General Luo of Huaidong sent Lieutenant Sun Ding to lead an army of 5,000 troops to aid Sikou. Sun Ding's army arrived, but Sikou had fallen. The main force of Yong's army had not yet arrived. Ding launched an army to attack it, but to no avail, Yong's army had arrived, and Sikou became Yong's army.
After the capture, Sun Ding was besieged and all his soldiers begged to surrender. Sun Ding was unable to stop him, so Yong's army captured him.
——"Zi Zhi Tong Jian·Yong Ji San"
In the Chuzhou Camp, Luo Louzhen sat in the tent with a frown. It took him a whole morning to barely complete the preparations for the Chuzhou Camp. This made him even more worried. How to face the enemy in such a situation? If there is
You can be ready in three to five days, but you don’t know when Yong’s army will arrive. It’s best that Shang Xiang and General Lu are worried about nothing. But if you think about it carefully, Huaidong is an important area. If Yong’s army attacks Huainan,
Either take Shouchun in the west of Huaihe, or Yangzhou in the east of Huaibei. If you want to take Yangzhou, Chuzhou, Sizhou, and Guangling, the Yong army must seize the land. If the Yong army intends to take Huaidong, you will definitely bear the brunt.
Luo Louzhen glanced at Huang Canjun and asked impatiently: "How is it? Have the messengers sent to Sizhou and Guangling come back?"
Huang Canjun looked uneasy and said: "I haven't come back yet, but the distance between the two places is quite far. Every time I come back, I won't be able to come back until night."
Luo Louzhen said angrily: "They are all rubbish. General Lu's messenger can rush from Jiangxia to Chuzhou in a few days. Sizhou and Guangling, which are so close to each other, will also take that much time. And Sun Ding, too."
, I asked him to go to Sikou to take over the defense, but why didn't he send a messenger back to report the situation for so long?"
Seeing his anger, Huang Shenjun said nervously: "Maybe it's because of the busy military affairs. There will be news in the afternoon."
Luo Louzhen felt a little relieved and said: "Send the order and tell Vice General Zhou and other generals not to slack off. If Chuzhou suffers a loss, my life will not be saved, and you will not be able to live well."
Huang Shenjun shuddered and said: "General, would you like to inform the Chuzhou County Governor that there are still five thousand defenders there. Although their combat power is not strong, it is good to be prepared."
Luo Louzhen frowned. He didn't get along with the Chuzhou County Sheriff. It was just because the County Sheriff was a descendant of the Southern Chu family. He had a relatively young foundation, so he didn't want to offend him. But at this moment, he also knew the truth about the coldness of lips and teeth. He established his own foundation in the southwest of Chuzhou.
Camp, if the Yong army comes to attack and he cannot defend the camp, he will have no choice but to retreat to Chuzhou to defend the city. If he does not take the opportunity to say hello now, he may not even have a way out. After thinking for a moment, he smiled coldly and said
"Send someone to inform Gu Yuanyong and tell him to close the city immediately to wait for the enemy." Huang Shenjun quickly agreed. The main reason for the discord between Luo Louzhen and Gu Yuanyong was because of the presence of the sergeants from the Chuzhou camp.
Chuzhou was acting recklessly, and Luo Louzhen was not very restrained. However, because Luo Louzhen had such a big background, Gu Yuanyong had no choice but to find a way to please him. Although Luo Louzhen was not very grateful, Huang Shenjun and others
He also benefited a lot and naturally had a good impression of Gu Yuanyong, so Huang Canjun found a way to inform Chuzhou of the military situation in time.
Huang Shenjun had just left when his personal guards came in and reported: "General Qi, Lieutenant Sun's personal guards are back."
Luo Louzhen said happily: "Let him come in quickly."
Not long after, two sergeants walked in. Luo Lou really recognized the man in front of him. He was Sun Fang, a member of Sun Ding's clan. He was now the leader of Sun Ding's personal soldiers. However, the man in the back was a little trembling.
He dared to raise his head, obviously because of fear in his heart. Luo Louzhen only said that the man was also a soldier of Sun Ding, so he ignored him and asked Sun Fang, "Colonel Sun has arrived at Sikou. How is the situation? Is there any movement from Yong's army?"
