Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 561 The Death of Zhai Xing
At the foot of Longmen Mountain, beside the Yishui River, Zhai Xing, all in military uniform, rode on a horse, watching his own army attacking the mountain ahead.On the top of the mountain, Meng Bangxiong's army was condescending, and the rolling logs and stones kept falling, making the attack very difficult.

Peng Qi stepped forward and said: "The enemy army is defending tenaciously. To appease you, it's better to withdraw the people first and take a rest."

Zhai Xing pointed to Longmen Mountain and said: "Look at the enemy's formation in that area is sparse, and the defense is not tenacious. They are about to attack! Yang Wei, order all your troops to attack there! As long as Longmen Mountain is captured , this day's danger will be broken!"

Yang Wei crossed his hands to listen to the order.Looking at the mountain, he supported the iron mace on his back, pulled out his waist knife, and rushed up with the remaining soldiers and horses himself.

Zhai Xing looked at it and praised: "We, the soldiers, sacrifice our lives for the country, which is exactly what we should do!"

While speaking, Yang Wei had already rushed up the mountain with the rest of the soldiers without fear of death.

On the Xiangshan Mountain opposite, Lian Gongjin sat in a high chair, holding a cattail fan in his hand, and leisurely watched the battle on the other side of Longmen Mountain.Meng Bangxiong stood behind Lian Gongjin, his face full of anxiety, but he dared not speak.

Yang Wei is Zhai Xing's cousin brother, and he is brave in battle.After going up the mountain, he charged forward and chopped down several puppet soldiers.When he was about to fight again, he saw that the steel knife in his hand had collapsed.Throwing the knife on the ground, picking up a spear, with a loud roar, he rushed straight to the top of the mountain with his men.

Zhai Xing saw it from below and said to Peng Qi: "Yang Wei is so brave today, rushing up the mountain is like entering no one's land! You hold down the formation at the bottom of the mountain, and I will go up the mountain to help him!"

Peng Qi said: "Take care of a body of ten thousand gold, don't approach the front line lightly! I'll go up the mountain to help Yang Wei!"

Zhai Xing said with a smile: "A good man should fight on the battlefield and live among the swords and guns! Just hold the army at the foot of the mountain and watch me break through Longmen Mountain today!"

With that said, holding a mace in his hand, he rode up the mountain.

Far away from the Yihe River, Longmen Mountain is not steep.Where Yang Wei attacked, Zhai Xing was able to go up on horseback.He only wanted to defeat the enemy army and seize the important place of Longmen.Zhai Xing didn't get off his horse, and rushed in Yang Wei's direction.

Maybe they fought for a long time, and the defenders were slack. Today, there are few troops in this area, and the defense is not resolute, but Yang Wei rushed all the way to the place near the top of the mountain.Zhai Xing was overjoyed.When he got to the mountainside, he dismounted from his horse, raised his mace, and charged in Yang Wei's direction.

Zhai Xing went into battle in person, and the morale of Zhai's army was boosted for a while.The sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, and everyone rushed straight to the top of the mountain regardless of their own safety.

Peng Qi at the foot of the mountain looked at the situation in front of him and was overjoyed.It has been nearly two months since the attack on Longmen, and there has been no progress.Could it be that God is looking down today and is really going to break through this dangerous place?Without the Longmen defense, how could Meng Bangxiong stop Zhai's army?

Zhai Xing went forward all the way and rushed to the front line.Seeing that Yang Wei's battle robe was stained with blood, his beard and hair were all stretched out like a god of war.A steel gun in his hand was as fast as lightning, and the enemy soldiers in front of him fell one by one, and no one could stop him half a step.

Raising the steel mace in his hand, Zhai Xing strode forward.Knocking down an enemy general with one mace, he said to Yang Wei: "My good brother, let me help you!"

Behind him, Zhai's army cheered and rushed towards the top of the mountain together.

Yang Wei pulled the spear out of the enemy's body, turned to Zhai Xing and said, "Brother, thank you for your help! The battle is dangerous, you must not come to the front line in person!"

Zhai Xing said with a smile: "You kill so happily, how can I not come!"

After finishing speaking, he put away his mace, picked up a spear from his side, and leaned towards Yang Wei.

Yang Wei thanked him, swung his spear, and charged forward.

The defenders on the top of the mountain were overwhelmed by the aura of Zhai Xing and Yang Wei, and their hearts fluttered for a while, and they were about to lose their hold.

Zhai Xing was overjoyed.The arrogance that had been suppressed for two months was released at once, like a god, the spear flew up and down, and charged straight to the top of the mountain.

Yang Wei stood still, retracted the spear, watched Zhai Xing come over, and wiped the tip of the gun lightly.Smiling at Zhai Xing, he shook his head lightly.

Zhai Xing said: "Brother is tired after thinking about it. Just take a rest and wait for me to attack up the mountain!"

