The three spies didn't say anything, one of them held the lime bag in his hand, one took out the hidden dart from the purse, and the other took out the flying knife hidden in the boot and threw it at the boy together.

Although the young man was young, he knew these Jianghu methods well, and he flashed the enemy's plot, and the long sword in his hand flashed coldly, and rushed towards the three of them.

The three of them swung their weapons to meet the enemy, but the farther they went, the faster they could catch up with the young man's speed, and before the first one could seal the front with his hand knife, the long sword had already opened a hole in his chest with great speed.

The other two were shocked, and when they pounced together, the young man flew around behind them and gave each a sword.

He killed three people in a row just a matter of raising his hands, his martial arts were superb, and his work was also ruthless, without any drag.

When he turned to look at Shi Wenhu, the knife in Shi Wenhu's hand was already stained with blood, one of the two Mongolian spies fell to the ground, and the other lost the wrist of his left hand, rolling on the ground and wailing.

Shi Wenhu went up and ended the man's life with a knife, and said to the young man: "The great grace of the strong man is unforgettable, in the future, when the strong man uses my Shi Wenhu's place, as long as he goes to Changsha Lai Wengong's mansion to report, the sword mountain is a sea of fire, and Shi will not give up." ”

The young man snorted coldly, threw a yellow paper bag, and said, "This is a knife medicine, and a certain family will leave." ”

"Wait!" Shi Wenhu held his bleeding left arm and said, "Can the strong man do Shi Wenhu another favor and help me go to the west gate, I still have important things to do." ”

The young man nodded, came over and picked up Shi Wenhu, bandaged his arm, and helped him slowly walk towards the West Gate.

At this time, Xiangyang was already in chaos.

The beginning of the chaos was when the Governor's Office sent reinforcements to rescue Xiangyang arrived in Xiangyang.

Originally, the number of southern troops in Xiangyang City has always been weak, and with Fan Wenbin guarding Zaoyang City, thousands of men and horses were all martyred, and the number of southern troops left in Xiangyang City was even smaller. The northern army was in complete superiority and acted without hindrance, while the southern army could only endure for a while and did not dare to cause trouble.

But some time ago, the rescue force of the Song army arrived, and the invincible army led by Li Hu, the commander of Zhenjiang, and the rest of the army, totaling more than 10,000 people, arrived at Xiangyang City.

The arrival of a large Southern army caused the Northern troops stationed in the city to panic. In the end, the most frightened thing was the overt resistance to the enemy army led by Wang Min, who refused to leave Xiangyang and stationed elsewhere in Xiangyang.

Li Hu was warmly received by Zhao Fan at the west gate, and the two sides drank more than a dozen large glasses of wine, and when the wine was hot, Li Hu told the envoy that the arrogance of the northern army had nothing to worry about.

"Lao Tzu is here to kill all these birds in the north!"

He roared so loudly and unscrupulously, completely ignoring the nearby enemy camp.

Zhao Fan hurriedly sent someone to inform Wang Min and told him to go out of the city and take shelter for a while. The invincible army relied on the large camp of the enemy army to set up a village, renovate the weapons and maintain the armor every day, and claimed to exterminate all the troops who did not obey the orders of the commander.

The atmosphere is getting tense day by day.

On 14 February, Wang Min returned to Xiangyang City, and Zhao Fan ordered him to quickly transfer to Yingzhou to replace Zheng Yunming, who was also from the Southern Army, so as to ease the contradiction between the northern and southern armies.

However, Wang Min relied on his close relationship with Zhao Zhizhi, and even went straight to the Yamen of the Zhizhi Envoy, and openly claimed in the face of Zhao Zhizhi, who was holding a concubine, that Yingzhou was hard, and the soldiers of the Northern Army were unwilling to leave Xiangyang. must stay in Xiangyang to garrison, Zhao Fan, who can no longer control these arrogant soldiers, has no choice but to allow them to stay in the city.

At this time, the jackal sent people everywhere to spread rumors that Zhao Zhizhi's envoy wanted to use Li Hudu's southern army to destroy the enemy army, which made the enemy army even more frightened.

On the 20th, Zhao Fan invited the main generals of the Northern and Southern Army to drink and have fun in the government office, in an attempt to calm the tense atmosphere a little. But the commanders of the armies were so drunk that they could not control the soldiers under them.

The enemy army took the opportunity to start a rebellion, they first gathered at the west gate, burned yellow paper to sacrifice to the sky, and swore to the sky to kill the southern army and people in the city first, and then sacrifice the city to the Mongol army together. That night, they set fire to the houses in the east of the city, and patrolled back and forth in full armor, and no one was allowed to put out the fire.

A large number of enemy soldiers took the opportunity to kill many innocent civilians in their homes and plunder.

Shi Wenhu and the young man walked down the street, and people kept fleeing from the east of the city to the west gate. From time to time, there were sergeants wearing armor and holding swords and guns shouting loudly, killing people when they saw them, and snatching them when they saw burdens.

Black smoke filled the sky over the city, and the people were crying and pleading everywhere, and the city of Xiangyang, which had been safe under the heavy invasion of enemy troops for 150 years, became a burning purgatory at this moment.

Along the way, there were enemy soldiers trying to intercept Shi Wenhu and the young man, and the young man wielded a long sword and ruthlessly killed the rebels who stood in the way one by one, and broke through many obstacles all the way to the west gate.

At this time, many rebels had gathered at Simon, and they were frantically plundering the people who had escaped from the city gate. The young man killed several people in a row, but he couldn't stop more and more rebels from surrounding, so he could only help Shi Wenhu and slowly retreat to the city wall.

