The Son of Heaven is fortunate in the west, and the towns in the world are completely dead to the Li Tang royal family.

For a time, the world was full of turmoil, and all parties began to make their own small calculations. Just when Li Jing captured Suzhou and Chen Qi, the general of the Huai Army, led his army to surrender to Li Jing, the Central Plains also underwent drastic changes.

Guo An, the commander of Caozhou under Tianping Town, saw that the Son of Heaven had abandoned Luoyang and Chang'an successively and fled to Shuzhong, while Li Jing gave up Tianping Town. Handed over Tianping Town to Yu Xuan, between Huangchao and Li Jing, Guo An was moved by the lobbyist of his neighbor Zhu Wen, and suddenly launched a mutiny on the tenth day of June, killing Liu Xu, the assassin of Caozhou in Tianping Town, and led the army to surrender to Zhu Wen, the envoy of Xuanwu Festival.

On June 15, Yu Xuan led 10,000 soldiers and horses to counterattack into Caozhou Lihu, and Tang Xuanwu's military Jiedu envoy Xin Yan also received Yu Xuan's request at this time and led the Songzhou army to turn around. Xin Yan did not send troops to the northeast and went to join Yu Xuan. Instead, it went northwest along the canal, passing through Ningling and Xiangyi, and directly penetrated into the southwest of Caozhou in the northwest of Songzhou, making a situation of directly taking Bianzhou, the base camp of Zhu Wen.

At the same time, Yu Xuan sent someone to contact Kang Chengzhi, the envoy of the Yicheng army, and asked him to send troops to the south, and responded to Xin Yan Yao, attacking Zhu Wen from the north and south.

When Zhu Wentan heard that the three towns of Tianping, Xuanwu, and Yicheng were going to jointly attack Bianzhou, he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly marched back to Bianzhou to defend the fundamentals.

The junction of Biancao and Caozhou, the north bank of Baigou, Baishan.

On the mountain, Xin Yan was holding a clairvoyant mirror and looking at the east, and as far as the eye could see, there was silence everywhere.

"Kang Shuai, you said Zhu Wen would really pass by here?"

Kang Chengyu, the envoy of the Yicheng Army, also held a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and said with a smile: "Ji Yu told us before that as long as our three towns plan according to what he said, we will send troops. Juwen will not dare to fight. Definitely a drawdown. What is happening now? Everything was as Ji Yu expected. Zhu Wen really retreated without a fight. Since Ji Yu also said that Zhu Wen would pass by here, it would definitely not be bad. ”

Xin Yan was close to the sixtieth year, and after he resigned from the assassination a few years ago, he thought that his career would end. Unexpectedly, because of the unevenness of the road, Li Jing was saved once, but instead he became the deputy ambassador of Datong Town, and now he has become the envoy of the Xuanwu Festival. Although this Xuanwu Festival envoy is not very smooth, there is only one Song Zhou under his command, and the pseudo-Qi also has a Xuanwu Festival envoy. But anyway. Xin Yan did not refuse.

Although everyone in the world can see that Li Tang will fall, it is difficult to support it alone. But Xin Yan values loyalty the most, even if it is, he will stick to the last. Although it seems that Li Jing is not really loyal to the Tang Dynasty, at least, now that Li Jing is still fighting under the banner of the Tang Dynasty and fighting against the pseudo-Qi Huangchao who openly opposes the Tang Dynasty and claims to be the emperor, then he will continue to support Li Jing as always.

"It's a pity that we have too few soldiers. It's not elite enough. Otherwise, wait for Zhu Wen's dog thief to come. Let's take advantage of this to destroy him. ”

The two pretended to be planning to attack Bianzhou on the surface, but in fact it was just a feint, and only a small part of the soldiers and horses bluffed and feints. The real soldiers and horses of the two towns were actually secretly ambushed on the border of Cao Bian, and an ambush circle was set up, waiting for Zhu Wen to come in.

