The night was deep, Tang Zhijie looked down at the city, only to see the figure longing, there were about three or four hundred people in the city, some were driving, some were leading donkeys, and some were holding children. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The donkey calls people cry for the child, and the city is really a little more noisy than the bazaar.

Liu Yongtong frowned and said, "General Tang, these people are really a bit weird, it's better to shoot away with arrows." All the soldiers were a little dissatisfied, because the people below were obviously dressed up, and maybe there were their fathers and villagers, even if they were not allowed to enter the city, they would be driven away. Shoot away the arrows, how can you bear it?

Tang Zhijie also shook his head, "It's good to ask clearly." He leaned into the city and asked, "Who are you?" "I'm waiting for a special refuge and ask you to open the city." The man in the city said loudly.

Tang Zhijie has been in Jiangdu for a long time, knows the accent of the locals, and listens to the man's speech, but it is the accent of Yancheng in the east of Jiangdu. Yancheng is in the easternmost part of Jiangdu, close to the sea, how could it run to Yongfu, which is hundreds of miles away?

"Where are you from?" Tang Zhijie asked again.

"I'm from Yancheng, and I came to the West ...... on purpose," another shout came from the noisy crowd. However, the last few words were vague and the city did not hear them clearly.

"Why not in Yancheng, but in Yongfu?" Liu Yongtong shouted.

There was a moment of silence in the city, and the man from before said loudly: "This is Yongfu, isn't it the Iron Kip Fort?" ”

Liu Yongtong laughed and said: "Fool and stupid woman, this is obviously Yongfu City, how can it be what kind of iron kip fort?" What are you doing at Kip Fort? ”

He was full of curiosity at that moment, and he thought, what does it mean to come to the West on purpose? Yancheng and Yongfu are both holy territories, why do they use the word defection?

There was a moment of panic in the city, and the man hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, this is Yongfu City, not Iron Kip Fort." I heard at noon that the king of Xiliang occupies the Iron Kip Fort, and we are in the wrong place! ”

After the man finished speaking, he urged everyone to leave, and the city was in a mess again, and the children cried incessantly, and someone scolded: "How do you lead the way, isn't this sending us to death?" ”

Tang Zhijie was stunned, but Liu Yongtong was furious. He already understood that these people were the people of Yancheng, Jiangdu County, and when he heard that the king of Xiliang was going to attack Jiangdu, he couldn't wait to come and take refuge. He also heard that the Iron Kip Fort had been besieged and attacked by Xiao Buyi, could it be that this piece had been captured?

However, the Huainan army of nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses collapsed, and the city of [***] was also surrendered, and the fall of Tiekip Fort was not impossible.

These people hurried overnight, presumably to take refuge in Xiao Buyi. But the path is not familiar, so it is mistaken for Yongfu City as an iron kip fort. They came to call the city, but when they found that something was wrong, they fled in a hurry.

Thinking about these things, Liu Yongtong was really furious, and commanded his subordinates in a loud voice: "Liu Feng, order troops, I want to go out of the city!" ”

Tang Zhijie asked in surprise, "Yongtong, what are you doing?" ”

"What do you not see?" Liu Yongtong stretched out his hand and pointed, "These traitors have openly defected to Xiao Buyi without waiting for the soldiers to come." If we don't punish them, how can we convince them? ”

"Forget it, let them go." Tang Zhijie said weakly.

Liu Yongtong said angrily: "It's bearable, it's unbearable!" Tang Zhijie, the saint trusts you and me, and now the people in front of him have rebelled, if they are not punished, there will only be more and more people who defect. If the Holy One asks, how do you explain? ”

Tang Zhijie was full of helplessness, "Maybe the saint ......"

Liu Yongtong sneered: "So, if the Holy Lord punishes you, are you ready to bear it on your shoulders?" ”

Tang Zhijie hurriedly said: "The people of Yancheng defected, how can you blame me?" ”

Liu Yongdao: "Since you are not ready to take responsibility, let me chase people." As long as I catch up with them, cut off their heads, and hang them in the city, I promise that no one will want to escape again. The Holy One asked, "Instead of being at fault, you and I will have merit." ”

Slaughtering the fleeing people was undoubtedly a cruel thing, but Tang Zhijie couldn't stop it, and hung his head weakly.

