Chapter 309: A Blockbuster
The 60,000 army was quickly assembled, Zhu Cang left 50,000 people to guard Nanyang City, and personally led 55,000 people to kill into Xiyang County, and more than 55,000 troops fought along the official road where the Tang army fled.
"They only have 30,000 men, and our army of 55,000 can be annihilated in one fell swoop! Hunt me down. ”
The Tang army threw off its armor and lured Zhu Cang to chase after him, which made Zhu Cang's army extremely excited, and at dusk, they had already chased and killed near Junyang County in one go.
In the Danshui, a convoy of hundreds of people was walking slowly, and a captain at the head was anxiously urging.
"Captain, why hasn't Zhu Cang come yet?" A soldier asked in a low voice.
"Who knows, anyway, we'll just slow down in the river as planned." The lieutenant said nonchalantly.
"Whoa."
When the convoy slowly reached the opposite bank, there was a shout of killing from behind, and after the captain turned his head to look, he saw that tens of thousands of troops suddenly swept in fiercely from the east, and Zhu Cang, who was at the front, kept shouting: "Kill!! ”
"Captain, the one who sent him to death is coming"
"Abandon all supplies and withdraw!" The lieutenant slashed a carriage with a single sword, rolled a box to the ground, sprinkled the money all over the ground, and then led everyone westward.
"King, it's all money." At this time, an adjutant general shouted excitedly, only to see hundreds of boxes opened one by one, and there were either gold or boxes of coins in them.
Zhu Cang's eyes showed a look of surprise, he grabbed a gold bar, and after taking a bite of it, he laughed and said, "This time I got rich."
"King, there are more than 100 boxes full of money here, why are there so few guards, and they flee without a fight, aren't they afraid of military law?" One lieutenant general suddenly worried.
Zhu Cang immediately reacted, this is indeed a problem, but after looking at the more than 100 boxes of money in front of him, he immediately looked greedily and said: "No matter, first carry the box to Junyang City, and then chase Tang Jun." ”
"Whoa."
At this moment, a soldier reported: "King, there are more than 10,000 Tang troops who have entered Nanyang City, Lu Congdian and Yan Chuchu Kaicheng surrendered, and Nanyang City fell!" ”
Zhu Cang was shocked, everything he had was hoarded in Nanyang City, Nanyang was lost, his army would be scattered because of the loss of supplies, Zhu Cang had already realized that he had been tricked, and he urgently ordered: "Take these boxes with you and withdraw immediately!" ”
"Whoa!"
Zhu Cang's soldiers immediately got into the carriage, brandished their whips and began to turn back, and then when they reached the center of the river, the horses slowed down, their steps seemed to be weak, and some even fell directly into the river.
"What's going on?" Zhu Cang was surprised.
"General, these horses have been poisoned, or give up the money!" The adjutant general's face was anxious.
"Bastard, when you get your wealth, how can you easily discard it and change horses immediately." Zhu Cang ordered.
On a high mountain on the opposite bank, Li Xiaogong, who was wearing silver armor, held a sword in his hand, looked at tens of thousands of people in chaos in the Danshui, and laughed loudly: "So greedy, it's like looking for death." ”
Before the words fell, only a loud rumbling sound was heard coming from upstream.
"Oh no, my lord!" The adjutant general's face was as earth-colored.
"Let's go!" Niu Cang was so frightened that he fled to the other side of the river.
I saw that the waves were coming very fast, like galloping horses, and in an instant they were already surging forward, and where they passed, Niu Cang's army was instantly swept in.
The raging flood swept in, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of troops disappeared without a trace.
Seeing the water gradually slowing down, Li Xiaogong breathed a sigh of relief, this time, in order to annihilate this devil army in one fell swoop, he wasted a lot of money, thinking of the scene that had just destroyed the world, even Li Xiaogong was also afraid for a while.
"Will ...... Checkmate. More than 50,000 people are over like this? One of the generals swallowed, frightened by the scene in front of him.
