Chapter 13 [Escape from Difficulties and Go to Shaolin]

After rushing for a while, Tang Lang, Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Xiaohu, and Lao Jun rode four war horses, and they had already killed the core of Zheng Jun.

The chief general of the Zheng army was under the banner of the general, commanding the cavalry of the Zheng army to gallop back and forth. Around him, nearly a hundred pro-army cavalrymen were tightly guarded.

Pro-cavalry usually received special favor from the commander, and their treatment was often higher than that of ordinary cavalry, so when they were fighting, they were more effective and could defend the commander to the death.

Cheng bit the golden horse lance and swept and knocked down three pro-army cavalry early.

However, the nearly 100 pro-army cavalry guarding the main general of the Zheng army still had no fear and did not dodge to the two sides.

At this time, Tang Lang and Zhang Xiaohu also rushed forward, ready to assist Cheng Yanjin to fight his way out. Behind the three of them, only the old soldier was shielded with a Mo knife.

They must immediately break through the encirclement and quickly behead the main general of the Zheng army, otherwise they will be exhausted from the battle.

The situation has become a little critical for a while!

The cavalry of the chief general of the Zheng army wrapped it like an iron bucket.

Cheng Biting Jin's hands clenched a vajra mallet, although he danced like a galloping dragon, but it was still difficult for him to tear through the encirclement for a while.

"Straight sissy thief! - Ah......hh

Cheng Biting Jin was in a hurry, he suddenly roared, his legs were exhausted, his body moved, he suddenly jumped up from his horse, flew over the heads of a group of Zheng cavalry with a vajra horse lance, and stabbed straight at the main general of Zheng Jun.

"Pounce-"

The sharp sharp edge of the horse lance pierced into the chest of the main general of the Zheng army at once.

The chief general of the Zheng army did not expect that this seemed to be a blow flying from the sky, which was tantamount to seeing the sudden landing of the heavenly soldiers, panicked for a while, and his heart was frightened, and his blood surged up, and he spurted out a mouthful of old blood with "wow......".

All the cavalry of the Zheng army's cronies were almost stunned.

And Cheng Yanjin took out the long sword hanging on his waist and cut off the head of the main general of the Zheng army with one sword!

Before the chief general of the Zheng army could use the long sword in his hand, his head had already been swung off by Cheng Yanjin.

Cheng Yanjin picked up the head of the Zheng army commander with the horse lance in his hand, slashed down a Zheng army cavalry with a sword, jumped on his war horse, and shouted: "The head of the Zheng army is here!" The head of the Zheng army is ...... here."

The cavalry of the Zheng army was frightened and panicked.

"General Wang's head!? -- The big guy snatched General Wang's head. ”

Among the cavalry of the chief general of the Zheng army, I don't know who suddenly shouted.

Immediately afterwards, countless Zheng cavalry swarmed towards Cheng Yanjin, intending to snatch the head of the Zheng army's chief general who was carried on his horse lance.

Seeing this, Cheng Biting Jin angrily rode away like a dragon under his crotch, kicking and rolling up smoke and dust all the way.

And countless Zheng cavalry followed, desperately chasing.

At this time, the Zheng army's 1,000 elite cavalry, due to the loss of the command system, had already fallen into chaos, and the men and horses of all departments were flustered, and they had no intention of fighting at all, and gradually showed signs of defeat.

Tang Lang saw that Cheng Yanjin was in a critical condition, and hurriedly greeted Zhang Xiaohu and Lao Jun loudly: "Let's go and help Brother Cheng!" As he spoke, Mo Dao started and slashed down diagonally, killing a Zheng cavalryman.

Zhang Xiaohu and Lao Jun saw that Cheng Biting Jin angrily killed the chief general of the Zheng army, and they were all open-minded, and when they were fighting, they also worked extra hard.

At the same time, the scouts in Songyang City, Cheng Yanjin, had already succeeded, so he immediately reported to the magistrate of Songyang County.

At the sound of an order, the spirit of the elite soldiers in Songyang City instantly became vibrant, and they were all extremely excited.

The south gate of Songyang City was opened, and five hundred Modao cavalry of the Songyang Army rushed out of the city like a wind, a tiger, and a dragon. Behind them were thousands of militiamen.

Soon, the Songyang army and the Zheng army's cavalry exchanged hands,

The Zheng army, which was besieging the city, did not expect that the cowardly Songyang army would dare to open the city gate and swarm out to fight with them.

Therefore, the cavalry of the Zheng army was violently attacked by the Songyang army, and it felt as if it had been bombarded by thunder, and its camp was in chaos and was forced to respond to the battle in a hurry.

However, there are still dozens of Zheng cavalry who bite Cheng and bite Jin.

Tang Lang, Zhang Xiaohu, and Lao Jun hurriedly rode their horses to rush over and rescue Cheng Biting Jin.

The sound of the Songyang army shook the sky and roared. They bravely rushed over, stabbing the bodies of the Zheng soldiers with the Mo knives in their hands.

The two sides were quickly strangled together, and it was difficult to separate for a while.

Cheng Yanjin knew that soldiers and horses had already been dispatched in Songyang City, so he suddenly turned his horse's head and fought fiercely with dozens of cavalry close to the chief general of the Zheng army who were chasing him.

The Zheng army's front soon loosened, and countless Zheng cavalry kept breaking back, which eventually led to the collective flight of all the Zheng soldiers.

……

The Battle of Songyang finally ended with the victory of the Songyang army.

