Chapter 184 Chapter 11 Beacon Fire Yangzhou Road

Part Six Forever and Ever Huaidong General Luo Mou sent a school lieutenant, Sun Ding, to lead an army of 5,000 to aid Sikou. When Sun Ding's army arrived, Sikou was already trapped. At that time, the main force of the Yong army had not arrived, so Ding raised troops to attack it, but failed. The Yong army had arrived, and Sikou became the Yong army. Sun Ding was besieged and besieged, and all the soldiers begged to surrender. Sun Ding could not stop him, and the Yong army captured him. ——"Zi Zhi Tong Jian".Yongji III In the Chuzhou camp, Luo Louzhen was sitting in the big tent, frowning. It took him a whole morning to barely complete the preparations for the Chuzhou camp, which made him even more worried. In three to five days, I can make preparations, but I don't know when the Yong army will arrive. It's best for Shang Xiang and General Lu to be unfounded.But if you think about it carefully, Huaidong is an important place. When the Yong army attacked Huainan, they either took Huaixi Shouchun or Yangzhou in Huaidong. If they wanted to take Yangzhou, Chuzhou, Sizhou, and Guangling were the places that the Yong army must seize. If Yong Jun intends to take Huaidong, he will be the first to bear the brunt.

Luo Louzhen glanced at Huang Canjun, and asked impatiently, "How is it? Has the envoy sent to Sizhou and Guangling come back?" Huang Canjun looked anxious and said: "I haven't come back yet, but the distance between the two places is quite far. I come back and forth, and I will not come back until night." Luo Louzhen said angrily: "It's all trash. General Lu's messenger can go from Jiangxia to Chuzhou in a few days. Sizhou and Guangling, which are close by, will take so much time. There is also Sun Ding." , I asked him to go to Sikou to take over the defense, why hasn’t he sent a messenger back to report the situation for so long.”

Seeing him bursting into anger, Huang Canjun said nervously, "Maybe it's because the military is busy, and there must be news in the afternoon." Luo Lou felt relieved in his heart, and said: "Pass down the order, let Vice General Zhou and other generals not slack off, if there is something wrong in Chuzhou, my life will not be saved, so don't think about it." Huang Canjun shuddered, and said, "General, should you inform the governor of Chuzhou that there are still 5,000 defenders there. Although the combat power is not strong, it is good to be prepared."

Luo Louzhen frowned. He didn't get along with the governor of Chuzhou, just because the governor was a child of the Southern Chu family, and his foundation was still shallow, so he didn't want to offend him. camp, if the Yong army came to attack, and he couldn't defend the camp, he could only retreat into Chuzhou to defend the city. If he didn't say hello now, he might not even have a way out. After thinking for a moment, he sneered and said : "Send someone to inform Gu Yuanyong, and tell him to close the city immediately to wait for the enemy." Huang Canjun quickly agreed that Luo Louzhen and Gu Yuanyong were at odds, mainly because the sergeants of the Chuzhou camp Because of Chuzhou's misbehavior and Luo Louzhen's lack of restraint, but because Luo Louzhen's background is too big, Gu Yuanyong had no choice but to try to please him. Although Luo Lou really didn't appreciate it, Huang Canjun and others People are also very popular, so they naturally have a good impression of Gu Yuanyong, so Huang Canjun will find a way to notify Chuzhou's military situation in time.

Huang Canjun had just left when the guards came in to report: "General Qi, Lieutenant Sun's guards are back." Luo Louzhen was overjoyed and said, "Let him in quickly." Not long after, two sergeants walked in. Luo Lou really recognized the man in front. He was Sun Fang, a member of Sun Ding's clan, and now he is the leader of Sun Ding's personal army. He dared to raise his head, obviously out of fear, Luo Louzhen only thought that the man was also Sun Ding's soldier, so he ignored him, and asked Sun Fang, "Lieutenant Sun has arrived at Sikou, how is the situation, is there any movement from the Yong army?"

Sun Fang looked a little nervous, and said: "General, the Colonel ordered me to report back. The Yong army has not moved yet, but the Colonel has sent scouts up the river to find out the military situation. If there is any news, he will definitely report it to the camp. .” Luo Lou felt relieved, looked at the person beside Sun Fang and said, "Who is this person, why did you bring him into account?" Sun Fang said with some panic: "He is one of the best masters in our battalion. The captain was worried that the scouts of the Yong army had sneaked into Huaisi, so he ordered him to come with his subordinates."

Luo Louzhen smiled and said: "It should be so. Captain Sun is really careful. What's your name? Since Sun Ding said that you are good at martial arts, you must be a warrior who is one in a thousand. Why are you as timid as a woman? Come here." , give him a bottle of wine, don't be so nervous, this general is not a murderer." The sergeant seemed to feel relieved when he heard the words, his body relaxed a lot, he raised his head, took the wine cup with both hands, stepped forward and said: "Thank you, General, for giving me the wine." After finishing speaking, he drank it down.

