Chapter 135 Biyang Arson
The power of the Tianwu Camp made Zhang Xianzhong extremely unbearable. In the shelling, except for the hundreds of bandits who had no time to dodge in the early stage, Zhang Xianzhong suffered not much loss. However, this blow to morale was devastating, and the bandits were all terrified. If they were not afraid of Zhang Xianzhong's killing, they would have already escaped.
Zhang Xianzhong fought on the battlefield for more than ten years, and of course he would not be frightened by artillery attacks. He even wanted to eat the Tianwu Camp that had attacked the city. When the sound of war drums in the Jingzhou army opposite him sounded, Zhang Xianzhong ordered his troops to scatter into the streets and alleys, leaving only more than a thousand elite soldiers from Bai Wenxuan and more than 200 selections led by Li Dingguo.
Zhang Xianzhong wanted the archers to kill the living forces of the Tianwu Camp under the cover of the house, and finally lure the Tianwu Camp into the depths of the city, and Bai Wenxuan and Li Dingguo completed the final blow.
Hearing that Tianwu Camp was slowly approaching the county government, Zhang Xianzhong felt that he was so frustrated that he was extremely happy. He laughed and said, "These bastards have never seen them work so hard on weekdays. Why are they blocking the dog soldiers so hard today? But this is good, so the dog soldiers really think we are fighting to the death..."
As he was talking, suddenly Sun Kewang's exploration of the horse came to report that the Jingzhou Army's cavalry camp rushed out of Bikou before Ainengqi blocked Bikou, and was currently in a confrontation with Ainengqi.
As if he was hit by a heavy hammer, Zhang Xianzhong could hardly breathe. Lin Chunhong's sudden attack had already made him feel a little uneasy. Now his carefully arranged pockets did not cover the cavalry, which also led to Ainengqi being entangled by more than a thousand cavalrymen, making it difficult to move.
Alas, intelligence! intelligence! Zhang Xianzhong's eyes were involuntarily turned to Liu Wenxiu.
Liu Wenxiu lowered her head deeply and dared not say a word.
"Let Ainengqi gradually move closer to Sun Kewang, and let Sun Kewang send troops to support Ainengqi!"
Zhang Xianzhong pondered for a moment and said sternly.
"As for this..." Zhang Xianzhong's eyes almost burst out with fire, "Bai Wenxuan, immediately lead troops to encircle the dog soldiers in the city! The rest of the troops must resist the dog soldiers outside the city. If anyone dares not do his best, don't blame me for being polite!"
Zhang Xianzhong's control over his subordinates was far beyond that of Gao Yingxiang. With the issuance of Zhang Xianzhong's orders, the soldiers and horses in the city moved one after another, and the generals carried out Zhang Xianzhong's orders without hesitation.
Li Guangzu tried to reduce casualties and minimize the speed of advancement. The speed of the entire team was to climb turtle. At the same time, Li Guangzu sent capable personnel to stand at a high place to pay attention to the movements of the bandits at any time. As soon as Bai Wenxuan's troops moved, Li Guangzu immediately ordered Tianwu Camp to retreat while fighting.
At this moment, smoke suddenly emerged in the northwest of the county town, and the fire rose into the sky and caught fire! The fire quickly spread into the city with the fierce northwest wind.
Seeing this, Li Guangzu laughed at Zhou Shiliang, "I really made Niu Qingdong successful. Haha, let's go. If we don't leave, we will become roasted suckling pigs!"
With a command, Tianwu Camp quickly retreated outside the city and left a group of stunned bandits behind.
It turned out that Niu Qingdong led more than 20 people to remove his troops, dressed himself up like a bandit, and quietly touched the northwest direction. Niu Qingdong was born as a bandit, and knew the bandits' journey. He easily dealt with the puzzled bandits along the way and arrived at his destination without any harm. After arriving, he set fires in the city. Most of the towns in Biyang County were wooden houses, and with the help of the northwest wind, they immediately started to burn. Not only did the bandits not have time to put out the fire, but they were also burned to death.
As the fire spread, the bandits rushed to the southeast in smoke and fire. The number of bandits from all walks of life, coupled with the few ordinary people, led to a large congestion on the streets, and many bandits were trampled to death.
Before Bai Wenxuan's subordinates could see the shadow of Tianwu Camp, they were blocked on the street by the bandits that came and could not move forward. Bai Wenxuan was furious and ordered his subordinates to drive the bandits aside. If there were anyone who refused to give in, they would kill them. The bandits had no choice but to retreat, and they had swords and guns in their hands. How could Bai Wenxuan slaughter arbitrarily? As a result, Bai Wenxuan's subordinates fought with the bandits, and the situation was extremely chaotic.
In the end, Bai Wenxuan was unable to retreat and fled south with the rushing bandits.
The fire became increasingly bigger and closer to the county government. Zhang Xianzhong looked at the sudden fire and almost vomited blood. He held the pillars in the yamen with his hands, opened his eyes wide, and his face was full of reluctance.
Although Li Dingguo was young, he had been fighting with Zhang Xianzhong for three years. He immediately said anxiously: "Entertainment Father, let's go. If you don't leave, it will be too late! Entertainment Father..."
Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth: "The inner ghost must be the inner ghost! Dingguo, my adoptive father regretted it. After entering the city, he should have slaughtered all the ants. Otherwise, why would this happen? If you are not careful, you will lose all the whole plate and lose all the whole plate..."
