Chapter Ninety-Eight: Destroying the Door
Xiao Jingxuan, who returned to the formation, raised his right hand, only to see that the horn of attack immediately sounded in the formation.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jingxuan pulled out the divine soldier in his hand, pointed the long knife at Zhao Jun's camp, and shouted, "Kill." ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Jingxuan took the lead and began to attack, and then the rest of the soldiers also began to attack the Zhao army.
And Yu Wenyue, who returned to the formation, was not so good. I saw that Yu Wenyue's face was cloudy.
However, it is too late to regret it at this time. Yu Wenyue gritted her teeth and began to give orders, ordering all the armies under her command to charge.
The two sides soon fought together.
Xiao Jingxuan's own pro-army was brave enough to do this, and soon made a hole in the front camp of the Zhao army and killed towards the rear camp of the enemy army.
The striker led by Yu Wenyue was also brave, and soon killed the tiger and leopard rider.
However, the combat power of the tiger and leopard cavalry under Xiao Jingxuan is not trivial, and for a while, Yu Wenyue did not break the formation of the tiger and leopard cavalry.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting, and every moment, someone died, and for a while, the entire battlefield was full of flesh and blood.
In this battle, Xiao Jingxuan only left 1,000 people to defend Hengzhou, and the rest of the soldiers and horses had all gone out of the city to fight.
Both sides can be said to be desperate, and this battle is a battle of national fortunes.
If Yan is defeated in this battle, then Zhao will inevitably take advantage of the victory to pursue, and when the time comes, Heng, Yi, You, and Ji will inevitably be unprotected, and even Pingzhou and Weizhou will also be at risk of falling.
In the same way, if Zhao Guo is defeated, it will not be much better.
Both sides can be said to be fighting to the death on the battlefield, and there is no room for mercy on the slightest of their subordinates.
In Panzhou, not far from Hengzhou, there are almost 80,000 troops stationed, and this army is Yu Wenyue's ambush.
However, they didn't know that Yu Wenyue had fallen into a bitter battle at this time. Still honestly stationed here.
And the so-called reinforcements in Xiao Jingxuan's mouth, the soldiers of the Youzhou battalion are also still stationed in Youzhou City, and they have not left Youzhou to support Xiao Jingxuan, who is fighting hard.
The two sides fought from the time of the day and fought until the time of Shen, and it can be said that the soldiers on both sides were a little exhausted.
At this moment, I saw a large piece of smoke and dust behind Hengzhou, and I saw that in the dust, the faintly visible ghostly flag was fluttering in the wind.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Jingxuan was overjoyed. shouted at the soldiers who were fighting around him.
"Brothers, work hard, the reinforcements from Youzhou have arrived, kill me."
As Xiao Jingxuan's words fell, the morale of the Yan army generals on the entire battlefield was greatly boosted.
When the soldiers of the Zhao army saw the reinforcements of the Yan army arriving, their morale dropped greatly for a while, and even some soldiers had begun to retreat.
The battle of almost three hours has caused heavy losses on both sides, and now the reinforcements of the Yan army have arrived, and the general trend has gone.
Seeing this scene, Yu Wenyue immediately began to give orders and Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.
Among Yu Wenyue's 80,000 troops, there are almost 40,000 infantry, and if they retreat at this time, the infantry will naturally be left behind.
However, at this time, Yu Wenyue couldn't care about so much, and if the whole army was wiped out, the losses would be even heavier.
As the enemy cavalry retreated first, the infantry remaining on the battlefield instantly became the target of the tiger and leopard cavalry.
When Xiao Jingxuan saw the Zhao army retreating, he began to command the army and the whole army pursued.
This pursuit made Zhao Jun run even more happily.
Xiao Jingxuan ordered Ye Xiong to pursue with him, while Xiao Yuan and Hu Dewei stayed behind to collect the remnants of Zhao's army.
Xiao Jingxuan led the army to pursue for half an hour, and then slowly returned to the army.
After meeting with Xiao Yuan and the others, everyone knew what reinforcements there were.
The so-called reinforcements were just disguised by the two thousand cavalry left by Xiao Jingxuan in advance.
The cavalrymen were two horses and each horse had a battle flag. Behind the horses, branches are tied.
The dust that kicked up covered the rear of the reinforcements. It is mistaken for a large number of cavalry.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the generals, Xiao Jingxuan said with a laugh.
"Although the method is old, it just works, okay, give the order to go down, clean up the battlefield, and then go back to the city to rest."
Soon, the battlefield was almost cleaned, and as for the work such as collecting corpses, the young men in Hengzhou City would naturally be in charge.
At this time, Xiao Jingxuan was sitting in the city guard mansion, listening to the generals of various departments report the results of the battle.
In this battle, Xiao Jingxuan can be said to have won a miserable victory, if there is no last suspicious soldier, I am afraid it will not be a matter of a miserable victory, but a fiasco.
In this battle, more than 15,000 of the 30,000 cavalry under Xiao Jingxuan's command were killed, and almost everyone alive was wounded.
As for the infantry, it was okay, 30,000 infantry, and more than 12,000 people were killed in the battle.
As for the Zhao army, after counting the corpses, the cavalry of the Zhao army lost more than 16,000 people, the infantry killed almost 18,000 people, and captured 20,000 infantrymen.
