Water Margin people

As soon as Xin Xingzong and Liu Guangshi's army arrived, the battle situation in Xiuzhou was reversed instantly, and Fang Qifo no longer dared to attack the city rashly.

"General Xin, I wonder if Tong Xiang has any instructions?"

Han Shizhong clasped his fists at Xin Xingzong and asked.

"Tong Xiang ordered us to wipe out Fang La quickly and relieve the worry of the Holy Majesty!" "

Xin Xingzong looked at Han Shizhong suspiciously and said.

"Who is this person?"

Xin Xingzong looked at Wang Yuan beside him and asked, the armor on Han Shizhong's body did not indicate his official position, he seemed to be just a low-level officer.

"Deputy Lieutenant Jinyi, Han Shizhong!"

Wang Yuan whispered.

"Deputy Lieutenant Jinyi? Huh!"

The corner of Xin Xingzong's mouth twitched, and he looked at Han Shizhong with disdain. Lieutenant Jinyi didn't even have a rank, and he was really white and unknown.

"So it's Deputy Captain Han!"

Liu Guangshi smiled and fisted at Han Shizhong. Han Shizhong was his father Liu Yanqing's subordinate. He also heard his father talk about this man a lot. Although his official position was not high, he was extremely brave and quite strategic.

"What's the situation outside the city now?"

Xin Xingzong no longer looked at Han Shizhong, but looked at Wang Yuan and asked.

"The leader of the thieves, the Seven Buddhas, led [-] troops to support Suzhou, and they have been blocked by our army for five days. Our army killed nearly [-] thieves!"

Wang Yuan pointed to the mountains of corpses piled up outside the city and asked for credit with a smile.

"It's just a thief, why don't you take the initiative to attack and kill them directly?"

Xin Xingzong said nonchalantly.

"The thieves are powerful after all, Xiuzhou is related to the battle of Suzhou, I dare not fight rashly!"

Wang Yuan immediately clasped his fists at Xin Xingzong and said, he is only an eighth-rank official, and Xin Xingzong is a fifth-rank official, now that he comes to Xiuzhou, the military power will naturally belong to Xin Xingzong.

"General Wang is also thinking about the overall situation!"

Seeing that Xin Xingzong wanted to reprimand Wang Yuan, Liu Guangshi immediately interrupted him. Wang Yuan is now a vanguard under his father's command, and he needs to protect him.

Xin Xingzong looked at Liu Guangshi, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes eased a little. He still wanted to give Liu Yanqing face.

"Follow me out of the city tomorrow to kill thieves!"

Xin Xingzong looked at Wang Yuan and Han Shizhong and said, seeing the Mingjiao thieves easy to beat, he would not let them go, and he came to Jiangnan this time to make merit.

"Yes!"

Wang Yuan and Han Shizhong had no choice but to salute with fists together.

On the second day, the drums of the civil war in Xiuzhou sounded, and the [-] troops quickly assembled.

"I will go out of the city to kill thieves!"

Xin Xingzong didn't talk too much, he drew out the sword at his waist and let out a loud roar.

"Wang Xianfeng, the whole army is leaving the city?"

Han Shizhong's face changed slightly, he looked at Wang Yuan and asked in a low voice, he didn't know about this matter.

"General Xin made the decision last night!"

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, Xin Xingzong suddenly asked him to discuss military affairs last night, and there was no Han Shizhong in there, probably because he felt that Han Shizhong had no rank and was not worthy to discuss military affairs.

"The whole army is out of the city, what about Xiuzhou?"

Han Shizhong was a little anxious. The walls of Xiuzhou were low, and the defense of the city depended on people. If the army left Xiuzhou, wouldn't it be an empty city?

"General Xin means to kill the enemy directly and then return to the city. Mingjiao thieves have average combat effectiveness and are no match for our [-] army."

Wang Yuan opened his mouth and said.

Han Shizhong still wanted to speak again, but the army in front had already left the city one after another, and they had already reached their battalion. It would be a felony not to fight before, so he could only leave the city with the army.

