Dengzhou.
Ever since he ran into Li Ye in the tea shed last time, after the two fought, they fled back in embarrassment and even broke Wu Yazi, Zhu Wen was not in a good mood.
However, Zhu Wen didn't have a bitter face all day long. Anyway, he had met King An. Although he didn't win, it was because the opponent had too many experts around him, and it had little to do with Zhu Wen himself. Furthermore. Anyway, after talking with An Wangzuo for a while, and getting to know each other better, Zhu Wen didn't think it was too bad a loss.
The biggest change that this battle brought to Zhu Wen was that Zhu Wen no longer resisted the Taoism of Zhongnan Mountain as before. At that time, if there were many masters in Zhongnan Mountain by his side, Zhu Wen would not have been in danger and ended up fleeing in a hurry.
Zhu Wen is a person who is good at self-reflection, and he has a clear understanding of the situation, so after seeing that there are many masters around Li Ye, he feels that it is necessary to bring a few masters by his side. In short, similar losses can no longer be suffered. So this time when Zhongnan Mountain Daomen sent people to Dengzhou again, Zhu Wen gave him a good reception.
The one who came was Zhongnanshan Great Elder, the sect master of Zhongnanshan and Wu Yazi's senior brother, whose cultivation had reached the level of a real person.
Zhu Wen is not surprised. Since Huang Chao conquered Chang'an, the cultivation of Zhongnan Mountain Taoist has improved a lot as a whole. Not to mention that he was originally the head of the real person, and there are two other monks who have been stuck in the ninth level of Qi training for a long time. They also broke through the realm of real people.
How else can we say that heroes emerge in large numbers in troubled times, and luck is scattered all over the world, and more people benefit from it.
This Zhongnan Taoist called himself Wujizi, a name that Zhu Wen didn't find novel at all.
Wujizi brought two capable helpers, both of whom were at the ninth level of qi training, which greatly enriched Zhu Wen's personal guards. Now that he was confident enough to fight Li Ye head-on, he even had the idea of going to Xuzhou to assassinate Li Ye, but after thinking about it, he gave up at least.
After suffering a loss in the tea shed, Zhu Wen always wanted to get back his position. The so-called man must become more courageous when frustrated, and revenge cannot be overnight. Zhu Wen has been waiting for many nights.
However, Zhu Wen is a general in the army, and he is actually not very interested in asking him to fight against Li Ye, so Zhu Wen pointed the finger at the vanguard of the army who came to the west.
On this day, Zhu Wen assembled 5,000 elite soldiers, and asked Wujizi for a hundred Zhongnan Mountain masters, and placed them in the elite cavalry formation, preparing to give Li Ye's vanguard a ruthless blow.
After gathering the fine cavalry on the school field, Zhu Wen said to Zhu Zhen: "We have just captured Dengzhou and won the city in a tragic victory. Now the city has not been repaired. At this time, King An is leading troops to attack. We are under great pressure. We must Think of a way to give King An a head-on blow, so as to slow down their westward march, repair the city for us, buy time, and also hit the arrogance of the Tang army and improve the morale of our army."
When Zhu Zhen was in the tea shed battle, she was not taken care of by Li Ye and the others. Later, Li Ye and the others chased Zhu Wen out. After being intercepted by Wu Yazi halfway, they didn't look back. Zhu Zhen escaped by luck.
Zhu Zhen understood Zhu Wen's meaning: "Don't worry, general, this time the general will definitely fulfill his mission!"
Shangguan Qingcheng led three thousand cavalry to the west, and Zhu Wen had already received the news. His plan was to eat up this vanguard elite cavalry, so there was such an arrangement.
He said: "King An's soldiers and horses are excellent, but Pinglu has no battles and has not been tempered by blood and fire. Naturally, they are far inferior to ours in terms of elite level. This time I will entrust all the soldiers to you. You must eat the opponent. Remember, if you can eat this cavalry, then Dengzhou still has a lot of room for maneuver. If you fail, King An's army of more than 100,000 troops will come directly to the city. At that time We have no other way but to defend the city. Therefore, we can only win this battle and not lose!"
Zhu Zhen raised her head and said, "Don't worry, general, if this battle cannot be won, I will come to see you at the end!"
