Chapter 94 Battle with Zhang Kui in Jizhou to show his power
At noon on the second day, Wen Zhong led his army to fight at the foot of Jizhou City. Su Hu knew that he could not evade, so he had to lead his army out of the city to meet the enemy.
Grand Master Wen was dressed in Taoist attire, with a nine-cloud golden crown on his head and a crimson Taoist robe. Under his seat was a black unicorn that looked like it was dyed with ink, and there were two male and female whips on its back, which made him look extraordinary.
When Su Hu saw Wen Zhong, he was secretly afraid. He bowed slightly on his horse and said what he had prepared for a long time: "Old Master, you are well. Su Hu is wearing armor and cannot perform the full ceremony. Please forgive me. I have nothing to do today."
Tao, without thinking and paying attention to the country's foundation, listening to the slanderous words and imposing tyranny, in order to shake the foundation of the eight hundred princes and disrupt the laws of the ancestors. Su Hu was originally a loyal minister, but he did it as a last resort. Why didn't the Grand Master retreat his troops and horses?
The Son of Heaven, the humble man, and the virtuous ministers, shall abolish the laws of tyranny and restore peace to the world!"
"What a traitor, how dare you speak so eloquently and confuse right and wrong in front of me!" Wen Zhong laughed angrily: "Now that I have both wisdom and courage, and unparalleled benevolence and virtue, I want to implement new policies to relieve the suffering of all people in the world. What are you doing?
For your own selfish interests, you actually disobeyed the emperor's edict and blatantly uttered treasonous and unjust words. This is really a crime that cannot be punished. Today, the heavenly troops are pressing on the territory, and you cannot surrender, but you still raise your own troops to resist the enemy, and use clever words to cover up your wrongdoing. This is really hateful!"
Su Hu was left speechless. Wen Zhong sneered and looked around: "Who will capture this traitor with me?"
One of the generals responded: "The last general is willing to capture this traitor and offer it to the Grand Master!"
This man was none other than Zhang Kui. He was wearing black gold armor and had a long sword in his hand. He rushed out of the formation on the back of a one-horned black smoke beast. Su Hu also had a flying horse to greet him: "I am Liu Kai, the general here.
General name!"
Zhang Kui patted the tumor on the head of the one-horned black smoke beast. The speed of the black smoke beast suddenly increased several times, and it was in front of Liu Kai in a blink of an eye. At the moment when it was wrong, Zhang Kui quickly swiped the knife and responded proudly.
: "Zhang Kui is the counter-vanguard of the great discussion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Kai's head suddenly fell off, and the blood stained the horse's back. It turned out that Zhang Kui had already taken Liu Kai's life in that moment. He saw that Zhang Kui had taken the life of his own general with one strike.
, the morale of the Jizhou soldiers could not help but plummet.
"Zhang Kuifu, don't be complacent. Yesterday we couldn't decide the outcome, so let's settle it today!" Seeing the low morale of the Jizhou army and horses, Su Quanzhong couldn't hold back his anger and galloped out regardless of Su Hu's obstruction.
Su Quanzhong was not an impulsive person. He was really worried about the speed of the one-horned black smoke beast. He immediately said: "Zhang Kui! You just rely on the speed of that horse. You are not a hero. Do you have the guts to fight with me on foot?"
One game!"
"Su Quanzhong, you are very calculating!" Zhang Kui laughed: "That's all, I will do what you want, general, and let you die convinced!"
After that, he jumped off the horse, patted the black smoke beast, and let it return to the formation. The black smoke beast was very spiritual and ran straight back to the hostess. Unexpectedly, Zhang Kui was so proud of Wen Zhong, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkled.
Gao Lanying whispered: "Master, don't worry, a humble man has his own way to win."
When Su Quanzhong saw Zhang Kui dismounting, he thought he was sure of victory, so he also jumped off his horse and raised his halberd to stab him. Zhang Kui calmly greeted each other with a long sword in his hand. The two were highly skilled in martial arts and the fight was inseparable for a while. The officers and soldiers of the two armies watched.
