Chapter Ninety-Three: The Gun Shoots the First Bird! Wen Zhong's army attacked Su Hu
While Zhang Zixing was carefully cultivating the Yellow Emperor's Heart Sutra and Xuanyuan's Dragon Control Technique, Tailing's 100,000 troops also entered the Jizhou territory, and finally camped ten miles away from Jizhou City.
There was already a Jizhou scout who flew to report to Su Hu, and Su Hu was against him, so he naturally made all the preparations for battle, and asked: "Which way is the prince who is the commander?"
The scout replied, "The boss is the Taishi Wenzhong." ”
Su Hu's face changed, he lowered his head and was silent, and only said in a half-loud voice: "I don't want the Son of Heaven to send Master Wen here!"
As soon as the generals heard the prestige of the Taishi, they were all silent, only Su Hu's eldest son, Su Quanzhong, stepped forward and said: "As the saying goes, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it." Although Wen Taishi is famous, he is already a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he is old and no longer has the courage of the past. My father is in the prime of life, and the elite soldiers under his command are like clouds, so I forgive you for hearing that Zhong is afraid!"
"How can Wu'er be so light on the enemy!" Su Hu shouted: "You are young and ignorant of things, conceited and heroic, how do you know how powerful Master Wen is! This Taishi is proficient in martial arts, proficient in the art of war and strategy, and is also a subordinate of the sect, Xiaochang Xuanli, reused by three generations of kings, and has been conscripted for many years, and his prestige is incomparable. Now we are sitting in Jizhou, although we are waiting for work, but we must also be cautious in everything, if there is a half-point difference pool, there will be a disaster of destruction!"
Su Quanzhong was reprimanded by his father, he didn't dare to make a sound, bowed his head and retreated, everyone was depressed, and suddenly heard a report: "Zheng Lun, the grain supervisor, is coming to transport grain, and he is waiting for orders outside the tent." ”
Su Hu summoned Zheng Lun to enter, and sighed: "If you have no plan to retreat from the enemy, although this food comes, it will be useless." ”
After Zheng Lun finished delivering the grain and grass, he asked: "The last general heard that the prince and the marquis were anti-business. The heart is in danger, and the starry night supervises the grain and rushes back. I don't know how the prince will win or lose?"
This Zheng Lun has outstanding martial arts, is talented, and has learned different arts, and has always been jealous of Su Hu, and is not allowed to be reused, only as a grain supervisor in the rear, and has no military power.
Now that Wen Taishi's army is pressing, Su Hu has the intention to use Zheng Lun to resist for a while. His eyes rolled, and he said with a worried face: "The Son of Heaven is mediocre, listens to Fei Zhong's slander, and insists on going his own way." violated the ancestral teachings of Cheng Tang, shook the foundation of the princes without authorization, and made the heavens angry and resentful. I was irritable for a while, and issued the words of 'never going to business', and today I heard that Taishi led an army of 100,000 to attack Jizhou, and all sides were afraid. That Wen Zhong is the god of the great merchant army, powerful in all directions, and none of the generals is an opponent. In the end, there is only one way to lose. Although there are 800 princes in the world, there is no place for me to protect myself! Why don't you kill your wife and children first, and then kill yourself. Don't make the world and future generations make fun of it. You will be able to pack up and throw it elsewhere, and I, Su Hu, can give away a plate of money shells, and I will not stop it. ”
After Su Hu finished speaking, he couldn't help but cry. The corner of his eye was looking at Zheng Lun's reaction. Zheng Lun had a very strong temperament, and when he heard this, he shouted: "Is the prince drunk today, is he lost, he is stupid, why do you say such unbearable words! Don't say that it is Wen Taishi, even if it is Xibo Jichang." Donglu Jiang Huan Chu, Nanbo E Chongyu, a total of 800 town princes, all went to Jizhou, and they were not in the corner of my Zheng Lun's eyes. Why bother to think of yourself as humble and weak? The last general has received great grace from the prince since he was a child, and after the return of the West Kunlun art, he was again Hemonti. The last general is willing to follow the work of dogs and horses and help the prince retreat from the enemy. ”
Su Hu deliberately frowned, and said to the generals: "General Zheng has worked hard to urge food, could it be that Lu encountered some evil spirit, and talked so nonsense. And not only the princes of the eight hundred towns in the world, but only this Wen Taishi, who is a master of the sect, is a master of the sect, the preaching techniques are shocked, the gods and ghosts are shocked, the chest is hidden, and the ten thousand people are invincible, what are you capable of, how can you despise this person?"
