"Panic what! Have you been hacked by a blind bear? Wanyan Zonghan said coldly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Zong Han, Zong Han. Something went wrong. The Lou Room Army was severely damaged by the Yongding Army of the Song people! Namouk said with a pale face.

"Buzz!" Wanyan Zonghan's mind was a little confused. A bad premonition hit me.

"What's going on!!" Wanyan Zonghan asked urgently.

"Lou Room and Shehema took 8,000 men and horses to pursue Yao Pingzhong. I didn't want to meet the Yongding Army, so I started to fight on the lower left. was severely injured by Liu Ping. Eight thousand people came back, and less than two hundred people returned. Lou RoomΒ·Β· Lou Room was killed! ”

"What! Lou Room! Lou Room was killed!! A cloud of anger rose in Wanyan Zonghan's eyes!! Wanyan Lou Room was the first confidant general to follow his family, and he repeatedly performed miraculous feats when he conquered Liao, and he was simply Wanyan Zonghan's right-hand man. Some time ago, Lou Mur's son and daughter were killed by the Yongding Army when they went out with their own family, and they already felt sorry for their old subordinate, but they didn't expect to be killed by Liu Ping's hateful guy again, which really made Wanyan Zonghan furious!!

Suddenly, Wanyan Zonghan thought of something, grabbed Na Mouke and said in a cruel voice: "What about the horse!" What about my Shehoma!! ”

"The prince was plundered by Liu Ping!" Namouk said bitterly.

"Are those guards on duty all!! How unbearable it can be! Wanyan Zonghan said angrily.

At this time, a personal guard Pu Liyan carefully came to Zong Han with a package. He said in a low voice: "Zong Han, the Song people sent this." ”

Wanyan Zonghan pulled the package over, only to see that there was a bloody arm inside, and the blood on the broken arm had already coagulated. Next to the severed arm was a letter, and I saw that it said that this arm was completed and set up a horse. I saw that it was written: Retire from Taiyuan as soon as possible, otherwise you will definitely be presented with a horse head! The signature is Yongdingjun Liu Ping.

Wanyan Zonghan's face twitched, his eyes were full of anger, he trembled and stroked the broken arm, and let out a wolf-like roar.

"Liu Ping thief, I swear to kill you!!"

After Yan Zonghan finished yelling, he felt that his eyes were dark, and he was about to fall backwards. The silver technique behind Xin Yu hugged Wan Yan Zonghan. Didn't let him fall.

"Zong Han!!" Silversmith can say urgently.

"It's okay!!" Wanyan Zonghan opened his eyes suddenly, broke free of Yinshuke's hands, and gritted his teeth.

"Zong Han, give me three thousand erlang, I'll go and snatch the Shehema back for you!" Silversmith said angrily.

"Don't go! No one is allowed to go! Liu Ping is afraid that he will have to send troops to a certain family. A certain family can't go! Now Taiyuan is already at the end of the crossbow, as long as you hold on for another three or two days, you can completely take Taiyuan! Take Taiyuan first! After taking Taiyuan, a certain family wants to personally bring people to avenge Lou Room and the sons who died in battle! And save Shehema! Wanyan Zonghan said with a fury.

"No!!" A group of fierce Anmouke responded one after another.

"Tell Wushu not to act rashly with his Tiefutu, as long as he follows the old army's horsetail, he can't attack first, and then notify all Mouke to attack Taiyuan with all his might!!"

"No!" Everyone responded in unison.

Outside the city of Taiyuan. The offensive and defensive battles day and night have eroded the bodies and wills of both sides, and no one can sacrifice their lives on the edge of life and death for two days without sleep.

The fierce fighting lasted for a whole day, and in one day, the Jin people paid the price of nearly 4,000 people, and finally forcibly took the outer city of Taiyuan. Let all the Jin people be in good spirits, all the Taiyuan defenders and people can only retreat to the inner city, the Jin people want to take Taiyuan in one go, but the soldiers and civilians in the inner city swear to resist to the death, almost all the people are soldiers. Forcefully suppressed the momentum of the Jin people's attack, and at this moment, the Taiyuan guard Wang Liao and Zhizhou Zhang Xiaochun were both injured, panting and sitting behind the wall battlements, smiling bitterly at each other. Fang Cai once again defeated an attacking Jin soldier. I don't know how many attacks this is. Every time the Jin people retreated after dropping seventy or eighty corpses, but in the end, the more the Jin people came up, the bigger and bigger they didn't want to die, and even the soldiers in the city had given up fighting with the Jin people, that is, they didn't want to hold the Jin people and fell down the high city wall, and would rather die than give in.

After fighting until the night, Wanyan Zonghan reluctantly collected his troops, and after a little rectification, the defenders on the high wall also got a little respite. Zhizhou Zhang Xiaochun was weak and half lying on the ground at the moment, his own guards died not far from him, more than 30 sturdy men, all fighting to the death in the city, desperately protecting themselves, the last guard who died in battle, in order to block the dark arrows of the golden people for himself, stepped forward, fought and blocked three arrows, the blood flowed endlessly, and he still fought wildly, killing three Jin people who rushed up. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago.

"General Wang, it seems that we can't hold out until tomorrow." Zhang Xiaochun looked at Wang Li, who was resting with his eyes closed.

