Chapter 231 is either dead or desperate

The Zheng army broke and fled in front, and the Tang army pursued fiercely in the rear. The horizontal knife fell, the knife flashed, and the blood splashed, but because the heavy rain was too heavy, the rain washed away the blood in an instant.

The Zheng soldiers who were left behind fell to the ground one by one, convulsing and falling. The sharp horizontal knife made of high manganese steel is really easy to use, the scimitar spear shaft or something will be broken with a knife, the leather armor or iron armor of Zheng Jun's soldiers, the high manganese steel horizontal knife is similar to a piece of tissue paper in front of it, and it will be opened with a knife.

The soldiers of the Tang Army, who were able to kill, were like beaters, spears, long ge, hook sickles, and spears were thrown at the court one after another, even if they ran faster than their teammates, they still inevitably ended up on the spot.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Tang Army were getting tighter and tighter, these Zheng soldiers also lost their helmets and abandoned their armor, lightened their loads, and accelerated their escape. And it was a very spectacular scene, tens of thousands of shirtless men, running fast in the rain.

Wang Renze ran at this time his legs were weak, his limbs were weak, there was no way, the armor on his body weighed more than 30 catties, the weight was enough, and the defense ability was naturally good, it can be said that Wang Renze's fine steel armor was only the Mingguang armor of the Tang Army's Modao Army, and he could basically ignore the shooting of bows and arrows.

There are pros and cons in everything, although the defense ability is good, but the weight is too heavy, and Wang Ren can't run after only running more than ten miles.

In desperation, I had to take off my armor as well.

Those Zheng soldiers who really couldn't run knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The fighting at the foot of the Beibi Mountain was earth-shattering, and Li Yuanji and Qu Tutong in the Beibi camp also received the report, but the scouts in the Beibi camp saw that they were all shirtless people tearing and killing in the rain, and they couldn't tell what was going on.

Qutu Channel: "Mobilize people and horses, kill to the ...... mountain"

Without waiting for Qu Tutong to finish speaking, Li Yuanji said in a strange manner: "Kill...... Who is General Qu Tu going to kill? ”

Qu Tu channel: "Of course it's to kill Zheng Jun!" ”

"Humph!" Li Yuanji sneered: "What if this is a big drama written and acted by Zheng Jun? Their purpose is to lure us down the mountain, and at this time, General Qu Tu is going down the mountain, I am afraid that they are in their hands! ”

"This ......" Qu Tutong thought about it, and the situation Li Yuanji said was not impossible. Now the remnants of the Tang army in the Beibi camp are no longer capable of breaking through Wang Renze's encirclement, but in the same way, Wang Renze is also not capable of attacking the Beibi camp, if Wang Renze pretends to create the illusion that the Tang army is coming to help and attract them down the mountain, once they get out of the camp, it will be difficult to come back.

Qu Tutong thought for a while and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, will the reinforcements sent by His Majesty arrive?" ”

"It's a wonderful idea, but it's never possible!" Li Yuanji said: "Now Luoyang is an open space, if our reinforcements come, there is no need to attack Wang Renze's camp at all, directly feint Luoyang, Wang Ren will inevitably collect troops back to Luoyang, and the siege of Bishan will be solved without a fight." What's more, can Chang'an City still send reinforcements? Even if Your Majesty wants to transfer troops to support, I'm afraid you will be powerless, and more importantly, Dou Jiande's more than 200,000 troops stormed Hedong, and the situation in Hedong is even more dangerous than ours here. ”

What Li Yuanji said is also the truth, although Qu Tutong was surrounded in Beibi Mountain, but the large army broke through or supported, it was impossible to do, but the pigeon Wang Ren had no way to stop it, in fact, two days ago, they also received Li Jiancheng on the bank of the Fen River, defeated Dou Jiande battle report, this battle Li Jiancheng beheaded Dou Jiande's army of about 5,000 people, wounded countless enemies.

Li Xiuning is worried about Li Shimin's safety, and at the same time worried about the safety of Li Xiaosi and Li Yuanji, after all, Li Jiancheng has four brothers and sisters, and Li Yuanji is the youngest.