"Entertainment father, go quickly, the fire is burning to the eyebrow..." After saying that, Li Dingguo raised Zhang Xianzhong's arm and walked south without waiting for Zhang Xianzhong's consent.
Zhang Xianzhong shouted loudly: "Go west, there are ambushes in the south!"
Li Dingguo suddenly realized and led more than 200 select leaders to protect Zhang Xianzhong, through the smoke and headed towards the west gate.
Zhang Xianzhong was right. Outside the south gate, Hu Xiao Camp had been waiting for a long time.
The bandits escaped from the south gate and saw the Tiger Roar Camp waiting in full force, and the swords and guns emitted a terrifying light. Countless steel crossbows were pointing at them, taking a breath, and running to both sides.
The tiger roared the head of the tiger's roaring camp, making the bandits scream. The spearman and the sword and shield immediately charged forward, shouting wildly to save themselves from death.
The bandits had no fighting spirit and threw away their swords and guns, and squatted on the ground with their heads in their arms. The soldiers of the Tiger Roar Camp ignored them and chased the bandits running around, killing them, making them cry and howl and blood flowing all over the ground.
When Li Guangzu led the Tianwu Camp to arrive, the situation was even more and more bandits surrendered. Zhou Shiliang kept looking around, as if looking for someone.
Li Guangzu knew Zhou Shiliang's Xiaojiu, "Don't look for it, you should run from Ximen! It's cheap Wei Yuexiang!"
Zhou Shiliang patted his head, looking very disappointed
"It's already good. Zhang Xianzhong was almost wiped out. Do you think we have not made enough contributions?"
...
Li Dingguo was indeed extremely brave. Under Wei Yuexiang's tight interception, he actually protected Zhang Xianzhong. Liu Wenxiu escaped and fled to Sun Kewang in a panic.
In the end, as the fire spread to the south gate and the heavy smoke was dense, the battle could not continue, so the two battalions of troops retreated to the camp. In this battle, Zhang Xianzhong's more than 8,000 troops were almost completely lost, and Bai Wenxuan died in the chaos.
The fire in Biyang alarmed Sun Kewang. Sun Kewang was shocked and threw the order to support Ainengqi out of the sky, and personally led most of the troops to Biyang to hurry. On the way, he happened to run into Zhang Xianzhong, who was in a mess and knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "I'm late to rescue my foster father, and I hope my foster father will forgive me."
After seeing most of the troops brought by Sun Kewang, Zhang Xianzhong's heart sank little by little, his eyes almost burst into flames, and he cursed with hatred: "I am not promising beast, what's the use of raising you! Elm head, so many years of battles have been in vain!"
Sun Kewang knelt on the ground, crawled to Zhang Xianzhong's feet, and hugged Zhang Xianzhong's legs: "The adoptive father scolded him correctly, his son was incompetent, and he could not rescue him. Please punish him!"
Seeing that Sun Kewang still did not realize his mistake, Zhang Xianzhong was so angry that his teeth were chewing, "Bastard, you still don't understand that Ainengqi is dangerous! I want you to pick up Ainengqi, what are you doing here?"
Sun Kewang was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, cold sweat came out behind him, and he bowed to the ground, unable to say a word.
Zhang Xianzhong shouted: "You send troops immediately now, how much can you take out? Time is precious. Let's talk about other things later. Go quickly! Dingguo, you go too. Follow your elder brother's instructions in everything. Do you understand?"
Sun Kewang jumped up from the ground and immediately led his troops to Ainengqi. The three routes of troops were racing to Ainengqi.
At first, Lin Chunhong's goal was to eat Ainengqi.
According to the combat plan, the task of the Cavalry Camp is to rescue refugees and entangle Sun Kewang so that he cannot support Ainengqi. Lin Chunhong led his troops to attack Miyang, just to lure Ainengqi to attack Xubao with confidence. When Ainengqi was tired of soldiers in Xubao, Lin Chunhong quietly returned to attack Ainengqi, and he would definitely be able to shoot Ainengqi's intestines. For this reason, Lin Chunhong left Tiance Camp in Xubao. Lin Chunhong believed that with the ability of the bandits to attack, the strong men of Tiance Camp and Xubao could easily deal with Ainengqi.
In order to prevent Zhang Xianzhong from trying his best to rescue Ai Nengqi, Lin Chunhong ordered the Pili Camp to bombard the city walls without hesitation, in order to scare the courage of the Bianyang garrison and make his morale low enough to fight.
However, there were too many accidents on the battlefield. Ainengqi did not attack Xubao according to the staff's plan. If the Jingzhou Army had not had the excellent intelligence capabilities, Ainengqi would have blocked the Cavalry Camp. At the same time, Li Guangzu unexpectedly set off a fire, burned Biyang to white ground, and wiped out most of Zhang Xianzhong's eight thousand troops.
Lin Chunhong now has a deeper understanding of how important it is to give the frontline generals the right to make decisions with the current level of information transmission!
After resolving the battle in Biyang, Lin Chunhong threw the prisoners to the reserve camp. After a little rest, he immediately led three chebu battalions to Bikou overnight. Now, the key to whether to eat Ainengqi is whether Sun Kewang rescues Zhang Xianzhong or rescues Ainengqi.
If Sun Kewang came to support Zhang Xianzhong after seeing the fire, he was exactly what Lin Chunhong wanted. If Sun Kewang looked at Bikou, then Lin Chunhong would be ready to retreat to Xubao and wait for Zhang Xianzhong to withdraw his troops.
