Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 866

This time the rebel army invaded the Prime Minister, the commander of the army is named Liu Man, he is Liu Zheng's follower, although he is only twenty years old, he has been in the army for a long time after being a general.

For this operation, the chaos army also attaches great importance to it.It has been several years since they fled to Nozawa. Although they managed to survive due to various reasons, and due to the stalemate between all parties in Xuzhou, their situation has improved a little bit.

But this does not mean that they can live in peace for a long time. The terrain in Nozawa is complex and not suitable for large-scale military activities.This not only restricted the in-depth encirclement and suppression of the Xuzhou army, but also restricted the rebellious army itself.If they are trapped here for a long time, they may collapse without a fight, and be divided and drawn by the Xuzhou army from outside.You must know that they are not very cohesive elite soldiers, but just a group of desperate soldiers who have no choice but to hold together to survive.Once the situation has been stagnant for a long time and there are few changes, it is inevitable that people will be disturbed and vacillating.

Although the military leaders in Xuzhou had a lot of contact with the rebel army, they even offered to help provide them with opportunities to replenish their supplies.But those people don't have any good intentions, they just want to raise a source of disaster.

Living precariously in the wild, surrounded by enemies, such a life is simply torture.So Liu Zheng also tried to send someone to contact Xi Jian to discuss the issue of surrender.However, there was a fierce attack from various people and horses. Those people were using their actions to show that Xuzhou's position is limited and they cannot tolerate their power.

So the rebellious army seems to be still rampant at the moment, but in fact it is just walking on a dead end, and must break out, otherwise it can only become a bandit raised by the army leaders to help them seek benefits. will be dismembered.

Those people are getting bigger and bigger, and a little beheading and capture can no longer satisfy their appetite, and they actually want to force the chaos army to directly help them fight for profits.The meaning of attacking a dock wall is completely different from that of an official county government. The former can still be regarded as a local banditry, but the latter is a real rebellious thief.Although the rebellious army is not afraid of infamy, but if they really dare to do so, Xi Jian will mobilize the army again to encircle and suppress the rebellious army even under the pressure of material arguments, which will undoubtedly make the rebel army's survival more difficult.

Moreover, this is very likely to be a signal that those military leaders intend to completely abandon them.The space for them to exist before is because the situation between the north and the south is still unclear. After all, the country of Jie has been in power for a long time, and it is very likely to make a comeback after a moment of chaos.Those military leaders want to preserve their strength, but also don't want to do everything wrong, so they don't want to encircle and suppress them wholeheartedly.

But now, the chaotic situation of Jie country's separatist rule has not ended for a long time, but it is becoming more and more chaotic.The minds of these army leaders who took advantage of the chaos inevitably weakened, and the need for the existence of the chaos army also weakened.

On the other hand, even as Xi Jian is getting older, Xuzhou may usher in a major adjustment at any time.Therefore, military leaders also need to lay a solid foundation, strengthen their momentum, and make full preparations to meet this change.Under such circumstances, the fewer variables the better, naturally there is no need for the Surabaya chaotic army to exist anymore.

Therefore, after Liu Zheng received the orders from the outside military leaders, he also thought about it for a long time and discussed with his cronies. They all agreed that this meant that the military leaders had already planned to abandon them, just to extract the last bit of use from them before they died.

People don't have peace of mind to wait for death, especially Liu Zheng himself is one of those unruly army leaders, and he was the leading army leader in Xuzhou before the defeat of the Jie Kingdom. The shoes are not worthy, and life and death are in his mind.In the end, these jumping clowns actually dared to turn their heads to decide his life and death. Such a shameful humiliation, how could they bear it!
Although he was upset, he had to admit that Liu Zheng didn't have the strength and qualifications to bargain any more.The army leaders did not allow him to survive in Xuzhou. If he wanted to survive, he had to break through the blockade of the Xuzhou army, leave Daze and head north, and get the direct protection of Wei Wang Shikan.

However, the blockade defense line of the Xuzhou Army is too strong, especially Xi Jian placed his heavy troops in Pengcheng, which directly blocked the way for the rebel army to break through the siege northward.Therefore, the rebellious army urgently needs a variable that can induce the Xuzhou army to adjust the blockade, so that they can take advantage of the situation and jump out of the dead zone.

To survive in troubled times, one must not only be brave, but also be calculating.The army chiefs are shrewd in their calculations, and Liu Zheng is not weak.Xiaxiang County was the place where the army leaders chose to let the rebellious army finally use their residual energy. Maybe they didn't expect that this location was also Liu Zheng's choice.He can't influence who Xi Jian will send to sit in the prime minister, but he can make sure that no matter who sits in the prime minister, he will become the target of public criticism.

