Chapter 566: Take Guiyang lightly
After agreeing on the date of dispatching troops, Zhao Fan gathered almost ninety percent of Guiyang's troops, marched north, and drove all the way, and it only took about seven days to arrive at Xiangnan County, less than 100 miles away from Changsha City. Zhao Fan still didn't know that Jin Xuan and Liu Du were still in Yiyang and Liandao, which were farther away, so he was afraid that he would miss the time of the division, so he urged the army to speed up the march, strengthen the vigilance on the marching route, and rush to Changsha as soon as possible.
As soon as he was not far from Xiangnan, he saw a group of people coming from the opposite side, Zhao Fan was vigilant, and heard the other party shouting in battle, and someone in the front army replied: "Yes, Zhao Taishou is here, who are you?" ”
The man on the other side said in a loud voice: "Huang Zhong, the governor of Changsha, is here, and he is here, on the orders of Han Taishou, and he is here to welcome Zhao Taishou." ”
Zhao Fan had been to Changsha several times before, and he still knew Changsha officials such as Captain Huang Zhong, and he could hear Huang Zhong's name on the newspaper of the leading generals opposite, but unfortunately his eyes were not good, and he couldn't see it from such a distance, and he didn't decide whether the person who came was Huang Zhong, so he rode to the front of the battle and took a closer look. After a stone's throw away, Zhao Fan finally saw clearly, sure enough, it was Huang Zhong, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, since Han Xuanneng sent Huang Zhong here to greet him, it showed that the situation in Changsha was far less sinister than he imagined. It's a pity that he didn't know that Huang Zhong had already turned against Han Xuan and took refuge in Liu Ze.
"It turned out to be Huang Duwei, rude and rude, I don't know how the battle is going in Changsha?" Zhao Fan knew that Huang Zhong was an acquaintance, and asked completely unprepared.
Huang Zhong had already ordered his subordinates to prepare their weapons and attack at any time. While riding forward. The distance from Zhao Fan was a little closer. "Although Liu Ze's army has attacked the city of Changsha, but the city of Changsha is strong, how can Liu Jun break it, but after a few battles, Liu Jun returned in vain, and now the troops are in the north of Changsha City, and it is not enough to think about it. It is rare that Zhao Taishou came to the rescue from afar, and Han Taishou came to greet him with a special order, and asked Zhao Taishou to go to Changsha with me to meet Han Taishou to discuss the plan. ”
Zhao Fan readily agreed, without the slightest suspicion of Huang Zhong, who was getting closer and closer. Instead, he smiled and said, "Han Taishou is too polite." also ordered Huang Duwei to go out of the city for hundreds of miles to greet him, which flattered Zhao. ”
Huang Zhong laughed and said: "Zhao Taishou has come from a long distance without tireless, a little etiquette is nothing, Han Taishou said before leaving." Thank you Mrs. Zhao for your help. The people of Changsha are grateful! Huang Zhong was talking politely to Zhao Fan. While secretly ordering several generals around him to prepare for a surprise attack.
Zhao Fan was completely unprepared, he didn't realize the danger at all, Huang Zhong was the number one general under Han Xuan. In Zhao Fan's psychology, Huang Zhong was deeply valued by Han Xuan, and it seemed that it was impossible to defect to the enemy at all, and the details that should have aroused his vigilance, such as Huang Zhong riding a rare BMW horse in the south of the Yangtze River, the current enemy, Huang Zhong did not meet the enemy in Changsha but went to Xiangnan County, a hundred miles away, and so on, did not attract enough attention, but talked and laughed with the left and right. "Han Taishou is really a friend, it's ridiculous that Jin Xuan and Liu Du often spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, it seems that the first contribution of this savior Changsha is none other than my Guiyang."
Only two horses away from Zhao Fan, Huang Zhong suddenly clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and shouted in a low voice: "Drive!" The sweaty horse was in pain, and the four hooves were like clouds, and they slammed into Zhao Fan like arrows from the string. At the same time, the big knife in his hand swung round, and his arms exerted force, and he slashed at Zhao Fan's head.
Zhao Fan was stunned at that time, his eyes were straight, and his mind was confused, obviously Zhao Fan didn't expect Huang Zhong to suddenly attack, and at the same time, the lack of adaptability made Zhao Fan at a loss, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all. Said it was late, it was fast, the speed of the sweaty BMW was really not covered, and between the lightning and flint, Zhao Fan's head was already rolling to the ground in blood.
Even Huang Zhong was a little surprised, the sprint speed of this sweaty horse is simply incomparable, too sharp, it is really domineering, sometimes the victory and defeat on the battlefield are only between millimeters, and the sweaty BMW with super speed is undoubtedly a magic weapon for winning on the battlefield.
Huang Zhong waved the big knife, the blood on the knife dripped to the ground, and he shouted: "Kill-"
Huang Zhong's subordinates, who had long been ready to stop, were descending the mountain like tigers at this moment, and frantically rushed towards the unprepared Guiyang army, the total number of these soldiers and personnel may not be two thousand, but they were all nine dead and crawled out of the pile of dead, both in terms of combat experience and level far surpassed the Guiyang army. The Guiyang army lost its main general under surprise, and before it understood what was going on, it was attacked by the other party.
Huang Zhong led the army to take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, beheading countless people, and the Guiyang army was overwhelmed and almost suffered a catastrophe. Huang Zhong killed Zhao Fan in southern Hunan and annihilated the Guiyang army, and learned from the mouth of the surrendered troops that Zhao Fan almost poured out of the nest this time, taking away nearly ninety percent of Guiyang's army, and now the defenders of Guiyang are less than a thousand people, which is equivalent to an empty city. Huang Zhong was eager to take credit, and taking a county town was more meritorious than cutting off a Taishou, so he immediately led his army south to kill Guiyang.
When he was killed under the city of Guiyang, Huang Zhong concocted the same method, opened the city gate with Guiyang's troops, and took Guiyang County almost bloodlessly.
When Huang Zhong won a great victory in southern Hunan, Guan Hai Mengtan also led his troops to Yiyang, and Jin Xuan's men and horses fought an encounter, this time it was most of the troops of the First Cavalry Division and an infantry brigade, a total of more than 6,000 people, and Jin Xuan although the soldiers were only 5,000, in terms of quantity is still insufficient, and the quality can not be mentioned, the terrifying archers brought Jin Xuan is a nightmare that he does not want to remember in this life.
After the fiasco in Yiyang, Jin Xuan led the few remaining soldiers and horses to flee back to Wuling. But when he arrived at Wuling City, the city gate was closed, and seeing that the pursuers were behind him, Jin Xuan was so anxious that he ordered someone to smash the city gate.
At this time, Gongcao Gongzhi appeared in the city tower, pointing at Jin Xuan and scolded: "King Jing is the uncle of the Han Emperor, benevolence and righteousness are spread in the world, you don't know the time, you disobey the sky, and want to let the people of Wuling be martyred for you, but you are disloyal and unjust, and you will bring about your own destruction, and you have already led the people in the city to surrender to King Jing." ”
Jin Xuan was furious, ordered the soldiers to attack the city quickly, Gong Zhi released arrows on the city, under the random arrows, Jin Xuan was shot into a hedgehog, and the rest fled in all directions.
Gong Zhi ordered people to cut off the head of Jin Xuan, opened the city gate, and waited for Guan Hai's army to enter the city, and presented the head of Jin Xuan. (To be continued......)
