December 13th is a day worth remembering. Li Tieming, the former head of the Qinchuan Li family who was seriously ill and dying, once again put on his armor, except for Wubi Cangxiong who was responsible for containing the Bloody Plateau army on Luoche Road and the prefect of Dahu Road.
Gu Changfeng, the 100,000-strong Dingnan Army and the Yellow Turban Army all secretly gathered near Tiandu Shengjing. News of the full-scale war between Haotian and Obsburg has spread to China, and Chu Xiangcheng and other high-level officials are all there.
There was a meeting in Tiandu Shengjing, and Li Tieming and others finally couldn't wait any longer.
As long as Tiandu Shengjing can be controlled, all the senior officials in Hetao will become hostages in his hands, and the world will be at his fingertips.
"At midnight, the whole army launches an attack!" Li Tieming shouted in a deep voice.
However, there were not many people in the Jingxi Palace at this time. Zhang Keliang, Cheng Guochi and other big names had already lurked near Tiandu Shengjing. The reason why Li Tieming did not leave was because he and Li Tiezhan needed to capture Yinfeng Castle. Here
There are a total of 50,000 garrison troops in the Loop, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong. Even with the convenience of sneak attacks, I am afraid that the 100,000 soldiers of the Poili Legion will suffer heavy losses. They must seize this northward passage in the shortest possible time, and then use the autumn wind to
The trend of sweeping fallen leaves swept across Hetao and Northwest 2nd Road.
Chen hour is the time Li Tieming and others agreed to launch a full-scale attack.
When Chen hour arrives, Wubi Cangxiong will go from Luoxue, Song Junlin will go from Yizhou Road, and Li Tieming will go from Qinchuan, and send troops to the north at the same time. At the same time, Zhongxing Emperor Liu Xian and An Yongchang will launch a rebellion in Tiandu Shengjing to
In response to the Yellow Turbans outside the city, the two Dingnan legions entered the city and captured all the leaders of the Hetao. Cheng Xianqing and Zhu Zhao's Ji Le soldiers would quickly rush to the river to cut off the north escape route of the Hetao.
"Tie Zhan, please help me think about whether we still have any loopholes." Li Tieming said slightly nervously.
Li Tiezhan thought for a moment and said: "There should be no loopholes. It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. We have been quite well prepared, and now it just depends on luck. What I'm worried about is that the Castle of Darkness belongs to my Li family after all.
Although we have the advantage in terms of military strength in the border fortress, Llano is Bian Zhongxing's right-hand man, and there are 50,000 soldiers of the Rock Legion under his command, so we are under considerable pressure."
"Being prepared and unprepared, we have already won half the battle. The rest can only depend on God's will." Li Tieming said proudly: "But I believe that God will not destroy my Li family!"
"By the way, is there any danger over there in Xiao Mo?" Li Tiezhan asked.
The enlarged military and political meeting in Hetao had been held yesterday. Because Li Xiaomo had just returned from the front line, Chu Xiangcheng called him to make a report. Sheng Lanxin had a close relationship with Li Xiaomo, so he was also called there. Originally, he was a broken man.
Li Tiezhan, the commander of the established legion, should also be eligible to participate in the meeting, but Chu Xiangcheng did not notify him. Not only him, but also Gu Changfeng, Cheng Guochi, Zhang Keliang and others did not notify. So, everyone who should have been
The meeting with the participation of all senior leaders eventually became an enlarged meeting of the senior leaders of the Hetao. This also gave Li Tiezhan and others more reason to rebel, because the Hetao did not give them equal treatment at all.
Li Tieming thought for a moment: "There shouldn't be any problem. I've already told Xiao Mo secretly and asked him to slip away immediately after the meeting this afternoon."
After a pause, Li Tieming said in a deep voice: "Iron War, we have to prepare well. Let's fight now to become a dragon or a snake!"
Sitting in the conference room of Jingbei Hou Mansion, Li Xiaomo and Sheng Lanxin were drowsy. They originally thought that Chu Xiangcheng had specially convened an enlarged military and political meeting, and all the military and political officials from the Hetao and those close to the Hetao south of the river had arrived.
This meeting should be quite important. But Li Xiaomo didn't expect that it would be delayed for two whole days just by wrangling over minutiae. Bian Zhongxing couldn't stand it as early as yesterday, so he simply didn't come today.
"If this continues, I'm afraid there will be no results after ten or eight days of discussion." Li Xiaomo said in a low voice.
