Xiang, said in a loud voice: "Isn't a certain family tired of soldiers, but you don't know, that Jiangzhou is the mouth of the rivers and lakes, and it is the place where Wu Chu throats, and Zhong Yangui knows the inside of the Zhennan Army very well, if he does not extinguish it quickly, and when it leads foreign enemies into the army, the general trend will go." Although my soldiers are tired, but they can also take turns to rest, the defenders in the village are alone, more tired than our army, as long as our army attacks overnight, the dawn will definitely be able to take down this village, let the water army enter the river, that will become the turtle in the urn, and advise the general Zuo nodded, but as if there was still some worry, stepped forward and said: "Although what the palm book said is reasonable, after our army arrived, even the camp was not set up, so it attacked the city overnight. More than 10,000 hedgehogs gathered in one place, and the sky was unclear, if the enemy army had reinforcements to arrive, I was afraid that it would collapse. Zhong Yangui has been in business for a long time, and he has many tricks, so he can't help but guard against it! ”

Chen Xiang snorted coldly, but before he could answer, a soldier beside him sneered: "Although Zhong Yangui has a bit of trickery, he can be in Chen Zhangshu, but he is just like a child. The palm book has already been laid out in the city, Zhong Yangui's every move, the palm book is already in the palm of his hand, why wait here to worry in vain? ”

When the admonishing general heard this, he hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something more, but his colleagues on the side quickly pulled his sleeve and shook his head gently. It turns out that the law in the army is strict, and the upper and lower classes are clearly distinguished, Chen Xiang looks arbitrary in this trip, if he is entangled and annoys the other party, a crime of frustrating the military will not be able to escape.

Chen Xiang's heart was full of self-satisfaction at this time, he had previously pursued Zhong Yangui, and did not immediately attack Jiangzhou, which was fortified, but returned to Hongzhou, while leading the large army to Jiangzhou, and on the other hand, he sent a fine work to contact the generals and soldiers loyal to Zhong Kuangshi in Jiangzhou City. Although Zhong Yangui has a great prestige in the army, after all, Zhong Kuangshi is Zhong Chuan's son-in-law, and it is much more reasonable to inherit the throne than Zhong Yangui from the perspective of etiquette. Chen Xiang was tempted by generous gifts, and soon obtained quite a lot of fine work in Jiangzhou City, and it was an exaggeration to say that he joined the army, but Zhong Yangui wanted to make any big moves to hide his eyes, but it was even more difficult, just at this time, there was a loud noise from the Nanhuzui village in the distance, but under the onslaught of the Zhennan army, a section of the wall west of the village was finally knocked down, and the attacker and the defender shouted at the same time, and they became one, the only difference is that one side is ecstasy, and the other side is despair.

"Congratulations to Zhangshu!"

"The Zhangshu Temple is like a god!"

Seeing that victory was within reach, the generals on the hill hurriedly took the lead to congratulate, seeing that this person was already the first celebrity under the rear, if he didn't slap the horse hard at this time, wouldn't it be in vain to go this way. However, the generals also have a little admiration in their hearts, after all, taking this critical place, the naval army can enter the river, and they have already grabbed most of the victory opportunities, like this overnight onslaught, it is not something that ordinary people can do, the martial artists are the most realistic, and it makes sense to win.

Chen Xiang was praised by everyone's rhetoric quite smoky, but fortunately he had not completely lost his mind, and said with a smile: "This victory, relying on the Hongfu of the Queen, and relying on the soldiers to use their lives, a certain family is just a coincidence, and the Chen Mou mentioned by the rank is really deserved!" But after all, his disguise was not enough, and his face was full of smugness, where did he look ashamed.

When everyone on the mound was triumphant, and when the words were flying, a group of people and horses appeared on the high ground to the west of the battlefield, which was Zhong Yangui and his party. He set out from Jiangzhou at the second watch, all the way to the gallop, only a few generals heard the sound of drums, led his own soldiers to follow, when there were still two miles away from Nanhuzuizhai, there were about 600 infantry, 300 cavalry, Zhong Yangui ordered the sergeants to dismount and rest for half an hour, feed the mounts, slowly approach the battlefield, and prepare to surprise the enemy.

On the high ground, Zhong Yangui quietly looked at the situation on the battlefield not far away, although it was still four watches, and it was impossible to accurately judge the number of enemy troops, but relying on his many years of experience in battles, it could be inferred from the size of the opponent's army formation that the number of enemy troops was about 10,000, not including the number of naval troops, and the number of this number was very amazing.

The general next to Zhong Yangui saw that the main general was silent, and said in a low voice: "General, let's rush, it's almost dawn, and we don't have many opportunities!" ”

Zhong Yangui nodded and said in a low voice: "I personally led the cavalry to charge, and you led the rest of the infantry to light torches and make loud noises, but don't rush to attack, wait until the enemy army is chaotic and slowly advance, you know?" ”

"The last general commands!" After saluting, he quickly retreated to the back and prepared, Zhong Yangui turned around, and the cavalry had already jumped on their horses and approached one after another, forming a triangle with Zhong Yangui as an arrow. In the dim starlight, Zhong Yangui could only see the faces of the nearest few people. He opened his lips, but didn't say anything. Finally, he lifted the lance and said in a loud voice: "Get on the horse, light the fire, target" The lance in his hand slashed down violently, and the tip of the lance turned out to be the fire-lit hill in the distance - where the flag of the Zhennan Army Marshal was located.

