Yin Shibiao, who was on the side, shook off the blood stains on the spear and said, "Senator Yang, what's wrong, I think we are defending very well, and the Manichaeans can't attack the wall at all."

Yang Yan said: "I don't think the Manichaeans seem to be attacking with all their might, otherwise their attacks wouldn't be so weak, at least I haven't seen a master participate in the attack." It's very condensed, there must be some trickery in it. ”

Yin Shibiao spat heavily on the ground, wiped the blood and sweat on his face, and said: "But it has been more than two hours, why the garrison of Guangzhou has not yet arrived, these free cubs, the movement is really slow, and the sky will be bright if it goes on like this." That Zhao Tong judged whether he would run away. ”

Yang Yan said: "I think he's not bad, he shouldn't be, and there are two people, Huang Taisong and Huang Taibai, who follow him." But although Yang Yan said this, he didn't know what would happen in his heart, who knew what would happen in the middle of this?

At this time, Ling Xiang suddenly hurried over and said, "Brother Yang, Zhao Tong sentenced them to come back." ”

When Yang Yan heard this, he hurriedly jumped off the wall and said, "They are there, have they transferred soldiers?" ”

At this time, he saw Zhao Ruyu in front of Yang Yan in three steps and two steps, and said: "Senator Yang, the garrison department has sent troops, we will rush back first, they will arrive later, please work hard to hold the state office." ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "That's good, Zhao Tong sentenced you to work hard, let's rest first." ”

Zhao Ruyu shook his head and said: "I'm not tired yet, now is the time when the situation is urgent, I am the general judge of this state, how can I leave, is there anything that can be arranged for me to do, Senator Yang commanded." ”

Yang Yan nodded, this Zhao Ru is really a good official, thought about it, and said: "Zhao Tongju, you go and accompany Cheng Zhizhou, I am most worried about him." ”

Zhao Ruyu nodded, he also knew that Cheng Yuanzhou had to be stabilized no matter what at this time, and said, "Okay, I'll go right away." ”

At this time, I suddenly heard a ** voice: "Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming." ”

Yang Yan jumped up to the house, only to see a little fire in the distance, more and more, bigger and bigger. Then you can see countless black shadows moving, and the troops of the Guangzhou Garrison Division have finally arrived. Ling Xiang, Huang Mingxia, Yin Shibiao and others also jumped on the roof, beside Yang Yan, looking at Song Jun who was getting closer and closer from afar, everyone was happy.

Yin Shibiao let out a sigh of relief and said, "These bunnies have finally arrived, now it's okay." Saying that, he took off his helmet and was about to say a few words, when he suddenly saw Yang Yan's solemn expression, he couldn't help but be a little strange, and said, "Senator Yang, what's wrong with you, aren't you happy that reinforcements are coming?" At this time, Ling Xiang and Huang Mingxia also found that Yang Yan's face was wrong, and they couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Yang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Did you find it, the Manichaean Sutra stopped attacking, and they didn't attack with all their strength just now, but they were just worried about blocking us in the state government and not letting us go to support the garrison." I now understand their goal, it turned out that they had defeated the garrison first, and then they would attack the state government with all their might. ”

The name of the soldiers and horses in Guangzhou is Li Bin, and Zhao Ruyu was almost three shifts when he arrived at the garrison division. Li Bin came from his sleep and learned that the Manichaeans had entered Guangzhou and were attacking the state government, and he was also startled, and suddenly his sleepiness disappeared, and he hurriedly gathered people. There were more than 6,000 men and horses in the garrison, but at this time the soldiers were also asleep, and it took a lot of effort to call them to drink, and then it took a lot of time to assemble and reassemble, and as a result, they were busy until the fourth watch before they set off. When I arrived near the state office, most of the fourth watch had passed.

Li Bin rode on a horse, watching from a distance that the state government was brightly lit, and the sound of shouting and killing kept coming from that side, as if the state government had not been breached. Li Bin hurriedly urged the soldiers to leave quickly, so that they could rush to the state government to relieve the siege.

At this time, it is natural that every house in the city is closed, and every household closes its windows. Although there were no pedestrians on the streets, how wide the streets in the city could be, only seven or eight people could walk side by side, and the queue had to be stretched longer and longer, until it went four or five miles in succession. But at this time, it seems that you can cross two more streets to reach the state office. The soldiers were all running a little panting, and Li Bin was still urging: "Hurry up, keep up, it's coming soon." ”

Before his words fell, he heard the sound of "huh, huh, huh", and from the rooftops on both sides of the street, countless tiles and stones mixed with arrows smashed down on the top of Song Jun's head. The Song army was unprepared, some people were smashed to the head and bleeding, some people were killed by arrows, and the sound of "crackling" and "ouch" immediately rang out. The team immediately became chaotic, crowded, trampled, and many people were squeezed down.

