Chapter 137 The angry Zhang Xutuo
Luo Shixin attacked fiercely and rushed into the city gate at all costs.
Han Jinluo and four other heroes went crazy and defended the city gate at all costs.
The two sides fought to the death on the narrow battlefield, with corpses lying on the river and blood flowing into a river.
Qin Qiong led his army to Ningyang North City and attacked.
Zhang Xutuo led the main army to the west city of Ningyang. Seeing that Luo Shixin and the soldiers of the Selected Front Group had the opportunity, he immediately ordered the main team to launch a full-line attack. Taking advantage of the panic of the thief, he seized the city with thunder.
A faint light jumped out of the darkness and spread out in an instant. The night faded away quickly, revealing the blue sky.
Wu Heita led his army to Ningyang South City and beat drums to attack.
The official army came overwhelmed by the earth, and the sound of killing shook the sky and its momentum was like a rainbow.
At the critical moment of life and death, the rebel soldiers in the city had to face the cruel reality. If the city fell, the entire army would be wiped out and the heads fell to the ground. On the contrary, if you defend to the end, there would be a glimmer of hope of survival. The white-haired coach Li Fengyun and the powerful Cangtou army were in Yuancheng more than 30 miles away. As long as they came over and attacked the rebels inside and outside the city, the official army would inevitably be attacked from both sides, so that they could get a chance to break through.
Han Jinluo, Zhen Baoche, Shuai Rentai and Huo Xiaohan gradually calmed down from the initial panic and ordered their soldiers to stay in the city and wait for assistance.
Although they were very pessimistic about the battle situation and did not dare to expect Li Fengyun and Cangtou Army to come to rescue in time, the battle situation has developed to this point, and death is also death, and surrender is also death. Since this is the case, it is better to kill a lot of things and take a custody before death. They would rather die with the enemy than beg for mercy.
The soldiers of the rebels who were trapped in despair also calmed down from the bloody killing. Fear can only be exchanged for death. Anyway, it is better to die vigorously. Besides, they also have Li Fengyun and Cangtou Army, and there is still the possibility of survival. Although this possibility is very small, it is better to have hope than to have no hope.
The situation is very clear at the moment. Zhang Xutuo killed a retaliation and surrounded Ningyang City. Duan Wencao, who had been hiding in Xiaqiu City, saw that the battle situation was beneficial to the official army, must go out to attack and attack Li Fengyun and Cangtou Army. Even if Duan Wencao was unwilling to do his best, at least he would have to hold Li Fengyun up and not allow him to support Ningyang. Just wait for Zhang Xutuo to capture Ningyang and wipe out the rebel army in the city, Zhang Xutuo could free up his hands and join forces with Duan Wencao to attack Li Fengyun. The only way for the rebel army to reverse the situation is to defeat Duan Wencao and defeat Duan Wencao before Zhang Xutuo captured Ningyang. Otherwise, this battle would be defeated and Ningyang would be defeated. Li Fengyun had to flee back to Mengshan in a hurry with the defeated army.
Han Jinluo and other four heroes regretted it. It is harder to count on Li Fengyun to create a miracle now than climbing to the sky. Li Fengyun is not only limited in strength, but also full of complaints about the four people refusing to obey his orders. Li Fengyun knew that Ningyang was a trap, so he didn't even want the pile of food, so he took the city and evacuated. If Han Jinluo and others followed his orders and everyone retreated together, the situation of the battle will be very different now. Zhang Xutuo saw the rebel army withdrawing and the plan failed. It was very unfavorable for him to stay in Lu County and entangle with the rebel army. He only had the old man.
Withdrew back to Qi County. By then, the rebel army will attack Ningyang again, and the enemy will only be Duan Wencao and Lu army, so the situation will be beneficial to the rebel army. If the rebel army conquers Ningyang again, why worry about having no food? Now it is meaningless and Li Fengyun is also in a difficult situation. Even if he has the opportunity to create a miracle, based on the actions of the four heroic generals including Han Jinluo, is there still a need for Li Fengyun to save them? Rescue them can win a little reputation for justice, but what about the future? Will Han Jinluo and others be grateful and absolutely obey Li Fengyun's orders in the future?
The more Han Jinluo and others thought about it, the more desperate they became. After despair, they became angry. If you don’t let me live, how can I let you live? Kill them and everyone dies together.
The four heroes and four elite guards of the regiments sacrificed their lives and stepped on the bodies of their robes and attacked wildly, like layers of waves, endlessly. The miracle finally happened. Under their fierce attacks, the official army was unsustainable and retreated step by step, and was finally killed by the rebels.
The city gate could not be closed, and there was no time to clean it up from the inside to the outside. The rebels had no choice but to use the materials on the local area and moved bags of temporary placing on the streets in the city to the city gate as a barrier, blocking the city gate. Then the four heroes and men urgently divided the labor, Zhen Baoche guarded the south city, Shuai Rentai guarded the north city, Huo Xiaohan guarded the west city, and Han Jinluo responded in the middle and supported all parties. In a word, the city was in the city, the city was dead, and the city was dead, and the government was vowed to fight the bloody battle with the government army to the end.
Zhang Xutuo's army attacked fiercely.
Zhang Yuanbei stood behind his father and deeply felt the turbulent anger in his father's heart. This anger was not born because of a traitor, but because of Duan Wencao's treason and Duan Wencao's shameless plot, he put his father in a passive position, forcing his father to fight alone. The soldiers of the Qi army paid a heavy price that could have been avoided.
Zhang Yuanbei was worried that his father would lose his mind and would make a wrong decision. He hesitated for a long time and decided to advise him, although this move might be scolded by his father.
