Han ride

Chapter 444 Hong Chengchou was defeated

"The world is so big that there are only two people who can control the general situation of the world. One is naturally the current emperor, and the other is a Jiannu. As for Li Xin, he is just a clown. Now, the emperor and Jiannu are fighting, and the final decision will be made. Whoever is in charge, in fact, no matter whether it is Li Xin or other forces, they are all paying attention to this matter. If the emperor wins, no matter whether it is other people or Li Xin, they will be loyal ministers. If the slaves win, more people will seek refuge in Jiannu." Jiang Guan glanced at the crowd triumphantly and said, "I have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Datong, and the best soldiers in this world come out of Datong. Although Datong is not in our hands right now, the soldiers But the horse is in our hands. I have already sent people to the vicinity of Huailai County. The two sides will fight. No matter who wins, our Datong soldiers and horses will fall. If the emperor wins, we will naturally still be the subjects of Daming. If Jiannu If we win, we will take refuge in our new master. We are like this, and so is Li Xin. Li Xin is also waiting. What will happen in the end? Li Xin and I are both ministers in the same palace. How about waiting for me?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and finally their eyes were wide open, and they stared at Jiang Yu. Although they knew that Jiang Yu was shameless, they didn't expect that Jiang Yu would actually want to join Jiannu. dissatisfied.

"General, do you want to seek refuge with Jianu?" Han Zhaoxuan looked at Jiang Yu with displeasure and asked.

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, and at this moment, he realized that the faces of the crowd were slightly dissatisfied, but he still explained: "Brothers, don't worry, the emperor has 15 troops, plus there are some King Qin's troops, which are enough to resist Jian Nu, building slaves is bound to fail. In this way, we are still the emperor's subjects; as for the emperor's failure, we will also take refuge in Jiannu, but this is only temporary, as soon as the time comes, we will naturally return to the rule of the Han people. Jiannu is a foreigner , how can I rule China, even if I defeat the emperor, it is impossible to enter the Central Plains, as long as I escape this catastrophe, I will definitely kill Li Xin."

"Even if I die, I won't go to Jiannu." Han Zhaoxuan thought for a while, finally sighed, and said, "Although Li Xin is hateful, he has to be said to be a hero. If the court If we are defeated, I am afraid that he is the only one who can restore our Han country, so why don’t the generals think about it?”

After Jiang Tuan heard this, his complexion changed slightly, but he quickly returned to his original appearance, and said with a smile: "Although I, Jiang Tuan, am a warrior, I am a Han Chinese after all. Naturally, I can't do the thing of recognizing a thief as my father. This kind of thing is only done as a last resort, after all, it doesn't matter if I, Jiang Yu, die, but there are still tens of thousands of brothers behind me, these people probably don't want to die with us!"

Everyone nodded after hearing this, and Han Zhaoxuan also showed satisfaction. Although he is Jiang Yu's friend, he is also a Han Chinese and a scholar. It is obviously impossible for him to seek refuge with Jiannu or a foreigner. .He also nodded inwardly after hearing Jiang Guan's words.

"Although Li Xin's army has besieged us now, we may not be in crisis." Jiang Yan glanced at everyone and said, "Look, everyone, his 10,000+ army has besieged us, how many people will there be in the cloud?" Soldiers and horses, our family members are in the hands of Li Xin. Li Xin is ambitious, so what will happen to our family members? As long as we attack the cloud, Li Xin will have to retreat. At that time, we will have a chance."

After hearing this, the generals nodded again and again. Everyone could roughly estimate the number of Li Xin's soldiers and horses. There may have been some omissions in the past, but it is different now. Jiang Yi led the army and rushed out to occupy Datong. Expose all Li Xin's soldiers and horses.There are definitely not many soldiers and horses in the cloud.This is Jiang Guan's chance to defeat Li Xin.

