Chapter 203 Anti-pit Zhao Pu

Li Chuyun led the elite cavalry and rushed towards Gao Ji. The little boy actually wanted to kill him, and he was unforgivable.

At this time, he was in his prime, like a tiger descending a mountain. On the other hand, Gao Jichong, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and is ready to use the other party to achieve his fame.

As the two got closer, Gao Jichong lit a silver spear in his hand and made a sudden sting at Li Chuyun. When Li Chuyun saw the other party's speed, he knew that he had underestimated the other party. He immediately calmed down and responded carefully, blocked the spear with force.

Gao Jichong was determined to win a shot, but was blocked by Li Chuyun's force and the spear flew directly into the air. Not only that, Li Chuyun's spear stabbed into his chest instead.

Gao Jichong leaned back and put his back on the horse's back. The opponent's spear flew over less than two inches from his body. The red tassel tied to the tip of the spear slid over Gao Jichong's face, smashing his pride to pieces.

Gao Jichong thrust his waist and abdomen, sat upright on the horse's back, and ignored the cavalry on both sides who were fighting each other and turned his head to chase Li Chuyun. As long as he took this person, he would win this battle.

The same is true for Li Chuyun. He needs Gao Jichong's head to clean up the humiliation he brought to himself today, otherwise if it spreads, how could he gain a foothold in the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty?

Both of them didn't care about anything else and sprinted towards each other with all their might. Just as the two got closer and less than thirty steps, Gao Jizheng's mouth showed a hint of cunning. He loosened the reins with his left hand and took out a small arm crossbow from the cloth bag next to the stirrup. He relied on his legs to maintain his horse's posture. This was brought by Manager Su from Jianzhou Trading Company. Sun Yu gave him the bodyguard. The arm span was only one and a half feet and a half, and three pure iron crossbow arrows were built in. They were fired at the same time, and could penetrate the armor within thirty steps.

Before, Gao Jichong was arrogant and felt that he could take Li Chuyun, but he was able to capture it. It was not until the two of them really fought that they felt that the other party's strength was only above him. Gao Jichong raised his arm crossbow, aimed at Li Chuyun who was racing on a horse, pulled the trigger, and three short crossbow arrows flashed by.

Li Chuyun saw the other party's arm crossbow and knew that it was not good, but it was too late to turn the horse's head. He danced the spear with his right hand quickly, forming a barrier in front of him, hoping to block the crossbow arrow.

With a "ding" sound, the touch from the spear was blocked.

Li Chuyun, who had not yet been happy, suddenly felt a black line in front of him, and quickly turned his body and a short crossbow arrow flew past him.

"Shameless, there are two crossbow arrows." Li Chuyun cursed in his heart. Fortunately, he was quick to move, otherwise this trick would be useless.

"Your mother..." His arm hurt a sharp pain. Without bowing his head, Li Chuyun knew that it was a crossbow arrow, but there were actually three. Before he could think about anything else, Gao Jichong had already rushed to the front, and another sudden stab was made by the bright silver spear. Li Chuyun endured the severe pain and prepared to use his spear to respond to the enemy.

Li Chuyun's spear once again blocked Gao Jichong's bright silver spear, but because of insufficient strength, Gao Jichong continued to stab forward and stabbed Li Chuyun's shoulder. Gao Jichong directly abandoned the spear and pulled out the long sword from his waist. In Li Chuyun's surprise, he slapped his neck with a knife, and blood suddenly gushed out. If both arms were not injured, Li Chuyun would not take this knife seriously at all. He had enough ways to avoid it, but on the battlefield, there was no assumption.

"The enemy general is killed, you will follow me to kill the enemy!" Although the methods are not very glorious, this is Li Chuyun and Zhao Song's top general. Who can erase this fame?

The heavy armored infantry, who was originally in danger, heard this and followed Gao Jizhong.

He shouted, and another incredible force burst out, trying to close the gap opened by the cavalry.

The more than a thousand cavalry that escaped first, most of them were scattered in birds and beasts when Li Chuyun died. Gao Jichong did not chase and only took his own cavalry and firmly guarded the outside of the infantry. The remaining four thousand cavalry had to be eaten no matter what. With this batch of war horses, and with the cavalry he already had, he could completely pull up a five or six thousand elite cavalry, which was enough to traverse the Jingchu land.

The crossbowmen who were originally on the urn in the city were all transferred to the city gate and faced the cavalry below. The heavily armored infantry cooperated with the spearmen and pressed forward step by step. Gao Jichong and the cavalry were eyeing each other in the rear. More than 4,000 cavalry without a leader were originally enough to break through the siege, but they missed the opportunity and became lambs to be slaughtered.

Murong Yanzhao led a large army to cross the river by the Yangtze River, making a stance to cross the river and enter Chu. In fact, he was waiting for news from Li Chuyun. Although the combat plan given by the government was generally fine, there were many changes in the battle formation, and he was not sure if there was no definite news.

"What, you're extremely incompetent!" At midnight, Murong Yanzhao was woken up from the tent by his subordinates. Most of the more than a thousand cavalry fled under Jiangling City came to Murong Yanzhao's army. As soon as the dozens of cavalry who led the lead arrived, the news of the defeat spread throughout the army.

"If you inform me, all the soldiers crossing the river will retreat." Murong Yanzhao's heart was bleeding, and the entire six thousand elite cavalry were buried by Li Chuyun. It was not enough for him to die ten times.

"Come here, 800 miles in a hurry, and send it to Kaifeng to the official family." Murong Yanzhao had no choice. There was a problem with the combat plan given by Zhao Kuangyin, so he had to report it quickly. He would not dare to cross the river no matter what, otherwise the other party would pinch the logistics, and his 50,000 troops would not be able to bear it. It would take only ten days to collapse.