"Sir, since our army evacuated from Wenshui, we have been marching day and night, and we are exhausted. Especially after leaving Maodudian, we have been running for more than 150 miles a day and one night. After arriving in Ningyang, the soldiers launched fierce attacks without waiting for a breath. On the contrary, the bandit army is waiting for labor, and has the benefits of a strong city, and has a lot of troops. Although the thieves are not strong, my tired army has also greatly reduced its strength and has no advantage in military strength. The military strategy says: Ten chapters
If you surround it, attack it by five, fight it by multiple, fight it by the enemy, divide it by the enemy, defend it by the less, avoid it by the worse. Now my army is only 6,000, and the number of bandits may still exceed our army. In this case, we can only win by surprise. However, the sneak attack before dawn has failed to achieve the target of attack, resulting in missing a good opportunity. Since the opportunity has been lost, continuing to attack the city will be to attack the enemy's strengths by one's own shortcomings, which will not only have no results, but will cause heavy losses."
Zhang Xutuo suddenly turned around, stared at Zhang Yuanbei fiercely, and whipped his horse whip head-on.
Zhang Yuanbei looked respectful and did not move at all.
Just as the horse whip was about to suck Zhang Yuanbei's body, Zhang Xutuo's wrist flipped over and the whip changed direction, and he pulled it to the ground with Zhang Yuanbei's arm.
Zhang Xutuo angrily met, while Zhang Yuanbei was not afraid and looked directly at his father, but he could not hide his sadness in his eyes. If he continued to fight like this, both sides would definitely suffer losses, which would not help change the situation in Lu County and even the entire Qilu.
After a long time, Zhang Xutuo's violent aura weakened slightly, and the burning anger in his heart was forcibly suppressed.
"The letter told Duan that he was attacking Ningyang fiercely, but he still didn't see any soldiers and soldiers of the Lu army. I wonder where Duan's army is? Why did Duan's army not fulfill his promise? What critical incident happened in Xiaqiu City? Duan's army was willing to betray our promise and put our Qi army in danger of being attacked from both sides? In order to arrive on time, our army rushed to the battlefield without rest and rushed for a day and a night, and fought for more than two consecutive hours. Now it was exhausted and unsustainable. The bandit army in the direction of Yuancheng was rushing towards Ningyang. Once the bandit army formed an internal and external attack on me, I was in danger."
Zhang Yuanbei hesitated and said nothing.
Zhang Xutuo's words were too direct. If it was not done well, it would intensify the conflict with Duan Wencao. Duan Wencao was angry and might turn against him. If both sides turned against each other, it would inevitably affect the direction of the situation in Qi and Lu. This was contrary to Zhang Xutuo's purpose of rushing to assist Lu County and went against his original intention.
"Sir, the battle has developed to this point. Regardless of whether Duan Jun leaves the city to attack, this battle will not reach its expected goal." Zhang Yuanbei smiled bitterly, "If we continue to fight, even if our army captures Ningyang, it will suffer heavy losses. In this mid-level Duan Jun's thoughts, Duan Jun severely damaged the bandit army without any effort, and eased the situation in Lu County. The battle was fought by us, and the losses were also ours, but the contribution was half of Duan Jun's contribution. What was particularly angry was that he had no loss at all and preserved his strength intact."
Zhang Xutuo's eyes showed murderous intent, his anger was soaring to the sky, and there were signs of going wild.
"Sir, our army arrived at the battlefield on time and launched an attack as promised. It was considered to be the end of kindness and righteousness." Zhang Yuanbei pointed to the battlefield ahead and said with a heartache, "Sir, is there any need to fight this battle? Can it continue? Can it still be won?"
Zhang Yuanbei said it very bluntly. He is unkind and I am unrighteous. Let's go and go back to Qi County. If you stay there, you will be humiliating yourself.
Zhang Xutuo suppressed his anger and focused on thinking.
Zhang Yuanbei saw his father hesitation and was anxious, "Sir, Duan Jun hides in Xiaqiu City, sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. His intention is to use the power of my Qi army to severely damage the rebels. Just wait for both sides to suffer losses, he will go out of the city to attack and get a bargain, so you must not expect Duan Jun to come in time. It is certain that when you are scarred and blood flowing, he will appear. But at that moment, not only do you have no credit, but you will also thank him for saving your life. Even if you have a huge hatred, you can only knock down your teeth and swallow it."
Zhang Xutuo weighed the pros and cons, but in the end, due to the seriousness of the situation, he had to bow to reality and throw down the mess in southwestern Shandong and withdraw back to Qi County.
Zhang Xutuo ordered to stop the attack.
"Sir, you and the Qin Bingsi lead the main force to evacuate first, and you and the Jia Group Master stay to deal with the aftermath." Zhang Yuanbei took the initiative to ask for his order.
Zhang Xutuo knew it well, and Zhang Yuanbei hated Duan Wencao very much. The purpose of leaving behind the disaster was actually to find opportunities to retaliate against Duan Wencao.
"The overall situation is the most important thing in everything, and don't act irritably." Zhang Xutuo concluded that Zhang Yuanbei could not find such an opportunity, because Duan Wencao was not only cunning, but also shameless. His chances of winning against such a person were too small. "The thief army in the direction of Yuancheng will come soon. Although you pretend to be the main force, the thief may not be deceived. Once you launch an attack, you will be attacked from both sides. If the envoy still cannot retreat, he will be the one who betrays the faith. No matter how bad the situation in Lu County is in the future, it has nothing to do with us. He will dig his own grave."
Zhang Yuanbei bowed to accept the order.
