Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 676 Night battle in all directions

Let's say that Jiang He led the sword and shield soldiers in close combat with the officers and soldiers. Due to the poor visibility in the field, the officers and soldiers could not fight in formation and had to fight in a melee.

The sword and shield soldiers were already quite good at catching and fighting each other, but the officers and soldiers could not use their spears and halberds, so they were beaten back by the rebels for a while.

Zhang Shun looked at the city for a while, couldn't help but shook his head, and hurriedly ordered Ding Zhuang in the city to find some firewood and rags, make a ball, dip it in oil, light it and throw it down.

These burning objects do no harm, but once they are contaminated by the wooden boards, tents and other objects behind the fortress, they will burn.

The burning didn't matter, it immediately illuminated the fortress under the city. The city's artillerymen, who were originally afraid of accidentally injuring one of their own, stopped shelling when Jiang He came into close contact with the officers and soldiers.

It was like daylight below the city. How could the artillerymen on the city not know Zhang Shun's intentions? He quickly pushed out the already loaded artillery and attacked the officers and soldiers below the city.

The officers and soldiers were attacked from both sides, how could they withstand them? The people on the left and right couldn't help but tugged on Wang Chengen's clothes and cried loudly: "The commander-in-chief quickly ordered a retreat. If it's too late, we will all be dead!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chengen turned his head to the west and looked at the main force of the retreating officers and soldiers. He couldn't help but throw his long sword to the ground and cursed: "Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. Since we are officers and soldiers, we will die or not! Now!" The army has not completely retreated, and anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, so they had no choice but to grab their weapons and bravely faced Jiang He's sword and shield soldiers. Encouraged by Wang Cheng'en, the battle became inextricable for a while. Zhang Shundu could not leave the camp in a hurry, so he quickly ordered the Yulin camp to cover the area, while the remaining officers and soldiers attacked Hong Chengchou's retreating army.

In addition to the 5,000 men of Deputy General Ai Wannian who attacked the east gate, the 5,000 men of Bai Guangen who stayed at the camp, and the 5,000 men of Wang Chengen's department who defended the rebel camp, Hong Chengchou still had 20,000 troops at the west gate of Luoyang City.

How can it be accomplished in a short time with 20,000 troops in action? What's more, when officers and soldiers are attacked, people are panicked, and people are panicking everywhere. It would be good if they don't cause chaos to each other.

Hong Chengchou had no choice but to line up the army, with Zuo Guangxian at the head, Chai Shihua at the waist, and He Renlong at the tail, forming a long snake formation and fleeing northward along the river.

The rebels once again formed a prismatic formation to kill. The leader is the Tiger Battalion under Xiao Qinhu, the "Chaos Battalion" led by Li Xin is on the left, and the "Gao Battalion" led by Gao Yifeng is on the right. Henan Commander-in-Chief Wang Shaoyu led his guardsmen to cheer from behind. .

Do you know how Hong Chengchou saw that the rebel army had 30,000 to 40,000 troops? It turned out that one thing relied on the rebels to display more flags and light more torches; the other thing relied on Wang Shaoyu leading four to five thousand guardsmen from behind to make up for the numbers and make a big show of it.

Under the cover of night, Zhang Shun used the momentum of thirty to forty thousand men to over 10,000 men and horses.

And Hong Chengchou fell into the trap several times, like a frightened bird, how could he investigate carefully? All I know is that if we are not with us now, the geographical advantage is not with us, and the people and people are not with us, then the whole army will be wiped out later, and we will have to flee in a hurry.

It didn't matter that he escaped, he happened to be hit by the Tiger Battalion led by Xiao Qinhu, who hit Chai Shihua in the "waist".

Although Chai Shihua, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Province, is also known as brave, he is not as good as Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province, and He Renlong, the general.

As Zhang Shunyi's brother, Xiao Qinhu is as good as a wolf and a tiger, and his "Haierying" is even more carefully selected and the most elite.

