Tongzhou City. Seeing the enemy retreating, the defenders at the top of the city still did not dare to relax at all. They took the time to repair the blasted city wall, repair the damaged defensive equipment, and transport supplies to the top of the city. Mo Wen also did not rest. He comforted the injured soldiers and led the crowd to inspect the city wall. After two days of fierce fighting, more than a thousand soldiers were killed and countless others were injured. This was really not good news for the defenders who already had insufficient strength. But Mo Wen was not worried about the coming battle at all. In the end, even if all the food and supplies in the city were burned down, he would still be invincible. In fact, Yang Rong and Zhu Zhanji outside the city didn't know that the defenders still had this last resort, but they had no choice. If they captured Tongzhou City, they still had a glimmer of hope of preserving food. If they didn't attack Tongzhou City, there would be no hope at all. there is none left. What's more, they still thought that Wang Xian was in the city But Mo Wen knew very well that his mission was to hold off the resistance of the officers and soldiers as much as possible, and to cause as much damage as possible to weaken their vigor and fighting spirit. Create conditions for Wang Xian's next move and reduce resistance Langfang is located in Dong'an County, Shuntian Prefecture, eighty miles due south of Tongzhou, and is the choke point to the capital from the north. As the second line of defense against Shandong, there are 20,000 troops stationed. Although the number of troops is not too large, the heavily guarded Daxing Defense Line is more than 30 miles behind. As long as the enemy forces arrive and give an early warning to Daxing as soon as possible and delay the enemy forces for a period of time to buy enough time for the Daxing defense line to mobilize troops, then they can retreat to Daxing and join forces with Zhang Fu's army. Relying on the solid Daxing defense line to defend against the enemy. Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that this is an early warning line, which makes Erhei, Deng Xiaoxian and others who had finally dealt with the enemy in Cangzhou feel particularly scratched. But they said that after receiving Wang Xian's order, they rushed northward, but the marching speed was not optimistic. At the critical moment of life and death, no one would slack off, but Erhei and the others knew very well that their mission was not to attack the city, but to bring these 50,000 troops to Wang Xian as intact as possible. If these 50,000 troops were all cavalry, they would naturally be able to bypass the enemy's defenses and leave the pursuers far behind. But among the 50,000 troops, there were only 20,000 cavalry. Of the remaining 30,000, 20,000 were infantry, 5,000 were baggage soldiers, and there were also 5,000 soldiers of unknown types, together with the baggage soldiers. Driving thousands of mule carts and horse-drawn carriages. Such a slow-moving army would not dare to allow the pursuers behind it to constantly harass them, so they had to deal with the enemies along the way. This is difficult for a general who leads troops to death. With the help of nine oxen and two tigers, Erhei and the others were able to defeat the officers and soldiers in Cangzhou. As for the process, I can't bear to describe it in detail. They used the army to bluff, sent envoys into the city, and bribed the garrison with huge sums of money. The Jinyiwei also kidnapped the family members of the Cangzhou magistrate, and then reluctantly forced them to agree to cooperate internally and externally, opened the gates of Cangzhou City, led the army into the city, and forced the 30,000 defenders in the city to surrender. This was only possible because Cangzhou was too close to Shandong and had deep entanglements with Shandong in all aspects. The gentry, officers and soldiers generally envied Shandong's prosperity. But Langfang is already under the nose of Beijing, and Shandong cannot penetrate it at all. Moreover, the officers, soldiers and their families are all in the capital. Even if they want to kidnap someone, they can't find anyone. How can there be any opportunity for opportunism? This is so worrying that Erhei and others are about to approach Langfang. They have no choice but to gather together for a meeting to discuss. The result is no surprise, and the quarrel turns into a pot of porridge. "Don't mess with these useless things, just fight them with your knife!" Deng Xiaoxian, who had grown a beard and was the commander of 20,000 cavalry, had already been troubled by Erhei's timid approach. anger. He shouted loudly: "We have been sharpening our swords for four years, and fighting in Langfang is still not a joke?!" "As soon as you hit them, they will run away, and we can't catch up. Let them join forces with Zhang Fu. We want to How many people will die to break through the Daxing defense line?" Long Wuye frowned and sighed: "You are not young, why are you still so impatient?" "The older you get, the less courageous you are!" Deng Xiaoxian and Long Wuye usually said. It's not easy to deal with him. He's so angry right now that he naturally has no good words to say. "Okay!" Erhei wore an eye patch, one eye, a fierce look on his face, and a shiny bald head, which was quite intimidating. "We are discussing business, what the hell!" "I support General Deng," Liu Xin, the former first brave general of the White Lotus Sect and now the commander of Shandong Capital, also spoke. "Time waits for no one, we can't delay any longer." We have to go to Tongzhou to rendezvous with the Duke. ""Don't forget our mission," Yang Rong, an old and strong military commander, couldn't help but be shunned by his colleagues in the past two years because he has the same name as the bachelor. He shook