Chapter 961: Huanghuang Hanwei (85)
The Red Turban Army swept the entire Gaotang City with the thick smoke with added materials. The defenders on the city were caught off guard and were all caught. The Red Turban Army, which had been prepared, took the opportunity to kill the city with the wet red scarf. Once they stood firm on the city, Zhu Wei was unable to resist. Under his command, he could fight bad wars. There were only more than a thousand soldiers in Gaotang County. The others were newly recruited in Gaotang County. There were thousands of elite opponents like wolves and tigers. In an instant, the city walls were in a hurry and were broken through many places. In desperation, Zhu Wei could only lead his troops to retreat from the city wall and enter the city, and use the streets in the city to fight the Red Turban Army.
From the Red Turban Army launching a smoke offensive to their occupation of the entire city wall, it took only an hour to break up the tall and dangerous Gaotang City. The Red Turban Army's new Qi army was not strong in combat. After the Red Turban Army entered the city, its fighting will was even more dull. Bai Yucheng ordered the refugees to enter the city together. A considerable number of these refugees were from Gaotang County. Under the familiar local accent, a large number of Qi troops abandoned their weapons, squatted on the corner street with both hands, and surrendered to the Red Turban Army to surrender to the Red Turban Army.
Zhu Wei retreated to Gaotang's left-behind mansion. Where did he meet Wang Yan, who was dissatisfied with no one. The two of them joined forces, and there were less than a thousand people. At this time, the sound of killing everywhere was shocking. I don't know how many red scarf thieves rushed into the city.
"Break through, General Zhu, Xicheng should not be occupied by the Red Troubles at this time!" Wang Yan said in a trembling voice. He had not escaped yet. It was not because of his loyalty, but because of his subordinates, but only some constables and temporary soldiers. The combat effectiveness of these people can be imagined. If you rush out like this, as long as you encounter a small group of Red Troubles, you will probably be in a situation where birds and beasts are scattered. Therefore, he can only wait for Zhu Wei with his teeth to bite the bullet and wait for him.
It is only this time to escape. Once the Red Turban Army has gained a foothold in the city and controlled the four gates, it means there is no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground. Seeing Zhu Wei, Wang Yan's miserable face finally had a trace of blood. Zhu Wei's subordinates still have hundreds of people who can fight and break through with him. Hope will increase greatly.
Zhu Wei shook his head, "Wang Liushou, you go for your life, I won't run away. I want to fight the Red Thief here."
Wang Yan was shocked, "General Zhu, you must not do anything in a state of indignation. Gaotang City was destroyed, and the thieves were powerful. You cannot fight at this time. You can keep the green mountains there, and you are not afraid of burning firewood. The general breaks out and leads troops to fight against the thieves. Why bother here to burn them together!"
Zhu Wei shook his head with a bleak face. If he breaks out, how can he lose Gao Tang by himself? It will inevitably make Wang Pei's army, who is attacking Pinglu, return without Gao Tang's support. Wang Pei's army cannot move forward. The situation of the Red Thief is unclear, but judging from their situation of sweeping the entire Gao Tang, I am afraid that he will be unkind to the second son. If Wang Pei does not retreat, he will be very likely to be attacked on both sides.
The second young master hopes to take Pinglu in the shortest time, so that Wang Pei and Cheng Siwei's army will encircle Linzi. Wang Pei returns without success, which will affect the overall situation. The eldest young master will get the time he needs the most. How could the second young master let him go? Instead of breaking out, he was beheaded by the second young master and ordered the three armies. He died in great humiliation. He would not die here in battle at the moment. Thinking of his unyielding resignation before his death, the second young master may be able to give himself a name behind him.
"You go, I will never leave Gaotang City." Zhu Wei said sternly, "Wang Liuzhao, if you don't leave, I will seal the gate of the Liuzhao Mansion and fight to the death with the thieves."
Wang Yan looked at this unreasonable guy and stomped his feet regretfully. If he had known this, he would have left here earlier. Now he has left, but the danger has increased a few more times.
"Since that's the case, General Zhu takes care of me, I'll go first." Wang Yan bowed, turned around and left, and the yamen runners and soldiers followed him immediately left quickly with him.
Zhu Wei walked into the courtyard of the left-behind mansion. There were about five or six hundred soldiers who fled here with him. At this moment, they all gathered here. Looking at these wounded soldiers, Zhu Wei felt very regretful.
"The Red Thief has broken the city, and a large number of bandits have attacked. Gaotang City can no longer be defended. Zhu was entrusted by the general to guard Gaotang, but he was responsible for his duties, so he lost his troops and lost his territory. He went to see the general again. Zhu had decided to live and die with Gaotang. But he didn't have to do so. Those who were willing to leave can leave now. Whether he found a way out to break through or throw down his weapons to surrender to the Red Thief, he would always be in a life!" He waved his hand, said this, and turned around and walked into the hall.
A quarter of an hour later, his deputy walked in
"How many people are left?" Zhu Wei asked in a low voice.
