"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Just when the soldiers of the Henan Army had just recovered from the fire blunderbuss fired by the Fengwu Army, and were about to reorganize and fight back with the old-fashioned fire blunderbuss in their hands, the red-coated cannons of the Fengwu Army had also been adjusted to shoot at Zhu Yuan. Fifty light artillery pieces were fired at the same time, immediately disintegrating the newly organized Henan Army formation...
Faced with such a fierce artillery attack from the Fengwu Army, the veteran soldiers of the Henan Army could barely maintain their formation. However, those young men who were forcibly recruited into the army just a month ago had never seen this formation before. Just a month ago, they were Scholars, farmers, waiters in restaurants, cooks, tailors in cloth shops, etc.
They rushed out now, relying on their bravery inspired by the Henan Army before the war. Now looking at the blood dripping in front of them and feeling the cruelty of the battlefield, they were so frightened that their whole bodies were shaking and their legs were weak. Got it!
As the first soldier put down his weapon and retreated to escape, many soldiers of the Henan Army just woke up from a dream and dropped their weapons one after another and started to escape. Seeing this situation, Gao Dingshan flashed a ruthless look in his eyes and immediately shouted loudly ordered:
"Execution by the Military Law Corps! Deserters will be killed without mercy!"
After receiving Gao Dingshan's order, the Military Law Corps was not polite to their former comrades and immediately killed dozens of deserters. The soldiers of the Henan Army were in a dilemma between the Fengwu Army and the Military Law Corps, not knowing what to do. At that moment, the Fengwu troops in the camp launched a charge. They surrounded them on both sides, trying to make tens of thousands of Henan troops into dumplings and swallow them in one gulp.
Amidst the deafening shouts of killing from the Fengwu Army, the officers and soldiers of the Henan Army finally recognized the situation. A large number of soldiers put down their weapons and fled in all directions. At first, the Henan Army's military law team was able to kill a few people to establish their authority, but There were so many deserters that soon even the military law team was broken up...
Seeing this scene, Gao Dingshan felt extremely sad and angry. Looking at the Fengwu Army soldiers who were charging and chasing them not far away, his eyes were filled with monstrous anger without any hesitation. Gao Dingshan, who was determined, ignored After being dissuaded by his subordinates, he walked towards the charge of Fengwu Army.
Now that he has decided to go out of the city and fight against the Fengwu Army, Gao Dingshan has already made up his mind to become benevolent if he fails. But now that the situation is over, he has no face to return to the city to meet his father. He himself is not willing to live in this world, and only wants to die before his death. La Fengwujun acted as a back-up supporter.
At three o'clock in the morning, Yuan Song woke up from the bed and stretched out very comfortably. After letting go of his worries, he slept particularly soundly. After a simple wash, Yuan Song, who put on his military uniform, was in his Chinese military camp. An excited Ma Zhongjun, Gu Shouting and others came to the tent.
"Report to General Yuan, our army won a complete victory in this battle. Although we only killed more than 3,000 enemy troops, we captured more than 10,000 enemy troops. In addition, there were a large number of enemy troops who dispersed under the cover of night. There must be at least 10,000 people escaping!" Ma Zhongjun, with a smile on his face, reported to Yuan Songhui:
This result was already within Yuan Song's expectation. He nodded slightly and praised:
"You guys did a great job!"
Faced with Yuan Song's praise, the generals did not dare to take credit and all said in unison:
"It all depends on the general's command..."
Yuan Song nodded with a smile and asked again:
"When the enemy army was defeated last night, did the enemy army in Yujing open the city gate to respond?"
Facing Yuan Song's inquiry, Ma Zhongjun said without hesitation:
"Just as the general thought, the enemy did open the west gate to respond. However, by that time, General Gu had already eliminated the enemy's bait and immediately moved forward near the west gate. When the enemy saw the appearance of our army, they immediately became very angry. I was so scared that I closed the city gate!"
"By the way, General, we also caught a big fish for you!"
"Big fish?" Yuan Song asked with interest:
"Yeah! It's definitely a big fish!" Ma Zhongjun said confidently:
"General Gu caught this big fish himself!"
Yuan Song immediately turned his attention to Gu Shouting and asked:
"Who is this big fish? Bring him here!"
Gu Shouting smiled modestly and said:
"I'm telling you, this big fish is Gao Zongchang's eldest son Gao Dingshan. This man is quite bloody. When we were defeated last night, he not only didn't run away, but went to the front line to fight with our army. The general happened to have seen this man before. He is a human being, so after I recognized this person last night, I ordered someone to capture him alive!"
