Without waiting for Zhou Tinggou to react next, he heard a huge cracking sound of "boom", smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the city gate tower almost shook several times. The rebels under the city shouted cheers, and countless wooden stakes were topped, and the main gate of the solid city of Hezhou, which was wound back and forth with large chains, was opened.

What embarrassed Zhou Tinggou was that among the four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, only the south gate, which he personally led people to defend, was the first to be breached. Of course, this is also because the rebels put most of their forces in the southern city to attack, and the southern city is the focus of their attack.

However, Zhou Tinggou had to allocate his limited forces to the other three gates, and let the few veterans be diverted to the other three gates, which caused the recruits to lack the leadership of the veterans and became at a loss.

The south gate was broken, it was pointless to defend the city wall, and the rebels poured into the city from the city gate, but Zhou Tinggou was unwilling to admit defeat, and he decisively gathered the soldiers and horses at the head of the city and retreated down the city wall to fight with the enemy.

For a while, on the long streets, between the alleys, there were fights everywhere, and battlefields everywhere. The defenders used every street, every courtyard wall, and every house courtyard as a barrier to fight the rebels to the death.

However, the disparity in strength caused the rebels to quickly push closer through the streets, and soon half of the city fell into the hands of the rebels. Zhou Tinggou still refused to give up, and ordered the whole army to retreat to the Assassin's Mansion, with the tall as the place to resist, so that this heart of Hezhou City was still in the hands of the defenders.

Although more than 60,000 soldiers and horses were left after a day's battle, there were only more than 10,000 soldiers left, but these more than 10,000 warriors were already elite soldiers.

The anger of Zhou Ting, who retreated from the city with the small army, was contained. It's not that there is a way to break through the Thorn History Mansion, but with the failures of Zhou Tinggou day after day, I haven't regarded the occupied states and counties as the land under my own rule, and I really want to break the city that cost the country a lot of effort and the Hezhou Thorn History Mansion that is rare and comparable to a fortress, so I want to use extreme means such as burning the car and other means to re-destroy it.

However, Sun Dinghui's stubborn resistance obviously angered Zhou Tinggou, who ordered the captured defenders to be pressed into the door, and those people were used as meat shields to cover the rebels' retreat, which caused Sun Dinghui and Li Jingsui and others in the mansion to scold him angrily.

Finally, Pei Qianming ordered the soldiers and horses to stop shooting arrows, I am willing to shoot the arrows into the bodies of the captured comrades, plus in fact, the city of Hezhou has not been lost, and the land of the stabbing mansion will be defended sooner or later, so why bother to resist fearfully.

Pei Qianming suddenly glanced at the corner of the mansion and said loudly: "General Wang, if you try to rush out together, you are not ten percent sure that you will be able to break out." ”

With the former Wang Sizhong, he walked behind Pei Qianming's face again, put the tip of the blood-dripping knife behind Li Jingsui's neck and asked in a deep voice: "Li Jingsui, what about him?" Drop is drop? ”

Pei Qianming glanced at it and saw that Zhou Tinggou had turned around impatiently, so he walked over and slashed Zhou Jie's head with a knife, threw the bloody knife, wiped the blood under his face with his sleeve and said, "Phew!" He's worthy of it! ”......

"When you see the imperial brother, why are you saluting?" Xu Ruchang, who was standing beside Zhou Tinggou, shouted at Sun Dinghui and Li Jingsui.

In the Assassin's Mansion, the rebels forced the prisoners to approach in a hurry, and the rebel soldiers hiding in front of them were ready to break through the mansion gate in one fell swoop.

Wang Sizhong took a step back and came to Sun Dinghui and Li Jingsui, stared at the two of them with a pair of red eyes, and hurriedly said to Sun Dinghui: "Sun Dinghui, he is also a good general, are you willing to serve the little marshal?" Say yes if you want to! ”

"Yo! It's pretty horizontal. Wang Sizhong of the tempered family was the first to shout.

Li Jingsui smiled bitterly: "Yes, the last general is gone." Xie Kang, he didn't grow up here, he understood the mood of the last general. The last general was not from Hezhou, he was born and grew up in Si, drank the water in the small river, and ate the rice grain on Danyang Mountain.

