With Li Dong's stubborn resistance, Huang Xiu's army temporarily got rid of the pursuit of Song Ruoyu's army.

Of course, they knew that General Li Dong's trip was more than auspicious, and then they thought that on weekdays, General Li Dong treated them as if they were his own brothers, and they had fought together on the battlefield for many years, but they were afraid that it would be difficult to see each other again in the future. Thinking of this, the whole army was in a mood of grief and indignation, and the speed of the march also unconsciously accelerated a little.

The autumn wind is sorrowful, like Xiao Ruyan.

Not long after, that Huang Xiu's army is gradually approaching this Yancheng, seeing this Yancheng from a distance, not seeing the appearance of this expedition at all, if it is still majestic and majestic when the expedition is made, then now it is just a ruin wreckage, a scene of corpses all over the field. A once majestic city has experienced several catastrophes in just a few dozen days, and I am afraid that it will not be able to return to its original state after many years.

Of course, Huang Xiu didn't have time to care about these things now, because he had already faintly sensed that something was wrong.

Although the Yancheng was miserable on all sides, they didn't see the siege scene, but they saw it like a situation after the war, which made Huang Xiu and the Liang army soldiers worry tightly, and what they were most worried about now was that the Yancheng had been captured by the Jin army. If Yancheng is captured, they will not only face the hardship of having no food, but also the pursuit of Song Ruoyu's army following behind this buttocks, then these tens of thousands of troops will really never go back.

Now Huang Xiu had to pray that their defenders were holding Yancheng, and they didn't really lose Yancheng.

Huang Xiu led the army to gradually approach the Yancheng City Tower in a complex and tense mood.

Before he could get closer to take a look, he suddenly heard a hearty laugh coming from the castle tower.

"Huang Xiu'er, my Northern Jin Dynasty soldiers have captured Yancheng, quickly dismount and surrender, spare you from dying!"

When Huang Xiu heard this, he only felt that the world was spinning, and his expression was in a trance, the worst situation had happened after all, and this Yancheng was afraid that it had already been lost. Thinking of this, a few drops of cold sweat faintly broke out on Huang Xiu's forehead, and he looked up at the city wall.

I saw that an eight-foot fierce man in the middle of the city tower was standing in front, and next to him was a Confucian in civilian clothes and a white-faced general, of course, this person was Zhang Yao, and the two people next to him were He Yuan and Cai Jian, and the shout just now was called out by Zhang Yao in the middle.

Huang Xiu looked at these people, but he didn't know any of them, and couldn't help but look at the general next to him, wanting to see if they knew the enemy on the tower of this city.

Before this Huang Xiu could look at Lei Zhe, Lei Zhe immediately scolded: "Zhang Yao, if you dare to speak wildly here, your subordinates will be defeated!" “

Zhang Yao, who was on the city tower, was also unfamiliar with this Huang Xiu, but he knew that this person was the substitute who took over Lin Yi's handsome position, and when he saw this Huang Xiu's appearance, he saw that he was a person who had never been on the battlefield, and he didn't even have a little murderous aura, and he was not a little worse than Lin Yi.

That Zhang Yao heard this Lei Zhe shouting like this, laughed twice, and then shouted: "Hey, you have lost this city, and you dare to shout again, you are really big-hearted." “

When Lei Zhe heard Zhang Yao's mocking words, his face immediately turned red, and he scolded Zhang Yao with anger on his face: "Despicable villain, while my army is not in Yancheng, what kind of real hero is it, rat generation." ”

When Lei Zhe saw Cai Jian on the tower of this city, he already understood a little in his heart, they were at war with Song Ruoyu, so that they all ignored the Jin army that had camped in the distance before, the Jin army was originally to cooperate with Zhang Yao to defend the city, originally thought that there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses, not worth mentioning, but now look at this appearance should be Song Ruoyu from the beginning of the plan to let Cai Jian's troops be the main force of the siege, they care too much about Song Ruoyu but ignore Cai Jian, let this Song Ruoyu take advantage of the loophole.

The soldiers and horses besieging the city should have been secretly sent to Cai Jian by Song Ruoyu when he was entangled in his army.

Cai Jianyuan had more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, plus this Song Ruoyu sent thousands of soldiers and horses, but he could forcibly attack Yancheng.

Thousands of calculations, but this stubble was missed, Lei Zhe had to smile bitterly in his heart.

