But he said that Tang Wanqian saw that the opponent's formation had been completed, so he had no choice but to wait for the opponent to attack. However, Dou Ying gave an order, and the ironclad array of the Black Flag Army began to move forward step by step, Tang Wanqian ordered the archers to shoot arrows, but the nickname of the Black Flag Army was the Iron Armor Army, and the thin chain soft armor on their bodies was good at resisting arrows, and they used the regimental card in their hands to block their heads, and walked to a distance of eighty steps from the rebels in small steps, and tied up the battle line, and then the shield resisted. Tang Wanqian looked at it for a long time, and felt that it was wrong, suddenly the crossbowmen behind the shield flashed out, and the iron arrows attacked, and they shot down most of the infantry of the front army in a while, and the arms of many shield soldiers were nailed to the shield by the iron arrows, and they couldn't fight. So the archers were exposed, and seeing that the other party was about to launch again, Tang Wanqian had no choice but to let the infantry charge and send cavalry to flank, hoping to stop the opponent's offensive.

The Black Flag Army immediately formed an ironclad formation in four directions, with spears lined up, with the shield-bearers in the front row holding their shields against their shoulders and cooperating with the neighboring soldiers at the same time, revealing a gap below, where a soldier in the middle used a hook gun to sweep away the soldiers who rushed to the front, and the pikemen in the back poked the cavalry running from above. Once the enemy is grouped, the veterans will separate from time to time, allowing the crossbowmen hiding behind to show up and fire iron arrows to demoralize the opponent. These soldiers cooperated very tacitly, and the captains of each gate would also divide the formation gate at the right time, and put ironclad horses to attack the enemy's generals and cavalry. Within a quarter of an hour of the battle, the rebel camp had lost more than 300 cavalry and a dozen generals.

Tang Wanyan rushed over angrily with a big sword at the moment, and directly bypassed the phalanx to hit Dou Yingzhongjun. Dou Ying's Chinese army was surrounded by long halberds on all sides, and there were many crossbowmen. Dou Ying saw that Tang Wanren rushed over, so he separated the people and horses, and danced the snake spear to meet him. I was nervous in the Chinese army, for fear that the old general would lose. But it seems that I am too worried, although Tang Wanren's knife skills are excellent, but Dou Ying's marksmanship is also good, the two of them have fought more than 120 times and are not high or low, at this time Dou Yunpeng returned to the battle, and saw that the front army was fighting lively, so he danced a double whip and hit the rebels from behind. The general of the rebels pressing the formation was the man wearing the horned beast helmet who fled before, and when he saw Dou Yunpeng, he panicked, and rushed over with a random three-strand fork.

Dou Yunpeng smiled: You have changed guys again now? I'll give this to me too! As he spoke, the two horses intersected, and as soon as he put his hands on the ground, he covered his arms and fled, so the entire rear army collapsed. Dou Yunpeng couldn't catch up, so he rushed over to fight the front army, at this moment those front troops were fighting hard, suddenly there was chaos behind them, and when he looked back, he saw that the rear army was running bright, so he had no intention of fighting again, and began to retreat in a comprehensive manner. Dou Yunpeng said to the Black Flag Army: Cover up the past and capture the camp in the north of the city! The Black Flag Army immediately received the order and pursued the whole army and ran towards the camp north of the city. Dou Yunpeng jumped on the horse and came to the camp first, Dong Zhentian came out of the camp to see, Dou Yunpeng came back, and with the black soldiers, so he thought that the cavalry and archers in the camp were defeated and retreated, and only the rest of the soldiers and horses were left to fight again, so he ordered the army to withdraw from the camp north of the city.