Pei Qianming shook his head and said, "Xie Kang, he quickly broke out with the remaining soldiers!" I heard that the charioteer's family in the palace of King Qi left the city last night, and I ask you to quickly find the palace to join me, and inform the court of the strength of the rebels. The last general is looking forward to you being able to lead your army back and retake Hezhou. ”

"Fuck it!" Sun Dinghui shouted with angry eyes.

Sun Dinghui sighed, pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled and said: "General Wang is low-minded, Zhou is ashamed!" Zhou also figured it out, this time he lost Hezhou, and Zhou died without redemption, but it was like a slow knife, and he was in the name of a loyal martyr! Hahaha, General Wang, let you die with him! ”

A personal soldier hurriedly handed down a knife and handed it to Pei Qianming, and shouted at Sun Dinghui and Li Jingsui: "Sun Shuai is going to do it, look at them are still crossing!" ”

Wang Sizhong's eyes burst with fierce light, and with a wave of his hand, the blade went straight into Pei Qianming's abdomen, blood gushed out, and Sun Dinghui's low body fell to the ground with a "poof".

Sun Dinghui glanced at Zhou Tinggou and said with a hot smile: "What imperial brother? One is a traitor who is loyal and filial! This section is the envoy of Xiaotang Jiangnan to beg for thieves and deputy capitals, how can he bow down? ”

"Pei Qian, he?"

Wang Sizhong turned around, and before he could ask questions, Zhou Jie, who had not collapsed to the ground and was scared, raised his hand and shouted: "This official surrenders!" You surrender, you surrender! You and Zhou Jie are willing to serve the little generalissimo of the emperor's younger brother! ”

Li Jingsui solemnly arched his hand and said: "Xie Kang will persuade again, the last general has already broken that idea, that is the last general's long-cherished wish." Please also ask Xie Kang to make it complete. But the last general only did not have a request, asking Xie Kang to lead his troops to recapture Hezhou, so that he could be ravaged at the hands of the rebels!

Zhou Tinggou came with a smile when he heard the news, Sun Dinghui and Li Jingsui stood tall and looked at Zhou Tinggou, while Zhou Jie, the assassin of Hezhou, on the side, saluted Zhou Tinggou with a smile on his face.

If it is not possible, please play the court, and say that the Hezhou camp made Li Jingsui die generously with the city, did he disgrace the villagers, and even more so did he not embarrass the court and His Majesty! ”

"Yo he!" Wang Sizhong let out a low howl, his hand was sent back, and the tip of the knife stabbed into Li Jingsui's neck in a roundabout way, and a stream of cold blood burst out, splashing Wang Sizhong's head and face.

In the past seventeen years, the last general has been guarding Jinling or coming back to be a cantonment envoy, but he has always dared to forget where his roots are. Now that the homeland is in the hands of traitors, the last general has no responsibility to defend the land but has the power to save it, and the only option is to live and die with it. ”

"General Wang, we're defeated! I thought about it, in one day, Hezhou City has changed hands, you Pei Qianming is capable, you have not lived up to the trust of the court, you have not failed the expectations of the people, and you have not failed to live up to the trust of your son! Sun Dinghui sighed, tears coming out of his eyes.

When they were young, Sun Dinghui and Li Jingsui smiled together and said goodbye to each other, as if it was an unusual parting, there was no pain in life and death, and the smile under our faces was gentle and dim.

"Xie Kang, don't say that, in fact, we all understand in our hearts that Hezhou City is fundamentally guarded. But even if we defend it, we can defend it, and we need to make the traitor pay the price. In fact, we did it! The first battle of Danyang Pass and the first battle of today, although we were defeated, but the rebels also lost a lot, at least not 280,000 soldiers and horses were annihilated, which laid the foundation for the recent counterinsurgency of the imperial court. Li Jingsui said in a deep voice.

Sun Dinghui endured: "Then what's the pain? ”

Sun Dinghui was surprised: "Is he leaving?" ”

Li Jingsui smiled respectfully, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Have a fucking dream!" ”

Then Wang Sizhong hurriedly stepped down, and said a few words to Zhou Tinggou, and when he saw Zhou Tinggou suddenly nodding, he broke off and said: "Get a knife for Lao Tzu!" ”

"General Wang, see you in the next life!"