Zheng Lun really couldn't stand the agitation, and after hearing this, he pressed his sword and shouted: "The prince is above, and the last general will not capture Wen Zhong to see him, and put the head of the item in front of the generals!"
Su Hu saw that Zheng Lun was about to rush out of the tent to meet the enemy, and hurriedly said: "Wait! I am deeply relieved that the general has such a determination.
But the enemy forces are fierce and invincible. I have a plan in my heart, and then the general will have his own time to show his might. ”
Su Quanzhong couldn't help but ask, "I don't know what my father's plan is?"
Su Hu glanced at Su Quanzhong, as if he was annoyed that his son was so uncontrollable, and when he saw the eager eyes of the generals, he showed a confident appearance, and said: "The enemy army is coming from afar, and it must be tired of saddle horses, and the generals are tired. ”
Zhao Bingzan, the first deputy general, said: "The prince and the marquis have a great plan! You can send a Biao army, take advantage of its unpreparedness, take advantage of its unpreparedness, the rank of the person, the horse picks the bridle, secretly rob the camp, and kill the Wen Taishi There is not a piece of armor left, so that he also knows that my Jizhou soldiers and horses are powerful!"
Su Hu nodded and said: "This is exactly what I want! Zhao Bing, I will order you to lead 3,000 elite cavalry and rob the camp at the beginning of the shift; Su Quanzhong will lead another 2,000 troops and horses to ambush separately, and after Zhao Bing has entered the enemy camp, he will rush in from the rear camp and burn all the enemy's grain and grass; Zheng Lun will lead 3,000 soldiers and horses in his headquarters to cover up and kill the fleeing enemy, and be ready to meet the two generals. If this plan is successful, Jizhou should be worry-free!"
The three generals were ordered, and each prepared nothing.
At night, Zhao Bing secretly transferred his men and horses out of the city and secretly marched towards the Shang army camp, while Su Quanzhong's military horses took a detour to ambush, and Zheng Lun led 3,000 crow soldiers from his headquarters to respond.
At the time of the first shift, Zhao Bing got the torch as a signal, and immediately shouted together, three thousand elite cavalry, straight to the enemy camp.
After the three thousand elite horsemen rushed into the camp, they found that there was no one in the tents
There were shouts of killing all around, and they were surrounded by a large number of military horses, and one of them came out, this female general was dressed in a vessel, wearing a silver crown of hair, holding two swords, and she was very beautiful.
"I am rebelling against the general Gao Lan Yingye!" The female general shouted at Zhao Bing: "Wait for the clown to jump off the beam, dare to sneak attack and rob the camp!"
Zhao Bing knew that it was difficult to be fortunate today, so he turned his heart sideways, and he didn't answer, and with a swing of his long-handled big knife, he killed Gao Lanying. Gao Lanying was not in a hurry, dodged a few knives from his life, and held the knife bar with a single knife, at the moment when the two horses were staggered, the delicate body was slightly sideways, and the other knife slipped diagonally, making a solution, and slashing it upwards along the knife bar, and suddenly cut off the five fingers of Zhao Bing's right hand holding the handle of the knife. Ten fingers connected to the heart, Zhao Bing was in pain, and was about to turn the horse's head and run away, but was caught up by Gao Lanying, and then killed with a knife, and soon after, the three thousand elite horsemen in the accompanying area were also killed.
Su Quanzhong, who went to Houying to burn grain and grass, was also ambushed, and the leaders were led by Wen Taishi's disciples Ji Li and Yu Qing. To the surprise of the two, Su Quanzhong not only did not flee timidly, but instead killed him head-on. Su Quanzhong has always been responsible for his martial arts, and when he heard that the Taishi was powerful, he had already held back his strength, although he was ambushed today, he was not afraid, and he had the heart to kill the enemy general with his martial arts.
