Chapter 444: The Jade is Burned
At this time, Jiangling City had been cleared by the Tang army, and all the key roads were blocked by the Tang army, and more than 6,000 elite Tang troops surrounded the entire palace to death. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sun Zhen was negotiating with Zuo Longxing when he heard a voice shouting, "They are fake." Then I saw thirty-four black-clothed men coming behind a tall middle-aged man, the Tang army immediately sent someone to intercept him, and the twenty-four factions immediately recognized the person as Xing Anping, the master of the Qinglong Hall of the Wudang faction, and immediately stated his identity and let him over.
Xing Anping came to Sun Zhen, clasped his fists and saluted, then pointed to the wall and said: "The princess is now in King Zheng's mansion, and she has not gone out with the army at all, and the head of my family is with Miss Murong, with the kung fu of the two of them, it is impossible to be caught." ”
Zuo Longxing's face changed slightly, and he said angrily: "Boy, if you dare to attack, I will cut the two of them immediately, and then you can distinguish the truth from the fake." ”
Sun Zhen was still a little hesitant, and Xing Anping said loudly: "I also saw the head of my family and Miss Murong just now, and asked Marshal Sun to give the order to attack." ”
Tang Wenxing's face was complicated, and he stepped forward and said: "The Demon Sect is full of tricks, and now the Wudang Sect has also come forward to testify, it is fake, and if it drags on any longer, it will be dawn, don't leave them." ”
Sun Zhen suddenly realized that he immediately ordered the siege of the city. This time, the Tang army was bound to win, and the fighting spirit was like a rainbow, and it broke through the palace gate in less than a moment, and more than 1,000 people of the Demon Sect were led by Hu Yunzhao to break through to the west. In charge of defending the western city wall, Xue Lian's subordinate Du Yu Marquis, who only brought less than 2,000 men, was killed and wounded after a fierce battle, and was escaped by the Demon Sect.
Shi Chuyang took all the concubines, sons and nephews of the Gao family, and held Gao Jichong to follow behind, and the four sects, the seven evils, and the seven palaces withdrew. Seeing that Nanping was dead, if he forced himself to engage the Southern Tang Army, he would simply be impatient. The Tang army sent 80,000 troops, even if the Demon Sect won for a while, when the Tang Army gathered heavy troops, the Demon Sect had to wait for death.
The lesser of two evils, the Demon Sect immediately took people and retreated, leaving an empty city to the Jiangnan army. Hearing that the Southern Tang army invaded the palace, Gao Baoqiao vomited three liters of blood and died, and the dead body was not cared for, still lying on the dragon bed.
The Tang army and Tang Wenxing's twenty-four factions attacked the palace, and the remnants of the defenders resisted desperately, but they were shaken by the grasshoppers and the mantis arms blocking the car, and they were soon wiped out. A group of eunuchs and palace maids fled in all directions and were all killed by the Tang army. The entire Miyagi was full of blood, and it truly became a hell on earth.
Tang Wenxing led the twenty-four factions to search for the Demon Sect in the palace city, but they did not find a human figure, and only found more than 20 people who were killed in a large hall. After a while, Sun Zhen brought people over, and his own hidden dragon personnel recognized that they were all Tang Army personnel lurking in the palace, but unfortunately they were all killed by the Demon Sect.
Sun Zhen followed and led people to rush into Gao Baomiao's dormitory, only to see Gao Baomiao's face like gold paper dead on the bed, and couldn't help sighing, asking people to bury him, and then send someone to clean up the battlefield and write a chapter for success. At the same time, people were sent to stop the Tang army from burning, killing and looting in Jiangling City, and a battalion commander and political commissar who set fire everywhere in the city were removed from their posts and investigated for setting fire and looting because they were not strict in controlling the troops.
The noisy city of Jiangling gradually calmed down after a hustle and bustle in the middle of the night, the Tang army took over the yamen posts, and the surrendered and captured Nanping troops were concentrated in the eastern part of the city for reorganization. At the same time, Xue Dingfang led 3,000 troops and 2,000 men and horses under Tang Wenxing to chase and kill the Demon Sect, but he didn't expect the Demon Sect to act quickly, and he had already led the Nanping royal family to escape from Jiangling City and go west.
