Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 498
Chapter [-] A Stick of Incense in Wagang Is Not Conscientious
The desolate and deep sound of the dot call went straight to Yunxiao.Hearing the sound of the trumpet, nearly 3000 soldiers of the Modao Army immediately gathered around their respective brigade commanders, lined up in a column, and gathered towards the flag as quickly as possible under the leadership of the brigade commanders. In the preface, none of the nearly [-] people made a sound.

The Modao Army, the Shesheng Army, and the Guards Army were all assembled within the time of Yizhuxiang, forming a huge army formation of 53 times [-].The array is strict, the swords are like walls, and the swords are like weaves.

Chen Ying inspected his troops, feeling a sense of pride in his heart.This is the army he pulled out with great effort!This is the army he has fed with strict military discipline, cruel training and generous treatment!Maybe they have been in the army for a short time, and they are not yet capable of defeating too powerful enemies, but they will not be afraid of any enemies!Chen Yingsenran asked: "Do you know why the trumpets were blown to gather?"

There were more than 5000 people, but no one responded, and needles could be heard on the school grounds.

Chen Yingdao: "Because Xia Jun blocked our way, blocked our brother's way to get rich, a big benefactor sent us [-] guan to reward the army, and now because the bastards on the other side are blocking the way, The money can't be shipped.

Blocking people's money is like killing your parents!The facial muscles of the Tang soldiers twitched slightly.

Chen Ying said loudly: "These five guan coins were given to our brothers by the rich man Zheng of Xingyang!"

Hearing this, Zheng Jian at the back wanted to talk to Chen Ying about how the Zheng family in Xingyang, a scholarly family that had been passed down for hundreds of years, became a rich man in Chen Ying's mouth.It's just that the murderous aura emanating from these five thousand elite soldiers made him shudder.

In fact, this is not to blame for Zheng Jian's cowardice. With the murderous aura of the Mo Dao Army, not to mention him, even a fierce soldier can hardly bear it.

Li Xiuning listened to these words, especially when she secretly looked at Zheng Jian, and seeing Zheng Jian's daring to speak out, she couldn't help but restrain herself.

"Each of you can get at least ten coins, and you can use the money to buy a cow, repair a house, or buy a few acres of land, so that you, your family, all can live comfortably, even if you They died in battle and were injured, and their children can live a prosperous life by relying on this inheritance. But now the money can’t come in.” Chen Ying’s voice suddenly raised an octave: “Brothers, what do you say? , what shall we do?"

The breathing of the soldiers of the Tang Army suddenly became heavy, and red light burst out of their eyes.Originally, these soldiers of the Modao Army were eight feet tall and extremely powerful, but also, they were especially able to eat when they were strong. Their food intake was twice or even two or three times that of ordinary people, and most of their families did not have enough money.Following Chen Ying, they could finally have enough to eat without starving.

However, soldiers are not stupid.Being a soldier and fighting a war is like buying a body for a bitch. They also eat the food of youth. Once they are old or physically disabled, they have to go back to their old roots.They were all red-eyed when they heard Chen Ying say that the bounty money he gave them could not be transported.Cutting off people's money is like killing their parents. If they don't have money, they can't buy cattle. They need manpower to plow the fields, which is tiring and slow. Their plan to buy the fields will be ruined. Can this be tolerated?Absolutely intolerable!

"Kill them all!" All the soldiers shouted hysterically: "Kill them all!"

"Yes, kill them all! Leave 300 people to stay in the barracks! The others immediately set off with all their equipment, and follow me to find the place!"

Chen Ying's cavalry has only one mule, there is no way that Chen Ying's army has no war horses at all now, and there are dozens or even hundreds of war horses, all of which are reserved for scouts.The Mo Dao army does not need to move too fast. When there are no horses, mules or even donkeys can make do.

But now it's easy, because Xia Jun's soldiers are too close to them, less than three miles below the mountain.

At this distance, the Modao Army starts from twenty miles every day for full-armed training.

