At this time, Chen Zhonghe, who was leading the army to Xin'an, didn't know that he was jumping into a pit. He was just a little puzzled why he didn't see the officers and soldiers working together to attack Xin'an along the way. Could it be that he came too early, or the officers and soldiers wanted to
Want to take a break?
If he were a famous general in the world, he would definitely be able to tell that the atmosphere near Xin'an was a bit strange. To be on the safe side, he would withdraw his troops and wait and see what happens. However, after all, Chen Zhonghe was not a master of war. He could not see through this strange situation. In addition, Wang Li was still there.
People on the side kept urging him to hurry up, which made Chen Zhonghe not allowed to think too much.
At about three o'clock in the morning, Chen Zhonghe's troops arrived at the west gate of Xin'an. Everything was as usual on the city walls. The defenders even asked in a serious tone, "Who are the soldiers and horses under the city? Please tell me their names."
"Chief Luo, Chen Zhonghe, heard that the officers and soldiers intended to besiege Xin'an, and came to help Chief Wang. Please open the city gate quickly and let us enter the city!"
A leader lay on the top of the city and took a look, and then said loudly, "It's the leader Chen Zhonghe. Open the city gate quickly and inform the leader Wang."
Seeing the reaction of the general at the head of the city, Chen Zhonghe nodded with satisfaction, and he still had some good eyesight. The west gate of Xin'an slowly opened, and Chen Zhonghe entered the city without much thought, with nearly 8,000 soldiers and horses behind him.
Continuously crossed the city gate, facing the city gate a hundred feet away, Wang Deding led his soldiers to guard there. Seeing Wang Deding, Chen Zhonghe was still a little confused, why did the king leader come out to greet Chen Zhonghe? After thinking about it, Chen Zhonghe
I feel relieved again. Leader Wang should be here to greet Wang Li, right?
Chen Zhonghe was thinking a lot, but in fact Wang Deding didn't see Wang Li at all. When he thought about it, since Chen Zhonghe had tied up Qing Lian, Wang Li would probably have suffered too. In addition, Wang Li was slow in walking, so he was confused
Who can find him among the army?
As soon as Chen Zhonghe entered the city, he waved to Wang Deding from a distance. As for the city gate closing behind him, he didn't think much about it. After all, the army could attack the city at any time, so how could he keep the city gate open for a long time? Wang Deding
There was a sinister smile on his face. Looking at Chen Zhonghe's arrogant look, he felt angry. Hehe, Chen, even if you are as cunning as a fox, you will end up in Xin'an County today.
As they got closer, Chen Zhonghe just wanted to dismount and salute Wang Deding, but when he lowered himself, he suddenly felt a hint of danger coming. He instinctively turned his body to the horse's belly, and then a strong wind blew past his ears.
Passed by, there was a ding sound, and an arrow hit the stone road ahead. Chen Zhonghe's mind tightened, and he suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking back, he saw a middle-aged man on the top of the city holding a long bow, with a horse-faced smirk.
Who is Qin Ying? Does he dare to touch Chen Zhonghe? Of course Qin Ying does not dare. The only person who dares is the leader Wang Deding. Chen Zhonghe broke into a cold sweat for a while, and he suddenly understood in his heart that Wang Deding wanted to cut him off.
Ah, but Chen Zhonghe was a veteran on the battlefield after all. He rushed back with a horse, then held a big halberd and cursed loudly, "Wang Deding, you little boy with yellow hair actually wanted to sneak attack Mr. Chen. If Mr. Chen can escape with his life today,
, I will fight you till death!"
"Hahaha, Chen Zhong and the dog thief, do you think you can still escape? The generals will obey the order, and whoever kills Chen Zhonghe will receive a reward of ten thousand taels!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless ambush soldiers appeared around the long street, and then there were many long bows on the top of the city, and arrows rained like rain. In an instant, Chen Zhonghe's men fell down like wheat. Chen Zhonghe's eyes were red with anger, and Wang Li
Seeing that the situation was not good, he wanted to escape, but Chen Zhonghe would not let him go. Wang De was determined to kill him, Chen, so he killed Wang Li first. Although Wang Li could use some strong sticks, how could Chen Zhonghe and others
The ruthless opponent on the battlefield was beheaded by Chen Zhonghe in just two moves.