"No, give it to the Privy Council. Be sure to hand it over to the Privy Councillor Zhao Pu and Zhao in person." As soon as the personal soldiers were about to go out with the letter, Murong Yanzhao suddenly changed his mind. Li Chuyun was recommended by Zhao Pu, and he also has the responsibility for this matter. I dare to cheat me. Since I have the chance, Murong Yanzhao is not a mud.

Then Murong Yanzhao brought the 50,000 army back the same way, and went back to the Han River to station, waiting for the imperial decree.

Speaking of which, Nanchu was not idle either. Zhang Wenbiao had already led the army to continue to attack cities and plunder, hoping to completely eliminate Zhou Baoquan and stay as the Wuping Army. Zhou Baoquan was not idle either. He appointed Yang Shifu as the Sima of the Wuping Army, raised an army to fight against rebellion, and he also won over people and was ready to counterattack at any time.

The weather in Kaifeng Prefecture has been clear and relatively warm these days. Zhao Pu finally walked out of the room with charcoal fire, wearing a cloak, and exerted his muscles and bones. Although he was a Privy Councilor, he had to leave the Privy Council for all military affairs, in fact, all the generals handed the memorial directly to the imperial court. He was just as he assigned food and grass to the army and wiped his butts according to the instructions of the official.

"Sir Zhao, are you idle?" Shen Yilun's Ministry of Revenue has been relatively idle recently. After all, just after the Chinese New Year, the books and supplies from all over the country have not arrived yet. When he is free, he comes to the Privy Council office to check it out. After all, he also has the title of Deputy Privy Councilor, and occasionally showing up, which is a fulfillment of his duty.

"Who said no? It's just after the Chinese New Year, and the Ministry of War, only General Murong's side has prepared all the things." The combat plan has nothing to do with him. They are all in charge of the official guidance, and the military supplies are ready, just waiting to receive good news.

"This time, Lord Zhao made great contributions to the land of Jingchu, and this will take further." Chen Yilun

In this regard, I knew very well that whether this strategy of Jing Chu first or this suggestion for military use was proposed by Zhao Pu, and the credit could not be eliminated. Once the three clay prime ministers retreated, they would inevitably have Zhao Pu's place. I was still a little envious. That was the ultimate dream of a civil servant.

"Mr. Shen's words are wrong. This time, they all rely on the officials' far-sightedness and the soldiers' lives. I have only fulfilled the duties of a minister, how can I take credit for it?" Zhao Pu waved his hand and invited Chen Yilun to sit down and have tea. The credit is all from the top. As for whether he has it, it depends on the meaning above. Giving it to you is yours. If he doesn't give it to you, you can't even think about it. Zhao Pu can climb to this position because he can see the situation clearly.

"Master Zhao is a talented person, I am not as good as the official position." Chen Yilun shook his head. Zhao Pu is not very knowledgeable and still has a good personality. No wonder he can ride on his own.

"Realistically, this army should have arrived in Nanping. Jiangling City has almost been taken down. In just two days, news should be coming." The stone tablet of the Privy Council was engraved with a complete map. Zhao Pu stood up and looked carefully and said. He didn't know the specific combat strategy explained by the official, but he knew clearly when the army would set off. After estimating it, he would know where it was.

"This matter is probably passed to the official family first, so let's wait patiently." Chen Yilun was not in a hurry. This matter was basically a foregone conclusion. It would be fine if he knew it earlier or was later.

"Eight hundred miles to speed up, get out of here!" Just as Zhao Pu was having tea and chatting with Chen Yilun, a fast horse galloped on the streets of Kaifeng Prefecture, and ordinary people avoided it. Even the yamen runners who patrol the streets stood against the corner. This was eight hundred miles to speed up, and whoever dared to stop it was going to be beheaded, let alone the little people like them, the powerful and powerful.

The commander rode his horse all the way to the gate of the Privy Council, turned over and dismounted. He wanted to run in, but he collapsed on the ground. Because he had been on the horse for too long, his legs had become numb. When the guards at the door saw this posture, the two of them stepped forward, and each of them set up the commander and walked inside.

"Who is the Privy Councilor Zhao? General Murong's eight hundred miles of speed up." The messenger was carried into the yard and looked up. The two big men were sitting inside drinking tea. The letter must be handed to the Privy Councilor Zhao in person and must be asked clearly.

"I am the Privy Councilor Zhao Pu." Zhao Pu got up, twisted his beard lightly, and stepped forward to take the letter. Although Murong Yanzhao was rude that day, he didn't care about the fact that he had sent good news to the Privy Council for eight hundred miles.

The old god Zhao Pu was sitting down and opened the seal of the fire lacquer. There was only a piece of paper in his heart, with only a hundred words on it. Zhao Pu saw it almost at a glance.

"This, how is this possible?" Zhao Pu's hand was shaking. He thought he had read it wrong, so he carefully read it one by one, but the result was the same. Zhao Pu felt that the sky was about to fall. Murong Yanzhao was so cruel, he was really cruel. He handed this hot potato to his hands.

"Mr. Zhao, what's wrong? Why is he so out of control?" Chen Yilun was puzzled. He was still full of energy just now, but why did he feel like he was in a flash of trouble? What's in this letter?

"You, see for yourself." Zhao Pu trembled with his hand and handed the letter to Chen Yilun. This was a problem.

"This, how is it possible that General Li Chuyun was really defeated and died?" Chen Yilun walked to the messenger and shouted.