Zheng Jian was a little confused, Chen Ying was very unreliable.Why didn't you even say hello, and led the soldiers to rush over?
In fact, in Chen Ying's eyes, he really didn't pay attention to Dou Jiande's Xia army. What he needed was to equip the hooked and sickle cavalry with legs. At Hulao Pass, for Chen Ying, as long as Dou Jiande is killed, Li Xiuning is the right thing to marry home. Moreover, Li Daozhen is about to give birth, and the due date is three months away. As a man, Li Daozhen cannot be given a title. , It's already a failure. If Li Daozhen was not present when she gave birth, I would feel too guilty.

Xia Jun at the foot of the mountain was dumbfounded.

Even Cao Zhan was dumbfounded.

Is the sun coming out west?

Chen Ying has never taken the initiative to attack once, Xia Jun has always been in charge of attacking, and Chen Ying is in charge of defending.

Cao Zhan hesitated a bit when he received the report from the frontier outpost, but Chen Ying moved too fast. Before Cao Zhan could gather his troops, the Modao army had already formed a wall of swords and crushed them.

The Modao Army went on a rampage like a steamroller all the way, killing the soldiers of the Xia Army until they cried for their fathers and mothers.

Just when Cao Zhan gave up the outer camp and was about to use the inner camp to guard against death, the Modao army retreated under Chen Ying's order.The battle started suddenly and ended hastily.In just a quarter of an hour, at least two to three thousand people were hacked into mutilated corpses by soldiers of the Modao Army.

Cao Zhan was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

At this moment, an officer with two ears all cut off rolled and knelt down in front of Cao Zhan, screaming repeatedly: "General...the general is not good...then...the surname is Chen! . . . let me bring you a sentence."

A stench emanated from him, and everyone's eyes could not help but focus on his lower lapel. Cao Zhan immediately covered his nose and scolded: "You murderer, what's wrong, what does he want to say?"

The officer was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Lian Cao Zhan had a cannibalistic look in his eyes. He immediately shrank his neck and faltered: "That's... that Chen Ying from the Tang Dynasty. He asked the humble officer to tell the general..."

Chen Ying's original words are: "In the future, the recruits will be highlighted, and when you see Lao Tzu's banner, roll as far as you can, otherwise this will be the end!"

But how dare he say this to Cao Zhan, one is bad, Chen Ying didn't kill him, but Cao Zhan is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Cao Zhan was not stupid either. Looking at the officer's appearance, he knew that Chen Ying was not talking well.He waved his hand and waved all the soldiers back: "You all go down, treat the wounded, and prevent the Tang army from attacking the camp!"

All the generals clasped their fists in agreement and left slowly.

Looking at the backs of the generals, Cao Zhan said again: "Let's talk about it carefully——"

The officer cried: "He...he said, he said...he has a batch of supplies to bring in, and asked the general to give him a convenience, otherwise...then on the battlefield, and...almost hurt the life of the humble... "

Hearing this, Cao Zhan felt disgusted as if he had eaten a fly, but he had no choice but to do anything, the situation was stronger than others, and he had to bow his head under the eaves.

……

Taohuayu, Guanzhou, is the boundary between the second and third middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Of course, because the middle reaches of the Yellow River are gentle and the water level is low, it was also an important crossing of the Yellow River in ancient times. The north bank of the Yellow River is the old Mengjin.

At this time, the soldiers of the Xia army connected the ferries together with iron chains, and covered them with wooden boards, forming a pontoon bridge.At this time, there were as many as seven pontoon bridges. Soldiers of the Xia Army led horses and pushed carts, and slowly crossed from the south bank of the Yellow River to the north bank.

Dou Jiande's gate flag (the flag of the emperor) was erected on the stone platform of Taohuayu. Dou Jiande looked at the soldiers of the Xia army, whose cars were like flowing water and horses like dragons, and said with a faint smile on his face: "General Fan (wish)'s troops have already After more than half of the journey, no enemy interception was found, and from now on, I will gallop across the east of the river!"

