Hearing the report from Wang Hongjun's soldiers, the corners of Wang Hong's eyes twitched a few times, and the other people in the big tent also showed surprise.In the past few days of temptation, Xin Wangjun had the upper hand. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have withdrawn!

Everyone turned their eyes to Wang Hong again, waiting for Wang Hong's answer.But Wang Hong sighed for a long time, his face became more and more ugly, and said: "Forget it, brother, Yang Feng. You don't have to go, the other party has already noticed and is about to retreat. We are too late." Now he But regret to death.

"General Zhong!" Hearing this shout, General Zhong turned his head and saw Zhang Xiaorang walking from behind. The two stood at the top of the city, looking out of the city together.Two days have passed in the blink of an eye since they were withdrawn from the outside of the city. In these two days, Hanyang Military City can be said to have passed the most difficult two days.Knowing that he had been tricked, Wang Hong led Wang Hongjun to launch an extremely crazy attack.

In this kind of extremely cruel siege battle, Zhang Xiaorang's wisdom will not be of much use, and everything will be left to General Zhong to wait for the future to command the battle.And General Zhong led the generals to live up to Zhang Xiaorang's trust, and insisted on persevering in Wang Hongjun's crazy attack.

It's just that after these two days of fighting, the soldiers defending the city suffered heavy losses. The original 5000 soldiers of the Faithful King Army lost thousands of people and nearly [-] were injured in the two days of fighting.Only less than [-] people were killed, and there were still fighting power, which showed the fierce fighting in the past few days.

Although Wang Hongjun lost a lot of people in order to attack Hanyang Military City, but Wang Hongjun had a total of [-] people.If this continues, I'm afraid that Hanyang Military City will be breached sooner or later.

Looking at the battlefield that was slowly receding outside the city, Zhang Xiaorang's expression was obviously very bad, and he asked General Zhong: "General Zhong, according to this situation, how long can we support now?"

General Zhong's complexion was not as ugly as Zhang Xiaorang's. He wiped away the blood stains on his face, lowered his head to estimate for a moment, and replied, "Judging from the current situation, we may not be able to delay tomorrow."

General Zhong's answer was actually Zhang Xiaorang's previous conjecture, but it was confirmed by General Zhong now.Zhang Xiaorang's face became gloomy again, and he said in a deep voice, "My lord's reinforcements haven't arrived yet, so I don't know if something happened?"

"Probably not." Hearing what Zhang Xiaorang said, General Zhong was also a little worried, but he quickly said: "My lord is going out this time in person, and I have Mr. Fu and the others to assist me. I heard that even General Lin and the others are accompanying the army. Nothing will happen to my lord and the others. Tomorrow at the latest, my lord, they will be able to arrive in time." General Zhong has an inexplicable trust in his lord's trust in Zhao Zhen.

In fact, Zhang Xiaorang didn't believe that any accidents would happen to the reinforcements, but the situation in Hanyang Military City was so critical now, if the reinforcements could not arrive in time, then Hanyang Military City would be in jeopardy.If it was another city, Zhang Xiaorang might lead his army to break through and abandon the city for the time being, but the geographical location of Hanyang Military City is the gateway from Huainan to Fuzhou and Ezhou, which is very important.If the Hanyang Military City is lost, not to mention that it will take a lot of troops to regain the city in the future, Wang Hongjun can even invade the hinterland of Fuzhou and Ezhou through the Hanyang Military City. It will be much more difficult to drive Wang Hongjun out at that time .Therefore, even if the entire army is wiped out, Zhang Xiaorang must defend Hanyang Military City.

"Master Zhang." At this time, General Zhong suddenly said: "If your reinforcements have not arrived by tomorrow, please ask Mr. Zhang to break out of the siege with your general and leave Hanyang Military City. Mr. Zhang is rare in the world." A wise man is also an indispensable help to adults, and must not be lost here."

General Zhong suddenly uttered such a sentence, which made Zhang Xiaorang stunned immediately. He stared at General Zhong with wide eyes. After a while, he finally regained his senses and asked, "General Zhong! What do you mean by that?" What do you mean? Let me escape, what about you?"

"Me?" General Zhong grinned suddenly, puffed up his chest, and said with his head held high: "I, Zhong, was originally a warrior. I believed in the king Qiantui as an enemy back then. Fortunately, Qiantose ignored the past and was willing to use me so much. General Zhong has nothing to repay in this life. Your lord entrusted me with the garrison of the Hanyang Military City. I am unable to fulfill my duties. At least, I have to use my own life to garrison the Hanyang Military City. The city is alive, but the city is dead ! Death!" General Zhong's last words were resolute and resolute.

