When Song Ding heard that the army of Yufu State had arrived at the city, he was so frightened that he shouted: "Aren't they stationed outside the city? Why did they arrive at the city?"
The soldier reported: "The army has not arrived yet, only the archers."
Song Ding asked: "How many people?"
The soldier reported: "No more than a thousand."
Song Ding breathed a long sigh of relief and cursed: "A mere thousand people dare to attack my city!"
Putting on his armor, Song Ding went up to the city and saw the cavalry archers firing arrows into the city.
The soldier picked up an arrow and presented it to Song Ding, saying, "Commander, these people are trying to persuade him to surrender."
Song Ding took it apart and looked at it. They were all things that persuaded him to surrender. They said that Li Zhaoliang was the one responsible for the rebellion.
"You bastard, shoot an arrow for me!"
Song Ding was furious. Li Chengdao said that he would only kill the culprit, and he was the culprit.
The Forbidden Army fired random arrows at the city. The cavalry archers finished shooting the arrows and immediately led their troops to retreat.
When all the officials in the city heard that the imperial army had arrived outside the city, they were all terrified and afraid of being questioned by Li Chengdao.
Li Chengdao was both kind and powerful, and all the officials in the court were afraid of him.
Some people began to send people out of the city to contact Zhong Gui and prepare for internal response.
For a time, people in Jinling City were in a state of shock.
The cavalry archers returned to the barracks to resume their duties. Zhong Gui ordered the entire army to rest and regroup, and at the same time strengthen patrols and vigilance to guard against sneak attacks.
...
Night falls.
Song Ding assembled the Imperial Army at Ximen, and Liu Lan's Marquis Wu was also gathering.
Eight thousand forbidden troops, plus eight thousand Wuhou, totaling sixteen thousand.
Liu Lan said: "Commander Song, let's go."
The west city gate opened and the army quietly left the city.

Qijia Wine Shop.
Yu Fuguo put on black night clothes, with a sharp blade and a crossbow on his waist.
Lu Ji asked, "Do you want me to go with my father-in-law?"
Yu Fuguo smiled and said: "Our family can't do this well, how can we follow King Wu."
Lu Ji smiled and said nothing more. Yu Fuguo went out alone.
...
The Chinese army's large tent in the west of the city was heavily guarded. Zhong Gui repeatedly read the strategies given by Li Chengdao in the tent.
He had never led troops before, and it was too important to quell the chaos this time, so Zhong Gui was very nervous.
"We will attack the city early tomorrow morning. The north gate has been through a battle and is the most vulnerable."
Li Chengdao asked Zhong Gui to attack from the north because the north had been destroyed once.
That time, Long Chen and Fuyuan Tower fought, and the city wall suffered heavy damage.
The army is stationed in the west, but attacks from the north, so that it can catch them by surprise and attack them unprepared.
The summer night in Jinling was very hot, especially inside the tent. Zhong Gui picked up a fan and fanned himself, and there was a slight noise outside.
Zhong Gui didn't pay much attention and continued to read Li Chengdao's secret decree.
The door of the tent suddenly opened, and a man wearing white clothes with orchids embroidered on his chest walked in, wearing a ghost mask on his face.
"you..."
Zhong Gui was shocked. Dressed like this, he must be an assassin.
The person who came was none other than Ji Zhang.
The guards around the Chinese army's tent had been killed, and Ji Zhang swaggered into the tent.
Zhong Gui immediately drew his sword and attacked Ji Zhang. Ji Zhang's eyes moved slightly and his body flashed. A three-foot-long sickle appeared in his hand. The sword stabbed at him. The sickle rotated and hooked the sword. Ji Zhang raised it. He kicked Zhong Gui in the abdomen.
Zhong Gui was surprised. He was now at the middle stage of the Martial Emperor. He attacked with all his strength, but Ji Zhang had no pressure and easily defeated his own moves.
Kicked over, Zhong Gui scolded, and an invisible barrier formed around his body, blocking Ji Zhang's kick.
"oh?"
Ji Zhang was slightly surprised. This was obviously the secret technique of the Nanliang royal family, the Xuanwu Jue.
