Chapter 233 Will Dry Blood Here
"Your Highness of the King of Qin, Wang Shichong's camp was defeated by General Qin and retreated, and his morale was severely damaged. It was the weakness of this line of defense. Niu was willing to lead his troops as a vanguard, break the Zheng army's defense line, and fight for a bloody way for the army!" Niu Junda knew that his martial arts skills were not as good as Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie, but at this moment Qin Qiong was surrounded by Zheng army, and he did not know his life or death. Cheng Zhijie's serious injury had not healed. Xie Yingdeng was a wise general. In the Wagang army, he was second only to Wei Zheng and Xu Shiji. This kind of life-threatening trick was no better than him.
Li Shimin looked at it carefully. Sure enough, the Zheng army flags deployed directly in front of the camp were scattered and the formation was relatively chaotic. He kept looking at this side. It was obvious that Qin Qiong's fierce battle just now defeated them, and more than 2,000 people were killed or injured, which was definitely a trauma. He thought for a moment and said, "Then there will be General Niu. I will send three regiments of general Niu to command General Niu, and then send five regiments of the Shooting Army to support General Niu, shoot in the air, and suppress Zheng's archers..."
Niu Junda raised the horse spear in his hand and raised his arms and shouted: "My sons, let me kill you!"
Although there were not many Tang soldiers around Niu Junda, only more than 3,000 people, they were very motivated. They responded to their generals with the roaring sound of mountains and thunder, and rushed towards the defense line at the main gate of the Zheng army camp.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the campfires in the camp vaguely illuminated Niu Junda's flag.
"Niu?" Wang Shichong's eyes flashed and he asked left and right: "Is there any general named Niu in Li Shimin's army?"
"The Niu surname is not a big clan. The Northern Wei Shizhong Fufeng Niu Yun was exterminated as early as the Northern Zhou Dynasty. I think there would be no descendants..." Zhao Jiqing said: "I think I am also an unknown person!"
"Oh!" Duan Da's face changed slightly: "I remember who this is!"
"Who?" Wang Shichong turned around and asked.
Duan Da said: "Wagang Niu Junda!"
"Is it him?" Wang Shichong laughed to the sky. The generals of the Zheng army were inexplicably laughed by Wang Shichong. Everyone looked at Wang Shichong in confusion, and Duan Da asked inexplicably, "What are your Majesty laughing?"
Wang Shichong said: "I laugh at Tangren's cowardice!"
The generals cried out: "The Tang people are cowardly!?"
They couldn't believe that this was from Wang Shichong's mouth. They knew how fierce the Tang people were. Just now, Qin Qiong led only more than 2,000 people. Knowing that they were in a slum, they fought against the six central defense lines in a row. With a huge gap between the enemy and us, they defeated at least 5,000 Zheng's army. Even at this time, less than 5,600 people around Qin Qiong were still shaking the shield formation. Such a terrible opponent, Wang Shichong actually said that they were cowardly?
Could it be that Wang Shichong was crazy? He actually talked nonsense with his eyes open?
Wang Shichong pointed to the Tang army formation on the opposite side and said loudly: "The Tang people had a total of 200,000, and our army was only 100,000. However, the Tang people were defeated one after another. For more than ten days, they did not dare to face our army, but instead defended themselves. What does this mean? This means that they have lost the confidence to defeat our army in a head-on confrontation, and instead tried to rely on the sneak attack to defeat us! A group of cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong! Now Li Shimin's son first drove Qin Qiong to sneak attack our camp, and then asked the former general Niu Junda of Wagang to play the vanguard. What does this mean? It means that Li Shimin is afraid, and Li Shimin is a waste."
The soldiers of Zheng's army also felt that Wang Shichong was right and burst into laughter.
However, a trace of gloom flashed between Wang Shichong's eyebrows and eyes. The performance of the Zheng army soldiers was so bad. It took Qin Qiong to retreat step by step! The entire six shield formations were all broken by Qin Qiong by taking a ladder. Although they lost only more than a thousand shield soldiers. However, it was beyond Wang Shichong's expectation that Qin Qiong could break through the six shield formations.
"Break the formation!" Qin Qiong made the case as usual, and tightened the soil on the ground with both hands, straightened their backbone, and sent their comrades into the shield formation one by one. However, this time, the Zheng army soldiers were ready. They did not poke the spear at the dead soldiers who were pounced on the shield and acted as flesh shields, but instead pushed the spear to the ground, pointed at the sky, reacted and aimed at the dead soldiers who jumped out of the air.
However, the dead soldiers who jumped out of the air did not hesitate at all. They were pierced by the enemy's spear, and at the same time, their horizontal swords also rely on the center of the earth to accurately chop the enemy's vital parts, in exchange for the enemy's life, and continued to go one after another, like a moth to a flame.
Those Zheng army soldiers who were lucky enough to die pierced the enemy's body with their spears. When the warm blood of the enemy above their heads splattered on their faces, they saw the bodies they fell down and saw that they had a peaceful smile on their faces. They were really scared.
