Chapter 438 The murderous aura steams under the city of Hangzhou

There are nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses in Hangzhou.

Although the former Guabao was defeated for a while, Cao Cao was rescued in time. Only five or six thousand people were killed or injured. Now there are still 70,000 combat soldiers.

On March 22, Tong Guan led his troops out of the camp, trying to cross the river and siege the city.

Seeing the actions of the officers and soldiers in the city, they hurriedly opened the Beiguan gate. The Great Marshal of Beixuan, Si Xingfang, took two generals with one knife, led three thousand soldiers out, blocked the Jiangzhang Bridge, and saw the officers and soldiers rushing towards him. The arrows were like rain on the city, blocking him on the other side.

Seeing that he was anxious and sad, Tong Guan called back his troops and shouted, "When the heavenly soldiers arrived, why not surrender early? If you are willing to surrender in front of the formation, I will make the decision to forgive you for your previous crimes and allow you to commit crimes in the army."

Seeing that he was golden helmet and armor, he was extraordinary, and guessed that it must be Tong Guan. He smiled at the sky and shouted loudly: "It is necessary to ask grandpa to surrender. But grandpa has always loved wiseness, so how could he be with a slander? Let's take Zhu Xie, Cai Jing, Yang Jian and a few traitors, as well as your own head, and they all asked the Zhao Guan family to come here in person, so grandpa dismounted and surrendered."

When Tong Guan heard this, he was furious and pointed at him: "How dare you insult the ministers if you go to take the heads of others with me?"

The general Wang Bin wanted to steal the title, and slapped his horse and speared, rushed to the bridge in anger, shouting: "That thief, I am the general Wang Bin of Song! Do you dare to fight with me to the death?"

Wang Bing followed Tong Guan to conquer Wang Qing and made many contributions. He was granted the title of Wuzhou Observation Envoy and the commander of the infantry army. Now he followed Tong Guan to fight Fang La, and he has never fought all the way. At this moment, he is trying to show his priests in front of others and establish his authority.

Si Xingfang also heard that this man was brave and was about to come forward to compete with him. A flying general next to him shouted: "Why do you need to use a ox-cutting knife to kill a chicken? The Northern Commander asked to scoop the last general and wait for me to kill him!" After that, he danced with two bronze swords and took Wang Bing straight.

The bridge is seven or eight feet wide, just like a battlefield for fighting generals. The two horses intersected one by one, each with anger, and killed a group of them.

Wang Ji was a native of Jinling. When he was in the village, he was a disciple of the same army with Ma Lin. Ma Lin played the iron flute well and was known as the "Iron Flute Immortal". Wang Ji also played the bells and tambourines, and was known as the "Iron Drum Immortal".

Later, they all achieved their own skills and had different experiences in the world. Ma Lin and Ou Peng, Jiang Jing, Tao Zongwang and others went to Huangmen Mountain to make trouble. Wang Ji joined the Ming Cult. Later, he specially went to Huangmen Mountain to invite his senior brother to join the group. Unfortunately, Ma Lin had already left with Cao Cao at that time, leaving only Xiao Su in the barren mountain.

Wang Ji's two copper knives swung, just like the wind blowing jade chips, and the snow scattered jade flowers. Tong Guan was confused and said in surprise: "This thief general is amazing!"

Liu Yanqing next to him looked at it with a clear look. Where could he see clearly with his presbyopia? He comforted him randomly: "Master-in-law, don't be shocked. If that guy really beats Wang Bing, he will only take one arrow and let him fall into the dust." Tong Guan felt at ease after hearing this.

Wang Bing and Wang Ji fought seven or eight moves, shouting: "What you learn are all fancy tricks in the world, how dare you fight against me?"

He shot his hand and was as fast as thunder. He penetrated his sword shadow and penetrated into his throat. He exhaled with a "hey" sound, picking two feet away.

There is a poem that praises Wang Bing this gun:

The gun is like thunder and it is too late to see it, but the attack is like electric shock and hate is hard to resist.