That Zhang Yao heard Lei Zhe say that he was a rat and a villain who attacked him, and immediately blushed and shouted: "You still have the face to say me, you imitated Mr.'s letter to lure me out of the city, and you didn't dare to fight me openly, aren't you a despicable villain?" “

When Lei Zhe heard Zhang Yao mention this matter, he also snorted coldly and said: "That's General Lin's trick, I know that you barbarian can't use your brain, you only need to forge a letter with rue grass to deceive you, but I didn't think you really took the bait." After finishing speaking, he laughed a few times downstairs.

When Zhang Yao heard this, he was angry and confused, angry that this Lei Zhe had humiliated him several times, and he was puzzled about how this Lei Zhe got the rucuo, but he was speechless immediately.

That Lei Zhe seemed to guess what Zhang Yao wanted to say, so he laughed and said: "You may not know, in order to deal with that Song Ruoyu, General Lin has already prepared rucus in the army for emergencies, and now it is really used, do you really think that my dignified beam can't get this little ruegrass?" Joke. ”

When Zhang Yao heard this, he was even more furious, and when he wanted to scold this Lei Zhe, Cai Jian next to him threw his hand to Zhang Yao with a smile and said, "General, you don't have to talk to them anymore." ”

When Zhang Yao heard this, he finally paused and calmed down, this Cai Jian is his brainstorm, and Zhang Yao still has to consider what he said.

Zhang Yao's eyes rolled and he agreed with a smile: "General Cai is right, right. ”

Then he snorted coldly, and shouted at Huang Xiu's army downstairs in this city: "Huang Xiu'er, I won't talk nonsense with you, surrender quickly, maybe my husband is happy, and I can spare your life." ”

Huang Xiu heard this Zhang Yao's words just now, and his heart was already very nervous, and he didn't know what to do, but now that he heard that this Zhang Yao was going to dismount and surrender by himself, he was even more hesitant in his heart. Now the situation in front of him, whether it is advancing or retreating, if he dismounts and surrenders, what is his face, even if he is put back by this Song Ruoyu, he will probably not be able to raise his head in the court for the rest of his life, and he will be completely compared with Lin Yi, which is called how Huang Xiu can stand it; But if you would rather die than surrender, now there is Zhang Yao's fortified city in front of you, and Song Ruoyu's tens of thousands of chasing soldiers in the back, isn't this even more miserable? So for a while, I was stunned in place, and I didn't know what to do.

Lei Zhe next to him was not convinced by this Zhang Yao, but he was a defeated general of his own men, and he was beaten by his own army like a lost dog within a month, but now he stood high on the tower of the city, and said arrogantly that he would surrender, and he was immediately angry.

Not only Lei Zhe, but also the soldiers under him were also very unwilling at this time, wanting to fight to the death with this Zhang Yao.

Lei Zhe turned his head and saw that this Huang Xiu was looking like he was out of spirit, he sighed heavily in his heart, and then bowed his hand to Huang Xiu and said: "General, the only way to do this is to storm this Yancheng, Yancheng is newly broken, the defense must not be tight, plus that Zhang Yao's army has been attacking the city for a long time, it must be exhausted at this time, this is a good time for our army to attack the city, if we can capture Yancheng before the arrival of Song Ruoyu's army, it will be worth it." “

When Huang Xiu heard this, he shook his head and said: "No, there is no food and grass in this Yancheng city, even if our army captures it, I am afraid it will not last long, and it is too risky to seize the time to attack the city, if Song Ruoyu's army comes during the siege, how can it be done?" “

What Lei Zhe said just now was a lot of angry words, of course he also knew that it was not feasible to attack, but he just couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, who would have thought that Zhang Yao, who was still pressed and beaten by them a few days ago, turned into a phoenix, and now he has forced them to a dead end.

Before Huang Xiu could make up his mind, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves faintly coming from behind, turned his head to look, and saw that Song Ruoyu's army was slowly approaching him, and the high fluttering "Jin" and "Song" flags seemed to be laughing at him in the wind, and his face was suddenly like ashes, and his heart was chewing wax.

