Chapter 541: Soldiers trapped in Luoyang


Outside Changyuan City, on the open field, there were many flags, and the soldiers lined up in a neat military formation.

It was as if the entire military array was filled with an aura of slaughter At this time, Sergeant Zheng was cheering and shouting in unison.

As Wang Shichong led the army to fight, he matched Pei Xing with a martial arts and asked for orders to challenge the generals of the Tang Army.

It's just that after flipping and hitting down, Tang Zhujun was either killed or injured, but Pei Xingyan was unscathed.

This move can be said to have greatly deterred the Tang army and greatly reduced the morale of the Tang soldiers.

"Pei Shilang, I didn't expect you to be old and strong, and several of the sons under his command are all strong in martial arts, and they are invincible."

"I'm so envious" Seeing Pei Xingyan intimidating the Tang Army in the formation, his demeanor was great, but he couldn't help but attract Wang Shichong's attention.

Immediately, he said slowly to Pei Renji's amiable face beside him.

Pei Renji, after the fall of Li Mi, Pei's father and son were also captured in the chaos.

Because Wang Shichong valued the ability of Pei's father and son, they all treated each other with courtesy and invited them to achieve a great cause together.

Among them, Pei Renji was named the squire of the military department, and Pei Xingyan stood side by side with Wang Yanzhang because of his super martial arts.

The two are the two fierce generals of Zheng Guo and the generals of Zhenguo.

At this time, Pei Xingyan was responsible for challenging the generals of the Tang Army, and Wang Yanzhang was responsible for pressing the formation, ready to replace Pei Xingyan, who was greatly damaged in spirit.

It's just that Pei Xingyan's martial arts are invincible in the Tang camp.

Up to now, there is almost no one in the Tang camp who can fight the enemy.

Obviously, in this clash of fighting generals, Zheng Jun obviously won completely Seeing that his side was deflated again and again in the fight, Pei Xingyan was unstoppable, Xu Shiji played his excellent commander and ordered to stick to it without fighting Subsequently, the sergeant was ordered to move the equipment and materials for the defense of the city to the city according to the original deployment and prepare to resist.

Although Li Yuanji looked down on Xu Shiji, he did not dare to raise objections to the battle at this time.

Because, he fought fiercely with Pei Xingyan in the fight, but he couldn't support a few moves, so he fell into a comprehensive disadvantage.

If it weren't for the all-out efforts of the generals in the army to save them, I'm afraid this life would have been confessed here today.

It was precisely because of Pei Xingyan's divine might that Li Yuanji did not dare to speculate Next, Wang Shichong also recalled Pei Xingyan, and then waved his hand to attack Quanjin.

For a time, Zheng Jun, under the leadership of the generals, was fierce and rushed to the Tang camp without fear It's just that Xu Shiji is not a mediocre talent, he has already made complete preparations beforehand, and Sergeant Zheng Jun has not yet arrived in front of the camp.

"Boom" Before the Zheng soldiers approached, the strong bows and crossbows arranged on the first line of the camp wall all tilted down one after another, shooting straight into the Zheng army.

"Ahh A miserable cry sounded, and the Zheng army let out endless wails in the array, and one after another sergeants fell to the ground with arrows and died It's just that, despite the fierce battle, Sergeant Zheng still braved the rain to kill and attack the camp, and no sergeant flinched.

All of a sudden, the two armies clashed fiercely, but it was hindered by Xu Shiji's overall deployment strategy and firmly held the camp.

The attack lasted for several days, but there was no victory.

It's just that during this time, the latest news came back, and Wang Ren was defeated miserably.

Not only that, but even Yuwen Chengdu also fought with Li Yuanba in the Purple Mountain, and the fate of the two was dueled.

However, the final result was that Yuwen Chengdu was defeated by Li Yuanba's golden hammer and was seriously injured.

However, the fact is that Li Yuanba did not give up, and actually tore Yuwen Chengdu in half alive, which was extremely bloody.

Hearing the bad news, Wang Shichong hurriedly snatched the battle report from the scout's hand and quickly watched it at a glance.

