Chapter 853

Chapter 853

Hearing Shangguan Yuanrang's name, Wang Zhong, who was not far away, was frightened out of his wits. He had no ability, but at least he had self-knowledge. Even if ten of him were tied together, he couldn't defeat the most powerful general of the Feng Army.

Wang Zhong wanted to run away, but Shangguan Yuanrang's eyes were very sharp. He saw Wang Zhong, who was wearing spiritual armor and taking advantage of the chaos to run towards the town. Shangguan Yuanrang didn't recognize him, but since he could wear the spiritual armor, he could

In any case, most of the enemy troops were at the level of captains and above. Without thinking, he urged his horse to break through a bloody path and pursued Wang Zhong directly.

Wang Zhong had just taken a few steps, but Shangguan Yuanrang had already caught up with him. Using the inertia of his horse, he slashed down with the spiritual sword in his hand slanted over his shoulder.

Hearing that the evil wind behind him was not good, Wang Zhong realized that something was wrong and hurriedly returned his sword to block it.

A loud sound was heard in the helix of the ear. Shangguan Yuanrang's spiritual sword was slashing at Wang Zhong's spiritual sword. The force of this sword was so great that it directly smashed the spiritual sword into pieces. Wang Zhong flew like a kite with its string broken.

He went out and hit the wall of a small adobe house hard. With a loud bang, the wall broke and Wang Zhong also fell into the adobe house.

He struggled to stand up, but before he could get up, blood spurted out from his mouth. The bones in his body seemed to have fallen apart, and his arms were numb and numb. At this time, Wang Zhong simply didn't get up.

He lay on the ground with his eyes closed and pretended to be dead. This trick was indeed effective. Shangguan Yuanrang did not know his identity, so after slashing him away with a knife, he ignored him and turned his horse to kill other enemy soldiers.

The Zhen army that clung to the earthen wall was defeated by the Feng army. There were countless casualties, and only a few of them escaped back to the town.

The Feng Army did not stop for a moment. After capturing the earthen wall, they continued to advance into the town. At this point, it was no longer the Zhen Army that resisted the Feng Army, but the previously defeated Sichuan Army and the Reserve Army.

The Pingyuan Army rushed to the front and took the lead in fighting the enemy.

The tens of thousands of Sichuan and Zhenjun coalition forces could not form a neat formation. It was not that the regiment commander of the Sichuan army did not command, but that the reserve army did not listen to his command at all. These thirty or forty thousand people gathered together in a noisy manner. Not only did they become

The formation was out of order, and the formation of the Sichuan Army Corps was also crowded into chaos.

On the battlefield, your opponent will never give you a chance to arrange your troops carefully. If the battle formation is not good and the whole army is in chaos, it will only make the opponent more excited and charge faster. Soon, the phalanx of the Pingyuan Army will come forward.

.One side has battle formations, while the other side has no structure. The strength of the two armies is not at the same level at all.

Under the battle formation of the Pingyuan Army, the soldiers of the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Army fell to the ground in groups. At this time, the Pingyuan Army was like a harvester, running over the battle formation, leaving corpses all over the ground, piled up like mountains, and blood flowed.

Chenghe. The new recruits in the reserve force completely collapsed. For the new recruits, encountering such a battle for the first time on the battlefield is too cruel and impossible to adapt to.

The new soldiers were the first to be defeated. When the Sichuan Army mixed in with the new soldiers saw this, they were also defeated. They could not defeat the Pingyuan Army in a head-on battle. Now that they were defeated, the situation became even worse. A large number of Sichuan-Zhenlian soldiers who fled were overtaken by the Feng Army.

, chopped to the ground, and the battlefield turned into a big melee.

In the small town of Pingxiang, there are fighting and death everywhere. The shouts of killing merged with the screams, turning Pingxiang into a hell on earth with corpses everywhere. Hundreds or even thousands of Sichuan and Zhen coalition troops were killed by the wind.

The army was in a dead end and was surrounded by people. At this time, they wanted to surrender, but Feng Jun no longer accepted it. Regardless of whether the opponent put down their weapons or not, they would kill them all.

