subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 124 Zhang Cunjing Slays 3 Generals

Zhu Wen was indeed a little tired, exchanged some pleasantries with Zhang Cunjing, and then went back to the tent to rest.

But not long after Zhu Wen fell asleep, he heard people in the camp neighing. Zhu Wen sat up in a jolt, and his drowsiness was immediately thrown away. A thought flashed in his mind: "Cao Quanzhen's men are coming to attack the camp!"

Zhu Wen hurriedly put on his cloak, raised his long knife and left. As soon as he went out, he happened to meet Xu Huaiyu who was rushing to report.

Xu Huaiyu said: "Yes, General Zhu Zhenzhu has mobilized troops to resist, and he ordered me to be responsible for protecting the general's safety."

Zhu Wen nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look too." Then he got on his horse with a knife and galloped towards the noisy place.

Zhu Wen saw that although people in the camp were neighing, they were not as chaotic as imagined, but assembled in an orderly manner at the noisy place of the forward camp.It seems that the enemy army who attacked the camp did not succeed in their sneak attack and had not yet entered the camp. Zhu Wen felt a little relieved.

Zhu Wen, who was far away, saw Zhu Zhen commanding the battle on the battlefield, quite like a general.

Now the enemy army attacking the camp has been completely surrounded by their own troops, rushing from left to right in the camp like a headless chicken, but no matter how they rush, they can't escape the encirclement formed by Zhu Zhen.The enemy was surrounded by about a thousand people, and many corpses had fallen in the pool of blood on the ground, most of them were the enemy's troops.

Zhu Wen couldn't help admiring Zhu Zhen, the younger brother, and thought, "This kid is really good at fighting. If he had been allowed to open a small restaurant with me back then, wouldn't he have been wronged?"

Seeing Zhu Wenwen and Xu Huaiyu approaching, Zhu Zhen saw that the situation on the battlefield was basically settled, so she patted her horse and greeted Zhu Wen, and said excitedly: "Third brother, Cao Quanzhen sent his son Cao Yi to lead 2000 troops to attack the camp. Zhang Cunjing in the head found out and reported it to me in time, so I was able to arrange it calmly and let them become the turtle in the urn."

Zhu Wen said "Oh", and said with a smile: "It seems that Zhang Cunjing is most credited this time!"

Zhu Zhen pretended to be aggrieved, and said, "No way! Your brother, I've been busy for a long time, why don't you report a letter to him?"

Zhu Wen smiled and said, "That's right! If he hadn't found the sneak attacking enemy army, how would the battle situation be? Maybe the enemy set fire to our camp and you are still sleeping."

Zhu Zhen smiled awkwardly and said: "Hehe, then I will give credit to that elm head, anyway, you have already agreed to promote him to captain, this kid should be content."

Zhu Wen looked at the battlefield with a smile, and said meaningfully: "It seems that being a small captain still feels a little wronged to him, look!"

Zhu Zhen and Xu Huaiyu looked at the battlefield and saw that Zhang Cunjing was holding a hooked spear, followed by a dozen or so rebels. Zhang Cunjing led the way, and the hooked spear flew up and down. Will.The enemy's fighting spirit was completely lost under the heavy siege. Now, after several rounds of charges by a fierce general like Zhang Cunjing, the defensive formation instantly collapsed.

Seeing Zhang Cunjing's extraordinary bravery, Cao Yi, the eldest son of Cao Quanzhen, held his spear in his hand and rode his horse to fight. Cao Yi was also considered brave in the army. He stabbed directly at Zhang Cunjing's rib.

At this time, two Tang generals were fighting with Zhang Cunjing. Zhang Cunjing had no time to deal with Cao Yi's attack, and the situation was very critical.

Zhu Wen, who was watching the battle from the back of the formation, yelled softly: "Not good!"

Zhu Zhen leaped on horseback and charged towards the formation, but he was far away. When he rushed to the front of the formation, he might have to collect Zhang Cunjing's body.Zhu Wenwen and Zhu Zhen were extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

At this critical moment, Zhang Cunjing hooked his sickle spear to Hui Yiyi, and hooked one of the two Tang generals who were entangled with him off his horse.At this time, Cao Yi's spear was only half a foot away from Zhang Cunjing's left rib. The speed and power of the thunderous strike assisted by the high-speed sprinting horse were by no means light. Stab Zhang Cunjing in half.

At this critical moment, Zhang Cunjing twisted his waist and sat on his hips on the horse, and twisted his body. Cao Yi's spear pierced the light armor on Zhang Cunjing's back, and the spear pierced against the flesh of Zhang Cunjing's back.Cao Yi pierced the air with his spear, but couldn't hold back his momentum. He rushed towards Zhang Cunjing with his man and horse.

Zhang Cunjing had no time to care about the burning pain on his back. He handed over the hook and scythe to his left hand, and turned the gun sharply. The point of the gun just met Cao Yi's chest. His left arm exerted force, and even lifted Cao Yi up. , Fiery blood flowed down the barrel of the gun.

At this time, the spear of another Tang general next to him had already pierced Zhang Cunjing's right rib. Zhang Cunjing was too late to dodge, and it was even too late to resist, so he stretched out his right hand in desperation, and grabbed the enemy general's spear.

In terms of martial arts and strength, Zhang Cunjing was far superior to the enemy general, but at this time the enemy general used the sprinting power of the horse and the strength of his whole body to launch a full blow.Zhang Cunjing grabbed the enemy's gun with only one hand in a hurry, how could he resist it?

He only felt a burning pain in the palm of his hand, then felt a coldness in his ribs, and then a sharp pain in his heart.Zhang Cunjing yelled, and pulled out the long spear that was pierced in his right rib, and suddenly exerted force with his right arm, Tang Jiang, who was holding the handle of the gun, led him off the horse.

