Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Marshal Xu Trapped in Niutang Feng Guoyong Rescued Xu Da

But it is said that Xu Da led his troops back to camp for thirty miles, and Zhang Jiuliu led his troops here.Xu Da fought and left. He was about to reach the mouth of Niutang Valley, and it was time to apply for a license.Seeing that Jiuliu was approaching, Xu Da turned around and said, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, you have to let go when you have to let go. Why are you chasing so hard?" Jiuliu opened his eyes, and the flying horse rushed up, Xu Da He galloped away again.The Jiuliu University shouted: "Xu Da, why don't you get off your horse and surrender?" Xu Da also responded, "Look at what it is that asks me to surrender." Just as he was speaking, he reached into his arms and pulled out a white belt With a flick, it happened to be a pair of white pigeons with bells, flying vigorously for half a day.That Zhang Jiuliu looked up to the sky, only to hear the sound of a cannon. Feng Guo on the left and Wang Yu on the right came out from both sides of the bank and cut the Jiuliu army into two places.When Xu Da saw that the ambush was coming out, he turned around and fought with all his strength.Jiuliu's body was shot several times, and he walked away in pain before falling down.After only half a mile, Wang Yu picked up his bow and set up an arrow, and shouted: "It's caught!" He hit Jiuliu's left eye, turned over and fell off the horse. Contribute in turn.Then he ordered Zhang Shide and Zhang Jiuliu to be imprisoned everywhere, and they were not allowed to be neglected; they were still ordered to move troops to garrison the old hall.That is to say, people were sent to Jiejinling.Taizu got the good news and said: "Shide is the master of Shicheng's planner, and the 96th is Shicheng's tooth general; now they are all captured, and Shicheng can be known." That is to say, Xu Da and others urged the troops to attack the city, and then Liao Yongzhong , Chang Yuchun attacked Chizhou, no problem.

But it is said that Zhang Hu and Lu Gong took the remnant soldiers and went into Niutang Valley to collect troops and lost 20,000 troops.Zhang Hu burst into tears and said: "Since the founding of the country, there has never been such a defeat. It is urgent to send someone to ask for help. When the soldiers come, we will be in charge of the district." Xingye wrote and played.Seeing his expression, Na Shicheng gritted his feet and said, "Gu and Zhu's family really don't share the same hatred. Qing and others who can avenge the lonely will be the kings of splitting the soil and sharing the wealth and honor." Only Shixin stepped forward. Said: "Both Xiangzhe and Xiangzhe relied on bravery and lack of strategy, so they were defeated. I would like to use all my strength to capture Xu Da and take Jinling, and take the grievance of Xue and Xue." Shicheng ordered his son Zhang Qiu to be the vanguard. , Shi Xin was the marshal, Lu Shengzu was the deputy general, Zhao Deshi was the commander of the five armies, and he commanded 100,000 troops to rescue Changzhou.Before leaving, Shicheng set up wine and preserved ancestors in the suburbs.Shicheng also said: "Gu and Qing and other three brothers revolted in Baijuchang. Today, no one dares to fight against Jiangnan. Now he gathers party members to occupy Jinling, invade Zhenjiang, trap Changzhou, kill My brother, this hatred hurts people's bones, you should use all your strength to eradicate this hatred." Shi Xin bowed his head and accepted the order.On that day, the soldiers left Suzhou and traveled twice the road, and within a day, they came to Niutang.Zhang Hu led his troops to meet him, saying that Zhu Bing was brave and wise.Shi Xin said, "It's nothing to worry about." He led troops to garrison Taniguchi.Riding on the horse, Shi Xin looked carefully around the valley mouth, and saw: the mountains on both sides are majestic, and there is a vast expanse of Pingyang.At the precipitous place, the old ape has long arms, and there is no way to climb it; between the streams and ravines, thousands of horses gallop together, and the bottom is unknown.There are chaotic rocks and rocks, and a stone sinus is suddenly exposed. It is often seen that the fog disappears and the clouds are lost;Eighty-nine miles deep and long, one side should not call the other; wide and thousands of steps, one side cannot see the other side.The sound of the wind blowing the grass, the treacherous mountains, this realm does not allow the gods to call for animals; the sound of the gurgling stream and the flowing water, the ghosts and ghosts on the ground can hide.There is only a beautiful sun in the sky, and you can see the brilliance for a while; if a rainy cloud falls to the ground, it seems to be in a coma for a long night.

