The silvery white moonlight shrouded the gloomy woods, the rumbling sound of horse hooves resounded in the jungle, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. A cavalry unit swarmed towards Zhao Wei's main camp, slashing and shouting: "Fengzhou Mu Master's order,
The Brazilian army killed the rebels and killed them."
Among the torches, Zhao Jun finally saw clearly the flag of the incoming army and wrote a big word "Pang" on it.
"It's Pang Xi, the governor of Brazil, who has arrived." Someone shouted. I couldn't tell the number of people in the dark night. I could only feel that the cavalry was charging very hard. Zhao Wei's main camp was in chaos. The soldiers in the camp hurried out. Before they could find the general, they were killed by the cavalry.
They rushed away, slapping their chests with spears, and howling miserably.
Zhao Wei and Li Yi hurriedly came out of the camp. Zhao Wei was furious and said bitterly: "Young man Pang Xi, you accepted my heavy gift, but you sent troops to attack me. When I take over Chengdu, I must make him look good."
Li Yi frowned and said to Zhao Wei: "My lord, Pang Xi has many soldiers and horses under his command. If he sends his troops to aid Liu Zhang, it will be a great threat. Now that our military camp has been scattered, we should retreat to the east city quickly, where Pang Le's army is.
As long as the morale of the army is stabilized, even if Pang Xi relies on Liu Zhang, our military strength will still be superior."
"Yes, that's right." After hearing what Li Yi said, Zhao Wei immediately came to his senses, gathered his soldiers and fled to the east city. He met Deng Xian halfway. Zhao Wei was overjoyed when he saw it and said to Deng Xian: "General Deng, Pang Xi is attacking
I, you quickly lead your troops to block Pang Xi's cavalry and stand behind me."
Deng Xian sneered and drew out his saber, saying loudly: "Zhao Wei, your betrayal of the lord is unforgivable. I, Deng Xian, will kill the thief today."
As he said that he would lead his troops to kill the general, all the blood-covered soldiers under his command became more energetic and energetic, shouting to kill Zhao Wei's troops. Zhao Wei was shocked, reined in his horse and rushed out to the side, slashing fiercely for a while.
Most of them were killed in the battle by Deng Xian. Zhao Wei escaped with only a few dozen soldiers, and Deng Xian hotly pursued him.
The sound of horse hoofbeats sounded from behind and the earth trembled. Deng Xian looked through the moonlight and finally recognized the coming general. It turned out to be Zhang Ren's general Lei Tong.
The two had been colleagues for many years and were familiar with each other. Lei Tong led the cavalry to fight. He saw that there was fighting in front of him, and he did not distinguish between friend and foe. At this time, he saw Deng Xian coming towards him. They were all overjoyed to see each other. They told each other the whole story. Only then did Deng Xian learn about Lei.
Tong was ordered by his lord Liu Zhang to lead all Chengdu's cavalry, a total of four thousand, wandering outside Fucheng in order to deliver a fatal blow to Zhao Wei at night.
Zhang Song mingled with Deng Xian's army and heard what Lei Tong said, and he knew that Liu Zhang had been prepared. Lei Tong led so many cavalry into Zhao Wei's army late at night, and under the banner of Brazilian prefect Pang Xi, it would inevitably cause chaos in Zhao Wei's army. From this point of view, Zhao Wei's army would be in chaos.
, Deng Xian failed to kill Zhao Wei, so this false surrender strategy seemed redundant.
The two armies converged, and Deng Xian's infantry moved out of the way. Lei Tong led the cavalry and continued to pursue Zhao Wei. Along the way, the Zhao army resisted desperately, but they were all broken through by the cavalry. Zhao Wei led dozens of soldiers, and the whole journey was turbulent.
Running away, in the end not knowing the direction.
The rebels in the remaining three cities heard that the main camp had been broken and came to help one after another. Lei Tong led the cavalry in a rampage in the dark night. Zhao Jun suffered heavy losses. Tens of thousands of Zhao troops were charged by 4,000 cavalry. Chaos broke out. Lei Tong bit Zhao.
Wei refused to let go, and after breaking through dozens of waves of Zhao troops, he finally forced Zhao Wei into a river valley.
"I am going to die." Zhao Wei looked up to the sky and sighed. Seeing that the cavalry was about to charge, Zhao Wei was afraid of turning into a puddle of flesh under the horses' hooves and wanted to draw his sword and kill himself. Fortunately, Li Yi and the soldiers tried their best to stop him. At this moment,
Another cavalry force came all the way, and the leading general shouted: "Don't worry, my lord, Pang Le is here."
Pang Le led Zhao Jun's 3,000 cavalry to attack and collided with the Thunder Tong Cavalry. Zhao Wei was overjoyed and hurriedly joined Li Yi to join the infantry and fled from the side. Zhao Jun's infantry came from outside. Zhao Wei was there.
With the support of soldiers and horses, he fled towards the east city.
Seeing that he could not kill Zhao Wei, Lei Tong was unwilling to do so, but he had no choice but to follow the orders given by Liu Zhang in Chengdu. Instead of fighting Pang Le head-on, he withdrew the battle with his cavalry and escaped into the darkness.