Got dazzled.
Su Quanzhong didn't expect that Zhang Kui not only had a magical horse, but was also so good at martial arts, and that he was even better than him in terms of endurance. If he continued to fight for a long time, he would definitely be defeated, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He feinted a halberd, turned around and left.
How could Zhang Kui let him go and followed him closely? When Su Quanzhong saw Zhang Kui coming, he thought he had a trick and escaped a few steps. He suddenly twisted his waist and dragged the silver-tipped halberd on the ground like a snake.
Throat to Zhang Kui.
Seeing that Zhang Kui could not escape, Su Quanzhong couldn't help but be overjoyed. Suddenly, an incredible scene happened. Zhang Kui suddenly disappeared out of thin air, leaving the inevitable shot in vain. Just when Su Quanzhong was stunned, Zhang Kui suddenly
Suddenly, someone appeared from behind him and slashed towards him with a sword.
Out of a warrior's instinct, Su Quanzhong sensed the approaching danger and subconsciously rolled on the spot to avoid being decapitated. However, he was caught up by Zhang Kui, who stepped on his chest and kicked his silver-tip halberd away. Su Quanzhong was
He broke several ribs with this foot, and with a groan, Zhang Kui lifted him up, summoned his strength, threw him towards the formation, and shouted: "Tie him up!"
After Su Quanzhong flew several meters in the air, he fell firmly to the ground. He felt the pain in his chest and was unable to resist for a moment. He was tied up by the soldiers who rushed up and was captured alive.
The two men fought very fast. Others only saw Su Quanzhong turn around and stab the air with a halberd, but was inexplicably knocked down by Zhang Kui. However, Wen Zhong could clearly see the eyes between his forehead. When Zhang Kui avoided the halberd, his whole body
They all fell to the ground, and then rose up from the ground behind Su Quanzhong and defeated him. The timing and position were just right. Wen Zhong Dayue was delighted and praised: "General Zhang is so powerful! He can actually perform miraculous magic like this.
Why worry about the injustice in Jizhou?"
When Su Hu saw that his son had been captured, he was very anxious. Zheng Lun had already rushed out on horseback: "Zhang Kuixiu, let's go! I'll meet you!"
Zheng Lunsheng has a face like a purple jujube, a beard like a golden needle, a crown of nine clouds of flames on his head, golden mail, and a red robe. The mount on his crotch is a beast with flaming eyes and golden eyes, and he holds two demon-conquering pestles in his hands. Behind him is a
A group of men and horses, arranged in the shape of the Rengui River in the north, dressed in black clothes and armor, look like a dark cloud, and are called "crow soldiers".
Zhang Kui had already ridden on the one-horned black smoke beast that was walking on its own. When he saw Zheng Lun's strange attire, he suddenly felt eager to win. Without returning to the formation, he waved his sword and asked, "Come and give me your name!"
Zheng Lun shouted: "Zheng Lun, the general in charge of grain in Jizhou, you captured the son of my general and you are committing violence. You can quickly sacrifice the young general, dismount and be bound. If you say half a word, you will be made a fan!"
Zhang Kui heard this arrogant words and said angrily: "What a good man! Su Hu violated the laws of nature for his own selfish interests and was in danger of annihilating his family. You are all traitors and rebels against the party. You, a little grain inspector, are so arrogant!"
Zhang Kui urged the black smoke beast to sit down and go straight to Zheng Lun. Zheng Lun knew that his mount was very fast, and he had already thought about it: as the saying goes, "the only way to hit someone is to strike first." Although the golden eye beast is extraordinary, it is not as fast as this Kui horse.
, and this person possesses special powers, and I’m afraid he may have other miraculous skills. If you don’t strike first, you will end up being poisoned by him.”
Zheng Lun once worshiped the master Du'e of Xikunlun as his disciple, and he was able to pass on two qi from the orifice to absorb people's souls. Whenever he encountered an enemy, he could use strange magic to capture them. Zheng Lun waved his pestle in the air, and behind him were three thousand crow soldiers.
