Chapter 120 I don't know whether to live or die

In the eyes of these people, they thought that even if Zuo Liangyu was not good, he could defend Jingzhou City. Even if he could not defend Jingzhou City, he could save considerable strength to retreat to Yuezhou. In that case, Yuezhou would at least be safer. In addition, the thief army initially went south. Without the support of the navy, it was difficult to take Yuezhou.

However, I didn't think that Zuo Liangyu was such a bad vegetable. Instead of defending Jingzhou, he was defeated and died there. It is said that after the body was thrown out of the city, the people flocked to hear the news. Like the Fuwang in Luoyang City, they cut off his meat and chewed it and ate it. It can be seen that this Jingzhou The people with him hated Zuo Liangyu to the extent.

The original plan was completely overturned at once. With their strength alone, they could not stop the attack of the Xing Tianjun. What's more, the Xing Tianjun controlled a large number of warships under the command of Zuo Liangyu. Even the strength of the water army on the river, they were not the opponents of the Xing Tianjun, so Huang Mingxuan and Kong Xigui could only choose the main The troops fled into Yueyang City and defended Yuezhou City.

Seeing that Yuezhou's troops were not enough to fight against the aggressive Xing Tianjun, Kong Xigui and Huang Mingxuan hurriedly appealed to Song Yihe and sent people to Changsha for help.

Li Qiande, the governor of Biyuan, who was sitting in Changsha, heard the news and quickly summoned more than 7,000 soldiers and horses around Changsha to rush to Yuezhou along the Xiangjiang River to help the battle. However, when Li Qiande and the superintendent and Xu led the troops to Yuezhou, they just caught in time that the Xingtian army had captured Lingji City and began to land in the north of Yuezhou, and even Dongting. A large number of lake thieves on the lake also heard the wind and defected to the Xing Tianjun. In cooperation with the Xing Tianjun, they killed some of the water troops on the water outside Yuezhou City.

Fortunately, the Changsha soldiers and horses led by Li Qiande did not enter Dongting Lake by boat. Otherwise, they would be besieged by a large number of lake thieves on Dongting Lake.

Seeing Xing Tianjun rushing to Yuezhou with the power of great victory, Li Qiande and Kong Xigui suddenly found that the number of troops of Xing Tianjun landing was not as much as they thought. There were only more than 10,000 people. After careful investigation, they knew that after capturing Jingzhou City, Xing Tianjun actually divided his troops in Jingzhou City and went down along the Han River. I went to attack Yingshan, Mionyang and other places.

So they were much relieved. They took an inventory of the troops at hand and found that the troops they had gathered in Yuezhou were actually more than the Xingtian Army, so they suddenly felt much bolder.

So Li Qiande strongly fought against Xing Tianjun outside the city and drove Xing Tianjun back into the river in one fell swoop. He was blocked and beaten in Yuezhou City. Kong Xigui sneered at Li Qiande's proposal. Even if he objected, his opinion was very simple, that is, the thief army was fierce and there was no left-liang jade soldier in the army. In the case of many forces, even Chengtianfu, Jingmen and Jingzhou destroyed 300,000 soldiers and horses of Zuo Liangyu with 30,000 troops. It can be seen that the criminal thief is really fierce and extremely fierce. There is no chance of winning out of the city and the field. It's better to defend in the city. For a period of time, the thief army can't break through the city and will retreat. At that time, Yue The state will be safe.

After hearing this, Li Qiande thought about it. Since the uprising, this criminal thief has almost rarely failed. He can't fight anywhere. There are countless generals of the imperial court in their hands. He wants to lead soldiers to fight with them outside the city. It's simply beyond his ability. Is Zuo Liangyu awesome? Aren't you still killed by others? Thinking that he was not in a hurry to find death, he agreed to Kong Xigui's suggestion to stay in the city.

But the superintendent did not do it. The dead eunuch did not take other people's lives anyway. This time, he was afraid to die, but when he heard that the soldiers of the Xingtian army were not large, he came to the spirit. In his opinion, the officers and soldiers dealt with the thieves, and the troops were superior. Why shouldn't you defeat the battle!

He is a guy who doesn't learn at all, and he doesn't understand the power of Xing Tianjun. He can only distinguish between the strong and the weak from the numbers. When he heard that Kong Xigui and Li Qiande did not dare to go out of the city to fight, he was unhappy and felt that this was a rare opportunity. If they defeated Xing Tianjun here, it would be a great achievement. Even if it is impossible, it must force Li Qiande and Kong Xigui to go to war.

Li Qiande is afraid of Xu Ke, but Kong Xigui is a martial artist. Now the generals are a little self-respecting. The sky here is high and the emperor is far away, and he doesn't listen to Xu Ke at all.

After arguing for a long time, Huang Ming chose a suggestion. First, he sent troops to test and test. If the criminal thief is not as powerful as the legend, it is not a problem to send troops to fight against it.

So in desperation, Li Qiande had to send the deputy general Yin Xianmin to lead 3,000 people out of Yuezhou City to meet Xing Tianjun.

So Yin Xianmin had no choice but to get out of the city and greeted Lingji City.

Xiao Tianjian really didn't pay much attention to this Yuezhou City. After this division, he only led 20,000 troops and thousands of water troops, and then killed Yuezhou City.

