"Knock Knock Knock ......"

In the deafening sound of drums, the siege of Zhengzhou broke out.

The shield soldiers were in front, the archers were behind, and the people with sandbags on their backs were mixed in, and they quickly advanced towards the city gate.

Fang Chengtian commanded the Zuo Xiao cavalry guards, stationed in the camp to watch, only to see the righteous army rushing towards the city wall all over the mountains, with no end in sight.

In the sound of "whoosh", bows and arrows flew in the air like a plague of locusts.

With the sound of "whirring", the boulder roared and flew towards the city.

In the shouting of killing, the people threw sandbags into the moat, and the soldiers also erected the cloud tower on the river.

……

The soldiers of the rebel army have come one after another, and the casualties have skyrocketed!

The water of the moat was soon stained red with blood.

Such a fierce attack was the first time Fang Chengtian had seen it.

However, the Tang army was very familiar with the strategy of the righteous army to attack the city, regardless of whether the righteous army made bows, threw stones, climbed walls, and smashed doors, the Tang army defending the city was condescending and cracked them one by one.

The rebels attacked for several days, and the blood flowed like a river under the city wall, and the corpses piled up like a mountain, but they did not even climb the top of the city!

The cavalry led by Fang Chengtian was useless for a while, so he had to help in the rear.

At dusk on this day, Fang Chengtian came to the rear of the army in Beicheng again, looked at the city, and found that there were women and children on the city wall, old and weak, running back and forth, carrying soil and stones, and resisting the righteous army.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "When our rebels capture the city, we must loot it first, and now we have tasted the consequences, you see, there are people on the city wall to help defend the city!" ”

Dong Zizheng on the side said lightly: "Defend the city, although the people are hard, they can still live, but if they lose the city......"

As he spoke, he looked at Fang Chengtian and said, "If they are plundered by the so-called rebels, they won't be able to survive." ”

"Brother Dong!" Li Xiangrong looked at him and motioned for him to stop talking.

Dong Zizheng shook his head and sneered: "Since you dare to do it, why are you afraid of people saying it?" Although the traitors of the court are in charge, it makes the people miserable, which is a little infuriating! But your righteous army, under the banner of righteousness, is doing the act of robbing the people like robbers, so that the already poor people can no longer live, which people are willing to help your righteous army?! Rebel? Where is the righteousness? ”

Li Xiangrong looked at Fang Chengtian with an embarrassed expression and muttered, "Young Master...... Alas! But he didn't know what to say, only sighed deeply.

Fang Chengtian smiled bitterly: "Brother Dong is not bad at all, the righteous army is really a little improper, hey~~~"

He looked at Wang Xianzhi, who was holding a long sword in front of him and personally supervising the battle, and Huang Chao next to him, and looked up at the sky again.

I saw that half of the sky was covered with red glow, which was an incomparably magnificent scenery, but it was a pity that there was a bloody battle under the city, and the smell of blood wafted with the wind, stabbing people who wanted to vomit.

He looked at the bloody battlefield and sighed, the righteous army has deteriorated, even Brother Wang can't change it, what can he do? I hope this recruitment will go a little smoother.

Suddenly, I heard a shout from the distance on the left: "Kill!! ”

The voice came from far and near, like a huge wave, and gradually, the voice became louder and louder, as if tens of thousands of people were shouting in unison, as if the sky was about to collapse and the earth was about to split.

Fang Chengtian stared at it, only to see countless red flags raised high, fluttering in the wind, one of the flags was held the highest, the flag was also the widest and largest, and in the middle of the blood-red flag, a big word "thunder" was written in golden italics.

The earth trembled with a loud roar, and an endless stream of men and horses galloped in the dust.

The light cavalry is in front, the infantry is behind, mighty and murderous.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers on the north wall of Zhengzhou immediately shouted, their morale was greatly boosted, and the rebel army under the city was defeated and retreated.

Suddenly, the red flag with the word "thunder" was raised, and the army immediately divided to the left and right, and half of the men and horses rushed to the north gate to attack the righteous army that was besieging the city; Half of the men and horses rushed towards Fang Chengtian's side, menacing.

In addition to his Zuo Xiao cavalry guards, the rest are all infantry, in the face of the surging cavalry, the generals suddenly changed color, as soon as the two sides came into contact, the soldiers of the righteous army were staggered by the Tang cavalry, the formation was chaotic, and in a blink of an eye they were beaten to the ground.

