Zhao Ying led his army all the way west, and basically did not encounter any obstacles wherever he passed, and even on the road, he saw a lot of discarded armor and weapons.

This scene made Zhao Ying very excited in his heart, and he was even more sure that the Xizhou soldiers who retreated from the clan land were bound to be unstable and panicked.

Think about it, even Xizhou City was taken by him, and most of Xizhou fell into his hands, in this situation, no matter how strong the Xizhou soldiers are, they are trapped in a small clan land, and it is a matter of time before they are exterminated.

Zhao Ying couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and ordered his army to march towards the clan land as quickly as possible, in order to ensure that Luo Qingyuan and Su Qi'an could be wiped out this time.

On the way, Zhao Ying had already issued an announcement in Xizhou, informing him of the fact that Xizhou City had been breached, and that this invasion of Xizhou was only to exterminate the traitor Su Qi'an, and would not embarrass the local people.

As long as the local people are aware of the current affairs and are willing to cooperate, and some recalcitrant counties are willing to surrender, Zhao Ying, on behalf of the new Liang Emperor Su Tai, can give them leniency, and he will not be to blame for the past.

At the same time, in order to supplement the casualties of the attack on Xizhou, Zhao Ying had already secretly recruited local bandits for his own use.

Although there are not many troops, there are four or five thousand people, which can barely make up for some losses, and now in Zhao Ying's hands, there are at least 30,000 people.

Coupled with the small 30,000 horses led by Lin Long behind him, there were almost 60,000 people in this attack on Xizhou, and in the face of 20,000 Xizhou soldiers in the clan land, and the Heilu army of more than 10,000 people, in terms of strength, it has reached a crushing force.

This westward advance, Zhao Ying is very confident, Lin Long will definitely send troops to support, if he sees himself in prison, with tens of thousands of horses in Lin Long's hands, he will not want to take Xizhou.

And everything was just as Zhao Ying expected, when he was about to arrive at the clan territory, news came from his subordinates, and behind their army, Lin Long led an army of about 20,000 people, followed closely.

This news made Zhao Ying quite proud, everything went according to his plan, even if Lin Long was unwilling, he had to be forced to help.

This is the advantage of a preemptive strike, although there are only 20,000 troops sent this time, which did not meet Zhao Ying's expectations, but it is almost enough.

At this time, 50,000 soldiers and horses can't believe that they can't push the Xizhou soldiers who only have 30,000 people.

As everyone approached all the way west, about half an hour or so, they finally came to the central city of the clan land.

After all, it is a large army, forty or fifty thousand men and horses, if they set up an ambush at the border of the clan territory, without shelter and without the slightest point of defense, this kind of ambush can only be a one-sided slaughter.

The best way is to gather troops and retreat to the central city closest to the border, and the Xizhou soldiers did the same.

Therefore, where Zhao Ying passed, he did not encounter any obstacles and arrived at the central city smoothly.

The central city in front of me looks like a good city, but in fact, the scale and defense are about the same as ordinary county towns at most, and compared with Xizhou City, it is not worth mentioning.

It can be said that giving up Xizhou City is the stupidest decision they have made.

At a safe distance, Zhao Ying stood in front of the army, and without him speaking, the soldiers behind him stepped forward to shout.

"If you rebel and surrender quickly, Zhao Shuai has an order, if you take the initiative to surrender, either capture Luo Qingyuan and Su Qi'an, and you will not be blamed for the past, and spare your life, if you insist on resisting and helping to abuse, the day the city is broken, it is the time to slaughter the city."

The cold voice, mixed with the cold wind, came slowly, and on the upper floor of the central city, there was a crowd of people, and after a while, a faint voice sounded softly.

"Hehe, Your Excellency is really angry, you want to slaughter the city? It depends on whether Your Excellency has this ability, and this king is here. ”

The person who spoke was none other than Su Qi'an.

Hearing such a title, Zhao Ying naturally recognized who the person who spoke was, his eyes were cold, he looked at the young figure on the city tower, and said coldly.

"Hmph, rebellious Su Qi'an, dare to claim the title of king, whoever gives you the guts, you are also worthy of being the king."

"Brothers, have you seen it, this rebellious minister and thief has not hidden his wolf ambitions, he has proclaimed himself king, such a rebellion, you still don't give up the secret, kill immediately, and wait for when."

Zhao Ying scolded loudly, not only to the soldiers behind him, but also to the Xizhou soldiers behind Su Qi'an, wanting to take this opportunity to encourage the Xizhou soldiers to do it.

But his words were backward, not to mention that the Xizhou soldiers standing behind Su Qi'an were indifferent, and even on the city tower, none of the many soldiers had the intention of making a move.

This scene made Zhao Ying a little stunned, and before he could speak, Su Qi'an's voice sounded again.

"Hmph, this king proclaims himself king? It's really ridiculous, this is the emperor's special decree to this king, which can be stamped with the emperor's big seal, allowing you to be so young here? ”

"The will is here, you don't quickly kneel down, the first emperor returns to heaven, Su Zhe, Su Tai and other king-killing people are also worthy of being called emperors, and they also divide and rule Daliang, and they are even better friends with Rong people, who is the real traitor to seek glory?"

"Now it's the other way around to crusade against this king, it's really ridiculous, as a soldier of Da Liang, follow the prince who kills such a king, aren't you afraid of being stinking for 10,000 years and being poked in the backbone by the people of Da Liang."

