Chenzhou, Xiangcheng.

On the top of the South Gate Tower, Liu Heng, the commander of the Xiangcheng Soldiers and Horses, stood tall at the head of the city, staring at the distance tightly.

Thundered!

With the faint sound of thunder, I saw a dark cloud slowly gushing out of the sky, and then covering the entire sky, and the whole heaven and earth were black and oppressive, like a river pouring down, rolling in.

"The Liangshan Bandit Army is here!" The exclamations of the city came and went, as if the end of the world was coming.

"Locusts, locusts that destroy the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty!" Liu Heng gritted his teeth and shouted.

More than 10,000 soldiers and horses came in a surge, like a stormy wave, and under the deafening footsteps, the defenders on the city tower were panicked and at a loss.

Finally, one mile away from the city, more than 10,000 Liangshan troops slowly stopped.

In the center of the army, a big flag hunted in the wind, and the four big words "for the heavens" loomed on the banner.

Under the banner, a leader of the Liangshan Bandit Army in full armor restrained his horse's feet, narrowed his eyes, raised his head to see more than a thousand Song troops waiting in battle, and the corners of his mouth showed a look of disdain.

I saw that this person was extremely burly, with a red face, thick eyebrows, a wide mouth, wearing a red tasseled iron helmet, wearing a red battle robe, a jacket chain chain armor, stepping on a pair of green Yungen combat boots, and the war horse under his crotch was as high as seven feet and five, extremely strong, holding a mace full of iron nails, it looked like he was not twenty or thirty pounds.

This well-armored equipment looks like a thief, but if it is not standing in front of the Liangshan bandit, it looks like a general of the Song army.

Under the sun, his eyes widened, he looked fiercely at the officials and soldiers at the head of the city, raised his mace suddenly, and raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar.

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

The more than 10,000 Liangshan troops behind them raised all kinds of weapons in their hands, letting out a roar like a tsunami, and the weapons of the forest were intertwined into a dead forest under the sun.

At this moment, from the dense crowd, a person rushed out and rushed towards the city.

This person is another scene, I saw that he was born like a half-cut iron tower, with a full beard, his face was as black as a pot, he looked like a half-cut iron tower, wearing a coat, opening his chest, revealing thick black and dense chest hair and bulging muscles, holding a pair of large iron axes of more than ten catties, and he did not wear shoes, so he was barefoot, stepping on a slip of smoke and dust, and ran to the city tower in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that it was only thirty or forty steps away from the city wall, the black man stopped, raised his axe, and shouted at the city tower: "Straight lady thief, the dog officers and soldiers in the city listen to grandpa, your grandfather is called Black Whirlwind, and the grandfathers behind are all heroes of Liangshan, if you want to borrow grain and grass and ten thousand stones, please open the city gate quickly, offer grain and grass, if you don't give it, grandpa will smash the city gate and kill a chicken and dog!" ”

Although the words were vulgar, the sound was like a thunderbolt in the flat ground, and it was so loud that it could be heard within a radius of a mile.

The more than 1,000 Song soldiers on the city tower saw that this person not only looked like a fierce god, but also had a voice like Grandpa Lei, and they couldn't help but change their faces.

That Liu Heng had also learned some kung fu with archery and horses, so he sneered at the moment, took the longbow of a Song army beside him, bent the bow and set up an arrow, and shot out with an arrow.

Shout!

With a fierce sound of breaking through the air, the arrow quickly shot out, heading straight for the throat of the black-faced man who shouted.

The tall, black-faced man smiled, swung his axe in his left hand and struck lightly, and the arrow was cut in two, and his expression was as careless as if he had slapped a mosquito.

Ho ho ho ho ~

After the momentary silence, the Liangshan army behind them cheered in unison, and the voices of more than 10,000 people were like thunder rolling in the sky, resounding through the sky, and the huge sound seemed to collapse the walls of Xiangcheng.

The Song army in the city was completely shocked, and their faces turned pale, and they all looked at Liu Heng and asked, "My lord, what should I do?" ”

Liu Heng showed a hideous look on his face, and shouted viciously: "Fight!" Even if you die to the last man, you can't give in to the thieves! Shoot these thieves with arrows at this officer! ”

Woohoo!

The arrows on the city tower are like flying locusts, pouring down, and the black-faced man under the city has already run back to the main camp in a smoke, and he turned around and pointed to the city tower is a big scolding.

The red-faced general on horseback saw that the black-faced man was almost at a loss, and couldn't help but be furious: "Straight lady thief, blow the trumpet, attack the city for Lao Tzu!" ”

Woo woo woo~

With the dance of the banner in the army, the sound of the horn rose to the sky, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, and the dense Liangshan army, holding various weapons, pushed the simple siege wooden ladder, and rushed to the south gate tower of Xiangcheng like a mountain and a tsunami.

……

The sky and the earth are vast, the remnant sun is like blood, and the land of the Central Plains in the evening is painted with a layer of twilight by the sunset, and the eyes are full of bright red.

In the territory of Chenzhou, the ancient road.

The wheels, the sound of horses' hooves, a team of people and horses in the dust of the sky meandered along the ancient road, the flag was like a cloud, the halberd was like a forest, the front did not see the head, the back did not see the tail, like a black dragon.

Among the dense flags, a banner with the word "Zhao" is particularly eye-catching. Under the banner, more than a dozen generals surrounded Zhao Hao and walked slowly.

