First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 395
...

After a sleepless night, Gao Chong cleaned the battlefield, but Chen Dangshi got away again after all.

This is also helpless, it is very easy for Chen Dangshi to escape for his life in the melee at night.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, everyone seemed to be not very satisfied with this ambush.

Both the enemy and the enemy underestimated the power of the melee at night. Although the Tang army won a big victory, it also lost thousands of people.

Huang Junhan immediately took the initiative to invite Ying, "My lord, the enemy army has been defeated, and I am willing to lead the army to take advantage of the victory and attack."

Lu Zushang also reacted, and said directly: "The enemy army must be panicked at this time, why don't you launch a general attack, Your Majesty."

Li Xiaogong was a little moved, but seeing Gao Chong, Zhang Zhenzhou and others were silent, he couldn't help asking: "What do you think?"

"Inappropriate", Gao Chong said directly without mercy.

Seeing everyone looking over, Gao Chong said in a deep voice: "First, after a night of melee, our army is exhausted, and the soldiers are still terrified, so it is not suitable for a general attack.

Second, although the enemy army is defeated, there are still no less than [-] to [-] enemies on the two mountains waiting for work.

Third, if the enemy troops take the risk of attacking at night, it can show that their food and grass are almost exhausted, so it is better to wait another day or two."

Zhang Zhenzhou nodded in agreement when he heard the words, "Yes, it's not that the old man is afraid of fighting, but you all saw the scene last night. Now the soldiers are still in shock and have not rested all night. How can they attack the enemy who is waiting for work at ease."

After listening, Li Xiaogong nodded and said yes, and after a little thought, he ordered an extra meal today to celebrate the big victory, so as to appease the morale of the army.

Besides, Chen Dangshi only led hundreds of people to flee in panic, sneaked all the way, fled north into Hezhou, and then looked for opportunities to cross the river, intending to escape back to Danyang.

However, after Chen Dangshi and others went ashore, they ran into Zhang Yeyi's men just in time to avoid death.

Due to Chen Dangshi's fate, after Zhang Yeyi led his troops to rob grain in Liangshan Town, he knew that he would not be able to wait for long, so he hid all the way, looking for an opportunity to burn the second batch of grain near Liyang.

This time Fu Gong Er was already prepared. After a bloody battle, although the food and grass were burned, Zhang Yeyi and others also lost 800 people, and their whereabouts were completely exposed. The mission has been successfully completed, and the two immediately decided to withdraw their troops. Cross the river by Hezhouyuan Road and return to the opposite bank.

He didn't want to meet Chen Dangshi and others who were fleeing here.

The atmosphere was a bit frozen, Chen Dangshi raised his spear, "You, are you robbing food and grass?"

Seeing a Tang army in the rear surprised Chen Dangshi very much. At the same time, thinking of the robbery of grain and grass in Liangshan Town, Chen Dangshi immediately understood.

Zhang Yeyi and Zhang Yeyi didn't know the situation on the front line, they looked at each other, Zhang Yeyi shouted and asked, "Who are you?"

"I will ask you again, Chen Dangshi, but you have robbed food and grass?" Chen Dangshi asked loudly despite his embarrassment.

A school lieutenant behind him slapped his head when he saw this, and said bluntly: "The general should not report himself...".

Seeing that there are many soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, isn't this self-reported origin a sheep's mouth.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhang Yeyi and the two were pleasantly surprised.

"Donghui, is this a credit bestowed by the heavens?" Zhang Yeyi's eyes lit up.

"It's time for us to make this great achievement." Tian Yangming clenched the horizontal knife in his hand and said, licking his lips.

Zhang Yeyi laughed loudly, "Brothers, the opposite is the rebel general Chen Dangshi, killing him is a great achievement."

Tian Yangming raised his knife and shouted: "The bandit army only has a few hundred people, and we have 200 people. Brothers, kill them."

When Chen Dangshi reacted, he shouted and raised his gun to meet the enemy. Suddenly, his back hurt sharply. When he turned his head, he saw the captain stabbed into Chen Dangshi's back.

