Early the next morning, Xiao Ding once again sent the three sisters and brothers of the Yang family to set up an ambush on the way between Jiaozhou City and Zhaoqing City, ready to ambush Zhaoqing City to support the reinforcements of Jiaozhou City.

Then, he sent Gao Hongxiu and Luo Sikou to lead the remaining 10,000 soldiers in the city to Jiaozhou City to assist the Yue brothers in pretending to attack the city and make a gesture of inevitable. To convince the king of Jiaozhou that his side is going to attack Jiaozhou City in a big way.

This time, Xiguan City has also become an empty city.

After the two waves of troops were dispatched, another military general in the hall suddenly put forward an opinion: "Deputy Marshal Tian, since the two of us came to the front line, we have not made an inch, why didn't the deputy marshal send the two of us to carry out the task?" ”

Xiao Ding looked up and saw that it was the remaining military general, Lu Changping, and the two generals of the Di Wan Army, who had been following from Tingzhou Pass.

If you think about it carefully, every time you go on a mission, you really rarely think of the two of them. When the Han brothers were not injured before, the Han brothers and the Yang brothers were most often used. Because Lu Changping and Di Wanjun were not the generals they brought from Zhongzhou, they always seemed to feel that the relationship was far away.

However, as a commander-in-chief, there is no nepotism. For his generals, a bowl of water should be level.

So, Xiao Ding thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, there are still hundreds of defenders in the city, you two take an inventory, take them all, and go to ambush the position between the Yang family sisters and brothers and Zhaoqing City." After waiting for the Yang family sisters and brothers to defeat the reinforcements from Zhaoqingcheng, you will intercept those fish that have slipped through the net for the second time. If you do a good job, I will also credit you according to the first-class credit! ”

When Lu Changping and Di Wanjun heard this, they were very happy, and hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "The last general obeys the order!" "This kind of thing to pick up leaks is simple and labor-saving, and anyone is willing to do it.

Duan Beishan was directing the burial of his two distant relatives and nephews, and yesterday the king of Jiaozhou sent a lot of gold and silver, telling Duan Beishan to bury Duan Xiu and Duan Yao.

At this moment, suddenly another city gate guard came to report that the king of Jiaozhou had sent someone to ask for help.

Duan Beishan was shocked, and said in his heart, he had just been annihilated by the ambush army with 20,000 troops yesterday, and he also had the lives of his two nephews, why did he come to ask for help today?

"Bring me the messenger!" Duan Beishan commanded.

When the person who came to report the news came over and asked, the messenger truthfully told the situation that Jiaozhou City was facing today, and said that the king of Jiaozhou was so anxious that his hair and beard turned a lot gray overnight.

Duan Beishan thought about it, he was sent by the emperor of Dali this time, and he came to support the king of Jiaozhou, if the king of Jiaozhou has three long and two short, then wouldn't he come in vain this time?

Moreover, as far as he knew, the king of Jiaozhou had promised Dali that if he seized the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Kingdom, he would assign all the county towns next to Dali to Dali.

If there is no benefit, how can Dali send troops to support the king of Jiaozhou?

Therefore, Duan Beishan weighed left and right for a long time, and felt that he couldn't watch the king of Jiaozhou being destroyed, he was alive, and there might be a chance to turn the tables later, if he died, his own troops this time would be in vain.

So, although Duan Beishan guessed that on the way to support, he might encounter an ambush, he still ordered 15,000 soldiers and personally led the team out of the city and rushed to Jiaozhou to support.

Zhaoqingcheng left the remaining 15,000 soldiers and horses and handed them over to the county order of Zhaoqingcheng to defend the city.

Despite Duan Beishan's vigilance, he and his troops still broke into the encirclement ambushed by Yang Yueling's sister and brother.

Similarly, not surprisingly, most of Duan Beishan's troops were annihilated. Only Duan Beishan fought hard by himself, leading the hundreds of remnants who came out after him, and defeated Zhaoqing City.

Today he thoroughly experienced the feeling of his two nephews when they were ambushed yesterday. It's just a rush to heaven and earth. But that's not all.

Duan Beishan's luck today was not as good as his two nephews.

On the way back to Zhaoqing City, suddenly Lu Changping and hundreds of soldiers from Di Wan's army ambushed them again.

Several rounds of arrow rain came over, and Duan Beishan wanted to cry without tears.

After he broke out of the encirclement of Lu Changping and Di Wanjun, when he looked back, not a single soldier had followed, and he was left with a bare-bones commander.

Duan Beishan was gray and bloodstained, in fact, he didn't kill many enemy soldiers, because the enemy soldiers were firing arrows most of the time. Most of the blood on his body was the blood of his own soldiers, and it was splashed on his body.

He returned to Zhaoqing City dejected and depressed, and today he failed to save Jiaozhou City again, and lost 15,000 soldiers again. The 50,000 troops he brought from Dali were all left in the city.

Although the loss of the army was not successful, but you have to send someone over to investigate, in case the king of Jiaozhou is killed by the other party, there is no need for him to continue to stay in this Zhaoqing City.

So, he sent the soldier who went to Jiaozhou yesterday to investigate.

At this time, the battle outside Jiaozhou City had also ended, in fact, it was a battle, but it was just a one-sided attack.

The brothers of the Yue family received Xiao Ding's instructions, and with the support of Gao Hongxiu and Luo Sikou, they made a more decent appearance of attacking Jiaozhou City.

The shouts of killing are deafening, and the drums of war are endless!

However, those who shouted and killed were always thunder and rain. After firing several rounds of spears and crossbows at the city, the attack was stopped.

Today, because of yesterday's experience, the defenders at the head of the city saw that the other side had fired the spears and crossbows of the crossbow carts, so they all cated early behind the battlements, regardless of whether the other party would rush over to climb the city, or rush over to attack the city gate.

Therefore, the number of dead and wounded in the city today is very small, less than 500 people.

It wasn't until the other side stopped firing spears and crossbows that they came out from behind the battlements, and when they saw that the other party did not take the opportunity to climb the wall and attack the city gate, they were all relieved.

Song Yuanyan was sitting in the palace hall, and when he heard the shouts and killings outside the city, the war drums were monstrous, and his heart couldn't help but feel worried. Seeing that the people who went to Zhaoqing City to ask for help had not returned, I didn't know if the reinforcements had been ambushed by the other party again. One of his hearts was in his throat.

All his generals were sent out to command the defense of the city. He secretly hated, there are so many generals under his command, there is no one who fights, if there is a person who can have the talent of the other party's deputy marshal, why would he be bullied like this?

When he heard the soldiers at the head of the city come to report that the enemy had retreated, his heart was in his stomach. But later, I heard that the other party only retreated ten miles outside the city, and did not completely retreat. And his heart hung again.

It looks like the other party will have to attack the city tomorrow! Song Yuanyan thought to himself. Maybe you'll come to steal the city at night! You have to tell the generals that it's better to take precautions.

Although Song Yuanyan ordered in time, he was still uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that something would happen.

When he saw the soldier sent by Zhao Qingcheng to report the situation, he knew where his uneasy premonition came from.
