Chapter 21 Huangwang Five elements 2

It is said that Tuoba Sizhong and Gao Zongyi took the lead in rushing into the five elements of the Yellow King, and Tuoba Sigong then led the party's Xiang Neng Zhan to follow up and attack the northwest corner of the Huangwang's five elements array.

After Tuoba Sizhong and Gao Zongyi entered the battle, they saw the smoke and dust everywhere and looked around. They only heard the sound of weapons hitting their ears, but they could not see the people a few feet away. It turned out that Huang Chao had already set up a large number of fireworks in the array. The party soldiers did not know the mystery in the array, just like a big bear falling into a trap.

The sound of firecrackers in the five elements of the Yellow King, with arrows on all sides. Tuoba Sizhong could only use his throat to contact the party soldiers. When he was rushing to kill, Tuoba Sizhong suddenly met the two generals Li Yu and Yang Neng. Tuoba Sizhong tried his best to resist the killing of Li and Yang two generals and shouted, "Zong Yi, protect my brother and kill! If you don't rush, it will be too late!"

Gao Zongyi patted the horse and dance knife to protect Tuoba Sigong and sacrificed his life to rush to death. The party soldiers all looked at home and fiercely attacked the northwest corner of the Yellow King's Five elements array.

The general in the five elements of the Yellow King's array was Lin Yan. Lin Yan saw that Tuoba Sigong led the party soldiers to kill his soldiers and horses desperately, and hurriedly organized the soldiers and horses to surround him. Tuoba Sigong's pair of leopard-tailed steel whips hit left and right; the big knife in Gao Zongyi's hand was powerful, like a tiger down the mountain, and the offensive was very fierce.

Seeing that Tuoba Sigong organized a breakout regardless of casualties, Huang Chao ordered the Chinese army to launch a general attack, killing countless Dang Xiang soldiers and causing dozens of dead bodies. During the fierce battle, Tuoba Sigong and Gao Zongyi finally took hundreds of iron horses to rush out of the Yellow King's Five elements array and fled straight to Xiazhou.

Tuoba Sizhong fought against Li Qian and Yang Neng, and his own soldiers also fought to the death. After a while, Wang Yu, the general of Daqi Yangwei, led a man and arrived. Wang Fan suddenly rushed to Tuoba Sizhong, roared, waved the phoenix-headed axe, and used the unique skill to "choose the universe upside down", and split Tuoba Sizhong under the horse with an axe. Yang Neng rushed the flaming snake spear and cooled Tuoba Sizhong.

In this war, the Qi army won a complete victory, and Tuoba Sigong's 50,000 party soldiers and horses were basically annihilated by the Qi army. After Tuoba Sigong fled back to Xiazhou, he no longer dared to fight against the Qi army, but only lived in the Xia Sui area. After the failure of the Huang Chao Uprising, Tuoba Sigong was awarded the title of Duke of Xia by Li Yan, Emperor Xizong of Tang, and was given the surname Li and worshipped the governor of Xiazhou. In the rebellion of Li Yu, the king of Xiang, Emperor Xizong ordered Sigong to send troops. Before sending troops, Li Sigong died. In the second year of Qianning (895), his younger brother Li Si was appointed as the difficult governor. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Tuoba Department of the Party Xiang clan actually became an independent kingdom and became the target of various warlords competing to win over.

According to Zheng Wei's deployment, Dou Mei and Song Wentong led 30,000 horses to the earth bridge, but fell into the encirclement of Cao Min's troops of the Second Army of Daqi in the area of Jingshui. Dou Mei and Song Wentong led their troops to fight desperately and could not get out of the siege.

Soon, Huang Chao personally led the victorious soldiers south from the Tuqiao and joined the Second Army of Daqi to surround the remnants of Dou Mei and Song Wentong. Huang Chao once again set down the five elements of the yellow king, and the Tang soldiers entered the array, like headless flies, bumping everywhere, and surrendering without death.

Dui Mei looked up to the sky and sighed: "I am brave, and I have no place to die today!"

Song Wentong said, "General Dou, don't be discouraged. I believe that Lord Zheng Wei will definitely send troops to rescue!"

In the critical situation, Zheng Wei really sent his son Zheng Ningji to lead 10,000 horses to rescue him. At the same time, Gao Zhouyi and Wu Yanhong also received Zheng Wei's military order, asking them to quickly lead troops to close to Dou Mei and Song Wentong's forces and be sure to get out of the siege.

