Along the corner of the wall, he approached the place where the Song army detained the people. Zhang Zhongyao first arranged for Yajun camp to watch the intersection on all sides. Then Centurion Director Zhu led his troops to knock on the door. After a while, he heard someone inside yelling impatiently: "Wang Laosan" Come on, come on, why are you in a hurry?" At this moment, except for the Jianxiong Army guarding the south city, there is almost no organized resistance in Taiyuan City, so this Hujie Army of hundreds of people does not need him, nor do the soldiers guarding the gate. After careful inspection, he easily opened the door. When he saw hundreds of sergeants standing outside the door, most of them were wearing imperial uniforms, but they didn't recognize them at all, and they couldn't help but froze there.
Director Zhu was too lazy to talk to him. He pushed the soldier who opened the door to the side and led the army of teeth to file in. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw the corpses of several women tied softly between a few locust trees. Below, two Hujie sergeants were pulling several women out of the large house where the civilians were being held. The women refused to obey. While beating them, several soldiers pointed at the corpse tied to the tree. He threatened in a threatening voice: "Grandma, if you don't know how to behave, this will be your fate!" From the side rooms on both sides, loud shouts and screams of women were also heard. There were more than 300 tigers standing in the courtyard. The Czech army sergeants were all looking forward to seeing their comrades who were abusing the men in the wing be finished soon. Many soldiers had already impatiently untied their belts and held them up with both hands, waiting to finish the work before going into battle. Suddenly, another group of men and horses broke into the gate. All the soldiers of the Hujie Army turned their heads and looked over. Some were hurriedly fastening their belts, some with hostility and drew out the swords from their waists, and some Others cursed loudly: "The women here are all from the Hujie Army. Do you understand the first-come, first-served rule? If you want to find a woman, don't go to the city!"
Zhang Zhongyao led the Anxi soldiers into the distance and did not answer. The sergeant in the front row drew his sword and raised his shield. The sergeant in the back row took out the short crossbow that had been cocked and pointed it at the unprepared Hujie army in front. Chen De came out of the crowd and looked around at the ugly soldiers of Hujie's army. His eyes widened and he shouted sternly: "I am Chen De, the governor of Anxi. Your Majesty has a purpose to treat the people of Hedong well, but how dare you rob women?" Is it a serious crime to be wanton and humiliating?" No matter how Zhao Jiong viewed the people of Taiyuan in his heart, at least in terms of face, when accepting Liu Jiyuan's surrender, the court clarified the kindness of treating the people of Hedong and Taiyuan well. In order to reflect the magnanimity of God's grace, , and it also means that Hedong will be exempted from tax for three years. After the city was broken, the troops ransacked the city and robbed women, but Zhao Jiong adopted a selective and ignorant attitude.
"Don't use the officials to oppress people. The palace guards have brought all the concubines and concubines of Jinyang Palace to the imperial camp for the officials to enjoy. There are also many generals who enjoy the families of high-ranking officials in the Northern Han Dynasty. We brothers also fought and shed blood. Could it be that Don't you want to play with two enemy relatives?" A Hujie military captain emerged from the wing while holding up his trousers. Zhu Bochao had a short figure. Under the military robe that was hastily draped on his body, there were crisscrossed sword wounds and arrow scars. He was scary, with a full beard, and a pair of sinister triangular eyes that kept looking at Chen De, with a hint of provocation. Even though Chen De was the Jiedushi envoy, he had no control over the affairs of the Hujie Army. Besides, all the officers in the Forbidden Army knew the background of the Anxi Jiedushi envoy.
Hearing his rude words, Chen De raised his eyebrows. He discussed with Zhang Zhongyao in advance and decided to cut the knot with a sharp knife and use his power to overwhelm others, so he shouted: "What a ruthless soldier who has no regard for the imperial court and commits crimes below. If he condones it, the king of the imperial court will Law, where is the face of the official family! Come here, capture this madman and hand it over to the military judge for questioning, and let me release all these robbed women." As soon as he finished speaking, the Yajun who had already prepared They swarmed forward, punched and kicked Zhu Bochao, who was caught off guard, and pushed him to the ground. He cut his hands behind his back and dragged him to Chen De's side. The other Yajun soldiers used swords, bows and crossbows to hold back the other Hujie soldiers who were about to move, to prevent them from jumping over the wall.