To the west is the Great Shu Kingdom, if Gao Jichong fled there, it would be good to say, I am afraid that he will flee to the Great Song Dynasty through the Great Shu Kingdom, so it will be troublesome, and the Great Song Dynasty will definitely send troops to the south of the Yangtze River.
The more Sun Zhen thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he ordered Xue Dingfang to recover Gao Jichong at any cost. After Xue Dingfang received the order, he pursued Tang Wenxing overnight, and finally caught up with the Demon Sect in the east of Xiazhou City. The Demon Sect did not expect that the Tang soldiers would chase after him, and immediately sent the four sects to fight against the Yuheng Palace, Yaoguang Palace, Kaiyang Palace, and Tianji Palace, with a total of more than 1,000 people. The rest of the men and horses immediately crossed the river to the west and fled directly to Kuizhou through Xiazhou.
At this time, Guizhou and Xiazhou were captured by the Tang army, and when they heard that they were chasing and killing the Demon Sect, the Tang Army in Xiazhou immediately divided 3,000 men and horses to surround Xue Dingfang and surround the Demon Sect on the edge of the Yangtze River.
Tang Wenxing was overjoyed, today's battle to annihilate the four sects of the Demon Sect and the Four Palaces of the Big Dipper is outstanding, and he has made outstanding achievements, I don't know how the three sects feel when they hear the news, anyway, their status in the righteous path of the rivers and lakes can be determined in a battle.
The Demon Sect has no way out, and there is only one way to fight to the death. Tang Wenxing was extremely cunning, and under the pretext that it did not affect the Tang army's operation, he led people to retreat to the side to watch the battle. Xue Dingfang looked down on him and the Twenty-Four Gang at all, and immediately commanded the Tang Army to strangle the Demon Sect.
For the first time, the Jianghu gang officially faced the regular troops, and the more than 6,000 people of the Tang Army did not give the Demon Sect a chance to react at all, and first charged the formation with a strong bow, and shot more than 200 people in a round of arrow raindown. The Demon Sect was not an easy person, so he immediately counterattacked and pounced, and became a mess with the Tang Army. The two sides saw each other with swords and guns, and they were both red-eyed.
The Demon Sect is superior in combat power, and the Tang Army is also well-trained. The heads of the four sects and the masters of the four palaces are all masters of the rivers and lakes, and the generals of the Tang Army are not opponents at all.
After a rush to kill, the heads of the four sects successively killed seventeen generals of the Tang Army, and the palace master of the Four Palaces killed six battalion commanders of the Tang Army, and three Du Yu Marquis, which frightened the generals of the Tang Army, and only dared to surround them from afar, and no one dared to step forward for a while.
The three brothers of the Heavenly Demon Sect fought against the five generals of the Tang Army, and the three of them were fearless and worked together to force the generals of the Tang Army to dodge in all directions, and if they were not careful, they would be stabbed to death by the Heavenly Demon Sword.
The four little witches faced the Tang army back to back, but the Tang army was endless, killing a batch and another batch, more than 6,000 people against more than 1,000 people already had a numerical advantage, not to mention that the regular Tang army was extremely strong. The battle was less than one hour and three moments, more than 1,000 people under the Demon Sect killed and injured more than 2,000 Tang troops, and more than 20 generals, at this time Xue Jian personally led the army to help the war, the Tang Army's heart was greatly boosted, the Demon Sect was finally defeated, more than 1,000 people were almost wiped out by the Tang Army, and the remaining more than 100 people desperately fled westward, but were blocked by Xue Lian's army.
At this time, the remaining members of the Demon Sect were the heads of the sects, the palace masters and the elites of the four little devils, and seeing that the Tang Army was approaching again, everyone knew that they were not lucky, and gathered together to prepare for the battle of the trapped beasts.
The Tang army suffered heavy casualties, and they were all red-eyed, and Xue Dingfang was almost killed by Tu Yuxuan's sword, and he hated it so much that he immediately led more than a dozen generals to pounce.
Seeing that the people of the Demon Sect were unlucky, two figures suddenly appeared in the night, one of them was Zuo Longxing, a trick of Xuan Silk Rain was issued, Tang Jun fell down when he landed, Xue Jian was almost hit, and in a hurry, he saw Zuo Longxing as if he had entered a no-man's land, Tang Jun was too close, and he didn't have time to release the arrows, and watched him take the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect out.
