Seeing that the Thirteen Lang Divisions broke through several Khitan military camps, crossed the river on ice, and approached the military city, Du Zhongxiao looked up at the rising sun and said to Shi Quanbin: "After a while, the whole army is arrayed and fights with the Khitan in the valley." You and I sit here and watch the battle at the foot of the mountain. ”

Shi Quanbin hesitated for a moment and said: "To be controlled, the two armies will fight to the death, how can the commander not come to the battlefield in person?" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "According to the previous drill, the battalion commander should not be on the battlefield in person. However, today's incident happened suddenly, and Yang Wenguang and Zhao Zi could only lead the troops in person instead of the old practice. The two of them are veterans, and they are used to it. ”

Shi Quanbin said: "If the boss doesn't come in person, the morale of the whole army——"

Du Zhongxiao said: "The battalion is used to this, and there is no need to worry about the regimental training." In the future, there will be artillery, and the commander will step forward and be targeted by the enemy, and a few cannons will result in death, how can the battle be fought? Today, Yang Wenguang and Zhao Zi went to the battlefield in person, also because of the ineffective Khitan artillery fire on the opposite side. ”

"That's right. In the past two days, it has been clear that several of the Khitan cannons are used to siege the city. Their artillery is not good, it is difficult to move, and yesterday there was no canal to deal with the iron armor. Now there was an accident in the city, and it looked like it was being shipped back. ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded, what Shi Quanbin said was the normal state of artillery, Song Jun had his own guidance, and a large group of technical talents insisted on continuous improvement for several years, so that they have what they are today. The Khitan cannon was learned from the Song Dynasty, and the court officials were all described by others, and no one had seen the cannon used by the Song Dynasty with their own eyes. Now like this, they think it is great, the siege of the city is much more convenient than before, this time the attack on the party is a big victory, the army is not a few artillery meritorious service. When they arrived in Tanglong Town, they faced the artillery of the Song army defending the city, only to know that their artillery was still far behind.

Peony turned to look at the bottom of the mountain, and a group of Song cavalry was idle and cold, coming straight to the city. When they arrived outside the city, most of them dismounted and blocked the city gate with long axes. On both flanks were cavalry, holding the position. Yan Yuanwai said to Yan Yuanwai on the side: "Outside, you see that someone from the Song Army has come to save the city, maybe the city can't be broken." Why don't we wait here and go back to the city when the battle is over? ”

Yan Yuanwai said: "Don't you don't want to go back?" ”

Peony said: "I'm not going back to Yu Dujian, and I'm not leaving the Song Realm. When I left, I saw that although General Liu couldn't get up on the ground, he still guarded the city gate, and Yu Dujian jumped into the city and ran away. Yu Dujian is gone, why not go back? When you go to the Khitan, is it better than Tanglong Town? I've heard people say that Dongshengzhou is even more sinister than Tanglong Town. ”

Qiaoqiao nodded again and again: "What my sister said is true." Tanglong Town is not good, it's just that we people are suffering and have to hide. This is not the case in Dongshengzhou, they don't even hide, and no one asks if the master kills the slave. ”

Yan Yuanwai said: "My business is in the north, since you have come with me, don't think about going back." Regardless of whether they fight to the death, it is not early to hurry up! Have eaten my food and put on my clothes, and then in a moment they will not recognize me? Don't be wordy, don't let me be driven away with a whip! ”

looked at the few entourages outside Yan Yuan, none of them were good faces, Peony and Qiaoqiao had no choice but to continue walking north.

After Liu Huai left, Peony and Coincidentally met Yan Yuan, who packed up his belongings and left the city, and was regarded as a former benefactor. Yan Yuanwai changed the clothes for the two, used soup, and asked them to follow him. The kind of life that the two of them have lived in the past few years, this kind of person is considered a good person, so they went out of the city with it.

Peony still remembers that when he went out of the city, he saw General Liu, who gave him a bun, covered in blood and holding a knife, although there were few people around, he still forced Yu Jingyang to not get out of the city. Sometimes I also think that maybe that kind of person is like Song Jun, not everyone is like Yu Jingyang. But this kind of thing, who knows. For example, if a person lives in the dark all the time, he does not know what the sun is like.