The Hujie Army was originally an elite member of the Forbidden Army, but this group of soldiers was eager to have fun and lacked all the weapons around them. They were also afraid that Chen De was the military governor of the imperial court. If they were to embarrass him, they would probably suffer more. This is called knowing the current affairs. He is a handsome man. There are many women in the city, and there are dozens of them. Zhu Bochao, who was the first to come forward, was captured by the Anxi army's tooth soldiers on the spot. He faced more than a hundred powerful crossbows. He could only watch helplessly as the Anxi army detained him. Hundreds of Jianxiong's military family members were brought out from the courtyard.
After Li Jiuyan and Juan'er were taken out by the soldiers of the Anxi Army, they saw Chen De standing in the courtyard looking at them. Juan'er happily shouted: "Brother Chen!" She pulled Li Jiuyan and ran to Chen De. She met him for the first time. Chen De was fashionable and still a child. Now he was tall and hair-haired, and he had a vague awareness of the difference between men and women. He originally wanted to throw himself into his arms and run in front of Chen De, but he stood there awkwardly, with a pair of bright eyes full of smiles. With joy, he watched Brother Chen reunited after a long absence.
Chen Deyi smiled and nodded towards her and Li Jiuyan, and patted Juan'er's shoulder comfortingly. The little girl had grown taller, and said to Li Jiuyan: "Uncle Li, you are well!" When the soldiers saw this, they suddenly realized that they had arrested the wrong old friend of Anxi Jiedushi. He wanted to save people, so he simply used His Majesty's decree to rescue all the family members of the Jianxiong Army.Zhu Bochao, who was pushed to the ground, shouted even louder: "Chen De, these hundreds of people are all dependents of the Taiyuan thief Kou Jianxiong's army. You pretended to be a public servant and had an affair with Liu Jiye. You missed a big event. General Cao will definitely not let you go!" "Chen De said with a smile: "If General Cao has something to say, I will fight a court case with him at the official's house." According to the rules of the Five Dynasties Army, all things that happened during the army's siege of the city have always been forgotten. If General Chen De These family members of Jianxiong Army were brought out safely, and Cao Han could not say anything afterwards.
After leaving the mansion, he had just met with Li Chengxiang and more than a hundred Jianxiong Army soldiers. Just now, Chen De was worried that Hu Jiejun would become suspicious and cause unnecessary conflicts, so he ordered Li Chengxiang to wait behind the house with these Jianxiong Army soldiers. The family was reunited, and before they had time to sigh, Li Shun from Yajun Camp came up and said: "Sir, the Hujie Army is under the banner of Cao Han. More than 5,000 people are coming from the west at high speed." Chen De said solemnly: "Cao Han Han is someone who doesn't want to suffer, so Cheng Xiang quickly takes these old, weak, women and children back to Nancheng to avoid trouble, and I'll stay here to stop him."
The situation was imminent, and Li Chengxiang had no time to be humble, so he immediately retreated southward with the old and the weak. Zhang Zhongyao commanded three hundred Anxi soldiers to line up in formation, with crossbows in front and swords and shields in the middle. Finally, the cavalry holding horses and spears pressed forward and defeated the Anxi Jiedushi. Chen De's banner. Not long after, they saw a large group of tiger troops approaching with great momentum. The leading general was Cao Han. He shook his head and saw Chen De's flag. Without waiting to talk to him, he gave a loud order: "Chen De of the Anxi army colluded with Liu Jiye to rebel and cause rebellion. This is a heinous crime, take him down first!" As soon as he finished speaking, the front team fired hundreds of crossbow arrows towards the Anxi Army's formation.
It turns out that after Cao Han received the report from his subordinates, he was furious at first and then overjoyed. He knew the court's concerns about Chen De and the Anxi Army, but he could not tolerate Chen De's earlier humiliation of the Cao family. Now it was a good time to get rid of him. Chen De was an old general in Hedong and colluded with Liu Jiye. It is a matter of course. Taiyuan City is now in chaos. It would be better to kill Chen De, frame him for rebellion, or use the excuse that he was killed by the rebels. Therefore, before the two armies connected, Cao Han sent the Hujie Army from a distance to go back to the rear of Chen De's army formation. He came with great fanfare and momentum, with the idea of ????getting rid of him in one fell swoop.
