Chapter 29 Thunderbolt 3
Let's say that Qiao Yu and Niu Feng led 5,000 people to disguise themselves as the yellow-headed army, concealed Yang Fuguang and successfully entered the martial arts city.
Han Jian and Zhang Zha walked down the city and came to Qiao Yu and Niu Feng. Han Jian asked, "Who is General Li Yi?"
It turned out that Qiao Qian lied that he was Li Qian before entering the city, while Niu Feng claimed to be Gong Xian. Qiao Yu replied, "General Han, it's Xichuan Liqi!"
Han Jian saw that Qiao Li was majestic, indeed like a general, and the "yellow-headed army" soldiers behind him were loose, and their armor was crooked, indeed like a defeated army, so his alert suddenly disappeared.
Han Jian said, "General Li, get off and take a rest. It will be safe when you get here. The martial arts city is as solid as gold, and no matter how many Qi troops there are, they can't get martial arts!"
Qiao Hao suddenly shook the reins, and the red mane horse flew over and went straight to Han Jian. Han Jian was shocked and was about to escape. Qiao Hao shouted, "I'm Qiao Qi, General Qiao Jian, General of Qi. Han Jian, today is your death!"
As soon as Qiao Qian's voice fell, he split Han Jian's head with a three-pointed two-edged knife. Poor Tang general Han Jian, before he understood what was going on, he became a ghost under the knife, with his head and shoulders, and was split into two paragraphs by Qiao Qian.
Zhang Zha was shocked and was about to draw his sword to resist. General Niu Feng roared, urged the black horse, straightened up the wild goose tail, picked up Zhang Zha and threw it a few feet away.
Zhang Zha fell into the dust, bled seven orifices, and died.
Qiao Yu and Niu Feng ordered the generals of Daqi to fight bravely. At this time, the martial arts city seemed to be open. Tang Bing cried for their father and mother and fled one after another.
Soon, Cao Min led the troops of the Second Army of Daqi to enter the martial arts city. Yang Fuguang, Lu Yanhong, Li Shitai and Pang Cong rushed left and right with the remnants, and went out of the west of the city and went straight to Fengxiang.
This battle was really beautiful. The Qi army destroyed more than 50,000 horses of Yang Fuguang at the cost of losing thousands of people. Yang Fuguang only took thousands of remnants and fled to Fengxiang Mansion. Yang Fuguang brought the elite of the loyal military army from the Central Plains.
Then, Cao Min commanded the Second Army of Daqi to defeat Gao Renhe's reinforcements south of Xingping. Gao Renhou only took hundreds of cavalry and fled to Xichuan.
Huang Siye led the Third Army of Daqi to surround Feng Tianhou. Qi Ke let Wei Yu stubbornly resist. The two sides fought fiercely for many days, and the Qi army became more and more brave. Finally, they invaded Fengtian. Qi Kerang waved the spring and autumn knife, killed the siege and fled to Zhu Mei in Pyongzhou. However, Li Tang suffered extremely heavy losses in this battle. Tang general Ping Shiru was killed by Huang Siye, and the deputy envoy Lu Yinzheng was killed by Liu Wei. Ximen Sigong, the supervisor, was split by Wang Fan's phoenix-headed axe and died. Fengtian Tang army lost more than 20,000 people, and the soldiers of the Qi army also paid a heavy price of more than 10,000 people. Pei Wo, the document of the Third Army of the Qi Dynasty, was killed by Qi Ke in this battle.
The eastern battlefield of the Shaanxi Qi army was also in a fierce battle at this time. Meng Kai's main force of the first army of Daqi advanced to Huazhou. In the area of Shiqiao, he met the interception of 50,000 Tang troops led by Gao Xun, the governor of Tang Zhaoyi. Meng Kai ordered the generals of the first army to rush to fight bravely. Although Gao Xun organized troops to resist, he was not the opponent of the first army of Daqi after all. He was defeated by the Daqi army and fled to the river, and Huazhou was defeated. The Qi army occupied.
In the Battle of Stone Bridge, General Li Shen performed prominently and killed Xue Tao, a general under Wang Duo. Therefore, Huang Chao appointed Li Shen as the governor of Huazhou.
After Gao Xun's soldiers were defeated and returned to Luzhou, his general Cheng Lin rebelled and killed Gao Xun while Gao Xun was unprepared and led his troops to occupy Luzhou. Meng Fang, another general of Gao Xun, was stationed in the courtyard gate. He was furious when he heard the news and vowed to avenge Gao Xun, so he raised an army to attack Cheng Lin and kill Cheng Lin.
The house leak coincided with continuous rain. After receiving the military report of the successive defeat of the Shaanxi Second Road, Li Yan issued an edict ordering Gao Yu to quickly enter Luoyang, capture Tongguan, attack the Qi army, and cooperate with Wang Duo, Song Wentong, Zhu Mei and other Li Tang generals to recover Chang'an.
After receiving the imperial edict, Gao Yu was indifferent and leisurely. He pretended to send troops, but stayed in Dongtang for more than 100 days and did not advance west for a long time. Li Jun repeatedly issued edicts urging him to lead his troops to help. Gao Yu made a statement to Li Yu, entrusting Zhou Bao and Eastern Zhejiang to observe that Liu Hanhong would be in the future and needed to beware of future troubles, so he could not push forward to Luoyang. Soon, Gao Yu simply withdrew from Dongtang and returned to the Guangling Military Mansion, and no longer paid attention to the imperial edict of the Li and Tang court.
Gao Qian summoned Dong Chang from Shijing Town to Guangling and pretended to discuss with Dong Chang, saying that he wanted to fight against Daqi with Dong Chang. Dong Chang's department Qian Qian said to Dong Chang, "I don't think Gao Yu has the intention of asking for thieves at all. It's better to resign on the grounds of protection and the people."
Dong Chang listened to Qian Yun's suggestion and agreed because he thought it was reasonable, and Gao Qian also let Dong Chang lead his troops back to his hometown. At this time, the new Hangzhou Assassin Road Trial went to Hangzhou. As soon as the road trial went to Jiaxing, Dong Chang led the soldiers from Shi Jing to Hangzhou first, and the road trial was afraid and returned it.
So Dong Chang claimed that Hangzhou was in custody and knew the state affairs, and sent general civil servants to ask Zhou Bao for an official. Zhou Bao was unable to stop him, so he had to appoint Dong Chang as the assassin of Hangzhou.
If you want to know what's going on, let's take a look at the next chapter.
