subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Standing on the mound, Zhu Wen watched the former army of Pinglu army go away.

Under the impact of Lin Yan and Meng Kai, the rear of the Pinglu Army gradually decreased. The crazy counterattack of 4000 troops also caused a lot of casualties to the rebels, but it was only a matter of time before the 4000 troops were encircled and wiped out.

Zhu Wen glanced at Huang Chao next to him. Huang Chao had a leisurely expression, as if what they were watching was not a war, but an interesting game.

Huang Chao seemed to know what Zhu Wen was thinking, and said slowly: "If you want to achieve great things, you must first have a firm mind. A true commander cannot affect the overall situation of the battlefield because of personal happiness and anger, let alone be a woman."

He turned his head to look at Zhu Wen, and continued: "You have great talent, and you are also a martial arts prodigy. Your achievements in the future will not be inferior to mine. But your shortcoming is that you are too kind. Being kind to the enemy on the battlefield is cruel to yourself. One thing you have to keep in mind at all times.”

Zhu Wen smiled wryly and said, "Thank you, master, for reminding me, my apprentice has memorized it."

Huang Chao looked at his expression, shook his head and sighed: "You are kind by nature, you shouldn't be involved in this killing, but now the world is in chaos, I can only blame you for being born at the wrong time. If you were born in a peaceful time, you would definitely be able to do it." A generation of famous figures, but there is no need for kindness in war-torn times, and kind people can only be fish for others. Do you know this truth?"

Zhu Wen was grateful in his heart, and said: "I understand this principle, but if I really do it, I'm afraid..."

The two masters and apprentices were talking, and the sergeants standing guard at the foot of the mountain were in chaos, and Huang Chao's five hundred soldiers immediately went on alert.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and a group of cavalry appeared almost out of thin air. There were more than 2000 cavalry, and behind the cavalry were more than a thousand infantry. The 4000 men and horses with bright armor and dazzling swords came to kill Huang Chao and others on the mound.

When Huang Chao's sentry found out, the cavalry was only less than a thousand steps away from the mound.

It turned out that Zhu Xuan suggested that Wang Jingwu and Cao Quanzhu should lead 4000 troops to attack Huang Chao and others who had left the brigade on the mound. 4000 people came around the mound from the dense forest and mounted their horses to attack. Zhu Xuan, Zhu Jin, and Zhu Qiong each led [-] cavalry to attack the mound in three routes. More than four hundred steps.

More than a thousand infantry followed closely behind, their knives and guns shining brightly in the sun.

Huang Chao's five hundred personal guards are the most elite troops of Huang Chao's troops. They have formed a defensive formation hastily, and three rows of strong bows and crossbows are facing the officers and troops.

When the first round of arrow rain was shot, 200 soldiers fell from the army, and in the second round of arrow rain, more than [-] people fell from the horse.But at this time, the officers and soldiers had already approached, and after the third round of arrow rain, Huang Chao's relatives raised their sabers one after another, condescending to meet the officers and soldiers hand to hand.

Most of Huang Chao's pro-army are confidantes who have followed Huang Chao for many years, most of them are old brothers from the Salt Gang, all of them have extraordinary skills, and their combat experience is by no means comparable to that of the officers and soldiers. .

Lin Yan and Meng Kai had also received the signal from Huang Chao, knowing that the coach was in danger, they all evacuated towards the mound.

In a blink of an eye, there were only less than [-] wounded soldiers of the Pinglu Army left on the battlefield of Guandao. They escaped by chance, but they dared not pursue them.

At this time, Song City had been besieged for more than half a month, and Song Wei stood on the tower, looking at Wang Xianzhi's army below the city.He had already received the news of Huang Chao's withdrawal. Half an hour ago, Shang Rang led thousands of troops to the north.

Song Wei thought: "Are reinforcements coming from the north? Or are the bandits seeing that they have been unable to attack for a long time and are planning to divide up and retreat? At this time, there are only 2 bandits outside the city. Do I want to go out of the city and fight to the death with the bandits?"

Song Wei was in the middle of the committee, and Yang Fuguang, the supervisor, said: "Our army has been trapped in the city for a long time, food and grass are not enough, and most of the soldiers and horses starve to death. Now that the enemy army outside the city is weak, it must be reinforcements from the north. If Marshal Song doesn't send troops again, I'm afraid the time will not be with me Ah! Once the bandits overwhelm the reinforcements from the north, we can only sit and wait for death."