"If you want to kill, just kill a few."

When Tang Zhijie said this, he was very self-reproachful, and his heart was full of uneasiness, but Liu Yongtong sneered, "Fake benevolence and false righteousness, what's the difference between killing a few and killing hundreds?" If you don't like it, it's all on my head, I'm afraid that you will compete with me at that time. ”

"I'm not going to fight for it." Tang Zhijie took a few steps back, his face pale.

Liu Yongtong couldn't laugh anymore, seeing that his subordinates had ordered more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, he ordered the opening of the city under the city, and had already led the team to rush out of Yongfu City. Those people dragged their families and carts, and Liu Yong informed them that these people couldn't run too fast or too far, and even if he waited, he could catch up with them.

But Liu Yongtong couldn't wait, he could even imagine the refreshment brought by the spear piercing the human body.

Some people are afraid of killing, some people are easy to kill, and Liu Yongtong is the latter kind of person.

When the gates creaked, the sound was heard far away. Liu Yongtong quickly got on the horse, holding a spear and shouting: "Chase." The city gates were not closed, and apparently everyone thought that Liu Yongtong would be back soon, and there was no need to do more.

Tang Zhijie leaned against the wall, without any orders, at that moment, he looked indescribably weak.

He did not approve of the massacre, and in fact, no one with any conscience would approve of it. The soldiers in the city may have the children of the people of Yancheng. The people who fled may be their relatives.

But he could only watch his relatives being slaughtered, and there was nothing he could do.

Liu Yongtong didn't think too much about it at all, and the people had disappeared into the darkness and couldn't be seen. But the 'rumbling' sound of the cart was still coming from a distance, and Liu Yongtong was in high spirits and quickly led his troops to chase him several miles away.

But suddenly there was no sound ahead.

It was an extremely strange quiet, even Liu Yongtong was a little surprised. He listened carefully, but could not hear anything. It was dark ahead, and everything I saw was hazy, as if a big car was parked, but the noise, the cry of a child, suddenly disappeared.

Liu Yongtong suddenly felt sweaty in his palms, and he felt that something was wrong.

At this time, there was a sudden loud cry in front of me, the cry of a child. Liu Yongtong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, the situation was obvious, these people had discovered the pursuers, so they held their breath, not wanting the pursuers to find out.

When Liu Yongtong thought of this, he was very proud, and he was happy that he could guess the thoughts of these village women and stupid men. He said, "Go." ”

He rode his horse and carried a gun, and he was only a dozen feet away from the cart in front of him. At this time, he heard another voice. The voice was extremely abrupt, like thunder in the sky, and like the cry of an evil ghost underground. After a moment of trance, Liu Yongtong finally came to his senses, his face couldn't help but turn pale, and his heart was pounding.

That's the sound of an iron rider stomping on the ground!

Listening to the rumbling of hooves, there were hundreds of riders. At that moment, Liu Yongtong almost thought that he was delusional, how could hundreds of cavalry suddenly arrive after late at night?

While he was pondering, the cavalry was a little closer, and one could even feel the wind brought by the iron cavalry rushing by.

The Huainan army has been in disarray, and the horses are turning uneasily. The soldier involuntarily retreated backwards, and for a while he had no claim.

Liu Yongtong asked a ridiculous sentence at this time, "Who are you?" He was still wondering if this was a soldier from Huainan who inadvertently passed by here.

But the sound of iron hooves stirred, and it was a little closer in an instant, and Liu Yongtong already knew that it was definitely not the cavalry of the Huainan Army. The cavalry of the Huainan Army was definitely not so fast.

In the world, there are such powerful cavalry......

When Liu Yongtong thought of this, he couldn't care about the fleeing people anymore, so he hurriedly turned his horse's head and rushed towards Yongfu City. Because he had already thought that in the world, only Xiao Buyi's ironclad cavalry could have such might.

Xiao Buyi actually arrived in Yongfu?

This thought rose, terror filled his body and mind, Liu Yongtong even forgot to resist, forgot to let his subordinates flee for their lives, only knew that he was desperately urging the horse and rushed towards Yongfu City!

Ironclad cavalry, by no means can he contend with it. Although Liu Yongtong is crazy, violent, and bloodthirsty, he still has self-knowledge. At present, the people who are fighting against Xiao Buyi, as long as they hear the words of ironclad cavalry, they are all talking about the tiger and changing color, and he Liu Yongtong is no exception.

