There are many soldiers in Liangshan, but the imperial army of Dongping Mansion is lack of training. After a long time without fighting, after the two armies fought for a while, the imperial army of Dongping Mansion gradually became exhausted.
"Dong Dujian didn't listen to me, and fell into the enemy's line, what should I do?" Cheng Wanli, the governor of Dongping Prefecture, climbed to the top of the city, looked at the two armies fighting outside the city, and asked anxiously.
Although Cheng Wanli, the magistrate, did not know about soldiers, after the generals guarding the city above the city gate gave him some pointers, he could also see that Dong Ping had fallen into siege and the officers and soldiers were at a disadvantage.
Dong Ping, the military supervisor, led more than half of the forbidden army out of the city to challenge the Liangshanpo bandit army. If he was defeated, the Dongping mansion would have no soldiers to defend, so it would fall into the hands of the bandits?
Although it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and the weather was expected to be chilly, the magistrate Cheng Wanli was still in a cold sweat.
"Don't worry, magistrate, I'm Ximen Qing!" Ximen Qing, Wang Jin, Jiao Ting, and Lu Junyi found several armors in the barracks and changed into them, and then came to the south gate.
"Official Ximen, you came at a good time! Look at the battle outside the city, how should we deal with it?" The magistrate Cheng Wanli saw Ximen Qing and others coming to the city, and felt a little more at ease.
Ximen Qing and Wang Jin came to the city wall and looked down.After watching for a moment, Wang Jin whispered to Ximen Qing: "Then Dong Dujian is really a reckless man, how can he be the leader of the army!"
On the battlefield outside the city, Chao Gai, the "Tuota Heavenly King" in iron armor, and Wu Yong, the "Smart Star" dressed as a scribe, commanded the battle on the high hill outside the city. Chao Gai also pointed a spear in his hand and laughed at Dong Ping.
That Dong Ping completely disregarded that the forbidden army behind him was no match for the Liangshan army, so he fought hard to kill Chao Gai who insulted him on Gao Gang.It's a pity that Fan Rui, Xiang Chong, Li Gun and others have already led the army and trapped Dong Ping in a tight siege.
I saw Dong Ping surrounded in the formation. If he voted east, Wu Yong would point the flag to the east, and the army and horses would surround him eastward.If he throws himself to the west, the flag will point to the west, and the army will surround him westward.
Dong Ping went on a rampage in the formation, his two spears killed Zheng's robe with blood, but he still couldn't get close to Chao Gai and Wu Yong.When he wanted to make a bloody road and break out of the siege, he was blocked by Xiang Chong and Li Gun's regiment soldiers.
This "Two Spears" Dong Ping is really a brave and foolhardy man!This person may be able to be a single-handed fighter, but he is definitely not suitable for leading an army independently.Seeing this, Ximen Qing and Wang Jin kept shaking their heads.
Dong Ping can't be allowed to mess around outside the city.If he lost thousands of officers and soldiers outside the city because of his willfulness, it would be difficult to defend Dongping Mansion, and I would need to invest more troops.
As soon as Ximenqing thought about this, he persuaded the magistrate Cheng Wanli to ring the gong to withdraw the troops.
Cheng Wanli, the magistrate, pointed to the city, and said to Ximen Qing: "Dong Dujian is still surrounded by bandit soldiers. Withdrawing troops at this time, Dong Dujian is bound to be doomed! Look, senior officials, our army also has capable men." , They are about to rescue Dong Dujian!"
Ximen Qing raised his eyes and saw Wang Jun jumping on his horse and raising his gun, struggling to kill the Liangshan bandit army in front of him, leading a group of men and horses to rush towards Dong Ping, wanting to rescue Dong Ping and get out of trouble.
Although Cheng Wanli had some disagreements with Dong Ping on weekdays, he often ran against the supervisor Dong Ping in his words, but he didn't make trouble at critical moments.Based on this alone, this guy is much better than that Dong Ping.
It's a pity that Cheng Wanli is a literati and doesn't know the dangers of the battle.Although Wang Jun's momentum was fierce, he was outnumbered.If he insisted on rescuing Dong Ping, he might risk his own life.
