"Look at it like this, it's only a thousand riders, why are you afraid of him?" said a soldier and horse envoy.But these words could not appease everyone's hearts. Everyone knew in their hearts that since the Qin army came to help, it would definitely not be just a thousand people.These thousands of cavalry were obviously nothing more than vanguards.There are thousands of cavalry for just one pioneer scouting the horse, so how many of the main cavalry will come later?At this time, no one thinks that the adjectives that the spies just said are overwhelming, the flags are like a sea, and boundless are exaggerations.

Tens of thousands of Qin troops have crossed the Qin-Zhao border and entered Shenzhou, less than a hundred miles away.Thinking about it, Wang Shiyuan and other generals couldn't help feeling cold all over.They are only 5000 soldiers, even if they are the elite soldiers of the Chengde army, they really want to fight the Qin army. Lu Feng secretly estimated that if [-] people only deal with the [-] arrived Qin cavalry, they may be able to draw. , and even gain the upper hand.But there are tens of thousands behind the Qin army, which is impossible to fight.

They are not afraid of the vanguard cavalry of the Qin army, but Raoyang City has not yet been captured. If they are entangled by these thousand cavalry, then they may not even think about leaving.

Wang Shiyuan looked up at the crumbling Raoyang City in front of him, and the cavalry of the Qin Army who were coming from the northwest on the ice. He was really depressed.The Raoyang army and civilians in the city were already desperate at this time, but when the Qin army's flying eagle battle flag appeared, the already sluggish morale and hopeless military spirit were cheered up in a blink of an eye.Those Raoyang soldiers and civilians who were desperately guarding the city wall and fighting Zhao Jun in hand-to-hand combat screamed ecstatically, bursting out with great strength, and refused to retreat even a single step.

And Zhao Jun, who had already attacked the top of the city, also discovered the piece of navy blue that was rushing straight. At the sunset time, the shiny breastplate reflected the sunset and the sunset glow, so beautiful. Dazzling and brilliant.After a day of fighting, seeing that Raoyang City was about to be breached, but seeing the Qin army coming to help, the momentum suddenly blew out, not as good as before.

Zhao Jun's momentum on the city let out, and Raoyang City, which was about to be broken, held on again.

On the balance, Lu Feng actually had the idea of ​​retreating, but he was afraid of Wang Shiyuan's military law, so he hesitated for a while, but he heard another soldier and horse envoy couldn't help but ask: "Yanei, the Qin army has arrived, we advance and retreat. how?"

Although the five thousand tooth soldiers are the elite of Zhao Jun, in fact, there are only one thousand cavalry, and the remaining four thousand are infantry, and they are dragging more than 100 cannons.If you want to leave, you have to leave immediately, otherwise, once you get entangled, it will be difficult to get out.

Wang Shiyuan was extremely depressed, and his brows were frowned into a "Chuan" character. He wanted to retreat, but he felt that most of the Qin army was still a hundred miles away at this time. A blow to morale, especially since he's here to boost morale.If he went back in such a desperate manner, how would he gain a foothold in the Chengde Town Army in the future?Moreover, Rao Yangcheng seems to be able to take it with a little bit of strength. It is really unwilling to leave now.

Most importantly, Wang Shiyuan still had a sudden thought in his mind, that is, the Qin people only have a thousand cavalry, and he has 5000 people. Maybe he can defeat the thousand arrogant Qin cavalry before the arrival of most of the Qin army. .If he can break through Raoyang, defeat the thousand cavalry, and then retreat, not only will he be able to complete the mission he came here for this time, but he will definitely win a lot of prestige, which will earn him more support in the Chengde army. Occupy a more favorable position in the battle of brothers.

As soon as this idea emerged, it became more and more intense, making it difficult for him to let go.

He pondered for a while, then turned his head and asked Lu Feng, "Do you know which unit of the Qin army, what number, and which general led this thousand cavalry?"

Lu Fengxian didn't know for a while, he was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to ask this for.At this time, it was a Sima next to him who said: "Just now, I looked at the Qin cavalry team and found that they were flying the Zhu Ziqi, and I didn't see the designation clearly."

"Zhu?" Wang Shiyuan thought for a while, "It seems that there is no one named Zhu among the generals of the Qin army, and there is no one named Zhu among the disciples of Li Jing and the Thirteen Taibao."

In recent years, the reputation of Li Jing's thirteen disciples has become more and more famous, and because these 13 people have successively received the post of inspector and Taibao that Li Jing invited for them, therefore, the towns have also begun to rule over Li Jing's thirteen disciples. For the Thirteen Taibao.

When it comes to the generals of the Qin army, the Thirteen Taibao must be at the top.Then came the senior generals, but among the senior generals of the Qin Army, Lin Wei, Lin Wu, Wang Zhong, Zeng Yuanyu, Zhao Ji, Cui Anqian, Zhang Zimian and many other generals also did not have the surname Zhu.

Tiger generals have no dogs. There are many families of generals in the Qin army, such as the Gao family generals, Song family generals, and Zhao family generals. The sons of many generals are also outstanding among the younger generation. The brothers' sons, etc., these young generals are now one by one becoming the head of the Xiang army and emerging.There must be generals surnamed Zhu in Qin Fan, but there seems to be no famous and powerful figures.

Wang Shiyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that there really was no well-known guy named Zhu in Qin Fan.Qin Fan has a characteristic, no matter whether it is literary or martial arts, they are generally much younger than other feudal clans.This is not only the case for civil officials, but also for military generals. The group of senior generals who followed Li Jing first are now only in their 40s and [-]s.Now the sons and disciples of these people have also grown up, making Qin Fan's generals younger.It is said that some little guys who are only fifteen or sixteen years old have already become military leaders, even the military leaders of the elite cavalry army.

