Song Dynasty

Chapter 161
Having said that, Hu Yantong had a look of admiration.

Looking at the steel whip in his hand and the iron armor on his body that are already full of cut marks, one can imagine the fierceness and danger of the battle just now.

As for Feng Changqing and the others, they were all dejected.

But Yue Yun said angrily: "You guys, show off your power on weekdays, and keep saying that our Sizhou army is number one in the world. Why, you are afraid when you meet a strong enemy today?"

Everyone bowed their heads.

"Of course, Hu Yantong, I'm not talking about you."

Hu Yantong smiled: "I know, brother Ying Xiang, you didn't mean me, this Yang is indeed a tough one, and I haven't encountered such a strong enemy for a long time. It's good that the surnamed Yang escaped, and I will fight against him in the future." Opportunity."

Yue Yun: "That's right, this is the unyielding Hu Yantong I know!" He sneered and said, "I'm young now, and I can't beat him. After a few years, what's the point of mere Yang Zaixing?"

"Okay, you're talking too much nonsense." Wang Shen shook the reins and rushed out: "Save some strength to chase the enemy. Just now a certain one has said that no enemy is allowed to escape."

He turned his head and looked towards the south. The distance was still hazy, with white smoke and yellow clouds billowing, and he couldn't see anything clearly.But I know that the Yangtze River is not far away, and those bastards on the river must have seen the hearty victory of Mr. Wang today, and heard the roar of my Sizhou tiger, right?
"I heard people say that Yang Zaixing wants to eat people, today I will show you gray grandchildren that I am also a beast that eats people!"

**************************************************
In Huanggang City, Si Xingyuan, the defense envoy of Huangzhou.

Yue Yun's wife, Miss Du, was holding the maid's hand with a pale face and screaming: "How is the war going, sister, sister, why haven't the scouts come back yet, how is Ying Xiang doing now?"

Her long nails had already dug into the servant girl's arm, and the pain made the servant girl's eyes glisten with tears again.

Early this morning, she got into the cart with An Niang, and together with the city's civil servants and village warriors, they made a gesture of retreating to the Qichun military camp, leading Zhang Yongjun and Yang Zaixing's troops to march into the ambush circle that had been set up earlier.

Along the way, the team pretended to be panicked, and scattered property and food everywhere along the way.

After all, it is a child's heart. Miss Du saw the team running in a mess, and she thought it was interesting and talked and laughed with An Niang.

But when Yang Zaixing caught the trick and Ti Dajun came after her, she was terrified.That's ten thousand enemies, gangsters who eat people but don't spit out their bones!If it falls into the hands of the enemy, as a weak woman, what a terrible fate she wants to wait for herself.

So, she screamed one after another, which made people panic and exacerbated the chaotic posture of the team.

Compared with her, An Niang sat there with a calm face, only holding a dagger in her hand, and although the orders she gave were short, they were well-organized.

The team walked around the city for half a day, and returned to the city in the afternoon according to the original plan.

On the other side, the scouts sent the news that Yang Zaixing had entered the ambush circle set up by Wang Shen.Today, the two armies are fighting in full swing.

Hearing this news, Miss Du giggled again: "Okay, okay, Bandit Yang is finally doomed this time. With the bravery of the Wang Junshi and the Sizhou Army, it's easy to kill this beast."

The other officials in the yamen also looked excited, overjoyed.

But An Niang still had a calm look on her face, and she kept ordering, ordering people to close the four gates, and leading the people to defend the city.In addition, everyone should go out to maintain order in the city, and when appropriate, act as a marching law, so as not to allow people with ulterior motives to take the opportunity to cause chaos.

For a moment, the whole city was in awe.

"Sister, the military envoy and Yingxiang will return to Desheng soon, why are you so nervous?" Miss Du couldn't help but say.

An Niang: "Be careful, there is no big mistake. I heard people say that this Yang Zaixing class is difficult to deal with. Even if he is ambush, this battle may not be easy."