After the fleet reached Lingji City, it only encountered the extremely weak resistance of the officers and soldiers. He easily took Lingji City by the river, and Shunshu also took many of the ships left on the wharf of Lingji City for the use of Xing Tianjun.

After arriving here, he got off the boat and landed, leading the soldiers and horses to rest for two days. To be honest, these soldiers and generals who came from Henan are obviously not used to taking a boat now. When they were on the shore, they were all fierce. However, after taking a boat from Jingzhou, many people vomited on the boat after a little wind and waves. It's a mess. I just want to spit out the liver and pull it down. Many people are dizzy and want to die. They have the thoughts of jumping into the river. At this time, not to mention that the dragon spirit and tiger are fierce, even the worm is not as good as insects. This is still taking a boat on the Yangtze River. If one day pull these people to the sea, I don't know how many people will jump into the sea!

The northerners are really not good at water warfare. Fortunately, they surrendered Zuo Liangyu's water camp. Otherwise, even if these people get a boat, they may not have combat effectiveness.

So after defeating Lingji City, Xiao Tianjian's soldiers rested for two days outside Lingji City and recovered. The people in the province were so dizzy that they could not even lift knives and guns, and the water camp immediately entered Dongting Lake and joined a large number of lake thieves who depended on them there. Once again, the water The camp has grown a lot, and more than 3,000 lake robbers and more than 200 boats of various colors were merged into the camp.

Just when Xiao Tianjian was resting in Lingji City, he heard that an officer and army came out of Yuezhou and rushed to kill them. This time, Xiao Tianjian and his generals laughed. Unexpectedly, there were such people in Yuezhou. They didn't wait for them to attack the city and took the initiative to fight, so Xiao Tianjian immediately ordered the general Gao. The construction team is going to fight.

After Gao Jian got the order, he immediately ordered all his men and bumped into the officers and soldiers, while Situ Liang sent some cavalry, circled around the perimeter, ran to the side of the officers and ambushed.

Yin Xianmin, the deputy general of the army, was bitter in his mouth, and he scolded Xu Kuang, the dead eunuch in his heart. Obviously, the Changsha soldiers and horses have not seen knives for many years, and the soldiers and generals will not fight at all. Now it's good to bring them to Yuezhou, but Xu Kuai, the dead eunuch, actually has to force him. They came out of the city to fight with the scary Xingtian thieves. Isn't this forcing them to die?

Therefore, after Yin Xianmin led the troops out of the city, he and he walked trembling all the way, not to mention the Hunan soldiers under him. Three thousand people gathered together and took three steps and two steps back. In just a few miles, they walked for half a day. When they saw a team of Xing Tianjun appearing in front of them, These people's legs are weak.

The southern part of Huguang, that is, the area of Hunan in later generations, can be said to have been peaceful for a long time in this era. Although the rebel forces in the northern mountains, Shaanxi, Henan and southern Zhili in the northern part of Huguang have turned upside down the world, there are few spillovers in the Hunan area, so the land in Hunan is relatively stable, and the people live a hard life. However, there are relatively few disasters, and at least they can survive, so there are relatively few people who rise up. Therefore, the officers and soldiers in Hunan have basically not seen any battles, at most, small fights and arresting some thieves.

But today, they asked them to deal with the people of the Xing Tianjun who shocked the world. They looked too highly of them. In fact, they were driving ducks on the shelves. When they saw Xing Tianjun blocking their way and fighting with them, before Xing Tianjun opened fire, the officers and soldiers began to mess up their feet first.

Although they have never seen Xing Tianjun, they have also heard of the strength of Xing Tianjun. Today, when they see Xing Tianjun again, they immediately feel a murderous atmosphere coming, which makes them breathless. The reason why Xiong soldiers can be called Xiong Bing is not that their array is neat as Xiong Bing, but only through The generals of the rest of the war, the temperament emanating from their invisible bodies, brings together a kind of murderous spirit. At the same time, there is also a kind of arrogance on the face of the soldiers of Xingtian's generals. Such soldiers and horses can be called heroes.

Gao Jian, who led the team to fight, was also very young. He was about 20 years old, but there were several scars on his face, which made his beautiful face look a little ferocious. Although he was young, his face was full of fierceness. This Gao Jian was not someone else, but Xiao Tianjian's best. Gao Cheng's younger brother, the heavy gunpowder manager.

In those years, Gao became the one who saved his brother and followed Xiao Tianjian. In order to save his injured brother, Xiao Tianjian did not hesitate to break his head. Later, he accepted the two brothers, and Gao Cheng followed his father to make gunpowder fights, so he followed Xiao Tianjian to be responsible for making gunpowder. Later, he also He has made a lot of things such as Thunderbolt guns, rockets, mines, etc. Now he has become the general manager of the Xingtian Army's gunpowder. He is generally responsible for running between various places under the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army, establishing a gunpowder workshop, and making gunpowder and all kinds of explosives for the Xingtian Army. Because he is serious and smart and easy to learn, which makes Xing Tianjun's The quality of gunpowder has always been quite good, and the power of granular gunpowder is also very good, which provides strong basic support for Xing Tianjun to maintain strong combat strength, so it is deeply valued by Xiao Tianjian.

(Today, I would like to thank the rewards of several brothers such as spicy death, deadly tenderness, tired smile and so on! Thank you very much!)
