After the Manichaean reinforcements joined the battle group, the situation slowly fell to the side of the Manichaean army, and it was Fu Yan and Wen Fu who stepped on the city wall, and the strength of the Manichaean army at the head of the city increased greatly. Several gaps were opened in a row, and other soldiers went to the city one after another, on the other hand, Ling Xiang and ** Mingxia and other Gu warriors also fought desperately, not giving an inch. The two sides fought to the death in the city.

Swords whizzed by, people roared in rage, blood flashed and saw the soldiers killed in battle, and the broken corpses were constantly accumulating, or falling from the walls like fallen leaves. The living warriors are still fighting to the death on the corpses of their comrades and enemies. Blood stained the walls red, and the blood and heat in the air continued to increase.

Zhong Ziang has been watching from the city, although the battle is fierce, he is finally a little relieved now. Although the losses of the Manichaean army in this battle were not small, Bi Jing was now slowly beginning to gain the upper hand. And the resistance of the Song army seems to be almost to the limit. After two or three rounds of attacks, the Song army will definitely not be able to resist. In any case, it is possible to capture Yokoyama today.

At this moment, Zhong Ziyu suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the side and rear, and turned his head to look, only to see that his left rear was dusty, and a cavalry army had killed him.

Zhong Ziang couldn't help but be taken aback, "The cavalry from here and there?" He learned the lesson of Zhong Zhenxian's failure last time, no matter how fierce the siege was, he always left five hundred people to guard the door, just because he was afraid that the Song army would suddenly kill from the city, but he never dreamed that the Song army would kill from his flank and rear.

This is exactly what Yang Yan led all the five hundred and thirty-seven cavalry troops of Hengshan Lili out of the east gate, went around to the rear of the Manichaean side, and directly sowed into the fierce siege battlefield.

Haidong Qing under Yang Yan's seat has not been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has long been suffocated. At this time, he was even more excited, roared repeatedly, kicked back his hooves, and rushed into the battle group. Yang Yan's long knife danced out?*チvanadium stunned? A few Manichaean soldiers died in a different place without understanding what was going on. The Song army that followed behind also entered the battle group, although this cavalry could not be compared with the Diefeng army led by Yang Yan before, but the sharp long ** stabbed out violently with the help of the momentum of the war horse, and the Manichaean army still had to fall as if it was cut **.

Pierced by spears, swept down by war horses, the dust raised by the horses' hooves obscured the sky, the flashing light of knives and spears, sounded, and blood gushed out from the cut **, dyeing the earth outside the city red. First, the Manichaean army was defenseless and unprepared, and secondly, they had never experienced the powerful onslaught of cavalry. Therefore, although the Song army only had more than 500 horsemen, it still caused a great mess of the Manichaean army.

Zhong Ziyu hurriedly sent Zhao ** to lead his men and horses to intercept the Song army, but the Manichaean army was already in chaos, and the Manichaean army also lacked the experience to deal with this kind of scene, and the reinforcements could not control the chaotic situation, but made the battlefield even more chaotic. When Ling Xiang and ** Mingxia in the city saw it, they immediately opened the city gate and sent troops to kill from the city. The men and horses rushed back and forth, trampled on each other, and lost a lot.

In the battle on the city wall, after the advantage changed hands several times, it finally returned to the side of the Song army. The Manichaean army, which had been sent to the city to help, was once again caught in a bitter battle at the head of the city. The Song army was in great spirits and fought even more desperately, driving the Manichaean army out of the city.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in his body, and he couldn't get support from the city, Chen Ziming knew that the general situation was gone, and after slashing and killing two Song soldiers with his sword, he said to Zhong Zhenxian: "Zhenxian, the city can't stand it, let's go down to the city quickly, it's too late." ”

Zhong Zhenxian also nodded, he used all his strength at this time, and he was injured in many places, knowing that if he didn't go down to the city as soon as possible, if he was entangled by Ling Xiang or others again, there would be only one way to die. With a wave of the iron halberd, he stabbed another Song soldier to death, and quickly retreated to the edge of a battlement, and said, "****, let's go down." As he spoke, he turned over and jumped down from the city. Because his Hengshan city wall is not high, with his light skills, he can jump directly down.

Chen Ziming also swung his sword and slashed, repelled the encirclement of the Song army, retreated to the edge of the battlement, turned over and jumped off the city. Several other Manichaean leaders, Li Jin, Chen Wei and others, also found a gap and jumped out of the city. But only those soldiers suffered, they didn't have such good light skills, they could jump directly into the city, either die in the city, or jump off the city and fall to their death.

Zhong Ziang saw that the general situation was gone, and he was no longer able to attack the city, and saw that his son and several main leaders had returned, so he had to order the troops to be collected. When Yang Yan saw the Manichaean army withdrawing, he did not chase after him, but just gathered the Song army and entered the city.

