Outside the city of Jeju, outside the argali, a huge army appeared, advancing in silence along the official road, the line was so long, stretching for more than ten miles, there was no end in sight.

The army was in a well-organized formation, and there was no noise, except for the sound of banners hunting in the wind and the clashing of armor.

Tong Guan rode a wind-chasing yellow dragon horse, braved the wind and snow, and walked at the front of the team.

He was a burly man, with skin and bones as hard as iron, a beard sticking to his cheeks, and although he was over sixty years old, his waist was still straight, and he was completely a martial artist, not at all like a eunuch.

Although he was only a eunuch, he held the military power for twenty years, and his power was overwhelming, and he gave orders that exceeded the emperor's control.

This sneak attack on Zhujiazhuang was planned by him, and then he and Gao Yu jointly presented it to Emperor Daojun.

In order to ensure that the plan was not leaked, he personally went to Jiangnan to select elite soldiers and strong generals, and then went all the way to the drum and quietly moved forward, wanting to bring Zhujiazhuang to a pot.

If this battle is successful, then his status and prestige will be on a higher level, comparable to the classic example of "Li Yuxue's night attack on Caizhou".

He was in such a hurry to eliminate Zhujiazhuang, not to avenge his younger brother Cheng Wanli, but to lead the troops to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. If he can recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, then he will be a famous general who will go down in history.

However, he must first pacify the rebels in the Great Song Dynasty before he can lead his troops to the north and raise the strength of the whole country to subdue Yanyun.

Originally, he had already led the troops to set off and entered the territory of Daliao, but suddenly Fang La rebelled, and the backyard caught fire, and Emperor Daojun was hurriedly transferred back to quell the rebellion, delaying his major event.

If Shandong Zhulong makes another mistake, his Northern Expedition plan does not know what year and month it will be. He was in his sixties and time was running out. And Dajin Guo doesn't have much time left for him, if he doesn't go, Dajin will have to eat it all!

Therefore, he was determined to nip Zhu Long in the bud and not give him a chance to develop and grow and raise an army!

"Drive!"

A group of light horsemen in front of him galloped forward, and one of the horsemen reported: "Prime minister, there is no ambush in the argali!" ”

"What about the outside of the exit?" Tong Guan asked, Hu Yanzhuo was ambushed by Zhu Long outside the exit after passing through the argali, and the whole army was annihilated, and he was defeated and surrendered.

"A battalion was arranged to reconnoiter around, but no trace of the thieves was found!"

Tong Guan looked around, and there were six generals around, namely the Imperial Flying Dragon General Yumei, the Imperial Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng, the Hebei Jiedu Envoy Wang Huan, the Deputy Commander of the Ma Army Liu Yanqing, the Infantry Army Commander Wang Yu, and the Suizhou Soldiers and Horses Supervisor Duan Pengju.

His gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he ordered: "Wang Yu and Duan Pengju are two generals, leading 5,000 infantry troops to seize Dongping Mansion, and Yumei, Bi Sheng, and Wang Huan will follow me to lead 5,000 horse troops and 20,000 infantry troops to attack Zhujiazhuang!" ”

Finally, his eyes fell on Liu Yanqing's face, and he said, "Liu Yanqing, you lead 20,000 infantry troops to think that you should respond!" ”

"Yes!" The six generals responded in unison.

"Let's go!" Tong Guan waved his hand, his momentum was awe-inspiring, his voice was majestic, and there was no such slender and sharp as the eunuch's words.

Passing through the argali, entering the boundary of Dongping Mansion, the army was divided into two arrows, one was a 5,000-foot army led by Wang Yu and Duan Pengju, and killed Dongping Mansion.

A group led by Tong Guan himself, followed by Yumei, Bi Sheng, and Wang Huan, with 25,000 people, went straight to Zhujiazhuang.

The remaining 20,000 troops continued to advance slowly under the leadership of Liu Yanqing.

The snow on the ground was more than a foot deep, the horses' hooves were slippery, and pedestrians had difficulty walking, and after three hours, the scout captain in front came back and reported: "Prime minister, we have been discovered by the scouts of the thief army! ”

Bi Sheng scolded: "The weather is so cold, I wish the thief to still send scouts to guard outside, it's really a dog!" ”

Tong Guan glanced at Bi Sheng coldly, frightened his back for a while, and secretly scolded himself for talking too much, and actually said that word in front of the eunuch, isn't this scolding the bald donkey in front of the monk?

"Since it was discovered, the two of them led the cavalry to advance at full speed and caught him off guard!"

"Yes!" Bi Sheng secretly vowed to move forward and perform well, hoping that Tong Guan would not take his gaffe to heart.

Under the leadership of the two generals, the Flying Dragon and the Flying Tiger, 5,000 cavalry trampled the snow and galloped away. Tong Guan also accelerated his speed with 20,000 infantry troops.

"Lord, a signal arrow has been sent out on the villa!" In the Beida camp in the back mountain, Lei Heng hurriedly strode into the conference hall, looking anxious.