The relationship between Xin Yan and Kang Chengyu and Zhu Wen is not good, and Zhu Wen's existence is the biggest threat to the two. At the same time, they all knew that Zhu Wen was an officer under Li Jing in his early years, but he defected to the grass thief in the end, and now he has become a general. Xin Yan and Kang Chengzhi don't like this kind of person, and they are planning to beat Zhu Wen at the moment. It's a pity that the two of them have not long taken over, and the total number of soldiers and horses of the two is only 20,000. Moreover, half of them are new recruits. Lack of training, poor armor.

Li Jing has elite soldiers under him, but unfortunately now Li Jing is bent on plotting against Xuzhou and has no spare strength.

A horse galloped to the horse, and immediately the knight rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, and flew to report: "Report, the advance of the Bianjun army is coming, and there are still thirty miles!" ”

Xin Yan ordered in a deep voice: "The whole army is ready!" ”

In the afternoon, a group of soldiers and horses meandered in, and soon crashed into the ambush circle of Xin Yan and Kang Chengyu.

"Kill!" Xin Yan gave an order, and in an instant, the soldiers and horses of Yicheng and Xuanwu Second Town, who were ambushed on the mountain on the side of the road, suddenly got up and shouted to kill.

The archers of the two towns were the first to shoot arrows, and for a while, the arrows rained down and fell on the heads of the Bianjun. Immediately afterwards, catapults and ballistae, which were covered with branches, also shed their camouflage and began to project. And Xin Yan was holding a two-handed general with a sword, leading a thousand cavalry to gallop out from behind the mountain, leading the cavalry to violently attack the Bianjun team, trying to cut the Bianjun army apart.

Zhu Wen was suddenly ambushed, and he was also shocked.

Ding Hui, the former general of the Bianjun army, was attacked, but he was not frightened, drew his sword and shouted, "Defend on the spot!" ”

When the Bianjun heard the order, they began to assemble into a small circle formation according to the team, defend on the spot, stabilize the formation, and then move closer to the center, and the small formation slowly converged into a middle formation, and the middle formation converged into a large formation at the most rear.

Kang Chengyu, who was assembling infantry at the foot of the mountain, couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart when he saw the Bianjun reacting like this, but these grass thieves were not idle people.

However, if it was in the past, maybe Kang Chengyu would not be able to deal with these elite Bianjun, but now, Kang Chengyu is not worried. Because the ambush plan for this time was originally formulated by Li Jing, although Li Jing could not send troops and horses to help in the battle, he generously gave them a large number of ordnance. Among them, there are 100 boxes of earth-shattering thunder. A box of fifty sky-shaking thunders, a total of five thousand sky-shaking thunders, and an ambush battle, that is enough.

"Kill!" Kang Chengzhi waved his lance, and the assembled infantry formed a phalanx and walked towards the Bianjun army with heavy steps.

Zhu Wen, who was under the command of the commander of the Bianjun Army, looked around coldly, and in a short period of time, he had already observed that there were not many troops ambushing him, about 20,000 or so. And looking at the other party's flag, it is certain that it is Kang Chengzhi's Huazhou Army and Xin Yan's Bianzhou Army who received reports to attack Bianzhou before.

With only 20,000 horses, and seeing that most of them were new soldiers, Zhu Wen gradually calmed down.

This bit of soldiers and horses was not in his eyes, and what he was worried about just now was that he thought that the person who ambushed him was Li Jing. The result is just these two people, since it is not Li Jing, what is so terrible. Although Zhu Wen was in a hurry to return to the division this time, he also had 20,000 troops and horses. 20,000 against 20,000, Zhu Wen has the confidence to beat the other party.

With a bang, Zhu Wen drew his sword out of the sheath.

"Since they are sent to the door, it is time to destroy them together, go on, destroy them!"

The infantry on both sides approached, and the Bianjun army leveled their spears and raised their shields, ready to run over. The archers guarding the center of the formation also began to shoot arrows, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer. Although the Bianjun was born as a grass thief, Zhu Wen's army, all kinds of tactics were basically born from the early tactics of the Zhenguo Army. It is precisely with these tactics that Zhu Wen has always fought against the enemy, and there has rarely been a time of defeat.

Seeing that the two sides were about to start a scuffle, the corners of Zhu Wen's mouth were slightly upturned, and he was very confident.

