CHAPTER XLII
XLII
Wu Chuanyu sighed, seeing Shui Mingfu and Li Wenhong together, how did he not know that there was a husband and wife between the two, and finally knew that it was really impossible for him to hold hands with Shui Minghong, if ordinary people saw their beloved become someone else's bed, they would be disheartened, and they would have to scold a few sentences, Wu Chuanyu walked out of this official post, took a few steps forward, and said in his heart: "I will never see her again, I will never see her again......" I can't tell if it's regret, resentment, unwillingness, I don't seem to know my heart, I just want to see Shui Mingfu again, and I don't want to really see her, I only said in my heart: "Now she doesn't need me anymore, someone will take care of her, that person is his beloved." I should not be in front of her now, to embarrass her in front of her husband, I should disappear soon, and I don't want to see her again. β
Thinking of this, he only felt that the needles were on his back, performing light skills, like a big bird, across this courtyard, he naturally didn't see that Li Wenhong was able to push out the woman who had just shared the bed with him in order to survive, in Wu Chuanyu's heart, Shui Mingfu gave up himself and took Li Wenhong, naturally because Shui Minghong loved Li Wenhong deeply, but Wu Chuanyu didn't know that some women's hearts didn't completely value "love and righteousness".
Wu Chuanyu flew into the outside of this town, fell in a forest, and rushed to the dart team, at this time Wu Chuanyu only had a glimpse of Shui Mingfu when he was leaving, that glance seemed to contain coldness, doubts, seemed to have a little care, if she shouted to herself, she would definitely turn her head and go back, let herself see it, her heart hurt, and thought that she and Shui Mingfu really never had the slightest chance to be together, the depression in her heart, she couldn't get out, after falling on the ground at this time, she only felt that there seemed to be a fire in her heart, and there was a big tree in front of her, which was the woods outside the town, and it was dark around, and didn't see the starlight, which is really a portrayal of Wu Chuanyu's mood.
Wu Chuanyu roared: "Do you want to stand in my way?" pulled out the sword with his backhand, this sword is Wu Chuanyu's life skills, it is Lan Xinya's kung fu taught him in the Tianshan Mountains, this sword out, I saw that the sword qi was like a tide, and more than ten big trees in front of Wu Chuanyu flew up "boom", Wu Chuanyu did not wait for these trees to fall, and the sword technique was used with all his might, as if he was his enemy in front of him, and those poor trees had not yet fallen and let the sword qi be divided into dozens of sections.
The people next to him only saw Wu Chuanyu like a madman, his face was distorted, he cut dozens of trees in front of him into wood, and he also made a strange cry in his mouth: "Hehe".
There was a light sound around him, and it turned out that the dozens of black-clothed people who had besieged Li Wenhong just now stood aside, and they wanted to step forward, only to see Wu Chuanyu slashing indiscriminately, seeing that Xiu Wei was already a first-class master in the martial arts, and the black-clothed man who took the lead wanted to order his men to rush up and kill this kid who had broken his mission, but at this time, seeing Wu Chuanyu's swordsmanship, all the black-clothed people stopped. Seeing the man in black taking the lead, the current situation, even if it is a surge, Wu Chuanyu can run away, even if he doesn't run, if he wants to kill Wu Chuanyu, maybe after killing several people, he can do it, but it's not worth it.
The man in black who took the lead saw that Wu Chuanyu was quiet, waved his hand, and said to the people behind him: "All retreat" All the killers withdrew dozens of zhang away, and saw that Wu Chuanyu was in a slightly more comfortable mood at this time, and let his sword qi split a big hole in front of him, and the man in black saw that Wu Chuanyu seemed to come back to his senses, and arched his hand and said: "What do you call Shaoxia and Li Qunshan Daxia?"
Wu Chuanyu frowned, this time the other party treated him politely, and he couldn't lose his identity, and said: "Li Qunshan is under the master's uncle, the family teacher Hu Yida, do you want to ask for advice again?"
The black-clothed man who took the lead said: "In the subordinate generosity, I once received the kindness of Li Daxia, and I was unwilling to be the enemy of the Bashan faction, do you know that you are bad today about that uncle?"
Wu Chuanyu saw that the other party's tone eased down, and the hostility was much less, and he also put a lot of hostility, and said: "Look at your skills, I have seen your colleagues in Longshan, Hunan, look at your actions and skills, presumably you are working for Lord Wu?"
All the men in black were silent. Who in the world can launch such an elite force, except for some rare forces, such as the Demon Sect, the Imperial Court, and Prince Wu, even if it is the Bashan Sword Technique, it is impossible to pull out such a team that is good at killing and has superb overall strength.
Guan Dafang was masked in black and said: "It's not a secret, we are the servants of Prince Wu, and we have been favored by the heroes of your faction Li Qunshan, and we really don't want to be enemies of the Bashan faction, but if the Bashan faction wants to be enemies of Prince Wu, we can only be an unrighteous villain for the sake of the prince." β
Guan Dafang thought that Wu Chuanyu's behavior was instructed by Hu Yida, and thought that the Bashan faction was against Prince Wu, but although Hu Yida was close to Wu Zhangzhang, he was more close to the noble generals of the family brought by Zhou Shixin, but no matter what, the big disciples of the Bashan faction around Wu Chuanyu are now coming to sabotage Wu Sixun, in the eyes of others, it is the Bashan faction and Wu Sixun who are opposed.