Wang Li, who was also half-leaning on the wall, opened his eyes suddenly, revealing a fierce look, murderous, and said in a hoarse voice: "Hehe." Master Zhang, if you can't keep it, you can't keep it. My old king's life should have died, and I fought on the battlefield for half a lifetime, and I didn't expect to be able to die of old age! Hey, it's just a pity for the people of Taiyuan. ”

Zhang Xiaochun heard that he couldn't help but have some relatives in his heart, he was full of loyalty to the monarch for the country, it was this belief that supported him to guard Taiyuan City, he was to learn that the imperial court intended to cede Taiyuan to Taiyuan City, but he also understood that the imperial court was forced to be helpless, thinking that as long as the people of Taiyuan City did not surrender and the defenders did not surrender, then he would bring hundreds of thousands of people to support the arrival of the army supported by the imperial court.

But unexpectedly, what he was looking forward to was the holy decree of surrender, and at this moment, the belief in the heart of this governor of a prefecture who was full of loyalty to Zhao and Song was completely broken. At this moment, Zhang Xiaochun no longer has the confidence he used to have, and he is full of confidence that the imperial court will send troops to come.

"I didn't expect the court to be so mediocre, hehe, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, is it just like that~~ Haha, it's really funny, pity me and so resist, waiting for the king to come to the rescue, in the end it is still empty!" Zhang Xiaochun smiled helplessly.

"I heard that the Western Army had already sent more than 100,000 military horses to the rescue, but none of them could reach the city of Taiyuan. What Lu Yundi said that day should not be a lie, it seems that there are really no reinforcements. Wang Di said lightly. I am not a descendant of the Western Army, I am not a father and a mother, I am a straight man, and I don't know what to serve, I don't know how many times I have offended my superiors, I am a fighting man, I don't understand those twists and turns, but since I am staying in this Taiyuan City, I really admire you, Lord Zhang, you are a good official, but it is not like those who only know the big headscarf of women's silver, you are honest and sincere for the people, since you arrived in Taiyuan, light and thin, it has only been a few years, There is one in the states of Yunnei that can compare to the wealth of Taiyuan, otherwise the Jin people will not take a fancy to the rich city of Taiyuan! ”

"Haha! General Wang, we love to hear what you say. Zhang Xiaochun grinned and said, his hair was already scattered, and he was wearing clothes and armor haphazardly, how could he have the gentle appearance of a high-ranking official. After a moment of conversation, he said gloomily: "I just want to really want to do something for the people of Taiyuan, but I haven't done it yet, and I have caught up with the Jin people." Hey, seeing the people being slaughtered, I didn't have anything to do, and I felt guilty. ”

While the two were talking, there was a strange noise from under the city. Wang Liao is highly alert; I immediately felt that something was wrong. Look down and look out carefully. , I saw the city, taking advantage of the faint light of the night to see clearly, downstairs there are more than 3,000 golden soldiers, fully armed. The horse-bit straw man took the knife and quietly touched the city of Taiyuan, wanting to capture Taiyuan again through a night attack, but fortunately Wang Liao found it early.

"Someone! There is an enemy attack!! Wang Liao shouted loudly.

Hula, all the resting soldiers got up. Each guarded their own weapons, and looked at the golden soldiers under the wall in unison.

"Pour the oil on fire!!" Wang Liao commanded in a loud voice. This kind of oil is the earliest oil, through the fuse, ignited the oil in the basin, like a tongue of fire, ignited more than a dozen golden soldiers climbing up. The burned golden soldier let out a wolf's howl and fell down.

All of a sudden, Taiyuan City, which was still very quiet, immediately became lively. There was another sound of fighting, many generals were covered in wounds, and under them were Brother Paoze, who had been dead for a long time, and the blood had been solidified in the cold night, Wang Liao slashed to death a golden soldier who was crawling on his head, Pu Liyan, the knife flashed, and the human skull fell down, and the blood splashed his face.

"Phew! This group of dead tartars who can't stop killing!! Wang Qi cursed.

Suddenly, one looked up and saw Zhang Xiaochun not far away being surrounded by three golden people in a corner, Zhang Xiaochun's personal guards had been killed in the daytime, and he still had time to deploy some of the past. At this moment, Zhang Xiaochun himself is holding a sword, still fighting fiercely, don't look at Zhang Xiaochun's literati background, but he is proficient in some technical fencing, more than half a hundred years old is like a young man with full physical strength, with one enemy and three is actually at ease, but after all, Zhang Xiaochun is the highest commander of Taiyuan City, if he is in danger, it will be a great blow to Taiyuan's military heart. However, his side was also surrounded by Jin people, so he couldn't help shouting at the people around him: "Go and help Master Zhang!" ”

After all, Zhang Xiaochun is also a half-hundred person, although he has learned some swordsmanship, but his physical strength is still much worse than that of this group of female real barbarians, and he was slashed by a golden soldier in his body, and the blood flowed when he was killed, and he suffered a knife desperately, and he lived in front of the nearest golden soldier, and the cold sword in his hand shook, penetrating the throat of the golden man, and he was just about to turn around, only to feel a bad wind behind him. On the side of the face, I saw a strong Jurchen man wielding a scimitar and slashing not far from his side neck, and it was too late to hide, so he said secretly: "It seems that my life is on the line!!"
