Shi Jin got the help of the defecting officers and soldiers on the eaves and broke the suppression of the army's archers. Just when Shi Jin's confidence increased and he was about to kill him, in addition to a large number of officers and soldiers, he was met with a fierce attack of five more soldiers. Six hundred people.
Those people were dressed differently, some were carrying simple knives, and some were carrying axes, but they were not dressed in any way. They all had bright and eye-catching red cloth tied on their right arms. Shi Jin looked through the chaotic heads of officers and soldiers in the middle. , this group of people and the defecting officers and soldiers were obviously not the same group, but they had some obvious alliance. Shi Jin could probably guess without thinking too much that these must be the anti-Song rebels in Xianyang City. Already.
Just when Shi Jin's confidence doubled, waves of earth-shattering killing cries erupted in the alley behind.
"The first offender is dead-," followed by a thunderous roar like a lion.
This sound really startled Shi Jin, and he couldn't help but look back and saw a very familiar man galloping on horseback with a knife in his hand, holding a bloody human head high in his other hand.
All the officers and soldiers couldn't help being horrified when they saw it, and then he climbed up and shouted: "If you don't surrender your weapons, you will die, if you resist, you will die." After that, the man took the man's head and rushed along the street to kill him. There were more than ten people behind him. , each of these people carried bows and arrows on their backs, long spears in their hands, simple knives on their waists, and daggers on the sides of their boots. They used bows when they were far away and guns when they were close. Pu Dao came to assist, and under the leadership of that man, this small team of less than twenty people showed astonishing power. The output of attack power was astonishingly high and invincible, killing the officers and soldiers in all directions.
Shi Jin was horrified and took a closer look. The leader was none other than Xie Qianqiu, whom he had defeated. After the fierce battle that day, Shi Jin followed Xie Qianqiu and gave him gold horses and weapons. Shi Jin originally thought that Xie Qianqiu would go to the mountains to have some leisure time, but he didn't expect that he would live in seclusion here. And he gathered his old subordinates to come together to help in the battle, which was even more unexpected than Shi Jin's.
At this point, the morale of the Green Forest Army was greatly boosted, and they united with the rebels in the city to launch a desperate counterattack. The officers and soldiers in the city lost the backbone of the "county lieutenant" appointed by the county magistrate. Without concerted efforts, it will be difficult to organize an effective resistance.
With the help of the rebel army, Shi Jin became more and more brave in killing, and soon broke through the blockade of the officers and soldiers on the way forward. The defecting officers and soldiers opened the remaining three gates, and the Green Forest Army outside quickly poured into the city under Shi Jin's order. Come.
As a result, the officers and soldiers passively entered an increasingly disadvantageous situation, but within an hour they all abandoned their troops and surrendered.
Shi Jin and Xie Qianqiu cleared away the stubborn forces in Xianyang City one after another, took over the defense of various parts of Xianyang City, posted lists to appease the people, and other matters were handled by the wise people recommended by Wu Yong. Shi Jin was naturally relieved and sat down with Xie Qianqiu. They were chatting with each other, and they were very happy to meet each other. Xie Qianqiu mentioned the past, and Shi Jin realized that it was the three brothers who were responsible for the crime in the city. Although Xie Qianqiu had seen their weapons, Shi Jin Still, the matter was passed over in one sentence, and three people were rewarded, but no one mentioned that these three people were Shunying, let alone that they belonged to the mysterious organization [Jue].
On that day, Xianyang paid tribute to the fallen soldiers, and at dusk, three groups of soldiers and horses also came to Xianyang to gather together. After these days of fighting, the soldiers and horses under their command increased the number of local officers and soldiers who defected, and the number was over 10,000. The vanguard Wu Song, Lei Heng on the left, and Yang Zhi on the right all stationed their troops outside the city, and then they all came into Xianyang City to meet with Shi Jin. By the way, they met Xie Qianqiu. They had all fought against each other. They admired each other and felt even more. , Fortunately, we worked together in the future, which made people even more happy. That night, a banquet was held in Xianyang City to reward the three armies. Shi Jin, Wu Song, Lei Heng, Yang Zhi, and Xie Qianqiu drank at the same table and did not return until they were drunk.