Wu Chuanyu came to his senses at this time, knowing that if he should come down, he would really cause a big disaster for the Bashan faction, and when he thought that the master had a great favor to him, he must not let the Bashan faction take care of himself, this matter was caused by himself, and he couldn't be involved in the sect, so he immediately said loudly: "Wrong, this is what I secretly came from the master and all the uncles, my master has never thought of going against Prince Wu, and he has never thought of destroying Prince Wu's affairs." β
When Guan Dafang heard this, he was happy, a few years ago, Guan Dafang was just an ordinary soldier, as Wu Zhangzhang's personal guards went to the Lianghu area, at that time Li Qunshan led everyone to chase and kill the demon sect members, and saved Guan Dafang several times, at that time, Guan Dafang's family background was not obvious, his martial arts were not good, and he was not good at swatting horses, Li Qunshan accidentally saw Guan Dafang killing the enemy desperately, so he taught Guan Dafang exquisite swordsmanship, at that time there were only a few days, but these days of professor, but let Guan Dafang be used, after returning to the capital, his martial arts made great progress, the internal force rose greatly, and the Hu people who entered the capital were defeated in the Nanyuan competition, and were valued by Wu SixunSince then, he has been on the rise, and until today, his swordsmanship is still taught by Li Qunshan when he was chasing the Demon Sect, and he is generous with this leader, and he really doesn't want to be an enemy of the Bashan faction in his heart.
Hearing this, Guan Dafang said: "Wu Shaoxia, since it is not the Bashan faction that is the enemy of Prince Wu, then please retreat, for the sake of Li Daxia, I can not care about your affairs today, nor explain it to your division commander, but Li Wenhong's affairs, Wu Shaoxia should not care about it from now on." β
When Wu Chuanyu heard this, he knew that the other party was enough to give himself face, of course, the other party gave Li Qunshan face, and said: "The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, friends, let's say goodbye." Guan Dafang bowed slightly, and Wu Chuanyu was about to perform light skills and turned away.
But at this time, I heard Guan Dafang say in a low voice: "If you can't do anything today, you will do it tomorrow, you wait for a few people to ......" It turned out that when Wu Chuanyu left, Guan Dafang was assigning his subordinates, planning to attack Li Wenhong again tomorrow.
Wu Chuanyu thought that the other party would miss a blow, so he would stop attacking Li Wenhong, so he was relieved to go, but when he heard Guan Dafang's voice, he knew that the other party had never thought of letting go of Li Wenhong and his group, and he wanted to go back immediately, but he finally did not lose his mind and was not so reckless.
Li Wenhong's father, Li Huaifeng, and Wu Zhangzhang's party, discord with Wu Sixun, in the court for the orthodox, is Ming Ming to support the prince, this is a matter of the court, Wu Chuanyu naturally does not know, but now Wu Sixun will never let go of Li Wenhong, Li Jiashui family is quite powerful in the court, but Wu Sixun is a very small-minded person, the general court dispute, will never reach the point of taking the life of a political enemy, but Wu Sixun did it, Guy often did dirty things for the emperor.
The reason why Wu Sixun dared to kill was also because the emperor didn't like the prince, and Li Huaifeng, who supported the prince, was reprimanded not long ago, and found an excuse to punish him for a year, and under the pretext that the prince was playful, so that the prince reflected in the palace and was not allowed to leave the palace, Wu Sixun touched the emperor's meaning, and felt that if he killed Li Wenhong at this time, the emperor would not care, if it was usual, Wu Sixun would not dare to do this, this time, kill the chicken to the monkey, take this opportunity to pull these wall grass, and set up a prestige to the people below to see, Wu Sixun since Wang Siyuan's incident, greatly lost the holy favor, this time, and through Wu Shanzhang in the two lakes to no effect, the emperor was angryand jumped up again.
Wu Chuanyu didn't know these things, Wu Chuanyu heard this, wanted to turn around, but thought that as the eldest disciple of the Bashan faction, if he blocked Prince Wu like this, Wu Sixun would definitely count this laugh on the head of the Bashan faction, Wu Sixun was narrow-minded, Wu Chuanyu naturally knew that in addition to killing Li Wenhong, he also had to snatch Shui Ming, Shui Mingfu was also a famous beauty, Wu Sixun set up a beauty pavilion in his palace, which contained a portrait of a beautiful woman in the world, and several people had fallen into the hands of Wu Sixun, I heard that Wu Sixun had been made a plaything, thinking that Shui Mingyun was going to fall into the hands of Wu Sixun, who was famous for his lust, Wu Chuanyu was anxiousγ
How can he save Shui Ming, Wu Chuanyu performed light skills, and after leaving this town, he thought hard in his heart, and he would not be unable to distinguish the severity and pull out his master.
At this time, in Wuchang City, Li Qunshan stood on the school field, at this time, the court and An's Tusi finally reached a peace agreement, the court to the dead An Congming posthumously crowned the prince, to be treated with generous gifts, this is never since the founding of the country, An's has no longer been the enemy of the court, at this time the front line An's suddenly retreated, and divided the troops and horses, threatening Hao Zheng'an, Hao Zheng'an scolded, but there was no way, Anjia Tusi ran, followed by a large group of small Tusi, the strength of his hands was greatly reduced, and there was no advantage in the strength of the court.
