Chapter 528: Hunting in the Wild (4)
(Ask for a commuter pass!) )
Dozens of miles of the Giant Plain, there was fighting everywhere, but this was already a one-sided battle.
Within a range of tens of miles, the hundreds of thousands of grass troops had already broken down and fled in all directions. At this time, the Tang army attacked from all sides, and the whole army was dispatched. The cavalry teams charged back and forth, and any grass army general who wanted to raise the flag and gather troops and horses would suffer a fierce blow from the Tang cavalry in the first time. The soldiers of the Tang Army were also chasing in groups at this time, and they drove the piles of scattered grass thieves away, divided, slaughtered, and killed the red-eyed ones, and they didn't even want to take prisoners.
More Tang Army auxiliaries also joined the pursuit team at this time. The cleaning of the battlefield had been put aside for the time being, and the auxiliaries were also in groups, chasing and killing or capturing the stragglers who had been broken and scattered by the cavalry and soldiers.
The entire giant field was already as hideous as hell, and there was fierce fighting everywhere. Arrows rained overhead, and in front of him was a bright metal reflection, countless swords slashing and spears stabbing. The blood under his feet stained the earth red, seeping deep into the dirt, bloody and bloody.
The shouts of the Tang army, the screams of the grass army, the groans of the wounded, and the begs for mercy of the captives. The sound of steel knives entering flesh, arrows hitting bones, the sound of weapons clashing, the wheezing of running, the neighing of war horses, all the sounds mixed together to become the sound of death in hell.
Huang Chao has been hit several times along the way, and there are only more than 1,000 centaurs left around him after the last one. As soon as the banner was raised, they wanted to gather some soldiers and horses, but the grass army brothers had not gathered yet, but they attracted the evil wolf Zhuge Shuang.
Zhuge Shuang took Li Hanzhi, Wang Jian, Jin Hui, Zhu Wen, and Zhu Zhen all of them were fierce outlaws. I saw the banner of the Yellow Nest. Several people's eyes lit up with excitement. Don't think about danger or anything like that. Raise your spear. Ride your horse and kill it.
Three thousand elite horsemen killed for a day, and there were more than two thousand people at this time, and they suddenly killed and caught Huang Chao off guard. The two sides fought for a while, and there were fewer and fewer people around Huang Chao, but there were more and more soldiers and horses of the Tang army. In the scuffle, Huang Chao and his left and right cronies were separated, and they had to flee alone.
Didn't run far. Huang Chao heard the sound of the road behind him, and three horsemen rushed straight to him. Huang Chao looked back and saw that it was a few young Tang soldiers, looking at the armor, but it seemed to be just an ordinary soldier.
Huang Chao ran while thinking about a way to get out.
Zhu Zhen rode on the horse and shouted loudly: "Huangchao Xiaoer, hurry up and arrest it, defeat in the hands of my three brothers, and it will not disgrace your identity." ”
Huang Chao turned his head on the horse and asked, "I still don't know the names of the three brothers in Ludao?" ”
"Listen to the names of grandfathers. The one in the middle is Zhu Wen and Zhu's third brother, and the one on the left is Zhu Cunzhu's second brother. Your grandfather, I am Zhu Zhen, your fourth brother Zhu. ”
Huang Chao didn't care about Zhu Zhen's stinky mouth, and just said with flattery at this time, "But I don't know what the official position of the three young heroes is now?" ”
As soon as he said this, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but get angry, in the Zhenguo Army's selection of the front army, he was already the leader of the team, and he was about to be promoted to command. As a result, after joining the Xuanwu Army now, he has made a lot of contributions, but now, Zhu Zhen and Zhu Cun are just a captain, and Zhu Zhen was promoted to a team leader because he entered the Huishuai account that day, but he has not even earned the lowest rank of accompanying Rong lieutenant. It's a huge difference, and it's infuriating to think about it.
