Late Tang

More than a thousand people from Li Jing rushed out of Qingzhou City and hurried all the way north.On the way, Zhang Wanrong, the supervisor of the army, thought it was uncomfortable to walk with Wang Jingwu's family members, so he killed them one by one.Under Li Jing's persuasion, only Wang Jingwu's official wife, two legitimate daughters and the newly born legitimate son remained.

"Go north, there are more than [-] war horses hidden in a small valley there!"

After leaving the city, Li Jing didn't see the soldiers and horses of the Unity Battalion, so he knew that the messengers sent earlier must have failed to leave the city.I couldn't help worrying in my heart, although there were more than a thousand of them, they were all a group of mobs, composed of servants from various prefectures.At this time, he couldn't help but feel a little unfortunate. Fortunately, although they let Wang Jingwu escape in the hall just now, among the four envoys under him, one was killed and the other was captured, and Wang Jingwu was seriously injured. As a result, the command of the Qingzhou dental soldiers was temporarily ineffective, and there were no people with enough prestige to stop them.

He dared to believe that if Wang Jingwu had chased after him, even if Zhang Wanrong had killed all his wives and children, he would not have let them go out of the city.

All the credit is lacking!Li Jing slightly sighed.Song Wei was injured in his abdomen, and was being carried by several guards on a stretcher. Seeing Li Jing's expression, he guessed what he was thinking, and said, "Ji Yu doesn't have to be like this. In fact, if it wasn't for you tonight, The old man and others have already been beheaded by Wang Jingwu. Being able to leave Qingzhou City is already an unexpected joy."

The military supervisor Zhang Wanrong was covered in blood, which was stained with the blood of Wang Jingwu's family.He also nodded aside and said: "Song Jieshuai is right, almost capsized in the gutter. Although Wang Jingwu ran away, our result is still good."

"If I had known it was at the gate of the banquet, I would have captured Wang Jingwu directly at the gate." Zhao Jiang beside Li Jing said.

"What's the use of just capturing Wang Jingwu?" Zhang Wanrong is also a ruthless character. Although he is a eunuch, since he is the military supervisor of a town, he is also somewhat capable.He can see many things very clearly. Everyone agreed to Li Jing's plan tonight. Guan Jian's reason was that time was too tight, and it was too late to mobilize troops to confront Wang Jingwu, and they were unwilling to hide.Li Jing's plan is very risky, but if Wang Jingwu and other generals of Qingzhou dental soldiers can be captured as planned, the matter will be complete. "At this point in the matter, what's the use of just catching Wang Jingwu? The arrow is on the string, and the other generals won't let it go."

A gallop came, and it was Duan Shan, who had snatched a few horses when they were in the city just now.Li Jing asked several special soldiers to ride out of the city and report to the Dengzhou camp all the way, and all the way to the valley to report the news, and the rest were responsible for observing the movement of Qingzhou City.

"Marshal, General, [-] cavalry from Qingzhou City have come out of the city to chase after them!"

Everyone was nervous when they heard the news. It would be over if they were caught up by [-] cavalry. "Speed ​​up, let's go to the valley first, Duanshan, and then you go to the Unity Camp, let them come and meet.

Li Jing and the others ran in a hurry, and just entered the valley, the Tanqi behind had already reported that the Qingzhou pursuers had arrived.There are only more than 400 war horses in the valley, but they have more than 1000 people.At this time, not only are there not enough horses to escape, but they are definitely no match for the opponent. Li Jing simply proposed to temporarily block the cavalry in the valley according to the terrain.Song Wei also valued Li Jing very much at this time, and Zhang Wanrong and others even obeyed Li Jing's proposal.

This valley is a small gourd-shaped valley with only one entrance, but there is no way out behind it.Li Jing led people to cut down the forest and seal the mouth of the valley, and the pursuers came immediately.As soon as Wang Yanwen got the kill, he rushed forward, wanting to rush into the valley with a burst of energy.However, Li Jing led his people to resist desperately and repelled his attack.

At this time, it was midnight, Wang Yanwen saw that he could not enter the valley, so he obeyed his subordinates and led his army to surround the valley entrance, waiting for Wang Jingwu's troops to arrive.In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard the sound of countless soldiers and horses approaching. Wang Yanwen thought it was soldiers from Qingzhou who had come, and was just happy when he heard an urgent report from his subordinates that the troops were coming all the way to kill them.Wang Yanwen hastily led the army to deploy, only to realize that the soldiers and horses from the Unity Battalion came.At the moment, I can't help but feel contemptuous. Although the Unity Battalion has thousands of people, they are just a group of recruits.

