Please ask me to be the emperor

Wang Chengen, the chief military officer of Lintao, was born in Xining Guard and is now forty-eight years old. The ancients said that "at forty, there is no confusion, and at fifty, you know the destiny." Wang Chengen can be said to be strong and old.

Like most general soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, he also had a hereditary military position. Ancestor Wang You was given the post of commander of the Xining Guard because of his meritorious service in fighting against the Japanese pirates.

When the "sea pirates", one of the "three major bandits" who approached the Xining Guard, attacked, he held a broadsword and took the lead. Only then did he achieve military exploits and get the position of garrison.

From that time on, he held a sword in hand and took the lead, and finally won this wealth. Charging into battle is nothing more than a chore to him.

Only this time, Wang Chengen finally met his opponent. Cao Bianjiao, a young and vigorous general in his twenties, commanded three thousand soldiers and horses and was on par with his five thousand elites.

If he had been young, he would have rushed forward with a big knife. It's just that now he is older, more experienced, and more calm in combat. This is why Hong Chengchou sent him as a left-wing general.

The left wing of the officers and soldiers encircled the right wing of the rebel army from north to south, just between Ziweixing Fort and Luoyang City. This is a dangerous position. If there is a slight change, the enemy may cut off his way back, so he has no choice but to be careless.

The officers and soldiers attacked several times in succession, but were all beaten back by Cao Bianjiao. Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but feel proud, and called to the formation: "I heard that you, Wang Cheng'en, are also a brave general. How dare you come out to compete with me to determine the outcome, so as not to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers in vain!"

It was hard for Cao Bianjiao to accept these words. Wang Chengen has a long-standing reputation. If he is afraid of this and damages his reputation, it will inevitably damage his morale. If Wang Chengen really went out to challenge him, he would lose his identity again.

He couldn't help but laugh and said: "I am a commander, not a general, and I am not as knowledgeable as a kid like you!"

Wang Cheng'en had rich experience and directly promoted his own status. He dismissed Cao Bianjiao as a brave general who only knew how to rush and kill without thinking, and defused Cao Bianjiao's call.

Cao Bianjiao was unreasonable and could not help but cursed: "Lao Ge, your family, Hong Chengchou, is the commander-in-chief. How can you do anything about it!"

Wang Chengen had no choice, but fortunately he still had reason, so he had to order his soldiers to continue attacking Cao Bianjiao.

The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and Cao Bianjiao gradually became exhausted. However, he only heard the sound of a cannon, and then the north gate of Luoyang City opened and a group of men and horses came out. Wang Chengen said in his heart, "Here we come," and quickly ordered the 2,000 people who were prepared to step forward to resist.

It turned out that this group of troops was the "Gaoying" that surrendered Zhang Shun. Now it is commanded by Li Xin, assisted by Gao Yigong. Zhang Shun was originally left to guard the city in Luoyang, but now he had no choice but to be sent out.

This shows the ability of Wang Chengen, a veteran general. Although he was attacked from both sides by the rebels, he still stood firm.

Especially the new surrender of "Gaoying" and the death of the original general "Chuang King" Gao Yingxiang. People's hearts were a little unconvinced and refused to give their best, which was regarded as false by Wang Cheng'en.

Li Xin naturally knew that the soldiers and horses in his hands were those that Zhang Shun had to use as a last resort. He had no choice but to hurry and said to Gao Yigong: "Gao Ying is newly attached, and King Shun treats him as if he were a direct descendant. Now it is Shun." When the king needs Gaoying to fight for his life, if he continues to refuse to do his best, wouldn't he have insulted King Shun in vain?"

"What's more, now that your sister is coming, it's better for all the ladies to have something to rely on. We need Gao Ying to back us up. Is this the time for you to slack off?"

That Gao Yigong is also a man who understands the truth. After hearing this, he couldn't help but apologize: "I can't guarantee others. Today I, Gao Yigong, will definitely work hard until death!"

After saying this, Gao Yigong put on his double armor and led the bodyguards on his left and right to kill Wang Chengen first. The other old generals from the high camp, such as Huang Long and Liu Zhe, couldn't help but feel deeply ashamed when they saw the "young master" fighting for his life, and they quickly fought bravely to kill the enemy.

As soon as Gaoying exerted his strength, Lintao Commander-in-Chief Wang Chengen was a little unable to withstand it. He quickly held a long knife, got on his horse, and shouted loudly: "The thieves are fierce now, and our army is in danger. I want to defeat the enemy on the back first, who is willing to follow me into battle to kill the enemy?"

The servants on the left and right are all those who have followed Wang Chengen and experienced hundreds of battles. Hearing this, they couldn't help but loudly responded: "I am willing to die in the service of General Wang!"

Seeing that his morale was ready, Wang Chengen quickly led his troops to attack Gaoying. Although this Wang Cheng'en is old, he is only half a century old, and he is still more brave than Huang Zhong back then.

How can the likes of Huang Long and Liu Zhe stand up to him? After fighting for three or five times, they all retreated in defeat. When Gao Yigong saw something was wrong, he quickly came to fight with a spear himself.

As soon as the two sides fought, there was a strong force. At this time, Gao Yigong realized why Huang Long and Liu Zhe were not his opponents.

It turns out that even though Wang Chengen, the commander-in-chief of Lintao, is old, he is still a good soldier. Gao Yigong's martial arts is good, but it depends on who he compares with. If he compares with Wang Chengen, he will still be far behind. Gao Yigong couldn't help shouting: "This old man is so strong, General Li, come and save me!"

Li Xin couldn't help but have his mind filled with black threads. How could a subordinate call his superior to rescue him? However, Gao Yigong was not only the "young master" of Gaoying, but also Gao Guiying's younger brother. Li Xin was afraid that if he failed, he would ruin his master's affairs, so he had no choice but to take up his spear and fight Wang Chengen.

Although Li Xin's martial arts skills are not as good as those of Chen Changzhen and Wang Jinyi, he is still a good wielder of a gun. He thrust his spear at him, but Wang Chengen ignored him and just slashed at him, cutting only the barrel of his spear.

Only then did Li Xin realize how difficult this guy was. He couldn't help shouting to Gao Yigong: "This guy is fierce, but he is already old. We don't have to be impatient. Wait until his physical strength is exhausted, and then kill him slowly." Late!"

Li Xin was not in a hurry, Gao Yigong was not in a hurry, but Zhang Shun was in a hurry. It turned out that the number of the rebels was only half that of the officers and soldiers, and it was difficult to tell the winner. For the rebels, it was one step closer to defeat.

At this time, Cao Wenzhao also sent a message saying: "The officers and soldiers built a wall of earth and defended it with red cannons, flanges and other muskets. The rebels charged repeatedly and suffered heavy casualties. They can't dismount for a long time. Please hurry up, my lord." decision!"

What is "decision"? It's just fighting, making peace, and leaving. Now if we can't defeat the officers and soldiers in the war, where can we go and who can we make peace with?

Zhang Shun raised his head and looked at the sun. Unknowingly, it was already past noon and he was heading west. The light that originally dazzled the eyes of the officers and soldiers would probably dazzle the eyes of the rebels after more than an hour.

Chen Changzhen, Li Jiyu and Li Mou should be arriving soon, right? It seems that the final decisive battle is about to begin!

At this thought, Zhang Shun couldn't help shouting: "Send an order to Xiao Qinhu, and order him to lead the Tiger Battalion to attack Wang Chengen's troops and quickly resolve the battle! Where is Wukong? I order you to wear three layers of armor and lead fifty personal guards to help Cao Cao. Wen Zhao breaks the enemy's defense base!"
