Chapter 179: Qingzhou plotted rebellion
Nanyang County, Cheongju City.
It's not a big city, but it's solid.
The city is too big to defend, and the small city is often more able to arrange the defensive force reasonably and give full play to the power of the formation.
Qingzhou Castle and Iwakura Castle were both built more than 3,000 years ago by the Thousand Deaths of the Taboo Department, located on the dragon veins of the earth, absorbing the essence of the earth's qi, and its solidity can be imagined.
It can be seen from the fact that Su Mengzhen, the male lord of the generation, has not attacked Qingzhou City head-on for twenty years.
Deng Zhenggao, the hall master of Qingzhou Palace, sat on the official hat chair and tapped the jade inkstone lightly, revealing a smug expression.
He remembered the interview a few days ago.
In addition to Su Can, that person also agreed to cooperate.
What a great opportunity.
Deng Zheng thought happily.
Of course, after the matter was completed, Su Can, that person, and even Deng Aihou Deng Sanshi's father and son in the Iwakura Hall were all the targets of his eradication.
The temple is now facing a great crisis. But this crisis is a great opportunity for him Qingzhou.
As long as you can grasp the opportunity and take advantage of the situation, the entire western Henan is in the bag of the Qingzhou Palace.
Deng Zheng became more and more excited, and couldn't help but get up from his chair and paced back and forth in the room.
Plan...... It's perfect, yes, foolproof!
Deng Zheng quickly summoned the generals under his command.
"Preparations are in full swing!" Deng Zheng waved his hand suddenly: "Revive Qingzhou, in one fell swoop!"
......
"Qingzhou Hall openly raised the flag and plotted rebellion. Elder Fan reported: "According to them, it is to restore the leadership of our shrine. ”
"Really?" Wu Feng said casually: "This Deng Zheng is very bold. ”
Elder Fan continued, "The Qingzhou rebels attacked fiercely and captured several dock forts. Most of the surrounding wealthy clan leaders took a wait-and-see attitude. ”
The temple itself is separated from the Qingzhou Palace, and it belongs to the lower Keshang, but it is not complete, and the Qingzhou Hall has always survived.
In the past, he relied on Su Mengzhen's prestige to suppress Qingzhou and make it succumb. Now that Wu Feng is not in the public's expectations, the influence of Qingzhou Hall is reflected.
"Then let's go on a crusade. Wu Feng waved his hand leisurely.
"Hall Master, don't take it lightly!" Elder Fan said, "With only the personal guards of the main hall, facing the rebels is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg!"
"The soldiers are fast. Wu Feng responded: "If you don't crusade in time, I'm afraid that more Hao clans will respond to the Qingzhou rebels." If the Qingzhou Hall and the stepfather and son of the Mountain Sect who took refuge in Shenxiao were connected, it would be troublesome. ”
The implication is that Qingzhou is not a trouble at all.
Elder Fan exclaimed, "Hall Master, aren't you going to recruit troops from the territory?"
The rebellion of the Qingzhou Palace was to collect troops around the small Qingzhou City, subduing and recruiting the surrounding dock forts like a snowball, and the combat method was more flexible.
In addition, it has been planned for a long time, and the mobilization is also very fast.
In order for Wu Feng to quell the rebellion with a larger force, he needed to recruit and gather the Hao clan troops scattered in the various dock forts first.
Wu Feng smiled slightly: "Now the territory is unstable, and the conscription is just to increase the riots." ”
He patted Elder Fan on the shoulder: "If the troops are not enough, wouldn't it be enough to let Su Can bring his personal guards as well?"
Elder Fan stroked his beard and groaned.
"Considering the relationship between the Qingzhou Hall and our God Hall, it is not appropriate to announce the rebellion of the Qingzhou Palace, and conscription may not be the best policy. ”
"It's just that Su Can's son and the hall master ......"
Elder Fan was considering his words, and Wu Feng waved his hand impatiently: "I have made up my mind, I don't need to say much, let's go down." ”
Elder Fan had no choice but to retreat.
Wu Feng looked at the sky and said to himself, "Su Can, you guy, huh...... Don't let me down......"
Three days later, at noon, the sun was blazing.
After getting the news that Wu Feng was attacking with the crusading army, Deng Zheng had already assembled his troops and was ready to fight.
The two armies met in a field called Xuanjin.
The number of soldiers in the Qingzhou army exceeded 3,000.
Originally, Qingzhou's mobilization power was only more than 1,000 soldiers, which shows the blow of the defeat of Burning Douzaka to the Shentang, and how many wealthy families have invested in Qingzhou in just a few months.
And the personal guards brought by Wu Feng, counting his own original followers, were less than 1,500 soldiers.
The enemy is outnumbered, and this battle does not look easy to fight.
Deng Zheng rode a high-headed horse, holding a pu fan, pointing at Wu Feng with the fan.
"Wu Feng'er, I don't know how thick the sky is, and I dare to come to attack my Qingzhou. I don't know that Rushentang is a branch of my Qingzhou, and the following grams are on the top, which is a great rebellion. ”
"Now that foreign enemies have invaded the country, nearly half of Nanyang County has fallen, and the land of western Henan is in danger. Only by returning to the leadership of our Qingzhou and calling on all the warriors in the name of righteousness can you expel the foreign invaders and recover the lost territory!"
