Chapter 17: Soldiers approach the city and force Kyoto (2)
Suo Chao rode his horse to attack Lin Chong. The two men swung their swords and crossed each other in the formation. The troops immediately cheered and cheered. Lin Chong's spear shot through the sun like a rainbow, and Suo Chao's big ax split Huashan. The two of them went back and forth, fighting.
They were so happy that after fighting for more than fifty or sixty rounds, it was hard to tell the winner. When Wen Da saw it, he called his general. After receiving the order, the general quietly took out an arrow feather from the flying fish bag on his waist.
, picked up the bow and arrow and hit the horse, and moved a few dozen steps closer. While Suo Chao and Lin Chong were hovering in the same place fighting to the death, he quickly took action, nocked the bow and arrow and shot an arrow at Lin Chong.
Lin Chong and Suo Chao were fighting at a critical point, and they were inseparable. They had no time to pay attention to the hidden arrow. And just when the guy was about to shoot the arrow, Liu Quantian on the other side had already seen the move on the other side.
, skilled in bow and horse, he immediately raised his bow and looked over there, and there was an arrow. It hit the heart of the general without hesitation, and the arrow in his hand was deflected by three points, and shot through Suo Chao's chest with a swish.
Suo Chao screamed in pain from his arm, and the big ax in his hand fell to the ground. Lin Chong did not chase him, and allowed him to turn back to his horse and look at the formation to escape.
At this time, Fan Rui waved his sword and launched several whirlwinds that swept towards the confrontation. When the officers and soldiers were in panic, Shi Jin pointed the tip of his whip, and the generals rushed over with all their strength and led the three armies, large and small, to kill them in an overwhelming manner.
For a time, the battlefield screamed, corpses lay everywhere, and blood flowed into rivers. The officers and soldiers were defeated and lost. Countless people abandoned their helmets and armor and fled in the wind. The Green Forest Army pursued them through Yujia Village, and then attacked and captured Huai River.
Shu Xiaozhai. Wen Da retreated to Feihu Valley that night before joining up with the reinforcements from the city. He barely resisted the momentum of the Green Forest Army. He held on for a whole life and finally retreated from the Green Forest Army. At this time, Wen Da planned to order his troops.
, more than half were killed or injured.
On that day, Shi Jin stationed his troops in Huaishupo Village, preparing to launch another attack.
Wu Yong, who was sitting in the main tent of the Chinese army, said: "After two defeats in a row, the officers and soldiers must be timid. If they don't take advantage of the situation to catch up, they are afraid that other troops and horses will be dispatched and their morale will be improved. At that time, if you want to do this
Fighting vertically and horizontally, I'm afraid it's rare."
Shi Jin nodded and said: "The words of the military advisor are absolutely correct." Then he sent an order: That night, the elite troops and horses were divided into four groups, marched through the night, and killed Feihu Valley.
Let's say that Wen Da rushed to Feihu Valley and sat in the village to catch his breath. The primary school officer rushed over and reported that there was a fire in the mountains to the east. After hearing this, Wen Da felt that something was ominous, so he quickly packed up his clothes, mounted his horse, and led his generals to surrender.
When Wen Da looked to the east, he saw raging fires all over the mountains. Half of the mountains were ignited. The flames reached the sky and smoke billowed. Just when Wen Da looked at it in horror, there were also fires in the mountains to the west. After Wen Da heard the report, he hurriedly fired the fire.
When the soldiers and horses hurriedly turned to the west to look, they heard the earth-shattering shouts from the rear of the horses. The first general, Luan Tingyu, and his deputy generals, Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang, rushed out from the east side of the fire. Wen Da had been fighting for a while during the day. At this moment, the enemy met.
He was jealous and immediately ordered his troops to rush forward. While shouting to kill, the two groups were engaged in a melee.
Just at this moment, a cry to kill broke out from the south. It was the general of the left army, Hu Yanzhuo, with his deputy Mei Zhan, spreading his whip, and ordered his soldiers and horses to rush over and cut off Wen Da's retreat. Countless people screamed, horses neighing.
