The rebels were retreating, and the defenders of Pingcheng pressed forward step by step, and finally recaptured the lost city wall. Those rebels who continued to climb the walls were immediately killed and fell by the re-emerging defenders, and the siege ladders on the walls were destroyed by the defenders.

"It's not good, the Dragon and Tiger Battalion was cut off by the Pingcheng Army! Quickly, continue to storm the city wall, meet the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, if you can't do anything, order them to retreat!" Yang Ziang, the rebel general stationed in the south of the city, was full of confidence, and the ace army Dragon and Tiger Battalion he built with his own hands lived up to expectations, and quickly attacked the city wall, and quickly opened up the situation to help the follow-up personnel climb the city wall smoothly. Seeing that the range of activities of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion on the city wall was getting bigger and bigger, Yang Ziang thought that he was going to open the gap and become the first army to attack Pingcheng.

It's just that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and the defenders of Pingcheng have continuously appeared reinforcements, which not only quickly limited the control range of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, but also shrunk them, and also destroyed the siege ladder leading to the city. In this way, the Dragon and Tiger Battalion will not be able to get reinforcements, and it will not be able to retreat safely, so it will be annihilated!

The Dragon and Tiger Battalion is an elite army built by Yang Ziang with countless energy and financial resources in recent years, the number of only 200 people, it is he who integrated his own army and used his network to recruit a group of martial arts masters, and the ace army secretly formed after strict training, although the reputation is not obvious, but they have secretly carried out many secret tasks, their combat effectiveness has been fully demonstrated, and Yang Ziang cherishes this army even more. Now seeing that the Dragon and Tiger Battalion was in crisis, Yang Zi was in a hurry and launched the most fierce attack on the southern city wall.

The combat effectiveness of the people of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion is determined to be strong, under the powerful offensive of Ye Heng and others, although they are retreating one after another, but the loss of personnel is not large, after they are forced to narrow the battle circle, they fight with Ye Heng and others without the slightest fear.

Yang Ziang's army attacked frantically, and the pressure on the southern city suddenly increased, and the few remaining reserves in the city were all thrown into the battle, and after paying huge casualties, the city wall was finally defended.

"What should I do? We must not lose the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, we must find a way to rescue them!" Yang Ziang said anxiously when he saw that the siege was fruitless.

"General, you must make a decision immediately, I'm afraid the Dragon and Tiger Battalion won't last long!" one of his generals reminded.

"How can you make a decision on the spot, you have an idea!" Yang Ziang said hurriedly.

"General, then I'll make an idea, but you can't be angry after hearing it!" said Yang Ziang's general.

"If you have any ideas, you can tell me quickly, when is it, and you are still going around the bend like this!" Yang Ziang said dissatisfied.

"General, my idea is to have people secretly pass on an order, ordering the people of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion to give up resistance and save their lives first, and then we will find a way to ransom the defenders of Heping City. After all, we have some old feelings with Li Quan and Gao Lang, and we still have the hope of preserving the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, otherwise the Dragon and Tiger Palace will fight alone, and there will be more than one luck!" the general said.

"What are you talking about!" Yang Ziang roared angrily, his eyes were about to split, and the frightened general trembled and stopped speaking.

Yang Ziang gasped and pondered for a while, sighed gloomily, and said, "Wu Xu, just do as you say, order the army to slow down the siege of the city, and you go and order the Dragon and Tiger Battalion to surrender." ”

The general promised to give a quick order and left, Yang Ziang sighed, the whole person seemed to have lost support, instantly languished, and sighed: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place! I betrayed the empire with infamy, and now I beg my former colleagues to open up, Yang Ziang, Yang Ziang, you are really confused!"

"Dad, what should we do next? Once the Dragon Tiger Battalion lays down its weapons, we will have a handle in the hands of Han Kaiyuan, and I am afraid that he will be unfavorable to us. Yang Ziang's son Yang Linfeng asked.

Yang Ziang saw that there was no one else around, so he said to his son honestly: "My father is also very confused now! The Dragon and Tiger Camp is our last guarantee, so we must not lose anything." If you follow the Taiyin Sect all the way to the dark, then you must continue to fight and continue to fight with the army of the Shuntian Empire. In the end, you should also understand that the Taiyin Sect will not treat us as well as promised, we have been treated as pawns by others at will, and there is no other way but to perish. Even if you and I are lucky enough not to die, the future will definitely not be easy, and our Yang family is likely to face a catastrophe!"

"Dad, why don't we pick up our relatives at home, lead the troops to flee north, and take refuge in the Northwest Hou, maybe there is still a glimmer of life. Yang Linfeng said in a low voice.

Yang Ziang smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think the Taiyin Sect is defenseless? Our family members are afraid that they have already been monitored by the people of the Taiyin Sect, and if we make any changes, they will not be able to save their lives." ”

"Dad, in that case, why did you agree to the Taiyin Sect to betray the empire in the first place? Isn't this a plot with a tiger!" Yang Linfeng asked puzzled.

"Linfeng, this is not forced by the situation! Chen Shuizhou's army has almost become members of the Taiyin Sect from top to bottom, if I don't agree, how can our father and son survive until now?" Yang Ziang said helplessly, "After careful investigation by my father, I found that the Taiyin Sect has a very big plan, and we are involved in it, I am afraid that we will not die well!"

"So far, we are riding a tiger, Dad, what should we do, you can get an idea as soon as possible!" Yang Linfeng said.

