Chapter 740: Zhao Family General

In the middle of May of the sixth year of Qianfu, he lost troops one after another, not only lost Gao Yu from Haozhou, which had just been defeated, but also put Chuzhou into it.

Gao Biao gathered 60,000 soldiers and horses to prepare for a decisive battle with Li Jing in the Gaoyou area, who knew that after a heavy rain for several days, Li Jing had patted his ass and returned to Huaibei. After receiving this news, Gao Yu's seven orifices smoked. Previously, Li Jing only relied on 40,000 people to go all the way south, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and the bull was angry, as if he was not ready to give up until Yangzhou captured him. This made Gao Biao have to be cautious, ignoring the situation in Haozhou, and was even forced to reach an agreement with the grass thief of Huangchao to jointly deal with Li Jing.

For this reason, he lost Chuzhou and Haozhou, in order to concentrate on a real decisive battle with Li Jing.

But he was all ready, but Li Jing patted his ass and left.

Damn, this is the biggest contempt for his Gao Yu, nakedly fanning his old face in front of the world.

Now it's okay, Li Jing wiped out tens of thousands of his Huai troops, seized his Chuhao Erzhou, and left him alone in Gaoyou in front of him, completely ignoring him.

Gao Yu was angry, this time he was really angry.

Zhang Lan was destroyed by Huang Chao before, although he pretended to be a turtle once, but it was just that he deliberately retreated without fighting. If you really want to fight, ten yellow nests will also be destroyed by him. But now it's different, in the past few years, Li Jing's rise has completely stepped on his old face. This time, he was wiped out by Li Jing before and after more than 100,000 horses. Although most of them were civilian recruits, the loss of elite soldiers was 50,000 or 60,000.

This is a beating, his old bones are hurting! Originally, he had planned to fight Li Jing with all his strength to fight the competition. But now that Li Jing is gone, all his preparations are in the air. In the eyes of outsiders. Li Jing has hit the gate of Yangzhou. As a result, he was too high to fight. Such a comparison. Then this time he was a failure.

From now on, there will really be no such thing as his high status on the rivers and lakes.

Li Jing withdrew, no matter what reason Li Jing withdrew, Gao Biao couldn't forgive.

How could Li Jing withdraw, he should have fought a decisive battle with him in Huainan, and then he was defeated by him, beaten to his knees and begged for mercy, and became his prisoner.

"Li Jing has arrived in Xiapi, Sizhou. Now more than 40,000 men and horses have been gathered in Xiapi, and they are preparing to fight for Xu Su from the Qi army. "The current person in charge of Chazi, a spy investigation agency established by Gao Biao's henchman Lu Yong, Zhuge Yin, one of Gao Biao's three warlocks now, is sitting on Gao Biao's side, although he is reporting to Gao Biao, but he doesn't sit down, takes off his shoes, and holds the rotten sores on the soles of his feet, but Gao Biao doesn't blame him for such a rude behavior. Opposing this immortal master's actions is regarded as a manifestation of the freedom of the immortals.

Zhuge Yin not only had sores on the soles of his feet. All over his body were rotten sores, which were caused by poisoning when he was refining the pill. Sit there. I couldn't stop for a moment, so I had to keep scratching left and right, and a strong fishy smell continued to emanate from my body.

"The king of the county, according to the news obtained by Chazi, after Li Jing returned to Huaibei, he left five generals to guard the cities of Chuhao and Erzhou. With Zhao Li as the main general, Li Wei, Xuan Cheng, Qiu Shengong, and Li Xu as deputies, there are only 18,000 people on land and water. ”

Gao Biao heard that Li Jing only left such a few people in Huainan, and he couldn't help but feel even more angry, Li Jing didn't take him seriously at all. He was the king of Bohai County, a generation of famous generals, and the commander of Huainan, Li Jing ran to Huainan to rob him of Erzhou, and killed 100,000 of his soldiers, but only left more than 10,000 people. What is he when he is high? Puppet clay sculptures?

Zuo Mo Yedu military envoy Lu Yongzhi has now become Gao Biao's most trusted confidant, and like Zhuge Yin and Gao Biao, this military envoy of the first army, who is now hot in Huainan Town, did not wear armor, nor the robes of civil and military officials, but wore a Taoist robe. Coupled with Zhang Shouyi, who was also wearing a Taoist robe sitting opposite, this Shuaifu Festival Hall in Huainan Town was like a Daoguan Treasure Palace.

