Wang Tizhong was confident that just by crossing the river, half of his officers and soldiers would be killed. Let alone being unable to reach the shore, could the few tigers and wolves encountered by him survive half a cup of tea?
If the little eunuch wants to overthrow himself with such a force, he can only say that he either underestimates himself or underestimates Wang Zamao. When he thinks of Wang Zamao, he gets angry again. This is a bitch. He must take the opportunity to do it today. Got him.
At noon, the war drums sounded, and there was a loud killing sound on the other side.
"Brothers, the officers and soldiers are about to cross the water. Hold them steady for me. When they reach the middle of the river, fire arrows. Let me kill them!" Wang Tizhong stood on the earth platform by the river in armor and helmet and shouted loudly. Thousands of people by the riverside were shouting. The archer howled.
"Come on, come on, dog eunuch..." Wang TiZhong was both excited and nervous as he watched hundreds of boats rowing by on the river.
"Kill! Capture the king alive with a thousand taels of bounty!" Wang Zamao from the other side brandished his sword and roared. His men who had been waiting for the order for a long time immediately boarded the boat and rowed straight to the other side. At the same time, Lu Daqi and Xu Hongji on the east and west wings also launched an attack. .
The war drums were beating, and more than 3,000 soldiers crossed the water and roared to the other side. As soon as the boat reached the middle of the river, thousands of arrows from the other side were fired like heavy rain falling from the sky. The soldiers hurriedly raised wooden boards and other objects to block, but even so, many people were still among them. The arrow fell into the water.
"Fight back, shoot them to death... Don't stop rowing, charge forward..." Wang Zamao roared on the shore. Not far away, Chang Yu had an expressionless face. Li Muchian seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Sir, do you know that Pindao is most vulnerable right now?" worry about what?"
Chang Yu turned to look at Wang Zamao, who was roaring with teeth and claws: "Are you worried about killing all his people?" Li Muchian shook his head: "What I am worried about is accidentally beating Wang Tizhong to death. That master is not a kind person." Sorry, if the loyal subordinates in the king's body kill him, his people will no longer be used by the Lord."
Chang Yu nodded: "Everything can't be perfect. His fate depends on God's will."
If there is a third person here, he will definitely not understand what they are talking about, but Wang Tizhong can understand it. To be precise... he understands it immediately.
Wang Ti was very excited. When he saw the officers and soldiers' boat being hit by random arrows and being stopped in the middle of the river, he couldn't help but laugh: "Zuo Liangyu has to kneel down when he sees me, how can you, a little eunuch who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, still want to Sticking your hair and pouting in front of me..."
Before I finished speaking, I suddenly heard the sound of killing from behind. I turned around and saw thousands of soldiers and horses coming to kill me a few miles away due south and due west. I was immediately horrified. Whose people are they? Where did it come from?
Changes occurred in the rear, and the bandits on the riverside were suddenly in chaos. For a moment, they were like headless flies and didn't know what to do. They even forgot that there were thousands of officers and soldiers on the river directly in front of them who were rushing to cross.
"Liu Xi, Liu Xi..." Wang Tizhong shouted to his confidants, and the soldiers below shouted: "General, General Liu went to the east to defend the enemy..."
Damn it, how dare you defend yourself against such an enemy? Wang Tizhong felt a faint sense of fear in his heart at this moment. He was attacked from both sides, and he was only afraid that the danger would be lost. He hurriedly jumped off the high platform, got on his horse and organized his men to build a defense line to defend against the enemy.
But the opponent came very quickly. In the blink of an eye, they were already far away, and nearly a hundred cavalry were already fifty meters away... The killing sound became louder and louder, and the thieves became more and more frightened. Wang Tizhong turned back and glanced at the river: "Yu Ergouzi, hold on to the river, Fan Yu leads people and I to kill those... what the hell are these people behind!"
Visitors from the north!
The most powerful frontier army of the Ming Dynasty and the two battalions of the invincible Dongchang.
That's right, Wu Sangui and Tu Yuan are here!
The funny thing is that Wang Tizhong still doesn't know what kind of bloody scene he will face at this time.
A month ago, Wu Sangui was tricked by Chang Yu, forcing him to go south to help suppress the bandits and quell the chaos. Although Emperor Chongzhen made a cake for him to appease him, it was still difficult to understand the anger in Wu Sangui's heart. He had been holding back the fire. He could not bear it. Unable to control his temper, he and Li Yan marched slowly and leisurely, leading the troops to arrive on the other side of the Yangtze River the day before yesterday and returning with Zhenfei on the same road.
It must be said that he came at the right time, just when Chang Yu was wrestling with Wang TiZhong, so Chang Yu had an idea and sent someone across the river to pass the order, asking him to cross the river and go around behind Wang TiZhong, and use the smoke as a signal to launch a surprise attack.
In order to cooperate with the acting, Lu Zhenfei requisitioned hundreds of thousands of boats along the coast, which came in handy at this time. Just when Wang Tizhong met with Chang Yu last night to plot against him, thousands of Wu Sangui's soldiers had secretly crossed the river and circumnavigated the river. Later, they lurked, but because the ship was short and time was tight, many war horses could not be transported, otherwise the king's body would really be wiped out.
The first thing Wu Sangui did after crossing the river was to cut off Wang Tizhong's retreat and stationed himself more than ten miles due south. Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong's two battalions were lurking on the west bank of the river. When it was almost noon, Chen Ruxin went to the riverside to make smoke as a signal. Tu Yuan After discovering it, Wu Sangui was notified immediately, so they joined forces to attack and contain them.
