Fierce battles are raging outside the city, and changes are regenerated inside the city.

The Yuan army at the south gate was already retreating step by step, and in a hurry, the commander of the army was in a hurry, and urgently ordered Yanqilou to bring all the detained Shuntian army family members and coerce the enemy with hostages.

Not long after, less than half of the hostages who were originally planned to be detained arrived in front of the army, Yanqilou was strange, and there were subordinates who came back from inquiring about the news to report that most of the family members of the Jing'an Military Department were rescued by the thieves in the city, and they didn't know where to hide in the night. Only these hostages held elsewhere were still in the hands of the Yuan army.

In desperation, the Yuan army pushed these hostages to the front of the battle, claiming that if the Shuntian army did not surrender, they would behead all these hostages in front of the army!

Because of the scruples of the hostages, the Shuntian army and other officers and men could not help but stop the momentum of the forward rush, and the enemy and us began to gather their formations, forming a situation of confrontation. The battlefield that was originally killing and shaking the sky quickly quieted down, and the atmosphere became even more depressing!

Ming Xiong, Qu Bo and several officers of Liu Zhengfeng's department looked at the nearly 100 old and weak hostages opposite, and they were at a loss for a while, although they did not see the family members of the Jing'an Army, Ming Xiong was a little apprehensive in his heart, but it was better not to see him at this time than to see him.

Soon a corpse was raised on a wooden pole and placed in front of the battle, the Yuan army claimed to be Liu Zhengfeng's corpse, and Mingxiong immediately announced that this was a Tatar fish-eye trick, which barely stabilized Liu's military heart.

"Captain Qu, leave it to us here, you can divide a part to break through from the left and right wings along the city wall, it is estimated that the north gate of the city has been taken by the Tartars and needs to be recaptured. Those who stay can sweep the battle for us! ”

Qu Bo is the captain of Liu Zhengfeng's department, guarding the camp outside the city, except for Liu Zhengfeng and Yu Shichang, he has the highest military rank. Most of the family members on the opposite side are the families of officers at all levels of Liu Zhengfeng's department, and they naturally can't bear to let their family members be hurt! With concerns, the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and Mingxiong simply asked Qu Bo to make a detour from both wings, so as not to waver in the morale of the army if he stayed here.

Qu Bo looked at the situation, knew what Ming Xiong was thinking, and said: "Please also ask Brother Ming to take care of my family, and I will leave one for you to dispatch." When the north gate is recaptured, these Tartars will be wiped out! After speaking, he personally led the troops and ordered his subordinates to attack from the two wings, and the main force of the Yuan army was mostly facing the enemy in the front, and the two wings could not resist at all, so he broke through.

On the other side, the Yuan army was about to kill the hostages, but Mingxiong pushed out more than a dozen captured Yuan army soldiers from behind, including Jia Daozhen, the deputy Qianhu who had just fought with Mingxiong, claiming that as long as the Yuan army dared to make a move, he would accompany him here!

Jia Daozhen was terrified, although he had an old relationship with Mingxiong, but now they are their masters, and the battle between the two armies in front of the battle can not tolerate mercy, seeing the indifferent face of the other Yuan army Qianhu, Jia Daozhen was so anxious that Jia Daozhen shouted: "Brother Boyan save me!" Brother Boyan save me! ”

Seeing that the captive led by Qianhu was Jia Daozhen, he was also shocked, and hesitated in his heart, the two had some friendship in the army, and they couldn't help frowning.

The two sides froze.

In the military camp in the city, Baotou was already covered in blood, panting like a cow, and there were less than forty companions around him, and the rest were all killed. Seeing that persuasion to surrender was fruitless, the Yuan army finally launched the final blow, the disparity in strength was too great, and Baotou's subordinates could not resist the opponent's advantage of having more people no matter how desperately they resisted.

The Yuan army was proud, when he heard a burst of chaos behind him, and the sound of killing suddenly sounded, and the Yuan soldiers scattered like frightened grasshoppers.

"What's going on?" Qianhu looked back and found that a large number of enemy troops suddenly rushed from behind, slashing and killing, and the Yuan army was powerless to resist.