As long as the people who came were not famous people, Wang Shiyuan became a little bit more determined about his idea of ​​fighting with them.At this time, a secretary next to him said: "I heard that there are five brothers named Zhu in the Qin army, Zhu Xuan, Zhu Jin, Zhu Qiong, Zhu Yu, and Zhu Han."

"Ah!" Lu Feng exclaimed. "But a few years ago when Wei Bo and Han Jian sent troops to attack Tianping Town Yujuan, the Qin Army's Shandong garrison reinforced the five Zhu brothers of the Tianping Army?"

But Wang Shiyuan had never heard of the fame of Zhu Xuan's five brothers, so he asked, "General Lu knows about them?"

"The last time when Wei Bo and Han Jian died, a certain person went with Wang Jun to pay tribute to the funeral. I heard from a lieutenant of Wei Bo's Ya Army that Han Jian attacked Yunzhou, Tianping Town, and later the Qin Army's Shandong garrison came to help. This was the one who led the troops at that time. The five Zhu Xuan brothers, although their reputation is not obvious, it is said that these five brothers were originally soldiers under Wang Jingwu of Ziqing Town, and later followed Cao Quanzhen to Tianping Town, and they were only small schools. One year, Cao Quanzhen went to Dengzhou to find Li Jing borrowed food, but Li Jing asked several towns for several people. Among them, he asked the family of Zhao Ji brothers from Chenzhou from Cui Anqian, the commander-in-chief of Zhongwu Town at that time, and asked the five brothers Zhu Xuan from Cao Quanzhang, the commander-in-chief of Tianping Town. Five thousand generals, Zeng Yuanyu, the general of the Shence Army, were left behind."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed slightly.No one expected that the five brothers of the Zhu family had such backgrounds.It turned out that Li Jing wanted to go there from other feudal towns. Look at the other people he wanted at that time, Zhao Ji and Zeng Yuanyu!These two men had already become generals of the Qin army, the commanders of one army, not only served as the governors of the five armies, but also guarded the north and south respectively.Zeng Yuanyu was in command of the Bohai Sea, and Zhao Ji was stationed in Huainan, so he could be said to be a truly independent general.

Since the Zhu brothers were asked by Li Jing to come here with these two people, how could there be any difference?Even if he wasn't as powerful as the Second General Zeng Zhao, he was definitely at the same level as Li Jing's Thirteenth Taibao.That year when Han Jian was defeated, everyone only thought that Yu Yu defeated Han Jian, and no one paid attention to the few unknown people.Having said that now, everyone has a deep impression of the Zhu Brothers.

In Li Jinghui's eyes, he deliberately exchanged food from Tianping Town to the Qin Army. When Wei Bo attacked Tianping Town, he led his troops to support Yu Yu and defeated Wei Bo's army.Really amazing!

"Could it be that the five brothers from the Zhu family are here now?" Lu Feng said to himself, "It doesn't matter if there is one or five, since all the Zhu brothers are here, I'm afraid this time the idea will be tricky!

Wang Shiyuan didn't know if it was Brother Zhu Xuan who came, he was silent, Lu Feng beside him gritted his teeth and said: "There are many enemies and we are few, even if Rao Yang is captured, it is meaningless. Ya Nei, 36 tricks, the best policy is to go. "

Seeing that Wang Shiyuan was still hesitating, but Qin Qi was getting closer and closer, Lu Feng hurriedly urged: "The yamen should make a quick decision. If you go back and blame the deputy commander, you can only blame someone."

Hearing what he said, Wang Shiyuan saw that the Zhao soldiers on the city had no intention of fighting, so he gritted his teeth, "Come on, let's go, let's call gold to withdraw!"

Amidst bursts of sound, the Zhao soldiers attacking the city retreated like a tide. The soldiers and civilians in Raoyang City were relieved at this moment, and they all lay exhausted among the corpses and blood everywhere, unable to pursue them at all. .

Iron hooves galloped, and the flying eagle flag soon arrived at the city of Raoyang.

Some people in the city opened the city gates to welcome the Qin army into the city.

Under Feiying's banner, Zhu Han looked at Zhao Jun who was slowly retreating, and a sneer appeared on his face.He declined the suggestion of the Raoyang county lieutenant and several wealthy parents in the city to invite him into the city. He raised his horsewhip, pointed at Zhao Jun who was retreating, and said, "I want to leave when I see us. It's really whimsical. If you want to leave, you have to ask." Let us answer or not. Send an order to go down and blow the charge horn, within [-] miles, charge with the whole car, let the people in Chengde Town see the power of our Hejian cavalry, let them know the serious consequences of saying no to us, kill us. !"

The horn sounded, fast and powerful.

The face of Wang Shiyuan who was retreating changed, this was the clarion call to charge.

The people of Qin are really deceiving people too much, they still refuse to let them evacuate even though they have a thousand riders?

"Set up the cannon and prepare to fight!" Wang Shiyuan roared.

The artillery battalion master trotted over, "Ya Nei, our Thunderbolt has already used up five thousand catties of gunpowder, now there are no gunpowder!"

Wang Shiyuan was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the artillery battalion owner, then at the Qin army cavalry who was speeding up, and then turned his head to look at the thousands of horses behind him.Finally, he sighed a long time, "Drop all the guns and evacuate at full speed!"

The soldiers and horse envoys of the artillery army stood there in a daze until Wang Shiyuan had already rode his horse forward, then he came back to his senses and shouted: "Yanei, these are more than 100 cannons, you can't throw them!"

Wang Shiyuan's cold voice came from the front, "In that case, then you should stay at the back of the hall!" After speaking, he left without looking back. (To be continued.)
