The plan of Zhang Jun's uprising this time was to first take down Shimen, seize the grain and grass of Shimen County, and use Shimen's geographical location to first cut off the connection between Shimen and the British Xuan army now entrenched in the South Gate. Immediately afterwards, they step by step attacked and killed the rebellious and uprising armies, and finally attacked and exterminated Yang Yao, bringing the entire Jinghu Lake Road under the control of the officers and soldiers!
And according to this plan, Zhang Jun naturally found out the intelligence early, and the power of the British Propaganda was not a powerful force. But he is also considered to be an amazing figure. Ying Xuan is a prestigious guardian of Mingjiao, or Maitreya, and his skills are actually quite good.
Although Ying Xuan is not a master, he is quite familiar with the art of war. Zhang Jun also wanted to surrender him and dig him among the officers and soldiers to work for him, but he was unsuccessful. It is precisely because of the existence of this force that Zhang Jun will put the first goal on Shimen instead of the Dongting Lake of the Great Sage King Yang Yao!
After all, even if Shimen was supported by the Xinwangjun, the cunning Zhang Jun also understood that Xinwang Zhaozhen was throwing a rat-avoidance weapon. For the sake of the overall situation, it was impossible to mobilize Xinwangjun's army to directly fight with the soldiers and horses of the Southern Song Dynasty Zhao Gou. Therefore, he did not regard the Shimen Army as the primary enemy. After all, on Jinghu Lake Road, the Great Sage King Yang Yao is the largest rebel bandit army.
Before Zhang Jun assigned the task of attacking Shimen City to Zhang Jun and Fang Jiangzhong, he brought the elite of officers and soldiers to subdue the bandits and bandits around Shimen. Another purpose was to put pressure on the leaders of the uprisings. The insurgents that made all the uprisings dare not come to support Shimen.
However, Zhang Jun never expected that he would have been so long in Shimen City. It is now obvious that Yingxuan and other rebellious troops who don’t know where, and even the troops that have changed their roles in Wang Jun, have been suppressed. Live and dispatch troops!
Although Zhang Jun had a large number of officers and soldiers, they did not have the ability to deal with a tens of thousands of elite soldiers, not to mention that the mysterious army killed from the West was probably the Xinwang Army. The army of the King's Army is a powerful and powerful general who can defeat the Jinbing, and can defeat his army ten times as much.
Up to now, Zhang Jun's action is doomed to fail. Zhang Jun's whole person seems to be aging several decades, and his face no longer has the same spirit.
I glanced at the two sudden news from behind, hitting the soldiers and soldiers who were at a loss, and the shouts of killing from the south were constantly beating on Zhang Jun’s confidence. At the same time, the people from the north The sound of war drums also stopped, replaced by the same screams of killing. Zhang Jun knew right away that the North City Gate must have been breached!
It was already a great situation, but now it ends up like this, Zhang Jun can't wait to draw his sword and apologize immediately! But seeing the helpless faces of the officers and soldiers around him, Zhang Jun couldn't help but sighed. These are all his own powers! Wouldn't it be a pity if all were lost here! Besides, as long as he has so many troops, Zhao Gou will not directly deal with himself and cut his head. After thinking about it again and again, Zhang Jun resisted the pessimistic thought, waved his big hand, and shouted: "Retreat! Retreat to the east!"
Those officers, soldiers and soldiers were already panicked when they heard that the enemy army had arrived. Now that Zhang Jun's order was issued, they were relieved from their panic. When he obeyed Zhang Jun's military order, he began to gather his troops and rushed towards the east city gate. Before Zhang Jun left, he glanced at the mansion unwillingly. last step! Just the last step! If he could capture the mansion a moment earlier and completely master Shimen City, with the support of the city wall, Zhang Jun would be confident that he would be able to fight those enemy soldiers!
As long as these enemy soldiers can be held back, I believe officers and soldiers from other directions will soon come to support. By then, these uprising troops and troops suspected of believing in the king's army will all be buried here, so how can it be Zhang Jun's turn to flee now
But now it doesn't make any sense to think so much. Zhang Jun can only escape from Shimen City with full of regret and hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers. On the way to escape, it was unavoidable to encounter the pursuit of two groups of troops. Zhang Jun, who has no heart to fight, will naturally no longer entangle with these insurgents or those suspected of believing in the king's army. He has no intention of resisting at all. He directly ordered the retreat, but hundreds of thousands of troops were chased by troops of less than 50,000. There were countless deaths and injuries. In the end, although he could escape, there were only less than 200,000 soldiers left.