It didn't take long, and the battle was coming to an end. Pingxiang was still in chaos, but the fighting everywhere began to slowly decrease. The Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces could no longer be seen on the main streets of the town. There were only soldiers of the Feng Army and soldiers all over the ground.

's corpse.

Xiao Muqing and Liang Qi were inspecting the battlefield under the protection of many guards. At this time, a soldier came to report that about 20,000 Sichuan Zhen wounded soldiers were found in the enemy's camp and asked him what they should do with them.

Without waiting for Liang Qi to speak, Xiao Muqing said directly: "Leave no one alive, kill them all!"

"Wait!" As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Qi waved his hand and whispered: "The Zhen army can all be executed, but the Sichuan army must release them all."

"Why is this?"

Liang Qi smiled and said: "There is a saying in the art of war. If we unite, we will divide them. If we divide them, we will destroy them! We are cruel to the Sichuan and Zhen armies on one side, and kind on the other. We prefer one to the other. There will definitely be gaps between the officers and soldiers of the two armies, especially the Zhen army.

It is in our interest to be jealous."

Xiao Muqing nodded and said to himself that it made sense. Then he asked in confusion: "Then why not kill all the Sichuan Army and leave the Zhen Army behind?"

Liang Qi explained: "The Zhen Kingdom has no wise generals, likes to act impulsively, and is easily fooled, while the Sichuan Kingdom has many wise generals, and has too much self-control. Our approach of favoring one over the other may not be effective."

"Oh! That's it!" Xiao Muqing was happy. No wonder people say Liang Qi is a ghost. He is indeed a ghost!

According to Liang Qi's policy, the Feng army killed all the surrendered and wounded soldiers of the Zhen Kingdom, but kept the Sichuan soldiers. Those who were seriously injured were released on the spot, and the Feng Army who were slightly injured and not injured were disarmed and detained. In addition, the Sichuan and Zhen Kingdoms

A large amount of baggage and provisions were stored in Pingxiang. The wind army took away everything they could and set fire to what they couldn't take away.

In this battle, the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army launched a surprise attack on Pingxiang with lightning speed and achieved great success. Not only were the reserve forces of the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Army wiped out, but even the baggage and food were reduced to nothing.

It can be said that it was a heavy loss if it got into Feng Jun's pocket.

Another sneak attack by the Feng Army was in Lishan City, Gaochuan County, within the Feng Kingdom.

Ren Fang used Lishan as another logistics gathering point for his own army, and left 20,000 soldiers to garrison it. He thought it was foolproof, but as a result, the Western Border Army led by Zuo Shuang, who was lurking in Gaochuan County, suddenly rushed to Lishan City and fought with the people inside.

Twenty thousand defenders engaged in a fierce battle. When the battle reached a stalemate, the people in Lishan City suddenly rioted. In cooperation with the Feng army attacking the city outside, they rushed from the city towards the Sichuan army.

The Feng people were martial and the folk customs were strong. The people gathered in riots and the destructive power was astonishing. The Sichuan army's defense line began to become chaotic from the inside. The Feng army outside took the opportunity to step up their offensive and charged into the city in one go. The two sides started fighting again in the city.

Street fighting.

With the cooperation of the people of the Feng Kingdom, the 150,000-strong Western Army defeated the 20,000-strong Sichuan Army. In the end, only about 2,000 people escaped from the city. Even the general guarding the city was killed in the battle.

The defeat of Pingxiang was an extremely heavy blow to the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces, and the defeat of Lishan City undoubtedly made it worse. The originally complete and abundant logistical support of the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces was instantly wiped out, and the army of more than 600,000 people was wiped out.

, just the daily consumption of food and grass is an astronomical figure, without logistics, the results can be imagined, which also made the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces' original superiority gradually become passive.

However, the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces are not without good news. The only ones who have continuously reported good news are Li Cheng's troops.

The 150,000 Zhen army, headed by Li Cheng, supplemented by Gao Jun and Xun Xiao, broke into the hinterland of Feng Kingdom. It was like entering an uninhabited country. They fought and won consecutively, and no one could compete with them.

