Chapter 199: The Battle of Wuzhou II

If anyone sees the current Zhang Xuan. I don't know you anymore.

If Zhang Xuan was the son of Xun Shijia before, now Zhang Xuan is a beggar.

The whole person has lost weight, almost out of shape, and the face that was originally a little round and wants to be fat has also become sharp-beaked monkey gills. Not to mention unkempt, most people can't recognize this person as Zhang Xuan.

In just a few days, Zhang Xuan has passed his most difficult period.

In the mountains, there was a shortage of food, and he used wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger, and even killed a lot of war horses before he came out.

The more difficult the time, the more Zhang Xuan has to lead by example, in order to unite the army's heart, Zhang Xuan has always adhered to the principle that if the soldiers do not drink water first, Zhang Xuan will not drink water, and if the soldiers do not eat first, Zhang Xuan will not blow the rice. But in the case of insufficient supplies of all supplies.

Zhang Xuan couldn't guarantee food in the army at all.

Therefore, three meals a day also became two meals a day, and finally even one meal a day. And Zhang Xuan has not eaten a bite for two days.

That is, Zhang Xuan is like this. When there were all kinds of difficulties in the march. Only to persevere, although some people had all kinds of accidents in the mountains because of the southward journey of the mountain road, but there were not many complaints in the army.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan quietly listened to the report of the scout above, and although his tone was weak, it carried a categorical meaning. said: "How much food is there in the army?" ”

Zheng Lian said: "No. Not at all. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Kill ten horses." Divide it among all. ”

"Yes." Zheng Lian said.

A few stubbornly grabbed the horse's mouth to prevent him from calling, and then stabbed down with tears, and the horse's blood gushed and fell to the ground instantly. Zhang Xuan came to the horse corpse and looked at everyone. I saw that among the thousands of people, many of them were like Zhang Xuan, as if they were a wild man.

However, the suffering did not wear down their morale, and there was murderous energy in one look, like a group of down-and-out wolves. Although down, the claws are still there.

Zhang Xuan's voice was not loud, as if he couldn't shout because of hunger. But the Yaqi present was silent, although Zhang Xuan's voice was not loud, but it could also reach everyone's ears. Zhang Xuan said: "The defeat of the Li River is the worst defeat since I joined the army. For the past few days, I have been unable to sleep every night, and all I think about is the word revenge. Today's opportunity has come. Qu Shiyun is a few miles to the south. The onslaught on Wuzhou City was a great opportunity to assault Qu Shiyun. Today I will kill horses for food, so that you will have a full meal, and follow me to avenge your hatred. ”

Immediately, Zhang Xuan pulled out a dagger from his waist and scraped off a piece of meat on the war horse. It's already so close to the battlefield that you can't live at all. Therefore, he could only eat it raw, Zhang Xuan grabbed the piece of meat, swallowed it hard, and ate his mouth full of blood.

Zhang Xuan didn't feel what raw horse meat tasted like, but Zhang Xuan felt what hatred tasted like.

For the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and even Emperor Longwu and others, although Zhang Xuan wanted to kill him quickly, he didn't have much hatred, but he really hated Qu Shiyun at the moment, and he wanted to kill him quickly, his hero, my enemy. Sure enough.

The soldiers below ate a lot of horse meat one by one. One by one, like Zhang Xuan, his mouth was full of blood. There was a fierce light in his eyes.

At the moment, it was as if they were not an army, but an organized beast.

Zhang Xuan gave an order, killed from the north, and went straight to the location of the Qu Shiyun camp.

When Zhang Xuan's troops rushed out of the mountains, they were immediately discovered by the Ming army.

But Zhang Xuan has been preparing for a long time, and he has fought fast and fiercely, even if they find out, what can they do? I can't stop it at all. Seeing this, Qu Shiyun hurriedly ordered Jiao Lian and Chen Youlong's two cavalry to kill them.

Thousands of cavalry were on the narrow plains, fighting back and forth.

Desperately hating a hatred in his heart, Zhang Xuan's department had the upper hand at the beginning.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanhai, the head of the city, was overjoyed, and without saying a word, he ordered: "Open the city and attack the thieves." ”

He sent out all the 3,000 soldiers of a battalion in Wuzhou City, along with himself. almost came out of the empty city, and Hu Yiqing was caught off guard. Hu Yiqing's department was in a state of fire in the backyard, and the army's morale was unstable, and it collapsed in an instant. Countless soldiers turned around and left.

