Song Yuanyan, the king of Jiaozhou, discussed with the head of Shangguan, the lord of the Netherworld Valley, and the lord of Wan Qi Star Castle to ask the senior brother of the Netherworld, Youyangzi, to go out of the mountain to assist him. Early the next morning, the ghost son set off on the road and rushed to Jiangzhou Diqing Mountain.

Song Yuanyan gave Netherchild a lot of gold and silver to bring with him, and Netherchild naturally did not refuse.

As soon as the ghost son was sent away, suddenly a city gate guard came to report, saying that Xiguan City had sent troops to attack the city, and they were begging the enemy at this time.

Song Yuyan was taken aback, he didn't expect that the other party would come to attack Jiaozhou City so quickly.

Of course, he knew that the other party only had 50,000 soldiers and horses in total, and although he had suffered defeats, his total strength was still more than that of the other party. And the other party knows that there are two cities on his side to echo, and he actually dares to come to attack the city, aren't they afraid that my side will attack them from both sides?

Therefore, he immediately sent someone to Zhaoqing City to deliver a letter, asking for help to be sent as soon as possible.

At the same time, Song Yuanyan also arranged the generals, waited for the reinforcements to come, and then took the soldiers and horses out of the city to attack the siege army.

However, when the reinforcements had not yet arrived, he did not plan to open the city to fight, he knew that the other party must be prepared, so he did not dare to risk the battle.

The Yue brothers led 20,000 troops to the outside of Jiaozhou City, and they scolded the enemy for a long time, and they did not see the people of Jiaozhou City go out of the city to meet the battle. So according to Xiao Ding's instructions, he pretended to attack the city, and ordered the soldiers to push the crossbow cart to the front of the formation and fire spears and crossbows at the head of the city.

As for the power of the spear and crossbow, as mentioned many times before, the defenders at the head of the city could not resist it, and in a short time, they were already killed and wounded.

When the generals in command of the defense of the city saw that ordinary shields could not withstand such spear-like crossbow arrows, they had to let the soldiers hide behind the battlements for the time being. Wait for the other party to stop firing spears and crossbows, and then stand up.

Duan Beishan of Zhaoqingcheng, as usual, sat in the hall of the county government of Zhaoqingcheng and drank tea and chatted with the county order.

Suddenly, a guard at the head of the city came back and forth, saying that Jiaozhou City had sent a messenger, claiming that the enemy troops had gone to attack Jiaozhou City, and asked Zhaoqing City to send rescue troops as soon as possible.

Duan Beishan has been deceived by the soldiers sent out by Xiao Ding last time to send fake letters, and this time he heard that someone came to deliver the letter, and the first thing he thought of was whether the news sent was true or false?

After hesitating for a moment, Duan Beishan asked the guard, "Has the messenger left?" ”

"Not yet, waiting outside the city!" The guard replied.

"Go and put the messenger into the city, and I'll inquire for myself." Duan Beishan commanded.

The guard answered and turned to go out, and it didn't take long for the guard to lead the messenger into the hall.

The soldier who sent the letter gave a salute to Duan Beishan and said: "The villain has seen General Duan!" ”

Duan Beishan immediately asked, "Are you here to report the news?" Tell me about the situation in Jiaozhou, is there really an enemy attack? ”

"Yes, General Duan! The prince sent me over to deliver a letter to the general, when I came, the enemy already had about 20,000 people begging for the enemy under the city of Jiaozhou, and I guess I had already started a fight at this time, so I asked General Duan to send rescue troops quickly. The messenger replied.

Duan Beishan saw that the soldiers who sent the letter this time did not leave after saying anything like last time, and this time it was daytime, and it was very likely that the enemy army would come to attack Jiaozhou City, so he no longer doubted it, and said: "Okay, I'll go and prepare to send rescuers, don't go, follow my team to Jiaozhou City." ”

The reason why Duan Beishan wanted to keep this messenger was that if he was deceived, he could also kill the messenger immediately.

The messenger did not dare to disobey, so he had to nod his head in agreement.

