Li Ying bit the knife with his mouth this time, which was not a skill he usually practiced, it was purely a matter of adaptability.

Although the knife was bitten, it still hurt the teeth, and I felt that all the teeth in my mouth were loose.

Yang Cunzhong didn't expect him to react so quickly, but he also reacted quickly. He missed the target and the ax fell straight down. Li Ying couldn't spit out the knife in time and hurriedly used his gun to block it. The two of you came and I fought together. at.

However, the two of them knew what they were doing: Yang Cun was middle-aged and weak, and although his ax skills were excellent, he had not yet reached the level of perfection. If one versus one, it would be at least twenty or thirty, and at most forty or fifty. Li Ying is bound to win a great victory.

It's a pity that the Jin-Song coalition ambushed first at this time. How could Li Ying be given such a chance?

Pharmacist Guo roared angrily, patted his horse and arrived early, shouted for a shot, and stabbed Li Ying viciously.

This guy is truly battle-hardened and has strong martial arts skills. When the Ghost Crying Gun was in his hands, Shi Wengong almost fell into his hands, which shows how powerful he is. Now, although there is no weapon as dangerous as the Ghost Crying Gun, his moves, strength, and experience are all incomparable. Not the best choice.

Based on Li Ying's martial arts skills, he may not be as weak as Guo Yaoshi. Firstly, he was ambushed first, secondly, his flying knife skills were defeated, and thirdly, Yang Cunzhong was also a powerful enemy. For these three reasons, the two of them immediately became very dangerous. .

Over there, Zhang Jue was fighting one against two, and suddenly a Zhen Wuchen died. Dong XiuChou was shocked when he saw this. Zhang felt unreasonable and exploded with all his strength. He shot several times in a row, fiercely, forcing Dong Xiuo to retreat and rein in his horse. Just as he was about to walk, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan shouted in unison: "Where are the thieves going!"

They both grabbed a gun and two knives, and tightly wrapped around Zhang Jue. Dong Joker also screamed strangely, and chased after him to fight.

Just at this moment, the resentful army suddenly cheered loudly. Zhang Jue felt a chill in his heart. He turned around subconsciously, only to see flames rising into the sky in the direction of Yuguan.

It turned out that the Jin people were determined to win this plan. They had already ordered Xi Wang Xia Mo to lead 20,000 Xi soldiers from his tribe to join the resentful army Zhang Ling Hui. Hearing two conch horns, he immediately sent his troops to attack the city.

Although Zhang Jue's Pingying army was well trained, Yingzhou fell first, and the general was lying behind. More than 70% of the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city were gone. At this moment, the sound of killing behind the pass was heard. The resentful and taunting soldiers attacked fiercely without risking their lives——

The remaining 5,000 defenders were also born from father to mother and had mortal bodies. How could they not be panic-stricken?

The Jin soldiers were also well prepared. Arrows were fired from behind, and countless ladders were set up on top of the city in front.

This was exactly what happened. In a short time, the Xi army and the resentful army came up to the city wall with ferocious faces. The defenders screamed and tried their best to drive off the enemy troops.

In the middle of the fighting, Zhang Linghui, the leader of the resentful army, carried an iron awl weighing tens of kilograms in one hand and climbed up the stairs to the city. The man took off half of his armor, revealing a strong body full of scars, and swung the iron awl at random, killing two people in a row. More than ten defenders.

He occupied an area of ​​several feet, and the troops and horses swarmed behind him. When the defenders saw that he was ferocious and ferocious, like a war ghost, no one dared to approach him. They all shouted in horror: "We can't hold on any longer, let's withdraw and join forces." Commander."

Du Xing was fighting at the other end. When he heard this, his ugly face twisted into a ball with anger, and he yelled: "A bunch of trash, we are ordered to guard the gate, everyone is in prison, please let grandpa go!"

This "Ghostface", holding a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, had already been covered in blood from the killing. At this moment, his way was blocked by the timid defenders. He was so angry that he raised his shield, overturned a group of defenders, and rushed towards him. Zhang Linghui shouted in his mouth: "You cowardless people will run for their own lives. If you have a decent man, come with me to kill the thief!"

Zhang Linghui was also covered in blood from the killing. When he saw Du Xing shouting and rushing towards him, he said ferociously: "You are a good man! Grandpa will reward you!"

