Ma Wei never thought that there was actually an army hidden in this place. According to the news from Zhou Yantian, Qin Wei had led an army of 30,000 outside Guishan City. How could a surprise army appear? Ma Wei knew that Hukou Pass was still stationed.
He has a force led by General Yang Bo. However, Zhou Yantian has already deployed spies outside Hukou Pass. As soon as there are soldiers and horses in the pass leaving the pass, Zhou Yantian will notify him as quickly as possible.
Since it is not the garrison at Hukou Pass, Ma Wei thinks that it must not be Gelong's troops at Beiguankou. Gelong's men and horses are not many in the first place, and Beiguankou is the fortress where Tianqing enters Dafeng. That place must not be lost. Moreover,
Even if Ge Long's men and horses came to attack in a sneak attack, it would not be like this. Listening to the shouts of killing all over the mountains and plains, Ma Wei, who had been in the army for many years, closed his eyes and knew that there would definitely be no less than 15,000 troops.
"Quick, rush forward, rush out~!" Ma Wei shouted.
Since the back road was blocked and he was ambushed in the middle, Ma Wei was prepared to risk his life and lead his men to rush out. It would be better to survive as long as possible than to wipe out the whole army. But as soon as Ma Wei finished speaking, a troop of soldiers and horses in front were also killed.
come out.
The sky was slightly showing the light of dawn. Zhu Tianjiang and others stood on a high place, looking at the one-sided massacre below and could not help but be slightly moved. The poor famous general Ma Wei followed Zhou Yantian in the east and west expeditions, and he did not know how many battles he had to endure.
He survived the battle, but at this moment, one of his eyes was shot by Xia Qing's money dart, and then he was knocked down by Da Niu with a stick. Before Da Niu could make up for it, the Uzbek soldiers swarmed forward.
, Ma Wei suddenly died tragically under the knife and gun.
At dawn, the battle was coming to an end. Ma Wei's army was dead and wounded, and the remaining thousands became surrender soldiers. Zhou Yantian once laid an ambush halfway and seriously injured Wen Ruhai, and Zhu Tianjiang used the same method to destroy Ma Wei's troops.
Coba City's military strength. The difference is that Wen Ruhai was rescued by Qin Wei, but Ma Wei was helpless and died tragically in the chaos.
Zhu Tianjiang reorganized his troops and asked Zhan Ling and his master Lin Feng to escort the soldiers to Coba City. With the current strength of the remaining troops in Coba City, there was no choice but to surrender. Several hundred people did not even have the ability to defend.
Zhu Tianjiang, Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others led 10,000 soldiers and horses back to Guishan City again.
After getting rid of this poisonous fang in Coba City, Zhou Yantian was trapped in a lonely place. Zhu Tianjiang was afraid that he would hold him back before death, so he did not dare to be careless. After all, it was not clear how many troops Zhu Tianjiang had in Guishan City.
And Wen Ruhai's side did not have an absolute military advantage.
In Guishan City, Zhou Yantian felt more and more that something was wrong. Ge Han, the garrison guard of Guishan City, was already waiting for battle. He was just waiting for Ma Wei's troops to arrive before leading his troops to rush out. According to the estimated time, Ma Wei would
They should have arrived long ago, but there was no movement from the army outside, and Zhou Yantian couldn't help but become confused.
"Lu Yu, are you sure that the Dafeng Dynasty did not send reinforcements during this period?" Zhou Yantian felt a little uneasy and wanted to confirm again.
"Uncle Guo, Lu Yu dares to guarantee with his life that not a single soldier in Hukou Pass will leave the pass again." Lu Yu replied with a serious look on his face.
Zhou Yantian wiped his beard with his hand and frowned, "Immediately send a message to Coba City and ask how long Ma Wei has been out. If he hasn't come out, I think this guy should report the situation."
Just as Lu Yu was about to walk down the city wall, he heard a soldier on the sentry tower shout loudly, "Report to the garrison master, a large army has appeared behind Dafeng's troops."
When Zhou Yantian and others heard this, they felt happy. Ge Han quickly shouted, "Take a closer look, are the two sides starting to fight?"
Those selected as observation posts were all so-called 'Eagle Eyes', whose eyesight could see farther than ordinary people. However, when this sentry saw the situation clearly, his heart went cold.
