Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1108 The Demon Venerable Visits
"Deputy Army Commander, Deputy Army Commander, the chief guard of Liangping City is called Wei Ziyong, and he led about 1000 people to escape through the west gate." Gao Xingzhong, the commander of the first cavalry brigade and first battalion, galloped to report loudly to Wen Zitao.

"Deputy Army Commander, let your subordinates lead the cavalry to pursue Wei Ziyong." Before Wen Zitao could speak, Gao Xingzhong said loudly.

Wen Zitao said with a smile: "Okay, let your battalion go after them, don't chase them too closely, remember, don't let them run away. Before the army commander attacked the city, he had already expected that the Song army who slipped through the net would flee to the direction of Longguan. So I have already brought more than [-] infantry and [-] cavalry to set up a net, waiting for them to bump into it!"

In the cold wind, Wei Ziyong led more than 1000 soldiers against the cold wind, and fled desperately towards Longguan in the dark, because behind him, he could vaguely see a fire dragon coming towards them. Wei Ziyong complained bitterly about the Xiangfu cavalry who came to chase them down. There is still more than 100 miles to Longguan, can he escape?
In the darkness, there was a loud shout of killing, and suddenly thousands of torches were lit in front of them and on the left and right sides. watch them.

Ambush?

Wei Ziyong was in despair for a moment. Through the firelight, he found that there were at least tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him and on the left and right sides. Everyone was holding the steel string bow of the legendary Xiangfu Kingdom. As long as the opponent shoots a volley, all the thousand or so people will die.

"Surrender, don't kill!" Wei Ziyong was in front of a cavalry brigade, and Yang Kaijun, the brigade commander at the front, shouted loudly. As the other party shouted, the soldiers in the front row shot their steel-string bows instantly.

buzzing...

Amidst the terrifying vibration of steel strings, a rain of arrows fell. Wei Ziyong and others waved their weapons in despair, but these sharp arrows did not shoot at them, but landed around them, more than 1000 people, forming a There was a prison of arrows.Walking through the gate of hell at this moment, Wei Ziyong and others were terrified, their faces were pale, and they broke out in a cold sweat in the middle of the cold winter night.

"General, let's surrender!" A battalion commander next to Wei Liaoyong finally couldn't help but said.

"General, let's surrender!" A dozen officers said at the same time.

"General, let's surrender!" More than 1000 people said in unison.

Wei Ziyong smiled wryly, threw the weapon in his hand on the ground, and said, "We surrender."

Han Tao, the head of the White Tiger Legion, laughed from behind: "Assuming you are wise, if His Majesty hadn't confessed, you would all be His Majesty's soldiers sooner or later. Let us kill less. You were all dead just now."

Dang Jin led [-] defeated soldiers all the way back to Gyeongju, and immediately ordered to prepare to defend the city. According to his estimation, the army of Xiangfu Kingdom will arrive in half a day at most, besiege Gyeongju, and then launch a violent attack.There were originally [-] troops in the city, and with the [-] who came back, there were still [-] troops in Qingzhou City.Now, they can't defeat the same number of troops in the Xiangfu Kingdom in field battles, but Dangjin is confident that he can hold Gyeongju when three or four armies of the other side attack at the same time, but only if there is enough food in the city.

Dang Jin immediately arranged for someone to count how much food was in the city, and when his subordinates left, Dang Jin suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned around abruptly, and found a young man with lavender pupils sitting on a chair in the corner of the living room at some point. people.

Dang Jin's pupils constricted, but he was not an ordinary person after all. After his complexion changed several times, he did not immediately call for guards outside the door, but asked in a deep voice, "Who is your Excellency?"

The young man smiled slightly, with an indescribable and inexplicable evil, and said, "I am Cui Xi."

Dang Jin narrowed his eyes, but his heart skipped a beat. How could he not know who Cui Xi was when he was in his position.Cui Xi sneaked into the court of Xiangfu Kingdom by himself, seriously injured the famous Jade Empress, and then seriously injured Ye Chen. No matter how many troops were dispatched, they failed to keep him behind.Although it is difficult for such a character to resist a ten thousand army, sometimes it is more terrifying than an army of ten thousand or even a hundred thousand. For example, if Cui Xi wanted to kill another party today, he would not dare to say that he would be absolutely successful and retreat completely. , but with a high probability of success.

"It turns out that the Demon Lord is here. I don't know what the Demon Lord's arrival is?" Dang Jin is the commander of a large army after all. After being shocked, he calmed down and sat on the chair closest to the door. At the same time, he began to speculate about the arrival of the Demon Lord. Purpose.

Cui Xi smiled slightly, and said: "I am very short on time. After leaving the Dang Dashuai, I will go to the Liao State Privy Council envoy's fat once, so I will not talk nonsense with the Dang Dashuai. This letter to the Dang Dashuai first Let's talk after reading it!"

Before the words finished, Cui Xi raised his hand lightly, and an envelope flew out of his sleeve, like a fallen leaf, it floated gently towards Dangjin, and then landed firmly on the coffee table next to Dangjin.

