Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 80 Li Cunxiao's Endless Run
His Majesty the Emperor attached great importance to Zhu Zhen, and Duan Kun could see it. He was worried about handing it over to others. This time, Yushan's personal guards and enemy divisions were all elite, so he led the team himself.

After leaving Guanzhong, the brigade was divided into three teams.

A team of 20 people led by his confidant Shen Cuntai, one person and three horses, traveled day and night to Sishui Pass. Zhu Zhen had to nail the nails first, so that they would not be taken away by Zhu Wen. After finishing, they retreated to Bianliang to meet Duan Kun.

A team of escorts, often serving Qian Zhong, also went to Sishuiguan to lobby Zhu Zhen, but there was no need to rush, and they walked at a normal speed.

And Duan Kun brought his own team, which was also the most difficult team. Their purpose was to rescue Zhu Zhen's family.

Kun Ke sowed a lot of "seeds" along this section of the road, trying to avoid pass crossings along the way, and leave supporters behind.

Along the way, it is natural to find out the way back, so naturally the speed cannot be increased. By the time of Bianliang, Shen Cuntai had been waiting for several days at the pick-up place.

Duan Kun asked: "Is the matter of Sishuiguan settled?"

Shen Cuntai said: "Return to Commander Duan, it has been done."

Shen Cuntai reported to Duan Kun one by one what happened along the way, and when he talked about the Cen's caravan, Duan Kun said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such a chance, if there is no Cen's caravan, this matter is really not easy to do." , then the manager is still in charge, with this matter in hand, it is not bad to force him to be an internal response."

Shen Cuntai replied: "I have already killed on the road. Dozens of brothers have lost their lives. I dare not take this risk."

Duan Kun didn't say much, and asked about Bianliang.

"It's not easy to sneak into Bianliang once. It's not easy to get in. All the people in Xuanwu have compiled a roster, especially Bianliang. Strangers have to report to the government and apply for a civilian card. It's very difficult for a large group of people to get in. There is also a body search, weapons are mostly inaccessible, and horses are also difficult to enter."

Duan Kun frowned slightly, and asked again: "Have you checked at Zhu Zhen's mansion."

Shen Cuntai nodded and said: "There are three hundred guards outside Zhu's mansion. People are not allowed to go out or enter. There is a city defense along the street with 500 people, and there is a barracks in the east with a thousand people."

Duan Kun thought about it, he only brought more than 300 horses, half of them scattered along the way, and taking more than 100 horses into the city to save people must have a slim chance, wasting the lives of all the paozes in vain.

"No rush, I just need to monitor the gates of the various cities."

……

Heyang Zhuwen Camp
Zhu Wen handed over forty heads of Li Tangbin's family to Zhu Zhen, and sent his confidantes to tell them that Li Tangbin should be punished for his crimes, and Zhu Zhen made a decisive decision and made a meritorious deed. Suddenly, not pursued.

But even so, Zhu Wen did not see Zhu Zhen leading his troops back to the army.

On the contrary, Zhu Zhen sent someone to send a letter, saying that Sishui Pass is a military important place, and it cannot be guarded by non-generals, and Zhu Zhen is willing to guard this majestic pass for Zhu Wen.

Those who went to inquire again reported that Zhu Zhen was making people repair the wall and move the crossbow to the wall.

What made Zhu Wen even more worried was that the sentry sent to Zhaoyi reported that Li Keyong's army was heading south.

Originally controlled the ferry of the Yellow River and took down the Sishui Pass. As long as Heyang is captured, he will be invincible.

Who knew what happened to Zhu Zhen.

"Shi Huanquan, the capital of tigers and leopards in Zuoyamen, has the head!"

"The end is here!"

"Send Zhu Zhen's whole family, young and old, to the camp."

"promise!"

Just as Shi Huanquan was about to check out, Zhu Wen stopped him again.

"What else does Jie Shuai want?"

"Treat him with courtesy along the way, don't neglect!"

"promise!"

After Zhu Wen arranged the matter, he raised the account and called all the soldiers to discuss the matter.