Sun Fang looked a little nervous and said: "General, the Colonel has asked me to report back. There is no movement from Yong's army yet, but the Colonel has sent scouts up the river to inquire about the military situation. If there is any news, he will definitely report it to the camp.
.”
Luo Louzhen felt relieved. He looked at the person beside Sun Fang and said, "Who is this person? Why did you bring him into the tent?"
Sun Fang said with some panic: "He is one of the top experts in our camp. The captain was worried that Yong Jun scouts had sneaked into Huaisi, so he ordered him to come with his subordinates."
Luo Louzhen smiled and said: "It should be so. Captain Sun is really attentive. What's your name? Since Sun Ding said that your kung fu is good, you must be one of the best warriors in a thousand. How can you be so timid like a girl? Come here."
, reward him with a bottle of wine, don't be so nervous, this general is not a murderer."
Hearing this, the sergeant seemed to feel relieved and his body relaxed a lot. He raised his head, took the wine cup with both hands, stepped forward and said, "Thank you, General, for the wine." He drank it all in one gulp.
Luo Louzhen looked carefully and saw that the sergeant looked twenty-eight or nine years old. His face was sharp and angular, handsome and heroic, his expression was calm and indifferent, his upright figure was as straight as a poplar, and his eyes were open and closed with cold light and lightning.
Luo Lou was really shocked. Even General Lu Can had such a magnanimity. If he had seen this person before, how could he not have any impression? He stood up and said loudly: "You are definitely not from Chuzhou."
Soldiers of the camp, who are you?" Following his shout, his soldiers swarmed in from outside the tent and protected Luo Louzhen among them.
Luo Lou really wanted to let people capture Sun Fang and the sergeant. At this moment, there was a noise outside the tent, and the sound became louder and louder. A bloody scout stumbled in, threw himself to the ground, and shouted hoarsely: "
General, it's bad, the Yong army has captured Sikou, and the vanguard has already come towards the camp." Luo Louzhen raised his head, with a look of despair on his face, looking at Sun Fang and the sergeant fiercely, and said angrily:
"You two must be spies of the Yong Army. Come here, kill them."
Sun Fang was already frightened out of his mind, but the sergeant's expression remained unchanged. He smiled faintly and said, "General Luo, I have Pei Yun, the military governor of Huainan, here to pay my respects to the general." Everyone in the tent felt a loud bang in their ears.
How could it be possible that General Yong Jun, Pei Yun, who controlled the 150,000 troops of the Xuzhou Camp, would appear here? Even Sun Fang, who came in with Pei Yun, was fighting with his teeth. After he was captured and surrendered, he was ordered to take this person in.
Chuzhou Camp, he always thought that this man was a master of the White Camp, but how did he know that he was actually Pei Yun himself? After all, Pei Yun was already thirty-five or sixteen years old. How could he expect that he looked so young? No wonder no one could think of it.
The identity of this sergeant. At this moment, the life experience of Pei Yun emerged in everyone's mind. He was a Shaolin disciple with profound martial arts. He had heard that Buddhist mental methods had the benefits of cultivating one's moral character. Now it seems that it is indeed true.
Just when everyone's hearts were shaking, Pei Yun swayed and rushed towards Luo Louzhen. Luo Louzhen also had evil thoughts in his heart. If he were to capture this person alive, Yong's army might be in chaos. By then, Huaidong would be safe.
His contribution is not small. He said sternly: "Don't shoot arrows. Capture this man for me." He didn't allow his subordinates to shoot arrows because he was worried that if he killed Pei Yun, he would anger Yong's army and wreak havoc all over Huaidong.
His guilt is still not small, and he may even ruin his direct army.
Just before he finished speaking, there was a loud roar in the tent, and a dozen personal guards who rushed forward rolled to the ground. Pei Yun's hands had a faint golden light, and his invincible Vajra power was already perfect. With one palm strike, he could
There is no life or death. In the blink of an eye, he has broken through the obstruction of his guards and arrived in front of Luo Louzhen. Luo Louzhen drew his sword and stabbed him. The sword made a loud sound of wind and thunder. An ordinary person would have to dodge first, but Pei Yun waved his palm.
