Stunning weapon

The city wall in the east of Bao County is low and the terrain is flat. Except for the high mountains on both sides that limit the width of the road, there is nothing special about it. Although this place is not easy to attack and difficult to defend, the advantages brought by the terrain can almost Neglecting it, the attacks from both sides were extremely brutal.

The Southern Tang army is all elite, under the command of Li Yishan, the offensive is very fierce, the bows and arrows on Xiliang side have been shot, the low city wall has been piled up with corpses, and the advantage of height has been lost.

The Southern Tang army stepped on the corpse and climbed directly to the top of the city. The two sides fought close to each other, blood spattered, and screams continued.

At this time, the guard's face was also very ugly. As early as three days ago, they could not resist. If it hadn't been for the news that Mo Xiaochuan's imperial conquest was coming, and the reinforcements were coming, they might not be able to hold on until this time .

However, at this moment, they are at the end of their battles. The Southern Tang army has already overturned the city wall and occupied most of Baoxian County. If it hadn't been for Lin Feng to send someone to send an imperial decree, even if he fought to the last soldier, he would not be able to fight. If he abandons the city, he is afraid that the two of them will leave early.

Li Yishan's expression was not very good at this time, if he hadn't been scrupled and stopped for half a day to inquire about the news, Bao County would have already been captured by now, and now, if it took another half a day, there might be changes.Therefore, even though victory was imminent, he still did not dare to take it lightly and continued to increase his troops.

The Southern Tang army squeezed the Baoxian defenders like a tide, and soon they completely pushed the Baoxian defenders to the city gate.If you lose the city gate, everything will be lost, and if you want to regain it, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

After all, Li Yishan was not the Yan army who guarded the county at the time. With him in charge, even Mo Xiaochuan had no choice but to think of other ways, or take Dingzhou from Mozhou and besiege Li Yishan. If he really did that In other words, let alone the extremely long time-consuming, the manpower and material resources to be wasted, and the troops that need to be used are not comparable to today.What's more, in this way, Mo Xiaochuan will be away from Beijing for a longer time, and he is still on the move. This may cause turmoil in Xiliang, and it will buy time for Nantang. That said, it's all a terrible thing.

Therefore, this time, the order he issued was also very decisive. Even if the battle lasted until the end of the battle, he was not allowed to abandon the city. However, until now, the defenders have lost confidence. The Xiliang army has been completely huddled up to the city gate. The strength of 1 troops is now less than 7000, and the remaining [-] people have already opened the city gate and fled.

At this time, the general next to the guard also began to persuade: "General, we still retreat!"

The guard stared at him, and said: "The emperor has a decree, that is, to fight to the last man, he must defend, if he can withdraw."

"The emperor was also a soldier. If he knew the current situation, the emperor would not blame the general." The general persuaded.

Watching the Southern Tang army getting closer, the guard suddenly revealed a look of sadness on his face, shook his head slightly, and said: "You take the brothers and leave a way for them to survive. Today, this general will join forces with Baoxian County. Life and death, when the time comes, the emperor will not anger you..." After finishing speaking, the guard urged the horse to charge towards the Southern Tang army, but the general grabbed the reins tightly.

"Let go!" The guard said with a stare.

"General, don't do it!" As soon as the general's voice fell, suddenly, many of the soldiers showed surprise on their faces. The sword flew over at an extremely fast speed, "Ding Ding Ding..." There was a sound, and it fell on the ground, beheading many Southern Tang soldiers who were besieging the Xiliang Army on the spot.

"It's the emperor!" The guard's eyes widened, with surprise on his face.

The Southern Tang army was stunned for a moment.At this time, Li Yishan also frowned, and suddenly looked towards the sword light.At the same time, the Xiliang army who had fled before all rushed back at this time. With the sound of drums, the Xiliang army quickly rushed in from the city gate. The big flag next to the imperial flag has the word "Mo" written on it.

At the same time that the flag appeared, all the defenders in Bao County went crazy, shouting loudly: "The emperor is here, the emperor is here to save us..." Suddenly, the Xiliang army was like a rainbow, heading south. Tang Jun counterattacked.

The shock of the golden long sword and the arrival of reinforcements made the Southern Tang army feel lost. Although the two sides are still at a stalemate, the situation on Xiliang's side is getting better and better, and the number of people is also increasing .

Looking at the situation, Li Yishan knew that if this situation continued, it would be a matter of time before he retreated, so he couldn't help but sighed softly, and ordered to withdraw his troops.At this time, Mo Xiaochuan also came to the top of the city, watching Li Yishan leave from a distance, his face showed a bit of solemnity.

Li Yishan is obviously more difficult to deal with than Li Shaobai.Li Shaobai was too strong as a person and as a soldier, but Li Yishan knew how to advance and retreat, and was able to bend and stretch. Such a person was obviously much more difficult to deal with.

However, it was too easy for Li Yishan to leave so easily. With a wave of Mo Xiaochuan's hand, the Xiliang Army chased and killed the Southern Tang Army.

But retreat is different from defeat. Li Yishan took every step of the way and didn't give the Xiliang army too many opportunities.After driving the Southern Tang Army away fifteen miles away, Mo Xiaochuan ordered the troops to withdraw and did not pursue any more, because he knew that if he pursued further, Li Yishan would definitely be on his guard.

I'm afraid that the morale that has been managed with great difficulty will also be frustrated. Of course, Mo Xiaochuan would not do such a thing.

After stabilizing the morale of the army and asking Wang Changming to carefully arrange the defense, Mo Xiaochuan came to the residence that Lin Feng had already found, and at the same time, asked someone to bring the guard up.

The original garrison in Bao County was not many, and they were transferred from Dingzhou. Therefore, the defense of these two places was actually in charge of the defense of Dingzhou alone.This person was originally chosen by Situ Lin'er himself, and was recommended to Mo Xiaochuan. Mo Xiaochuan also inspected him, and then arranged to Dingzhou.Although this person is not superior in the use of troops, he is stable. Mo Xiaochuan has always been very reassuring about him, but he didn't want to. This time he gave Li Yishan a chance.He couldn't help but feel a little sad.

When the guard was brought up, he was already tied up tightly. When he saw Mo Xiaochuan, he knelt down and kowtowed his head on the ground: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed of trusting the Emperor, ashamed of my brothers..." As he spoke, he Instead, he began to cry.