This man's expression was solemn, and he looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
Wu Feng laughed: "As you said, why don't you revisit the Martial God Sect all day long, and we are all under its command?" The descendants of the Gao Yang Clan are now in Qingzhou City. ”
As soon as these words came out, Deng Zheng was speechless, and his face was red.
If it weren't for the mutual balance between the two halls of Qingzhou Iwakura back then, of course the descendants of the Jibu clan would have directly killed all the descendants of the Gaoyang clan and directly seized the Tianwu Divine Sect.
However, it was precisely because of the mutual checks and balances of the two halls that neither hall could obtain the status of the Heavenly Martial God Sect. Although the descendants of the Gaoyang clan have lost a real power, they are still supported by the Qingzhou Palace.
If it is said that the lower gram is against the upper ranks, Qingzhou itself is the lower gram and the upper ranks, so why should he accuse the gods?
Wu Feng shouted: "Everyone, move forward bravely and destroy the enemy army!"
First, the rumbling of iron cannons disorganized the enemy's forwards, then the cavalry rushed again, trampling the enemy from the left and right flanks, and then the foot soldiers with spears in their hands rushed to the enemy line like a torrent.
The echelons are clear, not chaotic at all, and the cycle repeats, like flowing water.
But Deng Zheng also had one or two brushes in terms of using troops, and under the order, the spearmen formed a rejecting horse formation to the two wings to resist the cavalry, and the front line put down the shield column to resist the impact, and the crossbowmen fired volleys one after another, disrupting the strength of the Shentang army's charge.
This round of transfers is also orderly, although there are a large number of Hao clan troops under his command, but the command is like a finger, and there is no chaos at all.
In order to plot rebellion, Deng Zheng has been planning for a long time, and has accumulated a lot of assets by looting the people, and the equipment of the main force of the Qingzhou Army is not lost to the personal guard troops of Shentang.
And Deng Zheng is fighting at home, and he has the advantage of waiting for work.
The charge of the Shentang Army was gradually blocked, and the sharpness gradually weakened.
Wu Feng knew that the enemy was outnumbered, and the personal guards of the Divine Hall were elite soldiers trained by Su Mengzhen, so they could not be wasted.
Since he could not quickly break the enemy's position, he immediately ordered to withdraw the offensive and switch from attack to defense.
The Shentang army soon formed an iron bucket formation, with long-range firepower in the center, guns and shields to protect the perimeter, and sword soldiers and halberd soldiers mixed in between.
Deng Zheng raised his voice to boost morale, and the Qingzhou army began to attack, charging repeatedly with superior forces.
But in the face of the iron bucket array of the Shentang Army, it seems that the rats are pulling the turtles, and there is nowhere to eat.
Deng Zheng obviously cherished his soldiers and didn't want to have losses, so the charge of the Qingzhou army also seemed weak, although there were no casualties, but there was nothing to do with the Shentang army.
It seems that if the fight continues like this, it can only end in a draw, and it will be an ending to the previous battle of Akatsuka where the mountain sect followed the rebellion of the father and son of Shan Luling.
Wu Feng was by no means satisfied with such a result, since the Qingzhou Hall had plotted rebellion, he should be punished as he deserved.
Deng Zheng couldn't be satisfied, his purpose was to take down Wu Feng in one fell swoop and revive Qingzhou!
"Report!" a knight flew in from behind.
"There were soldiers and horses in the rear of our army, and the number was about a thousand, all of them soldiers. ”
Hearing this, the sergeants and soldiers in the formation changed color.
But the knight then said: "It seems to be the soldiers and horses guarding the mountain city." ”
For a time, the morale of all the soldiers under Wu Feng's command was greatly boosted.
Shoushan City, that is the residence of Lord Su Youguang, the first fierce general of the Divine Hall!
After the battle between Su Youguang and Xuezhai, the dark wound did not heal, so although he was ordered by Su Mengzhen to become a minister, he still rarely participated in the affairs of the temple.
I didn't expect this lord to come over with troops to support!
In this way, it seems that this battle can be won.
Deng Zheng saw Su Youguang's troops appear from afar.
But he smiled a little wickedly.
"Attack!"
Deng Zheng ordered loudly.
The Qingzhou army once again stormed the Shentang army like a tide.
"The enemy has reinforcements arriving, do we have to adjust our tactics?" asked a man with a Chinese face wearing a blue turban.
This person's name is Wang Wumian, the word is Dashan, and he is the deputy hall master of the Qingzhou Palace.
"Not necessarily. Deng Zheng looked mysterious: "What formation do you think Su Youguang's troops are?"
Wang Wumian was taken aback: "Sharp Arrow Formation?"
Deng Zheng said with a smile: "Yes, the front arrow formation is moving towards the rear team of Wu Feng's department, this posture seems to be here for reinforcements?"
Wang Wumian nodded and said, "If it is reinforcements, they should appear from the side and flank our army...... But Su Youguang is Su Mengzhen's husband's trust, and he ......"
