Chapter 52: Zhao Ren's Plan
It has been an hour since the battle began, and two of Zhao Ren's three camps have been broken. The bandits who fled to the third camp brought back the news to Zhao Ren, and looked at Zhao Ren, who was speechless, and their hearts were very worried.
Zhao Ren has been in the bandit circle for many years, and from the very beginning, he has been rushing to Zhao'an.
When he was in Nanshan, he proposed to Han Xiong, saying that the time had come, and the government would come to recruit An, and we could agree.
But Han Xiong was more greedy, he thought that the scale of the Nanshan thieves was not too large, and they needed to grow a little more to be able to reap more benefits.
So Zhao Ren secretly made up his mind to kill Han Xiong as a vote to the government.
After that, Zhao Ren was preparing for a long time, and at this time, Tang Ning came to Nanshanzhai.
Since meeting Tang Ning, Zhao Ren felt that his satisfactory life had changed all of a sudden.
First, he was defeated and fled in the civil strife that was still being planned, and then he hid his identity and wanted to return to Nanshan to regroup. As a result, Tang Ning saw through this, notified Zhizhou, and sent officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress him.
That time, he fled in a hurry, and he made up his mind to get rid of Tang Ning as soon as possible.
After that, he stayed away from Runzhou and put aside the hatred in his heart for the time being. Feel at ease the development of forces and make yourself stronger. Just as he was about to turn around and take revenge, he heard that Tang Ning already had an army of several thousand people under his hands.
At that time, Zhao Ren was thinking about what the hell is this thing called? I feel that I am enough of the protagonist, but I didn't expect this kid to be more protagonist than myself.
So Zhao Ren dived into continuing to develop his own power, and finally when he felt that he could fight, he heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that there was a man named Tang Killing Star who killed the bandits when he saw them, and left no one behind. He has an army of great power, and he is not well equipped.
You can't beat it, but you can't run it.
As soon as Zhao Ren heard this, he dispelled his idea of revenge. He thought of a good way, that is, to let himself accept Zhao'an, so that he could also become a glorious official of the Great Song Dynasty.
No longer compete with Downing like a barbarian, but use the way of civilized people to fight each other.
So he kept developing his own power, and finally he became the overlord of the two Huai. However, along the way, no one has ever recruited him.
Just as Zhao Ren was about to turn himself in, he met a man surnamed Meng.
He made a condition that he couldn't refuse, that is, he would help him and promote Zhao'an, but only if he wanted to help the Meng family make something in Huaixi.
Zhao Ren readily agreed, but no matter how clever and cunning he was, he was not the opponent of those people in Kaifeng Mansion after all. He didn't realize that such a thing would lead him into an abyss from which he would never recover.
Sitting in his seat, Zhao Ren closed his eyes and recalled half of his life.
Every now and then, he felt a dull pain in his back, where there used to be a dozen arrows embedded in his body.
"King! What now! ”
"What else can I do?" Zhao Ren covered his shoulder with one hand, stood up and sneered: "I can only fight with them, isn't it?" ”
“……”
………………
When the other two camps were breached, Liu Ling's side was in an embarrassment.
As I said before, Liu Ling's biggest problem is the lack of manpower and equipment. More than half a month ago, Liu Ling still had a few catapults and a few eight-bull crossbows in his hands.
But then someone was found to organize a surprise attack, and the officers and soldiers on the side of the catapult and the catapult fled in confusion in fear of the bandits who were not afraid of death, and the bandits blew up the catapult and the catapult one by one.
And the camp that Liu Ling chose by himself coincidentally was Zhao Ren's main village. The strength of the troops and the strength of the defense are not comparable to the other two camps.
As a result, the soldiers were frustrated and did not dare to advance. And the heroes of the rivers and lakes are not willing to be the first to rush forward.
The scene was very embarrassing for a while, and the two sides had to stay away and open their voices to scold each other.
This situation lasted until the Divine Submarine swept through another camp and rushed over, and with the Divine Submarine attracting attention, the rabble on Liu Ling's side had the courage to rush forward.