At this moment, a courier with three upside-down triangular colored flags on his back came on horseback. Ling Jing naturally knew that this was the highest level of military intelligence.

"Report to Your Majesty, Luoyang urgently reports!"

"Luoyang?" Dou Jiande murmured with a depressed face, "Wang Shichong couldn't hold on?"

Ling Jing took the bamboo tube from the messenger, and said with a faint smile: "Probably not, the elite under Wang Shichong's command was not harmed, and his Jianghuai soldiers are also well-known elites in the world, and they almost wiped out Li Mi's more than twenty soldiers." The Wanwagang Army, the Jianghuai Army should not be too bad. Although the Tang Army is stronger, Li Shimin is not as cunning as Li Mi. Even Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong unpacked the seal, took out the battle report, just glanced at it, and a rare smile appeared on his face: "Wang Shichong, this old fox, is really cunning!"

Ling Jing was taken aback.

Dou Jiande looked at the battle report and muttered on his face: "Even God is on Wang Shichong's side!"

Ling Jing took the battle report from Dou Jiande's hand in surprise and finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that Bai Shide, the general under Wang Shichong, surrendered to Li Shimin with Zhang Zhenzhou in February, and later called Li Shimin's Chariot General (historical records, the chariot general Zhechong Duwei changed his name before he was a fifth-rank military officer.) Bai Shirang called each other brothers, The relationship is irreversible, especially Li Shimin's defeat in Longmen and Qu Tutong's defeat in Luoyang. General.

This time Changsun Shunde was ordered to support Li Shimin, and Bai Shide was ordered to lead more than a hundred cavalry to go back and forth between Hangu Pass and Beimang Mountain as liaison officers.But this Bai Shide is the main culprit of the loss of Hangu Pass.

Wang Renze and Chen Ying fought in Chousangyuan. Although Wang Renze was defeated, he knew a secret. At least Chousangyuan could bypass Hangu Pass and enter Hangu Road.Wang Xuanshu personally led more than 140 light soldiers, bypassed Hangu Pass from Chousangyuan, and entered the Hangu Road. In the Hangu Road, which was more than [-] miles long, Wang Xuanshu successfully ambushed a Tang army transport team.

Since both Hangu Pass and Tongguan are in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, Hangu Road is the safest place, and these civilians are only transporting luggage under the armed guard of an infantry captain.

More than [-] people faced a regiment, and under the circumstances of being prepared but not intentional, the soldiers of the Tang army in this regiment hardly made any decent resistance and were all captured by Wang Xuanshu.After knowing the diehards who were loyal and unwilling to cooperate, Wang Xuanshu led Zheng Jun to pretend to be civilian husbands and transport luggage into Hangu Pass.

But despite this deceit to seize the city, the probability of success is actually very low.Because the ancient city had a thousand catty gate, the important function of this thousand catty gate is that when a scuffle broke out at the gate of the city, when the defenders were unable to expel the enemy, as long as the gate was released and the winch was turned on, the thousand catty gate could be released from the city gate. Up and down, the city gate was instantly blocked.

At this time, Bai Shide also launched an attack at the same time. Several of his subordinates destroyed the winch, making it impossible for the jack to fall down. Therefore, Wang Xuanshu completed this almost impossible task for the first time.

The battle of Luoyang was full of twists and turns, which made Dou Jiande feel speechless.

He didn't know whether Wang Shichong was lucky or Li Shimin was too unlucky.

Such an absurd thing actually happened.

Ling Jing smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Li Shimin is in danger this time!"

Dou Jiande nodded and said: "The most poisonous trick is to run out of food. Li Shimin is now blocked between Luoyang and Hangu Pass. As long as the food and grass are exhausted, he will have nothing to do but wait to die!"

Ling Jing laughed and said, "Actually, Li Shimin has another way!"

"At this time, can he still make a comeback?" Dou Jiande asked suspiciously.