Due to Zhang Cunjing's excessive force, blood gushed out from the wound under his right rib, Zhang Cunjing couldn't care less about wrapping the wound, so he reined in the horse rein, the horse neighed and stood up, and when the iron hoof fell, it happened to be there Tang, who was about to struggle to get up, carried it on his back.General Tang let out a miserable cry, and there was a clear sound of bones breaking from his back, and a big mouthful of blood spurted out wildly, and he fell to the ground and died.

Zhang Cunjing completed this series of actions in just a moment.

The enemy army saw that their main general was killed, and also saw that Zhang Cunjing was so brave that he killed three of his own generals in a row, including the main general.Suddenly no one dared to step within ten steps of Zhang Cunjing.

Seeing that Zhang Cunjing was injured, the rebel soldiers behind Zhang Cunjing hurried forward to protect Zhang Cunjing. At this moment, Zhang Cunjing felt weak all over, dizzy in his head, and his face was frighteningly pale.Looking down, blood was still flowing from a shocking wound under his right rib, the light armor on his body was soaked with blood, and there was a burst of burning pain on his back.

At this time, Zhu Zhen also led a team to arrive, and ordered a dozen or so soldiers around Zhang Cunjing to take good care of Zhang Cunjing, and ordered the military doctor to wrap his wound quickly.Afterwards, Zhu Zhen also rushed into the enemy's formation with her horse and gun. At this time, how could the enemy have any fighting spirit?He was charged and killed several times by Zhu Zhen and his troops, and they dropped their weapons one after another to express their surrender.

Xu Huaiyu and Zhu Zhen ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and deal with matters such as surrendering troops. They seized a lot of high-quality weapons and equipment such as knives, guns, bows and arrows, and even stripped off the enemy's slightly better armor.

Zhu Wen waited worriedly outside a nearby tent, pacing back and forth, and looked up at the curtain of the tent from time to time.The military doctor was bandaging Zhang Cunjing's wound in the tent. In fact, it wasn't long after the military doctor got Zhang Cunjing into the tent, and he didn't finish bandaging so quickly.It's just that Zhu Wen was concerned about Zhang Cunjing's injury. Although he only waited for a while, he felt very impatient, as if it had been a long time.

Finally, Zhu Wen saw the curtain of the tent lifted, and a military doctor in his 50s came out while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Zhu Wen hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is the elder who was injured in the ribs just now? Is there any danger to his life?" Although there are Zhu Zhen and Xu Huaiyu now, and Xu Huaiyu is the captain of his personal guard, Zhu Zhen is the only one in charge of other affairs, and it is really difficult for him.

Now I have finally found a fierce general who can charge into battle, and his personality is so cautious and selfless, so of course he must be treated well.Therefore, although Zhu Wen was very tired, he still waited outside the tent for news from Zhang Cunjing.

Seeing the commander's inquiry, the military doctor hurriedly replied: "General Zhu, the little general just now was seriously injured. Fortunately, it was only a skin injury, and did not hurt internal organs, muscles and bones. Some of them lost a lot of blood and were relatively weak. It should be fine in half a month."

Only then did Zhu Wen feel relieved, and told the military doctor: "I need to trouble the old man to take care of this little general these days, and don't let the injury worsen."

The military doctor saw that the commander cared so much about a small boss, and was grateful to Zhu Wen for his thoughtfulness to his subordinates.This old military doctor used to serve in the Tang army's Tanzhou barracks. After Tanzhou was taken by the rebels, he had no choice but to surrender to the rebels. He was a little unwilling at first, but now seeing Zhu Wen, the commander, being so considerate of his subordinates, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He said: "When I was in the imperial army, let alone the commander, how could the generals with higher positions care about the life and death of these junior officers?"

The old military doctor immediately said gratefully: "General Zhu is busy with military affairs, but he is so considerate of his subordinates. We are so lucky to be able to follow a general like you. This young general's injury is covered by the old man. Please don't use it, General Zhu." bother."

Zhu Wen said: "Then trouble the old man." Zhu Wen paused and said: "Can I go in and see him?"

The old military doctor was even more moved, and said: "Of course, it's just that the little general is a little weak and has already fallen asleep. I hope that General Zhu will not disturb him."

Zhu Wen smiled and said, "I understand."

When Zhu Wen came to the tent, he smelled a strong smell of blood and herbs. When he came to Zhang Cunjing's bed, he saw that Zhang Cunjing had already fallen into a deep sleep. Although his face was a little pale, he was breathing evenly. Obviously, there was nothing serious. .Then he got up and said goodbye.

As soon as I got back to my residence, I met Huang Ying who was aggressive. As soon as Huang Ying saw Zhu Wen, she yelled, "I heard that someone attacked the camp just now. How many people came? Why didn't you call me?"

Zhu Wen said with a smile: "If you wait for Miss Huang to come to defend against the enemy, I'm afraid our camp will be taken away by others now."

Huang Ying said angrily: "It's not all because of you, if you weren't so...well, why would I sleep so dead? It's all your fault!"

Zhu Wen hurriedly made a silent gesture, and said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, my aunt, are you afraid that others will not know about you?"

Huang Ying quickly stuck out her tongue, covered her mouth with her little hand, and looked around in horror. Fortunately, not many people paid attention to this side, so she was relieved.She smiled embarrassingly, and whispered: "Fortunately, no one heard it, otherwise I would have no face to face people."

Seeing Huang Ying's cute appearance, Zhu Wen was both happy and amused, and smiled deliberately: "Are you still afraid that people will know? I think you are afraid that others will not know!"

Huang Ying sternly sternly said, "I hate it!"