Chen Zhonghe's thousands of soldiers and horses were blocked in the open space of the west city. Qin Ying led the long archers at the top of the city and kept firing arrows, killing Chen Zhonghe's men until they cried for their fathers and mothers. Chen Zhonghe knew that the possibility of survival was very small.
He immediately asked his general He Ti to attack the city gate, but how could he lead his own troops to attack Wang Deding. Chen Zhonghe was extremely brave and possessed a master of hidden weapons. He fought for his life and had a bit of a murderous spirit. Chen Zhonghe led his troops.
As soon as they rushed, Wang Deding's troops became more panicked. With this panic, the formation was not maintained, and the two sides fell into a fight.
The two sides fought together, and the long archers at the top of the city were useless. Qin Ying cursed and immediately organized his men to go down to the top of the city to help exterminate Chen Zhonghe's remaining troops.
Although Wang Deding had the advantage, Chen Zhonghe's troops had a large number of people. Both sides killed each other, turning the entire West City into a pot of porridge. Chaos, chaos, both sides were furious, and no one knew how much they had lost. After the chaotic battle,
In the middle, Chen Zhonghe was besieged by Qin Ying and others, but was defeated in the end. He was stabbed in the waist by an ordinary infantry with a spear and died. At the west gate, He Ti finally broke through with great effort.
As soon as the west city gate opened, He Ti led nearly a thousand remnants and fled in a hurry. Wang Deding finally surrounded Chen Zhonghe, but how could he allow He Ti's remnants to escape, so he asked Qin Ying to order soldiers and horses to pursue him.
Qin Ying was not slow, and He Ti's troops were also fighting and retreating. They were about to die on the spot, but they heard a cannon shot from the east, and then a cavalry swept in with a force that swallowed up the sky and destroyed the earth. At this moment,
The ground trembled, and the cavalry was flying. When the cavalry came out of the line, He Ti stupidly forgot to escape, Qin Ying also forgot to pursue, and everyone's heads were empty.
Cavalry? In addition to the cavalry of the Northern Shan Dynasty, is there another cavalry? Qin Ying and He Ti were both ready to meet this death cavalry, but the elite cavalry actually rushed halfway, turned their horses and went straight to the west gate of Xin'an. This time
Qin Ying collapsed on the ground. As soon as he threw away the knife, he sat on the ground and started crying. It was over. The officers and soldiers were wronged.
What Qin Ying could figure out, others could figure out, but what could he do if he understood it? At this time, the west gate of Xin'an was badly damaged, and Wang Deding's troops were still busy wiping out Chen Zhonghe's remaining soldiers in the city. The cavalry of the Northern Shanxi Army suddenly came out.
, what are they using to block it?
Zhou Dingshan personally led the cavalry, and Geng Zhongming led nearly ten thousand troops to rush from behind. Outside the city, the remnants of Qin Ying and He Ti had no intention of resisting. When they saw the coalition forces of Geng Zhongming and Zhou Dingshan, they immediately surrendered and fled. But inside the city, Zhou Dingshan had already
The soldiers were raging with no obstacles in front of them. After so many years of fighting, this battle was undoubtedly the easiest to fight.
Under the protection of everyone, Wang Deding opened the north city gate and escaped. Unfortunately, not far away, he was stopped by a fierce general. The fierce man was riding on a horse and carrying a steel knife. When he made a sound, it was the little azalea.
Is it honorable?
Hua Xiaorong was ordered by Geng Zhongming to ambush early in Ligu Town in the north of Wucheng. Wang De was determined to escape and go north, so Ligu Town was the only way to go. Hua Xiaorong picked up a simple knife and pointed it from a distance.