The remaining Beidou Palaces were just about to follow, but the Tang army cut the gap in time and surrounded the remaining hundred or so people again. The person who came from behind was wearing a yellow shirt and a green scarf covering his face, and a fire suddenly appeared on his body, followed by sparks splashing around, which frightened Tang Jun and avoided it in a hurry. In the firelight, the man suddenly stretched out his hand, and with one move, he pinched the throats of the two Tang Army generals who were blocking the road first.
The Tang army suffered heavy casualties in this battle, everyone was red-eyed, and several Tang generals did not retreat but advanced, repelled the Tang army soldiers, and surrounded them at the same time.
The man in yellow has a lot of fire, just like a burning man, and no one dares to stop him wherever he goes. This person's body method is extremely fast, he shoots faster, and he must kill one person in each move, and after a few moves, more than ten Tang generals who besieged him were all killed. Where did the soldiers of the Tang Army dare to stop, watching him lead the Big Dipper Four Palaces to break out of the encirclement and disappear into the vast night.
Xue Dingfang watched the people in yellow kill in all directions, and finally came to his senses, shouting and releasing the arrows, it was already too late, and the remaining Demon Sect people had already fled without a trace.
Tang Wenxing stepped forward with a pale face and said to Xue Dingfang: "Don't chase it anymore, this person is unknown, he must be the top master of the Demon Sect, be careful." Xue Dingfang didn't expect the masters of the rivers and lakes to be so powerful, his face was pale, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet, especially Tu Yuxuan almost stabbed him to death, which made him tremble. Seeing that the Demon Sect had run away with more than 100 people, and the Tang army suffered heavy casualties, he immediately ordered no longer to pursue, but ordered the Tang army to clean up the battlefield and bury the dead bodies.
Objectively speaking, the Tang Army still had the upper hand against the Demon Sect, if it weren't for Zuo Longxing and the man in yellow to make a move, the Four Sects and the Four Palace Palace Masters and the Four Little Devils would have been killed here.
Gao Baoqiao of Nanping Kingdom is dead, Gao Jichong and a group of royal families were taken captive by the Demon Sect, and Jiangling fell into the hands of the Tang Army, which means that Nanping Kingdom is declared extinct. Although Xue Dingfang did not kill the Demon Sect, he also made the Demon Sect aware of the horror of the Tang Army, and all plans were declared frustrated.
Tang Wenxing annihilated more than 1,000 people of the Demon Sect with the help of the Tang Army, felt proud, and after bidding farewell to the Tang Army, he led the twenty-four factions back to restore his life.
After listening to Tang Wenxing's report, the Xingkong Elder of Shaolin Temple was silent for a long time, waved his hand and asked Tang Wenxing to step down, looked at everyone and sighed: "I didn't expect that at the critical moment, the Demon Sect would actually help the Gao family." ”
Diao Beidou said coldly: "The Demon Sect has bad intentions, and now that the Gao clan has been kidnapped, there will be another turmoil." Sun Renzhao said: "I hate to press the gold thread every year and make wedding clothes for others." Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty has destroyed Nanping, the Demon Sect has fled far away, and it makes no sense for us to stay here any longer, so it is better for everyone to disperse. ”
Xingdian frowned and said: "Now that the Demon Sect is far away, the target seems to be the Shu Kingdom, Tang Wenxing is originally a member of the Shu clan, it is better to send him to lead someone to track down." The Demon Sect's strength has been greatly damaged in this battle, and as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke, there is no need for us to fight against them. ”
Ma Renfei continued: "Now that Xiao Han doesn't know where he is, Nanping is dead, and there is really no need for us to stay here anymore." Just do what Senior Brother Xingdian said, let Tang Wenxing lead someone to track down, and we can rest for a while. ”
Naturally, the people obeyed, and immediately gave the order. Xiao Han is not here now, Tang Wenxing is now in charge of the thirty-six factions, and he has made great achievements, and he is full of ambition, and when he heard that he will lead the world's rivers and lakes to track the Demon Sect, he naturally agreed.
The city of Jiangling was in turmoil all night, and when the sky was bright, the entire city had changed hands, and all Guizhou and Xiazhou had fallen, and the Southern Tang Dynasty seized the small country of Nanping with very small losses. At this time, it was less than 20 days before the departure of the Southern Tang Expeditionary Force, and now the situation is clear to everyone, and everyone knows that the Yama Gang is pretending to be the Tang Army, but it is playing a plan to destroy the Tang Army.
