Chapter 232 Bloody fight against the three armies for courage

The rain finally stopped, and the Zheng army soldiers came out of the camp one after another. Under the orders of their respective officers, they searched for firewood. In this rain, many camp tents leaked, including the general's small tents, which were also wet.

When they arrived at the forage pile, the soldiers had no choice but to find that many of the hay piles were wet, and the stored dry firewood was wet with rain. The soldiers of Zheng army picked out the hay and changed the wet grass in the tent, while lighting the bonfire and baking the wet clothes. As more and more bonfires were lit, the smoke of the entire camp was filled with smoke.

Qin Qiong looked at the messy Zheng army camp, raised the halberd in his hand and shouted: "All the soldiers, follow the general to kill the enemy and serve the country, and make achievements!"

"Kill the enemy and serve the country and make achievements!" The soldiers shouted, stepped out their thighs and rushed towards the Zheng army camp.

After a stick of incense, more than 2,000 troops from Qin Qiong approached the Zheng army camp. The panicked Zheng army soldiers hurriedly resisted, but were scattered by the Tang army soldiers. In the chaos, Qin Qiong and others killed dozens of people, and the five or six hundred Zheng army soldiers guarding the gate of the camp fled in all directions.

Qin Qiong did not hesitate and led more than 2,000 dead soldiers to advance towards Wang Shichong's central camp, but turned around and spread left and right but rushed towards the catapult position in front of the formation. From a distance, he looked at the catapult at a dozen steps behind the camp wall. When the camp and the catapult had already built the earth, he dug a piece of earth to build the earth wall. This was a low-lying land that had long been flooded with water.

Qin Qiong was about to jump forward, but saw several dead soldiers on both sides jumping into the puddle and disappeared in an instant. Soon, a large stream of blood surged from the bottom of the water. At this moment, a row of crossbows appeared behind the earthen pile, and the arrows flashed coldly.

"Oh no, there is a trap!" Qin Qiong was shocked. This turbid puddle was about five or six meters wide and could not get through it. His back was cold, and he instantly understood that the catapult position was a trap.

A wave of arrows shot, Qin Qiong was too sudden and there was no shield in his hand. He pulled the arrow with an iron halberd while retreating.

At this time, it was impossible to attack the catapult again. When Qin Qiong retreated on the same road, he turned his head and saw Zheng soldiers from the left and right wings of the rear road lined up in dense formations and slowly surrounded them.

Qin Qiong carefully observed and found that Wang Shichong seemed to have expected that the Tang army would sneak attack his catapult, so a large number of ambushers were arranged on the left and right wings of the front battalion. These ambushers were holding crossbows and guns without any trace. If they retreated at this time, it would definitely cause collapse and chaos. I am afraid that few of these two thousand people could go back alive.

Qin Qiong thought to himself that although Wang Shichong expected them to attack the camp, he might not have expected him to die at this time. Now he did not retreat but advance, and attacked in the direction of Wang Shichong's central army. The army passed through first like a spear, and might not have no chance to turn defeat into victory...

"kill……"

Qin Qiong raised his purple gold halberd and rushed towards Wang Shichong's central army camp, with the surviving 1,700 dead soldiers following closely.

Wang Shichong looked at the Tang army soldiers who did not retreat in surprise and smiled faintly: "Haha, this Tang army is a warrior. The leader of the army can quickly think of killing and live a life, but it is a pity..."

In order to lure the Tang army into a trap, the chaos in the Zheng army camp was actually deliberately created by Wang Shichong. The chaotic soldiers in the camp were all Tian Zan's subordinates, mostly old, weak, sick and disabled. The more than 10,000 soldiers who acted as bait had poor equipment and poor training. Therefore, when the truth was unknown, they were rushed by more than 2,000 people under Qin Qiong and immediately collapsed. They had no resistance and just ran around in scattered life.

In the camp tent of the Central Army camp, there were already a winch of bed crossbows and crossbows. The crossbows more than six feet long were stuck in the arrow groove. Just a command was given, these bed crossbows would shoot all the Tang soldiers coming to the camp.

Li Shimin, standing on the watchtower of the Tang Army camp, watched Zheng Army camp have chaos except for the front camp, while the left and right battalions and the Central Army camp are surprisingly quiet. Li Shimin knew that Qin Qiong had fallen into the trap.

Under this situation, it was too late to retreat. Li Shimin said: "There is no choice, let's fight hard now. Now you can only take advantage of the situation and rush forward. The two wings must be dispersed to the east and west sides. General Changsun, if you lead your troops to protect the rear wings of the army, there may not be no chance of victory in this battle!"