When Zhang Jun ordered to escape, in the mansion, he heard the movement outside, Xin Wang Zhaozhen, General Shan Hongfei, and a group of officers and soldiers were all overjoyed. General Shan Hongfei couldn't help but open the door to attack and participate in the blockade. The action of soldiers.
However, General Shan Hongfei's proposal was stopped by the believer Zhao Zhen. The reason was that this reinforcement was not known whether it was true or not. If it was rushed out, wouldn't it be bad if it was caught in the tricks of the thief army? After listening to Wang Zhaozhen's suggestion, the generals also agreed with Wang Zhaozhen's view. Anyway, even if they are stubbornly guarding the mansion, if there are really reinforcements coming, there is no difference between thousands of them.
Although the letter king Zhao Zhen said so, but seeing the situation in the distance, he already believed in his heart that there was indeed reinforcements coming! Because with the current strength comparison between the officers and soldiers and the defenders in the mansion, Zhang Jun didn't need to play such tricks at all.
However, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen thought of such an excuse to persuade General Shan Hongfei to attack, but it was his consideration. Although I don't know, reinforcements that shouldn't have appeared in the first place are now appearing. However, since the officers and soldiers had been defeated, his previous goal of keeping Shimen had been temporarily completed. Saved Shimen, what's next? In this place under Zhao Gou's rule, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen is determined to lay down a turf and become a force that is apparently independent of the Jin Kingdom, Southern Song Dynasty and Xin Wang's army.
Looking at the rising sun in the east, although it was a bit dazzling, the letter Wang Zhao Zhen didn't mean to evade, with an inexplicable expression on his face. The rivers and mountains of the Southern Song Dynasty belonged to the southern territory of the Great Song Dynasty. Now, I believe Wang Zhao Zhen is here!
In the gloomy prison, there were stern wailing sounds that echoed from time to time, making people horrified. Wang Yun lay on the ground with a wry smile and said to Liu Zhengjiang, who was in the prison next door: "Liu Zhengjiang! It looks like Lord Zhang has been defeated, and the defeat is terrible!"
Liu Zhengjiang's face was full of loneliness. He knew that Wang Yun was right. If Zhang Jun had not been defeated, it would be impossible to save them by now. At that time, they woke up after being stunned by the letter king Zhao Zhen, but they were already locked up in this prison.
Almost two or three days have passed since Zhang Jun’s army was compared with the Shimen city’s defenders, and without the support of the city wall, Zhang Jun could not have rescued them without taking down Shimen until now. The only explanation is that something unexpected happened and Zhang Jun's army was defeated!
With a sigh, Liu Zhengjiang did not put too much thought on the failure of the army. Instead, he glanced outside the cell, frowned and said, "Wang Yun, don't you think it is strange?"
"Weird? What's weird?" Wang Yun doesn't think so much like Liu Zhengjiang. When the two are together, Wang Yun usually asks Liu Zhengjiang to do things that he thinks about. He just needs to do it. So after hearing what Liu Zhengjiang said, he couldn't turn a corner, and could only ask Liu Zhengjiang back and wait for his answer.
Liu Zhengjiang was silent for a moment, but he pricked his ears and listened for a while, and then said: "I feel something is wrong here! If Master Zhang loses, won't we be the only prisoners? Listen to the screams It seems that there are only a dozen people in this prison at most! What about the remaining captured brothers?"
Inside the Shimen prison, Liu Zhengjiang thought for a while, and said, "I feel something is wrong here! If Master Zhang loses, won't we be the only prisoners? Listening to the wailing, it seems that there is no more talent in this prison. Only a dozen people! Where are the remaining captured brothers?"
When Liu Zhengjiang said this, Wang Yun also thought of this layer, and then frowned, nodded and said, "That's right! Did the officers and soldiers kill all the captured brothers? But again? Why did you leave us two?"
Liu Zhengjiang couldn't answer Wang Yun's question, and he didn't know the answer, but he knew that the person who left them in particular would appear in front of them sooner or later. And now, what Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun can do now is to wait here.
However, what Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun did not expect was that they waited for three days, and the one who appeared in front of them was the one who fought against them that night and captured them alive. Brave generals!
The letter king Zhao Zhen only brought Xiaogui Xie to this prison, and even the other generals did not tell. As for Xiaogui Xie, for this future general of Jingzhou who has already worshipped Wang Xin Zhao Zhen to the extreme, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen has succeeded in making him a trustworthy person these days. And now there are some things that Xinwang Zhao Zhen can't do alone, so I need Xie Xiaogui to help.