Lu Yongzhi was the most observant of his face, and looking at Gao Biao's expression, he immediately knew what Gao Biao was thinking at this time. He immediately spoke: "King Jun, didn't Huang Chao just send someone to send a letter, and wanted to ask the King of County to send troops together to deal with Li Jing?" I feel that at present, Li Jing is about to attack Xuzhou, and at this time, it is a good time for us to send troops to kill Zhao Li and recapture Chuhao Erzhou. ”

Gao Biao's face darkened, "If this king and Huang Chao send troops to deal with Li Jing together, if the matter is spread out, won't it make the world laugh at Li Jing?" ”

"The king of the county is not right." Lu Yongzhi smiled slightly, as if he was a master, "Huang Chao is just a grass thief, how can he be qualified to be compared with the king of the county, we send troops, not to join forces with Huang Chao." He beats him, let's beat ours. Kill Zhao Li first and recapture the two states of Hao and Chu. Then let's cross the Huai River in one fell swoop and take Li Jing and Huang Chao together. ”

Zhang Shouyi and the two also hurriedly agreed, patting Gao Yu's ass. Gao Yu, who listened to these words, was greatly satisfied, and decided to send troops tomorrow.

Although Gao Biao said on the surface that he was not ashamed to join forces with Huang Chao, he actually knew in his heart that Li Jing is not what he used to be, and now he is strong, and the Huai army that fought this time is proof of this. If it weren't for Li Jing's strategic focus in the north, I am afraid that he might not be able to get through this time. Now that Li Jing and Huang Chao have bitten, such a good opportunity, it would be a fool not to pick it up.

To fight Li Jing, Gao Biao does have some rivers and lakes The older he gets, the less courageous he is.

But that Zhao Li was just a tooth general in Chen Zhou before. Although he has been mixed under Li Jing for a few years, so what, he used to be the number one general in the Tang Dynasty. The persimmon is about to pick up the soft pinch, this time if you don't take the opportunity to destroy Li Jing's eighteen thousand men and horses, and when Li Jing takes Xuzhou in the future, how can there be such a good opportunity to recapture Chuhao Erzhou.

At this time, Liu Hanhong was receiving a lot of benefits from Gao Biao, and he had received countless beautiful promises from Gao Biao, and at this time he was leading his troops into Hangzhou and fighting with Zhou Bao. It seems that for a while, Zhou Bao will not have the time to provoke Huainan again.

After carefully analyzing the current strategic situation around Huainan, Gao Biao decided to snatch back the two states of Chuhao that were taken away by Li Jing first. Li Jing and Zhou Bao, although it is obvious that Li Jing is stronger, but Gao Biao is not just a soft persimmon, he knows very well that once Li Jing is allowed to gain a firm foothold in Xu Si, then he, the Huainan Festival Marshal, is estimated to not be able to sit for long.

Late May. Gao Biao left Gao Jie and Gao Yu, the two nephews, to guard Yangzhou. He took Lu Yongzhi, Zhang Shouyi, and Zhuge Yin with three Taoist friends. and 20,000 Xinjian Ya troops left and right Mo Yedu, as well as 30,000 elite Huai troops gathered from all over the country, and with a general of the Huai army who finally escaped from the last defeat, he led the army to go north along the Han River by boat, and went straight to Chuzhou with murderous spirit.

Patrolling Hangou, Li Xu, who was stationed in Yancheng, Anyi, learned that Gao Yu was leading a large army to come, and immediately sent someone to report to Zhao Li, the commander of Jianghuai.

Zhao Li personally led 5,000 soldiers and horses to aid Anyi, and after listening to Li Xu's detailed report on the military situation, he said: "Although Gao Yu is old. But the majesty is still there, he is good at using soldiers, he can not fight lightly, and watch his movements, and then respond to the battle. ”

On the same day, Gao Piao's general Feng Shou led 3,000 cavalry to the city to fight first, and Zhao Li's brother Zhao Jue loudly asked for battle, "The last general is willing to lead the headquarters of 500 cavalry to fight and destroy the Huai thief tax qi!" ”

Five hundred against three thousand, this is a bit dangerous. Zhao Li nodded in agreement. ordered Zhao Jue to go out of the city to face the battle, and he personally went to the city gate tower to cheer for his brothers.

