Chapter 15 Xiuyan Women Without British

Zi Ke urged the army to rush to reinforce the Wang Shihui. On the way, he was attacked by Meng Kai and Huang Kui's ambush and lost. He stopped three times and ran to the city of Shenzhou. Unexpectedly, there were two generals standing on the head of Shenzhou City and refused to open the door and asked Qi Ke to return to Xijing to report his duties. These two generals were Sun Ru and Ma Yin, the generals of Qin Zongquan. It turned out that Qin Zongquan was stationed in Wufang and was not idle for a moment. From time to time, he sent horses to scout the war situation in the mountains. When he learned that Qi Kerang and Wang Shihui's army left Langling Mountain and marched north to attack the Wencheng Gate, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Qin Zongquan walked around the room and shouted, "Here comes the opportunity! Here comes the opportunity!" He immediately ordered Sun Ru and Ma Yin, who accompanied the expedition, to lead 8,000 horses directly to Shenzhou and return to Caizhou with the remaining 2,000 horses.

Sun Ru and Ma Yin led their troops straight to the city of Shenzhou and shouted to open the door, saying that the "thieves" behind them were chasing after them. They also said that Qi Kerang was also leading the defeated army to flee to Shenzhou. As soon as the defenders of Shenzhou saw that they were their own family horses, they opened the gate and let Sun Ru and Ma Yin into the city. As soon as Sun Ru and Ma Yin entered Shenzhou, they quickly cleared Qi Kerang's personal guards and successfully took Shenzhou, which led to the previous scene.

Zike let the whip and scold: "Qin Zongquan, you are a traitor of the Tang Dynasty who eats inside and outside! You don't want to die!"

Sun Ru and Ma Yin quietly listened to Qi Kerang scolding in the city. When Qi Kerang stopped scolding, Sun Ru said, "General Qi, we are also unbearable, but we are General Qin's subordinates and have to act according to the military order. I hope General Qi can understand more!"

Ma Yin sighed: "General Qi, you are now weak, and it is impossible to take Shenzhou at all. After that, the thieves and bandits will come. Listen to me, you'd better go to Xijing. You have a lot of military achievements, and Your Majesty will not treat you badly!"

Zike was full of anger, but at this time, he had no choice but to lead the defeated soldiers along the Northwest Avenue. In the evening, when he arrived in the Tongbai area, Qi Ke gave orders to camp. At this time, the messenger sent by Wang Shihui arrived, and Qi Ke let him know that Wang Shihui was stationed in Ciqiu. The next day, Qi Ke asked the remnant army to move closer to Ciqiu, met with the people and horses of the Wang Shihui, and there were still *1,000 people. Qi Ke asked to tell Wang Shi about Qin Zongquan's sneak attack on Shenzhou.

Wang Shihui advised, "General Qi, calm down. Now that General Zeng Yuanyu has stationed troops on the periphery of Luoyang, we will go to him to strengthen Luoyang's defense; second, we will take a rest and recruit troops to expand our strength. And report the situation of our army to the court, report it to the court, and send troops to recruit and suppress the rebel general Qin Zongquan.

Zike nodded: "The teacher said very well. It seems that this is the best way at present. I don't think it's too late. Take a rest here for a day and go to Luoyang the day after tomorrow to find General Zeng!"

Qi Kerang and Wang Shihui led troops to Zeng Yuanyu's place. Zeng Yuanyu comforted him, arranged for the second general to be stationed in Yique, and reported to the court to list the crimes of rebellion before Qin Zongquan's battle, and asked the court to send troops to conscript and suppress it. Qi Kerang and Wang Shihui were ordered to lead their troops to Yique, so they would not elaborate.

Cao Min led the second village to camp in the south of Xuzhou City and sent Lin Yan to lead 5,000 troops to challenge. Lin Yan ordered the volunteers to sit or stand outside Xuzhou City and scolded endlessly, which made Cui An suddenly angry and summoned the generals to the government office to discuss military situation.

Cui Anqian said, "Not long ago, Zhang Zimian urged me to send 20,000 troops to attack the main force of Huang Chao outside Songzhou. I was not fooled by him! Lei Yinfu underestimated the enemy and bravely. As a result, he was killed by the Huang Chao army. The alarm bell rang. We should take it as a warning. Now the thief Cao Min led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to station in the southern suburbs of Xuzhou, intending to take our Xuzhou. I will never let the thief succeed! I have thought over and over again that if we blindly defend for a long time, our army's morale will inevitably be frustrated. I estimate that after winning on the outskirts of Songzhou, the Huangchao thief is likely to cross the Bian River and come to Xuzhou to find us trouble. If Huang Chao and Cao Min, the thief couple, work together to attack Xuzhou, whether Xuzhou can defend it or not is a big problem. Therefore, when Cao Min's foothold was unstable, he thought that our army did not dare to go to war. I want to follow the tactics of Zhang Liao's defense of Hefang City of the Three Kingdoms and take the initiative to attack Sun Quan's army, resulting in a great victory in Yiyaojin. We suddenly dispatched strange soldiers and attacked the thief camp at night. We will win a complete victory, and then consolidate our troops to defend it. Our army's morale is high, and it is inevitable that it will be difficult for the thieves to break through Xuzhou. I have made up my mind. I don't know which general is willing to lead the army to attack the thief camp at night?

Wang Jianjian said, "Lord Cui, this matter is related to the safety of Xuzhou. I hope Lord Cui will consider it again and don't make a light decision!"

