Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 679 The trapped beast still fights

In He Renlong's opinion, he was in a situation where he was besieged on all sides, and he fought to the death with the thieves, so he was worthy of the official salary. Now that we are fighting hard and unable to win, surrendering to the thieves as a last resort is not considered a breach of integrity.

But for the rebel army, the surrender of He Renlong's tribe greatly eased the pressure on the rebel army's strength.

Originally, Zhang Shun's 20,000 troops faced off against Hong Chengchou's 30,000 elite troops. Although he had a slight upper hand on the surface, he actually caught the officers and soldiers off guard.

If the officers and soldiers regain their footing and reorganize their formation, the rebels will also risk being defeated by the officers and soldiers.

Although Xiao Qinhu's Tiger Battalion and Gao Yigong's Gao Battalion drove away the defeated troops and beat up the drowned dogs.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, and Chai Shihua, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Province, fled in panic and fled to the camp of Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of the Lintao army.

Zuo Guangxian's formation was intact, and he was quite rigorous in running the army. Therefore, after the defeat of the Chinese army and the Biao camp, Zuo Guangxian quickly ordered his soldiers to stabilize their formation and kill anyone who rushed into the formation. At the same time, he quickly brought Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, and Chai Shihua, the chief military officer of Gansu, into the formation.

The arrival of Hong Chengchou, the governor-general of the five provinces, and Chai Shihua, the chief military officer of Gansu Province, calmed down the soldiers who were anxious.

In any case, the governor is still there, and this battle has not reached the end yet.

While fighting and retreating, Zuo Guangxian suggested to Hong Chengchou: "Supervisor, don't be discouraged. Although this battle is unfavorable, it's just luck."

"What we can do now is just to stick to the second strategy. Please ask the supervisor to make a decision as soon as possible."

"What do you mean by the two strategies of walking and guarding?" Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, felt like a mirror, but he still refused to speak first.

Zuo Guangxian had no choice but to respond: "Now the pontoon bridge behind my camp is really the one I built a few days ago. If Governor Hong cherishes his life, he can walk on his own, and I can cut off the rear for him. This is the best strategy; if Governor Hong cherishes his life, he can walk on his own. The division and General Chai's soldiers gathered up the defeated soldiers, fought and marched, and when they reached our army's camp, they could also defend it."

"I think that although the thieves have many soldiers and horses, they are actually unable to attack, and their strength is still inferior to our army. The defeat of this battle was due to being caught off guard. If our army defends with the camp and stabilizes its footing. When the enemy is tired, it may not be impossible to counterattack. .”

"At that time, the host and guest of both sides will change positions, and the offense and defense will change. The victory or defeat is still unknown!"

Although Zuo Guangxian's words were a bit rude, they were still the right strategy to deal with the current situation.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, thought about it for a long time after hearing the words, and couldn't help but ordered: "What General Zuo said is true. Although this battle is defeated, the fault is not mine. Since the officers and soldiers are still strong, we can still have the strength to fight."

"Please also ask General Zuo to form a formation and stabilize the formation for the time being. General Chai and I will collect the broken troops and then retreat to the camp to hold on."

Escape is impossible. Hong Chengchou, the governor of these five provinces, came from a humble background, but he climbed to such a high position with great difficulty and enjoyed endless glory and wealth.

If he ran away, not only would his wealth and wealth be lost, but his life and property would also be at risk. How could Hong Chengchou be willing to do so?

Zuo Guang received the order first, quickly arranged the defense matters himself, and personally led 500 soldiers as a surprise force.

Not long after, Xiao Qinhu and Gao Yigong drove off the defeated troops and charged forward. The Menghuying in the hands of Xiao Qinhu can be regarded as the elite of the Shunying, and the Gaoying under Gao Yigong is also the capital of the "Chuang King" Gao Yingxiang to become the general manager, and they are both quite capable.

The two battalions of men and horses, one on the left and one on the right, began to attack Zuo Guang's front.

Zuo Guangxian was not afraid and accepted the challenge calmly. The two battalions of the rebel army totaled more than 6,000 people. Zuo Guangxian also had 5,000 troops. The numbers of the two sides were about the same, and their strength was about the same. It was hard to tell them apart for a while.

Although Wang Shaoyu, the commander-in-chief of Henan Province, also led 5,000 troops, he only dared to cheer from a distance. Seeing that the officers and soldiers did not come to drive them away, he finally found the courage to send some small teams from time to time to sneak around the officers and soldiers under the cover of night.

For a moment, he didn't know how many rebels were present, and Zuo Guangxian didn't know the details, so he had no choice but to fight and retreat, all the way back to the officers and soldiers camp.

But at this time, He Renlong's surrender finally freed up Cao Wen's imperial edict and Li Xin's "Troubled Times Camp".

Originally, Li Xin wanted to discuss with Cao Wenzhao who of the two battalions would stay to look after the He Renlong tribe, and who would go to help Xiao Qinhu and others.

As a result, the horse archer Li Fuguo stared at He Renlong with his gun and refused to leave. He muttered: "I captured this guy. He is my prisoner. No one should try to take him away."

Li Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, and quickly advised: "I already know it. I will just ask for credit for you later. Why should I keep guard on this person?"

"No, what if you default on the debt then?" Li Fuguo looked at Li Xin suspiciously and said plausibly, "There are too many generals who are greedy for the merits of our small soldiers. If I let go now, King Shun will say it to his face. It’s unclear.”

"How are you doing?" Li Xin asked helplessly.

"Uh." The guy hesitated for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he thought of an idea and said, "Your surname is Li, and my surname is Li too. Why don't I recognize you as a foster father and save you the trouble of changing your surname!"

Li Xin was only in his twenties. Not to mention young, he already had children. How could he respond to him?

What's more, he had served as the supervisor of the Golden Drum Guard, which investigated military intelligence, so he could guess some of Zhang Shun's thoughts.

As a minister, it must be quite taboo for him to do things like sworn brothers, adopted sons and adopted fathers in private.

He shook his head and said with a smile: "I believe that my subordinates are highly skilled in martial arts and are not people who have been inferior to others for a long time. If you make great achievements in the future and your official position is higher than mine, wouldn't it be an insult to your status?"

What did Li Fuchen, a half-grown child, know? How could he know that Li Xin was politely rejecting him?

He only knew that he was really capable, and he couldn't help but nodded proudly and said: "That's true, that's all. I'd better ask the general to help me with my case, and reward me with more silver."

He Renlong was already quite angry that this guy had interfered with "good things", and he became even more angry when he saw that this guy regarded him as a "prisoner".

He couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Which one is your prisoner? I am willing to surrender because I admire King Shun's kindness and do not want to cause more killings. If not, what can you do with just a baby?"

"Oh, you're still not convinced?" Li Fuguo, "Ma Yaozi," couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. He shook the spear in his hand and said, "How about we practice again?"

"Practice, just practice!" Upon hearing this, He Renlong grabbed the spear at hand and started to fight with Li Fuguo.

It turns out that although Li Fuguo, the "horse kite", was proficient in bow and horse and had superb martial arts, he was still young and weak and never reached his peak. He Renlong was also one of the best brave generals, so naturally he was quite unconvinced by his abilities.

Li Xin was about to say a few words of persuasion, but unexpectedly, a sentence came like thunder from a distance: "He Renlong, as a defeated general, what else do you have to say?"