The luxury family is still stubborn, the Xiang family began to soften, and a large number of small toasts also began to differentiate, and on this side, the court has collected the autumn tax today, and transferred 60,000 soldiers to the two lakes, luxury Zheng'an only saw a team after team of soldiers and horses marching into Xuan'en City, but his side is a day by day There are few people, and the court has transferred about 8,000 people from the right Weiwei from the divine capital Luoyang, and the king of Anping County, The right Weiwei general Li Zhongsi is the commander of the army, this Li Zhongsi to the respect of the county king, the status is naturally above Wu Zhangzhang, Li Zhongsi has a title, Wu Zhangzhang as a civil official, can no longer check and balance Li Zhongsi, this is a great victory for the military generals against the civilian officials, from now on there is no need to listen to a group of civilian officials to the battle, it is really a great joy in life, the emperor is also afraid that because of the victory of the war, so that the ministers are too strong.
This is also because Wu Zhangzhang has been fighting for a long time without attacking, only defending and not attacking, provoking the emperor to be angry, Wu Zhangzhang advocated at this time to Fu to the master, not without results, An Jia and a large number of small Tusi is under the policy of Wu Zhangzhang, surrendered to the court, is that the emperor did not take him, just sent the main battle of Li Zhongsi as a general, of course, nominally the matter of the two lakes is still Wu Zhangzhang as the head of the march of the two lakes, Li Zhongsi wants to listen to him, but Li Zhongsi's noble identity is there, Wu Zhangzhang can command the generals, but can not take these nobles, Wu Zhangzhang can only provide logistics for the army at this time, and if it is not done well, Li Zhongsi on a piece of paper, Wu Zhangzhang can not eat wellγ
Where is the emperor's meaning, Wu Zhangzhang knows it, and knows that the emperor is dissatisfied with his guarding, this is to let Wu Zhangzhang give Li Zhonghei a hand, so he honestly didn't say anything, but there are a few orthodox Qingliu letters, and now the emperor has sent them to Yunnan, which can be regarded as giving the people below a little direction.
Li Zhongsi is obese, standing on a high platform, like a sitting on a mountain of meat, his face has a beard that has become a mixed color, with a double chin, and his mouth spews out stench from time to time, the chair makes a "squeak" sound from time to time, he didn't want to wear armor, but now in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the armor of the military household is as eye-catching as a beggar's suit, no one wants to wear it, if you wear a scribe's clothes, it is more popular.
Below is the boundless ocean of human heads, more than 10,000 people, boundless, at this time Wu Zhangzhang can only stand on the side of the stage, at this time to steal the limelight of Li Zhonghe, that is clearly to offend people. Li Zhongsi intended to fight a decisive battle with the other party, Wu Zhangzhang was actually dissatisfied in his heart, in the first few months, at that time, compared with the strength of the court and the Tusi, it was almost the same, or even less, almost 40,000 to more than 60,000, and at that time, the military grain and grass could not be helped, in the current situation, but also in order to ensure that the autumn tax in the Jianghan Plain was normal, it was natural to be on the defensive, and now, Xuan'en front-line government soldiers were nearly 100,000, and the cavalry of Longyou also came, and Shendu was transferred to the west to stand on the right guard, nearly 120,000 first-line soldiers and horses, such a large scale, plus the autumn tax has been completed, of course it will be attacked, but when the situation improves, I can also get the credit of pacifying the southwest, this Li Zhongsi came to grab the credit, which has the credit of Wu Sixun, it was Wu Sixun who proposed to the emperor to replace himself with Li Zhongsi, Wu Sixun also took this opportunity to sell to the noble family in the court, which made Wu Zhangzhang how not to be angry, but he is a person with a city government, so he naturally will not put it on his face.
Li Zhongsi was triumphant, he was originally a noble son, not to mention a family of generals, this time he just didn't do anything, let go and let his generals fight, he sat and waited for the share of the work, he was self-aware, he knew that he didn't know how to fight, but let his subordinates do it.
Seeing countless soldiers lined up in front of him, he was really full of pride, and he really realized the taste of ten thousand people. Li Zhongsi waved his hand and said, "Soldiers, go on the expedition." With a wave of his hand, the chair squeaked and almost collapsed.
The flow of people drove out of the city, and the final decisive battle was about to begin.
On the front line of Xuan'en, Hao Zheng'an was restless, and at this time, in the big tent, sitting opposite him was none other than the Demon Sect Elder Tan Zhengkun. The other seats in the big tent are empty, many of the toasts have run away, the Demon Sect since the Bashan faction united the factions to attack the Tianshan Mountains for the first time, they sent Tan Zhengkun to the Lianghu area, Se Gongzi to go to the Shandong region, Tan Zhengkun in the two lakes area one is to rebel, the other is to find out the silver hidden by Qiu Defeattian, it is best to create a big chaos in the two lakes, Se Gongzi is with the Guardian Army, protect the gold and silver military funds from the Tianshan General Altar hundreds of thousands of taels, including the silver of the Pai gang that was snatched, to help Wang Kaiping, and save the situation after Wang Pingkai's defeat in Shandong.
I saw that Hao Zhengan was anxious, walking around in the tent, and Tan Zhengkun was also embarrassed.
