The arrow was as fast as lightning and hit the opponent's neck. It was also Zhang Zhongxiong's luck that he raised his arms and shouted at this moment, "Don't flee, evacuate in an orderly manner!"

The right arm just blocked the neck at the critical moment, 'Puff! The arrow hit Zhang Zhongxiong's raised right arm, and the powerful arrow pierced through his arm.

Zhang Zhongxiong yelled, the big knife almost fell to the ground, and was pressed on the saddle with his left hand in time, the arrow also made him break out in a cold sweat, of course he knew that he escaped the fatal arrow by luck.

Zhang Zhongxiong didn't dare to stay any longer, turned his horse's head and fled. The horse rushed down the high slope, onto the ice, and ran towards the southeast. The Song army blocked the retreat, and they could only flee eastward along the ice.

The general's escape became the last straw that broke the camel's camel's back. The Qi army on the shore was defeated. The soldiers threw away their armor and weapons, rushed to the ice and ran eastward.

"Kill me! Surrender is not accepted."

Chen Qing issued the killing order, and all the cavalry rushed to the ice, chasing and killing the Qi army behind them. Army cavalry killed.

When Chen Qing entered Guanzhong, he wanted to establish his prestige in the Qi army with brutal killings, so that the Qi army could have a good taste of his strength.

This battle was extremely tragic. Only more than 100 people from the [-] Qi army escaped with Zhang Zhongxiong, and the remaining [-] people were all killed, and all their heads were cut off by the Song army.

However, the Song Army had less than 200 casualties in this battle, of which only more than [-] were killed, creating a battle with the smallest casualty ratio since the establishment of the Qinzhou Army.

……

Zhang Zhongxiong led more than 100 remnants of the army and ran all the way, and fled to Jingzhao City in just an hour.

Tang Shaoqing led an army of [-] people just out of the city, and was about to meet the [-] former army. Unexpectedly, he saw Zhang Zhongxiong with disheveled hair and arrow wounds on the official road ahead. He fled back in embarrassment. .

Tang Shaoqing was taken aback, and hurried up to meet him and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhang Zhongxiong said angrily: "Tang Dutong, we have been fooled. The opponent has not only [-] cavalry, but at least [-] cavalry, and they are not usually strong and brave."

Tang Shaoqing was stunned for a while, then stammered and asked after a while: "Other... where are the other brothers?"

"We were attacked halfway by the Song army. The whole army was defeated. The whole army was wiped out. Only more than 100 people escaped with me. The other brothers... the whole army was wiped out."

When his eyes went dark, Tang Shaoqing seemed to have encountered a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and his entire army was wiped out. How could he explain to King Qin?

It took him a while to recover, and he asked in horror: "Where is the Song army? It can't be Qu Duan's army. They don't have so many cavalry."

"It's not Qu Duan's army. You can tell by the arrow on my arm. It seems to be an engraved arrow."

Zhang Zhongxiong ran for his life all the way, and he didn't have time to care about his arrow wound, so he was relieved at this moment.

Tang Shaoqing hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look. There were two words on the shaft of the arrow, Commander... The name on the back was in the meat and could not be seen.

He hastily ordered the soldiers to carefully cut off the arrow, and pulled out the front end of the arrow, only to see the word bloody on the front end of the arrow.

Zhang Zhongxiong didn't care about stopping the bleeding, so he and Tang Shaoqing stepped forward to take a closer look. They finally saw the bloody name engraved on the shaft of the arrow: 'Chen Qing'.

The two raised their heads and looked at each other, taking a breath at the same time.

Chapter 154

The four gates of Jingzhao City were closed tightly, and soldiers were standing on the head of Xicheng City. A feeling of uneasiness filled every soldier's heart.

Outside the west city, more than 2000 Song Army cavalry are calmly building a frightening building, a building of flesh and blood built with [-] human heads, Jingguan.

Each human head is still wearing a helmet, with a hideous appearance, layered on top of each other, which has a huge impact on people's hearts and morale.

"His Highness King Qin is here!"

Someone shouted from the top of the city, and the soldiers stepped out of the way one after another, Qin Wang Liu Yi walked over quickly.

Liu Yi leaned on the battlements and looked down, only to see a black cavalry in the distance, with banners unfurled, the number of people was unclear, but there were hundreds of people in front of them who were stacking something, a huge black object.

"What's that?" Liu Yi asked, pointing at the black object.

