Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 881 Value and Desperation (Monthly Ticket Plus 23)

It is already the Spring Society Festival on February [-], but the spring plowing has not yet started.

Such is the case with war, and its negative effects are not only directly killing people, but also destroying the stable order.And this, often kills more people.

In Shouzhang County, Zhu Zhen listened carefully to the report of the staff Gaoshao.

"Zhu Quanzhong wants me to attack Fan County?" Zhu Zhen snorted coldly.

"Yes, he doesn't trust us." Gao Shao replied.

Distrust is normal. People in their 40s who have spent their whole lives struggling and rolling out of the pile of dead people will believe your empty words and come here in person?
Needless to say, a certificate of nomination is still required.

"Your Majesty has already set off with the whole army, and we will arrive in Yanggu tomorrow. General Tu and Ya Nei Army have more than 1 elite soldiers. How can Zhu Quanzhong's mob resist the enemy? Even the more than 3000 Wei people will probably be unlucky. "Zhu Zhen clapped the table, stood up, and unconsciously stroked the handle of the knife with her left hand, and said: "It seems that there is no hope, so I can only—"

Gao Shao nodded without any objection.

"Come here, invite Jiang Xuanhui." Zhu Zhen ordered.

After a while, Jiang Xuanhui, who lives in the post house, was invited over.

Zhu Zhen didn't show any malice yet, but Jiang Xuanhui's face was already pale, his eyes were rolling around, his whole body was stiff, and his walking posture was awkward.

"Judge Jiang, you and I are old acquaintances." Zhu Zhen sighed and said, "Since I'm old, I can't bear to let you die in an unclear way. Let's make it clear that Zhu Quanzhong won't come, so he just throws you here as a substitute for the dead. Did you really not notice it beforehand?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xuanhui gave up the last sliver of luck, knelt down without hesitation, and said, "Mr. Zhu, please spare my life."

"Right now, there are rumors everywhere in Yunzhou that I have surrendered Zhu Quanzhong. If I don't make you the leader of the crowd, what will outsiders think of me?" Zhu Zhen shook her head.

Jiang Xuanhui said anxiously: "Mr. Zhu can't kill me. My brother-in-law is Zhang Quanyi, and King Xia values ​​him very much. Mr. Zhu is smart, so he should understand."

In fact, what he wanted to say was that King Xia loved Zhang Quanyi's wife Chu Shi very much, and even let this woman bear two children for her.But for the sake of His Holiness, some things cannot be said so straightforwardly.In King Xia's heart, he must feel guilty towards Zhang Quanyi, and it might not be a good thing for you to kill me just like that.

Zhu Zhen hesitated slightly, but still shook her head and said, "Not enough."

In order to survive, Jiang Xuanhui also risked his life, saying: "I also know a lot of secrets about Zhu Quanzhong. Luo Hongxin wanted to use him as a helper to help his son Luo Shaowei become a military governor, but Zhu Quanzhong secretly made friends with General Wei, and he had a big plan."

"That's enough." Zhu Zhen waved her hand and said, "You don't need to tell me these things, you can talk to King Xia yourself."

Jiang Xuanhui was overjoyed, his whole body almost collapsed.

"Send an order to surround the posthouse, hunt and kill all but the postmen, and hang their heads at the gate of the city." Zhu Zhen ordered.

"Obey!" An officer of the holy army was soon ordered to execute.

"Zhu Quanzhong, haha!" Zhu Zhen laughed again, laughing so hard that tears almost flowed out, and he said, "It's really old and stupid, but also wicked. If it's the Zhu Quanzhong I know, he won't give up until he dies." .”

Jiang Xuanhui laughed dryly a couple of times.

Gao Shao twirled his beard and looked at Jiang Xuanhui with a smile.

In order to survive, people really can do anything.Zhu Quanzhong is really old, he doesn't know people well, and he employs people improperly, so he deserves to be unlucky.

******
The sky began to snow again.The north wind blows fiercely and the sky is freezing cold, but it cannot extinguish the flame of revenge in the hearts of the soldiers in Yunzhen.

