However, he said that Xin Xingzong's southern expedition was originally intended to deal with some rebellious people. Once the army arrived, it would inevitably plow up the courtyard and sweep away the houses, so that he could take the opportunity to make contributions.
Unexpectedly, there was a bad fate. In a fierce battle at Linping Mountain, four of the five tigers of the Xin family were defeated. Xin Xingzong himself was stabbed in the shoulder by Tang Bin with a spear. If not for the thick armor, he would have been disabled even if he had not died.
Afterwards, when they were attacking the city, they bumped into a demon from the left. He hit him with a hammer, almost breaking his spine, and he captured him in one fell swoop.
At this point, Xin Xingzong was as heartbroken as death, and his ambitions were all gone.
However, fate played a trick on him, and just when he was in a desperate situation, he actually started to change his fortune. With his sharp tongue, he persuaded the evil man to surrender to the Song Dynasty, and he was willing to act as an insider and let him out of the city.
Although he was covered in bruises from the fall, he escaped with his life and ran back to the camp. He conveniently concealed the merits of the demon and claimed that the strategy he proposed was his own, which was greatly appreciated by Tong Guan.
The next day Tong Guan attacked at night. Because Xin Xingzong was injured many times, he was not sent to fight. He was only asked to guard the base camp. Xin Xingzong was happy to have some time to relax, but he was afraid that Yang Weizhong would make a great contribution and jumped over him. "It's a pity", the three thousand most elite cavalry of Xihe soldiers were detained in the camp.
Just as the saying goes, heaven and earth are all working together, but his selfish move turned out to be wrong - the demon suddenly sent a paper swallow from within, telling the young leader of the Mingjiao that Fang Tianzhi, the eldest prince of the Yongle Dynasty, had escaped privately, and he was offered a way to track him down. .
Xin Xingzong couldn't help but feel ecstatic - he had contributed to the capture of Xiuzhou, and if he had captured Hangzhou, his contribution to the strategy would also be indispensable. Now, if he captured Fang Tianding again, his contribution would be so great that Tong Guan would hardly think twice about it.
Immediately enduring his injuries, he mobilized 3,000 cavalrymen to leave the camp and went up the river to pursue Fang Tianding.
On this road, the Jingyuan soldiers were killed by Fang Jie and reorganized to attack Fengshan Gate. Fang Jie followed Lao Cao to meet Fang Qifu, but no one happened to be there. Xin Xingzong jumped over on horseback, almost chasing Fang Tianding to Fuyang County. .
After hearing the report from the detective horse, Fang Tianding entered the county town. Xin Xingzong did not dare to attack rashly. After thinking about it, he decided to lead his troops to bypass Fuyang and find a dangerous place to ambush.
This idea was not a bad idea at first, but he was not familiar with the roads and had to go through forests and wading rivers. After stumbling and stumbling, he finally got around. Without waiting for an ambush at a dangerous pass, he saw hundreds of people riding out of the city and hurried south.
Xin Xingzong was carrying the soul-seeking swallow given to him by Fan Rui, so he naturally recognized that Fang Tianding was in this team. He never expected that Fang Tianding would be so decisive and turn like the wind, not losing to any famous general of the Song Dynasty, so he had to grit his teeth and pursue again. .
Fortunately, the cavalry under his command were all good horses from the northwest, which were much better than Fang Tianding's patchwork of horses. Although Fang Tianding wished he could turn into a gust of wind and fly to his father's knees, the horses were not strong enough and were always kept far away by the Western Army. behind.
Since Xin Xingzong's southern expedition, he had suffered losses several times, so he acted extra cautiously at this time. He knew that he was alone in going deep, but he did not dare to take action easily, for fear that if he could not catch them all, he would escape and be surrounded by a large army.
Therefore, he only followed him from a distance, hoping to wait for Fang Tianding to camp, and besieged him on all sides, not letting him escape alone.
Unexpectedly, he underestimated Fang Tianding's marching ability——
At night, hundreds of his people slept on the ground in the wilderness. The horses were beside them. Apparently there was some trouble, so they would mount their horses and run wildly, which made Xin Xingzong really dare not take action.
After following for two or three days, Fang Tianding was about to leave Tonglu County. Fang Tianding probably felt that he had reached a safe place, or he was really exhausted, so he left the road, found a village, drove all the villagers out of the village, and killed them. The pigs slaughtered their dogs to feed themselves, and occupied their houses and beds to sleep soundly.
The villagers who had been driven out were weeping outside the village. Xin Xingzong asked people to come up and show their identities as officers and soldiers. After being lured to the forest where they were hiding, they killed them all, stripped off their clothes, and made the elite and elites pretend to be villagers. In a crying manner, he secretly attacked Fang Tianding's sentry outside the village.
In fact, during his march, he killed and buried all the passers-by he met along the way, including farmers, farmers, and merchants, so as to eliminate any trace of them.
Not long after, all the sentries were killed. At this time, the sky gradually became clear. Xin Xingzong marched in with his troops, surrounded the village on all sides, and marched in with a roar. Fang Tianding and others were caught off guard. Except for Fang Tianding and Li Tianyou, who were captured alive, the remaining hundreds of people did not. If one escapes, they will all be killed.