"Kill, avenge the brethren!" This is the arrival of the soldiers and horses of the Wanjin Sea Department.

"Brother Bao, reinforcements are coming!" A man who was also covered in blood suddenly lost his strength after seeing the change, and reluctantly stood on the ground with a knife, and said to Baotou with tears streaming down his face.

"Brother Bao, wake up! Wake up! But it was another person who saw that Baotou suddenly fainted, and hurriedly held him up and called.

In Tian Lie's house, Tian Lie frowned tightly and kept pacing in the courtyard, the courtyard door had long been covered, and the door latch was up. A servant climbed the ladder and went up to the roof, looking at the movements of the city, and from time to time he bowed down to tell the story of his discoveries.

Yu Lan, several sisters and aunts all stood in the courtyard nervously listening to the sounds of killing everywhere. After they were rescued, Ming Shi Jiesi thought about it and quietly sent these dozens of people to Tian Lie's house. After all, the Tian Mansion is relatively wide, and Tian Lie has been teaching some Jing'an soldiers to read and write, and he dares to take people in at this turbulent moment.

In the south city, Yan Qilou and other generals of the Yuan army hurriedly dispatched troops to fill the gap in the face of the two wings being broken through, but the Yuan army is now relatively weak and it is difficult to resist the offensive of the two wings. When he was anxious, there was a commotion in the rear, a soldier ran over to report urgently, the north gate was lost, a large number of thieves entered the city, and the Yuan army that was fighting in the rear was completely defeated, and the Yuan army that was surrounded by a thousand households could not break through, so send this soldier to report the news, and it is estimated that the thief army will soon rush here!

When the news came, all the generals were shocked, there were only two gates in Linqu City, and now both gates were in the hands of the enemy, and the enemy in front of them had the upper hand, and everyone in the city was in danger! I really don't know how the Yuan army outside the city fought? According to the pre-war plan, at this time, most of the enemies outside the city should have been cleared and retreated, and at this time, it should be the army that entered the city to assist the front army to exterminate the thief army!

Yan Qilou felt sad in his heart, he had been planning for many days, but in the end he not only failed, but even found himself in danger, which was unpredictable!

The rest of the Yuan army generals Zuo's faces stiffened, and they all looked at the Yuan army standing in the middle, he was the highest-ranking person who entered the city this time.

After looking at the generals' expressions left and right, and then observing the movements of the enemy troops on the opposite side, he immediately said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the back road is blocked and there is no hope of moving forward, there is no point in continuing to fight here, so I intend to retreat to the vicinity of the north gate and strive to recapture the city gate." At the very least, hold a place near it. It won't take an hour for the army of Yidu to arrive, and the advantages of the various departments outside the city will definitely be in the hands of our army after they converge with it. When the time comes, the inside and the outside should be combined, or it can achieve miraculous results! ”

This town Fu thought about it, and then said to Yan Qilou: "Please also ask Lord Yan to immediately send a capable person to think out of the city, and tell the Yidu army about the current situation and plans of our army." ”

Yan Qilou: "It's urgent, and my subordinates will send people!" ”

Not to mention how Yanqilou sent people out of the city, it was a difficult problem to withdraw troops and return to the north gate before the battle. The Yuan army did not dare to retreat even if the troops were swarming, and the second was to leave some men and horses and slowly retreat in batches. As for those hostages, they were naturally placed at the back, and if the Shuntian army dared to attack, they would behead these hostages first.

According to the original intention of the suppression, if the opponent did not surrender with equipment, he would behead these hostages in batches, at least so that the opponent would not dare to fight with all his strength because of his scruples, so that he might be able to obtain the South City Gate. It's just that now the situation has changed greatly, and these hostages have to be left behind.

Qu Bo and Mingxiong soon found that the Yuan army had moved, although the Yuan army in the vanguard did not make much movement, but it could be seen that the expressions of these Yuan soldiers were obviously nervous, and some soldiers looked back from time to time. As for the turmoil in the rear of the Yuan army, because it was dark at night, it was impossible to see its changes clearly from a distance, but the instability of the Yuan army's front was definitely not wrong! Qu Bo waved his hand, and the forward line began to press.

