Water Margin people

Taiyuan Prefecture.

"Is this the end?"

Zhang Xiaochun and Ma Kuo stared blankly at the faint light of fire in the mountains and the continuous shouts of killing. The Jin army that had besieged Taiyuan Prefecture for more than half a month just ran away.

Not only Zhang Xiaochun and Ma Kuo, but everyone in Taiyuan Mansion looked at the mountains to the west, although they could only hear shouts and screams, as well as the occasional fire from explosions.

But this did not affect the attention of everyone in Taiyuan Prefecture. The enemy who had besieged them for more than half a month was driven away. He wanted to see how the enemy was repulsed.

At this time, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao had quietly arrived at the east side of Taiyuan Mansion with their people.

"Do these defenders really think that nothing has happened to them?"

Xie Zhen looked at the deserted city entrance and shook her head. She didn't have any alertness at all, and the Taiyuan Mansion garrison was nothing more than that.

Xie Zhen made a hand gesture, and Xie Bao quietly led the people to the outside of Dongcheng, swam across the moat, and reached the bottom of the city wall.

Dozens of flying claws were thrown up the city wall, and the shouts and explosions in the mountains in the distance became their best cover.

"Up to town!"

Everyone immediately pulled the rope and climbed up to the city.

Everyone in Taiyuan Mansion was still watching the battle in the distance.

"General Ma, take advantage of this moment and leave quickly! The Jin army in Liangshan has been defeated, and they will attack the city tomorrow!"

Zhang Xiaochun looked at Ma Kuo for a long time and then said.

"Zhifu Zhang, let's go together! These bandits are ferocious and their weapons are more powerful than the Jin army. It's hard to stop them from attacking the city!"

Ma Kuo looked at Zhang Xiaochun and advised, Taiyuan Mansion will eventually be destroyed, it just depends on whose hands it falls.

"Although the people in Liangshan are cruel, they will not harm the people. This can be considered a blessing among misfortunes."

Zhang Xiaochun shook his head. The only thing he was thankful for was that the people of Liangshan were not as ferocious and murderous as the foreigners.

Ma Kuo remained silent. Liangshan had a grudge against him for killing his father, but in terms of treating common people, the people of Liangshan were better than foreigners.

"Prefect Zhang, I will show the court that you are loyal to your duties and will stick to Taiyuan Prefecture in the face of the enemy!"

Ma Kuo looked at Zhang Xiaochun and went down to the city to prepare.

Zhang Xiaochun gave Ma Kuo a clasped fist and saluted him. Zhang Xiaochun did not betray the imperial court. As a prefect, he stayed with the city.

East City.

As Xie Zhen and Xie Bao eliminated the only group of defenders, Gong Wang, Ding Desun, Han Tao, and Peng Qi also led people to the city. They were not in a hurry to open the city gate. They wanted to capture Taiyuan without any bloodshed. The government cannot alert the enemy.

"I'll control the south gate!"

Ding Desun said.

"I'll control the North Gate!"

Gong Wang also spoke.

"The enemy's main force is at the west gate, let's go to the west gate!"

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao spoke.

"Then we take control of the city!"

Han Tao and Peng Qi also spoke.

After the discussion, everyone led the soldiers and horses to act separately.

West City.

"Oh, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!"

Zhang Xiaochun sighed.

"Of course I'm lucky!"

A laugh sounded behind Zhang Xiaochun.

"who!"

Zhang Xiaochun was so frightened that the hair on his head was counting down. The person speaking was definitely not a soldier, but an enemy. Zhang Xiaochun suddenly turned around and saw a strange young man in his early twenties smiling at him.

"Prefect Zhang, be honest!"

Xie Zhen's steel fork has reached Zhang Xiaochun's neck.

"You are... from Liangshan!"

Zhang Xiaochun looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. He was in a daze for a while, but hundreds of soldiers around him were captured silently.

Jie Bao waved a torch on the west city, the city gate opened, and the army outside the city began to enter the city.

"No, the enemy has entered the city!"

Ma Kuo was packing his luggage when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside. He immediately grabbed the spear beside him and rushed out to see the situation.

Just as Ma Kuo arrived at the courtyard door, there was a loud noise, the door panel of the courtyard door shattered, and a jujube tree stabbed over.