There was a hint of tension between his eyebrows. swept away, Wang Shichong had already learned the causes and consequences of Wang Renze's defeat.

It turned out that Wang Ren was violent, confidently leading the army to attack Li Shimin, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin had already made a decision Li Shimin had already recalled the protection of the eldest grandson Wuji, joined the righteous army, and strengthened his strength.

Later, he set up an ambush in the Purple Mountain in the west of Yiyang, and then Wang Ren mistakenly hit the first plan and set up an ambush in the Purple Mountain.

Among them, Li Yuanba personally fought and dragged Yuwen Chengdu, while Wang Renze, Shan Xiongxin was defeated by Liu Hongji and Hou Junji.

Because the Zheng army was ambushed, the army's morale was lost, and Li Shimin immediately seized the fighter plane and personally led the army to attack.

As Li Shimin personally swung his sword to kill the enemy, the Xuanjia army was almost as fierce as a tiger, and burst out with extremely strong combat power.

After a fight, Zheng's army was defeated, Yuwen Chengdu was damaged by the Purple Mountain, and Wang Ren had no choice but to gather the remnants and retreat to Xingtai City.

It was only said that Wang Shichong, who got the news, still dared to continue fighting, seeing that his side had not been able to break through the Tang camp for a long time. also pretended to use the truce as a pretense, and slowly retreated like a tide Back in the city, Wang Shichong informed the generals of the emergency situation of the military situation, and then announced the withdrawal of the whole army and collected troops to defend Luoyang.

In fact, this time the troops were withdrawn to Luoyang, and Wang Shichong also made a great determination.

Originally, Wang Shichong wanted to take the opportunity to lead the army to attack when Li Shimin was not in charge of the overall situation in the camp.

Then break through the camp and gain the initiative in the war It's just that Wang Shichong didn't expect that Li Shimin would be so knowledgeable and good at making use of people, even when Li Yuanji was still in the army.

Forcefully overriding public opinion, he demoted the general Xu Shiji as a temporary general, responsible for leading the army to resist his own side.

It must be known that since the founding of Li Tang, there has been almost no precedent for foreign generals to make peace.

Almost all the generals who guard everywhere are Li clan relatives, not foreign generals It's a pity that Wang Shichong underestimated Li Shimin's courage this time, and he was able to value Xu Shiji's ability and let him be handsome.

If Li Yuanji is the temporary commander this time, Wang Shichong is 100% sure that he will be able to defeat the Tang camp.

It's just that, at this moment, it's already too late to say anything After the big victory, Li Shimin's military prestige in the hinterland of Zheng State will reach a higher level.

At that time, the generals of all walks of life, who were already erratic in Zheng State, would definitely flock to respond and support Li Shimin.

In this case, the situation will be even worse, and the destruction of Wang Shichong will become a sure thing.

Now, Wang Shichong urgently returned to Luoyang and stuck to his place Although sticking to Luoyang will lead to the main force of the Tang army driving straight into Luoyang, isolating Luoyang as an isolated city.

Wang Shichong will definitely be completely lost in the lonely city, losing the most basic ability to expand.

But he had no choice, and with Wang Ren's defeat, retreating to Luo seemed to be the only way for Zheng's army.

It is only said that in the following days, Wang Shichong stayed behind Wang Yanzhang as a general, continued to lead the army to fight every day, provoked in the Tang camp, and confused the Tang army.

But before the night condensed, Lao Wang secretly dispatched military orders to evacuate the main force in batches and withdraw to Luoyang.

After repeating this for a few days, Changyuan City was almost empty, and the main force of the Zheng army had already left.

At this time, Xu Shiji received the victory of the Purple Mountain, and after thinking about it, he knew why Zheng Junhui had changed his previous style in the past few days. but shouted in front of the camp, but did not attack the city Xu Shiji also acted resolutely, figured out the cause and effect, and also summoned the generals and issued orders to pursue.

Early the next morning, the Tang army suddenly rushed out of the camp, surrounded the broken Wang Yanzhang's headquarters, and then besieged it.