After this army left Chongcheng, they headed straight for Textile City.

The lord of the city, Zhou Lanye, had received the news that the city had been breached and that the enemy troops were coming towards the city. At this time, officials in the city suggested to Zhou Lan that they should abandon the city and lead the people in the city to evacuate to avoid the enemy.

of edge.

Zhou Lan accepted the suggestions of the officials, but only half of them. He only ordered the officials to lead the people to evacuate, but he did not leave himself, and left thousands of soldiers in the textile city behind to fight to the end.

The officials were puzzled. According to the news, the enemy army numbered 150,000, but we only had a few thousand troops. How could we possibly be able to defend it? Zhou Lan said to his officials: "My generals in Dafeng have never fled without a fight."

Yes, although I am a civil servant, I must not embarrass the civil servants of Dafeng. In this battle, I swear to live and die with the Textile City!"

Everyone was greatly moved by Zhou Lan's words. Many officials also wanted to stay, but Zhou Lan refused.

In the end, he only led 3,000 officers and soldiers of Fangcheng to stay in the city to set up defenses.

The speed of the Zhen army's advance is shocking. It takes two days to travel from the city to Fangcheng. It would take at least three or four days for an army of 150,000 to arrive, but the Zhen army only took more than one day.

He rushed to the gate of Textile City.

Without taking any rest, after arriving at Fangcheng, Li Cheng immediately ordered the entire army to attack the city.

The 150,000 Zhen Army had no reservations. After launching the attack, the entire army went up, and even the commander-in-chief Li Cheng personally went into battle. The Feng Army was brave, and the Zhen Army was equally brave. The Feng Army was determined to die, and all the soldiers of the Zhen Army

He never considered whether he could make it to the battlefield alive. The two sides fought fiercely, fighting to the death.

There were only more than 3,000 local troops in Fangcheng, but they held 150,000 Zhen troops outside the city for more than an hour. This made Li Cheng furious.

Seeing the fierce attack of the Feng army, the soldiers in front climbed up the ladder one by one, and then fell down one after another. He yelled and climbed the ladder himself.

Seeing the general like this, the Zhenjun soldiers below all seemed to be going crazy. People were shouting incessantly, ignoring the arrows, rolling logs, and hammering stones on the city, and just kept climbing up the city.

Fifteen thousand people fought for their lives, but the three thousand Feng Army could no longer withstand it. Soon, the Zhen Army broke through the Feng Army's defense line, climbed onto the city wall, and started a close hand-to-hand fight with the Feng Army.

The Feng army couldn't resist and retreated towards the city gate tower while fighting. When they retreated into the city gate tower, only about a hundred of the three thousand people were left.

After the fight reached this level, no one in the Feng army surrendered. Zhou Lan led more than a hundred remaining soldiers to retreat to the top of the city gate tower, slashing and killing the Zhen soldiers who climbed up.

At this time, the victory of the Zhen army was in hand, and Li Cheng felt much more relaxed. He no longer asked the soldiers to continue climbing the gate tower, but added firewood inside to prepare for the fire attack. Before the fire attack, he deliberately walked out of the crowd,

He raised his head and looked up at the city gate tower and asked, "Who is your general? Let him come out and talk to me."

Zhou Lan walked to the edge of the wall, lowered his head and looked down. Well, on both walls, there were soldiers and generals standing densely. They were so dark that they were like ants. He couldn't even count them. He took a deep breath.

In a loud tone, he said loudly: "This is Zhou Lan, the lord of Textile City. What does the enemy general have to say?"

"You commanded Shoucheng?" Li Cheng asked in disbelief.

"That's right!"

"Civil official?"

"That's right!"

"Haha——" Li Cheng laughed suddenly. There are many brave people among civil servants, so why not himself? He said sternly: "Zhou Lan, you are now in a desperate situation and can't fly. I pity you for being a talented person, so I advise you to surrender as soon as possible."

, as long as you are willing to surrender to Dazhen, I, Li Chengke, will guarantee your life with your head, and you will have a bright future and a life of wealth!"