The surprised Ma Kuo quickly used his gun to block him, but Zao Muzhao kept attacking.

"Who is it!" Ma Zhan roared and waved his spear to drive away the enemy.

"Taiyuan Mansion has been destroyed, put down your weapons!"

Han Tao looked at Ma Kuang and said.

"You are Chenzhou regiment commander Han Tao, and you are a Liangshan bandit!"

Ma Zhan was shocked. He had only been in the city for a short time. Why was Taiyuan Mansion destroyed? How could the enemy enter the city?

When Han Tao saw that Ma Kuo refused to listen, he waved his jujube tree and stepped forward to attack.

"kill!"

Ma was so angry that he took out his revenge for killing his father directly on Han Tao.

Unfortunately, Ma Kuo's martial arts skills were not as good as Han Tao's, and there were soldiers behind Han Tao. Under the encirclement, Ma Kuo was quickly knocked to the ground.

……

Valley.

Wanyan Loushi led his troops to catch up with the front team.

"what happened?"

Wanyan Loushi looked at the corpses scattered on the ground.

"Explosion! The ground exploded!"

The wounded soldiers howled.

"There's a bomb buried underground!"

Wanyan Lou's room looked at the rows of exploding holes on the ground by the light of the fire, and understood what had happened.

"Kill with me!"

Wanyan Loushi ignored the wounded soldiers on the ground and continued to fight westward with his soldiers. Leaving these wounded soldiers behind could slow down the enemy's pursuit.

There were constant shouts of killing in the west, and Wanyan Lou's room knew that Wanyan Zonghan was fighting with the ambushed enemy.

"If you want to leave, you have to ask me about this Fangtian Painted Halberd!"

Lu Fang was blocking a mountain road and looking at Wanyan Zonghan. Behind him, the army occupying a favorable position was shooting at the approaching enemies.

"kill!"

Wanyan Zonghan was so anxious that he just wanted to break out of the encirclement quickly and swung his spear to kill Lu Fang.

"The following enemies are coming too!"

Jiao Ting whispered to Guo Sheng, who was rushing through the formation.

"So fast!"

Guo Sheng's face changed slightly. The enemy's reinforcements came too quickly. They were short of manpower and could not stop the enemy.

"We have killed enough enemies, let's stop it!"

Jiao Ting said, the corpses of the enemies in front of them were already piled up in the mountains. The roads in the mountains were complicated and they could not completely block the way. They could only block a few main roads to kill the enemies. Many enemies had already taken a side road and fled. Wanyan Zonghan also He was just blocking them to buy time.

Wanyan Loushi quickly arrived with his troops. Seeing the enemy occupying the terrain and forming a formation, Wanyan Zonghan was fighting with the enemy. He immediately stepped forward with his gun.

After a period of fighting, Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zonghan led others to escape through other roads.

The battle gradually subsided, and the lone golden soldiers were killed one by one.

"Master Lu, the enemy entered the mountain through a branch road and escaped!"

Jiao Ting looked at Lu Zhishen who arrived with his troops and said.

"Forget it, it's enough to kill so many people. There is no need to pursue. The army is gathering and getting ready to go to Datong Mansion!"

Lu Zhishen nodded. They couldn't surround and kill the enemy, so there was no need to waste time by pursuing them fiercely. Their next target was the main force of the Jin army outside the pass.

When the sun rose again, the broken limbs spread from outside Taiyuan Mansion to the mountains, like a road of corpses.

"Master Lu, Taiyuan Prefecture was captured without a single blow!"

Xie Zhen and others also welcomed the army's triumphant return.

"What's going on here?"

Lu Zhishen asked, looking at Ma Kuo, whose face was full of blood and resentment.

"This guy wants to commit suicide and bang his head against the wall, and that's what happens!"

Han Tao said helplessly that he had been captured alive, but Ma Kuo wanted to die.

"You are Ma Zheng's son, right? Ma Zheng is not dead yet, and you want to die? You have to send a man with white hair to a man with black hair! You are really unfilial!"

Lu Zhishen smiled.

"What? My father is not dead?"

Ma Kuo asked in disbelief, his face full of surprise.
