Chapter 35 Connect with the enemy

At the request of Zhan Bing and Tu Yang, Zhao Meng allocated 5,000 people to help Jizhou. Zhan Bing and Tu Yang led troops to Jizhou and marched on the west coast of Ganshui.

After walking for two days, many Tang soldiers shouted that they were too tired and had to rest before leaving. At this time, it was already noon, and these 5,000 soldiers were hungry. After discussion with Tu Yang, Zhan Bing decided to rest on the spot, bury the pot to make rice, and eat lunch before leaving.

The order was quickly conveyed, and Tang soldiers sat on the ground one after another, and some simply took off their armor and lay on the ground to rest. The cook was busy set up a marching pot and preparing to cook. He could only hear the sound of drums everywhere. The soldiers and horses fell from the sky. Lu Qi led the 5,000 elite soldiers who had already been ambushed here and shouted to kill the Tang army.

Zhan Bing and Tu Yang were shocked and hurriedly ordered Tang Bing to pick up weapons to fight. Lu Qi took the lead, waved double hammers, and went straight to Zhan Bing and Tu Yang. Later, the volunteers surged in. The Tang army in Qianzhou has not experienced a battle array for a long time, and its military strength is lax, and there is no strict training at ordinary times. How can it stop the heroes of Daqi? In a blink of an eye, he was washed away by the rebels and killed and injured a large area. Tang Bing panicked and fled.

Lu Qi clapped his horse and rushed to Zhan Bing, swung his hammer and hit him. Zhan Bing quickly raised his own gun to separate him. Lu Qi's right hammer hit Zhan Bing's gun barrel. Zhan Bing felt that his mouth was numb and cracked, and blood flowed. Zhan Bing knew that he was invincible, so he fled. Tu Yang didn't know whether it was good or bad. He brought a knife to fight against Luqi. The two horses fought with each other and did not fight. Lu Qi looked at Tu Yang's gap and hit him directly with his left hammer. He hit Tu Yang's jaw. Tu Yang's eyes were black and dizzy. He bumped into the horse and was killed by a knife by the righteous soldiers.

Lu Qi ordered the generals and soldiers of Daqi to attack on all sides, chase the enemy, and chase them back to the 20 miles. In this battle, the Rebels captured a lot of military supplies and captured 600 or 700 Tang soldiers. After some mobilization, most of the Tang soldiers participated in the uprising team. Because a few Tang soldiers had wives and children at home, Lu Qi sent them some silver and let them go back to their hometown.

Zhan Bing fled and did not dare to return to Qianzhou. He was afraid that Zhao Meng would blame him and took more than a thousand remnant soldiers straight to Jizhou. Zhan Bing went to the south city of Jizhou and shouted to open the door. The defenders quickly reported to Kou Wei and Jiao Fei. Kou Wei and Jiao Fei came to the south city and climbed the tower. As soon as they saw that it was Zhan Bing, they ordered the defenders to open the gate.

As soon as Zhan Bing entered the city, he told Kou Wei and Jiao Fei about the fiasco. When Tu Yang died in battle, Zhan Bing burst into tears. Kou Wei and Jiao Fei were shocked, comforted Zhan Bing and entertained him with wine.

During the banquet, Jiao Fei said, "I think this time the thieves invaded Ji and Qian Erzhou, just to see the weakness of our weak military strength. If we defend the city and the surrounding towns will not come to rescue us, there must be no chance to sing. Sooner or later, Jizhou will be attacked and eaten by the bandits. As the saying goes, 'If you are bold, starve to death.' According to the report of Tanma, the thief Zhu Wen's department has captured Yongxin, which is very arrogant and likely to be prepared for relaxation. I think it's better to withdraw the elite soldiers and horses from Jizhou, hide west to Yongxin, and attack Zhuwen Camp at night. If you win, defeat Zhu Wen's thieves all the way, and then return to defend Jizhou, you can keep Jizhou.

Kou Wei thought for a moment and said, "General Jiao has this ambition and dares to attack the thief Zhu Wen's soldiers and horses at night, then let's take a risk. Anyway, sitting in Jizhou is a dead end. It's better to send troops to fight to the death!" I think so. We will order troops early tomorrow morning. 8,000 elite soldiers were transferred in the city, leaving thousands of old, weak and disabled soldiers stationed in Jizhou. If the night attack fails, we will occupy the mountain as the king and fall into the grass as the bandits!"

