Chapter 698: The Legendary Deputy Sect Master
After Zongyun's rebels opened the city gate, the only few remaining Mongolian guards, led the remnants, fled to the north gate, and the rebels were in hot pursuit, so they had to set fire to the houses along the way to block the pursuit of the rebels.
Although they still show ruthlessness and decisiveness, it is a pity that this way has shown that they are at the end of the road, and they are going to give up Luoyang completely!
The rebels adhered to Zong Yun's purpose of rebellion, and their task was not to attack cities and seize land, but to drive out the Mongol barbarians.
They did not have enough strength to occupy and rule these territories, so they intentionally or unintentionally let the Southern Song Dynasty court pick up the cheap, in fact, the Southern Song Dynasty court to take over these places, although it constantly compressed the living space of the righteous army, but at the same time, it also reduced the burden of the righteous army, and was able to force the righteous army to continue to go north!
In Zong Yun's words, they fought not to occupy territory, but to drive away or even kill the Mongols!
They can only keep moving forward without turning back, because behind them is the army of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Southern Song court, on the one hand, happily accepts the territory they have captured, and on the other hand, it declares the world, and regards the righteous army as a thief!
In any case, the brothers of the rebel army did not think so much, they just followed the purpose of Zongyun's uprising, drove these Mongols out of the Great Wall, drove them back to the depths of the steppe in the north, and if they did not leave, they would all be killed there!
In the face of the overwhelming rebel army, the Mongol defenders were defeated on all fronts, and the Han army, which was dominated by the Semu people and the Han'er in the north, would help the Mongols resist to some extent, but the new annexed army was frightened and surrendered one after another.
Because the whole world knows that Zong Yun's rebel army never accepts those new annexed troops who surrendered to the Mongols, and in the war, the rebels will never be merciful to those traitors who surrender to the Mongols!
This is also why when Guo Dongjia negotiated the conditions with Zong Yun, Zong Yun did not give him any choice, either die immediately, or help me die after the battle!
In view of this, the new annexed army naturally wanted to escape, they did not resist to the death, even if they fled with the Mongols, they would be dealt with by the Mongols with military law, and the new annexed army hated them to the core, and escape became the only choice.
In fact, Guo Dongjia at this time took his soldiers and horses and fled in the direction of the West City Gate.
The main target of the righteous army is the Mongolian soldiers, after all, the difference in the number of the two sides is too big, if it is not for Luoyang into a pot of porridge, how can the righteous army take advantage of the victory to pursue, at this time if the troops are divided to cover and kill Guo Dongjia, they can only pick the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.
Liu Hanchao led the rebel army to pursue from the south gate to the north, covering up and killing along the way, and the Mongolian soldiers suffered countless casualties!
Seeing this, the guards were even more horrified, and let people ride fast horses and take the first step to open the north city gate, otherwise the remnants of the army would be trapped and die in Luoyang!
The characteristic of the Mongolian army is the slaughter of the city, and the rebels who bumped into Zong Yun this time, if they can't get out, they are afraid that they will be slaughtered by the rebels once!
The herald led hundreds of guards, and hurried to the north gate, but saw that the north gate was dead silent!
Originally, the south city gate was in an emergency, and the other city gates were all supporting, and it was natural to be a little colder, but at this time, it was too calm!
The guards are also uneasy, after all, behind the butt is the rest of Mongolia, although it has not been counted, but this time there are heavy casualties, plus some lost and fleeing, scattered, even if the number is still there, it can't become any climate.
What's more, there are also rebels who are holding on to it, intending to kill them all in Luoyang City in one go!
The herald came to the north gate, and before he could speak, the head of the city shot an arrow that pierced his throat!
"It's not good, the city gate has been taken away!"
The guards were horrified and hurriedly turned around, but a person came out of the city head of the north city gate, wearing a dark Taoist robe, quite empty when the city was planned, and the demeanor of Zhuge Kongming who burned incense and stroked the qin!
"That's... What kind of person is that!"
The Mongolian guards turned their heads to see this scene, and couldn't help but be surprised and confused, and one of the scouts immediately exclaimed, "Yes... It's him, the leader of the thief army, Zhang Benling!"
"How is it possible! Could it be that he alone killed all the hundreds of brothers at the North City Gate?
"Go back and report to a thousand households!"
Many of the guards did not dare to stay longer, and immediately rushed back, halfway through, the rest of Mongolia had already caught up, and it was unbelievable to hear such a strange thing.
The guards led the scattered team to the north city gate, but they saw an even more surprising scene, the north city gate was actually opened!
Zhang Benling, the leader of the thief army, was still standing at the head of the city lightly, as if he was about to ascend to immortal in the next moment!
"He's playing tricks! Let's rush over!"
"No! Since he can appear here, it means that he has already lurked in the city and is fully prepared, and he may be an ambush outside the city, and he will die if he goes out!"
"Fool! If we don't go out, we'll die!"
"You're stupid! Straighten out the team, turn around and fight, maybe there will be a chance to turn defeat into victory, I didn't agree to retreat earlier, you cowardly fools!"
"Rectify the team, open your eyes and take a good look, will these thieves give you time to rectify the team, if you don't want to die, follow me out!"
The generals talked a lot, and when they heard the end, they couldn't help but glance at the rear army, this crowd was dark, and they couldn't see the situation of the chasing soldiers behind, they only knew that the rear army had begun to surge forward, presumably the chasing soldiers had also arrived under the city and began to cover up the rear army!
"Hurry up, if you don't rush, it's too late!"