When the first fight at the city of Hangzhou was in full swing, the iron drums were no longer revived.

When Si Xingfang saw Wang Ji, he was furious and shouted: "Don't leave the enemy general, and leave your life to pay tribute to my brother Wang Ji."

Wang Bing said proudly: "One comes, one dies, two come, one dies." He held a gun and confronted him.

Although Si Xingfang's sword was slightly inferior to Shi Bao, it was also famous in Jiangnan. Wang Bing was already a famous general among the Song generals. The two of them were powerful and fought for forty years and evenly matched.

Tong Guan said unhappily: "Wang Bingsu praised his bravery and was just killing the thief general, so he was still quick to be the one who could not take him down for a long time?"

After hearing this from his father, Liu Guangshi hurriedly said, "Report to the general Wang De, the young general under the command, nicknamed "Yasha". He has the courage to be unstoppable. Please allow him to join the battle and help General Wang with his arm."

Tong Guan smiled and said, "Let him try it. If he is really brave, why is this coach stingy to promote him?"

Liu Guangshi was overjoyed and hurriedly destroyed Wang De to the formation. Wang De cheered up and rushed out with a big axe. Huang Ai, the "stone lion" on the southern army, saw it and woke up suddenly: Didn't the soldiers who had defeated before say that a soldier in the Song army killed Wu Zhi? Could it be this person? He happened to avenge him.

It turned out that the "Iron Lion" Wu Zhi, whom Wang De had killed before, was Huang Aiyi's brother, Jinlan, and the two were collectively called "Iron and Stone Double Lions".

He immediately shouted, "Are two and one? Come and fight with me!" He swung the iron stick in his hand and destroyed the horse and stopped Wang De.

Wang De's methods were more ruthless than Wang Bing. He had only one confrontation, and he had already cut Huang Ai down on the horse. He kept fighting and killed directly towards Si Xingfang.

Seeing that he was doing this, how could Si Xingfang dare to fight against two? He lost a flaw and ran away. Wang Bing and Wang De rushed over the bridge, shot and killed him with an axe, and the blood was rolling. The southern soldiers screamed and fled.

Tong Guan was overjoyed when he saw this. He pointed to his whip and fought over the bridge. The soldiers and horses under his command fled back to the city. He hurriedly taught the defenders to shoot arrows in the city. Wang Bing and Wang De were all wearing heavy armor and rushed into the southern army, desperately robbing the city gate.

At this time, Fang Tianding came, was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly ordered Guancheng. Si Xingfang said panic: "The boys are still outside."

Fang Tianding said angrily: "Hangzhou is important? Their lives are important? Close the door!" As he said that, he snatched the small pawn's big axe, cut off the rope with one axe, and the gate fell down with a bang, and suddenly smashed several southern soldiers underground into meat paste.

Wang Bing and Wang De were splashed with minced flesh on his face as soon as they rushed to the front, and their hair stood up in fear: It would be a little later, and they would also turn into mud.

It turned out that the city of Hangzhou was built by King Qian in the past. All of them were three levels: the outer layer was a gate plate, weighing more than a thousand kilograms, and the middle was two iron leaf gates, and the innermost was a row of gates.

The three thousand people who followed Sixing to fight only fled back seven or eight hundred. The rest of them all fell outside the door and were killed by Tong Guan's army. The defenders on the city fired arrows one after another, and the officers and soldiers raised their shields and shot many of their soldiers.

Soon, all the soldiers outside the city were killed. When Tong Guan saw that the iron gate was released, it was difficult to enter for a while, so he ordered Wang De to lead 5,000 troops to attack, and Wang Bing led 5,000 troops along the canal to attack Genshan Gate, and ordered the generals Yang Keshi, Zhao Ming and Xin Xingzong to lead 30,000 troops to go around the east of the city to attack Qingchun Gate, Qingtai Gate, and Wangjiang Gate.