"Your grandfather, I and Second Brother Zhu are the conductors, and the Third Brother Zhu is the deputy commander!" Zhu Zhen didn't want to be seen by a grass thief, so she said loudly.
Huang Chao was surprised: "Brother Zhu, don't bully the old man, the old man still knows the armor system of the court officer." ”
Zhu Zhen blushed, and said hatefully: "What are the old thieves happy about, grandpa used to be a commander and deputy commander!" ”
When Huang Chao heard this, he was shocked in his mind. The position of commander and commander has only risen in recent years, and the first was the commander of the Shence army, and then some feudal town armies also set up commanders and commanders in the army, and even some armies have set up commanders, in short, these official positions are a little chaotic. But generally speaking, the command of the Shence Army, that is quite a high-level order, at least the official position of the third grade. With these guys in front of you, it is impossible to be such a position.
If it weren't for this, it was just a low-level official position, and he suddenly thought of the Zhenguo Army. In the Zhenguo Army, the military position was changed not long ago, and the generals of the capital became commanders, and the ten generals of the battalion became commanders. Although these two positions are not low, they can be put on the same level. Could it be that these two people used to be from the Zhenguo Army?
He asked a few words on the side, and sure enough, these three guys turned out to be Li Jing's subordinates before, and they had defeated Wang Xianzhi together in Songzhou. Later, for a reason they refused to say, as a result, these three people left the Zhenguo Army and joined the Xuanwu Army, but they could only be a soldier like the commander of the army. Although I don't know the specific reason for the road, it must be because of military discipline and other things. After all, he had also heard of the strictness of military discipline in the Zhenguo Army.
After finding out the identity of the other party, Huang Chao's brain turned and he persuaded while running: "Why do the three brothers chase after each other? You just want to catch the old man and go back to make meritorious contributions, but think about it, what kind of person is Mu Renxuan, the envoy of Xuanwu Festival? With the talents of the three, he defected to him, but he only got a small Wu Commander. Even if you catch the old man and vote for him, with Mu Renxuan's greedy and narrow-minded character, you may not be able to get any rich rewards, and you may even be robbed of your merits. ”
Seeing that the three of them didn't speak, Huang Chao couldn't help but strike while the iron was hot and said: "It's better for the three of them to let the old man go, and the old man will definitely have a report." The old man can give the three of them a heavy reward, or the three of them might as well go directly with me, with the talents of the three, the old man thinks that he can be a general. As long as the three are willing to vote for me, I will give the three three 3,000 soldiers and horses. ”
Zhu Zhen immediately whispered to Zhu Wen: "I think there is some truth in this old thief's words, that Mu Renyu is not a good bird." We worked hard and made so many contributions, but we were not rewarded. If it weren't for the last time I saw Eunuch Ximen and Eunuch Yang, the third brother would have been appreciated by them, but I am afraid that even this Wu Gang Leader would not be promoted. And most of the rewards for these achievements we have made were all damn deducted by Mu Anguo's donkey ball thing, and the reward we received was less than one percent. This money is the desperate money we make with our heads, or not. Let's just let this thief go. Secretly take a large sum of money in hand. ”
"This is a violation of military orders. If it is discovered, it will be beheaded. Zhu Cun exclaimed.
"The military order of the bird, the second brother is still the Zhenguo Army here. Out of the Zhenguo Army, you see, not only the Xuanwu Army, but also the other five town troops, which one is different, what military order. It's all bullshit. Damn, not to mention the military rations above, even the desperate reward has to be deducted, and his mother has to deduct ninety percent. There is no fairness of rewards and punishments, it is all fucking cronyism. If you don't have the ability, you have to have a relationship. Everything else is false, but money is real. ”
Zhu Wen also hesitated again and again, and was moved by Zhu Zhen's words after the end. Money is king, and everything is virtual without money. When they escaped from the Zhenguo Army, they only had the eight horses. Later, several horses did not dare to be exposed, and the horses were thrown away. Since defecting to the Xuanwu Army. The reward they received was originally thousands of yuan, but they didn't get more than a hundred. Even this hundred times has not been fully realized. Now that Zhu Wen was in need of money, Zhang Tailiu, like many of the Kabuki servants brought by the officers, followed the army and lived in the city not far from the barracks.