He suddenly found that the Han River was already full of boats, and the soldiers of the brigade were landing in a steady stream, outflanking the west and south gates.

"It's just this time!" The young man hammered the brick wall fiercely: "The time of the Tartar is too accurate, I can't hold it, Xiangyang can't hold it!" ”

"No!" Shi Wenhu held his hand on the wall and looked at it, and said excitedly: "Xiangyang is safe!" ”

The troops of the brigade that landed from the Han River formed a tight formation and quickly advanced.

Liu Quan, who was at the forefront, led a group of spearmen with their backs to push the people to the left, and the soldiers of the enemy army squeezed to the right side, and the soldiers of the enemy army who dared to resist immediately stabbed them on the spot.

Han Shilang held high the gold-lettered banner of "Jinghu System Envoy Si Zhi Yingtian Governor Zheng" followed closely.

After the warning of the lady of the Lai family, Zheng Yunming discussed with Wei Liaoweng, and quickly returned to Yingzhou with the order of the Governor's Office, urging the Tulong Army to set off for Xiangyang immediately, and on the other hand, sending an urgent letter to Liu Tingmei, Zhang Yu, and Cao Wenqi to report the emergency, ordering them to lead the Zhuangding tenants to Xiangyang to help in the war.

Wei Liaoweng also urged the Huangzhou anti-river naval army to dispatch ships to meet Zheng Yunming's military horses.

The Tulong Army, which had been trained by the rapid march in Xiazhou, was much more stable this time, and the army accelerated its speed, and finally arrived at Xiangyang City smoothly in the early morning of the 21st.

Outside the city, they met Liu Tingmei and Zhang Yu, who had been waiting for a long time.

After Liu Tingmei received Zheng Yunming's letter, he immediately summoned Zhuang Ding, he himself was from Xiangyang, Ding Zhuang was outside the city, and soon gathered thousands of people, waiting on the right bank of Tanxi to wait for Zheng Yunming's arrival.

Zhang Yu selected 100 fast boats and carried 2,000 Dongting fishermen from Xingguo, who were accustomed to coming and going in the wind and waves, and arrived a few hours ahead of Zheng Yunming when they went upstream.

When the enemy army saw the sudden arrival of a large number of southern troops, they all panicked, some people fled in the direction of Tanxi, some people turned around and fled back to the city, but some people continued to loot property without knowing whether they were alive or dead.

An enemy sergeant kicked a child to the ground, and the child's mother cried and rushed forward to protect the child, but the sergeant only looked at the package on the woman's shoulder, and couldn't help but say, picked up the tomahawk in his hand and slashed down at the mother and son.

But at the sound of the bowstring, a pitched silver arrow pierced his skull.

The lady of the Lai family put away the carved bow and rushed over to help the mother and son. Zheng Yunming rode on his war horse and shouted: "The front army is advancing side by side, separating the people from the rebel army, and anyone with weapons in hand should immediately disarm them, and those who resist will be killed!" ”

He slammed his arm forward: "Enter the city!" ”

The whole army erupted in a neat sound of promises, and the Tulong army lined up in a tight rectangular queue and entered Xiangyang City through the west gate.

Liu Quan guarded the city gate and ordered two soldiers to escort more than 100 surrendered rebels out of the city to gather by the Han River. Suddenly, a young man from the city came down with a sword in his hand.

Liu Cheng pointed the spear in his hand and shouted: "Put down the blade immediately, don't resist!" ”

The young man was furious, held the sword in front of his chest, and shouted, "The great man is in the sword, how can he control his life!" ”

Liu Cheng didn't answer, rushed up and stabbed a shot like lightning.

The young man saw that this shot was coming, and he had no time to dodge on the road, so he had to swing his sword to block the spear. The spears and swords intersected, and there was a piercing crash.

Shi Wenhu, who was behind the young man, shouted: "General Liu, don't hurt a good person by mistake, this little brother is on our side!" ”

Liu Cheng pressed the gun down with all his might, and his weapon chief had an advantage in the occasion of competing for strength, but when he saw that the other party was still trying to resist his strength despite his trembling arms, he couldn't help but admire.

But he refused to stop there, shouting: "You let him put down his weapon!" ”

The young man's eyes widened angrily, and he gritted his teeth and said, "But there is a decapitated general, how can there be a horseman who surrenders to the enemy!" ”

Zheng Yunming watched from the sidelines, and suddenly had a sense of love in his heart, urging the horse to come over and say: "This strong man may have a misunderstanding, we are the officers and soldiers who have just rushed from Yingzhou to quell the chaos."

Before he finished speaking, a person suddenly flashed next to him and shouted: "Zhang Weixiao, don't put down your weapon immediately!" ”

When Zheng Yunming turned his head to look, it was Zhang Xu, the leader of the fishermen in Dongting's 100 Danbazhai.

When the young man saw Zhang Bo rushing over, it was as if he had seen a natural enemy. After vigorously vibrating Liu Quan's spear, he returned the sword in the box, jumped down from the road, and ran out of the city gate with a puff of smoke along the wall.

Zheng Yunming asked Zhang Yu in a little surprise: "Is Zhang Weng yours?"

Zhang Yu said with annoyance: "It's the dog, his mother died early, I usually have too many things and I am too lazy to discipline, so he has developed such a stinky temper"

"What do you say?" Zheng Yunming smiled and said: "Don't talk about being young and crazy, life is not a little heroic at his age, how can he be a good man in the future?" ”
