Chapter 416: Wang Wei was captured
Let's say that Wang Chuan once again sent troops to attack Cixi County, hoping to fight Han Xiao and win back his beloved woman Jiujiutianzi.
This time he brought along the general Yan Hu, thinking that two against one would be able to defeat Han Xiao.
When he arrived in Cixi County, Han Xiao was no longer in the city and had gone to Haimen Guards. Jiujiu Tianzi stayed behind in Cixi County.
Wang Chuan rode on horseback and pointed at the city gate and shouted: "Call your boss out quickly!"
After a while, Jiujiutianzi appeared on the city wall. Seeing Wang Chun coming again, he said angrily: "Why are you here again? Is it interesting for you to continue making trouble like this?"
Wang Shuyao said with force and power: "I must get the woman I like. Tianzi, please leave the city and follow me. I swear not to attack Cixi County again."
Jiujiutianzi said sternly: "It is impossible for me to leave with you. I am already Han Xiao's wife, and I will be rude to anyone who insults me again."
When Wang Chuan saw that Han Xiao was still not coming out, he said forcefully: "Hurry up and ask Han Xiao to come out for a duel. Is this big boss a coward?"
Jiujiutazi said angrily: "He has something to do when he goes out. You should go back quickly."
"He is no longer in the city?" Wang Shu asked in surprise, "Where has he gone?"
Jiujiutazi said angrily: "Where he went has nothing to do with you, he is not here anyway."
Wang Chuan said anxiously: "Then when will he come back? You have to tell me this."
Jiujiutazi said angrily: "It will take at least half a month to come back. Stop waiting and go back as soon as possible."
She deliberately kept the time too long in the hope that Wang Shui would retreat as soon as possible, but she didn't know that Wang Shui still refused to leave.
Wang Shun said stubbornly: "So what if I wait for half a month? I don't believe he refuses to return to the city.
If he really refuses to return to the city, that would be better, then you can open the city gate and let me in as the city lord, and you can be my wife, wouldn't it be better?"
"Let you talk nonsense!" Jiujiutianzi drew his bowstring and fired an arrow at Wang Chuan.
Wang Chun dodged the incoming arrow and said in surprise: "Tianzi, why are you willing to shoot me!"
Jiujiutianzi was so angry that he stomped away from the city wall and returned to his house. Wang Shu ordered his army to camp three miles away from the city wall and wait for Han Xiao to return to the city.
Yan Hu was impatient to wait and suggested: "Young captain, since Han Xiao, the leader of the bandits, is not in the city, wouldn't it be better for us to take the opportunity to attack the city?
When Han Xiao comes back, it will be more difficult for us to attack the city."
Wang Shu objected: "My beloved woman Jiujiutazi is defending the city now. If I attack the city by force, won't I make her angry?"
No, no, I'd better wait until Han Xiao comes back before fighting, then my opponent will be Han Xiao instead of Jiujiutazi."
Yan Hu had no choice but to stop talking and let the good opportunity to attack the city go to waste.
However, Zhao Wenhua did not give Wang Chuan any time to wait. Wang Chuan had only stayed in the military camp for three days when Hu Zongxian's army arrived.
It turned out that Zhao Wenhua sent a letter to Hu Zongxian, saying that Wang Chuan wanted to get through Cixi County and escape.
Hu Zongxian has recovered most of the lost land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, except Wuxi City and Jiangyin County. The reason is that he left it to Wang Jun to survive and will not recover it for the time being.
At this time, Hu Zongxian returned to Nantong Prefecture and personally controlled the Yangtze River Estuary. After receiving Zhao Wenhua's letter, he was unwilling to let Wang Chuan go to sea, so he led his army to pursue Wang Chuan.
Hu Zongxian took advantage of Wang Chuan's unpreparedness and attacked Wang Chuan's military camp at night, catching Wang Jun by surprise.
Hu Zongxian surrounded Wang Jun and wiped out all three thousand Wang soldiers in one night.
Wang Shuang and Yan Hu fought their way out of the encirclement with their superb martial arts skills, and found that there were still roadblocks.
Hu Zongxian brandished the Green Dragon Sword, stood in front of Luka and said sternly: "You are so bold, Wang Chun, how dare you run away privately, and you won't be captured without restraint!"
It turns out that the Ming army was setting up roadblocks along the coastal road to intercept them. How could they get out?
Wang Shun was so anxious that he wisely said to Yan Hu: "We can't kill Hu Zongxian's army with so many people. It's better to surrender to Jiujiutianzi, maybe there will be a way to survive."
Yan Hu refused to surrender and said stubbornly: "I will not surrender to the bandits. I would rather sacrifice my life and fight out than surrender to the bandits."
Wang Shu sighed slightly and said, "Okay, take care of yourself!"
