Chapter 539: Chaotic Battle Linyi

(Thank you for the monthly ticket support of Tianshan White Stone, thank you!) )

When Duan Shan arrived with 500 light cavalry from the special combat battalion, it was already late.

The county seat of Feixian County is not big, the last time Wang Xianzhi, Huang Chao, Wang Jingwu three ways soldiers and horses surrounded the Taining army to make Li in Yizhou, they plundered the surrounding cities, and the cost of not far northwest of Linyi was broken and looted.

This time, Huang Chao and Wang Jingwu made a comeback, and when they attacked Linyi, they also sent a thousand soldiers and horses to take Fei County. When a thousand soldiers and horses arrived, they did not encounter the slightest resistance, and they reoccupied this county town, which only had more than 1,000 people left at this time.

When the special operations battalion passed through Fei County, no one found out at all. Duan Shan ordered the whole battalion not to light a fire, and the people were bound to horses, and it was forbidden to talk, and followed the guide sent by Kang Chengzhi to walk carefully in the mountains and forests. Quickly, Duan Shan found the whistle in the forest, but he didn't say anything. Sure enough, after walking for about half an hour, countless people and horses suddenly came out of the forest on all sides and surrounded them.

"Our own people, we are the Zhenguo Army, Duan Shan, the captain of the special operations battalion of the Zhenguo Army under the command of Li Dashuai!"

Duan Shan held up his military card, as well as the handwritten letters and orders of Li Jing and Kang Chengzhi. The guide next to him also immediately identified himself, and an officer came to pick up a few things and left, and after a while, a general came out of the Pinglu army and returned a few things to the two. smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "It turned out to be the young marshal's subordinates, a misunderstanding, I am Cui Decheng, the former general of Chishan Town, and now the left wing of the Pinglu Army knows the soldiers and horses, and the young marshal and I are also old friends." Go, the marshal wants to see you. ”

Song Wei's military camp was set up in a hidden valley less than fifty miles away from the two cities of Fei County and Linyi. If it weren't for someone leading the way. Most people would never think of it. There will also be an army of tens of thousands in this valley.

After Song Wei saw Duan Shan and Zhang He, he said kindly: "If you want to come to Qizhou, you have already recovered it, right?" ”

Duan Shan reported some of the situation in Qizhou, and said: "The young marshal sent his subordinates to lead the special combat battalion to come and listen to the orders of Marshal Hou. Moreover, the young marshal specially asked his subordinates to bring a batch of flying fire to the marshal. As long as the commander gives an order, he is willing to lead 500 brothers from the special combat battalion to take the Linyi city gate for the commander. ”

Song Wei looked at Duan Shan's heroic performance and smiled. "Ji Yu has a heart, but since I have given up Linyi City to the thieves, I am sure that I can easily take it back again. The old man who is the head of the special operations battalion of the Zhenguo Army has long heard that it is all Ji Yu's baby pimple, how dare the old man waste it in vain. Since you are here, you will follow the old man. ”

Looking at Duan Shan's puzzled appearance, Cui Yunqing said with a smile: "Dashuai has already dug more than a dozen tunnels in Linyi City to lead to the outside of the city, and has ambushed many brothers in the city as internal responses. At the time of the third watch tonight, my 60,000 Pinglu soldiers sent to Linyi. At that time, enter the city directly through the tunnel and open the city gate, and receive the army into the city. Kill the king and reverse the yellow thief one inside and out. ”

Zhang Wanrong, the envoy of the supervising army, said with a smile: "There are only 50,000 grass thieves, although they are all soldiers, but it is estimated that only half of the soldiers are soldiers, and the rest are just a group of rabble." The handsome man had a clever plan, and secretly led 60,000 soldiers and horses to Linyi first, but he did not enter Linyi, but hid in this valley. The grass thieves easily took Linyi City, and now they must have thought that our army was still behind him, and the grass thieves would definitely not have much defense tonight. If we suddenly enter the city, we will surely be able to break the thieves in one fell swoop. ”

Duan Shan also nodded again and again when he heard this, if Song Wei was stationed in Linyi City, although it seemed more advantageous, Huang Chao and the others might not dare to attack the city, and fled to other places instead. And now, deliberately letting Linyi out is tantamount to letting the grass thief himself into a cage.

In terms of the number of both sides, the Pinglu Army now has only 20,000 soldiers and 40,000 auxiliaries, but the soldiers of the Pinglu Army are all elite, and even if they are auxiliaries, most of them are unity soldiers and veterans who have fought for nearly a year. However, the grass thief and Wang Jingwu, with 50,000 soldiers and horses, are not only small in number at a disadvantage, but also the elite is definitely inferior.

"If the marshal doesn't think our department is useless, dare to ask the last general to lead the headquarters to participate in the battle mission to seize the door!" Although Duan Shan felt that without them, this battle would have been won, but since he had come all the way, how could he come to see the play.