Song Wei murmured: "The bandits have besieged Song City for a long time, and they wanted to fight our army under the city. Our army has been able to support it for such a long time with strong walls and high fortifications. How do you know that it is not the bandits who set up suspicious formations to lead our army out of the city for a decisive battle?"

Yang Fuguang snorted and said, "Could it be that we just sit and wait for death? Marshal Song, as the envoy to suppress the bandits, is so timid, where will he put [-] soldiers in the city?"

Song Wei said without showing any weakness: "There are not only [-] soldiers and horses in the city, but also more than [-] people! If our army goes out of the city easily and falls into the tricks of the bandits, and the army is cut off from the way outside the city, I Song Wei It is not a pity for a certain person to die, and the more than one hundred thousand people in the city will not be ravaged by thieves? Are you responsible for this?"

The two were at each other's throats, refusing to give in to each other, and their four eyes stared at each other like fighting cocks.Song Wei's white beard fluttered, and Yang Fuguang's face was wrinkled. The two old men who had gone through many vicissitudes were exhausted like this.

Huang Chao's brigade gradually gathered in the direction of the mound. Although it was only three miles away, it seemed to be separated by thousands of rivers and mountains.Now Huangchao has been deeply surrounded, and 4000 people are densely packed around the small mound.

Huang Chao's five hundred pro-army straddled their horses and raised their knives, blocking wave after wave of attacks. Every time someone fell, another person would immediately make up for it.However, the gap between the numbers of the two sides was too great. Five hundred iron guards who had experienced many battles fell one by one in a pool of blood. Although more enemies fell, the defensive formation was still getting smaller and smaller.

More than 1000 of the [-] officers and soldiers fell down, and were mercilessly trampled under by the men and horses who rushed up from behind.Of Huang Chao's five hundred iron guards, there were only less than four hundred left, and most of them were injured to varying degrees.

Huang Chao stepped onto the horse without saying a word, and gripped tightly the tiger-headed silver gun that had been with him for decades. It was not the first time he faced this kind of scene. There was no fear in his eyes, only a bloodthirsty cold light .Decades of fighting have allowed him to develop the ability to cross the battlefield, and also cultivated his defiance of everything.

As the silver gun passed, blood rained, and the white gun cherry was dyed the color of blood.The silver guns flashed in succession, and those who blocked them were invincible.

The blood was splashed in the air, and the flesh and blood were trampled in the middle of the soil by the horses. The low mound seemed to have been baptized by blood and became a Shura hell on earth.Huang Chao is confident that he will persist until the arrival of Lin Yan and Meng Kai's army. If the enemy does not retreat, they will only be wiped out.

Zhu Wen watched the fighting between the two sides at such a close distance, but he seemed to have no intention of joining the battle. All this happened so suddenly and so tragically.

Huang Ying's long whip fluttered like a spirit snake. The pure steel whip was as light and swift as a toy in her hands. In the blink of an eye, more than ten people had fallen under her steel whip.On this kind of battlefield, falling down means death. When a person falls down, there will be countless pairs of horseshoes stepping down mercilessly.

The officers and soldiers had already rushed up, but Zhu Wen still looked at all this blankly, feeling so unreal.Live lives turned into bloody corpses in an instant, but all of this appeared in front of him so truly, his heart was blanked by the bloody scene.

A long knife slashed at Zhu Wen's head, but he seemed to turn a blind eye and showed no intention of avoiding it.At the moment when the steel knife was about to hit his head, a steel whip wrapped around the steel knife from the side, and sparks shot out, making a loud steel clang.A guard of Huang Chao turned his hand and chopped off the officer's head, splashing blood all over Zhu Wen's face.

Zhu Wen woke up from his contemplation with a start, and Huang Ying's concerned and puzzled eyes came into view.

Zhu Wen clamped the horse's belly fiercely, and the plain knife in his hand drew a semicircle in the air, and landed on the left shoulder of the officer behind Huang Ying who was trying to sneak attack.The blood seemed to be able to arouse the killing intent in people's hearts. He was not as soft as he imagined in the first murder, and he didn't stop at all. The knife raised and fell, and the blood wetted his armor and wet his face. He didn't have time to care about it either.

But he didn't see that Huang Ying behind him cast admiring eyes on his back, and a knowing smile appeared on her pretty face.Long whips fluttered, long knives swung...