Forget it, you can't watch Wang Jun die in battle, and thousands of soldiers outside the city are wiped out by bandits.Ximenqing challenged Cheng Wanli, the prefect, to lead troops to rescue Dong Ping.
In the camp of the Liangshan army, Dong Ping was so savage, he rushed like a headless chicken for a long time, and his beautiful white robe and silver armor were dyed red.In the crowd, he suddenly saw a monster dressed as a Taoist priest, but wearing armor, with a hammer in his left hand and a sword in his right.
The person Dong Ping saw was Fan Rui, the "Devil Lord of Confusion".Fan Rui is protected by hundreds of regiments of soldiers in front of him, and there are two generals Xiang Chong and Li Gun on the left and right to protect him. He is not afraid of Dong Ping.
Seeing Dong Ping coming to kill, Fan Rui pointed with his sword, and Xiang Chong and Li Gun waved their team cards to attack Dong Ping.
Dong Ping was wielding two spears in his forehand to pick away several regiment soldiers, and suddenly there was a sound of the wind, and two javelins flew straight towards his face and abdomen.
Dong Ping didn't have time to dodge, he waved his arms vigorously and hit the silver spear in his hand, knocking the two javelins thrown by the enemy general into the ground.
At this moment, Dong Ping stepped off the horse but let out a mournful cry, and fell sideways.Dong Ping was nimble and jumped away in a hurry, so that he was not crushed by the horse.
It turned out that when "Flying Sage" Li Dang threw a javelin to divert Dong Ping's main force, "Eight-armed Nezha" Xiang Chong threw two throwing knives from both sides, hitting the vital point of Dong Ping's war horse.
Military advisor Wu Yong wanted to capture Dong Ping alive, but at this moment he killed his mount, making Dong Ping even more difficult to fly.
Dong Ping lost his horse and fought against the bandits on foot, making the situation even more critical.Just at this time, a loud shout came from behind: "Don't panic, the prison, the end is here!"
Dong Ping killed the enemies around him, looked back, and saw Wang Jun leading a group of men and horses to fight in front of him.
"Wang Jun, good time! Give me a horse, I'll go and kill Chao Gai!" Dong Ping shouted excitedly.
Before Wang Jun could answer, he heard commotion behind him.He immediately raised his head to look around, but it was Yu Baosi who took the road and fled with his subordinates, causing the struggling Dongping Mansion officers and troops to collapse instantly, and they all retreated to the south gate of Dongping Mansion City.Behind Wang Jun, there were only more than 100 officers and soldiers of his headquarters left at this time.
"Damn it! Why did Yu Baosi, who was in charge of the break, retreat? We only need to hold on for a while, and I'll have a chance to break through!" Wang Jun cursed angrily when he saw that the more than a hundred people he led were also surrounded heavily.
How could Yu Baosi retreat because he couldn't support himself? He had colluded with Chao Gai and Wu Yong for a long time, and what he was waiting for was to disturb the morale of the army and sell both Dong Ping and Wang Jun to the Liangshan bandits.
Yu Baosi had been pretending to cope with the battle with his men of hundreds of bandit backgrounds, but at this time he was fleeing towards the south gate of Dongpingfu City with all his strength.While they were running away, they cried hard for their father and mother, which made the other imperial guards panic and lose all fighting spirit, and retreated to the city gate in a swarm.
Yu Baosi ran up the suspension bridge first, and was about to enter the city, but he heard the sound of horseshoes, and suddenly a group of men and horses rushed out from the city.
"Cheng Zhifu has an order, whoever kills a thief will be rewarded, and whoever retreats will be beheaded!"
Ximen Qing, Lu Junyi, and Wang Jin came out with soldiers and horses, Ximen Qing and Wang Jin shouted at the top of their voices.
"Whoever kills a thief will be rewarded! Those who retreat will be killed!" The army rushing out of the city shouted in unison.
