When the two groups of men and horses of Nalin Chong and Huyanzhuo fought against the Liao army led by Qiong Demon Nayan and Yelu Dezhong respectively, there was also a fierce battle staged in the city of Zhuozhou, which was closest to Bazhou.

That Zhuozhou City was originally Ma Ling's hometown, but after Ma Ling surrendered to Shi Wengong, the king of Liang, his name was too big, so that Bian Xiang couldn't let Ma Ling sneak into the city to do internal work.

However, although Ma Ling can't enter the city, there are still two Ma Ling's former comrades-in-arms in Zhuozhou City. These two are Wu Neng and Xu Jin, who had fought with Ma Ling when he was in Tian Hu's camp and fought with Lu Junyi's troops.

This Wu Neng and Xu Jin are the same as Ma Ling, they are both from Zhuozhou, and the two of them have been with Ma Ling for a long time, and they have also learned a trace of skills from Ma Ling, and when they were under the command of Tian Hu, the two have been serving as Ma Ling's deputy generals, and they have been fighting in all directions.

Later, Ma Ling was captured by Ye Qing and the lord of Qiongying, and then Lu Junyi led the Liang army to break through the Jin army camp and kill Wu Li, the uncle of the Jin army, and Tian Ding, the prince of the Jin Dynasty. Wu Neng and Xu Jin escaped by chance, but because of the disappearance of the main general Ma Ling, the death of the prince and his uncle, they did not dare to report back to Tian Hu, so they decided to return to their hometown together and lived in this Zhuozhou City.

In recent days, in this Zhuozhou city, the two heard that the Liao people had once again raised troops to the south and invaded the Central Plains. The patriotic feelings in the hearts of the two were ignited again, and then the two decided to find an opportunity to contribute to their homeland again.

It can also be regarded as the fate of Xu Jin and Na Ma Ling, just when the two of them had this plan and were about to act, they heard the news that there were soldiers of the Liang army blocking outside the city of Zhuozhou.

When they heard that their old friend Ma Ling appeared again, Wu Neng and Xu Jin were excited, and then the two of them carefully lurked in this Zhuozhou City, waiting to strike at a critical moment to help their old friend Ma Ling take the city.

At the same time, outside this Zhuozhou City, Ma Ling, Bian Xiang, Suo Chao, Zhu Tong and others did not know that there were two righteous warriors in Zhuozhou City, Nawu Neng and Xu Jin, who were looking for opportunities and waiting to help them, and now they wanted to capture this city, and they could only rely on their own abilities.

At this time, the news that He Chongbao's vanguard troops were ambushed by the Liang army in the field had been conveyed to this point, and the defenders of Zhuozhou City were also panicked after hearing the news, all they thought was that if He Chongbao's reinforcements were all defeated by the Liang army, their Zhuozhou city would also be conquered by the Liang army in a few days.

Therefore, with the idea of cold lips and teeth, the defenders of Zhuozhou City had to send a rescue to the troops of Naqiong Demon Nayan.

Although there were 30,000 Liang troops stationed outside the city of Zhuozhou at this time, there were 50,000 Liao troops in the city of Zhuozhou. If they really rushed out of the nest and went to rescue the troops led by Qiong Demon Nayan, the 30,000 Liang troops outside the city in front of them would not be able to stop them.

Immediately, the guard general immediately ordered to dispatch all the soldiers and horses in the city, pour out the nest, break through the defense of the Liang army outside the city, and go to meet the reinforcements of Qiong Demon Nayan.

When the Zhuozhou defender gave this order, he soon led the elite troops in the city, a total of 50,000 Liao troops, to fight out of the city.

Seeing such a situation, Bian Xiang and the others had a total of two plans to deal with, one was to follow Emperor Liang's order to block the soldiers of Zhuozhou City here, and delay time for the Liang army led by Lin Chong. The second is to let these Liao people in front of them go away, and then take advantage of the emptiness of the garrison in Zhuozhou City to launch an attack on the city, which will definitely be the next city for the Liang army.

Of these two plans, one is thankless, and it needs to be with the Liao, and it may even pay a great price for casualties. On the other hand, it is much easier and can easily obtain merit.

It's just that once these Liao people break through the defenses here and arrive on the battlefield in the field, Lin Chong's men and horses will face great difficulties, which is not something that Bian Xiang and others will be able to allow.

Therefore, when they saw the Liao army rushing out of the city gate, Bian Xiang and the other generals did not hesitate at all, even if they chose the first combat plan. They must carefully obey Emperor Liang's orders, trap the soldiers and horses of Zhuozhou City here, and delay time for Lin Chong's troops, no matter how difficult it will be to do so, they must also do their best to complete it.

With blessings and hopes for his companions, Bian Xiang carried a big axe and led the 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and launched a tragic battle with the 50,000 Liao people in front of him.

On Bian Xiang's side, the 'urgent vanguard' Suo Chao also slashed the big axe in his hand, rushing left and right in this Liao army, indulging in fighting, even if the enemy was outnumbered, he had to move forward bravely and complete the task assigned by the lord.

Under the leadership of Bian Xiang and Suo Chao, who were like arrows, the Liang army was not afraid of death and launched a brave charge towards those Liao people.

In this Liang army, not only Bian Xiang and Suo Chao are brave, on the side of these two people, Ma Ling and Zhu Tong are also holding their own weapons, indulging in the battle in this Liao army formation, and everywhere they pass, there is a bloody storm, and almost no one can stop the footsteps of these four Liang generals charging.

Just when the two armies of Liang and Liao were fighting fiercely outside the city, there was a thick smoke coming from the city of Zhuozhou. When he smelled the smell of smoke, the Zhuozhou guard just turned his head, and then he heard the soldiers in the city shouting in a panic.

"Oh no! The barracks are on fire! ”

"What? The barracks in the city are on fire! ”

When they heard such shouts, the mood of all the Liao people was destroyed. And the four generals Bian Xiangsuochao, Ma Ling, and Zhu Tong, also took advantage of the Liao people's distraction from the fire in the military camp in the city, and once again broke through the thousands of troops, led the troops under their command, and once again dealt a tragic blow to the Liao troops.

For a time, the situation on the entire battlefield was reversed in an instant, and the two armies, which were still quite evenly matched, were instantly divided into winners and losers. The Liao army was defeated by the Liang army, and the reason for this was the fire in the military camp in the city.

At this time, the Zhuozhou garrison also recognized the current situation, at this time, let alone rushing out to rescue other troops, I am afraid that they will not even be able to solve the Liang army in front of them.

Immediately, the guard hurriedly shouted, "Collect the troops and return to the city, collect the troops and return to the city!" ”

Hearing the words of this guard, all the Liao people stopped fighting and fighting, and fled at the city gate. Those Liang soldiers naturally did not let go of the great opportunity to beat the water dogs in front of them, only to see them bully forward again, closely follow behind these Liao people, and kill them one by one.

And just when these Liao people thought they had fled to a safe place, they were shocked to find that the Liao soldiers who had stayed at the city gate had been killed by the Han people in the city, and now what was waiting for them here was the strong bows and crossbows of the Han people in the city, led by the two Han people, who were Wu Neng and Xu Jin!

……

Under the joint strangulation of the people in the city and the Liang army outside the city, the 50,000 elite Liao troops here also died here, and only a few people escaped, but they couldn't make any big waves.

The city of Zhuozhou, which has been ruled by the Liao people for hundreds of years, also fluttered the banner of the word "Liang", and represents that it has returned to the embrace of the motherland.