Zhu Wen patted Zhu Zhen on the shoulder, and tried his best to say a few more words.
Zhu Wen stepped onto the platform and looked around at the well-armored and war-torn five thousand elites. He had the confidence to win in his eyes. As a veteran on the battlefield, of course he had confidence in his own moves. The more famous the general, the more so. If you don't even believe in your own songs, who else can the general trust
Zhu Wen said proudly: "You have followed this general for several years. They are my brothers and legs, and they are also my sharp blade! Now that I am at the beginning of Daqi, your Majesty is fighting in Guanzhong. The Tang army is fighting and fleeing. Going out of customs and occupying Dengzhou is to occupy the Central Plains and pacify the world! Your Majesty's trust in this general is the same as this general's trust in you! Now that Li Ye is looking for death, then you let those young children who have never been on the battlefield know What is an elite of hundreds of battles!"
After saying that, Zhu Wen drew his sword out of its sheath, held it up high and shouted: "Kill Tang Wang Li Ye, Yang Daqi's national prestige, occupy the hinterland of the Central Plains, this battle must be won!"
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
The five thousand fine riders roared in unison.
Zhu Wen was very satisfied with the response of the trilogy, and his morale was high enough to fight. He put away the horizontal knife and nodded to Zhu Zhen. After clasping her fists, Zhu Zhen got on her horse and led five thousand cavalry to file out from the barracks.
After the five thousand fine riders left, Zhu Wenjiu stood on the stage and did not move. From time to time, Wujizi appeared next to him, smiling all over his face and said: "General Zhu's trilogy is really a rare elite. After leaving the customs, he also went to the customs. His Majesty's personal army is nothing more than that."
If it was the usual, Zhu Wen would definitely not turn his head back, at most he would say a few perfunctory words, but at this moment, he turned around and clasped his fists slightly at Wujizi, and after all the etiquette, he smiled and said: "The Taoist priest praised it absurdly, Zhu Wen's trilogy , how can it be compared with His Majesty."
Wujizi's smile didn't fade, and he didn't talk about this topic with Zhu Wenduo, but looked at the dusty barracks gate and said: "With General Zhu's elite in all battles, it is not difficult to defeat Li Ye's vanguard. Just in case."
"What if?" Zhu Wen frowned slightly.
Shangguan Qingcheng entered the border of Dengzhou with 3,000 riders and cleaned up the soldiers and horses of Daqi all the way. Of course, the movement could not be small, so Zhu Wen's spies observed very clearly that the opponent was indeed only 3,000 people, and there was no way to support them. Thousand cavalry, what could be unexpected
Zhu Wen: "The Taoist priest means that King An sent masters in the formation?"
Wujizi smiled even wider: "It's not impossible."
"What does the priest mean?" Zhu Wen asked tentatively.
Wujizi said without hesitation: "If General Zhu promises, Pindao can follow in secret. If there is any accident, maybe he can help one or two."
Zhu Wen was overjoyed, Wujizi is a real person, if he is willing to take a trip, the victory of the five thousand elite riders is really a certainty.
However, Zhu Wen felt that it was very strange. Although he led the army out of the customs, it was very important to the overall situation of Da Qi's use of troops in the Central Plains, but in the final analysis, the current battle center of Da Qi's army is still in Guanzhong. After all, only by sitting firmly in the pass can we use troops on all sides to calm the world step by step.
In Guanzhong Fengxiang, Zheng Tian, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Li Yan and controlled the military power, has never been defeated and is a thorn in the eyes of the Qi army. At this time, if Zhongnanshan Daomen didn't help Huang Chao deal with Zheng Tian, why did all the masters go to Dengzhou to take care of themselves
Even for someone like Wu Yazi, Zhong Nanshan didn't fart, and he didn't mean to blame himself at all.
Zhu Wen couldn't figure it out for a while, so he stopped bothering and clasped his fists and said, "If the Taoist priest is willing to go, I will naturally be grateful."
Wujizi smiled and nodded: "It's easy to say, easy to say."
