Chapter 21: The Tall and Handsome Drum Goes to Zizhou (4)
(The biggest impact of the Olympics on me is that I usually don't watch TV, but now I want to sit in front of the TV every day and make it difficult to watch any game, last night it was the women's volleyball team and women's football team, tonight it is the men's basketball team, so I have to stay up late every day······)
The high-ranking generals densely surrounded these people up and down the mountain, but did not attack, and the flag official immediately stepped forward and shouted:
"You are loyal and brave soldiers of the imperial court, and you have repeatedly made military exploits with Taiwei Wei and have been treated well by the imperial court, why did you follow Liu Pi to rebel? Put down your weapons and spare you if you don't die! ”
The original pride in the hearts of many soldiers of the Xichuan Army turned into shame in a few words, and looking at the contempt in the eyes of the soldiers who surrounded themselves with weapons and wore * military uniforms with their own hands, they realized that they were no longer officers and soldiers, but had become thieves. This kind of look has also been revealed in their eyes, it is to the bandits, to the Tibetans••••••
I don't know who took the lead in throwing the weapons on the ground with a "bang", and then one after another, the soldiers of the Xichuan Army gave up resistance in frustration and knelt on the ground, which was something that the Xichuan Army had never had, and everyone had an indescribable humiliation in their hearts, and some even cried.
Gao Chongwen did not embarrass them, but just ordered them to be gathered together and temporarily detained in the grain camp, and ordered Li Yuanyi to lead a thousand cavalry to pursue Xing Jun alternately.
Facing Gao Xiayu's dissatisfied gaze, Gao Chongwen said calmly:
"Li Dingjin must be in a hurry, let's take a look."
Under the city of Zizhou, Li Dingjin has repelled the opponent's three attacks, countless soldiers wearing * military uniforms stained the battlefield with blood, Li Dingjin's face is covered with blood, and he stands with a long knife in his hand, like a celestial man. Li Dingjin looked at the defeated figure of the Xichuan army, and did not chase and kill, and looked up to the sky and shouted:
"I'm the Tang Changwu Army—"
The soldiers shouted in unison:
"Mighty!"
Li Dingjin shouted again:
"Kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief!"
The chanting of the soldiers on the opposite side made the soldiers of the Xichuan Army feel uncomfortable, and it seemed that this slogan should be shouted by themselves. The guards at the head of the city were also frustrated, but they were professional soldiers anyway, and they reacted immediately:
"Straight lady thief, what are you howling, Lao Tzu's soldiers are still there! I'm not afraid that Lao Tzu will suddenly kill him. ”
Then the guard saw that the other party suddenly lit the torches, and then many soldiers were tearing down the fence with their hands and feet, and were wondering what the other party was going to do, when suddenly a spirit shouted:
"Mingjin!"
But it was too late, and the defenders on the opposite side of Li Dingjin dispersed immediately after tearing down the fence, and by the reflection of the firelight, the guard's pupils shrank sharply, for he saw—
Cavalry!
Hundreds of horsemen armed with long lances, without making a sound, as if they had suddenly floated out of the night, did not shout, but only urged their horses forward, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and for a moment dominated the night sky. With only one charge, it was killed in front of the Xichuan army, and at this time, the Xichuan army had not been able to make any response.
The guards at the head of the city closed their eyes in despair.
Not long after, the battle under the city has ended, the soldiers under the city under the cover of the defenders of the city, some of them still managed to escape back to the city, in addition, either death or surrender, the general who had just agitated morale was also captured, Li Dingjin originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rush to the city, but was repelled by the random arrows in the city, he was hit by several arrows, and he was so angry that he scolded the guards and rats, and wanted to fight with the other party for three hundred rounds, and the answer to him was naturally a rain of arrows. At this time, Ming Jin in the camp withdrew his troops, and Li Dingjin had no choice but to point to the city and shout:
"Rats, tomorrow grandpa will take your head!"
At dawn, Xing Jun finally retreated to the city with more than a thousand remnants. To say that Xing Jun is really a bit of a bachelor, he took the lead in escaping during the war, but when he returned to the city, he insisted on breaking off, and he did not enter until the last soldier entered the city, which made the soldiers even more annoyed while grateful. However, history proves that there are some things that cannot be said nonsense, and Xing Jun was just about to enter the city when he heard someone shouting in the distance:
"The general is waiting for us!"
You will see three or five defeated soldiers running with the voice, just when Xing Zhu waited for two sets, Li Yuanyi's cavalry chased after him, Xing Zhu just wanted to enter the city, the guard pulled up the drawbridge, so angry that Xing Zhu didn't even have time to scold, and ran from the east gate to the south gate with a dozen personal soldiers.
Xing Zhu ran in front, and Li Yuanyi chased behind. Xing Jun was tired all night with his men and horses, but Li Yuanyi's men and horses were in good spirits, and when he turned around, he saw Li Yuanyi chasing closer and closer. was so anxious that Xing Jun was about to cry. Riding archery is a very high-tech job, people ride on horses, the ground is uneven, bumps up and down, riding on a horse to shoot arrows is basically difficult, like Yan Qin shot an arrow to kill the Sword Pavilion guards, it is tantamount to now randomly playing a lottery ticket to win seventy or eighty million. Good luck doesn't always appear, so most of the arrows sent by Li Yuanyi and his subordinates have done useless work, but they still caused huge psychological pressure on Xing Jun, after all, the arrows are getting denser and denser, and the people around him are getting more and more sparse. Therefore, Xing Jun's escape was basically close to the city wall, hoping to get help from the city.
But things are obviously too sudden, no one in the defenders in Zizhou City expected that General Xing Jun, who was full of ambition to go out of the city last night, would have Yaxing to go around the city early in the morning after the fiasco, and after several battles last night, the handsome and merry General Xing Jun had already been unrecognizable, although the soldiers recognized their own generals from the color of their clothes, but when they reacted, the people who ran and the people who chased had already run over, and they couldn't help if they wanted to help. Xing Jun, who realized his situation, was so anxious that he had to shout while running:
"Hurry up and release the arrows, I'm General Xing Zhu!"
"Hurry up and open the city, I'm General Xing Jun!"
"Hurry up and release the arrows, hurry up and open the city, •••••••"
Finally, the south gate guard reacted, hurriedly put down the drawbridge, opened the city gate, and under the cover of his own soldiers, Xing Jun finally succeeded in escaping, locked Li Yuanyi outside the south gate of Zizhou, and proudly left a cloud of smoke and dust for Li Yuanyi to enjoy. However, when the city gate was closed, Xing Jun's heart still trembled violently, and his last personal soldier was chopped off his horse by a knife named Li Yuanyi.
"That's my nephew!"
After Xing Jun fled back to the city, he was in shock, rested for a while in the city gate, and then re-mounted his horse, returned to the original Zizhou Thorn History Mansion and Dongchuan Jiedu Embassy Mansion, riding on the horse, Xing Jun thought of his nephew, remembered that the East Gate guard had just almost killed himself, Xing Jun couldn't help but be angry, and said angrily to the flag officer:
"Order the soldiers in the city to gather in front of the Jiedu Embassy Mansion and order Liu Wu's bastard to come to see General Ben!"
"General, General Liu is ••••••"
"What General Liu, isn't it a rogue relative of Liu Dashuai? If the Lord doesn't save him, can't he be killed? Go to herald! ”
"Yes!"
Xing Jun was sitting in the front hall waiting for the soldiers to arrive, but as soon as he came, he saw a person stumbling over in the distance and said:
"General, Liu Wu heard that the general was going to kill him, and he actually sacrificed the city, and he has already sent someone to Gao Chongwen's camp to contact!"