There was a fire in Wu Sangui's heart that could not be extinguished. Even though he had traveled thousands of miles, it was not completely consumed, but was getting bigger and bigger. However, he did not dare to spread the fire to the young eunuch, so he could only kill the thief to relieve the fire, so he took the lead and led more than fifty people. Without hesitation, Qi rushed into the bandit formation and started killing them.
The thieves in the king's body rushed to fight. There was no way they could stop these frontier warriors, let alone the cavalry. In the blink of an eye, Wu Sangui opened the door and ran straight to the general's flag to kill him. The king's body was so surprised that his face turned pale. Who could be so brave? However, before the jaws were closed, Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong each led more than ten cavalry and came from the west to kill them. These two men were even more murderous, and no grass grew wherever they went.
"Hold it... hold it..." Wang Tizhong was suddenly speechless. He thought he knew he couldn't hold it anymore, and it took less than a hundred cavalry to break through his rear line of defense, not to mention there were thousands of infantry rushing behind him. Come.
"General, we can't hold the river anymore!" At this time, the soldiers shouted loudly, and the king made a sound in his body and looked back, and saw that officers and soldiers had landed on the shore.
Suddenly a group of officers and soldiers appeared behind the formation and came to kill the rebel army. The firepower was much weaker. Naturally, the officers and soldiers who rushed to land on the beach would not miss such a good opportunity. They took the opportunity to land on the beach and kill them with their swords. Shi, who was not interested in fighting, simply resisted for a few times and then fled. The hole in the defense line along the river was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more officers and soldiers landed...
Wang Tizhong's eyes were red and his whole body was trembling. He felt like the world was spinning. He had prepared hard all night and waited all morning. However, only three moments after the official start of the battle, he was already attacked from both sides by officers and soldiers who broke through the defense line...
The officers and soldiers at the front had landed one after another, and the defense line at the back was shrinking little by little... He couldn't accept this reality, but he knew that if he hesitated any longer, the entire army would soon be annihilated, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Surrender!"
The one who suddenly seemed like a dream was definitely not one of the Wang Ti. Lu Daqi, Xu Hongji, and even Wang Zamao who were watching the battle on the other side were all dumbfounded.
When we first crossed the river, the firepower in the king's body was so fierce that we knew mentally that it was going to be a fierce battle, and we were afraid that we would be beaten to death. But in the blink of an eye, the rebel army on the other side was suddenly in chaos. When we looked again, there were thousands of soldiers and horses killed behind the formation. Come.
It's ridiculous that the king's thief carefully arranged it, but it was destroyed by the little governor in an understatement. Lu Daqi sighed while stroking his beard. Jin Shenghuan next to him was confused: "Old Minister, whose person is that? How could he come from behind to kill him?"
"Of course he is one of ours." Lu Daqi glared at him: "As for how to attack from the rear, this... I have to ask the little governor."
"Aren't I just dreaming? Could it be that divine soldiers descended from heaven?" Zhu Guobi punched his head hard: "Or are there rebels?"
He didn't understand the situation at this time, because it was an internal strife among the rebels.
Xu Hongji smiled bitterly and sighed: "The gods and ghosts are unpredictable. No wonder he seems confident, but he has already ambushed the other side."
"The key is where did he get the ambush?" Zhao Zilong scratched his head: "Chang Yanling is still on the way here, and the soldiers and horses on the other side of the Yangtze River have been transferred to Anqing. Will he still spread the beans and form an army?"
"Maybe, I have always thought that the Taoist priest next to him is amazing." Zhu Guobi licked his lower lips: "I really want to give him a backup gift later and help me figure it out."
Wu Sangui was very angry and wanted to kill someone to vent his anger, but he had just found that feeling when the thief general came to surrender! It made him look confused!
Isn’t it said that the thieves in the south are all fierce? Why are they so soft? How can I follow them! He was just ordered to make a surprise attack on the bandits, so he didn't know about the relationship between Wang Tizhong and Chang Yu.
Looking at the king's body kneeling in front of him, Wu Sangui was very puzzled: "Why did you surrender so happily?"
Wang Tizhong raised his head and looked at the majestic man in front of him, but he couldn't answer the question: "Who are you and why do you appear behind me?"
"This general is Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. Who are you?" Wu Sangui said proudly with a raised brow.
"You are Wu Sangui, you, how did you get here?" It was obvious that Wang Tizhong was shocked when he heard Wu Sangui's name.
"Tell me your name!" Wu Sangui shouted coldly, Wang TiZhong became angry when he saw his imposing posture: "I, Wang TiZhong"
In the king's body? Wu Sangui raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Tu Yuan: "Have you heard of it?"
Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong both shook their heads, then looked at Ma Ke and shook his head.
"I am the most powerful general under Bai Wang, and you have never heard of my name." Wang Tizhong yelled, feeling humiliated. Tu Yuan turned over and dismounted: "Have you heard of me, Tu Yuan of the Black Tiger Camp of Dongchang?"
"Nobody, I've never heard of you!" Wang Tizhong curled his lips, Tu Yuan raised his hand and slapped him to death: "Then why should I have heard of you?" He said with a blank look and looked back at Wu Sangui: " Who is Bai Wang?"
Wu Sangui staggered and almost fell off his horse.