Zhang Yuanhai took his guards, but about 100 horsemen, rushed into the cavalry, came to Zhang Xuan's side, saw Zhang Xuan's current appearance, his eyes were red, almost tears, and said: "Meet the general." ”

Zhang Xuan's voice couldn't get better for a while, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I'm very good, what kind of cat urine are you bleeding, who is there in Wuzhou City now?" ”

Zhang Yuanhai said: "In Wuzhou City, it is almost empty, and the soldiers of Wuzhou have gone out of the city to fight thieves?" ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Why are you doing things so roughly, what if there is a mistake in Wuzhou City?" ”

Zhang Yuanhai said: "Ten Wuzhou cities are not as important as the safety of the general. As long as the general is safe, this Wuzhou city will be lost if it is lost. ”

Zhang Xuan could tell that Zhang Yuanhai was patting on the back, but when he heard it in his ears, it was comfortable, and he sighed and said, "Give the order to go down and collect the troops." The whole army withdrew into the city of Wuzhou. ”

It was not that Zhang Xuan was soft-hearted, nor that Zhang Xuan was worried about Wuzhou City, but that Zhang Xuan knew the strength of the soldiers under his command.

If it was after the Battle of the Li River, under such an ambush, Zhang Xuan would definitely be able to defeat Qu Shiyun. But now, after trekking through the mountains, everyone is exhausted. Only with a breath of revenge can there be such power.

But it doesn't last.

If you don't take it down, it will take a long time. If you can't say it, you can't support it.

After Zhang Xuan ordered the troops to be collected. Luo Dai, who was killing Zhenghuan in front, was very unhappy when he heard this, pulled out his horse and came to Zhang Xuan's side, and said loudly: "General, what do you mean by this?" This is a great time for revenge, so why let Qu Shi go? ”

Luo Dai could barely control his feelings.

In fact, Zhang Xuan also knew that in the battle of the Li River, the biggest loss was Luo Dai. Luo Dai didn't seem to care, and was silent a lot along the way, barely talking much. You must know that dying on the west bank of the Li River is of course Hao Shaoqi's department, but these people are essentially Luo Dai's old subordinates.

How could Luo Dai not care.

However, Luo Dai has a lot of experience in following Luo Rucai, and he has seen a lot of wins and losses, and he has fought a lot of big defeats. Today's defeat was nothing years ago. Although it was a little uncomfortable, it quickly adjusted.

It was also Zhang Xuan who did not go through the original rebellion, and the rebel army was defeated again and again by the official army. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have both lost their armor and fled in embarrassment.

Even so, Luo Dai had no shortage of thoughts of revenge in his heart. This fight was also the fiercest he charged.

Zhang Xuan said: "Do you see if they can still move?" ”

Luo Dai took a look, but found that many soldiers fell behind, and their faces were a little abnormally ruddy. Of course, Luo Dai knew that these soldiers were not in good condition, but he didn't want to be so bad, Luo Dai was strong in martial arts, not to mention innate divine power, but it was about the same. Therefore, it is not quite the same as the average person's feeling. And Zhang Xuan's physical strength is a little weaker than that of ordinary soldiers, and these feelings are especially obvious.

Zhang Xuan saw that Luo Dai didn't speak, and said: "There is a chance for revenge, and if there is a chance in the future, you must always protect your brothers." ”

"Okay." Luo Dai said: "I broke off. ”

Luo Dai had no opinion, and under the command of Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan's troops gradually distanced themselves from the Ming army. Under the cover of Luo Dai, he slowly entered Wuzhou City.

Qu Shiyun was still a little frightened at the moment.

Zhang Xuan grasped the time too well, and rushed too violently, almost rushing to more than 100 of Qu Shiyun's banner, and a stream of arrows grazed Qu Shiyun's ears. Although Qu Shiyun's expression remained unchanged, he was secretly sweating through his heavy clothes.

Qu Shiyun had never experienced such a scene. I was stunned for a moment. But it didn't take long to react.

These reactions were seen by the soldiers as a sign of Qu Shiyun's composure.

At this moment, Qu Shiyun saw the Xia army collecting troops, looked at Wuzhou City from a distance, and then looked at the frightened soldiers around him, and said secretly in his heart: "The soldiers have not been trained, so they can't use soldiers, Zhang Xuan returned to Wuzhou." This Wuzhou City can't be held after all. ”

He said with some interest: "Give the order to retreat." ”

The battle of Wuzhou City ended hastily.
