Chapter 441: Capture the enemy before the battle
Hearing shouts from all around that King Wei had arrived, the soldiers in Luye City were dubious. Hou Jingxian was also a little suspicious. However, before arriving, Master Niu, the manager, had already made it very clear. According to the news from the spies, Wei
Wang Tang Jiu Sheng was still in Prince Wei's Mansion in Anshu County. He only sent his investigators, headed by Jiang Zhenyu, to Jianzhou County to investigate Ye Tengjiao.
Master Niu first sent Zhang Shuihuan and Ning Chenggang to lead troops to intercept and kill the investigators of Prince Wei's Palace. As a precaution, he also spent a lot of money to invite the Luoyu Pavilion killers to assassinate the investigators of Prince Wei's Palace. A two-pronged approach ensured that there would be a safe place.
As long as it succeeds. Later, for some reason, I heard that the assassins from Luoyu Pavilion failed to assassinate them, and there was no news about Zhang Shuihuan and Ning Chenggang. Hou Jingxian sighed, this person from Prince Wei's Palace is really powerful!
Later, I heard that Prince Wei's Mansion had obtained hundreds of troops from nowhere and placed them outside Jianzhou City. It was supposed to be a scabies disease, but Master Niu felt uneasy and sent himself with 3,000 elite troops to quickly support Jianzhou.
Unexpectedly, when I got outside Jianzhou City, I heard that the troops from Prince Wei's Mansion had captured Jianzhou City, and the county governor Ye Tengjiao had also been captured.
Hou Jingxian suddenly fell into a dilemma. He attacked without enough troops. He knew that Master Niu would definitely send reinforcements after hearing the news, so he could not withdraw his troops at this time. He had to bite the bullet and set up camp thirty miles outside the east gate of Jianzhou. At the same time,
He sent someone to report back to the Yamen, and then flew pigeons to pass the message back, waiting for the arrival of the rear army.
Camping outside the city the first night, Hou Jingxian made preparations for fear that people from the city would come to rob the camp. Unexpectedly, everything was safe and sound all night. On the evening of the next day, Hou Jingxian suddenly received a letter from a spy in the city, saying:
Tonight, Jianzhou Captain Jiang Zhenyu would bring two thousand soldiers and horses to rob the camp between Chou Shi and Yinshi, so he made preparations. He ambushed He Changhu on the road and prepared to capture Jiang Zhenyu alive, but he did not expect that his opponent would attack him.
They surrounded them in three groups.
When the soldiers of Luye City heard the arrival of King Wei, they all panicked. Hou Jingxian shouted sternly: "Don't panic, everyone, Tang Jiu Sheng is not here at all! This is the enemy's plan, gather your formation quickly!" The soldiers of Luye City panicked.
Upon hearing Hou Jingxian's order, they all retracted their formation inwards. Unexpectedly, the soldiers from Jianzhou did not stop them and allowed them to gather their formation and join forces.
He solemnly ordered his soldiers to tie up He Changhu who had been captured alive by him. Hou Jingxian lost his right arm and was distressed. The soldiers from Jianzhou surrounded the soldiers in Luye City. Tang Jiusheng pulled off his mask and rode a big white horse to ride over the crowd.
When they came out, Fatty Jiang, Zheng Zheng and others dismounted from their horses to pay homage, and the mountain shouted: "See, King Wei is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Tang Jiu was angry with his luck dantian and said loudly: "Everyone, please be safe. Whoever can capture Hou Jingxian alive tonight will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins! Whoever can behead Hou Jingxian will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins!" When Jianzhou soldiers and horses heard that there was a heavy reward for capturing Hou Jingxian, they all cheered and cheered.
stand up.
The defeated soldiers who came from Luye City were completely dumbfounded. It turned out that the king of Wei Tang Jiusheng was really in Jianzhou. The soldiers from Luye all looked at each other with fear. Hou Jingxian was furious and killed the two captains who tried to escape with his sword.
, but still can't stop the lax military spirit.