Qin Qiong yelled in a deep voice: "Break the formation, break the formation!"
Qin Qiong led the remaining dead soldiers, like moths throwing into fire, and they were completely fighting for life. The soldiers of the Zheng army were frightened and scared them.
As the saying goes, a soldier is a crotch. Under Niu Junda's leadership, more than 3,000 Tang army soldiers are like crazy tigers. The two armies are in opposition, and the focus is on iron discipline and joint confrontation. Once they are defeated, they can only regret that their parents have fewer legs. People with better eyes can run directly to the left and right wings that the Tang army does not pursue. More people lead Niu Junda's troops to massacre all the way behind. Some people are brave, and several or dozens of people unite to fight, but block the crazy Niu Junda's troops.
Niu Junda was so arrogant that he surrendered. He lifted the reins and rode his horse and stepped over. The brave soldiers under his command were also very aggressive. He had no intention of keeping prisoners. He had to kill them cleanly to be happy. He had to kill them cleanly.
Yu Qing and Hou Mo Chenxu, who were dressed up as Zheng's military and civil servants, climbed onto a watchtower. At Hou Mo Chenxu, a few Zheng army soldiers with twisted necks were still lying at Hou Mo Chenxu's feet. In order to rescue Li Shimin at a critical moment, Hou Mo Chenxu ordered private soldiers from the Lingnan branch of the Hou Mo Chen family to pretend to be forced to be recruited by Wang Shichong, and some of them sneaked into the civil servant camp and acted as laborers.
Just when Wang Shichong's main attention was on Qin Qiong and Li Shimin, Hou Mo Chenxu led the remaining civilians, carrying sharp blades, and working with the dead soldiers who were mixed in the civilian camp, assassinating some patrolling Zheng soldiers. At this time, Hou Mo Chenxu had completely controlled the baggage camp.
Yu Qing watched the Tang army's offensive in the front camp enter the tide, and Zheng's army retreated step by step. He sighed: "Li Shimin really has a sense of ruthlessness, and Wang Shichong's defeat is revealed!"
"Actually not!" Hou Mo Chenxu shook his head and said, "Look, Wang Shichong's central army was in chaos and was not dispersed, and the left and right battalions had already completed and were ready to be dispatched at any time. If there were no accidents, the troops of these two battalions were specifically designed to cut off Li Shimin's retreat!"
"Qilang, you're thinking too much. Look, Qin Qiong is less than 300 steps away from Wang Shichong at most. As long as Li Shimin's support follows, you can go straight in the palace and attack Huanglong!" Yu Qing smiled and said, "Wang Shichong is afraid that the ship will capsize in the gutter!"
"It will capsize, but it's not Wang Shichong, but Li Shimin!" Hou Mo Chenxu pointed to the rocket suddenly launched in the direction of the central army in the sky and said: "You see, that's the signal Wang Shichong fired his ambush. Now Wang Shichong's ambush is about to appear. Let's see, Li Shimin will definitely be attacked from both sides!"
Yu Qingding looked at it and suddenly two fire dragons lit up in the direction of the Tang army camp. It was roughly estimated that there were tens of thousands of people.
Hou Mo Chenxu said: "Hou Mo Chen Wansheng!"
At this moment, among the honest and honest men, a group of people suddenly pulled out a ribbon and tied it to their foreheads. These scarves were made of special products, and they were printed and dyed into a tiger pattern with a shiny dye.
Five or six hundred people with patterns tied on their heads did not yell at all, but put a piece of paper for the civil servants in the civil servant camp one by one. You should have found out that this piece of paper is the money ticket of the Tang Dynasty Tongli Money House. You can go to the money house to exchange for ten cents of money. Each person takes ten cents of money, sets a fire, and after setting the fire, they will run away from their own lives!"
Hou Mo Chenxu was also a smart man. He knew that with his five or six hundred private soldiers, there was no possibility of success in trying to shake the tens of thousands of troops under Wang Shichong's command. So when he discovered the money house built by Chen Ying, he asked someone to save a sum of money in the money house and exchanged it all for paper money.
Hou Mo Chenxu's price was not low. A strong cow from the Tang Dynasty that had been plowing ox for more than two years was about 8,000 yuan, while Hou Mo Chenxu took ten coins. If you buy a calf, you can buy two cows, one cow, especially one of his own. For those poor farmers who have no savings, this temptation is really too great.
These civilians never dreamed that they could have a cow of their own in their lifetime.
Chinese farmers are a very unique group. As mentioned above, they are sometimes very docile, and even if they are oppressed, they will not rebel easily. However, farmers are also peasant-like cunning. Now they only need to set fire and do what they can, and everyone has done it, so they are not afraid of Wang Shichong's pursuit afterwards. Of course, whether Wang Shichong can survive to the end is the same.
