Chapter 251 The Crisis of Xishan Camp

Chen Changbing's distinctive features are quite similar to Lu Xiangsheng's. Both of them are highly skilled in martial arts, and they like to charge forward personally, so they are quite handy in fighting small-scale wars like this.

Although Chen Changliang was inferior to Lu Xiangsheng in martial arts, Chen Changzhu had [-] elite cavalry with superb martial arts skills under his command, and their impact was even more powerful, even better than Lu Xiangsheng.

The Changping Army was the army guarding the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum, and because it was close to the border, it was quite capable of fighting.It's just that wars pay attention to rules after all, and the Changping army looting the property thrown by the rebels is in chaos. How can they deal with Chen Changling's cavalry raid?
Immediately, Chen Changbing led five hundred cavalry, like a sharp knife, sharply cut into the Dao Changping army, and immediately cut the chaotic army in half.

Chen Changbing killed the Changping Army, looked up, and saw the Changping Army's banner standing in front, and Zuo Liangyu and three or four hundred personal guards were commanding the battle under the flag, although from Chen Changbing's point of view, is this army still alive? Command, it's all the same chaos.

Chen Changbing knew very well that the Changping army was strong, even if they won this time, the Xishan camp would still be difficult to defend when Zuo Liangyu regrouped.Therefore, Chen Changbing shouted loudly, and shouted: "Zuo Liangyu is at the front, and all the soldiers follow me to attack and kill Changping's general soldier!"

The cavalry under Zhang Shun's command were deeply influenced by Liu Chengzhen's beheading of Shanxi Governor Song Tongyin, and they liked to assault the opponent's central army. Now Chen Changzhu led them to assault the officers and soldiers again, and they rushed forward like wolves and tigers.

Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but change his face. Since he participated in the encirclement and suppression of the peasant army, he hasn't fought a real big battle yet.How much time is just that you come and go, and each other wins and loses.

Now suddenly encountering a desperate person, Zuo Liangyu was terrified, and hurriedly led the soldiers under his command to turn around and run away.

It didn't matter if he ran away, he lost the banner of the Chinese army.Seeing that he couldn't catch up with this guy, Chen Changliang didn't chase him anymore, but ordered [-] cavalry to keep an eye on this guy, and at the same time ordered his soldiers to cut down the banner.

The Changping army was already in chaos due to the surprise attack by Chen Changzhu, but now seeing the flag of the Chinese army fell, there was no fighting spirit, two or three thousand officers and soldiers immediately dispersed.

Only then did Chen Changzhu lead his team to chase after him, and the Changping army who ran slowly were hacked to death by Chen Changzhu and others on the spot.Both sides chased and fled until the Changping Army hid in Lincheng County.Chen Changzhu hacked to death all the officers and soldiers who had time to run into the city in the future, and then retreated back to the camp flaunting his might.

After entering Lincheng County, Zuo Liangyu, who was still in shock, quickly sent his soldiers to the city wall, fearing that the rebels would take the opportunity to attack the city.It wasn't until Chen Changbing left that Zuo Liangyu breathed a sigh of relief.He hurriedly clicked on the soldiers under his command, and there were only two thousand soldiers left, and he wanted to cry for a while, but there were no tears.

It was only then that Zuo Liangyu realized how powerful the Xishan bandits were, and hurriedly wrote a letter to the commander-in-chief, Liang Fu, inviting him to come together to encircle and suppress the Xishan bandits.

The headquarter Liang Fu and Lu Xiangsheng were beaten miserable in Xishan, where are they willing to go?What's more, he heard that this person also had a conflict with Lu Xiangsheng, so he ignored him even more.

Zuo Liangyu had no choice but to write to Hou Xun for help.At that time, Hou Xun served as the right servant of the Ministry of War and supervised Changping.Because of the recommendation of Zhou Shipu, the servant of the household department, he led Zuo Liangyu's army to Huaiqing and Weihui.

