Zhu Wen was in the front directing the trench filling to break out of the encirclement, and had no time to take care of the rear troops. After Tang He was killed, the morale of Sergeant Zhu's soldiers suddenly lost, and the rear army's formation suddenly fell apart.
"kill!"
"Capture Zhu Wenzheng alive!"
The shouts of death from behind were getting closer and closer, and the rain of arrows in front was as uninterrupted as locusts. Finally, the first frightened soldier Zhu dropped the sack in his hand and ran away screaming.
The emotion of fear spread instantly like a plague. The first one soon followed, the second, the third, the hundredth...
"Come back, you cowards!"
Zhu Wenzheng was furious, but no matter how much he shouted at this moment, no soldiers stayed in front of him.
"hateful!"
Seeing that nothing could be done, Zhu Wenzheng cursed secretly, turned his horse's head and headed towards the city.
Zhu Wenzheng was extremely smart. He knew very well that the Sui army was heavily besieged outside. How could a man escape alone? It would be better to escape back to the city and hide in a residential house, and then go to Zhu Yuanzhang after the limelight has passed.
The idea is indeed good, but the reality is very dry.
At the city gate, hundreds of Sui soldiers stood in formation, blocking Zhu Wenzheng's way like a black iron wall.
An old general with white beard and hair held a gold-backed sword, stood up on his horse, and said with a laugh: "I, Huang Zhong, are here. Junior, why don't you get off your horse and teach me!"
It turned out that after Zhu Wenzheng led his army to break through, Yang Ye on the other side led the army to capture the undefended Yecheng.
"The old man is looking for death!"
Zhu Wenzheng roared loudly, clapped his horse and stepped forward to take Huang Zhong with his gun. In his heart, how could such an old man block his way?
"Ding dong, it was detected that Huang Zhong entered the vigorous state, the force is +5, the base force is 98, and the current force has increased to 103."
"Junior suffers death!"
With a roar, Huang Zhong leaped forward and swooped down with his sword.
Zhu Wen's expression changed, and he hurriedly raised his spear to block him. Before he could raise his spear, Huang Zhong's broadsword whizzed towards him.
But with a "pop" sound, the bloody head flew into the air. Zhu Wenzheng's headless body swayed and fell under the horse.
"Ding dong, it was detected that Zhu Wenzheng was killed by Huang Zhong. The host received 9 soul points. The current soul points have increased to 254."
With Zhu Wenzheng's death, the encirclement and annihilation war came to an end. The next day, as fate would have it, the Sui troops who entered the city went out to calm the people, opened warehouses and distributed grain to calm the people's hearts, and reported to Yang Gao on flying horses.
. . . . . . . . . .
Beiping, Changli.
Han Xin, the newly appointed coach of Yang Gao, was sitting at attention. Sitting on the left was Zhang Xun, the former commander-in-chief of the army. Among them were Lu Wenlong, Xiong Kuohai, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun, Ma Lin and other brave generals. both sides. Except for Zhao Yun and a few other generals, the others showed disdain and did not take the superior Han Xin seriously.
It’s no wonder that Lu Wenlong, Nan Jiyun, etc. are all brave generals who have fought bloody battles on the battlefield for many years, but Han Xin was parachuted into the coach almost instantly, and his reputation has not yet been established. How can they be willing to accept it? If it weren't for Zhang Xun's pressure, these people were still debating whether they would come to see Han Xin. ,
Han Xin glanced at the generals in the hall, turned to Zhang Xun and said, "General Zhang, Xin is here for the first time. I would like to ask General Zhang to introduce the situation of Zhao Kuangyin's unit to Xin."
Han Xin was naturally polite to Zhang Xun. After all, Zhang Xun had been a general for many years. More than half of the generals in the army in front of him were promoted by Zhang Xun. Even if he wanted to establish his authority, Han Xin would not be stupid enough to use Zhang Xun to establish his authority.
Zhang Xun nodded and said slowly: "At present, Zhao Kuangyin has about 80,000 soldiers and horses, of which 20,000 are Turkic troops. The leading general is named Tufashu Jingneng, and I heard that he is also Temujin's favorite general.
Since Zhao Kuangyin followed Temujin into Youzhou, he has recruited surrenders and rebels along the way. In addition to the Youzhou rebels, there are also Khitan, Shiwei, and Xi people, all of whom are small tribes who cannot survive. These should be the current subordinates of Zhao Kuangyin. The one with more troops had about forty thousand people, but its combat effectiveness was extremely low soon after it was formed.
In addition, Zhao Kuangyin also has an elite direct lineage under his command. They should be the old troops who have followed him since Bingzhou. It is roughly estimated that there should be 20,000 people. They are brave in fighting and extremely powerful. Before the patrol, they had underestimated this army and were defeated by Zhao Kuangyin, who turned the enemy's defense into an attack. "
Han Xin still maintained a humble look on his face and continued to ask: "What are the movements of Zhao Kuangyin's troops in the past few days?"
"Zhao Thief has been advancing rapidly since his victory in the previous round. His vanguard Pan Mei's troops have now passed Pinggang City, and they are likely to spy on Beiping County." Zhang Xun walked to the map and pointed to the place names.
Han Xin followed what Zhang Xun pointed out and immediately stepped forward to take a closer look and said: "Pan Mei is traveling so fast, wouldn't she have already separated from Zhao Kuangyin's main force?"
When the generals in the hall heard this, their eyes lit up, and they understood that a fighting opportunity had appeared. The brave general Lu Wenlong took the lead and said loudly: "General, Pan Mei is too arrogant. Please give the last general a fine cavalry, general." The general will definitely defeat Pan Mei and give Zhao Kuangyin a head-on blow!"
"General, I have fought against Pan Mei before. This person's martial arts skills are mediocre and not very outstanding. Now I am just getting carried away with some small victories. I only need three thousand elite cavalry to defeat this thief." Place your head under the tent."
It was Yue Yun who spoke. After being rescued by Han Yanzhi, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and others, he also stayed under Zhang Xun's command.
"The general is also willing to go!"
Han Yanzhi has the closest relationship with Yue Yun, and he also came out to support him at the moment.
Han Xin frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "Zhao Kuangyin only won a small victory, how could he be so careless? What's more, if it is a long-distance attack, the Turkic cavalry should be the best choice. There are many flaws in this, and we should be careful. .”
"The general thinks too highly of Zhao Kuangyin!"
Lu Wenlong said disdainfully: "Zhao Kuangyin was just a general under Liu Wuzhou in the past, and he used his servants to kill his master and swallow up Liu Wuzhou's foundation. Within a few years, he was defeated by the puppet Tang Dynasty. He lost the city and the land, and fled to the Turks in embarrassment. Such a villain wins. It is reasonable to get carried away after a fight. As for the Turks, they are the parents of the Zhao thief, how can the Zhao thief dare to use them so easily?"
After saying this, Lu Wenlong couldn't help but laugh proudly, and Yue Yun and Han Yanzhi on the side also joined in.
"Never underestimate your enemy!"
Han Xin slowly sat back on the throne, glanced at Lu Wenlong coldly, and said in a deep voice: "If Zhao Kuangyin was really incompetent, how could he have so many old troops following him when he was in exile? Temujin simply appointed his trusted generals Why should he, Zhao Kuangyin, be the leader in commanding the three armies? This man is by no means an ordinary person, so don’t underestimate this guy!"
Lu Wenlong's lips moved, as if he wanted to persuade him again. Han Xin waved his hand and said decisively: "I have made up my mind, and there is no need to persuade the generals."
