The army was defeated, and there was no way to save it. After the arrival of reinforcements from the Dongjiang Army, the enemy army collapsed in an instant.

The only pity is that Chengzuo's manpower is still a little less, so in the end, nearly a thousand enemy troops took advantage of the chaos to escape and disappeared into the vast mountains, unable to stop again.

The battle was won, the enemy army was defeated, and the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army were very happy, but Cheng Zuo's face was full of sourness, not to mention anything else, more than a dozen of his personal guards finally died in this battle, and there were less than five survivors, one of whom was uncertain at the moment, and it is estimated that he would be a waste person who could survive in the end, and he would never be on the battlefield again.

"General, in this battle, we have destroyed more than 1,000 enemies and not a single prisoner." After counting the battlefield, the deputy general quickly came to report to Cheng Zuo.

"What are the casualties of our brethren?" Although Chengzuo is still unknown, he doesn't dare to hope for any good results.

The adjutant general paused for a moment when he heard this, and then hesitated and said, "General, our casualties are relatively serious. ”

Cheng Zuo stared at the triangular eyes and scolded viciously: "If you tell you to say it, if you dare to spit it out, Lao Tzu will cut off your head first." ”

The adjutant general's body trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly said: "We have killed a total of 300 brothers, and the number of wounded has reached more than 400, half of whom are seriously injured. Although they are not worried about their lives, their subordinates estimate that even if they are healed, they may never be able to go to the battlefield again. ”

Hearing such a result still made Cheng Zuo's heart ache fiercely, and it was obvious that the result still exceeded his expectations, almost twice as many places as he originally expected.

"Bury all the bodies, and bring back the bodies of the brothers for burial. We must finish the work before dark, we must go back as soon as possible to join the army, tomorrow Lao Tzu will personally lead the army, set foot in the city of Hangzhou. Li Dingguo's subordinates, none of them want to escape. Viciously throwing down the words, Chengzuo turned around and left.

It took a long time for the stunned deputy general to come back to his senses, looking at the back of Cheng Zuo who was about to disappear from sight, the deputy general sighed lightly and went to work quickly.

When night fell, the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army had just cleaned up the battlefield, without the slightest nostalgia, and quickly left the mountain of Zhangjia Village under the order of Chengzuo. Although there are no corpses on the deserted mountain, the smell of blood here has not yet dissipated, and the mess all over the ground bears witness to the fierce battle that has just been experienced here.

The patriarch of Zhangjia Village, accompanied by more than a dozen villagers, slowly came to the battlefield, raised his eyes and looked around for a while, and then the patriarch looked at the direction of the departure of the Dongjiang Army and sighed faintly: "This Dongjiang Army is indeed extraordinary, and it has defeated more than 2,000 bandits with only 400 people. ”

The strength of the Dongjiang Army once again shocked the villagers of Zhangjia Village, and the patriarch was even more deeply touched at the moment, and even began to regret a little that he had not let his son bring people out to help the Dongjiang Army defeat the bandits. Missing such a good opportunity to make friends with the Dongjiang Army made him very annoyed.

"Patriarch, what shall we do now?" The old man's son crept up behind him and asked.

"What to do? It's getting dark, it's time to go back to dinner! The patriarch didn't pay attention to his son's confusion at all, and walked leisurely towards Zhangjia Village with his hands behind his back.

The Dongjiang Army did not say goodbye this time, obviously Zhangjiacun was already safe. The old man's only concern was the fate of Zhangjiacun, and now that he knew that Zhangjiacun would not be attacked by bandits again, then what else did he have to worry about.

Cheng Zuo returned triumphantly with his subordinates, but there was no joy at all, and he ordered as soon as he returned to the army garrison, and the 30,000 army was ready to go. As soon as dawn broke, 30,000 Dongjiang troops set off in a mighty way, heading straight for the city of Hangzhou, 20 miles away.

The defeated army that fled last night had already returned to Hangzhou City by this moment, and the general defending the city learned that his men had suffered heavy casualties. Immediately realized that the matter was serious, and did not dare to delay for a moment, so he sent a messenger overnight to deliver the news to Li Dingguo.

When Chengzuo led 30,000 troops to the city, the defenders of Hangzhou City were already on guard, the city gate was closed, and the city tower was densely packed with soldiers holding weapons and wearing armor.

"The hot air balloon will be lifted into the air, and Lao Tzu will be bombarded hard...... "Chengzuo threw away the binoculars in his hand and ordered loudly to the herald waiting beside him.

The sound ......of the horn immediately sounded and echoed in the air.

Ten hot air balloons slowly rose into the air and floated towards the city of Hangzhou. Cheng Zuo dared to launch the hot air balloon this time, because he had already figured out that the enemy army in Hangzhou City was not equipped with those giant crossbows like Li Dingguo.

"Boom ......"

Li Dingguo's subordinates looked at the hot air balloon floating in the air, their faces were at a loss, and they didn't know what this thing was?

And just when they were in doubt, the hot air balloon in the air was not polite, and the fire oil and gunpowder packets were already pouring down like drops. In an instant, the entire eastern city of Hangzhou turned into a sea of fire, and most of the enemy troops who had no defense were burned alive.

......After a loud bang, the city gate collapsed, and I saw three soldiers of the Dongjiang Army who had just gone to blow up the city gate with explosives bags, and they came back with a disgraced face at this moment, and reported to Chengzuo with a smile: "General, the city gate has been completely blown up, and the army can enter the city at any time to kill the enemy!" ”

"Kill ......"

Cheng Zuo didn't say a word, brandished his saber and shouted, and then rode his horse and galloped, and was the first to rush out. Behind him, 30,000 officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately strode forward.

The combination of air and ground perfectly demonstrated the tactics of the Dongjiang Army, and even beat the enemy army to the point of being powerless. If it weren't for the fact that there were still many people in the city, Cheng Zuo was afraid that those Li Dingguo's subordinates would threaten the lives of the people when they couldn't resist it. Chengzuo prefers to let the hot air balloon in the air directly destroy the entire city, so as not to have to carry out such a bloody battle.

Li Dingguo's army was doomed to defeat, and the Dongjiang army, under the cover of hot air balloons, rushed into the city without any hindrance.

As soon as Chengzuo entered the city, he found that many Li Dingguo's troops were fleeing for their lives in the city, and the opportunity could not be lost and not come again, so he immediately ordered to rush and kill, and no one was left. More than half of his guards were killed and wounded, which made Cheng Zuo's heart full of anger at the moment, and he had no mercy when facing the enemy.

In the streets and alleys of Hangzhou, the sound of killing was everywhere, and in the face of the fierce Dongjiang army, which was as brave as a beast, the enemy army could only retreat. Those who escaped more slowly were directly hacked to death on the street by the Dongjiang Army.
