Yue Rong said to the few people beside him: "Follow me to the city, and retreat the thieves together!" “

Everyone listened to the order, and the iron gate master, the head of Gongsun, Hongyan, and Yang Yu rushed away with Yuerong and the Liao soldiers, and went to the city tower of Lanzhou. The Sixteen Stars and the Five Warriors led the crowd to fight under the city.

The defenders of the city of Lanzhou were defeated by the Liao soldiers, and saw Marshal Yang fighting desperately with a spear, although he was injured, but the spear was shaking, and the thieves in front of him continued to fall. Marshal Yang retreated alone, not counting the thieves. The thieves saw that Marshal Yang's armor was bleeding more than once, and they were still injured like ants, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move forward for a while.

Marshal Yang spurted blood with tiger eyes, and shouted angrily: "Bold thief, invade my territory, and you can't afford to die!" After speaking, he pointed at the Liao soldiers in front of him, his heroic and fearless attitude, and his righteous blood to serve the country, he looked like a god reincarnated. How could a mere Liao soldier ever see a dying man so proud and mighty. The Liao soldiers who were so frightened that they attacked the city tower retreated timidly.

At this time, Deputy Marshal Zhang, who was defending the city, led the remnants to come back from the other side to kill the generals, and the Liao soldiers woke up like a dream, and continued to pounce on the Song soldiers defending the city like hungry wolves. Deputy Marshal Zhang was overwhelmed by the enemy, and the Liao soldiers rushed back to Marshal Yang again. The first person swung his knife and slashed at Marshal Yang.

Suddenly, a sword came out at the right time, and the sword in the hand of the Liao soldier flew away. Xiao Yuerong stepped forward to Marshal Yang's side, waved the sword in his palm, and Xiao Xiao retreated the Liao soldiers in front of him with a few swords.

Vice Marshal Zhang was very surprised when he saw Yuerong leading the crowd to arrive. Yu Yuerong said: "The master of the Xiao Sect came at the right time!" Yuerong said: "As I expected, the Liao thieves are divided into two ways, all the way to entangle my natural men, all the way to besiege Lanzhou, if you fight with the Liao thieves in the ten thousand caves last night, my natural door loss is small, I am afraid that today's Lanzhou will suffer." ”

As he spoke, Yuerong brought people to Marshal Yang to knock on him, but when he saw the marshal, his eyes were red tears, his nose was bleeding, his spear was pointed at the enemy camp, and he stared at Liaozhai with tiger eyes, standing proudly on the city tower, as if he only wanted to fight the enemy and kill the thief in his heart, and he didn't care about the arrival of Yuerong and others.

Everyone was surprised when they saw Marshal Yang speechless. Vice Marshal Zhang exclaimed: "Marshal! ”

Yue Rong said respectfully: "Marshal, the disciple of the Natural Sect is here!" "Yue Rong was afraid of disturbing Marshal Yang.

Seeing that Marshal Yang was still silent, Yang Yu blinked his big elf-like eyes and asked, "Marshal, what's wrong with him?" ”

Marshal Yang's body is still bleeding, and he will not retreat from the Liao soldiers, even if his blood is exhausted, his mind will not stop!

Tie Zhongjie looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. Seeing this, Deputy Marshal Zhang wept and bowed down with his subordinates. At this time, Marshal Yang's body slowly fell, and he collapsed with his unfinished long-term wish.

Yue Rong hurriedly stepped forward to hold Marshal Yang's corpse, and the armor was already stained with blood.

All the people were in mourning.

"Marshal Yang is dead! Hurry up and get to town! A Liao soldier shouted to the city. Yuerong said to Deputy Marshal Zhang: "Protect the marshal, the grass people can lead people to resist the Liao soldiers." ”

Marshal Zhang nodded and personally placed Marshal Yang with his subordinates. Yuerong and Hongyan and other Liao soldiers rushed to the city. In a bloody battle, the Liao soldiers were killed and wounded, and their arrogance was slight. Visiting the sixteen stars and the five exercisers under the city, the disciples of the Natural Sect fought hard and the Liao soldiers did not retreat, but the thieves attacked like a flood.

Hongyan said: "Extinguish the flames of the city tower, but how can you resist the momentum under the city?" If this continues, wouldn't the people of the Natural Gate and the sergeants of Lanzhou be wiped out! ”

Yuerong shook his head and sighed: "I can't imagine that all hope will be lost overnight, and the Liao people know that Marshal Yang has gone, so why don't they take advantage of the situation to attack the city?" ”

Yuerong said again: "The enemy is outnumbered, and the plan to defend the city should be equipped with more bows, crossbows, arrows, and stones, and use them condescendingly to strangle the enemy." ”

Deputy Marshal Zhang said: "After days of fighting, the bows and crossbows and arrows have suffered great losses. While taking advantage of these few days of rest, Marshal Yang specially ordered the soldiers to rush to produce 20,000 arrows for emergencies. At today's critical moment, he was about to use it, but the old marshal left in a hurry. "When Deputy Marshal Zhang was sad, he ordered his archers to prepare the marquis, and ordered people to take bows and arrows to defend against the enemy.