These civil servants were happy and took the paper from the private soldiers of Houmo Chen family just like the New Year. In fact, they were all civil servants from Henan Prefecture. After Chen Ying's publicity and personal experience, they had long known that this piece of paper was money and could be exchanged for food, seeds, ploughing tools and cows. They also carried tincture oil and poured oil on the grain, fodder and supplies.
Just wait for Hou Mo Chenxu to give the order, and then the camps can be burned.
Looking at the last shield formation, Niu Junda finally breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Qiong's troops were already left, but Qin Qiong was still alive, as long as he was alive, it was better than anything else.
Wang Shichong immediately stepped into the camp with a sword, his face turned pale, stared at the battlefield with numbness, and said sternly: "I don't have to keep it by passing on my will. Blow out all the turbid oil to me and smash these Tang slaves!"
Wang Shichong naturally kept his back. In addition to setting up fifty or sixty bed crossbows, he also arranged thousands of barrels of tinder oil in his central army camp. Of course, these tinder oils were not mainly fierce tinder oil, but mainly rapeseed oil and tung oil. The combustion effect was naturally not as good as fierce tinder oil, but it was also sufficient to block Li Shimin's retreat.
When two fire dragons lit up in the Tang army camp, Li Shimin knew that Wang Shichong must be waiting for him, but Li Shimin had no way out and could only go to darkness one way. At this time, what he fought for was courage and blood, and he was just racing against time to see who would break through whose camp first.
If Changsun Shunde did not defend the camp, then this battle would have been lost, completely without reservation.
"Bang bang bang..."
Originally, there was a trench that was not deep splashing in the front battalion, and the Tang soldiers did not attack the thief troop unit. The Zheng army's thief unit suddenly spoke at this time. Huhula fired stone bombs one by one.
The soldiers of the Tang army were relieved when they saw that they were not slamming like meteors, but with a crisp sound, a sound like a ceiling pot suddenly rang out.
A Tang army soldier felt the eyes turn dark. He wiped his face, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, it's not good, it's turmeric!"
The stone bombs fired by the trencher are actually clay pots. Each clay pot contains tins of tin or dozens of tins of tin.
In fact, before these soldiers could report to Li Shimin, Li Shimin's heart suddenly fell into the ice cellar.
These seemingly simple stone bombs fell to the ground and shattered fragments shot out. Some fragments pierced the armor of the Tang army soldiers, and the Tang army soldiers were killed and injured. Rockets all over the sky flew into the Tang army formation like meteors. The turbulent oil that originally landed on the ground quickly ignited, forming a huge fire (it may be a bit exaggerated here, the burning effect of tung oil is not very good, and it is not easy to ignite.)
The soldiers of the Tang army were frightened and fell into panic.
Just as Qin Qiong was about to pounce on the last shield formation, he suddenly found that the shield formation had dispersed automatically and fled to the left and right wings at a rapid speed.
Qin Qiong yelled with blood on his face: "Zheng Jun was scared!"
At this moment, a dead soldier suddenly pounced on Qin Qiong and threw Qin Qiong to the ground.
The sound of the crossbow tearing the air in the bed sounded. In order to create panic, Wang Shichong also fired a crossbow with a hole, which made a harsh whistle that made people collapse.
The Tang army dead soldiers who could not avoid it were the first to be hit.
"Puchi...Puchi..."
The bed crossbow penetrated the body of the dead soldiers under Qin Qiong without any delay. The man who was originally a stunning man was like a light paper man in front of the bed crossbow, and was taken back by a gun and crossbow.
With only fifty or sixty bed crossbows and one hundred and fifty gun crossbows, the dead soldiers under Qin Qiong were shot to death.
At this time, there were sounds of sore teeth in the Zheng army camp. This was the sound of the shaking of the hard crossbow strings. The dense arrows enveloped the Tang army soldiers from all directions in the night sky and died. This heavy rain of death enveloped more than 10,000 Tang army soldiers in this net of death.
Wang Shichong did not leave any help. The crossbow kept firing crossbow arrows towards the Tang army's forward. The most threatening to the Tang army's soldiers were the catapults. These catapults fired tinder oil while igniting the rockets. Fortunately, Wang Shichong didn't know that in fact, the catapult could directly fire the ignition tinder oil, which would be more powerful and more lethal.
The battlefield was filled with heart-wrenching crying and painful screams of Tang army soldiers, and some were so scared that they lay on the ground like an ostrich.
Li Shimin was furious and said sternly: "Lei Yonglei, take down those damn stone cannons for me!"
The guards of the Qin Palace were exhausted, and the dead were killed and wounded, and they could still kill less than 300 people. However, when they heard the order, Lei Yongji did not hesitate and formed a formation of arrows, put a flat horse spear, and prepared to charge. Xie Yingdeng couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, King Qin, stop letting the guards rush, their blood is about to dry up!"
Li Shimin pointed to the Zheng Jun's catapult position that was constantly roaring, with a few bloodshots covered in his eyes: "If we can't take down their stone cannons, we will all dry the blood here!"