Wen Da's army and horses were in chaos, they broke out in all directions and were brutally killed by the Green Forest Army. When the officers and soldiers guarding the camp saw the fight, their faces turned pale with fear. Several generals who stayed behind quickly gathered the remaining troops and horses.
Come to rescue. At this time, the fire on the mountains on both sides was soaring into the sky and gradually spreading down. I saw a group of people rushing out from the front. It was the Demon King Fan Rui with the eight-armed Nezha Xiang Chong and the Flying Great Sage Li Gun. I saw Fan Rui holding a long sword.
The sword was muttered, and with a shout of "ji", where the long sword pointed, two fire dragons with billowing smoke rushed out from the fire on both sides, and rushed straight to the officers and soldiers camp, and the camp was immediately burned down.
, the fire flashed for a moment, and the officers and soldiers were so shocked that they called their father and mother. Before they could recover, Fan Rui waved his weapon, led the eight-armed Nezha Xiang Chong and the flying great sage Li Gun, and commanded the soldiers and horses to cover up and kill him.
Covered by each other, the blades of the officers and soldiers were unable to reach, and all the javelins and flying knives were like rain falling, exploding towards the officers and soldiers. How could those officers and soldiers resist it? Under the shields and hobs, they quickly fell.
He killed the ants on the hot pot and fled in all directions. One of them was hit by a javelin and fell off his horse, and the other died from a random knife from a rolling card.
Wen Da desperately broke through, and finally managed to seize a gap and lead the army to escape. At this moment, he only heard the earth-shattering sound of artillery. It turned out that Hongtian Lei Lingzhen and his deputies were escorting him to take a way around.
In Feihu Valley, the Fengling mother-child cannon was fired towards Li Cheng's camp. A fire exploded where the sound of the cannon was heard. Li Cheng had long heard the cry of killing, and was calling his troops to prepare to go out to help in the battle, but
The camp was blown up by that piece of artillery. Li Cheng had been training swords and guns in the martial arts field all day long. He had never seen such firearms before. Those things that were like thunderbolts immediately scared Li Cheng and others to the spot. Even the vanguard
Suo Chao was also frightened to the point of being unable to move. Li Cheng hurriedly led his troops out of the camp, looked to the west and saw where the artillery fire was, and immediately rushed towards him with his troops. At this moment, a sudden explosion broke out on the way.
There was a cry of killing, and a group of soldiers and horses rushed out to block the road. They were the leading generals Wang Huan, Wang Wende, Xiang Yuanzhen, as well as the two-headed snake Jie Zhen and the two-tailed scorpion Jie Bao. Wang Huan took the lead and led the troops to intercept.
When Li Cheng was on his way, he shouted: "I am Wang Huan, come up here!" He waved his sword and took Li Cheng. At this time, Wang Wende flew up to attack Suo Chao, and Xiang Yuanzhen chopped down several generals.
, Jie Zhen Jie Bao led half of the troops and horses to fight out from all directions amidst the sound of war drums. At this moment, there was a fierce competition. The killed officers and soldiers ran around in disorder, discarding their helmets and armor, and urinating.
Seeing the strength of the thieves, Li Cheng did not dare to fight. He and Suo Chao gathered their troops and turned around to break out. The two of them worked together to break through the Green Forest Army troops and fled towards Bianjing City. They happened to meet Wen Da who was wielding a sword and fighting hard to get the way.
The remaining soldiers stayed together, fighting and walking, until daybreak, when they reached the city gates.
When Tong Guan in the city heard the news, he was so shocked that he lost two of his three souls and only one of his seven souls was left. He quickly ordered the soldiers and horses in the city to come out and beat the disabled people. He closed the city gate tightly and could not get out.
Within a few hours, the soldiers and horses of the Green Forest Army came after them and arrived at the stronghold in front of the east gate, preparing to attack the city.
Let's say that Tong Guan brought Li Cheng and other defeated soldiers, less than 30,000, back to the city, and immediately went to the Privy Council. At this moment, Cai Jing, who heard the news of the defeat, had already come to sit in the courtyard. Everyone discussed countermeasures, and Cai Jing knew Bian.