In an instant, more than 1,000 archers had finished their preparations, and Marshal Zhang gave an order, and the arrows on the city were like flying locusts, and countless Liao soldiers were injured. Yuerong looked at the wall from afar, and vaguely saw a person in the rear of the Liao army commanding the battle immediately, and saw his demeanor, it was Xiao Tart, the pioneer of the Liao army. Hongyan also noticed it early. Yu Yuerong said: "It turns out that Xiao Tzu has been commanding the battle here, and last night he set up a deception to lure me into his trap. ”

Deputy Marshal Zhang said: "Xiao Tzu is lazy and scheming, wise and brave. The marshal often mentions this man, saying that he is a fierce enemy! ”

Hongyan said: "I can't stab him a few times, I don't know if I have a chance today?" ”

Yang Yu said: "It's best to shoot her with an arrow!" ”

Yun Lingyan said: "It's a pity that what kind of arrow is so powerful? ”

Marshal Zhang replied: "My bus has already been prepared, just waiting for you to try!" ”

Everyone looked back at the dozens of special arrows placed behind them, shaped like cars, narrow, and matched by special long arrows. Yuerong asked, "Is this the bow car?" Marshal Zhang replied: "Exactly, this weapon has an extremely long range and amazing power, but the accuracy is slightly worse." I wonder if the master of the Xiao Sect is available? ”

At that time, soldiers had already fired dozens of arrows, and the range of their arrows was truly incredible.

Yuerong was surprised, holding a long arrow, and led away, shooting directly at the Xiao tartl. The place where the arrow blade went had already hurt Xiao Tzu's lazy soldiers. Yuerong was amazed, and the second time he drank the strings aimed at Xiao Tart, but looking at the long roar of the arrow, it had the potential of shooting for nine days, and it was just like a meteor breaking through the sky. Full of anger from the disciples of the Natural Sect, and Marshal Yang did not make his last wishes, the soldiers of Lanzhou were indignant, slashed over the enemy soldiers, and shot Xiao Tart lazy, Xiao Tart lazy screamed, turned over and fell off the horse.

Everyone watched from the city, and the panic of the Liao soldiers spread rapidly in an instant, and the adjutant general had already ordered the troops to be withdrawn. But seeing that the Liao soldiers were like the water of defeat, they swept away from the dust under the city of Lanzhou. Seeing this, Marshal Zhang in the city discussed with Yuerong and led the crowd to take the opportunity to chase and kill. Taking advantage of the victory, he injured many Liao soldiers until the Liao thieves completely disappeared from sight.

Back to Lanzhou City, Yuerong and everyone visited Marshal Yang, but unfortunately the old marshal had already passed away and had no chance to go into battle to kill the enemy again! A generation of heroes will be buried under Huang Ai. Lamentable! Alas! There is a poem that says:

Ambition is full of tent front windows, so what's the point of dreaming of wind and sand?

The wolf smoke moistens the righteousness of the body, and the dust is overdyed like frost.

poured out his generous blood and wished to give thousands of miles to the king.

The spring breeze and autumn rain go far away, and the wine clouds are misty.

The heroic soul is inseparable from the stubborn land, and the clothes are covered in snow and fighting tigers and wolves.

Carrying the infinite meaning of the rivers and mountains, the veins are sprinkled with tears.

The group silently and tearfully buried Marshal Yang. After the burial was completed, everyone burned incense and drank wine in front of the grave, and knelt down for a long time. It's hard to leave, and you have to give up eventually, so what?

Yue Rong, Marshal Zhang, Hongyan and the disciples of the Natural Sect slowly got up. Looking up at the battlefield with light smoke, there are corpses of Song soldiers everywhere, all stained by dust, how can there be any vitality. The capital is: 'Qingshan is fortunate to bury the bones of the faithful,' but now 'Huang Ai buries the hero for no reason'.

Yuerong asked Marshal Zhang: "Marshal Yang has left, what if the Liao soldiers attack the city again?" ”

Marshal Zhang sighed: "Marshal Meng Yang taught him before his death, Zhang can only serve his family and country if he dies. ”

Yuerong said: "The disciples of the Natural Sect are willing to live and die with Lanzhou!" ”

Marshal Zhang heard this, leaned down and bowed down and said: "With the help of young heroes, Lanzhou will definitely be able to survive these few days, and Hou De's reinforcements will arrive." ”

Yuerong hurriedly picked up Marshal Zhang and said: "Serve the country, and the glory of the natural gate will be doubled!" Yuerong said: "Today's situation, the natural gate and the marshal are temporarily resting, just waiting for the Liao army to change, I can attack head to tail in order to contain the Liao army." ”

Marshal Zhang said yes. So Yuerong said goodbye to Marshal Zhang and returned to the Natural Gate.
