Chapter 441, capture the enemy before the battle
Hearing the shouts all around that King Wei had arrived, the soldiers of Luye City were all suspicious, and Hou Jingxian was also a little suspicious, but before coming, Master Niu had already said very clearly, according to the news from the spy, Tang Jiusheng, the king of Wei, was still in the Weiwang Mansion in Anshu County and did not move, and only sent his investigators led by Jiang Zhenyu to Jianzhou County to investigate Ye Tengjiao.
Lord Niu first sent Zhang Shuihuan and Ning Chenggang to lead troops to intercept and kill the investigators of Weiwangfu, and just in case, he spent a lot of gold to invite the killers of Luoyu Pavilion to assassinate the investigators of Weiwangfu. A two-pronged approach to ensure success in one place. Later, for some reason, I heard that the assassination of the killer of Luoyu Pavilion was unsuccessful, and Zhang Shuihuan and Ning Chenggang had no news, Hou Jingxian sighed, this person from the Wei Wangfu is really powerful!
Later, I heard that the Wei Wangfu got hundreds of troops outside Jianzhou City out of nowhere, which was originally a disease of scabies, but Lord Niu was unstable, so he sent himself with 3,000 elite soldiers to support Jianzhou quickly. Unexpectedly, I thought of the outside of Jianzhou City, only to hear that the men and horses of the Wei Wangfu had taken Jianzhou City, and the county guard Ye Tengjiao was also arrested.
Hou Jingxian suddenly fell into a dilemma, attacking, insufficient troops, knowing that Lord Niu would definitely send reinforcements after learning the news, so he could not withdraw the troops at this time, so he had to set up camp thirty miles outside the east gate of Jianzhou, and at the same time sent people to report back to the Yamen, and flew the pigeon to pass the book back, waiting for the arrival of the rear army.
The first night he camped outside the city, Hou Jingxian made preparations, for fear that the city would send people to rob the camp, but he didn't expect that the night would be safe. In the evening of the next day, Hou Jingxian suddenly received a flying pigeon from the spy in the city, saying that Jiang Zhenyu, the captain of Jianzhou, would come to rob the camp with 2,000 soldiers and horses tonight, so he was ready to ambush He Changhu on the road, ready to capture Jiang Zhenyu alive, but he didn't expect the opponent to outflank him in three ways.
When the soldiers of Luye City heard that King Wei was coming, they all panicked, and Hou Jingxian shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, Tang Jiusheng is not here at all! This is the enemy's strategy, quickly close the formation!" When the soldiers of Luye City heard Hou Jingxian's order, they all shrank their formations inward, who knew that the soldiers of Jianzhou did not stop them, and let them gather in formation and join forces together.
solemnly ordered his soldiers to tie up He Changhu, who was captured by him, Hou Jingxian lost his right arm and felt distressed. The soldiers of Jianzhou surrounded the military regiment of Luye City, Tang Jiusheng ripped off his skin, rode out of the crowd on a big white horse, Jiang Fatzi, Zheng Zhong and others all dismounted to pay respects, and the mountain shouted: "See Weiwang Chitose, Chitose!"
Tang Jiu was angry and lucky, and said loudly: "Let's all be even, tonight, someone who can capture Hou Jingxian alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold! Those who can behead Hou Jingxian will be rewarded with a hundred gold!"
The remnants of the defeated soldiers from Luye City were completely dumbfounded, it turned out that Tang Jiusheng, the king of Wei, was really in Jianzhou. The soldiers from Lu Yelai all looked at each other, fearful, Hou Jingxian was furious, and slashed two army commanders who tried to escape with his sword, but he still couldn't stop the sloppy military spirit.
Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "Brothers of Luye City, don't follow Niu Mandi to rebel anymore, Niu Mandi has no future at all, whoever surrenders tonight, this king will pardon you for your innocence and allow you to continue to serve in the army.
Serve the country! General Ning Chenggang, who had your envoy to the Yamen before, has already led the crowd to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, helping this king to defeat Jianzhou, and this king has already asked the Holy Lord to add an official to him and promote him to the knighthood!"
These words clearly reached the ears of the soldiers of Luye City, and some of the soldiers had already begun to move. At this moment, Ning Cheng just jumped out from behind Tang Jiusheng, holding a black gold gun in his hand, and ran around in front of the formation, shouting loudly as he ran: "Brothers, don't follow the anti-thieves all over the ground anymore, let's surrender to Weiwang Chitose together! Let's destroy these anti-thieves who are not loyal to the Great Shang Kingdom and do a vigorous cause!"
Hearing Tang Jiusheng and Ning Chenggang shouting like this, many soldiers from Luye City were yearning, carrying weapons, and fled to the soldiers and horses of Jianzhou in all directions, shouting as they ran: "Don't let go of the arrows, we are here to surrender!"
Hou Jingxian cut down a few soldiers in a row, but he couldn't stop the soldiers from fleeing, Hou Jingxian's side, the fewer people ran away, and finally only about 20 personal soldiers were left around him. Hou Jingxian was furious, and rode on the horse and scolded: "Ning Chenggang, you anti-thief! Lord Niu treats you well, you actually led the troops to surrender Tang Jiusheng, you come, I will fight you to the death!"
Ning Chenggang also said angrily: "Good birds choose trees to perch, and good ministers choose masters and masters! Niu Mandi, as a strategic envoy, received great favor from the imperial court, but did not want to serve the imperial court, but instead became a traitor, Ning naturally abandoned him! What is wrong? I am a general of a great businessman, not a family man full of cattle! You Hou Jingxian do not distinguish between public and private, and you are willing to be a house slave full of cattle, so you can go with you! You can't ask these brothers to be as loyal and treacherous as you, and they don't distinguish between right and wrong!"
