After Li Xiaofei's persuasion, Wang Fu stayed with more than a thousand remaining troops and stationed outside Wuchang City, waiting for the arrival of the three battalions of the Nanhai Baima Camp, the Dead Soldier Camp, and the Sword Shield Camp.

Under the instigation of his clansmen, Wang Yuanhua of Yuzhang City donated half of his family property to the court in exchange for the title of Marquis of Hongnong. Wang Yuanhua was too old to go into battle, so he asked his three sons to lead more than a thousand people with the Baima Camp.

We set off together.

The eldest son Wang Yaofu and the younger son Wang Ban are both unable to support themselves. They want to go out to work in the military. Only the second son Wang Yaoyun, who has been studying abroad for many years, is considered to be both civil and military. He is familiar with military books and can lift a three hundred kilogram millstone with one hand.

.

Chen Jingyi originally looked down on these young masters, and made sarcastic comments to each other along the way. Halfway through, he and Wang Yaoyun competed and ended in a draw, and then he looked at Wang Yaoyun in a new light.

Seeing that Wang Yaoyun was able to fight to a draw with the battle-hardened Chen Jingyi, Wang Yaofu and Wang Ban were even more impressive. Everyone they met would talk about how brave Wang Yaoyun was and how resourceful the two of them would be in the future.

Wang Yaoyun rarely spoke. On the march, he kept asking Chen Jingyi and others about the details of the march and fighting. Within a month, he became a regular customer with Chen Jingyi, Cai Guishan and Yu Tao.

While waiting for Chen Jingyi and others, Li Xiaofei and Hua Xiaoan helped Wang Fu train more than a thousand remaining people, and within a month, another 500 people left.

Wang Fu became a little anxious, "Master Li, our number is getting smaller and smaller. If this continues, other teams will attack the city and capture the territory, and we are still standing here!"

"Your Majesty, Prince Fu of Chang'an County, the city we conquered first was not a city. I kept you here just for your grandfather's sake. I don't want you to lead people to become cannon fodder! Chang'an City will not escape there, so I will treat you three times."

When the battalion arrives, they will definitely help you capture Chang'an City!"

"But I heard that the young master of the Xiao family has captured Xinyang for half a month! Xinye, Dengzhou and Yingchuan have also been captured by other families! We are still in Wuchang now. If they go to Chang'an in advance, our Wang family will

Even the fiefdom is gone!”

"Wang Tiezhu, He Wuji, and Zhong Zhiming in the north have not been dispatched. If any of these three people come here, none of the newly acquired cities can be saved! You can just wait and see. After practicing this month, your team has improved a lot, but

Still lack of actual combat experience. There is a big difference between a man cutting a grass stake and a white knife going in and a red knife coming out. It takes a lot of courage to kill people on the battlefield for the first time!"

"Master Li, to be honest, I think you are a little afraid of the enemy. You have fought so many victorious battles, but you are still worried about what the enemy will do. There are dozens of rebel teams and there will be no one who can fight them! You are talking about Wei Guosan

Famous generals, I have also checked their records, but they are nothing more than that!"

Li Xiaofei felt a little resentful that iron could not become steel. This Wang Fu was too impatient and underestimated the enemy. When he thought about the other rebel teams, Li Xiaofei suddenly felt a chill.

There has been no news from Wang Tiezhu, He Wuji, and Zhong Zhiming for a month, and there has been no news from Zhu Asan at Sanjiangkou.

The progress of dozens of rebel armies was so smooth that Liu Jian and Liu Mingge found it incredible. At this time, the imperial court had already moved to Jiangling.

After receiving the secret report from the people in the sword tower, Liu Mingge met with Liu Jian late at night and asked Liu Jian and a group of ministers to cross the river to Wuchang overnight.

The secret report showed that Wang Tiezhu led 300 people to raid Jiangling, preparing to kill Liu Jian and his ministers in one fell swoop.

Liu Jian left, but Cui Guangyuan expressed his objection: "Your Majesty, can't you trust the Cui family or can't trust me? Even if Wang Tiezhu leads 30,000 people, we can still hold it! Let alone 300 people!"

