Chapter 359: Let you live

"Brothers, the lone army of the Living Hades is the best opportunity to kill this person, don't hesitate..... Come on..... Kill him......"

It was supposed to cheer everyone up, but it turned out that those people hesitated to retreat. Du Jianwen was a little confused, he really couldn't understand why this was happening.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, which meant that Xu Zhixin had already led the others to come up. The leaders of the peasant army around him had no intention of continuing to fight. Du Jianwen has already hung the flagpole, and they don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

A strong man brandished a red tassel gun, turned his head and ran towards the south, "There must be a trap ahead, retreat quickly, return to Datong ......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fled south like a flood that burst its embankment. Du Jianwen on the high slope was about to pop out when he saw it.....

Stupid, a bunch of pigs, why are these people so stupid? Is the living Hades so terrible? Return to Datong, return to Datong at this time, and if you stay for less than two days, it is estimated that you will be severely beaten by officers and soldiers. If Tongling City can't be defended, I really don't know what to do to defend Datong, do you rely on dreams?

This battle was fought in a blur, Tiemo didn't know how he won, and Du Jianwen didn't know how he lost.

In the middle of the chaotic cavalry brigade, Xu Zhixin, who was dressed in military uniform, turned a little pale. It wasn't until today that she understood what the real battlefield was like, and all her previous pride was shattered in this sudden encounter. Having witnessed the tragedy and danger on the battlefield, Fang understands how ridiculous the heroic and bloody imagination is.

The cold wind still swept the high hill, and the wind swept past the ears, leaving a deep coolness, like a knife cutting. It's a pity that Du Jianwen can't feel it anymore. He hung his head and looked lonely, as if all the hope in his life had been sucked away. I really don't understand why a good opportunity ended up juggling. Leaving Datong City and rushing to help Tongling was carefully considered, and almost everything was gambled in order to help Tongling.

Du Jianwen felt that what he expected was not wrong, the Living Yama King bypassed Datong and directly attacked Tongling City, which was definitely a big failure. The Xuanfu border army is indeed very terrible, but their strength is limited after all, and this is the south, not the northern land, the area around Tongling, especially the area of Sanchexia, is not suitable for large-scale cavalry battles at all, and the benefits of the cavalry have been lost, and the combat strength of the Xuanfu border army has been greatly reduced.

They have to deal with the soldiers and horses in Tongling City, and they have to face the army of Zheng Guosong in the area of the Nijiang River, how much energy do they have to deal with the soldiers and horses in Datong City? There is not a single soldier outside Datong City, it is not that there is no one in the eyes of the living Hades, but that he really can't send enough soldiers and horses under his command to contain Datong City. At this time, the soldiers will be able to achieve miraculous results when they go out of Sanchexia. When this decision was made, Wang Ye and Li Zijian were all against it, but so what? Wang Ye and Li Zijian don't go out of the city, it's understandable, these two guys have no ink, and they are frightened by the living Hades, they always want to guard Datong City, if the situation is not right, they can abandon Datong and flee directly to the south.

Du Jianwen led thousands of soldiers and horses out of the city, everything was as expected, the troops that the Xuanfu soldiers and horses could divide were very limited, and even the living king of Hades went into battle in person. What a good opportunity, if Li Zijian also led the troops to kill together, perhaps, the Living Yama King should withdraw from the Tongling battlefield and organize a defense. Everything looks good, but why are those people scared one by one? The opportunity was in front of them, and they actually ran away, escaping faster than the rabbits. The most ridiculous thing is that the few officers and soldiers did not even have the heart to chase and kill.

"Living Hades...... You win...... Kill me...... If you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, why humiliate Lao Tzu like this? "Du Jianwen has long put life and death out of the way, but he was hung on the flagpole, which is really embarrassing.

Tiemo waved his hand and motioned for the guards to put Du Jianwen down, but he did not order Du Jianwen to be killed. However, Du Jianwen was unhappy in his heart, and when the guards dragged him down, he shouted vigorously, "Living Hades, if you are a man, just ...... What are you going to do? has the ability to kill Lao Tzu directly...... If Lao Tzu frowned, he would have your last name....."

Tiemo didn't pay attention to Du Jianwen, just thinking about his thoughts. This battle seems to have been won, but in fact it is very dangerous, if it weren't for the opposite, relying on the advantage of the cavalry, under the hedge, killing the opponent by surprise, perhaps, everything would be different. Even, if Du Jianwen hadn't been captured alive, it would have been him who died at this time. It can be said that hanging Du Jianwen on the flagpole really frightened those rogues. At that time, he looked calm and calm, but in fact, he was not sure at all, if those rogues did not hesitate, did not fear, and continued to rush to the high post, then he would really have no way to iron someone.

