"The thieves invaded the city yesterday, and Lord Geng of Zhizhou has also been martyred." Liu Jiuniu said as he turned around and kicked hard at the earthen wall behind him.

When the clod of earth fell, a hole about three feet high was revealed, and it was pitch black inside, and I didn't know where it leads.

Zhang Jun asked, "Where can this go?" ”

Liu Jiuniu replied: "Outside the city wall in the south of the city. Let's go, please follow me, adults! ”

After Liu Jiuniu finished speaking, he went into the hole.

Zhang Jun looked back at the tunnel he had fallen down before, the city was still searching for him, and it seemed that he could only climb out of the hole.

Zhang Jun followed Liu Jiuniu's ass and got in, it was dark inside, and there was no light on the two. The tentacles are covered with cool mud, and sometimes they are a little wet, so I wonder if it will get wet or collapse if it rains for a long time.

This Liu Jiuniu is really a cow, and he dug such a long hole in the ground, and I don't know how long it took, but he must have exhausted his strength.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade. Today, Zhang Jun can be regarded as stained with light.

The two of them kept crawling forward, and only the next person in the hole could move forward.

When you look up, there will be a slight breeze on your face, so that people can believe that you can go out ahead.

I don't know how long I climbed, but I finally saw a glimmer of light.

The fighting spirit of the two was rekindled, and they accelerated and crawled out.

Liu Jiuniu climbed to the end, pushed open the wooden plank used for covering his head, supported the hole with both hands, drilled out of the hole, and breathed the outside air in a big gulp.

Zhang Jun also crawled out.

The two leaned against the city walls, gasping for air.

It was still raining heavily, and the two men were wet from head to toe, and they looked at each other and laughed.

"Thank you, Brother Jiuniu!" Zhang Jun thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Jiuniu smirked and thought, "I can be regarded as having a fateful friendship with Lord Lieguo!" ”

Zhang Jun looked at the sky, it was gray, I don't know when the rain is going to fall, it will be late, so I should go to the east gate to find Yang Yizhong first, I have to quickly tell Yang Yizhong this bad news, and make a decision before the enemy notices that he has run away.

This hole is still located to the west of the south gate. The two walked a long way before they finally reached the corner of the southeast city wall.

As soon as Zhang Jun turned the corner, he saw the shadows of people and horses in the distance, chaotic, and through the heavy rain, he could hear a faint shouting of killing.

Oh no, the enemy is already attacking!

Liu Jiuniu hadn't figured out the situation yet, and asked: "What's going on in front, why are so many people doing?" ”

Zhang Jun said: "If my guess is correct, our army has been attacked by the thief army on both sides!" You find a place to hide first, I'll find a chance to flow into our camp, and when the battle is over, I'll come back to you! ”

Liu Jiuniu said: "No, my lord, let me be with you, I can protect you!" ”

Zhang Jun glanced at the jailer who was fleeing for his life, and he was not afraid of death. However, it is more meaningful for Liu Jiuniu to be alive than dead.

"Listen to my orders, find a place to hide, you are alive, and it is of great use!" Zhang Jun scolded, and after speaking, he didn't care whether Liu Niujiu listened to his orders or not, so he bent his waist and sneaked towards the Song army camp.

Liu Jiuniu didn't come to Hu, he followed Zhang Jun's advice. Since he can find a way to survive until now, he is not a fool.

"Boom, boom!"

A string of artillery bombardments rang out.

Yang Yizhong saw that General Guan led the troops and artillery from the camp, and General Guan informed Zhang Jun that he had been invited into the city by Lord Zhizhou, and let him set up defenses first.

Lieutenant General Yang Yi lined up the artillery to the east to prevent the thief army from attacking, and then waited for Zhang Jun to return to the camp.

But after an hour or two, Zhang Jun still hasn't returned to the camp.

Yang Yi was uneasy in the center and sent people to the city to inquire about Zhang Jun's news.