Welcome, the swords and palms met, but there was a sound of gold and stone. Luo Louzhen was shocked by the force of his palm and took a step back. At this time, Pei Yun struck with another palm. The force of this palm was like a mountain pressing down on the top. Luo Louzhen was hit again.
He was forced to take a step back. The wind in his palm was surging, and the strong wind was roaring inside the big tent. Pei Yun just slowly and calmly pushed towards Luo Louzhen step by step. A set of ordinary Shaolin boxing in his hands was powerful. Those relatives
Wei couldn't even intervene, let alone besiege Pei Yun. Luo Louzhen's swordsmanship was originally quite outstanding, but he indulged in drinking and sex, and his internal strength was greatly affected. Seeing Pei Yun approaching step by step, he
But he couldn't even fight back with a sword. He wanted to shout loudly to his guards to fire arrows, but he was worried that he would be implicated, and he didn't have the strength to speak out. At this moment, although there were 30,000 troops in the Chuzhou camp, Luo Louzhen felt that he
Just alone.
"Bang", Luo Louzhen's back hit the back wall of the tent. At this time, a battalion of sergeants had already rushed to the door of the tent. Huang Canjun said sternly: "Shoot him to death, don't hurt the general."
Luo Lou was really overjoyed, with a ferocious smile on his face. As long as he resisted a few more attacks, he could turn defeat into victory. He didn't believe that flesh and blood could withstand the arrows. All he had to do was take advantage of Pei Yun's arrow and pierce it.
Just escape from the camp, and Huang Canjun must have arranged for a response later. At this moment, Luo Louzhen saw a trace of ridicule on Pei Yun's indifferent face, and his heart was electrified. Luo Louzhen suddenly swung his sword to strike at Pei Yun,
He used all his strength with this sword, and the sword energy was as devastating as a sword. A glimmer of appreciation flashed in Pei Yun's eyes. He drew his sword out of its sheath and struck forward. The swords struck each other, the swords screamed and the swords screamed.
He accidentally hit the wall of the tent again. At this moment, a long knife broke through the wall and penetrated Luo Louzhen's body. Blood spattered. Luo Louzhen let out an earth-shattering scream. Pei Yun had already
With one slash of the sword, Luo Louzhen's head flew up.
Huang Canjun's voice was filled with tears, and he shouted: "Fire the arrow immediately."
The sergeants were already frightened when they saw the tragic death of their general. As soon as they heard Huang Canjun's order, they subconsciously drew their bows and fired arrows. However, their minds were confused and the first round of arrows had no power.
Fang was still attacked by Chi Yu and died of several arrows in his body. Pei Yun kicked Luo Louzhen's body away, took his head and swung it away with a knife. The tent was divided in the middle, and a man holding a long knife was revealed in the gap.
The Nanchu sergeant in front of him, the ground was full of corpses, was the relief sergeant arranged by Huang Shenjun. Pei Yun broke out of the tent, and the second round of arrows followed him. But the sergeant's sword turned into a rainbow, and all the arrows were thrown away.
By the time the third round of arrows was fired, Pei Yun and the sergeant had already rushed out more than ten feet and entered the Nanchu military camp. From the camp, the two men shouted loudly: "Luo Lou is really here."
Death, Luo Lou is really dead."
The camp was in chaos, with countless people running in panic and screaming, and there were also shouts and scolds from the generals who were trying their best to restrain their subordinates. At this moment, horns sounded from all directions, drums sounded, and there were high-ranking soldiers from the Southern Chu Army.
He shouted: "No, Yong's army is coming." There was the sound of thousands of troops galloping beside him, and the vibration on the ground showed that it was a cavalry coming. Huang Canjun looked back and saw only the camp gate.
The iron cavalry of the Yong Army wearing green and black armor poured into the Chuzhou camp like a tide. The chaotic Nanchu soldiers were trampled by the iron hoofs of the Yong Army. Their bones turned to mud. The hands of those Yong Army soldiers were three feet and two inches long, requiring both hands.