However, Li Xin is such a character, how could he forget Hong Chengchou who is attacking outside the pass!Han Zhaoxuan looked at Jiang Yu in his heart. Although he was a little suspicious, he felt a little regretful.Jiang Guan thought things were too complicated.If Li Xin can deal with it so easily, then it is not Li Xin.

Just as Han Zhaoxuan guessed, when Datong fell into Li Xin's hands, Li Xin's eyes were no longer on Datong. There may have been a shortage of troops before, but with the return of Huang Degong and Cao Bianjiao, Tens of thousands of elite cavalry fell into the hands of the North Army, and there was no danger of a shortage of troops. Shi Yuanzhi, who was adventurous in the clouds, would also be returned by Yang Xiong.Hong Chengchou is no longer an opponent. Of course, Li Xin hopes to recruit Hong Chengchou even more. As long as this person is there, the three sides will fall into his hands.

"Is there any news about Lu Xiangsheng?" Li Xin asked Hao Laosan.

"Not yet. However, this person is attacking Gao Yingxiang. Presumably, he just wants to return to King Junqin, and he has no chance." Hao Laosan hurriedly said: "Gao Yingxiang finally got his chance, and he will not let Lu Xiangsheng go. .Governor Chen Qiyu urged Lu Xiang to be promoted to king several times. And he did not hesitate to threaten to divide his troops."

"Lu Xiangsheng is loyal to Chongzhen. If he has the strength, he will go to serve the king. It is a pity that Gao Yingxiang dragged him to death. He has insufficient soldiers and horses. I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat Gao Yingxiang." Li Xin pointed He nodded, showing a trace of regret.Finally, he said: "Give the order to Yunzhong to let them capture Hong Chengchou alive. If they can't be captured alive, kill him! Then he ordered Yang Xiong to lead an army to block Zhangjiakou immediately, and not allow Jiannu to leave the customs. This time Let's deal with these guys together."

On the prairie, the night is silent, the sky is dotted with stars, and it seems extremely empty. Hong Chengchou is a scholar. If he used to be, he must be lying on the soft green grass, looking up at the starry sky, full of poetry, and maybe he can compose a poem. Famous poems have been passed down through the ages, but now he has no such thoughts, because this afternoon, he had already discovered the enemy's scouting horse at night, but it is a pity that his own night was too disappointing, Only one of the ten people came back, and he was still seriously injured. He hurriedly told the news he had heard, and died. This made Hong Chengchou feel a huge stone in his heart. Yunzhong, who is not far from him, was not defenseless. Force, at least one cavalry.

"Is there any news about Jiang Rang?" Hong Chengchou turned to look at his own soldiers and said.Jiang Rang went to kill Hukou by surprise. He hoped that Jiang Rang could capture Killhukou, and then he would come back to help him.

"There is no news yet." The soldier said quickly.

After Hong Chengchou listened, he nodded. Sometimes, no news is still news. Hong Chengchou doesn't know how many soldiers and horses Li Xin has deployed to kill Hukou. Unable to speak nonsense, he turned around and supported himself.

"Did you hear something?" Suddenly Hong Chengchou said to the soldiers beside him.

The soldier listened carefully, and finally shook his head and said: "There is no sound. My lord, is it too busy recently?" Before the words fell, his expression changed drastically, because he also noticed the ground shaking at this time.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack." Hong Chengchou yelled fiercely, he was very annoyed, although he had already guessed that the enemy might attack at night at this time, he even sent out a lot of Ye Buchao, sprinkled all over the surrounding area Within a range of ten miles, the enemy will come to report if there is any disturbance. Unexpectedly, the enemy still comes to the door of the house.

There was chaos in the camp. Although Hong Chengchou was extremely panicked, he had to say that his smooth army still had a different reaction, which was definitely not comparable to that of Yang Sichang. Soon, countless soldiers rushed out of their tents, holding hands. Holding all kinds of weapons, standing behind the fence, with bow and arrow, defending carefully, as long as the enemy appears, he will shoot the bow and arrow in his hand into the opponent's body.