"Sir, it looks like they are coming from Dafeng's troops!"
"What! Dafeng's soldiers and horses?" Zhou Yantian's eyes widened and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Everyone hurriedly stood on the city gate and looked outside the city. It was already dawn, and the situation of Wen Ruhai's army was very clear, and there was no sign of chaos at all.
"It's over, Ma Wei's life is over!" Zhou Yantian said sadly and angrily.
Lu Yu had cold sweat breaking out on his head. Since the reinforcements came from Dafeng, it meant that his intelligence was wrong. If Ma Wei's army was really eaten, Zhou Yantian would probably hold him accountable in anger.
Among Wen Ruhai's army, a team of about 500 people slowly arrived 200 meters away from the city. The team was surrounded by a carriage, and a young man stood on the carriage.
Zhu Daguanren looked at the row of heads emerging from the city wall and reached out to grab the big loudspeaker that was necessary for traveling.
"Zhou Yantian, you don't need to wait for Ma Wei anymore. Coba City has been owned by me. Oh, by the way, we were a little far apart last time in the capital. Maybe you don't know who I am. Listen up, my surname is Zhu Mingtian
Jiang, I guess this name is familiar to you. In addition, let me tell you that the 20,000 soldiers and horses you sent to Tianqing were also collected by me. The soldiers and horses who killed Ma Wei today were your former allies.
The Uzbek army.”
Zhu Tianjiang looked very angry and wanted to kill Zhou Yantian with his words.
The officers and soldiers on the city wall turned pale when they heard this, and Zhou Yantian trembled all over after hearing this. He really didn't expect that this young man was the famous Zhu Tianjiang, let alone that it was the Wu people who stabbed him in the back.
"Zhu Tianjiang, you little boy, I will cut you into pieces. If you kill Xuan Ming, even Emperor Chengwu won't be able to spare you!" Zhou Yantian pointed at Zhu Tianjiang and cursed angrily in a hoarse voice.
.
"Old man, you don't need to worry about this. You should think about yourself. If you can, open the city gate and fight me to the death. Otherwise, sooner or later, I will break open your turtle shell."
Zhou Yantian couldn't stand any longer, pointed at the city and shouted in a hissing voice, "Fire arrows~shoot~shoot him to death for me!"
A shower of arrows shot out from the city wall, but Zhu Tianjiang's position was beyond the distance of the bow and arrow. Amidst the roar of laughter, more than 500 people surrounded Zhu Tianjiang and returned to the military formation.
Zhu Tianjiang ordered the army to retreat five miles and set up camp. This is the rule of marching and fighting. The camp must not be placed at the gate of another city. In that case, unless the battle is to be resolved in a short time. In other words, it is with an absolute advantage.
troops to carry out siege. Otherwise, we must always be prepared for a sudden attack of troops from the city to attack the camp. Once the army is deployed, it cannot always maintain an attacking formation. Leave a distance of five miles, and you can face any unexpected situation.
Respond promptly.
In the big tent, Wen Ruhai sat on a chair covered with a thick quilt, looking at Zhu Tianjiang with a smile. Killing Ma Wei in Coba City was a revenge, Qin Wei, Fan Rong and others
People are even more happy.
"Tian Jiang, what should we do next? The walls of Guishan City are high and tightly guarded. If we fight hard, the damage will be very serious." Wen Ruhai had already handed over the military power to Zhu Tian Jiang, but he still had to think about his own ideas.
Say it.
After hearing this, Qin Wei agreed very much and said, "Master Zhu, Guishan City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The most annoying thing is that the army cannot go around from both sides. In this way, Zhou Yantian can deploy all his troops at the city gate.
There is no need to defend other places at all. What Wen Shuai and I originally envisioned was to press in with our troops and deal with Guishan City with absolute force. However, after on-site inspections, Wen Shuai and I gave up this plan. Wen Shuai had no choice but to order the army to sweep across other cities.
Finally, we’ll deal with Guishan City.”
Zhu Tianjiang nodded and looked at the generals, "Don't worry, everyone. Fighting people head-on is not my Zhu Tianjiang style of fighting. Besides, we can't afford to fight in such dangerous terrain. The casualty rate is too high.
