What Ximen Qing didn't know at the time was that on the same night, the puppet privy councilor Niu Wenzhong led his subordinates Piwei General An Shirong and Biaowei General Chu Heng, as well as several partial generals, selected 30,000 elite soldiers, and traveled by dark.
Song Army Camp.
Gao Qiu's 100,000-strong military camp was continuous for several miles. Niu Wenzhong asked Piwei general An Shirong to lead 8,000 elite troops to break into the left camp; Biaowei general Chu Heng also led 8,000 troops to break into the right camp;
And he waited for the remaining troops to rush straight to the central camp.
Gao Qiu's tent is in the center, guarded by 20,000 forbidden troops. On both wings are seven military and horse supervisors. The left camp is Duan Pengju, the military supervisor of Suizhou, Chen Zhu, the military supervisor of Zhengzhou, and Han Tianlin, the Tangzhou military supervisor. The right camp is Xu
The military commanders of Dengzhou were Li Ming, the military commanders of Dengzhou were Wang Yi, the military commanders of Zhenzhou were Ma Wanli, and the military commanders of Songzhou were Zhou Xin.
The generals had just had a banquet with Gao Qiu in the big tent and were waiting to fight with Niu Wenzhong's army tomorrow. They had just entered the house at this time. Who would have thought that Niu Wenzhong had already brought 30,000 people to the door to ask them to get up and pee.
The soldiers standing guard at night were quickly shot to death by archers, and 30,000 elite soldiers rushed into the camp in three groups, just like chopping melons and vegetables. They flattened many tents and chopped down how many Song soldiers.
The sound of soldiers wailing was heard, and Gao Qiucai woke up from a dream. He hurriedly got up and put on his robe. His first reaction was not to organize the imperial army to counterattack, but to order people to find Feng Mei and Bi Sheng'er to escort them in the future.
The coach is already like this, let alone the seven soldiers and horse supervisors?
Duan Pengju, the military commander of Suizhou in the left camp, was cut down by the rebels and fell into the camp. Chen Zhu, the military commander of Zhengzhou, didn't even have time to put on his armor. He hurriedly touched his sword, got on his horse and rushed out with his soldiers.
Together they met the powerful general An Shirong.
Piwei general An Shirong and his two subordinate generals Shen An and Lu Yuan led their troops to rush forward. Seeing Chen Zhu's embarrassment, the three of them stepped forward to attack together. How could Chen Zhu resist?
When he was in a hurry, there was a loud roar from the side, and Han Tianlin, the commander of the army and horses of Tangzhou, came to the rescue with his gun. Shen An and Lu Yuan raised their guns at the same time and came to fight Han Tianlin; An Shirong twisted the spear in his hand and killed Chen Zhu until Chen Zhu was sweating and couldn't get out of the conflict.
Han Tianlin also complained incessantly. After fighting with Shen An and Lu Yuan for more than ten times, he saw fire everywhere and dead bodies everywhere. He hurriedly fired a false shot, turned his horse and tried to escape. The hope of rescuing him just now was long gone.
When Zhengzhou Military and Horse Supervisor Chen Zhu Leng saw that Han Tianlin was about to run away, his men became confused. Piwei forced An Shirong to open his sword with a long spear, and stabbed it straight into his chest. There was a bloody hole. He screamed and fell off his horse. He had already been killed by the Northern Army.
Beheaded.
Shen An and Lu Yuan were chasing after them on horseback. Han Tianlin fled in front. When he heard Chen Zhu yelling, he immediately knew something was wrong and hurriedly hit the horse. Unexpectedly, the horse was tripped by the dead bodies on the ground.
Suddenly, he neighed and his front hooves softened, knocking Han Tianlin off his horse.
Han Tianlin lost his spear and was about to get up. Shen An and Lu Yuan had already caught up. The two spears stabbed down at the same time. Han Tianlin didn't even have time to pull out the steel knife in his waist, and was knocked to the ground. He saw that he could not survive.
.
Piwei general An Shirong caught up and ordered Han Tianlin to beheaded. He led his army to kill Han Tianlin in the left camp but was defeated. The Song soldiers lost their leader and fell into chaos, causing countless casualties.
Talking about the right camp, Biaowei general Chu Heng led four deputy generals Fang Shun, Qin Sheng, Mo Zhen, and Sheng Ben to charge in. The soldiers had torches in their hands and set fire to the tents. Fires broke out everywhere, and the Song soldiers howled and confused.
Like hell.
