of Yongjing were full of refugees, especially the major monasteries in the capital were full of refugees of all ages.

Pingkangfang's Chufeng Tea House has calmed down a lot these days, not only Chufeng Tea House, many shops, green buildings, and wine shops in Pingkangfang have closed their doors, and a large number of people have fled, making them almost no business, Chufeng Tea House has officially closed the door of the store since noon, with a notice posted on it, and when the situation is stable, the tea house will officially resume business.

It was getting dark, and under the cover of night, more than a dozen carriages loaded with goods drove into the tea house, and dozens of intelligence spies from Chuzhou poured up together.

Yu Yongqing said to everyone: "Everyone help, carry upstairs." ”

At this time, on the second floor of a large warehouse in the tea house, five hundred elite Chu soldiers were resting on the floor, at this time, the door opened, everyone carried a few large boxes into the house, and the Chu soldiers lying on the floor got up one after another and surrounded them.

Yu Yongqing opened the box, it was full of new weapons and armor, he smiled: "This is Yongzhou's equipment, it was brought from the weapons supervisor, everyone has a set, take it yourself!" ”