Everyone on the opposite side.
"Who is the traitor across from you, Wang Deding? If you dismount and accept the surrender, your life will be saved!" Hua Xiaorong has just joined the Northern Shanxi Army. He has never made any great achievements. He wears the military uniform of Dutou Primary School, and he was in the rebel army. Both sides
They belong to different camps and have never met, so Wang Deding and others did not take Hua Xiaorong seriously. Feng Pei, Wang Deding's number one general, also regarded Hua Xiaorong as a soft persimmon, holding a knife and shouted loudly, "Brothers
, protect the king’s head and leave first, hand this person over to a certain family!”
Seeing Feng Pei's reaction, Hua Xiaorong frowned, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. He was being underestimated. Humph, he still wanted to escape. Is it so easy to escape from the trap set by the supervisor himself? Facing Feng Pei, he still wanted to escape.
Pei, without saying a word, Hua Xiaorong lowered his body and hit the horse and rushed forward. Feng Pei relied on his extraordinary strength and slashed with his sword. This move did not mean to cost Xiaorong's life, he just wanted to use his strength to lift the man.
Fall off the horse.
It's not wrong for Feng Pei to think so. Hua Xiaorong has a simple knife in his hand, but he can't use his strength. Feng Pei also has a Fengzui knife suitable for immediate chopping, which gives him a natural advantage. What's more, Feng Pei relies on his own strength.
It was so shocking that I felt like I could hit this man with just one knife and his jaw would go numb.
The two horses crossed each other and gave a cry. What surprised Feng Pei was that Hua Xiaorong only staggered and did not fall off the horse. When they crossed the horse, Hua Xiaorong stepped on the stirrups with his legs, and with a little force, he fell off the horse.
The whole person jumped up, turned over, and landed behind Feng Pei. Two people and one horse. Hua Xiaorong held the knife in his back. Before Feng Pei could react, he swung it with force. Feng Pei let out an audible sound and rolled off the horse in the blink of an eye.
.
After killing Feng Pei, Hua Xiaorong continued to pursue without stopping. Sure enough, within a few miles of pursuit, he saw that Wang Deding's remaining soldiers had fallen into the siege set by Geng Zhongming. Wang Deding, as Luo Rucai's confidant, had no choice but to
Surrender was possible, and the leaders fought desperately with Geng Zhongming's troops. Geng Zhongming originally wanted to capture Wang Deding alive, but seeing how fierce Wang Deding was, he had no idea of capturing him alive. After receiving Geng Zhongming's order, Hua Xiaorong and Li Jiucheng went to kill Wang Deding, but it was Wang Deding.
After some effort, Hua Xiaorong and Li Jiucheng were no match for them. When they were trying to escape, Hua Xiaorong caught up with them from behind and killed them with an arrow.
In late March of the sixth year of Chongzhen, after one day, the Northern Shanxi Army annihilated Chen Zhonghe and Wang Deding with minimal casualties, killing and wounding countless prisoners. Among them, Luo Rucai's general Chen Zhonghe was killed, and Wang Deding and Luo Rucai's brother-in-law Wang Li were killed.
Kill. Of course, the reason why he could win so easily was entirely because there was already a conflict between Wang Deding and Chen Zhonghe. Both sides wanted to kill each other, so Tie Mo was just able to play some tricks and tricks. Chen Zhonghe just took advantage of the situation.
There are more than 30,000 people in the headquarters and Wang Deding's headquarters. With so many soldiers and horses, even if they cannot defeat the Northern Shan Army, as long as they defend Wucheng tightly, it is absolutely impossible for the Northern Shan Army to win easily.
The news of Xin'an's defeat soon spread to Cangzhou. After receiving the news, Luo Rucai still couldn't believe it. He lost more than 30,000 troops in one day, and also lost Wang Deding and his brother-in-law Wang Li. Even Chen Zhonghe was killed.