"No." Regarding General Zhong's opinion, Zhang Xiaorang directly denied it, and shouted: "General Zhong! I, Zhang Xiaorang, am actually a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and steals life? Besides, General Zhong has extraordinary martial arts skills, especially now. If you can compete with the famous generals of the world, how can you sacrifice here? Even if you want to preserve your useful body, it should be General Zhong.”

"Master Zhang! Master Zhang!" At this moment, a shout suddenly came from behind the two of them, and they turned their heads at the same time, but it turned out to be Lord Zhizhou Wang.Since Mr. Wang took refuge in Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, he stayed in Fuzhou and Ezhou, assisting Zhang Xiaorang in the garrison and administration, except for one expedition with the army during the Xinzhou War.The defense against Wang Hongjun this time was also thanks to Mr. Wang's help, otherwise, General Zhong alone would not be able to handle it.

Seeing Mr. Wang running over eagerly, Zhang Xiaorang quickly asked, "Mr. Wang, what happened to the east of the city? Could it be a surprise attack by Wang Hongjun?" Since Wang Xin retreated to Hanyang Military City two days ago, Wang Hong never missed the opportunity, and directly ordered Wang Hongjun to surround Hanyang Juncheng and attack from all sides. In order to defend separately, Mr. Wang was sent to the east of the city to resist Wang Hongjun's attack.

The lord quickly ran to the two of them, but because he was in such a hurry just now, he put his hands on his knees, panting continuously, and couldn't even speak.After finally calming down his breathing, Master Wang raised his head, but revealed a surprised face, and shouted: "Master Zhang, Your Highness's reinforcements have arrived."

"Ah!" His lord's words immediately made Zhang Xiaorang and General Zhong jump up, and both of them exclaimed.Although both of them were ready to sacrifice just now, no one really wanted to die. Now that the reinforcements arrived, it meant that the outcome of this battle had been completely reversed. How could the two of them be unhappy.Immediately, Zhang Xiaorang took a step forward and shouted to Wang Zhizhou: "My lord, is it really your lord's reinforcements coming? Then where are the reinforcements now?"

Your Excellency's face was also full of excitement, but compared to Zhang Xiaorang and General Zhong who had just heard the news, your Excellency was obviously much calmer, and replied: "Mr. Zhang. It is indeed your reinforcements. Yes, we I saw General Lin with my own eyes! Now the reinforcements are in the east of the city, fighting against Wang Hongjun outside the city. How could Wang Hongjun be General Lin’s opponent? Now he is being killed by General Lin and fled in despair!"

Among the generals of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, the most obvious features are undoubtedly Lin Yuhu and Hua Zhonglong, the two black tower kings.If it was about someone else, Zhang Xiaorang might still worry about whether he had misread it, but if it was about Lin Yuhu, he would definitely not admit it.At this time, Zhang Xiaorang's heart could finally be put back in his stomach. These days, the nerves that had been tense all the time couldn't help but relax, but suddenly his feet softened, and his whole body slid on the ground involuntarily.Fortunately, General Zhong beside him had sharp eyesight and quick hands, so he helped Zhang Xiao up by himself, which frightened General Zhong and Lord Wang into panic.

Zhang Xiao made the old man blush, and with the support of General Zhong and Lord Wang, he finally stood up again, and said to Lord Wang: "Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry to the east of the city to meet His Highness' reinforcements."

Zhang Xiaorang's proposal was naturally approved by General Zhong and Lord Wang, and at this time, the news that the reinforcements had arrived had gradually spread throughout the Hanyang Army City, and all the soldiers who believed in the king cheered , The cheers almost shook the sky that had just entered the night.Immediately, Zhang Xiaorang took General Zhong and Lord Wang directly to the east of the city.

When the three of them came to the east of the city, they found that the soldiers who had been fighting for a whole day and were supposed to be resting filled the walls of the city, shouting non-stop towards the outside of the city. .There were even a few soldiers who picked up drumsticks on their own initiative and beat the war drum on the top of the city, apparently to cheer for the reinforcements outside the city.Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiao asked the three of them to look at each other and smile, instead of punishing the soldiers, the three of them pushed aside the soldiers in front, came to the side of the female wall, and looked out of the city.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao made the eyes of all three of them light up, and they became as excited as the surrounding soldiers. It turned out that Wang Hongjun, who had been besieging Hanyang Military City for two days, was not so much fighting with Lin Yuhu's army outside the city at this moment. When the reinforcements fought, it would be better to say that they were massacred one-sidedly.The reinforcements led by Lin Yuhu had less than 3 horses, but they killed the nearly 5 people who stayed outside the city and retreated steadily, leaving only corpses on the ground.