The Huainan army finally reacted and turned around, which can be said to be fleeing in despair.

But no matter how they escaped, it was obvious that they couldn't escape the wind. Xiao Buyi urged the horse to grab and run to the front. With a wave of his arm, arrows rained down. The screams were endless, and the Huainan army that fell at the end fell like a wheat wave.

The iron cavalry led by Xiao Buyi is only hundreds, but the Huainan army has thousands of people, and it is even vulnerable. After Xiao Buyi shot his opponent, if he had followed the past, he would have probably urged Ma Ting to grab and killed Liu Yongtong with one shot!

This should be difficult for others, but for Xiao Buyi, it is easy.

He is strong in martial arts, and his horses are far superior to the rest of the horses. Liu Yongfu is the weakest opponent he has played against. If he urged the horse at full speed, Xiao Buyi was confident that he would be able to assassinate Liu Yongtong under the horse before he arrived at the gate of Yongfu City!

But Xiao Buyi finally didn't do this, because his goal was not to kill the generals, but to capture the city.

Without waiting for his orders, the Xiliang infantry in ambush had already followed at full speed, and for several miles, they had the confidence to rush to the city.

The soldiers are not expensive but precious, Li Jing led the troops, and he never relied on numbers to win. The Xiliang infantry he sent to Yongfu City this time can be said to be the most well-trained infantry under Li Jing.

These soldiers, even if there is no war, the iron-blooded training never stops.

Even if they carry hundreds of pounds of armament on their backs, they can travel more than 100 miles without sleep. Although these soldiers can't keep up with the iron cavalry, they can be said to be iron men!

Even if Xiao Buyi saw their tenacity and load, he couldn't help but admire them, the soldiers of this era were put in their own era, and they were afraid that all of them had the physical strength of special forces.

But these were just ordinary soldiers.

Now they only have blades, light armor, hooks, and brave speeds, and they don't let the war horses go too far.

The cavalry opened the way, the infantry followed, they had only one purpose, to follow Liu Yongtong and the defeated Huainan army to rush into the city, this was their only chance to take the city!

Tang Zhijie had already noticed the abnormality in the distance, although it was very dark at night, and he couldn't see far, but the sound of hooves in the distance was different, and the miserable and panicked screams were vaguely heard on the head of the city.

So everyone knew that there was something abnormal on Liu Yongtong's side, but everyone didn't understand what was going on.

"General Tang, what should I do?" The soldier asked urgently.

Tang Zhijie's eyes widened, he just wanted to see the situation clearly, but it was too dark in the distance, so he couldn't see it really. All the people were attracted from afar, but they didn't notice that dozens of black shadows had already turned out of the corner, and then stuck to the city wall, moving in the direction of the city gate like shadows.

"General Tang, close the city gates." A biased general suggested.

Of course, Tang Zhijie understood that the best way was to close the city gates, but how could he do this? Although he has a conflict with Liu Yongtong, Liu Yongtong is obviously in danger, and closing the city gate may kill Liu Yongtong.

If Liu Yongtong died, how would he explain to the saints? He knew that here, although he was the main general, Liu Yongtong was the master of the city, because he was the confidant of the saint.

At that moment, Tang Zhijie's heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't give any orders for a long time. Fighters are often fleeting, and he quickly misses the best opportunity to close the city, when a soldier shouts, "General Liu is back." ”

Tang Zhijie looked up, only to see a few horses coming out of the darkness, and the person at the head was vaguely Liu Yongtong.

But in the distant night, there was dust and smoke billowing in, and it looked like a ghost in the darkness was dancing with its teeth and claws. Tang Zhijie was sweating profusely, and just said: "As soon as General Liu enters the city, he will immediately close the city gate." ”

"But there are still our soldiers outside the city!" Someone complained.

Tang Zhijie snorted, "Do as I say." At that moment, he already understood that they had fallen into the trap of their opponents.

Iron hooves flying, a distance of several miles, can be said to be in a blink of an eye. When Liu Yongtong saw the Yongfu City Gate, he only felt that his heart was excited by the sound of hooves.

