Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 850
For three days in early October, Bianzhou was quiet inside and outside the city.

Xia Jun is still digging trenches, and Liang Jun is still defending tremblingly.

News came from the north that Zhu Quanzhong paid homage to the dead soldiers in Huazhou, claiming to avenge them.

There is news from the east that Liu Po ​​and Liu Zhijun fought a battle, and Liu Zhijun was defeated.Among the two Lius, it seems that Liu Po ​​is the stronger one.

The Zhongwu Army and Jianrui Army captured Weishi, killed the defender Zhu Youlun, and captured 2000 people.

The Weisheng Army marched northward along the Bian River, had collected Yongqiu County, and was heading for Chenliu.

The Tiande Army collected Suanzao County, Suanzaojin, Xuncheng and Lingchang surrendered one after another, and was marching towards Huazhou.

Zhu Zhen had already received the results of the Zhongmu War, and after learning that Zhu Quanzhong had retreated to Huazhou, she began to discuss matters of surrender.

There is good news everywhere, which is very reassuring.

The Tianxiong Army was ready, and Shao Shude mobilized a whole group of [-] infantry to seize the gate—the news from the city is very confusing, but the possibility of capturing the Zheng Gate is the greatest.

Zang Dubao, the envoy of the Tianxiong Army, recommended the first commander of the left wing. Shao Shude had no objection, and ordered them to recharge their batteries during the day and prepare for the fight.

He casually asked the commander's name, and Zang Dubao said it was "Wang Jiao".Shao Shude didn't have much impression of this name, Wang Jianji said casually that his father was Wang Quan, and he immediately remembered: when he was drinking with the village elders in Yinzhou, someone had inquired about Wang Quan's whereabouts.

Shao Shude remembered the name Wang Jiao.

Sometimes people need a little luck. Wang Jiao's luck is very good, and his life is likely to undergo earth-shaking changes.

Night gradually fell, covering the whole city.

At the time of Chou, a large group of soldiers were resting in the urn city near Liangmen.

The doorway was pitch-black and seemed to be bottomless.Xu Da, Dou San, and Li Si each led more than a hundred people, fully armed, and rushed all the way.After rushing into the gates of the cities, there was suddenly the sound of dense arrows piercing the air in the dark night.Immediately, the screams of the sergeant being shot by the arrow continued to resound, echoing endlessly in the city gate.

"The summer thief is coming!" a sergeant shouted through his throat.

"Hurry up!" Someone urged.

"It's not the Xia thief, it's the bastard of the Shenjie Army, they turned against each other."

"Give me my life, I'm against you too, don't kill me."

"Let me use your head."

The chaotic killing lasted for a while, until a military academy rushed into the crowd with a mace in his hand, shattering the last resistance.

"They are all my brothers, please forgive me!" someone cried.

There was no response, and with the last scream, the fighting in each doorway finally subsided.

"Crackling..." The hinges kept ringing, and the suspension bridge was lowered with a bang.

Liang Jun soldiers stationed in the camp outside the city and behind the sheep and horse wall were stunned. Is this going out of the city to attack at night?However, those with sharp ears heard the sound of fighting in the Wengcheng, and immediately reminded that someone rebelled and seized the gate, wanting to welcome the summer thieves into the city.

It was fine if he didn't remind, but as soon as he reminded, several soldiers disappeared in the darkness and left quietly.

The sound of orderly footsteps was already heard in the distance. The first commander of the left wing of the Tianxiong Army sent out a thousand soldiers, led by the commander Wang Jiao himself, and attacked the Liangmen.

Inside the city gate, Zhang Guibian was wearing heavy armor, bowed his bow and set up an arrow, shooting repeatedly, and the screams from the opposite side could be heard endlessly.

After shooting the arrow, he straightened up his rifle again, calling for more than a hundred soldiers behind him to charge forward.

A general like him, who was born and died, was really unstoppable, like a god descending from the mortal world, in the face of low morale and recruits who had only been in the army for more than two years.