Liu Jian was used to escaping, so he held Cui Guangyuan with both hands and said, "General Cui, you can also go with me. The opponent that Mr. Liu thinks he must avoid is naturally not a person for nothing!"

Liu Mingge also pulled Cui Guangyuan: "Wang Tiezhu is invincible in the world. The three hundred people he led are all people with natural supernatural powers and unique skills. They are far beyond the comparison of ordinary dead soldiers! Hasn't the general heard the story of Wang Tiezhu leading eight hundred people to attack Jinling?"

?”

Just as Cui Guangyuan was about to speak, fire broke out from the south gate and loud shouts of death were heard.

Wang Tiezhu had already broken through the south gate. Next to Wang Tiezhu were two strong men carrying giant axes to break the door. Wang Tiezhu was still charging with the big copper hammer.

Liu Jianjunjun was about to go to the east gate when Liu Mingge immediately stopped him, "Wang Tiezhu will definitely not let us out of the city. There must be ambushes at the four gates! At present, the only way is to set fire to the city and take advantage of the chaos to get out of the city!"

Cui Guangyuan stamped his foot, "If the hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangling City were burned down, how many people would be homeless and buried in the flames! Could it be that the tens of thousands of people in Jiangling City couldn't stop these three hundred people? Beat the drum! I, Cui Guangyuan, will die today.

Don’t burn down the house here either!”

Cui Guangyuan ordered the drums to be assembled to resist Wang Tiezhu. Liu Mingge protected Liu Jian and retreated into a Taoist cave.

Cui Guangyuan's soldiers were all battle-hardened soldiers and were not afraid of Wang Tiezhu's attack. In a short time, they gathered fifty chariots and two thousand archers to besiege Wang Tiezhu.

Wang Tiezhu threw the bronze hammer in his hand vigorously and smashed several chariots. Two strong men swung their giant axes horizontally, and the remaining forty men connected their shields together. Not a single arrow could pass through.

Wang Tiezhu gradually approached Cui Guangyuan under the cover of his giant ax and shield.

Cui Guangyuan swung his sword and slashed at Wang Tiezhu. Wang Tiezhu jumped up and grabbed Cui Guangyuan's sword, breaking it abruptly. Cui Guangyuan abandoned the sword and jumped back into his own formation to take a spear and prepare to attack again. Wang Tiezhu shouted, "Crash it over!"

The two strong men with giant axes swung their giant axes and rammed towards the chariot. The two front chariots immediately disintegrated. Cui Guangyuan also made a prompt decision and threw his spear over. Cui Jiajun also followed Cui Guangyuan and threw the spear. The two strong men

Although there were more than a dozen spears in his body, he remained standing and continued to slash forward.

Wang Tiezhu jumped into the pile of chariots from behind, picked up a chariot with each hand and flew out. Cui Guangyuan knew that he could no longer stop him at this sight, so he grabbed the horse and said, "Get out! Don't die in vain!"

When the Cui army heard the order to withdraw, they broke away from the battle and fled.

Fortunately, Wang Tiezhu's target was Liu Jian and the others, so Cui Guangyuan escaped.

There were eighty people ambushing each of the north gate, west gate and east gate. Liu Jian and his ministers were caught in a trap with a trip horse rope while they were waiting for their lives.

In addition to Liu Mingge, Liu Jian and Zhou Dapeng and Cui Guangyuan who were in the city, many ministers were captured not far after leaving the city.

Wang Tiezhu searched the city all night, but could not find Liu Jian, so he had to sneak away with a group of captured Liang ministers.

After Liu Jian narrowly escaped death, he immediately took Liu Mingge, Zhou Dapeng and Cui Guangyuan across the river to Wuchang.

Everyone in Wuchang was in shock, and a series of bad news came from the front line. He Wuji and Zhong Zhiming defeated dozens of rebel armies overnight, and many of the leaders and feudal lords became victims of the Wei army.

The hope that the rebels could contain the main force of the Wei army had been completely dashed, and Liu Jian had no choice but to convene everyone to discuss countermeasures again.