Nanhuzui Village, although the torches and lanterns listed by the attacking side illuminate the battlefield as if it were daytime, but the western section of the collapsed barrier, smoke and dust, the attacking side's soldiers were blocked by the smoke and dust, unable to see, couldn't help but subconsciously take a few steps back, waiting for the splashed smoke and dust to fall, and then launched the final onslaught, the core area of this battlefield calmed down for a while, and thousands of heavy breaths converged into one, like a beast's lair.

"Hurry up and push the firewood cart over and plug the gap, or everyone will escape to death!" The guards in the village had red eyes, and urged the guards loudly, wanting to plug the gap with firewood bundles, but the soldiers who had been fighting hard for half the night were extremely tired and slow, and even some people fell to the ground when carrying the firewood bundles, and passed out of force, seeing that the smoke and dust at the gap had gradually landed, and the metal flash of the spear tip of the Zhennan sergeant could be seen faintly, but the gap of the firewood bundle was only more than two feet high, and it could be jumped over, and the guard couldn't help but turn around and bow to the direction of Xunyang City, and exclaimed sadly: "Thorn history, thorn history!" I'm worthy of you with big eyes, and this head is lost here today! With that, he took his knife and walked towards the gap. The dozen or so remaining cronies behind him also followed, and even the wounded soldiers who were on the ground picked up the stumps and stones beside them, ready to make a final fight. It turned out that the ancient battle was more tragic than the siege of the city, they only used the cover of the barrier, the killing and wounding of the enemy soldiers are not only several times their own, once the city is broken, the attacker will inevitably use *** to retaliate, rather than waiting to be killed, it is better to get a cushion.

Yu Dayan held a big shield and a horizontal knife in his hand, standing behind the bundle of firewood, and the rest of the guards lined up in three horizontal columns with him as the center, which was almost all the soldiers in the village who could still fight. At this time, the battle on the rest of the walled wall also subsided. The idea of the attacker is very simple, since the gap has been opened, instead of climbing the wall in the dark, it is better to attack the enemy army, and the flesh and blood are easier to destroy than the bricks and stones. With the sound of heavy war drums, with the help of the firelight shining from the opposite side, Yu Dayan could even see the cruel smile on the face of the Zhennan sergeant on the opposite side, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”

The sparse arrows entered the ranks of the attacking side, and there were many gaps in the ranks of the Zhennan army, but they were quickly filled, and the defenders did not wait for the big eyes to give the order, so they dropped their bows and crossbows, and the remaining distance was too close for them to shoot another arrow. At this moment, there was a shout of killing from the rear of the Zhennan army, which was very vague at first, but like the tide of the sea, it soon became bigger and clearer.

"Kill the thief! Wansheng! Zhong Yangui shouted loudly, holding an iron shovel in his left hand and a half-cut mallet about four feet long in his right hand, which broke shortly after charging into the enemy line. In front of his horse, a group of tired Zhennan soldiers scurried around like frightened sheep, trampling on each other. Zhong Yangui consciously drove them to flee to the side of the hill, and these chaotic defeated soldiers not only disrupted their own formation, but also spread the mood of panic and defeat like a plague, which made the formation of friendly troops that had not yet been attacked begin to loosen.

On the top of the hill, the optimistic atmosphere of victory at hand, long gone, and everyone's face was inexplicable and frightened.

"This can't be, this can't be! There is my internal response in Xunyang City, and they all sent news that Zhong Yangui has returned to his house to rest, and the generals have also returned to the camp! That's impossible! Chen Xiang shouted frantically, at this time he was wearing a cloak, the beam crown on his head had long since disappeared, he behaved at this time like a gambler who thought he had won but suddenly found that he had lost all his capital, desperate and panicked, completely forgetting that he was still the commander of the first army and had the responsibility of commanding the whole army.

The general on the side couldn't see it, and stepped forward to advise: "Zhangshu, the most important thing at the moment is to repel the enemy soldiers, as for who will stay until dawn, it will naturally understand." The last general is willing to lead his own troops out and repel the enemy army! ”

Another general disagreed, objecting: "If it is dark today, and you don't even know where the enemy army is coming from or how many people there are, it is easy for you to lead the troops out into chaos and kill each other with your own side." It is better to let the tribes strictly guard their own positions, and if there is a disorder, they will shoot with a strong crossbow, this is the way to resist the enemy! ”

"If there is a battalion to defend it, it can be dealt with like this, but now the army does not even have a foothold, the hedgehogs are gathered into a group, and the defeated soldiers are in chaos as soon as they rush, how to strictly defend their own positions? You are the way to destruction! ”

Hearing the generals arguing around him, Chen Xiang only felt a splitting headache, he had never felt so weak, these people who were still flattering him a moment ago were now full of disdain for themselves, these generals seemed to be the boss of their own no longer existed, and they were arguing about how to deal with the surprise attack, and they were almost about to fight. A thought suddenly flashed in Chen Xiang's mind, it would be great if the general of the unified army was not himself this time!