"Report to the general, more than 200 people have left, and now there are more than 300 people willing to follow the general and fight the thieves to the end." The deputy general said
"Okay!" Zhu Wei stood up, "Zhu fought on the battlefield all his life, his hands were stained with countless blood. He had never thought of a good ending. At the time of his death, there were hundreds of good brothers to accompany him, and this life would be enough."
He reached out and grabbed the spear beside him, and walked out with great strides.
"Let's kill again!" He shouted loudly and walked out of the lobby of the left-behind mansion. Outside, there were more than 300 subordinates who were determined to follow him to fight to the end.
"Open the door and fight out!" Zhu Wei roared angrily.
Hutou didn't expect that Zhu Wei would fight back. Under Zhu Wei's leadership, this Qi army, who was determined to die, rushed out of the left-behind mansion and encountered Hutou's team. Unpredictable, the Red Turban Army led by Hutou was actually killed and retreated repeatedly.
Watching soldiers wrapped in red scarves fall under the other party's guns and swords, Hutou is furious, waving his nine-ring sword, and yells: "Care with me back."
The two groups of people and horses were mixed together. One was full of morale, but the other was dying. For a moment, they were in a difficult situation to solve. The shouts of killing were deafening. On the narrow street, the two sides squeezed together. The swords and guns were immediately stained with blood. The front fell and the backwards followed. The backward Red Turban Army was led by the tiger head, stabilized its position and launched a cruel close contact with the opponent.
It was not until the Hengdao that Bai Yucheng came to hear the sound that the war reversed. The two attacked each other and finally took down all the Qi army that had resisted to the end. At this time, more than a hundred people under Hutou's command were damaged, which immediately made Hutou's liver furious. Looking at Zhu Wei, who was seriously injured and fell to the ground, he waved his sword and was about to kill him to death.
With a sound of noise, Bai Yucheng waved his long sword and opened the knife to Zhu Wei. "Tiger Head!" He shouted sternly: "This is a big man. Isn't it a pity that I will use it for this good thing to come. Call the doctor. No matter what, I will save General Zhu for me!"
Zhu Wei, who was lying on the ground, was furious when he heard this. However, at this moment, he had no strength to raise the knife and swear. In awe, his eyes turned pale and he fainted from being angry.
"Big leader!" At the end of the street, Wei Zhiwen's happy voice came over. He was full of horse hooves. He ran to this place with a smile. Behind his horse, there was still a person tied up. At this time, he was staggering with the horse. Looking at the costume, he was just a civilian.
"Old Wei, what are you doing?" Bai Yucheng frowned and frowned.
"I caught a big fish at Ximen!" Wei Zhiwen smiled and turned over, reached out and grabbed the rope and pulled it hard. He pulled the man from the horse, held the man with one hand and lifted his face up. "This man is Wang Yan, the left-behind man of Gaotang County. He put on a flat head and wanted to escape from Xicheng, but unexpectedly hit me."
"It's really a big fish!" Bai Yucheng laughed loudly, "You are really Wang Yan?"
Wang Yan knelt down with a loud bang, "The leader of the big leader spares his life, and the lower official is Wang Yan. The lower official can help the big leader stabilize the situation in the city and help the big leader pacify the entire Gaotang County. As long as the big leader spares my life."
This senior official was so backless, but it was beyond the expectations of everyone present. Zhu Wei, who had just been rescued by a doctor, happened to hear Wang Yan begging for his life. He was so angry that he fainted, which made the doctor very busy.
Bai Yucheng laughed, "It's stable for Gaotang County, I don't want your help, but you are the one who stays in Gaotang County after all, so you can be worth a few dollars. Come and lock him up with this General Zhu, and sell it together at a good price."
When Wang Yan heard this, he was worried and happy. He was happy that his fortune was saved and he would not be slashed by these vicious bandits on the spot. But he was worried about the words of the big leader. No matter how much he heard, he felt that there was a lot of articles inside. What could he sell at a good price?
Gao Tang changed hands and shocked the entire Qi State. Wang Pei, who was fighting Tian Jingwen with Pinglu, was shocked when he was defeated. As soon as Gao Tang lost his logistics, he would no longer have any guarantee. If the Red Thief attacked behind him, he would be afraid of his defeat. He did not report to Tian Fucheng and then made a quick decision. He withdrew from Pinglu and retreated all the way back to Gaotang, rectified his troops and prepared to retake Gaotang City. However, Tian Jingwen was not a weak person behind him. He quickly gathered his troops and followed Wang Pei's army all the way, so that Wang Pei would not dare to make any changes for a while. At this time, various intelligence had already gathered in Wang Pei's hands.
The combat effectiveness of the gang can defeat Zhu Wei and Chen Tao's bandits in frontal battles will inevitably be far from comparable to ordinary bandits. Once he fights with them, Tian Jingwen will definitely take advantage of the situation. At that time, Gao Tang may not be able to take back, and even his own army will be trapped. Fortunately, although he lost Gao Tang City, the Red Turban thieves have limited military strength, but they only occupy several counties such as Mayang and Wuling. Other places are still under the control of the Qi army. Wang Pei led his army to Fengyang County in Gao Tang County, and formed a triangle with Tian Jingwen and the Red Turban Army. No one dared to act rashly (to be continued...)