Sheng Lanxin allowed Li Xiaomo to put his hand on her thigh under the table and whispered: "Stop fooling around, Mr. Chu is ready to speak. Oh my God, today is finally over."
Sure enough, Chu Xiangcheng took a sip of tea and began to summarize the work of the morning. It was nothing more than that everyone said very well today and the suggestions were very constructive. However, there was no consensus on some issues, so we need to continue to solicit everyone's opinions.
Our future is bright, the future is promising, the difficulties are temporary, and there is no need to worry. After all the nonsense, it’s time for another cup of tea.
Li Xiaomo wailed: This means that such a boring meeting will last for who knows how long.
"Li Xiaomo and Sheng Lanxin stay, and the rest can disperse. Everyone has something to do today, so there is no need to procrastinate here." Chu Xiangcheng said with a smile.
Li Sheng and Li Sheng looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
A servant in Tsing Yi walked in with tea, and Chu Xiangcheng tapped his chin imperceptibly. The man in Tsing Yi put down the tea, his hands were like electricity, and suddenly tapped the acupuncture points on the backs of Li Sheng and Li Sheng. The two were shocked and hurriedly evaded.
Just as his body swayed, the acupuncture point on his vest had already fallen into the opponent's palm. An extremely sharp zhenqi penetrated the meridians of the two of them like a sharp sword, sealing their skills instantly.
"Who is so despicable!" Li Xiaomo shouted angrily.
A soft sigh came from behind: "It's so dangerous. If we are on the slow front, one of the two of them will definitely escape. I haven't seen you for a few years. I didn't expect your progress to be so fast."
The man in Tsing Yi walked up to the two of them and looked at them with a smile. Li Xiaomo was surprised: "Uncle Chu?"
Chu Xiangcheng came over and said with a smile: "Jian Huan, you did a great job. You take the two of them into the carriage immediately. We must evacuate immediately."
Chu Jianhuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will pay attention."
After saying that, holding one in each hand, Chu Jianhuan walked out effortlessly. Li Xiaomo wanted to roar, but couldn't make a sound. When he walked out of the door, a carriage was already waiting here. And along the way, the entire Jingbei
The people in the palace were actually preparing to evacuate in an orderly manner.
Putting the two people in the carriage, Chu Jianhuan jumped up. The carriage started slowly, heading due north. Along the way, Li Xiaomo clearly heard the sound of countless carriages running over the bluestone pavement. After a while,
The speed of the carriage paused slightly, and it must have arrived near the city gate. But soon, the carriage began to accelerate. In addition to the sound of the wheels, the sound of neat footsteps continued to be heard.
Perhaps after leaving Tiandu Shengjing, Chu Jianhuan was not afraid of them doing bad things, so he untied the acupuncture points of the two of them with a flick of his sleeves.
Li Xiaomo shouted angrily: "Uncle Chu, what on earth is going on?"
"You should know it in your own hearts." Chu Jianhuan said slowly: "Xiao Mo, my eldest brother and I are trying to save you two. Li Tieming and Tian Fengyu will not succeed. My eldest brother and Bian Shuai have been prepared.
You see, you launched an attack in the morning, but before that, all the direct descendants of Hetao had already withdrawn to the north of the river."
Li Xiaomo opened the car curtain and saw constant traffic outside the window. Needless to say, these were people who were leaning towards the Loop.
"Those of us are faster, so we go directly to the river and cross the river through the Goryeo Navy. Others board the ship at the water transport terminal in Shengjing, Tiandu, and then cross with the help of the Goryeo Navy transport ship
Luoshui entered the river. When they arrived at the Holy Capital of Tiandu, there was only an empty city left here."
Li Xiaomo felt like he was struck by lightning. Although he had known that the rebellion would not succeed, he still had some luck in his heart. If he could really restore the situation before heading south with Hetao as his father expected, that would naturally be the best. But
Since Chu Xiangcheng had already prepared, it would be impossible for him to succeed.
The carriage galloped all the way and arrived at the river in the evening. Several pontoons had been built on the river, and everyone was crossing the river in an orderly manner. Chu Jianhuan did not restrict the freedom of Li Sheng and Li Sheng, allowing them to
Watch from the river.'
Suddenly, Li Xiaomo spotted an unusually familiar figure: "Zhang Zhenxin, why are you here? Didn't you die in the battle?"