In this battle, the Manichaean army lost more than 4,000 troops, most of the wooden ladders for the siege were destroyed, and two banner envoys Xu Wu and Liao were killed in the battle, which can be regarded as heavy losses. The Song army also lost seven or eight hundred people, and since it was a cavalry army, nearly two hundred horsemen were dismantled. However, he finally saved Yokoyama.

************

"Lord Yang, the Manichaean army has withdrawn, and all the Manichaean troops outside the city have withdrawn." Dong Yuan hurriedly walked into the lobby, and before anyone came in, he said excitedly and loudly.

"Oh, are they really all withdrawn?" Yang Yan was slightly stunned, since Zhong Ziyu led the army to Hengshan, the two sides have engaged in several fierce siege battles in the past ten days. Although the Manichaean army attacked the head of Hengshan Fortress several times, under the organization and dispatch of Yang Yan, the defenders in Hengshan Fortress still repelled the attacks of the Manichaean army again and again.

The losses of the Manichaean army amounted to more than 15,000 men, and the losses of the defenders in the Yokoyama fortress were not small, numbering more than 3,500 people. The cavalry, in particular, after repeated sorties, now had only one hundred and sixty-two horsemen left. However, in the past ten days, the five families of the Su clan have mobilized more than 2,000 people one after another, which has made the defenders in Hengshan no obvious reduction. Moreover, Yang Yan sent seven or eight people in a row to ask for help from the envoy of Jingjiang Mansion, but there was no knot, and no one replied to the order, and I don't know if the letter was delivered.

Today happened to be the end of the January deadline for him and Chung Ziang's bet. Yesterday, Lai Wenzheng, one of the five scattered people sent by Zhong Zi Pleiades, entered Hengshan to claim that since the Manichaeans did not capture Hengshan within a month, this bet was a loss for Zhong Zi Pleiades, so the Manichaean army decided to withdraw its troops and was willing to make peace with the Servants. However, Yang Yanzhi didn't take it seriously, but he didn't expect that the Manichaean army would really withdraw today.

But of course Yang Yan won't believe it?* Ying Hexian sac leech Because the Manichaean army is determined to win the entire Yongzhou region, it will never withdraw because it loses the bet. There must have been another reason for the withdrawal now, perhaps the Song army was attacking elsewhere in the Manichaean jaw, or it may have been deliberately withdrawn so that the defense of Hengshan Lili could relax its vigilance.

Therefore, Yang Yan said: "Dong Zhizhai, although the Manichaean Sect has withdrawn its troops, the guards in Hengshan Qiang must not be slackened, because they may come again at any time, you give special orders, and the guard work must still be strengthened, and you must not be careless." ”

Dong Yuan agreed, but didn't go down, as if he had something to say, but he stopped talking.

Yang Yan saw it and said, "Dong Zhizhai, do you have anything else?"

Dong Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, I'm afraid that this order will not be passed on." ”

Yang Yan was stunned and said, "Dong Zhizhai, what did you say this?" ”

Dong Yuan only said: "Lord Hui, when the official came back just now, the soldiers of the Servant clan who were originally guarding the city wall were all gone. Later, when I asked, I learned that they had heard that the Manichaeans had withdrawn their troops, and that the battle had been over, and that they should go back. So they all went back to collect their luggage. What do you think you can do, my lord? ”

Yang Yan was also taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't expect that as soon as the Manichaean army withdrew, the morale of the army in the city began to disperse. Now in Hengshan, the regular Song army is less than 1,000 people, if all the servants withdraw, once the Manichaeans return to the army, with these horses, they will not be able to hold Hengshan at all. Forget about the other four families, is it difficult to judge that even the ** family has to be withdrawn? Hurriedly said: "Dong Zhizhai, you go and inform the heads of the five families of the Gu clan to come here and discuss something." ”

Dong Yuan agreed, and just as he was about to go down, an errand came in to report: My lord, now the heads of the five families of the servant clan are outside, and they want to see your lordship. ”

Yang Yan said, "Invite them in." ”

Not long after, **Mingxia, Zhou Wanpeng, Ji Chengda, Wei Huang, Nong Qingquan and other five people? Zhou Wanpeng said: "Lord Yang, now that the Manichaean army has withdrawn, I don't think there is any need for us to continue to defend Hengshan. Now the **** of our five families is home, so I want to leave here and go back to the place where we originally lived. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, **Mingxia said coldly: "Master of the Zhou family, it is your Zhou family that wants to withdraw, don't bring our ** family with you." Our ** family has never said that we are going to leave Hengshan, everything will be decided after listening to Lord Yang's opinion. ”

Yang Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard ** Mingxia say this, it seems that the **** family is still on his side. However, the heads of the other three families did not speak, but looking at their expressions, they obviously agreed with Zhou Wanpeng's opinion.

Yang Yan said: "Then, what about the opinions of the other three?"