Zhu Long's face remained unchanged, and he smiled: "What are you panicking about!" Let's gather quickly! ”

In the afternoon, after returning to Zhujiazhuang, after some discussion with Wu Yong and Chen Shou, he took the guards to be stationed in Beidaying, and as soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, they attacked the officers and troops from the flank and rear, and Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Luan Tingyu, and Zeng Lane attacked the officers and troops in front and back.

And the Zhu family is here, only Chen Shou's 3,000 garrison battalion is stationed, not only to defend the city, but also to guard more than 4,000 prisoners.

A desolate trumpet sounded, and the army quickly assembled.

Zhu Long's majestic gaze swept over the teams in front of him.

five hundred dragoons led by Qin Ming, Suo Chao, Zeng Kui, and Huang Xin;

the 500 camp led by Wu Song, Hu Gang, and Zhu Fei;

The 2,500 guards led by Zhu Hu, Shi Wengong, Bian Xiang, Han Tao, Peng Xi, and Li Yan included 1,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry.

Lu Zhishen, Wen Da, Bao Xu, and Shi En led a thousand Xuanwu Army cavalry - Lei Heng led a thousand infantry to guard the camp.

The total number of troops dispatched was 4,500, including 3,500 cavalry and 1,000 infantry.

However, the infantry was not left far behind, except for the light cavalry scouts, the cavalry led their horses forward to maintain the strength of the horses. Zhu Long was not in a hurry to rush to the battlefield, a thirty-mile journey could be reached in an hour and a half, no matter how brave the officers and soldiers were, he believed that Guan Sheng and them could still support it in this little time.

If Guan Sheng and them can't even hold on for these two hours, then it won't help Zhu Long and them to join in.

After driving their horses for half an hour, they came to the south camp of Zhujiazhuang.

A huge camp was in front of it, the gate was closed, and there were no soldiers or flags at the head of the wall, as if it were an empty camp.

Behind the camp was a treacherous hill, like a giant beast crawling on the ground.

On the top of the hill, a city stands on the top of the mountain, high up, looking down in all directions.

A wide road, from behind the camp, leads straight to the hilltop city.

Such a majestic and precipitous place made Yumei and Bi Sheng gasp, but the camp that seemed to be empty made them happy.

If there was an army holding this battalion, they would not be able to set foot on Dulonggang.

The two generals briefly discussed and came to the result, and Yumei said to the general behind her: "You take two hundred people, go in and have a look!" ”

"Yes!"

The general and colonel stepped forward and came to the gate of the camp with two hundred cavalry, and the four officers and men dismounted and tried to push the gate open.

Squeak –

The gate slowly opened, and the officers and soldiers cheered, but before the sound could land, a deafening gong sounded.

Whoosh!

More than a dozen sharp arrows flew out of the city, and four officers and soldiers were killed by arrows.

Suddenly, countless flags were erected on the wall, and there were fierce green dragons, roaring white tigers, flaming red birds, and flying horses on the flags!

Under the banner, a team of archers appeared, stretched their bows and arrows, and a round of arrows rained down, sprinkled to the officers and cavalry at the door, the officers and soldiers were shocked, turned their horses' heads and fled, but it was too late, they were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and the survivors desperately beat their horses and ran back.

Yumei and Bi Sheng were shocked, but what shocked them even more was still to come.

A group of cavalry poured out from inside the gate of the camp like an unstoppable torrent of steel! The leader of the general was Luan Tingyu who danced his gun and rode his horse, rushing towards the official army, and the standard-bearer behind him held a fiery red Vermilion Bird battle flag, followed by Zhang Qing, Li Yun, and Deng Fei.

On the left and right sides of the camp, there is a cavalry rushing out, under the banner of the green dragon on the left, Guan Sheng is holding the Qinglong Yanyue knife, with Xu Ning, Yang Xiong, and Hao Siwen, three generals, like a fierce beast out of the cage, murderous; Under the banner of the White Tiger on the right, Lin Chong held a spear in his hand, and rode first, Hu Yanzhuo, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, and Cao Zheng followed closely, all fighting bravely and unstoppable.

The three cavalry, like three charging arrows, attacked the officers from the left, the center and the right from the three directions.

"Brothers, follow me!" Yumei and Bi Sheng are also veteran generals who have been in battle for a long time, and they know that at this time, they can only rush forward. There is still a chance to win if you rush forward, but if you escape, you will definitely die.

Under the command of Yumei and Bi Sheng, the cavalry of the official army greeted the cavalry of the Zhujia army. The two cavalrymen collided head-on, and suddenly the man turned on his back.

The officers and soldiers had traveled a long way, and the men and horses were tired. Zhu Jiajun is waiting for work, and under the leadership of many fierce generals, the morale is high and unstoppable.

Luan Tingyu's spear in the middle of the road flew over, fast and ruthless, Zhang Qing, Li Yun, and Deng Fei guarded him on his left and right, all fighting bravely, the four of them were like an arrow straight into the enemy, tearing open the crack, and the Suzaku Army cavalry behind continued to widen the crack.

Guan Sheng's knife technique on the left side is magnificent, sweeping in all directions, blocking people and horses with one knife and two cuts. Xu Ning is also a first-class master, the hook and sickle hook has taken countless lives, and Yang Xiong and Hao Siwen are also very brave.

