Chapter 474 Eight thousand white robes, the suzerain of my Northern Han Dynasty died
At the west gate of the city, the most unexpected thing happened.
The Han cavalry suddenly rushed out and the five thousand reinforcements who rushed to the city were all panic-stricken. When the former soldiers at the forefront saw that the city gate of Taigu West City had been opened and the suspension bridge had been lowered, they all pushed and squeezed towards it. The city gate rushed towards them. The formation, which had been somewhat loose due to the long march, instantly became more chaotic. Generals Liu Pei and Guan Sheng were unable to restrain their men. They were surrounded by the rebel army and moved toward the west gate of Taigu. As they approached, the two of them were so anxious that they jumped up and down in the midst of the chaos.
However, the Zhongshan Army itself was really intimidated by the Han Army's cavalry. Especially the three thousand soldiers who came from Xiyang were all defeated soldiers who had survived the Battle of Xiyang. As soon as they heard Zhu Biao's words Their reputation would make them frightened. Now they were unprepared and were killed by Zhu Biao and his cavalry. All the fighting spirit and will were gone. Escape became the only word in their minds. What's more, Taigu County's The city gates have been opened and the drawbridge has been lowered.
Zhang Yingxiang's wrong decision finally brought disaster to the five thousand reinforcements outside the city! The west city gate was opened and the suspension bridge was lowered, and all the reinforcements no longer wanted to fight for their lives.
The only 'goal' worth fighting for now is to escape——
If Zhang Yingying had listened to Ma Ling and Li Ji's advice just now to close the city gates tightly and ordered Liu Pei and Guan Sheng to line up their troops outside the city to resist the enemy, the 5,000 reinforcements might not have led to such chaos without a fight!
But it's too late to say anything now. The big mistake has been made, and the psychology of the five thousand reinforcements has undergone tremendous changes. If they had a choice, who would be willing to stay outside the city and wait for death? Now that the door is open, what are you delaying? Naturally, everyone wishes they could have a pair of extra wings and escape into the city earlier.
Liu Pei and Guan Sheng were still trying their best to suppress them, but they could only allow their personal guards to stand firm in the chaos. There were only two hundred people, how could they withstand the impact of the Han army's cavalry? ?
Both Liu Pei and Guan Sheng were not fools. When they saw that the situation was not good, they gave up their efforts and gave up their responsibilities as generals of an army. The road leading to the city gate.
Thousands of war horses were galloping, and iron hooves were beating. When Zhu Biao, who was in the lead, rushed into front of him with his horse and gun raised, no one of the thousands of soldiers dared to return a shot or a knife.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."
There was an endless stream of sounds of soldiers and armor being abandoned.
Looking at the groups of surrendering soldiers kneeling on the ground in front of the horse, Zhu Biao burst into a hearty laugh on his horse.
Upstairs in the west city of Taigu.
"Lord Governor!" Li Ji asked Zhang Yingying urgently for orders: "Hurry up and release the Qianjin Gate!"
"If we don't open the gate, we won't be able to hold it!" Ma Ling also said anxiously from the side.
"Alas!" Looking painfully at the black crowd of soldiers under the city, Zhang Xingxiang sighed, waved his hand and said, "Listen to my order and release the Thousand Jin Gate!"
"Quick!" Ma Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy for Zhang Ying to release the gate. Liu Pei was still outside. He stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and shouted to the small school next to him, "Quick! Go and release the gate quickly!"
"Quack...boom!"
The heavy Thousand Jin Gate, which actually weighed more than 10,000 kilograms, fell with a crash. The reinforcements crowded at the entrance of the city gate were immediately crushed to death and more than a dozen were scratched. The reinforcements who were blocked outside the city by the Thousand Jin Gate were even more angry. He kept slashing at the thousand-jin gate with his weapons and roared angrily: "Open the door, open the damn door quickly and let me in..."
In the governor's office.
When Ma Ling went to see Zhang Yingying again more than an hour later, Zhang Yingying had a few scratches on his face, but Ma Ling turned a blind eye.
"Sir, General Liu Pei and Guan Sheng were captured. Most of the rebels outside the city surrendered, and only more than 700 of the 5,000 reinforcements entered the city." The gloomy air on Zhang Xiang's face was as strong as the real thing. Ma Ling looked at it. After taking a quick look at it, I felt just as miserable psychologically. "I just saw the two of them on the Ximen Tower, but they were not mistreated by the Han army. In addition, the thief Zhu also sent a letter from outside the city, which said …”
Zhang Xingying felt a slight movement in his heart, but his expression was still uncertain, and he said coldly: "What did the letter say? Tell it truthfully."
Ma Ling said cautiously: "The letter said that Taigu City is now an isolated city, and all the external reinforcements have been wiped out. Moreover, Xiyang Shang was frightened, the heavenly troops were defeated, and there were no more reinforcements outside our city. The situation was already unstoppable. Please stop engaging in trapped beast fights, lest more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Taigu City be destroyed."
"A fight between trapped beasts? Both jade and stone will be burned to the ground?" Zhang Xiangying's cheek twitched. Zhongshan State has the support of the Tang Dynasty. How can it be a fight between trapped beasts, and both jade and stone will be burned? This word is more appropriate and correct to describe the Northern Han Dynasty. "Burn it and ignore it. ."
June 22. An urgent report was quickly delivered to Zhu Biao at the foot of Taigu City.
Two days ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty sent troops again. The 100,000 troops stationed in Xiyang were divided into two groups, with 40,000 troops going to Weizhong and 60,000 troops attacking Quzhou.
