Chapter 713: A good move to cross the river and demolish the bridge
"Commander, look. // Visit to download txt novel // (Baidu search) Zhou Jun even dismantled the Thunderbolt car. It doesn't look like he is acting." Chen An pointed at Zhou Ying outside for Zhu Biao to see, although his face was forced
He was patient but still showed a hint of uncontrollable joy from time to time.
The military tent has been dismantled, the antlers and the horse have been dismantled, and now the thunder chariot has also been dismantled. It’s time to burn down the camp, right? Anyway, the fence is the same as the antlers and the horse. They are all made of wood, right?
Compared with the sophisticated and expensive siege equipment such as the Thunderbolt Chariot, it has no value in transporting it away.
Zhu Biao still doesn't know what happened in northern Texas, but he doubts whether the King of Tang took action, otherwise the Zhou army will not retreat easily. With a large number of cavalry in hand, the Song army has no possibility of breaking through.
The damage caused by the army is that even if they were besieged for a year and a half, they would still be nailed to the city and starve to death. It is impossible to disperse like this!
Chen An is right, Zhou Jun does not seem to be acting. If it is true, there must be external forces involved. And Song Jun can rely on it, especially in Dezhou, which can be helpful, not
Who could the King of Tang be?
"Monitor closely, keep an eye on me, don't relax for a moment." Zhu Biao did not dare to be careless and said to Chen An, "If there is any other news, report it immediately."
At noon, Chen An rushed directly to the governor's house and said, "Your Majesty, I wish you the best, the Zhou army has ordered the camp."
Zhu Biao was chatting at the dinner table. After King Song heard this, the former picked up the wine glass and continued to move it to his mouth without stopping, but the latter jumped up and rushed to the door in three steps and two steps at a time.
To the north, there was indeed billowing black smoke.
"Hahaha, hahaha..."
The King of Song's happy laughter rang out over the governor's mansion, and soon the entire Chengwu County was filled with cheers and laughter. Zhu Biao had expected this. Regardless of whether the Zhou army really withdrew or faked it, the camp was going to
He had a fever, so he was very calm.
"Sir, I want you to go and take a walk!" Ignoring the shouting people, Zhu Biao came to King Song's personal bodyguard and said.
"Don't dare to disobey orders when it's your duty." The Xiantian Grandmaster was very kind to Zhu Biao. He turned around and walked outside the room, whispered a few words in King Song's ear, and then galloped out of the city as soon as he showed his body.
He was going to inquire about the Zhou army. Zhu Biao did not send any scouts. The purpose of sending scouts at this time was simply to beat dogs with meat buns. Only a master of Qinggong and martial arts like him could accurately check the twenty or thirty miles around the county.
The scope of the authenticity of the traces left by the Zhou army's retreat.
But what surprised Zhu Biao was that in less than half an hour, the grandmaster returned to the governor's house like flying, followed closely by two handsome young masters.
"Huh?"
Looking at one of the faces, Zhu Biao frowned. Before the three of them landed in the courtyard, he walked down the steps. It seemed like a familiar face, a very close relationship, but he just couldn't remember seeing it there.
"Brother!" Zhu Cai'er's eyes filled with tears. She hadn't seen Zhu Biao for more than half a year. Before he even left, a clear voice came.
Zhu Biao clapped his hands and realized why it looked familiar to him. Isn't this one of the human skin masks he gave to his little sister?
Zhu Cai'er has taken off the mask on her face, her face is full of joy and joy.
"Little sister, why did you come to the Central Plains?" Zhu Biao was not unhappy, he was very happy, but then he was frightened by a bigger worry. There is a whole family, why is little sister here alone?
What was the reason that forced her to come all the way to the Central Plains to find herself?
Where are the rest of the family? Could it be that something big happened and only the younger sister escaped?
The last idea is extremely unlikely, but it is what Zhu Biao is most worried about. Right now, his first child is about to be born...
"It's disappointing. You can't give me a smile. Really. Can't I come to the Central Plains alone?"
Seeing her eldest brother whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Zhu Cai'er didn't hear a warm word. Instead, she was immediately greeted by Zhu Biao's shouts and questions. Her temper immediately came up. She pouted her mouth and said with a stern nose.
"Okay, no matter how big or small." He scratched the bridge of the little girl's nose with his finger, and Zhu Biao felt at ease. If the little girl still has serious thoughts, then the family must be safe.
The grandmaster on the side smiled slightly. He met these two people more than ten miles northeast of the city. At first, he thought they were spies of the Zhou army, but Song Yingzhu and Zhu Cai'er thought they were Zhou Jun's spies at first.
