Chapter 698： Burn out in a handful of fire! !

Bai Jingzhong drove straight in, heading north like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. He was really smug for a while, and the counselors around him flattered like a tide, and gradually he began to float away!

Bai Jingzhong is a dual personality. On the one hand, he is timid and cautious. On the other hand, he is aggressive and ambitious. Starting from his dispatch of troops, he has driven all the way and swept the land with more than 100,000 troops. He is basically invincible. It's all inevitable, so he has determined that Lu Zheng is the end of the crossbow and cannot fight.

On this day, the Lingnan Army's military front pointed directly at the city of Langzhou, which is located in the north of Hubei and Guangxi. This area is also a granary, but occasionally you can see the undulating hills.

It's really autumn. The Qingsha tent outside the city is very eye-catching. Walking north from the pipeline, you have to walk through a place where Jizidu. There is a hill in the back and a canyon in front of it. The canyon is more than ten feet high. The canyon, in front of which is the green yarn tent.

Bai Jingzhong passed through the gorge, raised his eyes, and you could see Langzhou City in the distance. He laughed at Yang Jie and said: "Mr. Yang, Lu Zheng is also a man who knows soldiers. If he is really capable of fighting with me, This place is definitely a place for first-class soldiers!

The Jizi crossing the river is wide, and the official roads here are still dangerous to guard, but there are no soldiers guarding these places, which really makes the soldiers laugh! "

Yang Jie laughed loudly and said: "The lord said it was reasonable, not that he didn't know, but he couldn't! According to the news from the scouts, many cities in front of the city were no longer defended by soldiers. There was no other reason. Time!

In Lu Zheng’s thoughts, every time we occupy a city, we will inevitably be on the list and be stationed there. If he abandons more than a dozen cities to us, the lord will need to take out tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to occupy these cities. In the future, the military strength will inevitably be weakened.

And he concentrated the superior forces of the Nanfu Army in Jiangning, Yangzhou and Jinling, waiting for work, and fighting decisively with the lord. I have to say that Lu Zheng’s idea is still very good, but he can expect the lord to see through him long ago. trick? "

"Haha!" Bai Jingzhong laughed, feeling extremely happy, and said: "If that's the case, it can really contain me. After all, Zhongyuan Broad, although we have more than 100,000 elite soldiers, we occupy these important places separately, and then come out. Bang Anmin, it takes time to appease the Quartet, Jinling can have a respite.

But now that I have seen through his tricks, how can I let him do it? Now we take Langzhou and spend the night in Langzhou, and then we will continue to go northward to Huanglong! Haha! "

Bai Jingzheng said this, and immediately came flattering like a tidal surge. These flatterers were mostly generals and counsellors in the Lingnan Army, and most of these counselors were local experts in Lingnan. Look at their sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, with dark skin and short stature. If they go to the Central Plains, they are usually discriminated against!

This time they followed Bai Jingzhong to slaughter the Quartet in the Central Plains, which undoubtedly gave their vanity a great satisfaction. From their bones, they believed that the Nanfu Army in the south of the Yangtze River was defeated and vulnerable, so flattering was from the bottom of the heart!

The power of flattering from the heart is naturally unusual, and Bai Jingzhong immediately ordered the army to speed up and head straight to Langzhou.

Similarly, the official roads of Langzhou City are lined with green gauze tents. The sorghum has just been eared, and the stalks are still in the field. At a glance, there is no end in sight.

Bai Jingzhong let the army move forward at full speed, and many soldiers simply shuttled among the green gauze tents, assuming a posture to form an encirclement and head towards Langzhou.

I have to say, judging from the sky, it's almost dusk now, and speeding up the march and entering Langzhou City to rest before dark is the mind of most soldiers and generals. This is unavoidable to make eager efforts.

I don’t know anyone who yelled: "Oh, it’s not good, it seems that some people are on fire!" With this shout, some generals' hairs were erected, and the organic policeman immediately reported to Bai respectfully, saying:

"Lord, the sky is dry and everything is dry here, and there are green gauze tents all around. What if there is a fire or the enemy uses fire to attack? Just now some soldiers have discovered that there seems to be a fire shining!"

Bai Jing raised his brows, and said coldly: "Look at the city in front. We are only ten miles away from that city. The city is within easy reach. At this time, the enemy will know that our power is unstoppable and inevitable with a little bit of common sense. Already shrunk in it, or just ran away, do they dare to set fire? Haha!"

Yang Jie said, "You only know about setting fires, but at this time you look at the direction of the wind. The north wind is blowing at this time. We are walking from the south to the north. Can they burn us?"

When Yang Jie said this, the other counsellors all laughed. The general who came to report was flushed and retreated. Bai Jing waved his big hand and continued to command the army under his hand to move forward.