When a brave man wins when he meets a narrow road, there is no medicine to regret in the world. The combat effectiveness of the Zheng army may not be very strong. Li Shimin is a person with a firm mind. Of course, the most important thing is that Li Shimin is a person who dares to gamble. In history, he was suppressed by Li Jiancheng and could not move. Seeing that Li Jiancheng split the generals of the Qin Palace, he could only take risks and launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident. In that case, in fact, Li Shimin's chance of winning was very small. You must know that the 25,000 left and right martial arts in the entire palace did not listen to his greetings. Once Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji could not be killed and controlled by Li Yuan, he would not have any chance of life when the left and right martial arts army was dispatched to suppress him.

Li Shimin's chance was to reach the Ganlu Hall in Xuanwu Gate for more than 1,300 steps, and send orders to run and advance back and forth, which would only last for a quarter of an hour. In other words, once Li Yuan ordered the left and right martial guards to be dispatched, Li Shimin would face suppression of more than 25,000 well-equipped, well-trained, and powerful combat power at most a quarter of an hour.

It was very difficult to kill more than 400 guards of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in a quarter of an hour and control Li Yuan. It could be said that the chance of winning was less than 20%, but Li Shimin still gambled.

As the Tang army camp mobilized troops, the smile on Wang Shichong's face became more and more obvious. To be honest, Wang Shichong was still very surprised that Li Shimin dared to fight with him at this time, but the accident was just an accident and did not mean that Li Shimin could turn the victory around. At this moment, he ordered Zhao Jiqing, Yang Qing, and Tian Zan's troops to act according to the plan, stabilize the morale of the army, and attack the empty Tang army camp.

Finally, Qin Qiong led the dead soldiers into the central army camp. Just as Qin Qiong looked at the swaying figures in the central army camp, a loud shout sounded: "Shoot the arrow!"

"Swish swish swish swish..."

A rain of arrows shot over, and there was a burst of crying and crying from the dead soldiers' formation. The dead soldiers screamed and fell to the mud.

Qin Qiong knew that he had no way out at this time, and he would either die or win.

Qin Qiong gritted his teeth and shouted at the dead soldiers with less than a thousand people around him: "Run...rush over!"

A group of soldiers rushed out of the smoke and fell heavily to the ground. Then more people were rushing out from behind, and the arrow rain continued to pour out. The dead soldiers neither had armor nor shields, rushed forward with their flesh and blood to face the arrow rain and then fell down again.

They used their bodies as the shield of their comrades in the back team, and bought them close to each other. Even Wang Shichong had never seen this lifeless fighting style. Those archers were stunned by these enemies who regarded life as grass. Their hands were shaking, and the arrow feathers could no longer hold the bowstrings.

The purple gold halberd in Qin Qiong's hand drew a meteor, and the purple gold halberd was flying in the air while sweeping down three or four Zheng army archers. This was Qin Qiong's killer move - the sacred halberd.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Qiong didn't care whether he was imaginative or not. He crawled on the ground, his hands and feet quickly crawled into Zheng Jun's archer formation. Before the archer formation, Qin Qiong jumped up and snatched an iron-tied bow from a Zheng Jun archer, used the bow arm as an iron rod, and slammed heavily on the archer's head.

The head of the Zheng Jun archer was like a smashed watermelon. With a thunderous sound, blood and brains burst out. An archer raised the arrow that had been pulled into a full moon and aimed at Qin Qiong, but Qin Qiong's movements were faster. He raised the iron-tied bow and smashed it directly into his face.

The bow and arrow took off the string at this time, and Qin Qiong grabbed the sharp arrow with his hand. However, the archer's face was also blown by the archer's arm thrown out by Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong casually stabbed the sharp arrow into the eyes of a Zheng army archer. At this time, the dead soldiers had already entered the archer formation. The archers holding the bows and arrows had no way to be comparable to the dead soldiers holding the high manganese steel horizontal sword. Even the archer arm of the iron-tied bow could not stop the full force of the high manganese steel horizontal sword.

The dead soldiers rushed into the Zheng army's archers formation, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, cutting melons and vegetables, killing the Zheng army's archers into a panic and fleeing.

Wang Shichong looked at this scene and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger.

Zhao Jiqing's face changed slightly, and he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, do you want it..."

What Zhao Jiqing wanted to say was whether to fire the crossbow. No matter how brave Qin Qiong was, he could not resist the fatal blow of the crossbow. It can be said that as long as fifty or sixty crossbows ambushed near the central army fired one volley, the more than 800 dead soldiers under Qin Qiong's command would probably be all stopped.

Wang Shichong raised his hand and said, "No need for the time being. Li Shimin has led the Tang army out of the camp. When they come, bury Li Shimin here today!"

Wang Shichong was also temporarily frustrated in Hedong. The key is that there was a rebellion in Gong County for no reason. If officials forced the people to rebel, Wang Shichong did not believe it. Although he forced the people to join the army, he adopted the method of drawing empty checks and using the method of exempting one year of food tax for military service in one month. These people actually did not oppose doing this. As for what they will do in the future, we can only wait for the future.