The masters of the army, the two sides had a simple battle. If the grandmaster hadn't been careful and noticed that the two men were dressed in Jianghu attire and showed mercy, they would have killed each other.
After saying this, the grandmaster was really shocked. He didn't even care about the investigation and immediately took the two of them back to the city.
Zhu Biao naturally thanked the master and said goodbye to King Song with a smile on his face. Taking Zhu Cai'er with him, Song Yingzhu returned to his residence. Song Yingzhu's identity was only confirmed after he got closer and smelled a familiar fragrance.
"Congratulations to Zhu Biao, congratulations to the coach..." Everyone knew that little sister Zhu Biao had traveled thousands of miles to come to the Central Plains to look for Zhu Biao. She must have something important to do. How could King Song and others go back to make light bulbs? They cupped their hands and congratulated Zhu Biao brother and sister on their reunion.
Only the grandmaster looked at Zhu Biao, his sister, and Song Yingzhu with a strange look on their backs. Could it be that more than one member of the Zhu family is a martial arts prodigy? Zhu Biao's little sister looks like she is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but her inner strength is as pure as fire.
, is superb in Qinggong. The man next to him is even more impressive. He is only 27 or 28 years old, but his strength is already at the top of the list. It is really impressive!
At this moment, the master thought of the two disciples who died along the way. They were also in their twenties and thirties. Not only were they better than Zhu Biao, but they were even worse than that man.
Returning to Zhu Biao's residence, the younger sister immediately told everything about her and Song Yingzhu's father's affairs.
They had been wandering outside the city for three days and could not find any time to come in. Song Yannan's time in January was really limited.
Song Yingzhu's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at Zhu Biao expectantly.
Zhu Biao smiled slightly after hearing this, "Don't worry, a little cold poison is nothing to worry about."
He reached out and took out a bottle of 'Fierce Yang Pills' from his arms. There were ten pills in total. They were elixirs comparable to the 'Nine Flower Jade Dew Pills', which had just appeared.
"This bottle of Fierce Yang Pill has masculine properties. As expected, it can cure the cold poison on my uncle's body. Besides, the Zhou army outside the city has evacuated, so I will set off to march north tomorrow. If uncle takes this Fierce Yang Pill, he will not be able to cure it.
After complete recovery, I will also send troops to northern Xinjiang at that time. I will just go to Yuyang again."
Song Yingzhu never thought about how Zhu Biao would have such a bottle of good medicine in his arms. He just took out the medicine bottle, pulled out the red plug, put the mouth of the bottle under his nose and smelled it, and the masculine energy flowed into his body along his nose.
.Although such a ray of yang energy was immediately eliminated by the yin energy in her body, Song Yingzhu also showed a bright smile on her face. She was extremely happy inside!
"There are three dragon fruits and one sun mushroom in Hedong, so you can rest easy. My uncle was really injured by the cold poison. Whether it's dragon fruit or sun mushroom, they are enough to eliminate the harm."
At the moment just now, Zhu Biao even wanted to directly manifest the "Nine Yang Divine Art" to ensure that Song Yannan would not be able to practice for a year. After the cold poison was gone, his strength could be improved to a higher level. But after thinking about it, he gave up.
I really can't let Zhu Biao rest assured.
Who knows if Song Yannan will send "Nine Yang Divine Art" directly to Qingyu Mountain.
Ten mid-level top-level Lieyang Pills are worth a lot of money. So go for it.
"What? Are you leaving now?"
"As my father continues to recover, my heart becomes restless. I have no time to waste time here with you. When you arrive in northern Xinjiang, come and look for me in the mountains behind Minghua Temple."
Quietly I left, just as quietly I came;
I waved my sleeves and took away only one vial.
Song Yingzhu left very neatly. He didn't leave for half an hour. He sat down and talked for a little more than two-quarters of an hour. Then he left again.
Zhu Cai'er laughed at Zhu Biao and clapped her hands and applauded Song Yingzhu, "Sister Liang's trick of crossing the river and destroying the bridge is really beautiful."
Zhu Cai'er, who was very good with Shan Yuping and very good with Song Yingzhu, never expressed an opinion on this matter except for despising Zhu Biao.
Shi Yuan and Shangguan Renqing supervised the Tang army's 200,000-strong counterattack against the Zhou army. In less than four days, they regained the lost territory of more than ten counties. Yiyang and Jijun were all lost at the beginning. Of course, the latter is still far away.
, the former Tang army had already counterattacked and reached the county seat.
However, as the Zhou army from Chengwu County marched northward and merged with the Zhou army from Dang Shigui's headquarters, the Tang army's dominance was quickly reversed.