In the valley here, Li Jing was also the first to know that the Unity Battalion had arrived.At that moment, Li Jing selected the people from the special warfare capital, rode on the horse, moved away the trees in Taniguchi, and rushed out suddenly.That Wang Yanwen led [-] cavalry to fight against the forward of the Unity Battalion. The forward of the Unity Battalion, with a thousand soldiers, was defeated by the [-] cavalry of Qingzhou Yabing. It seemed that they would be crushed by the cavalry at any time. At this time, Li Jing suddenly led [-] cavalry. Killing from the back of Qingzhou soldiers, the situation changed immediately.

The military battalion of the Tuanjie Battalion had also arrived at this time, and fought back and forth with Li Jing. Wang Yanwen was defeated immediately, leaving one or two hundred dead bodies, and lost to Qingzhou.

Song Wei and the others saw that the [-] soldiers from the Unity Battalion had arrived, they couldn't help but look a lot better, and felt relieved.

"Let's go back to Qingzhou!" Someone shouted.

Seeing Song Wei, Li Jing also seemed to be a little moved, and quickly said: "No, although there are still our troops in the city, they must have been controlled by Wang Jingwu. Why don't we just wait in this valley for the arrival of our Zhendong army."

After pondering for a long while, Song Wei said, "Ji Yu's words make sense. It's dark in the middle of the night, and we can't attack the city. It's better to wait for Li Jing's troops to arrive, and then go back to Qingzhou together." Song Wei was actually quite He wanted to return to Qingzhou immediately, but in the end he still felt that although there were five thousand of these united soldiers, they were not worth much.Worried, unable to deal with Wang Jingwu's tooth soldiers.

Wang Yanwen came back in a big defeat, and on the way, he happened to meet Wang Jingwu with a broken arm hanging, holding the Wang family's ancestral battle ax with one hand, and led five thousand soldiers from the headquarters to rush there.Hearing that Wang Yanwen was defeated, he couldn't help being furious, and wanted to order him to be beheaded.The generals persuaded him to dispel his anger.Hearing that the united soldiers had arrived to join Song Wei and the others, he couldn't help becoming more angry, and immediately ordered the troops to rush.

Wang Jingwu came with a murderous look and rushed outside the valley. At this time, Li Jing had already let the united soldiers enter the valley, standing still and waiting for help.Qingzhou soldiers arrived and immediately launched an attack, and the two armies fought fiercely around the small valley.

Zhang Wanrong, the supervisor of the army, repeated his old trick. He took Wang Jingwu's wife and children to the front of the battle, put a knife on their necks, and made Wang Jingwu retreat.

When Wang Jingwu saw that these four were the only family members who had been taken away, he was even more angry.His face was ashen and frightening. After a while, he suddenly swung the ax in his hand and shouted: "Kill me!" The Qingzhou soldier beside him hesitated for a moment, and Wang Jingwu directly chopped off the soldier's head with an ax , shouted: "Kill, those who get the heads of Song Wei and Zhang Wanrong will be rewarded ten thousand yuan, and they will be promoted to three ranks!"

Qingzhou soldiers didn't hesitate anymore, countless arrows rained towards the valley, Zhang Wanrong and others never expected that Wang Jingwu would be so ruthless that he couldn't even delay for a moment.Unprepared, Zhang Wanrong was hit by an arrow in his arm, and the soldiers around him also shot down to the bottom, retreating in embarrassment.

With heavy rewards, there must be brave men, and the Qingzhou soldiers' offensive became more and more fierce.The united soldiers in the valley couldn't resist, and were attacked into the valley several times. It was only because of Li Jing's counter-charge when he led the special forces team member Guan Jian that the enemy's offensive was contained.

Seeing the dawn of dawn, the two sides had already fought bloody battles at Taniguchi in the middle of the night, with layers of corpses, blood staining Taniguchi.

At this point, both sides in the war understand that whoever can survive, or whoever gets reinforcements first, will win.When the east appeared pale, Wang Jingwu's reinforcements arrived first.

The two departments of the front office and the back office came, with about 4000 people.Wang Jingwu also made up his mind at this time, knowing that the night is full of dreams.When Qingzhou calmed down a bit, two of the four soldiers and horses left behind in the city were immediately transferred.With the help of this new force, Wang Jingwu had a sufficient advantage and began to attack in turn without stopping for a moment.

The situation in the valley became more and more critical, and Li Jing and his subordinates had to launch a counterattack every half an hour.

"Woooooo!"

The melodious sound of the horn came suddenly, and both sides in the battle couldn't help but startled.At such a critical moment, reinforcements arrived again, but I didn't know who it was.But no matter which side the reinforcements arrive, they can change the outcome of the battle.

The spies standing on the top of the mountain looked pale and immediately told Song Wei and others the result: "Two groups of soldiers and horses came, one was fighting under the banner of Zizhou, and the other was fighting under the banner of Qizhou. There are about ten thousand soldiers and horses together!"