Zhou Su heard the news, hurriedly climbed to the head of the city, saw Thirteen Lang standing in front of the array with a long axe, and hurriedly shouted: "Outside are the soldiers and horses led by the master of the martial army?" The last general Zhou Su! ”

When Thirteen Lang heard this, he hurriedly walked to the bottom of the city, saw that the head of the city was Zhou Su, and said loudly: "Yes, it's me!" What about Liu Huai? ”

Zhou Su shook his head: "Military master, Yu Jingyang in the city is in turmoil, and we are blocked in——"

"Where's Liu Huai?"

"Liu Huaijun led more than ten people to guard the city gate, was besieged by Yu Jingyang and his own soldiers, was seriously wounded, and has gone——"

Thirteen Lang was silent for a while before he said sharply: "How is it in the city?" ”

Zhou Su said: "There are still people making trouble. There are soldiers in the city, and there are also Khitan fine works. We were less than a hundred, so we had to defend the city first. The last general sent ten men to rectify the soldiers and horses in the city, but there was no news of him. ”

Thirteen Lang said: "Open the city gate!" There are more than 100 iron armors in Suizhou here, all of which you are familiar with, let them enter the city, and they will be under your control for the time being. Anyone who does not obey military orders, regardless of military or civilian, will be killed! I am defending the city here, and without your cannons, I will not become the target of the Khitans! ”

Zhou Su didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the opening of the city, and when he arrived in front of Shilang, he sang a promise with his hands crossed.

Now the situation in the city is very chaotic, the soldiers guarding the city are unstable, without the orders of the Thirteen Lang, Zhou Su saw the reinforcements coming, and he did not dare to open the city gate. For fear of another chaos, the formation outside the city will be scattered.

Thirteen Lang looked at Zhou Su, and after a while, he asked Liu Huai how he was killed, and said: "You bring a hundred iron armor into the city, first suppress the bullets in the city, and those who disobey the military order and make trouble, kill!" As long as you settle down, don't ask about the rest, and don't make trouble! When the war is over, it is up to the military and the people to make decisions. Also, guard Liu Huai's body. Let's come north together—"

Speaking of this, he waved his hand and asked Zhou Su to enter the city with more than 100 iron armor from the Yingtianxiang army. With this hundred iron armor, the unstable military city defenders will no longer have different thoughts and can defend the city with peace of mind. When the morale of the army is stable, the chaos will be quickly calmed down.

Watching the city gate slowly close, Thirteen Lang returned to the front of the battle and said to several forbidden army generals such as Jingdu: "Yu Jingyang, the defender of the city, suddenly committed treason and defected to the enemy, and has jumped off the city wall and fled to the Khitans. Now the city is in chaos, and as a precaution, I ordered the gates to be closed. Today, we will line up together with the city, no matter how many Khitans come, we will be killed here! Wu has a certain life, and today he lives and dies with you! ”

The generals of the forbidden army sang the promise together, and their morale was strong, and they were not affected by the chaos in the city.

These generals of the forbidden army originally looked down on the camp and the Tianxiang army. After leaving Kaifeng Mansion, he used various reasons to compete with Thirteen Lang, and was subdued by Thirteen Lang. Although they have only been together for a short time, they all recognize Thirteen Lang, and the military order is smooth. Without the ability of Thirteen Lang, these ironclad cavalry temporarily incorporated into the camp Tianxiang Army would not listen to the command of the generals sent by Du Zhongxiao at all, and the leaders could only be their people.

Seeing that the army under the mountain was assembled, Du Zhongxiao was about to order Shuai Qi to point forward and attack the whole army, Shi Quanbin suddenly said: "To be controlled, look at the Khitan side, sent soldiers and horses to stop us!" Also, they organized soldiers and horses to attack the military city! ”

Du Zhongxiao looked at the Khitan soldiers who were in front of the valley barracks, there were enough as many as 10,000 people, and there were steps and horses, and it was no longer yesterday's temptation. On the other side, most of the infantry was also in formation, obviously to cross the river and attack the city.