Zhao Hao on the back of the jade dragon horse, wearing a red tasseled sun-shading iron helmet, wearing a purple flower robe, covered with black Jiao armor given by Wang Xin, hanging a hundred refined steel swords on his waist, and a big red cloak behind him hunting and hunting with the wind, coupled with his slender and vigorous body, he looked heroic.

At this moment, he looked at the more than 10,000 troops behind him, looking full of ambition and a little uneasy.

Because of Zhao Hao's theory of the protector god and his successive bombardments of Zhao Ji, coupled with Zhao Hao's always favoring him, Zhao Ji can't wait to treat Zhao Hao as his own son, even though Cai Jing has ill intentions, but Zhao Ji doesn't seem to have the slightest awareness of Zhao Hao's precautions, even if he approves Cai Jing's proposal.

Zhao Hao naturally could only go out on the expedition by order, and began the process of taking command for the first time in his life, and it was also the first time that the clan took command of the expedition since Zhao Guangyi, Taizong......

Five hundred white soldiers, two thousand brocade guards, 10,000 elite soldiers of the Beijing Division, plus Han Shizhong, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Fang Baihua, Liang Hongyu, Yang Keshi and others accompanied by them, these people are either first-class fierce generals, or they pay equal attention to force and generals, and there are also experienced active generals as deputy generals, this battle is almost impossible to lose.

Liangshan thieves, even if they are as brave as China? Most of these people are all thug-level figures, and there are no handsome talents among them, plus the equipment is poor, how can they compete with the elite army of the Great Song Dynasty with excellent armor?

What's more, I have a system of my own......

It's just that Zhao Ji seems to trust himself too much, so that he is going farther and farther on the road of favoring ministers and powerful ministers step by step, do you want to take the route of Wang Mang, Sima Zhao and others?

Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time......

Sima's heart, everyone knows!

Once you come into contact with the army, it may be a point of no return, support the army and respect yourself, and then seize power by force, but what?

Zhao Hao asked in his heart, and finally shook his head.

With this time in charge, there may not be a next time, and Zhao Ji may not be confused all the time.

What's more, although the Great Song Dynasty suppressed martial arts and emphasized literature, the warriors' loyalty to the monarch was extremely strong. Yue Fei held heavy troops in his hands, and it was easy to rebel, but in the end, he could only unjustly die in the Fengbo Pavilion and shout a few "Zhao Zhao every day". Not to mention Han Shizhong, in the later period, he completely obeyed the king's orders.

Even if his reputation is known to the government and the public, and even known as the hope of the world, if there is a day when he does Wang Mang's deeds, will the people of the world accept him?

I'm afraid not.

If he is Zhao Huan, he can follow Taizong's "Candle Shadow Axe", as long as he does it without leaving traces, who dares to be the second Yang Guang? It's just, alas...... He is just a clan outside the five suits, and it takes hundreds of "candle shadow axes" to inherit the throne......

His mind suddenly remembered the words of Fang La's advisor General Lu before he died.

"Only when the Jin people go south and the soldiers surround Bianliang, when Zhao Ji and his son show their mediocrity and incompetence in front of the subjects of the world, when the Great Song Mansion is about to collapse, it is the day when the son's yellow robe is added and the king will reign in the world!"

Just as he was thinking wildly, a horse galloped over: "General Qiqi, Caikou Town is ahead." ”

Zhao Hao raised his eyes to look at the sky, and a town with dense houses looming in the distance, took a long breath, and shouted loudly: "Speed up the march and rest in Caikou Town tonight." ”

The sound of the promise was everywhere, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, the team significantly accelerated the speed, and after several days of eating and sleeping in the open air, they were now able to enter the city to rest, which was naturally a rare good news for them.

Zhao Hao, who was on horseback, looked up at Caikou Town in the distance, and had mixed feelings in his heart.

Caikou Town is in the north-central part of Xiangcheng County, and after Caikou Town, the war is not far away.

When the army gradually marched to five or six miles away from Fuyang City, several horsemen suddenly rushed towards them: "Commander! The commander made the lord ......"

Zhao Hao turned his head, only to see the brocade guards panting and rushing forward, and when he saw Zhao Hao, he immediately turned over and fell off his horse and greeted him.

"Qiyu commanded the envoy, Liangshan rebel Qin Ming, Li Kui, Zhu Wu and others led 10,000 people to attack Xiangcheng, although Liu Heng, the commander of Xiangcheng soldiers and horses, resisted desperately, but he was outnumbered, and the arrows were about to run out, Xiangcheng was about to be broken, and the plan could not last tomorrow."

Qin Ming, Li Kui, Zhu Wu?

It turns out that these names really exist......

The face of the seed master on the side changed greatly, and he said urgently: "That Qin Ming used to be the commander of the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, because of discord with the prefect of Qingzhou, he killed the prefect in a fit of anger, this person knows the tactics of war, and is extremely brave, Liu Hengding is not his opponent, and if he doesn't rush to help, I'm afraid Xiangcheng can't be saved!" ”

Zhao Hao's face also changed, the thieves attacked the city, once the city was broken, the people in the city would inevitably suffer.

"In this case, I will ask the old general and General Yang to lead five hundred elite cavalry to rush to the aid of Xiangcheng and drag the thief army!"

Here!

Seed Master Dao and Yang Keshi each responded, led five hundred white soldiers, drove up the smoke and dust in the sky, and rolled towards Xiangcheng.
