Wang Xian ended his fight with Zhang Fu and led his army northwards at night. In order to avoid the scouts of the official army, the entire army did not light up torches. The 15,000-strong army marched quietly with their men wearing titles and their horses bound in hooves. At the fourth watch, when we arrived at Sihezhuang, a dozen miles south of Tongzhou, the traces of the army were still not found. Arriving at Sihezhuang, Wang Xian ordered the entire army to take a break and wait for the masters of the Jinyiwei who were exploring the way ahead to bring back the battlefield situation before determining the battle strategy. In the dark night with few cold stars, after waiting for less than half an hour, the Jin Yiwei who went to explore the way came back, and brought back several Zhang Dong's men. Wang Xian immediately summoned these people and learned from their mouths that Xu Huaiqing led 5,000 cavalry and attacked the army's grain transport army one after another. He had 20,000 cavalry and killed them like shit. Before Wang Xian and others had time to feel excited, they were stunned by what the messenger said next: "In order to deal with General Xu, Yang Rong personally led an army of 20,000 out of the city to command, and a total of 90,000 troops, no mistake, surrounded and suppressed General Xu's troops. "Where is Xu Huaiqing? Have you escaped?" Wang Xian asked the messenger anxiously. "General Xu asked me to report to the Lord. He will fight to the last man and drag Yang Rong until dawn!" The messenger choked with tears in his eyes: "General Xu, please don't let the small lose the big. Take advantage of Yang Rong's absence in Tongzhou and the lack of troops in the city to capture Tongzhou City!" After the messenger finished speaking, there was a dead silence. Mo Wen, Wu Wei, Zhang Yi and others all lowered their heads. Wang Xian trembled for a long time and whispered. He roared angrily: "This bastard! Do you still need him to teach me?!" "Master," Mo Wen suddenly raised his head and said with red eyes: "We must go to Tongzhou City immediately. We must not let Old Xu They died in vain!" "They are not dead yet!" Zhang Yi glared at Mo Wen, holding his hand tightly on the hilt of the sword. "Ninety thousand troops are surrounding us. They can't get out, and we can't save them either!" Mo Wen said with tears: "Don't you understand yet? Lao Xu sacrificed his own life for us to take the initiative in the entire war. Quan! We must not act emotionally and let Lao Xu¡¯s hard work go to waste!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t understand!¡± Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and said, ¡°I only know that my husband is trapped in a tight siege and I will not save him.¡± Where is it?!" "That will only bring everyone in!" Mo Wen said in a deep voice: "If Lao Xu wants to run away, who can stop him and still need us to rescue him? Everyone had their own opinions and got into a quarrel. "Okay! Stop arguing!" Wang Xian finally shouted, and the generals immediately fell silent. They all looked at their coach, waiting for him to make a decision! "Order the entire army" Wang Xian's eyes slowly swept across the generals, and finally said in vain: "The target is Tongzhou City, set off immediately" "Marshal!" "Sir!" "Master!" Those who insist on saving The generals all froze there. When they came to their senses and tried to persuade Wang Xian again, they saw him wave his hands, close his eyes and say: "I have made up my mind, don't say any more". The charge ended again, Xu Huaiqing's horse fell to the ground with a cry, and the soldiers on the left and right hurriedly supported the general who had been wounded several times. Xu Huaiqing looked at the horse that died of exhaustion, then at the few hundred soldiers left around him, then at the sky, and sighed: "It's about to dawn" All the soldiers followed his gaze and looked to the east. On the horizon, I saw the morning star quietly hanging in the deep night! Everyone smiled with relief. Before tonight, they never imagined that they could actually do this! With less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, they tightly entangled 90,000 enemy troops and killed them to pieces. I am afraid that Zhang Wenyuan, who was so powerful in Xiaoyaojin back then, could only do this! "However, we really can't run away" Xu Huaiqing looked at the torches all over the mountains and plains, and they had already surrounded the small hillside where they were. "You can't run away in the first place, what good thing does the general want?" The soldiers cheered up and made fun of Xu Huaiqing. Listening to the soldiers¡¯ teasing, Xu Huaiqing suddenly choked up and said: ¡°In the next life, we will still be brothers¡± ¡°Of course!¡± The soldiers nodded with a smile. "You make the decision this time," Xu Huaiqing held the big ax with one hand and smiled weakly: "Should we make another round, or wait here to die" Not surprisingly, the soldiers said proudly: "A man should be shrouded in horse leather. ! General, lead us to charge!" "Okay!" Xu Huaiqing laughed, gritted his teeth, lifted the heavy Xuanhua ax with one arm, and rushed down the hillside! The soldiers also dismounted one after another. Since it was the last attack, the old man would not be affected.?Follow him and die I think the officers and soldiers won't be so perverted that they even want to kill their horses to vent their hatred. "The wind follows the dragon, the cloud follows the tiger, fame and fortune come from dust and earth. Looking at China, the people are suffering, and the fertile land for thousands of miles is barren." Xu Huaiqing suddenly sang a military song that was in their blood, and more than a hundred soldiers sang along. . "Look at the world, there are no barbarians, and what is missing in the way of heaven can only be repaired. Good man, don't care about your parents, just for the common people and not for the master." More than a hundred soldiers, scarred and covered with blood, followed their commander