248, a journey of thousands of miles, a bloody battle (I)

Due to the timely retreat, the black-clothed army withdrew from Shangjing before the two golden armies combined. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info then hurried south without stopping.

After Wei Qingzong walked with the army for a day and a half, he said goodbye to Wu Zheng. The industries he has accumulated over the years are basically in Jinguo, and it makes no sense for him to return to Dahua. Wu Zheng didn't keep it, and as a thank you, Wu Zheng left him a note.

After sending Wu Zheng and the black-clothed army away, Wei Qingzong quietly returned to Shangjing, because of the secrecy of the matter, he did not get into any trouble. One day when he was idle, he suddenly remembered the note left by Wu Zheng and opened it to watch.

"This is ......" Wei Qingzong's eyes couldn't leave the note anymore after reading it, and he saw lines of small characters written on it, and the word "perfume" was marked at the beginning!

"This is the recipe for the perfume? Oh my God! Wei Qingzong exclaimed, he is a businessman, how come he has never heard of the name of perfume! Before the war, it was already hard to find, but now after many years of war, perfume has long been extinct, and the one-of-a-kind black market left behind earlier cannot be bought for thousands of dollars! Now he's got the formula! It's like getting a gold mine!

In addition to being excited, he remembered Wu Zheng's parting words and muttered: "General Wu, don't worry, I will arrange this money properly!"

……

From Shangjing to the border of Jinguo, there are nearly 100 large and small city passes, although the number is large, but the soldiers and horses guarding them are less than one-third of the original, and they are basically not elite soldiers. The reason for this is that in order to fully capture the newly established Nanhua Imperial Court, the Jin State has drawn elite soldiers and strong generals from all over the country, which has led to the current situation.

Even so, the road to the south of the black-clothed army was still difficult, and Wu Zheng was exhausted in every city pass and every battle. Infiltration, Infiltration, Rebellion, Assassination...... All kinds of strategies and tactics emerge one after another, and everything is used! One city pass after another was conquered, and one after another vicious battles were won, Wu Zheng paid great effort, in order to deal with all kinds of problems and dilemmas, he almost couldn't sleep all night, feeling as if he had been hollowed out.

Ding Yueming and Zhao Qiao'er saw it in their eyes and were anxious, but they couldn't help anything. The second daughter had to try her best to take care of Wu Zheng's diet and daily life, and she didn't dare to let Wu Zheng know about some trivial things at will, so as not to make him distracted and tired.

Three months later, the black-clothed army finally came a long way and settled down outside Taiyuan City. At this time, in the makeshift tent, Wu Zheng and other generals were listening to the quartermaster's report.

"General Hui, our army now has a total of 3,772 soldiers, of which 504 are wounded...... Grain and grass are quite abundant, and the last time we attacked the Jin soldiers' cantonment of grain, we got 300 stones, which was enough for us to eat for a month. However, there are less than five hundred war horses now, and the golden dog seems to know that we are short of war horses, so we basically killed all the horses when we fled......"

“…… What about weapons? ”

"Only three out of ten artillery pieces remained, and only twenty shells remained...... The loss of firearms is also very serious, less than 300 of the 500 guns can be used normally, and gunpowder is also very scarce...... The subordinates estimated that one more battle would be almost exhausted. ”

"......" Wu Zheng looked at the other battle report in his hand, which was the emergency military information that the scout in front exchanged for his life.

The third son of Jin Taizu, who was ordered to go south, the right deputy marshal Wanyan Zongfu got the flying pigeon to pass the book, and he had led 50,000 elite soldiers to return north quickly, and there were still about ten days away from Taiyuan City. This is definitely very bad news, Taiyuan City was originally an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, if you add the 50,000 elite soldiers of Wanyan Zongfu, this battle really doesn't need to be fought!

We must rush to take down Taiyuan City before Wanyan Zongfu!