The second army of Qi and Tang launched a life-and-death war on the two banks of Jingshui. A few days later, the main force of the Tang army was completely annihilated by the Qi army. Gao Zhouyi was killed by Qiao Yi and Niu Feng, Wu Yanhong was beheaded by Li Gongdi, and Dou Mei was picked up by Huang Chao. Li Qian stepped forward and cut Dou Mei with a dragon scale purple gold knife. The head of.

Song Wentong and Zheng Ningji came out of the encirclement with thousands of remnants and went straight to Fengxiang. When they passed through Qishan, they were killed by Meng Kai and Huang Siye's soldiers and horses. Most of the Tang soldiers were killed and injured. Song Wentong and Zheng Ningji only took dozens of horses to escape back to Fengxiang.

After more than ten consecutive days of fighting, the Great Qi army showed its strong military strength to Li Tang. The Li Tang army in Shaanxi huddled in the city and did not dare to fight.

Zhou Wei, the governor of Tang Zhongwu, saw the successive victories of the Great Qi army, so he surrendered to the Daqi Dynasty.

After Huang Chao led the main team of the Daqi army to return to the court, the generals and soldiers of Daqi were happy, and the 100 officials of Daqi gave Huang Chao a title, known as the emperor of Chengtian Yingyun Qisheng Ruiwen Xuanwu.

Zheng Wei was in Fengxiang, and his illness became more and more serious. He called Song Wentong and said, "Wen Tong, it's up to you to do this position as Fengxiang's governor. Li Changyan is also in poor health. His brother Li Changfu knows more about military affairs. You should communicate more with Changfu in the future.

Song Wentong nodded with tears.

Not long after Song Wentong served as Fengxiang's jiedushi, Zheng Wei was arranged by Li Yan to go to Chengdu to recover. Zheng Wei soon fell ill and died, and then disappeared into the sky of history.

Seeing that Huang Chao was gradually getting bigger in Shaanxi, Li Yan couldn't help but be very anxious, and even sent an edict urging all parties to draw troops to Shaanxi to destroy the army.

After receiving Li Yong's edict, Gao Yu was in a dilemma. He knew that he was not Huang Chao's opponent. He sent troops to attack Daqi. It must be a meat bun to beat the dog - there was no return, but if he did not comply with the order, he really became a traitor.

Coincidentally, a pair of pheasants flew in the Huainan jiedushi's mansion in Guangling. The fortune tellers believed that the wild birds flying to gather was a sign that the city of Guangling was about to be empty. Gao Qian felt disgusted and afraid of this, so he spread a message to the four directions, saying that he would enter Guanzhong to fight against Huangchao, and transferred 80,000 troops and 2,000 ships in the territory under his jurisdiction. He waved banners and the army was strong. Soon, the army from Huainan went out to camp in Dongtang. The generals in Huainan repeatedly urged Gao Li about the period of the expedition. Gao Qian said that the wind and waves of the river were too strong to stop the march of the army, and also told that the time was unlucky. As a result, he did not set out.

Li Guochang and Li Keyong's father and son were defeated by Li Tang's army and fled to Tatar to take refuge. Li Yan, Li Youjin and Chen Jingen wrote to Li Yan and asked him to pardon Li Guochang and Li Keyong's father and son, and Li Yan agreed. Therefore, Li Guochang and Li Ke took more than 10,000 Shatuo soldiers and entered Daizhou majestically.

Li Ke is brave and good at fighting, which is called "Li Yaer" in the army. After he became blind and became noble, he was also known as the "one-eyed dragon". He can shoot a needle or whip a hundred steps away. Daibei admire him very much, so Daibei's soldiers will be willing to follow Li Ke's command.

Li Ke sent an ultimatum to the governor of Hedong, claiming that he was ordered by Emperor Xizong of Tang to lead 50,000 troops to fight against Huangchao, and asked the governor to prepare wine and food along the road for the army, and set up a post. Zheng Cong, the governor of Hedong, closed the gate and set a strict guard against Li Ke.

Li Keyi led the army to station on the east bank of Fenshui. Zheng Congqi sent people to reward him and give Li Ke with military supplies, food and fodder, but Li Keyi stayed for many days. Li Ke came to Jinyang City in person and shouted and asked to meet Zheng Cong, the governor of Hedong. Zheng Cong would climb the tower to thank Li Keyong.

Soon, Li Keyong asked Zheng Cong to give a reward for grain and salary, and Zheng Cong sent a thousand strings of money and a thousand rice. Li Keyong thought that Zheng Cong had sent too little, so he indulged the Shatuo army to plunder the residents, and the soldiers and civilians in Jinyang City were greatly frightened.