Although it was a few miles away, he was already sweating profusely, and his eyes were miserable. Sweat dripped down his forehead to the corners of his eyes, bitter pain, but he didn't even have time to wipe the sweat, he only knew that when he rushed into the city gate, he had hope of survival.

He only stared at the city gate, so he didn't notice that someone at the base of the city wall was approaching the gate quickly, and he reached the gate almost at the same time as him.

At the moment when Liu Yongtong was about to enter the city gate, he had already shouted loudly: "The Xiliang army is coming, close the city gate quickly!" ”

He was obviously extremely selfish, this sentence should have been shouted early, but he was reluctant to give up his surname, but he didn't wake up until he reached the city gate, and it was extremely dangerous at the moment, if he didn't close the city gate, the opponent might take the opportunity to attack the city.

The city gate creaked and was about to close, Liu Yongtong had already dodged into the city, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved, looking back, only to see only a few horsemen following him, and the remaining soldiers and horses were a few feet away.

He shouted, "Guancheng! He couldn't take care of much, and even wanted to dismount and personally help the soldiers to close the city gate, but he only saw a few figures, rushing into the city, and with only one hand raised, several city soldiers who had closed the gate had already covered their throats and fell.

"Do what?" Liu Yongtong was furious and couldn't help urging him to step forward. One of them rolled over, the knife in his hand flashing. The horse neighed and fell to the ground with a 'coo'. It turned out that the man had struck out and had already cut off the horse's leg.

Liu Yongtong was caught off guard and planted off the horse. Fortunately, he was well-trained after all, and he sensed that something was wrong, so he tried his best to roll to the side. I saw the knife flash again, Liu Yongtong was cold on the top of his head, and his helmet had been cut off with a knife.

If he was one step slower, it would be his head that would have been cut off, not a helmet!

When he thought of this, Liu Yongtong was frightened and desperately rolled towards the city, it was a completely subconscious reaction, he just wanted to stay away from danger. The man who drew the sword no longer pursued, and his task was not to kill, but to defend the gates.

The city's defenders shouted, and they finally spotted their opponent, who had sneaked up on the gates. "Go and close the gates!" Tang Zhijie had already discovered the seriousness of the situation and shouted hoarsely. In the cave of the city gate, there were originally dozens of elite soldiers, after all, it didn't take too many people to close the city gate, but Liu Yongtong and several people rushed too fiercely, and they all avoided it for a while, just afraid of being killed by Liu Yongtong. At this time, when they saw that it was not good, they swarmed up, desperately trying to close the city gate.

The dozens of warriors who entered the city were divided into two groups, a group of more than a dozen people, scattered and scattered, resisting the city soldiers who came over to kill them, and the other dozen or so people had a very deep understanding of the structure of the city gate. They drew their knives and rushed behind the gates to wreak havoc.

Any city gate is obviously designed to resist the outside, but the interior is simple in structure, which can be said to be the weakness of the city gate, after all, the city gate is used to resist external attacks. More than a dozen warriors started to do it, and it didn't take a moment to make the city gate ruined. They used everything possible to hold the gates of the city, so that even if the opponent killed them, they could not resist them, and the soldiers of the city could not close the gates for the time being.

Compared to the high effect of the warriors, the soldiers defending the city were obviously much slower.

Tang Zhijie had personally descended from the city tower and urged the city soldiers to drive out these infiltrators.

There were only a few dozen people who came to destroy the city gates, and after a round of bows and arrows, seven or eight people had fallen, as long as Tang Zhijie was given more effort, he believed that he would be able to expel these people from the city cave.

It's just a pity that he doesn't have any more time.

The cavalry of the Huainan army has swarmed into the city gate at this time, the city gate hole feather arrows are like locusts, the soldiers who entered the city first have been shot into hedgehogs by random arrows, screaming again and again, for a time, the city gate hole has become hell.

The soldiers who entered the city never dreamed of it, they thought that entering the city was safe, and they would die if they thought of entering the city. Tang Zhijie's face turned pale, but he didn't hesitate anymore, and shouted angrily: "Shoot." ”

At this time, the city soldiers had already swarmed in, and set up a defensive camp in the three layers outside the city cave. Shieldmen, crossbowmen, and axemen are all eyeing each other.

But in a hurry, these people's defense did not leave half a gap for the Huainan army outside the city.