When the inquirer arrived at the city gate, he saw that the gate was closed, and no one opened it. He looked up and asked the guards above, and the guards replied, "You can't open the door without an order from Lord Zhizhou." ”

The spy turned around and informed Yang Yizhong of the news, Yang Yizhong felt strange, and was about to go to inquire in person, when he suddenly probed the Malay newspaper and found a large number of thieves five miles to the east, who were rushing towards his own camp.

In Zhang Jun's absence, Yang Yizhong assumed the post of temporary commander.

Yang Yi was not alarmed and in danger, and immediately ordered to prepare for battle, and at the same time sent people to Zhaozhou City to inform the thieves of the attack.

Yelu Daqi received the express report, Zhang Jun only entered the city with a dozen personal guards, presumably unable to escape death. As soon as Zhang Jun died, the Song army was leaderless, and he and Lin Tong surrounded the Song army before and after, and the Song army would definitely be defeated. When the Song army was defeated, it would be too late to take away the baggage like the cannon, and he could take it for granted.

It is a pity that the large forces and artillery of the Song army were not introduced into the city, otherwise it would have been twice the result with half the effort.

Taking advantage of the heavy rain to cover, Yelu Daqi led 40,000 soldiers to pounce on the Song army camp.

Yang Yizhong was ready for battle, and the two armies were five miles east of the city to start a battle of life and death. Glamorous e-books

These soldiers of the Song Army are all battle-hardened, and many of them are soldiers who went to Mobei with Zhang Jun to conquer the barbarian army, not only have excellent comprehensive combat ability, but also have morale like a rainbow.

On the other hand, the soldiers of Yelu Daqi, although they are known as soldiers in the northeast to recruit envoys, have also won some battles, and have even won big cities like Huining Mansion and small states like Zhaozhou City, sitting on hundreds of kilometers of land.

But the enemies they used to face were bandits or disobedient natives. Equipped with weapons, it is definitely not as good as the Song army raised by his own mother and father, and some of them are traditional bows and arrows, knives and guns.

Such a comparison is a judgment.

But Jerod was not afraid, and he didn't think so.

Their soldiers are all descendants of Yelu Abaoji or Wanyan Aguta, all of whom are bloody men, and they still have dreams of justice and yearn for the dawn of revenge.

In a word, they are not afraid of death!

But not being afraid of death does not mean that you will not die.

After the real battle is about to break out, the two sides are entangled with crossbows against arrows, guns against guns, and horses against horses. Song Jun had a red cloth wrapped around his right arm to show his difference from the other party, otherwise the two sides would be dressed uniformly, and it was very likely that they would accidentally injure their companions.

Although at the beginning of the crossbow arrow shooting stage, Yelu Daqi's troops suffered a big loss, but fortunately, they had commendable courage and were not afraid of death, and resisted the crossbow arrows of the Song army with their majestic bodies. The cavalry and infantry in the rear rushed forward and engaged the Song army in a white-knuckle battle with real swords and guns.

The Song army was 50,000, and the thief army was only 40,000. Yang Yizhong's 8,000 cavalry was a free force, like a scavenger, rushing left and right, shuttling back and forth, constantly harvesting the enemy's heads.

Just when Yang Yizhong thought that he had the chance to win, there was suddenly a big chaos behind him.

It turned out that the Song army went to the city to inform the thieves that they were coming, and they were killed by a random arrow in the city. Then as soon as the city gate opened, Lin Tong led nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses to rush out of the city gate and kill the Song army.

At first, Song Jun thought it was a friendly army from the city, but it wasn't until the other party tore off his hypocritical mask and killed Song Jun that Song Jun knew that people wearing the same clothes might not be friends.

Yang Yizhong received the news that he was attacked by the enemy behind him, and hurriedly ordered General Guan to lead more than 10,000 people and hurriedly turn back to meet the enemy.

10,000 Song troops, and nearly 20,000 thieves on the other side, fought for a while, entangled.

Yang Yizhong knew that the biggest enemy came from the Yelu banner in the east, and he ordered the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to tear off the tarpaulin from the cannon, one cannon, two people held umbrellas, and then the others loaded ammunition, aimed, and fired in order.