Just when the wine was over and the food was over, suddenly a green forest soldier rushed in and whispered a few words in Shi Jin's ear. The smile on Shi Jin's face suddenly turned serious. The brothers looked at it and knew that something must be wrong. When this happened, they immediately put down their cups and chopsticks and looked at Shi Jin seriously.
After hearing what the sergeant said, Shi Jin sent him down to rest. After a pause, he said: "The imperial court has sent a hundred thousand forbidden troops. Now the soldiers and horses have arrived at the boundary of Jingzhao Mansion. If it is later than tomorrow night, there will definitely be Yes, we need to think of countermeasures early,"
"One hundred thousand forbidden troops, just a gimmick," Xie Qianqiu said with a glare: "If it's really one hundred thousand, that would be a bit tricky."
"Who is the name of the general who leads the army?" Yang Zhi asked.
"Tanma came to report that Ningzhou [Double Whip] Hu Yanzhuo is the coach,"
When Lei Heng heard this, he immediately said: "I have heard that this person is Hu Yanzan, the famous general from Hedong who was the founding hero of the country. He is proficient in martial arts. He can dance with two steel whips and keep dozens of people away."
"You really have this ability," Wu Song said with disapproval.
"The army must be tired after coming all the way. We are well prepared. As soon as he comes, we will attack him overnight and catch him off guard. The guy is tired of fighting and will definitely collapse thousands of miles. The first stop will dampen his energy. What happens next It will be easier to fight wherever you go," Xie Qianqiu first suggested.
Shi Jin nodded, but sighed and said: "The strategy is good, but it's a pity that Hu Yanzhuo is not an easy person. Before entering the country, he rested for a day in the bordering Shangzhou, and now he has a strong army. He is strong and full of energy. If we go for a sneak attack, we are afraid that we will just play into someone else's hands. To conquer a general who dares to fight, we must first fight with strength and then capture with wisdom."
Before Shi Jin could finish his words, Wu Song said: "You and I will go catch this guy. What happens after the founding heroes? The ones on the table are all the founding heroes today." Everyone knows what he means. People couldn't help but laugh.
Shi Jin patted Wu Song on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That's what you say, but don't be careless, otherwise a weak scholar can take our heads." Shi Jin's words were naturally hidden. She suffered a loss in Xianyang today. Everyone nodded, and Shi Jin continued: "We also invite Wu Song to take the lead, Yang Zhi to take the second team, Xie Qianqiu to take the third team, and Lei Heng to take the fourth team. You are in front. , after the four formations fought one by one, they turned into the rear army like a spinning wheel. I personally led a large group of troops to escort the central formation. We five brothers went into battle. Don't say that he has a hundred thousand forbidden troops. Even if he can swallow them, he still needs Good appetite,”
Shi Jin's allocation was decided. Everyone drank the last bowl of wine and scattered the mats. Generals Yang Zhi, Wu Song and Lei Heng each returned to the army outside the city to settle down. Shi Jin allocated Xie Qianqiu's 5,000 troops to guard the south gate. , the next day, all the troops came out of camp and formed a formation in the plains of Pingshan. After waiting for a day, they saw the arrival of the army.
However, it was not Hu Yanzhuo who signed the banner, but Han Tao, the Yum Victorious General. It turned out that after Hu Yanzhuo's three troops and horses were settled, he took the armor, helmets, swords, flags, guns, pommels, and horses that the capital received. The chain armors, weapons and other items were all distributed to the three armies. After the two officers from the Palace Commander's Mansion sent by Captain Gao came to look at them and reward them, Hu Yanzhuo sent out three groups of soldiers and horses to leave the city: the front army opened the way for Han Tao, the leader of the Chinese army Hu Yanzhuo, the rear army supervisor Peng Wei, and the three soldiers on horseback rushed towards Jingzhao Mansion in a mighty force. Therefore, the first to bear the brunt was naturally the pioneer.
