The battle lasted until it was dark, with heavy casualties on both sides.The Shun soldiers did not break through the city walls, so they had to retreat in preparation for another battle tomorrow.Xin Sizhong stood under the city, looking at the brutal fight in the city, secretly frightened.This was the first time he had seen such a desperate Ming army, and after being attacked by several times the enemy's attack, a series of torches were lit on the city to prevent the enemy from sneaking up.Outside the city, the dark night covered the surrounding mountains, and only the joint camp that stretched for a few miles was sporadically flickering with lights, looking murderous and desolate.At first, only a few people were singing, but gradually the number of people singing the harmony increased, and soon it became a chorus of thousands of people.The apricot blossoms bloomed, the shandan was red, and Zhangshui ushered in Wang Shuo's soldiers.Since then, the people of Zhaomin are equal, Yihu is hi, there are clothes, food and fields.The land law, the election order, and Li Shu's life are guaranteed.Follow our general, Yi Hu Hi, defend his hometown and keep the peace.What kind of army is this, surrounded by several times the enemy's army, with heavy casualties during the day, but still able to sing at night, why does Xintianyou have such an optimistic attitude and such high morale Xin Sizhong sat in his big tent, and couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart.Even if it is the king's personal barracks, he will not have such bravery, such fighting spirit, he listened carefully to the songs in the city.He is from Shaanxi, and there is not much difference between the Longzhong accent and Shaanxi, and he can still understand the lyrics.He listened to it for a long time, and finally couldn't listen anymore, walked to Lu Wenbin's handsome tent, looked at Lu Wenbin, who was sitting behind the handsome case with a depressed face, and asked: "Are you sure that the opposite side is the Ming army" Lu Wenbin looked at Xin Sizhong and smiled bitterly: "Yes yes and no."
Xin Sizhong asked: "How do you say this?"
Lu Wenbin explained: "The leader on the other side is the self-proclaimed general Wang Shuo, who was originally a thousand households in the Ming Dynasty, and followed his father Gongchang to command the deputy envoy Wang Yan to guard Fuqiang.Wang Yan was defeated and killed by me, and he ran all the way here to recruit soldiers to fight me.It is said that he should be counted as the Ming army, but he appointed himself the general of the land guard, dismissed the officials of the Ming Dynasty, appointed officials on his own, tampered with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and set his own land laws and election orders.At the moment, I can't figure out whether he is counting the Ming army or establishing himself as the king, anyway, he is against us, robbing our grain and grass, killing our soldiers, we have to exterminate him, but this kid is very good at using soldiers, and I have attacked him several times and he has been beaten back.This time, you can also see that his army is only a few thousand people, and our 20,000 horses can't help him. ”Xin Sizhong pondered for a long time and asked, "The general opposite today is Wang Shuo" Lu Wenbin said: "No."
It was Zhang Ermeng, the commander of the horse army under him.Wang Shuo had already gone to Anding, leaving Zhang Ermeng and Fang Dachu, the commander of the infantry army, to guard Zhang County. ”Xin Sizhong nodded after hearing this.Just look at the army he has trained, and you know that this man is extraordinary.And today's opponent's command ability is average, if Wang Shuo only has this ability, he should have let Lu Wenbin be wiped out long ago.After a long time, Xin Sizhong said: "Let's follow King Chuang to fight the world, just because the world is too dark, the poor can't live, let's give the poor a way to live I listen to the song of Xintianyou sung on the other side, this Wang Shuo also wants to let the poor live, it should be the same as us."
Don't attack the city tomorrow, I'll go to the city and have a good talk with the other party, maybe the two families can become one, and our righteous army will add another tiger general" Lu Wenbin was about to answer, and the sentry came to report: "I don't know when the west gate of Zhangxian County was opened, and the enemy has quietly withdrawn from the county seat and fled."
Xin Sizhong also suddenly felt that the other party's singing had stopped for some time.He thought for a while, and suddenly shouted: "It's broken" I didn't have time to explain to Lu Wenbin, so I hurriedly ran out, came to my big tent, rode on my war horse, took my personal guards, and galloped outside the camp.Xin Sizhong had already expected that Zhang Ermeng would not be able to defend Zhangxian County with the soldiers and horses in his hands, and he would definitely open the city gate and escape.He asked Lu Wenbin to storm in the east of the city, but he secretly sent 5,000 elite soldiers to ambush on both sides of the road in the west of the city, and when Zhang Ermeng passed by the path, he annihilated the other party in one fell swoop.Seeing that the other party's soldiers were so heroic, and hearing the lyrics of Xintianyou, he already had a sense of pity for each other and didn't want to destroy the other party.He was to rush to the west of the city to stop his men.The city of Zhangxian is small, the north and south are mountains, and there are only two gates in and out.But no matter how small the county seat is, it is a radius of several miles, and Xin Sizhong galloped around the city to the ambush site, to say the least, it would take half an hour.It is difficult to predict whether this delay will prevent the tragic fighting that is about to take place