However, in the face of absolute strength, any move is a miraculous skill.
Zhong Gui was knocked back by a kick. Ji Zhang caught up with him and slashed down with his sickle. Zhong Gui fought back desperately.
boom!
There was an explosion, and the sword in Zhong Gui's hand was knocked away, and the tent was torn apart. Ji Zhang caught up and attacked several times. Zhong Gui's defense was shattered, and he was so frightened that he shouted: "There are assassins, there are assassins!"
Zhong Gui shouted, but no one came to protect him. The surrounding tents began to catch fire, and the army was in a commotion.
Ji Zhang ignored Zhong Gui, stepped forward and struck with all his strength, and the sickle cut off Zhong Gui's head. www.八一zw.????m
To the east, the armies of Liu Lan and Song Ding had already arrived. Ji Zhang rushed west, killing people and setting fires along the way, and the military camp was in chaos.
After killing the barracks, more than a dozen people stood in front of Ji Zhang.
Ji Zhang looked at the blazing battlefield and said coldly: "Withdraw!"
Ji Zhang and his party disappeared into the night.
At this time, the melee was fierce.
Liu Lan and Song Ding led their troops to lurk in the east. When they saw the fire in the barracks, they were overjoyed and immediately led their troops to attack.
Zhong Gui was killed, other generals were also assassinated, the soldiers had no one to lead, the barracks was in chaos, and the melee quickly turned into a massacre.
Liu Lan was ecstatic and laughed: "Kill me! The emperor will reward you greatly!"
Song Ding even carried a spear and led people to fight left and right, as if he was in a deserted land.
The two of them started fighting, and Liu Lan ran further and further away.
Ahead, a horse rushed out with flames ablaze. When Liu Lan saw someone rushing over, he said angrily: "Seeking death!"
Liu Lan's cultivation level is not high, but because all the masters have been assassinated, Liu Lan has not encountered an opponent since the war began, and he feels a bit invincible in the world.
When the war horse came back, Liu Lan raised his sword and struck, but the attacker easily dodged, and a sharp sword pierced Liu Lan's heart.
Once the attack was successful, the man didn't stop at all, he rode his horse and disappeared in the light of the fire.
Liu Lan felt a sharp pain in his heart and fell off his horse. He didn't understand why there were still masters?
The battlefield was so chaotic that no one discovered that Liu Lan was dead, and no one even recognized Liu Lan's identity.
When Liu Lan was killed, Song Dingzheng led several people to kill him wantonly. He felt the same as Liu Lan, feeling that he was invincible.
The enemy troops were running in confusion, and Song Ding chased them on horseback, slashing at anyone he saw with a long sword in his hand.
Suddenly, a cold arrow struck from the darkness and hit Song Ding right in the face.
Song Ding let out a scream and hit the ground on the spot. His followers were shocked and immediately dismounted to rescue him. Song Ding was already dead.
"Commander, commander!"
The imperial army didn't know why Song Ding was killed, but he was fine just now.
"what to do?"
The imperial army wanted to take Song Ding back for treatment, but a cold arrow pierced his face and Song Ding was out of breath.
The melee continues, and no one can retreat at this time.
When daybreak came, the tents and provisions were still smoking, the ground was littered with corpses, and the imperial army was completely defeated.
The garrison and the imperial army entered the city victoriously, and Li Zhaoliang personally led hundreds of officials out of the city to greet them.
This battle surprised everyone.
Li Chengdao's 100,000-strong army was defeated by a night attack, and Li Zhaoliang, who had just ascended the throne, actually won the war.
"Where are Eunuch Liu and Commander Song?"
Li Zhaoliang didn't see Liu Lan and Song Ding, so he had a bad feeling.
A general came forward and said: "Back to the emperor, Eunuch Liu and Commander Song were killed in battle."
Li Zhaoliang was shocked and asked: "How could this happen?"
Liao Houqi, who was next to him, was just jealous of Liu Lan's great achievements. When he heard that Liu Lan died in battle, his face changed with fear.
It is too dangerous to lead the troops in battle. You may die at any time. Yesterday you were alive and kicking, today you are standing straight.