With a shout, he moved like a long snake. Everyone held a scratching hook in their hand and dragged the copper rope horizontally, as if they were trying to catch someone, and they rushed over quickly.
Zhang Kui thought that he was going to win with more, so he quickly stopped the black smoke beast. As soon as he stopped, he saw a sound like a bell from Zheng Lun's nose, and two white lights spurted out. Zhang Kui suddenly heard it.
The sound made his eyes dim, his mind went blank, and he immediately fell off his horse. The crow soldiers took the opportunity to grab Zhang Kui with a scratching hook and a copper lock, tied him up with five flowers, and captured him alive.
Zhang Kui woke up after a long while and found that he had been captured. He was not frightened and said coldly: "Interesting! I didn't expect there to be such a strange person in Jizhou. I didn't notice it for a moment and was captured by you. It's all because of your ability."
"You are already a prisoner of the rank, and you still dare to talk so shamelessly!" Zheng Lun looked proud, and ordered the crow soldiers to guard Zhang Kui, and shouted to the Shang army: "Shang army, listen carefully! Now your vanguard has been captured by me.
, release our Major General Su Quanzhong as soon as possible, and replace the generals with horses, so that the lives of both parties will be safe!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a commotion among the crow soldiers, and Zhang Kui, who was a prisoner just now, was nowhere to be seen. Zheng Lun said angrily: "Just now I ordered you to carefully guard the prisoners, how come in the blink of an eye, they are nowhere to be seen?"
The soldier replied tremblingly: "Reporting to the general, it is not a villain's negligence. Just now... this person twisted his body and disappeared without a trace."
Zheng Lun wanted to ask again, but Zhang Kui's voice from the opposite formation came from far away: "Zheng Lun, don't be arrogant. There are so many Taoist techniques in the world, and you are not the only one who specializes in them!"
Zheng Lun took a closer look and saw Zhang Kui riding the one-horned black smoke beast again in front of the Shang army. Seeing that the vanguard officer was not captured by the opponent and returned safely, the officers and soldiers of the Shang Dynasty burst into cheers. Su Hu was shocked and said: "
There is such a strange magic in the world! How should our army win?"
"General Zhang's exquisite ground skills are really a blessing to our army," Wen Zhong praised Zhang Kui's magical powers. "General fought two formations in a row and succeeded in capturing the enemy. He retreated first and took a short rest."
Zhang Kui returned to the formation as ordered and met up with his wife Gao Lanying. Hearing that the Grand Master was riding Mo Qilin, he took off his male and female whips from behind, pointed at Zheng Lun from afar, without saying much, shouted, "The traitor will be beaten," and whipped the whips
Flying in the air. The male and female whips were originally made from two dragons, divided into two qi according to yin and yang. They were given by Master Wen Zhong from the Golden Spirit Mother. Wen Zhong has been refining the double whips for many years and is extremely proficient. He even incorporated some martial arts into magic weapons.
When used, the power doubled. The two whips were in the air, rising and falling, but they were knocked down. They hit Zheng Lun on the shoulder and arm, causing him to overturn his saddle and fall off his horse. He was rescued by crow soldiers and returned to the formation.
Wen Zhong did not chase, and flew with his double whips in the air. Under the action of the fierce energy of the male and female whips, the ground where the Jizhou Army was standing appeared with a mark several meters deep.
They retreated again. Wen Zhong's voice came from far away: "I will not use my double whip to hit those who have no Taoist skills today, but will only give a slight punishment. The emperor has favored all directions, implemented new policies, and is determined to relieve the suffering of all people. Su Hu of Jizhou openly acted for his own selfish desires.
Conspiracy and daring to fight against the heavenly soldiers is an unforgivable crime. The emperor has an order. If the soldiers and people of Jizhou understand the righteousness and surrender, there will be no investigation and only the culprit, Su Hu, will be held responsible!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they were even more powerful than those two whips. Jizhou's army and horses suddenly became commotion. Su Hu originally wanted to charge and kill Su Quanzhong and take advantage of the chaos to rescue Su Quanzhong. However, after hearing the Taishi's display of power, he was afraid that the soldiers' minds would change and they did not dare to fight.