Your Excellency and General Zhong are both generals who have stayed in Fuzhou and Ezhou all year round. They are not very familiar with other people, so they only recognize Lin Yuhu who has the most obvious characteristics.And Zhang Xiaorang went to Jiangling to report government affairs almost every year. He saw it and immediately recognized that it was not only Lin Yuhu who was leading the reinforcements outside the city, but also Xie Xiaogui and Lexi.

Although Xie Xiaogui and Lexi are not as skilled as Lin Yuhu and other martial arts masters, they are also terrific generals under the tent of King Xin Zhao Zhen. The two of them plus Lin Yuhu, the three of them are like three arrows, leading Xin Wang The general Wang Hong's army was completely killed.

Zhang Xiaorang and the others on the top of the city were even more excited to see them, and quickly shouted to General Zhong: "General Zhong, since His Highness's reinforcements have arrived, why don't we go out of the city and fight the enemy with General Lin and the others?"

"Hahahaha! I wish you well." General Zhong laughed out loud when he heard this. Not only them, but even the soldiers on the left and right were very excited.For the past two days, they were trapped in the city by Wang Hongjun, and they felt aggrieved.Now that the reinforcements have arrived, why don't they want to rush out of the city to have a good fight with the enemy and vent their anger.

"My lord! My lord! There are reinforcements arriving from the west of the city! There are reinforcements! It's His Highness, His Highness's commander-in-chief." A general ran over quickly, but it was Cai, the general of Fuzhou and Ezhou who was in charge of the east of the city. building.

Compared to the cheers of Xin Wangjun in the city, in Wang Hongjun's barracks outside the city, Wang Hong and the others' faces were full of bitterness.At this moment, the two armies sent by Wang Hong to the east and west of the city had already retreated. The general in charge of the east of the city, Ma Cheng, had a broken arm and was now unconscious, while the general in charge of the east of the city, Liu Gao, was in a coma. Beheaded directly by the enemy, the soldiers and horses under their hands suffered countless casualties.Seeing Wang Xin's army coming from the east and west, Wang Hong's heart sank to the bottom. Needless to say, Wang Hong was completely defeated in this battle.

"Lord Wang Hong, we, we retreat!" Seeing this situation, Yang Feng, the general under Wang Hong's camp, advised Wang Hong bitterly.In fact, he was willing to end up like this in his heart. Among the [-] Wang Hong troops brought out by Wang Hong, nearly [-]% were his own veterans. In addition to the soldiers who had arrived before, he also cast a lot in this battle. hard work.If he just retreated like this, it would be a huge blow to his own team.

But if they don't withdraw, facing these soldiers and horses of King Xin's army, wouldn't it be necessary to lose all the soldiers and horses here?Not only Yang Feng thought this way, but other Wang Hongjun generals also had the same consideration. They are all like princes now, and their own interests should be put first in their hearts.

"Withdraw the troops." Looking at the eyes of Wang Hongjun's generals on the left and right, Wang Hong already knew that even if he refused to order the withdrawal, the generals in these Wang Hongjun would not obey his orders and fight desperately.In desperation, Wang Hong could only grit his teeth and gave this order to everyone around him.

Hearing Wang Hong's words, everyone was relieved, even Wang Hong's younger brother Wang Hu was no exception. After all, no one wanted to stay here to fight a battle that had no chance of winning.Immediately, all the generals of Wang Hong's army ran down quickly to convey Wang Hong's instructions.Soon, they took the soldiers and horses of their respective ethnic groups and prepared to retreat. As for other tents and the like, they were all discarded.

Finally, after such a busy schedule, the remaining less than [-] Wang Hongjun fled towards the northeast in a hurry before Xin Wangjun arrived.The escape of Wang Hongjun meant that the rebellion provoked by Wang Hong ended in failure.

However, this does not mean that the battle is over. Under the order of King Xin Zhao Zhen, Lin Yuhu, Xie Xiaogui, and Lexi led the Xin Wang Army for a short rest in Hanyang Military City, and soon brought soldiers and horses Killed towards Wang Hongjun, and successfully recovered all the towns on Huainan West Road.

Wang Hong, who suffered a big defeat in Hanyang Juncheng, only persisted for half a month before he was captured by the pursuing army of Xin Wang.Dozens of members of Wang Hong's family were beheaded by Lin Yuhu, including Wang Hong's team, as well as Cao Cheng, Yang Feng and others.