Luo Louzhen took a closer look, and saw that the sergeant looked to be twenty-eight or nine years old, with sharp edges and corners, a handsome and heroic face, a calm and indifferent expression, a straight figure like a poplar, and a cold light flashed between his eyes .Luo Lou was really shocked, this kind of bearing, even the general Lu Can was no more than that, if he had seen this person before, how could he not have the slightest impression, he stood up, and said loudly: "You are definitely not Chuzhou University Soldiers of the camp, who are you?" Following his shout, his personal soldiers rushed in outside the tent, protecting Luo Louzhen.

Luo Lou really wanted to make people take down Sun Fang and the sergeant. At this moment, there was a commotion outside the tent, and the voice became louder. A scout covered in blood stumbled in, fell to the ground, and said hoarsely: " General, it’s not good, the Yong army has captured Sikou, and the striker has already come to the camp.” Luo Louzhen raised his head, his face was full of despair, he looked at Sun Fang and the sergeant fiercely, and said angrily: "The two of you must be spies of the Yong Army, come here and kill them for me." Sun Fang was already scared out of his wits, but the sergeant's expression did not change, he smiled lightly and said: "General Luo, Pei Yun, the governor of Huainan, is here to pay his respects to the general." Everyone in the tent felt their ears ringing, this How could it be possible, how could Pei Yun, general of the Yong army, who commanded an army of 150,000 troops in the Xuzhou camp, appear here.Even Sun Fang, who came in with Pei Yun, was fighting with his upper and lower teeth. After he was captured and surrendered, he was ordered to bring this man into the Chuzhou Camp. He always thought that this man was a master of the White Clothes Camp, but he didn't know it was Pei Yun himself. After all, Pei Yun was already thirty-five or sixteen years old, how could he look so young, no wonder no one could think of the identity of this sergeant.At this moment, Pei Yun's life experience emerged in everyone's minds. He was a Shaolin apprentice with profound martial arts skills. He once heard that the Buddhist mind method has the benefits of self-cultivation, but now it seems to be true.

Just when everyone's hearts were shaken, Pei Yun's body flickered, and he had already rushed towards Luo Louzhen. Luo Louzhen also had a murderous thought in his heart. If he was captured alive, the Yong army might be in chaos. The credit is not small.He sternly said: "Don't shoot arrows, capture this person for me." He didn't allow his subordinates to shoot arrows, because he was worried that if he killed Pei Yun, angered Yong Jun, and wreaked havoc in Huaidong, he would still be responsible. It may even bury his own direct army. Just before he finished speaking, there was a scream in the tent, and dozens of personal guards who rushed forward rolled into one place. Pei Yun's hands were faintly golden, and his invincible vajra power was already perfected. In the blink of an eye, he has broken through the guards and arrived in front of Luo Louzhen.Luo Louzhen drew his sword and stabbed, the sound of wind and thunder was loud, ordinary people would have to dodge first, but Pei Yun waved his palm to meet, the sword and palm intersected, but there was a sound of gold and stone, Luo Louzhen was caught by his palm force Shocked, he took a step back, at this time, Pei Yun slapped him again, this palm was overwhelming, and Luo Louzhen was forced to take another step back.The palm wind was violent, and the strong wind howled in the big tent, Pei Yun just slowly and calmly pushed towards Luo Louzhen step by step, but the ordinary set of Shaolin boxing in his hands was powerful and majestic.Those personal guards couldn't even intervene, let alone besiege Pei Yun.Luo Louzhen's swordsmanship was originally quite outstanding, but his internal strength was greatly affected by his indulgence in wine and sex. Seeing Pei Yun approaching step by step, he couldn't even fight back with a sword. He wanted to call loudly to his guards to release Arrow, but he was worried about implicating himself, and he didn't have the strength to speak out. At this moment, although the Chuzhou camp had an army of 30,000, Luo Louzhen felt that he was alone.