Song Wei's complexion also changed, and he said in a low voice: "Zizhou Inspector Zhang Chan, Qizhou Inspector Lu Hong, these are Wang Jingwu's men."

Kang Chenghui, Zhang Wanrong, Cui Yunqing and others all changed their expressions. If 1 Malays came to help, they might not be able to hold on.

Cui Yunqing grabbed Li Jing's hand and asked anxiously, "Ji Yu, how long will it take for your troops to arrive?"

Li Jing looked at the sky, "Maybe it will be there soon, maybe it won't be until noon. Now, the only way is to persevere!"

After the soldiers and horses from Ziqi and Qizhou arrived, the Qingzhou soldiers outside the valley immediately cheered.This small valley is too difficult to hit, Wang Yajiang is in a hurry, and not many of the brothers who went up for a long time can come back intact.In such a long time, they have already lost 800 people here.

The arrival of Zhang Chan and Lu Hong immediately changed the situation on the battlefield.Wang Jingwu's Qingzhou soldiers continued to attack at the mouth of the valley, but Lu Hong and Zhang Chan dispatched troops to start climbing the mountain, preparing to climb to the top of the mountain, and then enter the valley to deal the deadliest blow to Li Jing and others.

At this time, Song Wei and the others also knew that they had to fight desperately, and they all picked up their knives and joined the battle.Not only did they want to rob Taniguchi, but they also sent troops to face Zhang Chan and Lu Hong's soldiers and horses to rob the mountain.

The battle was extremely fierce, and countless soldiers fell every time. At present, the two armies are completely red-eyed.Li Jing took the horizontal knife and slashed left and right. There were several gaps in the knife. While killing the enemy, Li Jing looked up at the sky from time to time.

The red sun has gradually risen, and the sun in the valley shone in, covered with a layer of golden light.

"Marshal, it looks like I can't hold it anymore. The old man is willing to be in the back of the hall. You and the others quickly lead a group of people over the back mountain to escape and scold for your life!" Vice-commander Kang Chenghui said to Song Wei panting with his blood-stained robe .

"No, I believe Li Jing. He said that the reinforcements are coming soon, so they will definitely come. If you stick to it, old man, we have defeated Pang Xun and fought against Nanzhao. No big storms have come through. Just Wang Jingwu thought Send us back to the west, he's still a little tender!" Song Wei's face was resolute, not because he didn't want to leave, but because there might be a glimmer of life left behind.And if he really turned around and fled, it was hopeless.

At this moment, the horn sounded again!

Li Jing, who was acting as a firefighter on the hill, just repelled a wave of Zizhou soldiers who attacked the hill, suddenly saw a black line suddenly appearing between the sky and the earth on the north side of the hill, and then the black line came closer and closer, gradually becoming a piece.When I got closer, I saw that it was a fiery red army, with fiery red battle robes, fiery red battle flags, and fiery red helmet tassels!

"The Zhendong Army has arrived!"

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

Shocking cheers sounded from the top of the mountain, spreading from the top of the mountain to the valley.As soon as Cui Yunqing grabbed Song Wei's hand, she burst into tears and said, "Ji Yu's troops have arrived, here they are!"

Song Wei couldn't control his excitement, he looked up to the sky and laughed, ignoring the wound in his abdomen, "The sky will never fail me, the Zhendong army is mighty!!"

"The Zhendong army is mighty!" Cui Yunqing also shouted.

The surrounding people shouted in unison: "The Zhendong army is mighty!"

"The Zhendong Army is mighty!" Shouts over and over again finally converged into a neat and loud slogan!

The Qingzhou soldiers only heard Guzhong's shouts, and then the soldiers in Guzhong were shocked suddenly, and they launched a perfect counterattack, killing all the soldiers who had almost entered the valley.

"Uncle, it's not good, the Zhendong Army has arrived!"

"What Zhendong army?" Wang Jingwu didn't react for a while.

"That Li Jing has arrived!"

"Li Jing!" Wang Jingwu finally knew which part of Zhendong Army was. He didn't expect that Li Jing's army came so fast. "You take your cavalry to stop it first, and I will transfer the front and rear yamen to support you later!" The valley was almost captured, how could Wang Jingwu give up at this time.

Wang Yanwen returned within less than half an hour after leaving.When he came back, his helmet was also off, and there were still several white feather arrows stuck in the armor leaf on his back. "Uncle, the Zhendong Army is too powerful, the brothers couldn't resist and were defeated."

Following his words, there was a muffled sound like rolling thunder, and a banner of the Zhendong Army fluttered in the wind, and two cavalrymen came straight to kill. Bringing a battalion of one thousand flying cavalry to kill them, two cavalrymen rushed towards them like a hurricane!