General Tu has expanded to more than 2000 people, and the remaining [-] are soldiers from Yunzhen, more than half of them are surrendered soldiers, and nearly [-] are newly recruited brave—they are not without combat effectiveness, at least they have skills. I can still see it, obviously I usually practice hard, but I have no chance to serve as a soldier.

On the third day of February, the army arrived at the outskirts of Yanggu.

Looking at the villages that were almost in ruins, even the Sergeant Liang who had nothing to do with him shook his head greatly.

Why are those Huazhou people so ruthless?What's the benefit of killing people?No one farms, no one weaves, no one raises livestock, no one makes ironware, no one transfers supplies for you, how does a warrior live?We are not rogues, we are sitting tigers, doing this kind of thing is basically no different from Qin Zongquan, so we are looked down upon by others.

"Your Majesty, the thieves have already left the city." A scout came back to report after reconnaissance.

"Boys, the thieves, knowing our army is coming, not only don't run away, but dare to go out of the city to provoke, what do you think?" Shao Shude asked, pulling out his sword.

"Kill them!" King Xia even drew his sword. With such an obvious hint, what else is there to say?Just kill it!
"Kill!" More than 1 people rushed forward without stopping.

The cavalry who led the horses on foot mounted their horses again.This is the three thousand cavalry from the Iron Forest Army, led by Du Youyi envoy Xu Hao, who set off first and disappeared in the snow.

Shao Shude was surrounded by two commanders of Yin'anzhi, the left wing of the Tielin Army, and a part of the Yanei Army, with a total of nearly [-] people. Together with General Tu, they killed Xiangyanggu in a mighty manner.

Zhu Quanzhong was at the top of the city at this time.

In fact, according to his original intention, he was extremely unwilling to fight this battle.

His family knows his own affairs. Although his army has rapidly expanded to more than 2 people, the combat effectiveness has not increased but decreased compared to before, which caused him a lot of headaches.

The basics are actually more than 2000 riders for both the soldiers and the white riders, which is relatively elite.In addition, Wang Yanzhang's 7000 men are not bad, and it will take three years to form an army soon. Wang Yanzhang is also quite capable in training and running the army, and he will not collapse immediately when he enters the battle.

Based on these more than 9000 people, he joined the army in Huazhou Latin, and quickly expanded to more than [-]. However, he was immediately defeated by Xia general Cai Songyang, lost some of his troops, and fled into Weibo territory.

Then there was a rare opportunity for rectification, and he did spend a lot of effort.But after all, the time is still short, and no obvious results can be seen.

After going south to Yunzhou, some young men were forced to join the army, but these people were full of hatred. Although they also participated in burning, killing and looting, which gave them a taste of the sweetness, they were not reliable after all and could not fight tough battles.

He turned his attention to the Wei people who were lining up outside the city.

There are more than 3000 Bozhou warriors, all of whom are well-equipped troops. They look quite capable of bluffing, and they are indeed better than his men.But Zhu Quanzhong has been fighting for many years, and his eyes are so sharp, knowing that these Bozhou warriors have been plundered, and they have no desire to fight to the death.If it wasn't for being caught up and it was inconvenient to run away, they probably wouldn't be interested in fighting at all.

Zhu Quanzhong turned to look at his nephew Zhu Youliang.Zhu Youliang nodded, expressing his reassurance, and if something goes wrong, he will run away immediately.

He specially gathered a lot of fast horses in his hands, and he also had the old foundation of the former soldiers, so he could protect the king of Liang thoroughly.

Xia Jun's figure had already appeared on the field.

They came from the east of the city, mighty and mighty.It doesn't look very real in the snowstorm, but it seems that there are about 2 people, and there are many cavalry, and the morale is also high-nonsense, chasing and killing in the snow, can the morale be low?

The Xia people came from afar, and they lacked in physical strength. This battle——should be able to win, right?
Zhu Youliang looked at the Huazhou soldiers who were lining up in a row, and suddenly he had no idea.He called in his confidant, and asked him to check the horses and equipment again, and simulate the route of turning.