Zheng sent people to ask for help from the Turkic and Tuguhun soldiers. The Turkic and Tuguhun soldiers came to rescue and broke through the two camps of the Shatuo army. Li Ke led a large army to fight and chased the Turkic and Tuguhun soldiers to the south of Jinyang City, so Li Ke led the Shatuo army to plunder Yangqu and Yuci and prepared to return to the north.

Li Ke encountered heavy rain with Shatuo's army, so he led the army back to the north and captured Xinzhou and Daizhou, so he stayed in Daizhou. Zheng Congqi sent coaches and envoys, Lun'an and others to lead the army to garrison in Baijing to prevent the Shatuo army.

On An's unauthorized return to Jinyang led by Baijing, Zheng Congqi was extremely angry. On the grounds that An did not take off his boots and untie his clothes, he immediately beheaded Nonan and killed his family. In addition, Wen Hanchen, the head of the capital, was sent to lead the army into Baijing.

Huang Chao was overjoyed to hear the news and sent an envoy to Daizhou to give Li Ke a lot of gold and silver to ask him to continue to fight against the Tang Dynasty. Li Ke read Huang Chao's letter and did not reply to his statement, but watched the changes in the battle situation of the Tang Dynasty.

After Zhou Kui surrendered to Daqi, Tang Zhongwu, there was a night banquet and urgently summoned Yang Fuguang, the Zhongwu supervisor to attend the banquet. Yang Fuguang's left and right subordinates advised him, "Zhou Kui has surrendered to Daqi. I'm afraid it's against you. This is a Hongmen banquet, and you can't go there easily."

Yang Fuguang replied, "It has come to such a situation. You can't hope for your own life in order to go to justice." So I went to the banquet.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Wei talked about the Tang Dynasty. Yang Fuguang cried while listening. After a while, Yang Fuguang said to Zhou Wei, "The most touching thing for a man is kindness!" Why did you abandon the Tang Dynasty, which had been established for 18 generations, and surrender to the Huang Chao thieves?

After hearing this, Zhou Wei burst into tears and said, "I can't fight against the thief alone, so on the surface, I surrender to the thief, but in my heart, I am trying to refuse the thief!" I called you here today to discuss this matter. Therefore, he sprinkled wine on the ground and made an alliance, vowing to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and sweeping down the difficulties. That night, Yang Fuguang sent his adopted son Yang Shouliang to kill the messenger sent by Huang Chao in the post hall.

Qin Zongquan occupied Caizhou and did not obey Zhou Wei's orders. Yang Fuguang led 30,000 Zhongwu army to Caizhou and persuaded Qin Zongquan to raise troops to fight against Huang Chao together. Qin Zongquan then sent his general Wang Shu to lead an army of 30,000 people to follow Yang Fuguang to attack Dengzhou. Wang Shu did not stay, and Yang Fuguang beheaded him and annexed his army.

Yang Fuguang divided the 80,000 people of the Zhongwu army into eight capitals, and sent eight people to lead Lu Yanhong, Han Jian, Zhang Zhai, Li Shitai and Pang Cong. Yang Fuguang led the Badu army to fight against Zhu Wen and defeated Zhu Wen. The Tang army conquered Dengzhou, chased Zhu Wen's remnant army to the north, and returned to the Blue Bridge.

After receiving the news of Dengzhou's loss, Huang Chao was shocked and ordered the First Army of Daqi to launch a series of offensive operations in the Central Plains to defeat the arrogance of the Tang army. However, the armies of Li Tang and Zhongyuan defended the cities, and the attack launched by Meng Kai and Zhu Wen was of little effect.

Soon, Gao Xun, the governor of Tang Zhao's Rebel Army, joined Wang Chongrong's army in the river to attack Huazhou and conquered the city.

Zhu Gong, the governor of Tangzhou, led his army to station in Xingping. Huang Chao sent Yangwei General Wang Fan to besiege Xingping. Zhu Gong could not resist it and led his army to retreat and fled to the area of Longweipi.

Li Qi, the envoy of the Yellow Head Army in Xichuan, led more than 10,000 people, and Gong Xian led 5,000 people to Tun Xingping, set up two camps, and sent troops to fight against Huang Siye of the Third Army of Daqi. Huang Siye was eager to win and took a forced attack. As a result, the Third Army, which had just recovered a little vitality, was hit hard again.

Li Yong was overjoyed and issued an edict ordering Chen Jingxuan, the governor of Xichuan, to send the magic machine battalion Gao Renhou to lead 20,000 horses to reinforce the two armies of Li Qi and Gong Xian.

The battlefield of Daqi and Shaanxi is tight again. How will the commander-in-chief of Daqi deal with the attack of Li Tang's two-way soldiers and horses?

If you want to know what's going on, let's take a look at the next chapter.