Cui An's face sank: "The loyal and brave soldiers are 40,000 to 50,000 elite soldiers in the city. Are you afraid that these thieves will not do it? How capable is Cao Min as a female streamer? I have decided that Zhou Wei, Pang Cong and Yuan's army ordered 20,000 troops to go out of the city to attack Cao Min's camp and resolutely attack this road thief army. Then go back to the city to defend. When the main force of Huang Chao arrives, we will slowly consume the thief army. When the Tang reinforcements arrived, it was the day of the destruction of the yellow nest bandits!"

Cui Anqian then said to Wang Jian, "General Wang, you and Jin Hui are responsible for guarding the city. Let's see how I break the thief!"

Wang Jian had no choice but to nod and arrange the city defense with Jin Hui.

At the second update that night, Cui Anqian, Zhou Wei, Pang Cong and Yuan Jun led 20,000 loyal soldiers to open the south gate of Xuzhou, picked the bell, and quietly touched the camp of the Rebel Army. When he arrived at the camp and saw a few volunteers leaning on the tree in front of the camp gate, Cui Anqian shouted, "Brother Zhongwu, kill me!"

Pang Cong and Yuan Jun took the lead and led the Tang soldiers to rush inside. The volunteers woke up and fled in all directions. Cui Anqian and Zhou Qian then followed up and went straight to the camp of the rebels and found that there was no one around them. Zhou Qian said, "Lord Cui, we have been tricked. The thief must be ambushed around the camp. Hurry up and withdraw!"

Cui Anqian suddenly woke up, quickly turned his horse's head and ordered him to retreat. At this moment, there were shouts of killing outside the camp. Cao Min, Lin Yan, Qiao Ling and Niu Feng led the main force of the volunteer army and surrounded them on all sides. Cui Anqian urgently ordered Tang Bing to resist the fight, and the two sides fought in the dark.

Cao Min rode thousands of miles of rouge snow, waved the sun and moon swords, and led his own soldiers to sneak to Cui An. Lin Yan followed closely with his gun. Tang soldiers could not resist and retreated one after another. Pang Cong and Yuan Jun saw that Cui An was in danger and rode together to intercept Cao Min and Lin Yan. Pang Cong waved a soap gun and killed Lin Yan. Lin Yan made the steel bone bright silver gun and fought hard against Pang Cong. The two generals fought in 20 or 30, regardless of victory or defeat.

Yuan Jun slammed two hammers and smashed them straight at Cao Min. Cao Min rode the horse left and right. Yuan Jun's hammer fell empty and he didn't feel busy. After about ten fights, Cao Min saw Yuan Jun's flaws and shouted, using the unique skill "Sun and Moon Cut the Five Mountains". The knives wrapped in a roar, came through the air and hit Yuan Jun's shoulders. Yuan Jun had just hit the second hammer. Before he received it, he was hit by Cao Min, and his shoulders were cut off. He screamed, rolled off his horse and died.

Pang Cong saw that Yuan's army was killed and had no intention of fighting. He shook his gun, pulled his horse back to the front, and commanded Tang soldiers to rush out. Cui Anqian and Zhou Qian's army fought to the death, and the loyal military army was indeed brave. Although they were attacked, they fought separately in the night and still rushed fiercely. In the southern suburbs of Xuzhou, the war lasted for more than three hours, until the rooster reported the dawn and the east turned white.

Cui Anqian, Zhou Qian and Pang Cong led the army out of the siege and went straight to Xuzhou. Because Cui Anqian strictly ordered Wang Jian and Jin Hui to guard the city in advance and not to go out to respond, Wang Jian heard the sound of killings in the south of the city, but still stuck to the city and did not go out to reinforce the city. At this time, when he saw Cui Anqian leading the soldiers back, he opened the gate and let Tang soldiers into the city. After entering the city, Cui Anqian made a count of people, leaving seven or eight thousand people. Cui Anqian immediately issued a martial law order to prevent Cao Min from leading the army to attack the city.

Cao Min saw Cui An sneaking through the encirclement and ordered the rebels to stop the pursuit, seize the time to clean up the battlefield, rectify the soldiers and horses, and strengthen the camp. In this battle, the second village of the rebels also suffered heavy losses, with nearly 10,000 soldiers. Cao Min thought about it over and over again and decided to move to Linying in a few days, waiting for the arrival of Huang Chao's main force, and then go south to the mountain.

A few days later, the second villager of the Rebel army went in the direction of Linying. Xuzhou flew to report to Cui Anqian: "Lord Cui, the thief Cao Min has gone south!"

Zhou Wei volunteered and said, "Lord Cui, please allocate 5,000 elite soldiers for me. I want to hunt down and kill the bandits and avenge Yuan Jun!"

Cui An thought for a moment and said, "I didn't expect Cao Min, a bitch, to be so good at fighting. She is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. That's all. In the last time we hijacked the camp, we lost more than 10,000 troops and didn't take advantage of it. Fortunately, thanks to the heroic and good fighting army, we returned to the city smoothly. Leave some troops and fight with the thieves, and we won't have much say. Generals, please stay in Xuzhou City and defend me honestly. No one is allowed to fight without my order!"

Cao Min led more than 20,000 horses all the way south. He had just arrived in the Linying area and saw the river network in front of him, and the road was uneven, which was very difficult to walk. She ordered to camp on the spot, send Niu Feng to lead 3,000 people to the front to scout the terrain, and then decided on the march route.

Niu Feng took the order and left. As soon as he arrived at the north bank of Yingshui, he saw dozens of large and small ships sailing out of the river. The people on the ship were holding knives, guns and halberds, and many archers bent their bows and waited, looking at Niu Feng's people and horses with hostile eyes. Niu Feng was shocked: Shit, it's blocked here. How did the lady's army cross the Yingshui?