Tang Jiusheng smiled and said: "Brothers of Luye City, don't follow Niu Mandi to rebel again. Niu Mandi has no future at all. Anyone who surrenders tonight, I will pardon you and allow you to continue to join the army.
Serve the country! General Ning Chenggang, who was your military envoy in the past, has led his people to abandon the dark side and join the bright side to help me conquer Jianzhou. I have already asked the Holy One to promote him to a higher rank!"
These words clearly reached the ears of the Luye City soldiers, and some soldiers had already begun to feel excited. At this moment, Ning Chenggang jumped out from behind Tang Jiu Sheng, holding a black gold gun in his hand, and stood in the formation.
Qian Yaowu ran around in awe, and shouted loudly as he ran: "Brothers, don't follow the rebels everywhere, surrender to King Wei Qiansui together! Let's destroy these rebels who are not loyal to the Great Shang Kingdom, and do a good job
What a great undertaking!"
Hearing Tang Jiusheng and Ning Chenggang's shouts, many soldiers from Luye City were yearning for it. They took their weapons and fled towards the Jianzhou soldiers and horses, shouting as they ran: "Don't shoot arrows, we are here to surrender!"
"
Hou Jingxian killed several soldiers in a row, but he couldn't stop the soldiers from fleeing. Around Hou Jingxian, fewer and fewer people fled, and finally there were only about twenty soldiers standing around him. Hou Jingxian was filled with anger in his chest.
Riding on the horse, he yelled: "Ning Chenggang, you rebel! Master Niu treats you badly. You actually led your troops to surrender to Tang Jiusheng. Come here, I will fight you to the death!"
Ning Chenggang also said angrily: "Good birds choose trees to roost, and good ministers choose their masters to serve! Niu Mandi is an economic envoy and received great favor from the court, but he did not want to serve the court and instead became a traitor. Naturally, Ning
Abandon him! What's wrong? I am a general of Dashang, not a servant of Niu Mandi! You, Hou Jingxian, do not distinguish between public and private affairs. If you are willing to be a servant of Niu Mandi, then let you go! You can't ask for this
The brothers are just as indifferent as you are, and do not know the difference between right and wrong!"
Hou Jingxian couldn't bear it any longer, raised the golden spear in his hand, sat down on his yellow gelding, and rushed towards Ning Chenggang, shouting: "Ning, you disloyal and unjust villain, do you dare to test your marksmanship with me? If you
If you win, Hou will be at your disposal today. If you lose, keep your head!"
Ning Chenggang laughed wildly and said: "Hou Jingxian, since you want to die, Ning will help you!" He also slapped his horse and rushed forward, waving the black gold gun in his hand, and fought with Hou Jingxian. The two gold guns were raised at the same time, and they wanted to eat them alive.
On the other side, the two men fought for thirty rounds in front of the formation, with no winner or loser. The soldiers on both sides cheered in unison, but it was a pity that Hou Jingxian had fewer men, so the cheers were a little weaker.
Hou Jingxian and Ning Chenggang fought for more than 30 rounds in front of the battle, and there was no winner. Hou Jingxian thought to himself, I didn’t expect this guy named Ning to be really capable, and he was not weaker than me at all! There are many people on the other side, and my subordinates
Almost all the soldiers have fled. If we continue the fight tonight, I will definitely be in danger. Hou Jingxian fought with Ning Chenggang for a few more rounds, peeking at Tang Jiusheng's position.
Tang Jiusheng stayed away from the army and stood out alone. He was watching the two spear-wielding generals competing with each other with concern. The two spear-wielding generals were really good at meeting their opponents. It seemed that even if they fought for a hundred rounds, it would be difficult to determine the winner.
Negative. Hou Jingxian saw Tang Jiu Sheng from a distance and thought to himself, shoot the horse first before shooting the man, and capture the king first before catching the thief. Even if I capture Ning Chenggang alive now, it will not help. If I kill Tang Jiu Sheng, it will be better than killing a hundred.
Will!
Thinking of this, Hou Jing smiled coldly, and took advantage of the opportunity of fighting with Ning Chenggang to attack Tang Jiusheng. When Ning Chenggang turned around, he was shocked to see Hou Jing running towards Tang Jiusheng first.
