Li Chang was also unsure, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Don't worry, Thief Xu is definitely at the end of his strength, and good news will come soon..."
"Hey, I hope so..." Li Xian said with a sad face: "With this battle going like this, there really is no one left..."
"Report!" The loud voice of a scout rang out from the city again, bringing the real-time battle situation: "Mr. Yang Ge personally led the army up!"
"You don't have to worry now," Li Chang said happily after hearing this: "With Mr. Ge personally on hand to command, the thief can definitely be captured in one fell swoop!"
"It's too dangerous..." Li Xian muttered, obviously thinking of some unpleasant memories.
"..." Li Chang glanced at Li Xian without saying anything, and thought to himself: 'Do you think it's you who is the boss?'
After a while, another scout rushed over and said with panic in his voice: "The enemy has attacked Yang Ge Lao's central army. The scene is very chaotic. Yang Ge Lao's life or death is unknown!"
"What?!" The soldiers at the top of the city were in an uproar. Li Xian and Li Chang were immediately distracted. The former murmured: "I'll just say it..."
"Master Hou, we have to go to the rescue quickly!" Li Chang, a close confidant of Yang Rong, said in a panic: "We must not let Mr. Yang Ge fall into this situation!"
"No," Li Xian shook his head and said, "The elder has ordered us to strictly guard the city. No matter what happens outside the city, we are not allowed to leave the city..."
"Hey..." Li Chang also suddenly remembered Yang Rong's instructions and was immediately discouraged. He could only ask the scouts to step up and explore again.
The two masters were anxiously wandering around the city. Soon, they saw more than 10,000 troops fleeing from the west, discarding their helmets and armor.
In the blink of an eye, the more than 10,000 troops were approaching. Judging by the flags, colors and uniforms, they were the troops led by Yang Rong.
"Stop!" Seeing so many troops arriving at the city, the defenders at the top of the city shouted in a routine: "No one is allowed to approach the city!"
"How outrageous!" an officer from the city shouted loudly, pointing at the old man lying on the stretcher behind him and said: "Scholar Yang is seriously injured and bleeding. He must be treated by the imperial doctor immediately! Open the city gate quickly!"
"Ah! It's Bachelor Yang?!" The officers and soldiers at the top of the city were stunned and looked at Er Li.
"What to do?!" Li Xian did not doubt that he was there and looked at Li Chang. But Li Chang stared at the stretcher at the bottom of the city. Through the bright firelight, he could vaguely see an old man with gray beard and hair covered in blood.
, although the appearance cannot be clearly seen, the clear outline of the face is that of Yang Rong!
"What should we do? Open the city gate quickly!" Seeing that it was his pavilion master, Li Chang cried out and went down the city tower in three steps and two steps at a time.
"What are you doing standing there, open the city gate quickly!" After hearing what Li Chang said, Li Xian did not dare to neglect and quickly gave the order. If Yang Ge died outside the city because he did not open the door in time, he would not be able to eat and walk away.
!
The sergeants hurriedly turned the winch, the heavy chains rattled, and the high-hanging suspension bridge slowly lowered. Inside the city gate cave, two city gates weighing 10,000 kilograms also slowly opened...
As soon as the suspension bridge fell, the troops escorting Yang Rong rushed into the Chaojing Gate, and hundreds of people entered in the blink of an eye.
Inside the city gate, Li Chang was waiting eagerly. He saw the continuous influx of officers and soldiers, but Yang Rong was nowhere to be seen. At this time, Li Xian also came down to the city gate and waited with him. Seeing this, he frowned and shouted: "Why are you crowding?"
Crowded?! Let Mr. Ge come in first!"
I don’t know if his words had any effect or something, but Yang Rong’s stretcher finally came in. Li Shangshu couldn’t hold himself back, and rushed into the crowd to get to the stretcher. When he saw Yang Rong’s face covered in blood and unconscious, Li Shangshu just
Kaoru screamed sadly, and suddenly noticed something strange. He glanced around the stretcher and blurted out: "Where are the people around the bachelor?!"
For a person with Yang Rong's status, he is always surrounded by people and surrounded by a lot of escorts. This is especially true when he goes on an expedition. How come there isn't even a familiar face around him?!
"..." The soldiers carrying the stretcher looked at each other, but no one answered him.
"Where are the people around the bachelor?!" Li Chang's scalp went numb and he shouted again.
"What are you yelling about?!" 'Yang Rong', who was lying on the stretcher, actually spoke.
"I, your official..." Li Chang subconsciously wanted to lower his eyebrows, but suddenly realized that his voice was wrong!
"You are..." Li Chang screamed. He regretted that he had just cared so much that he had not thought of this!
However, it was already too late! Before Li Chang could finish his words, he was stabbed through the abdomen by a sword. He was shocked to see that 'Yang Rong' jumped off the stretcher and commanded the officers and soldiers to rush into Tongzhou City!
"Fake..." Li Chang spat out two words with difficulty, then suddenly fell to the ground and was trampled into a pulp by the officers and soldiers who swarmed into the city!
At the gate of the city, while Li Chang screamed, the Wang Xianjun soldiers pretending to be Yang Rong's guards had already taken action, raising their weapons and slashing at the unsuspecting defenders!
Caught off guard, scores of defenders were cut down, screams and exclamations broke out, and the city gate was in chaos!
Realizing that something was wrong, Li Xian quickly turned around and ran into the city. As he ran, he shouted to the city: "Close the city gate quickly!"
