At the east gate of Gangneung City, a fierce battle is raging.

The gentlemen attacked fiercely, although there were no heavy siege equipment such as catapults and nest carts, but before the ladder was hung on the city wall, the gentlemen's fierce crossbow attack, the impermeable shield array, and the orderly tactics of advance and retreat all gave great pressure to the Jiangling defenders in the city.

Lin Xiong, who was supervising the battle in front of the battle, received a long-awaited letter, and he immediately ordered the two commanders to continue the siege of the city, while he took the other two commanders who had never participated in the battle, and quietly left in the vast night.

Gao Jixing was going out of the city to see Xu Zhihe, which Li Congjing expected in advance. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have let Lin Xiong attack the city and let Meng Songbai provoke a war in the post house. Only by letting things develop into an uncontrollable and unmanageable situation can Gao Jixing's position be disrupted and forced to meet Xu Zhihe, so that Li Congjing can have the opportunity to know Xu Zhihe's whereabouts.

However, Li Congjing was able to move from the post house to other locations in the city in advance, but he could not leave the city through the city gate. There is only one way to get out of the city smoothly.

Gao Jixing has also been fighting horses for half his life, and his kung fu is not bad, although he has rarely been on the battlefield in person over the years, his kung fu is inevitably weaker, but his foundation is still there. Tonight, Jiangling City was in a mess, and when Gao Jixing left the mansion, he didn't bring a lot of guards, but for the convenience and speed of action, he didn't bring too many people.

Xu Zhihe was outside the east gate of Jiangling City, but the gentleman was now attacking the east gate, and Gao Jixing chose to go out of the city from the north gate.

Some time ago, he captured Gui, Xia, and Kui, but sent the main force of the Jingnan Army out, and there were not many defenders in Jiangling City. However, Gao Jixing has worked hard in Jingnan over the years, and his strength should not be underestimated after all, the defense of Jiangling City is even stronger, and the garrison strength is also sufficient. Therefore, after hearing that the gentlemen had attacked the east city gate, although Gao Jixing knew that the situation had been completely eroded and was uneasy, he was not worried that only two thousand gentlemen would be able to break the city.

When it is ugly, the sky is high and the stars are far away.

When Gao Jixing arrived at the East City Gate, he was already sweating, although he was not wearing armor, he was in a hurry.

When the city gate guard saw Gao Jixing's herald, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the city gate and sent Gao Jixing out of the city.

Three hundred men and horses went out of the city in turn.

Gao Ji Xingxing is ahead of the team.

Half of the men and horses went out of the city, and half were in the gates.

Outside the city gate, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves.

Gao Jixing looked up in astonishment, and saw that in the night, a cavalry suddenly came out. Black helmet and black hair, long lance horses, its speed is like the wind, its momentum is like a mountain, aggression is like fire, people have not approached, the rain of arrows has fallen.

It was Lin Xiong who received the signal and waited here.

Gao Jixing's old face suddenly turned pale, and he was horrified in his heart. A crowd of people turned on their backs, and the screams and neighing of horses tore through the night.

"Escort Your Highness!" The guards on the left and right shouted loudly.

Gao Jixing didn't dare to suddenly strangle the reins of the horse, otherwise he would definitely collide with the cavalry behind, and the inertia of the battlefield made him lean over the horse's neck and slowly reduce the horse's speed.

The change occurred suddenly, and the Jiangling defenders at the city gate suddenly exploded, drew their knives and guns, and ran down the city wall. They ran and shouted, and the Gao Jixing guards, who had not yet gone out, learned of the battle situation ahead and launched them outside the city.

At this moment, inside the city gate, the cold hundred-step long street protruded the sound of horses' hooves. A team of Tsing Yi cavalry came out of the city.

There were not many of them, no more than one or twenty horsemen, followed by dozens of men armed with long knives and following on foot.

The first two knights, a man and a woman, the male wearing bright light armor, the female wearing willow leaf armor, both holding horizontal swords, one left and one right, led less than 100 sharp soldiers, and slaughtered towards the city gate

When the child was young, the pier outside Gangneung City.

"Fifth girl, the Jiangling Sailor has been dispatched!" In the melee, Zhao Xiangyao split the neck of a Yamen warrior in Tsing Yi with a knife, kicked him off the boat, saw the lights in the distance on the river, and shouted loudly to the boat approaching here.