, hurriedly led the army back to the city. Wen Zhong did not attack the city by force, returned to the main formation, and ordered the sergeants to strip Su Quanzhong of his armor, put him in torture shackles, and put him in a prison car.
Zhang Kui, who was well versed in the art of war, praised: "I have heard about the power of the Grand Master's double whip for a long time, and today I saw it with my own eyes. It is indeed well-deserved, and the general admires it. Those few words are more direct to the point. I believe that Jizhou's army will be shattered and unable to fight anymore."
Gao Lanying deeply agreed, and added: "Not only will the morale of the army be shattered, but the morale of the people will also be disorganized. The Grand Master can send people to spread rumors throughout the city, saying that the emperor only intends to punish the first culprits. I believe that there will be riots in the city soon, and there will even be mobilizations between the army and the people."
Present the city and Jizhou will be at your fingertips."
"The Xian couple are indeed the generals appointed by His Majesty. They are really knowledgeable, so they followed General Gao's advice," Grand Master Wen Xuxu said with a smile: "Actually, Your Majesty prepared earlier than I did. Before our army set off, Xin
The purpose and benefits of this new policy were published in the first issue of "Dashang Quarterly". At this time, everyone in the world knew that the emperor's righteousness in reforming for the people, and it was shameful for the world to rebel against the princes. I believe that the people in Jizhou have already begun to drift.
, rapids and undercurrents. If we forcefully attack the city, it will not only increase casualties, but also arouse the resentment of the army and the people. For now, our army only needs to encircle it without attacking, and wait for them to become chaotic."
Zhang Kui and other generals all praised him for his good deeds. Upon hearing this, Zhong immediately ordered a hundred thousand troops to surround the city of Jizhou.
When the news of the siege of the city came, Su Hu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and could not sleep or eat well. Zheng Lun was whipped by Grand Master Wen and suffered severe fractures and fractures. After being rescued by military doctors, although his life was not in danger, Zheng Lun was not injured.
There is no strength to fight again. Yesterday's robbery of the camp had lost troops, and today's confrontation was defeated again. As a result, Zhao Bing and Liu Kai were killed, Su Quanzhong was captured, Zheng Lun was seriously injured, and morale dropped sharply. In addition, Wen Zhong's last inciting words
, which made the people in Jizhou City panic, and rumors spread everywhere, saying that "the emperor governs the world benevolently, and Suhou is unjust and rebellious." If it were not for years of accumulated power to control the situation, riots would have broken out.
"Father, don't get hurt on official business, and use some wine and food. These are all done by the child's own hands." A charming voice sounded in his ears. Normally, Su Hu would definitely praise his daughter, but
Now that a disaster is approaching, where can he still eat?
Su Hu didn't want to disobey his daughter Daji's filial piety, so he reluctantly took a sip of wine. Another middle-aged beautiful woman came to the door and cried: "Master, Quanzhong's child unfortunately fell into the hands of the enemy... Please try your best to rescue us.
I have this man at my knees..."
When Su Quanzhong was mentioned, Su Hu felt depressed. Hearing the woman cry, he became even more irritable. He threw the wine glass and smashed it into pieces. He said angrily: "Young women don't know anything about military affairs! This rebellious son doesn't listen to his father.
Yan, you deserve to be captured by relying on your own abilities and underestimating the enemy! Now that the army is besieging Jizhou and Jizhou is in danger, you are still so nagging! If the city is destroyed, not only will this treacherous son not be able to survive, but my whole Su family will also be destroyed!"
Su Daji knew that her father was troubled and did not dare to disturb him. With tears in her eyes, she obediently helped her mother leave.
The more Su Hu thought about it, the more depressed he became. He picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth, cursing vaguely: "It's all these traitors who have harmed me... They talk about being in the same boat, but now that the disaster is approaching, there is no sound...