Wang Yi, the supervisor of the Dengzhou army and horses, was burned alive in the camp before he could get up. Fortunately, the remaining three soldiers and horses supervisors got the news. They each hurriedly put on their clothes, took their weapons and mounted their horses. Hundreds of people gathered there.
People rushed out.
After they were about to kill them all, the three of them saw that the right camp was in uncontrollable decay. They didn't care about the left camp and the middle camp. They gathered some remaining defeated soldiers and prepared to kill them and flee to Weizhou.
The three men led their troops to charge in one direction in the camp. Unexpectedly, they met the powerful general Chu Heng at the same time. They recognized him as the general of the Northern Army. The three men each raised their swords and guns, and they were about to fight against the powerful general Chu Heng.
Seeing the menace of the three men, General Chu Heng of Biaowei retreated with a false shot. Li Ming, Ma Wanli and Zhou Xin were overjoyed and hurriedly pursued them. Unexpectedly, General Chu Heng of Biaowei deliberately retreated, and his soldiers had already pulled up the stumbling ropes.
The soldiers and horses in Zhenzhou watched the horse Wanli fail to take precautions. The front hoof of the horse caught the snagging rope and immediately threw the horse Wanli down. The soldiers of the Northern Army had already swarmed him and chopped him into pieces.
Li Ming, the Commander-in-Chief of Soldiers and Horses in Xuzhou, and Zhou Xin, the Commander-in-Chief of Soldiers and Horses in Songzhou, were both frightened. They did not bother to pursue Chu Heng, the powerful general, and hurriedly turned their horses to rush out to a place where there were few people.
Just as Biaowei general Chu Heng's four lieutenants arrived, Fang Shun and Qin Sheng stopped Li Ming, the military commander of Xuzhou; Mo Zhen and Sheng Ben intercepted Zhou Xin, the military commander of Songzhou. It was a fierce battle.
Biaowei turned Chu Heng around and came to fight Li Ming, the military commander of Xuzhou. Li Ming was already very anxious, how could he resist?
Within ten seconds, Li Ming was stabbed under the horse by Biao Wei and Chu Heng.
Zhou Xin, the commander of the army and horses in Songzhou, complained incessantly. He stabbed his spear in his hand and turned his horse to retreat. But how could there be a way out among the rebellious army?
Mo Zhen and Sheng Ben caught up with their swords. Sheng Ben raised his sword and slashed the back of Zhou Xin's horse. The horse couldn't bear the pain. It jumped wildly and knocked Zhou Xin off the horse. He accidentally injured his master.
The letter was stamped on the head.
Chu Heng, the general of Biaowei, was overjoyed when he saw this, and led his army to kill the right camp of the Song army until ghosts cried and wolves howled. He only hated his parents for having two legs.
Feilong General Fengmei and Feihu General Bi Sheng saw the fires burning in the two camps on the left and right, and they complained incessantly. Gao Qiu was so devastated, how could he think of resisting? The two generals protected Gao Qiu, gathered more than 2,000 forbidden troops, and were about to fight out.
What about a hundred thousand troops, what about Niu Wenzhong, what about building a state capital, they were completely forgotten.
While they were charging, a group of men and horses rushed in front of them. It was Niu Wenzhong who led hundreds of cavalry in the middle camp to kill Gao Qiu, the marshal of the Song Army. Under the fire, Niu Wenzhong saw two generals protecting the trembling soldiers.
When one person rushed to kill him, he knew it was Gao Qiu. With a finger of the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand, hundreds of cavalry rushed over.
Most of the two thousand imperial troops were infantry. When they were frightened, some of them did not even have weapons. When they saw the cavalry charging towards them, their legs were weak. How could they withstand it?
Niu Wenzhong led his cavalry to the middle. Bi Sheng, the flying tiger general, roared, raised his horse and drew his gun, and came to fight Niu Wenzhong.
Niu Wenzhong sneered, and the three-pointed and two-edged sword in his hand flew up and down. His moves were exquisite, but Bi Sheng was able to kill Bi Sheng after more than twenty rounds, and he could only parry, and had no power to fight back.
As a flying tiger general in front of the imperial army, Bi Sheng always thought highly of himself and never took Tian Hu's generals seriously. Unexpectedly, as soon as he fought with Niu Wenzhong, he suddenly felt that he was not strong enough, but his immediate boss Gao Qiu was behind him.
Looking at it, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and resist.