Gradually, the sky became darker and darker, and the city in front was getting closer and closer, and the leading army had almost reached the bottom of the city. At this moment, thick smoke suddenly appeared behind him!

Thick smoke billowed, and immediately red appeared on the horizon, and then the north wind hung up, and the billowing heat wave swept over Bai Jingzhong’s army. Bai Jingzhong was drinking and having fun with the counsellors on the steps, and suddenly he saw heavy smoke rising behind him. , I was shocked for a while.

"Report, lord, it's not good, the big thing is not good! The enemy attacked with fire and lit the green gauze tent behind us. I'm waiting to be stolen now!"

Bai Jingzhong's face sank, and he said, "What are you panicking? Keep walking forward and rush forward!!!"

Bai Jingzhong stepped down from the footsteps, put on his armour and mounted his horse. He held the weapon and led the soldiers to attack Langzhou City. At this time, his speed was very fast, and the speed of the fire was even faster.

When the north wind blows, the anger of the green gauze tent can sweep hundreds of feet away in an instant, thick smoke is growing in the distance, and the heat wave is rolling in at an incredible speed. How can the flesh and blood resist such a sea of ​​flames? The Lingnan Army mutated in an instant, and one by one spread their feet and ran forward to avoid their lives. Those who had no time to escape were flooded by the sea of ​​fire, and the Lingnan Army fell into extreme terror and panic.

Bai Jing gritted his teeth and rushed forward with all his might. The generals around him looked around and smashed under Langzhou City and above Langzhou City. Suddenly, a lot of camphor oil, tung oil, and boiling oil fell from the sky. Then the torch was dropped, and the green gauze tent not far below the city wall was quickly ignited!

The Lingnan army who originally wanted to attack the city only saw a sea of ​​flames on all sides. Where they dared to attack easily, their morale collapsed, and they broke up and fled!

The green gauze tent burned, and the whole world was alive. In fact, not many people were burned to death. The key is that the smoke billowed. Many people were caught by the smoke by surprise, and soon choked by the smoke, and choked without much effort. dead!

Bai Jingzhong was originally full of ambition, but suddenly encountered such an impact, his dual personality fell to the other side. There was no hope for Langzhou City to siege, and it was getting late again. He could only run north of Langzhou City? But the north is also a green yarn tent, where can he go to a safe place?

Fortunately, the cavalry under his hands also had horses, and the lord had fled for his life. Naturally, this group of cavalry had to flee for their lives. They fought and fled, regardless of the war.

Hundreds of thousands of horses were in chaos and fled for their lives. The Lingnan army had never experienced such scenes. In fact, the fire of the Qingsha tents came fiercely and went fast, but wherever the fire burned, there was only a piece of black ash left, and there would never be any more. Safety is in danger. If you are really smart, you only need to hide in the place where the fire has burned, and you can quickly get out of the crisis.

Or some people say how to get around the place where the fire has been burned? The reason is simple, because the direction of the wind is constantly changing, and the fire is completely following the wind. As long as you see the direction of the wind, it is easy to find the demarcation point where the fire burns, and then go against the wind direction to cross the demarcation point, and you can escape the nightmare of being chased by the fire.

Just at such a tense moment, how could the Lingnan Army think of this? Even if there are some smart people who are lucky enough to find this trick, it can't represent the mainstream. What's more important is that the Lingnan Army has more than 100,000 horses, so it will be chaotic if they run for their lives blindly.

Once they were in chaos, Lu Zheng's cavalry galloped across the burned black land, and when they saw the living creatures they became the harvesting machines of life!

The appearance of the Lingnan Army is very easy to recognize. In the dark night, as long as you see a dark shadow and say a code, the other party does not understand it, you can be sure that the other party is the Lingnan Army!

Lu Zheng asked Su Zhi to lead five thousand cavalrymen to open the middle door and rush out, following the direction of the fire. This chaos, killing countless, poor one hundred thousand Lingnan army arrived in Langzhou City with one hundred thousand pigs to be slaughtered.

Su Zhi was defeated in Hengzhou, and she always felt aggrieved and uncomfortable in her heart! The news of that defeat spread to the capital and Jinling, and caused a lot of criticism in the court. The Su family was even under tremendous pressure because of this. Under such circumstances, can Su Zhi perform badly today?

After a night of killing, Su Zhi was covered in blood. When he returned with the cavalry, he counted dozens of enemies killed by Yue, and the soldiers around him also claimed that they had killed a lot of people, including three, five. People, there are more than a dozen people! In this way, in the first day of the first day of the first year, tens of thousands of Lingnan troops were killed yesterday night!

In addition to those who were burned to death by the fire, and those who were trampled to death in the process of being chased by the fire, the Lingnan Army was known as an army of hundreds of thousands, and at least half of the casualties were injured!

Bai Jingzhong fled northwards for more than a hundred miles before finding a safe place with the assistance of his men. Then he returned to the team again, only more than 10,000 people on the first day.