However, just as they swarmed up, the gate of the village suddenly opened. The bandits in the village rushed out, shouting and killing the rabble led by Liu Ling.
Liu Ling and the martial arts officials are naturally not afraid, and the dart masters of the Danyang Dart Bureau will not flinch.
After all, they still want to get Zhao Ren's disposal right after the war, if they retreat here, wouldn't it make Liu Ling look down on these people?
Therefore, even though they were a little frightened in their hearts, they still rushed forward.
Before the two sides engaged, the bandits simply threw a powder bag over. Seeing this, Liu Ling hurriedly shouted and fell down, and then he covered his ears and lay on the ground.
The gunpowder bag exploded, and the soldiers who had just rushed up with everyone began to have some thoughts of retreating.
Liu Ling got up with a skelet, carried a spear in his hand, and went straight into the enemy formation.
"Liu's business!" Wu Sheng shouted and rushed in with a knife.
The two sides engaged in an instant, and the whole battle situation was extremely chaotic.
When Shenqian saw the battle halfway up the hill, he called Wu Dazhuang and asked him to divide his troops into six hundred and go to support.
Wu Dazhuang received the order and hurriedly ordered six hundred people. I was about to bypass the bandit camp in front of me to support, but I suddenly felt that I couldn't walk halfway.
When I looked down, I saw that a hand had reached out from under the ground and grabbed my ankle.
Wu Dazhuang was frightened
The soul was scattered, and he actually jumped. And this jump was also a coincidence. As soon as he was grabbed by the ankle, the man thought about cutting off his leg directly. However, this jump brought the man out directly.
I have to say that Wu Dazhuang is really responsible for the luck of the Wujin Battalion, this guy has not had bad luck since he joined the Zhenjiang Army. On the way to charge, the arrows avoided him.
Wu Dazhuang woke up instantly after bringing the man out, and hurriedly shouted: "There is an ambush under your feet!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a group of bandits suddenly came out of the ground. A rough estimate of the number is about four or five hundred.
Wu Dazhuang was horrified in his heart, the information he got before the war was that the people in the three camps together would not exceed 3,000, could it be said that this was false information? Or was it the enemy's commander who hid his troops and the scouts failed to find out?
But now was obviously not the time to think about these things, Wu Dazhuang immediately pulled out his knife and cut off the head of the person who was grabbing his ankle. Then he shouted, "Kill! He led a group of Zhenjiang soldiers to stand in a group with the bandits who came out of the ground.
At the same time, in Zhao Ren's camp, a small soldier was making a detailed report.
"My lord, now the enemy has two lines of soldiers and horses being dragged by us, and there is still one way to come."
"How many more brethren can fight?"
"About 1,200 people, my lord."
"That's enough, take them with you, let's go out from the west gate immediately, hurry up and ambush on the side of the road, and try to eat the officers and soldiers who rushed over there!"
"But...... But the king, that's not a box soldier, that's the Zhenjiang army......"
"Alas, that's what I said......" Zhao Ren nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Then go out from the West Gate, and then go around to the back and eat that group of soldiers!"
You can't just sit and wait in the stockade with your hands, and you will also go out with you! ”
"Yes! King! ”
As soon as Zhao Ren gave the order, the camp began to become busy.
Twelve hundred bandits slipped out of the deserted West Gate and hurried all the way to the rear battlefield.
Only 300 people were left in the camp to defend the attack of the Wujin camp, but it could not last long with 300 people alone.
Zhao Ren's decision is to grab food from the tiger's mouth and grab time from under Shenqian's hands.
Once Downing arrives on the battlefield, he remains in the camp and will be at an embattled disadvantage. At that point, he couldn't move no matter what, and he had to be caught.
But now, if the battlefield in the rear is cleared, the situation will be reversed. Zhao Ren had the leeway to attack and retreat. If he can't defeat the Zhenjiang army, he can still choose to retreat.
Looking at his subordinates, Zhao Ren's heart was full of fighting spirit.
Tangning, I don't know if you little bastard has come. It's been a lot of years, and I really want you to think about it!