Lin Chong and Hu Yanzhuo on the right formed a double arrow, and rode to charge, Lin Chong's spear pierced, Hu Yanzhuo's double whip smashed, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, and Cao Zheng were also brave generals, and they had the most fierce momentum along the way.

In the three legions, the soldiers worship the generals, the generals know the soldiers well, the soldiers and generals are one, and they are united in one heart, like an arm command, everyone strives to be the first, and closely follows the banner of the main general.

The three arrows rushed left and right in the official army, breaking the official army to pieces.

The officers and soldiers did not know the generals in the first place, and they did not know the soldiers, and they were put together temporarily, and there was no tacit understanding of cooperation at all. Once disrupted, there is simply no way to regroup without the orders of the generals.

Yumei and Bi Sheng looked at the dangerous battle situation, and cried out in their hearts, they knew that the official army was about to be defeated.

I wish that the family army can be cohesive, like three iron fists, but the official army comes from different systems, does not belong to each other, and is huge and loose. Usually, they follow the command of the general, and they can't see anything, but in the fierce battle, the order cannot be conveyed in time, so they cannot cooperate tacitly.

They also found that in the fierce collision, the fallen were the war horses of the official army, and when sprinting, many of the official and military war horses slipped and fell, but the war horses of the Zhu family army did not appear in this situation, they did not know that the war horses of the Zhu family army were nailed to the horseshoe, and they had a strong grip on the snow, such as walking on the ground.

"Excuse me, let's withdraw! The brothers can't bear it! Bi Sheng shouted.

"Okay, retreat! The two beckoned the cavalry of their headquarters to retreat and leave the battlefield. As soon as the two generals left, the officers and men on the battlefield suddenly collapsed, and they turned their horses and fled, but they squeezed together and ran even slower.

Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, and Luan Tingyu continued to chase and kill officers and soldiers, and the fighting on the battlefield only crushed the enemy army, but the real harvest of victory was in the pursuit.

They were not worried about the enemy's ambush, because the Zeng family's Qianji camp had already been scattered, and everything nearby was under their surveillance.

After chasing for more than 20 miles, Tong Guan, who had already received the news, had already organized an infantry phalanx to meet the fleeing cavalry.

Guan Sheng held the cavalry, rode to the front of the formation, and said loudly: "My lord knew that Master Tong was coming, and sent Guan to greet him!" ”

Tong Guan saw that he was outstanding and extraordinary, and asked Wang Huan, "Who is this?" ”

"The original Pudong inspector Guan Sheng is also, and was later appointed as the governor of Dongping Mansion, and then fornicated with Zhulong, and took refuge in him. It is said that he is after Guan Yunchang! ”

"How can such a hero be willing to fall and commit himself to a thief!" Tong Guan sighed, drove two steps forward, and said coldly: "Go back and tell Zhu Long that he will not end well if he raises troops and gathers people to rebel!" Now this official has brought 100,000 Wang Shi to come to crusade, only to punish the three brothers of the evil Zhu family, you and others can not be investigated, you don't make mistakes, quickly get lost, put down the knife and gun, and redo the good people! Don't be stubborn, and be buried with the family. When the knife and axe are on the neck, it is too late to regret it! ”

"Haha!" Guan Sheng looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and said disdainfully: "If you hadn't been beaten by us and chased to this point, Lord Tong's words might be more convincing!" ”

Lin Chongce immediately stepped forward and sneered: "The court is all treacherous and evil people, how can there be a foothold for loyal ministers and good generals!" Tokyo children will sing: Beat the child, splash Cai, it is a good world in the world!

Thinking of that Gao Yu, he was a scoundrel, and even relatives, friends, and neighbors looked down on him, but he was like a fish in water in the court, and the court was a nest of snakes and rats!

You Tong Guan has been in charge of the army for many years, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, but there is no military merit worthy of praise, the Western Xia has been defeated repeatedly, how many men in the Western Army have been pitted, even the general Liu Fa has died because of your indiscriminate command, but you have deceived the emperor, pretending to be a victory, so as to promote and make a fortune, it is really a shameless eunuch! ”

Tong Guan was trembling with anger, and his mind was blank! For many years, no one has ever dared to say the word "eunuch" in front of him! Today, Lin Chong actually called him a "eunuch" in front of tens of thousands of troops!

"Shoot the arrows! Kill me! Tong Guan angrily ordered.

The Lord will be furious, and ten thousand arrows will be fired, but it is useless, Guan Sheng and Lin Chong are out of range of the bow and crossbow, unless they use the three-ox bed crossbow and the divine arm crossbow.

"Prime minister, please calm down, don't fall for the anti-thief scheme!" Veteran Wang Huan persuaded.

Tong Guan said angrily: "Hugh wants to stop me, don't kill this thief, swear not to be a man!" ”

Wang Huan had no choice but to say: "Kill this horseman, why do you need a large army, please let the last general go out and kill this wingman to relieve the hatred of the prime minister!" ”

"Good! Kill him quickly! ”
