Yang Yan couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw it in the back, Zhong Ziang was so good that he had learned his own method of defending the city. However, he would not fail to prevent this hand, and immediately said: "Liu Fuwu, Wu Xi." ”

(The two of them were watching the battle behind Yang Yan with the commanders of other armies, the soldiers and horses, and the regimental training envoys, and when they heard Yang Yan shouting at them, they immediately stepped forward and said, "The last general." ”

Yang Yan said: "Each of you will lead a thousand armored cavalry troops of the Xuan Feng Army, outflank them from the left and right sides, and meet the enemy army. But be sure not to get too close to the walls. ”

The two agreed, each got on his horse, and led his troops out. At this time, on the battlefield, the Song army and the Manichaean army were inseparable, and two armoured cavalry armies entered from the two flanks of the Manichaean army, which suddenly changed the situation of the battle.

Since the Song army began to send troops, there have not been many opportunities for the selection of the front army, but as long as there is an occasion for the selection of the front army to fight, it will definitely play a pivotal role. This time was no exception.

The war horses galloped and the spears pierced, as if they were two unstoppable dragons, constantly devouring the Manichaean army that stood in front of them. The sharp blades of the spears made a sharp sound that scraped against the air, and the soldiers of the Manichaean army fell like grass and trees in a raging wind. The horses' hooves splattered with blood-soaked dirt and continued on the corpses of the Manichaean army. In the blink of an eye, the Manichaean army was thrown into chaos.

Zhao Cao was on the wall of Guizhou City and said to Zhong Ziang: "King, it seems that the Song army has already prepared for the scriptures, and our brothers are afraid that they will not be able to do it, so why don't you send some more people out to support." ”

Zhong Ziang shook his head and said: "The Song army has not used all its troops, if we increase our troops, the Song army will also increase its troops accordingly, and it will become a decisive battle between the two armies, and now is not the time for a decisive battle with the Song army." Summons, collect troops. ”

Zhong Zhenxian used a pair of iron halberds in his forehand at this time, and fought hard with the Song army. His martial arts were far superior to others, and even the heavily armored Song army could hardly defeat him, and he stabbed five or six Song soldiers to death in a row. However, as soon as Song Jun saw that a single horse was not his opponent, he immediately came up with seven or eight people and surrounded Zhong Zhenxian to fight, Zhong Zhenxian was brave, and he couldn't stand the Song army, not to mention that he was not good at fighting on horses, and he was shot three times in a row, but fortunately, it was not a fatal position.

At this time, the gong sounded at the head of the city, urging the Manichaean army to withdraw its troops. Zhong Zhenxian also wanted to go back, swung his halberds hard, and stabbed two more Song soldiers to death, but he was shot in the left arm again, his hand was weak, and the iron halberd in his left hand fell to the ground. Seeing that his life was in danger, fortunately, at this time, Chen Ziming urged the horse to arrive, broke through a gap, and fled to Guizhou City.

At this time, Liu Fuwu also urged the horse to arrive, and with a wave of the spear in his hand, he intercepted Chen Ziming, and the two struck each other with guns and swords, and it was difficult to solve the problem for a while. On the other side, Wu Xi also killed and stopped Zhong Zhenxian. Zhong Zhenxian's left hand was weak, so he could only hold a single halberd in his right hand, so as not to fight with Wu Xi, he was clumsy on the left and right, and he couldn't resist it.

Chen Ziming was in a hurry, but he was forced by Liu Fuwu and couldn't get rid of it for a while. Moreover, when fighting on horseback, long weapons often have an advantage over short weapons. Moreover, Liu Fuwu's marksmanship is exquisite, his riding skills are proficient, and he is also a fierce opponent. In a hurry, Chen Ziming was in a hurry, and slashed his long sword on the back buttocks of the war horse. The horse was in pain and immediately rushed towards Liu Fuwu desperately, but Chen Ziming flipped over and fell off the horse. got rid of Liu Fuwu, and with a vertical figure, he killed Zhong Zhenxian and Wu Xi.

Over there, Wu Xi originally thought that he had no power to kill Zhong Zhenxian, but suddenly saw Chen Ziming hit down in the air, and the long sword in his hand sprinkled thousands of sword shadows, and in desperation, he had to let Zhong Zhenxian go and parry with a horizontal knife. Zhong Zhen first rode away on a pulling horse.