The sergeant on the opposite side charged three times without breaking through the barrier.Seeing that the beam gate had been opened and the defenders in the urn city had been cleared out, they scattered and fled for their lives.

……

The fight near Liangmen caused great panic in the city.

At that time Zhu Youwen had already fallen asleep, and after being woken up by the servant, he pushed away his wife Wang's plump and slippery body, and got up in a hurry.

Mrs. Wang was a little panicked, her face turned pale.

Zhu Youwen didn't bother to comfort his wife anymore. After dressing up, he put on armor again and left the mansion under the guard of his own soldiers.

"Are you staying behind?" Zhang Lang, the commander of the guards, asked from a distance.

"Exactly!" Zhu Youwen replied loudly, "Have the soldiers and horses been assembled?"

"It's all here." Zhang Lang pointed to the large group of soldiers holding torches behind him, and said, "Don't gossip, it's important to calm the chaos."

Zhu Youwen didn't talk nonsense, and left the inner city with his own soldiers.

Before leaving, he arranged for his younger brother Zhu Yougui to guard the inner city.

Zhu Yougui is 14 years old and just got married this year, so he is not considered a child.There is no way for him to lead the remaining hundreds of guards to guard the inner city.

The residents of the Desheng Army shouted and neighed, and there was chaos.

They have more than [-] riders, and they are a powerful force. If you want to suppress the rebellion, your help is indispensable.

"General He, are the men and horses ready?" Zhu Youwen asked as soon as he came up.

He Delun's face was uncertain, but he quickly replied: "The soldiers are equipped with swords, guns and horse gear, and can attack at any time."

"Okay! Follow me quickly." Zhu Youwen said happily.

There are more than a hundred soldiers around him, and 500 people brought by Zhang Lang. If you add He Delun's Desheng Army, more than 2000 cavalry, it is enough to quell the rebellion-there may not be many people at the beginning of the rebellion Follow, act fast at this time.

The army marched towards the Weishi Gate in the south of the city, where the main force of the Guangsheng Army was stationed.

Unexpectedly, after walking a mere hundred steps, a rain of arrows hit the houses on both sides, and the guards walking in the front all fell to the ground.

Zhu Youwen cursed loudly, while looking for a place to hide, while secretly frightened.

How messed up is the situation in the city?How come there are sergeants walking around, and no one stops them?

"Who is in front? Staying here, still not putting down the equipment, pleading guilty?" Under Zhu Youwen's signal, a soldier bit the bullet and shouted.

"Whoosh!" An arrow was shot, and the soldiers fell to the ground on their backs.

There was another violent cry of killing from the street behind, and it seemed that thousands of soldiers were attacking together.

It turned out to be a front and rear attack!
Zhang Lang pulled Zhu Youwen away, allowing him to avoid the fatal arrow.

"Stay behind, there may not be many rebels in front. Let's charge together, or we can rush over and reach Wei's Gate." Zhang Lang shouted anxiously.

When the matter came to an end, Zhu Youwen also went all out, saying: "Kill!"

More than 2000 people stopped harassing the archers on the beams and rushed forward.

The shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, and many soldiers who were running slowly stopped running at all, and turned back to fight with the pursuers.

The one chasing after them was part of the Tianxing army, led by Hua Wenqi's nephew, who fought bravely and fought endlessly--they have never been so brave since they formed an army, which has to be said to be an irony.

More than [-] people after the break were quickly wiped out.The soldiers of Tianxing Army did not stop, they followed and pursued.

As for Hua Wenqi himself, he and Hu Zhen went to the Caomen in the east of the city, where they were attacking the gatekeepers.

Zhengmen, Liangmen, Caomen, Shao Shude probably didn't expect so many people to open the door for him in one night.People's desire to survive is too strong, and Zhu Liang's power is indeed at the end of his rope.

******
"Who is outside the city?" At the head of the inner city, Zhu Yougui boldly asked.

He couldn't stop cheering himself up. At the age of 14, he has already married and started a business, and he has also reached the age of fighting.A good man should make great achievements, and return with his body shrouded in horse leather.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, lest you be despised by the soldiers!

