Chapter 304: Thinking about it

The two armies rushed to attack the city. Zhao Xingjiang, Zhao Xinghe has been selling officials over the years, and each has cultivated its own potential. Most of the local officials are their minions, and those who come up by bribery, slack, and flattery have no ability at all, how can they be able to go into battle! Moreover, they are promoted and rich all day long, and they do not train at all. Weapons and suits are rusty and rotten in the arsenal, so can they still be used? Therefore, when Zhao Song killed, some of them opened and closed the city, some abandoned the pass and connected, and some slipped away first when they heard the wind. In this way, Zhao Song's soldiers and horses drove straight into the country smoothly. Zhao Song's soldiers committed adultery and burned to death, doing all kinds of evil. This time the people of Li suffered hardship, their wives were separated, they fled in all directions, their families were ruined, and their liver and intestines were broken.

At this time, Li Zikang under Chen Xiacheng in Tongguan asked, "Girl, who called you to come into battle?"

"Marshal, Lord Shangshu told me to go out and ask the marshal to return to the rear."

"Girl, the thief will be powerful, you have to be careful!"

Ge Mingxia agreed and came to the front of the formation. He Yuantuo saw a female general on the opposite side: eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a helmet and armor, radiant, dressed extraordinarily, face like peach blossoms, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, nose like hanging gall, cherry mouth, sit down peach blossom horse, embroidered city knife in hand. Ha Yuantuo looked at it and laughed wildly: "Kill the vanguard, defeat the marshal, I don't want to kill a yellow-haired girl!" Death by name!"

"Ge Mingxia. What's your name?"

"Harinto."

After that, he raised his knife and killed the girl in one place. Ha Yuantuo had no one in his eyes, his eyes were empty, and he didn't take the girl to heart. As soon as you are proud, this thing is a tragedy. The girl came with a horse and three knives, and the first knife immediately slashed the top of the head. Ha Yuantuo knocked it out with a knife, and the girl came to chop vegetables and melons again, Ha Yuantuo lowered his head and flashed over. But the girl didn't throw the knife, and when she flipped her wrist, the knife returned. As soon as this kid looked up, click! The head was cut off, plop! Dead bodies fall to the ground.

Zhou Anwu, the lord of Shangshu in the back formation, and Marshal Li Zikang saw it, and couldn't help but cheer repeatedly. The girl crossed her knife and shouted, "Wait a minute, carry back the dead body of Ha Yuantuo." Let you be the leader and come out to meet you!"

It's not a lot of work. Three artillery shots were heard in the enemy camp. Immediately afterwards, I saw the opposite flag waving, the trumpet fluttering, and the swords and guns raised. A large number of generals poured out. A war horse bore the brunt of the blow. Leaping in. The person who came was Zhao Song. This kid led his soldiers to seize the city. It has been going well, so it has become more and more rampant, he thought that he would pass Tongguan and hit the capital. Easy as pie.

When he came to Tongguan to set up camp, Ha Yuantuo begged for an order to go out and won two battles in a row, and he was even more forgetful. Unexpectedly, the soldiers had just finished reporting that Ha Yuantuo had defeated Li Zikang, Marshal of Tongguan, and it didn't take much effort to report that Ha Yuantuo was cut off by a female general. This kid couldn't help but gasp: Oh, Dahua actually has such a warrior with amazing martial arts, and he is also a woman? I want to see! Thinking of this, I personally stepped out.

He came to the front of the formation and looked at him. The two reported their names, Zhao Song thought to himself; When I was in the capital, I heard that Ge Mingxia, the daughter of the old puppet Ge Taigu, was strong in martial arts and didn't want to meet here! Immediately he shouted, "Girl, your father is against me, and you have killed my governor, Ha Yuantuo." How can I give up with you!"

Ge Mingxia scolded: "Zhao Song! You have killed innocents and destroyed all living beings, and you are not even as good as beasts. Don't cut off your dog's head. How can I get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

The two urged the horses and fought with knives. Ge Mingxia's knife is lightweight, has a good steel mouth, a thick back, and a thin blade. She has been highly transmitted, and her knife skills are indeed mysterious. Zhao Song had a hard time winning, thought. My dignified Emperor Dayan, if he can't defeat a woman, won't he be laughed at by his generals? I'd better win the defeat! So, the horse faked defeat.