"Wrong! They are not human beings, they are a bunch of devils and beasts who eat human flesh for pleasure. After Li Xiaogong said this, his eyes were cold, if he did it again, he would do the same.
"Run, run." Zhu Cang trembled, beside him, there were only less than 3,000 soldiers and horses left, all of them soaked, and the surviving soldiers around him were still showing a little fear in their eyes, as well as their attachment to life
"Kill!"
At this time, tens of thousands of Tang troops were killed in the forest, and the rumbling war drums suddenly sounded from the front and back of the Niu Cang army, and Li Daozong led 20,000 troops to kill from all directions, shouting and killing shook the sky.
If it was before, Zhu Cang could still resist, but now there are only a few thousand frightened soldiers, and Zhu Cang's army was defeated after resisting for a while, but it was surrounded by the Tang Legion, the soldiers had nowhere to flee, and countless surrendered people.
Zhu Cang led hundreds of people to the north to fight a bloody way and defected to Wang Shichong. After Li Daozong confiscated Zhu Cangjun's weapon, he hunted it down in one go.
Civil wars are generally won after they are won, and they will not torture and kill prisoners, but Zhu Cang and his subordinates are not human, but a group of inhumane mad demons, they attack cities, kill people, eat human flesh, and then attack cities, kill people, and eat human flesh! Over the years, they have annihilated their humanity in such a continuous cycle, and such people should be executed at Ling Chi, and it is really cheap for them to be flooded and shot.
Li Xiaogong asked Li Daozong to lead an army of 20,000 to sit in Funiu Mountain at the intersection of Xiyang and Nanyang to prevent Wang Shichong from going south, and on the one hand sent a good news to Fangling, he immediately led an army of 30,000 to advance to Xiangyang County.
The Tang army's fierce offensive completely broke the balance in the south, first Zhu Cang planned in Xiyang Danshui, the main force was drowned by Li Xiaogong, and then Li Daozong ambushed Wang Qianshou who tried to seize Xiyang in Funiu Mountain.
Wang Qianshou is Wang Shichong's nephew, he led 20,000 troops to sit in Hongnong, after receiving Wang Shichong's order, the troops went out of Zhuyang Pass, killed to Xiyang Neixiang County, Li Daozong divided the 20,000 army into ten teams, so that two teams ambushed on the north bank of Xishui, one team lurked near Zhuyang Pass, and sent three teams to the south bank of Xishui. Wang Qianshou saw that there were few Tang soldiers, and felt that the Tang army was crushed and beaten by the Sui army, so he despised its combat ability. Li Daozong first engaged Zheng Jun. When the two sides were deadlocked, the ambushes on both sides of the river were killed, and the arrows flew sideways, ramming the enemy formation. The Zheng army was defeated by the Tang army and retreated. Wang Qianshou undressed and absconded, saved his life, ran back to Zhuyang Pass, and was killed into Zhuyang Pass, Li Daozong rectified and surrendered more than 13,000 people.
……
The Wensi Hall of Ziwei Palace was in a mess, with torn maps and kicked overturned shelves everywhere, as well as arrows scattered all over the ground, and even cracks on the desk that were split by knives, all of which showed that Wang Shichong was furious.
More than a dozen eunuchs carefully packed up the things on the ground, and after a while, Wang Shichong said in a cold voice: "Call the king of Zhao to see me!" ”
King Zhao is Wang Renze, and when he encounters a big event, the first thing he thinks of is this nephew.
Wang Shichong sat down and waved his hand, like chasing flies, and said to the eunuchs, "Get out!" ”
A group of eunuchs quickly retreated, Wang Shichong's monstrous anger came from Zhu Cang, this guy did not come to Luoyang for a long time when he presented the surrender letter, and only after the defeat did he think of surrendering himself, resulting in the complete fall of Xijiang and Nanyang in the south; Another reason is the fiasco of Wang Qianshou, not only the 20,000 army is gone, but also the Zhuyang Pass is lost, which means that the south gate of Hongnong is open and all this is caused by Zhu Cang, the bastard.