"Okay, I agree with General Kou's deployment from Jizhou to Yongxin. It is estimated that it will take two days. Today, prepare military supplies and check the combat equipment." Jiao Fei emphasized it.

Of course, Zhan Bing had no objection. In this way, the three discussed the details of the march and left.

At dawn the next day, Kou Wei and Jiao Fei ordered 8,000 elite soldiers, and Zhan Bing took more than 1,000 people who fled to Jizhou and headed for Yongxin. Without saying anything, Tang Jun arrived near Yongxin the next evening.

Kou Wei sent more than a dozen elite soldiers to Yongxin to investigate the deployment of Zhu Wen's soldiers and horses. Soon, Tang Bing three-two returned to the camp and reported the results of the reconnaissance to Kou Wei and Jiao Fei: Zhu Wen did not have many soldiers and horses, and the "thief soldiers" in the camp had nothing to do. Some took a nap, some gossiped, and it was estimated that there were only three or 4,000 people.

Kou Wei was very happy to hear the news and said to Jiao Fei, "It seems that there are not many troops in Yongxin this time. It's really God to help me! The three armies were ordered to quickly move closer to Yongxin and launched an attack in the middle of the night. This time, they will fight to determine the universe! Frustrate Zhu Wen's prestige!"

Jiao Fei waved his hand and said, "General Kou, don't underestimate the enemy. I've always heard that Zhu Wen is good at using troops and extremely cunning. He is a famous general of the yellow nest thief Kotori. I think the main force of the thief is not in the camp, but waiting for us elsewhere!"

Wait for us? The thief came from afar, and the supply of food and fodder was difficult. He definitely wanted to fight quickly. Zhu Wen stayed in Yongxin because the thief Meng Kai had not yet taken Qianzhou. Once the thief captures Qianzhou, he will definitely attack Jizhou in the north. At that time, Zhu Wen will advance east and cooperate with the army of the thief to attack Jizhou. Before the thief took down Qianzhou, I think it's better to eat Zhu Wen first and then go back to Baojizhou!" Kou Wei said confidently.

Zhan Bing sighed gently: "Good luck, trip over and pick up ingots; luck, the door panel can't be blocked!" Whether it can attack Zhu Wenying Village tonight seems to depend on God's will.

Kou Wei shouted, "This night attack on Zhu Wen's camp is going to fight fiercely. I don't believe that Zhu Wen's soldiers and horses can win a hundred battles?"

Jiao Fei looked at Yongxin's direction and frowned: "I hope God can guarantee that our soldiers and horses in Jizhou will succeed in attacking at night, defeat the thief and the tough general Zhu Wen in one fell swoop, and raise the prestige of my Jizhou generals!"

Kou Wei's second-hand waist and said murderously, "The thief Kou Zhuwen, tonight is your death! It is said that I will start to rest now and start in the middle of the night. Jiao Fei led 3,000 people to open the way. Zhan Bing and I then led a brigade to follow up and launch an attack on Yongxin thief!"

In the middle of the night, Jiao Fei led 3,000 people to Yongxin's Rebel Camp. Kou Wei and Zhan led their troops to follow up. Ma picked up the bronze bell and rushed forward. The Tang army quickly approached the camp of the Rebel Army.

At this time, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the moon had long hidden in the clouds. I only heard the cold wind roaring in my ears, and I couldn't see five fingers. Jiao Fei carefully inspected the front fence and ordered a small group of Tang soldiers to sneak for a while to check whether there were horse pits, horse guns and so on. Tang soldiers searched and inspected for a while and reported to Jiao Fei: "General Jiao, the thief army did not install such defense equipment, and they can kill directly to the front of the camp."

"God helps me too! It is said that I will order to attack the bandit camp and kill me!" Jiao Fei raised the tortoise bone whip and ordered loudly.

Tang Bing received the order and shouted to kill the Rebel Battalion. Zhu Zhen was stationed in Yongxin. Zhu Wen allocated 3,000 people to station in Yongxin two days ago and ordered him to retreat to the west if the Tang army came to attack and resist a little. On the way back, when he saw the Tang army retreat, he returned to the army to chase and kill.

At this time, Zhu Zhen saw that the Tang army brigade had been killed, so she quickly turned over and ordered the volunteers to abandon the camp and quickly retreat west. Jiao Fei was not willing to give up. He took Tang soldiers to sacrifice his life to chase and kill them. Hundreds of nominal soldiers who ran slowly were overtaken by Tang soldiers, so they had to fight with Tang soldiers until all died heroically.