Duan Beishan didn't plan to go in person this time, last time he personally led the troops to rescue, but he was tossed two or three times in vain, so this time, he called his two generals Duan Xiu and Duan Yao, and ordered him to lead an army of 20,000 to Jiaozhou City to support Song Yuanyan, the king of Jiaozhou.

Duan Xiu, Duan Yao and Duan Beishan are actually distant relatives of the same ancestor, and according to their generation, they want to call Duan Beishan uncle.

Duan Beishan ordered the two of them to go to the rescue, and the two generals did not dare to disobey, so they gathered 20,000 soldiers, left Zhaoqing City, and ran towards Jiaozhou City.

The army had barely reached the halfway point when suddenly a cannon shot from the thatch on both sides of the road, followed by a flurry of arrows from both sides.

Duan Xiu and Duan Yao already knew that they had encountered an ambush when they saw it, and hurriedly organized soldiers to defend with shields.

However, the army led by the Yang family sisters and brothers also carried a lot of crossbow carts and medium-sized crossbows, which ordinary shields could not resist at all.

Suddenly, there was a miserable howl in Duan Xiu and Duan Yao's troops.

When Duan Xiu and Duan Yao saw that ordinary shields couldn't block each other's spears and crossbows, they could only choose to move forward or retreat.

They looked at the density of the other party's arrow rain, and saw that the crossbow arrows on the road ahead were more dense, and it was obvious that the other party was blocking the advance of their own troops, so they immediately ordered to retreat.

The 20,000-strong army, which was originally advancing, was suddenly ambushed, turned back, and trampled on each other was inevitable. Those soldiers who did not have time to turn around were knocked to the ground by their own people, and then trampled to death, countless.

In this era, orders were also passed on by word of mouth, so when the front troops received the orders, the rear troops had not yet received the orders from the commander-in-chief, so the more crowded the troops, the more it would cause this kind of confusion.

However, it was already a little late to retreat at this time. The three Yang Yueling sisters and brothers have already carried out this kind of halfway ambush mission more than once, and they have already set up an ambush circle early on, encircling the 20,000 troops of the Duan family brothers in the center.

Although Duan Xiu and Duan Yao are not close brothers, they also have some kinship. The two of them were very sad and indignant when they saw that the army was surrounded and only slaughtered.

The two shouted one after another: "What a despicable villain, he actually ambushed your grandfather halfway, why don't you come out and die soon!" Have the guts for you to come out and fight with Lao Tzu for 800 rounds! ”

The two of them were about to scold again, when they suddenly saw a yellow horse coming out from behind a boulder not far away, and immediately sat a fierce female general wearing a golden helmet and armor and holding a golden spear to make souls. She came galloping on horseback, her spear just a hand. He stabbed the infant in the lower abdomen.

The person who came was Yang Yueling, she heard the two of them scolding ugly, so she urged the horse to come out, and with just one move, she stabbed Duan Yao's lower abdomen, and then she used her arms to pull Duan Yao off the horse.

By the time Duan Xiu had just come back to his senses, Yang Yueling's big gun had already stabbed towards his chest.

Duan Xiu hurriedly blocked with the iron gun in his hand.

However, Duan Xiu's marksmanship is as exquisite as the Yang family's gun, and the two fought for less than ten rounds, Yang Yueling stabbed Duan Xiu in the soft underbelly with one shot, and directly picked him off.

This time the guns picked two generals, and the soldiers on both sides could all see it.

The morale of the soldiers led by the Yang family sisters and brothers was suddenly boosted, and the 20,000 soldiers led by the two brothers of the Duan family were suddenly chaotic, the main general was all dead, no one to command, and they were slaughtered, where could they still tell what to do, they could only instinctively flee for their lives. Running around in the encirclement of the Yang family's sisters and brothers, they couldn't tell the direction, and they couldn't figure out which direction they could run in to escape from this dead place.

In the end, some of the people withdrew from the encirclement and fled in the direction of Zhaoqing Castle. The Yang family sisters and brothers led the troops to follow and cover up for a while, and chased until they were almost in Zhaoqing City, and then they stopped.

Of the 20,000 soldiers brought out by the two brothers of the Duan family this time, only three or five hundred escaped in the end.