……

Han Qingze, the defender of Taiyuan City, stood at the head of the city, frowning and staring at the cavalry team of more than five hundred people under the city. Judging from the report, the other party was a small group of deserters who had been defeated in the battle with the black-clothed army, their armor was tattered, and they seemed to be wounded, looking dusty and tired.

This is not unusual, the black-clothed army swept through the entire north like a black whirlwind, almost to the point of winning a hundred battles! There are countless golden soldiers who have been broken up, so it is normal for a deserter to appear here.

Below the city, the leader of the cavalry was a young man of about twenty years old, wearing a tattered helmet that covered half of his face. Because he was impatient to wait, he was scolding in Jurchen language. When the other party was tired of scolding, Han Qingze shouted: "This Shuhu general, the minister is also the duty, the black-clothed army sneaked up on the capital and disturbed the saint, and now it is going south and breaking several cities in a row!" There is news that he is now near Taiyuan City, and the minister has to guard against it...... If the general wants to enter the city, please take off his helmet and let the minister verify his body before he dares to open the city! ”

The young man named Shuhu did not hesitate, immediately took off his helmet, and scolded: "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, after the inspection, let Lao Tzu enter the city quickly!" Lao Tzu's brothers are dying of hunger, you give us good wine and meat! Han Qingze responded again and again, his eyes locked on Shuhu's face. After a stick of incense, in Han Qingze's accusation, the city gate slowly opened.

Shuhu suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, his face was as usual, and he rushed towards the Taiyuan City Gate with his subordinates.

At the head of the city, Han Qingze straightened up, and a sneer gradually appeared on his face. In his hand held a vivid portrait of the young man, the painting of the young man was angular, his face was solemn, his eyes flashed with tenacity, and under the portrait was written: "The head of the thief in black, the image of Wu Zheng!" ”

And under the city, behind the two open gates, there were countless soldiers hiding densely, some of them were armed with swords and shields, some were armed with bows and crossbows, and some were carrying huge fishing nets in both hands...... They were ordered to capture Wu Zheng alive!

While running, Wu Zheng squinted his eyes and looked in from the city gate, there were empty blocks inside, and it seemed that everything was normal, but where did that murderous aura come from? He made a gesture to the soldiers behind him to prepare for battle, and when he was still a dozen steps away from the city gate, Wu Zheng jumped up from his horse, and the war horse rushed into the city gate alone.

"Catch Wu Zheng!"

"Don't let him run!"

The shouts rang out suddenly, and the tense soldiers saw a dark shadow rushing in, and they rushed out in a hurry before they could tell if there was anyone or not. The sound of brushing sounded, and the war horse fell to the ground with a grieving cry, and its body was full of arrows. When everyone found that there was no one on the war horse, someone behind them shouted: "Wu Zheng is here!" ”

A young man dressed in a golden soldier costume carried a steel knife upside down in his right hand and a small round iron shield in his left hand, and walked towards the city gate step by step! And behind him were more than 500 cavalrymen, who rushed fiercely with this billowing of dust! At this moment, it was too late to close the city gate, and in a hurry, the Taiyuan defenders formed a human shield defense line at the city gate, trying to stop the attack of the black-clothed army.

Bang Bang Bang!

The defenders in the front row fell to the ground with the sound of popping beans, followed by the roar of the horses, their raised hooves shattering the defenders' shields and breaking their sternums. Under the bloody knives of the black-clothed army, the defenders were cut down one by one, and the blood lines flying in the air splashed all over people's faces!

When Han Qingze saw such a scene in the city, he almost collapsed in fright, and he shouted in horror: "Close the city gate quickly!" He never dreamed that he had planned to catch turtles in an urn, but now it has become a wolf lure! It's a pity that the city gate has been completely controlled by the black-clothed army, Wu Zheng left 300 people to guard the city gate to meet the follow-up troops, and he took the rest of the people all the way to the city, and captured Han Qingze, who was cowering on the city.

Two hours later, the battle ended, and Taiyuan City was taken by the black-clothed army!
