Under the city of Jiangzhou.

To the north is the 25,000 lieutenant Chi Gong Xiaowei soldiers, and to the southeast is Luo Shixin, who has just broken through the iron barrier, and Su Dingfang's 5,000 tun guards.

The 30,000-strong vanguard army of Zhao attacked Jiangzhou City and approached the city.

Luo Shixin and Su Dingfang rode side by side to watch the battle, and the men and horses behind them opened the formation, making preparations to meet the battle.

Luo Shixin asked Su Dingfang: "Big brother, do you think this Jiangzhou City is good to attack?" ”

After the battle of Tiesha Pass, after Su Dingfang saved Luo Shixin's life, the two became irreversible friends, and they exchanged names and worships in private. Su Dingfang's eldest Luo Shixin was eight years old, so he naturally became his brother.

In response to Luo Shixin's inquiry, Su Dingfang patiently explained: "There are Xiongshan mountains in Jiangzhou, and there are big rivers outside, which is known as the mountains and rivers on the surface, and it is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Li Tang attaches great importance to Jiangzhou, and has always set up the position of chief manager here to control the people of various states, so this battle is not easy to fight. And you see that there is a solution pond near Jiangzhou, and the Lu salt that you and I eat today is all produced by the solution. If Jiangzhou is captured, Li Tang will lose this place of salt production, and the salt in Guanzhong will be nowhere to be obtained, and Li Shimin will probably have to worry about it. ”

Luo Shixin nodded again and again after hearing this: "I see." The eldest brother was taught. ”

Luo Shixin carefully observed the Jiangzhou city, but saw that there were only two gates in the Jiangzhou city, which were opened in the north and south, and there was a corner tower on the east and west city walls. There is also a pagoda in the city, and outside the south gate, there is a pontoon bridge over the Fen River. From the point of view of the terrain, such a city is not easy to attack.

Luo Shixin said: "If you storm this city, I don't think it will be easy, if you can surrender the army without a fight." Otherwise, even if it is captured, many people will be killed and wounded. ”

Su Dingfang said: "Brother is right, I think so too. But Tang Jun won't let us in casually. It seems that this pioneer is not easy to take. ”

The two were talking. Suddenly, the drums of war beat on the city. But when I saw the south city of Jiangzhou, the city gate was opened.

A large banner was picked out, and a large group of cavalry rushed out of the city gate, followed by foot soldiers who trotted with the cavalry all the way. The men and horses stepped across the Fen River pontoon bridge and came to the south bank. Immediately, the Tang army in the city set up a formation in front of the Zhao army, with about 300 cavalry and nearly 1,000 foot soldiers, forming a formation of left and right steps.

Immediately under the flagpole. A man holding a horse lance shouted: "Who is the general of the Zhao army, and dare to fight with me?" ”

Luo Shixin smiled dumbly and pointed to the city gate and said, "What's going on with this guard?" In front of my 200,000 army, he has to go out to fight in his small Jiangzhou City? ”

Su Dingfang said: "The city general will not dare to challenge my 200,000 army, but the main force of His Majesty has not yet arrived, you see that our army is separated from the south and the north, and this city general has the idea of breaking down." The art of war to defend the city must remember to be boring, and the guards must take the initiative to fight from time to time, otherwise the soldiers will be tired and their morale will decline. This city general can be regarded as a very thoughtful person. ”

Luo Shixin said: "I think this city will look down on the two of us, the same north and south people, dare not go to the north to provoke Wei Chi Jingde, but come here to challenge us." ”

Su Dingfang said: "Of course. The name of General Wei Chi's bravery is known to the whole world, and this city general is of course pinched if the persimmon is soft. ”

The other general's general saw that he had been fighting for a long time. And the two young generals in front of him, Zhao Jun, still talked to themselves, and didn't even take him in their eyes. Immediately said angrily: "I am Duan Zhixuan, the guard general of Jiangzhou, which of you is not afraid of death to fight with me?" ”

Su Dingfang was surprised: "It's actually the Jiangzhou guard." Originally, I thought that he would not go out of the city in person, but it seems that this battle will not be easy. ”

Luo Shixin said to Su Dingfang: "Big brother, don't worry, since this guy is so arrogant, you will give me this work, see me take this person, so that I can break through Jiangzhou City in one go!" ”

Su Dingfang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll use it on the side to sweep the formation for you!" ”

After speaking, Su Dingfang stepped forward with a bow.

But listening to Luo Shixin's loud smile, he patted his horse and raised the iron spear to take Duan Zhixuan directly.

Duan Zhixuan saw this general of the Zhao army, and he didn't answer, so he fought with a gun, sneered, and stepped forward to meet the battle with a horse lance.

This section of Zhixuan is a powerful general under Li Shimin, who was killed with a knife and a shot by virtue of his military exploits, and then relied on the merits of the Xuanwu Gate change, and was relied on by Li Shimin as a confidant and entrusted with the important task of the governor of Jiangzhou.

After learning the news of the main force of the Zhao army, he couldn't sleep well for several days, most of the Hedong army was transferred by Li Shimin, and they were all elites, and the rest were either inexperienced recruits or weak veterans, and it was difficult for them to hold Jiangzhou City in front of the Zhao army.

So if you want to defend, you have to be surprising.

He saw that the Zhao army was coming from the south and the north, and there were many troops in the north, and its leading general was Wei Chi Gong, so he did not dare to take offense lightly. And seeing that the Zhao army in Nancheng had few soldiers and horses, and they were two unknown generals, he immediately moved his mind. Because there is the Fen River under the city, it is not so easy for Wei Chigong to rescue.

And he can take the lead and defeat this Zhao army and frustrate the Zhao army's spirit. It is much easier to defend the city in Jiangzhou.

