The battle of Daming Mansion was getting more and more fierce. Nianhan had not revealed his existence yet, but at this time Guo Yong and Zhao Bushi were already feeling strong pressure.
Now the situation is very dangerous. The Jin people under the city are attacking Changyuan County almost day and night. After Xue Yong was killed in battle, General Zhang Qiong could no longer hold on.
Just yesterday, he was finally carried off.
His body was covered in blood, and the number of scars was shocking.
Although Guo Yong and Zhao Bushi are very talented, neither of them have the same martial arts skills. In this situation, it is not easy for them to persist until now.
But even now, the two of them have never thought of mobilizing reinforcements from the rear.
"The soldiers and horses heading for Shandong Road have been sent out. The Jin attack suddenly became so frantic. I'm afraid they have received reinforcements from the rear.
If this is the case, then their soldiers and horses on Shandong Road may be suspicious soldiers.
If so, we set up a dragnet on Shandong Road, but in the end we just stepped into someone else's trap.
Daming Mansion... is in danger. "
General Guo Yong had already reacted, so he chose to hold on here to the end. At the same time, he did not mobilize troops from the rear like Yang Weizhong to come here, but chose the Shandong Road, which was about a similar distance away.
Because if the Daming Palace is lost, they will most likely die and die for the country, but the Central Plains will definitely not be lost. It is the bridgehead for their counterattack.
It's just that although they are ready to die to protect their homeland and live and die with Changyuan County, Nianhan does not intend to give them this opportunity.
"Report to the commander!" In the Jin camp, the spy in front of Nian Han was reporting the military information he had just discovered, "The guard Liu Ze who was left behind in Daming County, Daming Prefecture, has led troops to assist Changyuan County.
Now it is only a hundred miles away from Changyuan County! "
After hearing the news, everyone in the Jinren's tent was filled with joy. They knew that their plan to encircle the point and fight for reinforcements had been successful.
"How does the commander know that Liu Ze and others will definitely come to support?"
"Not only does a certain family know that they will definitely come, but they also know that Guo Yongzhao and others will not let them come unless they try."
At this time, Nianhan's face was full of smiles and a bit arrogant.
"Please give me some advice, Marshal." Gao Qingyi was Nianhan's confidant. At this time, he naturally knew how to flatter Nianhan, which made him even more excited.
"There are many traitors in the Song Dynasty court, but there are also many loyal people among the people of Song Dynasty. They work hard for the Song Dynasty and are not afraid of life and death.
But it was this kind of loyalty that made Liu Ze definitely not sit back and watch his colleagues die in Changyuan County.
Just like Zhao Bushi and Zhang Qiong knew that Xue Guangda was defeated and there was no need to rescue him, they still tried their best to rescue him like moths flying into the flame.
In addition, the current emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan, has a reputation for knowing people well and making good use of them.
This kind of ability is an excellent character in such a crisis, but nothing can be beneficial or harmful.
Zhao Huan has no doubts about employing people, which shows that the generals under his command have a high degree of autonomy.
This is their loyalty and their respectability.
As a general, you must not use childish plots and tricks, but you must take advantage of their psychology.
Since the Song people are loyal, let them be defeated by their own loyalty and independence.
If Mr. Zongze is still alive, it goes without saying that he is from the bandit generals of the Eight-Character Army or the orthodox Song Dynasty official and military officer who Guo Yongzhao did not try.
They all have to worry about their superiors and generals.
But Zongze died. Although Yang Weizhong took over Zongze's position, he could not take over Zongze's prestige.
Zhang Suo, the commander of the Eight-Character Army, Guo Yong, the governor of Daming Prefecture, and Yang Weizhong, the remnant of the Western Army, are equally prestigious. Even Zhang Suo, Guo Yong, and Yang Weizhong will not fight among themselves.
Many generals under their command will also fight on their own because of their previous indifference.
The three parties simply cannot cooperate tacitly.
A certain family spread the news here back to the hinterland of Daming Mansion, and even made it even more miserable. Liu Ze and Jiao Wentong did not care about their relationship with Guo Yong.
None of them will, nor can they, sit idly by.
Just like when Zhang Suo and Wang Yan assisted Zongze, they had already done an unauthorized rescue and won.
How can they resist the urge to move forward again, given the opportunity ahead?
Now that they are here, don't think about going back in one piece. "
After Nianhan finished explaining, he slammed the table and stood up. He looked at the generals in front of him and roared.
"Generals, obey the order!"
At this moment, the Jin's attack officially began.
Guo Yong and Zhao Bushi in Changyuan County also received the news of Liu Ze's arrival half a day later. When they knew that Liu Ze had led troops to assist them, they were extremely confused.
"Why doesn't this guy protect Daming County properly? What are you doing here? What are you doing here!"
As a member of the royal family, Zhao Bushi was lying when he saw his colleagues around him behaving like this today. He would be lying if he said he was not moved, but after being moved, he became deeply angry, angry that Liu Ze would not obey the general's orders.
