The next day, Zhao Gou personally led the army to take the small road, and the old man also followed the army, under his guidance, the army did not encounter any difficulties and obstacles along the way, and went straight to Xiaoniuling, but encountered some enemy troops blocking the way. Within a moment, they were killed by Li Kui, and arrived at Dongguan at the fourth watch.

The general who guarded the east management was Wu Yingxing, and when he heard that the Song army had arrived in the east pipe, he was so frightened that he couldn't give up. Before the Song army arrived, Wu Yingxing and his generals all fled. Zhao Gou easily occupied Dongguan, and Wu Yingxing led his troops back to Muzhou, and reported to Zu Cheng that he knew: "Today, the Song Jiang soldiers have crossed the road privately, and they have passed through the Wulongling side and come to Dongguan." ”

Zu Shiyuan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly gathered the crowd to discuss. At this time, Zhao Gou had already ordered the gunner to put up the cannon. At the same time, Shi Bao and others in the village of Wulongling were also shocked when they heard it, and when they hurriedly commanded Bai Qin to lead the army to explore, they saw Zhao Gou's banner, all over the sky and all over the ground, full of mountains and forests.

Immediately returned to Lingshang Village and reported to Shi Bao and others.

Shi Bao said: "Since the imperial court does not send rescue soldiers, we will only stick to the pass and don't go to the rescue." ”

Deng Yuanjue objected: "The marshal's words are wrong! Now, if we don't transfer troops to save Muzhou, if Muzhou loses, we can't protect ourselves. When you don't go, I'll go to save Yingmuzhou. ”

Shi Bao couldn't persuade him, Deng Yuanjue went happily, ordered 5,000 men and horses, took a Zen staff, and led Xiahou Cheng down the mountain.

Zhao Gou led his troops to occupy Dongguan, but he did not want to attack Muzhou, but instead led a large army to attack Wulongling, which happened to meet the army led by Deng Yuanjue. The two armies approached and greeted each other again, and Deng Yuanjue took the lead to challenge.

When Hua Rong saw it, he whispered to Zhao Gou's ear: "This person can be obtained in addition to this." ”

Zhao Gou nodded yes, and asked Yue Fei, and the two generals would understand. Yue Fei was the first to go out, and then he fought with Deng Yuanjue, and when he fought to the fifth and sixth time, Yue Fei returned to his horse and left, and the armies scattered in their own directions. Deng Yuanjue saw that Yue Fei had lost, but instead of pursuing Yue Fei, he went straight to Zhao Gou.

This was Hua Rong's plan, he stood by Zhao Gou's side, and as long as Deng Yuanjue approached, he would give him a fatal blow. Deng Yuanjue didn't know that danger was coming, so he only cared about killing Zhao Gou, even if he knew that Zhao Gou's martial arts were strong, he did not hesitate to attack. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer, Hua Rong immediately pulled out the crossbow, mounted the arrow, and slammed an arrow on the door.

The bow opened the full moon, the arrow shot a meteor, hit Deng Yuanjue's face, fell off his horse, and was killed by the army. Together, the southern soldiers were defeated, Xiahou Cheng couldn't resist the enemy, so he went to Muzhou, and the Song soldiers went straight to the Wulong Ridge, beating wood, cannon stones, fighting down, and couldn't go up.

Zhao Gou gave up attacking Wulongling and led his army to attack Muzhou City.

At this time, Prime Minister Zu Cheng saw the prime general Xiahou Cheng fleeing and reported: "The Song soldiers have passed the east pipe, killed Deng Guoshi, and came to fight Muzhou on the same day." ”

When Zu Shiyuan heard this, he sent someone to Qingxi Da Nei with Xiahou Cheng, and asked Prime Minister Lou Cheng to enter the court to start playing: "Now the Song soldiers have passed from the small road to Dongguan, and they are very urgent to attack Muzhou. ”

Fang La was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly announced that Zheng Biao, the former lieutenant of the palace, ordered 15,000 imperial forest military horses, and rushed to save Muzhou overnight. At that moment, Zheng Biao was sent as the vanguard, and the front army and horses were transferred out of the city to advance.

The Song army generals, attacking Muzhou, did not see the second, suddenly heard the report of the horse probe, and the Qingxi rescue army arrived. After hearing this, Zhao Gou sent Guan Sheng and Yue Fei to meet the enemy, led three thousand horse troops, and threw them on the Qingxi Road.

The two sides fought for dozens of rounds, Guan Sheng and Yue Fei collected their troops and returned to the camp to report to Zhao Gou, and Zheng Biao also returned to Muzhou City. When Zhao Gou heard the battle report, he knew that Zheng Biao's martial arts were good, and there were 15,000 troops under his command, so his face couldn't help but become solemn, and let everyone rest for a while.

