Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1387 Sad News Comes
The fine rain fell down, and every step was slippery.

The neat formation has become a little loose, but it doesn't matter, a highly skilled army sometimes doesn't need such a strict formation.

The Bohai people on the opposite side stood very densely and moved slowly, but some people fell down from time to time.It was not because of the bow and arrow shot from the opposite side, but because of the high emotional tension, the muscles were stiff and he fell down.

The person who fell did not get up for a while, and the people from the rear team followed one after another.They were also highly nervous and didn't pay attention to their feet at all, or if they did, they couldn't avoid it for various reasons, so they fell to the ground with a clatter.

so repeated.

This looked very ridiculous, as if a solid iron egg was fired from the muzzle, landed on the grass and bounced a few times, plowing a bloody path in the army formation of the Bohai people.

The formations of the two sides are getting closer and closer.

The [-] elite soldiers headed by the Tielin and Tiande armies were very relaxed.

The Bohai people gulped down their saliva and were very nervous.

The armor on Xia Jun's body was very old, with traces of repairs everywhere, and faint dark red blood stains, which could not be scrubbed clean.But the overall maintenance is in place, and the protection ability is not bad.

The armor of the Bohai people is bright and bright, and it is spotless, but if you look closely, you can see that there are many places of rust.It doesn't look like it's worn often and doesn't look good.

Xia Jun's hands holding the epee and long lance were strong and strong, but slightly relaxed.They know how to distribute their physical strength very well, and this meeting has not yet reached the time of explosion.

The body of the Bohai man was stiff, and the knuckles holding the weapon had turned white, and they could not be broken apart.His eyes were fixed on the front, and he was so nervous that he couldn't even hear the officer's password.

At a distance of [-] steps, Xia Jun only stopped twice, and soon the whole team was completed and continued to move forward.

The Bohai people stopped for as many as six times, the whole team was in a mess, and even the officers had to beat and scold them to wake up the fearful sergeant.

The rain continued, and the two sides were within twenty paces.In such weather, everyone did not use bows and crossbows, and fought hand-to-hand to determine the outcome, which was fair and just.

The beating of the drums that had been ringing ceased.

Xia's soldiers stopped almost at the same time.Everyone's expressions became serious, and after a little team formation, they silently adjusted their spirit and body to the most comfortable state.

The sharp sword was out of its sheath, and the long lance pointed forward.The tall and strong body is full of explosive power, which can be 100% stimulated at any time and rush towards the enemy.

The Bohai people also stopped, but not completely.

Some people are like zombies, turning a deaf ear to the golden drum and continuing to stagger forward.

Some people slammed on the brakes to stop, but their feet slipped and they fell to the ground.

Some people stopped and called Paoze anxiously, almost covering up the officer's password.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Liuqian Xia soldiers roared three times.

Bo Haibing was startled, some even wanted to turn around and run away.

Then, under their terrified gazes, the dark army of Xia Bing pressed forward.

The rain suddenly became heavy, and the raindrops like soybeans hit the top of the leaves, making a crackling sound.

This small battle can't stop the murderous warrior.

They are not even afraid of the rain of arrows, but are they afraid of the rain from the sky?

"Zombies" directly turned into logs...

Xia Bing rushed in front of them, brandishing his epee.One, two, three... Rows of logs fell down without causing any hindrance.

The noise suddenly sounded.

The instinct of survival released a large amount of adrenaline, and Bo Haibing's body was no longer stiff. They raised their weapons high and threw...

The rout broke out in an instant.

Bohai Navy officers desperately stopped the fleeing crowd.

The Left and Right Mengbi Army, the Left and Right Shence Army, the Left and Right Xiongwei Army, the Left and Right Black Guard Army, the Left and Right Guard Army in the South, the Left and Right Guard Army in the North...the Shangjing Jingying Army is here, but they will collapse at the touch of a button.

Yes, they knew that most of the ten guards of the imperial army were recruits who had been in the army for less than a year.Veterans have even died more than once, but they still have great expectations.

This is Jingying!Even the new recruits are recruited from the upper capital from a clean and good family, don't they have the determination to sacrifice their lives for benevolence and serve the country loyally and bravely?Not even as good as the local army can fight!