Fortunately, the fuse of the shell was not wet, and all 10 shells were fired in the first round, which caused the rear of the enemy to jump, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Yelu Daqi was commanding in the rear, and when he saw a cannon flying, if it weren't for the nimble legs and feet of the horse under his crotch, he would probably have become a victim.

Yelu Daqi was furious and ordered the cavalry to intensify the charge towards the Song army's artillery, and did everything possible to destroy the Song Dynasty's artillery bombardment.

The Song army had several rounds of artillery bombardment, which made the Yelu banner dizzy, the rear formation was in chaos, and it was difficult for the front army to effectively break through, and the rear army could only disperse to both sides.

Yelu Daqi thought, if it goes on like this, it is not a way, his army's combat strength is not as good as the Song army, and if it continues like this, it will definitely be himself who will suffer in the end. Yelu Daqi resolutely organized nearly 10,000 soldiers in the rear, and the Ma army and infantry army together, outflanked the Song army from the flank.

Yang Yizhong saw that his left flank was attacked by the Yelu banner, so he led 8,000 troops from the camp to meet the Yelu banner. Otherwise, let the Yelu banner enter the camp, and the cannons of the Shenji Battalion will become decorations, useless.

If you want to fight, I will fight!

Yang Yizhong brandished a big lance and met the spear of the Yelu banner in front of him.

"You're the banner of Jeru, aren't you? Isn't your behavior like this a confirmation that King Xiang has a heart of disobedience, and is ashamed of King Xiang's promotion of you! Yang Yizhong said while fighting.

The Yelu banner will snatch the big lance that the opponent stabbed diagonally, leaned over and shook the spear, and stabbed Yang Yizhong in the chest, but was blocked by Yang Yizhong's turn lance tail.

Yelu Daqi shot back: "The traitors in the court are in charge, I want to do the right thing for heaven, eliminate the traitors, and return the world to a refreshing and peaceful, bright and prosperous world!" ”

"Joke! I think you're a rat poop and a bad pot of porridge! I advise you to surrender quickly! Yang Yi said.

Yelu Daqi smiled: "Surrender so that I can leave a whole corpse?" Ha ha! Princes and generals, rather have a kind! ”

Yang Yizhong said disdainfully: "This is your true ambition, right?" Hum! Take your life! ”

After the two shouted and scolded for a while, they stopped talking nonsense, and each made frequent tricks, and they were bound to put each other to death as soon as possible.

The torrential rain had turned into moderate rain, and horses' hooves and human feet were constantly trampling the muddy ground, and from time to time people fell into puddles.

In the Great Song military camp, the artillery was still rumbling and bombarding intermittently. After a rainstorm soaking, some of the fuses could not be ignited, but most of them could still be used.

To the west of the rear of the Song army, near the city gate, General Guan's 10,000 soldiers and horses and Lin Tong's nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses were inextricably killed, and a group of melee battles.

Lin Tong caught a glimpse of General Guan in the confusion, brandished a big knife and rushed over.

When General Guan saw Lin Tong, he was even more red when he saw each other, if it wasn't for Lin Tong's deception, Marshal Zhang would not have been heard from so far. Let's take down this thief and force him to find out the whereabouts of the marshal.

Lin Tong rode his horse and drove at full speed to kill General Guan, and halfway through, suddenly a cavalryman of his own side rushed towards him from the right rear stab, raising his spear and stabbing him.

Just when the tip of the opponent's spear was about to pierce his back, Lin Tong fell to the left side, and hid on the horse's back to the left side of the horse's belly, just grabbing this fatal blow.

Lin Tong's secret path is so dangerous, he is almost about to confess here. Lin Tong didn't care about rushing to General Guan anymore, pulled the reins of the horse together, and dragged the horse to the left front.

Lin Tong looked back at the cavalry who had stabbed him from behind just now, but heard General Guan exclaim in surprise: "Marshal!" ”

That's right, the one who just stabbed at Lin Tong from the back was really Marshal Zhang Jun Zhang, the Duke of Lieguo.

Zhang Jun secretly said that it was a pity, nodded to General Guan on the opposite side, and the two of them rode their horses together to chase and kill Lin Tong.