"Okay, according to your words, let's go and prepare!" Song Wei readily agreed.

In the past half a month, Song Wei has become much haggard. Although he was taken care of by Cui Yunqing and Zhang Wanrong, he insisted on riding a horse. If he is out in a carriage, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army.

But as the horses trekked, the temperature became hotter and hotter day by day, and his weak body became more and more unbearable.

As soon as he lay down, he felt like he was falling apart. Especially in the internal organs, there are bursts of pain, breathing is not smooth, and coughing constantly. Since Changbai Mountain went south, his body has not been recuperated, and the poison in his body has become more and more powerful. The doctor who accompanied the army had already told him that if he didn't take care of it well, maybe he would only have half a year to live.

Obviously he was very sleepy, but when he lay down, he couldn't sleep. For a while, he thought that he only had half a year's life, and then he thought that the thieves had fallen into his trap, and he would be able to destroy the thieves in one fell swoop. Fight for a lifetime, and finally die with the glory of victory.

Originally, he didn't come to fight this battle, he firmly believed that Li Jing could also destroy the thief. But in the end, he still insisted on coming, if it wasn't for the fact that this sick body couldn't hold on, maybe he wouldn't have chased after it. For the imperial court, he always remembered the fate of the old handsome Kang Chengxun. At the beginning, Kang Chengxun was dedicated to the country, and after the most retreat, he led his troops to suppress the Pang Xun Rebellion. But the bird was hidden, and Kang Chengxun did not get a good death.

For more than a year, Ping Luping has been repeatedly in conflict with Wang Jingwu, and it has been difficult to sweep away the rebels. This is not only related to Wang Jingwu's strong strength, but also the fact that the Pinglu army is full of mountains, and many generals do not contribute to the troops. But in fact, if Song Wei wants to destroy Wang Jingwu, as long as he is willing to show determination, it only takes half a year to destroy Wang Jingwu. He has been dragging it out, in fact, the bigger reason is that he has been playing a big game of chess by using the war to exterminate Wang Jingwu, and he has been using this war to continuously weaken the strength of those military leaders of the Pinglu Army and cultivate his own strength.

However, the rise of Li Jing's Zhendong Army led to the direct self-reliance of the Dengzhou and Zhenguo Army, which seriously dealt a blow to Song Wei's prestige. He was then stabbed. Poisoned arrows. These two events completely disrupted his plans. If not. Song Wei was sure to fight this chaotic battle for two to three years, and then quietly and completely level the hills of the Lu army, and break them down again.

It's a pity that he doesn't have this time, he doesn't have a son himself, and he doesn't have a son or nephew who is suitable to take over. Moreover, with Li Jing, the righteous son, who will take over as the commander of the Pinglu Army, it will not last long. After thinking about it, he simply passed it to Li Jing. First, Li Jing can also be regarded as his adopted son. Although this father-son relationship is not close. But with this name, he passed the position to Li Jing and supported Li Jing to take over as the commander of the Pinglu Army, and the Song family will also fully support Li Jing. This support is in exchange for Li Jing's infinite righteous son who will take care of the Song family in the future.

This time, he dragged the sick body to destroy the grass thief in person, one was naturally to give himself a perfect merit in life, and similarly, he had a deeper idea. Li Jing's speed was too fast, so fast that people were surprised and shocked and couldn't believe it. This is a good thing, but it is also a very dangerous thing.

Li Jing had already defeated Wang Xianzhi's 100,000 soldiers and horses once. After recovering many states and counties, Song Wei was worried. If Li Jing kills Huang Chao, Wang Jingwu and other thieves. Then maybe the bird that happened to Marshal Kang Chengxun at the beginning may be repeated in Li Jing. In particular, Li Jing has now offended the powerful Tian Lingzi.

He is about to die, and he is willing to be this hound that exterminates the most cunning rabbit.

The night breeze was getting cooler, the tent was silent under military orders, and the whole army was resting at the end of the day to accumulate strength.

He vaguely heard Duan Shan discussing some details of the siege with Cui Decheng and other officers.

I couldn't help but think that in fact, although Li Jing had set up his own door, Li Jing was still a relatively affectionate and righteous person from beginning to end. Judging from Li Jing's treatment of Cui Yunqing's past, Li Jing is not a person who forgets his roots.

It's a pity that I had a period of hostility with Li Jing that both sides knew, although now that everyone's identities are different, that old thing has become a thing of the past. But now that I think about it, I still have some regrets, if I could have seen that Li Jing would have such a great future, he might not have those thoughts of suppressing this young man.

When he first recognized Li Jing as his righteous son, he felt a little aggrieved, but now, he feels a little lucky. After his death, with this name, Li Jing will never forget the Song family.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the officers began to wake up their men, and the auxiliary barracks had already prepared their meals.

