Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 343 Lead the snake out of the hole
Under the city of Xingping County, the Fengxiang army still went out of the city to fight against the Guiyi army, but to be honest, they were not as good as He Chuan's rebel army.

At least these rebels still have the temptation to loot Chang'an. Everyone thinks about the golden mountains and silver mountains and beautiful girls in Chang'an City, and they still have the strength to fight.

But Fengxiang's army didn't have the heart to do this anymore. They had no grievances with the Hexi army, and they wouldn't get much benefit if they fought hard, so they wouldn't fight hard at all.

More than [-] people went out of the city to line up, and it was seen that the Guiyi Army could step on the drums in order, and that there were more than [-] sets of armor in front of them.

Immediately these Fengxiang troops quit, and everyone clamored under the city.

They estimated the fighting power of the Hexi Guiyi Army, and then asked Li Congzhao to reward them.

Big reward!
At least put it to the point where they feel that it is not a loss to fight with such a powerful army.

Li Congzhao's teeth were sore, these dogs really dare to speak!A full [-] guan!
Of course it can't be given, the rewards alone cost [-] guan in one battle, then his Li family should not be some kind of Qi Wang, some kind of Jiedu envoy, he would go bankrupt if he fought two battles, he might as well go to Kaifeng and Luoyang and become a rich man.

After the reorganization of the Guiyi Army was completed, and even the camel whirlwind guns were set up, the two sides discussed and Li Congzhao gave [-] guns.

That's fine too!
The soldiers and generals below thought for a while, and gave five thousand guan, and the soldier would fight five thousand guan!how much is consider many?Mosquitoes are meat too!

The good thing is that we are not in the Song Dynasty now. If it was the Song Dynasty, it would not be enough to just give rewards verbally. Soldiers will go to war only when they see cash.

But when these military masters were ready to fight five thousand times and came forward, the situation suddenly changed.

Before the bow and crossbow shooting started, the Guiyi army on the opposite side pulled out dozens of whirlwind cannons.

A slamming of stones and a cup of tea cost hundreds of people from the Fengxiang Army.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalry interspersed to the two wings, and after the harassment, they dismounted and shot at heavy armor, specifically picking out places where Fengxiang's conversion was not effective.

The Fengxiang Army, who felt that they were only planning to fight five thousand battles, suddenly lost their temper.

Fortunately, they were arrayed under the city, so there was no time to turn around and run.

So this muddle-headed battle only lasted for a quarter of an hour, more than [-] Fengxiang troops left more than a hundred corpses, and went back to the city in desperation.

. . . .

Zhang Zhao rode his golden second-generation sweat horse, wearing a golden helmet and armor that had not been used for a long time, and matched with the diamond mask on his face, it was quite mighty.

I, Zhang Sikong, immediately went outside the moat to squeeze the persimmons, and pointed at Li Congzhao at the top of the city with a long halberd in his hand.

"Li Congzhao, our two armies have never had any enmity, and today we are fighting because of your brother's unkindness.

Come down, fight me for [-] rounds, if you can win the long spear in a certain hand, you will retreat immediately, so you don't need to hurt your lives! "

It has to be said that Zhang Zhao also made a move that fits the temperament of warriors in this era very well.

These martial lunatics sometimes pay attention to the basic law when fighting wars. This kind of conflict of interests is purely a grudge between the two generals. Fighting is their favorite solution.

So as soon as Zhang Zhao finished speaking, no matter if it was the Guiyi Army outside the city or the Fengxiang Army inside the city, there were cheers everywhere, as long as they didn't go up to die by themselves, such excitement would not be in vain.

However, Li Congzhao on the top of the city is embarrassed!
His father, Li Maozhen, was quite fierce, but in their generation, even though they have acquired some martial arts, they are the second generation of power!There is not much perseverance to practice martial arts at all.

Practicing martial arts is hard work, practicing in the summer and winter in the winter, how can you be at home, pretending to be reading, but in fact you are fighting cocks and dogs, and find a few beautiful maids to drink for fun.

Therefore, Li Congzhao and his brothers are all said to be elegant, good at drinking, good at wine, and good at playing.

It can be said that this is a standard son of a wealthy family. Martial arts training is just following the trend and showing off his bravery. He usually just brags about it. If he really wants to single out a tough guy like Zhang Zhao, hehe!
Li Congzhao twitched his cheeks. He only looked at Zhang Zhao's size and equipment, and his dummy was the enemy of ten thousand people. No matter how he looked at it, he was not a good match.

The confidants around him hurriedly said: "In the past, the Overlord of Western Chu invited Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to fight, and Gaozu played with someone who was good at archery. Now it is possible!"

Li Congzhao was overjoyed immediately, but unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, no one volunteered.

When everyone is stupid?Just give five thousand guan and still want to go down and fight a fierce man like Zhang Sikong one-on-one?

Li Congzhao had no choice but to cover his face and retreat from the city wall. Seeing Li Congzhao's behavior, the surrounding Fengxiang army also withered, and 7000 people guarded the city tightly, allowing Zhang Zhao to yell and curse outside.

What Zhang Zhao wants is this effect, that is, to prevent them from going out of the city.

Since it was already the end of Shenshi in the afternoon (four o'clock in the afternoon) when the city was besieged, after scolding for a while, it was almost dark.

Both sides died down, but they didn't take it too seriously, because 7000 people were guarding the city, and there was no shortage of food or water, and the Guiyi Army only had [-] people, so they wouldn't be foolish enough to attack the city.

But on the second day, Zhang Zhao was still wearing a golden helmet and mask to challenge, which made the Fengxiang Army on the top of the city uncomfortable.