A general with legion commander-level epaulettes on his shoulders jumped off his horse with a roar, and his armor made a clattering sound. When he saw Li Xiaomo, he smiled and said: "General, I haven't seen you for many days, how are you doing lately!"
Li Xiaomo felt cold sweat dripping from his vest. He was not frightened. The Zhang Zhenxin in front of him was definitely a living person, so he would definitely not be a ghost in broad daylight. He just thought of the only possibility of the matter. Starting from the conquest of Sashan
, Hetao began to lay out in China. Now that Zhang Zhenxin, who had been killed in battle, appeared here, where are the two legions of Red Snake and Qilin that were severely injured by strange things at that time?
Zhang Xinxin grinned: "General, did you say that?"
"Brother, the time has come." Li Tiezhan said in a deep voice under Yinfeng Castle.
Li Tieming's eyebrows furrowed: "Why didn't the spy we sneaked in react at all?"
Li Tiezhan chuckled: "Brother, you are too suspicious. Didn't we agree that after we launched the attack, they would immediately kill the soldiers guarding the gate to welcome us into the city. The time has come, but we have not ordered the attack yet."
"Then what are you waiting for? Tie Zhan, it's up to you." Li Tieming said with a straight face, but his tightly clenched fists revealed the panic in his heart.
Li Tiezhan was also a little nervous. He slowly raised his arms, and the soldiers behind him all held their breath, waiting for his order.
"Kill!" Li Tiezhan shouted loudly, and the soldiers of Poli Legion immediately rushed forward like a tide.
At this moment, thousands of arrows suddenly fired from the city tower. The soldiers of the Po Li Legion did not expect that the defenders in the city had been prepared, and there were countless casualties. The originally open door slowly closed, and on the city tower, under the sunset, a
The skinny figure is as solid as a mountain.
"Bian Zhongxing!" Looking at his empty sleeves, Li Tiezhan took a breath of air.
"Everyone!" Bian Zhongxing said calmly: "You have been waiting for this day for a long time, right? Unfortunately, I have to tell you some bad news. We have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Li Tieming gritted his teeth and said: "Bian Zhongxing, why do you appear here!"
"Why do you appear here? That's why I appear here." Bian Zhongxing's voice was calm: "I will give you a last chance, that is to immediately put down your weapons and surrender. The Lord will handle it as appropriate at that time.
you."
Li Tieming said fiercely: "Don't even think about it! How did you know about our plan? Did that little beast Xiao Mo tell you!"
Bian Zhongxing gave a rare smile: "Every move you make has already fallen into our eyes, why do you need him to tell us. But he is now being escorted to Hebei with Sheng Lanxin. Li Xiaomo is a man, we can't let him be
You are implicated. King Jingxi, we have tried our best to preserve a bloodline for your Li family, you should thank us."
"Attack! Attack!" Li Tieming shouted angrily. The Po Li Legion was originally a descendant of Qinchuan, especially after Li Xiaomo formed the Flying Bear Legion, the Po Li Legion became the private army of the Li family. After hearing the order from the family leader, Po Li Legion
The soldiers of the established legion suddenly rushed towards Yinfeng Castle like a tide.
Li Tiezhan sighed. He wanted to stop him, but looking at Li Tieming in anger, he really couldn't say anything. Since Bian Zhongxing appeared here, the Yinfeng Castle must have been prepared. Not to mention that there are still La
Nuo's 50,000 garrison was just Bian Zhongxing, which was enough to make him give up all his thoughts. Bian Zhongxing was the world's best defense master. It was difficult to imagine that the Yanzhou capital was under siege by a million troops and only had weak soldiers guarding it.
It is still standing, let alone the Yinfeng Castle which occupies a favorable location?
Just as Li Tieming led his army to attack Yinfeng Castle, Cheng Guochi and Zhang Keliang's 200,000 troops also appeared at the gate of Tiandu Shengjing. But what surprised them was that the gate of Tiandu Shengjing was still wide open.
, several confidants of Emperor Zhongxing Liu Xian: Guan Xiang, Liu Chaoting and Han Cheng are all waiting here.
"What's going on? The Panshi Legion is stationed in the city? Have you already got the situation under control?" Zhang Keliang asked doubtfully.
Guan Xiang said: "Back to your lord, all the senior officials of the Panshi Corps garrison and Hetao and their families have disappeared. After careful inquiry, we found out that they began to evacuate in batches last night. The last batch was evacuated at noon today.
of."