The 1,000 elite cavalry of the Zheng army, which came from the eastern capital of Luoyang, were killed and scattered, leaving only a few hundred stragglers to retreat.

And the entire battlefield outside Songyang City, corpses were everywhere, blood flowed everywhere, and it was extremely tragic.

In addition, there were countless wailing wounded soldiers on the battlefield.

Tang Lang learned from the mouth of a captured Zheng army captive that the Zheng army commander who was beheaded by Cheng Yanjin was not Wang Renze, but Wang Renze's younger brother Wang Renfa.

Among the Zheng army, Wang Renfa's brutality was on a par with that of his elder brother Wang Ren.

Cheng Yanjin learned that the head he was carrying with a horse lance belonged to Wang Renfa, so he was very angry and scolded: "Grandpa also used to stay under Wang Shichong, this Wang Renfa and Wang Renze brothers look too fucking similar." However, even if he killed Wang Renfa, he was really happy. ”

Cheng Yanjin also patted Tang Lang's shoulder, laughed and said, "Brother Tang, I think you will go with me to join Li Shimin, the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty." With your ability, sooner or later you will have to seal a marquis of ten thousand households! ”

"Brother Cheng," Tang Lang said, "my ambition is not here. I think it's better to forget it. Although I also admire the demeanor of Li Shimin, the king of Qin. ”

Cheng Yanjin was puzzled and asked him: "Then what is your ambition ......?"

Tang Lang didn't want to tell him clearly, so he had to lie: "I only want to take refuge in my Buddha, and I said that I would go to Zen and ask, and practice martial arts in my spare time to strengthen my body." ”

"Whew! Do you want to be a bald donkey?! This clear soup has a bird's meaning! Cheng Yanjin said loudly: "This is too fucking unproductive." ”

Tang Lang smiled, "My personal ambitions are different, why force it?" ”

Zhang Xiaohu also said: "When I finish avenging my father's revenge, I will also take refuge in my Buddha with Brother Tang." - Old Army, what about you, what do you think? ”

The old army was silent for a long time and said: "I didn't want to join the army, but now that the world is falling apart, there is almost no peace, and I think I can only follow the powerful Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Li and the father and son." I hope that after the peace, I can really live a few days of peace."

Tang Lang said: "It's just right, the old army will follow Brother Cheng in the future, accumulate military exploits, and one day he will be crowned a wife and a son, and live a peaceful life in the world." -- I am very optimistic about Li Shimin. ”

……

After half a day of fierce fighting, the Songyang army finally won, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were very happy, and there was thunder of joy for a while.

The magistrate of Songyang County ordered the slaughter of cattle and horses in front of the county government of Songyang County, and prepared to drink for fun, and even called some Hu people from the Western Regions who were good at dancing in Songyang City to come to help the fun.

Seeing that Tang Lang's strategy was useful, the magistrate of Songyang County treated him differently.

When he came to the county office, Tang Lang couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the scene of celebration, and said loudly to the magistrate of Songyang County: "Lord Magistrate, please stop all the activities to celebrate the victory immediately, and run for your life immediately." ”

"Running for your life?"

After listening to Tang Lang's words, everyone looked at each other, not understanding what they meant.

Tang Lang had no choice but to explain: "Songyang City has low walls and insufficient soldiers, so it can't resist the next attack of the Zheng army. Cheng Biting Jin killed Wang Renze's younger brother Wang Renfa, and Wang Renze's gang must gather heavy troops to retaliate. At that time, with the strength of the Songyang Army, it will be difficult to resist at all. Therefore, I advise everyone to flee for their lives. ”

The magistrate of Songyang County was full of surprise, "Tang Lang, the Songyang army has already repelled an attack by the Zheng army, and this county believes that as long as the Songyang army handles it properly, it will definitely be able to repel the invasion of Wang Renze's army again." ”

Tang Lang sneered in his heart and said, "May I ask Lord Zhixian, once Wang Ren sends 10,000 troops and surrounds Songyang City, how to solve it?" ”

"Ten thousand fine riders...... This ......"

The magistrate of Songyang County was speechless.

Tang Lang said helplessly: "It's better to ask the county lord to evacuate the soldiers and civilians of Songyang City immediately." The four of us are going to take refuge in the city. ”

At this time, Li Zhutou suddenly came out of the crowd and said loudly to the magistrate of Songyang County: "Lord Zhixian, Tang Lang, Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Xiaohu, and Lao Jun are prisoners of Songyang Prison, and they can't be let go like this." ”

"What? Are you going to break your word and get fat? Tang Lang's eyes looked at the magistrate of Songyang County, and said, "Please fulfill your promise." ”

The magistrate of Songyang County coughed heavily and said in a deep voice: "What the county has said, of course it counts." But, Tang Lang, can you bear to watch the people of Songyang City suffer from the crazy revenge of Wang Renze's army? ”

"Uh...... I have already suggested to the magistrate that the military and civilians in the whole city be evacuated. Tang Lang said, "...... Lord Zhixian, if there is nothing to do, the four of us will leave here! ”

The magistrate of Songyang County has something in his heart, but he can't say it.

Tang Lang hurriedly glanced at Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Xiaohu, and Lao Jun, signaling them to be ready to deal with everything that might happen.

Li Zhutou paused vigorously again with the heavy Mo knife in his hand, but this time he did not make a sound to stop it.

In this way, the soldiers and civilians of Songyang City watched Tang Lang, Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Xiaohu, and the old army walk out of Songyang City.
