Jiang Cuiping's martial arts were extraordinary, which surprised Ma Dai, and after twenty rounds, he actually fell to the upper hand.

"Hey...... You are a girl, and you are very good-looking, why don't you learn singing and dancing but learn martial arts? Ma Dai couldn't beat Jiang Cuiping, so he used small talk to distract her.

Jiang Cuiping was furious: "Do you care about your aunt and grandmother?" Death under the halberd! ”

The white jade halberd was wrapped in a ball of silver light, and swept towards Ma Dai like a mountain and a sea, and he couldn't wait to split Ma Dai under the horse with a halberd.

Ma Dai tried his best to respond to the battle calmly, the big knife flew up and down, saw the move, and went all out.

Jiang Cuiping can fight, but the Shen army led by her cannot, at least not against the cavalry led by Ma Dai.

In particular, the terrain of the Green Snake Ridge is high in the south and low in the north, and the four thousand Tang cavalry swooped down from the heights, relying on the strength of the war horses, and cut down at least five hundred Shen troops in one round.

Ma Dai divided the 4,000 cavalry into four teams, led one to entangle Jiang Cuiping, and the other three captains each commanded 1,000 people, galloping back and forth, dividing and surrounding the Shen army, only waiting for the infant troops to catch up and then encircle and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

"Stop fighting, it's useless for me if you win!"

Ma Dai angered Jiang Cuiping with his words, "None of your soldiers can leave, and they can only end up being wiped out." No matter how stubborn you resist, it will be in vain, and surrendering will save them from death! ”

"Grandma is going to die, and I'll pull you on my back!"

Jiang Cuiping was furious, brandishing a white jade halberd and stabbing at Ma Dai desperately, with a posture of wanting to die together, it seemed that he had put life and death out of the way.

"Good men don't fight with women!"

Ma Dai only felt that there was a cloud of silver light on Zhou's body, and he couldn't help but be a little dazzled, and secretly screamed in his heart, "This woman's martial arts are so good?" It would be nice if Brother Meng Qi was here! ”

Thirty-six plans to go for the upper plan, Ma Dai knew that he was invincible, shook a knife, and left the horse.

In the distance, the nearly 10,000 Tang army led by Guan Ying had swept in, Jiang Cuiping didn't dare to fight, and with a coquettish sound, he turned his horse and left.

It seems that the team she led is going to be explained in this Green Snake Ridge, Jiang Cuiping has no choice but to break through on a single horse, after all, she is only an eighteen-year-old girl, and her battlefield experience is really pitiful.

Ma Dai didn't plan to let Jiang Cuiping leave easily, the desert and escape just now was just a pretend, seeing that Jiang Cuiping had no intention of fighting, he hurriedly stuck the big knife on the ground, and bent his bow and arrow to aim at Jiang Cuiping's mount's eyes is an arrow.

With a "swoop", Ma Dai's cold arrow did not hit the target, but it also shot at the nostrils of the mount under Jiang Cuiping's crotch.

The war horse was in pain, and the person stood up, and knocked Jiang Cuiping, who was caught off guard, off the horse, and fell when he landed, with gold stars in his eyes.

"Where is the little lady?"

Ma Dai rode his horse to catch up, waved his knife and slashed down several Shen soldiers who came to the rescue, and the big knife was on Jiang Cuiping's neck, and the two pro-soldiers were ordered to dismount and tie up.

Jiang Cuiping had tears of grievance in her eyes, and scolded: "What kind of hero is a cold arrow hurting people?" You Tang people will only bully women! ”

Ma Dai laughed: "Haha...... Soldiers are not tired of deceit, how can there be open and hidden arrows on the battlefield? Hitting your opponent is a good arrow! Your strategy of arraying along the river is quite clever, why don't you know how to accept it when you see it? Do you have to wait until the main force of our army crosses the river and cuts off your back road before you think of withdrawing troops? ”

"The plan to line up along the river was planned by my father, and if he is here, you will not want to cross the river!" Jiang Cuiping looked unconvinced, "You are just bullying me as a weak woman!" ”

Nearly 10,000 horses led by Guan Ying intercepted them separately, attacked with the cavalry in front and back, almost wiped out the 5,000 Shen army, killed more than 3,000 people, and the rest were disarmed and surrendered, and Jiang You was also captured in the chaos.