and rushed into the enemy's formation. "It was obvious that they were at the end of their strength and could not penetrate Lu Guan, but the officers and soldiers all over the mountains and plains retreated They had obviously been ravaged by them all night, and they obviously wanted to tear them into pieces. But at this moment, looking at the blood-stained faces and listening to the familiar military song, the officers and soldiers could not lift their swords or lower their hands They staggered forward, and the officers and soldiers' front line Then he slowly backed away. Seeing this scene, Yang Rong shuddered in front of the battle. Civil war is unjust, and the morale of the military is difficult to predict. This is the reason! "Fire arrows! Shoot them to death!" Yang Rong waved the Emperor's Sword and roared at the top of his lungs! After he chopped down two officers and soldiers who were reluctant to take action, sparse arrows finally flew out! Xu Huaiqing and his brothers were hit by arrows one after another, but they still stood there and sang loudly: "With ninety-nine steel swords in hand, I killed all the beauties before stopping. I am a man of dignity, why do I act like a horse and a cow for the Tartars?" "Continue. Shoot!" Yang Rong urged the archers to continue shooting with a strong voice, and the arrows became more and more dense. Xu Huaiqing and the others were hit by dozens or even dozens of arrows, and finally fell to the ground one after another. Xu Huaiqing stuck the Xuanhua ax on the ground, held on and refused to fall, and sang loudly: "A strong man drinks all the wine in the bowl, and never looks back on a thousand-mile journey" Until he was hit by a fatal arrow in the heart, he finally Losing all the strength in his body, he loosened his grip on the ax handle and fell to the ground on his back. The moment he fell to the ground, he clearly saw a group of embarrassed officers and soldiers fleeing from the direction of Tongzhou. The leader was clearly Li Xian! A happy smile broke out on Xu Huaiqing's stiff face. Lying peacefully next to the corpses of his brothers, he looked at the gradually whitening sky and squeezed out the last bit of singing from his throat: "The golden drums are ringing thousands of people roar, never break Huang Long swear never stop ¡¡±. An hour ago, when Yang Rong went into battle in person to surround and suppress Xu Huaiqing, Wang Xian's army had quietly reached outside Tongzhou City. There were countless official and military scouts along the way, but they were all eliminated by the masters of Jinyiwei. Even Taoist Master Xianyun personally went out to attack the scouts, and finally did not attract the attention of Yang Rong outside the city and Li Xian inside the city. . In the night wind, Wang Xian looked at the brightly lit Tongzhou City in front of him, then turned to look at the faintly visible torches more than ten miles away. He and his subordinates knew that this was where Yang Rong encircled and suppressed Xu Huaiqing. If Xu Huaiqing hadn't completely angered Yang Rong and attracted all his attention to the west, Wang Xian and the others would never have had the chance to sneak into Tongzhou City! Zhang Yi and others looked westward with tears in their eyes, unable to look back for a long time. Wang Xian had already turned around and looked at Wu Wei on the side: "How are the preparations going?" "I haven't met Yang Rong often, so I'm not very impressed by his appearance" Wu Wei frowned and said: "It can only be 70 to 80% similar." "That's enough!" Wang Xian nodded and said solemnly: "Let's take action!" They are now outside Tongzhou City, with hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers within a ten-mile radius. , may be discovered at any time, there can be no delay! "Yes!" Wu Wei and Mo Wen responded, and one of them took off his armor, the other took off his helmet, and the surrounding soldiers also discarded their helmets. Many people had bloody gauze wrapped around their heads, and some pretended to be lame. Some of them were lying on their horses In the blink of an eye, an army that had fought hundreds of battles was transformed into a group of remnants and defeated generals Tongzhou is brightly lit, the city above and below is as bright as the white ground, and tens of thousands of defenders are waiting in formation. Yang Rong was fighting fiercely outside the city. Naturally, Li Xian, the Marquis of Fengcheng, and Li Chang, the Minister of Household Affairs, did not dare to be careless at all. They stayed up all night. From the top of the Chaojing Gate, they looked at the battlefield to the west. They saw dots of torches flying everywhere. , completely unable to see the strict formation that Xueshie Yang said The scouts kept galloping to the city and reported the bad news to the city. Because the city gate is closed, the scouts cannot enter the city. It is not a situation that needs to be kept secret, and there is no need to go to the trouble of setting up the hanging basket. Therefore, the scouts shouted outside the city: "Report! The enemy has defeated the North Route Army and penetrated directly into the flank of the Northwest Army!" "Report! The formation of the Northwest Route Army has been penetrated horizontally, and Deputy Governor Chen has been killed!" "Report! The East Route Army was attacked" "Report! The West Route Army was attacked" "Report! The Southwest Army" Bad news came to the city one after another, making all the Tongzhou defenders frightened. , secretly thought: "Why is Zhen Guo Gong's army so powerful? Five thousand people can beat the shit out of Ge Lao's 90,000 people. If he waits for his army to kill, this battle will be a fart, and he will surrender directly!" " "Budang, the situation is not good" Li Xian looked at his own family and could not take pleasure in others' misfortune. He said with a bitter face: "Our military strength is twenty times that of others, how can we fight this battle?" (To be completed) Continued) Chapter 1278 Value:
