Chapter 356 (1/2)

Naturally, the result was to enter the Lulong Army Air camp and be burned by a fire.

Fortunately, the Zuo Shence army was very elite. It was ambushed by fire attack and still had a good formation. It successfully broke out of the siege and returned to wulaoguan.

However, the 40000 troops lost 10000 in the first World War, and the remaining 30000 troops and horses were also extremely demoralized. They began to obey Zhang Zhenjun's order.

For a time, soldiers will be jealous and soldiers will be suspicious.

In addition, after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he slashed the salary of the Zuo Shence army, which was half less than the original, and was used to expand the palace garden.

The soldiers had great complaints and almost launched a mutiny. However, most of the generals promoted by Li Chengye in the past were loyal. A group of generals suppressed the mutiny with their own prestige. But the soldiers' resentment remained.

This time, Zhang Zhen once again led the defeat, and the resentment in the hearts of the soldiers grew day by day. Even Zhang Zhen, after perceiving the murderous spirit of grass-roots soldiers, did not dare to fight against these arrogant soldiers. Closed the door and installed a retracted turtle.

However, the stalemate at wulaoguan made Daming Palace extremely dissatisfied, because the war did not listen all day, but the loss of the national treasury increased day by day. The emperor wanted to have fun, but found that he was running out of money.

Under the guidance of Tian Lingzi's intentions, he issued several edicts and ordered Zhang Zhen to lead the army out of the Customs for a decisive battle!

Every imperial edict fell on his hand, just like a talisman, which made Zhang Zhen regret competing for this job.

He couldn't help but hate how he helped this stupid King succeed to the throne. The general's state affairs were regarded as a trifle! As the late emperor said on his deathbed, Li tangjiangshan will die in this man's hands sooner or later!

The ninth edict came. Even Zhang Zhen couldn't fight any more. Overnight, green silk was dyed and frosted, and people didn't know how old they were.

He convened the general assembly of the whole army. No matter how Zhang Zhen persuaded, threatened and lured at the meeting, the generals refused to go out of the city to fight for various reasons.

Zhang Zhen was very angry and single. He took out the military order and forced the whole army to assemble and fight out of the city.

As a result, as soon as the order came out, someone opened the gate and welcomed Lu Long's army outside the city into the martial prison.

The traitors assisted Lu Longjun, and the Zuo Shence army was defeated again. This time, the whole army collapsed without even killing the enemy.

It was the fastest defeat since the left Shence army became an army!

In the end, only over 10000 soldiers had time to run back to God, and even God didn't stay long.

The defeated army didn't listen to Zhang Zhen's orders and plundered in the bustling city of Luoyang, so they coerced Zhang Zhen and many other generals to run back to Tongguan.

As for the other left Shence armies in wulaoguan, they either escaped on horseback and occupied the mountain as king, or directly surrendered to the Lulong army, which was cited as the main force by the Lulong army, making the rebel army more prosperous,

The news came back to Chang'an. Even Tian Lingzi, who plotted against Zhang Zhen, was foolish. He didn't expect that the world's first elite Zuo Shence army would be defeated so miserably and so quickly!

Originally, he just wanted to let Zhang Zhenwei go, frustrated by the arrogant and fierce general, so as to pave the way for driving him down from the position of general of the left Shence army in the future.

Who knows that Zhang Zhen is more cruel than him. He directly defeated 40000 elite to just over 10000.

Now the rebels are powerful. Once they attack the Shendu of Luoyang with only 10000 people, how can they defend Tongguan? If Tongguan is lost again, how can Chang'an keep it? Just rely on the right Shence troops in Beijing?

Tian Lingzi did not face the cowardice and corruption of the right Shence army. After comforting the anxious emperor, he planned to personally review the right Shence army to see if he could pull it out and fight.

As a result, the right Shence army heard again that they would be sent to fight. All the rich and powerful children in the army fled. Pay to hire the beggars, widows, old and weak, disabled and sick in the city to fight for themselves.
