Chapter two hundred and ninety sixth: the defeat(1/2)

"You did a great job!" Zhang Chao patted Huang Chun's shoulder, with a face filled with relief: "Along the way, I was afraid that you would be eager to make contributions and rush into the army rashly! The frontier army is sharp, if you don't gather together

With enough troops, it is very likely that they will be defeated one by one. At that time, even if I come back, I will not have any troops to use, so what's the use?"

Huang Chun's face was full of pride, and he repeatedly handed over his hands: "How can I resist the compliments of the Taiwei? This is mainly because Commander Zhang Cheng is stationed in the inner city and has repeatedly frustrated the rebels, preventing them from advancing. This is why I dare to assemble like this."

What a force!"

"Hey, this bastard boy finally has some looks." Although he was scolding the bastard boy, he couldn't hide his happy look.

Huang Chun's face was full of pride, but Qu Zhen on the other side had a look of annoyance.

He is exactly the opposite of Huang Chun.

After receiving the imperial edict, he immediately dispatched troops and generals. However, the Qinqian army was distributed throughout Bianliang. When they rushed to the inner city after receiving the order, they were attacked one after another by the border troops led by Qin Min.

The defeat of the armies not only failed to play a role in rescue, but after many of them were captured, they became the pioneers of the rebel army in attacking the city.

At this moment, Qu Zhen couldn't care less about competing with Huang Chun for credit. He was now thinking about how to clear himself in front of the officials after this matter was over.

Those who carried the ladders and took the lead in attacking the city were his own subordinates.

When I think of this, my heart is trembling!

Conspiracy, this will kill the nine tribes!

"Commander!" I was thinking to myself when Zhang Chao's voice suddenly came to my ears.

"Captain, the general is here!"

"I will give you the thousand cavalry I brought back. Then you can assemble your cavalry, bear my banner, and serve as a vanguard to rescue the inner city. Let the officials, chief assistants, and privy councilors know that Mr. Zhang has returned. Even if they

rest assured."

"Thank you, Lieutenant!" Qu Zhen was overjoyed. Zhang Chao was giving him a chance. He knelt down on one knee and saluted, then jumped up, grabbed the command arrow, and strode out.

"Commander Huang, you lead the fourth battalion to block the passages around the inner city to prevent the rebels from escaping. At that time, you cannot let go of an important figure of the rebels." Zhang Chao said with a smile: "The guards and the pro-army

The rest of the troops in front of the palace will be led by this general to counterattack the rebels!"

"Don't worry, Lieutenant, we will not let anyone escape." Huang Chun said happily.

After being rewarded and punished, Zhang Chao asked Qu Zhen to gnaw the hard bones, but asked him to encircle and capture the rebels who were defeated later. This relationship was clearly distinguished.

After a while, intensive military trumpets and various orders came from outside. With the sound of horse hooves and the footsteps of soldiers gradually fading away, the private house that was temporarily used as a command post became quiet.

Zhang Chao stretched out, reached out and picked up the helmet on the case, and when he was putting it on his head, he saw Lu Ben'an on the side with a funny look on his face.

Wanyan Bage and Lu Ben'an were both Yelujun's personal generals. Zhang Chao rushed back first this time, but he borrowed all the personal soldiers around Yelujun.

Brother Wanyan followed Qu Zhen, because for a moment, Zhang Chao couldn't think of anyone else who could withstand Qin Min, so he had to let Brother Wanyan go.

Even if Wanyan Bage died, Yelujun wouldn't necessarily feel very distressed.

But Lu Ben'an was different. If this man was going to die, Yelujun was afraid that he would fall out with him.

"What's so funny? Oh, yes, Da Song's family affairs will indeed make you laugh!" Zhang Qi said coldly.

"No, no, no!" Lu Ben'an said with a smile: "Such a thing is rare in the Song Dynasty, but it is not uncommon in our Liao Dynasty. There is nothing funny about it. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, and this has been the case since ancient times."

"Then why are you laughing?"

"I laughed at Commander Huang, who was about to die, but still looked happy with his plan. Lieutenant Zhang is really a good trick!" Lu Ben'an said with a smile.

"What's the explanation?" Zhang Chao pretended not to know.

"Lieutenant, this is not kind!" Lu Benan shook his head and said; "The rebels are in rebellion and the emperor is in danger. The most correct response for a loyal general at this moment is of course to go to the rescue as quickly as possible. Well, just like that

General Qu, even though his men were defeated and lost consecutive battles, he effectively prevented the rebels from attacking the city with all their strength. However, General Huang slowly gathered his troops and then crawled forward like a snail. This clearly shows that he was

I want to see the results before deciding my own behavior. This alone shows that this person must have some connection with the rebels! The Taiwei deprived him of most of his military power without making a move, and his methods were very clever."

Zhang Cheng glanced at Lu Ben'an coldly: "I am originally the commander-in-chief of the four armies. Regardless of the bodyguards and the generals in front of the palace, they are all my subordinates. How can I seize power? You are so smart.

Commander Huang has made great contributions, and I will take credit for him after the war."

