-- Time goes back half an hour --

Just when Wei Zhuang feinted to attack the eastern camp of the Zhou army and successfully lured out Liao Li, Zhang Dong, Tang Hao, Ou Peng and other generals of the Zhou army, at the border of the Niuzhu region, Wei Huzheng, a friend of the commander of the Niuzhu Taiping Army and one of the six generals, led nearly 10,000 soldiers to help day and night.

Wei Hu, is one of the nine people who went to Jijing to participate in the trial with the withered sheep and Wei Zou, and is also the best among the young generals of the Taiping army, although the relationship with the withered sheep was extremely bad at first, and they were not used to each other, but because the withered sheep had saved his life in Jijing, therefore, Wei Hu has since regarded the withered sheep as a life and death brother who can share weal and woe, and the relationship between the two is not a brother, but it is better than a brother.

But compared to Wei Hu's enthusiasm for the withered sheep, the withered sheep treated the former relatively coldly, after all, the withered sheep was not easy to be enthusiastic about others, and furthermore, because there was a brother-in-law who lived in the criminal department in the Zhou court, which made the withered sheep always feel a little awkward when meeting the generals of the Taiping Army. What's more, Wei Hu is still one of the people who know the relationship between Withered Yang and Xie An.

In fact, the reason why Wu Heng, the fourth commander of the Taiping Army, sent Wei Zhuang to Niu Zhu to help and monitor the withered sheep was precisely because of the relationship between the withered sheep and Xie An. It is undeniable that the reason why Wu Heng knew about this matter was that Wei Hu told him in private, after all, Wei Hu was extremely loyal to Wu Heng. However, telling Wu Heng in private about the hidden things of the withered sheep does not mean that Wei Hu intends to betray the brotherhood with the withered sheep, on the contrary, Wei Hu attaches great importance to this brotherly relationship.

It's because it's so important. Wei Hucai couldn't sit idly by and watch the withered sheep hesitate between the Taiping army and the Zhou state.

[Withered Sheep has a brother-in-law who is an excellent official in the Zhou State, and it is hard to imagine that this person will serve Wu Shuai loyally.] Serve my Taiping Army! - I have to guard against it! ]

Wei Hu didn't know how many times he heard his henchmen and generals say similar things, and Wei Hu began to regret revealing the matter of the withered sheep to his henchmen and generals. You must know that his original intention was just to let the generals think about how to make the withered sheep desperate to stay in the Taiping army, but as a result, the generals under his command had to persuade him to explain the matter to Wu Heng more than once and remove the withered sheep's military power.

Even, but after Wu Heng heard about it. I also thought about whether to idle the withered sheep, thanks to Wei Hu's maneuvering around and using his head as a guarantee, which reluctantly persuaded Wu Heng that the withered sheep obviously had such an inseparable relationship with the Zhou court, but he was still able to occupy the status of the six god generals.

Similar to the experiences of Wu Heng and Withered Sheep, Wei Hu also grew up in the homes of the old ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty. His father and uncles were all partial generals in the first Taiping Army, and in the Battle of Wuhu twenty years ago, like the rest of the first Taiping Army, he was forced to go to Wuhu in the cold winter of Layue by the fierce general of Zhou Guo and Hou Liangqiu of Dongzhen, and finally died at the bottom of the lake. It becomes a bait for fish and shrimp on the bottom of the lake.

Because of this, Wu Heng has great trust in Wei Hu, not only because Wei Hu is a reckless man with little scheming and tendons, but also because Wei Hu has a strong resistance and hatred for Da Zhou. And of course, Wei Hu didn't want to be regarded as a dead sheep of his own brother. continued to maintain such an unclear relationship with Zhou Guo.

But even so, Wei Hu never thought of giving up his brotherhood with the withered sheep. After all, it is really difficult for a person to meet several brothers who have experienced life and death together in their lives.

Therefore, after learning the unfavorable news of the dry sheep war, Wei Hu even abandoned the safety of Jinling, an important city, and led half of his troops to come to the rescue.

I have to say that Wei Hu came to rescue the withered sheep this time, in fact, he took a great risk, after all, he was guarding Jinling, which was one of the few important cities in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the army of Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, crossed Jinling and went directly to Guangling, Jinling was too close to Guangling, and it could not be ruled out that Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, directly waved his army south to occupy Jinling City, the bridgehead in the south of the Yangtze River, and cut off the connection between the main force of the Taiping army Wu Heng and the rest of the Taiping army.

Wei Hu is not a person who is good at calculating gains and losses, but there is no shortage of his subordinates who admonish him. The meaning of the words is heavy, even if Wei Hu thinks about it at the moment, he feels quite stressed.