Su Quanzhong shook the silver halberd in his hand, and used the martial arts he practiced on weekdays, although Ji Li had to be taught by Wen Zhong, but what he learned was mainly based on the art of war, but he was not the best at martial arts, and was killed by Su Quanzhong in a cold sweat, Yu Qing saw that the situation was not good, and he waved his spear to fight two against one. Su Quanzhong shook his spirits, the halberd was like a raging storm, and for a while, there were halberd shadows in all directions, completely suppressing Ji Li and Yu Qing.
Su Quanzhong glanced at the flaw, shook a halberd towards Ji Li, and then turned towards Yu Qing like lightning, Yu Qing couldn't dodge, hit the thigh, and fell off the horse. Su Quanzhong was about to take Yu Qing's life, but he was entangled by Ji Li, Yu Qing quickly grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, sprinkled it into the air, and escaped with the technique of soil escape.
Su Quanzhong even killed Jili, and when he led the crowd to break through to the gate of the back camp, he suddenly saw a horse like light smoke in front of him, and he couldn't help but be taken aback. He has a long knife in black armor, with a mighty appearance, and a black horse riding under his crotch, and a strange little sarcoma growing on the horse's head.
"I am the rebel vanguard officer Zhang Kui, Su Quanzhong, and I will not dismount and surrender!"
"Nameless, suffer death!" Su Quanzhong defeated Ji Li and Yu Qing, where to put Zhang Kui in his eyes, and rode towards Zhang Kui. Unexpectedly, Zhang Kui's horse was unexpectedly fast, and in a blink of an eye, it was in front of Su Quanzhong's eyes, and the long knife in his hand swept away, cutting off Su Quanzhong's helmet. Su Quanzhong was suddenly bluffed, where did he dare to underestimate it, show what he had learned in his chest, and be with Zhang Kuidou.
Su Quanzhong, who was surrounded, had no intention of fighting, and the halberd method was gradually chaotic, and he had the intention to use a "return horse gun" when he was defeated, but he was shocked by the speed of the dark horse and did not dare to use it.
Fortunately, Zheng Lun, who was receiving outside, arrived in time, and the two sides fought a scuffle, and the Jizhou army fought and retreated, and was finally defeated in the city. When Su Hu learned that the camp robbery failed, he broke Zhao Bing again, and he was depressed and regretted.
In the main camp of the merchant army, Wen Zhong was full of praise for Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying: "The virtuous couple are really good! I can't imagine that there is such a great talent in just one Chi County, if it weren't for Your Majesty's insight, I would have almost missed two famous generals!"
Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying said a few words modestly, and they were really grateful to the Son of Heaven for his kindness. Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying are talents specially discovered by Zhang Zixing, although these two people are not high in official positions, their skills are very strong, and Jiang Ziya's capture of the five passes was like a bamboo, but they were blocked by the Chi County guarded by the couple, and also damaged the "Five Mountains" in the mainland, including Huang Feihu and Chongheihu, and even Deng Chanyu and Tuxingsun were killed by the couple. Later, it was Yang Jian who used the technique of change to destroy Zhang Kui's mount, the one-horned black smoke beast, and used a poison scheme to kill Zhang Kui's mother, which made Zhang Kui feel confused, and finally died with his wife Gao Lanying under the combined attack of Yang Jian, Wei Hu, Lei Zhenzi, Yang Ren, Nezha and others, and the strength can be seen.
This time, Zhang Zixing asked the two of them to follow Wen Zhong to conquer Su Hu, in addition to considering the importance of the expedition itself, it also created conditions for the promotion of the two in the future. The ancients attached great importance to the kindness of knowing and promoting, especially Zhang Zixing appointed the two as the Son of Heaven, and deliberately named Zhang Kui's mother as a high-ranking lady, enjoyed the fortune, and lived in Chaoge Nafu, which made the couple make up their minds to swear to repay Jun's grace.
"Although today is a victory, but it has not hurt the root of Jizhou, the virtuous couple will go to rest first, and tomorrow they will exterminate the rebels, and they will rely on the ability of the two. ”
Zhang Kui was well aware of the prestige and Taoism of the Taishi, and saluted: "How dare the last general's skills be able to succeed in front of such a master as the Taishi!
Wen Zhong was relieved and said: "I will wait for the generals to be united, and the three armies will die, and the big break in Jizhou is just around the corner!"