Moreover, his luck is also good, looking at the previous situation, these rogues also have their own ideas, and they don't take Du Jianwen too seriously. In other words, these people are not Du Jianwen's descendants, and they are estimated to have been put together temporarily. Otherwise, it would be impossible to watch Du Jianwen being hung up and flee for his life reflexively.

He touched his right wrist, which was a little sore, and smiled with a complicated face. I haven't been in battle to kill the enemy for a long time, and my kung fu has fallen behind. Suddenly feeling someone approaching, Tiemo's back tightened, he turned his head to look, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Miss Xu!" ”

"Well, this time I was able to repel the thieves, thanks to the courage of the Governor!" Xu Zhixin arched her hand with a serious expression, these words were not compliments, they were completely sincere. If you don't go to the battlefield, you will never be able to see the other side of the iron. This person is young and rises to Mobei, not without reason.

If the command of iron ink on the battlefield is determined, and the courage is abnormal when charging, perhaps, only such a person is worthy of so many people to follow. Whether or not you can fight is secondary, the key is to have the courage to charge.

"Miss Xu praised it falsely, this time it was pure luck, if all the thieves on the side of Chase City pressed over, we should hold our tails and think about how to defend!" Sticking the ghost head knife into the dirt, he moved his wrist, "Du Jianwen is definitely a talent, the timing of his appearance is just right, unfortunately, the people he brought don't listen to him very much, if the thieves are united and obey orders, then Tie Mou has the ability to reach the sky, I'm afraid it will only be defeated." ”

There are some things that Xu Zhixin didn't see, and even Du Jianwen himself was a little confused. But Tiemo saw it thoroughly, the defeat of the thieves was not because Du Jianwen was captured alive, not because he was defeated in his heart, but because he was not in his heart.

Speaking carefully, Du Jianwen is definitely a great general, from the battle of Sanchexia, to the defense of Datong City, to the aid of Tongling this time, it can be seen that this person's military talent. This time, it almost killed him.

Why did Du Jianwen choose a good timing? After attacking the city for a few hours, the artillery fire continued, and it cost a lot, and it seemed that it was half successful. Therefore, knowing that there were thieves and reinforcements in the direction of Chase City, he would not withdraw, but chose to block and fight. Du Jianwen calculated this correctly, so he prepared to meet the enemy in the north of Sanche Gorge, instead of rushing to Tongling City regardless of it.

Du Jianwen really wanted to rush into Tongling City, but Tiemo was relieved, Tongling City had more than the thousands of people under Du Jianwen's command, and it didn't affect the overall situation, under the fire, he didn't care about these thousands of people. However, when the formation is less than twenty miles away from Tongling, it is different. If this thief army is not driven away, they may rush over at any moment and ruin the hard-won results.

Du Jianwen has calculated everything, but he has not calculated that these people under his hands are useless.

.......

Tongling City was still tormented by artillery fire, Du Jianwen's reinforcements were repulsed, and Zheng Guosong's army in the north of the Nijiang River was also harassed by Liu Guineng. One day of siege, when the sun was setting in the west, the sound of artillery also stopped. For Tongling City, it seems to have gotten a rare respite. Night, little by little, half moon rising, starry.

A clear night sky, stunning. The beautiful night seems to be easy to make people sleep. After a day of artillery baptism, Tongling City was ruined, and the people defending the city were even more exhausted, many people withdrew from the city, ate something hastily, and found a place to fall asleep. The cold winter, the deep coolness, did not freeze them. At this time, only sleep can soothe the fragility of the heart.

In the mansion, Xu Beichuan leaned on a chair, his body was covered with a thick coat, motionless, only his breathing showed that he was a living person. He fell asleep, sleeping deadly. A day of bombardment, a day of fear, and the death of his friend Zeng Qian hit him hard. When I came back, I didn't dare to think about anything, I just wanted to sleep, and it was better to wake up tomorrow and find that everything was just a nightmare.

Rumble..... A loud bang sounded in the night sky, and with this loud noise, Tongling Nancheng had a brilliant light, and then was called to withdraw the whole city, and the patrolling people shouted and panicked.

The sound of the cannon rang out again, like a thunderbolt urging everyone, waking everyone up from their dreams. Boom Boom Boom ...... A boom brought everyone to the world of the day. It's just that at night, the deadly cannon sound seems to be even more terrifying, and no one knows where the next shell will fall. A young man crawled out of the rubble, armed with a red tassel gun and despair in his eyes.

