Chapter 338: One Man Guards One City
"Not bad!"
Huangfu Tianyuan nodded and said, "I have been serving as a staff member in the Zhenxi General's Mansion for the past few years, and General Wang has been promoted from a military Sima to a general who leads 10,000 troops in just a few months, and I can be regarded as witnessing it." ”
After Wang Cheng heard this, he suddenly understood why Huangfu Tianyuan appeared here at this time, and dared to love Huangfu Tianyuan all the time to assist Zhenxi General Song Huchen to defend Wuping County.
Yes, the town guard!
Because Huangfu Tiande, the current head of the Huangfu family, married Zhou Zhaowu's sister, the Huangfu family has always had a potential task, which is to be responsible for guarding the western border defense line of the Great Zhou.
Of course, the defense line is mainly guarded by soldiers, and they only need to provide martial arts powerhouses, and when a strong person such as a great grandmaster is dispatched on the opposite side, they will take action.
This is also why, for more than ten years, although there has been friction between the Great Zhou and the Xia State on the border issue, it is rare for senior generals at the general level to be beheaded.
"General!"
At this moment, ** Wei, who was holding a drum urn and a golden hammer in one hand, rode over.
When he was still more than ten meters away from Wang Cheng, he jumped off the horse, his fat face was covered with blood, but he didn't care, and said excitedly: "General, the five thousand men and horses guarding the West City Gate, except for the dead and wounded, the remaining four thousand men and horses have all surrendered!" ”
"Good!"
Wang Cheng looked happy, patted ** Wei's shoulder, and said, "Good job!" When this battle is over, I will personally ask the court for credit for you! ”
Wei smirked twice, in fact, he knew very well in his heart that the situation in Lingzhou City had been opened by Wang Cheng, and he was just here to pick up the fruit.
Wang Cheng explained some precautions to ** Wei and asked him to take over the defense of the west of the city.
Huangfu Tianyuan suddenly spoke: "It's almost over in the east of the city. ”
Before entering the city, he had already killed a lot of Black Eagle Army, and all the captains of the Black Eagle Army were killed by him, and there was no high-end force in the east of the city that could stop Bao Zheng's 30,000 horses.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a shout of killing from the east.
I saw that Shi Baozheng was wearing a red battle armor with blood stains everywhere, he was standing on the chariot, holding the handle of the car with one hand, and slashing people with a sword in the other.
Behind him were a large number of armor soldiers, each with blood on their bodies, and they were murderous.
Wang Cheng looked at Bao Zheng, who was covered in blood, and was somewhat surprised in his heart.
The last time he was in the mansion, Zhang Zhao, the captain of the Imperial Forest Military Academy, had told him that the assassin Shi Baozheng had also led soldiers and fought, and he didn't believe it, but now that it looks like it's absolutely true.
He is in his fifties, slashing people everywhere with a sword, and his fierce appearance is much better than those veterans on the battlefield, who dares to say that he is just a civil official?
"General Wang doesn't know, Bao Tingshi has also practiced martial arts, if it weren't for his age and limited energy, it may not be impossible to break through the realm of martial arts." Huangfu Tianyuan Road.
After Wang Cheng heard this, his heart suddenly changed.
Bao Zheng's identity made him ignore the other party's martial arts cultivation, but he didn't expect the other party to be a martial artist.
can't blame him for negligence, as Bao Zheng's subordinate, he can't go to investigate other people's cultivation at will, right?
"This official is Huangzhou Assassin Shi Baozheng, who supervises all military and political affairs in Huangzhou, the guards of Lingzhou listen, now put down their weapons, this official will not be held accountable!"
Bao Zheng's voice came again.
Li Yuanxu, who commanded the army, fled, Zhang Rui, who defended the city, fell, and now Lingzhou City has also been completely breached, and the Xia soldiers who defended the city have no heart to fight again.
Of course, there are also a small number of Xia people who did not do this, but they also fled desperately.
Soon, Bao Zheng, who was riding in a chariot, came to Wang Cheng and Huangfu Tianyuan, and there was still undried blood on his black charcoal-like face, and he looked murderous like Yama Luo coming out of hell.
Seeing Wang Cheng, he laughed loudly: "Wang boy, Lingxian has finally taken it back!" ”
Smiling and laughing, he shed tears, more than ten years have passed, and Lingxian has finally taken it back.
He had lived in Huangzhou for the first forty years of his life, and he had witnessed the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the territory was annexed by the enemy but could not be recovered, so he held his breath at that time, and one day he must take them back.
Today, he finally took back Lingxian County, and of course, Liuxian and other Huangzhou hometowns.
"Yes! Finally retracted! Huangfu Tianyuan was also sighing.
Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Wang Cheng, if there was no such person, these places would probably have to continue to maintain the status quo for a long time.
Wang Cheng said at this time: "My lord, the situation in the city has basically been decided, but Dizhou will face Li Yuanqing's 30,000 army in Pingzhou, and the last general needs to rush back immediately." ”
Although Li Lin is now guarding Dizhou, the men and horses available to him are the original defenders of Dizhou, once the cavalry general Li Yuanqing personally leads the army, who knows if those Dizhou troops will defect.
"It's the old man Meng Lang!"