Yan Hu persuaded before leaving: "The young captain surrendered to Jiujiutianzi, he probably couldn't bear to part with her.
The risk of surrendering to her is too high and Han Xiao will kill you, so let’s go out together."
Wang Chuan explained: "Han Xiao still has more than ten days to return to the city. If I surrender to Jiujiutianzi now and impress her with my true feelings, she will definitely not kill me."
I am very confident that not only will she not kill me, she will let me go to sea, and she will even be moved by me to make me the city lord."
Yan Hu shook his head slightly and said goodbye: "Then let's say goodbye, young captain, take care."
Wang Shuang said goodbye: "Yan Hu, take care!"
Yan Hu raised his mace and attacked Hu Zongxian. The two of them had a good fight.
Hu Zongxian asked: "Who are you Wang Jun?"
Yan Hu replied: "Wang Jun general Yan Hu."
Hu Zongxian asked: "Where are you going?"
Yan Hu replied: "Go back to Wang Jun's base camp in Wuxi!"
Hu Zongxian stepped back two steps: "Stop fighting. For the sake of your ability, I will let you go back to the base camp."
Yan Hu was overjoyed and said: "You won't arrest me?"
Hu Zongxian said: "I have to arrest Wang Chuan first. You can't get out anyway. We'll make further arrangements later."
So the Ming army let go of Luka and allowed Yan Hu to return to Wuxi. Hu Zongxian rushed to chase Wang Shuang.
Wang Chuan fled to the gate of Cixi County and shouted for help: "Jiujiutianzi, please save me, Hu Zongxian wants to kill me!"
When Jiujiutianzi saw Wang Chuan escaping to the city wall alone, he was surprised and asked: "Where is your army?"
Wang Shuan said angrily: "Hu Zongxian's army attacked me last night, and all three thousand troops were wiped out. I finally broke out and asked you for help. Aren't you willing to save me?"
Although Wang Shu was shameless and bold, he still treated Jiujiutazi well. Especially when Jiujiutazi was a mercenary under his command, Wang Shun almost treated her like his grandmother.
After all, people's hearts are made of flesh. Now that Wang Shu's entire army had been wiped out and he was being hunted by Hu Zongxian, she wanted to leave him alone but couldn't bear to see him captured, so she hesitated.
Wang Chuan continued to plead: "Tian Zi, please save me, I promise you that I will never harass you again and admit that you are Han Xiao's wife."
Please open the city gate quickly and save me, otherwise it will be too late."
Seeing Hu Zongxian's army approaching, Jiujiutianzi said anxiously: "Do you mean what you say? From now on, you will admit that I am Han Xiao's wife, and you can never harass me again!"
Wang Shu nodded and said: "It must count. I promise not to harass you again in the future, and I wish you two a happy marriage for a hundred years!"
Jiujiutazi said happily: "That's good, and you have to admit that I will never be your mercenary again."
Wang Shu nodded without thinking: "Okay, I promise you, from now on you will no longer be my mercenary."
Jiujiutianzi was very happy and ordered his soldiers to open the city gate and let Wang Chuan into the city.
Hu Zongxian chased him to the bottom of the city wall but did not see Wang Shun's figure, so he asked Jiujiu Tianzi: "You bandits, please hand over Wang Shun quickly."
Jiujiutazi refused to hand over Wang Chuan and responded: "I have the final say whether to let him go or not!"
Hu Zongxian was furious and led his army to attack Cixi County. Jiujiutianzi commanded his minions to defend the city. Hu's army was unable to capture the city for a while.
Hu Zongxian used the camp left by Wang Jun as a military camp and insisted on attacking Cixi County.
Zhao Wenhua learned that Hu Zongxian was attacking Han Xiao's bandit army, and wanted to prevent Hu Zongxian from continuing to attack the city, because he needed to recruit Han Xiao into the closed base to support the mercenaries in capturing Xu Weixue.
Because Haimen Guards' general attack had not yet begun at this time, Zhao Wenhua could not predict the development of the battle situation and had to make such preparations.
So Zhao Wenhua wrote to Hu Zongxian, asking him to withdraw his troops and not to kill or injure the bandit troops. He said that the most important thing at the moment was to capture Xu Weixue.
The value of Xu Weixue's head was several times higher than that of Wang Shuang, so Han Xiao's bandit army could not be killed temporarily if it was useful.
When Hu Zongxian saw Zhao Wenhua's letter, he had to take the overall situation into consideration and evacuate Cixi County.
In this way, Jiujiutianzi rescued Wang Chuan. After Wang Chuan entered the city, he was tied up and locked in a room by the minions.
Jiujiutianzi didn't want to treat him badly, so he was served with good wine and meat.