Kou Wei had a great joy and ordered the army to go all the way to the west, chasing after him and killing Zhu Zhen's people. For a while, on the large and small roads west of Yongxin, there were soldiers and horses from both sides. The infantry seemed to be holding a marathon race, and the cavalry seemed to be holding an off-road vehicle race.

In this way, Zhu Zhen took the volunteers and ran 20 to 30 miles west in one breath. The volunteers were all tired, sweating and panting; the Tang soldiers chased them like cows and screamed bitterly. Both sides couldn't run, so they had to stand still, holding weapons and confronting each other.

Kou Wei and Zhan Bing rushed up with the brigade Tang Bing and saw Jiao Fei's soldiers and the "thief" staring at each other. Kou Wei asked, "General Jiao, why don't you come forward to fight?"

Jiao Fei shook his head like a rattle: "Everyone is so tired that they are about to lie down and kill a bird?"

Kou Wei just led his troops to follow Jiao Fei's horse desperately and did not notice his fatigue. Now he suddenly stopped, which made him feel very sleepy. He looked up at the surrounding terrain and couldn't help taking a cold breath. It turned out that the brigade had entered a narrow valley. One end of the valley was a "thief soldier" withdrawn from Yongxin, and the other end of the valley could not be seen at a glance.

Kou Wei suddenly woke up, and there will be ten "thief soldiers" on the mountain waiting for an ambush! He shouted "bad" and felt that great trouble was coming. He raised the three-pronged ghost-headed knife and shouted, "Turn around and withdraw from the valley!" Thieves may be ambushed!"

As soon as Kou Wei's words fell, he only heard a few cannons on the mountain, and large and small stones fell straight down from the mountain. It turned out that Zhu Wen ordered Pang Shigu to ambush 1,000 horses on the top of the mountain on both sides of the valley, waiting for Jizhou soldiers and horses to enter the valley and attack. Pang Shigu saw the soldiers and horses in Jizhou running out of the valley and ordered an attack. After a burst of stone rain, the righteous archers on the mountain immediately shot intensively at the Tang soldiers. Tang soldiers squeezed me and had no way to go. There were countless deaths and injuries, and the crying was shocking.

Ko Wei, Jiao Fei and Zhan Bing led the Tang soldiers to escape desperately. As soon as they ran to Gukou, they saw Zhu Wen leading the brigade to surround the valley. Zhu Wen wore bright armor, ** silver maned horses, hand-made dragon guns, and shouted on the bridle: "Li Tangbing will listen. You have been surrounded by us all. Can't escape? Why don't you surrender to Daqi?"

At this time, Tang soldiers have lost more than half of them, leaving only three or four thousand people, with no fighting spirit. Kou Wei didn't want to be captured and said to Jiao Fei, "General Jiao, we have feuded with the thief. It's better to fight to the death and kill out of the valley. There is still a way to live!" After saying that, Kou Wei waved a three-pronged ghost knife and shouted to kill Zhu Wen. Jiao Fei and Zhan Bing had to order Tang Bing to break out. Zhu Wen came to fight against the Kou Wei with a gun. The two horses intersect before the ten. Zhu Wen shouted loudly and shot the Kou Wei under the horse. When Tang Bing saw that the master would be killed, the three armies seized their spirits and surrendered one after another.

Jiao Fei and Zhan Bing are like headless flies at this time, still fantasizing about killing out of the siege and rushing out with their own soldiers. Zhu Zhen and Pang Shigu led the men and horses to kill from behind the Tang army. The Tang soldiers' front immediately collapsed and surrendered as soon as they died. Jiao Fei and Zhan Bing panicked and found Zhu Zhen and Pang Shigu killed in the melee. Jiao Fei waved the tortoise bone whip, knocked overturned more than a dozen volunteers, and shouted to fight Zhu Zhen; Zhan Bing, with an oolong gun, poked down several volunteers one after another, and ran to Pang Shigu to kill.

When Zhu Zhen saw Jiao Fei's stubborn resistance, she couldn't help but be furious. She immediately urged the horse forward, waved the iron pen barrel gun, and resisted Jiao Fei's fight; Pang Shigu waved the golden dipping axe and chopped at Zhan Bing's pocket.

After all, whether Jiao Fei and Zhan Bing can get out of the siege, let's see the next chapter.
