Chapter 744 Kill Zhu
The emperor was lucky enough to see the whole world, and the towns in the world completely gave up on the Li Tang royal family.
For a time, the world was full of turmoil and all forces began to make their own plans. Just when Li Jing captured Suzhou and the Huai Army General Chen Qi led his army to surrender to Li Jing, the Central Plains also had drastic changes.
Guo An, the general of Caozhou under Tianping Town, saw that the emperor gave up Luoyang and Chang'an and fled to Shu, and Li Jing gave up Tianping Town. He handed over Tianping Town to Yu Ren, between Huang Chao and Li Jing. Finally, Guo An was persuaded by his neighbor Zhu Wen's lobbyist. On the tenth day of June, he suddenly launched a mutiny and killed Liu Xu, the governor of Caozhou in Tianping Town, and led his army to surrender to Zhu Wen, the governor of Xuanwu, the Great Qi Dynasty.
On June 15th, Yu Jun, the governor of Tianping Army, led 10,000 troops to counterattack Lihu in Caozhou. Xin Xu, the governor of the Xuanwu Army of Tang, also received a request from Yu Jun at this time and led the Songzhou army to turn around to support him. Xin Xu did not send troops northeast to meet Yu Jun. Instead, he advanced northwest along the canal, passed Ningling and Xiangyi, and went straight to the southwest of Caozhou, southwest of Caozhou, to the northwest of Songzhou, and made a move toward Bianzhou, Zhuwen's base camp.
At the same time, Yu Jun sent someone to contact Yicheng Army Du envoy Kang Chenghui, asking him to send troops south, respond to Xin Xu, and attack Zhu Wen from north to south.
Zhu Wen heard that Tianping, Xuanwu and Yicheng wanted to jointly attack Bianzhou, but did not dare to be careless, so he hurriedly marched back to Bianzhou to defend the foundation.
At the junction of the two states of Bian and Cao, the north bank of Baigou, Baishan.
On the mountain, Xin Feng was holding a thousand-mile mirror and looking into the east. Wherever he saw, there was silence everywhere.
"Kang Shuai, do you think Zhu Wen will really pass by here?"
Kang Chenghui, the governor of Yicheng Army, also held a thousand-mile mirror in his hand, and smiled when he heard the words: "Ji Yu told us before that as long as our three towns send troops according to the plan he said, Zhu Wen would not dare to fight and would retreat. What is it now? Everything is as Ji Yu expected. Zhu Wen did retreat without fighting. Since Ji Yu also said that Zhu Wen would pass by here, it would definitely not be bad."
Xin Xi was nearly sixty years old. After the governor resigned a few years ago, he thought his career would end. However, he saved Li Jing once because of injustice. As a result, he became the deputy ambassador of Datong Town, and now he has become the governor of Xuanwu. Although the governor of Xuanwu was not very satisfied, he only had one Songzhou under his command and one Xuanwu governor of the pseudo-Qi. However, no matter what, Xin Xi did not refuse.
Although everyone in the world can see that Li Tang is invincible and can't support it alone. Xin Xi valued loyalty and righteousness the most, even if it was, he would persist until the end. Although it seems that Li Jing is not really loyal to the Tang Dynasty, at least, Li Jing is still fighting against Huang Chao, a pseudo-Qi who openly rebels against Tang and proclaims himself emperor, so he will continue to support Li Jing.
"It's a pity that we have too few soldiers and are not elite enough. Otherwise, when the dog thief Zhu Wen arrives, we will take this opportunity to destroy him."
On the surface, the two pretended to attack Bianzhou, but in fact they were just feints. Only a small number of soldiers and horses were bluffing and pretending. The real soldiers and horses in the two towns were actually ambushed on the border of Caobian, setting up an ambush circle, and waiting for Zhu Wen to get in.
Xin Xi, Kang Chenghui and Zhu Wen are not in good condition. Zhu Wen's existence is the biggest threat to the two. At the same time, they all know that Zhu Wen was an officer under Li Jing in his early years, but in the end he defected to the thief and now he has become a general. Xin Xi and Kang Chenghui don't like this, and they are now planning to beat Zhu Wen. Unfortunately, the two of them have just taken over the new position, and their total soldiers are only 20,000. Moreover, half of them are newly recruited soldiers. They are not trained enough and have no good armor and equipment.
Li Jing has elite soldiers, but unfortunately Li Jing is now planning to Xuzhou and has no spare energy.
A cavalry rushed to the scene, and the knight immediately rolled down and reported: "Report that the Bian Army's vanguard is coming, and there are still thirty miles left!"
Xin Xi ordered in a deep voice: "The whole army is ready!"
In the afternoon, a group of soldiers came winding and soon crashed into the ambush circle between Xin Xi and Kang Chenghui.
"Kill!" Xin Xi gave the order, and in an instant, Yicheng, who was ambushing the mountain on the roadside, suddenly stood up and shouted and shouted to kill.
The archers in the two towns fired the arrow first, and the arrow fell like rain and overturned the Bian Army. Immediately afterwards, the catapults and crossbows covered with branches also removed their disguises and began to project. Xin Xi even held both hands and held a general holding a horse and a sword, leading a thousand cavalry to rush out from behind the mountain, leading the cavalry to attack the Bian Army's troops violently, trying to cut the Bian Army.
Zhu Wen was suddenly ambushed and was also shocked.
Ding Hui, the general of the Bian Army's former army, was attacked, but he was not afraid. He drew his sword and called for orders, "Defend on the spot!"
