Wang Hu is also considered a core figure in King Xin's army, and he is very clear about the deployment of King Xin's army for this western expedition. This time, the soldiers, horses and navy of Liu Jiajun, which Wang Zongshi belongs to, are responsible for garrisoning the troops east of Nan'an.
, putting pressure on Gao An and Liu Tong, how could Wang Zongshi leave his post without permission and come here?
"East of the Nan'an Army? There isn't even a single soldier east of the Nan'an Army." Hua Zhonglong shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "The previous commander led the army to station east of the Nan'an Army on your orders.
, and were ready to go to Wei County at any time. Unexpectedly, Wei County was captured by Xia Cheng and Wang Xiong of the Gao'an faction first. And what did Xia Cheng say? They were ordered to punish thieves. If we dare to do whatever we want,
The invasion proves that you want to assist the rebels. Damn it! I was going to follow my wishes and just bring up the army to attack."
Hearing what Hua Zhonglong said, Wu Liang's heart sank. Sure enough, it was Gao An who was pulling the strings there. And the tricks he used were the same as Xia Cheng's previous sneak attack on Luzhou. Sure enough, they were all colluding, but this was true now.
As he expected. Hua Zhonglong continued: "It's just that Mr. Liu didn't agree. After discussing with the commander for a long time, he took us all the way up the tributary of the Gan River. Yesterday we happened to meet the person you sent.
The messenger knew that you were trapped here and came to rescue you."
While Hua Zhonglong was discussing with Wang Hu and Wu Liang, in the north of the city, Liu Jiajun, who had just withdrawn from Ji Qin Mountain, was fleeing towards the north under the leadership of Liu Tong. Liu Tong, who was walking at the front, looked unhappy.
It’s no wonder that it was originally a sure-fire battle, but he didn’t expect it to end like this. In order to wipe out this vanguard of the King’s Army, Liu Tong paid a huge price. If Wang Hu and Wu Liang did die in
It was just a matter of paying back the arrows. If Wang Hu and Wu Liang had not died, wouldn't Liu Tong have lost more than he gained?
Seeing Liu Tong's appearance, Wang Kuang and others also understood Liu Tong's thoughts. The three of them looked at each other. Wang Kuang took a step forward and advised Liu Tong: "My lord, don't worry about it. This time, my lord has succeeded."
The vanguard of King Xin's army was repelled, which at least greatly damaged the morale of King Xin's army. In addition, their elite main force was facing the Jin people in the north. Presumably, King Xin's army will not invade again in a short time.
.Sir, this can be considered a success!"
Liu Tong also knew that Wang Kuang was trying to comfort himself, so he shook his head helplessly and suppressed the depression in his heart. In fact, Wang Kuang was right. He sighed and said: "I'm just upset, and
I don’t know if Wang Hu and Wu Liang are dead, whether it is Wang Hu or Wu Liang, if these two people are not dead, they will definitely become a serious problem for us in the future!"
"Don't worry, sir." Zhu Hao also said: "In the past few rounds of offensives, the city guard's mansion is only so big. Wang Hu and Wu Liang must have been shot into a hornet's nest."
"I hope." Liu Tong, who has always been optimistic, is not so confident this time. Ever since he officially started the war with King Xin's army, Liu Tong has found that his luck always seems to be a little worse.
"Sir, as long as you pass through the woods in front, you will have left the boundary of Jiqin Mountain." Wang Yuanhua said to Liu Tong, which was also used to change the topic and prevent Liu Tong from thinking about this troublesome matter.
"Yes!" Liu Tong nodded, looked up at the woods in front, and then at the blurred shadow of Ji Qin Mountain behind him. As long as he passed the boundary of Ji Qin Mountain, Liu Tong could basically rest assured. Immediately Liu Tong
Tong also put aside all the troubles he had just had and shouted to the army: "The whole army should speed up and leave this place as soon as possible."
The army quickened their pace and began to pass through the woods under the leadership of Liu Tong. The forest in front of them was actually not very big, but it just so happened that such a large area of trees grew on the road they must pass through. Although it was dug from the middle
There was an official road, but it was blocked by trees on the left and right, making it appear to be a narrow road. But now Liu Tong was on the way to retreat, so he could not be so picky, so he simply took the lead and led Wang Kuang and the others north along the official road.
Seeing that he was about to pass through the woods, as long as he passed the woods, it meant that he had exited the boundary of Jiqin Mountain. Xin Wang's army would never catch up again. Liu Tong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and turned to face the side.
Wang Kuang said: "Wang Kuang, after returning this time, I still need to discuss with Zhao Guang..."
"Wow!" Liu Tong was only halfway through his words when a voice suddenly rang out. Then, he saw a few bright lights flashing in front of him, followed by a fire, and the only intersection leaving the woods in front of him suddenly
The way was blocked by the fire.
"Enemy attack!" When they saw this situation, Liu Tong and others were immediately shocked. Years of combat experience immediately made them make a judgment. Liu Tong pulled the reins hard, stopped his mount, and shouted loudly: "
Prepare to meet the enemy. Prepare to meet the enemy! There is an enemy attack!"
