Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Stick
Now that it was hard to wait for the collapse of the Dacheng Imperial Court, they cultivators had a chance to come out and take a breath.
However, it also has to assist the humane hidden dragon to seek a life benefit for the future.
Sacrifice is indispensable!
"Senior brother, you just have to go, in the future, my Taiyi Sect will definitely carry it forward!
I, Tai Yi Zong, have made such a great sacrifice for Chen Cheqi, and this Che Cavalry General will definitely not treat us badly when he gains power in the future. I'm too Yi Zong to prosper!"
Thinking like this, I didn't see that Chen Buwen's personality was cold and selfish, but he was narrow-minded and arrogant.
Otherwise, how could the position of the head of the Chen family in Hezhong fall into the hands of his concubine Chen Buzhi, instead of his sister-in-law Chen Buwen?
But it's only to blame that this Weiyun Dao person doesn't know anyone!
At this time, the Liangzhou army had already rushed into the city, and it was about to seize the siege city......
In such an era, the attack and defense of the city were generally carried out around the city walls.
As long as the city wall is lost, the entire city can almost be said to be lost.
Seeing that the defenders of Lingzhou could not block the city gate, they had retreated in a hurry, and soon the Liangzhou army had captured Guancheng and planted the flag on Guancheng.
When Wang Zhenling rushed to Lingfu County with a large army, Wang Hu and the others had already taken their burden one by one, kneeling down in front of Wang Zhenling to plead guilty.
"The subordinates are incompetent, they don't hold the city, and they hope that the general will punish them!"
On the way here, Wang Zhenling already knew the details of the loss of Guancheng.
At this time, it is not surprising at all.
Although Wang Zhenling also knew in his heart that this time it was a crime of non-war......
But then again, Wang Hu is loyal, but serving as the commander of a county, and even leading troops to fight, is far behind.
However, this is Wang Zhenling's own pot, he knows that Wang Hu's ability is not good, but because of trustworthy reasons, he sent Wang Hu here.
Therefore, the responsibility is actually mainly on Wang Zhenling himself.
However, even though I said that, I still can't go unpunished!
"Pull it down, hit the thirty sticks hard!"
"Yes!"
Lu Da saw that it was not good, no matter whether the relationship with Wang Hu was good or bad, they pleaded with Wang Zhenling one after another.
"Why, do you want to leave you a way back now, in case you are defeated, you don't have to be subject to military law?" Wang Zhenling sneered.
That's too much!
Whether it is Ruan Jing or Du Ming, they are all silent, and they don't look at pleading anymore.
Immediately, there were cronies and guards, who pulled Wang Hu out, pressed him on the ground and crackled.
The voice reached the ears of Ruan Jing Du Ming and the others, but it made them involuntarily break out in a cold sweat.
It's as if the sticks were on oneself!
"My husband is not humiliated, if I have such a day, I would rather commit suicide than be beaten in such humiliation as being pressed to the ground!"
Soon after the beating with the military stick, Wang Hu had already fainted and was carried down for treatment.
Wang Zhenling looked coldly at the other officials who were leading the troops.
Immediately, all these officials stood on end, and cold sweat flowed.
Wang Zhenling didn't even let Wang Hu go, and if they were like this, I'm afraid they were all even worse!
However, surprisingly, Wang Zhenling did not scold them, and said lightly: "I already know about the loss of Guancheng, but I can't actually blame you."
Hmph, that Chen Buwen actually colluded with the demon thief and used the demon method to break the city. I really forgot the laws of the imperial court!"
After saying those two words, the other anxious officials gradually let go of their hearts.
"Today, the monarchs will go with me, recapture Guancheng, and drive out the Liangzhou army!"
Wang Zhenling said lightly.
Everyone was in their hearts, but they didn't dare not be.
At such a time, after Chen Buwen took Guancheng, he did not rush into Lingzhou, but temporarily rested.
After all, after walking on Lingzhou Road for so long, people are sleepy and tired. The army does not rest, but it does not work!
However, before the Liangzhou army could rest and recuperate, Wang Zhenling had already led 20,000 Lingzhou soldiers and horses to block them in the city.
However, Wang Zhenling directly camped on a mountain only a few miles away from Guancheng, but he did not attack the city, so he was consumed with the Liangzhou army.
In this way, Liang Zhoujun sat up.
Of course, they can ignore Wang Zhenling's camp, take a detour directly, and kill into Lingfu County, anyway, the place where Wang Zhenling camped can't stop them.
But the problem is that in this way, Wang Zhenling is likely to copy their back road, directly occupy Guancheng again, block their back road, and then pursue them all the way. That's not so good.
Therefore, Chen Buwen's only choice is to defeat Wang Zhenling's Dazhai first, and then enter Lingzhou to do whatever he wants!
But the problem is that Wang Zhenling said that he wanted to expel the Liangzhou army and recapture Guancheng.
However, he always refused to fight Chen Buwen head-on.
That Chen Buwen attacked Wang Zhenling's Dazhai several times, and he was so angry that he almost scolded, he had never seen such a scoundrel.
Wang Zhenling ignored the scolding that Chen Bu heard, and was nailed here.
The Liangzhou army labor division went on an expedition, and transportation was difficult.
A pound of grain from Liangzhou was transported here, and most of it was consumed on the road, and only about three taels were left in the Liangzhou army.
And Chen Buwen's army of 30,000 people eat horses every day, which is a huge number.
Such a huge cost, Liangzhou still supports the living in a short time, if it is a long time, I am afraid that there is a grain mountain will be emptied!
After persisting like this for five or six days, Chen Buwen really couldn't stand it and could only attack Wang Zhenling's camp like crazy.
And Wang Zhenling's camp is stationed on the mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a water source to replenish.
He wouldn't make that same mistake!
Behind him, there is the entire Lingzhou as a supply.
In this case, where is Wang Zhenling willing to fight Chen Buwen?
Every day, soldiers were just sent to build camps and lay out more fortifications.
When the unheard army attacked, it relied on the fortifications for defense.
There is not much difference in the strength of the two sides, one is 30,000 and the other is 20,000.
However, although there are many soldiers in Liangzhou, after all, the lone army is deep and the labor division is on an expedition.
The Lingzhou soldiers not only waited for work, but also relied on the fortifications of the large battalion to defend.
This kind of coming and going has already smoothed the gap between the two sides.
If you want to capture the camp under the personal command of Wang Zhenling, it is like a dream.
Therefore, Chen Buwen attacked the camp several times in a row, but he was unsuccessful, and he could only think of other ways to scold.
Wang Zhenling has in his hands the appointment and order of Chen Buzhi, the patriarch of the Chen clan in the river.
It is impossible to borrow the Yellow Emperor's gods to deal with it.
Since this is the case, then I have to work again with the Taoists of Taiyi Sect.
At dusk, the Liangzhou army was thwarted again, leaving hundreds of corpses down the mountain in disarray.