Langya has traveled this way, fighting more than a dozen battles, but the opponents are all small checkpoints set up by the rebel army, and there are teams raising food everywhere. There are no more than a hundred people in the number, and only a dozen people in the small ones. , It's really not a record, at least Li Ye is not satisfied, and Li Ye can tell that Shangguan Qingcheng is not satisfied either.
At noon that day, when the army was resting, Shangguan Qingcheng walked up to Li Ye, "Your Highness, our troops have penetrated tens of miles into Dengzhou, and the distance from Dengzhou is only a day's journey. It stands to reason that Zhu Wen has already known about our army's movements. At this time, if he intends to fight our army, then his part should not be far away from us."
Holding the water bag, Li Ye raised his head and took a big gulp. He wiped his mouth and said, "If Zhu Wen doesn't want to fight with me, he will hide in the city. We will not encounter much resistance all the way to Dengzhou City."
Shangguan Qingcheng said: "Yes."
Li Ye hung the water bag on the side of the saddle, got on the horse, and said to Shangguan Qingcheng: "Don't think about it, based on what I know about Zhu Wen, as long as there is still a little possibility to break the situation and improve the situation, he will not give up. In my opinion, his part should not be far away from us."
As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, scouts on the official road galloped back and rushed to Li Ye and Shangguan Qingcheng to report: "Report! Twenty miles ahead, we found rebellious cavalry, about 5,000 cavalry, just ahead of them." Run at full speed!"
"Look, isn't this here?" Li Ye smiled at Shangguan Qingcheng.
Shangguan Qingcheng's face was stern, he jumped up with his fists clasped, landed on the horse's back, reined in the horse, and shouted orders to the left and right: "The bandit army's five thousand horsemen have arrived in front of us, all the officers and men obey the order, follow this general to meet the enemy! "
Li Ye joined the army and did not exaggerate his identity, so not everyone in Langya knew his identity, and it was still Shangguan Qingcheng's duty to command the battle.
Li Ye came to experience the taste of fighting on the battlefield and to ensure the victory of the Spikes, not from a trap. If Zhu Wen knew that he was coming, wouldn't he have to dispatch troops and mobilize tens of thousands of troops to encircle him
All three thousand wolf teeth got on their horses, but they didn't immediately pull away and gallop. The land in front of me was quite open, with farmland and wilderness on both sides of the official road, quite flat, suitable for cavalry to charge and fight, and waiting for work at leisure was always a good choice, there was no need to waste energy for nothing.

"Report! The rebellious army has reached fifteen miles away!" The scout reported again.
Shangguan Qingcheng's face was cold: "Explore again!"
When I was young, the scouts reported: "The rebellious army has reached ten miles away!"
"Explore again!"
"The rebellious army has reached five miles away, and the killer is coming!"
"All officers and men listen to the order, strike the arrows!"
Shangguan Qingcheng took off the horse's spear, held it up straight, and clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the war horse moved slowly.
The whole column, from front to back, moved gradually, and the speed became faster and faster, from slow to fast to galloping, orderly.
All of a sudden, the sound of horseshoes stomping on the ground, three thousand fine horsemen galloped forward, and the array of frontal arrows gradually took shape. When the speed of the cavalry was fully increased and their momentum was ready, they saw the chaotic army appearing on the opposite side.
At first, it was just a black line, emerging on the horizon, and in a short while, the figure of the cavalry was revealed. The galloping posture of the horse was extremely vigorous and powerful. The horse lance in the hand is connected to everything, forming a thorny forest. Smoke spread from the ground like carpet waves.
The entire army formation is like a flood that has burst its embankment, with the momentum of sweeping everything, it is rushing towards Langya.
The sound of horseshoes thundered like thunder, making people's eardrums ache, but the soldiers of Langya City couldn't hear the sound of the opponent's horseshoes, and the sound of their own horseshoes had already drowned out all other sounds.
The soldiers in the front line can see the whole picture of the opponent's army, and the endless waves of iron armor make everyone feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. However, long-term training has made them accustomed to this kind of formation, and they know exactly what they want to do , what will be faced next, so no one panics.
The cavalry in the formation and behind the formation could only see the backs of their comrades, but the vibration of the ground was so violent that it clearly conveyed the signal that the two armies were about to join the formation. The enemy's cavalry rushed in and stabbed them off their horses with the long spears in their hands.