That night, Zhao Gou convened everyone to discuss what to do, and there was no good plan until late at night. The next day, Zhao Gou conveyed the military order, ordered a large group of men and horses, captured Muzhou, and ordered Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong to hold the main road of Wulongling, in case Shi Bao and others took advantage of the situation to sneak attack their side; In addition, he dispatched Guan Sheng, Hua Rong, Yue Fei, and Zhu Tong to be the first soldiers to take Muzhou, and took the lead in attacking the north gate.

The artillery was about to fly, the earth shook and the earth shook, the mountains shook, and the military horses in the city were so frightened that they were already in chaos before the official battle.

At this time, Zheng Biao led the army and horses to retreat into the city and garrison, and went alone to discuss with the right prime minister Zu Shiyuan, Shen Shou, who participated in politics, Bai Shu Huanyi, Marshal Tan Gao, and guard general Wu Yingxing; "The Song soldiers have arrived, how can they be rescued?"

Zu Shiyuan said: "Since the ancient soldiers came to the city, they will come to the edge of Hao, if they don't fight to the death, how can they be solved!" If you break the city, you will be captured, and the matter is in danger, so you must move forward! ”

At the moment, Zheng Biao led Tan Gao, Wu Yingxing, and more than a dozen generals, led 10,000 elite soldiers, opened the city gate, and confronted Zhao Gou; Zhao Gou ordered the military horses to retreat half an arrow away, and let his military horses go out of the city to set up.

The two armies fought again, but unfortunately there was a huge disparity in strength, even if Zheng Biao's martial arts were not weak, he still couldn't withstand the attack of the Song generals. When Zheng Biao was fighting with Guan Sheng, Hua Rong shot him to death with an arrow, and the southern army was in chaos; Then, the army took advantage of the situation to enter Muzhou, Zhu Tong shot Marshal Tan Gao and poked him under the horse, and Yue Fei also killed the guard Wu Yingxing.

Zhao Gou personally led the army and horses, and had entered the city, and the generals moved forward, capturing Prime Minister Zu, Shen Shenzheng, and Huan Yanshu, and the rest of the generals, regardless of their names, were killed. Zhao Gou led the army into the city, first burned the Fangla Palace, all the gold silks, and rewarded the generals of the three armies, and then went out to appease the people.

At this time, Tanma Fei reported to the future: "On the Ximen Oolong Ridge, the two generals are fighting with the thief army, the situation is urgent, please go to the marshal!" ”

When Zhao Gou heard this, he went out of the city again and led the generals to the Wulongling Road, only to see Shi Bao and others fighting with Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong, and the two armies were also evenly matched, and there was only a time when they wanted to distinguish the winner from the loser. Zhao Gou couldn't wait any longer, and immediately sent Guan Sheng and Hua Rong to help.

Guan Sheng immediately rode forward to kill, and shouted: "Don't go, thief, and see that Ben will kill you!" ”

Shi Bao saw that it was Guan Sheng, and he had no intention of fighting, so he retreated to the ridge. He also commanded Bai Qin and came to engage Guan Sheng. The two horses intersected, the weapons were raised at the same time, the two fights were less than ten he, and there was a gong on the Oolong Ridge to collect the army. Just because, Zhao Gou sent Yue Fei, Li Kui, Tang Huai and others to lead an army of 3,000 people to kill from the west, so that Shi Bao had to urgently withdraw his troops and gather a large army to meet the attack.

Shi Bao was attacked by the enemy on his back and fought on the Oolong Ridge.

Yue Fei faced Bai Qin, the two fought each other, and they couldn't fight Sanhe, Bai Qin grabbed a shot, Yue Fei flashed, and poked directly from his ribs. Seeing this good opportunity, Yue Fei immediately raised his gun and stabbed him, killing him directly. On the other side, Guan Sheng, Hua Rong and others led the army on foot, and followed by Wulong Ridge.

Shi Bao saw that there was Song Jiang on both sides, he had no way out, he couldn't escape, and he was worried that he would be caught and humiliated, so he directly picked up the wind splitting knife and killed himself. As soon as Shi Bao died, the other soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered, not daring to have the slightest heart to fight back.

Seeing that Wulongling had been lost and Muzhou was also captured by the Song army, the four naval commanders of the Southern Army abandoned their ships, escaped across the river, and were captured by the people on the other side of the river. Only Zhai Yuan and Qiao Zheng fled, and they didn't know where to go. Since then, the Song army's attack on Wulongling and the occupation of Muzhou have really ended.
