Chapter 137 The Yanluo River

In the dispute between Prince Ying and Prince Ying, the central prince of Daning, it was clear that he had the upper hand by suppressing Prince Ying's palace. A "filthy and chaotic harem" was placed on Prince Ying's head. Huang Long Emperor took the opportunity to suppress Prince Ying's military power.

One layer of peeling off, it was at this time that Shi Zhoulong committed the crime.

He heard that King Ying was under control in the court, so he gathered a group of brothers from the army to go to Zhongxuan to argue. Fortunately, Li Fuguang noticed it in time and suppressed Shi Zhoulong before the court sent troops, helping him eliminate this "rebellion."

It was a serious crime to kill the nine tribes. However, he could not escape the death penalty. In the end, he was still charged with "gathering a crowd to make trouble."

Prime Minister Yi Meigu originally wanted to exile Shi Zhoulong to the South China Sea, but thanks to King Ying's secret efforts, he was demoted to a hard job as the director of Zhongyuan Warehouse, so Quan Dang could temporarily avoid the limelight. At that time, King Ying just wanted to keep Shi Zhoulong.

This fierce general was not allowed to go to the remote countryside of the South China Sea to torture his spirit. Unexpectedly, when we were planning yesterday, we thought that he happened to be in the Central Plains warehouse, raising troops for a thousand days in one moment. He was the key to the surprise attack, so he sent Dou Guankui to come in advance.

Give advice.

Shi Zhoulong was a forthright and friendly person. In recent years, he had secretly developed a wave of influence in Zhongyuancang. At this time, there were more than a hundred strong men kneeling behind him. The man worshiping a female prime minister next to him was very eye-catching. King Ying

Frowning slightly. One of the hidden reasons why Shi Zhoulong was punished back then was because he was sexually attracted to men and was not tolerated by Gang Chang. Although he reluctantly found a marriage for him at that time to ward off the rumors, looking back now, it turns out that it is hard to change a person's nature.

All the generals gathered together and gathered around King Ying to discuss countermeasures. King Ying asked everyone to be calm. He sat at the head of the west city and looked in the direction of Qianyang City. He saw a fiery snake swam towards Zhongyuan Cang. Shi Zhoulong hurriedly approached King Ying.

When he was ordered to go into battle, King Ying told him to sit at the top of the city and kill chickens without using a sledgehammer.

Qianyang's reinforcements, together with the remaining 4,000 people who had retreated from Zhongyuancang, fought back to the city. Seeing the lights on the city head and the city gate ajar, they did not dare to enter for a while. The Qianyang governor raised his horse and asked who dared to invade Zhongyuancang, and the white flag saddle

He replied that King Ying was here, and Qianyang had received a wanted order from the court. However, he was frightened by King Ying's reputation and did not know the details of the city. He was hesitating when a shout of death suddenly sounded from behind, and a cavalry broke into the rear of the formation and charged at them.

At the same time, the cavalry in the city also swarmed out, and the reinforcements immediately became confused and retreated backwards.

The Langzhen army pursued them all the way to Qianyang City. The defenders closed the door and guarded tightly. They then returned to Zhongyuancang. At this moment, the morning star had risen, and supplies of food, horses, weapons and equipment had been replenished. King Ying ordered the entire army to change their horses and march north immediately.

While leaving, a fire broke out and burned the Zhongyuan warehouse for three days and three nights.

The most important supplies obtained by Zhongyuancang were horses. On average, each cavalryman had two batches of horses, and the generals had three batches. All the troops marched non-stop, passing through the jurisdiction of the states and counties along the way before fortifying them, and they would arrive in two days and one night.

On the banks of the Yanluo River, they finally encountered the first group of intercepting troops at a hillside more than 20 miles away from the river. This was three thousand infantry led by Xia Wuming, the prefect of Biyin City in Heyin.

The two armies faced off against each other, and the generals came out for a dialogue.

Xia Wuming Xianneng was famous in Heyou and Jiangbei, and King Ying had heard about it for a long time. The area under the jurisdiction of Biyin City was the area most affected by Yanluo River floods in the past. However, in the few years after he took office, not only the embankment of Heyan, but also Biyin City

The people's livelihood has been steadily improving, so I have a good impression of him. Today, I see this man who is almost 40 years old. He is not wearing a military uniform, but is dressed in plain clothes. He is standing on a gentle slope. He is looking down from a high position and has a high-spirited look, showing the demeanor of a Confucian general.

Xia Wuming was also sizing up the enemy troops at the same time. He had long heard of King Ying's name and admired King Ying's achievements in conquering the south and north. At this moment, he saw that King Ying was calm and mighty, and the Langzhen army was brave and elite. Although the strength of his own troops was three times that of the enemy, but

If he really surrendered, he might not have gained an advantage. He didn't completely believe the heinous crimes in the court's wanted order, so he questioned King Ying face to face.

"Why did the traitor in front of me commit the heinous crime of killing his brother, his father, and the royal family?"

King Ying said frankly: "Therefore, it is true that the prince was killed alone, but when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. It is just a struggle for power!" However, he categorically denied the crime of killing his father and killing the royal family.