Cui Guangyuan still remembers the battle with Wang Tiezhu: "The Wei army is good at dismounting and fighting on foot. If they hadn't been able to attack more quickly,

If they are not wearing heavy armor, it will be difficult for us to kill one of them! If the two armies are facing each other and the Wei army is wearing heavy armor and cannot cut with swords or stab with spears, it will be even more dangerous!"

"It seems that the Wei army is just for defense and fighting in the streets in the city! If they go out to the city to fight in the field, I am afraid they will also use horseback to form a camp and fight in close combat! To deal with this kind of heavy armored infantry, they must either attack with fire or use blunt weapons. They will not fail to set fire.

, you have to have a chance to get close to them even if you want to hit them with a blunt weapon!" Li Xiaofei experienced the last battle with the Pei family's caravan and had his own experience in dealing with heavy armored infantry.

"In my opinion, the Wei army only has these 300 men with heavy armor. Wei's national strength is not enough to equip large-scale equipment! So since they appear in the west, we might as well go to the east to fight! He fights his, we fight

Ours!" Zhou Dapeng felt that he had to avoid the enemy's sharp edge and pinched the weak ones.

"But we still have dozens of civil and military officials captured by them! If we don't rescue them, it will make the world laugh!" Liu Mingge felt that it was a pity that Li Jianshang was captured, and as a court, he even protected his own important ministers.

If you don’t, your prestige will indeed be ruined!

"Now, who is rushing to chase Wang Tiezhu? What Prime Minister Liu said makes sense, but the problem is that we can't defeat Wang Tiezhu! If someone can defeat Wang Tiezhu, will I still have to cross the river to escape?" Liu Jian felt that this time it was too much.

Too much of a coward, but there's nothing I can do about it

"Your Majesty, I feel that they will not be able to move quickly with dozens of civil and military officials! If we send people to tear down the bridges and flood the roads along the way, there may be a chance! Anyway, we cannot let these ministers be taken to Luoyang!"

Zhuang Xunshan, the imperial censor who was lucky enough not to be captured, said

"Doctor Zhuang, if I were Wang Tiezhu, I would not escort people to Luoyang by land at all. I would definitely send people to go north with great fanfare. For those who are really being escorted, I would take the waterway eastward along the river to Jinling!" Li Xiaofei immediately retorted.

Before Zhuang Xunshan could continue to speak, Liu Jian spoke, "I think what Li Xiaofei said makes sense! In order to verify this, I think General Cui and Li Xiaofei will lead the people to continue the pursuit north, while Prime Minister Liu and Marshal Zhou will intercept and investigate on the river.

Passing ships!”

Li Xiaofei took the men of the Third Battalion who had just arrived a few days ago, as well as Wang Fu and Wang Yaoyun's men, to cross the river and head north. This time Wang Fu was no longer frivolous. First, the news of defeat and death on the front line had a great impact on him. Second,

What Cui Guangyuan told along the way about Wang Tiezhu's attack on Jiangling with 300 men really frightened them.

Along the way, even Brother Wang Yaofu, who always liked to brag, fell silent, and even regretted following him out to fight. From what Cui Guangyuan said, Wang Tiezhu was a monster.

The interception by Zhou Dapeng and Liu Mingge was effective after a few days. Seeing the interception on the river, Wang Tiezhu led his men to abandon the ship and sneak ashore and sneak away to the north. Except for six of the captured ministers who were seriously injured and died, the rest were finally not captured.

Take him to Jinling.

The first thing Li Jianshang did when he saw Liu Jian was to eat. He was starved by Wei Jun for five days on the ship. Li Jianshang ate two roast chickens and a steamed goose before he recovered.

Liu Jian expressed his greetings and concern, but Li Jianshang didn't pay attention. Instead, he talked endlessly about the information he had learned from Wei Jun.

Zhu Yaoshi was dying. This raid on Jiangling and the sweep of the rebel army were personally arranged by Zhu Yaoshi. It is said that he fell unconscious after the deployment.
