In fact, just as Cui Jun expected, after those surrendered troops rushed to the city, they immediately joined the ranks of defending the city, and fought with the Liangzhou army besieging the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The total number of these surrendered troops is five or six thousand, although hundreds of people were killed in the rebellion before, and hundreds of people fled, but there are about four thousand people left, after these four thousand people joined, the situation in the city was greatly eased, and Li Tong, the chief general of the city head, saw that these surrendered troops worked so hard to help defend the city, although he was surprised, but he did not say it, and then after a little thought, he knew that this must be Cui Jun's work on these surrendered troops, so Li Tong silently praised Cui Jun, and then shouted loudly: "Brothers, Let's unite as one, and jointly defend against the attack of the thieves, now that the morale of the thieves has dropped, as long as we hold on a little longer, they will definitely choose to retreat, in addition, I have received news that our reinforcements will arrive soon, and when this battle is won, I will definitely invite everyone to eat and drink! ”

The soldiers of the Nanyang Army at the head of the city also noticed the surrendered troops who helped them defend the city, and now when they heard Li Tong say this, they suddenly felt their spirits lifted up, and their morale was high again, and they felt a surge of strength coming out of nowhere, and they fought more bravely against the enemy.

The morale of the defenders has improved, which can be described as a disaster for the Liangzhou army besieging the city, Yang Ding originally thought that if he gritted his teeth and attacked again, he might break through the city, but he didn't expect that at this moment, I don't know why the other party's morale suddenly soared, and their own casualties suddenly increased, and some soldiers didn't know why they chose to surrender directly at the head of the city, and turned around and attacked the original robes.

Yang Ding saw with his own eyes that those soldiers wearing the armor of the Liangzhou Army surrendered, and turned to attack their own people, and also saw that his advantage was getting smaller and smaller, although he was unwilling, and he was even more puzzled, but he could only grit his teeth and say two words: "Retreat!" ”

Now that his morale has been exhausted, if he continues to fight, he will damage people's lives in vain, even if he does not retreat, Yang Ding has no hope of capturing Shangxian County at all, so he can only make such a choice helplessly.

"Hateful! In this battle, our army lost more than 1,000 soldiers, and they were unable to capture this small Shang County, which is all to blame for those thieves who came later, if it weren't for their joining, maybe we would have broken the city of Shang County, who knows who they are? On the way back, Yang Ding looked back at the soldiers guarding the city and asked through gritted teeth.

I saw a military commander not far away and said with a wry smile: "These are the Liangzhou troops that surrendered to the enemy army in Shang County before, and they originally belonged to General Wang Fang, but I don't know why, my own brother Pao Ze attacked me, not only did they not help, but they were busy with thieves to deal with us......"

When Yang Ding heard this, he was immediately furious, and scolded loudly: "What an abominable traitor! He surrendered to the thief regardless of shame, and now he is still helping the thief deal with us, hmph, when I return to Liangzhou, I will definitely send someone to find their families, kill all their families, and reduce their wives and daughters to slaves! ”

Yang Ding's scolding was coming, and suddenly saw the smoke and dust not far ahead, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked what happened.

The left and right soldiers had attacked the city with him before, and naturally they didn't know what was going on, so they all shook their heads blankly.

And as the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, the sharp-eyed finally saw the words on the other party's flag, and immediately shouted in shock: "General, it's not good, it's Liu He's reinforcements, and the words 'rebel general Liu' are written on the other party'......"

"What? How is this possible? I also heard last night that Liu He's army was still a hundred miles away, why did it take less than ten hours for Liu He's army to arrive here? Yang Ding looked incredulous, shook his head and said: "Hmph, this must be a ploy of the thieves, deliberately deceiving us, pass on my order, the army will immediately charge, I want to reveal the true face of the thieves!" ”

"Kill!" With the transmission of the order, Yang Ding's army began to charge, but he didn't expect that the opponent's army not only did not retreat when it saw this, but instead spread the flag and also attacked.

"Kill!"

A more violent roar came, only to see the opponent's army pounce like a tide, and the soldiers under Yang Ding's command changed color one after another when they saw this, restrained the horses, and then turned the horse's head and fled desperately backwards.

However, the soldiers behind did not understand what was happening in front of them, and they drove them to sit down and rush forward, so they naturally collided with their own soldiers who had turned back.

"What's going on? Who escaped without permission? ”

Yang Ding, who was at the back of the team, saw that his formation was scattered because someone had fled, and he immediately said angrily: "Come on, pass on my order, and be sure to severely punish those deserters......

Before Yang Ding finished his sentence, he suddenly saw a soldier in front of him pulling his battle robe, and said loudly: "General, let's go, the main force of the enemy army is coming, the black pressure is all cavalry, not to mention that there are 10,000 people, there are infantry behind, at least 20,000 people, don't say that our army has lost its vigor now, even if it is in good condition, it is not necessarily their opponent!" ”

"What? It turned out to be really Liu He's main force of that thief? This, how is this possible? Isn't he a hundred miles away? Yang Dingyan was shocked when he heard this, but at this time, the soldiers didn't care if he could figure it out, and hurriedly pulled him to sit down and retreat.

At this time, I only heard a loud roar from the opposite side, and one of the members of the general shouted loudly: "Yiyang Wei Wenchang is here, the thief will leave, leave his life!" ”

The general held a big knife and rushed over bravely, and all the soldiers who blocked along the road were hacked to death by him, but in a moment, more than ten soldiers who blocked had been killed.

"Huh? This thief is so brave, go away! Yang Ding was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly fled on horseback, but he didn't expect that Wei Yan would chase him and kill him non-stop, seeing what this meant, he would never give up if he didn't kill him.

"General Yang Feng, help!" Yang Ding saw that the other party was brave, he was by no means an opponent, and the other party was only a few feet away from him, and suddenly his soul was gone, and he looked at Yang Feng, who was sneering not far away, as if he had seen a savior, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Yang Ding's previous contempt, but now that he saw that his master was being hunted down, Yang Feng did not ignore it, but shouted lightly: "Where is Xu Gongming?" Stop that guy with me and save my commander! ”