Then, when the two sides were only less than ten zhang apart, and the Bianjun army began to trot and prepare to charge, the Yicheng army and the Xuanwu army on the opposite side suddenly stopped advancing, and took out an object from the belt around their waists one by one, and then threw it towards the Bianjun one by one.

The distance between the two sides is less than ten zhang, and ten zhang is the standard throwing distance of earth-shaking thunder.

Seeing the black spots in the sky, the smile on Zhu Wen's face suddenly froze.

He had a very bad premonition.

The earth-shattering sound continued to sound, accompanied by the screams and horrors of the Bianjun army rising and falling among themselves.

The acrid smoke rose from the sky, and there were stumps and severed arms flying in the air, and splattered blood everywhere.

The Bianjun suffered a big loss, the first time they encountered the attack of the earth-shaking thunder, but they were still lined up in a dense phalanx, and they didn't know how to lie down and dodge, as a result, the earth-shaking thunder exerted the greatest lethality.

Zhu Wen's smile turned to shock, horror, and then bewilderment

He understood, it was the firearm of the Qin army, the earth-shaking thunder.

He should have thought that the earth-shattering thunder was the killer weapon of the Qin army. But this earth-shaking thunder is not invincible, it is said that Hebei Fan Zhen has studied a way to deal with the earth-shaking thunder, that is, when fighting with the Qin army, try not to line up in a dense military formation, and when encountering the earth-shaking thunder, immediately lie down, which can be effectively defended and dodged. The most important thing is that in the rainy day, the Qin army's earth-shaking thunder is almost unusable. In addition, if you use a shield to block it, it can also effectively resist the lethality of the earth-shaking thunder

In short, if you take precautions early, the earth-shaking thunder seems to be powerful, but it is not invincible, and it is impossible to cause such a big damage. Moreover, the construction of the Earthquake Thunder is expensive, it is not easy to make, and the other party's Earthquake Thunder is also limited.

But now it's too late to think about this, the explosion continues, and the power of the earth-shattering thunder is much more powerful than Zhu Wen imagined. The Bianjun army was completely stunned, and at this moment, the cavalry led by Xin Yan, who had already regrouped on the side, seized the opportunity and rushed back.

The cavalry charged in front and broke through, and the infantry in the rear covered the attack.

The front army of Ding Hui was defeated, Zhu Zhen's left army was defeated, and Zhu Cun's right army was defeated.

"Dashuai, it's not good, Yu Xuan led three thousand elite cavalry to kill, when we fought, they suddenly used a large number of firearms, our army was defeated, and the rear army was defeated. Yu Xuan is coming soon! ”

Zhu Wen's face was ashen, and he immediately staggered, and almost fell off his horse.

Looking back at the billowing smoke and dust behind him, although his Chinese army was quite neat, if Yu Xuan's 3,000 cavalry joined, the situation would not be optimistic. And what Zhu Wen is most worried about is that he doesn't know how many earth-shattering thunders they still have in their hands, if they are gone, Zhu Wen is confident that he can still fight. But if the other party still has a lot of this kind of earth-shattering thunder, the current morale of the Bianjun army can no longer support it at all.

After thousands of thoughts in his mind, although Zhu Wen was unwilling, he still gritted his teeth and said: "Don't fall in love with the war, break through immediately and return to Bianzhou." ”

Zhu Wen wanted to run, but Xin Yan and Kang Chengyu couldn't stop it, and only intercepted thousands of Bianjun troops to surround and kill.

Zhu Wen took Zhu Zhen, Zhu Cunding, Li Tangbin, Xie Tong and other generals of the Bianjun army, led more than 10,000 defeated soldiers and did not dare to fight, and fled all the way back to Bianzhou. Kang Chengzhi joined forces with Xin Yan and Yu Xuan, and the three marshals finally intercepted and killed more than 5,000 people in the Bian's army. After the war, Yu Xuan and the three did not chase into Bianzhou, but turned around and killed back to Caozhou, a few days later, Guo An, who mutinied and surrendered to Bianzhou, was held by his subordinates and dedicated to Yu Xuan. Yu Xuan beheaded Guo An, and Caozhou returned to Tianping Town. (To be continued......)