Yang Xuhui gave his horse to Zhao Song, who had been practicing. Ge Mingxia didn't know the reason, and chased after the horse. Zhao Song looked back and saw that the peach blossom horse was about to catch up, and hit the horse's ass three times with the back of the knife. His five-tailed foal, when he was in the martial arts field, was bitten off by Li Mingyuan's pink dragon foal; When he was at the samurai's house, he was bitten off two more, and now there is only one tail left. This tail brushed and flicked out, snap! It hit the head of Ge Mingxia's peach blossom horse, and blinded her horse. Peach Blossom Horse screamed, turned his head sideways, and walked away.

Zhao Song thought to himself: I can't let the girl run away. The horse was injured, and she couldn't run far. If I can catch her alive, I will lift her alive, catch her back, hold her in my arms and laugh and laugh, the old puppet Ge Taigu knows about this, and he will be angry! Thinking of this, he shouted and ordered the soldiers in the rear to attack Tongguan, and chased Ge Mingxia single-handedly.

Ge Mingxia reined in the horse, the horse didn't obey the call, and the peach blossom horse ran violently for a while, and then gradually slowed down. Zhao Song urged the five-tailed foal, shouting while chasing: "Ge Mingxia, you can't run!"

The Peach Blossom Horse really can't run, and it is said that it is injured, even if it is not injured, it can't outrun the five-tailed foal! Ge Mingxia knew that her horse could no longer run, so she had to circle the horse and fight Zhao Song to the death.

Zhao Song reined in the horse and said, "Girl, do you have anything to say this time?" You look like a flower, promise to marry me for life. If you agree, not only will you be spared, but your parents will also be left behind when you enter Beijing!"

Ge Mingxia couldn't wait to chop him up with a knife, and scolded: "You beast, look at the knife!" Zhao Song waved his knife away, and the two were killed in one place. This time, Ge Mingxia couldn't stand it. Because the horse does not obey the call, the legs and feet are too slow, so the more they kill, the more difficult it becomes. Zhao Song became more and more courageous. Ge Mingxia was panting, her arms were sore, she only had the ability to parry, she had no power to fight back, and her life was difficult to protect. At this moment, I suddenly heard a shout: "Zhao Songxiu is going to be rampant, Meng Ranhao is also here!"

Ge Mingxia vs. Zhao Song, when it was critical, Meng Ranhao came. How did he get here? It turned out that he was recuperating in Qianjue Mountain, and he has recovered in recent days. Knowing that Zhao Songxing's army rebelled, he was even more worried about Li Mingyuan and the heroes of Qianjue Mountain, so he went down the mountain with Cai Wenlong and Ji Wenhu and ran to Wujiazhai.

Along the way, they saw a war in chaos, people fleeing, houses collapsing, and wives being separated. He felt pain and hatred and resentment in his heart, and he was distressed that the people were suffering and suffering, and he was annoyed that Zhao Song was disturbing the country and harming the people. He knew that Tongguan was the throat road to the capital, and if Tongguan was lost, the capital would be difficult to protect. He wanted to take a look at Tongguan, if Zhao Song hadn't beaten Tongguan yet. He entered Tongguan as a strategist, and then sent someone to move troops, so that Li Mingyuan could come, and if Zhao Song had already beaten Tongguan, he would quickly move Li Mingyuan.

Between him, Cai Wenlong and Ji Wenhu walking, he saw a man and a woman fighting on horseback, and the woman was worried about her life. He urged him to take a look, and it turned out that one was Zhao Song, and the other was Ge Mingxia, the daughter of Ge Taigu. So, he shouted: "Zhao Songxiu wants to be rampant." Meng Ranhao is here!"

