Late Tang

In the middle of May of the sixth year of Qianfu, soldiers were lost one after another, not only Gao Pian who lost the newly defeated Haozhou, but also Chuzhou.

Gao Pian assembled 4 soldiers and horses to prepare for a decisive battle with Li Jing in the Gaoyou area. Unexpectedly, after several days of heavy rain, Li Jing had already patted his ass and returned to Huaibei.Upon receiving this news, smoke rose from the seven orifices in high spirits.Previously, Li Jing only relied on [-] people to go all the way south, and he was as powerful as a bamboo, and he was so bullish, as if he was not going to give up until Yangzhou was captured alive.This made Gao Pian have to be cautious, ignoring the situation in Haozhou, and was even forced to reach an agreement with the grasshopper Huang Chao to deal with Li Jing together.

For this reason, he lost Chuzhou and then Haozhou, in order to concentrate his strength to have a real decisive battle with Li Jing.

But when he was ready, Li Jing patted his ass and left.

Damn, this is the greatest contempt for Gao Pian, nakedly flirting his old face in front of the world.

It's all right now, Li Jing wiped out tens of thousands of his Huai army, captured him in the two states of Chu and Hao, and left him alone in Gaoyou in front of him, completely ignoring him.

Gao Pian was angry, and this time he was really angry.

Previously, Zhang Lin was wiped out by Huang Chao. Although he pretended to be a turtle, it was just that he deliberately avoided fighting.If he really wanted to fight, he also wiped out ten yellow nests.But it's different now. Over the past few years, Li Jing's rise has been based on his old face.This time, he was wiped out by Li Jing successively by more than a hundred thousand horses.Although it is said that most of them are civilian recruits, the loss of elite soldiers is also 6 to [-].

This hit made his old bones ache!Originally, he had already planned to fight Li Jing with all his strength to determine the superiority.But now that Li Jing left, all his preparations were in the air.In the eyes of outsiders, Li Jing had already reached the gate of Yangzhou, but Gao Pian didn't dare to fight.With such a comparison, Gao Pian was completely defeated this time.

From now on, he really won't have a high status in Jianghu.

Li Jing withdrew, no matter what reason Li Jing withdrew, Gao Pian would never forgive him.

How could Li Jing withdraw, he should have fought him in Huainan, and was defeated by him so badly that he knelt down and begged for mercy, and became his prisoner.

"Li Jing has arrived at Xiapi, Sizhou, and now more than [-] people have assembled in Xiapi, and is preparing to fight for Xu Su from the Qi army." Gao Pian's confidant Lu Yong is the current head of the special investigation agency Chazi Now, Zhuge Yin, one of Gao Pian's three sorcerers, is sitting by Gao Pian's side. Although he is reporting the matter to Gao Pian, he is not sitting. , but Gao Pian didn't blame him for such a rude move.Objecting to this immortal master's move is regarded as a free and easy performance of a man among immortals.

Zhuge Yin not only had sores on the soles of his feet, but also rotten sores all over his body, which was caused by poisoning when he was refining alchemy.Sitting there, unable to stop for a moment, he could only scratch left and right, and a strong stench continued to emanate from his body.

"Your Majesty, according to the news that Chazi found out, after Li Jing returned to Huaibei, he left five generals to guard the cities of Chu and Hao. With Zhao Ji as the main general, Li Wei, Xuan Cheng, Qiu Shengong, and Li Xu's deputy, Shui Lu A total of 8000 people."

When Gao Pian heard that Li Jing only left so few troops in Huainan, he couldn't help but feel even more angry. Li Jing didn't take him seriously at all.He is the majestic King of Bohai County, a generation of famous generals, and Huainan Jieshuai. Li Jing ran to Huainan and robbed his two states, beheaded [-] of his soldiers, and left only more than [-] people.What does he think he is?Puppet clay sculpture?

Lu Yongzhi, the envoy of Zuo Moxie's capital, has now become Gao Pian's most trusted confidant. Like Zhuge Yin and Gao Pian, this envoy of the first army, who is now very popular in Huainan Town, wears neither armor nor the robes of civil and military officials. Instead, he was wearing a Taoist robe.In addition to Zhang Shouyi who was also in a Taoist robe sitting opposite, the Shuaifu Festival Hall in Huainan Town looked like a Taoist crown palace.

