Xia Luqi is the most powerful general of the Qi army. This time he was defeated by Ran Min, which had a great impact on the morale of the Qi army. If he died in battle, the blow to the morale of the Qi army would definitely be fatal, so Zhu
Naturally, Tianpeng couldn't let Ran Min kill Xia Ruqi.
As soon as Xia Luqi showed signs of defeat, Zhu Tianpeng called the generals to prepare for support, but it was still a step too late. They were defeated before they reached Xia Luqi.
Ran Min was so powerful that even Xia Luqi, the first general of the Qi army, was no match for him. Zhu Tianpeng didn't think he was as good as Xia Luqi, so naturally he didn't dare to fight Ran Min alone.
It's just a gang fight.
After some rescue, Xia Luqi escaped back to his own formation, while Zhu Tianpeng, together with the other generals, joined forces to besiege and vowed to kill Ran Min.
After a melee, although Ran Min suffered some injuries, he killed three Qi generals, Liu Zhijun, Kou Yanqing, and Zhang Quanyi, and even injured Zhu Tianpeng.
Even the general was seriously injured, which further damaged the morale of the Qi army. Li Jing saw this opportunity and personally led the cavalry to cover up the attack.
After a fierce battle, the Qi army lost 5,000 troops, retreated fifty miles and formed a camp to defend. The Qin army won a complete victory in the first battle.
The defeat in the first battle greatly dampened the morale of the Qi army, but the Qi army still had the advantage in strength.
Zhu Tianpeng also didn't expect that the Qin army, half of which were new soldiers, would use such combat power under the command of Li Jing. So while looking for ways to defeat the enemy, he also accepted Zhu Wen's suggestion and marched to the rear.
Requested the dispatch of 10,000 additional reinforcements.
Huang Chao in Linzi received the battle report from the front line. When he learned that even Xia Luqi had been defeated, he naturally understood the difficulties Zhu Tianpeng had encountered. After thinking for a while, he immediately decided to send 10,000 more troops.
The Qi Army has transferred another 10,000 troops to the front line. When they arrive, the Qi Army's strength will also increase to 55,000, which will undoubtedly increase the pressure on the Qin Army.
It can be seen that just before the reinforcements were about to arrive, a sudden change occurred within the Qi army. Zhu Wen faked a military order and forcibly took over the military power, and then led an army of 30,000 back to Linzi.
When Zhu Tianpeng learned about this, he was completely shocked. He retreated without getting the emperor's order and found such a critical opportunity.
At this time, the troops in Linzi City were empty and it was impossible to resist the 30,000-strong army. Zhu Wen obviously wanted to rebel.
With this thought, Zhu Tianpeng had no intention of fighting anymore and immediately prepared to lead his army to retreat to Qi. However, as many miles as he retreated, Li Jing led him up as many miles as possible, giving him no chance to retreat safely.
At this point, Zhu Tianpeng could not understand that Huang Chao's rebellion must have been supported by the imperial court, so Li Jing would cooperate with him.
With Li Jing here, Zhu Tianpeng naturally cannot withdraw his troops easily, but he has 25,000 elite soldiers in his hands, while Li Jing has mostly new soldiers, so there is nothing he can do to defeat Zhu Tianpeng easily.
On the other side, Zhu Wen led 30,000 troops back to Linzi without encountering any obstacles along the way. The generals and officials along the way were deceived by Zhu Wen's false orders. When the real Huangchao King's order was passed down, Zhu Wen had already arrived in Linzi.
The city is down.
"General Zhu Wen... No, Your Highness King Qi, there are only 5,000 defenders left in Linzi City now. They will definitely not be able to stop your 30,000 troops. As long as you defeat Linzi City and kill Huang Chao, there will be no more defenders."
It can prevent you from ascending to the throne." The Jin Yiwei envoy said.
Zhu Wen's eyes were also full of blazing color, and he laughed and said: "Huang Chao, I deserve all this. If you don't give it to me, I will come and get it myself.
Where is my son?"
"Is your son here?" Zhu Yougui stood up and responded.
"Has the Xuanming Sect been reorganized?" Zhu Wen asked.
The Xuanming Sect is a Jianghu sect established by Huang Chao after imitating the Ming Sect. Within the sect are: Zhu Yougui, the Underworld Emperor, Zhu Youwen, the Ghost King, Meng Po Shi Yao, Zhong Kui and Zhong Xiaokui, the Four Corpse Ancestors, the Judge of Water and Fire, the Five Lords of Hell, Black and White Wuchang, and many other evil masters.
"I would like to inform my father that I have finished reorganizing the Xuanming Sect and are ready to listen to my father's orders at any time." Zhu Yougui said in a deep voice.
"good……"
Zhu Wen'e laughed loudly, and then said to Zhu Youwen: "Is there any progress in my son's lobbying with the four guards?"
"I would like to report to my father that I have contacted the generals of the four gates, but except for Huang Kui, the guard guarding the east gate, the other three gates are unwilling to open the city gate and surrender to our army," Zhu Youwenhui reported.
"One door is enough, as long as you can enter the city."
As he spoke, Zhu Wen seemed to have discovered something and said in surprise: "The person who opened the door is Huang Kui? Isn't he Huang Chao's clan brother?"
"Even the clan brothers have taken refuge with the father, which shows that the old thief Huang Chao is unpopular. Father, you are the destiny."
As soon as Zhu Yougui said this, Zhu Wen was immediately elated and laughed and said: "My son is right, Huang Chao is just a yellow flower of yesterday. It was the destiny of the father when he was alive."
Huang Kui opened the city gate and let Zhu Wen into the city. Zhu Wen entered Linzi City without encountering any resistance. The other three defenders surrendered very wisely when they saw that the situation was over.
After Zhu Wen entered the city, he immediately sent troops to surround the Qi Prince's Mansion in Huang Chao, and then sent troops to set up a list to calm the people to stabilize the situation in Linzi City.
"Reporting to the king, Huang Chao is in the palace." Zhu Youguihui reported.
"Okay, please follow me to see the old King Qi for the last time."
After saying this, Zhu Wen led Wang Yanzhang and other subordinates, as well as many masters of Xuanming Sect, and strode into Prince Qi's palace.
"squeak……"
The door of the palace hall was slowly pushed open. Zhu Wen was the first to walk in, followed closely by the others.
Huang Chao sat on the throne and looked at everyone quietly, his eyes calm.
Zhu Wen felt a little angry when Huang Chao saw him, and said angrily: "Huang Chao, you claim to be extremely smart, but have you ever thought that there will be a day when many people will betray their relatives and leave?"
There was a hint of sadness in Huang Chao's eyes, and he did not answer Zhu Wen's words, but said: "Zhu Wen, you have disappointed me after all. Do you think you can overthrow me by uniting with the imperial court to launch a coup? You don't know this.
It is the way to death.
So what if you become the new King of Qi? But after this chaos, Qin Hao has established a firm foothold in Qingzhou, and he will definitely wipe you out in one fell swoop in the future. How long can you hold this throne?"
Zhu Wen showed disdain and sneered: "No matter how long I can sit on it, I will finally sit on it. It is ten thousand times better than never sitting on it."
Huang Chao shook his head and sighed: "If I ask you to sit, you can sit. If I don't let you sit, you can't sit up."
Zhu Wen didn't expect that he would be in this situation, and that Dynasty would be so stubborn. He immediately said with a gloomy look: "Really? What if I have to sit down?"
"You can come up and try."
"Just try it."
After saying that, Zhu Wen strode towards the throne, but he listened halfway and looked at Huang Chao with a joking face, mockingly: "Huang Chao, do you really think I'm stupid?"