How can you believe this? Let alone an army of 30,000 people, even 30,000 pigs cannot be defeated so simply, right?
No wonder Luo Rucai didn't believe it. The Northern Shanxi Army was not a god, so how could it be so powerful? It's a pity that Luo Rucai didn't know the extent to which his subordinates were fighting for power. The next day, June 20th, a few horses came from the south.
Horses, several downtrodden soldiers were holding several wooden boxes. When the wooden boxes were placed in front of Luo Rucai, the cunning and wise Luo Tianwang, known as the rebel Little Cao Cao, could not breathe and almost fainted.
It turned out that what was placed in the wooden box was not anything good, but the heads of Wang Deding, Chen Zhonghe, Wang Li and others.
Of course, Tie Mo deliberately gave the head to Luo Rucai, just to anger him. According to Sha Diao's investigation, although Luo Rucai is cunning, he has an average temper and is extremely hot-tempered. With this kind of character, once he encounters something that he cannot bear, he
, will definitely make mistakes. At this time, Luo Rucai and everyone made a big mistake. They decided to assemble most of their troops and start a decisive battle with the Northern Shanxi Army in the Quemen Mountain area.
The crowd was excited, but only two people frowned. These two people were Luo Rucai's military advisors, Qiao Lu and Bian Xiang. The two looked at each other, and Bian Xiang stepped out and cupped his hands.
Raise an army out of anger, move if it suits your interests, and stop if it doesn't suit your interests. Now that the Northern Jin Army is invading, its fighting force is tyrannical. We should plan for it slowly and don't fight head on. I hope your Majesty will think more about it and don't fall into the trap of the Living Hell King.
The trick."
Luo Rucai was not a great talent. Bian Xiang kept nagging a lot, and he understood that "a general must not raise an army out of anger." Before Luo Rucai could speak, Gu Feilang looked over with eyes wide open, "Okay.
You Bian Xiang, now that all your brothers have died at the hands of the officers and soldiers, you don’t want to think about how to take revenge, so why bother trying to do it? Do you want the officers and soldiers to cannibalize us one by one?"
When Gu Feilang spoke, he was immediately echoed by many people. Luo Rucai had a dark face, waved his hands, and hummed impatiently, "There is no need to say more, military advisor. I will definitely take the iron-ink dog head. The battle is ahead. Who dares to talk nonsense anymore?"
The eight ways are to disturb the morale of the army."
Luo Ru just said this, but Bian Xiang didn't dare to say anything. He could only look at Qiao Ru, and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
In fact, Luo Rucai is not really stupid. Couldn't he see the danger in this? If he is really so easily fooled, then he is not the frightened little Cao Cao. Wang Deding, Chen Zhonghe, and even his brother-in-law Wang Li
Everything was lost in Xin'an. If he could still hold back and not take action, what would the people under his command think of him, Mr. Luo?
Many people were already thinking of taking refuge with Li Zicheng. If he still acted like a coward at this time, he would have no chance. Therefore, even if he knew the danger, even if many people would be killed or injured, this battle would still be fought.
Quemen Mountain is located to the north of Mianchi and west of Hangu. This place is famous not only for the Quemen Highlands, but also for donkey meat. Unfortunately, these days, donkeys, horses and cattle are scarce, and the court strictly prohibits private slaughter.
Therefore, there are very few people selling donkey meat, and they sell it secretly. Mianchi and Mengjin are separated between Quemen Mountain and Daming Mansion. The Northern Shanxi Army is based in northern Shanxi, so it is considered a guest in this place in Henan. Tie Mo is anxious
It seems unwise to send troops to the mountain without a gate. But Tie Mo naturally has his own reasons for doing this. He came to Henan not just to defeat Luo Rucai, but to put pressure on Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. As long as Henan is like this
If Bian cannot withstand the pressure and something goes wrong, then he can use the excuse to cause trouble with the cabinet.