Li Bin also suffered two tiles on his body, but fortunately, he was wearing armor, so he didn't feel any pain, but shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't mess up, don't mess up, face the battle, meet me to fight." ”

It's a pity that the enemy is hiding on the rooftops on both sides, and the Song army can't reach it, so they can only be beaten. At this time, another tile happened to hit Li Bin's helmet, although he was not injured, but it also shook Li Bin's brain "buzzing". Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Bin was about to order a temporary retreat first, when he suddenly found that a team of about 100 people appeared in front of him, and he was rushing towards his side. Li Bin suddenly perked up, we couldn't fight on the roof, but since there were some people coming down, not to mention that there were only more than 100 people, so we wouldn't be afraid. Li Bin waved the spear in his hand: "Brothers, rush." ”

Ling Xiang said: "There are five or six thousand garrisons in Guangzhou, although there are more Manichaeans than we expected, but at most there are only more than a thousand people, how can they defeat the garrison?"

Yang Yan shook his head and said: "Soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, and fighting is about time, location, and people, not the number of people can win." You see, the garrison is killed from one way, which is really a big mistake, if I were to lead the army, I would definitely divide the soldiers and horses into five ways, or even ten ways. ”

Yin Shibiao put on his helmet again, and said puzzledly: "Yang Shenyi, I don't understand what you said, try to concentrate your own forces as much as possible, and find a way to disperse the enemy's forces is the way to use troops, if you divide your own forces into five roads, wouldn't the ten roads cause your own forces to be scattered, just so that Manichaeism has a chance to break them one by one." ”

Yang Yan said: "Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, whether the troops are concentrated or dispersed depends on the situation on the battlefield, and it is not always better to concentrate troops." For example, now, when fighting in the city of Guangzhou, the streets are narrow, and all the men and horses are gathered together, and the battle cannot be fully carried out, so that it is useless to say 5,000 men and horses, even 50,000 men and horses, and they can only be beaten passively and mess up. Therefore, in such a situation, it is better to scatter the men and horses into the streets and attack the Manichaeans from many places, so that they will lose sight of one or the other, and even if they are broken one or two roads, it will not affect the overall situation. ”

Blood splashed, and two Song soldiers fell to the ground, Li Bin also saw that his heart was only furious, the Manichaean people were really terrible, the big man who made the crescent cane led by him, a tall man, and an arm, was just like a monster, he killed dozens of Song soldiers in a row, and none of the Song soldiers could block his blow at all, and when he killed there, there would be a bloody storm of Zhao. Blood splattered all over him, and it looked even more hideous and terrifying. In front of such an opponent, Li Bin's courage melted like ice and snow in the sun.

Although there were only more than 100 people led by Zhao Cao, many of them were Manichaean disciples and had high martial arts, while although the Song army had a large number, because of the narrow streets, only five or six people could take over the battle at a time, so the Song army's numerical advantage could not be brought into play at all. In addition, there were first-class masters like Zhao Cao in the Manichaean army, and there were constantly tiles, stones, and arrows flying on the roofs on both sides, so the Song army could only retreat.

But the Song army's ranks were too long, the front army and the Manichaean army fought, the rear army did not know, but still continued to advance, which also made the Song army's retreat route in front blocked, unable to retreat, and several side alleys were also guarded by Manichaean soldiers, often only a dozen Manichaean troops could hold an alley, so that the Song army could not pass. I wanted to hide in the houses on both sides, but every family also closed the door tightly, and no one dared to open it, and I couldn't wait to take out all the things in the house to hold the door, and Song Jun couldn't go in.

As a result, the Song army in front retreated, and the Song army in the back advanced, so dense on a long street, constantly being squeezed, and guarding against tiles, stones, and arrows flying down from the air. Many Song troops were squeezed to the ground, trampled on each other, pushed each other, and suffered many casualties. Although Li Bin was riding on a horse, he was also hugged in the middle of the Song army, and he could only shout desperately: "Don't panic, don't mess up, be positive, stay positive."

But at this time, no one listened to his command at all, and let Li Bin shout through his throat, the front was still retreating, and the back was still advancing, and the more crowded it became. Suddenly, Li Bin only felt a pain in his back, a sharp arrow pierced through the armor, and hit him in the back of the heart.