"Linfeng, our father and son can't follow the Taiyin Sect anymore, if they break through Pingcheng, their next target is likely to be Linhan Prefecture, and even collude with the Yingtian Empire to threaten Dingkun Prefecture, and then our father and son will really become sinners of the empire!" Yang Ziang said excitedly, "They are not trying to become independent from the Shuntian Empire at all, and make Chen Shuizhou a place that is not under the control of the empire." Before, it was said that the attack on Guping Prefecture was to expand the scope of control and maintain its own security, but now it seems that this is a deceptive pretense. Today, we can hear from Han Kaiyuan's words, he knows more than us, and I don't feel that the Shangfeng he said is not necessarily the Taiyin Sect, you and I, father and son, seem to have been pulled onto a thief ship! Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser Kou, if the Taiyin Sect may succeed, it is not a big deal for us to betray the Shuntian Empire, since someone will whitewash us, saying that we are good birds and choose trees to perch on. It's a pity that the Taiyin Sect doesn't have the courage to become a king and a tyrant, we have to rein in the precipice as soon as possible!"

Yang Linfeng asked, "Dad, do you have an idea?"

Yang Ziang shook his head and said: "The idea has not been decided yet, however, we can't fight so hard this time to attack the city, we must preserve our strength just in case, and we will wait and see what happens next." As for my other arrangements at home, you don't have to worry. ”

"However, if our side is not good at attacking the city, I am afraid that Han Kaiyuan will not let us go. Yang Linfeng said worriedly.

"What are we afraid of now? Our Dragon and Tiger Battalion has been defeated, which means that we have done our best, and I don't believe what he can do to me before the siege is over! Even if this battle is over, whether it will be victory or defeat is still unknown, haven't you seen it, the information of the Taiyin Sect is wrong, there is a powerful force supporting them in Pingcheng, how easy is it for us to break the city!" Yang Ziang gradually regained his self-confidence, and his heart was a lot more stable.

"Then we can't make it too obvious, or we can make it look a little more sufficient?" Yang Linfeng asked with a smile.

"Good boy, your brain is turning fast enough, you go and arrange it, I'll go find Han Kaiyuan." Yang Ziang praised.

"Do you want me to go with you, I'm afraid he will be bad for you. Yang Linfeng asked.

"No, it's safer for me to be more open-minded when I go alone. You just have to arrange this side, remember, the more troops we have, the safer we are. Yang Ziang said meaningfully.

After Yang Linfeng said that he understood, the father and son acted separately.

The Dragon and Tiger Battalion, which was making stubborn resistance on the southern city wall, suddenly heard several special birdsong sounds, and all the people were stunned for a moment, and shouted for the leader: "Stop!" and then threw the weapon on the ground. The other members of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion stopped one after another and disarmed one after another.

"What's the situation?" Shi Jingtian looked at the scene that suddenly appeared, and looked at Ye Heng in confusion.

Ye Heng put the knife into the sheath, took a few steps forward, and asked, "Everyone, what does this mean?"

"The general sent a secret message, ordering us to be captured as soon as we were tied, and the military order is like a mountain, and I dare not disobey!" replied with great reluctance from the strong man at the head.

"I see! Hongchen sealed their cultivation and put them in a prison in the city. Remember to treat each other well, and don't be humiliated at will! If they don't disarm, we will lose more brothers, this move is like saving the lives of many of us, we must not retaliate!" Ye Heng ordered Hong Chen.

Hong Chen did as he said, and stepped forward to seal their cultivation, but the people of the Dragon and Tiger Camp did not resist, and then they were escorted to an empty prison in the city by Hong Chen.

"City Lord, look!" At this time, a soldier sent an arrow to Ye Heng, only to see a letter bound to the arrow.

Ye Heng took off the letterhead, and there was only a piece of paper inside, on which were written "I can't help myself, I was forced to commit treason, the soldiers are not guilty, I hope for preferential treatment, pretend to attack the city, and don't hurt my life". Ye Heng understood the meaning of this letter after thinking about it for a while, but he didn't say anything, just turned around and came to the city wall, only to see that the rebels besieging the city were still charging, the war drums were thundering, shouting to kill the sky, but no one jumped on the city wall anymore, seeing the approach, many people screamed and "fell" from the siege ladder, wailing under the city, and were carried down by the soldiers who rushed up behind to "heal".

"Archers stop shooting! Beat the drums and shout, strengthen my prestige!" Ye Heng immediately ordered, and then handed the letter to a herald and asked him to quickly deliver it to General Gao Lang.

When Gao Lang saw the letterhead, he jumped three feet high happily and immediately ran to Nancheng to check the situation. After seeing Ye Heng, tell Ye Heng to go to other places to support, and leave it to him to deal with here.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and with the cooperation of Gao Lang, the Pingcheng army and the rebels stationed in the south fought "extremely fiercely", with a grand momentum and a lot of war, Yang Ziang's troops suffered a large area of "casualties", and the army lost a lot of money!

After Yang Ziang met Han Kaiyuan, he immediately recounted his own losses and asked Han Kaiyuan for support. Han Kaiyuan was angry, where would he give General Yang a good face, and said coldly: "General Yang, now is the critical moment to attack Pingcheng, which army has not lost? Even the Han family army I brought has lost more than half, where do I have troops to support you? I know that you have a very strong army in your hands, why don't you send it out?"

"Marshal Han is wise, nothing can be hidden from your eyes, what you are talking about should be the Dragon and Tiger Battalion formed below. To tell you the truth, just because I just attacked the city with all my might, I sent out this team that had been built with countless efforts, and the city wall had already been attacked, and the situation was very good, but it was surrounded by the young people who fought against the leader of Han Bin, and all of them were killed in Pingcheng, there was really no way, so I came to Marshal Han for help!" Yang Ziang said with great heartache.