When the Black Flag Army saw that the rebels abandoned the camp, they immediately came to chase after it, and Dong Zhentian personally broke it, so Dou Yunpeng rushed over and said: It's not too late to ask you to fight again tomorrow! Dong Zhentian nodded, so he slowly retreated to the rebel camp in the north of the city. At this moment, the Black Flag Army had already captured the camp in the north of the city and held here, Dou Yunpeng immediately flew to help his father, not wanting that Tang Wanqian to be invincible for a long time, and turned around to find that he had been defeated at this moment, so he had to draw his knife and escape. So Dou Ying and I brought the Chinese army to come together, and Dou Yunpeng went all the way to the north gate of the city. At this moment, Na Xiao Liang saw that the rebels in the north of the city were defeated, and he was afraid that the enemy would attack on the side, so he hastily collected his troops and returned to the camp. So Emperor Cheng happily asked the Imperial Forest Army to open the north gate and let Dou Ying and me in, while Dou Yunpeng and the Black Flag Army were stuck in the camp north of the city. In this way, Cangzhou City can be regarded as temporarily relieved.

Zheng Tianbai led a team of men to the door to pick us up. As soon as I saw that Zheng Tong was fine, I was excited, and went up to ask about Han Baiwen and Gongsun Liang, but he told me that Han Baiwen and Liang Jin were guarding the West Gate, and Gongsun Liang had gathered and moved to Nanyang. Dou Ying said on the side: Could it be that he is the descendant of Yingchuan Gongsun Li? I nodded. He continued: Well, in the battle back then, there was no Gongsun Li who had made the old man suffer, and his son would definitely be brave and extraordinary. Why should such a character be hidden from the people? It's a pity to think about it! At this time, Emperor Cheng walked down the city with a fan, and as soon as I saw that it was the emperor, I immediately ran over and bowed down and said: Your Majesty forgive your sins, the villain is late! Dou Ying was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this white-faced scholar with insufficient blood and blood was the legendary Emperor Cheng? He also fell down on one knee behind me at the moment.

Emperor Cheng shook his hand and said: Why did I blame you? It's that you took my golden tiger talisman, and you actually pretended to be a general everywhere, and now don't you tell Yu me quickly, which way of officers and soldiers did you brought? As he spoke, he looked behind him, carefully examined Dou Ying's uniform, and suddenly felt familiar. So he pointed with his fan, "Are you ...... That Dou Ying raised his head and arched his hand and said: Sinners Dou Ying, meet His Majesty the Emperor! Said three shouts and long live bowed forward. That Emperor Cheng suddenly threw the fan and took three steps back: You are indeed Dou Ying, the commander of the Black Flag Army of the former dynasty! Zheng Tianbai was taken aback, at this time, all the generals came to the north gate to see the driver, and they also heard that the reinforcements from Youzhou had entered the city, so they came to congratulate each other, and now they were also surprised to see the fierce appearance of Dou Ying. When Ma Hongyuan saw that it was him, he drew his knife and came out and said: Your Majesty! My eldest brother died under the guns of this guy back then! Please allow the last general to take revenge! As he spoke, dozens of generals poured out of the Imperial Forest Army, all claiming that his father and brother had died at his hands.

I immediately kowtowed, "Your Majesty! Back then, each served his master, and the swords and soldiers intersected on the battlefield, and they were upright, no matter whether they lived or died, how could they have personal grudges? Doesn't it say that the horse leather shroud is a vendetta of the big husband? If you take revenge on him today, won't all the heroes and martyrs who died back then ruin the wisdom of a lifetime? I hope Your Majesty and your Excellency will forgive him! Those generals don't know what to do for a while. Dou Ying stood up and held the hilt of the sword and said: The old man has been bright and upright all his life, he has never had a personal grudge with anyone, and he was also loyal to the monarch and protecting the country when he killed him, and he has a clear conscience! If you want to take revenge, the old man will not run away, but you have to go on the horse and fight under the eyes of everyone to see who can win the head of the old man! As he spoke, he took a step forward and opened his eyes, but those generals did not dare to move. Ma Hongyuan was stunned and said: Sure enough, he is a good man! Good! If Your Majesty had pardoned you, you would not have been held accountable; Otherwise, you must be compared to you! The Guards were clapping their shields in demonstration.