The soldiers were very fast, and the baby and Ma Dai joined forces together, and killed the city of Wanxian overnight.

In the middle of the night, the main army of more than 20,000 led by Zhou Yu and Cao Xing arrived in Wancheng from the post road in the west, and joined Guan Ying and Ma Dai, and surrounded Wanxian County.

Knowing that Jiang You and Jiang Cuiping were captured, Zhou Yu personally persuaded him to surrender: "Those who know the times are Junjie, our Tang Kingdom has risen rapidly, and our Tang Gong is a descendant of Emperor Yan." If the two of you can persuade the soldiers in the city to open the door and surrender, Tang Gong will definitely not treat you badly! ”

Jiang Cuiping scolded: "You Tang Kou invaded our country for no reason, and our Shen Kingdom will not surrender even if we fight to the last man!" Hugh has to spend more time here, just kill my aunt and grandmother! ”

"This girl's mouth is hard enough, why don't you hand it over to the last general, how about it?" Cao Xuan stroked the beard at the corner of his lower lip, revealing a hint of evil gaze.

Zhou Yu glanced at Cao Xing with a stern gaze and reprimanded: "Our army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, don't make any crooked calculations in your heart, otherwise don't blame Yu for not thinking about righteousness!" ”

Zhou Yu ordered someone to escort Jiang Cuiping down and deal with it separately in the future. Then he began to lobby Jiang You again, and after a long time, Jiang You finally relented and expressed his willingness to recruit the defenders in the city for Zhou Yu.

At dawn the next day, Zhou Yu led 40,000 soldiers out of the camp, set up a uniform formation to surround the four walls of Wancheng, and put pressure on the Shen army in the city with an overwhelming shout, destroying their fighting spirit.

Jiang You urged the horse to come out of the ranks, and came to the moat to persuade him to surrender loudly: "All the soldiers in the city, the weak eat the strong in this world, our Shen Kingdom is now running out, everyone might as well open the door......"

With a "whoosh", a cold arrow flew down from the city wall, hit Jiang You's throat, and fell off the horse.

Xiangbang Shen Xi raised his arms and shouted: "Soldiers, Jiang You betrayed the country to seek glory, he is innocent of death, everyone is desperately defending the city, and when Shenhou returns, why worry that the Tang army will not break?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly in the distance, waved his hand and ordered the siege: "It's a pity, Jiang You failed to convince the defenders in the city after all!" It seems that it is time to exercise our army's ability to attack fortifications, pass on my orders, attack the city with all your might, and be sure to take Wancheng before dark! ”

"Kill, break Wancheng, destroy Shen Kingdom, disarm and don't kill, and those who surrender will not die!"

With Zhou Yu's order, 40,000 Tang troops, under the leadership of the three generals Guan Ying, Ma Dai, and Cao Xing, carried a shield on their heads, carried a cloud ladder, crossed the moat, and launched a strong attack on Wancheng, which was high and thick.

Wancheng is tall enough, and the city wall is strong enough, but the troops on the city wall are too few, and the three thousand regular troops and two thousand county soldiers are scattered, and there are only more than 1,000 people on each wall.

Among these 5,000 people, there are only about 2,000 professional crossbowmen, and they are scattered on the four city walls, and each side is about 500, and the crossbow arrows shot under the city walls are like sporadic light rain, which cannot pose much threat to the Tang army sweeping across the mountains and fields.

However, the Tang army's crossbowmen suppressed the Shen army with wave after wave of upward fire under the city, and the crackling feathered arrows fell on the city wall and hit the armor like hail. If you are not careful, you will be shot in the vital point, and you will fall off the city wall and bury your life in a daze.