As he spoke, he swung the cone with all his strength, and Du Xing raised his shield to meet him. However, with a bang, the shield was smashed into pieces, and a knife from the bottom stabbed out, piercing Zhang Linghui's thigh!

You must know that Du Xing's ability is ordinary, but Zhang Linghui is a famous general in the resentment army. Originally, when the iron cone came down, Du Xing was not as powerful as the opponent, and he would be knocked back and fell out.

It was just that Du Xing had just seen that he was killing people like mowing grass and his weapons were heavy. He knew in his heart that he was no match, so he had the intention of fighting for his life and used all his strength to block the opponent's iron awl. He held on with his foot pole and refused to retreat. , forcibly swallowing the opponent's strength, only to shatter the shield and break the arm, just for a chance to use the sword.

Severe pain instantly spread throughout his body, but Du Xing didn't even groan, and stabbed the knife out with his right hand.

This sword was not cruel, but Zhang Linghui was very skilled in martial arts. Although he couldn't avoid it, he raised his leg to block the sword.

Du Xing's sword was originally intended to pierce the enemy general's abdominal cavity, and everyone exchanged lives for their lives, but now it only injured the enemy's thigh. His eyes suddenly turned red, and he didn't care, so he pulled out the sword to kill again. Zhang Linghui was shocked and angry. Yu, where can I give him a chance? The iron awl was raised and smashed Du Xing's head into pieces.

"Ghostface" Du Xing wandered around the world in his early years. Later, he met Li Ying and appreciated him, so he placed all his loyalty on Li Ying. The two were masters, servants, and brothers, and they never left each other. Now they also died in battle for Li Ying.

There is a poem that proves:

The ghostly face makes everyone afraid, but the sincere heart is the same as the world.

A man values ​​righteousness over appearance, and a promise is worth ten thousand gold!

Zhang Linghui killed Du Xing and the defenders were defeated. At this time, Xi Wang Xiamo also went up to the city. Looking at Zhang Linghui pulling out the knife from his thigh, he was surprised and said: "Ah, is General Zhang injured?"

Zhang Linghui bared his teeth and said, "I don't want to meet a tough guy!" He turned to his confidant and said, "After the battle, bury this guy alive. A hero like this is rare, so don't let his bones be exposed." The confidant quickly agreed.

After Yuguan was lost, Xi soldiers and resentful soldiers poured in in large numbers. Zhang Jue and Li Ying became more and more difficult to support. All their soldiers and horses were defeated, and only the two of them fought fiercely and risked their lives.

Tong Guan was watching with great interest when He Guan, the prince of the bodyguard and army nearby, suddenly came to him and whispered: "Commander, on this mission, not only did the alliance succeed, the commander himself made plans to use this gold. Wouldn't it please the Holy Heart to take down a pass that is difficult for soldiers to conquer easily and go back and tell the Holy One?"

As soon as Tong Guanjing said this, he suddenly got excited, clapped his legs and shouted: "Wonderful! Since my defeat in Hebei, how many villains have insulted me with their words? Huh, when it comes to the war in Hebei, it's just Fang La. , the soldiers and horses are exhausted from running around and have no time to rest, and the Hebei Forbidden Army is completely unavailable. In such a situation, even if Di Qing comes back to life, he will have no choice but to do nothing. This great victory at Yuguan can actually cleanse my hands. "

He Guan sighed, shook his head and said: The only pity is that most of the soldiers here are Jin soldiers, so they can't go to the imperial palace to witness it. "

Hearing this, Tong Guan's face darkened, he thought for a moment, and suddenly pointed to the battlefield: "Aren't these two thieves generals ready-made evidence? General He, take action quickly and capture these two alive. Don't let Pharmacist Guo hurt them. I'd rather take him to the imperial court and present him as a prisoner, so that the officials will know what I'm capable of."

He Guan smiled lightly, cupped his fists and said, "General, I will obey your order!"

He slapped his horse, joined the battle group, and shouted: "By the command of General Tong, these two thieves will be captured and sacrificed in Jinling!" After saying this, he took off the big bow from behind, nocked an arrow and fired two arrows in a row. , one after another penetrated Zhang Jue and Li Ying's crotch, and the two were caught off guard and fell over immediately.