Emperor Cheng suddenly smiled and said: You can give it a try! When Ma Hongyuan heard this, he walked to the street and said: General, please! That Dou Ying smiled slightly, pulled out his sword and said: Let's try your sword skills! As he spoke, he strode over with his sword. That Ma Hongyuan immediately picked up the knife, like flying snow, and Dou Ying only held the sword. That Ma Hongyuan suddenly slashed with a knife, and with the power of a thousand jun, I couldn't help but worry about Dou Ying. As a result, Dou Yingluo turned to one side and sent it to the side with the tip of his sword, and Ma Hongyuan rushed over directly. So Ma Hongyuan turned around and slashed again, Dou Ying just used the tip of the sword to pick the knife, all of which meant that he was a thousand catties. Ma Hongyuan fought back and forth for dozens of times, but still couldn't gain the upper hand, so he had to admit defeat. So Dou Ying said with his back to the sword: Although Your Excellency's sword skills are sharp, the murderous intent is too heavy, otherwise if you stop it a little, the old man will already lose your hand at this moment! Ma Hongyuan couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard it.

Emperor Cheng called over Ma Hongyuan patted him on the shoulder and said: That Dou Ying was a famous sword master in the previous dynasty, even in the contemporary era, there are few people who can surpass him, don't be discouraged! Ma Hong didn't dare from afar. I saw that Emperor Cheng seemed to be in a good mood, so I immediately surrendered my hand and said: Your Majesty, I don't know if I can pardon Dou Ying's department and allow all his people to return to their roots? When Dou Ying heard this, he bowed down to the ground.

Emperor Cheng's face suddenly sank and he turned around and said: Didn't they all change their surnames to Nie? I still beg me to do something! Now I was sweating prostrately, and prostrating was not only guilty. Dou Ying arched his hand and said: Thank you, Your Majesty! The officers and men of my Black Flag Army will definitely repay His Majesty's grace with death! Then he prostrated and bled out. I looked back at the old man and was very excited, so I went over and pulled him up and said, "What are you talking about?" Your Majesty has not yet pardoned, how can I thank you? As a result, Emperor Cheng shook his head and left, and the rest of the generals followed Emperor Cheng to Mingyue Tower.

That Dou Ying patted me on the shoulder and said: Your Majesty's intention is already clear, since we are waiting for the banner, we are naturally not the people of the previous dynasty, and since we have played the Nie character flag, the guilt and innocence are naturally listening to you, brother, don't you understand? Your Majesty has already recognized us as a passer-by, which is naturally a means of forgiveness! It dawned on me, but he continued: But whether Your Majesty blames you or not, the old man doesn't know, it depends on how you deal with it before driving! The old man wants to go back immediately to tell the brothers the good news, Brother Nie is invited! Saying that, the half-hundred-year-old boy opened the city gate and ran away. I looked down and saw that Emperor Cheng's fan was still on the ground, so I picked it up and unfolded it to see, one side was woven with gold thread and the double dragon play beads, the beads were written with the word Tiancheng, and the other side was a big character, Cheng! I thought to myself, this fan of Emperor Cheng is also quite interesting. Suddenly remembering that the tiger talisman had not yet been returned, I asked the captain of the gatekeeper and learned that the holy car was in the Mingyue Tower, so I took the fan and ran over.

At this time, the streets were full of people and horses moving, carrying goods, and people were queuing up at various government offices to receive supplies. I walked a few blocks and could barely make out the way I used to go. As a result, a person behind me patted me on the shoulder and said: Are you from that battalion? When I turned around, I was surprised, it turned out to be Han Baiwen! He was now wearing a blue robe covered with a layer of soft armor, and a green gauze hat on his head was covered with dust. I saw that he was stunned, and immediately shook off the dust for him and said: I just heard that you are guarding the city in the west of the city, and I have been worried for a while, afraid that something will happen to you! He suddenly put his arms around me and cried: "Brother! I thought I'd never see you again! I haven't seen you for these days, and then Liang Dudu told you that you went to Youzhou alone, and he snorted and said: I heard that Youzhou is not peaceful, and there are wild beasts infested, I didn't expect you to come back!

