Da Song: Possessed by Overlord at the beginning

Chapter 8 Soldiers Arrive in Changzhou
While the two were talking, the military horse had already arrived at the city of Changzhou.

Changzhou is located in the Golden Triangle of the Yangtze River, bordering the Yangtze River in the north and Taihu Lake in the south. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through the city. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

Three important towns in Wu, famous capitals in eight towns!
In Changzhou City, the original city guarding officer was named Qian Zhenpeng. This man was born in Dutou, Qingxi County. He assisted Fangla in the uprising, conquered the east and west, attacked the city, and made many military exploits. He was granted the title of Changzhou Zhizhi Envoy by Fang La and was in charge of Changzhou's troops and horses.

Two lieutenants under his command.

One is from Shanghao, Jinling County, and his surname is Jin Mingjie.

The other is Qian Zhenpeng's confidant, Xu Ding from Qingxi County.

Changzhou Taishou Mansion.

Qian Zhenpeng sat at the head, and there were two generals on each side, namely Jin Jie and Xu Ding.

"Master Zhizhishi, the Liangshan army and horses just broke through Runzhou and Dantu County, and the Privy Councilor Lu Shinang and all the twelve Jiangnan gods under his command were killed in battle."

"I just got the report from the horse scouting. The Liangshan vanguard army horse is only [-] miles away from my Changzhou city. I still hope that the Zhizhi envoy will make a decision." Lieutenant General Jin Jie clasped his fist heavily at Qian Zhenpeng, and reported the truth.

Qian Zhenpeng sat at the head, heard Jin Jie's words, smiled disdainfully, and said: "Brother Jin Jie is too careful."

"I thought that the Liangshan people were just a group of grassroots bandits. After accepting the imperial court's recruitment, I thought they were number one in the world. The privy envoys just fell into their tricks, otherwise the city would not be destroyed."

"My city of Changzhou is high and deep, and there are many soldiers and generals, so why be afraid of mere Liangshan bandits!"

As soon as Qian Zhenpeng finished speaking, Xu Ding, who was standing next to him, also echoed: "What Master Zhizhi said is that the grass bandits in Shuibo are not worth mentioning. It would be better if they didn't come. So if they really dare to come, we will arrest them all." Now, give it to the Holy Duke."

"At that time, the position of the Privy Envoy will belong to the Chief Envoy."

"Hahaha…"

"That's right, pass on the order to closely monitor every move of Liangshan's army and horses. In addition, strengthen the defense on the city wall, roll logs and rocks, and prepare enough gold juice and fire oil."

Immediately, Qian Zhenpeng gave an order.

Although Qian Zhenpeng looked down on Liangshan's army and horses, as a general, he was cautious and kept Changzhou's city defenses airtight.

Chao's army's vanguard, one thousand Beiwei sergeants, was led by Zhao Wang Li Yuanba of the Xifu.

All the counties and towns that I have passed have been waiting for the wind to surrender.

Li Yuanba also knew that Xie Xie was nothing more than a small fish and shrimp, and that the real big fish was still in Changzhou City. As long as Changzhou City was captured, the other affiliated counties would be decided without a fight.

Li Yuanba, King of Zhao in the Western Mansion, led the vanguard with a thousand back Wei army and headed straight for Changzhou City.

When they came to the city of Changzhou, they didn't rest and set up a formation outside the city, beating the flags and drums to fight.

Qian Zhenpeng, Xu Ding, and Jin Jie, who came to inquire, rushed to the top of the city wall, leaned on the top of the wall and looked down, only to see that there were only about a thousand Liangshan soldiers and horses.

"Zhi Zhishi, these Liangshan bandits really don't know how to live or die. A mere thousand troops dare to fight in the city. The last general asks for orders to lead an army out of the city and kill every single one of the Liangshan bandits."

Xu Ding saw that there were only one thousand Liangshan soldiers and horses under the city, he was secretly happy, he clasped his fists heavily at Qian Zhenpeng, and said while slapping his chest.

Qian Zhenpeng was about to agree, but Jin Jie next to him stopped Xu Ding with words.

"General Xu's bravery is well known to everyone."

"However, although there are only a thousand soldiers and horses in Liangshan, the formation is orderly and not chaotic at all. All of them are full of murderous aura. They are soldiers of hundreds of battles, and I am afraid they are the elite of Liangshan."

"The general at the head is aggressive. The person who comes is not good. The double hammer in his hand is at least [-] catties. He must be a strong general."