Xia Wuming asked again: "If what you said is true, then who is the real culprit?"

"If I said it was Zheng Cong, would you believe it?"

Xia Wuming was silent for a long time, and suddenly ordered the withdrawal of troops. "Xia has long admired King Ying's style. Without further ado, I will let you wait for today. If we see the battle again in the future, Xia will do his best to fulfill his duty."

On the afternoon of August 18, King Ying's army and horses successfully crossed the river. At this time, spies reported that Zhong Xuan's pursuers had gathered reinforcements from various prefectures and counties along the way. A total of more than 5,000 cavalry had chased them to the river. King Ying specially ordered Huangfu Lianzhi

He led his empty horse into the mountain, and then led his elite troops to hide behind a low hill in the south of the mountain and north of the water. He then swept away the hoofprints of the ambush soldiers and used the hoofprints into the mountain to deceive the sentinels who were pursuing the army.

The dusk is gradually fading, and the north wind blowing down from the hills is getting stronger and stronger, biting people's muscles and bones. The cold wind blows through the cracks in the rocks, making miserable whimpering sounds, like the ghosts of Shun who died in the battle more than ten years ago.

They still refused to disperse.

Dou Guankui asked King Ying to take off his post to avoid enemy sentries. King Ying sent several groups of spies and reported back that the enemy's scouts followed the footsteps of Huangfu Lianzhi's empty cavalry.

All night long, no words were spoken, and the horses were still in the arms. All the troops took turns to rest. When dawn came, the pursuers on the other side began to cross the river in batches. The Hierro River was not as deep and wide as the Jiao River, and large ships could not be driven there. They could only be ferried by small boats and rafts. Hundreds of ferries were surging.

The river was undulating, even the soldiers from the south were a little panicked, not to mention the big soldiers from the north who couldn't swim.

The Central Army that was chasing after Zhong Xuanbei Camp was already very angry, and because they pursued King Ying in the wrong direction and suffered a few extra days of hardship, they were now very angry. Of course, they had to leave the dangerous and drudgery of crossing the river to the local army.

The local army was secretly dissatisfied with the Central Army, but they had imperial orders in hand, so they had no choice but to obey the orders. In their hearts, the boss was not willing, so they managed to cross the river slowly, but they did not pay attention to the deployment of defense. Firstly, because they were rebellious and unwilling to do so.

They were willing to listen to the orders of the Central Army. Secondly, they simply did not believe that the rebels would dare to turn around and cause trouble for so many people. They did not dare to come and even put up any kind of defense. So they huddled loosely and haphazardly on the north bank.

The Central Army began to cross the river. There were no horses on the boat. People and horses were crowded together on the narrow deck of the boat. When they were about to cross the half-way point, spies from King Ying's army reported that the saddle of the white flag on the south bank was already in place. King Ying had been waiting for this news.

.

The north wind swept down from Luhuang Mountain became even colder, and the wind made people cry. King Ying saw that the weather had come, and immediately waved the flag in his hand, and the five hundred cavalry who were hiding in the wind followed the wind from the hills to the pursuers on the river bank.

Pounce.

Seeing a troop rushing down from the hill, the local army was obviously a little stunned. They didn't realize for a moment that they were rebels. When they regained their senses and mounted their horses to meet the enemy, their eyes were blown open by the strong wind.

With the wind, it rushed into the chaotic formation of the local army and quickly cut the defense on the north bank in half like a knife cutting tofu.

Two fierce generals, Wan Qiliangzhi and Shi Zhoulong, were the first to rush into the enemy's formation.

Wan Qiliang's steel spear flew up and down, and no one could sit on the horse any longer. The wolf army behind him formed a cone formation and penetrated the enemy. The loud noise of firecrackers echoed in the mountains and rivers. The enemy's right wing

Suddenly a big hole opened up.

Shi Zhoulong led the Zhongyuancang soldiers and a part of the Langzhen army. A copper stick swept the way forward. The handsome young man named Shang Han followed his horse and ran quickly, his speed was not inferior to that of the war horse. Only Shi Zhou was seen.

The dragon descended from the mountain and the tiger swept away with a stick. Everyone fell to the ground, regardless of whether they were men or horses. Shang Han held a sharp knife in his hand and followed up, one by one, stabbing at the vital points. The soldiers in Zhongyuan Cang were all elites descended from Shi Zhou Long, and they were almost as brave.

Prince Yu Ying's soldiers cooperated with the Langhu Army and forcibly penetrated the enemy's left wing.

Wan Qiliangzhi and Shi Zhoulong did not forget to pay attention to each other even after the fierce battle. One of them was as agile as a dragon, and the other was as powerful as a lion. They both had the intention of competing in their hearts, and each of them mustered twelve points of energy to kill the enemy.

, the Langzhen Army and Zhongyuancang's soldiers saw their general like this, their morale was so high, as if possessed by a fierce god, not giving any chance to the enemy.

Although our own troops were elite, there were already two thousand enemy troops crossing the river. After all, there were too many people. King Ying saw that the enemy troops were separated on the left and right, and the central ferry happened to have a flaw. He ordered the flag to be waved urgently. Dou Guankui led the remaining 500 cavalry.