Vanguard general Han Tao led his troops to the village gate, and the two armies faced each other. After the three-pass drum was played, generals from both sides came out in front of the formation. Wu Song urged his horse forward, kicking two iron swords and looking at the opponent's gate flag. At the beginning, Han Tao, the vanguard and victorious general, also galloped out. When he reached the front of the formation, he reined up his horse, pointed at Wu Song, and cursed: "The heavenly soldiers are here. If you don't want to surrender early, you still dare to resist. You are not asking for death."
Wu Song was not angry. Instead, he raised his hand and yawned loudly. He turned his ear to Han Tao and said, "What are you talking about? Mosquitoes are buzzing, you haven't had enough to eat, what are you talking about? Quickly call that Hu Yanzhuo and let me take care of it." "
"That's such a loud tone. You can't kill a chicken with a big knife. Let's see if I capture your gang of rebels alive, take them to Shangjing, and cut them into pieces," Han Tao said, patted his horse and rushed forward.
Wu Song was a person who loved to show off. After hearing this, without saying a word, he went straight to Han Tao. Han Tao jumped on his horse and came to fight Wu Song.
The two fought for more than 20 rounds, and Han Tao felt that he was no match for Wu Song. The opponent's two iron swords were coming at him fast and hard. Hu Yanzhuo, the commander of the central army behind him, arrived just in time. Seeing that Han Tao was fighting against Wu Song, he didn't have time to rest and the central army waved his whip with both whips. The sitting horse kicked the snow and black feathers, ran and roared, and rushed to the front of the formation. .
Wu Song saw him, and when he was about to wield his sword to fight Hu Yanzhuo, the second group of Yang Zhi had already rushed forward. Yang Zhi didn't even look back and shouted: "Brother Wu, rest a little. Watch me fight San Baihe before you think about it." ," As he said that, he spurred his horse on even more, straightened up his snake spear, and headed straight for Hu Yanzhuo.
Wu Song killed Han Tao and retreated into the formation. Forced by the opponent's bows and arrows, Wu Song did not dare to move forward. He immediately followed the layout of yesterday's wheel battle and drove his troops back towards the hillside from the left.
In front of the formation, Hu Yanzhuo waved his double whips to face Yang Zhi. The two were their opponents. The double whips and snake spears were killing each other fiercely. Their moves were vague. They could only see the swords and flowers transformed from the white blades, but not the weapons in their hands. When the two fought for more than 150 rounds and still couldn't decide the winner, the third group led by Xie Qianqiu arrived, and the people at the gate of the formation shouted: "General Yang, please rest, let me capture this guy. "
Yang Zhi realized what he was doing, made two feints, then turned his horse and started to run away.
Hu Yanzhuo ran all the way and then fought with Yang Zhi for a hundred rounds. His physical strength was very heavy. Seeing that General Lulin was very skilled in martial arts, he was afraid that he would suffer a big loss due to exhaustion of energy, so he turned back to the main formation.
Yang Zhi turned his troops and horses around the hillside and asked Xie Qianqiu to draw out his spear and ride out.
Just as Hu Yanzhuo entered the formation, and was about to line up a group of archers to shoot at the gate of the formation, Hu Yanzhuo's rear army also arrived. The Celestial Eye General Peng Wei crossed the three-pointed, two-edged, four-orificed and eight-ringed Dao, riding a five-star thousand-mile yellow-flowered horse, went out into battle and cursed Xie Qianqiu: "What is the right way for a traitor to rebel against the country? I will fight to win or lose with you."
Xie Qianqiu was furious when he heard this and did not answer. Then Pegasus fought with Peng Quan.