As a big county near Nozawa, Xiaxiang, how could the rebel army ignore every opportunity.The reason why there is a surge in naturalized tourists here is that there is a rebellious army behind it.

Perhaps this is the way to go, and the last target chosen by the military leaders happened to coincide with the follower Liu Zheng prepared.

There are more than [-] rebels attacking the prime minister this time.Except for the thousands of people led by Liu Man, who were the elite of the rebel army, the rest were all young men who had recently been recruited during the tour in Nozawa.This is also thanks to the blessings of the military leaders, so that the rebellious army can calmly replenish their supplies in the past few months, otherwise they would not even be able to support the original army, and it would be difficult to recruit new soldiers.

And this is not the entire force of Liu Man's attack on Xia Xiang this time. After the rebel army landed, many small groups of troops joined along the way.These people had sneaked into Xiaxiang County in the past few years. They were the direct relatives of Liu Zheng who had been operating in the past few years.

Hundreds of people joined along the way, and Liu Man's army became stronger, and he also learned more about the enemy's reality.Chun Yu'an, the guardian of this place, is a fool himself, but the enemy actually disbanded his troops, how foolish and bold!Liu Man naturally looked down on such an opponent even more, and went all the way to the county government.

Although Chun Yu'an was not the real purpose of his trip, but he was a man of great aspirations. Only by capturing or beheading him could he quickly sweep up the countryside, break down several large dock walls in the county, and plunder enough things to use. Kill enough human lives, cause enough sensation, and then lead Xi Jian to mobilize an army to besiege Nozawa, and it can also strengthen the hearts of the rebel army.In the face of such a bloody tragedy, even if the military leaders in Xuzhou had contact with various departments of the rebel army, they would never dare to recruit them in the short term, forcing the rebel army to fight to the death to break through.

As for how many people will die in tonight's military disaster later on, Liu Man doesn't care, and has no mercy.In the troubled times, only ferocity can survive. If you imagine that you can live comfortably like a poodle, you will naturally have to accept being slaughtered like a poodle!

Halfway through the run, Liu Man, who had sneaked in first, brought a few war horses, and Liu Man was able to change to a war horse. He was full of pride for a while, waving his whip and roaring: "Hurry up, hurry up! We have captured the Southern Bandit!" Those who are pure in peace will be promoted to the master of the building and lead a battalion alone! Anyone who is captured will be privately owned!"

In fact, there is no need for Liu Man to cheer up, the soldiers of the rebellious army are also running wildly, they have done similar things more than once, they have already practiced perfectly, and they all understand that there is no danger at all, as long as they can rush in first, the rewards will be rich !
Soon, the rebels rushed to Xiaxiang's shabby county seat.However, the fire suddenly lit up in the darkness, and the bugles shouted by the soldiers on the opposite side were not what they were used to seeing a few times earlier. Feel uneasy.

"What happened?"

At this time, Liu Man was still riding his horse in the rear surrounded by the Buqu family soldiers. The pause in front was quickly conveyed, and he immediately roared in displeasure.

"Ah Lang, Chun Yu'an got the letter early, and there is already an array waiting ahead."

A soldier walking ahead rushed to report back. Liu Man was not surprised when he heard the words. They rushed all the way from the landing to this point, and it took nearly two hours in the middle. If Chun Yu'an didn't notice it, he would be really stupid.

He shook the horsewhip in his hand, and the road was naturally lined up in front of him, and he soon walked to the front of the formation. The first thing he noticed was Chun Yu'an standing on the high platform illuminated by the fire, and several soldiers in military uniform. After seeing this, he couldn't help but sneered and said: " The old thief has a bit of ambition, knowing that he will die today, but he still dares to make such a big show."

As he spoke, his eyes turned to the battle formation in front of them. There were dozens of feet apart from each other. Even with the fire shining, he couldn't see clearly for a while.But after seeing the sparse formation, a trace of sarcasm could not help appearing at the corner of his mouth, but seeing those fierce soldiers standing upright in the battle line slapping their shields with the back of their swords and shouting, a trace of suspicion arose in their hearts, and they summoned a man who had been lurking earlier. His confidant frowned and asked, "Those howling soldiers are also Chunyu Anbu's followers?"

"No, I just arrived at the Prime Minister today. There are more than [-] of them. Although they are pretending to be caravans, they are very strong. They are probably reinforcements invited by Chun Yu'an..."

No matter how carefully these parts were hidden, it was impossible for them to lurk directly into the county government, after all, Chun Yu'an's time in office was too short.Moreover, since he took office, he has been recruiting without labor, so that people have no chance to infiltrate, so he doesn't know the specific origin of the Huainan Army, or even the specific number.

"Reinforcements? Hmph, since you are eager to die, let them die together!"