Lu Ben'an smiled and followed Zhang Chao outside without arguing.

Huang Chun naturally had no way of knowing the conversation that took place in the room after he left. At this moment, he was walking side by side with an officer who looked somewhat similar to him.

"Go home immediately and find Xiaohai!" Huang Chun whispered.

"Yes, we have to let him leave Beijing immediately and find a place to hide!" the officer said.

Huang Chun had a gloomy face and said, "No, you go back and give Xiao Hai a ride."

The officer was startled, but he immediately understood what Huang Chun meant: "Brother, that is your son, the eldest son of the Huang family!"

Huang Chun stopped and said: "Zhang Chao is back, and His Royal Highness King Jing has not captured the inner city or captured the officials, so he is bound to fail. Xiao Hai once colluded with them, do you think this

Can the matter be concealed? When King Jing and his important subordinates are arrested, they will inevitably be exposed. By then, it will not be him alone, but our entire Huang family."

"Brother, when Xiaohai contacted them, he got your tacit approval!"

"That was a move that King Jing had to make if he succeeded. It would be difficult for anyone else to win their respect, so Xiao Hai could only go. Now, this is the only way. Go quickly and do this well."

"But things finally happened. Even if we kill Xiao Hai, will this matter be over?"

"Of course it can be done." Huang Chun took a deep breath: "The villain colluded with the rebels, and Mr. Huang killed his relatives out of justice. Remember, Xiao Hai's death must be before the rebels launch an attack. You must arrange this!

"

"I understand!" The officer was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth, turned around, and rode away.

Looking up at the sky, Huang Chun let out a breath.

As the head of a family, when he needs to make a decision, he can't even hesitate. If he is not careful, he will be doomed!

Under the inner city, King Jing watched his men ascend to the top of the city, only to be driven back by the soldiers on the city. A young general, holding a horizontal sword in his hand, was walking up and down the city, although his body was covered in blood and scarred.

, but wherever they went, the soldiers who climbed up the city wall melted instantly like snow encountering the sun.

"Zhang Chao, Zhang Cheng and his son are both great generals of the country. It's a pity that they can't be used by me!" King Jing sighed.

"They have almost reached their limit. Even though these soldiers have been trained quite well by Zhang Chao and Zhang Cheng, they are still a little worse than the frontier troops!" Qin Min said: "Your Highness, if I go to charge again, they should be good.

I can take it."

"Okay, it's all in one battle, Qin Min, if possible, don't kill Zhang Cheng."

"I'll do my best!" Qin Min raised his knife and was about to strike.

A horse galloped from a distance. The knight on the horse turned over and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, Zhang Chao is back. Now the guards and troops in front of the palace are gathering, and they are coming towards the inner city. Their vanguard,

It’s less than ten miles away from here.”

King Jing and everyone around him were stunned.

Zhang Chao actually came back alive.

Qin Kai's mission naturally failed.

Now that Zhang Chao is back, it is natural that Huang Chun's bodyguards and soldiers will not be able to help him complete the final blow as King Jing hoped.

"Your Highness, I'll go!" Qin Min said: "So what if Zhang Chao comes back? What he leads is not a bunch of losers like the Fourth Army. If I can defeat the army in front of the palace, I can also defeat the army of guards.

Don’t worry, I will catch Zhang Chao in front of you."

"Be careful!" King Jing nodded.

Qin Min got on his horse, looked back at Tao Dayong, and said: "General Tao, I'll leave this to you. I want five hundred cavalry, and I'll give you the rest. At this time, I don't care about casualties."

Tao Dayong nodded vigorously. "I will be the first to board the city!"

Five hundred cavalry roared away.

On top of the city, Zhang Cheng was holding a knife and panting heavily. The enemy troops below the city were divided into groups. He didn't care at all. He had seen such a scene many times.

From time to time, Qin Min could be seen roaring away with a group of people, but not long after, he roared back.

No need to ask, another group of reinforcements must have been defeated.

His departure this time was just a repeat of the last time.

Unable to catch his breath, Zhang Cheng watched the border troops under the city shouting and approaching again. He wiped his face vigorously and shouted loudly: "Everyone, prepare to fight. This is their last attack. Defeat them this time.

They no longer have the strength.”

On the Suzaku Avenue, two groups of cavalry met unexpectedly.

Qin Min's eyes suddenly enlarged, and a familiar face made him feel filled with anger spewing out from his seven orifices.

Wanyan Bage.

That Wanyan Bage who fought with him to the death for a whole day in Baigouyi and finally both fell into the water.

I narrowly escaped death. I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect to see him here.

"Brother Wanyan!" he roared and rode forward.

"Qin Min, let's fight to the death again!" On the opposite side, Wanyan Bage spoke in blunt Chinese, laughed wildly and rushed up with a knife.

Earlier, when Qin Min led five hundred cavalry to face the troops of the Fourth Army, he was invincible and killed his opponents until they were unable to fight back. But now, he was no longer facing those opponents of the Fourth Army.

Like him, he is a veteran of many battles.