Zhao Wei returned to the Dongcheng camp and was still in shock. Li Yi stepped forward and said: "My lord, now our four camps are in chaos. Your lord should quickly gather the troops. When the troops and horses gather, we will attack the city at night. The cavalry should be
Pang Xi's vanguard, we must rush to break Fucheng before Pang Xi's army arrives."
When Zhao Wei heard this, he felt that it was reasonable and immediately ordered the troops outside the north and south west cities to move closer to the east city camp. Hundreds of messengers came out of the camp from all directions and urged their horses into the moonlit night.
After receiving the order, the various units of the Zhao army marched towards the east city one after another. Lei Tong led the cavalry to attack the infantry advancing in the moonlit night from time to time. The Zhao army suffered heavy losses. When Zhao Wei ordered his troops at midnight, there were only 30,000 soldiers left in the 50,000-strong army.
Most of the remaining soldiers were scattered around Fucheng and became stragglers.
"Damn Pang Xi, hate Deng Xian, hate Liu Zhang, I am so angry." Zhao Wei was furious in the camp.
"I can't control that much anymore. My lord, please give the order to attack the city immediately. Our 30,000 troops are still far more than the defenders of Fucheng." Li Yi remonstrated.
Zhao Wei waved his hand fiercely and said: "Okay, pass on the order. All troops will be divided into six groups, each group has 5,000 people. One group will guard the camp and guard against the attack of Pang Xi's cavalry together with the cavalry. One group will serve as the supervising team, and the rest will
Four groups took turns to attack the city, but some of them retreated. The supervising team immediately killed all of them, and they could not attack the city at dawn. All the generals engaged in military law."
"Yes." Li Yi responded loudly.
The rebels began to attack the city again, and the attack was much more fierce than during the day. Liu Zhang stood quietly on the city wall.
Zhang Ren has concentrated most of his troops in the east city, but even the original defenders of Fucheng only have more than 3,000 people. It is very stressful to withstand the attacks of 20,000 people. Liu Zhang personally went to the city to supervise the battle and saw the continuous attack.
The enemy troops were beaten back by the soldiers again and again, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers on the city wall, which made me feel a little worried.
Fa Zheng on the other side said: "My lord, don't worry. These rebels seem to be attacking fiercely, but in fact they are weak. My lord's clever plan will make the rebels tired all night long. As long as we resist the rebels' attack for two hours, these rebels will fall apart."
When the time comes, no matter how many armies he has, they will still be lambs to be slaughtered."
"I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for two hours." Liu Zhang sighed. Zhao Wei's rebels were numerous and had been fighting for many years. Under the pressure of the general, they all turned into desperadoes. Even though the city was full of
They are the elite of Chengdu, and they have inexhaustible use of bows, crossbows, and arrows, but their numbers are too small after all. Looking at this posture, they cannot sustain it for even one hour, let alone two hours.
Fa Zheng saw Liu Zhang's worry and bowed, "My lord, I have a suggestion."
"explain."
"Now our troops are weak, and the defense of the four cities is even more empty. It is better to shrink the troops and retreat into the inner city. Together with the Fucheng army, there are nearly 4,000 people. Zhao Wei's army takes over the outer city defense of Fucheng, and the army is tired.
It is absolutely impossible to capture the inner city in a short time, so we can send an envoy to Brazil at starry night to ask for help."
Liu Zhang said quietly: "Pang Xi, the governor of Brazil, is sitting on a mountain watching tigers fight. Will he come to help?"
Fazheng smiled slightly and said: "It is precisely because Pang Xi wants to reap the benefits of the fishermen that he will definitely come to help. As long as the lord promises a huge profit and makes him Zhonglang General of the Expedition to the West, and has control over all the troops in the northern part of Yizhou, Pang Xi will definitely not
I would like Zhao Wei to capture Fucheng and occupy Chengdu, so that the whole family can dominate.
Although Pang Xi's troops are not as good as Zhao Wei's, Zhao Wei's attack on the city day and night has become the end of the powerful crossbow. Pang Xi's army will kill Zhao Wei's army severely, and at the same time he will form a big enemy with Zhao Wei. When the time comes, the lord will pardon Zhao Wei's crime and use Zhao Wei
We will check and balance each other with Pang Xi, and we are still firmly in Chengdu. My lord has a good general like General Zhang Ren, and I will do my best. I promise that within three years, Zhao Wei, Pang Xi and these young men will be destroyed."
Liu Zhang smiled softly. Fazheng was indeed resourceful and could find a strategy to turn defeat into victory in such a desperate situation. He said calmly: "Now Fucheng is surrounded by Zhao Wei's troops. It is very risky to leave the city. Who can be the envoy?"
"I would like to go." Fa Zheng bowed.
Liu Zhang took a breath, looked at the darkness in the distance, remained silent for a long time, and said resolutely: "No."
Fazheng's heart felt cold, his face was filled with disappointment, he smiled bitterly, and said in a disappointed voice: "So my lord still doesn't trust me, does he think that I, Fazheng, am going to defect to Pang Xi?"