Liang Dudu? You mean Uncle Liang? I asked.

Well, with tears in his eyes, he told everything that had happened these days. I knocked my head with a fan and said: This Emperor Cheng is really destined to be endless, it sounds really a thousand shots! He nodded and said: It's a pity big brother, that day he alone brought 10,000 horses and 300,000 stone grain and rice, but he didn't want to stay to defend the city, so the brothers couldn't get together again, alas! I said: That's because the eldest brother has a sister-in-law and a lively son, and all the enemies have run away, won't it be over for our brothers to go to Nanyang to find the eldest brother? Han Baiwen suddenly smiled and said: Don't forget, you still have four years of exile on your body that you haven't served! I stomped my foot and said, "Why did you forget this!" Han Baiwen said: Where is my brother going now? I said: See the driver, return the things! Then let's go together! He walked with a few soldiers and me to the Mingyue Tower.

At this moment, those generals and colonels all persuaded Emperor Cheng not to easily contain the Black Flag Army, Ma Hongyuan bowed his head and was silent, he knew Emperor Cheng's personality. Sure enough, the more everyone objected, the more angry he became, so he stood up and touched the fan but didn't see it, at this time I entered with Han Baiwen with the fan, and the more the generals looked at us, the more unpleasant they became. It turned out that I didn't know, those people in the Imperial Forest Army felt unfair in private, because these days, Emperor Cheng reused almost all the soldiers of Cangzhou, and even entrusted a fifteen-year-old child with a heavy responsibility, so he couldn't get used to it. Although Han Baiwen is usually kind to people, he still can't avoid being looked down upon by the Royal Forest Army, after all, letting those royal guards listen to a child point fingers makes them feel a lot lower.

Emperor Cheng saw me kneeling in front of me with a fan, so he waved his hand and said: Don't roll over yet! As soon as I heard that he was angry, I had to walk over in a low voice, raised the fan above my head and handed it over, he snatched it in his hand and said: Do you have anything to say? I hummed, and he said, "All stand down!" Those Imperial Forest Soldiers were stunned for a moment, so they had to withdraw with Han Baiwen and stay downstairs.

Emperor Cheng stretched out his hand and said: Less garlic, bring it quickly! I then took out the tiger talisman and said: Fortunately, I am not dishonored! Fortunately, I didn't lose it! Emperor Cheng Qi said: How do you keep this tiger talisman? As soon as I heard this, I couldn't tell him that I still had a small pocket on my inner thigh! So I arched my hand and said: Naturally, be careful! He sat down and said, "Report as soon as possible!" So I told what I saw and heard along the way, but I didn't mention the matter of Changsun Feiying. He closed the fan and said: Well done! My eldest brother has always had a long-cherished wish, that is, he can hold the red and black flags to the fullest, and now that you have accepted the Black Flag Army and fulfilled my eldest brother's wish, I will spare you from exile! When I heard it, I was happy and said, "Really? Then I can go back to my hometown tomorrow? As soon as he glared at me, I stuck out my tongue and stopped talking.

He continued: But you shouldn't be greedy for fun and write your name on the flag of the Chinese army! I immediately said: That's not what I meant, it's actually ...... All right! He waved his hand and said: The merits and demerits are compensated, and there is no reward or punishment. If that Gauge really came with troops, we have the following! He shook his fan and laughed. So I bowed my head and said yes, and then said, "What about the Black Flag Army?" Emperor Cheng got up and said: Can you write? I nodded and said, "Ordinary words are okay!" So Emperor Cheng pointed to the pen and ink in front of the case and said: I said you write! So I sat down in Emperor Cheng's chair and picked up the pen. Emperor Cheng turned around and said: Simpler, you can write: The former Feiwei general Dou Ying's department, loyal and moved heaven and earth, I will exempt Dou from bandit status on the same day, and each person will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver to help him rebuild his home. Dou Ying continued to be the general of my Feiwei, enjoying three grades, and all the generals under his account were hired. In view of Dou Yunpeng's extraordinary bravery, I specially decreed that he should be appointed as the general of the Fifth Rank of the Imperial Forest Army, and stay by Dou Ying's side to listen to it. After the siege is lifted, if you make meritorious service, you will be rewarded. In addition, the Black Flag Army was included in the ranks of the Praetorian Guards, which were commanded by my relatives, had no will, did not listen to others' dispatches, and allowed them to fight the Golden Dragon Banner and the White Wolf Tooth Banner.