"Bang", Luo Louzhen's back hit the back wall of the tent. At this time, the soldiers of the first battalion had already rushed to the door of the big tent. Huang Canjun sternly said, "Shoot him to death, don't hurt the general." Luo Lou was really overjoyed, with a ferocious smile on his face, as long as he resisted a few more moves, he could turn defeat into victory. He didn't believe that flesh and blood could resist the shooting of bows and arrows. Just escape from the camp, and Huang Canjun must have arranged for it later.At this moment, Luo Louzhen saw a trace of sarcasm on Pei Yun's indifferent face, and his heart turned. Luo Louzhen swung his sword suddenly and slashed at Pei Yun. The sword qi was destructive, a glint of admiration flashed in Pei Yun's eyes, he drew his sword out of its sheath to meet him, the swords clashed, the sword chanted and the sword sang, Luo Louzhen's body inevitably hit the camp wall again.At this moment, a long knife broke through the wall, just piercing Luo Louzhen's body, blood splashed, Luo Louzhen uttered an earth-shattering scream, Pei Yun had already been chopped off, and Luo Louzhen's head flew away rise. Huang Canjun's voice was full of tears, and he shouted: "Release the arrow immediately." Seeing the tragic death of the general, those sergeants were already terrified. When they heard Huang Canjun's order, they all subconsciously drew their bows and fired arrows, but their minds were confused. Fang was still caught by the fish in the pond, and died of several arrows in his body.Pei Yun kicked away Luo Louzhen's body, took his head, and swung his knife away. The camp was divided in the middle, and a Southern Chu sergeant with a long knife was exposed in the gap. The ground was full of corpses, which was arranged by Huang Canjun. Meet the sergeant.Pei Yun broke out of the tent, and the second round of arrows came after him.But the sergeant turned into a Changhong sword and blocked all the arrows. By the time the third round of arrows was shot, Pei Yun and the sergeant had already rushed more than ten feet away and entered the Nanchu barracks.Two people shouted loudly from the camp: "Luo Louzhen is dead, Luo Louzhen is dead." The camp was in chaos. I don't know how many people ran in a panic and screamed. There were also shouts and reprimands from the generals who tried their best to restrain their subordinates.At this moment, the horns of the four fields sounded, and the drums burst into bursts, and the Southern Chu army shouted loudly: "It's not good, the Yong army is here." It was explained that it was a cavalry.Huang Canjun looked back, and saw at the gate, the iron cavalry of the Yong army in blue and black armor poured into the Chuzhou camp like a tide, and the chaotic Southern Chu soldiers were trampled under the iron hooves of the Yong army. They are all three feet and two inches long and need to be held with both hands. A single cut can cut a person in two. They rushed left and right in the camp, invincible. How to resist such an army, almost all the soldiers of Southern Chu had such thoughts in their hearts. Some people began to risk their lives to escape from other camp gates, some people hid in their tents at a loss and waited for the doomsday to come, and of course some people shouted hoarsely Organized a counterattack, and Huang Canjun was one of them. He had already realized that the Yong army that came was actually not many, probably only a few thousand, so he began to order the soldiers to counterattack. Lieutenant General Li, who should have assumed this responsibility, As early as the moment he saw Yong Jun entering the camp, he had already fled from behind with more than a hundred personal guards. The Southern Chu Army's resistance has begun to bear fruit. After all, the 30,000-strong army is not so easy to collapse. In any case, the Huaidong Army was originally an elite army. , can still fight.The Yong army's offensive began to be contained, and they could no longer attack freely. At this moment, Pei Yun, who had disappeared in the chaos, appeared. He had already changed his clothes and was wearing black clothes and black armor. The black cloak behind him was rustling in the autumn wind, and he followed behind him. More than ten personal guards, these people are all in ordinary blue and black armor, but they are all wearing white cloaks, and there is no identity mark on the armor. This is the symbol of Pei Yun's white camp. One of them is It was Du Lingfeng who secretly captured Sikou.These people walked in the midst of the chaotic army and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army. Huang Canjun is commanding the Chu army to counterattack in front of the camp. Although he is a civil servant, he is usually very cowardly, but after all, he has some military talents. As long as the leaderless Chu army has a leader, they can barely fight against the Yong army, which is far inferior to them. .When he saw Pei Yun walking slowly among the rebellious army with his personal guards, he was shocked. If this person was allowed to kill here, he might not have a chance to hold the camp again, so he repeatedly ordered to stop Pei Yun and the others.However, these people around Pei Yun are very powerful in force. They don't need Pei Yun to fight. They have already opened a bloody path. obey orders. Pei Yun just walked up to the tent of the Chinese army. Instead of looking at Huang Canjun, who was pale and surrounded by soldiers, he raised his head to look at the big banner flying in front of the tent of the Chinese army. He looked very indifferent, and walked towards the big banner. go.The sergeants in charge of guarding the handsome flag risked their lives to resist, but under the sword of the white battalion beside Pei Yun, their resistance became a negligible struggle.Walking under the big flag, Pei Yun