This sudden change, even Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao lost their positions in the chaos, and in the face of the rebel soldiers who pushed me and fled in all directions, they were helpless for a while, so they had to go with the flow and follow the army to the west!

Dong Zizheng looked at the red flag with the word "thunder" and muttered: "Thunder? Could it be the people of Lei Yinfu, the judge of the Zhaoyi Supervision Army! ”

"Lei Yin Fu!" Li Xiangrong exclaimed, "It is said that this person is very brave, and all the soldiers under him are fierce, young master ......."

As he spoke, he looked at Fang Chengtian and said, "The former army has been defeated, let's hurry up!" ”

Fang Chengtian's face was solemn, he nodded, and said, "Okay!" Brother Gao passed it down, withdraw! ”

"Yes!" Gao Shiyuan hurriedly took the order and left.

"What a wreck." Li Daniu clenched his teeth, frowned, and looked at the battlefield in front of him with an unwilling expression.

Fang Chengtian looked at Li Daniu, shook his head and said: "Our army has suffered a heavy defeat, and the formation is in chaos, and the morale is so low, it is really not suitable to fight for a long time, retreat is the best choice." ”

At this moment, a sharp-beaked monkey cheek and a big man with triangular eyes galloped over on a horse, although his hair was messy and his face was bloody, Fang Chengtian still recognized him at a glance.

This person is Huang Gang, the former general of the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard.

As soon as Huang Gang saw Fang Chengtian, he didn't wait for the horse to stop, he held up a golden token and shouted: "General Fang, General Huang has an order, order Zuo Xiao's cavalry guards to go into battle, block the Tang cavalry, and protect the retreat of the army!" ”

Fang Chengtian frowned, and looked back at the soldiers of Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard, who had already begun to retreat in formation.

Huang Gang couldn't help frowning when he saw that Fang Chengtian didn't want him, raised the token upward, and said loudly: "General Fang, please take the order!" ”

Fang Chengtian sighed lightly, hugged his fists casually, gritted his teeth and said, "Got it." ”

Huang Gang glanced at him deeply, turned the horse's head, and left quickly.

Fang Chengtian looked at Li Daniu and said in a deep voice: "Tell the brothers to gather and prepare for battle!" ”

Li Daniu's eyes widened, and he rubbed his fists and said, "Yes!" ”

Turning around and galloping out of the horse, he said in a loud voice: "General Fang has an order, the whole army gathers, the whole army gathers......"

His voice was so loud that it had already traveled hundreds of zhang away, and in this noisy battlefield, Fang Chengtian could hear it clearly.

Fang Chengtian looked at Li Da Niu's back, shook his head helplessly, and said: "How did you give birth to such a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and is afraid of Li Da Niu who has no fight!" ”

He looked at Dong Zizheng again and said, "Brother Dong, you should withdraw with the army first, if I can go back alive, I will look for you, if I unfortunately die here, whether you go or stay, just do it!" ”

"Young Master......" Li Xiangrong looked at him, wanting to comfort him, but stopped.

He is not good at persuading people, and now there is such a big disparity between the enemy and me, he really doesn't know how to persuade him?!

I had no choice but to tighten my eyebrows, with a firm face, and said, "If I don't die, the young master will be fine!" ”

Fang Chengtian looked at Li Xiangrong, his eyes were full of emotion, and he said slowly: "Brother Li, you and Brother Dong go together......"

"No way!" Li Xiangrong suddenly cut off his words, shook his head, and said, "I didn't protect the old master, I already regret it very much, if the young master ...... it again I must stay with the young master! "The tone is very tough.

Fang Chengtian sighed: "Brother Li, you don't care about yourself, you have to think about Xiaobao, right?" ”

Li Xiangrong smiled, looked at Dong Zizheng, and said, "Brother Dong, if I have any accidents, Xiaobao will entrust you to take care of them, you should leave quickly, otherwise you won't be able to leave if you want to leave for a while!" ”

Dong Zizheng looked at him, then at Fang Chengtian, nodded heavily, turned the horse's head, and left quickly.

It seems that he can't be persuaded to leave, that's it! Fang Chengtian shook his head and sighed.

At this time, Li Daniu came back with an excited face, hugged his fists and said, "General Fang, the brothers are ready, please give the order!" ”

Fang Chengtian looked back, Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard nearly 10,000 horses had been lined up, and at a glance, countless war horses, the soldiers were holding long lances, wearing armor, quietly looking at Fang Chengtian, bursts of murderous aura hidden, but even sharper!