Rumbling drums and horns. Zhao Jue led five hundred light horsemen out of the city.

The two armies shot at a distance of 100 paces, and Zhao Jue recognized the general as a defeated general in the army of General Gao Yu. couldn't help but sit on the horse and laugh, and let his subordinates shout together: "The general of the defeated army, how dare you speak bravely?" ”

For a while, the five hundred cavalry shouted loudly, and Feng Shou, who was far away, heard the shouting and almost fell off his horse, angry and ashamed. didn't say much at the moment, with a wave of his hand, the horn whined, and Feng Shou led the cavalry to roll and kill.

The ancestors of the Zhao brothers have been Chenzhou generals for several generations, and they have practiced good riding and archery skills. Seeing the enemy coming, he was not afraid, and immediately waved his horse, and also commanded five hundred horsemen to rush towards the other party.

The two cavalry rolled closer, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust.

Feng Shou dared to come and fight when he saw the five hundred cavalry of the Qin army, although he was a little surprised, but he just hit the heart. Although the Huai army is in the south, he is a general who has fought in the south and the north, and most of the 3,000 cavalry under his command are veterans who have followed Gao Yu for many years. If Qin Jun wants to bump into it, then let him hit his head and break the bloodstream.

It's just that what Feng Shou didn't find was that when Zhao Jue's five hundred cavalry came out, each of them still had a lit fire rope wrapped around their left wrist.

But when he saw that the cavalry in the front row of the Qin army suddenly took out a fist-sized object, lit it close to his left wrist, and threw it at them.

A few breaths passed.

Feng Shou saw the pimples that kept flying, and suddenly there was an incident, that is, when the legendary Li Jing and the four towns of Hebei fought in the river, Li Jing's cavalry used sharp firearms to break the Hebei army.

The one in front of you is the firearms?

In the last battle of Huainan, because the firearms of the Qin army were damp, and later it was a battle in heavy rain, the Huai army did not see the firearms of the Qin army at all. So much so that many Huai army officers and soldiers thought that the so-called firearms of the Qin army, which could break more than 100,000 Hebei troops, were nothing more than nothing. Or maybe there is, but it's not as powerful as it boasts, otherwise, why hasn't Qin Jun used it?

Because of this, although Feng Shou fought with the Qin army several times, it was the first time he saw the thunderbolt of the Qin army.

A five-second delay arrives!

The thunderbolts that fell into the cavalry of the Huai army began to sound one after another, and in the smoke of gunpowder, countless war horses of the Huai army neighed and fled, and dozens of horses and knights fell in this collapse.

The Huai army was in chaos at the front, but the Qin army's war horses had already received special anti-explosion and anti-shock training, and at this time, in the midst of the loud noise in the sky, under the instigation of five hundred knights, it swept like a tide, and continued to impact and drown.

Seeing this, Zhao Li in the city hurriedly ordered the eldest son Zhao Lu and the second son Zhao Lin to lead 500 cavalry out of the city to cover and kill from the left and right sides to expand the results of the battle.

Feng Shou was still struggling to support, but he heard the war drums in the city in the distance like thunder, and one cavalry on the left and right had already killed quickly, and he couldn't help but scream bitterly at the moment. The cavalry of the Huai army no longer had the fighting spirit, and went south, and the three generals of the Zhao family's uncle and nephew each led 500 cavalry from their headquarters, chasing and killing all the way, covering up for 20 miles.

Feng Shou's 3,000 cavalry was lost nearly half, embarrassed, and was about to be surrounded, but fortunately, Lei Man, the general of the Huai Army, led 3,000 Wuling cavalry to rush to meet and rescue.

At this time, Zhao Li, his brothers Zhao Chang and Li Xu also led 500 cavalry to meet them, and the two sides fought for a while, injured each other, and gradually separated. Zhao Li ordered Ming Jin to collect his troops and return to the city, Lei Man did not dare to pursue, and when Zhao Li's six generals returned to the city, Lei Man did not dare to stay longer, and Feng Shou retreated twenty miles south to camp and wait for the arrival of Gao Yu's army.

Feng Shou and Lei Man counted the soldiers and horses, a scuffle, Feng Shou's three thousand horsemen actually folded 1,200 horses, and Lei Man's three thousand Wuling barbarian horses also folded more than 300 horses, the two widened their eyes, gritted their teeth, and sighed with hatred for a long time, relatively speechless.