snarled, and slashed away with his knife. A brilliant light flashed, and the flagpole of the big flag was broken from the middle. Finally broke down completely.Some bravely escaped from the camp, and some simply threw away their knives and guns, knelt down on the ground, and gave up resistance completely.The flags of the camp in Chuzhou fell down and were in disarray. Apart from those who escaped and died in battle, half of the 30,000 soldiers were captured without a fight.Looking at the collapsed camp, Huang Canjun was stunned. After a long time, he drew his sword and wanted to wipe it off his neck, but his hands and feet trembled, so he dared not strike.Before he could muster up his courage, a personal guard beside Pei Yun had already rode over and hit him on the back with a knife, knocking him unconscious to the ground.So far, the overall situation of Chuzhou Daying has been decided. Looking at the Southern Chu soldiers who abandoned their weapons and surrendered under the threat of the Yong army, Du Lingfeng laughed loudly and said: "Master, why is the Southern Chu army so sparse? If their combat strength is the same, we may be able to destroy them in less than half a year." Nanchu is gone." Pei Yun glanced at him indifferently, and said: "Luo Lou is really stupid and incompetent. He only knows how to use money and beauty to win over generals, but he doesn't know how to organize the army. The Southern Chu Huaidong Army is not strong. If you see Lu The army under Can's command knows that there are heroes in Nanchu, if you underestimate the enemy like this, I dare not let you be the vanguard again." Du Lingfeng stuck out his tongue, and said: "Yes, this subordinate knows his mistakes and never dares to underestimate the enemy. General, please don't leave me behind." Pei Yun smiled lightly, ignored him, and said to another white-clothed warrior, a middle-aged man with a stern appearance: "Wei Ping, you bring five hundred people here to guard the prisoners, and I will raid Chuzhou immediately." Wei Ping said worriedly: "General, you are the leader of an army. You should not take the lead. It can be said that you entered the camp alone and killed Luo Lou. It can be said that the general's martial arts are better than us. However, the surprise attack on Chuzhou is of great importance. General, please think twice. , if there is something wrong with the general, how can we explain it to the soldiers of the three armies." Pei Yun smiled and said: "Don't worry, after taking Chuzhou, I don't think there will be any chance of putting yourself in danger. Zhang Wenxiu leads the army to attack Sizhou, and they can go down sooner or later, and then attack Guangling together. When Yangzhou is captured, we will fight with Lu Can fight, when the time comes, I will have no chance to make a move." Du Lingfeng heard the words and asked: "Uncle, will Lu Can come to rescue Huaidong?" Pei Yun nodded and said: "If Yangzhou falls into our hands, our army can send troops to Guazhou Ferry to threaten Jingkou on the other side. If we don't take Jingkou and go up to Yanziji along the river, we can threaten Jianye. So Lu Can is We must not be allowed to show off our power in Huaidong. Although Shang Weijun is in power, he will let go at critical moments. Although it will delay some time, we must first clear the remnants of the Southern Chu Army. No matter how fast we want to attack Yangzhou , It will take one month, and by then Lu Can must be ready to fight in the Yangtze River." Du Lingfeng said: "Since that's the case, what if we rush to Yangzhou without stopping, so that Lu Can has no time to come here?" Pei Yun smiled lightly, and said: "This battle is inevitable, there is no possibility of avoiding it, so don't ask any more questions." Du Lingfeng looked blank, but he didn't dare to ask any more. At this time Wei Ping said: "General, there are more than ten thousand prisoners here, how can our army have the spare power to guard them, please tell me how to deal with them?" Pei Yundao: "It's not auspicious to kill the prisoners, not to mention that these Southern Chu soldiers have lost their ambitions, so they can't do any harm. You can imprison them in the camp. If there is any change, you can get out. In another hour, He Ying will arrive and take Chuzhou Just leave the battalion to him, and you send 20,000 troops to Chuzhou to meet me." After finishing speaking, Pei Yun walked outside, and the vanguard battalion that followed him to attack the Chuzhou camp is already in formation, waiting for him 's arrival At the end of the day, the main infantry of the Yong army finally arrived at the Chuzhou camp under the leadership of a middle-aged general, but the scene he saw made him dumbfounded. More than 10,000 Southern Chu troops sat quietly in their tents, and only 500 Yong troops patrolled back and forth. Repression.After seeing Wei Ping, the middle-aged general He Ying immediately ordered an army of 30,000 to take over the Chuzhou camp, and Wei Ping rode to Chuzhou with 20,000 steps. Two hours after the fall of the Chuzhou camp, the Sizhou camp was stormed by 50,000 Yong troops. Because Luo Louzhen's envoy was intercepted and killed by the Baiyi camp on the way, the Sizhou camp was unprepared. For military affairs, it was not until the early morning of the second day that the Sizhou camp fell.After that, Zhang Wenxiu led the army to attack Sizhou. The governor of Sizhou was timid and did not dare to fight, so Kaesong surrendered. However, Chuzhou had changed hands last night. So far, only a part of the southern Chu Huaidong garrison was left in the Guangling camp. Dayong broke the battle of Chu The prelude to the battle has finally been officially unveiled. The famous capital of Huaizuo, the best place in Zhuxi, and the boundless Yangzhou Road are already full of battle clouds and beacon fires.
