Pu Cunrui was not in a good mood, and the Beishan army pursued them at night, but he was left behind with [-] troops to capture Qingtang City. After the main force set out, he led [-] troops to continue Stay five miles south of Qingtang City, guard the torch lit by the sparks, as a suspicious soldier, otherwise the torch will move, and if the Xiguan Army has spies, they will know the movement of the Beishan Army.

Logically speaking, the credit for chasing the enemy army is not the same as taking the city. It is a real credit for being able to win a city. It's a pity that the current Qingtang City is for the Beishan Army. It's like finding something out of a bag, without any effort.

The main force of the Xiguan Army has retreated from Qingtang City, leaving behind an empty city without soldiers. This city has lost the strategic position it should have. The credit, on the contrary, sent troops to pursue and defeated the Xiguan Army, which can be regarded as a great achievement.

Pu Cunrui was naturally unwilling to be left behind, but there was nothing he could do about it. Luo Dingxi was now the chief general of the Beishan Army, and naturally no one dared to disobey his orders.

According to Luo Dingxi's instructions, after the main force of Beishan chased out of the fifteen miles north of Qingtang City, Pu Cunrui led the troops and immediately went to Qingtang City to take down the empty city that was unguarded.

The spies came to report one after another, and when they were told that the soldiers and horses led by Luo Dingxi had left fifteen miles to the north of Qingtang City, Pu Cunrui then sent an order, and four thousand soldiers and horses began to move towards Qingtang City, which was five miles away from Qingtang City. , In the blink of an eye, I already knew that there were no soldiers guarding Qingtang City, so the four thousand soldiers and horses naturally had no pressure at all, and the Beishan Army had already sent people to cross the city and enter the city. As soon as the army arrived, the city gate would be opened immediately.

Qingtang City is just a small county town, and the city walls can't be said to be tall, or even strong. There are some skilled soldiers in the Beishan Army, and it is not difficult to climb over the walls and enter the city.

Pu Cunrui led an army of [-] to the south gate of Qingtang City. The torches were burning like stars. Pu Cunrui looked up at the top of the city and saw several figures flashing above the top of the city. The internal response in the city looked back, and a soldier holding a torch circled the torch several times behind him.

The figure on the top of the city disappeared, and Pu Cunrui knew that he should open the city gate, hold the reins, and be bored and lazy. Although Qingtang City was about to be taken down, he didn't feel the slightest excitement.

Waiting for the city gate to open, a horse galloped out from behind, and said: "Report to General Pu Lang, a group of soldiers and horses appeared in the rear of our army, and they are approaching here quickly."

Pu Cunrui was stunned, and frowned, "There are soldiers and horses behind? Do you know which army it is? There are two thousand soldiers and horses left behind in Danyang, so they won't leave Danyang alone and catch up from behind."

"General Lang, our rear is naturally our own people." A general beside him said, "Could it be that Governor Xiao wants to see this victory with his own eyes and lead the troops here?"

Pu Cunrui also felt that it was impossible for the enemy to appear behind him, but at this time a group of troops suddenly appeared, although it was strange, it might not be Xiao Huanzhang who led the troops to come.

While hesitating, another flying horse came, "General Lang, we asked the other party, and it seems that Xiao Du came in person, holding the Xiao flag!"

Pu Cunrui's expression immediately became serious, "Xiao Du is really going out in person?" He said loudly: "Send down the order and line up to meet Xiao Du." Then he shouted to the top of the city: "Quickly open the city gate, Xiao Du is here."

In any case, even though he didn't participate in the pursuit, it was very easy to take down Qingtang City, but it was much better than not doing anything at all. At least when Xiao Huanzhang came over, he could take out this city to hand over to Xiao Huanzhang.

Pu Cunrui had several thousand soldiers and horses, not veterans, but almost all new recruits recruited in recent years. At this time, they shouted and lined up to meet Xiao Huanzhang. The formation was chaotic for a while, and they finally formed a team. There was even a road in the middle. Let Xiao Huanzhang go directly into the city later, but when the array was in order, the gate of Qingtang City was still not opened, Pu Cunrui couldn't help frowning, and was about to ask, but he heard footsteps coming from the south, he shook his horse's rein and rushed forward A few miles ahead, there was a crowd of people in the dark, thinking how fast Xiao Du came, he got off his horse and threw the horse to his subordinates to lead it aside.

He saw that the torches were not big in the coming formation, but the flames still reflected the "Xiao" flag. He thought to himself that defeating the Xiguan Army and taking Jiazhou this time would be the first step for Xiao Huanzhang to fight for hegemony in the Northwest. He attached great importance to it, and it was reasonable to come to sit in the town in person. He adjusted his armor, looked solemn, and waited for Xiao Huanzhang to visit.

Except for the sound of footsteps, there was no other sound from the incoming army. It was mighty, but it looked like two or three thousand soldiers and horses. They stepped on the muddy ground and moved quickly. After running away, Pu Cunrui frowned, feeling that something was wrong, when he suddenly heard continuous screams from behind, his expression changed drastically, and when he turned his head, he saw the array behind him, which had already started to riot , the soldiers in the formation, some people have fallen one after another.