A general was very embarrassed, but he had to say it, so he could only stammer: "My lord, that's...that's Jingguan!"

"Excuse me, Tang Dutong, what is Jingguan?" Liu Yi turned around and asked Dutong Tang Shaoqing.

Tang Shaoqing explained vaguely: "Reporting to the lord, Jingguan existed as early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. It was a means to show off military achievements and attack enemy soldiers."

"Tell me clearly, what exactly is it?" Liu Yi's tone was very dissatisfied.

Tang Shaoqing gritted his teeth, and said bravely: "My lord, Jingguan is... that is Rentou Mountain."

Liu Yi's eyes widened suddenly, and his voice trembled, "Head...a mountain?"

Tang Shaoqing really didn't want to answer this question, so he winked at Zhao Wen, the deputy capital commander next to him. Zhao Wen stepped forward and explained: "My lord, it's the five thousand soldiers we sent before. This Chen Qing is extremely cruel. He doesn't accept surrender. All the brothers were killed, and their heads were cut off to build the Jingguan, which is actually a demonstration against us."

Liu Yi is notoriously timid. He heard that the black building actually contained [-] human heads. At this moment, his mouth was dry and his heart was beating violently. , actually fainted.

"My lord! My lord!"

The surrounding soldiers panicked and rushed to rescue Liu Yi. After a while, Liu Yi slowly came to his senses. He said in a trembling voice, "This Chen Qing is...he is simply the Devil Chen!"

This sentence speaks to the hearts of the surrounding soldiers. I have heard for a long time that Chen Qing is extremely fierce and has defeated the Jurchens several times. Now it seems that this man is so cruel that he refused to accept surrender and killed all the soldiers. the devil.

Tang Shaoqing has seen bloody scenes that are ten times more cruel than this one. The prince was a farmer not long ago, so he probably has never seen a battlefield. He sighed and quickly ordered: "Take the prince to the city!"

Everyone rushed to carry Liu Yi away.

Zhao Wen stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Should Chen Qing be allowed to act aggressively outside the city? We have [-] soldiers, including [-] cavalry, and we are no match for Chen Qing's [-] men. The world ridicules."

"What can I do? You saw that prince too, and he was so frightened that he fainted. Will he agree to fight?"

Neither of them could do anything, Liu Yi held on to the military power tightly, although they were all in control, they didn't have the right to decide to send troops to fight, which made them really depressed and helpless.

……

Chen Qing rode on a horse and looked at Jingzhao City from a distance. He saw that the city gate was closed tightly, and the troops in the city never dared to fight. It is a great shame and humiliation for the audience to be able to remain silent.

"Bring Zhang Xiao up!"

Zhang Xiao was the staff member of Sun Jiachang, the magistrate of Xianyang County. He was originally from Xiangyang, and he also studied in Bianliang Taixue, and he was a classmate of Sun Jiachang.

When Sun Jiachang became an official, he supported this classmate and let him be his staff member, but Zhang Xiao never expected that Sun Jiachang was actually a Taosha official. As an orthodox scholar, Zhang Xiao's contempt can be imagined.

This time Sun Jiachang secretly reported to Jingzhao that he had been executed by Song Jun. Chen Qing saw that Zhang Xiao was clear-headed and resourceful, so he let him follow him temporarily.

Zhang Xiao came to Chen Qing on horseback and saluted, "The commander is looking for me?"

Chen Qing pointed at the city with a whip, and asked with a smile: "You are more familiar with the situation, why is it that we have built the Jingguan, and the enemy is still unwilling to fight?"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "I told the commander before that this King Qin Liu Yi is notoriously timid. He dare not even ride a horse. It should be because he does not agree to fight. No matter how angry the generals below are, there is nothing he can do about it."

"Then Jingzhaocheng can only let it go like this?"

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said, "The commander might as well use the aggressive method to try!"

"What aggressive method?"

"Give Tang Shaoqing a set of women's clothes. Even if he can bear it, his subordinates may not be able to bear it. Maybe there will be a good show tonight."

Chen Qing laughed and gave a set of women's dresses. Didn't Zhuge Liang give Sima Yi a set of women's dresses?

……

Several cavalrymen, holding their shields high, rode close to the city gate. They threw a package onto the city gate with all their strength, turned around and galloped away.