Hao Zhengan walked up to Tan Zhengkun and said: "Elder Tan, to tell you the truth, can you still make trouble behind Wuchang City now, but we said okay, after I started the incident here, you will start an incident behind Wu Zhangzhang, and now I have been fighting for so long, with so many casualties, why haven't you seen your so-called incident, and whether you keep your promises." β
Tan Zhengkun said: "It was about to start an incident, but I didn't expect that Qiu Luotian, an old thing, was blinded by lard, and he didn't know where to transfer the millions of taels of military salaries that caused the incident, which was twenty carts of silver." Without military funds, we need to use something to start an incident, this is really an unexpected situation. β
At that time, Qiu Yutian and the disciples who sat down were responsible for transferring military salaries, and when the Bashan faction and the righteous people attacked Tianshan, Qiu Yutian took the opportunity to poison hundreds of disciples who transferred military salaries with him, and then escaped from Sanji Peak. Qiu Yutian thought that it was very beautiful, with these millions of taels of silver, he didn't have to worry about it for the rest of his life, and he didn't have to work hard for the White Lotus Sect anymore, he didn't want to go off the mountain, so he crashed into the hands of Li Qunshan and Hu Yida, and he was very happy and sad. This last treasure map is hidden on Wu Chuanyu's body at this time, but Wu Chuanyu doesn't know what is going on, and he hasn't remembered to find that hidden silver yet.
Hao Zheng'an doesn't care so much, now he has quietly sent an envoy to contact Li Zhonghe, at this time Hao Zheng'an no longer wants to be the king, he thinks about how to keep the foundation, he is not a bent on the Demon Sect, just use each other.
Tan Zhengkun said: "Your Highness, now the only way is to defeat this Li Zhonghe." Now, there is only a desperate fight, even if he can't win, he must make Li Zhonghei hurt a lot. This man said this on his face, but he took it for granted.
When Hao Zheng'an heard this, his heart was on fire, but he naturally didn't put the anger in his heart on his face, but said in his heart: "You Demon Sect people just want me to come forward and work hard, you are so good, you want me to be the wronged boss for you, how can I do it, if it is not for you to be useful, I will use your heart and liver to drink today." β
At this time, a person entered the tent, knelt down to Hao Zheng'an, and said: "Lord Luxury, then Xiang Mingwei said that he was unwell and didn't want to come to the camp, and the Xiang family soldiers retreated more than thirty miles today, which is farther away from us, and they also sent spies to guard against our army." β
This surnamed Xiang took away almost 20,000 people, at this time on the front line of Xuan'en, in terms of troops, the luxury family and the small toasts who followed the luxury family, the strength of the army did not exceed 30,000, and on the opposite side, there were already 100,000 troops.
Hao Zhengan also wanted to retreat, but as soon as he retreated, those little toasts who followed the luxury family dispersed in a hurry. At that time, there will be fewer troops, and in the face of the opponent's Taishan overwhelming momentum, there is no chance of winning by half a point, unless the general on the opposite side is a pig.
Hao Zheng'an was very anxious, but he was helpless, he initiated sex, he wanted to drink with people's hearts and livers, at this time he hated Tan Zhengkun, so he glanced at Tan Zhengkun from time to time, secretly wondering if he handed him over, would his sins be avoided.
Tan Zhengkun said: "Anyway, as soon as you retreat, those little toasts will have to run, it is better to fight once under Xuan'en City, just once, and push those disobedient little toasts to the front." To die is to die them. But it's true.
Hao Zheng's head had this idea for a long time, and he went to invite the Xiang clan just now, which was the idea of letting the Xiang clan charge ahead, and he didn't want Xiang Zhixing's grandson, that Xiang Mingwei, who was also a shrewd person, how could he come. Today, there are only more than 30,000 people left in the city. More than 10,000 of them are small toasts from all over the country. Hao Zhengan said loudly: "Okay, now I will retreat if I don't fight once, and I haven't discussed it if I want to bargain with the court, and now I am going to fight once." β
Hao Zheng'an said to the head: "Beat the drum, gather people and horses, today we will fight to the death with the court." β
On the dark red land, the rocks are covered with moss, so that it is extremely difficult to stand firm, the native soldiers are crowded and lined up, the court army opposite, at this time, Hao Zhengan and Tan Zhengkun are both standing behind the team, standing in front of them, it is attached to the luxury family and a number of small toasts, many have thousands of soldiers, and there are only hundreds of people, these toasts have the water family, the Deng family, There are also Yuan and others, who have always acted according to the orders of the Hao family, and in this battle, Lu Zheng'an put these small toasts in front of the battle, and put his own headquarters behind the battle, if Gaine does not fight a battle, turn around and leave, then once these small toasts know their own reality and reality, maybe, they will no longer join forces with themselves, and in turn take refuge in the court, and oppose themselves, knowing that most of the defeats in this battle will have to fight. Even if you can't beat it, you have to consume these little toasts so that they can't go against you.
At this time, Hao Zheng'an quietly ordered the leaders of his subordinates to move their headquarters backwards, intending to save their elite strength and retreat backwards once the front could not withstand it
The leader has adjusted the formation of the Tusi soldiers of the luxury family. After this war, as long as the foundation can be kept, the strategy that I thought about before, that is, to lay down the two lakes as a base and oppose the court, has come to naught at this time.