Seeing Luo Shixin coming to kill now, Duan Zhixuan also held his horse to meet him.

The two horses were in the stirrups, and both of them fought on their horses. Duan Zhixuan has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is not afraid of this young general, when he attacked Wang Shichong with Li Shimin. Duan Zhixuan's horse was captured during the battle, and the two enemy generals grabbed his hair bun and wanted to take him away. When crossing the Luoshui, Duan Zhixuan jumped up, pulled the two off the horse, and won the horse gallop back. Hundreds of people chased after them, but none dared to approach.

Therefore, Duan Zhixuan is also famous for his courage in the Tiance Mansion.

But Duan Zhixuan and Luo Shixin fought for more than 20 times, he couldn't help but sweat on his back, and after a few shots, his hands were numb, and he said secretly, this young general really has the courage of ten thousand people, and he was careless.

At that time, Duan Zhixuan couldn't resist Luo Shixin in his heart, so he shook a shot, dragged the horse lance and pulled the horse away. Where is Luo Shixin willing to put it, he catches up with a gun. The two horsemen, one walked and one chased, gradually approaching the front of the Tang army.

Su Dingfang couldn't help but lose color when he saw it: "Brother Luo, be careful, this is their plan to lure the enemy!" ”

Su Dingfang's words had just finished speaking, and at this time, the three partial generals under Duan Zhixuan saw that Duan Zhixuan was unfavorable, and they all sent horses to help in the battle. These three partial generals are all warriors in the Tang Army, and they can be called brave generals with a hundred enemies. One makes two hammers, one makes spears, and one makes broadswords.

I saw that the three of them were outflanking.

Seeing this, Sergeant Zhao shouted together: "General, be careful! ”

But Luo Shixin didn't seem to see it, and rode his horse straight, and at this time, the three generals had already ridden up. When the three of them saw that Zhao Junyong had fallen into the trap, they laughed proudly and shouted on their horses.

"Sure enough, young, it's so easy to fall for the trick of luring the enemy!"

"Zhao Jiang is so arrogant, he has fallen into a trap!"

"Eat Lao Tzu's hammer!"

The four horses overlapped each other, and Luo Shixin suddenly burst out, his legs straddled the saddle, and first shot the short weapon that made the hammer to the general, and the other shot overturned the horse.

Immediately, Luo Shixin's right hand was free, grabbed a sword from the saddle, and threw it in front of him, and a partial general was carrying a gun to collide. The sword pierced the man's skull, and the blade peeked out three feet from behind the general's helmet.

Between breaths, Luo Shixin killed two people in a row, and the cheers of Sergeant Zhao were like thunder, and their morale was uplifted. And the Tang sergeant couldn't move when he saw it, and someone asked in a low voice, who is this person.

Luo Shixin killed two generals in a row, and the last partial general was already frightened when he saw this, and he was weak and powerless when he slashed it. But for some reason, Luo Shixin did not shy away from this knife. Just when everyone was worried about Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin laughed loudly, and after flashing the knife, his five fingers opened, and he directly reached out and grabbed the other party from the horse, and actually lifted the other party from the saddle alive, and finally hit the ground fiercely.

This general, Luo Shixin, was several times worse than falling from his horse, and his body was like falling from a cliff, and he fell heavily to the ground, losing his ability to move, and only convulsed on the ground.

Duan Zhixuan lost three generals in a row, Tang Zhao was shocked, and no one applauded at this time, just stood in place dumbfounded. Duan Zhixuan even said in his heart, he didn't know when he provoked such a evil god, but he was so brave, this time he really capsized in the gutter.

At that moment, Duan Zhixuan just insisted on urging the horse to gallop wildly, wanting to escape back to the city.

But at this moment, only to hear the bowstring collapse, Duan Zhixuan subconsciously wanted to lean down, but it was too late, he only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and then was dragged off the saddle by this huge force.

Of course, Luo Shixin knew that it was Su Dingfang who shot this arrow. At the moment when Duan Zhixuan fell off his horse, Zhao Jun rushed forward with a shout, and the Tang soldiers also woke up like a dream and rushed forward to rob people.

The cavalry on both sides rushed away, both to find Duan Zhixuan.

But at this time, Luo Shixin took the lead and shot into the formation of the Tang soldiers. When the Tang soldiers saw that it was Luo Shixin, they didn't dare to face the battle, and Luo Shixin avoided it as soon as the gun arrived.

Luo Shixin alone killed the Tang soldiers who robbed Duan Zhixuan, and the Zhao army then covered up!

Duan Zhixuan, the defender of Jiangzhou, fell into the hands of Zhao Jun. Tang Jun saw that the lord was about to be captured, and he was already six gods without a master, and Su Dingfang immediately shouted: "Grab the city!" ”

Sergeant Zhao listened to Su Dingfang's order to rush towards the city gate, and shouted: "Duan Zhixuan, the general of the Tang Army, has been captured by our army, so don't surrender quickly!" The Zhao army broke up the Tang army's position outside the city, and the Tang soldiers ran away one after another and ran into the city. But many more were washed down the canal by the Zhao cavalry.

On the city gate, the Tang soldiers also judged the intention of the Zhao army to seize the city, and tried to close the city gate left and right, but the city gate was only half closed, and it couldn't be closed. Inside were all defeated soldiers of the Tang army who wanted to rush to the city and flee for their lives, and there was no one at the city gate to preside over it, and they were suddenly followed by the Zhao army and rushed into the city gate.

Duan Zhixuan, who was captured, saw this scene and couldn't help but close his eyes in disappointment, he never thought that Jiangzhou would fall without even holding out for an hour. (To be continued......)