Liang was in danger, and he had already discussed with the Holy Emperor a few days ago to go to Daming Mansion to "search". Now that the Green Forest Army has arrived, the troops are sharp and the thieves are powerful. I am afraid that the situation is already very critical, and if we don't withdraw, we may risk the death of the emperor.
Just a few days ago, Cai Jing had issued dozens of military orders and dispatched soldiers and generals from all over the country to come to Jingnan. However, Cai Jing, who was always cautious, did not send Fang La and others to garrison in Beijing. He was deeply afraid that Fang La would enter Kyoto with his treacherous intentions still intact.
Instead, he lured the wolf into the house. But when Cai Jing received an urgent document from Liang Zhongshu of Yingtian Prefecture, he issued a secret order and sent Fangla and others to garrison and repel the enemy. Now, Cai Jing knew that the Holy Emperor had to travel north, but Bian Jing also
We must defend to the death, and the dignitaries in the court are in chaos. Everyone is in danger. Cai Jing summoned several leading officials to come to discuss important matters. Everyone was confused and confused with fearful expressions, and they were all talking inconclusively.
At this time, the defeated general Wen Da said: "The thieves are approaching the city. The matter is critical. If we delay, we will surely fall. The Grand Master can send a report to the customs and send his confidants to various places close to the state capital at night to urge them to hurry up."
The best strategy is to dispatch elite troops to come to the rescue and besiege the green forest; secondly, the people in Bianliang City in Tokyo can be sent to the city to help and protect the city, preparing wooden cannons and stones, strong crossbows and hard bows, gray bottles of golden juice, and dawn night
Di Bei: In this way, there will be no danger."
Li Cheng also said at this time: "I heard something that can be used as a reference."
"Oh? Say it!" Taishi Cai looked at Li Cheng.
Li Cheng said: "The last general heard that the Green Forest Army pretended to love the people. Previously, some generals had no choice but to send the people to the top of the city without a strong man on either side. When the Green Forest Army arrived at the city, they pretended not to attack, so they hid.
Live through a calamity.”
"Is this happening?!" Tong Guan was surprised, and a hint of cunning joy flashed in his small eyes, as if he had caught the Green Forest Army's weak spot.
After hearing this, Cai Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Is this serious?"
"I heard that this is indeed the case." Wen Da agreed.
"In this case, it is better to believe that it is true than to believe that it is not true. Li Cheng, you will take care of this matter. Capture all the old and young in the city and go to the top of the city." Cai Jing said this, paused and asked: "How is Suo Chao's injury?"
"I was shot in the right arm. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold a weapon." Li Cheng reported truthfully.
"Then...tomorrow Wen Da will take his soldiers and horses and the forbidden troops in the city to accompany me to escort the Holy Shang north to Beijing. Later, you come to my house and I will discuss these matters with you in detail!" After Cai Jing said this, Wen Da could leave as soon as he heard this.
The front line was in chaos, so I couldn't help but feel overjoyed and quickly clasped my fists to accept the order.
At the end of the night, Cai Jing sent his general Wen Da, in full armor, and all the soldiers and horses of the imperial army. Without alerting the officials in the court, he quietly received a secret order to open the city gate drawbridge, and escorted the holy emperor to Beijing with Cai Jing, taking his confidants with him.
The shrewd people split the border halfway to report to neighboring prefectures and sent troops to rescue. The safety of Bianliang in Tokyo was thus taken over by Tong Guan alone. Li Cheng captured the old and young in the city that day and rushed to the city to defend it. The officers and soldiers in the city were preparing to fight.
No problem.
It is said that Shi Jin dispatched the generals of the Green Forest Army. At this time, he also quietly led the army to surround the city. He deployed troops on the east, west and north sides, leaving only the south gate open to prevent the trapped beasts from fighting in the city. However, a horse patrol from the front reported that the city
There were so many people, old and young, mixed up in the crowd. Shi Jin was shocked when he heard that not only Lei Zhen's artillery could not be used, but also the planned attack plan could not be carried out. Wu Yong also used a rat-proof weapon. Everyone was depressed and had to build underground strongholds in the east, west, north and west.
He led his troops in front of the city, shouting and urging them to fight. However, Li Cheng could not hold on.