The king ordered Zhu Biao to resolve the battle in Yuzhou first and then return to Quzhou as soon as possible.
"To put it lightly, we should deal with Yuzhou first and return to Quzhou as soon as possible. Forty thousand Zhou troops are not 40,000 pigs. It's easier said than done!" Zhu Zhong followed Zhu Biao and went through the three-stone battle. What happened to Zhu Biao? He knew exactly who won that battle.
Such a dangerous and clever battle was due to the Zhou army's own carelessness, which led to the final victory. If that battle had failed, the Han army would still be huddled in Dashun Pass!
Zhu Biao's mind was now blank. How many people did he have in total? A thousand cavalry, and the Muzhou Army, which was exhausted and could not reach 15,000 troops. This number was even added to the new army recruited after the year. But what they have to deal with is the Taigu Army with a strong city in hand and the mighty 40,000 reinforcements. The strength comparison between the enemy and ourselves is 1:3. As Zhu Zhong said, winning this battle is easier said than done?
Under Guangyang City.
After more than a month of confrontation, the 100 steps outside the four city gates have been dyed reddish brown. Because there are tens of thousands of corpses of allied troops in the city lying on the ground, and the military strongholds outside the four city gates of the Han army are also Dark smoky colors intersect with stains of blood.
The Han army's camp, which had remained unchanged for more than a month, finally changed two days ago. Yun Zheng's and Li Xian's armies, together with the attached officers and men, totaling 10,000 soldiers, left the camp and headed south quickly.
They wanted to enter the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom first before the Zhou army reached the Han border and find a key point to block the Zhou army's front.
Because more than a month has passed, the siege of Guangyang City is entering its most critical moment. The food and grass in the city are about to run out. Moreover, it is summer and autumn, and the weather is hot. The coalition forces and tens of thousands of residents in the city have been imprisoned in Guangyang City. In a large place, if there is no reason for the epidemic, the Han army would not believe it.
Although some Han people in the city felt sad, thinking about the threat of tens of thousands of coalition troops, everyone from Sheng Tengfang to Beiping City had forgotten them intentionally or unintentionally.
The locust army in and out of Quzhou gave Yun Zheng and Li Xian the greatest help. Chariots, horses and oxen all marched forward. The 10,000 Han army was not faster than the Zhou army in getting up, but when they arrived at Honghuagang, they were even faster than the Zhou army.
In half a day, when the 60,000 Zhou army troops arrived at Honghuagang, a solid Han army camp had already been erected under Honghuagang.
Does Zhou Jun want to go there?
In the past, you have to smash the hard walnuts in front of you. If you don't want your hands to hurt, just take a detour. It's just an extra day's journey.
"I want them to take a detour, but I don't want them to take a detour. It really doesn't make sense at all!"
There were only two people on the watchtower, Li Xian and Yun Zheng. Li Xian said to Yun Zheng.
Zhou Jun's detour will definitely lower their morale, which is a good thing. But except for Honghuagang, there is no such good terrain in the next section of road.
If the Zhou army does not take a detour, then its 10,000 Han troops will be able to withstand the heavenly troops that are six times their size. How long can they hold on? Li Xian is confused!
"It's a pity that we don't have General Zhu's skills. Otherwise, if ten thousand troops were to kill them, they would kill every person on the other side and leave no trace of their armor..."
Yun Zheng put away the telescope in his hand, his eyes were cold and full of murderous intent.
No matter what "nasty" there was between him and Zhu Biao, Yun Zheng recognized Zhu Biao's illustrious military exploits. Looking at the 60,000-strong Zhou army in front of him, and thinking about the hard work of the Han court in the past six months before and after, he wished he could
Zhu Biao leaned over and reenacted the last battle of Xiyang. Killing all the Zhou troops in front of him!
Yuzhou, Jianyang County.
There are 40,000 Zhou troops in the city, 7,000 Han infantry and 1,000 Han cavalry below the city.
The fierce east wind blew the billowing battle flags. Different from the red shirts of the past, the Han troops who appeared in front of the Zhou army today were all dressed in white, and the military flags were also flying white flags.
What kind of drama is this?
Cao Guoan, General Zhaolie of the Zhou Army, who had just led his troops to Jianyang City, looked at the city with strange eyes. If the soldiers were not tired from marching, he would have already led his troops down to fight.
"As long as there are two more hours. Zhu Biao, my general will ask you to break your wings and leave the city!"
Cao Guoan was confident that the strength of the Han army was five times that of the Han army. In two hours, his 40,000 Zhou troops would be enough to wash away their fatigue and regain their energy. By then, if Zhu Biao was still under the city, he would have this piece of fat.
It’s done!
"Soldiers--" Zhu Biao's voice spread far away and reached the ears of the eight thousand Han troops, making it clear to everyone in the city.
"Do you know why I asked you to wear white robes? Do you know why I asked you to wear white flags?"
"Let me tell you! That's because my sect leader in the Northern Han Dynasty has died, and that's because we in the Northern Han Dynasty have to pay filial piety to our sect leader!"
Cao Guoan's face turned livid with relief. He looked at Zhu Biao in front of the people in the city with almost disbelief, "Madman, madman..." The leader of the Northern Han Dynasty died. Does he know what he is talking about? He knows
What do his words today mean? "Crazy, crazy -"
Not only Cao Guoan was like this, but the governor of Jianyang was also like this, and everyone in the city was like this.
There was a wave in the eight thousand Han army formation, but the wave soon returned to calm. Because the feeling of "all the world is my fault" burned in the hearts of the Han army soldiers, every Han army soldier clenched the weapons in their hands.

"Dead, dead, dead..." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