Hong Chengchou saw these situations in his eyes, and his nervous heart calmed down. He stroked his beard and showed satisfaction on his face, which was an affirmation of his soldiers.

Suddenly, his eyes were wide open, and he stared at everything in front of him, only to see that the front was ablaze, like a sea of ​​fire, rushing towards his camp, and a word flooded into his heart in an instant.

"Quick, let the arrow go." Hong Chengchou roared loudly, his voice was shrill and terrified.The fire ox formation is a sharp weapon for charging into the formation, it can crush everything in front of it, and the attack will not stop until the fire ox dies.Of course, this fire ox array is also dangerous, because once the fire ox strikes in the wrong direction, it will attack its own camp instead.Therefore, in history, those generals all knew the fire bull formation, but no one dared to do it.No one knows whether these fire bulls will attack their camp!What I didn't expect was that someone in this place actually did it.If these fire bulls were to attack his camp, Hong Chengchou would be helpless no matter how capable he was.

In fact, without Hong Chengchou's order, his soldiers had already shot their bows and arrows one after another.Facing the flaming red, he shot his sharpest attack, and even those Frang machine guns began to show their power, attacking those fire bull formations.Seeing this, Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, the sound of guns was rumbling, and some fire cattle began to scatter around, which had little effect on Hong Chengchou's camp.But Hong Chengchou opened his mouth again, because he discovered that there was another group of fiery red bison rushing towards him in the distance, Hong Chengchou immediately understood.The feeling of conquering the Northern Army is not to use these fire bulls to attack the camp, and then defeat Hong Chengchou without a single soldier. Attack your own camp, in this way, it will cause chaos in the camp, and the enemy can just take the opportunity to defeat yourself.Thinking of himself, Hong Chengchou felt bitter. Even if these guys were sure that he would not go out of the camp to attack the opponent, he led most of them were cavalry, but on the grassland against the North Army, Hong Chengchou thought he was not so great power.The imperial army did not have such courage.

"I don't know who commanded it. It seems that they are so powerful. There are so many talented soldiers in the conquest of the North, and they are the great enemy of the court." Hong Chengchou suddenly thought of the Emperor Chongzhen who was fighting with Jiannu, and felt a pang in his heart. It's a pity that the Lord of Fortitude is much worse in planning, and he was deceived by Yang Sichang's kind words, resulting in the current situation.The day when Li Xin ravages the Central Plains may not be far away.Of course, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know if he could defeat Jiannu. If he could defeat Jiannu, it would be good, but if he couldn't, the future situation in the Central Plains would be hard to say.

In the distance, the army gathered, Shi Yuanzhi, Shang Kexi, Wang Fuchen and other troops were ready to attack, Shang Kexi and Wang Fuchen were full of excitement, and they were eager to try, wishing to kill Hong Chengchou immediately and defeat each other. Capture the final victory on the Western Front.They looked at Shi Yuanzhi with excited eyes, waiting for the other party's order.

However, Shi Yuanzhi still had a calm expression on his face. Looking into the distance, the roars of fire bulls could be heard continuously in the distance, as if they were struggling before dying. Although some fire bulls had already broken through the enemy's attack, It's a pity that the number of fire oxen is too small, and these fire oxen have no control, and have little impact on the opponent's fence. Once the fire starts, it will be extinguished by the opponent.However, it still had a great impact on the opponent's morale.

"Play another batch." Shi Yuanzhi's voice was extremely flat, but full of chill.This No.1 under Li Xin's command is definitely not a benevolent master, and once he is ruthless, it will be extremely terrifying.There is nothing else in the grassland, such bison and wild horses are everywhere. As for time, what Shi Yuanzhi lacks most now is time.