Now that Fang Tianding has gained it, Xin Xingzong has to think about his retreat——
He knew that if he returned the same way, he would probably run into the retreating army from Hangzhou, so he did not dare to take the risk, so he tortured Fang Tianding and found out that there were hundreds of defenders at the dangerous pass of Wulong Ridge and that there was a water village at the foot of the mountain.
Xin Xingzong stripped off the armor of the Confederate soldiers who died in the battle, and wanted Fang Tianding to lead the way to sneak attack on the Wulongling Pass. Then he used his cavalry to surprise the water stronghold and seize the warship. Go straight down the river and return to Hangzhou to report your merits to Tong Guan.
However, when they were more than 40 miles away from Wulong Ridge, they suddenly encountered twenty or thirty riders coming towards them. Both parties were in a hurry, and when they met, they were both stunned. Xin Xingzong took a closer look and saw that they were all female soldiers. They were all wearing fish-scale armor. He knew that they must have some background. He guessed that Fang Baihua, the saint of the Ming Cult, might be among them. He was greedy in his heart and immediately ordered Fang Tianding to come forward to lure them over. .
When he captured Fang Tianding alive yesterday, the opponent's performance was extremely unbearable. He was carrying a nine-pound Fang Tianhua halberd, which was thicker than chopsticks. He was trembling with fear and did not dare to move at all. Later, he started to torture him and even beat him twice. Ershazi knew everything, so Hun didn't take him seriously and threatened him smoothly: "Go and call them over, or I'll beat you to death."
Fang Tianding stepped forward tremblingly, and recognized at a glance that these female soldiers were all under his own sister's command. The one in the middle, wearing fine azure armor and riding a yellow horse, was none other than his biological sister "Green Phoenix" Fang Jinzhi!
Fang Jinzhi recognized his brothers almost at the same time. He immediately smiled and shouted: "Tianding! How did you come here? There is a hero in Liangshan who calls himself Song Jiang. Is he in the guard team?" After that, he rode forward.
Fang Tianding saw that his sister was about to throw herself into the trap. In an instant, her violently trembling body suddenly stopped trembling, and an abnormal redness suddenly appeared on her pale and blue face. She didn't know where she was born with courage, and she exhausted all her courage. He shouted with all his strength: "Sister, run, they are officers and soldiers!"
In the cavalry formation, Li Tianyou, who was tied up and covered with bruises, his dead eyes suddenly shone with light, and he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha, I know that the eldest prince is the son of the Holy Duke! How can a tiger father have a son of a dog!"
He immediately flew up with his feet, kicked over two officers and soldiers, jumped on his horse, and shouted: "Princess Jinzhi, run! Go and move Zhejiang Silong to save the eldest prince!"
Fang Jinzhi suddenly burst into tears. He turned back on his horse and screamed: "General Song, if you dare to hurt my brother, I will kill you with my own hands! I am not scaring you. I am the governor of Xuzhou, Zhu Xun." Fang Jinzhi cut it with his own hands, oh..."
The last ouch came when he saw the Western Army's cavalry coming out in unison, like a flood, and they were so frightened that they cried out in exclamation.
She led a group of women's soldiers and fled. Xin Xingzong was so angry that he almost exploded. He waved his troops and chased after her.
These Western armies spanned the northwest, and their riding skills were high and their horses were strong. Fang Jinzhi was riding Lao Cao's Feidian, which was a rare good horse. However, there were originally few horses in the south, and the horses in Fang La's army were always poor. It's in short supply. How can there be any spare capacity to supply these women's troops who are not fighting? Therefore, except for Jin Zhi, the horses the other women rode were either draft horses or old horses, and there were even big donkeys mixed in to make up the numbers. How could they outrun these Western troops?
What's more, these women are not very good at riding. They usually follow Fang Jinzhi to show off, but they still have some heroine momentum. Today, when they saw the real chapter, they felt as if their hearts were crushed by the iron hoofs, and they were so frightened. They screamed wildly, and within three to five miles, they were already being chased by the Western Army.
Fang Jinzhi was determined to run away, but he thought to himself: If I lead the army and abandon the troops and run away, won't I lose the face of my father and Wu Zhi?
She just had the courage to encourage these little sisters with a cry. She was also a little quick-witted, and suddenly thought: Their horses are used to galloping in the north. Although our horses are not good, they often walk on mountain roads and forest roads. If it were off the road, there might be some chance of survival.
He immediately shouted: "Everyone, follow me into the forest. Once you enter the forest, they will not be able to catch up."
The girls were already panicking and subconsciously followed her off the road and ran into the dense forest and wild paths.
Xin Xingzong saw this in his eyes and secretly screamed that something was wrong, but he did not dare to let them escape. He had to wave his army and chase after them, shouting: "Shoot arrows, shoot arrows, shoot all these stinky bitches to death." ”
This is exactly what it is: The humble brother finally uses up his talents, and the fool in the sand shows his heroic spirit. At the end of today, I poured out my wine for my brother.