Cheng Guochi quickly asked: "In which direction did you retreat?"
"It should be both water and land. The last group took the land route and should have crossed the river at Huayuan Ferry to go north."
Zhang Keliang wanted to lead his army in pursuit, but the sky was already dark at this time, so he had to sigh and said: "I hope Cheng Xianqing and Zhu Zhao can intercept them." In this way, Hetao handed over Tiandu Shengjing to them, and everyone
I feel very uneasy. The most important thing is that the retreat from the Loop was obviously very detailed. Not only the direct descendants of the Loop, but also all the people who were inclined to the Loop were evacuated.
"I am worried, General. Since Hetao has been prepared for a long time, can Cheng Xianqing and Zhu Zhao's 30,000 makeshift soldiers alone be able to block their attack?" Cheng Guochi said worriedly.
If Zhu Zhao had heard Cheng Guochi's words, he would have definitely cursed at the mouth of a crow. He dived to the Huayuan Ferry in the middle reaches of the river at the appointed time, which was the only way to retreat north of the Hetao. It was already dark at that time
In order to hide his traces, Zhu Zhao even had the soldiers painted black so that they could play a greater role in the subsequent battle. However, what made him depressed was that just as he approached the Garden Ferry, countless burning torches suddenly appeared.
Zhu Zhao suddenly understood that his position had been completely exposed, and was about to order a retreat when the thunderous sound of horse hooves rang out, and at least 50,000 cavalry came out in a dark force.
If the people under his command were the elites of the Holy Sect of Paradise when they first launched their troops, it would not be impossible to block the attack of the opponent's cavalry. However, the Holy Sect of Paradise has been completely eradicated by Haotian, and only some soldiers and generals have escaped. These 30,000
The soldiers were still cobbled together with great effort, and their combat effectiveness was naturally limited. Zhu Zhao was worthy of being the best general in the world. In an instant, he understood that the situation was irreversible. He left 10,000 soldiers behind and led his troops to escape in despair.
The Hetao cavalry did not pursue them. For them, the most important thing now was to protect the last retreating group of people and leave smoothly. As for Zhu Zhao, there was plenty of time to deal with them.
Zhu Zhao's luck was pretty good. The most unlucky ones were his uncle and nephew Song Junlin on Yizhou Road. The two led more than 20,000 soldiers to sneak near Jianmen Pass. This is the only way from Yizhou Road to Hetao.
However, there were no troops stationed here in the Hetao, so both of them were quite relieved. However, when their entire army had just entered the Jianmen Plank Road, the Hetao army appeared from both ends.
Those who came were the soldiers of the Red Snake Legion. Their previous station was the Yinfeng Mountains, and they were naturally familiar with the geographical environment here. The Sword Gate Plank Road was originally the most conducive to ambushes. Jia Junlou, deputy commander of the Red Snake Legion, gave an order,
Suddenly thousands of arrows were fired. The Song family soldiers suffered numerous casualties. They were not regular troops in the first place. When the situation was not good, they all dropped their weapons and surrendered. Song Junlin was furious and rushed towards the Red Snake Army with his die-hard subordinates.
When they went up, Jia Junlou didn't show any politeness to him and directly shot them into hedgehogs.
Song Zhengchun wanted to come to the rescue, but the road was narrow and the archers in the Hetao completely blocked his way. The elder of the Song family who finally survived the clearing out of the Hetao was not so lucky this time. And Song Junlin was not able to do so.
What we know is that the Song family navy, which had been surviving for two years on the Xijiang River relying on the protection of Gu Changfeng and others, under the leadership of general Song Qian, had just arrived at the Yuzhou Road section of the river and ran into the well-prepared Gaoli River.
After a fierce battle, the Song family navy was completely wiped out, and the Zhang family navy fled in panic.
At this point, the Song family on Yizhou Road, except for Song Wuke who mysteriously disappeared and the more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, has truly become a cloud in history and became the first batch of unlucky ghosts to be eliminated during the rebellion.
All in all, Wubi Cangxiong had the best luck. As soon as he sent troops to go north, he was blocked by Shan Heqi's Scarlet Cavalry and more than 200,000 troops from the Panshi and Qilin legions. If it hadn't been getting late, the Scarlet Allied Forces would have taken advantage of the situation.
Wubi Cangxiong knew what was going on, and after retreating, he immediately ordered the entire army to mobilize to resist the possible revenge of the Hetao army.