Lu Yongzhi was the best at observing facial expressions, looking at Gao Pian's expression, he immediately knew what Gao Pian was thinking at this moment.Immediately he said: "Your Majesty, didn't Huang Chao just send someone to send a letter, wanting to ask the Majesty to send troops to deal with Li Jing together? Some people feel that Li Jing is about to attack Xuzhou now. At this time, it is time for us to send troops to kill Zhao Ji, it's a great opportunity to take back the two states of Chu and Hao."

Gao Pian's face was dark, "If this king and Huang Chao send troops to deal with Li Jing, if the news gets out, won't the world laugh at me for being afraid of Li Jing?"

"The king's words are wrong." Lu Yongzhi smiled slightly, as if he looked like a master, "Huang Chao is just a grass thief, how can he be compared with the king of the county, we sent troops, not to join forces with Huang Chao He beat his, we beat ours. First behead Zhao Ji, and take back the two states of Hao and Chu. Then we beat the Huaihe River in one fell swoop, and take Li Jing and Huang Chao together."

Zhang Shouyi and Zhang Shouyi quickly agreed, flattering Gao Pian.Gao Pian was very satisfied with these words, and immediately decided to send troops tomorrow.

Gao Pian said on the surface that he was not ashamed to join forces with Huang Chao, but he knew in his heart that Li Jing is not what he used to be, and now he has a strong army, and the failure of the Huai army this time is a clear proof.If it wasn't for Li Jing's strategic center of gravity in the north, I'm afraid he might not be able to get through this time.Now that Li Jing and Huang Chao have bitten it, it would be a fool not to take such a good opportunity.

To fight Li Jing decisively, Gao Pian is indeed a little bit older and less courageous.

But that Zhao Ji was just a general of Chen Zhou before.Although he worked under Li Jing for a few years, so what, he was the No.1 General of the Tang Dynasty before.The persimmons are about to be picked softly. This time, if you don't take the opportunity, you will wipe out Li Jing's 8000 troops first. After Li Jing wins Xuzhou, how can there be such a good opportunity to take back the two states of Chu and Hao.

At this time, Liu Hanhong was receiving many benefits from Gao Pian, and also obtained countless beautiful promises from Gao Pian. At this time, he was leading his troops to attack Hangzhou, and was making love with Zhou Bao.It seems that Zhou Bao won't have the time to provoke Huainan anytime soon.

After Gao Pian carefully analyzed the current strategic situation around Huainan, he still decided to take back the two states of Chu and Hao that were taken away by Li Jing first.Li Jing and Zhou Bao, although it is obvious that Li Jing is stronger, but Gao Pian is not only able to squeeze persimmons, he knows very well that once Li Jing is allowed to gain a firm foothold in Xu Si, then he, the Huainan Jieshuai, will probably be the same. Can't sit for long.

At the end of mid-May, Gao Pian left Gao Jie and Gao Yu, his nephews, to guard Yangzhou. The [-] elite Huai army summoned, together with a group of generals of the Huai army who managed to escape from the last defeat, led the army down the Han River in a boat and went straight to Chuzhou in a murderous manner.

Li Xu, who was patrolling Hangou and stationed in Yancheng in Anyi, learned that Gao Pian had led an army, so he immediately sent someone to report to Zhao Ji, the governor of Jianghuai.

Zhao Ji personally led five thousand troops to aid Anyi, and after listening to Li Xu's detailed report on the military situation, he said, "Although Gao Pian is old, his prestige is still there. He is good at using troops, so he should not fight lightly. He should watch his movement and then fight."

That day, Gao Pian's general Feng Shou led [-] cavalry to fight at the base of the city first. Zhao Ji's younger brother Zhao Jue called for the battle loudly, "The final general wishes to lead the [-] cavalry from the headquarters to fight against the Huai thieves' tax atmosphere!"

Five hundred versus three thousand, this is a bit dangerous, Zhao Ji nodded in agreement.Zhao Jue was ordered to go out of the city to fight, and he went to the gate tower to cheer for his brothers.

Amidst the sound of rumbling drums and horns, Zhao Jue led five hundred Qingqi out of the city.