Huang Chao gave Zhu Wen a bag of gold immediately, Zhu Wen asked for Huang Chao's banner again, and Zhu Zhen asked Huang Chao's set of gold armor after the last time, and after Huang Chao was ransacked, Zhu Wen still had credit and let Huang Chao go.
When Huang Chao left, he said to Zhu Wen: "If the three Zhu brothers don't want to stay in the Xuanwu Army, they can come to Huang at any time." The door of Huang's camp is open for the three Zhu brothers at any time. As long as the three are willing to come, the second brother Zhu and the fourth brother Zhu are at least from the fifth rank guerrilla general, and the third brother Zhu is at least a five-rank ranger general. ”
Zhu Wen nodded at Huang Chao and did not directly refuse.
The three of them returned to the foot of Juye Mountain at night, and the Tang army fought for a day, and they were also exhausted at this time. After beheading more than 30,000, the Tang army returned to the camp one after another to rest and eat. The staff secretaries and secretaries in the army are even more busy, and they are nervously recording military exploits.
After the three of them entered the camp, they immediately reported the battle situation to Mu Anguo, the commander of the former forward battalion. Mu Anguo had cleared the battle before, but he didn't see three people, and he thought that three people died in battle. Now I am very happy to see them back. The three of them have been very outstanding recently, especially this time, because Zhu Wen proposed to him the plan to transfer the rear army to attack, he reported to Zhuge Shuang as usual, and was appreciated. Now after the war, Zhuge Shuang has attributed the first merit of the three thousand cavalry to Mu Anguo.
After Mu Anguo knew the Tao, he did not explain that his subordinate Zhu Wen was the first to propose it, and he directly received this credit. Now that I see the three of them coming back, I can't help but praise a few words.
When Zhu Wen took out the banner of the grass thief, Mu Anguo was very shocked, and after seeing the Yellow Nest Golden Armor and Sword in Zhu Zhen's hand, he was even more shocked. Under questioning, Zhu Zhen proudly told how they pursued Huang Chao, and how Huang Chao, who was the last to chase, lost his armor and abandoned his armor.
However, Zhu Zhen boasted too much, but there were many flaws in her words. Mu Renyu became suspicious, and asked Huang Chao how he escaped. deliberately deceived a few words, but finally deceived Zhu Zhen There are more loopholes in his words. After the last, although Zhu Wen quietly kicked Zhu Zhen, he only said that they were chasing closer, Huang Chao lost his armor and was about to catch up, but in the end, a team of grass thief cavalry was killed halfway and Huang Chao fled. They had no choice but to pick up the banner and armor of the Yellow Nest and return to the camp!
How can Mu Anguo believe these words!
Originally, his subordinates got the banner armor of Huang Chao, which was a great military achievement. But now, the great achievement of the paper world that could have captured Huang Chao alive was in front of him, but he missed it, and his joy suddenly turned into chagrin, and he couldn't wait to cut three generals with one sword.
In anger, he couldn't help but slap and kick Zhu Wen and the others. He didn't believe Zhu Wen's nonsense at all in his heart, and decided that Zhu Wen must have gotten the benefits of Huang Chao, so he released Huang Chao privately, but there was no evidence for a while.
In the end, he had to remain silent on the surface, but he let people take a bag of gold, fifty taels of gold collars, a total of twelve, a total of six hundred taels of gold, and rewarded three people.
"This is your reward, take it!"
Zhu Wen and the others were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect Mu Anguo to be angry just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was so generously rewarded, and they couldn't believe it for a while. After Zhu Zhen picked up the bag of gold weighing nearly 100 catties, the heavy gold finally made him believe that it was true. (To be continued......)
