After Zhu Shan's body flew through the air, he landed on the ground with a thud. Originally, Zhu Shan was hit on the chest with a hammer, and his internal organs were already shattered. Now it hits the ground again, and he is vomiting blood.
The only trace of consciousness left in his mind supported him to stare at Zhou Huhou with disbelief on his pained face.
Zhu Shan opened his mouth to speak, but a mouthful of blood welled up again. Before the words came out, he crooked his neck and fell to the ground.
Zhou Huhou did not care about Zhu Shan's life or death, and continued to charge with the drum beater and golden hammer. The hammer swept across and hit the Jizhou soldiers one after another. Some of them were seriously injured, while the more serious ones were immediately hammered to death.
Dou Wei was also a tiger general under Zhao Fan. Seeing Zhou Huhou's strength, he was frightened.
Dou Wei suddenly understood.
When Zhou Huhou and Zhu Shan fought before, he was absolutely clumsy, and Zhu Shan was killed directly.
Dou Wei's strength was not much different from Zhu Shan's. He knew that he was no match for Zhou Huhou, so he didn't attack at all because it was seeking death. Dou Wei turned his eyes and saw Zhao Shan who was stabbing with his sword.
Killing Zhao Shan was the greatest achievement.
Dou Wei knew that Zhao Shan was definitely not weak if he dared to fight in battle, but the temptation to kill Zhao Shan was too great. As long as he kills Zhao Shan, not only will the outcome be reversed, but he will also receive endless rewards and become a general.
Dou Wei carried the horse to kill Zhao Shan. The moment he got close to Zhao Shan, the horse stabbed Zhao Shan in the chest.
Zhao Shan's expression remained unchanged. After blocking with the Long Yuan Sword, he used his strength to swing the pole away, and then slashed Huashan with one move. The sharp blade reached Dou Wei's head in the blink of an eye.
Dou Wei held the horse with both hands to block.
Click!
The horse is broken.
Long Yuan's sword struck Dou Wei's neck like a broken bamboo.
Blood spurted out, Dou Wei fell from his horse, his body twitched twice and then lost his life.
Zhao Shan and Zhou Huhou jointly attacked, and the offensive became more and more fierce and faster. The Jizhou soldiers in front were defeated one after another. At the same time, a large number of cavalry led by Wei Polu rushed up to cover up the killing, further defeating the surrounding Jizhou soldiers.
The last infantrymen pressed forward and became the straw that broke the camel's back, completely wiping out the Jizhou soldiers who were stubbornly resisting.
Zhao Shan's side is unstoppable.
Jizhou soldiers collapsed, and the news came back to Zhao Fan. Zhao Fan also frowned deeply, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He was fine just now, why did he suddenly collapse?
"Report to the King of Wei that General Dou Wei has been killed."
Some soldiers shouted loudly and were already panicking.
"King Wei, General Zhu Shan was killed."
"Report to the King of Wei that General Ximen Dalang was killed."
"Report to the King of Wei that General Pan was killed."
When the continuous shouting came back, Zhao Fan was even more panicked and couldn't sit still anymore.
Hou Yong also retreated to Zhao Fan at this time, his eyes were deep, a light flashed across his eyes, but he instantly regained his composure, and said quickly: "King Wei, we can't stop it anymore, seize the time to retreat. Our rear is still there. If there is a cavalry attack, we must break through.”
Wang Chengzhong also had bright eyes and said, "King Wei, retreat."
Zhao Fan was unwilling and did not take immediate action. He looked at the military advisor Tian Chunyi on the side and asked, "Military advisor, what do you think?"
Tian Chunyi looked around and said quickly: "Your Majesty, we have no choice but to withdraw."
Zhao Fan couldn't help but sigh.
This time I came to fight, full of fighting spirit and hope, but I didn't expect to be defeated in the blink of an eye.
Lost too quickly.
Zhao Fan was unwilling but had no choice. Looking at the army that was defeated across the board, he reluctantly ordered: "Withdraw the troops."
The order was passed on, and Zhao Fan quickly evacuated with Wang Chengzhong, Hou Yong, Tian Chunyi and others.
The army was even more defeated.
Zhao Shan's Xuanjia Army charged all the way and killed more Jizhou soldiers under the attack of the cavalry led by Jin Wuwei and Zhao Feihu.
Jizhou soldiers collapsed. Zhao Fan, who was born in the year of the rabbit, ran very fast and escaped in the shortest time. Even though Zhao Shan and his men chased and fought fiercely, they were unable to catch up, allowing Zhao Fan to escape all the way.
It didn't matter that Zhao Shan didn't catch Zhao Fan. Defeating Zhao Fan's army was the greatest victory. Next, fight all the way to Jizhou. With Zhao Shan's status as emperor, he can naturally call on Jizhou to surrender.
If Zhao Shan had not defeated Zhao Fan, it would have been difficult to capture Jizhou. After taking Jizhou, Zhao Fan became a defeated general and fled back, and he became different.
If Zhao Shan doesn't take action, someone will act for profit.
This is the general trend.
Zhao Shan led Wei Polu to clear the battlefield and prepare for the next entry into Jizhou. Zhao Fan, who retreated on the other side, led Wang Chengzhong, Hou Yong, Tian Chunyi and others to retreat all the way, and did not stop until they approached Gecheng at night.
Zhao Fan returned to Gecheng, with only more than 6,000 troops left.
The remaining 6,000 people of the 60,000-strong army fled back and lost countless people. In fact, not many were killed, because many people ran away.
Zhao Fan returned to Gecheng and took Tian Chunyi to the city. He hid in the city and licked his wounds while discussing strategies. He did not summon soldiers or arrange defense for the time being.
Zhu Shan, Dou Wei and others were killed, and Hou Yong and Wang Chengzhong took advantage.
Hou Yong was thirty years old and quite heroic. He looked at Jizhou Biejia Wang Chengzhong aside and said, "Wang Biejia, we are officials of the imperial court. Zhao Fan was defeated, and I think it's time to make a choice."
Wang Chengzhong looked deeply convinced and agreed: "To be honest, General Hou, I also have this idea. From the beginning to the end, we are all court officials, how can we become traitors?"
Hou Yong smiled and asked: "In that case, does Wang Biejia agree to the military advice?"
"agree!"
Wang Chengzhong answered without hesitation.
Hou Yong nodded and said: "I am responsible for liaising with the generals in the army and arranging the military remonstrance tonight. Wang Biejia is responsible for liaising with the civilian officials in the army. We will remonstrate in an hour."
"no!"
Wang Chengzhong shook his head and answered.
Hou Yong was a little surprised and asked, "Why not?"
Wang Chengzhong said: "An hour is too long, and it is easy for variables to arise. On the one hand, if His Majesty leads the army to Katsuragi during this period, we will have no room and room to operate; on the other hand, if Zhao Fan takes other actions, we It would be impossible to implement the plan.”
Hou Yong asked: "In this case, how long is appropriate?"
Wang Chengzhong said: "Two quarters of an hour!"
"no problem!"
Hou Yong gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement, because there are advantages to being pressed for time.
After discussion, the two went their separate ways, completing the connection between civil servants and generals in the shortest possible time, and then led a large number of soldiers to move to the temporarily occupied residence of Zhao Fan.
The army arrived outside the house, and after a brief fight, they killed the royal guards guarding the door of the house and surrounded the house.
The news that Wang Chengzhong and Hou Yong were coming to kill also reached Zhao Fan's ears.
Zhao Fan was so angry that his body was trembling slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Bastards, these bastards, how dare they? They eat my own clothes and wear my own clothes, but they dare to fight against me, how shameless!"