In the planning of the Demon Sect and Hao Zheng'an, once the Lu Zheng'an got into trouble, the Demon Sect rose up after Xuan'en City, when the Lu Zheng'an and the Tusi soldiers were the strongest, several Tusi joined forces, and the maximum number of troops reached nearly 100,000 people, at that time, the battle line had pushed the Xuan'en line, and Hao Zheng'an was the leader of the Tusi alliance at that time, and even began to plan to divide the troops to capture Chongqing, Chengdu, as the founding capital, but the strategy of advancing was soon hit, first in the Xuan'en battle, and the battle line could no longer advance in the Xuan'en line, under the Xuan'en City
In the first battle, the Tusi soldiers did not get any benefits, and several Tusi who followed the luxury family were seriously injured, and there were tens of thousands of corpses in Xuan'en City, and the casualties of the Tusi were more than the casualties of the court. Wu Zhangzhang's strategy was very successful, and after that war, Hao Zheng'an's prestige was hit, and he could no longer dictate to the people.
Originally, at this time, it was the time for the Demon Sect to rise up and rebel after Xuan'en City, but although Wu Zhangzhang's character was not good, he was also an old man who sought the country, at this time Wu Zhangzhang knew that the White Lotus Sect would definitely make a move, so he made the first move, mobilized the Bashan faction and a righteous martial arts person, and with the emperor's approval, attacked the main altar of the White Lotus Sect in Tianshan.
For this reason, the emperor also inscribed a row of plaques, which can be regarded as a great effort. The strength of the Demon Sect, in terms of martial arts masters, is of course concentrated in the Tianshan Mountains, where dozens of small countries are separated, and the court can't control it, so it is the best choice for any martial arts righteous person to attack. Moreover, Tianshan Mountain is also the administrative headquarters of the Demon Sect, and it is also the holy place in the hearts of the believers of the White Lotus Sect in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
Sure enough, the White Lotus Sect had to transfer a lot of forces back to the Tianshan Mountains, this time, the grass startled the snakes, and many of the latent altars were detected by the famous local government, and then encircled and suppressed, when Hu Yida, Li Qunshan and others attacked the Sanji Peak of the Tianshan Mountains, in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were also fiercely besieging the various sub-altars of the Demon Sect. It has to be said that significant results have been achieved.
That's why Hu Yida understood at that time that even if he couldn't capture the Tianshan Mountain, he had achieved his goal.
Of course, Tianzhu Wu Zhangzhang, there is one thing Wu Zhangzhang never thought of, that is, when the righteous path factions were besieging the Tianshan Mountains, the Demon Sect Elder Qiu lost his power and was angry within the Demon Sect, when Wang Siyuan forced the rebellion against Zhu Tusi in Hubei, the next original plan was to start hiding silver, and start an incident in the two lakes, at this time in the eastern part of Hubei, the Demon Sect has developed 100,000 believers, these believers are just some farmers who have lost their land, and even have lost the military field of the government soldier family, but once the incident arises, it is a great force, the Great Zhou Dynasty at this time The loss of military land is serious, Wu Zhangzhang is on the front line of Xuan'en, and the government soldiers who can be recruited by the military field at the beginning are less than 10,000 people, and most of them are old and weak, which can be seen from this. At this time, many people at the bottom of the society joined the White Lotus Sect, and at that time, it was Qiu Yutian who led his disciples to use the silver seized as military funds and transported them to the eastern part of Hubei.
Qiu Yutian actually took the Tibetan silver map and ran away.
Not only did he run away, but he also poisoned the disciples who were also in charge of this matter, this Qiu Yutian was in charge of a part of the Demon Sect, and the other people who knew the location of the hidden silver died cleanly, so no one knew, originally Qiu Yutian thought that he had returned to Tianshan, at least to give a top ten elders, he didn't want the fierce internal fighting on Tianshan, as long as he handed over the Tibetan silver, he didn't want to give anything else, he also made up his mind to run away, otherwise he would not return to Tianshan if he was rescued at the beginning.
Qiu Yutian plans to run away with Yintu, and he doesn't plan to work for the Demon Sect anymore.
But people are not as good as heaven, Qiu Yutian carefully planned, taking advantage of the righteous path to besiege Sanji Peak down the mountain, at this time the care of Sanji Peak is the most chaotic, it is a good time to go down the mountain, but he saw such a stunning beauty as Shui Ming, and thought about whether he could lead Li Qunshan to a forbidden place in the Demon Sect, carelessly lost his hand, let the righteous path and the others take it, and the corpse was eaten by the dog raised by the Fang brothers. This Tibetan silver map is now in Wu Chuanyu's hands, but Wu Chuanyu doesn't think about it at all now.
The plan to start an incident in eastern Hubei was aborted, so the battle line was pulled in the Xuan'en area, the longer the time was pulled, the more unfavorable it was for Hao Zheng'an, and his prestige was declining day by day.
On the other hand, looking at the court side, as soon as the autumn tax is over, the financial confidence is full, and the courage is also thick, and only the government soldiers of several provinces have been transferred, plus the original soldiers and horses, there are more than 100,000 people.
And luxury Zheng'an, at this time, don't say that Chongqing and Chengdu have been defeated, and they can't even hold the existing territory.
In the current situation, there is only a piece of bitter water in the luxury and peace of mind. Now he can only take one step at a time, he has sent someone to quietly ask Li Zhongsi for money, and also sent thousands of gold to Wu Zhangzhang, but the other party ate the silver taels he received, and without looking at it, the soldiers came over, and it seemed that they were not full enough.
Hao Zheng'an's thoughts returned to the battle array in front of him.