"When Gao Dingshan saw that we wanted to capture him alive, he wanted to draw his sword and kill himself. Although I had people rescue him, he was still seriously injured and is still unconscious. However, the military doctor said that there is a possibility of his survival. Very big··················”
Yuan Songwen thought for a while and then ordered:
"Tell the military doctors to do their best to save Gao Dingshan! After Gao Dingshan recovers from his injuries, he will be sent back to Yujing!"
As soon as these words came out, some of the generals looked at each other. Not sure what Yuan Song wanted to do, Ma Zhongjun hesitated and said tentatively:
"General, Gao Dingshan is Gao Zongchang's favorite son. Gao Zongchang also identified him as his successor early on. After we rescue Gao Dingshan, we might as well use him as a bargaining chip to ask Gao Zongchang to surrender!"
After hearing this, Yuan Song smiled confidently and said lightly:
"If Gao Zongchang had the heart to resist and fight to the end, he would definitely not surrender to our army just because of a son. Putting Gaoding Mountain back would make Gao Zongchang feel the determination of our army to win. If he had the heart to surrender, then he would This move will definitely make him feel the benevolence and righteousness of our army and reduce his worries about surrender!"
After listening to Yuan Song's explanation, the generals suddenly realized and said in unison:
"General, you are brilliant! I will do it now!"

Dazhou, Luoan
Shangguan Mansion, study room
"Sir, our army's fierce offensive on the front line of Jianmen made Jiang Guang feel that the front line was tight, so he was forced to make a compromise with Lin Shize, allowing Sun Liangyu to enter Shu, and promised Sun Liangyu to join the cabinet, and gave up the post of Minister of the Ministry of War to Sun Liangyu!" Chen Jingyu bowed to Shangguan Hongyuan and said:
Shangguan Hongyuan, who was closing his eyes to rest his mind, asked calmly:
"What's going on with Sun Liangyu?"
Chen Jingyu said in a deep voice
"Under Sun Liangyu's order, the Chu army had stationed 30,000 troops in Yiling two months ago and had been waiting for the southern patrol court to make a formal decision. After Jiang Guang made a compromise, Lin Shize immediately sent a letter to Sun Liangyu Feige, According to the date, the Chu army should have entered Shu by now and are currently heading towards Rongcheng!"
After hearing the news, Shangguan Hongyuan opened his eyes and looked at Chen Jingyu, and said in a calm voice:
"How are you preparing?"
Seeing that Shangguan Hongyuan really asked about this matter, Chen Jingyu said confidently:
"Wang Sizhong, Hou Chengrui, Shi Xiang and others are ready. It can be said that everything is ready now. All we need is the east wind! We are just waiting to work together tomorrow night to conquer Jianmen, take Rongcheng and completely destroy the Southern Patrol Court!"
Seeing Chen Jingyu's confident look, Shangguan Hongyuan nodded slightly. Lin Shize and Jiang Guang also understood that if the sword gate was lost, the morale of the imperial troops patrolling the south would be ruined. Rongcheng could not be defended at all, so they also took the sword in their hands. All the soldiers and horses were concentrated in Jianmen, and there were only a few thousand troops in Rongcheng responsible for daily security. Therefore, as long as Jianmen was captured, this protracted war could be declared over... ············
Shangguan Hongyuan's heart became hot when he thought of this. He had been waiting for this moment for too long. Two years had passed since the Luo'an Incident. In the past two years, he had been thinking about how to destroy the damn... He visited the imperial court in the south and killed all the bastards who dared to betray him. Now the result has finally seen a glimmer of light. Shangguan Hongyuan can't wait to see the heads of Lin Shize, Lin Yi and father and son. Sent in front of myself.
In addition, there is his eldest nephew, whom he has not seen for two years. I heard news from Rongcheng that he has grown taller and stronger. I don’t know if he still remembers his uncle. I think of Shangguan Hongyuan here. A meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Two years ago, I accidentally let you escape and almost ruined my decades-long plan. However, you can escape but the monk cannot escape the temple. This time I will capture you again. As my uncle, I must take good care of you. Punish you so that you will never be able to escape from the palm of your hand for the rest of your life!
After sorting out his excitement, Shangguan Hongyuan slowly exhaled a breath and continued to ask Chen Jingyu;
"How are the arrangements in Yongliang?"
Chen Jingyu nodded and responded:
"Everything is going very smoothly as planned, and they are all grateful to you, Mr. Chief Assistant!"
Shangguan Hongyuan nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, his old eyes full of ambition...