He Guan moved quickly. The arrow was fired here. He had already hung up his bow and raised his spear. He spurred his horse to take a shot, and blocked Yaoshi Guo from stabbing him. "General Guo, please be merciful, and please give my commander some face."

Pharmacist Guo stared and panted. He hated Li Ying for killing Zhen Wuchen and wanted to take revenge. However, seeing He Guan's resolute expression and showing no sign of concession, he struggled for a moment and finally let out a long breath: "That's it! You guys are taking him. Go and sacrifice the prisoner, don't let him die happily."

He Guan then smiled: "Don't worry, General Guo. How can we let such a traitor die easily?"

After saying this, he dismounted and lifted Li Ying up with his own hands. He was tied up and taken aside. On Zhang Jue's side, the Song army also tied him up.

At dawn, Tong Guanlai said goodbye to Yaoshi Guo and said with a smile: "Your two countries have become allies. The eradication of the warrior bandits is not just a matter of your country. When someone returns, he will report to the Holy Emperor and send a million troops. The two countries will work together from the north and the south to fight against the enemy." Kill the military thieves."

After that, he took his men to board the ship and returned to Jiangnan.

Pharmacist Guo smiled and watched him go away, his face darkened: "Send me the general's order to capture the two states of Pingying immediately - the entire army, no need to seal the sword."

After hearing this, the resentful army was overjoyed. Within a few days, the two prefectures of Pingying were slaughtered into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Guo Yaoshi pointed his horse whip to the west and killed Jingzhou and Luanzhou into pieces.

"Langli Baitiao" Zhang Shun and "Tie Jingzi" Lehe were stationed in Jizhou. When they heard that the Pingying camp was defeated, the Jin soldiers invaded in large numbers. I picked up a fast horse and went to Huangyaguan and Youzhou to report the news.

Unexpectedly, the messenger had only been dispatched for half a day, but Li Jun had already arrived with his defeated troops. However, after Xi Wang Xia Mo captured Yu Pass, he attacked Huangya Pass directly from the Great Wall. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Jun decisively abandoned the pass with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Come back to Jizhou.

Zhang Shun was surprised when he heard this and said: "What should I do? The Great Wall is continuous. If I lose the pass here, my brother will fight along the wall. How can Wusheng Pass be held? If Wusheng Pass is lost, the mountains in front and behind will be cut." , he could march along the Great Wall and surround the nine states behind the mountains...how will we explain to Brother Wu?"

Wusheng Pass was renamed by Hu Sanniang, which is Juyong Pass.

Li Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The loss of Yuguan was strange. I was not well prepared here. It was just one point that destroyed the entire line! Alas, when I retreated, I ordered Jie Zhen to rush to inform the brothers at Wushengguan where he was. It is the hub of the Great Wall. If we can save it, there is still something we can do. But..."

There was deep worry in Li Jun's eyes: "The Liao Kingdom was destroyed unjustly. Those golden soldiers are really good at fighting! I have spent the past few months trying to keep Huangya Pass intact, and Wu Sheng Pass, Bao Xu and several others, Although he is brave, he does not have the talent of a general. Even if he is informed in advance, he may not be able to defend himself."

Zhang Shun lowered his head and thought for a while: "I heard that before Brother Wu left, he sent a young general named Yue Fei to help guard the gate."

Li Jun was a little disdainful: "It is said that he is the junior brother of Coach Lin! If Coach Lin is here, it will be no problem, but his junior brother is just a young man, and his hair has not even grown, so how can he be of great use? Send someone to Youzhou , let Shan Shiqi, Tang Bin and others rush to help, and let Meng Kang quickly go to Qingzhou to ask for help. You and I will hold on to Jizhou. As long as the reinforcements arrive in time, we can survive this disaster."

Zhang Shun felt relieved after hearing his thoughtful arrangements. He nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry. I see you are very tired. Go and have a rest. I will send someone to Youzhou immediately."

Li Jun shook his head and said, "It's not time to rest. Jin Bing will arrive in a day or two. I'll go to the city to take a look."

Zhang Shun saw that he looked tired and his figure was thinner than a few months ago. He felt sorry for himself, but he didn't want to show it. He stood up and forced a smile and said: "In that case, I will accompany my brother."

There are different teachings: Fortunately, there are martyrs buried in Yuguan, but in panic, the Dragon King is lost in Huangya. The smoke of war is burning all over Jizhou, let's see the heroes test their glory!