He paused and said, "You can write it!" I blushed and said: There are a few words that are empty...... He turned around and said, "Who told you not to study well?" What words? So Emperor Cheng took the pen and filled in those words, stamped the jade seal, and asked me to take the will to the camp in the north of the city. I secretly circled those words with my pen and ran out as fast as I could. Han Baiwen and the others saw me running out, but they didn't have time to ask, so they were called in by Emperor Cheng. Emperor Cheng said: Now that the north of the city is open, the situation is improving, Gao Qi's army of 50,000 will arrive today, and I plan to leave Cangzhou with the Youzhou army and return to Beijing, I am afraid that you will have to defend for a while longer.

Liang Jin entered the inner road and said: Your Majesty must not be like this! Emperor Cheng Dao: Why not? Liang Jindao: The military and civilians of Cangzhou are united in their efforts to protect the Holy Lord, and now if the Holy Lord abandons the city and leaves, I am afraid that Cangzhou will be self-defeating! Emperor Cheng said: In this case, does the governor have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy? Liang Jindao: Now it seems that Xiao Liang's troops did not really attack, although the rebels are numerous, but today's defeat has shown its decline, as long as Gao Qi's army arrives, we will wave the army out of the city, the rebels will be invincible, and the saint will be safe! Ma Hong said: Why didn't the governor rob the camp? Liang Jindao: Among the other army, there are many good generals, and it may not be good to rob the camp. However, in the field of the army, morale comes first, no matter how powerful the rebels are, there are reinforcements from our army in front, and we are fighting for their lives, so we don't have to worry that the rebels will not break! Ma Hongyuan said: Your Majesty, if you take advantage of the defeat of the rebels tonight, the last general will lead the 2,000 cavalry of the forbidden army out of the city, and take him by surprise.

Liang Jindao: That Tang Wanren's martial arts are good, I'm afraid you will lose! Ma Hong said: On the field battle of Dengcheng, it may not be as good as the governor, but I am not bad at leading the army to assault and take the head of the general! When Emperor Cheng heard this, he said: Don't be reluctant! Ma Hongyuan bowed down and said: These days, the Praetorian Guards have not been able to shrink, and they have long suffocated the brothers, and now that the war is imminent, the Praetorian Guards naturally can't easily go down to the city to fight with the rebels, but tonight is a good opportunity, please ask Your Majesty to allow the Praetorian Guards to make meritorious contributions! Those generals bowed down and said: I beg your majesty's permission! Emperor Cheng had no choice but to say: Then you must be careful! So Ma Hongyuan said happily: Yes! Your Majesty rest assured! I got up and went out with the generals. Liang Jin shook his head and said: I must have heard that the Black Flag Army is here, so I want to make meritorious service first, alas! It's so unstable! Emperor Cheng said with a smile: Ma Hong is far from being a general who stays at home, and he also fought a lot of battles in Mobei in his early years, so don't worry! Liang Jindao: Because of this, I can't rest assured, I heard that many of the generals under Tang Wancheng are meritorious heroes, and all of them are well versed in the art of war. Emperor Cheng said: Don't worry, even if it is unfavorable, there is still the Black Flag Army as a backup! So Liang Jin had no choice but to remain silent.