At this time, the dark clouds are thick, the flowing water makes a loud and chaotic sound, it just rained yesterday, the ground is muddy, the local soldiers are wearing straw sandals, the soles of their feet are soaked in water, in April, it is quite cold, the feet are cold, how the native soldiers feel good, on the other hand, the government soldiers on the opposite side, all have military boots to wear, the clothes and armor are new, and they have just eaten a good meal, the government soldiers who have not seen the taste of meat for a long time, after Li Zhonghe's military parade, good wine and good meat. It was the time when the fighting spirit was high.
Jiang Feng and Li Qunshan led the cavalry, on the side of the infantry formation, they were the first to go out of the city, and took on the task of preventing the native soldiers from attacking before the army went out of the city, so that the army could calmly set up a formation, and the three thousand cavalry were enough to undertake such a task, in order to ensure that the Tusi soldiers on the opposite side did not attack, Li Qunshan and other cavalry had already driven out of the city before dawn, which caused the cavalry to not have a good meal, but there must be more rewards after the war.
The previous large array of nearly 40,000 infantry had been lined up, because it rained yesterday, and the ground was wet, but Jiang Feng still led a thousand cavalry to harass the opposite Tusi formation, Jiang Feng led the cavalry of Longyou, galloped quickly in front of the Tusi formation, and shot wave after wave of cavalry bows at the opponent's formation.
This hand is learned from the Turks, if the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Turkic soldiers are at war, it is absolutely undaring, the Turkic soldiers are longer than the horse war, if the Great Zhou soldiers and the Turkic soldiers meet, the Turkic soldiers are all horse team formations, running in front of others to shoot arrows, it will only make people laugh big teeth, plus be shot into a sieve by the other party.
However, in the face of the Tusi soldiers who are good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and the plains are not the Tusi soldiers' strengths, Hao Zhengan considered it politically and gave up his relative advantage in military strength, which was also a helpless choice under the trade-off.
In the last battle outside Xuan'en City, Jiang Feng also led the team to conduct cavalry shooting, but the strength of the two sides at that time was exactly the opposite of now. It didn't play a role at all, now the cavalry is like a rain of arrows, so that the toast soldiers can't raise their heads, the horses' hooves are soaked in the mud, turning up a wave of mud, the cavalry is riding their horses loudly, running around in front of the toast soldiers, these small toasts under Hao Zheng'an, some don't know how to counter the cavalry at all, they also desperately raise the rattan shield in their hands, individual toasts know that they must be countered at this time, scattered javelins and axes threw at the opponent's horse team, and very few cavalry fell off their horses.
Li Zhongsi saw a thousand cavalry on Xuan'en City and shot tens of thousands of native soldiers in a mess, worried that before his large array had passed, the Tusi soldiers fled in a hurry, and then the credit would be less.
Then he turned to one of the generals beside him and asked, "Shall we now withdraw the cavalry?"
Li Zhongsi is a parallel import.
He has never been on the battlefield at all, if the cockfighting arena in Shendu is not counted, he just made five thousand taels of gold, let the eunuch red man around the emperor blow the wind, and made another ten thousand taels of gold, so that the emperor's favorite concubine, finally changed this opportunity, counting on the money back, his military strategy, completely from the book.
But this does not affect the victory of the court army, because the war, how to fight, there are wise officers below, Li Zhongsi has to do only one thing, that is, the generals under his command say: "My lord, our army should be ...... immediately" At this time, Li Zhongsi picked out one of the methods that got the most people's consent, and then implemented it.
In fact, it doesn't matter if the coach is a pig. It's not good to be too smart.
By the big flag at the head of the city, Li Zhongsi was lying on the stomping, the Mingguang armor worn by the general was really uncomfortable, and his body weighed more than 30 catties, if it weren't for the need of the scene at this time, Li Zhongsi would have thrown this iron sheet into the moat under the city. β
The general on one side whispered: "Great marshal, when the strength is exhausted and they can no longer open the bow, they will naturally retreat, and then Mingjin will collect the troops, affecting the infantry formation, and after the infantry formation defeats the opponent's large formation, the cavalry has recovered its strength, and they can chase and kill the opponent." β
Li Zhongsi let out an "oh", and then Shi Shiran said: "It seems that General Zhou's name is worthy of his reputation? β
The following general is Zhou Shixin, Zhou Shixin is also from the noble family, but it is still not as good as Li Zhonghe's family background, Zhou Shixin smiled: "Li Dashuai is the world's first-class soldiers, that is, Sun Wu is resurrected, standing opposite, and is not Li Dashuai's opponent, can work together under Dashuai, we can win the battle, I have been the founding of the country for a hundred years, and the adults deserve to be the first person." "Zhou Shixin has already reached the point where he can come up with whatever he wants, and he can come up with it without going through his head.
There was a lot of moss in the city, and there was muddy water, Li Zhongsi looked at the generals behind him, and then looked at the black and oppressive heads under the city, and the sky was not clear, so he sighed and couldn't help but say: "It's really fucking lively, fighting is lively." "All the generals are human spirits, so naturally they didn't hear it.