On a small boat only one boat away from the "flagship" of Yang Wulou's ship, the fifth girl with a pair of knives finished solving the opponent in front of her, raised her head from the chaotic battle, and the green silk wet with sweat and blood was pasted on her face, setting off her small and soft face a little embarrassed, a pair of sharp eyes glanced at the Jiangling sailor in the distance, and then looked at the Yang Wu flagship close at hand, and the bottom of her eyes flashed with a thick unwillingness.

The blood soaked the red clothes, the color of the clothes in the firelight was darker, the fifth silver tooth clenched, she looked back at Zhao Xiangyao not far away in the crowd of people who were fighting back and forth, and at this time a wisp of blood mist flew near her, and she said loudly: "Zhao Xiangyao, help me!" ”

The fifth has never been a hypocritical kind of woman, although she is no longer as cold as before recently, but it has nothing to do with gentleness, she is still stubborn and strong, words like "help me" should not appear from her mouth.

Hearing these two words, Zhao Xiangyao was shocked. The meaning of his words is obvious, the Gangneung Naval Division has been dispatched, this battle can no longer be carried out, and the Military Intelligence Department must be evacuated. In other words, this operation has failed irrefutably!

"Girl, no!" Zhao Xiangyao hurriedly turned around and shouted, but it was too late, in his pupils, the fifth delicate and small figure was reflected, the red dress blooming like the moon season, had jumped up from the boat, turned over on the top of the boat, and then jumped up and landed on the roof of the Tsing Yi Yamen ship next to him.

A Tsing Yi Yamen killer slashed out like a phantom, and the long knife slashed at the petite body of the fifth girl. In an instant, Zhao Xiangyao only saw the red clothes fluttering, like petals spinning in the wind, and the fifth girl had already arrived behind the Tsing Yi Yamen killer, with her back to the killer, and blood slipped from the blade of the short blade in her hand.

The Tsing Yi Yamen killer fell from the roof of the cabin.

The fifth girl who stood up on the roof of the cabin, her clothes dancing in the river breeze, she clenched her double blades, raised her head, looked at the behemoth in front of her, and her stubborn voice was like a flower blooming on the other side, "Military Intelligence Department, you can't lose again and again!" ”

Zhao Xiangyao's heart was shocked.

Last year, Li Congjing expeditioned to the West Building, Tsing Yi Yamen was born at that time, the first battle was fought in Youzhou, in the base camp of the Military Intelligence Department, under the noses of countless military intelligence officers, successfully hijacked Ren Wanru. At that time, if it weren't for Ding Hei tracking down the Tsing Yi Yamen by chance, once Ren Wanru, who was pregnant, was handed over to Haige by the Tsing Yi Yamen and sent to the Youzhou Army in the West Building, it would be impossible to predict what kind of situation would be caused and what kind of blow it would have caused to Li Congjing.

That was the greatest humiliation that MI has endured since its inception. This shame has not been washed away to this day.

Wei Dao, who was in charge of the overall military and political situation in Youzhou at that time, in the process of handling this matter, once questioned the fifth girl who was sitting in Youzhou at that time and presided over the affairs of the Military Intelligence Department, "The Military Intelligence Department is known as the unparalleled intelligence and assassination, is it possible that the enemy's ability to take the head of the head of the family in his own house is also so unparalleled in the world?!" ”

After that incident, the fifth girl wanted to take the blame and resign, but it was Li Congjing who came forward to persuade the fifth girl to stay. But Zhao Xiangyao knew that in the past year, the fifth heart had been bitter, and she just didn't say it.

In Zhao Xiangyao's effort, he saw the fifth take off the crossbow machine he was carrying, and pulled the trigger against the wooden female wall of the building ship, and after the rope crossbow bolt was nailed to the female wall, her petite figure jumped out, attached to the hull of the ship, and used all fours together, and climbed up to the deck of the building ship.

Led by the fifth, behind her, more than a dozen crossbow arrows were shot from different directions, nailed to the hull, and more than a dozen MI men and women, octopus, were attached to the ship, and climbed the boat with their hands and feet.

On Wu Guolou's boat, countless sharp arrows flew down, and those men and women, among several people, immediately fell into the water from mid-air, smashed a puddle, splashed three feet of water, and swung out a circle of water waves.