As soon as this side moved, the Yuan army suddenly shrank nervously behind the hostages, kept waving swords and guns and shouting to strengthen their courage, the two sides gradually approached, and finally the swords and guns were almost in contact. Seeing that the Yuan army was timid, Jia Daozhen and other prisoners had already been temporarily dragged aside by Mingxiong, and these prisoners were able to survive the fierce battle just now thanks to Mingxiong's soft-heartedness for a while.

After the Yuan army was calmed down and cut off, he continued to command the retreats of the various departments, and Mingxiong and Qu Bo also saw that this was the Yuan army retreating. Although I don't know what the reason is, after all, it is the first time that the Yuan army has shown its decline after entering the city, and Qu Bo is still unknown, but Mingxiong has guessed some reasons, and it is estimated that the war outside the city has taken a turn for the better.

Take advantage of his illness to kill him.

Mingxiong and Qu Bo immediately ordered their subordinates to follow closely, because there were hostages in the middle, and the Shuntian army could not directly engage the enemy. The county seat of Linqu is not big, the width of the main street is only five or six zhang, these thousands of people are densely crowded on the main street, only more than 100 people in front of the enemy can face the opposite side, and most people can not fight at all. That's why Mingxiong and Qu Bo had the idea of trying to make a detour from the wings, so as to avoid the scruples of the hostages on the other side.

In this way, a strange scene was formed, there were many people on both sides, but because of the hostages, the retreating Yuan army was gesturing with knives and guns on the hostages' heads, and they wanted to slash, while the Shuntian army threatened the other party, one step at a time. Now the two sides seem to be comparing who has the loudest voice and whose shouting is more hoarse and terrifying.

The face-to-face confrontation was both boring and somewhat chaotic, and the outflanked Shuntian soldiers soon became entangled with each other with the rear of the Yuan army.

Hearing the battle on both sides of the street, the retreating Yuan army was obviously more panicked, if it were not for the strong restraint of officers at all levels, I was afraid that the Yuan army would have collapsed and dispersed under pressure.

"My lord, I'll take one of my own and stick it behind the tartar!" Sun Xing saw that the outflanking of the two wings was very effective, and he couldn't help but ask Mingxiong for his life. He led the team just now, interspersed a few streets, disrupted the defense of the Yuan army, and now he wants to do it again.

"Yes! Captain Sun, the main purpose of your trip is to find and rescue Xie Xiancheng, the corpse hanging by the Tartar just now is the Shuntian King himself, if it weren't for the accident behind the Tartar, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support our army's morale, since I have not seen Xie Xiancheng and my Jing'an army family so far, presumably they are still alive, so in order to prevent the Tartar dog from jumping off the wall, you must rescue them as much as possible! ”

"I can save it! It's all about saving people! ”

"Now that the Tartar's wings are loose, you can lead the team to go quickly!" Mingxiong Road.

Sun Xing arched his hand and said: "Order!" He turned around and led the two groups into an alley off the main street.

Xie Lin was detained alone in a wing room behind the gate of the county government, and Yan Qilou was worried about what he had done, so he was strictly guarded. This Xie Lin has a prominent position in the thief army, and with a living mouth, the weight of this credit is even heavier.

For the sake of insurance, the leader of the guards directly leaned Xie Lin against the pillar of the house, tied his hands, tied a strong tie to the pillar, and stuffed a large piece of cloth on his mouth, the source of which was the coat of the corpse of a messenger on the ground.

Xie Lin has been lamenting his fate in his heart, just now I heard a few guards laughing and talking, it turned out that Liu Zhengfeng's family was also killed by the Yuan army, and his body had been hung in front of the two armies to reduce the morale of the opponent, and now the Shuntian army has no leader, and Yu Zhilong in the Jing'an army is leading the army outside, tonight's battle must be difficult for the Shuntian army to turn around!

However, Xie Lin gradually felt a little strange, it is said that it has been half an hour since the Yuan army sneaked into the city, how can he hear the sound of killing in the city still does not stop, and even the sound of fighting in the direction of the two city gates and the direction of the military camp is even higher.

The battle situation in the city has been fruitless, and the guards have gradually become impatient, going in and out of the county office several times, and looking at Xie Lin with a much more vicious gaze.