In the final analysis, the defeat of Hao Zheng'an is still a failure of strength, and the embodiment of strength in war, it is not impossible to win more with less and use troops like gods, but in the end, it can only achieve a partial and temporary victory. Compared with the court and luxury Zheng'an, there are millions of government soldiers who can be mobilized on the books, there are countless battle-hardened generals who have been transferred from the border pass, there are more grain and grass, and cavalry, on the other hand, luxury Zheng'an, why expect the tens of thousands of people under his hands to put down their hoes and take knives and guns to become divine soldiers, the combat power of the luxury soldiers under Hao Zheng'an is not bad, and the soldiers under other small toasts are not half a star, and the soldiers under these small toasts can only chop wood and plow the ground. It's okay to ask them to go into battle and fight with the wind, but to put hope on them is to seek death at all.
If tens of thousands of Tusi soldiers have not yet taken the opponent's infantry formation, they will disperse in a hurry, which is really unacceptable to him, so he ordered to let the headquarters move forward and slightly suppress these useless little toasts.
More than 20,000 luxury soldiers lined up and moved forward. approached the big formation of the little toasts, and now, sure enough, the small toasts settled down, and the formation was no longer chaotic. At least the confusion is not as obvious as it was just now. Begin to throw javelins at cavalry moving outside the formation.
Jiang Feng led the cavalry, and he had already shot more than ten arrows, and his hands had begun to be sore, so there was no point in shooting again. So he shouted: "Retreat" Thousands of cavalry retreated to both sides of the infantry formation amid countless hooves.
In the mud, countless pairs of feet wearing boots stepped on the mud, and turned over with the mud, and after the cavalry retreated, it was the world-famous Longyoumo swordsman array.
The current foot soldiers, all wearing big iron armor, slowly moving forward, holding a long chopping knife in their hands, from the perspective of Hao Zheng'an, countless black iron buckets, holding big knives, drove towards themselves, these big iron buckets, can only see a pair of eyes, no matter which one they are, they all look exactly the same. It makes people look very tired of looking,
Looking to the left is also a big iron bucket, looking to the right is also a big iron bucket, and the current one is the right guard brought from the gods. It's a disgusting thing to fight them.
Putting Right Weiwei at the forefront was Zhou Shixin's idea. Zhou Shixin advocated that he would give the Tusi soldiers a thunderous blow at the beginning, and he drove to the front with the right guard, Li Zhongsi of course nodded, he seemed that since most of his subordinates said that it was good, then it would be like this. He came to search for land, not to suffer.
Looking at the big iron bucket in front of him, Hao Zheng'an spit bitter water in his mouth, these big iron buckets were made to fight the Turks, and he didn't want to use them, and now he understood why his father refused to rebel and become king. How to fight this, as soon as you retreat, I am afraid that it will become a mess of water, and when the time comes, your own people will step on your own people. More deaths.
The guards around Hao Zheng'an have already begun to lead the horses, and they are ready to run faster when they run later.
Tan Zhengkun has disappeared. He is a soldier who knows the soldiers, and he will not be able to run away after a while. Seeing this scene, Hao Zheng'an scolded: "What virtue." One of the leaders stepped forward and said, "My lord, are we going to step back in formation?" β
Hao Zheng'an looked up, and saw that the soldiers of the little toasts in front of him were much better than when Jiang Feng led the team to shoot indiscriminately just now, and if they retreated at this time, maybe the whole army would be in chaos for a while. It seems that you can still spell it. At the moment, he said: "Don't retreat, tell the head of the front commander that if the front few dare to retreat, they will all be cut off." Advance is not allowed to retreat. β
After the order was issued, the soldiers moved to the front row, and the formation of the small toast soldiers in front of them became more stable.
At this time, the military formation on the opposite side began to throw at the Tusi soldiers.
A meteor-like rain of arrows fell from the sky, falling in the formation of the native soldiers, making a heavier sound than the rain, behind the Mo Dao hand, is more than 5,000 people of archery troops, the strength and density of this arrow rain, far more than the strength of the cavalry harassment just now, only to hear the formation of the native soldiers let out a burst of screams, the card is full of arrows,
But arrows still entered the body through the shield, and at this distance, the javelins and hand axes of the toast soldiers came into play.
Hao Zheng'an was worried about the formation of the Tusi soldiers, and said loudly: "The overseers are optimistic, if anyone dares to retreat and kill them together, countless overseers will come forward to prevent the Tusi soldiers from retreating."
After countless arrows rained, the original dense formation, there were many small openings, the soldiers and horses of the court, fifty paces away, shot ten arrows, five thousand archers, all the arrows in the pot were shot, when the archers behind shot all the arrows, the archers retreated. And the front-line assault soldiers began to take their place.
After shooting all these arrows, the morale of the Tusi soldiers plummeted.
Xiang Sanwa is a smarter person in the Tusi army, he and his brother Xiang Dawa and Xiang Er do long-term work for the Tusi masters, they are standard local people, in addition to giving the toast masters all kinds of things, their family also has to do all kinds of things for the toast masters, the red and white ceremonies of the toast masters, the toast masters want to travel, the toast masters want to fight, they want to go to the brothers of the family.
At the moment, he is carrying his brother in front of his own house, Xiang Boss is the most honest, standing in front of his younger brother, the arrow that rained for a while just now, a person in front of the boss was frightened, and the shield was pushed forward a little, so the arrow shot in from the oblique plane and shot into the body of the boss. Xiang Boss's eyes were wide open when he died, and he muttered twice, to the effect that the crops in the field had not been harvested this year, Xiang San's eyes were full of tears, holding his brother's corpse, and his brother's corpse blocked the arrows shot down from the oblique plane for him, and each arrow shot at the boss's body, and the boss's body was about to beat, and the third brother couldn't remember his brother's corpse a few times.