His pounce didn't matter, it was just like a tiger pounce on food, hitting the vital points of the officers and soldiers.

In the past, Chai Shihua, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Province, could still compete with Xiao Qinhu's Tiger Battalion. But now the whole army surges forward and rushes away in a hurry. When the soldiers are roaring and the grass and trees are in uniform, how can he be Xiao Qinhu's opponent?

For a time, Gansu's troops were completely defeated. Many desperate people jumped directly into the Jianhe River, not daring to meet the enemy.

Hong Chengchou couldn't help being shocked when he saw it, and quickly led the Biao battalion to fight against Xiao Qinhu. Ren Jirong, through some firelight, could vaguely see the Chinese flags of the officers and soldiers, and couldn't help shouting: "Come with me, children, Hong Chengchou is here!"

The "Child Camp" under Ren Jirong couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, and shouted: "Hong Chengchou is still here, die quickly!" Their morale was greatly boosted, and they rushed towards Hong Chengchou's army without fear of death.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, couldn't help but feel shocked and a little afraid.

As the saying goes: People are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death! As the governor, Hong Chengchou's men strangled not only 8,000 rebels, but also 10,000. Although the people in the past were brave and brave, they were still struggling to their death.

But he never expected that now he would encounter someone who was not afraid of death, and he would feel a little timid in his heart. Because this time, he had a vague feeling that the outcome of the officers and soldiers was not good.

In spite of his courage in fighting, how could Hong Chengchou, who was born as a civil servant, fight to the death like those low-life ordinary people at the critical moment?

Hong Chengchou felt a little timid, so he ordered Biaoying to retreat northward along the river. It didn't matter that he retreated. Both Xiao Qinhu and Ren Jirong looked at the strength of the officers and soldiers, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "The officers and soldiers are defeated, Hong Chengchou is gone!"

The Gansu soldiers under Chai Shihua's command had already been defeated, but he managed to gather some of them together. Hearing this, they couldn't help but be frightened, and turned around and fled north.

It didn't matter that the Gansu soldiers fled, they immediately rushed towards Hong Chengchou's pacesetter camp like a flood.

Hong Chengchou was caught off guard, and the troops under his command were suddenly routed and their formation was disrupted. Xiao Qinhu and Ren Jirong took the opportunity to cover up the killing.

Hong Chengchou quickly commanded the pacesetter battalion to resist. However, even though he had thousands of strategies and methods in his mind, it was still difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

The Model Camp, which was already riddled with holes, was easily cut into two parts by Xiao Qinhu using the "Children's Camp" as a sharp edge.

When Hong Chengchou saw that something was wrong, he quickly turned around and left with guards on the left and right. As the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, it didn't matter if he left. Immediately, the morale of the officers and soldiers plummeted, and the entire army collapsed.

Li Xin and Gao Yigong, who are following around the Tiger Camp, are so cheap and profitable, how can they let them go? Immediately, they also chased after him and beat the drowned dog hard.

Cao Wenzhao's troops at the west gate of Luoyang City were originally prepared to prevent Hong Chengchou and others from jumping over the wall in a hurry, so they stayed on the city to defend for the time being. How could they still defend the city when they saw that the army was completely defeated by the officers and soldiers?

So, under the leadership of Cao Wenzhao, he quickly opened the city gate and attacked the He Renlong tribe at the rear of the officers and soldiers.

When He Renlong saw that the way forward was cut off, and Cao Wenzhao was attacking him in the rear, and he was unable to win, he quickly shouted: "Where is General Cao? I have always respected your bravery, can you tell me about it?"

Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, and thought to himself: This He Renlong is brave in battle, and is also known as "He Madman". If he is willing to be used by me, it will be a great achievement.

He quickly smiled and said: "Cao Wenzhao is here, what do you have to say?"

He Renlong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and led more than a hundred cavalry to rush over, shouting: "Cao Wenzhao, accept your fate!"