No one could understand their desperate and desolate state of mind. The brown waves rushed towards them, and Xia Bing used his skilled killing skills to reap human lives with ease.

Even in this kind of one-sided massacre, they did not procrastinate at all, their movements were concise and quick, and they did not waste any excess energy. They tried to kill the enemy in the most effective way, and then moved away from the lifeless corpse and let it fall on the muddy water. among.

The tide was unstoppable, and the Bohai Forbidden Army fled.

Fu Cunshen was very surprised on the temporary high-rise building on the west side of Huhan Sea.

He knew that the Bohai people were bullied by Khitan badly in the past, and the army was annihilated by the establishment, which caused heavy losses.But isn't this recruiting recruits?Why can't you stand up to a face-to-face meeting?
In the battle of Wukang Town, Shi Pu came out in full force, [-] soldiers and horses were defeated by Liang Jun, and the main force was wiped out.But in the next few years, he actively recruited new soldiers and repeatedly fought with Liang Jun. The main force was wiped out two or three times, and he continued to recruit new soldiers. He persisted in this way for several years. The defeat in the war was also due to successive years of floods, the people fled, and the army had no food. It was really impossible to persevere.

The recruits' fighting will is so poor?Martial arts so bad?

The fact that the common people have no fighting power, and such a slack in armaments really opened his eyes.

Of course, Fu Cunshen has never heard the famous saying of the later Yelu Deguang before he left: "I don't know that it is difficult for Chinese people to control this!"

His father, Yelu Abaoji, never made such an evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the people in Bohai.

In fact, this is also the normal state of the people in most dynasties in history. The gang of unscrupulous people in the late Tang Dynasty were a special case.

"There is no need to run in a row, use the team as a unit, and pursue freely." Fu Cunshen decisively revised the order.

"Obey." The messenger immediately went to deliver the order.

Free pursuit, this really underestimates people.Gein, you lined up to chase, obviously you can't chase fast, you can only make people escape.

But this will be a lot of fighting, and the generals all have a principle: chase up to [-] steps, and then stop and regroup.Otherwise, you may suffer a big loss.

This is the lesson summed up by the blood and tears of the predecessors - the enemy is defeated, but he may not be defeated for thousands of miles.

There was no problem in the immediate pursuit.

Fu Cunshen looked at the high-rise building for a long time, he was relieved, and even had the leisure to ask around: "What is the saint doing?"

"I heard that he is persuading Nongsang."

"Still studying wild products, every day mushroom stew."

"I heard that his old man took his agronomy students across the mountains and mountains to hunt."

"What hunting? Don't talk nonsense. It's recording the beasts in the mountains, which will be useful in the future."

"I also went to the river to fish. I heard that several rare fish in the Central Plains were renamed."

"Enough!" Fu Cunshen stopped his subordinates from arguing, and said, "A sage does great things, and it is enough for me to wait for the rough work of marching and fighting."

"Yes, the saint has been fighting for 30 years. My dear, I was just born 30 years ago."

"I also grew up listening to the stories of the sages going all over the world."

"Haha! I'm from Wulan County, Huizhou. If there is no saint, I'd still braid my hair in front of my face."

"You can't. I met a saint in the martial arts hall, and I learned a few tricks."

"Look at your embarrassment, when will you pay back the two money you owe me?"

……

"Send the good news to the sage." Seeing that the Bohai army was defeated and even Huzhou was unwilling to defend, Fu Cunshen went downstairs, preparing to personally supervise the army to enter the city, and then rushed to Bohai to Beijing.

******
After the news of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Huhanhai came back to Beijing, the monarchs and ministers in Bohai were in a mess.

First, there were rumors that someone was going to release Da Shuxian, make him the new king, and then invite him to surrender.

The lord of the Bohai Sea, Da Chiu Zhuan, panicked and rushed to the palace with the Tianmen Army loyal to him, beheading Da Shuxian.

Looking at Uncle Wang who died peacefully, the irritability in Da Chi Zhuan's chest increased instead of diminishing.

Then there was news that Wu Zendu had been released from prison and fled to the outside of the city. Da Jianzhuan rushed to the prison again, and he was relieved to see Wu Zendu sitting in it well.