The arrows finally stopped, and the soldiers and horses of the court on the opposite side stopped shooting arrows.
Xiang Lao San is not without killing people, the last time he fought with the court soldiers, the three brothers stood together, covered each other, the three of them were fine, Xiang Lao Er remembered that he knocked the head of the court to the ground with a hammer, and hit the helmet of the court general, all of them hit the sparks, that person is probably dead, he can be regarded as having killed someone, the head promised that this year's harvest of autumn grain can be a little less, and he can also transfer the largest to the second to the front. The chiefs bring the bravest to the forefront.
The figure of the brother was more than ten steps ahead, and Xiang Lao San could see Xiang Lao Er trying his best to shrink his body to resist those arrows, and Xiang Lao Er finally dodged the arrows for a while.
Xiang Lao San knew that the opposite court soldiers and horses would not shoot again after shooting this for a while, and then it would be a short encounter, when the time came, people were crowded, guns and knives were exchanged, the safest way was to cover each other, so that the chance of safety was great, the last battle, the three brothers of their own family covered each other, after the fight, they looked at it, except for a few small injuries on their bodies, none of the three people died, this time the three brothers were scattered, and Xiang Lao San didn't know how to be good. I don't know any of the people around me, so I can't say anything to cooperate.
The disgusting iron bucket came up from the other side, and the leader shouted: "Throw the javelin." "Xiang Er, together with the people around him, often threw the javelin on his back. Everyone didn't throw it together, but divided it into batches, otherwise everyone waved their hands in unison, and they couldn't poke a shot into their own necks.
The iron buckets on the opposite side were still moving forward unhurriedly, the guns made a "clanging" sound, and those iron buckets had a few white marks on their bodies, and very few people fell. A very few hit the feet, the neck, and it's no wonder that they are unlucky.
Someone in the front row threw hand axes again, facing those big iron buckets, Xiang Lao San actually felt that it was better to throw them with stones, because the stone axes seemed to have an effect, hitting the opposite iron bucket, making a "tom tom" sound. As soon as this thought entered his head, he couldn't stop, "What will happen if you throw them with a stone?" At this critical juncture, he wanted to concentrate, but the more nervous he was, the more he didn't listen to his own words, and he couldn't help but really try it, but when he saw the big iron bucket squeezed on the opposite side, he finally restrained himself from bending down and picking up the mossy stone under his feet.
The two sides are getting closer and closer, and the people on both sides can see the faces of the people on the other side, and the sweat in the hands of the third man comes out, and the Tusi soldiers all hold the weapons in their hands, because everyone knows, "We're going to do it, many of us are going to die here, I don't want to die." β
The officers and soldiers of the court on the opposite side gave an order, and the saber about one zhang long stood up, like a forest, but this forest is dark, as if it is still stained with oil, yes, it is oil, and the pig has been killed to the second child, which is an important reason why the first people are heavy to the second child and transferred him to the front. When a forest of knives is in front of his house, no one will be comfortable, and Xiang Lao Sanji is extremely uncomfortable.
Fighting a war is so boring and disgusting that I don't want to fight. This is what Xiang Lao San said to his heart.
The situation can only be described as one-sided.
The barrels swung their knives straight down. The formation of the Tusi soldiers retreated, and they kept retreating, and the people squeezed backwards, but fortunately, the iron buckets walked very slowly, and they had to take care of the formation and did not chase them, so the native soldiers did not care about the leather whip of the leader, and squeezed backwards.
Xiang Laosan only had a mess in his mind at this time, and he subconsciously moved forward, but the front was squeezed backwards. The flesh is grinding. The smell of sweat is disgusting.
Xiang Lao San saw his brother crowded in front, and he tried his best to swing the sickle in his hand, playing hide and seek with countless blades cut down from the world.
He managed to dodge many times. And the people around him are all dead, now, while he is retreating, he is squeezing backwards, if he doesn't squeeze, he will die, and only Xiang Lao Er is standing at the front. He was the one who lived the longest.
Finally, a long knife fell from the sky, to the second brother's hand and his body separated, the elder brother turned around, looking for the back, he did not know that the eldest brother was dead at this time, because the head man ordered them not to turn back, finally the elder brother found his brother, the two brothers looked at each other, before several long knives slashed him, the elder brother drank two words. "Run. β
Then my brother was slashed again by a long knife, and the blood flew into the mud, which was really dirty.
At this time, Xiang Laosan's mind finally woke up.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die for Master Toast. I want to live. β
In the bottom of Xiang Laosan's heart, he drank out the thought that he had hidden for a long time and didn't even dare to think about it. "Why do we want to sell your life, why do we want to squeeze you again and again. I can't stand it, you don't want to get any more benefits from me. β
An evil light poured out of Xiang San's eyes, and the head man who was scolding and pushing everyone behind was the source of his pain. For the first time, the scythe in the third general's hand slashed at the leader who squeezed him.
In the disbelief of the head man, Xiang Lao San ruthlessly pulled out the sickle that was not in the head man's chest, this head man, countless times with a leather whip to beat the natives, countless reasonable times to take away the harvest of the landowners, countless reasonable bullying of the natives, now, he can't believe that this group of honest natives dare to do it to himself.
"Run".