Yongliang was the territory of the Qin King Jiang Zhe of the Great Zhou clan. He was also the main participant in the Luo'an Incident. In the plan of Lin Shize and Jiang Guang, he and Zhao Fuqu attacked Shangguan Hongyuan from east to west, and let Shangguan Hongyuan, who was in Guanzhong, It's hard to resist being attacked from far away!
To be honest, this plan is very good. If it develops according to Lin Shize and Jiang Guang's expectations, Shangguan Hongyuan may have been killed. The little emperor Jiang Rui will return to the throne with the assistance of Jiang Guang and Lin Shize. He returned to Luo'an and tried to rebuild the Great Zhou Dynasty, but luck was not as good as fate. Ye Mingsheng came out halfway and destroyed Zhao Fuqu. This undoubtedly relieved Shangguan Hongyuan a lot of pressure, and this also directly caused Qin Wang Jiang Zhe's attack in the west was not going well.
Yongliang was originally the western border of the Zhou Dynasty. It can be said to be a desolate land. It was also home to foreign tribes such as the Kipchak Khanate and Tubo. It has been a war-torn place since ancient times. Therefore, after being unable to attack for a long time, Jiang Zhe was forced to withdraw due to logistical constraints. At this point, Lin Shize and Jiang Guang's east-west pincer plan was officially declared bankrupt!
Recently, as Shangguan Hongyuan's Luo'an Forbidden Army reached Jianmen in an unstoppable manner in Sichuan and Shu, the southern patrol court in Rongcheng was plunged into a life-and-death situation. Jiang Guang also thought of his uncle Jiang Zhe, King of Qin, again. He wrote several letters in succession. He sent a sincere letter of request for help to Jiang Zhe, hoping that Jiang Zhe would take advantage of the Zhou clan and send troops to Chencang again to contain Shangguan Hongyuan's troops, so as to reduce the pressure on Jianmen... ···············
After receiving Jiang Guang's letter, King Qin Jiang Zhe also felt the same way. Although the current situation in Yongliang was not very good, for the sake of the blood of the Zhou clan, Jiang Zhe, who was nearly seventy years old, was still ready to lead an expedition to defeat the traitor Shangguan for the Zhou Dynasty. Hongyuan, but who would have thought that this uncle of the Zhou clan would suddenly suffer a stroke a week before the expedition.
Following Jiang Zhe's stroke, the Liang Army's campaign to conquer Shangguan Hongyuan naturally ended without a problem. There have been rumors that Jiang Zhe was poisoned by the Supervision Department, but the Supervision Department flatly denied this and insisted. He never did this to Jiang Zhe!
However, one thing that is certain is that after Jiang Zhe suffered a stroke and was unable to govern, the power of Yongliang fell into the hands of Jiang Zhe's three sons, and the Supervision Department also tried to sow discord among these three people, making the already poor people Yongliang fell into internal strife and was no longer able to interfere in Shangguan Hongyuan's war against Sichuan and Shu!
Although it has been decided to capture the southern patrol court and regain control of the emperor to command the princes, it is necessary to have a decisive battle with the Fengwu Army as soon as possible without giving the Fengwu Army time to develop. However, before that, Shangguan Hongyuan still decided to capture Going down to the territory of Yongliang, although the territory of Yongliang is desolate, the Liang army can be said to be a powerful force. When the Zhou Dynasty was at its peak more than a hundred years ago, there were two elite cavalry, one was the Youyan cavalry, and the other was the Yongliang Iron Cavalry·······················
Today, with the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Yongliang cavalry is no longer as strong as it used to be, but the cavalry force still maintains a scale of ten thousand people. With the stroke of King Jiang Zhe of Qin, Yongliang fell into internal strife. This Yongliang cavalry force The cavalryman is a big piece of fat placed in front of Shangguan Hongyuan, tempting Shangguan Hongyuan all the time!
There were originally two elite cavalry units in the Luo'an Forbidden Army, the Long Xiang Army and the Iron Cavalry Army. However, following the Luo'an Incident and a series of battles in the Luo'an Forbidden Army in recent years, these two elite cavalry units were also seriously damaged and were urgently needed. A large number of supplements, and in Shangguan Hongyuan's view, the Yongliang cavalry is the best supplementary soldier.
In addition to the Yongliang Iron Cavalry, the other generals of the Liang Army are also battle-hardened warriors with very strong combat effectiveness. In the previous battle of Chencang, although the Forbidden Army under Shangguan Hongyuan defended Chencang, the Liang Army's Shangguan Hongyuan was still deeply impressed by his combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Shangguan Hongyuan hopes to get the Liang Army and bring them to the war with the Fengwu Army. Shangguan Hongyuan believes that this will definitely give Ye Mingsheng a fatal surprise... ···············