"No, you shouldn't rebel," the captain said excitedly.

Chen Dangshi let out a roar, turned around with all his strength, and swiped his gun backwards. He actually shot the captain to the ground with one shot, and then stabbed him hard. Poor that unnamed captain, he wanted to atone for his crimes anyway, but the clinker Chen Dangshi was so brave that he killed him before he died.

Seeing this, hundreds of defeated troops knelt down and begged for surrender. Seeing this, Chen Dangshi was so angry that he fell to the ground and died clutching his chest.

Zhang Yeyi and others rushed up to look at Chen Dangshi's body, looked at each other, and then laughed. This is really a godsend.

At Bowang Mountain, when Chen Dangshi was defeated, Feng Huiliang had no choice but to order a reduction in food again. The daily supply was less than half of the usual amount. The Jianghuai soldiers complained constantly, and more and more people fled.

Two days later, Feng Huiliang finally received the good news that the third batch of grain and grass from Danyang was on the road, and was escorted by Fu Gong Er himself with heavy troops, safe and sound.

Feng Huiliang was full of confidence, but at the same time, Li Xiaogong finally gave the order to launch a general attack.

Feng Huiliang's troops in Bowang Mountain were only over [-], so he ordered Gao Chong to lead an army of [-] to attack, while Li Xiaogong personally led an army to attack Chen Zhengtong's headquarters in Qinglin Mountain.

Before the general attack, Gao Chong deliberately borrowed someone from Li Xiaogong, and that was Kan Leng, governor of Yuezhou.

Without even thinking about it, Li Xiaogong directly agreed that Kan Leng was originally from Jianghuai's former department, so it didn't matter if he was transferred to Gao Chong.

Prior to this, Gao Chong had applied to temporarily keep Wang Xiongdan in the army.

So far, the Jianghuai duo, the left and right generals, are all under Gao Chong's command.

Gao Chong valiantly led his army across the river and headed straight for Bowang Mountain.

Facing the Tang army's attack, Feng Huiliang's response was very simple. He stood firm and waited for reinforcements. Once Danyang's reinforcements and food came, the Tang army would definitely retreat.

Feng Huiliang's strategy is certainly good, very safe, worthy of his title as a JAC veteran, but he ignored people's hearts.

The war has continued to this day, both the enemy and the enemy are physically and mentally exhausted, the Jianghuai Army is even more poor in food and grass, the clear soup they eat every day is scarce, and the morale of the soldiers is low.

At the same time, Feng Huiliang did not expect Gao Chong to be so shameless. The Jianghuai army on the mountain drank clear "porridge" with few grains of rice. When the meat was cooked, the aroma of the meat wafted away, and the Jianghuai army on the mountain swallowed their saliva.

At this time, Gao Chong launched the ultimate killer and pushed the Jianghuai duo out. Wang Xiongdan and Kan Leng looked at each other, a little helpless, so they could only awkwardly come forward with a bowl of delicious meat.

"Brothers, I am Wang Xiongdan."

"Someone is Kan Leng".

Those two short sentences immediately caused an uproar.

When Du Fuwei dominated Jianghuai, only these two were the most famous of the thirty adopted sons. Among them, Wang Xiongdan worshiped the right general, and the Jianghuai army called him the junior general. Kan Leng worshiped the left general, and the Jianghuai army called him the big general. .

Both of them are famous for their bravery, one is good at wielding big guns and the other is good at wielding Mo knives, and they have a very high prestige in the Jianghuai army.

Seeing the two of them at the foot of the mountain now, the Jianghuai army suddenly became restless.

"Brothers, the auxiliary bandit is a traitor, and he has caused troubles in the Jianghuai River just for his own selfish desires. Don't you want to seek death with him."

Wang Xiongdan said loudly: "Wu Wang heard that you conspired against us in the court, and he was very heartbroken. As long as you come down the mountain, you will have meat to eat. You are still the people of the Tang Dynasty, and you are still my brother Wang Xiongdan."