Hou Jingxian couldn't bear it anymore, raised the golden spear in his hand, patted down the yellow horse and rushed towards Ning Chenggang, and shouted: "The surname Ning, you disloyal and unrighteous villain, do you dare to test your marksmanship with me? If you win, Hou Mou is at your disposal today, if you lose, you will leave your head!"
Ning Chenggang laughed wildly: "Hou Jingxian, since you want to die, Ning will fulfill you!" He also slapped his horse and rushed forward, waving the black gold gun in his hand, and fought with Hou Jingxian first. The two golden guns were raised at the same time, and they both hated to swallow each other alive, and the two of them fought for thirty rounds in front of the battle, regardless of victory or defeat. The soldiers on both sides cheered in unison, but it was a pity that Hou Jingxian's men were few, and the cheering voice was a little weaker.
Hou Jingxian and Ning Chenggang fought more than 30 rounds in front of the battle, and there was no winner or loser, Hou Jingxian secretly said in his heart, I didn't expect that this surnamed Ning really has some ability, and he is not weaker than me at all! Hou Jingxian fought with Ning Chenggang for a few more rounds, peeking at Tang Jiusheng's position.
Tang Jiusheng was far away from the army, standing out on a single horse, and was looking at the competition between the two generals with a look of concern. Hou Jingxian saw Tang Jiusheng from afar, and secretly said in his heart, shoot people first and shoot horses, capture thieves and capture kings first, even if I capture Ning Chenggang alive now, it will be useless, if I kill Tang Jiusheng, it will be better than killing a hundred generals!
Thinking of this, Hou Jingxian smiled coldly, and took the opportunity to fight with Ning Chenggang to take Tang Jiusheng directly. As soon as Ning Chenggang turned around, he was startled when he saw Hou Jing go to Tang Jiusheng first
, hurriedly patted the horse to chase, and the two of them were twenty paces apart. Jiang Fatzi was carrying a sledgehammer and was watching the battle, when he suddenly saw Hou Jingxian sneering and pounced on Tang Jiusheng, he couldn't help but be furious in his heart, and he sandwiched the horse's belly between his legs, and also came to fight Hou Jingxian.
Hou Jingxian urged the horse to gallop towards Tang Jiusheng, while calculating the distance between him and Tang Jiusheng, it was obvious that he was closer to Tang Jiusheng, and when Ning Cheng just caught up, or Jiang Fatzi killed, he had already slaughtered Tang Jiusheng. Seeing Tang Jiusheng riding on the big white horse again, he seemed to be stupid and didn't move. Hou Jingxian's heart was ecstatic, and he secretly shouted in his heart, you deserve your kid's life is short! Hou Jingxian raised the golden spear in his hand and stabbed Tang Jiusheng's former heart.
The people watching the battle were far away, even if they wanted to rescue Tang Jiusheng, they all exclaimed in unison, just at the moment when Hou Jingxian's spear head was about to stab Tang Jiusheng, Tang Jiusheng lightly poked out his left hand, firmly grasped the sharp tip of the spear, and gently struggled, picking Hou Jingxian up from the horse, Hou Jingxian firmly grasped the gun with both hands and refused to let go, trying to stab forward hard, but like a grasshopper shaking a tree.
Hou Jingxian was gently raised by Tang Jiusheng with one left arm, shocking the onlookers. Tang Jiusheng picked Hou Jingxian in the air, seeing that he was still holding the gun and still refused to let go, he suddenly smiled slightly, the qi machine passed through the gun, and with a violent shock, Hou Jingxian's arms were numb, he couldn't hold the gun, he involuntarily let go, and fell to the ground with a pop. Tang Jiusheng turned the head of the golden spear in his hand, pointed at Hou Jingxian's throat, and shouted, "Tie it up!"
The fat man who ran in front of him had already picked up the sledgehammer and was about to smash Hou Jingxian to death, but when he heard Tang Jiusheng's words, he forcibly put the sledgehammer back. Ning Chenggang was also surprised, just now, in a hurry, he forgot about the fact that the Wei Wang was superior in martial arts, Ning Chenggang turned over and dismounted, stuck the black gold gun on the ground, knelt down on one knee and saluted Tang Jiusheng, shouting: "Wei Wang is mighty!"
Tang Jiusheng was extremely brave, and captured Hou Jingxian's feat before the battle, stunned the soldiers on both sides, and when he heard Ning Chenggang shouting that Wei Wang was mighty, he reacted, and all of them raised their swords and guns and shouted, "Wei Wang is mighty! Wei Wang is mighty!"
Hou Jingxian sighed, his heart was like ashes. originally wanted to capture Tang Jiusheng alive, but he didn't expect to be captured by Tang Jiusheng. Hou Jing closed his eyes first, convinced of the defeat, and said secretly in his heart: No wonder he became the king of Wei at a young age, and he really has extraordinary skills, just with his means of taking me down before this battle, no one under Lord Niu can go through ten rounds under him.
Some soldiers stepped forward and tied up Hou Jingxian, and Hou Jingxian's more than 20 personal soldiers who did not surrender saw that General Hou was captured, and tried to save him, but they were surrounded by all the soldiers and disarmed. The soldiers of Jianzhou shook the ground with joy and escorted the generals of Luye City back to the city.
Shui Rulong took hundreds of soldiers to sweep Hou Jingxian's empty village, and all of them were demolished and pulled back to the city.
The next morning, everyone in the city knew that King Wei had arrived in Jianzhou, and he also captured Hou Jingxian, the general of the Jingluo Yamen, in front of the two armies, and the hearts of the people in the city immediately settled down. King Wei is so brave, what are you afraid of?
Soon, another carrier pigeon in the city flew to Luye City, Tang Jiusheng and Xiaowei pretended not to know, just waiting for the cattle to send troops to attack the city.