"The baby is here, why don't you come down early?"

Guan Ying was stubborn and stubborn, carrying a cloud ladder to lead five hundred first-class soldiers to attack the city, and the first to climb the city and wave his sword to kill the surrounding Shen army.

Countless Tang troops followed Guan Ying upstream, brandished broadswords to kill the defenders, and soon took control of the northern city wall of Wanxian County, cut the drawbridge, opened the city gate, and welcomed the army into the city.

"Charge!"

Ma Dai took the lead with his sword and led four thousand cavalry to sweep in, and the tens of thousands of troops behind him immediately poured into Wancheng like a tide.

There was no need to wait for the evening, at noon, the Tang army completely controlled Wancheng and captured the main civil and military forces of the Shen State such as Xiangbang Shen Xi. And controlled the granary, treasury and other important facilities of the Shen State, took off all the flags of the Shen State, and replaced them with the flags of the Tang State fluttering in the wind.

Standing on the wall of Wanxian County, Zhou Yu was very relieved, and repeatedly thanked the soldiers under his command: "Soldiers, it only took you five days to take the royal city of Shenguo, which is a proud feat." When you grow old in the future, you can proudly say to your children and grandchildren that the Tang Dynasty has a contribution I made back then! ”

After a pause, he continued to say loudly: "But according to the report from the scout, Weiss has sent Le Yang and Pang Juan to raise 100,000 troops to attack Pinglu, so there are still many vicious battles waiting for us to fight, to defend our hometown, to protect our relatives!" ”

Zhou Yu ordered Guan Ying to temporarily serve as the Taishou of Wancheng, and Cao Xing served as the deputy general, leading 20,000 horses to defend Wancheng, and divided troops to pacify the nearby county seats, set an example to calm the people, promote the policy of the Tang State, and win the hearts of the people.

"General Gongjin is in charge of the rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to his mission, as long as the baby has a breath, Wancheng will be as stable as Mount Tai!" Guan Ying gave up his hand and gave Zhou Yu a verbal military order.

Zhou Yu patted Guan Ying on the shoulder and encouraged: "In our army, the first one is General Guan Ying, with you in Wancheng, Yu is very relieved!" ”

After arranging the defense of Wancheng, Zhou Yu did not dare to delay, and immediately left Wancheng with Ma Dai and 20,000 soldiers overnight, crossed the water, and returned north to the Tang mainland to rescue Pinglu, Hanoi and other two important towns on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Constrained by the slow transmission of information, Zhou Yu only knew that the 100,000 Wei army was marching towards Pinglu at the moment, but he didn't know how far the war situation had developed. I can only pray in my heart that the three of Judge, Ji Ling, and Liao Hua can defend Pinglu, carry the Wei army for a while, and persist until the reinforcements return.

After Zhou Yu led his troops across the water, he saw Zhao Yun coming from the direction of Luyang with a hundred and ten horses, and rode his horse to Zhou Yu and saluted: "Yun greets General Gongjin!" ”

"Why did General Zilong come from the direction of Luyang?" Zhou Yu asked with a surprised expression.

Zhao Yun explained: "After the defeat of Taigu, the lord rushed to Dayu Mountain to set up an ambush, intending to ambush the Shen army, and he was ashamed. However, Jiang Huan was cunning and cunning, and did not return the same way, but led his troops to kill Xingyang. The lord led 7,000 Zhou troops to leave Dayu Mountain to capture Luyang, and led his troops to the north to rescue Xingyang overnight yesterday evening. ”

Zhou Yu bowed his head and said: "The lord is fine, our army has taken Wancheng and occupied all the important towns of Shen State. As long as Jiang Huan is defeated, the state of Shen will cease to exist. Zilonghuo rate cavalry served as the vanguard, and Ma Dai and I led the infantry to the north to reinforce Xingyang! ”