"Look, what's on the high ground over there!" A shout alerted the generals who were arguing on the hill, and following the direction of the man's finger who had just spoken, everyone looked over, and saw that the high ground not far away was full of large torches, and I was afraid that there were not five or six thousand people, and with the sound of drums, those torches were moving forward slowly, and it was obvious that it was only the vanguard of the enemy army that had just attacked them, and now most of the enemy troops had arrived and began to attack in a big way.

"What should I do?" Chen Xiang's mind suddenly became a mess, could it be that those spies in Xunyang City were just some rebellions, deliberately sending false information to himself, and the reinforcements of the Huainan Army had already arrived, deliberately luring him to attack overnight, and then raid again when his soldiers were exhausted. He looked at his generals in fear, but he was desperate to find that the people who were still talking were now silent one by one, avoiding the inquiring eyes of the manager, and it was obvious that they had no way to deal with the current situation.

Just when Chen Xiang was at a loss, there was a shouting sound from under the hill, it turned out that the cavalry led by Zhong Yangui had already killed under the hillock, only to see Zhong Yangui wielding an iron mace in his left hand, and holding a spear in his right hand that he had taken from nowhere. ”

All this is like the last straw that overwhelms the camel, Chen Xiang finally can't bear it anymore, in the endless darkness in the distance, there seem to be countless demons with teeth and claws, are rushing towards him, he jumped on the war horse frantically, and shouted loudly: "Withdraw, we withdraw, the generals will stay behind, and the staff will retreat with me first!" So saying, he struck his horse and fled south.

Chen Xiang's escape was like the hub of the huge machine of the Zhennan Army, and the various troops seemed to have been stripped of the muscles of the skeleton and collapsed. The soldiers of the brigade, who were still fighting hard just now, began to drop their weapons, unbuckle their armor, and flee with all their might. One flag after another was thrown to the ground, and countless feet trampled over these pennants that were still floating in the wind just a moment ago, stepping them deep into the mud, not to mention the wounded soldiers and baggage. Even if there were a small number of battalions that wanted to maintain order, the only fate in the face of the rout that collapsed like a tidal wave was to be swallowed up.

At dawn, the sun's rays were refracted from below the horizon, revealing a line of fish belly white on the horizon, Zhong Yangui stood on the hill that was the command post of the Zhennan Army not long ago, looking at the battlefield. With the help of the glimmer of dawn, you can vaguely see that the battlefield under your feet is full of the corpses of the Zhennan army and abandoned baggage materials, which stretches far to the south. It's like the beach after a storm, when the tide sweeps by, leaving countless discards on the beach.

At this time, there was a hissing sound behind him, Zhong Yangui turned around, his cold eyes softened, it turned out that his mount came over, and this loyal beast approached his master, and began to use his soft tongue to *** the master's right hand. Zhong Yangui stroked the mane of the mount lovingly, untied a cowhide bag from his waist, took out his own dry food from it, broke a piece and sent it to the horse's mouth, and the mount immediately ate it, apparently after a hard fight last night, the beast was also hungry. Zhong Yangui smiled, took out all the cakes in the bag, broke them one by one and put them on the ground, he stood up, and suddenly found that there was a long cut on the buttocks of the mount, dripping with blood, and he didn't know when he was scratched. He looked left and right, suddenly sneered, walked to the side quickly, and picked up a big flag, it was the commander of the Zhennan Army Jiangzhou to recruit the envoy, the Zhennan Army left behind the mansion to hold the handsome flag of Chen Xiang, at this time this prominent banner was abandoned on the ground, no different from other corpses and baggage.

Zhong Yangui tore the pennant to pieces, chose two pieces that looked relatively clean, returned to the mount's side, and carefully bandaged the wounds of the mount. After bandaging, Zhong Yangui stepped aside, looked at the big flag wrapped around the horse's buttocks, and sneered contemptuously.

An adjutant general ran over and said in a loud voice: "General, the guard of Nanhuzui Village is still there, but the enemy general Chen Xiang has fled, this guy is very awake, the first one to run, it's a pity, otherwise he must be skinned and torn apart if he is caught, and he will suffer before he dies!" ”

Zhong Yangui turned around and said with a smile: "It's good that the big eyes are still there, if he hadn't been stubbornly defending the small village this time and making the thief army extremely exhausted, we wouldn't have won so easily, but it's not a pity, it's good to leave a gutless bandit like Chen Xiang to stay with Zhong Kuangshi to continue to plague people, and I'm afraid that he will escape to the edge of the sky?" ”

Chapter 519: Marriage

Hearing Zhong Yangui's confident words, the subordinate generals let out a burst of laughter of approval, and the mounts on the side who were licking the broken cakes on the ground seemed to be infected by the laughter of everyone, no
