Seeing the Qi army coming, Zhang Kai and Wang Wende couldn't care less. They pushed Gao Qiu into the carriage, and started running wildly while protecting Gao Qiu's carriage from left to right.
Now that the army is defeated, it is best to rush back to the city to ensure safety, and then gather the troops again so that there is still a chance to fight again.
Although the hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated, they could not be swallowed up by the Qi army all at once. There would still be many people who could escape.
Under the protection of Zhang Kai and Wang Wende, they actually escorted Gao Qiu out of the siege and led to Yanzhou City.
At the foot of Yanzhou City.
"Hurry up and open the door. Your Majesty Taiwei is here, but you haven't opened the city gate yet."
Looking at the closed gate of Yanzhou City, Zhang Zhang felt something bad in his heart, so he stepped forward and called the door.
"Hmph, old thief Gao Qiu, long time no see, do you still recognize me, Lin Chong?"
A man at the city gate was filled with resentment and murderous intent, which frightened Gao Qiu all over.
"Lin Chong!"
"Quickly retreat~"
Gao Qiu had already accepted the fact of defeat. When he saw that it was Lin Chong on the city gate tower, others did not remember him, but he still recognized Lin Chong.
In order to deal with Lin Chong, he personally designed the White Tiger Festival Hall trap, used his power, and finally let Lin Chong escape.
"Old thief Gao Qiu, take your life!"
Lin Chong, riding an overlord's black horse and armed with a five-hook god's flying bright silver spear, led his troops to attack the old thief Gao Qiu.
It turned out that after learning that Gao Qiu was leading the invasion, Wang Lun sent someone to notify Lin Chong, asking Lin Chong to rush back immediately to help in the battle after completing his mission.
Wang Lun specially asked Lin Chong to seize Yanzhou City and wait for Gao Qiu to come.
"Lieutenant, leave quickly! Let's stop this person."
When they opened their mouths, they saw Lin Chong, who looked like a leopard with a ring of eyes and eight feet tall, and a sharp aura came towards them. Even those who were not blind knew that Lin Chong was not easy to mess with, and they had heard of Lin Chong's name before, that was Wang Lun
He has many powerful generals under his command.
"kill!"
Wang Wende slapped Gao Qiu's carriage, brandished a nine-chain sword and killed Lin Chong with Zhang Kai.
"Get out of my way!"
Lin Chong was like a furious leopard at this time, roaring loudly, waving the five-hook divine flying silver spear in his hand like a silver python, with spear skills like a dragon, one against two.
Wang Wende has the strength of a strong Piao, and Zhang Kai is probably the strength of a weak tiger. The two team up to deal with Lin Chong.
But he was also beaten back by the powerful Lin Chong. If the two had not joined forces, he would have been killed by Lin Chong at this time.
After fighting for fifty rounds, Lin Chong used a move to make the sky full of wind and snow, knocking Wang Wende off his horse and killing him so much that he fled.
"Damn it!"
"Old thief Gao Qiu, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I, Lin Chong, will kill you to avenge my wife!"
Lin Chong looked around and saw that Gao Qiu had escaped without a trace. He was so angry that he almost stabbed Wang Wende to death, but stopped at the last moment.
"Tie this man up for me and send him to the king."
After giving instructions to the left and right, Lin Chong led his troops and continued to chase Gao Qiu.
Han Qinhu commanded the army to defeat Gao Qiu's army, and was now launching an all-out attack to gather the surrendered troops and harvest the spoils of war.
"Ah~ damn old thief Gao Qiu!"
When Lin Chong was chasing, he pursued in the wrong direction. When he found the right path, it was still a step too late.
Gao Qiu fled to the capital of Daming Prefecture.
The capital of Daming Prefecture was a famous city in the Song Dynasty. The city was on a steep hill, with wide and deep trenches, and a majestic drum tower. The outer city was forty-eight miles in circumference, and there was also a palace inside.
There were four capitals in the Northern Song Dynasty, which were divided into four capitals: southeast, southeast, and northwest, namely Kaifeng Prefecture, Yingtian Prefecture, Henan Prefecture, and Daming Prefecture.
This Daming Mansion controls Heshuo, and the north gate is the key. It is the north gate of the capital of the Song Dynasty and the most important military town in the north of the Song Dynasty.
The top leader of the Daming Palace is Liang Shijie, the son-in-law of Grand Master Cai Jing. He is a member of the Zhongshu family who judges Daming Palace affairs and stays in the north of Beijing. He is a Beijing official and a local official. He holds the military and political power of Daming Palace. In the court, the Grand Master is his father-in-law. So, then
It's overwhelming power.