On the second day and the third day, there were only more than 50,000 people. The group of people who were re-examining themselves were exhausted. Many of them were wounded. Bai Jingzheng foamed from the mouth of the horse under his crotch, and almost died. In this case, the former Lingnan Army All his ambitions have vanished, Bai Jingzhong now only wants to go back!

However, it is easy for Bai Jingzhong to come in, but it is very rare to go back. Every city above the official road has become a new fortress, dare to believe that after taking the city, Bai Jingzhong will not be on the list, and will not be guarded by soldiers. However, Lu Zheng arranged soldiers in the city from behind. There were not many soldiers, but it was too difficult for Bai Jing to attack the city when his morale fell!

More importantly, Lu Zheng’s elite cavalry harassed all the way from Langzhou, especially at the canyon of Jizidu, where Bai respectfully pointed the country at the time. He claimed that if he used soldiers, he would set up ambush at Jizidu no matter what. The enemy paid a huge price.

And Lu Zheng didn't let him down either. He set up an ambush at Jizidu, causing Bai Jingzhong to lose at least 5,000 people into the river. Bai Jingzhong fled from Jizidu and continued to flee south. He encountered an ambush in Lingzhou and lost thousands of men and horses. He lost his helmet and armor for the city along the way. When he reached the city of Hengzhou, he looked around. , There are only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left.

Bai Jingzhong saw the group of soldiers who were like mourning dogs around him, and couldn't help crying "Wow". He said, "I regret that I shouldn't listen to Sun Chongwen's bewilderment and sent troops to Jiangnan rashly. After this defeat, Lingnan is dangerous!"

Bai Jing respected this cry. The gang of counsellors around him panicked. At the critical moment, Yang Jie leaned forward and said, "Lord, there is no need to worry about firewood burning in the green mountains. Although the lord failed this time, Lu Zheng didn’t. I want to kill them all. In fact, a careful analysis of the situation in the DPRK, the current situation is not difficult to understand. Lu Zheng is in the south of the Yangtze River and has already caused a lot of jealousy. Can you reap the benefits!"

When Yang Jie said this, Bai Jingzhong stopped crying. He cast his eyes on Yang Jie, his lips lifted and he stopped talking. From Lingnan all the way north, Bai Jingzhong was originally very calm and cautious. The key is that Yang Jie behaved aggressively everywhere, allowing him to fight the day and night, no matter what, he must quickly go north and go straight to Huanglong.

In the end, Bai Jing Huanglong did not succeed in smashing it. Instead, he lost his helmet and abandoned his armor. More than a hundred thousand soldiers and horses died in Jiangnan. His heart was really bleeding. But can Bai Jingzhong blame Yang Jie at this time? As a counselor, they gave him advice, but they didn't let him follow his plan! If the counselor is planning, the decision-maker still respects himself in vain. If he turns his face with Yang Jie because of this incident, won't the world's geniuses' hearts be chilled from now on?

With a long sigh, Bai respectfully said: "Mr. Yang, if we are not so eager for quick success and quick profit after we conquer Hengzhou, we will consolidate every city we attack. At this time, we hold more than a dozen cities, with a population of one million, and there are more than ten. Ten thousand troops are enough to contend with the Jiangnan Chamber, why have they fallen to the present situation?"

Yang Jie was taken aback for a moment, and an embarrassment appeared on his face. For a long time, he said, "Master, this is all my responsibility. I should have tried hard to persuade you not to rush forward. Now this is the end of the matter. We can only consider the long-term plan! Fortunately, after we return to Lingnan, there is still a chance to make a comeback!

The first thing we have to consider now is how to control the situation in Lingnan, and we must first eliminate those powerful and powerful people who dare to oppose the lord, and then North Map! "

Bai Jingzhong's face changed, and his mood became even more uncomfortable. Yang Jie's words came to his heart. Indeed, although Lingnan has become the king with respect and respect, he is not the only powerful family in the Bai family.

There are chieftains everywhere in Lingnan, and there are also many local power magnates. These magnates surrendered to Bai Jingzhong before, because Bai Jingzhong possessed the most powerful strength in his hands. But now that Bai Jingzhong has led tens of thousands of horses back home in a hurry after Jiangnan's loss of soldiers and soldiers, can Lingnan still be as peaceful as before? Obviously, things are now full of variables!

Jiangnan suffered a disastrous defeat, misfortunes never come singly, and Lingnan's situation has undergone subtle changes as a result. Bai Jingzhen's mood is really terrible, and his intestines are as uncomfortable as dust! He said: "This time I came to Jiangnan and lost soldiers and soldiers, but I also saw the style of Lu Zheng, the number one talented person in Dakang! This son is really the best in the world, and future Dakang will depend on this person. If this person is blessed, Or this can bring the whole world back again..."