At this time, I took Emperor Cheng's will and rushed to the camp in the north of the city. The men and horses of the Black Flag Army were listening to Dou Ying's teachings, and they learned that the Holy Lord had forgiven, so their morale was high. When the guards saw me coming, they let me in. I immediately ran to Dou Ying's big tent, and Dou Ying was saying something with his hands behind his back, but I ran behind him all of a sudden, happily reaching out to pat him on the shoulder, but Dou Yunpeng blocked with a whip on one side: Don't be so rude to my father!

Dou Ying looked back and saw that it was me: What is the matter with the little brother looking for the old man? I took out the will and handed it over, saying, "The Holy One has decreed, see for yourself!" As soon as he heard this, he immediately took it and looked at it a few times, and then bowed down in the direction of Mingyue Tower: Chen Minggan is five, and he will definitely serve with death! I said: General, don't say anything dead, you are a lot older, I think it is better to consider going home to enjoy happiness, when the time comes, your son will fill in a grandson for you, and the family is harmonious and beautiful! Dou Yunpeng said: What nonsense are you talking about? Dou Ying pointed to those circles: These are ...... I said: It's Your Majesty's Royal Pen! So Dou Ying was very happy to let Dou Yunpeng read Emperor Cheng's will to everyone. When those people heard this, they all rejoiced and shouted long live. Dou Yunpeng said unhappily: They can go home, but I don't know which home to go to! Dou Yingdao: Your mother died early, your mother's family is also dead, your father and I are also alone in the army, now it seems that only thinking about the future, find you a good daughter-in-law, when the time comes, we will go back to Dengzhou to worship our ancestors, and it can be regarded as a return to our wishes. I arched my hand and said: Now your wish has been granted, but the rebels are not broken, and I am afraid it will be difficult to leave for a while. Dou Yingdao: Now as soon as Gao Qi's kid arrives, we can kill and return to our hometown! The whole camp of men and horses banged on their shields and weapons, and the shouts shook the sky.

That night, I pulled Han Baiwen and Zheng Tianbai over and ran to Liang Jin together, saying that I wanted to have a drink with him. Liang Jin smiled: Your kid Youzhou and his party have changed their tastes, why did they suddenly think of eating wine now? The rebels may be waiting for us to overstep and take the opportunity to enter the city! I said: In today's battle, the rebels must discuss the change of deployment, otherwise how can they deal with the Dou family's army? You didn't see the old boy and his son, what a hero! So rest assured, let's get drunk tonight, as soon as tomorrow afternoon, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, the Gaoqi army will arrive! Liang Jin saw that I was sure, so he said: Okay! It's the Praetorian Guards on duty tonight, so I'll trust them completely! So he took out the wine, and we got together.

Just as we were drinking and talking, the horn rang out outside. Liang Jindao: Then Ma Hongyuan really attacked! It seems that Lao Tzu can't drink more tonight, and he is still a little worried about their situation! Zheng Tianbai said: Why don't you go and see what happens? I pulled his sleeve in a daze and said, "Don't worry! General Ma must go through the north gate when attacking, even if the Black Flag Army does not move, how can Dou Yunpeng be willing to let him make meritorious service alone? What's more, he has just received the position of Wupin Zhonglang General today, and he will definitely not be able to bear it! Liang Jindao: It turns out that the Holy Lord knew that the Black Flag Army would help, but this is the reason, I didn't expect you to really understand what the Holy Lord thinks! I laughed and said, "How do you know?" It's just a guess! So we continued to drink.

Sure enough, when Dou Yunpeng saw the Royal Forest Army attacking, he immediately picked up the guy and followed with fifty horsemen. In the darkness of the night, the camps of the other city gates of the rebels were closed and there was nothing unusual. That Ma Hongyuan ran directly to the rebel camp, and was seen by the sentries on the road, so they played gongs one after another, and Ma Hongyuan heard it: It's not good, it was discovered in advance! At this time, Dou Yunpeng galloped over and said: If you have the courage, you will break through! Talking about it. Ma Hongyuan smiled when he heard it: Good boy, no matter whose family you are, for this sentence, Lao Tzu must go! As he spoke, he beat his horse and went straight to the rebel camp in the distance, which was already full of people and horses.