Today, the Zhou and Tang armies are fighting fiercely at the junction of Fulong County and Yiyang County. The combined number of the two armies in the battle is 500,000.
Shi Yuan gave full play to his talents and formed an extremely rigorous formation. He was in the center and commanded, while Shangguan Renqing led the front army and was fighting to the death with the Zhou army.
"Report! Governor! The Zhou army's offensive is fierce, and our front army's arrows will be exhausted!" The former sergeant came to report on flying horses, but Shi Yuan did not respond. He had seen it a long time ago, and now the Zhou army has torn apart the Tang army's formation.
In the forest of guns, the two armies fell into a melee. From his point of view, whenever a hand-to-hand encounter occurs, and the side without crossbows behind them fights against the side with bows and crossbows behind them, sooner or later the former will be defeated.
But what can he do now?
Ji County fell, and the large amount of ordnance stored in the county by the Tang Army was all owned by the Zhou Army. Before he arrived in Dezhou, when he heard that Dezhou was turning to the right, he immediately sent troops to reinforce it, and a large number of ordnance with the army was also pulled behind.
We are still three or two days away from Texas.
In the past few days, there have been constant battles with the Zhou army. The armor and weapons are relatively good, but the crossbows and sharp arrows are really in short supply.
However, I just couldn't think of a way. Shi Yuan was thinking about countermeasures when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves from the side. The Tang soldiers in the main formation made a commotion and looked to the west. Thousands of Zhou army cavalry were galloping towards them!
Shi Yuan had nearly 50,000 cavalry in his hands, but these 50,000 cavalry were used by him to suppress the formation and were a trump card. He was unwilling to use them unless necessary.
At the moment, they just ordered 10,000 spearmen and shield soldiers on each side, 5,000 warriors with swords, shields and heavy armor, and 50,000 Youzhou cavalry behind them. It was a perfect match.
But what Shi Yuan didn't expect was that the Zhou army's cavalry that attacked from the flank was not large in number, but it was led by the Zhou army's fierce general Lei Kun.
The armored cavalry mentioned are extremely brave.
When the Tang army discovered that the people coming were not the light cavalry they thought, but heavy cavalry with men and horses wearing heavy armor, the three thousand heavy cavalry turned a blind eye to the spear points like a forest and rushed forward!
The Tang Army's heavy shields and spears on the flanks were considered elite, but as soon as they came face to face, they were dashed to pieces by the Zhou Army's heavy cavalry equipped with men and horses. It was of no use to rush forward with swords, shields and heavy steps. They only watched helplessly as the opponent stabbed the flank open.
The formation of the Tang army was in chaos for a while. The morale of the army was immediately shaken! Some people around Shiyuan suggested that he use cavalry to attack the Zhou army immediately, so that they could not continue to counterattack.
"I can't stand it any longer, Commander! The flanks are about to collapse, so the Chinese army should withdraw. If it's just a moment longer, the Chinese army will be in chaos!" said the general.
Shi Yuan turned a deaf ear. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of a general among the rebels. He went to Doujian, revealed his true colors, and fought hard with a moon-covering knife. Where the knife fell, blood and flesh flew everywhere! Who else could he be if he wasn't the general Wu Jie?
This was done deliberately to let the soldiers see him to boost morale!
It's just that the left wing has reached a situation where the general is going to fight with a sword. It is self-evident whether it is dangerous or not.
Gritting his teeth, Shi Yuan decided to give it a try. As the commander-in-chief of an army of 200,000, he had been in awe for several days. He did not want the Zhou army to suffer a huge defeat as soon as they counterattacked.
He took off his robe and smoothed the long beard on his chest, looked around at the generals and said, "Fulong is the gateway to Bozhou. If something goes wrong, I will die to atone for it! The only thing that matters today is death!"
"The Commander-in-Chief is the commander-in-chief of the army, and there is no room for error! If anything unexpected happens, your Majesty may lose a pillar!" The general grabbed Shi Yuan and urged him! As he spoke, the left wing was completely penetrated by the Zhou army's cavalry, and Lei Kun's front had already reached a point.
Refers to the main formation of the Chinese army!
An ant can still survive, let alone a human being? But Shi Yuan knew in his heart that the left wing was only penetrated by the Zhou army but not destroyed. If he could organize his own soldiers to withstand the impact of the Zhou army's heavy cavalry and stabilize the central army, he would have 50,000 cavalry in the rear.
, this battle is still to be fought.
But if 50,000 cavalry are released immediately, the center army retreats, and the front army cuts off the rear, the battle will be defeated and lost.
"I have made up my mind. You don't need to say anything else! Anyone who tries to persuade you to retreat will be killed immediately! Even if all our troops are killed here today, we can't retreat even one step!" After saying that, Shi Yuan ordered his own soldiers to fetch them.