With the sound of "dang", the swords struck, Wu Xi's whole body was shocked, he shook twice on the horse, and almost fell off the horse. And Chen Ziming borrowed the power of the shock to turn over, jumped onto Zhong Zhenxian's horse, and fled.

When Liu Fuwu and Wu Xi saw the Manichaean army fleeing back to the city, they did not chase after them, but only intercepted some of the remnants of the Manichaean army outside the city. As soon as these people saw the momentum, they surrendered one after another. Yang Yan saw that the time was almost up, so he ordered the herald to withdraw his troops.

In this battle, the Manichaean army lost more than 5,000 killed and captured, while the losses of the Song army were less than 500.

At night, Lin Yongxiang's home.

Lin Yongxiang, Huang Wenbing, Sun Ji, Jiang Wenju and other four people gathered together secretly. Discuss Lin Qian's request to bring Yang Yan back.

Huang Wenbing said with a bitter face: "If you want us to respond in the city and help the Song army open the city gate, this is also too difficult." Didn't Yang Yan deliberately make things difficult for us? ”

Jiang Wenju said: "That's also something that can't be helped, he also has to explain to the imperial court, but the small credit for keeping Zhong Ziang in Guizhou is really unreasonable, he must make a little great merit, and he can say something about it on the imperial court." ”

Sun Ji said: "But this is too risky, and if you don't get it right, you will take your life." Didn't Yang Yan say that just by virtue of our credit for keeping Zhong Ziang in Guizhou, we could be exempted from the death penalty? I think that's good, it's good to stay alive. ”

Jiang Wenju glanced at Sun Ji with disdain and said, "Is it enough to be exempted from the death penalty?" Go back and be a commoner again, and then anyone can come and kick you. What's the point. There is a saying that "wealth is sought in danger." "If you want to continue to be an official, don't take a little risk. Yang Yan is not wrong in what he said, after the chaos was quelled, there were no less than 20 vacancies in the armies of the prefectures in Guangxi. They were all sponsored by Yang Yan to the imperial court. I think it's worth the risk. ”

He was the youngest of the four, in his early thirties. It turned out that he was just a magistrate on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, and if he followed the normal procedure, he would have to stay up for five or six years to be promoted to the level of the military state, and now the opportunity was in front of him, so of course he wanted to take a risk. And several other people also know that there is still a big difference between being an ordinary person, retiring as an official, and ordinary people. Although a few of them are only local officials, the so-called current officials are not as good as the current management, and they have also shown a prestige in their own one-third of an acre of land for several years.

But Yang Yan's request was too dangerous, so the others were a little hesitant. Huang Wenbing said: "I think it's still necessary to think long-term." ”

Jiang Wenju was a little anxious, and said: "Today's battle situation is known to several people, with or without our help, it is not difficult for the Song army to break through Guizhou, if the Song army breaks through Guizhou, we just want to make meritorious contributions, but I am afraid that there will be no chance." He turned to Lin Yongxiang again: "Lord Lin, you can also say something." ”

A few of them are in the Great Song Dynasty, Lin Yongxiang has the highest official position, so they have invisibly become their leaders, hearing Jiang Wenju say this, Lin Yongxiang is also a little embarrassed, and said: "It's not that I don't want to do it, it's just that a few of us are civil officials, it's okay to play with a pen, what can we do with a knife and a gun?" Besides, how can the four of us open the city gates? ”

Jiang Wenju said with a smile: "This matter is good, there are no dozens of servants under the hands of a few of us, and there are two or three hundred together, so there are a lot of people, and it may not be possible to catch Zhong Ziang, but it is not difficult to open the city gate." ”

Lin Yongxiang was still a little disturbed, and said: "There are some people under our hands, but there are few henchmen, are they willing to work for us?" ”

Jiang Wenju said: "This is easy to do, now everyone can see that Manichaeism is almost over, and there is still a way out for the Great Song Dynasty." And there is a way that there must be brave men under the heavy reward, as long as they take out the money, they will naturally sell their lives. Let's not talk darkly, you have been an official in Manichaeism for a few months, and you must have made a lot of money, and you should spit out a little. As long as there is an official to do it in the future, are you still afraid that you won't be able to get it back? ”

Lin Yongxiang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do it." He looked at Sun Ji and Huang Wenbing again and said, "What about the two of you?" ”

Sun Ji said: "I will do it too, and this time I will let it out." ”

Huang Wenbing hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll do it too." ”