"Boom, boom, boom..." After a short rest, both sides were a little impatient, and beat the drums almost at the same time, ready to charge.

"Where is General Tu?" Shao Shude disregarded the dissuasion of his followers, and asked someone to raise his banner and drew his sword.

Yin Anzhi commanded Yang Hongyin to stare at the enemy on the opposite side, not daring to stop a step, and followed closely behind Shao Shude.

This is the second adventure since King Xia's Eastern Expedition.

The coach comes to the front line in person, is this the style used by Li Ke?
"The sudden general is here!" More than 1 people roared in unison.

"Kill!" Shao Shude pointed forward with his sword.

"Kill!" General Tu's soldiers rushed straight up like tigers down the mountain.

At the front is the martial artist from Siqianyun Town, with a face full of hatred and murderous aura, as if I am dead and want to die with you.

On the opposite side were more than [-] Bozhou warriors leading the battle, and the leading ten generals, Chen Zhong, felt something was wrong at first glance.But the needlepoints of the two sides are facing the wheat awns, and the rapid movement of the formation is aligned. At this time, it is impossible to retreat, so they can only bite the bullet and fight.

"Kill Wei Dog!"

"Return my grandfather's life!"

"Wei dog will die!"

Nearly 8000 people from both sides collided with each other, stabbed each other with spears, and added knives and axes.

Without any suspense, Wei Bowufu, who was full of burning, killing and looting, was directly defeated, and he almost didn't even stand a face-to-face meeting.

"Don't retreat!" Chen Zhong gritted his teeth and stepped forward with more than ten soldiers.

"Kill him!" More Yunzhen warriors noticed him, and dozens of spears stabbed him in an instant.

There were even people who didn't want to die, and went forward to hug Chen Zhong, letting the sharp sword cut on themselves.

"Crazy!" Chen Zhong tried to shake off the Yun Bing who was holding him, but failed.

Soon, countless knives and axes came to greet him, and his head was smashed and dented.

No matter how fierce the general is, he will never have any way out when he encounters such a desperate soldier. It is a high incense to escape his life--it is also a skill to escape alone, and it is not that simple.

The murderous Yun soldiers stepped forward bravely, like heavenly soldiers and generals, and smashed the seemingly incomparably tight formation of Bozhou soldiers.

The Wei people collapsed.

Isn't it worth working so hard to protect your own property and family?
Yun Bing carried knives, axes and spears, and continued to chase without stopping.

Many of them had actually reached a staged bottleneck in their physical strength, but under the spirit of excitement, no one stopped, no one felt tired, they just felt that killing one more Wei man would comfort the spirits of relatives and friends in heaven.

"It's so fierce..." Shao Shude had already boarded a high platform, and he was also very surprised to see this scene.

If the Yun soldiers were so desperate at the beginning, even if the Tianxiong army was transferred, they might not be able to eat it.

One man risked his life, several people tied their hands, the ancients were sincere and did not deceive themselves.

They both carry one head on their shoulders, they are both martial artists who have been trained for many years, and their equipment is similar, who is worse than the other?If we really want to mobilize the enthusiasm of the sergeants and make them dare to fight to the death, the combat effectiveness will have to be re-evaluated.

Fortunately, they were all PUAed by me, otherwise...

"Chasing! Don't let any culprit escape!" Shao Shude ordered the whole army to press up and chase the dead to the north.

"Your Majesty, this place is not too far from Dahe. If the thief flees back to Bozhou, do you want to chase him?" asked Kang Yanxiao, an envoy of General Tu.

"Chase! Even if you chase him to the city of Bozhou, you must kill all these bastards!" Shao Shude said with a glare at him.

"Yes." Kang Yanxiao sent an order without hesitation.

Going to Bozhou, what a boldness!But he always felt that King Xia seemed to have considered doing this a long time ago, and there must be something else involved, it's not that simple.