This Hou Xun was originally Zuo Liangyu's benefactor. After arriving in Huaiqing Mansion, Hou Xun seldom interfered with Zuo Liangyu's actions, so that he could fully display his abilities, although Zuo Liangyu really had nothing too much to do. That's the big deal.

Hou Xun has a good reputation. According to news from somewhere, this person is going to be promoted again recently, so no matter who it is, he has to sell him.After Hou Xun found out about Zuo Liangyu and Lu Xiangsheng, he wrote to Lu Xiangsheng himself, saying: "Zuo Liangyu is young and energetic, so he is inevitably arrogant. I hope that envoy Lu Lian will not harbor ill-will. Now bandits and bandits are everywhere, robbery Looting the land makes the people miserable. Please ask Lu Lian to make state affairs the most important thing, and sell old people a thin face."

After Lu Xiangsheng received Hou Xun's letter, he couldn't laugh or cry.Judging from his age, Zuo Liangyu seemed to be several years older than himself, how could he be "young and vigorous"?
Fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng also knew that this was just Hou Xun's random excuse.To tell the truth, after Lu Xiangsheng turned his back on Zuo Liangyu, he might not have thought about Zuo Liangyu's jokes.If Zuo Liangyu's suppression of the bandits is frustrated, only he can take charge of the matter in the southern part of Zhili, and Lu Xiangsheng also has the heart to sit back and watch the success or failure.

It's just that Lu Xiangsheng is a person who does things after all, and since Hou Xun wrote the letter, Lu Xiangsheng still puts state affairs first.He took the opportunity to go down the donkey, and wrote a letter with Liang Fu, the commander in chief, and the counselor Kou Conghua, persuading them to march with Zuo Liangyu to encircle and suppress the bandits in Xishan.

Counselor Kou Conghua felt that Zuo Liangyu did not invite him, so he rejected Lu Xiangsheng's persuasion.And the commander-in-chief Liang Fu had a good relationship with Lu Xiangsheng, so he sold him a favor before agreeing to Zuo Liangyu's request.

Therefore, Zuo Liangyu and Liang Fu, the commander-in-chief, joined forces and led [-] soldiers and horses to march into Xishan again.

Hearing that Zuo Liangyu and Liang Fu had come, Chen Changbing personally led the cavalry to fight and harass him many times. He also took advantage of the small-scale battles, but he failed to defeat the two generals and had to retreat to the Xishan camp.

Fortunately, Zuo Liangyu did some "good deeds" before and "gifted" him more than [-] sets of armor. Chen Changbing took the opportunity to select more than [-] brave and strong men from among the young and strong, and used them for hand-to-hand combat in defending the city. for.

There are also a few small-caliber Western guns left by the "Chuangjiang" in this camp, which can also play a role in the battle of defending the city.

At first, Zuo Liangyu and Liang Fu only thought that only [-] cavalry dared to fight in Chen Changlan, and the rest were nothing to be afraid of, so they tried to take down the Xishan camp in one go.

As a result, Xu Ziyuan commanded Ding Zhuang in the battalion to throw a stone down, killing many officers and soldiers.In particular, the camp was located on a mountain, and the rocks were prepared early, and when they were dropped, they would bounce back and forth on top of other rocks, which made the officers and soldiers who came to attack the city really uncomfortable.

After all the officers and soldiers attacked, Li You and Ji Dan immediately led the newly formed [-] armored soldiers to make a surprise attack and drive the officers and soldiers down.

It turned out that Li Youben was a good martial artist, and Ji Dan was extremely powerful.Among the officers and soldiers, there were not many powerful generals, and the two charged forward, and no one could stop them.

This small-scale battle was originally about courage and the bravery of the generals. As a result, among the four people Zhang Shun stayed behind, three of them looked like fierce generals. How could the officers and soldiers resist?

The two sides competed for each other and went shopping for a day.Zuo Liangyu and Liang Fu were well-behaved generals anyway, so they had no choice but to encircle the Xishan camp first and ask people to cut down trees to build siege equipment.