He was also afraid that the southern army would abandon the city and flee south, so he ordered Liu Zhen to lead the Jingyuan troops of his headquarters to occupy Fengshan, cut off his way to escape south, and asked Huang Di to lead the Fuyan troops of his headquarters to occupy the Xishan Mountain to prevent him from crossing the West Lake and fleeing.

He led the remaining troops and horses to the north bank of the canal, observing Wang De and Wang Bing attacked the city.

At this point, all sides of Hangzhou were surrounded by Tong Guan.

There were already arrangements in Hangzhou: Marshal Nanli defended the South City, Marshal Dongqing defended the East City, Marshal Xirui defended the West City, Marshal Beixuan defended the North City. Now that Sixingfang is not fighting effectively, he is almost robbed of the city gate. Fang Tianding and Fang Qifu personally commanded the guard to the north, leaving him alone to regret and cry.

Outside the city, Yang Keshi, Zhao Ming and Xin Xingzong led 20,000 Huanqing soldiers and 10,000 Xihe soldiers to attack Dongcheng. They went around the east of the city and saw that outside the moat, to a large area of ​​land along the river, were filled with people.

It turns out that Hangzhou has been prosperous for many years, and the city is limited after all. The canal in the south, west, Hubei, can only be open to the east, so you can live and work in peace. Over the years, the villages and roads are still as good as the city. Xin Xingzong immediately showed a look of greed when he looked at it.

The three of them decided to separate their own families. Yang Keshi and Zhao Ming went to attack Qingtai and Wangjiang Gate. Xin Xingzong led Xihe troops to attack Qingchun Gate. When the two led their troops to go far away, Xin Xingzong did not hurry to attack the city. He summoned his subordinates and said to them: "Our army was defeated several days ago. Now the morale of the men has not yet recovered. How can we fight? I see that the people here are rich. Since Hangzhou has been occupied by thieves, these people are all thieves. The general's intention is to first wipe out all the villages outside his city, so that the men can eat a bet, and then go to the city to attack. Wouldn't they be more powerful?"

When the generals heard this, they all were very happy and said, "The general said it very well. I think we will suffer from eating sand in the northwest, and fight bloody battles with the people of Xixia every year. He enjoys peace here, but he dares to follow the thief. If he doesn't teach a lesson, the people of the world will learn from him."

Xin Xingzong raised his head and laughed: "That's right! You will be able to lead your troops to teach these traitors a lesson. Remember, all the property is divided into three points. I will get one point together. If you wait for it, you will get one point. The rest will belong to the children. If there are any children who hide without accepting them, they will be exposed to the public."

The slaves laughed so hard that their mouths were full of teeth, and they slapped them one after another: "Sons, you must love the Lord so much, who dares to hide it? You really don't want to be a son, and you will only strip him by your own hands."

Xin Xingzong looked at the defenders on the city wall again, his eyes turned, and said, "You don't have to go all the time, Xin Jia, Xin Chou, Xin You, and Xin Ding, four of them, will lead a thousand fights, this, this, this."

The four he pointed out were all generals of his Xin family. He followed his father for many years and is now in the army as the head of the capital and the marquis of Yu.

When the four of them heard this, they immediately looked disappointed, but they did not dare to disobey the order and led their own people.

The other generals also led their own troops and left in all directions. For a moment, fires rose in the village, howling, screaming, begging for mercy, and burst into laughter. Xin Xingzong felt like hearing the music of immortals and laughed in love.

Li Tianrun guarded the city wall on the east side and personally sat in the center of Qingtai Gate. The guard of the Qingchun Gate was Chao Zhong, the "beheaded man" who was now holding a ghost-headed sword and looked at the chaos outside the city with a calm face.

The little leader under his command said angrily: "General Chao Fei, look at these officers and soldiers, they are even more cruel than our rebellion! When we entered Hangzhou in the past, the killings were not as fierce as that. And that general Song, who was so arrogant and unprepared, how about we go out and kill him?"

Chao Zhong looked at what he pointed, and indeed Xin Xingzong got off his horse and sat under a big tree, with only more than ten guards around him.

