Chapter 540 Infighting
(Thanks to the unchanging star, the ninth sky, the monthly tickets for the Hell Falcon, and also to Mengmeng Mengmeng Mengmeng, Xiongchu Eagle for the rewards and birthday red envelopes!)
Linyi City is full of shouts of killing. In this chaotic dark night, communication is extremely inconvenient.
Wang Xianzhi is very angry and angry now. His military camp in the north of the city had just been attacked, and there were not many troops coming, but he was extremely cruel and killed without warning. He was constantly arrows, crossbows and arrows, and torches flew across. After being attacked suddenly, Wang Xianzhi's first thought was that Huang Chao had attacked him.
Thinking about the day when he arrived at the city of Linyi, Huang Chao not only did not come to greet him, but even a general of some weight was not sent. He only sent a surrendered general from the town to come, which made him disgusted for a long time. Now, the sudden attack made him even more confirm that Huang Chao was going to get angry with him.
Apart from Huang Chao, there will never be another person who wants someone's life. The official army also wants his life, but there will be no official army within a hundred miles of nearby areas. As for Wang Jingwu, they have no grievances in the past and no grudges in the near future. He will never come to deal with him. Only Huang Chao will deal with him.
Although Wang Xianzhi was defeated repeatedly in the face of the official army, he was also a big salt vendor who was circulating in the Central Plains and led his brothers to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. His cruelty was extraordinary. As soon as he received the news of his attack, Wang Xianzhi immediately roared and ordered his brothers to summon him to kill Huang Chao at the south gate.
Since the two sides can no longer coexist, either you die or I die! As early as when he was selling private salt to get involved in the underworld, Wang Xianzhi had experienced such a fire several times and was not unfamiliar with these.
Wang Xianzhi ordered and more than 3,000 elite troops from his troops immediately rushed to Nancheng.
At the beginning, the chaos broke out in the north city, and soon the chaos spread to the entire Linyi City. At the beginning, Wang Xianzhi's men rushed straight to the south city. Later, they had already fought in a melee and killed everyone as soon as they saw them. Even the Wang Jing's army stationed in the east city was brought in.
In the midst of a melee, everyone wants to protect themselves.
Huang Chao heard that the chaos in the north city was in chaos, and thought it was a mutiny by Wang Xianzhi's troops. Then he received Wang Xianzhi's light cavalry and rushed to Nancheng. He directly shattered the sandalwood table with a sword, and roared, "Despicable, shameless!" The matter was obvious. Huang Chao believed that Wang Xianzhi launched a mutiny and wanted to fire and fight himself and seize control of the Cao army. Originally, Huang Chao did not want to deal with Wang Xianzhi immediately, after all, he has not escaped from the encirclement of the twelve towns of the imperial court. At this time, fire and fight have a huge impact on the morale of the army. Wang Xianzhi is no longer cowardly, but he is still the nominal governor of the Cao army. They still need this flag and the name of Wang Xianzhi. But now, Wang Xianzhi dares to take action first at such a time, and Huang Chao will naturally not tolerate concessions.
Huang Chao immediately sent a commander to all the camps and battalions to send orders, asking them to immediately order their troops to calm the mutiny.
After Wang Jingwu discovered the turmoil in the city, he initially wanted to remain neutral, but soon Wang Jingwu received the news that his military camp was also attacked and suffered heavy casualties. Now Wang Jingwu became angry and couldn't help but wonder, could this internal strife between the thieves be fake, and was it true that they wanted to take the opportunity to annex their troops?
Unable to wait for him to think more, the attacks on the Qizhou barracks in Dongcheng were getting more and more fierce, and the Qizhou soldiers had already launched a counterattack.
The entire Linyi City has become a Shura hell, with melee everywhere. Wang Xianzhi's troops attacked Huang Chao's troops, Qizhou soldiers attacked Cao army, and Cao army attacked Qizhou soldiers. In the end, they almost killed everyone as soon as they saw it, and were in chaos.
Duan Shan brought brothers from the 500 Special Battle Camp and the 500-square-square Luya soldiers from the first battalion of Song Xi's troops into Linyi from the hidden tunnel. Duan Shan's troops entered the city first. They entered the north city from the tunnel to the north, and once they entered the city, they entered the Wang Xianzhi military camp in the north city with thunder. The two armies fought, but after only a moment of fighting, something that surprised Duan Shan very much happened. Wang Xianzhi quickly came to his senses. Thousands of cavalry quickly emerged from the camp, but they did not come for them, but roared past and rushed to the south city.
At first, Duan Shan thought they were going to meet with Huang Chao, and there was no pursuit at the moment. He just continued to clear the North City and prepared to pick up the troops outside the city into the city. Who knew that after a moment, the South City also fought. After a while, Song Xi led a battalion of troops to the North City, and as soon as he met, he brought news that shocked him.
"Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao fought and fought in chaos!" Song Xi's tears were almost falling.
At this time, Duan Shan finally understood that Wang Xianzhi had just mistaken them for Huang Chao's troops.
The two laughed loudly, and Duan Shan said excitedly: "This is an excellent opportunity. We don't rush to lead the army into the city. We will add another fire to the three thieves Huang Chao, Wang Xianzhi and Wang Jingwu, so that they can be a little more confused, the more chaos, the better."