The Xiuchun knife they held could cut a person into two pieces with one strike. They rushed left and right in the camp and were invincible.
How to resist such an army? This thought came to the minds of almost all Nanchu soldiers. Some people began to risk their lives and escape from other camp gates. Some people hid in the tents at a loss and waited for the end. Of course, some people shouted hoarsely.
Organizing a counterattack, Huang Canjun was one of them. He had discovered that the Yong army that came was actually not large in number, probably only a few thousand people, so he began to order the sergeants to counterattack. Lieutenant General Li, who was supposed to be responsible for this responsibility,
As early as the moment he saw Yong's army entering the camp, he had already fled from behind with more than a hundred personal guards.
The resistance of the Southern Chu Army began to have an effect. After all, the 30,000-strong army was not so easy to collapse. In any case, the Huaidong Army was originally an elite division. Although it had been devastated by Luo Louzhen over the years, it was at the critical moment of life and death.
, it is still possible to fight. The Yong army's offensive began to be curbed and they could no longer attack freely.
At this moment, Pei Yun, who had been missing in the rebellion, appeared. After a while, he had changed his clothes and was wearing black clothes and black armor. The black cloak behind him was rustling in the autumn wind, and he followed behind him.
There are more than ten personal guards, all of whom are wearing ordinary blue and black armor, but they are all covered with white cloaks, and there are no signs of identity on the armor. This is the symbol of Pei Yun's White Clothes Battalion. One of them is
It was Du Lingfeng who secretly captured Sikou. These people were walking and riding in the chaos of the army, heading towards the Chinese army's tent.
Huang Shenjun was directing the Chu army to counterattack in front of the camp. Although he was a civil servant and was usually very timid, he had some military talent after all. As long as the leaderless Chu army had a leader, they could barely fight against the Yong army, which was far outnumbered by them.
. He was shocked when he saw Pei Yun and his personal guards walking slowly among the rebellious army. If he allowed this person to kill here, he would never have a chance to hold the camp again. He repeatedly ordered to stop Pei Yun and the others.
However, the force of the people around Pei Yun was very strong. Without Pei Yun's action, they had cut a bloody path with swords and spears. In front of them, the Nanchu army began to collapse and began to flee. Huang Canjun could not let them continue.
Take orders.
Pei Yun just walked to the Chinese army's tent. He did not look at Huang Canjun, who was pale and protected by a sergeant. He raised his head and looked at the flying banner in front of the Chinese army's tent. His expression was unusually indifferent, and he walked towards the banner.
Go. The sergeants responsible for guarding the handsome flag risked their lives to resist, but under the swords of the white battalion beside Pei Yun, their resistance became an insignificant struggle. When they walked under the banner, Pei Yun gave a sharp shout and slashed with his sword.
, a brilliant light flashed, and the flagpole of the Great Banner was broken from it. When the Nanchu army in the camp saw the handsome flag falling to the ground, their remaining fighting spirit finally completely collapsed. Some of the bold ones escaped from the camp, and some simply lost it.
He grabbed his sword and gun, knelt down on the ground, and completely gave up resistance. The flags of the Chuzhou camp fell down and were in a mess. Apart from those who escaped and died in the battle, half of the 30,000 sergeants were still captured. Looking at the collapsed camp, Huang Shenjun
He was stunned for a long time, and for a long time he pulled out his sword and wanted to wipe it on his neck, but his hands and feet were trembling and he did not dare to do it. Before he could muster the courage, a guard beside Pei Yun had already rode over and hit him with the back of his sword.
He carried him on his back and knocked him unconscious to the ground. At this point, the overall situation of the Chuzhou camp was decided.
Looking at the Nanchu sergeant who abandoned his weapons and surrendered under the coercion of Yong's army, Du Lingfeng laughed loudly and said: "Uncle, why are the Nanchu troops so sparse? If their combat power is like this, I'm afraid we can destroy them in less than half a year."
It fell to Nanchu."
Pei Yun glanced at him lightly and said: "Luo Lou is really stupid and incompetent. He only knows how to win over his generals with money and beauty, but does not know how to organize an army. The Huaidong Army of Southern Chu is not strong in combat. If you see Lu
The army under Can's command knows that there are heroes in Southern Chu. If you underestimate the enemy like this, I will not dare to let you be the vanguard again."
