Chapter 518 The Death of Zhai Xing
At the foot of Longmen Mountain and on the bank of the Yishui River, Zhai Xing, dressed in military uniform, was riding on a horse, watching his troops in front of him storming the mountain. On the top of the mountain, Meng Bangxiong's army was condescending, and rolling logs and rocks kept falling down, making the attack very difficult.
Peng Qi stepped forward and said: "The enemy troops are holding on tenaciously. Zhen Fu, it's better to withdraw the people first and have a rest."
Zhai Xing pointed at Longmen Mountain and said: "Look, the enemy formations in that area are sparse and their defense is not tenacious. They are about to attack! Yang Wei, order all your troops to attack there! As long as Longmen Mountain is captured
, this natural danger is broken!”
Yang Wei on the side folded his hands and obeyed the order. He looked at the mountain, held the mace on his back, pulled out his sword, and rushed up personally with the remaining soldiers and horses.
Zhai Xing looked at it and praised: "We, the soldiers, have sacrificed themselves for the country. This is what we should do!"
While he was talking, Yang Wei had already led the remaining soldiers and rushed up the mountain without fear of death.
On Xiangshan Mountain opposite, Lian Gongjin sat on a high chair, holding a cattail leaf in his hand, leisurely watching the battle on Longmen Mountain on the other side. Meng Bangxiong stood behind Lian Gongjin, with a look of anxiety on his face, but he didn't dare to
say.
Yang Wei was Zhai Xing's cousin and he fought bravely. After going up the mountain, he charged forward and chopped down several puppet soldiers. When he was about to fight again, he saw that the steel knife in his hand had cracked. He threw the knife on the ground.
He picked up a spear, roared, and rushed towards the top of the mountain with his men.
Zhai Xing saw it from below and said to Peng Qi: "Yang Wei is so brave today. He rushes up the mountain as if he is in a deserted place! You hold down the formation at the bottom of the mountain, and I will go up the mountain to help him!"
Peng Qi said: "With a body worth thousands of dollars, we can't go to the front line lightly! It's better for me to go up the mountain to help Yang Wei!"
Zhai Xing said with a smile: "A good man should fight on the battlefield and live among the swords and guns! Just hold the army at the foot of the mountain and watch me break through Longmen Mountain today!"
As he spoke, he held the mace in his hand and rode towards the mountain.
Far away from the Yihe River, Longmen Mountain is not steep. Where Yang Wei attacked, Zhai Xing was able to climb up on horseback. He only wanted to defeat the enemy and seize the important position of Longmen. Zhai Xing did not dismount, and headed straight towards
He rushed in the direction of Yang Wei.
Maybe they had been fighting for a long time and the defenders were slack. Today, there were fewer troops in this area and they were not very resolute in their defense. However, Yang Wei rushed to a place near the top of the mountain. Zhai Xing was overjoyed when he saw it. When he reached the mountainside, he dismounted and raised his hands.
The iron mace rushed straight in the direction of Yang Wei.
Zhai Xing personally went into battle, and the morale of the Zhai army was greatly boosted. The shouts of killing were loud, and everyone rushed towards the top of the mountain regardless of their own safety.
Peng Qi at the foot of the mountain looked at the situation in front of him and was overjoyed. It has been nearly two months since he attacked Longmen, and he has not made any progress. Could it be that today God is looking down and he is really going to break through this dangerous place? Without Longmen defense, how could Meng Bangxiong stop the Zhai army?
Zhai Xing walked forward and rushed to the front line. He saw Yang Wei's shirt was stained with blood, and his beard and hair were spread out, like a god of war. A steel gun in his hand was as fast as lightning. The enemy soldiers in front of him fell one by one, and no one could stop him.
step.
Raising the mace in his hand, Zhai Xing strode forward. He knocked down an enemy general with one blow and said to Yang Wei: "Good brother, I'm here to help you!"
Behind him, Zhai Jiajun cheered and rushed towards the top of the mountain together.
Yang Wei pulled out the spear from the enemy's body, turned to Zhai Xing and said: "Brother, thank you for your help! The battle formation is dangerous, you are not allowed to come to the front line in person!"
Zhai Xing smiled and said: "You kill so happily, how could I not come?"
After saying that, he put away his mace, picked up a spear from his side, and leaned towards Yang Wei.
Yang Wei thanked him, waved his spear, and charged forward to kill.
The defenders on the top of the mountain were intimidated by the momentum of Zhai Xing and Yang Wei. For a moment, their hearts changed and they could no longer hold on.
Zhai Xing was overjoyed when he saw it. The pride that had been suppressed for two months was suddenly released. Like a god, his spear flew up and down, heading straight for the top of the mountain.
Yang Wei stood up, took back his spear, looked at Zhai Xing coming over, and gently wiped the tip of the gun. He smiled at Zhai Xing and shook his head gently.