Unexpectedly, when Feilong General Feng Mei saw that Bi Sheng could not defeat Niu Wenzhong, he did not want to step forward to rescue him. Instead, he shouted: "Brother resisted the enemy general, and my brother protected the palace commander and retreated first!"
As soon as these words came out, Bi Sheng was so depressed that he almost vomited blood; Feng Mei pulled Gao Qiu and led the imperial army to bypass Niu Wenzhong and tried his best to kill him, but Bi Sheng was left behind alone.
Bi Sheng saw that it was not the boss, so he shot the horse in vain and left.
Niu Wenzhong saw this and sneered: "Even people like you dare to attack the King of Jin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand tightened, and Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng rushed left and right, but could not escape.
Before he could reach ten, Bi Sheng was in a hurry, and Niu Wenzhong flew away with his spear. With his hands empty, he had to pull out the steel knife from his waist. Niu Wenzhong raised the knife and slashed it diagonally, almost splitting Bi Sheng in half from shoulder to waist.
!
Feilong General Fengmei protected Gao Qiu and fought his way out of the camp. There were less than a thousand forbidden troops around him, so he had no choice but to look at the stars in the sky and fight eastward.
After finally fighting until the east turned white, there were only 800 soldiers of the imperial army left. When Fengmei saw a forest in front of him, he ordered the soldiers to go in and hide.
Gao Qiu was still in shock. He held on to Feng Mei's shirt and refused to let go. A soldier offered some water. After Feng Mei comforted him, Gao Qiu drank some water and finally came back to his senses.
Recalling how powerful and majestic the hundred thousand soldiers and horses were when they were in Huixian, now they were attacked by Niu Wenzhong at night, leaving only 800 forbidden troops. Gao Qiu himself almost lost his life, so he couldn't help but feel sad and shouted loudly.
cry.
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Why should the marshal be so sad?" Feng Mei advised: "It is better to go back to Bianliang, Tokyo, to report to the Holy One, and then allocate elite troops to attack."
Gao Qiu wiped his tears and fell down on a piece of bluestone: "I never imagined that the enemy army was so fierce. Tens of thousands of troops were destroyed overnight. I don't know whether General Bi is alive or dead. I'm afraid the eight soldiers and horse guards will not survive this time."
Why is the expedition so unsatisfactory! Without the general, I would have been a dead man!"
Feng Mei naturally knew in her heart that Bi Sheng didn't know whether he was alive or dead at the moment, but that he was very likely to be dead and could not die anymore. She tried her best to protect Gao Qiu from coming out. From now on, she would naturally be different in the eyes of her boss, but she felt inexplicable in her heart.
Somewhat happy.
"Sir, the enemy is currently strong in Gaizhou. It is better to return to Weizhou as soon as possible without delay." Feng Mei said with a cupped hand: "We cannot stay here for a long time. If Niu Wenzhong sends troops to pursue us, these 800 forbidden troops will not be able to resist."
Gao Qiu suddenly remembered that Ximen Qing was still stationed in Lingchuan County, so he discussed with Feng Mei to go to Lingchuan County to meet Ximen Qing first.
"Master Supervisor is in Lingchuan County, which is a good place to go, but Gaoping County is sixty miles away, and the bandits will attack at any time." Feng Mei rolled her eyes and gently pushed Gao Qiu in another direction: "
Even if the rebels in Gaoping County don't understand, Lingchuan County is the gateway to Weizhou. After Niu Wenzhong attacks Gaizhou Prefecture, he will inevitably return to attack Lingchuan County. How can the supervisory army resist?"
Feng Mei's words reminded Gao Qiu that Ximen Qing's persistence in Lingchuan County was not the result of Gao Qiu himself. If he fled to Lingchuan County in embarrassment this time, he would definitely be severely punished by Ximen Qing.
of ridicule.
"Let's go back to Weizhou!" Gao Qiu immediately came to the conclusion that these 100,000 troops were defeated here, and Gaizhou was already in Niu Wenzhong's hands.
Ximen Qing's more than 10,000 troops were stationed in Lingchuan County, which was not enough for Niu Wenzhong. Maybe his defeat would be a good opportunity to get rid of Ximen Qing.
"Send a message to the Ximen Supervisory Army, saying that I am going to Weizhou to reorganize the troops." Gao Qiu ordered: "Let him stay in Lingchuan County and wait for reinforcements, and do not move rashly!"
Two Forbidden Army soldiers acted as messengers, while Feilong General Feng Mei protected Gao Qiu and led the remaining 800 Forbidden Army soldiers to retreat towards Weizhou.