Zhao Song heard a shout. I couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly thought: Why is he here? Ge Mingxia was exhausted, so she took the opportunity to take the horse and retreat aside. Zhao Song took a look at the knife: Meng Ranhao was dressed as a Taoist priest. A sword under his side. The bosom is bulging. I don't know what I'm carrying. shouted: "Meng Ranhao, what are you doing here?"

"I'll clean up your bastard! You deceived the king and disrupted the palace, formed a party for personal gain, raised troops and rebelled, and ruined the lives of people. You don't do anything in human skin. It's not even as good as a beast!"

Zhao Song was furious and swung his knife at Meng Ranhao. Meng Ranhao saw that he was fierce, and hurriedly led the horse to dodge, took out a small wine jug from his arms, shook his hand, and shouted: "With the magic weapon!" Zhao Song didn't cut it with a knife, and as soon as he turned around, the small wine jug snapped and hit the kid in the face. The jug was of brass, and it bleed his nose, the corners of his mouth, his eyes waterlogged, and his ears buzzed.

This kid screamed in pain, thinking: What magic weapon is so powerful? No wonder my father said that Meng Ranhao was not a mortal! He didn't dare to fight again, so he turned his horse and ran. When Meng Ranhao saw it, he laughed loudly.

Just now, Cai Wenlong and Ji Wenhu were just about to step forward to face Zhao Song, but they didn't expect Meng Ranhao to throw the wine jug out of the box all of a sudden, and they fought so fast and accurately, they couldn't help but face each other, hehe, hehe.

Ge Mingxia thought to herself: Uncle Meng is really interesting, he beat Zhao Song away with a wine jug! She couldn't hold back her joy. Cai Wenlong dismounted, picked up the wine jug and saw that it was not broken, wiped it and handed it to Meng Ranhao. Ge Mingxia dismounted and greeted Meng Ranhao: "Thank you uncle for saving your life." ”

Meng Ranhao picked up the wine jug and said, "Hurry up." Why did you get into a fight with him here?"

Ge Mingxia got up and told the story again. Meng Ranhao said: "Let's go, let's go to Tongguan together." ”

The four men rode to Tongguan. After a while, I saw Tongguan from afar. Take a closer look, the gate of Tongguan is closed, and there are chaotic troops everywhere outside the city. Meng Ranhao said: "We can't get in, let's move Li Mingyuan quickly." With that, the four of them went to Wujiazhai.

Zhou Anwu, the lord of Shangshu, saw that Zhao Song was chasing Ge Mingxia, so he wanted to urge the horse to chase Zhao Song. However, the rebels who rushed up will stop them. The enemy will be fierce in the future, and Li Zikang and Zhou Anwu will resist for a while. Fearing that the enemy army would attack Tongguan, he collected his troops and returned to the city.

Zhou Anwu was thinking about Ge Mingxia, he couldn't eat, he couldn't drink, he sighed for a long time, and thought, if Ge Mingxia has three longs and two shorts, what face do I have to go to see Ge Taigu? Li Zikang persuaded him again and again, and Lord Shangshu said: "Marshal, this Tongguan is the main road, if it is lost, I am afraid that the capital will be difficult to protect." Therefore, Banzai sent this official and Miss Ge to help. I really didn't expect that Miss was defeated by Zhao Song, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead. The enemy army is fierce and has a large number of generals. Now we should only stick to the dangerous ground, not go to war. Be sure to choose reliable generals and take turns to patrol day and night. ”

Li Zikang said: "Please rest assured. ”

Then arrange Jiang Sangzhen, Zhou Shouxin, Pan Jixun, and Cao Gang, four generals, to patrol Gaoguan day and night. For three days, the enemy came to fight. The defenders could not come out, and the rebel army attacked the city several times, but they were all repulsed.

In the evening, Marshal Li Zikang said to Lord Shangshu: "Now there is a shortage of grain and grass in Guanzhong. As the saying goes: grain is the gall, and soldiers are the might. I have already received a discount, but to this day, I have not brought in grain and grass. That Zhao Xingjiang has always been at odds with me, blind, please think of a way as soon as possible!"

Zhou Anwu said: "Wait for the official to write a report, please pass on the decree and send someone to deliver food." ”

"The sooner the better!"