Tang Zhijie knew that he had made another mistake, but he had already ridden the tiger. In a hurry, he didn't know if there were ironclad cavalry in the cavalry, and even if he didn't, he couldn't let the cavalry rush over, in that case, the formation would be chaotic, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry would then rush in, what resistance would he take?

went to the defense of the city, and he had no capital to compete with the Western Liang army at all. Even if he killed by mistake, there was nothing he could do. The world is often so ridiculous, just now he is still uneasy about the slaughter of the people, but now, he wants to bury the lives of his soldiers with his own hands.

Another round of long arrows was fired, and another group of cavalry fell.

All of them were blind to death, they did not fall under the iron cavalry of the Western Liang army, but died at the hands of their own people. The archers' hands were a little weak, but the corpses piled up in the city gate hole, blocking the passage, and the speed of the cavalry finally slowed down.

Before Tang Zhijie could breathe a sigh of relief, the soldiers at the head of the city were already frightened and shouted: "General Tang, there are soldiers coming!" Tang Zhijie's heart was cold, and he looked through the city gate, only to see the darkness in the distance, with shadows and shadows, and countless shadows poured out of the darkness, dense as ants.

Tang Zhijie's voice had already burst out, "Liu Yongtong, lead people to defend the city." Shoot the arrows! ”

Liu Yongtong withdrew a long way to save his life, and at this time, he had to be full, walked quickly to the city, raised his eyes, and couldn't help but take a breath. Tang Zhijie saw only a part, he climbed to the top of the city and took a look, only to find that the kung fu of this meeting was full of the Western Liang army!

Xiao Buyi didn't rush in with the cavalry, he had already reined in his horse, and he knew that if he rushed in at this time, he would definitely suffer heavy casualties. Without taking advantage of the land, his ironclad cavalry did not have any advantage. Now, it's time to tackle tough problems. The Xiliang iron cavalry stopped, but the infantry spilled over, and quickly killed the city and poured into the city cave.

The Huainan cavalry, who had no time to enter the city, already knew that it was not good, and if they did not enter the city again, they scattered and fled for their lives. The Western Liang army ignored the deserters and began a full-scale assault on Yongfu City.

One of the biggest weaknesses of Yongfu City at the moment is, of course, the city gates wide open. But the biggest weakness is also extremely dangerous, that is, Tang Zhijie is heavily guarded at the city gate, and it is not easy to break through this defense.

Countless Xiliang troops used simple lassoes to climb the city wall, but the Xiliang warriors entered from the city gate hole.

The city gate cave is not spacious, and can only accommodate more than a dozen people to fight side by side, which brings great terrain to Tang Zhijie. His strategy has worked so far, and the Western Liang army is unable to deploy an attack in formation, and relies more on individual soldiers, which has reduced a lot of power.

Every time they advanced, the Western Liang army had to pay a great price, but before they could push out Zhangxu, they were repelled by the fierce attack of the Huainan army. The Huainan Army relied on the terrain and the large number of people to hold its position. After several tug-of-wars, the Western Liang army still did not attack Yongfu City.

Xiao Buyi raised his eyebrows, and he rode forward and came to the city.

At this time, arrows rained down in front of the city, but in Xiao Buyi's eyes, it was nothing.

Liu Yongtong saw that the city gate was guarded, and his heart was a little settled, but Xiao Buyi looked up at the past and said loudly: "Liu Yongtong, quickly retreat, this king will spare you from dying!" ”

Liu Yongtong wanted to laugh out loud, but for some reason, a chill rose in his heart. He was hesitating, but Xiao Buyi said in a long voice: "The king of Xiliang is here, the warriors of the eastern capital, victory or defeat is here." Those who enter the city first, those who kill Liu Yongtong, are promoted to three levels and rewarded with 100 taels of gold. ”

Xiao Buyi turned his face faster than turning a book, and Liu Yongtong was already falling into the abyss. Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, the morale of the Xiliang army was slightly reduced, listening to the encouragement of the king of Xiliang, the morale was greatly boosted for a while, and he struggled to climb.

Xiao Buyi was thinking about whether to go to the city to fight, and one person had already dragged the rope and climbed to the top of the city. One person entered the city, the Xiliang army was like a rainbow in an instant, the shouts shook the four fields, and more soldiers turned into the city, and the defenders of the city had started a bloody battle to the death!