Wang Shichong thought of his flying misfortune, loss of soldiers, and loss of fortresses, how could he not be angry and rush to the crown, how could he not jump like thunder?
However, Wang Shichong has gradually calmed down at this time, although he does not want to accept these losses, he has to face the reality.
The territory he occupies is not dangerous to defend, Li Yuan can fight with Wang Shichong with all his strength, but Wang Shichong must take care of all directions, which is also the reason why Wang Shichong does not want to fight with Li Yuan, and now he can take out too few people and horses, not even a fraction of Li Yuan, because don't look at Li Yuan lost Guanzhong, but there are dozens of counties in Bashu, and there has been no war, and he can build a million army casually, which is not something that Wang Shichong can compete with alone.
Wang Shicheng immediately wrote a letter, called a personal soldier in, handed the letter to him, and said: "You go to Liangjun, give this letter to Li Mi, and tell Li Mi that Li Yuan is powerful, and it is not our side that can deal with it, I hope he can recognize the situation clearly, and don't finally achieve Li Yuan." ”
"Whoa!"
The soldier took the letter and hurried away, Wang Shichong waited for a while, frowned again and asked, "Why hasn't King Zhao arrived yet?" ”
"Qi Qi Sheng, King Zhao is waiting outside the hall!"
"Invite him in?"
After a while, Wang Ren hurriedly walked in and bowed: "See the saint!" ”
"Sit!"
"Thank you!" Wang Ren quickly glanced at the mess in the hall that had not yet been cleaned up, he understood the reason why Wang Shichong was in a bad mood at this time, and he also knew why Wang Shichong was looking for him.
Wang Shichong said: "You should also know what happened in the south, I want to ask your opinion on how to deal with Zhu Cang, a bastard." ”
Wang Ren was silent for a moment, frowned, and said: "Holy Lord, when Zhu Cang has a little strength, he is arrogant and arrogant, and he is called Zhenzheng, but in fact, he does his own thing. He is now defeated and lost, and there is no way out before he comes to the Holy Lord. It can be seen that this person is not really descending to my Da Zheng, and this person is worthless now, I hope to kill this man-eating demon king, and he must not let him tarnish my Da Zheng's innocence. ”
Wang Shichong sighed, "I also want to kill him, but I also want to use him to control Jing Xiang, I can't kill Zhu Cang at this time, but I have to reuse him." ”
Wang Ren understood that Wang Shichong didn't want to kill Zhu Cang, because when Wang Shichong was still an official in the Sui Dynasty, when he was ordered to quell the rebellion, he connived at the Jianghuai army to burn, kill and plunder, and slaughtered nearly 100,000 surrendered people in Jiangnan. Wang Shichong is a brutal person in his bones, what he values is Zhu Cang's cruelty, and now Jingxiang is afraid of Zhu Cang, as long as Zhu Cang leads his troops south, wherever he goes, the counties will definitely fall to the wind.
Although he understood what Wang Shichong meant, he still said: "Wouldn't killing Zhu Cang win the hearts of the people of Jingxiang better?" And Zhu Cang's reputation is too stinky, I'm worried that it will affect the saint, what if the people compare the saint with him? ”
"It's okay, after using Zhu Cang, it's not too late to kill it. This matter should not be brought up again. Wang Shichong said nonchalantly.
"Whoa!"
Wang Ren reluctantly agreed, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart. Luoyang now finally has a little popular support, if Zhu Cang, the cannibal demon king, is appointed, I am afraid that not only will not be able to scare the people of Jingzhou, but also make the hearts of Luoyang people float, if someone maliciously uses Zhu Cang to write articles, the Dazheng court will lose the people's hearts. But Wang Shichong has made up his mind, what about him?