Chapter 527 The Ruan Danxiang Army Enters the Battle
Is there any army in this city that can fight?Yu Baosi was taken aback for a moment. When he saw Ximen Qing charging towards him on horseback, he froze with fright and stood on the suspension bridge, not knowing whether to move forward or back.
Ximen Qing didn't give Yu Baosi a chance to think about it. When he rode past Yu Baosi on horseback, he squeezed out deliberately, knocking the panicked Yu Baosi and his team into the moat under the suspension bridge.
Yu Baosi's subordinates saw Ximenqing's army approaching fiercely, and hurriedly dispersed to make way. Some of the most loyal cronies had already jumped into the cold moat to rescue Yu Baosi.
The imperial army outside the city lost the command of the general and was already in chaos. At this moment, they heard a tidy roar and saw a support army from the city. Their morale recovered a little, and they turned around and followed Ximen Qing's team to fight back.
Wearing armor, Yu Baosi, with the help of more than a dozen confidantes, struggled to climb ashore from the moat, looked at the army behind Ximen Qing and the others tremblingly, and couldn't believe his eyes.
These people are of uneven stature, aren't they Xiangjun who only do coolies on weekdays?They also dare to go out to kill the enemy?
How did Yu Baosi know that the sergeants of the Xiang army might be like sheep to Dong Ping and his men, but in the hands of Ximen Qing and the others, they turned into wolves that could bite people.
It would be a lie to say that these Xiang troops are not afraid, but there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Ximen Qing's generosity last night has subdued their army's morale, and Ximen Qing's two hundred elites cleared the way in front of the team, which also added some strength to them. courage.
At this time, when they came out of the city, after seeing the bravery of the three chief generals Ximen Qing, Wang Jin and Lu Junyi, the courage of these Xiang troops doubled, and they finally dared to fight the enemy with guns and knives like soldiers.
Both Wang Jin and Lu Junyi were fierce generals with incredible bravery. They each held a long spear, and they were drawn into the Liangshan army like two dragons. There was a bloody storm.
Ximen Qing carried a carved bow and a wolf-toothed arrow on his back, and charged into the group of thieves with two knives in his hand. His arms danced like two wheels, chopping off the heads of the robbers. His majesty was not inferior to that of Wang Jin and Lu Junyi. .
Under the fierce rush of the three, the robbers who were chasing and killing the officers and soldiers of Dongping Mansion suffered a head-on blow. With heavy casualties, their morale was weakened and they retreated one after another.
When Chao Gai and Wu Yong met on Gaogang, they hurriedly waved the command flag and beat the drums, ordering more young men to kill them, blocking the way of Ximen Qing and others, and fighting with the people who came out of the city. The support troops fought together.
In the Liangshan Army's formation, Generals Dong Ping and Wang Junyou were fighting hard, but the soldiers around them had already gone to ten or nine, and there were not many left.
Although Dong Ping was brave, the regiment soldiers under Fan Rui who surrounded him were the strongest infantry among the Liangshan bandits, with strong defensive capabilities.After they formed a battle formation, even with Dong Ping's courage, they couldn't charge out.
Xiang Chong and Li Gun also flew a javelin or a throwing knife from time to time, which made Dong Ping and Wang Juner distracted and tired of parrying.
Just when Dong Ping and Wang Jun were exhausted from fighting and could not resist the enemy, the regiment soldiers under Fan Rui's three men fell into confusion and were rushed into the formation by a group of troops.Dong Ping and Wang Jun hurriedly looked, and it was Ximen Qing and the three who led the soldiers and horses, killed and dispersed the regiment's soldiers, and entered the formation.
"Dong Dujian! General Wang! Ximen Qing came late for rescue! The two generals will follow me out!" Ximen Qing said to Dong Ping and Wang Jun.
At this time, they were in a dangerous place, not a place to talk, after Dong Ping and Wang Juner thanked each other, they rode their horses to join Ximen Qing's team, and turned back to fight back.
Chao Gai and Wu Yong fought fiercely for a long time, how could they let Dong Ping go so easily?Seeing that Dong Ping was about to leave, Chao Gai yelled: "You guys, come with me!" He rushed down the hill with a group of men and horses.