As if to prove that what Liu Tong said was correct, countless sounds of breaking through the air were immediately heard from the woods on the left and right, and black shadows flew out, turning into sharp arrows, hitting the people on the official road.
Those Liu Jiajun soldiers. After this barrage of arrows, at least hundreds of Liu Jiajun soldiers were hit by arrows. Even if they were not killed on the spot, they all covered their arrow wounds and screamed in agony.
"Protect your lord!" Wang Kuang's first reaction was to protect Liu Tong. Wang Yuanhua and Zhu Hao were not slow, and they directly surrounded Liu Tong with Wang Kuang, the weapons in their hands kept flying.
, helped Liu Tong block the flying arrows.
"Don't worry about me." Liu Tong directly raised the big gun in his hand, and suddenly a golden light flashed through, as if a golden protective wall appeared around Liu Tong, blocking all the arrows. At the same time, Liu Tong
Tong Ye shouted to Wang Kuang and the others: "Immediately command the soldiers to form defensive formations. I don't need you to take care of me here."
After Liu Tong said this, Wang Kuang and the other three remembered that in terms of skill, Liu Tong was superior to them. Immediately, the three Wang Kuang and others rushed towards the front, middle and rear of the army, commanding the Liu family's army to start setting up a defensive formation.
Previously, the reason why Liu Jiajun was so caught off guard by this attack and fell into chaos was because there was no leader to command.
Now under the command of Wang Kuang and the others, the army finally stabilized its position. Wang Kuang, who was in the middle army, even ordered the archers to start shooting arrows to the left and right to counterattack. However, there were many shadows in the woods. I don't know how effective the counterattack would be.
.
"Where did the thieves come from? How dare they attack your grandfather Liu Tong? Why don't you tell me your name quickly? I won't kill nameless ghosts with my big gun." Liu Tong felt relieved when he saw that the army had stabilized its position.
.Just after the attack just now, the army of tens of thousands of people lost nearly 500 people. Looking at those soldiers who died tragically, Liu Tong's heart was bleeding. He waved the big gun in his hand,
He roared towards the woods on the left and right.
"Hahahaha!" A laughter sounded from the woods on the left, but it made the ears of the Liu family's soldiers ring. After the laughter, a bold voice was heard: "Of course I know you are Liu Tong.
This time I will come and meet you for a while."
Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Liu Tong, Wang Kuang and others' expressions suddenly changed. This statement is enough to show that the other party is ambushing here, and the target is Liu Tong and the Liu family's army of more than 10,000 people. It seems that this time
But he could no longer be kind. Liu Tong shouted with a gloomy face: "Since you are here to find me, please show up and see me. Let Liu Tong see who is the hero who wants to take advantage of me, Liu Tong."
life."
"Hahahaha. I'm not afraid that you will know." A loud laugh rang out, but countless figures flashed through the woods on the left. A tiger-backed general suddenly appeared in the woods with countless soldiers and horses.
The soldiers were either holding weapons or bows and arrows, and they were all looking at Liu Tong and others. The general had a square face, two curls of beard on his lips, and a resolute look on his face.
He is the general of King Xin’s army, from the south.
Wang Zongshi, the commander of the navy, Wang Zongshi. Wang Zongshi waved the giant sword in his hand and shouted to Liu Tong: "I believe in Wang Zongshi, the commander of the navy. Liu Tong, I have heard about Xiao Da's reputation for a long time. Today, Wang Zongshi
I want to come and meet you for a while."
"Wang Zongshi." Liu Tong's eyes widened, but he didn't expect to meet Wang Zongshi here. Although Liu Tong and Wang Zongshi had never met, Liu Tong knew Wang Zongshi well.
Very deep. Wang Zongshi was originally a bandit leader. Later, he was defeated by officers and soldiers and took refuge with Xin Wang Zhao Zhen.
Since then, King Xin Zhao Zhen has been reusing him. Ever since King Xin Zhao Zhen occupied Wugong Mountain and captured the Wugong Shanshui Army, Wang Zongshibian has been controlling the water army for King Xin Zhao Zhen. To this day, because King Xin’s army in the north has very few water forces, there is no one in the south.
The navy is huge, so Wang Zongshi is still the first person to believe in the navy.
In King Xin's army, he can be regarded as one person below ten thousand people. Although over the years, Wang Zongshi, who devoted himself to military training and became the leader of the naval training army, has gradually faded out of the world's eyes, but as long as he has some brains
People will never ignore this general who is in charge of Ganshui.
If it were normal times, Liu Tong would be able to fight against a master like Wang Zongshi. But the problem is that the army is trapped now. If he insists on fighting Wang Zongshi, then the more than 10,000 Liu family troops will be completely wiped out here.
.
Although Liu Tong was usually very impulsive, at such a critical moment, Liu Tong did not dare to be careless. He gritted his teeth, suppressed the impulse in his heart, and shouted to Wang Kuang and the others: "Zhu Hao. Lead the army to break out. Wang Kuang follows him.
Wang Yuanhua is responsible for breaking up the queen. Don’t be obsessed with fighting! Escape from the encirclement is the first priority."