"It's another shot...... It's over, Tongling City is over....... This battle can't be fought......" As he spoke, the man burst into tears and his hands trembled violently. During the day, he watched familiar faces disappear in front of his eyes, and a team of twelve people was stunned by the loss of more than half of the bombing. The leader of the team was the worst, and was sent directly into the sky by a ball of fire, and when it fell, it became several pieces. At that time, everyone threw up......

Xu Beichuan woke up, he came to the city anxiously, fortunately the officers and soldiers did not attack the city, just a simple bombardment. Looking at the people who were shivering behind the battlements, he smiled bitterly in his heart, if the officers and soldiers attacked the city at this time, I am afraid that it would not take an hour to rush to the top of the city. Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that the soldiers under my command have long since lost their morale. Do you blame them? Under such artillery fire, everyone will be blown up.

Living Hades, Living Hades, don't you want money for your cannonballs? Xu Beichuan had never seen such a battle, let alone the use of artillery like this, and sometimes, he even wondered if the Living Yama King wanted to directly use artillery to blow up Tongling City.

In the northwest of Tongling, accompanied by beautiful fireworks, Zheng Guosong rubbed his forehead anxiously, "What's going on ahead?" Can it be passed? ”

"Leader Zheng, the bridge ahead has been broken by officers and soldiers, the river is too deep, we have to go through, we must go around from the south!" The words of the scout made Zheng Guo's heart feel like ashes, in the winter, if he forcibly crossed the river, it is estimated that after the pass, people will also be frozen stupid. What's more, Liu Guoneng's guy is waiting on the other side.

At this rate, when I arrived in Tongling City, it was estimated that the daylilies would be cold. Liu Guoneng, Liu Guoneng, this guy is really too difficult. It's not that Zheng Guosong doesn't want to work hard, but Liu Guoneng is full of cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and he doesn't give a chance at all. But you don't care, the other party will pounce and slash at any time.

The night was so long, even more torturous than the day.

When the sunlight penetrated the mist of dawn, when Xu Beichuan was most desperate, the cannon fire stopped. Not only did the artillery cease, but the officers and men stationed in the east also withdrew to the south, giving way to the east.

At this moment, Xu Beichuan understood that the Living Yama King took the initiative to give way and let the people in Tongling City break through. This is a clear move, you give me Tongling City, and I will let you get out of the east. As for whether the Living Yama King is trustworthy or not, Xu Beichuan doesn't know, but he knows that if he continues to stay in Tongling City, it will definitely be a dead end. To put it bluntly, sooner or later, it will be a breakthrough, whether this is a conspiracy of the living Hades or not, it seems that he can't help but take this road.

At that time, the gates of Tongling City made a heavy creaking sound, and the defenders of Tongling City set out from the east city and fled the city that had been brutalized by artillery fire.

Xu Beichuan withdrew, and Liu Guoneng naturally would not be entangled with Zheng Guosong anymore. Zheng Guosong seized the opportunity, passed through the north of Tongling City, and chased Xu Beichuan to the east. Xuanfu soldiers and horses quickly occupied Tongling City, but at this time Zhou Dingshan's soldiers and horses arrived belatedly, this army of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses through Lujiang City, through Pingchuan Town, came to the outside of Datong City.

Poor Li Zijian and Wang Ye suddenly found that they were trapped, and they had nowhere to escape. Originally, I stuck to Datong City, I had a wait-and-see mentality, if the battle situation in Tongling City was favorable, then go over and mix it up, if the situation was unfavorable, immediately abandon Datong and run away. As a result, after a night, Xu Beichuan of Tongling City and Zheng Guosong of Nijianghe all ran away, but the lonely city of Datong City was surrounded by officers and soldiers.

The people in Tongling City ran away, but the people in Chase City couldn't run, according to common sense, this shouldn't be!

Either way, it just happened.

Li Zijian is not Wang Ye, he did not surrender from the imperial court, so there is no pressure to surrender the officers and soldiers. However, Zhou Dingshan did not have the intention of surrendering, but only rested for half a day, and then ordered all troops and horses to launch a fierce attack on Datong City.

He Jingyuan also came over with a few cannons to help, where could the small Chase City withstand this ravage.

By the end of the evening, Chase City had changed hands. As soon as Li Zijian escaped from the city gate, he died under the random gun, but Wang Ye was nowhere to be found!