Deng Zheng said proudly: "There is nothing impossible in the world, just look at it!"
At this time, the Qingzhou army had already clashed with the Shentang army again.
The offense suddenly became extremely aggressive, and it was no longer the sparse style of play before.
The battle between light and fire, the sound of killing shook the heavens and the earth, and the flesh and blood splashed in the autumn field, with a fishy sweet smell.
For those who indulge in battle, they do not smell blood, only sweetness, tempting and drive them crazy.
The troops led by Su Youguang approached rapidly.
Wu Feng suddenly slammed the flag.
Wu Feng's department, which was forming an iron bucket formation, suddenly received an order to change the formation at this time, and they couldn't help but change color one by one.
Changing formations in such a fierce battle, abandoning the protection of the iron bucket array, can easily cause chaos.
But Wu Feng had already ordered in advance, and if he did not obey the military order, he would be killed!
Wu Feng stared, and a chill suddenly spread around him.
Everyone responded one after another, and the formation of the Shentang army began to spread out to both sides.
In this process, chaos really occurred, the Qingzhou army rushed and slammed into it, and the Shentang athletes fell one after another.
"Damn...... What is the new hall master commanding?"
"Is it possible to mess around like this with reinforcements?"
Someone said angrily.
But Deng Zheng, who had always been accustomed to commanding behind the formation rather than charging ahead, of course he couldn't hear what the Shentang soldiers were complaining about.
He only saw that Wu Feng's formation was in chaos.
"Su Youguang's department and Wu Feng's department came into contact, and Wu Feng's formation fell into chaos......" Deng Zheng stroked his beard and laughed wildly, patting Wang Wumian's shoulder: "Su Youguang has already done it!"
Wang Wumian also flattered: "The hall master is clever!"
But he still wonders how this happened.
At this time, Wu Feng and Bai Junlang were already facing each other.
Wu Feng smiled leisurely and said in public: "Deng Zheng contacted his uncle, and his uncle agreed to him. ”
Bai Junlang said lightly: "That's right. ”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the surrounding temple soldiers changed greatly!
Wu Feng still looked calm: "According to Deng Zheng, I, Wu Feng, am not capable of commanding the Divine Hall, so I want to design to get rid of me, and then give the hall master of the Qingzhou Hall to my uncle or Su Can, so as to realize the unity of the Divine Hall and Qingzhou, so as to unite people's hearts and fight against Shenxiao." ”
And what he Deng Zheng asked for was just to expand his territory a little more. ”
Bai Junlang showed a mouthful of smooth white teeth: "Feng'er, you are right. ”
Wu Feng said again: "Su Can is in charge of mediating the agreement, so my uncle is willing to trust him and cooperate with him, because my uncle feels that I am indeed not enough to lead the Divine Hall." ”
Bai Junlang nodded.
At this point, the temple soldiers who heard this conversation were completely desperate.
Even Lord Su Youguang colluded with Qingzhou!
There was a commotion.
In Deng Zheng's view, it was as if Wu Feng's department as a whole had suffered a front and rear attack.
But Wu Feng slowed down, still calmly continued: "It's a pity that only a fool like Deng Zheng would think that others can be persuaded by him like this. ”
"Qingzhou's cancer, no matter what, it must be cut off first, this is the consensus between me and Su Can, and my uncle is the one who talks in the middle, this is the truth. ”
When these words fell, the soldiers who looked nervous and depressed cheered like thunder!
Wu Feng's team finally divided into two wings, and the white army's wave of arrows, turned into the middle army, interspersed through the split gap, like a sharp knife, stabbing at the Qingzhou army that was surging like a tide.
The waves of the white army are like war ghosts, rolling wind and thunder in their palms, and killing into the enemy formation.
It's still a familiar pop.
The Sea Tiger Bone Inscription was launched with all its might, and between the roar of the wild shark, one after another Qingzhou soldiers turned into meat cakes!
The Qingzhou Army, which was attacking with all its might, suffered such a heavy blow that the battle loss rate increased dramatically.
And Wu Fengbu, who was originally in chaos, also took the opportunity to reorganize his position.
Now the Shentang Army has formed a formation combining crane wings and sharp arrows, attacking in the center and pressing on both sides, launching an all-round attack on the Qingzhou Army.
"Report ...... Su Youguang's troops launched an attack on our army, and the front team was attacked fiercely, and it was about to be unable to hold on!" the herald reported to Deng Zheng.
Deng Zheng's color changed in an instant.
"No...... he rubbed his ears, "how can this be ......"
His face grew ugly.
"With Su Can as a guarantor, I am willing to believe it. According to the original agreement, Su Can should appear on the side, give Wu Feng a fatal blow, and take off Wu Feng's head. ”
"But Su Can's department hasn't arrived yet, if it's not just Su Youguang who has tricked us, but that even Su Can has joined forces with Wu Feng......"
Wang Wumian, the deputy hall master, also exclaimed, "Oh my God!"
"Hall Master, quickly order the front army to retreat steadily, if Su Can's troops arrive and encircle us, it will be doomed!"
