Xu Yang, who was hiding behind the hillside, was cautious and could not feel the flow of time. On the battlefield in front, the Jin army attacked again and again, as if there was no end. Shao Ling defended steadily, and Qianjia attacked the Jin army slightly every time.

Forced to retreat, he immediately returned to the military formation.

The sun slowly sets in the west, and the battlefield continues to be stalemate. I don't know when it will end.

Xu Yang knew that this was normal. As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, one side immediately collapsed. That was a situation where there was a huge difference in combat power between the two sides. Most of the time, it was like this. One side kept attacking to find the other side's weaknesses, while the other side steadily defended it.

They fight until dark and withdraw their troops, and fight again tomorrow. Only when one party cannot hold on any longer and the formation is scattered, will the other party seize the opportunity to defeat them.

The role of brave generals is shown at the critical moment when the outcome is about to be decided. Some have the ability to turn the tide, and some can make the final decision.

The days are extremely short in winter, and the sun sets in the blink of an eye.

Xu Yang stretched out his almost stiff arms and stood up. He looked at the battlefield after the troops were withdrawn. It was quiet. The war drums under the Shaanzhou City in the distance were still rumbling without stopping. In the twilight, the Jin army was still rushing towards the city like a tide.

After taking a breath, Xu Yang said: "As the sun sets, let's go to Shaanzhou. May God bless you and everything will be safe."

After saying that, he led his five hundred soldiers along the hillside and quietly headed for Shaanzhou City. When they arrived outside the city, it was completely dark, and a bright moon hung in the sky. Under the moonlight, countless golden soldiers were beating drums.

They surged toward the city. Arrows flew everywhere above the city, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

The Jin army surrounded the city. If you want to enter, you must pass through the Jin army formation. Five hundred people rushed into the city, how many people would be left? Xu Yang was not sure. However, as long as someone brought food into the city,

, can give confidence to the people defending the city.

Quietly went around to the east of the city and organized the army. Xu Yang said: "Shaanzhou City has been besieged for more than a month and a half, and it is extremely difficult now. You have all seen that the Jinlu attacked the city day and night. How can we defend it like this?

?Furthermore, the city has been without food and grass for many days. We cannot enter the city, and the defenders cannot be replenished, so it is difficult to hold on. In today's battle, it does not matter how many enemies are killed, there is only one purpose, to get as many people into the city as possible!"

Everyone promised.

Xu Yang looked at everyone and said: "You will follow me for a while and move forward slowly. As soon as the Jin man spots you, rush forward quickly. Remember to move fast and don't mess up the formation!

When we get to the city, the people in the city will meet us!"

After saying that, he took out his sword, put it gently on the back of his waist, and led everyone towards the city.

Xu Yang led the people very carefully, and under the cover of night, they were not discovered by the Jin. It was not until he was two hundred steps away from the city that he was discovered by the Jin who was repairing the ladder. A general stepped forward and asked Xu in a loud voice

Who is Yang and where did he come from?

Xu Yang didn't answer, he whipped out his saber, cut down the Jin general in front with one blow, and led the whole army towards the city.

Looking more than a hundred steps away from the city wall, a general suddenly rushed out from the shadows. He said sternly: "Reinforcements arrived in the west of the city yesterday, and my father concluded that someone must enter the city again today! I have been waiting here for a day, and you finally

Here we come! Let’s see who is faster, your legs or my sword!”

After saying that, he led a group of Jin troops and went straight towards Xu Yang and others to kill them.

Xu Yang was taken aback. He had no choice but to raise his steel knife and face the attacker. The swords went back and forth, fighting together.

After fighting for a few rounds, Xu Yang knew something was wrong. The enemy general was on horseback and on foot. The difference between the two sides was too big. He said loudly: "Chi Yuping, if I die in battle, you will be the leader! Leave a hundred soldiers to fight with me."

I'll fight the golden thief together, and you take the others into the city!"

The golden general said: "You think so well! None of you can enter the city today!"