Liu Man got off his horse and sneered. It's not that he didn't want to ride the horse into battle, but the horse's nature was too bad to be used, so he could only abandon the horse and fight.He took the long lance handed over by his own soldiers, and roared in his mouth: "Husband's life and death will be under the knife! Kill!"

With Liu Man stepping forward to press the formation, the soldiers calmed down a little in fear, and then their emotions became clamorous again, and they rushed forward one after another.These soldiers formed an army hastily, without any formation at all, many of them slipped and fell into the shallow trench without noticing their feet, and were instantly pierced by the spikes.This didn't affect morale enough, but the bloody corpses were a bit eye-catching after all, so they closed their formation, rushed over several bridges, and rushed towards the sparse formation ahead with roars.

The soldiers rushed into the formation loosely, while Liu Man led the elite troops to press forward without haste or slowness.The disparity in strength was so great that he didn't even have the interest to step forward and kill.

On the high platform, Chun Yu'an saw the soldiers of the rebel army swarming towards him, and his face turned pale for a moment. Although he already had the will to die, it was difficult for him to calm down when he saw the turmoil of the enemies.

As for the county soldiers around the high platform, they were even more unbearable. Although the opponent was still tens of feet away from here, they were so frightened that they couldn't even hold their weapons. After all, in their view, the enemy was as boundless as locusts Sweeping towards this, this is a terrifying scene that has never been faced before!
"Crossbow kill!"

The enemy crowd was getting closer and closer, and the sound of beating drums suddenly turned into a rush.After a short drink, a sharp piercing sound of "swipe, swipe" suddenly sounded on the front line, like the sound of a murderous demon, and dozens of dark shadows that were too fast and violent to be caught by the naked eye suddenly rushed towards the opponent. Suddenly, dozens of gaps with a length of several feet appeared in the enemy's charge.

Many soldiers were still running wildly, when suddenly a gust of wind blew up beside them, and they saw the body of the robed Ze who was howling and galloping beside him suddenly lifted up and swept back, blood sprayed by the turbulent wind and agitated, and immediately circled around. Sprinkle it on your head, or even pour it directly into your nose!

"Kill the thief!"

The Huainan soldiers guarding the ballista roared again, and then followed the trajectory of the crossbow and directly plunged into the gap shot by the crossbow, like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep. Rip it apart!
At this time on the high platform, Chun Yu'an's field of vision was wider. He could only see the chaotic troops rushing in like a tide as if they had landed on the extremely hard rocky embankment. , like a wave that was hard blocked by a reef and smashed to pieces.

"Thieves who have brought disaster to the country, if you dare to go further, you will be killed without mercy!"

A battle of this intensity doesn't require the commander to take the lead. Liu Di stood on the high platform before, just to grasp the opportunity of the battle more clearly. At this moment, there is a scuffle, and there is no need for any scheduling before the battle.So he also pulled out the Su Tie Dao at his waist, glanced at Chun Yu'an who was full of shock, and then rushed down the high platform with the saber, a few guards behind him held the flag, and the rest all waved their swords, Go to the match!

There is really no beauty in such a battle. A mob of chaotic troops, facing the world's elite Huainan army, is like a flock of sheep killed by wolves, and they have no power to parry at all.Although the Huainan army is at a disadvantage in numbers, even in this chaotic killing formation, they still maintain a line formation. The iron knife in their hands is slashed at the same frequency, and the oncoming enemy is immediately cut down like a weed. !
These rebels originally dreamed of looting the harvest, but what greeted them was the invincible knife array.It was not a cold and murderous aura that the body could bear at all, it was cut down with a knife, and the head was in a different place!Even if they survived by luck, they were instantly drenched by the sprayed plasma. Although the plasma was still warm, it gave them a biting chill.

At this time, Liu Man had just led the trilogy across the shallow trench, when all the soldiers rushing ahead suddenly turned around and rushed directly towards his army.Caught off guard, the formations of the troops around him were immediately overwhelmed. He didn't even know what had happened on the battlefield. He only saw chaotic figures all around him, and the situation was completely out of control.

"Close up to me!"

Liu Man has also been in battle for a long time, and reacted instantly after seeing the situation. The long spear in his hand pierced forward, and suddenly swung his arms horizontally, sweeping away the space in front of him, and then smashed the body that was still penetrating the corpse. Chang Leng pointed to the sky and roared.

"Die!"

Suddenly, a warrior jumped out of the chaotic soldiers. Liu Di stepped on the shoulder of a fallen soldier, and then stepped on the head of another soldier with all his strength. When he struck down, the body of Liu Man, who was roaring loudly, trembled suddenly, and the bag was instantly sent flying, and a bloody arrow suddenly appeared between the left shoulder and neck!