Song Xi also agreed immediately. The two of them immediately led their headquarters and rushed to the camp of Wang Jingwu in Dongcheng. On the way, they deliberately carried several flags of Huang Chao's troops. After the attack, the Wang Jingwu army was quickly involved in the chaos.
Duan Shan and Song Xi each led their headquarters to set fire everywhere in the city and killed everywhere. Anyway, the three troops in the city were all thieves.
The chaos of a thousand officials' troops made the war in Linyi city more and more powerful. Although Huang Chao gradually felt that the battle was a bit inexplicable, he sent people to Zhuchengmen Gate several times, and the rewards he received were all the security of Zhuchengmen Gate, and no trace of the official army was found outside the city.
If the official army had not entered the city, even if some internal forces of the official army lurked in the city, it would never have been possible to cause such great chaos. And what is more important is that when things have reached this point, they will be killed if they don’t kill anyone. He and Wang Xianzhi have been completely divided, and even if they have a relationship with Wang Jingwu, they probably cannot explain it clearly. The most important thing at the moment is not to find out the cause of the chaos, but to save it in the chaos.
The chaos in the entire Linyi City was like the camp roar in the dark night. Even if Huang Chao, Wang Jingwu, Wang Xianzhi and others found something wrong, they were powerless. Such a chaos in the dark night had completely evolved into a camp roar. Not to mention that there were three people in the city, most of them were recruits. Even if the soldiers and horses in the city were all elite officials, once such chaos in the camp roar occurred, even if the Heavenly King came, it would be weak to turn the world.
Now the three of them can only follow the trend, hoping that the chaos can stop earlier.
At this time, in Linyi City, you or I will die. Huang Chao, Wang Xianzhi, and Wang Jingwu all began to summon their subordinates with all their strength, trying to defeat the opponent's troops, and then gather them.
"Master, the matter is like sailing against the current, and you will retreat without advancing. The current plan is that only strength can quell the chaos. I think that although this is a crisis, it is also an opportunity. Take this opportunity to eliminate Wang Jingwu and Wang Xianzhi in one fell swoop. With such a unified order, we can have a glimmer of hope under the command of the Master." Huang Chao's counselor Zhao Zhang saw the chaos in front of him, and did not care about not even putting on his shoes when he ran away in panic just now, and immediately suggested to Huang Chao.
Another adviser, Gai Hong, also agreed, "Master, although there are many strange things about the matter tonight, the knife is put on the neck and I don't care about so much. No matter what the reason is, after the chaos tonight, can the Master still place hopes to live with the two kings?"
Huang Chao had a deep face and pondered for a while, and finally ordered: "Wang Xianzhi colluded with Wang Jingwu and could not tolerate us. He was ruthless, so don't blame me for being unrighteous. If you pass the order, you will see Wang Xianzhi, Wang Jingwu will kill you without mercy. The two thieves' troops surrendered and avoid death. The resisters will also kill you without mercy." After saying that, Huang Chao paused again, "Call the city gate defenders to fight and wipe out the two thieves together!"
This military order was a chaotic battle before, and the situation changed immediately. Wang Xianzhi and Wang Jingwu's troops rushed in a mess. The elite troops gathered behind Huang Chao's troops suddenly rushed over without saying a word. They rushed over all the way, completely ignoring whether Wang Xianzhi's troops or Wang Jingwu's troops were in front of them. In an instant, the troops of the two kings who fought in the melee fell down in groups.
Huang Chao's nephew led a thousand light cavalry to raise their swords and stomp through them. The chaotic troops on the street immediately collapsed, and Lin Yan rushed over.
Duan Shan and Song Xi also discovered the escalation of the melee in the city. Seeing that Huang Chao and Wang Xianzhi and Wang Jingwu had already begun to take out the most elite cavalry to form a formation to kill, they already understood that the three thieves had completely split and internal strife. Seeing that the three sides' troops quickly turned from the three sides' chasing to Huang Chao to kill Wang Jingwu and Wang Xianzhi's two troops. The three sides' troops gradually gathered in the various units like snowballs, Duan Shan and Song Xi were very clever and immediately took the two battalions of 1,000 troops to retreat to the city gate, and temporarily hiding.
Since the thief army is in conflict, of course they have to wait for them to fight first, then open the city gate and lead the army into the city, and finally sweep the thief army.
On the dim street of fire, the three brothers Zhu Wen were covered in blood and killed all the way. Bi Shiduo fled under the escort of fifty elite servants, and Zhu Wen chased after him.
Bi Shiduo fled and shouted, "Brothers, they are all brothers from Cao Jun, and they are all their own people!"
Zhu Wen's eyes were cold, but he just rode his horse to chase him.
Two miles outside Linyi City, Song Wei was wearing a big red cloak, holding a sword in his hand, staring at the fire in Linyi City, and the sound of killing was deafening.
The shouts of killing have lasted for more than an hour, and it is the last dark moment before dawn.
"Master, the city gate is opened, and the light to enter the city is set!" Cui Yunqing shouted excitedly at Song Wei.
Five lanterns swayed on the city gate tower, which was a signal of entering the city. Song Wei smiled on his face and chuckled: "It seems that the thieves are almost infighting in the internal affairs. The commander's military orders, Han Zhong and Liu Jian, each led 3,000 troops from the east and west gates to enter the city. Song Wen, Cui Decheng and other generals followed the commander from the north gate and entered the city. Xu Cheng led 5,000 troops and horses to ambush ten miles outside the southern city to intercept deserters. In this battle, you must fight to fight."
