The battle of Mancheng was a big victory, and Cui Yanjin also made great contributions, but the emperor did not give Cui Yanjin any reward. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 When the two of them talked about it, they could only smile wryly and shake their heads.

Yang Xianmao did not tell Cui Yanjin that he had not been rewarded but wanted to make meritorious contributions, it was better not to talk about such boring things. He only hoped that the Liao army would retire as soon as possible, so that he could hand over the errand as soon as possible, resign from his military position, and then take the princess to the world to patrol the doctor.

After they entered Mozhou, they lived in the state capital yamen.

After settling down, Yang Xianmao, accompanied by Cui Yanjin, inspected the defenses in various parts of the city.

He saw a lot of rolling logs and stones piled up under the city wall, bows and arrows piled up in the armory, all kinds of equipment to defend the city on the tower, the soldiers were full of energy, and the city had plenty of food and grass. The city walls of Mozhou City are tall and wide, the moat is wide, there are three horse ditches in front, and there are countless thistles under the city to block the infantry. There were about 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers defending the city. Such a force was enough to withstand the siege of 100,000 Liao troops.

Yang Xianmao was very relieved after reading it. Cui Yanjin set up a banquet for Yang Xianmao to wash the wind and dust, and talk about the wine.

At the moment of the great enemy, they don't dare to get drunk, and once there is an enemy situation, it will be troublesome, so they all stop at a shallow taste.

Three days later, the Liao army finally appeared outside the city of Namozhou, and set up camp five miles away from the city, and sent soldiers to call for battle under the city. Foul language was endless, just to provoke the Song army to go out of the city to face the battle, so as to take the opportunity to take the city. However, Yang Xianmao had already conveyed the emperor's will to Cui Yanjin, telling him to stick to the city and not fight easily. Because Liaojin can't keep up with the grain and grass, it is impossible to besiege Mozhou City in Guannan for a long time, and it will inevitably retreat, so it can be a soldier who surrenders without a fight.

Princess Xuan'er lived in a luxurious mansion specially prepared for him, but she would not stay in the courtyard honestly, and when she heard that the Liao army had arrived, she had to go to the city to watch. Cui Yanjin, Li Jilong, Guo Shouwen and Yang Xianmao had to accompany her up to the city tower to take a look.

Princess Xuan'er had never seen the Liao army, and she didn't feel very novel at this sight, but when she heard the Liao army swearing and scolding below, she was very angry, and turned her head to Yang Xianmao and the others and said, "Are you men?" The Liao army is scolding like this below, you don't dare to fight, and I am ashamed of you to death." ”

Cui Yanjin hurriedly explained: "The emperor's intention is to let us stick to the city and not fight easily, so let them scold if they want to scold." ”

When Xuan'er heard this, her eyebrows straightened and she said angrily: "I've never heard of such unplanted words, but I've heard that generals are not subject to military orders abroad." You are alone in the northern frontier for defensive operations, and I don't think the Liao army is very numerous, so why don't you go out and capture them alive and cut off their tongues? ”

Cui Yanjin hurriedly explained with a smile: "The Liao army is very cunning, it is likely that the army will be ambushed on one side, if we wait to leave the city, the Liao army will come quickly on horses and iron horses, but I am afraid that we will not have time to close the city gate, in that way, once the enemy army enters the city, our city will not be able to hold." The Liao army has nearly three times as many soldiers as us, with 60,000 soldiers, and if we fight hard, we will suffer a great loss, and we must use the strong city walls to defend it. ”

Princess Xuan'er said: "I don't know about military affairs, I only know that if you don't fight back when others scold you on the nose, you are a bad seed!"

Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at Yang Xianmao again, and said hatefully: "I heard my father say that you are brave and good at fighting, even the commander of the Liao army was seriously injured by you, so brave, why don't you go down and kill a few Liao soldiers for me to see, see if you are really brave or they blow it out of thin air?"

Yang Xianmao rolled his eyes, looked at the snake fairy girl standing behind him and said, "Sister fairy girl, can you show your hand and let the princess see that our Great Song is not unmanned." You go down and slaughter all the 100 Liao troops who are scolding the war, extinguish their prestige, and see if they dare to come up and scold again?"

The snake fairy girl smiled, bowed down, and said: "Lord Yang, I am not your subordinate, the emperor's order, let me protect the safety of you and the princess, now, they scolded them, and they didn't scold me, why should I kill them?"

Yang Xianmao smiled and said: "It seems that my sister is healed and forgot the pain, don't forget how the Liao army hurt you in the Battle of Youzhou, you almost took your life, but you still don't hate the Liao army at all, your broad mind really amazes me." ”

Hearing Yang Xianmao mention this matter, the smile on Snake Immortal Gu's face froze, and she sighed and said, "Lord Yang, this is a radical method." Anyway, the Liao army hurt me, and I haven't avenged this revenge yet, so I will first look for these bad luck who scolded the Liao soldiers. Wait and see, I'll tell them to shut up right away. ”

After that, the snake fairy Gu took out the Emei thorn and threw it in the air, her feet were on the ground, her body rose into the air, and her feet flew down the city tower with her feet on the Emei thorn, like lightning, and in a blink of an eye, she arrived in front of the Liao soldiers who were shouting and scolding under the city.