But, in Gong County, there was a rebellion of thousands of people.

Wang Shichong remembers that there seemed to be no more than a thousand households in Gong County, so how could so many people rebelled overnight? Wang Shichong didn't know that there were actually a large number of refugees and miners hidden in the Songshan Mountains, but Wang Shichong naturally thought that it was the aristocratic family who were making trouble. He also heard that Dou Jiande robbed the Zheng family of Xingyang this time in Xingyang. Now that Dou Jiande's army retreated to Hedong, the Zheng family of Xingyang vented his anger.

Wang Shichong got the energy of the Zheng family in Xingyang and decided that it was necessary to have a good talk with the Zheng family. After all, he was him and Dou Jiande was Dou Jiande, so he could not be generalized. If the Zheng family in Xingyang was disrespectful, Wang Shichong would not mind robbing the Zheng family in Xingyang. After all, Dou Jiande took away all the wealth, and staying behind was the foundation of the Zheng family.

Just when Wang Shichong was full of thoughts, Li Shimin led more than 10,000 troops under his command to attack the Zheng army camp at all costs. In fact, Li Shimin was also very anxious. If Qin Qiong was defeated by Wang Shichong this time, Qin Qiong was the bravest of the three armies and was defeated by Wang Shichong, he would probably have no will to fight.

At this time, Qin Qiong was a banner of Li Shimin and also a sticky agent to unite people's hearts. No matter what, he could not let Qin Qiong die at the hands of Wang Shichong.

Li Shimin yelled in his heart: "Qin Qiong, hold on, must hold on!"

Qin Qiong naturally persisted, of course, this was not entirely because of his bravery, but because Wang Shichong regarded Qin Qiong as bait and secretly released water.

At this time, a shield wall appeared five hundred steps away from the Central Army camp, and a cold gun blade appeared in the gaps in the shield wall.

A dead soldier looked at Qin Qiong and said, "General Qin, what should we do now?"

Qin Qiong yelled: "Get in!"

In this battle, Qin Qiong was not because of fame and fortune, nor for the future. But because of hope, Chen Ying governed Henan Prefecture and adopted the joint venture between the government and the public and private sectors to open up one farm after another. As long as he survived this year, his life would get better and better in the future.

The Tang Dynasty gave Henan Road to Chen Ying, and the people of Henan Road would benefit from it.

"Kill and kill!"

A row of dead soldiers raised their horizontal swords and stabbed in from the gap of the shield, and their whole body crashed into it. A scream came from behind the shield, and then their bodies hit the shield heavily. The long spear and short sword protruded from the gap of the shield penetrated their bodies. He failed to break the shield formation. The shield formation just shook for a while and was tightly held back by the layers of soldiers behind the shield hands.

The human power could not break through the shield formation, but they rushed forward with a horizontal knife. While stabbing many Zheng troops behind the shield to death, they also tied the shield formation together and tied them together with their flesh and blood.

Qin Qiong, who was forgot to drive towards the shield by the dead soldier, was so angry that he roared, rushed to the shield formation, suddenly abandoned the knife, held his hands in the ground, and arched his back like a bridge, shouting: "Break the formation!"

"Break the formation!" A row of dead soldiers imitated Qin Qiong's appearance, hugged the body of the dead soldiers who had already died in front with their hands, and arched them with their waists to form a human ladder.

Another row of dead soldiers responded loudly, leaping like flying, jumped onto the human-shaped backbone, stepped onto the air, and jumped over a person's high shield, wrapped in smoke for a day, as if the revenge gods born from nothingness were slashed down in the hand of the horizontal sword in their hands.

The Zheng soldiers behind the shield would never have thought that the Tang soldiers would use this method to break the formation. They were all erecting long spears or blades. At this time, these spear blades and swords were stabbing the dead soldiers' bodies and they had no time to take them back. They could only watch the horizontal swords that fell from the air, and the blades were infinitely enlarged.

"Puchi...Puchi"

Blood ejected like a fountain, and it was very strange under the light of fire.

Wang Shichong looked at this scene and his face finally changed: "The evil of ancient times is here, but that's it!"

However, this confirms Wang Shichong's idea. Warriors are treated as warriors. They are wrapped in horses, which is the highest honor of the warriors.

Wang Shichong used the catapult position as bait to attract Qin Qiong into the jail. He also attracted Qin Qiong as bait to attract Li Shimin into the jail.

At this moment, looking at Li Shimin who was rushing towards Zheng army camp in the distance, Wang Shichong's unique smile appeared on his face: "The overall situation of today's battle is decided!"

However, Wang Shichong's confidence was too much. At this time, Wang Shichong had forgotten that the mantis had pounced on the cicada oriole behind him. Just when he was plotting against Li Shimin, there was also an oriole behind him, ready to give him a fatal blow.
