Chapter 276 Chengbing King Mandu
I remembered the situation where Duan Mingyu and Cheng Zhiyuan were in a hurry to escape from Bianliang and settled in Songzhou. Now he has tens of thousands of troops and returns strongly. Looking at the Bianliang city looming in the distance, Duan Mingyu straightened his waist on the back of the horse. He couldn't help but shouted to the sky and said a bloody line: "I'm back..."
Li Keyong arrived in Bianzhou five days earlier than Duan Mingyu. When Li Keyong drove to Bianliang City with a 100,000 army, Bianliang City had been surrounded by Huang Chao and Qin Zongquan's 200,000 army. Huang Chao had been attacking Bianliang City for half a month. The casualties were quite heavy. Zhu Wen, who was the guard of the city, was not much better. Both sides had already exhaled a lot of anger in half a month.
When Li Keyong's army appeared, Huang Chao was like a frightened bird, afraid of the tragedy of surrounding Chenzhou City. He directly led the army to retreat to the ferry of King Bianhe. Huang Chao was preparing to set up a camp on the river, encourage the morale of the army, and fight to the death. Of course, the battle to the death here is for the lower-level soldiers of the puppet Qi army. It would not be their turn to fight on the battlefield when they were in a life or death juncture.
When Duan Mingyu arrived at the Bian River, Huang Chao was preparing to cross the river. The loud drums rang out in the long march. The puppet Qi army was walking in a mess. It took too long to cross the Bian River. The troops of Zhu Wen's troops seemed to have really exhausted the soldiers and their morale was already depressed. They no longer had the will and ability to take the initiative to attack. Otherwise, attacking them while crossing the river would be enough to cause chaos in the puppet Qi army.
After most of the main combat soldiers of the puppet Qi army crossed the river, generals at all levels were ordered by the Emperor Huang Chao of Qi to urge the army to extend. Marching at night at the enemy was a taboo. Under the orders of the generals who were responsible for commanding the front army, the whistle was protruding forward. The whole army camped on the spot to rest. With the sound of the golden drums, a group of soldiers advancing along the road were separated to both sides. The back was moving in a steady stream. The troops in the front extended further and further to the wings at the same time.
After crossing the Bian River, it is already a flat horse. It doesn’t take too much effort to choose the terrain to camp. It is just to disperse the team according to the camp. When the two wings spread far enough, the camping order has been passed down.
The main force of the puppet Qi army crossing the river was already set up a huge square formation not far from Bianliang City. With the army led by each general of the puppet Qi army, they set up camps separately. The auxiliary soldiers behind them did not follow up. They had to do all the camping work by themselves. Digging trenches, blocking trees, cutting down trees as deer villages. The soldiers were exhausted and had to do these chores. Everyone was scolding Liantian. And the hard work was not the end. The soldiers had to carry armor and weapons. There were fewer dry food and tents they could carry.
It's winter now. If there is no tent, it will be frozen to death. The tent carried by the front army of the puppet Qi army can almost guarantee that it will reach the head of the city. Others have to dig the ground. Thinking of this, the scolding became even louder. But what can I do?
Huang Chao left the ferry far away to enjoy his happiness. Each of them was in charge of their own business. The order of crossing the river was already chaotic and the speed was not fast. He urged the auxiliary soldiers to follow the severity. Everything was gathered together. The two sides fought again.
Anyway, the Bian River is too close to Bianliang City. It only takes two days to delay the effort. The big-headed soldiers gritted their teeth and endured it. Therefore, the main force of the puppet Qi army's warriors crossed the river. They had to order the army to march forward without the baggage. They could only suffer enough of these hardships.
Among the puppet Qi army, Lin Yan has always been called a general. At this time, he rode on his horse, looked around the chaotic scene of camping in the fields, and watched the soldiers working there with energy and were as dark as iron. At this time, a personal guard came up and reported: "Sir, the central army tent has been set up. Thank you for your hard work for a day. Go down and rest sooner." Before he finished speaking, Lin Yan whipped the guard's helmet with a whip: "Soldiers are on the lieutenant. This master lie down first. What kind of looks is going on? Move the general's tent to the soldiers. Take out all yours. Tonight, I will have one left and one sleeping in the ground."
The guard was whipped and walked away with a grumbling heart. He felt very upset. The other generals led a army. Now they were not afraid that they would have rested comfortably long ago. Their guards also benefited from it. However, their generals acted like this. The puppet Qi army belonged to Huang Chao. Even if you are his nephew, this stall is not your Lin Yan. What are you doing so hard?
The major event has reached this point. The general under Huang Chao has withered. Lin Yan has been leaned as the help of Huang Chao. He can be regarded as the commander of the three armies. However, such a harsh action can only be controlled by his own army. Looking around, the red sun sets in the west and the shadow of the Bianliang city is also faintly.
The sentry has not yet received any reward. The surrounding camps are all slackened. The complaints of soldiers are grounded in the sky. The generals are like him. They can only sigh. The morale of the puppet Qi army has fallen sharply. It is no longer the style of the uprising force in the past. As a warrior, killing the enemy is considered duty. What is it now? To fight the Tang war. Can the puppet Qi army take this great contribution? It is still true that the puppet Qi army camped in an uncertain sky. The puppet Qi army set up camp, stirring up smoke and dust. The provocations stretched out gradually returned at this time. Teams of people came to Lin Yan to repay the military information.
Before Li Keyong's army lined up in Yanjing, he took the initiative to fight in a field in the city. Duan Mingyu was in the rear to prevent Qin Zongquan's Cai Zhou army and Huang Chao from attacking each other. However, Qin Zongquan and Huang Chao were not in a desperate situation. According to common sense, why wouldn't they come to this bad situation? Huang Chao has completely lost his control over Qin Zongquan.
