Cai You ran all the way and fled back to the Guangji army, and ordered the Guangji army to continue to collect the rout, and wait for the imperial court to send another leader to discuss the matter of conquering Liangshan, and he fled back to Tokyo on the grounds of recuperating from his injuries.

When Xu Jing, the envoy of Shangdang Taiyuan Jiedu, Yang Wen of Jiangxia Lingling Jiedu, and Xiang Yuanzhen of Langya Pengcheng Jiedu, led the troops to flee back to the Guangji Army, Cai You had already fled to Tokyo.

Zhou Nanxing, the governor of the Guangji Army, heard that the three of them had fled, so he handed over the reorganization of the army to the three of them.

Xu Jing and the three are also veterans of the battlefield, and while stepping up the rectification of soldiers and horses, they also sent scouts to guard against the Liangshan bandits.

When the Liangshan army had already arrived, he hurried into the city to see Zhou Nanxing, the governor of the Guangji army.

Zhou Nanxing was also shocked when he heard that the Liang soldiers were attacking, and hurriedly said: "The Liangshan thieves are menacing, what good strategies can the three generals have to break the thieves?" ”

Xiang Yuanzhen shook his head and said: "The army has lost two games in a row, and its morale is low, so I'm afraid it won't be able to resist the Liangshan bandits head-on." Moreover, the Liangshan thieves have stone cannons, and the large battalion outside the city cannot hold on, and please allow us to bring troops into the city, relying on the city to hold on, so that we have a chance of winning. ”

Zhou Nanxing also knew that they were now grasshoppers on a rope, and if the army outside the city collapsed, the Guangji army would not be able to hold it, so he had to agree to the three of them to lead the troops into the city, but asked the three to restrain the soldiers and not disturb the people in the city.

Only half a day after the army entered the city, the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang appeared under the city.

The army set out, opened it to see that there was a military flag of Xiang Yuanzhen on the head of the city, and said: "Prince, the city is Xiang Yuanzhen, the envoy of Langya Pengcheng Festival, I have some friendship with him, let me come forward and say a few words to him." ”

Chao Yong nodded and said, "Xiang Yuanzhen's bow and arrow are strong, General Zhang be careful." ”

"Yes"

Outside the range of the bow and arrow under the city, he shouted: "General Xiang, Cai You must have run away again, right?" ”

When the soldiers at the head of the city heard this, they shook again.

Zhizhou Zhou Nanxing hurriedly said: "Cai You is recuperating from his injuries in the Yamen, don't be bewitched by thieves." ”

"Let him out"

"Let him out"

"Let him out"

But the soldiers at the head of the city did not buy it, and shouted one after another.

Zhou Nanxing didn't expect these routs to be so bold, and when he saw the soldiers at the head of the city clamoring, as if they were mutiny, he couldn't help but be frightened.

Xiang Yuanzhen naturally knew that Cai You had already fled, but he didn't expect Zhou Nanxing to coax the soldiers like Li Congji, so he hurriedly shouted: "Lord Cai is seriously injured, and he has returned to Tokyo to recuperate. ”

Xiang Yuanzhen told the truth, and the soldiers gradually quieted down.

At this time, outside the city, he opened and shouted: "General Xiang, don't lie to everyone, I heard General Li say that Cai You just scratched some skins, how can there be any serious injuries." Everyone is paid to be a soldier, and Cai You has the most money. He cut a little bit of skin and fled back to Tokyo, where everyone had to stay here for the least amount of money. ”

Xiang Yuanzhen saw that the soldiers at the head of the city provoked by Zhang Kai became chaotic again, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Zhang Kai, if you want to attack the city, you will attack the city, otherwise don't blame me for not recognizing you with the bow and arrow in my hand." ”

Zhang Kai saw Xiang Yuanzhen pick up the bow and arrow, so he didn't say much, and shouted: "The days of the Song Dynasty have ended, and the Great Liang is prosperous, why don't General Xiang abandon the secret and turn to the light, so as not to cause the two armies to fight, and the soldiers to shed blood and sacrifice." ”

Zhou Nanxing listened, and hurriedly said to Xiang Yuanzhen: "General Xiang, don't listen to his nonsense, Liangshan is just a group of grass robbers, what a big deal." ”

Xiang Yuanzhen had seen the strength of the Liang soldiers and horses, and naturally knew that Liangshan was not comparable to ordinary grass cowards, but he did not have the intention of submitting to the Great Liang, and shouted: "We are the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, An Neng rebelled against the imperial court, and it is our duty to defend the land, that is, to fight to the last soldier, and we will never surrender." ”

Zhang Kai saw that Xiang Yuanzhen was so stubborn, and knew that it was useless to talk to him more, so he turned the horse and retreated.