Ling Jing said solemnly: "He can still surrender. After all, Wang Shichong and Li Yuan are old acquaintances, and he will not stand by and watch Li Yuan send a white-haired man to a black-haired man. At least he will not kill Li Shimin!"

"Haha..." Dou Jiande pointed at Ling Jing and said, "I didn't expect Ling Qing to be joking!"

……

Cijian Tang army camp, Li Shimin received the news that Hangu Pass was lost, and suddenly fell into an ice cellar.

Heartbroken?

Dilemma?

In fact, this is not as good as expressing Li Shimin's mood at this time.

He doesn't know what to say about Changsun Shunde now. At this time, Changsun Shunde is like a huge fat pig. The whole army has more than [-] cavalry. In addition to the [-] cavalry under his command, he also brought Li Yuan together from Chang'an City. The [-]-color horses and war horses they bought were caught in the full siege of Zheng Jun.

After Li Shimin and his elder Sun Shunde joined forces, Zheng Jun, who had not been heard from before, came out of the ground overnight like a weed in spring.In fact, Wang Shichong's main army has always been not far from Li Shimin, just in Tanlong Valley. When Wang Shichong found out that Li Shimin was not fooled, Wang Shichong changed his battle plan and changed it from luring the enemy to trapping the enemy.

The method used is very simple, that is, to take advantage of Zheng's large number of soldiers, and arrange horses, trenches and traps on the official roads where Li Shimin passed.

Knowing that a large number of Zheng Jun soldiers appeared in the rear, Cheng Zhijie was furious and said: "A living person can still suffocate to death!"

So, Cheng Zhijie took two wide-bodied axes and led more than [-] soldiers under his command to attack Zheng Jun's refusal horse.

Just approaching the place where Zheng Jun refused to shoot his horse, the feathered arrows fired by Zheng Jun fell like a torrential rain. The muffled sound of arrows tearing flesh and blood was creepy, and death swept across the entire formation like a storm.

In this dense rain of arrows, no one was spared. Amidst the trembling of the recurve bowstrings of Zheng Jun's soldiers, Cheng Zhijie's soldiers fell down in a row.The soldiers in the front row are better, they are protected by shields, but those in the back row are miserable. They can only fight hard with armor. Although the armor can prevent arrows, but long-range lob shots like Zheng Jun's archers, the arrows are like parabolas. The highest point in the sky began to land, and the arrow flew faster and faster by virtue of gravity. The most important thing to bear was not the face, but the head, which is the weakest part of the human body.

Although the light arrows couldn't penetrate the iron armor, they easily pierced their faces and necks. Under the rain of arrows, the only thing they could do was to stare blankly at the densely flying feather arrows in the sky, and then fell down.

After ten rounds of arrow rain, Cheng Zhijie turned his head and saw that the corpses of more than [-] soldiers under his command were already strewn all over the field. The soldiers who were lucky enough not to fall looked around in horror, and all they saw were piles of corpses and struggling soldiers. The screaming wounded, Cheng Zhijie's subordinates were almost shot down!
However, their nightmare was not over yet. The Zheng Army's archers retreated, but the war drums were beating loudly, and beast-like howls sounded. Thousands of Zheng Army infantrymen in heavy armor had bloody eyes. Light, holding a spear and rushing towards them!The wounded soldiers who fell to the ground became the first victims.

Cheng Zhijie rushed into Zheng Jun's formation fearlessly with his hands raised, but his fists were no match for four hands. A tiger couldn't hold back a wolf. After just a few encounters, Cheng Zhijie became a bloody man.

"Old Cheng!"

Qin Qiong's eyes were red. His relationship with Cheng Zhijie was irreversible. Under Zheng Jun's rain of arrows, other generals lost their courage, but Qin Qiong did not. Even if he died, he would stay with his brother.

A stick of incense in Wagang is not completely devoid of conscience.

For example, Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie.

For example, Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, and Luo Shixin, they are all true men with love and righteousness.

"Old Cheng, hold on, my old Qin is here!"