Bao Zheng wiped away the tears on his face and said solemnly: "The crisis in Dizhou has not been resolved, so I will bother General Wang to go again in person." ”
He looked at Huangfu Tianyuan again and said, "Tianyuan, do you want to accompany Wang Xiaozi to Dizhou?" ”
Huangfu Tianyuan nodded and said, "General Wang, I'll go with you." ”
"The emperor's predecessors should stay here to protect your lordship! Although Lingxian County has been recovered, the city is not peaceful. Wang Cheng directly refused.
Seeing that the two were about to speak, Wang Cheng waved his hand, and then whistled.
Qing Lei, who had been in the city for a while, immediately galloped to his side, his head rubbing against his chest.
Wang Cheng patted Qinglei's neck, quickly turned over and got on the horse, hugged Bao Zheng and Huangfu Tianyuan, and then turned around and left without hesitation.
"Jiawei, take your brothers, let's go back to Dizhou, and follow me to save your family, General Li!"
"Yes! Checkmate! ”
Wang Cheng took the lead, and soon gathered a large number of cavalry behind him, and marched out of the city.
"This kid!"
Bao Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, then looked at Huangfu Tianyuan, and said, "What do you think of this kid?" ”
"He reminds me of a man." Huangfu Tianyuan did not answer this question directly.
Bao Zheng was curious: "Who?" ”
"Ning Hou!" Huangfu Tianyuan Road.
Bao Zheng was stunned, pondered for a moment, and said in a complicated tone: "Hussar general! Born rich and noble, he already led a large army to defend one side in his twenties. If it weren't for his identity, Wang Xiaozi would not be any worse than Ning Hou. ”
Huangfu Tianyuan nodded and said, "They are all peerless generals, but General Wang gives me the feeling that he is better than Ninghou." Ning Hou may not be his opponent at his age. ”
"I'm also optimistic about this kid, a natural star, brave and strategic, if there are no accidents, the future achievements are limitless." Bao Zhengdao.
Huangfu Tianyuan looked at the back that had disappeared, and said with a complicated expression: "When I see him, I feel that I am old." Generations of talented people have come out, and a generation of new people has replaced the old. ”
Bao Zheng pointed at him, shook his head and smiled: "You kid is only in his early forties, and the old man's loess is about to be buried in his neck, do you say old in front of the old man?" ”
"Haha......"
Dizhou.
A large number of cavalry appeared in the north of the city, and there were at least 10,000 people.
The front rows of cavalry held dozens of large flags, half of which were written with the five characters of "Xiaocai General Li", and the other half were written "Pingzhou Metropolitan Governor".
The identity of these tens of thousands of cavalry is self-evident, it is Li Yuanqing's Pingzhou Army.
Li Yuanqing was wearing a black battle armor, with a sash on his head, his face was a little pale, holding the reins in one hand, but the other sleeve was empty.
was cut off by an arm, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and he still couldn't fully recover after so many days.
Li Yuanqing led tens of thousands of cavalry all the way to the city, but when he was still four or five hundred meters away from the city gate, he suddenly ordered everyone to stop immediately.
The lieutenant on the side was puzzled: "General, why did you stop?" ”
Li Yuanqing looked at the city in front of him, frowned and said, "It's too quiet!" ”
"Quiet?"
The captain was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded: "It's very quiet!" ”
Tens of thousands of cavalry are about to kill the city, and it is impossible for Dizhou City not to hear such a big movement, but why didn't Dizhou City react at all?
I saw that there was not a single soldier on the city of Dizhou, and the city gate was also wide open, and pedestrians could be seen coming in and out.
The captain was also confused, he had led his troops to fight for so many years, which time did they not let the other party feel like a great enemy when they came to the city, and they had never encountered this situation in Dizhou City.
He looked at Li Yuanqing on the side and said, "General, what should we do?" Do you want to go straight in? ”
Li Yuanqing didn't speak, and after that night of fighting, he didn't show off as much as before.
His opponents are strong and cunning, and he must be cautious and cautious against such people.
He looked at his empty sleeves, and that was the price of his conceit.
"Pass the order, the Harrier Army is out of battle!"
He turned his head to the captain on the side and said a word, and the captain quickly turned around to give the order.
"The Harrier Army is out!"
Soon, a large number of cavalry walked out, with an "eagle head" tattooed on each head, a scimitar hanging at night, and a strong bow on their backs, which was eight or nine points similar to the world-famous Black Eagle Army.
However, this group of people is far inferior to the Black Hawk Army in terms of momentum, but they are obviously stronger than ordinary Xia people.
It was after the 1,000 Black Eagle Army was wiped out that Li Yuanqing newly formed an elite unit, with a scale of more than 1,000 people, and some of them were cultivated in the Qi and Blood Realm.
To put it simply, this is a weakened version of the Black Hawks.
Li Yuanqing ordered one hundred and ten of them and said, "You go into the city to explore the truth and truth, and report to me at any time if there is a situation!" ”
The people received the order and immediately rushed into the city.
All the way to the city, the people did not encounter any obstacles, and then rushed into the city.
Li Yuanqing kept an eye on their movements outside the city, but after a while, no one came out.
"What's going on?"
Li Yuanqing was depressed, and there was no movement at all when the 100th elite soldier entered Dizhou City.
It's so weird!
At this moment, a man appeared in the city, wearing a red battle armor, covered with a black robe, holding a spear, and his posture was upright, as immobile as a mountain.
There was only this figure in the huge city, and it was so conspicuous in the sunlight.
He shouted loudly: "General Li, Wang has been waiting here for a long time!" ”