"For the sake of you, you are the Great Liang army, why don't you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and quickly take down the traitors Zhao Ying and Lin Long, so as to save their lives, if you are obsessed, you will be liquidated in the future."

Su Qi'an's voice was clear, exuding a little majesty, which made the hearts of the Zhaozhou soldiers vibrate, and there was a little discussion.

This scene startled Zhao Ying, and he hurriedly scolded, "Shut up Ben Shuai!" You are all Daliang soldiers, and you were actually bewitched by a rebellious speech, what bullshit will, he forged it, can't you still tell the reality. ”

Zhao Ying's words were very timely, although he didn't say what the soldiers thought in their hearts, but at least they stopped the kind of spreading discussion just now.

Zhao Ying breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had thought about Su Qi'an's power, but he didn't expect that he would be so sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued, and he would treat his soldiers in the same way as others, and almost rebelled against his soldiers.

Fortunately, he reacted in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, Zhao Ying raised his head, his face was ruthless, he stared at Su Qi'an viciously, and said coldly.

"Hmph, you are worthy of being a rebellious minister, this eloquence, this handsome man has seen it, but no matter how sharp your teeth are, Su Qi'an can't change your rebellious identity of killing the emperor and betraying the country for glory."

"Since you insist on looking for death, Ben Shuai will fulfill you!"

"Pass on the commander's military order, the whole army will attack, take the central city, capture Su Qi'an alive, whoever takes Su Qi'an, the official will be promoted to three levels, and the reward will be 100,000 silver!"

"Roar!"

At the sound of an order, the Zhaozhou soldiers who came back to their senses immediately broke out with an astonishing momentum, and under the leadership of their respective officers, they rushed straight to the central city in front.

The 30,000 army poured out, and the Xizhou soldiers in the central city did not have the slightest fear, and the city soon shot a rain of arrows, and at the same time, every city tower was full of soldiers, ready for battle.

A big battle broke out between the two sides immediately, Zhao Ying stood in the distance, looking indifferently, about a moment or so, behind him, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded.

You don't need to look at it to know that it is Lin Long's army of 20,000.

Lin Long came to Zhao Ying's side, his face was indifferent, looking at the fierce battle in front of him, the 20,000 Jinzhou soldiers behind him had no intention of dispatching, and stood by in place.

Zhao Ying didn't say anything as if he expected this move, turned his head and looked at Lin Longdao.

"Lin Shuai, do you still think Su Qi'an has the possibility of turning the tables around?"

Lin Long was silent, looking at the front indifferently, judging from the battle situation, the Zhaozhou soldiers who poured out of the nest were dominant, and the defense of the central city was not as strong as Xizhou City, and the strength of the counterattack was not so strong, indicating that the number of troops in the city was not 30,000, at best only about 10,000.

And the remaining 20,000 people, it is estimated that most of them will be arranged, and there will be other uses, and if this form is followed, it will be a matter of time before the central city is taken.

Even if he predicted this scene, Lin Long didn't agree with Zhao Ying's meaning, and shook his head and said, "The battle is not until the last moment, and no one can guarantee that they are the winners." ”

Lin Long's rebuttal, Zhao Ying didn't care at all, when Lin Long's mouth was hard, he had a smile on his face, his gaze was retracted, and he said with a smile.

"Therefore, in order to ensure that the winner this time is us, Lin Shuai has to make a move next, after all, now we are already a glory and a loss."

Lin Long didn't speak, just snorted coldly.

With the passage of time, the battle became more and more intense, the Zhaozhou soldiers who attacked the city gradually gained the upper hand, many soldiers have arrived at the city gate, some ladders are also firmly close to the city wall, and the Zhaozhou soldiers continue to climb.

Seeing that Zhao Zhoubing was about to climb the city, suddenly, on both sides of the city, around the open area, the ground shook suddenly, and then, a roar approached quickly.

The next moment, on both sides of the central city, a large number of unknown soldiers suddenly rushed out, and they rushed directly into the battlefield at the fastest speed, fighting with the Zhaozhou soldiers.

The Zhaozhou soldiers, who originally had the upper hand, were caught off guard by this sudden attack, but fortunately, they took precautions and stabilized the formation, and the two sides returned to a state of confrontation.

The raiding soldiers who appeared on both sides of the city, Zhao Ying still had a smile on his face, not surprised at all, as if he expected it.

His eyes turned and he looked at Lin Long on the side with a smile.

Lin Long, who had an indifferent face, was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said softly, "Passing on the commander's military order, the Jinzhou soldiers will be dispatched to help the Zhaozhou soldiers with a helping hand, and they will inevitably defeat the enemy in front of them." ”

The Jinju soldiers, who received the order, waited for a long time, and each of them couldn't hold back, and the next moment, the 20,000 troops went straight to the battlefield that fell into the scorching according to the formation.

At this moment, the battlefield has undergone great changes, the two sides are fighting, and the enemy in front of them is like a meat grinder, and there are lives dying all the time.

Zhao Ying looked at this scene, the smile on his face did not decrease by half a point, and he looked quite satisfied, and said to Lin Ying on the side.

"Hehe, thank you Lin Shuai, when you take the clan land, about your merits, the old man must know that Lin Shuai still made a lot of effort in this battle."