After a while, all the armies will enter the big account.

Zhu Wen saw that the people were in order, and said: "All the soldiers listen to the order and start attacking the city immediately. All armies should fight bravely to be the first. Today, I am going to capture this city."

All the soldiers shouted: "No!"

In Heyang City, all armies fought bravely to be the first, besieging the city on all sides without leaving a gap.

Zhu Wen's mind is very clear, not only to get Heyang City, but also to destroy Li Cunxiao to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Li Cunxiao is naturally aware of this.

Heyang City lacks troops, and half of them are newly recruited soldiers from Heyang. Not to mention that these soldiers are not strong enough to fight, and if they are not united with the soldiers of Hedong, they are not willing to give in.

Zhu Wen besieged the city for several days, and the hearts of the soldiers in Heyang were fluctuating. If Li Cunxiao hadn't suppressed them tightly and killed a group of generals who were both positive and negative, there might be a mutiny on the spot.

But even so, each of the Heyang soldiers was still a laborer, hiding under the wall piles one by one, avoiding the huge stones and fireballs thrown by arrows and catapults.

"General, reward the soldiers with money immediately, otherwise there will be changes."

Li Cunxiao shook his head: "Money, food and grass are ordered by the commander-in-chief, so don't touch them lightly."

The subordinate shook his head and had nothing to say.

Wang Qichang, the capital of the left army, said: "Without money, there is no way to motivate morale. The bandits attack the city day by day, and they will be destroyed after a long time."

Li Cunxiao was furious: "Why did you disturb our army's morale? This general will make his own decision."

Li Cunxiao dispatched the original Li Han's infantry to supervise the battle on the city walls, but still felt insufficient, and dismounted 2000 soldiers from Hedong, and a team of 500 men went to the city towers to supervise the battle.

In the southern city of Heyang, Zhu Wenjianrui's battalion attacked the city tower, and a dozen people quickly formed a formation to cover the pawns who ascended the city behind.

The Bian army was brave enough to die, and more than a dozen people killed more than [-] Heyang soldiers on the tower, and a steady stream of Bian soldiers climbed up the city wall. The Heyang soldiers were eager to retreat, but were stopped by the Hedong soldiers.

Heyang soldiers were sandwiched between the Bian Army and the Hedong Army, and both sides massacred Heyang soldiers.

"We, the disciples of Heyang, will die if we advance or retreat today, why not head to Bianjun, Bianjun is benevolent and righteous, and will not criticize us, kill!"

"kill!"

All the officers and men in Heyang thought it was true. Facing the side of the Bian army, they hurriedly raised their weapons and surrendered, while those on the side of the Hedong army turned their former hatred and new hatred into blades and fell on the heads of the Hedong army. pause.

"South City has fallen!"

Li Cunxiao's face changed when he heard about it, and he hurriedly assembled troops to reinforce Nancheng, but at this time the Bian Army had already controlled the South Gate tower and opened the South Gate gate.

The Bian army poured into Heyang City one after another like a flood, and when Li Cunxiao rushed to Nancheng, he didn't know how many Bian troops had already entered the city.

General Wen Guanyun said: "General, the general situation is over, let's lead the army to break through!"

"You can get money and food in the city!"

"Hey!"

At this time, I was still thinking about money and food, and my life was almost lost.

"General, quickly burn the money and food, and don't keep it to help the enemy."

Li Cunxiao nodded helplessly, knowing that it was impossible to take the money and food out of Heyang, he led his troops to the warehouse, and made people pour the fire with fuel, and a big fire ignited.

Even if the Bian army entered the city, Li Cunxiao didn't panic at all.

"General, the east, west, and north gates have fallen one after another!"

"Where are the most people!"

"The south gate that was broken first."

"Okay, then go to the south gate."

Li Cunxiao sits on a lance with heavy armor and a bow, and two servants lead two horses to accompany him on the left and right. Li Cunxiao has five horses, all of which are heavily armored, and holds a black iron heavy lance in his hand.

"kill!"