Miss Du didn't take it seriously, she had completely relaxed, and even went back to the inner house to take a shower and change clothes.After running for a long time outside the dusty city, my body was so dirty that I felt uncomfortable to death.

After taking a shower, she had some snacks, and when she returned to the lobby, An Niang was still sitting there quietly with her hands folded in her sleeves.And Qin Sizhao was all dressed up, standing behind his mother solemnly.

In the hall, other civil servants were also sitting on chairs, not speaking, listening to something.

The news still came like flowing water, but it was all in one sentence: The military envoy and Cao Chengjun are fighting fiercely.

It's been almost a day, why is the battle still not over? Could it be... Mrs. Du suddenly became nervous.

Like the people in Xingyuan, the city was extremely quiet, perhaps all the soldiers and civilians in the city were just like them, listening quietly to the movement in the distance.Everyone knows the importance of this battle. Once Wang Shen is defeated, no one will survive due to the ferocity of Cao Cheng's bandit army.

In the ancient long night when there was no light pollution and the blackout was implemented, the sound of shouting and killing could be faintly heard, and the sky in the west was full of flames.

Finally, Miss Du couldn't help screaming.

"How, what else can I do?" An Niang raised her head and looked at her calmly: "Sisters and sisters, in a battle on the battlefield, you will either win the battle, or return with the body shrouded in horse leather. Either win or lose. This is a decisive battle for the survival of our army. The military envoy said a word: The so-called decisive battle is a gamble, betting on our lives, betting on the fate and future of our Sizhou army."

Miss Du yelled, "Sister, you mean that we may lose again, Ying Xiang, he, he, he may also..."

"Anything is possible." An Niang nodded solemnly: "Siblings and sisters, as girls of the Wu family, these are our fates. We have been standing on the battlefield since we married into generals."

"No, no, no, I don't want Ying Xiang to die, I want him to come back alive." Miss Du burst into tears and yelled: "Sister, it's all your fault, it's all your fault, Ying Xiang is only 13 years old, how can he go to the battlefield, You have to wait until you are older to talk about it!"

"How can you not die in a war? Anyone can die. How can you drink the wine of victory without experiencing pain and danger, and how can you still feel the joy of family reunion? A man may die as a soldier. When we get to that point, we can't give Disgraceful husband."

An Niang stood up and handed the dagger in her hand to Miss Du: "Here is this for you. I asked the craftsman to forge this sword when the military envoy forged the sword. The name is: Privet. If our army is defeated, you can do it yourself." Stop it. As for me, Si Zhao, I will trouble you when the time comes."

Qin Sizhao nodded: "Mother, my son knows."

Seeing An Niang's chastity, all the civil officials showed admiration on their faces.

Miss Du grabbed the dagger and threw it on the ground: "I don't want to die, I only want Yingxiang."

The sound was so sharp and sharp that it hurt everyone's ears.

Seeing her lose her composure, An Niang raised her brows, "What kind of dignity is it, you are the wife of a general, and you are not afraid of being laughed at?"

Below, Miss Du's father, Du Shuzai, couldn't stand it any longer, and scolded his daughter with a livid face, "Sit down, you don't look good."

Miss Du: "Daddy, Daddy, why are you talking about me?"

At this time, a huge cheer sounded from all over the city, "Military envoy, military envoy!"

"The envoy has returned in triumph!"

……

There was the sound of rumbling footsteps, and they saw that the gate of Xingyuan was opened, and amidst the brilliant lights, Wang Shen, Yue Yun, and Hu Yantong walked over with their sword handles in one hand and iron helmets in the other.

The whole Huanggang City seemed to tremble under their powerful steps.

Behind them, there are endless passionate men covered in iron armor and blood.

The civil servants stood up one after another, and Du Shu asked in a trembling voice, "Daosi, how...?"

Wang Shen responded loudly: "The [-] Cao Cheng bandit army will be completely wiped out today by the warriors under the command of XX!"