You challenged yesterday, but Li Congzhao didn't dare to take up the challenge, that is cowardly and surrendered, but you still come today, which is a bit dishonest.

Moreover, the Guiyi army actually began to build camps outside the city and build siege equipment. This is going to die!

As a result, on the third day, Zhang Zhao still challenged at the base of the city, but the construction of the Guiyi Army's fortress was very slow. Although people could be seen walking around, the progress was not much.

The Fengxiang army in the city was numb, and while despising Zhang Zhao for not teaching martial arts, they discussed which army would be able to go out of the city and win if they came back tomorrow.

But on the fourth day, the golden-armored men who came to challenge outside the city disappeared, and the Guiyi Army's slow-moving camp also disappeared. Li Congzhao was startled and hurriedly asked his confidantes.

"Has the messenger who sent the military report to Wugong returned?"

The confidant was also stunned for a moment, and his face turned pale immediately, "There is no news for three whole days."

"Quickly send people to check outside the city. These Hexi people have tricked us. They must have gone to attack brother. Maybe the messenger has been intercepted and killed. Brother is unprepared, I'm afraid it will happen!"

After a while, the cavalry who went out to investigate came back, and a battalion commander personally held a set of gold armor.

Li Congzhao looked over and saw that it was not a gold armor at all, but a leather armor painted with gold paint. There was no one in the camp outside the city.

Li Congzhao yelled, "Sure enough, the Jinjia people are fake. The Hexi army has been marching for three days, and no defeated army has returned in three days. There is no news from Wugong County. It must be in danger. We must rush back!"

All the officers of the Fengxiang Army around, the more they thought it was more possible, they all demanded to rush back.

Although they were perfunctory in fighting the Guiyi Army four days ago, it was because they felt that this battle should not be fought.

But now it is different, Wugong County is their base camp, fifty miles to the west is the jurisdiction of Fengxiang Jiedushi, and one hundred and fifty miles is the location of Fengxiang Mansion.

If the people from Hexi raided the army in Wugong County, and then rushed into Fengxiang to burn, kill and loot, then they would suffer a big loss. The generals were all from Fengxiang, so naturally they couldn't just sit idly by.

So without Li Congzhao's urging, the 7000 people in Xingping County quickly mobilized 5000 people, and with hundreds of cavalry to clear the way, the 5000 people hurried to Wugong County.

. . . .

Huangshan Palace, located on the plateau slope about [-] miles away from Xingping County, is a Taoist holy site built during the period of Emperor Hui of the Western Han Dynasty. The terrain belongs to the relatively high area after Xingping County came out.

Zhang Zhao observed Xingping's every move here, and waited until a puff of smoke from the west of Xingping County rolled westward before Zhang Zhao ordered the soldiers of the Guiyi Army to get ready.

He went to fight Wugong County when he was free. Li Congzhen had 10,000 troops in Wugong, while Zhang Zhao had less than [-] people including the captives and cannon fodder. A sudden attack had a certain chance of success, but the chance of failure was even greater.

Isn't it much better for him to stay here and wait for Li Congzhao to fight Li Congzhao than to fight Wugong County?

"My lord, Li Congzhao's cavalry is still pretty good. There are only a few hundred of them, and the search range can be two or three miles away."

Murong Xinchang came, his face was full of excitement, but he still recognized the cavalry of Fengxiang Army.

"It's just that these guys are a bit slippery, and they generally don't want to fight to the death. Your Excellency's plan to encircle the three is right. Give them a way out, and these guys won't fight trapped beasts."

"Haha! Of course, no one understands these guys better than me!"

Zhang Zhao made a few gestures that Murong Nobunaga couldn't understand and said with a smile, the virtues of warriors of the Five Dynasties were inherited and carried forward in Song and Ming dynasties, so he naturally understood.

"These people think it's safe to search for two or three miles, but they never thought that all of us have more than one horse and two horses, and the horses have horseshoes to protect their hooves.

There are also a large number of sweat horses and folded ear horses, let alone two or three miles, even five or six miles is not safe. "

Zhebu Jiashi also smiled beside Zhang Zhao and said that he admired Zhang Zhao very much.

The biggest wear and tear of a military horse is its hooves. At this time, a qualified military horse can no longer be used as a war horse in two or three years, because the hoofs are too worn and cannot continue to gallop at high speed with heavy loads.

But the horseshoe 'invented' by Zhang Zhao perfectly solved this problem, greatly prolonging the service life of the horse, and also allowing the horse's speed to be brought into full play when sprinting.

"Zhebu Jiashi, take six hundred cavalry around and cut off their back path, remember not to block it, let go of a gap.

The rest followed me and went straight to the enemy's vanguard. We must knock them out with a blow to the head, and force them to flee back in embarrassment along the gap we left. "

. . . .

Li Congzhao was riding on a green horse. Not far in front of him was Mawei Slope, which was guarded by more than a hundred Fengxiang troops.

On weekdays, Li Congzhao would definitely go to pay homage to play, but now, he can no longer arouse this interest.

Before leaving the city, he was worried that his elder brother Li Congzhen would be attacked by surprise, but after leaving the city, he was worried again, would he have been tricked?Could it be that someone beat him?

But seeing the cavalry shuttle back and forth around him, he felt at ease again. If there was any danger, these cavalry would definitely be able to issue an early warning.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" Li Congzhao was thinking that the cavalry would give an alarm, but immediately he heard the siren.

soon!Only a few tens of breaths later, the sound of the gong stopped, and the screams began to sound. Li Congzhao, who felt dizzy, was quickly helped off his horse by the guards.

　Do you have a monthly pass?Send two!