After dealing with Wang Hong's affairs temporarily, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen hurriedly led the army down to the southwest and returned to Jiangling.The reason why Xin Wang Zhao Zhen chose to return to Jiangling so eagerly was because of a secret letter from Jiangling: Your Majesty Zhao Gou is dead.

Yongxin is located at the junction of Wugong Mountain and Jizhou. According to the division of power, this place should be under the jurisdiction of Wugong Mountain of the King Xin Army.However, in the current Yongxin City, the soldiers and horses stationed are the soldiers and horses of the Liu family army from Jizhou.

Just a few days ago, the Liu family's army suddenly dispatched troops to attack Yongxin.Because the incident happened so suddenly, even the Xinwang army stationed at Wugong Mountain didn't seem to notice this sudden change in Yongxin.And Liu Jiajun just captured Yongxin and then quietly, there is no sign of marching towards Wugong Mountain.

The Liu family army in Yongxin completely concealed their identities, and even the Xinwang army flag flying above Yongxin City did not change. From the outside, it is impossible to tell that Yongxin has changed hands.

And the commander who led the Liu family army to attack Yongxin this time was Liu Tong, the monarch of the Liu family army.Liu Tong was walking back and forth anxiously in the hall of Yongxin City Shoufu at the moment, while on the seat next to Liu Tong, as Liu Tong's most trusted subordinate and brother, Zhao Guang was the old god drinking tea on the ground , turning a blind eye to Liu Tong dangling in front of him.

After walking back and forth for a long time, Liu Tong finally couldn't bear it any longer. He turned his head to Zhao Guang and shouted, "Zhao Guang, it's been more than ten days. Why hasn't that His Majesty Zhao Gong appeared yet? Will he appear?" What happened?"

Although it has been several months since Liu Jiajun succeeded Liu Jiajun as the head of Liu Jiajun, Liu Tong's impatience has obviously not changed, but Liu Tong has an extra majesty as a superior.Seeing Liu Tong's aura, Zhao Guang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a satisfied smile, and then said: "Liu Tong, don't worry, until now, you haven't seen Xin Wangjun, it means that we and His Majesty The plan was not discovered by Xin Wangjun. All we have to do next is to wait."

Although Liu Tong is the leader of the Liu family army, because of the relationship between Zhao Guang and Liu Tong, as long as no one else is present, the two are still as affectionate as before.However, if there are other people present, Zhao Guang will still abide by the etiquette of being a courtier, and this is also for Liu Tong's sake.

Having known Zhao Guang for so many years, Liu Tong naturally trusted Zhao Guang's judgment, and when he nodded, his face softened a little.But it was only for a short while. After a short while, Liu Tong regained his solid state and began to walk back and forth in the hall non-stop.

In fact, it is no wonder that Liu Tong is so impatient. According to the previous agreement with Fan Zongyin, Fan Zongyin should have brought His Majesty to Yongxin to meet him as early as ten days ago, but until now, he has not seen half of His Majesty. shadow.

With Liu Jiajun's current strength, he is completely incapable of provoking the behemoth Xin Wangjun.So Liu Tong is now taking a big risk in attacking Yongxin.If the trusted king's army gets the news, not only will Liu Tong flee back to Jizhou or even Luzhou in despair, but the Liu family's army is likely to be attacked and retaliated by the trusted king's army.Although Liu Jiajun, who had exchanged territory with Peng You in the past few months, finally regained a lot of strength, he still couldn't bear the consequences.

"Zhao Guang, do you think that old fox Fan Zongyin is lying to us?" Liu Tong finally couldn't bear it again, turned to look at Zhao Guang and asked, "Could they just use us as a cover, but actually want to Go to Xia Cheng?"

Lifting his head with a wry smile on his face, Zhao Guang looked at Liu Tong in front of him and sighed secretly. Usually, Liu Tong is not this kind of mother-in-law. The plan this time is really too important to Liu Jiajun.

If he can welcome His Majesty into Jizhou, then Liu Tong will become the world's top vassal army.In the name of His Majesty, Liu Tong can formally call on the heroes of the world to crusade against his enemies.Although Zhao Gou's prestige has gradually weakened over the years, the world is still ruled by the Song Dynasty after all, and Zhao Gou is still the emperor of the Song Dynasty.As long as His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty exists for one day, the influence of the Song Dynasty will not be eliminated.

Don't look at Zhao Guang who seems calm on the outside, but how can Zhao Guang be calm in his heart when encountering such a thing?But in front of Liu Tong, Zhao Guang still had to maintain a calm attitude.Otherwise, even Zhao Guang would be in the same mess, why shouldn't Liu Tong jump up and down in a hurry?