That Song Ruoyu finally came to the front of the Jin army formation slowly, looked at this Huang Xiu quietly, and then said loudly: "General Huang, meet again." ”

When the Liang army saw this Song Ruoyu chasing after him so quickly, he knew in his heart that General Li Dong was probably really killed on the battlefield, and he couldn't help but be very sad in his heart at the moment, and what made them even more sad was that they had been trapped in the encirclement of the Jin army, and there seemed to be no other choice but to surrender.

Not only the soldiers, but also Huang Xiu, Lei Zhe and others saw this, and they also realized that the current situation was very unfavorable for them, and their faces were sad but helpless.

Song Ruoyu knew that Huang Xiu was hesitating, paused, and then shouted to Huang Xiu again: "The general doesn't have to worry too much, as long as the general is surrendered, I promise not to kill any of the men of the Great Liang, is this good?" ”

"General Huang, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about these tens of thousands of Nanliang brothers, right?"

When Huang Xiu heard this, the worries in his heart were also somewhat dispelled, although he still cared about his face, but in the face of this life-and-death situation, it seemed that compared with his own face, that life seemed to be more important.

What's more, he can't choose this matter himself.

Looking at this Lei Zhe and the other generals, he saw that they also had ugly expressions but did not refute them, and he knew that this should be a tacit acquiescence to the fact of surrender, and immediately let out a long sigh and shouted to Song Ruoyu is voice: "I hope you are the talker." ”

After speaking, he said aloud to his army: "All the army, surrender." ”

After Lei Zhe heard this, he seemed to have to open his mouth to refute something, but after thinking about it, he didn't make a sound after all, and let out a long sigh. Although Lei Zhe was reluctant in his heart, he also understood that he could only surrender for the sake of today's plan, not to mention Huang Xiu's thoughts, that is, his own brother could not let them die in vain.

Thinking of his brother, he remembered that this was probably Li Dong, who had died in battle, and his heart was even more gloomy. The hatred for Song Ruoyu in front of him is even deeper.

One day, you will have to pay the price. Lei Zhe thought viciously in his heart, but his face remained unchanged on the surface.

When Huang Xiu's army heard this, his face immediately turned embarrassed, but he also had to listen to the general's orders, so he reluctantly threw away the weapon in his hand, knelt down and surrendered.

When Huang Xiu saw this, he also randomly turned over and dismounted, knelt down and surrendered to this Song Ruoyu.

Seeing this, Song Ruoyu led the army to slowly move towards this Huang Xiu, preparing to accept their surrender.

That's when the unexpected happened.

The world in the distance suddenly appeared in the dark and oppressive a team of cavalry, the cavalry was lined up, like a ghost and a ghost towards the place where the two armies were facing each other is quickly rushed over, the horse's hooves neighed, the momentum was huge, Song Ruoyu looked forward, the team of men and horses was only a few dozen, but it was galloping like a tiger, and before it approached, it had already raised the cold knife in his hand, and under the sun, there was a faint frightening light.

Seeing this, Song Ruoyu suddenly seemed to realize something, his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed to Huang Xiu: "General, get out of the way." ”

That Huang Xiu was quite puzzled at first, where did these dozens of people come from, how did they rush towards him, so when he heard Song Ruoyu's shout, he was also confused for a while, and he didn't know what this dodged, not only him, but even the generals under him were also immersed in the humiliation of surrender at this time, and they didn't care too much about Song Ruoyu's words at all.

Just in the blink of an eye, the cavalry approached the front of the Liang army where Huang Xiu was, and at this time, you could see their appearance clearly, only to see that they were all dressed in black, and even their faces were covered with black cloth, which made people feel quite strange at dawn.

The person at the head, seeing this Huang Xiu dismounting and kneeling, quickly took out a bow and arrow from behind, bent the bow and shot at Huang Xiu.

The arrow was like a meteor, like a deadly god of death, with the sound of wind, and it approached Huang Xiu in a blink of an eye.

Before Huang Xiu, who didn't know why, could react, his eyes were filled with the shadow of this sharp arrow, and his pupils were wide open, as if before he could understand what was going on, the arrow went straight through his neck, splashing blood.

The moment Huang Xiu was shot through the throat, he was full of puzzlement, he didn't understand why he had surrendered but still couldn't get rid of the fate of being killed.

Who is this cavalry? Why do you want to take your own life?

With incomprehension and doubts, Huang Xiu finally fell down heavily, and he lost his breath in the blink of an eye.

Among the hosts, how simple it is to take the head of others.