"At this time, Liangshan's army and horses have just broken through Runzhou, and the army is in full swing. At this time, we must not compete with them. The general thought that we should stick to the city gate. When the morale of Liangshan's army and horses is exhausted, it will not be too late to leave the city."

Hearing Jin Jie's words, Xu Ding curled his lips impatiently, and then said disdainfully: "Jin Jie, why do you want to be a thief and destroy your own prestige, he is just a mere bandit in the water, watch me go out of the city and get him!"

Qian Zhenpeng next to him also nodded slightly, with a proud expression on his face, he said: "Jin Jie, you are still too careful, it's just a bandit in Liangshan, so Xu Ding led three thousand troops out of the city, be sure to bring back the head of that black fellow!"

"Yes!"

Xu Ding clasped his fists to accept the order, glanced at Jin Jie provocatively, then quickly walked down the city, fired up three thousand troops and horses, and fought out of the city.

Three thousand soldiers and horses were spread out outside the city, and Xu Ding's big horse with a golden sword stood in front of the formation of the two armies.

"The grass bandits in the water park don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. They violated me in Changzhou. Dismount quickly and be bound, lest grandpa do it himself!"

Hearing Xu Ding shouting in front of the battle, Zhao Wang Li Yuan of the Western Mansion screamed domineeringly, pointed at Xu Ding with a pair of hammers and yelled: "Hey, the thief is uttering wild words, looking for death!"

Li Yuanba put his legs between the horse's belly, and Herod, the moon-dark horse under his crotch, neighed, and rushed out like lightning, and went straight to Xu Ding with a pair of hammers in his hand.

Seeing that the black-faced thief general across from him dared to attack, Xu Ding couldn't help but feel secretly happy. The time had come for him to show off his skills. He would take the head of this thief general, and when he went back, maybe Shenggong would also grant him the title of Zhijie.

Thinking of this, Xu Ding couldn't help but his blood boiled, he shouted angrily, slapped his horse and wielded his sword, and went up to meet him.

clang!
There was a sound of gold and iron intersecting, and the two men slammed into each other fiercely with their weapons.

In Li Yuanba's hand, the eighty catty bamboo-jointed whip slammed down fiercely. Although it was heavy, it was light in Li Yuanba's hands.

Almost at the moment of the fight, Li Yuanba gained the upper hand, Xu Ding swayed three times, so he didn't fall off the horse.

Xu Ding only felt a terrifying force coming from the blade, which made his arms numb and his mouth bleeding. He looked at the black-faced Li Yuanba in horror.

Xu Ding never imagined that this black-faced man would be so powerful, and the strength of the grass bandit in his eyes would be so terrifying.

Immediately, Xu Ding wanted to turn around and escape, but he was entangled by Li Yuanba's double hammer. If he was not careful, he would be killed on the spot. In desperation, Xu Ding could only bite the bullet and deal with it in a panic.

Li Yuanba's ability was many times higher than Xu Ding's. After more than a dozen rounds, Xu Ding couldn't handle it anymore, and he was sweating profusely.

On the city wall of Changzhou.

"Master Zhizhishi, Xu Ding is not the opponent of that black-faced general. If he continues to fight, his life may be in danger." Jin Jie said eagerly.

Although Jin Jie and Xu Ding did not deal with each other on weekdays, but now that the Liangshan army is approaching the city, Jin Jie does not want Xu Ding to die so early.

Qian Zhenpeng at the side naturally also saw that Xu Ding was defeated, worried about the safety of his confidants, and immediately stepped down the city wall.

Holding a wind-throwing knife in his hand, the curly-haired red rabbit horse under his crotch immediately slapped the horse and danced with the knife, and rushed out of the city.

"Xu Dingxiu panicked, Qian Zhenpeng is here!"

Qian Zhenpeng rode his horse out of the city, shouted angrily, and went straight for Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba saw another thief general rushing out of Changzhou City, and when he heard that it was Qian Zhenpeng, the envoy of Changzhou Zhizhi, he immediately felt secretly happy. The speed of the two hammers in his hands suddenly increased, hoping to kill Xu Ding before Qian Zhenpeng arrived. Get off your horse.

The double hammers in Li Yuanba's hands were opened and closed, powerful and heavy, and they were also elusive.

"Bah!"

After two rounds, Li Yuanba yelled angrily, like a blast of thunder from nine heavens above, Xu Ding trembled in fright, in a daze, the double hammers had already approached.

Bang!
Li Yuanba hit Xu Ding's chest with a double hammer, only to see a large piece of Xu Ding's chest was sunken, a big mouthful of blood poured in and out, fell off his horse, and died unexpectedly.