Shang Kexi and Wang Fuchen obviously also saw Shi Yuanzhi's calculation, took a breath in their hearts, and looked at Hong Chengchou in the distance with pity.This Hong Chengchou can be regarded as a famous general of the imperial court, but unfortunately, on the grassland, there are not enough troops, and he is facing a strong enemy. Faced with this situation, he is also helpless.

Sure enough, half an hour later, after Shi Yuanzhi's rogue attack, a fence was finally broken, and those running wild buffaloes seemed to have found a gap, and crazily killed towards that gap.

"Hurry up, plug the gap!" Hong Chengchou quickly found out what was wrong, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers around him loudly to block the gap. These soldiers have followed Hong Chengchou for a long time and are extremely loyal to him. After listening to Hong Chengchou's order, he rushed up without hesitation, and used his own flesh and blood to face the crazy bison.

Seeing his elite soldiers being engulfed and trampled by these fiery bulls like this, Hong Chengchou felt as if his heart had been cut by a knife, and his fists were tightly squeezed.His eyes were red, looking at everything in the distance.

It's a pity that once the gap appeared, it was difficult to block it. Although there were countless casualties, the screams of the soldiers shook Hong Chengchou's morale, and in the distance, teams of fire bulls charged Come over, hit the fence, light the fence, in an instant, in front of the camp of the Ming army, there are loopholes everywhere, and some fire ox even rushed through the fence, ran wild in the camp, lit the tent, and the flames flew across the Ming army. The army camp was full of flames.

"General, let's go!" Hong Chengchou's soldiers hurriedly said at this time.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is almost no chance of recovery when the war has reached the current level. If you stay in Qingshan, you are not afraid of running out of firewood.Naturally, the soldiers would not let Hong Chengchou die in this place.

"Escape, where can I escape?" Hong Chengchou looked bitterly at the banner of his Chinese army. He knew that the camp was in chaos now. Enemy real attack is coming.

Sure enough, at this time, the sound of drums outside the camp was earth-shattering, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. The Northern Zheng Army who had been waiting for a long time finally came. The Yuanmen, which were almost the same size, could not resist the attack of the Northern Army at all.

"It's time to play, now it's time to play." Hong Chengchou's eyes were lost. At this moment, he knew that he could not escape the fate of failure.

"Quick, quick, protect your lord to break through." The soldiers around him also said loudly.These people are not loyal to the imperial court, but to Hong Chengchou. These people get the most rewards and wear the strongest armor on weekdays, so they just remember Hong Chengchou, and they don't know the existence of Chongzhen.Hong Chengchou seemed to be a dead man, allowing his own soldiers to help him onto the horse, and then protected himself from rushing out of the rear.

"Don't run away from Hong Chengchou." At this time, Wang Fuchen's sharp eyes saw Hong Chengchou who was running away, and he roared loudly. Behind him, the three armies also shouted together.

The Ming army, who were fighting, also saw that their main general was running away at this time, and they had no intention of fighting, and dropped their weapons one after another, and scattered in all directions.

"Pass my order, capture Hong Chengchou alive." Shi Yuanzhi who was behind discovered the situation, with a smile on his face, he ordered to the soldiers around him.The order to capture Hong Chengchou alive spread throughout the three armies in an instant. Whether it was Shang Kexi or Wang Fuchen, they all abandoned the soldiers of the Ming army who were chasing and killing them, and they all killed Hong Chengchou together.

Hong Chengchou, who was running away, was angry and angry. Once upon a time, he was chased and killed by others in such a state of embarrassment. He chased and killed others by himself. Now it's good, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, now it's his turn Others chased and killed themselves.Originally, I was planning to take advantage of it, but I didn't expect to take advantage of it now, so I'm afraid I would have to accompany myself in.Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou was full of resentment towards the dead Yang Sichang. If it wasn't for this person, how could he be defeated?Tens of thousands of troops were defeated overnight by Shi Yuanzhi. Even if they arrived in Shaanxi, they might not be able to deal with those rebels.Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou was depressed for a while, and even his running speed slowed down.
