For Han Li on the south bank, he could see the confrontation between He Jingzhen and Zhao Yu, but of course he couldn't hear the conversation between the two, but the longer the time dragged on, the more uneasy he felt in his heart.

Ma Jianjun beside him came over and asked softly, "Commander Han, then Zhao Yu won't surrender in battle, right?" ”

Han Li shook his head lightly, and replied weakly, "Probably not." I know Zhao Yu, besides, his family is all in Tanzhou City! ”

While the two were talking, the sound of arrows crossed the air, and Han Li suddenly changed color and looked around on the horse.

Out of the corner of his eye, a Tanzhou soldier strode from the west side with a command flag in his hand, shouting: "Report - Commander Han, the Langzhou army has crossed the river from upstream!" ”

Hearing the content of the shout, several captains along the way who wanted to stop the herald stopped, and at the same time watched with worried and frightened eyes as the tall herald ran all the way to Han Li's horse.

Han Li's body shook, and he said sharply: "Don't panic, come slowly!" ”

The herald knelt on one knee, his body trembling violently, and he said breathlessly: "The enemy quietly crossed the river in Duanjia Village upstream at night, and is now killing here!" And ......"

Han Li frowned, and asked in disbelief, "Duanjia Village? The water is fast and there is no ferry, impossible! And what? ”

The herald looked up at the sound, his body immediately stopped shaking, a sinister smile crossed his face, and he shouted: "And—your life!" With his words, the soldier suddenly bounced up, pounced on the mount under Han Li, slashed at the front leg of the horse, pulled down the shape-bound Han Li with his left hand, and the blade of his right hand circled and rested in front of his neck.

The sudden change made everyone at the scene stunned, and when the people next to him understood that Han Li had been held hostage.

The herald is played by Lei Hui, the deputy general of the Langzhou Army. He also quietly found a few pigs, ran to the upper reaches of Yangliu Bridge not far last night, first by a good water man to pull the rope to dive across the river, and then he held a Tanzhou military uniform and a set of order flags in one hand, and grabbed the rope in the other, easily crossed the river, changed his equipment, and kept potentially nearby. When the Tanzhou army in the south of the bridge began to line up, he quietly approached the queue. Because everyone was staring at the strange formation on the other side, no one noticed him. When the signal of the arrow was issued, Lei Hui immediately ran and began a surprise attack.

Lei Hui ignored the swords and guns that had reached out in front of his face, laughed wildly, and roared: "If you want General Han to live, don't act rashly!" ”

After speaking, Lei Hui's thick left arm easily dragged the chubby Han Li and walked backwards towards the bridge. Without his command, the soldiers behind him immediately dodged the passage that allowed them to pass, and the soldiers in front of him all followed with their guns and knives raised.

Ma Jianjun was so anxious that he was sweating, but he didn't dare to order to kill, these soldiers were all soldiers who had followed Han Li for many years, and they might not listen to him at critical moments.

Soon, Lei Hui dragged Han Li to the south end of the demolished bridge, standing on the bridge deck with one foot and stepping on the bare arch before stopping.

Lei Hui looked at the Tanzhou soldiers in front of him and behind him with disdain, his mouth pursed, and he let out several sharp whistling sounds in succession.

The Langzhou soldiers, who had been observing the rivers on both sides of the bridge, observed this, and immediately separated several people and ran to the shield array, shouting all the way to inform He Jingzhen.

He Jingzhen, who had been listening attentively to the movement here, heard a faint whistling, and saw the soldiers who were screaming at the rush, pointed to the south of the bridge with his left hand, and shouted at Zhao Yu: "Zhao Yu, Han Li has been successfully assassinated by my people!" Within three sounds, you get out of the way, we are still brothers, otherwise we can only complain about the ruthlessness of the battlefield! One—"

While speaking, He Jingzhen's right hand slashed left and right twice, and then pointed forward, the shield array that had been quiet suddenly opened, and a group of soldiers raised their swords and shouted wildly, and rushed up, these are the soldiers who have followed He Jingzhen for many years.

Zhao Yu sighed, turned to the side, turned to the side and shouted to the Tanzhou army behind the camp: "Brothers, we surrender!" Lay down your arms and get out of the way! ”

The Tanzhou army looked at the Langzhou soldiers surrounding them, threw down their weapons one after another, and let the camp gate open.