After looking at it, Shi Xin said to Zhang Hu and Zhang Qiu, "Only this one place can capture Xu Da alive."Shi Xin led his troops to the boundary of Changzhou to confront Xu Da.Xu Da ordered Guo Ying and Zhang Desheng to lead 100,000 troops to trap Changzhou. He led 100,000 troops with Zhao Desheng, Yu Tonghai, Zhao Zhong, and Deng Qing to meet the enemy with Shixin.Na Shixin charged Xu Da with his horse and spear.Xu Da also raised his sword to meet him, and after more than ten battles, the winner was not determined.Lu Zusheng and Zhao Deshi in his battle came to attack; Zhao Desheng and Yu Tonghai in my battle just responded, killing Shixin and leaving in a big defeat.Xu Da led the crowd to fight for the first place, and all the troops also pursued and killed them.After chasing to Niutang Valley, when Fang arrived in the valley, Na Shixin launched an ambush to block the entrance of the east valley, Zhang Qiu resisted the entrance of the west valley, and arrows and rocks came like rain from the cliffs on both sides.Xu Da then ordered: "The three armies should not be disturbed. I deceived the enemy's tricks. You stay on guard for a while and plan another strategy." While meditating, I saw the report from the rear army: "Deng Qing took advantage of the victory to rob the grain and grass, Went to the Taoist letter." After hearing this, Xu Da was shocked and said: "Food and grass are the key to the life and death of soldiers and horses. This thief Deng Qing is always so vicious. He vowed to capture him in order to avenge his revenge." Counting some food and grass, It was still possible to support half a month, Xu Da said to the generals: "Within half a month, the rescuers will arrive, everyone should rest assured!" The letter cited the danger of flooding in Taihu Lake; secondly, based on this high hill, you can also visit the four mountains and walk in order to find a way out, no question.

But Guo Ying and Zhang Desheng found out that Xu Da was trapped, and they said: "If we withdraw our troops to rescue, Lu Zhen will follow behind; if the situation is not solved, we will be poisoned by it. We still have to be trapped tightly." Changzhou, to resist the attack of Zhang Qiu and Lu Zhen. In the starry night, send people to Jinling to ask for help; otherwise, Marshal Xu will run out of food and grass, and the fate of the three armies will be over." Because Zhang Tianyou was sent to hold the watch, he hurried to Jinling help.The Taizu was shocked, and met Chang Yuchun, Liao Yongzhong and others who took Chizhou, left Zhao De to guard it, and led the Holy Army to come.Taizu was delighted to see his eyebrows, and said: "General Chang is back, and Marshal Xu is safe!" That is to say, Yuchun was the marshal and Wu Liang was the vanguard, leading 50,000 troops to the south to rescue Xigukou; The vanguard, leading 50,000 troops, went north to rescue Donggukou. Today, he marched concurrently, and arrived in Changzhou in two days.Joining forces with Guo Ying and Zhang Desheng, Yuchun prepared to ask for news.Guo Ying then said: "Marshal Xu has been trapped for 19 days. The day before yesterday Zhang Qiu led troops to defend Changzhou, and I stayed with him for several days. He made a secret appointment with Lu Zhen in the city, came to rob the stronghold at night, and attacked from inside and outside. , because the troops are retreating here." Yuchun said: "In this case, we must first save Niutanggu, and then attack Changzhou." He ordered the soldiers to go straight to Xigukou and set up camp.That is to say, Guo Ying and Zhang Desheng led the troops to search the valley first and then lay in ambush. When our army is fighting, they will go to Zhang Qiu's village and burn the supplies, food and grass with fire.

But when Zhang Qiu saw that Changzhou was in trouble, he still ordered Lu Zhen to guard the city, and the returned soldiers and Zhang Hu guarded Taniguchi.Hearing that Chang Yuchun came to rescue him, he said to Zhang Hu, "Brother, you can guard the Taniguchi, and Deng Qing and I will lead our troops to meet the enemy." I'll lead troops to rescue them, but if they all go, I'm afraid I'll be discouraged." Zhang Hu had no choice but to agree.Zhang Qiu then led the troops out of the camp, facing Yuchun.The two fought for forty or fifty rounds, but Guo Ying and Zhang Desheng launched an ambush, cutting off the food and grass behind him.Zhang Hu was just about to come to the battle, but was stabbed to death by Guo Ying, and the soldiers guarding him broke down.At that time, Zhang Qiu was holding a stalemate with Yuchun, and only heard the report from the rear army that Zhu Bing burned his luggage and killed Zhang Hu. He was in a panic and wanted to escape. Running in pain.Wu Bing killed countless people.In the valley, Xu Da heard the murderous aura of gongs and drums vibrating outside, and knew that the rescue soldiers had arrived, so he led them out again.Xu Da met Yuchun and thanked him deeply for his escape.Yuchun said: "With the marshal's virtuous weapon, the sky will protect you, and you will never fall into the hands of thieves. Kuang lord, the destiny is here, and you and I are both the court's share." At that time, Tang He also defeated Shi Xin's soldiers. , Turn back to meet at Donggukou.Hu Dahai, Wu Liang, Wu Zhen, Geng Bingwen, Yu Tonghai, Zhao Desheng, Ding Dexing, Zhao Zhong, Zhang Desheng and other generals all led their troops to gather, but Guo Ying was not there, and Xu Da became worried in every possible way.I don't know what will happen next, let's see the next chapter.