Guo Yong on the side was not as entangled as Zhao Bushi. He was more concerned about another thing.
"Then even if Liu Ze is worried and we have to come to rescue him, it's not impossible, but how did he learn about the situation here."
After Guo Yong finished speaking, he looked directly at the scout on the side.
"You said he brought seven thousand reinforcements alone?"
"Yes, we saw it clearly, and even took the initiative to greet him. We were sure it was General Liu Ze, and he personally told us that he had brought 7,000 elite troops to rescue us."
Zhao Bushi listened a little confused.
"What's the problem?"
"This is a big problem!" Guo Yong's face was very gloomy at this time, "If the guard of Daming Mansion is Wang Yan at this time, we will just inform him of such a movement.
I guess he could see where our problem lies. He was worried about the safety here, so he brought 7,000 troops to help.
But it was Liu Ze who came at this time, and Jiao Wentong was left behind.
Seven thousand soldiers and horses, or seven thousand elite soldiers, that is nearly half of the remaining soldiers and horses of Daming Mansion.
If he hadn't known that the situation here was very serious, how could he act like this? "
"But I wonder if the situation here isn't serious enough?"
"Who told them about our current situation?" After speaking, Guo Yong had already asked someone to bring a copy of the order to Daming County. "You and I have made it very clear here that the Jin people are not powerful and do not need rescue.
Since I didn’t say anything..."
"That's what the Jin people said!" A voice suddenly came in from the side. It was General Zhang Qiong who had just recovered from his serious injury. "The last general Zhang Qiong paid homage to Guo Zhizhou."
"The general is feeling unwell. Let's go and rest first..."
"No need!" Zhang Qiong, who was usually taciturn, shook his head and interrupted Guo Yong for the first time, "In this situation, no matter what the purpose of the Jin people is, they are just to destroy our Daming Palace.
Maybe they also want to take advantage of the situation and destroy the Central Plains.
If we continue to wait for the soldiers and horses from Shandong Road to return for reinforcements, it may be too late, and General Liu Ze cannot just charge in.
Although the last general is not a famous general, he also knows that the current situation is because after Zong Shuai died of illness, the various armies could not be integrated at all, so this situation occurred.
The general is willing to lead the dead soldiers to defend Changyuan County. The people in the city have been moved away long ago, so there is no need to worry about the people being massacred by the Najin people. This is a great good thing. "
After Zhang Qiong finished speaking, he bowed directly to Guo Yong and Zhao Bushi. This salute represented his determination.
"Zong Shuai is newly mourned. If we cannot maintain stability internally, we will lose not only Changyuan County, but even Daming Mansion."
This sentence represents all Zhang Qiong's concerns.
On the same day, Zhang Qiong led eight hundred dead soldiers to continue to garrison Changyuan County, while Guo Yong and Zhao Bushi took this opportunity to leave Changyuan County directly from the other gate, which had been attacked by the Jin army for more than a month, and went to Yona to help. Liu Ze joined.
They want to build one or more lines of defense again behind Changyuan County to delay the Jin people.
On top of the city wall, Zhang Qiong looked at the Jin soldiers who were still attacking crazily below. There was no joy or sadness on his face, and he couldn't even find the slightest change on his face.
"Everyone!" Zhang Qiong slowly drew out the long knife from his waist and shouted, attracting everyone's attention, "A certain Zhang Qiong, back then you all followed a certain family to rescue the Daming Mansion.
Now times have changed, but we are still persisting here, still persisting in Damingfu.
Changyuan County can no longer defend it. There is no food, no baggage, and there are not even many rolling stones and trees left for defense.
Today, a certain family will take you to fight the final battle. I hope that when you go to the Yama Hall in the future, you can tell the Yama judge that Zhang Qiong of a certain family is a Han general!
If you want to hate, then hate me. When you go under Jiuyou in the future, a certain family will be at your disposal! "
After Zhang Qiong finished speaking, he yelled directly at the climbing Jin soldiers.
"kill!"
This roar directly ignited the last passion of the Song army on the city wall, and roars were vented from the city wall.
Amidst the shouts of killing, a Jin soldier rushed onto the city wall. At this time, all the defenders on the city wall also released the remaining rolling stones and wood under Zhang Qiong's order.
All the remaining crossbows and arrows were fired at the enemy, and finally the crossbows were burned and destroyed, and all the crossbow throwing carts and other city defense equipment were ignited.
Finally, all the kerosene was poured on the city wall. After waiting for all the Jin army to rush in, Zhang Qiong threw a torch to the ground, and suddenly fire started rising on the city wall.
Screams came one after another, and in the flames, Zhang Qiong was completely ignited, and the blood and flames all over her body merged together, as if they had turned into a unique scene.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....."
In the fierce fire, Zhang Qiong let out a tragic laugh, and then...
"Xue Guang, you bastard, walk slower!"