In other words, Yu Wenyue withdrew from the battlefield with almost 20,000 cavalry.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingxuan said to Xiao Ran beside him: "Immediately send an order, ordering Wang Xuan to immediately lead the Huwei army into Youzhou and serve as the head of the Youzhou march, and order Yang Xiong to immediately lead the army into Hengzhou after Wang Xuan arrives and move to the head of the Hengzhou march." ”
"Yes, the last general will go to give the order immediately."
As Xiao Ran retreated, Xiao Jingxuan said to the generals in the hall: "Order, except for some of the soldiers defending the city, the rest of the soldiers and horses will all enter the city to rest. ”
"Yes, the last general commands."
After the generals retreated, Xiao Jingxuan also waved out the pro-troops in the hall and sat alone in the hall.
After a while, Xiao Jingxuan said to the side: "Order, order Zhao Gang to give me the whole mansion of Ding Weiran, all the mouths, remember that the chickens and dogs are not left." Tell him to clean his hands and feet. ”
I saw a word "yes" in the air.
After the voice dissipated, Xiao Jingxuan's face was complicated.
Ding Weiran played a huge role in Xiao Jingxuan's stability of Fan Yang, and he worked hard to govern Yan and Wei in the future.
Unfortunately, the lust for power blinded him and led him to make untimely decisions.
Previously, Xiao Jingxuan transferred Wei Ming to the palace as the right chief historian, just to remind him vaguely.
It's a pity that he ran away for two years later, which made him commit a lot of crimes.
Ding Weiran can be said to be full of disciples in Yan Kingdom, and only assassination can reduce the turmoil in officialdom.
However, it is not appropriate for him to return to Beijing at this time, otherwise, it will make some people with a heart think wildly.
In this way, in the following days, Xiao Jingxuan rested in Hengzhou City with peace of mind.
Ten days later, in Yingzhou City, the headquarters of the secret guard, Zhao Gang was in the study to check the newspapers from all over the country.
I saw a dark shadow suddenly appear in the study. Zhao Gang, who heard the movement, immediately became alert.
Immediately got up, reached out and prepared to pick up the weapon on the side. I saw the black shadow speak: "Lord Zhao, don't panic, pass on the king's will." ”
After hearing the black shadow's words, Zhao Gang relaxed. I saw the black shadow take out a token and hand it to Zhao Gang, and then said.
"Spread the king's will, destroy Ding Weiran, the whole house is up, the chickens and dogs are not left, in addition, I ask you to clean your hands and feet, don't leave your hands and tails."
After listening to the black shadow's words, Zhao Gang picked up the token and began to check it. After confirming that the token is correct, he said.
"The stakes are so big, I don't know if there are other proofs."
After hearing Zhao Gang's words, the black shadow sneered.
"No, it can't be done, Lord Zhao looks at it." As soon as the words fell, the black shadow vanished.
Picking up the token, Zhao Gang confirmed it again.
Then he said to the door: "Order, order the ten secret guards to return to their positions quickly and wait for dispatch at any time." ”
Then, Zhao Gang got up and left the study, and went out of the city towards Yulin Academy.
Although Ding Weiran is only a civil official and his background is not high, after all, he has been in power for many years, and he still has a group of masters under his hands.
Just in case, Zhao Gang still has to make a few more preparations.
Late at night the next day, Zhao Gang took fifty of his men in night clothes and went straight to Ding Weiran's mansion.
As the first assistant, Ding Weiran's mansion not only has fifty guards, but also a large number of martial arts masters are kept in captivity as guests. Guarding safety.
After Zhao Gang came to the door of Ding Weiran's mansion, he made a gesture, and the fifty men in black immediately divided into several ways and separated towards the mansion.
Soon, shouts of killing rang out in the mansion. A large number of guards, doormen began to kill the man in black.
The guards' martial arts skills were not high, and they were basically wiped out after a face-to-face with the man in black.
However, those Jianghu doormen have two hits, and they can still fight with the man in black for a while. Zhao Gang did not intervene in this kind of battle, but went straight to Ding Weiran's bedroom.
The shouts of killing in the mansion had already alarmed the inner courtyard. The ladies began to shout in panic.
Ding Weiran also walked out of the bedroom, and with the support of the maid, he checked the surrounding scene at the door of the room.
But Zhao Gang walked towards the bedroom unhurriedly, and the people who were blocked on the way were all stabbed one by one, without mercy.
Under the frightened gaze of the female dependents, Zhao Gang came to Ding Weiran's side.
Zhao Gang bowed. said: "Lord Ding, you look respectful, I am willing to give you a chance, you can judge yourself." ”
Ding Weiran was stunned because he heard Zhao Gang's voice.
"How dare you? …… How dare you? ”
Ding Weiran repeated this sentence tremblingly.
Zhao Gang still said unhurriedly.
"Elder Ding, if you can't do it, the lower officials can also do it for you."
heard Zhao Gang's voice of "Xiaguan". Ding Weiran finally determined that the person in front of him was the person he thought in his heart.
"I am the first assistant of the dynasty, and I want to meet King Yan."
Seeing Ding Weiran's hoarse shouting, Zhao Gang finally made a dead move, but Zhao Gang didn't know how much trouble he would bring to himself because of his hesitation.
After killing Ding Wei, the men in black under his command also solved the doormen in the mansion and killed them in the inner courtyard.
Zhao Gang looked at the female dependents around him, and then at the child in the arms of one of the female dependents, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but he quickly ordered the surroundings: "Kill, leave no one." ”
Soon, there was no longer a living mouth in the entire mansion, but just in case, Zhao Gang ordered someone to set a fire and burn the entire mansion.