"Shenjie Army and Tianxing Army have turned against each other. I will be killed and scattered. I don't know where to go. Please let me enter the city." A sergeant cried outside.

There are more than a hundred people behind him, and they all begged after hearing this.

"No... no way!" Zhu Yougui said angrily.

He stood up straight, pointed the sword in his hand to the city, and said: "My Zhu family will not support you bastards. Hurry up to the Wei's gate, support my brother, and make amends. If there is any hesitation, tomorrow will definitely be executed."

"Let us in." The soldiers only begged.

"Get out!" Zhu Yougui waved his sword, becoming more and more annoyed.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the swing, an arrow came straight towards the door.He couldn't dodge in time, was shot in the mouth, and fell to the ground.

The defenders on the top of the city were suddenly in an uproar, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, at a loss.

The sergeant who was begging outside the city suddenly changed his face. Someone came over with several long ladders. Xie Yanzhang threw away his bow and carried a long gun, and went up first.

The sergeants clamored to keep up, and everyone scrambled to be the first.

Some of the sergeants at the top of the city insisted on resisting, while others dispersed.

Zhu Yougui is dead, and everyone has to lose their heads, so what's the use of fighting?It's better to run for your life.

The only remaining defenders at the top of the city were quickly killed and scattered. Xie Yanzhang kept walking, holding a long gun, and shouting loudly.

The sergeants could not keep up with him at all, and were left far behind.

As a result, a strange scene appeared on the streets of the inner city: a large group of soldiers were fleeing in front, and Xie Yanzhang was alone, chasing behind with a long gun, which made people dumbfounded.

Liang Wang's mansion arrived soon, and only three or four of the gatekeepers escaped.

Xie Yanzhang shouted loudly, stepped forward and stabbed one person to death.

The remaining three gritted their teeth and stepped forward, surrounding and killing them.

Xie Yanzhang didn't panic at all, he stabbed another one to death with his gun.Then he drew out the horizontal knife at his waist, and after a lot of trouble, killed the two of them.

The door was pushed open by him.

A guard who was in a panic bumped into him, and he took down a knife in his hand, and he was punished on the spot.

Soldiers from outside the palace chased after him, and they shouted "Xie Dutou" loudly.

Xie Yanzhang turned a deaf ear and continued to charge forward, killing two more guards along the way and beheading a servant who was trying to escape after stealing property.

More than a dozen soldiers rushed in, stood behind Xie Yanzhang, and looked at him with eyes like watching ghosts and gods.

One person killed Zhu Yougui with an arrow, went to the inner city first, and single-handedly held a gun, chasing and killing more than a hundred defeated soldiers.After rushing to Prince Liang's mansion, he killed seven guards in a row. This martial art is probably going to catch up with Yanzhou Zhu Jin, right?

"You don't have to worry about me, go and control the treasury, Duyu Housi, the military mansion, and Zhu Youwen's and Zhu Yougui's mansions." Xie Yanzhang ordered: "If any brothers come in from outside the city, they will call and guard together. There is no need for other places Tube."

"Obey!" A group of people left.

Only five or six sergeants remained behind Xie Yanzhang.

He led the people forward and headed for the backyard.

"General Xie?" Zhang Hui was wearing a tulle, standing in the courtyard, looking a little panicked, but still pretending to be calm and asked.

Xie Yanzhang looked away, saluted and said: "There are soldiers making trouble in the city, and the last general is here to protect the princess."

Zhang Hui glanced at the guard who died in front of the courtyard gate, her body trembling unconsciously, but she forced herself to calm down, and said, "Since General Xie is here, the palace must be safe and sound."

After all, he staggered back to the bedroom.

The eldest daughter-in-law Liu had tears in her eyes. When she saw her mother-in-law coming in, she nervously grabbed her hand and asked, "Is General Xie here to protect us?"

"It's just that we feel that we are rare goods to live in..." Zhang Hui sighed, caressing his daughter-in-law's beautiful face, and said: "In this world, it is not easy to live."