I saw that he shot as fast as lightning, and the hundred and ten Liao soldiers who scolded the war were easily cut off their necks by the snake fairy Gu with Emei thorns, and for a while, the heads on the ground rolled around, and the corpses that lost their heads spurted with blood, staggered and fell into the snow, and the blood was sprinkled all over the snow, red and white, which was shocking.

When the Liao soldiers saw her flying weapon, they knew that they were at least eighth-level powerhouses, and knew that it was impossible for them to fight hard with such a high-level powerhouse, so at this time, it was only important to escape, and they rushed backwards frantically.

But no matter how fast they ran, they couldn't chase and kill the eighth-level powerhouse, and in just an instant, the heads of these more than 100 Liao soldiers were cut off one by one and became rolling gourds.

The Liao army obviously didn't know that there was such a strong man with superb martial arts among the Song army, because only an eighth-level powerhouse could fly freely.

The soldiers of the Liao army who were answering in the distance were all killed by a middle-aged woman who flew down from the city without the power to blow away, and they were immediately stunned, and hurriedly rushed back to report it.

The commander of the Liao army was taken aback, and ordered to retreat to Wuli to camp and send the strongest men in the army to guard day and night in case the Song army, an eighth-level powerhouse, raided the barracks. At the same time, he quickly rode back to Beijing to report to the division, asking for more troops, and sent eighth-level monks to meet the enemy.

This time in the attack on Guannan Mozhou, the Liao army was just to explore the reality of the Song army, so it did not send generals such as Yelu Xiuge to lead the army.

After the snake fairy Gu quickly killed all the hundred and ten Liao Dynasty soldiers who were scolding under the city, she stepped on the Emei thorn and quickly returned to the top of the city tower, fell, collected the Emei thorn, patted the placket of her clothes, and there was not even a trace of blood on it, looking at Yang Xianmao and smiling: "Lord Yang, your agitation method has worked, I have killed all these people who scolded the war according to your requirements, and they will no longer dare to go to the city to call for war, and our ears can be quiet." ”

Yang Xianmao looked at Princess Xuan'er with a bit of pride, but Princess Xuan'er pouted and said, "She is my person, what ability does the person who relies on me have to kill the Liao army? ”

Guo Shouwen hurriedly said: "Princess, this matter must not be allowed. Lord Yang is a supervisor of the army and a commander of the army, but he can't take risks with himself, otherwise there is a good and bad guy, the dragons have no leader, and Guan Nan will be in danger. ”

Princess Xuan'er snorted and said, "Since that's the case, forget it, I just want to see how the eldest brother killed the enemy bravely." Because I heard my father tell me how the eldest brother killed the enemy bravely, I felt fascinated, but I didn't have the opportunity to see it. ”

Yang Xianmao said: "I'm afraid that it is a false rumor, how can I be so brave, the princess doesn't have to care about these hearsay." ”

Seeing that the Liao soldiers who were scolding the war had been killed, and the Liao Dynasty army had retreated five miles, and there was no trace from the city tower, Princess Xuan'er felt bored, so she went down to the city tower and went back, telling Yang Xianmao that if the Liao army came to attack, when the two sides fought fiercely, he would come to the city to see the excitement, Yang Xianmao dared to agree, just smiled and did not answer.

That night, Yang Xianmao was reading the book of soldiers in his room. He had finished reading the pile of military books he borrowed from Hanlin Yuan, and before leaving, he changed a large number of them and put them in the storage bag, but he didn't have time to read them.

was watching it with relish, and suddenly heard someone behind him laugh: "I can't see it, you still like to read military books." ”

Yang Xianmao was taken aback, someone behind him approached him and he was not alert, but as soon as he heard this voice, he immediately understood that it was the eighth-level powerhouse Snake Immortal Gu, with her high skill, it would be easy to hide herself from entering the house.

Yang Xianmao looked back, and sure enough, he saw the snake fairy girl standing behind him with a smile and looking at him.

Yang Xianmao hurriedly put down the military book, took a chair and put it aside, and said, "Sister, please sit, come to visit late at night, do you have any advice?"

The snake fairy girl sat on the chair in a very graceful posture, just looked at him, and asked with some curiosity for a while: "I promised to give my niece to you as a wife last time, why don't you ask me about it?"

Yang Xianmao smiled and said, "I said before that I am not interested in Sister Snake's niece, so there is no need for my sister to use her niece as a condition to repay me. So of course I won't ask. ”

The snake fairy girl nodded and said, "I guess that's the truth, but I came up tonight to tell you the truth." I don't really have any nieces, and the reason why I said this at the time was not that I really wanted to lie to you, but that I thought, young men love to be pretty, and young men don't like beautiful women? I promise you to be beautiful, and you will be tempted, and you will be willing to heal my wounds with all your heart, and I can't just buy you a singer, so you may not like it, but it is my niece. In this way, after you heal my injuries, I will go and buy a beautiful singer and come back, add **, let her admit that I am my niece, and give it to you, even if I fulfill my promise. But you never mentioned it to me, so I never put it into practice. It's okay today, so I asked why you didn't ask me about my niece. I am ashamed of your answer, so I decided not to lie to you anymore and tell you the truth. ”

Yang Xian Maofeng nodded lightly and said: "Thank you sister for telling me honestly, I said, sister doesn't have to worry about this, and she doesn't have to give me anything back, it is our duty to treat diseases and save people, and we can't collect money based on this, let alone extort money based on this." ”