[Think twice!] -- Jinling is a place that our Taiping army must never lose, and it is a critical place that connects Jiangnan with Yang and Xu, and it must not be lost. Wu Shuai trusts the general, so he will hand over this important land to the general, and the general must not disappoint Wu Shuai! If Li Xian takes Jinling, Wu Shuai's back road will be cut off, and it will be difficult to return to my Jiangnan! As for the withered sheep...... As far as the current war situation is concerned, Niu Zhu will be lost if he loses it, and it will not damage the foundation of our Taiping Army, but Jinling must not be lost! Moreover, it is rumored that the withered sheep has an old relationship with the Zhou State, and this time the commander-in-chief of the Zhou army, Xie An, is the brother-in-law of the withered sheep......]

Wei Hu replied to this kind of exhortation.

[Fart!] Do you want Lao Tzu to watch the withered sheep like a brother being broken by Zhou Jun?! ――Jinling, if you don't lose it, won't it be over? Less nonsense, the withered sheep must be saved! Is there any guy who doesn't know each other who dares to talk more, and let him see whether the sword in the general's hand is sharp or not! ]

Dropping this sentence, Wei Hu quietly withdrew from Jinling City with half of his troops, and rushed to rescue the withered sheep day and night.

I have to say that Wei Hu has the consistent characteristics of the generals of the Taiping Army, who are more brave and less resourceful, hot-blooded and impulsive, and do things without considering the gains and losses, only relying on his own subjective likes and dislikes.

In order to rescue the withered sheep, he did not hesitate to risk being punished or even dismissed by Wu Heng, the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army, and dared to send troops when Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, had led his army to threaten the vicinity of Guangling, without considering what kind of catastrophe it would be for the Taiping army if Jinling City was obtained by Li Xian. He also did not consider whether the nearly 10,000 troops he brought with him on this trip alone could have the effect of supporting the withered sheep.

Even as a tendon, he lacks all the qualities that he must possess in order to be a general.

As the saying goes, a hundred miles of profit-seekers are generals, like Wei Hu, who rushed from Jinling City day and night to Niuzhu to support the withered sheep, not only was the cavalry seriously disconnected from the infantry team, but even the basic physical strength of the soldiers to deal with emergencies was not reserved, it was really hard to imagine that he could really arrive in Niuzhu safe and sound.

You must know that when Liao Li faced Wei Zhuang, he intuitively felt that there seemed to be something in the north that made him quite uneasy. This is precisely because Wei Hu was resting in the forest in the north at that time.

In all fairness, he Wei Hu is not tired. But the problem is that the cavalry team under his command is too disconnected from the infantry team, because of the long journey, the infantry under his command is nearly ten miles behind, if Liao Li or Tang Hao, Zhang Dong, Ou Peng and other four people did detect the existence of Wei Hu at that time, and led the troops under his command to intercept it, Wei Hu let alone successfully enter the east camp of the Zhou army to relieve the siege of the withered sheep, he could not even protect himself.

But it has to be said. Providence is really unfathomable, above human schemes, and no one thought that such a brave and unscrupulous act as Wei Hu would be able to successfully achieve what he wanted.

At least Liao Li couldn't have imagined that he wouldn't have thought that it was precisely because he felt that this battle would undoubtedly be won, so he temporarily changed his mind to pursue Wei Zhuang, the general of the Taiping Army. made Xie An's plan to attack the withered sheep on all sides have a loophole; Xie An also couldn't imagine that it was precisely because he wanted to trap the withered sheep with Tang Hao, Zhang Dong, and Ou Peng, and that the East Camp was empty due to the lack of troops in the case of strengthening the garrison of the three battalions of the West Battalion, the South Camp, and the North Battalion, which enabled Wei Hu to rush into the camp without hindrance.

Providence is like a knife, unpredictable, and today's providence seems to be close to Wei Hu. No one in the Zhou army thought that Wei Hu, a new force of the Taiping army, would suddenly join the battle, so that when Liao Li and other four generals led Wei Zhuang, the general of the Taiping army, out of the camp, no one thought about whether to arrange sentry guards in the east camp, and they all focused their attention on the withered sheep in the center of the camp that had been trapped and died in it and the 15,000 soldiers under his command.

Liao Li, who was supposed to be guarding the camp, left his post without permission, and Xie An neglected the garrison of Dongying. Xu Le burned down the Dongying camp gate, and the Dongling people, who were responsible for monitoring the situation in the field, went to the battlefield under the leadership of Mo Fei and sniped the generals of the Niuzhu Taiping Army. It can be said that Wei Hu's army rushed into the Zhou camp without hindrance, and even more, no one even noticed Wei Hu's arrival.

I have to say that today's Wei Hu's good luck can be called explosive, you must know that in normal times, he attacked the Zhou army with such courage and no strategy, and at least nine times out of ten times he was defeated, but tonight, everyone in the Zhou army focused their attention on the withered sheep, so much so that he was called to succeed in a sneak attack.