Due to the gap in troops, the enemy is outnumbered, even though Wang Yanzhang's martial arts are super strong, he rushes back and forth in the chaotic army, and is unstoppable But to no avail, Sergeant Zheng Jun was also killed one after another and fell in a pool of blood.

However, under the cover of the Jianghuai strong army, in the end, Wang Yanzhang was scarred and broke out of the siege with his own force.

Subsequently, Xu Shiji waved his hand and signaled his army not to chase after him, but to seize Changyuan City first.

After nearly several months of confrontation, the Tang army finally captured the fortified city and cleared the way to march into the eastern capital of Luoyang.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Shiji also gave full play to the advantage of strategic vision and opened up the Luoshui Waterway first.

Then he led the army to join Li Shimin, so as to coerce Luoyang City and unite with the rebels who revolted in various places.

Subsequently, he marched to Luoyang, the capital of Zheng State, and completely wiped out Wang Shichong in Luoyang.

A few days later, Luoyang City At this time, Wang Shichong had already led the main force back to Luoyang City, and then ordered the generals to control the gates around the city and strictly guard them And, in order to resist the next large-scale attack of the Tang army, Wang Shichong also vigorously recruited people to join the defense of the city.

For a time, the defenders of Luoyang reached 100,000 people, which can be described as violent.

It's just that Wang Shichong, who suffered this great defeat, was in a depressed mood and extremely melancholy, and he was silent in the palace every day drinking and having fun.

In this regard, Wang Mang saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, feeling the misfortune of fate for the imperial brother.

In fact, the Zheng army should not have lost this battle, but the reason why the Tang army was able to win was the Li family's background.

Although Wang Shichong at this time was also very brilliant, he was the emperor of the country, sat on the supreme imperial throne, and had the absolute right to speak, which can be described as the master of the country.

However, Wang Shichong came from a humble background, but his identity as a Hu merchant in his early years had already been engraved.

As early as the Northern Dynasties, the Li family was a Guanlong noble, and with the development of time, the Li family's prestige and strength were not comparable to Wang Shichong.

Otherwise, why did the eldest grandson Wuji call for the Li family's family background, and the Zheng army guards from all over Luoyang responded one after another.

This is actually the Li family's advantage in identity It can be said that most of Wang Shichong's defeat in this battle was due to his loss.

Otherwise, even if the Zheng army will still be defeated, the situation will not deteriorate to the point where it is now trapped in a lonely city.

Therefore, it was this battle that gave Wang Shichong a heavy blow and made him almost collapse It wasn't until nearly half a month later that Pei Renji's father and son united with some old ministers to secretly discuss re-establishing Yang Dong and overthrowing the Wang family.

It's a pity that the news was leaked before the matter was implemented.

Hearing the news, Wang Shichong was furious, and then personally ordered Wang Mang to lead the army to round up Pei's father and son.

However, also because Pei Renji had an old man in Luoyang, with his help, Pei's father and son took a step ahead of Wang Mang and led their families out of the city.

Subsequently, the Pei family slowly headed west Although Pei's father and son were not captured, Wang Shichong sobered up from drunkenness and began to focus on handling government affairs and stabilizing the situation in the city.

Seeing that Wang Shichong had regained his former fighting spirit, Wang Mang also made a statement and sent envoys to the world to oppose the king and ask for reinforcements.

In response to Wang Mang's plan, Wang Shichong also gave instructions and expressed his approval.

Subsequently, Wang Shichong took Zhu Can as an envoy and went straight to Hebei to persuade the alliance with Dou Jiande and ask for reinforcements.

With Wang Mang as an envoy, he went south with heavy gifts to persuade the Qi army to go north to support and resist Li Tang.

And because of his proximity to Cao Cao, he also sent envoys to persuade Cao Cao to fight against Li Tang together.

At this moment, the fate of King Zheng's clan has entered the point of life and death, what will be the final result S: The second update, 10,000 words broke out today, and there will be a chapter of 4,000 words in a while.