"What's going on?" Pu Cunrui was taken aback, and drew his sword out. Just now, in order to meet Xiao Huanzhang in formation, all the soldiers in the army were facing south, with their backs to Qingtang City, but up to now, the south gate of Qingtang City has still not been opened. .

"General Pu Lang, at the head of the city...!" Someone beside him shouted in horror: "There are Xiguan soldiers at the head of the city...!"

Pu Cunrui immediately raised his head, and seeing the scene at the top of the city, his expression changed drastically. At some point, there was a line of archers lined up on the empty top of the city. There were at least three to four hundred people. Without mercy, the arrows are fired in succession, the Beishan army under the city will be dense, and the formation will be connected, and it will be close to the city gate. At this moment, it will become a living target.

The [-] Beishan Army originally thought that Qingtang City would be within easy reach, and according to previous information, all the defenders of Qingtang City had retreated, and no soldiers were left behind. The city gate at the rear had to be opened, but hundreds of archers appeared at the top of the city and shot them mercilessly.

The formation was neat at first, but when he was shot by the random arrows, his comrades around him fell down, and Zhen Xing suddenly became chaotic. Pu Cunrui was very angry, and almost at this time, there was another shout of killing from the south. , The team with the "Xiao" flag rushed towards them like wolves and tigers, their bright swords and guns carried a murderous aura, and their sword aura was frosty.

The defenders appeared in Qingtang City, which was at your fingertips, and the "my family" who was supposed to greet him rushed towards him brandishing knives and guns in a blink of an eye. Thousands of soldiers and horses were caught off guard for a while. Obviously, there would be no time for them to think. Before many people came back to their senses, the team had already rushed forward, slashing and stabbing with knives and guns.

The Beishan Army's formation was completely disorganized. Pu Cunrui shouted and shouted, but several enemy troops were surrounded by him. Only then did he see clearly that this was Xiao Huanzhang's team. It was obviously the Xiguan Army carrying Xiao Huanzhang's banner. He really couldn't figure out, the Xiguan army had already retreated to the north, how could there be such an army from behind him.

The strength of the Xiguan Army is actually not as strong as the Beishan Army, but the Beishan Army was already at a disadvantage in the first confrontation.

This Beishan army was not prepared for a fight at all, and was completely caught off guard. On the other hand, the Xiguan army had planned long ago, and their morale was like a rainbow, like a tiger descending the mountain.

If the two armies confronted each other head-on, the Beishan Army might not be so vulnerable. However, under such circumstances, these thousands of Beishan soldiers were beaten from top to bottom, and I couldn't believe that there would be such a change.

With blood flying and screaming, the Xiguan Army and the Beishan Army had already mixed together and intertwined with each other, completely turning into a bloody hand-to-hand battle.

Pu Cunrui was horrified, but at such a time, he could only stand up and fight. He brandished his saber and hacked and killed several enemy soldiers in a row. Can turn chaos into chaos, and shouted sharply: "Brothers, cut off the head of a Xiguan soldier and reward you with 50 taels of silver. Everyone grab the silver."

At this time, he can only use this most primitive method to motivate his subordinates to fight to the death. After all, the troops under him are not at a disadvantage, and if they fight to the death, they may not lose.

It's a pity that the battlefield was chaotic. Some Beishan Army soldiers were caught off guard by the Xiguan Army. They were terrified and broke up.

In the army formation, a tall and burly general of the Xiguan Army held a huge axe in his hand. The giant ax rolled over, and a spear stabbed at the side. The man swung the giant axe, and the cold air dissipated, and the spear broke the head. The fierce tiger among the flocks takes the lead and is invincible with a huge axe. No one in the Beishan army can be the enemy.

This Xiguan army was commanded by Lu Cunxiao. He walked on foot, and wherever he passed, people's heads rolled and blood was all over the sky. The master general used his life like this, and the Xiguan soldiers naturally would not spare their lives.

In the army formation, Lu Cunxiao blazed a path paved with blood. He was unstoppable. His whole body was covered with blood. The Beishan soldiers saw such a brave killing god. Wherever they dared to approach, wherever he went, The Beishan soldiers ran away like frightened rabbits. They were really unstoppable. Seeing Pu Cunrui wielding a long knife not far away and killing several Xiguan soldiers in succession, Lu Cunxiao roared, walked like flying, raised his giant axe, and rushed towards Pu Cunrui .

Pu Cunrui cut down an enemy soldier, and suddenly heard a huge roar not far away. Following the sound, he saw Lu Cunxiao, who was like the ancient god of war, trying to rush over by himself. The blood-stained giant ax Dispersing the murderous aura, at this very moment, Pu Cunrui felt guilty, as if he had lost the courage to fight.

Before accepting the move, Pu Cunrui knew that he was not the enemy's opponent. The strong murderous aura on the opponent's body was far behind him. He was horrified and wondered when the Xiguan Army would have such a fierce and brave general. Subconsciously, he slashed with the long saber, turned around and left without preparing to fight Lu Cunxiao.