After saying that, he assigned his men to surround the entire Song army.

At this moment, shouts of killing suddenly came from the rear. A group of Song troops came out of the darkness like a strong wind.

This Song army, about two to three thousand strong, suddenly appeared. Both the Jin army and Xu Yang were taken aback. There was a general in front, riding a horse and holding a long spear in his hand. He was immediately killed.

Xu Yang saw the opportunity and said sternly: "Chi Yuping, take the rest of the people into the city!"

Chi Yuping sang a promise loudly. He had no time to organize the team, and ordered the 100 people behind to follow Xu Yang, while the others followed him to the city. The surrounding Jin army was scattered by the Song army who suddenly came out, and it was too late.

stop.

With his soldiers and the long sword in his hands, Chi Yuping headed straight for the city gate in front. If a person is crazy, he will no longer hear any movement around him and only knows to move forward with all his strength. Five or six times outside the city gate.

At ten steps, all the Jin troops besieging the city rushed towards Chi Yuping's troops, and both sides fought in a mass in front of the city gate. For a while, no one attacked the city.

I don’t know how much time passed, and Chi Yuping was almost numb. He couldn’t see anything except the enemy in front of him. He suddenly heard the shouts of killing, and the Jin army that besieged him became a mess. Then,

I saw a Song army coming out in front of me.

He raised his head suddenly and found that the city gate had been opened. The Song army guarding the city rushed out from the door and scattered the Jin army in front of the city.

Zhang Chi stepped forward quickly, grabbed Chi Yuping, and asked: "Has the observation already arrived? How many of you are here?"

Chi Yuping looked around numbly. Of the 400 people he led, only more than 200 were left standing, and the rest fell in a pool of blood. Looking back, Xu Yang was no longer among the rebels.

, only I don’t know which Song army fought fiercely with the Jin army there.

"Say it!" Seeing that Chi Yuping didn't speak, Zhang Chi was a little irritable.

Chi Yuping shook his head and said: "The observation has not yet arrived, but Shao Tongzhi's vanguard has arrived. I am under the command of Commander Xu and was ordered to deliver food to the city. Commander Xu, I can't find him there -"

As he spoke, tears flowed down unconsciously.

Zhang Chi raised his eyes and saw that the Song Army and the Jin Army in front were mixed together. Although they had the upper hand, they could not destroy the enemy at once. There were troops forming up in the Jin Army camp in the distance, and they would soon attack. He knew in his heart

, we can’t get entangled here. He ordered his men to unpack all the food from the corpses of the Song army on the ground and bring them into the city. He shouted to the Song army not far away: "I don’t know whose subordinates are fighting over there, can you tell me?

Name?"

A general stabbed the Jin soldiers in front, rode forward, and said loudly: "I am Zhang Qi, the vanguard of Dong Xian, the former military commander under Zhai Kuan, who was ordered to relieve the siege of Shaanzhou! Message to Li Kuan, I'll be waiting for you.

Fight the Jin army outside the city and the siege of Shaanzhou will be lifted!"

Zhang Chi said: "I, Zhang Chi, thank you for Li's observation! The Jin army is about to come, and the general will lead his army back. There is too little food and grass in the city to accommodate too many people! A few days later, when Dengzhou's army arrives, he will fight against the Jin army.

life and death!"

Zhang Qi agreed and commanded his subordinates, while fighting the Jin army, while retreating to the south of the city.

After picking up Chi Yuping and others, Zhang Chi brought the food and returned to the city together. The city gate was closed tightly again.

After entering the city, Chi Yuping's spirit slowly calmed down. However, he felt heavy and did not say a word.

When they arrived at the tower, Li Yanxian asked about Chi Yuping's situation and offered some words of comfort. However, Chi Yuping was depressed and did not speak.

Going into the city to deliver food this time was much more difficult than going up to Zhang Jun. If Zhang Qi hadn’t suddenly come out and Zhang Chi hadn’t responded, they would all have died outside the city. Even with so many helpers, the leader Xu Yang still died in the chaos.