Compared with Wei Hu's explosive good luck, Qi Zhi, the former Taiping Army's six god generals, is obviously a point of existence. Previously, with five or six thousand troops, he blocked more than 20,000 dead sheep and suppressed the latter, who was out of breath, never imagined that behind him, which should have been safe, would suddenly burst out of an enemy army, and when he was shining, he ended his fate as a general.

Some people may think that Wei Hu led more than 1,000 cavalry and thousands of soldiers to fight into the east camp of the Zhou army, didn't Qi Zhi notice the abnormal noise from the rear at all?

Yes, Qi Sik will not notice.

Because he was in a battlefield where tens of thousands of troops had been invested, and his surroundings were full of Taiping soldiers and Zhou soldiers fighting each other, and the voices of people and horses barked, as if such chaotic noises filled his ears, why should he pay attention to the threat from behind?

Some people may ask, what about the Dongling people, who are responsible for surveying and monitoring the field, haven't they noticed Wei Hu either?

Yes, it's a pity, because Mo Fei is leading the assassins of the Dongling people to snipe the officers of the Niuzhu Taiping Army.

It can be said that all the Zhou troops at that time were committed to encircling and suppressing the dry sheep army trapped in the camp, in their opinion, the dry sheep army was the only Taiping army in Niuzhu, as long as this army could be wiped out, then not only the battle would be won, but even Niuzhu could be successfully recovered.

Because of this, Wei Hu, who suddenly killed, effortlessly killed Qi Zhi, the general of the Zhou army, who was obviously a little lax, and broke through the defense line of Qi Zhi's army in one fell swoop, and successfully joined the withered sheep army.

I have to say that Wei Hu's arrival not only surprised the Zhou army, but also the dead sheep.

Although the withered sheep also thought about whether Wei Hu would send troops to help, he did not think that Wei Hu would care about the safety of the important city of Jinling, and come straight to help him day and night.

[…… Lao Tzu has come to save you, withered sheep! ]

Listening to the slightly ostentatious and ostentatious tone, the withered sheep couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

Although Wei Hu privately told Wu Heng about the relationship between his withered sheep and Xie An, the commander-in-chief of the Zhou army, but knowing this, Wei Hu still led the army to rescue him without hesitation, instead of doubting whether his withered sheep had the possibility of defeat and defection to the Zhou army.

It's just that......

That's it. He really lost completely......

Although he had also thought about admitting defeat to Xie An before, but now. He lost before he even had a chance to admit defeat, because an external force on his side intervened in the bet.

However, in the face of Wei Hu, who was very happy after relieving himself, the withered sheep was really speechless.

How so? Say what?

Say you shouldn't have come to save me day and night? I actually thought about surrendering?

This kind of thing is absolutely unspeakable by the withered sheep.

However, Wei Hu didn't think about it so much, and when he saw that the withered sheep wanted to speak a few times and stopped, he thought that the latter was so moved that he couldn't be more proud. Killing a Zhou soldier with a knife, he stopped smiling and said, "Brother, leave the words of gratitude for later, ...... for now" Speaking of this, he glanced around and saw that the soldiers and horses under his command had disrupted the formation of the Zhou army. said excitedly, "By the way, you and I haven't killed the enemy together on the battlefield, right?" ――Do you dare to kill the Zhou army with me for a while?! ”

At this time, the withered sheep didn't know what to think, perhaps moved by the friendship of Wei Hu who came all the way to the rescue, and said in a flat tone that replied to his usual tone, "Why don't you dare?" - How can I be a reckless man like you?! ”

"As always, a poisonous tongue......" Wei Hu laughed when he heard this. Raise your arms and shout, "Listen to the sons and daughters of my Taiping Army, the two armies have merged into one army, so that Zhou Bing can see the strength of our army!" - Kill! ”

"Oh!!"

Due to the arrival of 10,000 fresh troops brought by Wei Hu's trip, the morale of the remaining Niu Zhu Taiping soldiers was greatly boosted. The withered sheep army joins the Wei Hu army. presented a counteroffensive situation that was different from Fang Cai, and in turn suppressed the Zhou soldiers.

"Qi Vegetation killed?"

When I heard the news. Tang Hao, the deputy marshal of the Jizhou Army, was dumbfounded, you must know that in his opinion, Qi Zhi is firmly superior to him in terms of force and strategy, and it is hard to imagine that this wise and brave former Taiping Army general would die here.

"Reinforcements from the Taiping Army? - There shouldn't be any other Taiping troops around here! ”

After all, Wei Hu beheaded Qi Zhi and broke through the defense line guarded by Qi Zhi, which meant that 15,000 people of the Withered Sheep Army suddenly escaped from the cage, relieving the embarrassment of being surrounded by the enemy, but put the Zhou soldiers in an unfavorable situation.