.I have ordered Zhu Yi and the others to explore the canyons on both sides again to see if there is any other way to enter the city. Wait and see, don't rush."
Zhu Tianjiang really has no good solution at the moment. He has ordered Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and Zhu Er to lead a small team each to carefully explore the nearby terrain. Even if the large group of people cannot enter the city from the canyons on both sides, Zhu Tianjiang believes that Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others
It is not difficult to enter the city based on one's personal abilities. Moreover, Zhu Er sent Anzi to enter Guishan City two months ago. Now is the time to unleash their potential.
In Guishan City, Zhou Yantian was sitting in the hall of the Commander's Mansion. All the generals under his command lowered their heads and no one dared to speak.
The deaths of Xuan Ming and Ma Wei made them feel as if a heavy stone was weighing on their hearts. It wasn't that Xuan Ming and Ma Wei were so missed, but Zhu Tianjiang's horrific methods made them terrified.
Zhou Yantian sighed, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, "Why, everyone is frightened by Zhu Tianjiang? Haha, I have been in the battlefield for decades, what kind of scene have I never seen? Don't look at Zhu Tianjiang
Jiang is now proud and wants to capture my Guishan City, but he doesn't have the ability yet. Everyone, sit down, since it is a war, there are no immortals. I am also heartbroken about the loss of General Ma Wei, although Zhu Tianjiang took the initiative,
But who will cry next depends on everyone sitting here."
Zhou Yantian has experienced so many ups and downs, and he understands that now is not the time to sigh. What his generals need is a strong coach. Even though Zhou Yantian is a little afraid in his heart, he cannot show it.
Seeing that Zhou Yantian could still smile at this time, everyone was relieved a lot. As long as Zhou Yantian didn't fall, they had hope. These people were afraid that Zhou Yantian couldn't bear his anger. If he fell down at such an old age, he would get up.
Not coming. Besides, they are all 'rebels' from the Dafeng Dynasty. Even if they surrender, I'm afraid Emperor Chengwu will not give them a way to survive.
"Don't worry, everyone. My Guishan City is made of iron. No one can pry open the door. Moreover, there is a secret passage in and out of the canyon behind the city. Even if Zhu Tianjiang wants to trap us to death, he doesn't have the ability."
After saying this, Zhou Yantian paused for a moment and then said, "Zhu Tianjiang is indeed quite capable, and I admire this young man very much. However, he knows how to fight, but not how to behave. Don't you know that he has achieved great things at such a young age?"
Such a great contribution will be punished by God. I know Emperor Chengwu very well. For the sake of the Li family, Emperor Chengwu will never let Zhu Tianjiang live. Otherwise, no one can suppress him. Back then
The old man sent Xuan Ming to Tianqing, so he laid a secret move for Zhu Tianjiang. Even though Xuan Ming was dead, he was an invisible sword. Lu Yu immediately sent an order to Zhuo Xing of the capital to secretly sneak back to the capital and re-enter the capital.
Lead the spies in the capital. In addition, the spies in the capital were ordered to immediately spread the news, saying that Zhu Tianjiang killed Xuan Ming with his own hands. Moreover, they made a big deal that Wen Ruhai's army had sworn allegiance to Zhu Tianjiang and was preparing to establish himself as king outside the pass."
After Zhou Yantian finished speaking, he wrapped himself in a wolf-skin cloak, with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Zhou Yantian is cunning and cunning, and he said in his heart that I can't beat you in a war, but Zhu Tianjiang is a little too young for conspiracy. Talented people are often envied behind their backs, and there are many officials in the capital who hate Zhu Tianjiang. As soon as this news is released, Zhou Yantian
Tian believes that someone will definitely remind Emperor Chengwu. With Emperor Chengwu's suspicious personality, I am afraid that Zhu Tianjiang will be ordered to return to the capital soon. As long as Zhu Tianjiang leaves, Wen Ruhai and others will not care at all.
In Zhou Yantian's eyes.
Zhou Yantian is planning to play tricks with Zhu Tianjiang. After all, Zhu Tianjiang is not an independent prince, and he has Emperor Dafeng above him. Zhou Yantian must use the hands of Emperor Chengwu to eradicate Zhu Tianjiang, the root of the problem.
