103. Battle of Denggang
Wang Zhen originally wanted to lead the army to meet the Dengzhou army that came to meet them, but he didn't expect that at this time, a large number of arrows suddenly rained down on the hill, which made Wang Zhen's army panic again in an instant.
"Everybody's on orders!"
"Obey...!"
"Kill with General Ben!"
"Kill it!"
Wang Zhen shouted as he temporarily gave up to meet the Dengzhou army and began to rush up the hill.
But unexpectedly, at this time, a large number of Dacao troops who had been in ambush for a long time suddenly appeared on the hill, and began to kill Wang Zhen's army.
Due to the occupation of the hill terrain by the Dapu army, Wang Zhen's army was defeated in several attacks, and the hillside was already covered with a large number of corpses of the Song army.
Seeing this, Wang Zhen knew if he couldn't take this post, so he had to escape with someone who wanted to break through the encirclement of the Dengzhou army that rushed to him.
But he didn't expect that the soldiers in his hands were burned because of the battle flag, the command could not be unified, and the morale of the army was weak, and he was defeated by the army from Dengzhou.
The big cauldron army on the hill took the opportunity to rush down the hill, and together with the Dengzhou army, surrounded Wang Zhen's remnants around the big tree under the hill.
"King's rule!"
"I don't know if you read the prophecy on that tree?"
Suddenly, at this moment, a voice came from not far away, this was naturally Yue Lin.
"Humph......!"
"Don't you want to kill me here?"
"Let me tell you, I, Wang Zhen, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and none of these soldiers under me are afraid of death!"
"Come on, you thieves!"
Wang Zhen seems to be ready to die on the battlefield.
"You say we're thieves?"
"We're not forced by your faint emperor yet!"
"Our Majesty originally wanted to fight against Jin and recover the Central Plains, but why did your Emperor Faint actually betray the land and people of the Central Plains, and wanted to collude with the Tartars to murder our Majesty, and our Majesty had no choice but to call the emperor against the Song Dynasty!"
"If you still know the current affairs, surrender quickly, after all, we are all Han Chinese, and we don't want to kill each other with you!"
Of course, Yue Lin wanted to persuade these people to surrender.
"You also deserve to kill each other?"
"It's not that Xu Xian's wolf ambition, self-respect, and now he is plotting to subvert our Great Song regime, why should our saints send troops to fight against Er?"
"If you can see the true face of that Xu Xian, you should repent in time, obey the orders of the imperial court, and work with us to arrest the thief Xu Xian, escort him back to Lin'an, and hand him over to the Holy Lord for disposal!"
"I, Wang Zhen, believe that as long as you do this, the Holy Heaven will never count your sin of rebellion in the future!"
Wang Zhen didn't seem to have the slightest intention of giving in.
"Good!"
"Wang Tongzhi, it seems that you are almost hopeless after being poisoned by the faint monarch Zhao Goucha, don't blame us for being polite!"
"Listen, everybody!"
"Don't let one go, kill them all!"
Seeing this, Yue Lin had no choice but to give an order.
So a fierce battle of trapped beasts began again.
In the end, Wang Zhen and his remaining subordinates were all wiped out at this post.
In the battle of Dengzhou, Yue Lin also won a complete victory, annihilating Wang Zhen's 30,000 elites and giving the Song army a blow.
When the sun rises in the east and the sun shines under this Denggang again, a huge pit has appeared here.
"Put... Bury them all! ”
"Buried it!"
Yue Lin commanded a group of soldiers who were still digging in the pit.
So all the corpses of the Song army were thrown into the deep pit and prepared to be buried.
"General Yue!"
"That's... Is Wang Zhen going to be buried? ”
At this time, a general came over and asked.
"Wang Zhen is a man after all, don't bury it first, and send it back to Song Jun!"
Yue Lin responded.
After dealing with these things, Yue Lin took the army, as well as the entire army and civilians of Dengzhou City, and retreated north together.
Tangzhou City.
"General Lee!"
"Dengzhou Urgent!"
"The king commanded 30,000 elites, and the whole army was annihilated!"
"The whole army is gone!"
A general came to report to Li Xianzhong at this time.
"Annihilation?"
"Hmph, Wang Zhen is really as I expected, overwhelmed!"
"It's too much to use!"
Li Xianzhong seems to have been mentally prepared.
"Someone sent back the corpse of the king just now!"
"I wonder what the general plans to do with it?"
The general asked again.
"It seems that Xu Dashuai is officially going to declare war on me!"
"It's good... That's good! ”
"It's time for us to officially face each other!"
"After all, Wang Zhen can be regarded as sacrificing his life for the country, and he died on the battlefield, you let him send his body back to his hometown and hand it over to his family!"
"Command all the generals to come over immediately, this general has important orders!"
Li Xianzhong's expression was very solemn.
The main hall of Lin'an Palace.
"Holy Lord, I heard that Li Xianzhong suffered a defeat in the front, and he also lost 30,000 elites!"
"Now the situation is no longer favorable to our army, so the minister asks His Majesty to change the general immediately to boost the army's heart!"
An official spoke to Emperor Zhao Gou at this time.
"Temporary change of generals is a taboo on the battlefield!"
"How could I change Li Xianzhong's position as the chief general because of a small defeat?"
Although Zhao Gou was dissatisfied with Li Xianzhong in his heart, his mind was still very clear.
"But now the war on the West Road and the East Road has developed in the direction that is beneficial to our Great Song Dynasty!"
"Only Li Xianzhong's middle army has made no progress, the vanguard defeated Dengzhou, and Li Xianzhong, as the chief general, instead sat in Tangzhou and saw death and did not save it, you can't turn a blind eye to this!"
"And I heard that Li Xianzhong used to be friendly with that thief, this Li Xianzhong may have colluded with that thief in private, Holy Lord, think about how serious the consequences will be!"
The official continued.
"You mean that Li Xianzhong is suspected of secretly being a thief?"
Zhao Gou's face changed instantly.
"Yes!"
"When the war with the Jin people in Huaixi was at the beginning, the Huaixi army was against that Xu Xian, but Li Xianzhong was the only one who was respectful to Xu Xian!"
"Now the soldiers who died in Dengzhou this time are almost all the Huaixi Army that opposed Xu Xian at that time!"
"If Li Xianzhong sent troops to support Dengzhou, how could those Huaixi troops be wiped out?"
"So Li Xianzhong is very suspected of being a thief!"
The official explained.
"That's it!"
"It seems that Li Xianzhong is really unreliable!"
"But who else can I send to replace that Li Xianzhong now?"
After listening to this official's analysis, Zhao Gou also began to have doubts about Li Xianzhong in his heart.
"Chizhou is in charge of Shao Hongyuan, because of the courage of the horses, leading the troops to fight, and he is even more worthy of being a general!"
"Therefore, the minister suggested that Shao Hongyuan be the chief general of the Middle Route Army to replace Li Xianzhong!"
"I believe that Shao Hongyuan will definitely be able to cooperate with Yu Yunwen and Wang Qi to completely eliminate the rebellious army for you and capture Xu Xian, the saint's henchman!"
The official suggested.
"Shao Hongyuan!"
"It seems to be a good fit!"
"It's a good fit!"
"So be it!"
"Chuan I ordered, from now on, I will order Shao Hongyuan to go to Tangzhou in the name of the staff division, and wait for the opportunity to replace Li Xianzhong's position as the commander of the middle route army!"
Zhao Gou agreed.