Du Lingfeng stuck out his tongue and said: "Yes, I know my mistakes and will never underestimate the enemy. General, don't leave me behind."
Pei Yun smiled faintly, ignored him, and said to another white-clothed battalion warrior, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance: "Wei Ping, please stay here with 500 people to guard the prisoners. I will raid Chuzhou immediately."
Wei Ping said worriedly: "General, you are the leader of an army. You should not be the first to go into the camp and kill Luo Lou alone. It can be said that the general's martial arts are better than those of us. But the raid on Chuzhou is of great importance. General, please think twice."
, if there is anything wrong with the general, how can we explain it to the officers and soldiers of the three armies?"
Pei Yun said with a smile: "Don't worry, after taking Chuzhou, I don't think there is a chance to put myself in danger. Zhang Wenxiu will lead the army to attack Sizhou, and we can attack it overnight, and then attack Guangling together. When Yangzhou is captured, we will fight with Lu
Can fight, then I will have no chance to take action."
Du Lingfeng heard this and asked: "Uncle Master, will Lu Can definitely come to rescue Huaidong?"
Pei Yun nodded and said: "If Yangzhou falls into my hands, our army can march across Guazhou and threaten Jingkou on the other side. If we don't take Jingkou and go up the river to Yanziji, we can threaten Jianye. So Lu Can is
We must not be allowed to show off our power in Huaidong. Although Shang Weijun is in power, he will let go at critical moments. Although it will delay some time, we must first clear out the remnants of the Southern Chu army. No matter how fast we want to attack Yangzhou
, it will take a month, and by then Lu Can will be ready in the Yangtze River."
Du Lingfeng said: "In that case, what if we rush to Yangzhou non-stop so that Lu Can doesn't have time to come over?"
Pei Yun smiled faintly and said: "This battle is inevitable and there is no possibility of evasion. Don't ask any more questions." Du Lingfeng looked confused, but he did not dare to ask any more questions.
At this time, Wei Ping said: "General, there are more than 10,000 prisoners here. Where does our army have the spare capacity to guard them? General, please tell me how to deal with them?"
Pei Yundao said: "It is ominous to kill prisoners, not to mention that these Southern Chu troops have lost their will and are not harmful. You can confine them in the camp. If something happens, you can escape. In another hour, He Ying will arrive and take Chuzhou."
Just leave the camp to him. You can divide 20,000 troops and go to Chuzhou to meet me." After that, Pei Yun walked outside. At this moment, the vanguard battalion who followed him to attack the Chuzhou camp was already in formation, waiting for him.
s arrival.
At the end of the day, the main infantry of the Yong Army finally arrived at the Chuzhou camp under the leadership of a middle-aged general. The scene he saw made him dumbfounded. More than 10,000 Southern Chu troops were sitting quietly in the camp, and only 500 Yong troops were patrolling back and forth.
Suppression. After seeing Wei Ping, the middle-aged general He Ying immediately ordered 30,000 troops to take over the Chuzhou camp, while Wei Ping led 20,000 infantry and cavalry towards Chuzhou.
Two hours after the fall of the Chuzhou Camp, the Sizhou Camp was stormed by 50,000 Yong troops. Since Luo Louzhen's messenger was intercepted and killed by the Baiyi Battalion on the way, the Sizhou Camp was unprepared. Finally, the guards here usually paid attention.
The military affairs were maintained until the early morning of the next day, when the Sizhou camp fell. Afterwards, Zhang Wenxiu led the army to attack Sizhou. The Sizhou county guard was too timid to fight, so Kaicheng surrendered. However, Chuzhou had changed hands last night, and now Southern Chu Huaidong
Only one part of the Guangling camp was left among the defenders. The prelude to Dayong's battle against Chu was finally officially unveiled. The famous capital of Huaizuo, the beautiful place in Zhuxi, and the windy and moonless Yangzhou Road were all covered by war clouds and beacon fire, and the iron cavalry was trampled to pieces.