Witnessing this miraculous process, Dang Jin was amazed and at the same time did not show any signs of expression. He picked up the envelope and looked carefully at the outside. He tore open the sealed letter and took out a letter written on common Sichuan bamboo paper. letter.He didn't read the content of the letter first, but the signature of the letter and the big seal on the signature.

After Dang Jin saw it clearly, his complexion changed again. He raised his head and took a deep look at Cui Xi who was resting up, and then lowered his head to read the contents of the letter carefully.

I don't know what was written in the letter, but in the middle of writing, Dang Jin stood up abruptly, then read the letter carefully, and then read it word by word from beginning to end for the second time.

After reading it, Dang Jin narrowed his eyes slightly. Seeing this, Cui Xi didn't speak, but just glanced at the sky outside the window.

After a while, Dang Jin opened his eyes, looked at Cui Xi and said, "I want to know who in Xiangfu Kingdom is uniting with us to deal with Ye Chen, otherwise it will be hard to believe."

Cui Xi obviously knew that Dangjin would ask such a question a long time ago, so he said the name lightly.

After Dang Jin heard this, his face was in disbelief, but then he suddenly realized, and said: "I hope that the prime minister's plan of driving away tigers, devouring wolves and then killing tigers will succeed, and completely solve the danger of our Great Song Dynasty."

Li Chenghao, the guard of Longguan, was eating lunch when he received the news that Liangping City had been attacked and fallen. With a clang, the wine glass bought from a merchant from Xiangfu Kingdom, which cost 50 taels of silver, fell to the ground and shattered.

"How many people are attacking?" Looking at the scouts he sent out, Li Chenghao stood up abruptly.

"Back to the general, the villain only saw cavalry, about [-] cavalry. They attacked Liangping City overwhelmingly. At that time, the villain saw that Liangping City was already in flames. He expected that the enemy must have attacked the city, so he didn't dare to attack the city." They came closer and rushed towards Longguan, unexpectedly, there were enemy rangers along the way, and they were almost stopped." The spies were terrified.

"They want to keep the news shut. By the way, since the enemy cavalry is attacking and Liangping City is already on fire, it means that there are lurking enemies in Liangping City. Most of Liangping City is gone, but I don't know if General Wei Ziyong has escaped. ?" Li Chenghao asked.

"I don't know. When the villain was leaving, he heard the screams of killing from Liangping City. There are so many enemy troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult for General Wei to escape."

Li Chenghao still wanted to ask again, but suddenly bursts of alarm bells sounded outside, and the bell rang throughout the Longguan. Li Chenghao took off the saber hanging on the wall, and ran out.

"The enemy is coming so fast!" Li Chenghao shouted loudly while running to the outside of the mansion: "Come on, pass the order down, the whole army muster, go up the city wall, the enemy is coming!"

When Li Chenghao climbed to the top of the city, the [-] northwest frontier troops on the top of the city were already waiting in full battle. One after another, giant guns, crossbows and stone throwing machines were pushed towards the city wall, which was more than seven feet high, and emerged from between the battlements. With ferocious sharp arrows, the catapults were twisted tightly, and stone bombs were placed into the catapults. The soldiers bent their bows and set arrows, aiming downward.The two sides of the city wall are directly connected to two extremely steep mountains. As long as this towering city wall is guarded, it will be difficult for the enemy troops to break through.

"It's General Wei from Liangping City!" A battalion commander suddenly exclaimed, "General Li, it's General Wei Ziyong from Liangping City. There are pursuers behind them."

Holding the saber tightly, Li Chenghao leaned over the city wall and watched a banner with the Wei character approaching rapidly in the distance. Four or five hundred rout soldiers followed the banner with the Wei character and rushed towards Longguan. Many people didn't even have weapons, and many people threw away their armor, spread their legs, and rushed towards this side desperately, and a few miles behind them, a snowflake flying dragon was trampled by flying hooves, is approaching rapidly.

"Commander Zhang, you take 1000 people out of the city to meet you. The long-range attack weapons on the city wall will be used to meet you. You must bring General Wei and his party into the city. Hurry up. Once General Wei enters the city, you will withdraw immediately. In the city, the opponent's horse is fast, so beware of the opponent taking the opportunity to rush up and seize the city gate." Li Chenghao said in a deep voice.

"The last general obeys orders." The battalion commander hurried down to the city, the gate of Longguan was opened, and a thousand northwest frontier troops lined up in several rows, ran out of the city neatly, crossed the suspension bridge, crossed the moat, formed an army formation, and separated in the middle , leaving a way for the fleeing Wei Ziyong to enter the city.

"General Wei, quickly enter the city!" The battalion commander headed by the Northwest Frontier Army stood among the pawns and shouted loudly at Wei Ziyong, who had thrown away his armor and fled.

"Thank you Commander Kou!" Wei Ziyong cupped his hands at the battalion commander, his face was covered with bruises, and the corners of his mouth were stained with blood. It was obvious that the two knew each other well.

Four or five hundred routs stepped onto the suspension bridge and rushed into the city gate. At the same time, the catapults began to roar on the city. The stone bullets fired by the catapults with a range of several miles flew towards the cavalry of Xiangfu Kingdom who were rushing towards them. The crossbow roared.