, hurriedly patted the horse to chase, the two of them were twenty steps away. Fatty Jiang was watching the battle with a sledgehammer on his shoulders. Suddenly he saw Hou Jingxian sneering and pounced on Tang Jiusheng. He couldn't help but feel furious, and he pinched the horse's belly with his legs.
Come and fight with Hou Jingxian.
Hou Jingxian urged his horse to run towards Tang Jiusheng while calculating the distance between him and Tang Jiusheng. It was obvious that he was closer to Tang Jiusheng. By the time Ning Cheng caught up with him or Fatty Jiang came to kill him, he would have already killed Tang Jiusheng. Looking at Tang Jiusheng again
Riding on the big white horse, he seemed to be frightened and motionless. Hou Jingxian was ecstatic and screamed in his heart, you deserve your short life! Hou Jingxian raised the golden spear in his hand and pierced Tang Jiusheng's chest.
Everyone watching the battle was far away, and it was too late to rescue Tang Jiusheng. The soldiers all exclaimed in unison. Just when Hou Jingxian's spearhead was about to stab Tang Jiusheng, Tang Jiusheng lightly reached out his left hand and held it tightly.
He firmly grasped the sharp tip of the spear, and with a slight struggle, he lifted Hou Jingxian off his horse. Hou Jingxian firmly grasped the barrel of the gun with both hands and refused to let go. He tried to thrust forward with force, but it was like a cricket shaking a tree.
Hou Jingxian was gently lifted up by Tang Jiusheng with his left arm, which shocked the onlookers. Tang Jiusheng lifted Hou Jingxian in the air, and seeing that he still refused to let go of the gun barrel, he suddenly smiled slightly, and his energy passed through the gun barrel, and he fiercely
Shocked, Hou Jingxian's arms were numb and he couldn't hold the gun barrel. He let go of his hand involuntarily and fell to the ground with a thud. Tang Jiusheng turned the golden spear in his hand, pointed at Hou Jingxian's throat, and shouted: "Tied!"
"
The fat man who ran up to him had already picked up a sledgehammer and was about to smash Hou Jingxian to death. However, after hearing Tang Jiusheng's words, he took the sledgehammer back abruptly. Ning Chenggang was also extremely surprised. He was so anxious just now,
Forgetting about King Wei's superior martial arts, Ning Cheng just turned over and dismounted, inserted the black gold gun on the ground, knelt down on one knee and saluted Tang Jiusheng, and shouted: "King Wei is mighty!"
Tang Jiusheng was extremely brave and captured Hou Jingxian alive in front of the formation. The soldiers on both sides were shocked. When they heard Ning Chenggang shouting that the King of Wei was mighty, they reacted and all raised their swords and guns and shouted, "The King of Wei is mighty! The King of Wei is mighty!
King Mighty!"
Hou Jingxian sighed, feeling despair. He originally wanted to capture Tang Jiusheng alive, but unexpectedly he was captured alive by Tang Jiusheng. Hou Jingxian closed his eyes, convinced of the defeat, and thought to himself: No wonder he became the King of Wei at a young age. Sure enough, he did.
In terms of human abilities, just by the way he captured me before this formation, no one under Master Niu could go through ten rounds under him.
Some soldiers came forward and tied up Hou Jingxian. Hou Jingxian's twenty or so soldiers who refused to surrender saw that General Hou was captured and tried to rescue him, but they were surrounded by soldiers and were all disarmed.
.The soldiers of Jianzhou shook the ground with joy and escorted the surrendered soldiers and generals of Luye City back to the city.
Shui Rulong led hundreds of soldiers to raid the empty village of Hou Jingxian, demolished them all and took them back to the city.
The next morning, everyone in the city knew that King Wei had arrived in Jianzhou and captured alive the general Hou Jingxian of the Yamen in front of the two armies. The people in the city immediately calmed down. King Wei was so brave, so why should he be afraid of him?
A brief envoy?