Just when Qu Tutong ordered to strictly guard the camp gate and not to fight without authorization. Fang Xuanling said suddenly: "His Royal Highness King Qi, General Qu Tu, could it be that General Chen led his troops over?" ”

Li Yuanji said unceremoniously: "We also received news from General Chen last night, he was still blocked outside Yanshi City, how could it be possible in this half a day's work?" ”

At this moment, a soldier came and said, "Princess Pingyang is here!" ”

Li Yuanji laughed and said: "I knew that the third sister would come to save me, quickly open the camp and welcome the arrival of Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang!" ”

Qu Tu channel: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, I will personally lead a group of men and horses out of the city, and fight with Princess Pingyang's army inside and outside, even if I can't defeat Wang Renze, I have to push them back a few miles, so that Princess Pingyang can calmly go up the mountain......"

"No need!" Before Li Xiuning arrived, the voice arrived first. She then smiled and said, "At this time, the battle should be over, and General Chen's headquarters has already gone to attack Luoyang!" ”

……

Wang Renze finally ran to the city of Luoyang, but when he ran to the city of Luoyang, what he saw was not a closed city gate, nor a wide open city gate, but a dense crowd of soldiers, these soldiers were armed with inferior weapons, looking at Wang Renze murderously.

The soldiers next to Wang Renze, you look at me, and I look at you, and they all show smiles that are more ugly than crying. Now they can't run, and they don't want to run, Luoyang City is occupied by the enemy, and they fart, they tremble and kneel.

On April 21, the third year of Wude, more than 30,000 soldiers of the Heluo Right Army formed by Wang Shichong, from Wang Renze down, surrendered to Liu Tong and Xunxiang, the generals under Chen Ying, and at the same time, Liu Tong and Xunxiang occupied Luoyang City.

Originally, after Liu Tong and Xunxiang received Chen Ying's order, they immediately had a full meal for all men, women and children in the whole army and marched forward in the rain. In fact, Luokoucang was only more than thirty miles away from Luoyang City, and Liu Tong arrived in Luoyang earlier than Chen Ying.

If it was peacetime, Liu Tong would not have had the opportunity to get close to Luoyang City at all, and due to the poor sight of the heavy rain, Liu Tong and the six or seven thousand soldiers of the Liumin Army of the Xunxiang Institute easily approached Luoyang City instead. Just when Liu Tong and Xun Xiang were discussing how to break the city, they suddenly found that a large number of shirtless Zheng troops were rushing to Luoyang City.

Looking at these routs, Liu Tong and Xun Xiangxiang took it to heart, and they also let the miners and the soldiers of the Beiwei Army take off their armor and flock to Luoyang City with the routs shirtless. At this time, the Zheng army was actually in chaos, and no one paid attention to these routs at all, and Wang Xuanying also wanted to collect the rout troops under Wang Renze, and use the inventory armor and weapons in Luoyang City to arm an army of his own.

As a result, Liu Tong and Xunxiang had just poured into the city gate, and immediately attacked, and the ability of the Beiwei army to fight the chaos was quite strong, and took advantage of the chaotic battle, Xunxiang captured Wang Xuanying again.

These Zheng army routs, who had just fled to Luoyang City and had not had time to catch their breath, saw this situation and obediently put down their weapons.

Chen Ying was also very surprised, Luoyang City was actually taken down in this situation, but he was happy to see that it could reduce casualties, Chen Ying collected the rout, accepted the prisoners, and treated the wounded at the same time.

Chen Ying, who was busy, actually forgot to tell Li Shimin this huge news. When Chen Ying thought about it, Li Xiuning would definitely inform Li Shimin of the news, and Li Xiuning also thought that Chen Ying would inform Li Shimin of the news, but the result was good, whether it was Li Xiuning or Li Yuanji, no one including Qu Tutong reported the news to Li Shimin.

Finally, when it was dark, the heavy rain finally stopped.

Chen Ying's army took over the city defense of Luoyang, Chen Ying's army was strictly disciplined, Luoyang City was not destroyed by any chaotic soldiers, especially the entire palace, in Chen Ying's mind, Wang Shichong's small treasury should have a lot of money, he sent henchmen to interrogate Wang Xuanying and Wang Shichong's nephews and other core members in Luoyang City, while appeasing the people.