When the Bian Army heard the order, they began to form a small circular formation according to the formation, defend on the spot, stabilize the formation, and then move closer to the center. The small formation slowly merged into a middle formation, and the middle formation finally gathered into a large formation.
Kang Chenghui, who was gathering infantry at the foot of the mountain, couldn't help but secretly admire him when he saw the Bian army reacting like this. However, these thieves were not just ordinary people.
However, if it were in the past, Kang Chenghui might not be able to deal with these powerful Bian army, but now, Kang Chenghui is not worried. Because this ambush plan was originally formulated by Li Jing. Although Li Jing could not draw troops to assist in the war, he generously drew a large number of weapons to them. Among them, there were 100 boxes of thunderstorms. One box of thunderstorms was fifty, a total of 5,000 thunderstorms. Fighting an ambush was enough.
"Kill!" Kang Chenghui waved his long spear, and the gathered infantry formed a phalanx and walked towards the Bian army with heavy steps.
Zhu Wen, who was under the Central Army Commander of the Bian Army, looked around coldly. In a short time, he had observed that there were not many troops ambushing him, about 20,000. Moreover, looking at the opponent's flag, it was certain that the Kang Chenghui Huazhou Army who had received the report and the Bianzhou Army who had attacked Bianzhou.
Zhu Wenjian calmed down after seeing that most of them were recruits.
He didn't take this little military force seriously. What he was worried about was that he thought that the person who ambushed him was Li Jing. The result was just that these two people were not Li Jing, so what was so scary? Although Zhu Wen was anxious to return this time, there were 20,000 troops. Twenty thousand to 20,000, Zhu Wen was confident than the other party.
With a clang, Zhu Wen drew his sword and unsheathed it.
"Since they are here, we will destroy them together, and we will destroy them!"
The infantrymen on both sides approached, and the Bian army laid their spears, raised their shields, and prepared to crush them. The archers protecting the middle of the formation also began to shoot arrows, and the distance between the two sides was constantly approaching. Although the Bian army was a thief, Zhu Wen's army basically had various tactics derived from the early tactics of the town. It was precisely through these tactics that Zhu Wen had fought against the enemy for a long time and rarely was defeated.
Seeing that the two sides were about to start a melee, Zhu Wen's mouth raised slightly, and he was very confident.
Then, just as the two sides were less than ten feet apart and the Bian army began to trot and prepare for charge, the Yicheng army and Xuanwu army on the opposite side suddenly stopped advancing, and took out something from the belt around their waists, and then rushed towards the Bian army one by one.
The distance between the two sides is less than ten feet, and ten feet is the standard throwing distance for the thunder.
Seeing the dark spots all over the sky, the smile on Zhu Wen's face suddenly frozen.
He had a very bad premonition.
The sound of the sky continued to sound, accompanied by the ups and downs of the Bian army, and the terror of the terror.
The pungent smoke rose all over the sky, the broken limbs and arms flying in the air, and the splashing blood was sprayed everywhere.
The Bian Army suffered a great loss. They encountered the first attack of the thunder in the sky, but they still lined up in dense square formations and didn't know how to lie down and dodge. As a result, the thunder in the sky exerted its maximum lethality.
Zhu Wen's smile turned into shock, horror, and then at a loss...
He understood that it was the Qin army's firearm, which shook the sky and thunder.
He should have thought of the sky-shaking thunder as the killer of the Qin army. But this sky-shaking thunder is not invincible. It is said that the Hebei vassal states have developed a way to deal with the sky-shaking thunder, that is, when fighting with the Qin army, try not to arrange dense military formations. Moreover, when encountering the sky-shaking thunder, lie down immediately to effectively defend and avoid. The most important thing is that when fighting on rainy days, the sky-shaking thunder of the Qin army is almost impossible to use. In addition, if you use a shield to block it, it can also effectively resist the lethality of the sky-shaking thunder...
In short, if you were prepared early, the thunder of the sky seemed powerful, but it was not invincible and would never cause such a large amount of damage. Moreover, the thunder of the sky was expensive and difficult to make, and the other party's thunder of the sky was limited.
But it was too late to think about this now, the explosion continued, and the power of the thunder was much greater than Zhu Wen imagined. The Bian Army was completely confused, and at this moment, the cavalry led by Xin Xisou, who had been reassembling on the side, seized the opportunity and rushed back.
The cavalry charged forward and broke through the formation, while the infantry behind them came to kill him.
Ding Hui's front army was defeated, Zhu Zhen's left army was defeated, and Zhu Cun's right army was defeated. At this moment, Li Tangbin, the rear army, rode his horse in a mess.
"Master, it's not good. Yu Qi led three thousand elite cavalry to kill. When we fought, they suddenly used a large number of firearms. Our army was defeated and the rear army was defeated. Yu Qi was about to arrive!"
Zhu Wen's face turned gray and he was immediately shaking and almost fell off his horse.
He looked back at the rolling smoke and dust behind him. Although his central army was still neat, if Yu Yan's three thousand cavalry joined, the situation would not be optimistic. Moreover, what Zhu Wen was most worried about was that he didn't know how many thunders there were on their hands. If it was gone, Zhu Wen was confident that he could still fight. But if the other party had many such thunders, the current morale of the Bian Army could no longer support it.
After thinking a lot, Zhu Wen was unwilling to accept it, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be in love with the battle, break through immediately and return to Bianzhou."
Zhu Wen was about to run away, but Xin Xi and Kang Chenghui could not stop him and only intercepted thousands of Bian troops to siege and kill him.