He used the phoenix-mouth broadsword. The surrounding soldiers were encouraged by him, and the panicked sergeant recovered. At this moment, the Zhou army's cavalry that broke into the central army had already seen the governor's banner and rushed straight towards him!
The collision of human flesh and steel is really no match. The heavy cavalry of the Zhou army, which passed through the left flank of the Tang army and then entered the center of the army along the way, had high morale at this moment. They were shouting and shouting. Regardless of protection, they only focused on slashing and stabbing with their spears and swords.
"Kill!" the governor shouted, and the surrounding officers roared in response.
A school lieutenant took the lead in leading the heavy armor, sword and shield soldiers in the battalion to meet the charging Zhou army's heavy cavalry.
"What's happening! Enemy cavalry is also attacking on the right wing!" Just at this moment, the lookout soldiers' exclamations rang out from the lookout cart at the central military office. This exclamation made Shi Yuan and other generals tremble with fear!
Shi Yuan inserted his big sword into the ground, jumped up onto the chariot, and carried the cylinder with his hand a few times to get to a high place. He looked around and saw that there were two to three thousand heavy horsemen of the Zhou army galloping towards him from the right wing! The Chinese soldiers were supposed to be there.
The soldiers who finally mustered up the courage to follow their master and fight to the end were so frightened that they involuntarily began to escape!
There was a buzzing sound, and the morale of the soldiers was shaken.
Shi Yuan closed his eyes in pain, not because of the heavy cavalry of the Zhou army coming from the right wing, but because of the shaken military morale of the 100,000-strong Chinese army.
If the entire army can unite as one and unite as one, even if the Zhou army doubles in size and heavy cavalry attacks, they will not give in. But now...
He was still a step too late. He should have fought such a battle as soon as Zhou Jun's counterattack gained momentum. But he didn't. Instead, he started this battle when Zhou Jun succeeded in counterattacking several times and his morale was waxing and waning.
A decisive battle!
If you lose, the fault will be yours——
"Tell Maoyu that if there is any mistake on the right wing, I will chop off his head."
"Heavy armored soldiers with swords and shields come forward, personal soldiers come forward. Without military orders, anyone who dares to retreat without permission will be killed!" Shi Yuan jumped back on his horse, grabbed the phoenix-mouthed sword, his face was filled with perseverance.
"The cavalry lined up on the left and right, preparing to attack——"
The ordering soldier frantically waved the command flag in his hand, and Shi Yuan issued one after another military orders that were like burning a cauldron.
But the military situation was changing rapidly. Just when Shi Yuan decided to give it a try, a surprised cry rang out.
"Captain! Look! Reinforcements, our reinforcements -" Shi Yuan turned around quickly amidst the surprised roars of the lookout soldiers on the lookout car. When he looked around, he was shocked! He saw smoke rising from the northwest on the right wing.
Of course, Shi Yuan couldn't see clearly what kind of army was hidden under the rising dust and smoke, but the lookout soldiers could clearly see that they were clearly flying a large flag with the word "Tang" before they arrived. It was not a general's flag but a military flag!
The appearance of Lai Qi caught the heavy cavalry of the Zhou Army attacking the Tang Army's right wing by surprise, and they were in a dilemma for a while. They continued to attack, fearing that they would be spanked by Lai Qi; if they did not continue the attack, how could they get out of the battle immediately after they had already rushed in?
Dang Shikui was extremely decisive and immediately ordered the cavalry in his hands to attack to resolve the unexpected Tang Army cavalry.
The Zhou army's cavalry was dispatched, as were the Tang army's 50,000 cavalry. The Tang army's cavalry, which suddenly appeared on the battlefield, bypassed the Tang army's formation, rushed to the flank of the Zhou army, and launched a fierce attack!
There was a general who rushed at the front. This man was tall, riding on a maroon horse, and used an iron spear to break into the Zhou army's formation. He was like a tiger among sheep, galloping freely. He was extremely brave! The cavalry under his command,
They were all brave men. Although their number was only around 5,000, they crashed into the left wing of the Zhou army and severely reduced the offensive of the Zhou army's left wing in just a moment.
"It's the Youzhou Cavalry! Governor, it's our Youzhou Cavalry!" a general in the Tang Army shouted loudly.
"The man with the spear is the king's deputy commander, Gong Rui!" Another soldier shouted loudly.
Gong Rui? Shi Yuan naturally knows this person. But isn't he under Li Bin's account? Why did he come to Dezhou? Could it be that the king is afraid that I will make a mistake, so he specially sent him for reinforcements?