"Yes." Hearing Liu Tong still issue the order in an orderly manner, it also calmed the minds of the soldiers and had a backbone. The morale of the ordinary soldiers was also boosted. So all the troops started according to Liu Tong's previous arrangements.
They rushed out toward the exit that was blocked by the fire. The leader was naturally the 5,000 cavalry Liu Tong had just formed.
These five thousand cavalry are Liu Tong's treasure. Liu Tong spent several cities in exchange for more than five thousand Qi war horses from Xia Cheng, and then spent a lot of money to form this cavalry. Although the time was still short,
Because of this, the power of the cavalry has not yet been fully demonstrated, but given time, this cavalry will definitely become the Liu family's ace army.
Therefore, Liu Tong is usually reluctant to send this cavalry to the battlefield casually. But the situation is different now. Only by relying on the impact of the cavalry to take the lead can it be possible to break through the blockade of the fire in front. Seeing those cavalry rushing into the fire, or
Being more or less entangled in the flames, Liu Tong's heart felt like it was being grabbed by someone, and he felt terribly distressed.
"Want to leave? It's not that easy." Wang Zongshi was stunned when he saw that Liu Tong did not want to fight with him, but ordered to retreat. According to the intelligence, Liu Tong could not stand the provoking method the most. Logically speaking,
At this moment, he should have rushed over to fight with him. But Wang Zongshi couldn't care less. No matter what, Wang Zongshi couldn't let Liu Tong escape like this. He immediately waved the giant knife in his hand and shouted
: "Charge! Kill these Liu Jiajun rebel thieves. Anyone who captures Liu Tong alive will receive a reward of one thousand taels and be promoted to the third level."
"Kill!" Wang Zongshi gave this order, and all the soldiers of King Xin's army who were ambushing in the woods became excited. They all picked up their weapons and headed towards the official road to kill, and the target was naturally Liu.
Pass.
"Hmph!" Liu Tong, who had strong martial arts skills, was naturally not afraid of these small soldiers charging forward. In order to cover Zhu Hao and Wang Kuang's soldiers and horses to leave, Liu Tong simply swung his big gun to the right and snorted coldly,
But they started fighting with the soldiers of King Xin's army who came to kill them.
"Sir, let's go quickly. Let's go quickly." The five thousand cavalrymen led by Zhu Hao naturally rushed out of the siege of the wall of fire in one breath. Although some cavalrymen were still killed in the sea of fire, most of the troops and horses still rushed through.
When he saw Liu Tong still staying in the fire wall, Zhu Hao was so anxious that he shouted desperately, trying to persuade Liu Tong to rush out. Not only Zhu Hao, but also Wang Kuang, who was commanding the Chinese army to rush out, also shouted to Liu Tong.
, if something unexpected happened to the lord Liu Tong here, they would all want to die.
"It doesn't matter! You go out first, how can these little bastards stop me?" Liu Tong was eager to kill, waving his big gun to kill the enemy, and shouted at Wang Kuang and Zhu Hao.
"Stop being so arrogant. Take my knife." A thunderous shout sounded out, and Wang Zongshi suddenly rushed over, slashing Liu Tong with the giant knife in his hand. Wang Zongshi was not as good as those
Little pawn, Wang Zongshi had already joined the ranks of martial arts masters back then, and now Liu Tong had to concentrate on dealing with the power of this sword.
"Hmph!" The big gun moved horizontally, blocking the giant sword. At the same time, Liu Tong grunted. It was obvious that Wang Zongshi's sword was powerful and heavy, and Liu Tong was not able to catch it easily. After this sword, Liu Tong immediately
Understanding Wang Zongshi's level, he knew that he must not let Wang Zongshi take the initiative, otherwise, he would lose if he defended for a long time. So Liu Tong pushed hard with both arms, pushed the giant knife out, and then pointed the big gun directly towards
He stabbed Wang Zongshi in the face.
"Drink!" Faced with Liu Tong's shot, Wang Zongshi did not dodge or block, but just let the big gun stab his face. However, he raised the giant knife and pointed at it with his backhand.
Liu Tong's neck was slashed. If this continues, the big gun will definitely poke a bloody hole in Wang Zongshi's face, and Liu Tong's good head will probably be chopped off by the giant knife.
On the surface, Wang Zongshi's move seemed to be without defense, but it was to attack the place he must defend. How could Liu Tong be willing to fight Wang Zongshi? He could only withdraw the big gun, knock back with his hand, and block the giant sword.
.
Immediately, Liu Tong twisted his body, waved his backhand, and swept the big gun with one hand towards Wang Zongshi's waist. But Wang Zongshi still had no intention of dodging or blocking, and the giant knife was on his wrist.
Under his control, he stabbed directly towards Liu Tong's chest.
It was a life-for-life style of play again. Liu Tong was so angry at Wang Zongshi's style of play. After all, you, Wang Zongshi, have been a famous general for many years, but how could you be so rogue in fighting? But Liu Tong didn't know anything.
, before Wang Zongshi took refuge with Xinwang Zhao Zhen, he was a famous water thief on the Ganjiang and Yangtze Rivers, and this fighting method of exchanging lives for lives was also an alternative fighting method that he had practiced while living in the south of the Yangtze River.