But it was too late! The hundreds of Wang Xianjun who were the first to enter the city had already climbed onto the city tower and rushed into the city gate tower! The officers and soldiers in the city gate tower hurriedly raised their weapons to resist. Who would have thought that as soon as they met, dozens of soldiers would
Beheaded by the sword!
Hearing the cry of killing at the door, the officer inside hurriedly twisted the winch and tried to raise the suspension bridge, but was nailed to the winch by a roaring long sword!
The officer's body got stuck in the winch, and the suspension bridge that had just been raised a few inches was now hovering there again!
Taoist priest Xianyun, who was dressed in an ordinary soldier's uniform, strolled into the room and stared at the stunned officers and soldiers inside.
When the officers and soldiers saw that he was unarmed, they gritted their teeth, raised their weapons and rushed at him from all sides.
Xianyun sighed and kicked sideways, hitting an officer and soldier in the chest. The officer and soldier immediately felt as if he had been hit hard and vomited blood and flew away. With the force of the rebound, Xianyun's body drew a circle in the air.
, and used several kicks at the same time to kick those officers and soldiers away one by one!
When he landed gracefully, there was no other person standing in the room.
After completing the task assigned by Wang Xian, Xianyun stood there quietly, guarding the winch...
Wang Xian's army broke open the city gate and rushed into Tongzhou City like a flood from a sluice. The defenders were caught off guard and were killed, throwing away their helmets and armor. In the blink of an eye, they lost the Chaojing Gate!
But at that time, there were still 30,000 troops in the city, twice as many as Wang Xian's. Moreover, the granary walls were tall and fortresses were laid out everywhere. If the garrison officers and soldiers defended the forts and fought to the death with the enemy, it was still unclear who would win.
!
However, they have a coach named Li Xian...
But Li Xian, in order to flatter Yang Rong, also went to the Chaojing Gate to greet him. Although he was not killed on the spot because he was a step late, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran into the city!
The scene was originally chaotic, but the officers and soldiers did not notice anything.
Unexpectedly, Wu Wei, who was the first to rush into the city, had already set his sights on Li Xian. Seeing that he actually abandoned the crowd and fled, there was nothing to hesitate about. He immediately led his soldiers in hot pursuit!
What's even more hateful is that while Wu Wei and others were chasing him, they shouted loudly: "Li Xian has escaped! Li Xian has escaped!"
"Run quickly! Li Xian has already escaped, what are you waiting for!"
Hearing this, Li Xian wanted to yell, but when he looked back, he saw that the pursuers were behind him. He quickly shut his mouth and continued running!
The defenders who were fighting fiercely with the enemy and were about to join the battle group couldn't help but turn around when they heard the wild shouts of Wu Wei and others. Sure enough, they saw their commander running on the brightly lit street...
Seeing the commander escaping, the soldiers, who still had no fighting spirit, dropped their weapons and started running after him.
The siege army immediately felt that the resistance was gone, and immediately raced against time to clear the roadblocks and let the long-awaited cavalry enter the city!
As soon as the cavalry entered the city, the idle clouds above the city gate turned the winch and slowly raised the suspension bridge.
Wang Xianqin led the cavalry and roared into Tongzhou City. He loudly ordered Mo Wen: "You lead people to capture the north gate, and I will capture the south gate!"
"Where is the east gate?" Mo Wen took the helmet from the soldier and put it on again.
"He who is able will work harder!" Wang Xian said and led thousands of soldiers and horses to the south. Mo Wen also led his troops to kill towards the north gate!
Three miles west of Yongtong Bridge, after a night of hard fighting, Yang Rong finally annihilated Xu Huaiqing and his five thousand troops. But Mr. Yang Ge couldn't be happy anyway, because the preliminary losses had been calculated. That night, the officers and soldiers were broken
More than 25,000 people were lost, and more than 20 senior generals were killed...
No matter from any angle, this battle was not considered a success. This made Yang Rong extremely annoyed, so he got angry and ordered Xu Huaiqing and others to be shot without leaving any trace!
"There is no need to do this, Mr. Ge. We have defeated the enemy's plan, and the food transport team will no longer be harassed." Seeing Mr. Ge's face like the bottom of a pot, he hurriedly said: "Anyway, we have many soldiers, and we will consume a lot of money."
Energy consumption kills Wang Xian..."
"Hey..." Yang Rong nodded solemnly, and that was all he could do. It is said that it is easier said than done. The ancients did not deceive me. Leading troops to fight is really not something that can be done by reading a few military books...
After gathering his mood, Yang Ronggang was about to give the order to return to the city, but he saw a group of defeated soldiers rushing towards him. Wherever he went, the army was in an uproar!
Yang Rong felt anxious and quickly looked up. In the dim light of the sky, he vaguely saw that the person leading the way seemed to be Li Xian!
Yang Rong's body swayed suddenly and he almost fell off the horse. His old face, completely drained of blood, stared at the person coming!
The person is getting closer and closer, and his face can be clearly distinguished! If it's not Li Xian, who is it?
The last trace of luck was broken, Yang Gelao's head buzzed, and finally... fell off the horse!
"Mr. Ge! Mr. Ge!" Fortunately, I was prepared and quickly supported Yang Rong. But Yang Rong pushed me away like crazy and rushed towards Li Xian! The university has no power to restrain a chicken.
The soldier actually pulled Li Xian off his horse and roared as if he wanted to eat someone: "Why are you here? Where is my Tongzhou City!"
Li Xian was beaten to pieces, and he said with a mournful face: "Wang Xian's men pretended to be elders, opened the city gate, killed Li Chang, and invaded Tongzhou City..."
‘Poof…’ Yang Rong sprayed a mouthful of old blood on Li Xian’s face!