Tonight is going to be a battle, and the meal is very hearty, with kelp stewed pork, plus mutton soup, and white rice. There's enough for everyone. After eating, each person was also given a pound of jerky, four flatbreads, and a large bag of boiled cold boiled water. After eating and drinking, they began to equip their weapons, the officers checked them, and then set off.

The battalion went first, followed by the auxiliaries, and the light cavalry took the lead.

All the way to the hurry, nearly three watches, the army has arrived near Linyi. From a distance, Linyi City at night is not very high, and many of the gaps in the city wall that collapsed during the last siege are still like toothless mouths.

On the city tower, colorful, all kinds of grass army flags hang high, slowly swaying with the wind.

Although it is already the third watch, it is not quiet in Linyi City. The countless fires burst into the sky, and the city was filled with screams. In that cry, there were not only the obscene cries of the grass army, but also the painful howls of the people in the city, and the screams of panic and fear.

It is no surprise that the thieves are enjoying the fruits of victory, no matter which city they capture, whether Wang Xianzhi or Huang Chao and others are willing or not, the discipline of the grass army is difficult to maintain. Zhu Wen sat in the barracks, covering the whip marks on his face, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire. Today's whip made it difficult for him to calm down. Even if it was Wang Xianzhi's general, Bi Shiduo, one of the ten commanders, who beat him, he couldn't let go.

Zhang Tailiu carefully helped him wipe his wound and apply the potion.

The door opened, and Zhu Zhen and Zhu Cun walked in in armor.

"Third brother, it's all arranged." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice.

Zhu Zhen waved at Zhang Tailiu and asked her to go back to the back room.

"Has Master Bi's tent been discovered?" Zhu Wen asked coldly.

"Inquire clearly, Wang Xianzhi's troops are stationed in Beicheng, Bi Shiduo robbed the house of a large family in the north of the city, and now he is happily receiving the wives and concubines of that family, and he is busy, there are not many guards in the house, only fifty people. Let's just transfer all the brothers in the camp and destroy them directly. Zhu Zhen said.

"No, Bi Shiduo is one of Wang Xianzhi's ten votes, and Wang Xianzhi values him very much. If we attack him directly, I'm afraid that Huang Shuai won't protect us. This has to be done in a secret way so that we are not exposed. Zhu Wen gritted his teeth and said, Bi Shiduo's whip was simply a great shame for him.

"Or, let's pretend to be Wang Xianzhi's people, pretending to be their infighting?" Zhu Cun came up with an idea.

Zhu Wen shook his head, and was pondering, when there seemed to be a burst of shouting, which was not really heard. He listened intently, and suddenly there was a loud bang, and hundreds of people shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky. In the midst of countless shouts and killings, there were countless screams of death. Immediately afterwards, it seemed that the entire Linyi City was in chaos, and shouts of killing were everywhere.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, they had already reconnoitred around here, and there were no officers and soldiers at all, what was going on?

With a bang, the door was opened, and an officer from Zhu Wen's department broke in panting, and shouted out loud: "Oh no, there is a fight outside!" ”

"Which side are the men and horses from, and which gate are attacking?" Zhu Wen immediately asked.

"It's not the people outside, it's the city, it's the city that's fighting. First the military camp of the royal capital was attacked, and then soon the whole city was in chaos. Now the city was in chaos, and I couldn't figure out what was going on. ”

Zhu Wen's expression moved, and he waved away the reporting officer, and asked him to immediately return to the camp to mobilize troops and horses, and prepare for duty.

"Wang Xianzhi's camp is under attack?" Zhu Zhen suddenly smiled, "Could it be that Huang Shuai attacked Wang Xianzhi?" ”

"It's not impossible, Wang Xianzhi didn't succeed enough, he was more than defeated, and when he was defeated, he came to vote for Huang Shuai, and as a result, as soon as he fought, he immediately fled from the battle, regardless of his friendly brothers, both times. Now they dare to send it to the door, and today the third brother went to greet Huang Shuai on behalf of them, and they dared to whip the third brother, and they were very angry after hearing that Huang Shuai knew about it. Zhu Cun thought about it, and there was only this possibility.

Zhu Wen couldn't help but smile coldly, "Since that's the case, then of course we have to help Huang Shuai." ”

"If you don't wait for the soldiers, Huang Shuai didn't give us a military order." Zhu Cun said with some concern.

Zhu Zhen pouted, "Second brother, you are too cautious, of course, the less people know about such things, the better, how can it be known to everyone." Let's just take this opportunity to find the person surnamed Bi, his mother, who has revenge and revenge! ”

"Let's go!" Zhu Wen shouted, picked up his sword and left. (To be continued......)