Such a scene had repeatedly appeared in previous battles, but the other side was well guarded, and the military intelligence department building ship, which was about the same size as Wu Guolou's boat, was blocked by Yang Wu's small boat, and it was unable to get close for a long time. I have to say that in terms of water warfare, Wu Guo is indeed clear, even if it is the Tsing Yi Yamen, when manipulating the ship, it is quite orderly.

Zhao Xiangyao's eyes were about to split, he turned around and shouted: "Where is our building ship, what are you waiting for, let the second master bump into it!" After speaking, he led people to rush forward and kill desperately, to pick up the fifth girl.

Lin Anxin felt a little tired, the arm holding the long sword couldn't help but tremble slightly, and looked at the steady stream of ships and sharp soldiers of the Military Intelligence Department, and saw the other party's tactics that had forgotten to die, even if the tactics of the Tsing Yi Yamen were appropriate, he also felt bursts of pressure that was difficult to resist.

"The Military Intelligence Department really lives up to its name." Lin Anxin wrapped the wound on his arm, leaned on the hatch, looked at the river, and sighed sincerely. She has only experienced hundreds of miles of pursuit, and her energy is difficult, when she was interrogated in the hands of the military intelligence department before, the injury was not light, and at this time, if she uses the killer again, where can her body withstand it?

"Chief, the MI is here again!" There was a Tsing Yi Yamen Rui Shi shouted a warning, and before he could speak again, a red shadow jumped on the deck, his long hair flew like splashing ink, and the short blade in his hand slid through a graceful arc, and between the lightning and flint, a piece of flesh flew out of the throat of the Tsing Yi Yamen Rui Shi, his eyes were stunned, and he stared at the girl with a cold face in front of him in disbelief, and his body fell.

The short blade rested under the iron arrow, and the sharp arrow inserted in the arrow was broken for the fifth, and his eyes stared at Lin Anxin like an arrow, "Lin Anxin, hand over Xu Zhihe!" To her left and right, one after another the soldiers of the MID jumped onto the deck.

Lin Anxin stood up and clenched the long sword in his hand, in her crystal-like pupils, there was a big wound on the fifth girl's face, which was oozing blood, and the blood quickly stained the delicate little face, making it impossible to detect her youth anymore.

The Tsing Yi Yamen Rui Shi around him met the military intelligence department, and fought with each other again, Lin Anxin seized every moment to recover his strength, she looked at the fifth girl, and a smile appeared on the corner of her bewitching mouth, "How old is my sister, sixteen, or seventeen?" This is the best of years, just die here, can't say that the corpse will sink into the river and be eaten by a group of fish, is it really worth it? ”

The fifth girl didn't speak, and what responded to Lin Anxin was a blood-glittering blade

When Zhao Xiangyao went upstairs on the boat, the Jiangling Sailor was already joining the battle group and was controlling the situation, he saw the fifth girl with a bloody face sitting on the edge of the cabin door, her eyes were blank, her red dress was broken in many places, and she was obviously seriously injured, but the short blade in her hand was still firmly clamped in front of Lin Anxin's throat with her hands tied.

Seeing Zhao Xiangyao, the fifth girl spoke with difficulty, and her voice was weak: "There is no Xu Zhihe on the ship."

"Just received the rumor, His Highness deduced that Xu Zhihe is likely not here, and His Highness will soon go to track Xu Zhihe." The battle on the boat was about to end, Zhao Xiangyao squatted down in front of the fifth girl, and while asking people to quickly bandage her wounds, she told the fifth the latest situation in Jiangling City.

Receiving this news, a flash of disappointment flashed in the fifth pair of eyes, and the already blank pupils looked even more gloomy. The cold wind blew the Buddha, the green silk in her ears fluttered gently, and the fifth girl shivered slightly.

"It's so cold" she said, but then, she suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, grabbed Zhao Xiangyao and said: "The matter has come to this, Xu Zhihe is likely to escape!" Since His Highness judged that he was outside the East City Gate, there were only two ways to leave Gangneung and go downstream, and there was no one around His Highness, so you should quickly take someone to stop him."

At this point, perhaps his breath suddenly surged a little more violently, and the fifth coughed violently, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and as soon as his eyes were closed, he collapsed.