The two armies shot at their positions a hundred steps away, and Zhao Jue recognized the general, who was the defeated general of Gao Yu's army.Sitting on the horse, he couldn't help laughing, and asked his subordinates to shout together: "The defeated general, how dare you speak bravely?"

For a moment, five hundred cavalrymen shouted loudly, and Feng Shou, who was far away, almost fell off his horse when he heard the shout, and was so angry that he was ashamed and angry.He didn't say much at the moment. With a wave of his hand, the horn blew, and Feng Shou led the cavalry to kill.

The Zhao brothers' grandparents have been Chenzhou dental generals for generations, and they practiced riding and shooting skills very well.Seeing the enemy coming, he was not afraid, and immediately waved his horse, commanding five hundred cavalry, and rushed towards the opponent.

Two cavalrymen rolled towards them, raising smoke and dust.

Feng Shou was a little surprised when he saw the five hundred cavalrymen of the Qin army dare to collide and fight, but it hit him right in the chest.Although the Huai army is from the south, he is a general who has fought in the south and the north. Most of the [-] cavalry under his command are veterans who have followed Gao Pian for many years.If Qin Jun wants to hit him, let him hit his head and bleed.

What Feng Shou didn't realize was that when Zhao Jue's five hundred cavalrymen came out, each of them still had a lighted matchstick wrapped around their left wrists. , a tragic cavalry collision is about to take place.

However, the cavalry in the front row of the Qin Army suddenly took out a fist-sized object, lit it near his left wrist, and threw it at them violently.

In a few breaths, it passed by in an instant.

When Feng Shou saw the pimples constantly flying, something suddenly sounded, that is, when Li Jing and the four Hebei towns fought in Hejian in the legend, Li Jing's cavalry used sharp firearms to smash the Hebei army.

Could this be those firearms?

In the last battle in Huainan, because the Qin army's firearms were damp, and then fought in heavy rain, the Huai army did not see the Qin army's firearms at all.As a result, many soldiers of the Huai Army thought that the so-called Qin Army firearms capable of defeating more than [-] Hebei troops were nothing but fiction.Or maybe there is, but it is not as powerful as it is boasted at all. Otherwise, why didn't Qin Jun use it?

Because of this, although Feng Shou fought the Qin army several times, it was the first time he saw the Qin army's thunderbolt.

The five-second delay is up!

The Thunderbolt that fell into the cavalry of the Huai army began to ring out one after another. In the smoke of the explosion, countless war horses of the Huai army neighed and panicked, and fled in all directions. Dozens of horses and knights fell in the midst of the earth-shattering fierce battle. .

The Huai army was in chaos, but the Qin army's horses had already received special anti-explosion and anti-shock training. At this time, amidst the loud noise, under the instigation of five hundred knights, they swept in like a wave, constantly Impact drowning.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji in the city quickly ordered his eldest son Zhao Lu and his second son Zhao Lin to lead [-] cavalry to go out of the city to cover up and kill them from the left and right sides, so as to expand the results of the battle.

Feng Shou was still struggling to hold on, but he heard the drums of war in the distance thundering, and a pair of cavalrymen on the left and right had already rushed to them, and he couldn't help but yelled bitterly.The cavalry of the Huai Army no longer had the will to fight, and headed south. The three generals of Zhao's uncle and nephew each led [-] cavalry from their own headquarters, chasing and killing them all the way, covering [-] li.

Nearly half of Feng Shou's [-] cavalry were lost, and they were in a terrible state of distress.

At this time, Zhao Ji, his brothers Zhao Chang and Li Xu also led [-] cavalry to join them. The two sides fought for a while, hurt each other, and gradually separated.Zhao Ji ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and return to the city, but Lei Man did not dare to pursue them. At the moment Zhao Ji's six generals returned to the city, Lei Man did not dare to stay longer, and retreated [-] miles south with Feng Shou to camp, waiting for the arrival of Gao Pian's army.

Feng Shou and Lei Man counted their soldiers and horses. In a scuffle, Feng Shou's [-] cavalry actually lost [-] cavalry, while Lei Man's [-] Wuling barbarian cavalry also lost more than [-] cavalry. His eyes widened, his teeth were gritted, and he sighed bitterly for a long time, relatively speechless. (To be continued.)