Zhou Anwu immediately wrote down a report and sent someone to the capital. It turned out that Zhao Xingjiang was deducted from the last salary. This time, when Li Zikang wrote the report, he said that the grain and grass were insufficient last time, and he asked for the grain and grass again. Zhao Xingjiang read the report, laughed twice, and thought: This time, half a moon of grain and grass, I will drag you for five days. Give you a full number of ten days, and see what else you say? These five days are mine. Hmph, when I was an official for so many years, I still don't understand, this is called carrying a heavy back! So, the grain and grass have come so far.

The officials and generals in the city, how do they know the knowledge here? They didn't see the grain and grass coming, and they panicked! On the evening of the fourth day, Zhou Anwu and Li Zikang finished inspecting the city and returned to the Shuaifu to discuss the military situation. Not much, someone came to report: "Chitose, marshal." Big things are not good!"

"What's the alarm?"

"The enemy soldiers secretly climbed the city, and some soldiers found it and reported it to Cao Gang. Cao Gang personally killed General Jiang Sangzhen, betrayed Gaoguan with his henchmen, and the enemy soldiers entered the city!"

When Li Zikang heard the news, he shouted: "Oh, Cao Gang thief!" He, he, he ruined our soldiers and fathers in Tongguan City!" His heart was like a knife, and he resented that he had mistaken Cao Gang. Now. It's too late to regret it. He and Zhou Anwu were neatly dressed, went out of the house and got on their horses, carrying swords and guns, and led their troops to fight the enemy.

Li Zikang led his troops out of the house not far away. I saw that the enemy army was killing indiscriminately. It doesn't matter which officers and soldiers are. Which is the people, it is really murderous without blinking. Li Zikang was furious, and the fire burned his chest. Turning his head sharply, he saw Cao Gang leading the enemy soldiers and enemy generals to the marshal's mansion to kill. Li Zikang urged the horse to rush forward, holding a Yanling knife in his hand, and Ben Cao just cut it. When Cao Gang saw the marshal, he scared off the three souls, and just wanted to turn around and escape, but the marshal's big knife fell, it was really a gourd and two lotus roots, and this kid died at that time.

Zhou Anwu shouted: "All the soldiers, we will swear to live and die with Tongguan!" Shouting, the prancing horse shook its spear and killed the enemy. The soldiers will shout: "Swear to live and die with Tongguan!" One by one, they fought and fought with the enemy.

There was chaos in Tongguan City, swords and guns collided, sparks burst out, and there were killing sounds everywhere. The enemy army is fierce, and the defenders are desperate, only to kill the sky and the earth, the stars are unknown, the dead bodies are everywhere, and the gods and ghosts are frightened. The defenders died an unknown number of deaths, and the enemy soldiers died countless more. Zhou Anwu shook the big gun in his hand, picking up the east and west, as brave as Huang Zhong. He and Li Zikang led the generals to kill from the third watch to dawn, and from dawn to noon. The more the defenders killed, the fewer they killed, and the enemy troops continued to pour into the pass, and more and more people came. Zhou Anwu, a loyal minister, was so tired that he vomited blood in the saddle.

He, Li Zikang, Zhou Shouxin, Pan Jixun and all the generals were outnumbered, and they all sacrificed their lives for the country and the people. Zhao Song occupied Tongguan City, boasted, cleaned the battlefield, and prepared to send troops to the capital.

At this time, Li Mingyuan led an army of 50,000 and rushed to Tongguan. As they went, spies came to report it. There was a rebel army blocking the way. This rebellious army was sent by Zhao Song to Wujiazhai to reinforce the Yinyang Dao and the Iron Arm Bear, 30,000 people, Marshal Wu Wenheng, and the vanguard Tie Tianzhu. Deputy pioneer Feng Tianbi. Wu Wenheng set up camp here yesterday. Early this morning, a spy came to report: Li Mingyuan led a large army and came in the direction of Tongguan. Wu Wenheng knew that the situation of the army had changed, so he ordered the spies to probe again, and was busy discussing with the generals how to meet the battle.