Chao Yong originally had some love for Xiang Yuanzhen, but when he heard Xiang Yuanzhen say this, he couldn't help but be furious, and stepped forward and shouted: "Xiang Yuanzhen, Shi Wen spared your life before the previous battle, you don't want to be grateful, but you want to work hard for Zhao Ji and help him to abuse." If you want to be loyal to the Song Dynasty, I will allow you, and after the city is broken, you will be beheaded to show the public. Such a small city can be breached at the fingertips. The rest of the soldiers listened, after the city was broken, those who abandoned their weapons and surrendered were spared death, and those who resisted were killed. ”

When Xiang Yuanzhen heard Chao Yong say this, he couldn't help but be furious, and shot an arrow at Chao Yong.

"The light of the fireflies, how can it compete with the bright moon."

Chao Yong grabbed the sharp arrow and threw it into the ground. He picked up his Overlord Bow, took out an iron arrow, and shouted, "Eat me an arrow." ”

Zhou Nanxing on the side said with a smile: "This thief can't shoot arrows, and the archers in the city can only barely shoot there, and he can't shoot under the city." ”

Xiang Yuanzhen remembered the power of Chao Yong's previous arrow to injure Cai You, and hurriedly said: "My lord, retreat, this guy uses a divine arm bow, and his archery skills are also very good." ”

As he spoke, he had already seen a black light flying, and the target seemed to be Zhou Nanxing next to him.

Xiang Yuanzhen hurriedly pushed Zhou Nanxing to the ground, and almost at the same time, there was a "click", and Xiang Yuanzhen's military flag was broken in two.

"Ahh

Zhou Nanxing was caught off guard, was pushed to the ground by Xiang Yuanzhen, fell and screamed, just about to get up, he felt that the top of his head was dark, Xiang Yuanzhen recognized that the military flag fell, and the flagpole with the thickness of the child's arm was smashed on his head, and Zhou Nanxing, who was born as a literati, immediately fainted.

Xiang Yuanzhen knew at this time that Chao Yong was going to shoot the military flag that he recognized, and he couldn't help but secretly scold the thief for being cunning. Although Chao Yong used a divine arm bow, but the distance was very far, and it was already the end of the strong crossbow at the head of the city, and it was very easy for him to dodge, only unless he was a person from a civilian background, he would be shot if he reacted slowly, and he also thought that Chao Yong's target would be Zhou Nanxing, who was wearing an official uniform next to him. Unexpectedly, Chao Yong shot his military flag.

Chao Yong shot down Xiang Yuanzhen with an arrow to recognize the military flag, and then hit the horse and returned to the battle.

Xiang Yuanzhen was also startled when he saw that Zhou Nanxing, who was covered by the flag, and hurriedly tore open the flag, looking at a big bag on Zhou Nanxing's head, his eyes were closed, and he couldn't help but panic.

Although Zhou Nanxing's grade is lower than him, but the Song Dynasty emphasizes literature and light martial arts, if Zhou Nanxing dies like this, he will defend the city, and I am afraid that he will also be impeached by those civil officials, and I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the punishment of the imperial court.

"It's okay, I just passed out."

Xiang Yuanzhen stretched out his hand and pressed Zhou Nanxing's heart, feeling that there was still a heartbeat, so he was relieved, and hurriedly said to the two officials who came with Zhou Nanxing: "Lord Zhou has fainted, you can help him go back to the yamen to rest." ”

The two officials saw that the big war was about to start, and the arrows were flying everywhere on the city, and they wanted to slip away, but Zhou Nanxing didn't leave, and they didn't dare to slip away. Hearing Xiang Yuanzhen say this, he hurriedly picked up Zhou Nanxing and fled down the city.