From the gate of the camp to the north bridgehead, it was only fifty paces away, and in a few breaths, the Langzhou soldiers in the front row had already rushed to the bridgehead.

He Jingzhen was old and strong, holding a knife in his right hand, rushing to the forefront quickly, and repeatedly shouted in his mouth: "I am He Jingzhen!" Han Li has been assassinated, Zhao Yu has surrendered, laid down his weapons, and Rao Er lived! ”

The soldiers on the bridge looked at the frenzy of the Tanzhou army rushing in front of them, then looked at the Tanzhou archers on both sides who were about to shoot arrows, and then looked back at the army south of the bridge that had become very chaotic and had no orders.

Someone took the lead, and naturally there were soldiers to follow, and the soldiers guarding the bridge quickly vacated a bridge deck passage, and He Jingzhen led the Langzhou army to continue to rush forward.

At this time, Lei Hui was in trouble!

The soldiers guarding the bridge in Tanzhou, who were crowded in the middle of the bridge behind him, were shouting in a mess, not knowing what to do. In the midst of the noise, a cold arrow shot silently towards Lei Hui's heart.

Lei Hui seemed to be full of care, but in fact, he was already so nervous that he was sweating, his mind was highly concentrated, and when he heard something strange in his ears, he immediately twisted his body vigilantly, and the cold arrow missed the key point in his heart and pierced it between his ribs.

Lei Hui hissed in pain, his right hand subconsciously forced, the knife slashed at Han Li's neck, his body tilted, and he planted it towards the river.

He Jingzhen, who had already rushed to the front, witnessed all this with his own eyes, his heart was extremely painful, and he shouted loudly: "Go and save Lei Hui!" ”

Turning his head, He Jingzhen stared at the frightened soldiers guarding the bridge in front of him with a pair of blood-red eyes, and roared: "Put down your weapons and surrender on your knees!" Otherwise, there will be no mercy! ”

Shouting in his mouth, He Jingzhen rushed directly into the Tanzhou army along the narrow passage, and with his knife in his hand, he had already cut down several soldiers who had no time to react.

The entourage that followed was naturally not to be left behind, rushed in, and desperately went to protect their boss, and then the Langzhou soldiers also divided their labor, escorting prisoners, vacating the bridge deck, erecting wood, and making every effort to open the way.

At this time, several of Han Li's relatives held Han Li, who was already unconscious, and quickly retreated backwards.

A large number of Langzhou soldiers rushed like crazy, especially Panlong, Zhao Ye and other tribal generals, they originally thought that today was just out to move their muscles, they did not expect that the war would go so smoothly, from the beginning of the disdain to become particularly active, shouting again and again, striding to the front, and rushed into the Tanzhou Qiaonan defenders who were out of control.

As soon as these fierce men exerted their strength, they were already a little flustered, and Tanzhou had no intention of fighting, and their positions continued to loosen and retreat to the south bridgehead.

"Han Li is dead, and Ma Jian Jun has run away!" In the crowd, I don't know who shouted, and the soldiers of the Langzhou Army suddenly opened their minds and shouted in unison.

The shouting was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and some people in the rear of the Tanzhou army had already turned around and fled.

At this time, He Jingzhen, who was covered in blood, shouted again: "It's all Chu State boys, put down your weapons and spare your life!" ”

Several of He Jingzhen's entourage hurried over, all of them escorted him, and shouted in unison: "Put down your arms and surrender!" ”

At this time, the killer Panlong cut down a hesitant Tanzhou soldier with a knife, he wiped the blood splashed all over his face, and roared: "If you don't put down your weapons again, you won't leave a single one!" ”

A Tanzhou soldier facing Panlong was terrified, immediately threw the knife in his hand to the ground, knelt down, and shouted: "I surrender!" I give up! ”

Panic is contagious, and soon, all the Tanzhou soldiers on the bridge deck put down their weapons and surrendered, and the soldiers who stayed away from the bridge deck scattered and ran away.

Panlong kicked a Tanzhou soldier who was blocking his way, and chased the escapees forward, and behind him, the tribal soldiers also rushed forward like a vicious tiger out of the box.

Before the sun set, He Jingzhen's department had completely purged all those wearing Tanzhou military uniforms on Xiangxi Road. That night, the tribal army, which was already in a hurry, requisitioned fishing boats from farmers along the Xiangjiang River and killed them directly under the city of Tanzhou.

At this point, Tanzhou City was really under the siege of the city.