Now, Li Mingyuan led his troops to Tongguan and happened to meet them. Li Mingyuan and Zhuge Ying chose auspicious land to set up camp, and had just been promoted to sit in the marshal tent, when a soldier came to report, and the enemy's vanguard Tie Tianzhu came to fight. Li Mingyuan thought for a moment and said to Zhuge Ying: "Sir, I think we should persuade this enemy army first?" If they don't listen, we'll do it again. How is it? ”

"The marshal has a point."

Li Mingyuan gave an order. The sound of artillery shook the sky, the horns sounded in unison, and a large group of soldiers and horses poured out of the camp gate. Li Mingyuan urged the pink dragon horse to come to the front of the formation, only to see the opposite general. Bronze helmet, bronze armor, blue indigo face, cinnabar eyebrows, leopard eyes, garlic nose, thick lips in the square mouth, beard like steel needles, an apricot yellow war horse in the crotch, and a Spring and Autumn broadsword in his hand. Li Mingyuan looked at it and shouted, "Who are you?"

"Marshal Wu has the vanguard Iron Sky Pillar under his account. Come and put your name to death! ”

"I am the traitor Zhao Song, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, Li Mingyuan. Tie Tianzhu, that Zhao Song ruined the souls, hurt the heavens and harmed reason, committed many crimes, and was heinous. How can you join him? Listen to my kind words and persuasion, you wait for the speed down, if not, I am afraid that it will be difficult to end! ”

"Li Mingyuan, don't talk more, with a knife!"

Li Mingyuan was furious, shaking the gun and knocking the knife, swishing, brushing, brushing, three shots, three shots on the left, three shots on the right, three shots on the right, three shots on the yin, three shots on the yang, like a lion shaking his head, a tiger shaking might, a big python out of the hole, a dragon in the sky, fluttering on the edges, fast as a meteor, poofing a shot, picking up the Tie Tianzhu.

Tie Tianzhu's daughter, Tie Yuhuan, raised her knife to urge the pink horse and jumped out of the back. Taking advantage of this, a soldier stepped forward and snatched back Tie Tianzhu's body. Tie Yuhuan came to the front of the battle and restrained the war horse and scolded Li Mingyuan. Li Mingyuan asked the girl's name and surname, and shouted: "Tie Yuhuan, Ben Shuai repeatedly persuaded your father, but he didn't listen." Therefore, Ben Shuai stabbed him. ”

Tie Yuhuan was on the fire, where could he hear it, urging the horse to shout: "Knife!" As soon as Li Mingyuan led the horse to dodge, he heard someone shouting behind him: "Brother withdraw from the formation." Good men don't fight with women, give her to me!"

Li Mingyuan looked back and saw that it was Zhang Xin. I saw him carrying two actinium whips in his hand, and running into battle. Li Mingyuan thought to himself: Brother, what are you talking about? Don't let me fight her, but you come to fight her, aren't you a good person!

Li Mingyuan didn't have much to say before the battle, so he had to circle his horse and return to the battle. Zhang Xin raised his whip and shouted: "Girl, what's your name?"

"Iron Jade Ring. You're famous!"

"Tie Yuhuan, your father is not unjust when he died. There is a place for life, there is a place for death, it is time to die! My name is Zhang Xin, and I am known as Flying on the Grass. I'm also a hero in the Thousand Peerless Mountains, but I'm still a single! Your father is also dead, so why don't you surrender to Qianjue Mountain and count your lifelong promise to me!"

When the girl heard this, her face turned red, she raised the embroidery knife, and ran to Zhang Xin to cut it. Zhang Xin was not lazy, and whipped to parry. The two of them immediately stepped down and fought. Zhang Xin was fighting, and he had a plan. He circled around the pink war horse with an iron jade ring, turning the girl dizzy. Tie Yuhuan secretly scolded in his heart: This kid doesn't speak human words, he doesn't fight seriously, he is so bad! At this time, Zhang Xin went around to the girl's horse, and broke the horse's hind legs with a whip, and the pink horse fell down with a thud. The girl was about to fly away, but she slowed down a little and fell off her horse. (To be continued......)