"Yes, they have caught up with the rear army, and they will definitely be able to meet the leader of the city, and the morale of the thief army will be greatly boosted, and if we don't leave, we will all die here!"
"Didn't the Han people say that if you stay in the green mountains, aren't you afraid that there will be no firewood, let's go quickly!"
"Let's just let the damn Han dog be harmed like this, you still have a Han proverb, I'll kill you traitor first!"
"When is it, there is still infighting, rush out for me!"
This is the fatality of the leaderless dragons, even at the most critical moment, they still do not obey anyone, and they let themselves fall into the place of mortality more and more!
Just as these remnants of Mongolia were about to rush out together, a slender figure appeared at the head of the city, although this person was wearing a Taoist robe, he was wearing a ghost face!
The Mongolian generals are too familiar with this ghost face, this is a ghost face that only shamans are qualified to wear, and it must be worn in major ceremonies such as the Great Hulitai, if it is usual, only the great shaman and some high-ranking priests can wear it at will!
"Who is this man?"
The Mongols naturally didn't recognize this person, but the righteous army that had caught up with them was as imposing as a rainbow, and the monstrous momentum almost burned the whole world to the boil!
Because to be able to stand by the side of the suzerain like this, at such a moment, those who dare to stand at the head of the city and face the Mongol army can only live in their legends, the deputy suzerain Yang Benchu!
"It's the Deputy Sect Master!"
"That's the deputy sect master! The Mongolian barbarians are going to die!"
"Everyone, rush!"
Many rebels saw that above the city, the two suzerains actually stood with their hands in hand, and stopped the rest of the Mongols in this way, and they couldn't help but be agitated, and they beat the stormy waves, and they were arrogant, and they couldn't wait to kneel down and worship!
This was the moment for them to witness the return of the Deputy Sect Master, who was too mysterious in their minds.
His shadow is everywhere in the rebels, his thoughts and creativity affect every rebel brother, and everyone enjoys the benefits and changes he brings, but most of them have never seen him.
At this time, the two sect masters unknowingly seized the north city gate, and they were so shocked that the rest of the Mongolian tribe did not dare to go out of the city, what a shocking scene!
However, the rest of the Mongols finally mustered up the courage to charge outside the city gate, but at this time, one after another red-haired evil ghosts appeared at the head of the city!
These demons began to throw corpses down the city, guarding the corpses of the hundreds of defenders guarding the gates!
Seeing the corpses being thrown down, the hearts of the Mongols were about to sink to the bottom, and outside the city gate, there was a sudden sound of rumbling footsteps!
The Mongol deserters looked around, but they saw one by one Mamluk mercenaries, holding large shields, blocking the entire city gate!
"This is the Mamluk mercenary group of the king of Guiyu, how could it be here!"
There are also many nobles among these Mongolian guards, naturally they are mercenary groups who know Guiyou, and there are also well-informed people, who received the news from the imperial court, and their faces suddenly turned pale!
"I know who this man is! He is the same Mr. Zongwei that the Great Shaman brought to Hal and Lin!"
"No, he is not Zong Wei, he should be the god man in the mouth of the thief army, the deputy chief Yang Benchu Daoren!"
"It's him!
"That's right, they should be the same person! This person has infiltrated my imperial court and provoked a struggle for imperial power, which is really damned!"
"When is it, it doesn't matter who he is, it still matters if he escapes!"
They are very aware of the strength of the Mamluk mercenary group, these thousands of Mamluk mercenaries, even if they use large-scale cavalry to charge, may not be able to break through their blockade, not to mention that the city gate is narrow, and they are stragglers, where can they rush out!
No wonder the two men at the head of the city were so calm!
"Go to the East Gate!"
Many Mongolian generals led their soldiers and horses to flee to the east gate, because the east can go to Kaifeng Mansion for help, and the defense of Kaifeng Mansion is not weaker than Luoyang.
Maybe Guo Dongjia just thought about this clearly, so he fled to the west gate, if he also went east, he was afraid that he would fall into the hands of the Mongols, and then he would be better off than dead!
And what Guo Dongjia can think of, Yang Jing can naturally think of too!
These remnants of Mongolia have just set off, and on the main road to the east of the North City Gate, more than 200 savages wearing ox helmets have already appeared, aren't they the Viking iron-bones who are ambushed here!
Seeing this, the righteous army was boiling with blood and blood, all because of Yang Jing's appearance, and burning with endless fighting spirit, as if infinite power was born in the body, and the sharp blade crashed into the formation of the Mongolian fleeing army, and quickly spread, and everywhere it passed, it was just a roll of people's heads all over the ground!
Above the city, Yang Jing slowly took off the ghost face, looked at the killing hell under the city, took a long breath, and said softly: "I'm finally back, I don't have to wear this ghost face anymore..."
Zong Yun didn't feel any more relaxed, he answered inappropriately: "Wearing this ghost thing in the north, what does it look like when you get to the south?"
Yang Jing was slightly stunned, and the breath that had just been relieved was lifted up again.
Yes, he is not Zong Yun after all, this is by no means the southernmost place, let alone his destination, he has to continue to return south and return to that court, because he is an official of the court, a loyal and brave earl, and has a lot of titles hanging on him.
In the face of His Majesty the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, as well as officials and generals, what kind of attitude and face should Yang Jing take to meet these challenges?
Maybe Zong Yun's worries are not wrong at all, the imperial court in the south is more dangerous than Har and Lin, and Yang Jing has to go back...