Hujie's army suddenly fired arrows, which caught Chen Depo off guard. Everyone under Chen De and Zhang Zhongyao was hit by several arrows. Fortunately, the armor of the Ya army camp was the strongest and most complete among the Anxi army, and only those in the rear formation were hit. More than a dozen war horses fell to the ground dead in mourning. Zhang Zhongyao said angrily: "Sir, they are deliberately plotting to harm you! I am here to stop you with the Ya Army Camp, and let Director Zhu protect you and retreat quickly." Before he finished speaking, Li Ran, the centurion of the Ya Army Cavalry, rode on. The man from behind stepped forward and said: "Sir, a large group of Hujie troops appeared behind our army." Chen De's face darkened. He did not expect that Cao Han was so ruthless and wanted to annihilate this Anxi army in one fell swoop.
At this time, the number of people was very low, and the way back was cut off. Zhang Zhongyao said: "For the current plan, I will lead the infantry to intercept the enemy army, and your Excellency will lead the cavalry to break out south. Without further delay, please make your decision!" All the generals above the senior level bowed together and said: "Please make a decision, your lord!" Chen De looked around at the hopeful faces of the generals around him, shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Am I the one who abandoned my comrades to survive alone?" He said He jumped off his horse, untied the Mo Dao hanging next to the saddle, handed the reins to Zhang Zhongyao, and shouted loudly: "Today we are going to die, and we will fight on death ground. Li Ran will lead the fat cavalry to cut off the rear, and I will take the Mo Dao hand and sword shield." The hand and crossbowmen are in the center to support, Zhong Yao leads the heavy cavalry as the vanguard, and the whole army rushes south!" After saying that, he closed the visor on his helmet and strode towards Modao Shou in Ya Barracks. Although the Ya army camp is small, it is well-equipped with all the internal organs. Among the one hundred and fifty infantry, there are fifty crossbowmen, fifty spearmen, thirty swordsmen and shieldmen, twenty swordsmen, and one hundred and fifty cavalry. There are seventy hussars, fifty wandering cavalry, and thirty heavy cavalry. Chen Dejun gave an order, and the whole army quickly changed their formation, using the heavy cavalry as arrows, followed by the swordsmen and shieldmen, and Li Ran led the hussars at the end of the army.
When Cao Han saw Chen De turning his army to the south, he raised the corner of his mouth with a mocking smile and ordered the front line of Hujie's army to keep a dense formation and advance slowly to avoid being charged by the hussars. He had already arranged for nearly 2,000 Hujie troops from the south to encircle them. As the saying goes, one force can defeat ten tricks, and only the main force can be used together. No matter how Chen De changes his formation, no matter how good the Anxi army is in fighting, they will be crushed to pieces.
Zhang Zhongyao led thirty heavy cavalry and formed a front arrow formation. In front of them, dense layers of Tiger Army infantry were coming, endlessly coming from the streets to the south. However, Zhang Zhongyao did not hesitate at all. He picked up the horse's chariot and shouted loudly: "Ya Army Camp, follow me forward and penetrate the enemy's formation!" His legs clamped tightly on the horse's belly. The Hexi war horse seemed to feel the owner's intention to regard death as home, and hoofed up. Run, rush forward.
At this moment, the gate of the Ming Dynasty to the south slowly opened. Before the people supporting the elderly and the young could rush into the city to take refuge, nearly a thousand cavalry galloped out of the city. Yang Yanzhao from the Jianxiong Army Office led the cavalry to the north along the street. It only took a moment to rush to the front of the Hujie Army's formation, and saw the Anxi flag in the distance.?? shouted loudly: "Follow me to break through the enemy's formation!" He stretched out his ape arms lightly, and a big white-tasseled spear was like a spirit snake spitting out a message. The giant python turned over. Before he finished speaking, a soldier of the Hujie Army who had no time to react was struck by the tip of the spear. It was lifted into the air, and the scream was only half loud, and then it hit the thick earth wall beside the street and made no sound.