One is fat but one is short of wealth, and one is extremely rich.
The birthday gift given to his father-in-law Cai Jing every year is worth 100,000 yuan, and I don’t know how much people’s wealth and wealth are collected on weekdays.
"Hurry and report to King Qi and ask him to attack Daming Mansion!"
Lin Chong looked at the tall city in front of him and saw that he only had more than a thousand soldiers and horses, so he had no choice but to ask Wang Lun for help.
In the capital city of Daming Prefecture.
"I have met Mr. Taiwei. Please, the reception banquet is ready."
"Lord Zhongshu, you're welcome, please!"
Gao Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. He and Liang Zhongshu were in the same boat. They had the same temperament and they talked happily.
Gao Qiu told the story of the defeat, and Liang Zhongshu didn't look very good. After all, he was defeated.
"Don't worry, Lieutenant. Our Daming Mansion City is high and deep. Even if Wang Lun brings troops to invade, we can still hold on to the city."
Liang Zhongshu comforted Gao Qiu, saying that we have a good location and cannot defeat him, so hiding will not be a problem.
"When I gather my troops and horses, I can still fight the bandits!"
Gao Qiu freshened up, drank a few glasses of wine, and felt powerful again.
"I wonder if Daming Mansion has capable generals to guard the city?"
Zhang Kai on the side saw the two complimenting each other, and he was worried and asked. If there are no capable generals to guard it, then the command is improper, and no matter how powerful the city is, it will be broken sooner or later.
"Haha~ There are three tiger generals in my famous mansion. The pioneer officer Suo Chao is nicknamed the vanguard. He wields a gold-dipped ax and is unparalleled in bravery."
"I also have two military commanders. One is called Tian Wang Li Cheng, and the other is called Da Dao Wen Da. Both of them have courage that no man can match."
"The other two lieutenants, Wang Ding and Zhou Jin, also have some abilities."
Liang Zhongshu nodded at the generals under his command. At this moment, he suddenly remembered Yang Zhi, the green-faced beast from before. He was also very skilled in martial arts. He heard that he was now a general under Wang Lun.
In addition, it turned out that there was a master in Daming Mansion, Jade Qilin Lu Junyi, but unfortunately he also defected to Wang Lun.
Otherwise, there are actually many masters in Daming Mansion.
"Hmm, this is Zhongshan Anping Jiedu Envoy Zhang Zhang. This time it was Zhang Jiedushi who escorted me to escape."
Gao Qiu arrived at Daming Mansion in embarrassment, with only one capable assistant left, Zhang Zhang, intending to show off in front of Liang Zhongshu.
"It turned out to be Zhang Jiedu. He was polite enough to submit his official post and asked Zhang Jiedu to serve as the city's guard."
Liang Zhongshu's eyes shone. From this point of view, this man also had some abilities, so he started to recruit him without hesitation.
Liang Zhongshu's side stepped up defenses against the Qi army and horses, actively prepared for war, and asked the capital for help.
Inside Jeju City.
"Your Majesty, in this battle, we defeated Gao Qiu's 150,000 horse and infantry navy, and surrendered 70,000 to 80,000. We eliminated the old and weak, and got 50,000 troops."
"He has countless supplies of food and fodder, and can fight five thousand horses."
"Beheaded six Jiedushi envoys, captured three Jiedushi envoys alive, and escaped one by one."
Han Qinhu held the book and was reporting to Wang Lun.
"Report~Gao Qiu fled to Daming Mansion, General Lin Chong asked the king to send troops."
Suddenly a soldier came to report.
"Your Majesty, Daming Mansion is one of the four capitals of the Song Dynasty. If we can capture Daming Mansion, then the door to Tokyo City will be open. Our army can move south at any time and take Kaifeng Mansion directly."
"However, the capital of Daming Prefecture has a high city and a deep pool. It was an important military town built by Song Renzong to defend against the Liao people from the north moving south. It is not easy to attack."
Wu Yong was excited but also a little worried. The great cause was expected to succeed.
Daming Mansion wants to fight, but how to fight is also a problem.
"Order Han Qinhu as general, mobilize 80,000 horse and infantry troops, and send troops to Damingfu in three days!"
Wang Lun thought for a moment and decided to seize the opportunity to pursue the victory without giving the Song Dynasty a chance to breathe.