Because due to the arrival of Wei Hu, the Taiping army and the Zhou soldiers have reached a level in strength. But the bad thing is that the more than 20,000 soldiers of the Zhou army are actually distributed in three directions, led by the three generals Tang Hao, Zhang Dong, and Ou Peng, while the 25,000 soldiers of the Taiping army are gathered together. To put it bluntly, no matter which direction Dry Sheep and Wei Hu choose to break through, it is no longer something that Zhou Bing can stop. Even, the problem that the Zhou soldiers who were scattered at the moment was not whether they could besiege and kill the withered sheep and Wei Hu, but whether they could hold on to the attack of the withered sheep and Wei Hu, so as not to be broken by each one.

As Zhang Dong worried, although Wei Hu said that he was brave and less strategic, he did not even fail to see such an obvious opportunity, after successfully relieving the siege of the withered sheep, he was not in a hurry to withdraw his troops, but joined the withered sheep army to launch a counterattack against the Zhou soldiers, and fought in the Zhou army camp to prevent fire.

"Shaft daring?!"

With an angry scolding, Ou Peng, the general of the Zhou army, led the army to kill Wei Hu in anger, but unfortunately, there was actually no shortage of fierce generals in the Taiping army, such as Feng Xi, Qi Zhi, Wei Zou, Withered Sheep, Wei Zhuang and other wise and brave generals, which were lacking in the Taiping army, and Wei Hu was a typical example of young generals in the Taiping army who were stronger than force.

There was a chaotic sound of the bell, and the Jizhou soldiers were surprised to find that Ou Peng, who had been famous for a long time, was not Wei Hu's opponent, and the two of them fought each other in less than 20 rounds, and Ou Peng's arm had been scratched by Wei Hu's big knife.

After Ou Peng, Tang Hao also personally stepped forward to take down Wei Hu, but it turned out that he was not Wei Hu's opponent, and he was defeated in embarrassment. Although Ou Peng and Tang Hao's force is only in the middle of the Jizhou soldiers, not as good as Fei Guo and Liao Li, it is enough to prove that Wei Hu is no longer the hairy boy who was captured by Liangqiu Dance back then, and he has grown enough in force.

But having said that, at this moment, in the Zhou army, it is not that there are no characters who suppress Wei Hu, such as Di Bu.

As soon as Di Bu, the head of the heavy prison of the Jijing Prison Temple, made a move, he immediately suppressed Wei Hu. It's no wonder, after all, Di Bu's strength is comparable to that of Fei Guo, sometimes Xie An really feels that letting this fierce general who must be able to shine on the battlefield nest in the prison of the Great Prison Temple, this is really a bit of a big talent, but it is a pity that Di Bu prefers the days in the prison of the Great Prison Temple, otherwise, the position of the first fierce general of the Jizhou soldiers may not necessarily belong to the Fei country.

"Damn it! - In addition to the traitor in Fei Guo, are there such fierce generals in the Zhou army?! ”

Defeated in the battle with Di Bu, Wei Hu, who had seen the strength of the Zhou army, did not dare to stay any longer, and planned to retreat after calling the withered sheep.

However, Dibu was not the only one staring at him......

There is also a Mo Fei who has vaguely become the number one assassin in the world!

"Be careful!"

The Taiping sergeant beside him exclaimed in surprise.

Wei Hu looked up, and suddenly saw a sickle flying towards himself and the withered sheep, and without thinking, Wei Hu kicked the belly of the war horse under the crotch of the parallel withered sheep, kicking the war horse a few steps away, but he was hooked on the back by the sickle.

"Wei Hu!" Just now, when he saw Wei Hu come to rescue him, the withered sheep with his usual face was shocked, and he shouted loudly despite the fact that he was still on the ground.

"Whew!"

The scythe and the iron lock barb that linked the handle of the knife hooked Wei Hu's back and left shoulder into a bloody blur, but the resolute Wei Hu was silent.

"Take it!"

Mo Fei snorted, and immediately, more than a dozen Dongling people stepped forward together.

"Let's go!"

With a loud shout, Wei Hu grabbed the withered sheep, pulled it behind him, and then grabbed the horse's belly, regardless of the tip of the sword and spear that stabbed him, he stubbornly protected the withered sheep to break through the layers of obstacles of the Dongling people and the Zhou soldiers, and broke through.

In this battle, the Taiping army lost more than 12,000 soldiers, and more than 60 generals were sniped to death, among which the command system of the Taiping army in Niu Zhu was completely paralyzed. The Zhou soldiers lost more than 8,000 soldiers, most of which occurred after Wei Hu led reinforcements to arrive.

In addition, the general of the Zhou army and the former Taiping Army's six god generals, Yuheng Shen, was killed in battle.