Wu Zendu was also very calm, even too calm.

He looked at the head in the hands of Da Jian Zhuan, with a look of sadness on his face, and sighed: "Your Majesty has caught the trick."

Da Chi Zhuan was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What does Wu Xiang mean?"

"King Dongping has fought for the imperial court all his life. Although he won less and lost more, he was also loyal and never had the slightest dissent. If His Majesty is punished for his innocence, he will lose the hearts of the people." Wu Zendu said with a long sigh.

What he meant was obvious. Although Da Shuxian didn't fight very well, his prestige in the army was not low, and he also made good connections locally and even was quite popular among the clan.If you kill him, what will the generals of Zhufu prefecture think?
Taking a step back, they would not be alienated because of this, but the loss of a charismatic clan is not a good thing in any way.

The Xia army is coming fiercely, and Bohai has been defeated repeatedly. Once things go wrong and Wang Jing is broken, someone must organize a rebel army to continue to resist, right?Fortunately, you helped them cut off a potential leader of the rebel army directly.

Da Chi Zhuan's face turned pale when he heard the words, and then he was furious, and scolded: "The old thief is talking nonsense! How could I be wrong? Da Shuxian's domestic slave has long been recruited. He has contacted the envoys of the Xia people. He also sent gifts out of the city, but never reported to the imperial court."

Wu Zendu shook his head and sighed, and said: "Bohai is a small country of the Tibetan state. It is wrong to contact the envoys of the Shang Kingdom privately, but if you really want to talk about it, what is the big deal? Does your majesty really think that King Dongping has no chance to escape? He wants to leave, but he doesn't." People can stop it, even opening the city gate at night is no problem. Your Majesty really did something wrong."

"Boom!" Da Jianzhuan kicked Wu Xingdu over.

Wu Zhengdu rolled in the haystack, arched in pain.

"You old bastard, have you ever had contact with the Xia people? Are you about to surrender?" Da Chi Zhuan asked with a ferocious face.

Wu Zhengdu didn't answer, just coughed non-stop.

"Old stuff!" Da Jian Zhuan kicked a few more hard times, and then calmed down.

Wu Zendu coughed a few more times, looking at the ceiling of the cell, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Hmph!" Da Xue wrote out of the prison cell and said, "Watch out for this thief, don't let him escape."

"Your Majesty, Wu Guangzan, the son of Wu Zendu, is an official in Xia Kingdom..." Tianmen Army General Shen Zongtai said in a low voice.

Da Chi Zhuan hesitated for a long time, a fierce look came to his face, he gritted his teeth, nodded slightly, and strode away.

Shen Zongtai waved his hand, and the sergeants rushed up, helped Wu Zangdu up, and strangled his neck with a bowstring.

Wu Zhengdu struggled desperately, feces and urine poured out, and finally became silent after a long time.

"Go raid the house!" Shen Zongtai said with a grin.

The sergeants' eyes lit up and they were very excited.

When Da Jian came out of the prison, when he saw the panicked crowd on Yujie, all his ruthlessness and courage melted away on the spot like ice under the scorching sun.

His face turned pale again.

The newly recruited [-] forbidden troops in the first battle of Huhanhai were all wiped out, and few of them came back.Now there are only [-] Tianmen troops in Shangjing, and they are not enough to defend the city, let alone defeat Xia Bandit.

How to solve the current crisis?Da Kao Zhuan really has no clue.

Perhaps, what Pei Qiu said was correct at the beginning, should he hunt Dongping Mansion in the north?

But news also came from the north that Bozhou was broken, and Xia soldiers continued to move southward, pulling out several strongholds.

Or go to Salbin Mansion, and then escape to Japan by boat?It's also dangerous.What's more, the guards of Shangjing City ran away without guarding, what face does he have to be a king?What do the officials and generals who are still resisting everywhere think?
Da Kao Zhuan hesitated, not knowing what to do.

He quickly returned to the palace in sorrow.When Queen Gao saw that he was still holding a human head in his hand, her face turned pale with fright.

Da Chi Zhuan subconsciously threw the head away, but seeing that it was not far away, he stepped forward and kicked it into the back of the flower bed.Only then did he stumble forward, holding the queen and crying bitterly.