The mobilization of Xiuzhou's army has long been detected by Fang Qifo. The gathering of [-] troops has left the city for a decisive battle, and there is no other possibility.

"A few of you will lead an army of [-] to attack Xiuzhou City!"

Fang Qifo looked at Li Tianyou and the others in front of him and said, if the whole army is attacking, then he will let them know how powerful they are.

Xin Xingzong led the army straight to the Mingjiao camp, the army didn't intend to stay for a moment, and rushed directly to the enemy's camp.

"kill!"

The Mingjiao army, which had been prepared long ago, relied on the camp to block the official army.

"Kill me! Kill all the thieves!"

Xin Xingzong waved his sword and roared to supervise the battle from behind.

"How many casualties are there!"

Han Shizhong's face was ashen. He never expected that Xin Xingzong would attack in such a way. Although their soldiers were protected by armor, facing the strong camp, the advantage of the armor disappeared, causing countless casualties.

"Stop rushing, hit it with a log!"

Liu Guangshi also frowned and shouted at the soldiers, it is almost impossible to cut down the camp wall with a sword, it is faster to hit it with a log.

The soldiers rushed towards the Mingjiao camp with logs in their arms. Under the protection of shields and bows and crossbows, they struck more than ten times in a row, and the camp wall was finally crumbling.

"kill!"

At the moment when the camp wall collapsed, Fang Qifo rushed out with a lancet and led the people to kill.

The officers and soldiers were unprepared, and were defeated by Fang Qifo for a while, and the forward formation scattered.

"Don't retreat! Kill the thief!"

Seeing the enemy coming out, Xin Xingzong yelled at the soldiers. In his opinion, this is the best time to kill the enemy.

What Fang Qifo brought were all personal soldiers, and all of them were lancets. This is a slightly curved blade with a long and narrow blade, flexible and suitable for chopping. This dexterous weapon can kill the officers and soldiers Backed away again and again for a while.

"You can't fight like this, those with iron armor, follow me to kill!"

Han Shizhong saw that the battle ahead was unfavorable, and his mind was mixed. The lancet was very sharp, and paper armor and leather armor could not block it well. He needed soldiers with iron armor to step forward. Light weapons like the lancet did not have the ability to pierce armor.

Holding a pen knife, Han Shizhong rushed into the battle group with a group of soldiers in iron armor. The lancet slashed on the iron armor, causing bursts of sparks, but only a scratch was left.

"The thieves are to die!"

Han Shizhong slashed at Fang Qifo with a knife.

Fang Qifo also saw Han Shizhong, and immediately swung his knife to kill the officer general.

The two fought together again, Han Shizhong's swordsmanship was heavy, Fang Qifo's martial arts were not bad, the speed of the lancet made Han Shizhong frown, but the pen knife was heavy, and the seven Buddhas under the slashing were only able to parry .

"It's not good, Xiuzhou has been attacked!"

Just when Han Shizhong was about to use his unique move to kill Fang Qifo, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"what?"

Han Shizhong's face changed, and what he was most worried about happened.

"You actually attacked Xiuzhou!"

Han Shizhong's eyes were murderous.

"Haha, it's time for you dog officials to die!"

Fang Qifo sneered, and swung the lancet in his hand to kill Han Shizhong with afterimages.

"General Xin, retreat and return to defense! Xiuzhou cannot be lost!"

Liu Guangshi looked at Xin Xingzong and said, Xiuzhou has just been recovered, if there is a mistake at this time, not only will they have nowhere to stand, but the war in Suzhou will also be affected.

"Mingjin! Withdraw!"

Although Xin Xingzong was unwilling to let go of the credit he had achieved, he couldn't bear the responsibility of losing Xiuzhou, so he immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

How could Fang Qifo be willing to let go of the officers and soldiers at this time, and he was about to rush into the formation of the officers and soldiers with his people.

Han Shizhong swung his pen knife and blocked Fang Qifo firmly.

The officers and soldiers withdrew, Li Tianyou and others in Xiuzhou City saw them, but they did not dare to stay for a long time, a fire burned the officers and soldiers' supplies, abandoned the city and left.