Zhai Xing said: "Brother, I'm tired of thinking about this killing. Just take a rest and wait for me to attack up the mountain!"
As he spoke, he looked up to the sky and let out a long whistle. The whistle was long and deep, as if all the resentment he had spent in the past two months was vented in this long whistle.
We were almost at the top of the mountain, and the mountain road was rugged. There were also thorns laid by the defenders blocking the road, and the Zhai army behind them did not follow. Zhai Xing passed Yang Wei and rushed to the front of the team. The spear in his hand flew straight towards the defenders in front.
The army assassinated him.
Yang Wei looked at Zhai Xing's arrogance and sighed softly. The spear in his hand stabbed Zhai Xing in the back.
Zhai Xing felt his heart go cold, his hands lost strength, and he slowly fell down. Looking back, he saw Yang Wei put away his spear, picked up a waist knife, and strode up. He said: "Brother, to this day, I
There is no other way. I have to lend you your head to buy me some wealth!"
After saying that, he chopped off Zhai Xing's head with the steel knife in his hand.
Holding Zhai Xing's head, Yang Wei climbed to the top of the mountain and said: "The Zhai family's army is forward to take control of Yang Wei, and we will rise in front of the battle. We are willing to serve the Emperor of Da Qi!"
Following this shouting, a sudden burst of drums was heard from behind the mountain, and loud shouts of killing were heard. The defenders who had been ambushing behind the mountain rushed out together, passed Yang Wei, and went straight to the bottom of the mountain to kill. The Zhai army was stunned.
What happened? He was driven down the mountain.
On the Xiangshan Mountain opposite, Lian Gongjin suddenly stood up and said: "What did I say? What did I say? I have a clever plan here. It's as easy as flipping the head off Zhai Xing's neck! Stay behind, Zhai Xing is dead, and his vanguard controls Yang Wei
Already surrendered, what else can stop your army! It’s time to mobilize our troops and eradicate the Zhai family’s army!”
Meng Bangxiong let out a breath, as if in a dream. He said to Meng Bangjie: "Since Zhai Xing has been killed, the Zhai army is leaderless and it is time to wipe out! You immediately set up nearby soldiers and horses and kill them all the way! Capture Yique City and leave no one behind."
one!"
Meng Bangjie promised, hurried down the mountain, and gathered his troops.
Before Peng Qi could see clearly what was happening on the mountain, he saw Meng Bangxiong's ambush rising up. His soldiers and horses were killed and they were retreating steadily. A small colonel ran down the mountain and said to Peng Qi: "Control, the Taiwei was killed by the forward Yang
Wei is killed! Our army is defeated!"
Peng Qi thought she heard wrongly and asked loudly: "What did you say? What happened on the top of the mountain?"
The principal said: "Yang Wei suddenly rebelled and killed the captain. We are defeated!"
Peng Qi felt a buzz in her head and the world was spinning. Her eyes became blurry and everything around her became chaotic.
The principal said: "Commander, the enemy troops on the mountain have been killed! Don't hesitate, gather your troops and retreat quickly!"
Peng Qi shook his head and forced himself to calm down. He ordered his soldiers to raise their own flag, gather their troops and horses, and prepare to retreat.
In just the blink of an eye, the mighty Zhai army was defeated. Led by Peng Qi, as soon as they retreated to the main camp, Meng Bangjie led his troops to kill them. The main camp could not hold on, so they had to retreat towards Yique City.
Standing on Xiangshan Mountain, Lian Gongjin watched the defeat of the Zhai family's army at the foot of the mountain. He gently shook his cattail leaf fan and said to Meng Bangxiong: "How about staying behind? I said that the siege of Luoyang will be lifted within three days! Now Zhai Xing is dead, and the Zhai family's army is dead.
Why worry!"
Meng Bangxiong handed over his hand and said: "My lord, your master's scheming is truly unparalleled! Yang Wei, the vanguard commander of the Zhai family army, has already agreed to surrender!"
Duke Lian said sincerely: "When Ding Jin was enthroned, Jiang Yi went to persuade him to surrender. At that time, Yang Wei had already agreed and surrendered. I didn't want to ignore it for a while, Ding Jin was killed, and the matter was delayed. I won the prince.
A clever plan, come to Luoyang. How can Yang Wei not surrender at this time? Today he killed Zhai Xing and made a great contribution. The prince will definitely receive a heavy reward!"
When he was in Yingyang at that time, Zhang Jun once heard Jiang Yi's people mentioning a certain Yang Taiwei, but he didn't know who it was. Due to the rush of the matter, he escaped without asking for the identity of this person, so the matter had to be put down. Later, Wang
Night hunting made many inquiries, but there was no way to determine the identity of this person. Because he was Zhai Xing's man, there was no way to trace it carefully. He could only rely on knowing Zhai Xing and telling him to be careful. At that time, Zhai Xing thought Zhang Jun had heard wrongly and laughed it off.