his head and said: "If our losses are too big, how can we explain to the father-in-law? " "How can one not die in a war? "Liu Xin curled his lips and said. "Don't be too naive.Just because you want to be in the limelight, do you know what the overall situation is? ! "Liu Jun is Wang Xian's brother, so he naturally takes his words as a guideline. A group of generals in the big tent have their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone, making Erhei feel like he has two big heads. This is the current situation of the Shandong Front Army. There are generals from the former gangs, leaders from the White Lotus Sect, officers from the imperial court who joined Wang Xian, and Wang Xian's die-hard brothers like himself, and all of them have made great achievements, and they have always been different from each other. There was nothing wrong inside, no one wanted to lose to anyone else, they were all competing to complete the tasks assigned by Wang Xian, and with Wei Yuan and Tang Saier pressing on them, there was never any trouble. But when it came time to fight, there was no problem. What's more, neither Wei Yuan nor Tang Sai'er went out with the army. These arrogant and powerful generals didn't listen to anyone. They were all leaderless. How could we fight this battle? "Hey, it would be great if Lao Wang was here" Er Hei thought helplessly, but then laughed to himself, Wang Xian was in Tongzhou, how could he appear in front of him? Before he could suppress this thought, Er Hei, who was already irritable, suddenly heard a commotion outside the tent. He couldn't control his temper at all, and shouted loudly: "Why are you making such a fuss, do you think I don't exist? ! "The noise outside the tent suddenly stopped, and a hearty laughter came into the tent: "Our Black General has a good temper! "The generals who were arguing in the tent were all stunned for a moment. The next moment everyone ran out of the tent in ecstasy, shouting: "The Lord is here! "In the tent, Erhei's one eye widened and he watched in disbelief as Wang Xian strolled into the tent surrounded by the generals. "Hey! Erhei touched his bald head, grinned and said, "Okay, whatever you want comes to you!" " "Fuck you! What is I? ! "Wang Xian laughed and cursed, and then hugged Erhei Xiong. The childhood friends slapped each other vigorously to vent their joy of meeting again. " Letting go of Erhei, Wang Xian hugged each other again and the generals in the tent, and the tent was immediately filled with joy. Where is the smell of gunpowder? Not just in the Chinese army tent. At this time, all the soldiers in the battalion were informed of Wang Xian's arrival, shouting excitedly, as if they had won the war! After saying goodbye to the generals! Qing, Wang Xian was promoted to the tent, Erhei, Deng Xiaoxian, Yang Rong, Long Wuye, Liu Jun, Liu Xin, Liu Achou, more than a dozen generals were divided into classes under the tent, standing motionless and proud, their military appearance was extremely solemn, and they were different from just now. It¡¯s completely different! This is why Wang Xian must come here. There is no other person in the world who can lead the group of arrogant soldiers he left in Shandong, not even Mo Wen. The day before yesterday, he was conquering Tongzhou South! After seeing that the battle situation had been decided, he handed over the command to Mo Wen. Under the protection of more than a hundred riders such as Xianyun and Xinci, he left Tongzhou City before the first morning light appeared. Qingqi bypassed Daxing and Langfang and came to join the Shandong army! " "of course! "When the generals heard this, they couldn't hold it back and shouted loudly: "Young Master, it's so embarrassing. We are your soldiers. This kind of good thing that honors our ancestors is not brought with us! " "Yes, my father-in-law's heart has gone to Java! " "Hahaha! Wang Xian laughed loudly and said, "Isn't I here?" The time has come for you to make great achievements! " "Very good! "The generals' eyes lit up immediately, and they started gearing up. They wanted to rush out of the camp and follow Wang Xian to kill everyone! "It's just," Wang Xian changed the subject and said, "I heard that you guys have been arguing all day long. I am very worried about whether I will lose my chain! " "No, no!" "The generals shook their heads like rattles, beat their chests loudly, and said, "We have fought with you in the north and south for many years, and we have never embarrassed you! " "Yes, you have all made great achievements in battle, and it is inevitable to be a little arrogant now. "Wang Xian said with a half-smile. "Absolutely not! "The generals knew that Wang Xian was very dissatisfied with their performance just now, and they quickly expressed their opinions: "We will definitely enforce the prohibition! " "There won't be any problems between brother troops? "Wang Xian asked again. "We will definitely live and die together, and we will be loved as if we were supported by one mother! "The generals wanted to hold each other and kiss each other a few times, showing their closeness. "Is this a military order? Wang Xian asked leisurely. "Of course it's a military order!" "The generals looked solemn, but without hesitation, they nodded heavily and said: "But if there is any violation, you don't need to take action, just bring it up and see it yourself! " "good! "Wang Xian then stood up, and his sharp eyes slowly swept across the generals,??Some people raised their chests and looked at their coach feverishly, waiting for him to give orders. "The generals listen to the order, raise the banner of my commander, and the whole army breaks through Langfang and goes straight to Tongzhou! Follow my commander to destroy this imperial food!" "Yes!" The generals responded with a roar, and their voices penetrated the camp tents and went straight into the sky!