As he spoke, he looked up to the sky and let out a long whistle.The whistling sound was long and deep, as if all the grievances of the past two months had been vented in this long whistling sound.

Here is almost to the top of the mountain, the mountain road is rugged.There were also thorns planted by the defenders blocking the road, and the Zhai family army behind them did not follow.Zhai Xing overtook Yang Wei and rushed to the front of the team.The spear in his hand flew up and stabbed at the defenders in front.

Yang Wei looked at Zhai Xing's arrogance and sighed softly.The long spear in his hand stabbed straight and pierced Zhai Xing's back.

Zhai Xing only felt his heart go cold, his hands lost strength, and his body slowly fell down.Looking back, I saw Yang Wei put away his spear, picked up a waist knife, and strode up.Said: "Brother, until now, I have no other choice. I can only borrow your head and exchange it for wealth!"

After finishing speaking, he chopped off the steel knife in his hand and took Zhai Xing's head.

Holding Zhai Xing's head, Yang Wei climbed to the top of the mountain.Said: "The vanguard of the Zhai family army controls Yang Wei, uprising in front of the battle, and willing to serve the emperor of Daqi!"

Following this shout, there was a sudden burst of drumming behind the mountain, and the sound of shouting and killing was loud.The defenders who had been ambushing behind the mountain rushed out together, passed Yang Wei, and went straight down the mountain to kill.Zhai Jiajun was stunned, he didn't know what happened, and was driven down the mountain.

On the opposite Fragrant Hills, Lian Gongjin stood up abruptly.He said: "What did I say? What did I say? This old man has a clever plan here. Taking the head of Zhai Xing's neck is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand! Stay behind, Zhai Xing is dead, and his vanguard commander Yang Wei has surrendered. What else can stop your army! It's time to mobilize the troops and wipe out the Zhai family's army!"

Meng Bangxiong let out a sigh of relief, as if dreaming.He said to Meng Bangjie: "Since Zhai Xing was killed, Zhai's army has no leader, so it's time to exterminate them! Immediately mobilize the nearby soldiers and horses, and kill them all the way! Take Yique City and leave no one behind!"

Meng Bangjie promised, walked down the mountain quickly, and gathered soldiers and horses.

Before Peng Qi saw what happened on the mountain, he saw Meng Bangxiong's ambush rising, and his soldiers and horses were killed and retreated steadily.A small school ran down the mountain and said to Peng Qi: "Control, the Taiwei was killed by the forward Yang Wei! Our army was defeated!"

Peng Qi thought he heard it wrong.Asked aloud, "What did you say? What happened on the top of the mountain?"

Xiaoxiao said: "Yang Wei suddenly rebelled and killed the Taiwei, we lost!"

Peng Qi only felt a buzzing in his head, and felt his world spinning.Eyes become blurred, and everything around becomes chaotic.

Xiaoxiao said: "Controlling, the enemy army on the mountain has been killed! Don't hesitate, gather your troops quickly and retreat!"

Peng Qi shook his head, forcing himself to calm down.He ordered his own soldiers to raise their own banners, gather soldiers and horses, and prepare to retreat.

In the blink of an eye, the imposing Zhai family army was defeated.Under Peng Qi's leadership, Meng Bangjie led his troops to kill him as soon as he withdrew to the camp.The camp couldn't hold it, so it had to retreat in the direction of Yique City.

Standing on the Fragrant Hills, Lian Gong would like to watch the defeat of Zhai's army at the foot of the hill.Shaking the cattail fan lightly, he said to Meng Bangxiong: "Stay behind, how about it? I said that the siege of Luoyang will be relieved within three days! Now that Zhai Xing is dead, why should Zhai's army worry about it!"

Meng Bangxiong cupped his hands: "Mr. Xiang has a clever plan, which is beyond the reach of others! Yang Wei, the forward commander of Zhai's army, has already agreed to surrender!"

Lord Lian said: "When Ding Jin was in Dengfeng, Jiang Yi went to persuade him to surrender. At that time, Yang Wei had already agreed to surrender. I don't want to delay the matter if Ding Jin is killed without investigating for a while. I got the prince. Great plan, come to Luoyang. How can Yang Wei not surrender at this time? Today he killed Zhai Xing and made a great contribution, the prince will definitely reward him!"

At that time in Yingyang, Zhang Jun once heard Jiang Yi's people mention a Yang Taiwei, but he didn't know who it was.Due to the haste of the matter, he ran away without asking about the identity of this person, so the matter had to be let go.Later, Wang Xiaolie made many inquiries, but there was no way to determine the identity of this person.Because he is Zhai Xing's person, there is no way to investigate carefully, so he can only rely on knowing Zhai Xing and telling him to be careful.At that time, Zhai Xing thought that Zhang Jun had heard it wrong, so he laughed it off, but he did not expect to die in the end.