He moved his heart and shook his head slowly and said, "No! The eldest prince sent people to spread the various sects just now. Have you never heard of it? Marshal Si has suffered a defeat. If anyone dares to go out of the city to fight again, he will be killed without mercy."

When the little leader heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, looking at the officers and soldiers outside the city to commit violence, and he was so angry that he stamped his feet.

Suddenly, someone said in a deep voice behind him: "The order of your young leader's general has never been passed to me. Brother Chao, you are guarding the city yourself, and open the door and let me fight with Liangshan brothers, at least you will be angry with the people of Hangzhou."

Chao Zhong turned his head, but saw Cao Cao staring at the tragic phenomenon outside the city, his face as deep as water, and his tone was indebted: "I won't let you make things difficult for you. I will tell the young leader that he is my brother, and this face must be given to me."

Chao Zhong took a breath and nodded, "The officers and soldiers are powerful, brothers, be careful!"

It turned out that Cao Cao had been inspecting the city defense with Fang Tianding during the day, and thought alone at night, how to make him lose quickly without showing any expression, and how to protect the strength of the Ming Cult as much as possible.

Today, when the officers and soldiers attacked the city, they immediately ordered their troops to wait for the opportunity. Unexpectedly, seeing Xin Xingzong robbing the troops, he felt a move in his heart and thought to himself: I came to support under the banner of Liangshan, but I must not lose the power of Liangshan. This western soldiers are lawless, and they just need to use him to establish their authority first. If they lose them later, they will not harm our face!

He called out a group of brothers and whispered: "He has many soldiers and horses. When you go to war, you must not fall into a siege. Just do this and this, and then this and this..."

After the arrangement was completed, Chao Zhong asked the city gate to open the suspension bridge. Five generals led dozens of cavalry and more than a hundred bows and cavalry to gallop out.

Which five generals? General Tang Bin, Shi Jin, Shi Dalang, Chen Da and Yang Chun, Fan Rui and Fan Demon King.

When Xin Xingzong saw a cavalry running towards him, he was not surprised but happy. He stood up and pointed at the horse and laughed, "Rebel, I'm plotting! Yes? It's you!"

But he saw Tang Bin and Shi Jin's appearance clearly. Shi Jin killed his second brother. Tang Bin stabbed him with a spear. He suddenly felt wounded and his heart ached. He gritted his teeth and said, "Hold you, you will be finely cut."

Before he finished speaking, a guard next to him took out his horns and whimpered, and suddenly he went around the house and hundreds of people shouted and shouted.

Xin Xingzong was displeased and surprised when he saw this. He clearly ambushed a thousand people, and he planned to take the initiative to fight him if the enemy general saw that he was alone and took the risk of fighting, so he would use the ambush to attack him. Maybe he could take the opportunity to steal the city. However, the war soldiers rushing out at this moment were only four or five hundred. The four great generals, only Xin Jia and Xin Chou appeared.

But I don’t know that people are not worried about being weak, but only worry about unevenness. Other robberies are plundering. But these thousand people are left as ambushers. How could they be willing to do it? The four generals of the family secretly negotiated and said that when the battle between Beimen Pass, the bandits will inevitably be scared, so how dare they go out lightly? It would be better for everyone to take turns plundering, and it would be better to travel thousands of miles away to fight in Jiangnan.

Finally, the Xin family was still very strict in their military management, and at least half of them were left behind.

Among the Xihe soldiers, there were also cavalrymen, but they were not convenient to ambush and they all went to rob them. The infantrymen came out here. Tang Bin shouted from afar and shot arrows. The archers raised their backs and waved arrows, shooting twenty or thirty people.

With this round of arrows, the ambushers were a little slow and had no time to line up. Shi Jin and Tang Bin rushed in side by side, and the three sharp swords and steel spears danced, and they immediately killed one after another.

The two generals of the Xin family were very anxious and fought against the Malaysians. Yang Chun and Chen Da stepped forward bravely. After a few rounds of battle, they killed the two of them on the horse.