In this battle, Chen Ying's beheadings were not many, but more than 6,000 levels, which means that only one-fifth of Wang Renze's command was killed, and the entire army collapsed.

……

On the top of Longtan Mountain in Xin'an, deep in the dense forest, Hou Mo Chen Xu looked at Li Shimin's camp in the distance, and now the heavy rain has stopped, and the fog is hazy, as if Li Shimin's camp is shrouded in mist, Hou Mo Chen Xu's eyebrows are tightly locked, and his face is very heavy.

Because Hou Mo Chen Xu wanted to send charcoal to Li Shimin at the last moment, Hou Mo Chen Xu's Hou Mo Chen clan tribes that were transferred one after another were all hidden in the Longtan Valley.

Originally, this was the ambush site where Wang Shichong was preparing to ambush Li Shimin, but Li Shimin was not fooled, so this valley was ignored by Wang Shichong, but these days, in order to avoid being discovered by Wang Shichong, Hou Mo Chen Xu mobilized five or six hundred people from Hou Mo Chen's tribe, all of whom ate cold rice, swallowed dry food, drank raw water, and lived like beggars.

Even Hou Mo Chen Xu himself, a strong military uniform, has been scraped into silk pieces of cloth in the dense forest, plus he has not been cleaned for many days, and his hair is unkempt, if it is not for the sword at his waist is still there, he looks like a flower child. Hou Mo Chen Xu muttered: "Li Shimin is really fateful, I didn't expect God to help him, if it weren't for this heavy rain, Li Shimin is afraid that the camp would have been broken long ago!" ”

At this moment, Yu Qing came quickly, if it weren't for Yu Qing's wrinkled face and ravines, he wouldn't be able to tell his age at all. Yu Qing's face was not red and he said breathlessly: "Qilang, Wulang has captured Luoyang, and he will bring troops to relieve the siege of Li Shimin in the near future." ”

Hou Mo Chen Xu also knew that this place was not as good as Lingnan, and the manpower he could use was limited, and five or six hundred people wanted to send charcoal to Li Shimin, but there was simply no such possibility. Hou Mo Chen Xu knew that when Wang Shichong broke through Li Shimin's camp, his vigilance would definitely be relaxed, and when the overall situation was decided, Wang Shichong would not have too many guards around him, so at that time, Hou Mo Chen Xu would have the opportunity to touch Wang Shichong's side and capture the thief first.

At that moment, the casualties of the Tang army must have been very serious, and the most important point is that when Li Shimin's camp was about to be captured, the soldiers of the Zheng army entered Li Shimin's camp one after another, capturing the vassal king of a country. At that time, all the soldiers and horses of Wang Shichong's battalions will be crowded into the camp as quickly as possible, even if Li Shimin has completely lost the strength to resist, and tens of thousands of troops have frantically entered the camp, they will be in chaos, and the commander will not be able to find a general, and the general will not be able to find a soldier, and it will be absolutely difficult to maintain the command of the order.

At this time, the emperor's camp, which was originally placed behind the front army, would be the weakest defensive force and the most lax time for vigilance, plus the defensive measures of the Zheng army's camp were mainly placed in the front, and his army, which suddenly came out of the rear, would be able to enter the middle army as if it were no one, and kill or capture Wang Shichong alive. As long as Wang Shichong is captured or killed, the various armies of Zheng State are not subordinate to each other, there are Heluo Army, Jianghuai Descendant Army, and local army, as well as Tian Zan and Yang Qing's subordinates who are inseparable from Wang Shichong's appearance, if they want to say that they do not have secret dissent, I am afraid that they themselves do not believe it, and the Zheng army camp will inevitably be in internal chaos and have no intention of responding to the war. Even if there were millions of troops, they would have completely lost their combat power by then.

What is especially important is that once the emperor dies, it will definitely be chaotic because it is related to the future and fate of the country and the officials themselves.

Hou Mo Chen Xu smiled bitterly: "It seems that now we have to do it in advance!" ”

Yu Qing shook his head and said, "Now is not a good time to do it. ”

"There's no way, let's catch the ducks!" Hou Mo Chen Xu said: "This is the best way for me to serve Li Shimin, either I don't die, or I work hard, now I can only fight!" ”