A note was written on the package, "Chen Qing, the commander of the Qinzhou Zhizhi envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, presented the gift of Tang Shaoqing, the capital of the puppet Qi. '

The soldiers rushed to give the package to Tang Shaoqing, the commander of the capital. When the generals heard that it was a gift from Chen Qing, they stepped forward to check it. Tang Shaoqing opened the package, and inside was a bright red dress with a few large characters on it. The woman will wear Tang Shaoqing's skirt.

All the generals were in an uproar, drawing their knives and shouting, "Bastard, kill that bastard!"

Tang Shaoqing was furious, his eyes darkened for a while, and he almost couldn't stand still. Two soldiers hurriedly supported him. Tang Shaoqing waved his hands, stared at the city and gritted his teeth: "Chen, you are too deceitful!"

"Dutong, open the city gate and fight out! The opponent only has more than 2000 people, not superhuman!" All the generals were very angry and called for a fight.

Tang Shaoqing nodded, "I'll tell my prince, please let us go to war."

Tang Shaoqing hadn't lost his mind yet, King Qin was the supreme commander, and they couldn't open the city gate to fight without King Qin's consent.

He turned and walked quickly down town.

Tang Shaoqing came to Prince Qin's mansion and asked the guards to go in to report. Soon, the guards came out and said, "Tang Dutong, the prince said that he is bored and doesn't want to see anyone!"

"You tell the prince, the soldiers are very angry, if you don't fight again, the soldiers will rebel."

The guard ran in again, and after a while, the guard came back with a sad face, bowed and said: "Report to Dutong, the prince said that the enemy is strong and we are weak, whoever dares to fight against the city will be killed immediately!"

'The enemy is strong and we are weak? '

Tang Shaoqing felt an evil fire rushing straight into his chest, and his chest was about to explode with anger. He was so angry that he looked up to the sky and shouted: "Worthless! Useless! You are so useless!"

……

As night fell, Tang Shaoqing was sitting in the big tent drinking a cup of mulled wine. At this moment, a soldier ran into the tent in horror and reported, "Report to Dutong, Han Qiao and Song Ling have led the troops out of the city!"

"what!"

Tang Shaoqing stood up suddenly, and asked in surprise and anger: "When did it happen?"

"Just now!"

Tang Shaoqing drew out his sword and strode out. The soldiers led the horse, and he got on the horse and ran towards the west gate. Needless to say, he could guess that the two bastards, Han Qiao and Song Ling, must be heading for Jingguan.

The gate of the west city was wide open, and Han Qiao and Song Ling were mad at the woman's dress that Chen Qing had given them during the day. The two couldn't bear it anymore, so they took advantage of the cover of night and led a thousand soldiers from their headquarters to fight out of the city.

Of course, they were not going to provoke the cavalry of the Song Army, but to snatch back the heads of Jingguan.

In the dark, Chen Qing led two thousand cavalrymen and had been waiting for a long time. Sure enough, Zhang Xiao said that the Qi army in the city couldn't bear it anymore.

"Commander Qi, there are only [-] enemy troops, and there is no Qi army behind."

After hearing the scout's report, Chen Qing nodded, and said to Yang Yuanqing: "You lead Wang Duo and a thousand brothers to attack from the south and block their retreat. I will lead the army to attack from the north!"

Yang Yuanqing went away with the order, and after waiting for a while, Chen Qing ordered: "Attack!"

The four hooves of the war horse were wrapped in thick cloth, and there was no violent sound of hooves when running. Under the leadership of Chen Qing, a thousand cavalrymen silently charged towards the two thousand Qi troops next to the Jingguan...

Chapter 155

Tang Shaoqing stood on the top of the city, looking nervously at the soldiers of the Qi army who were dismantling the Jingguan a mile away, anxious in his heart, and said silently: "Hurry up! Come to an end!"

"Dutong, it's the Song Army, the Song Army cavalry is here!" A soldier pointed to the north and shouted.

Tang Shaoqing's heart seemed to sink into the abyss. He saw that in the darkness, a cavalry was silently killing the Qi army. The distance was less than two hundred steps, but the Qi army didn't seem to notice.

"Ring the alarm bell!" Tang Shaoqing ordered urgently.

'when!when!when! '

The alarm bell rang on the top of the city, which was particularly piercing in the dark night, and the sound also traveled very far.

Jingguan was only half demolished, and suddenly there was a rapid alarm bell sounding from the top of the city. General Han Qiao also suddenly saw the cavalry coming from the north, and their sight was just blocked by several houses.

"retreat!"

Han Qiao yelled, and the soldiers panicked and turned around and ran away. Another general, Song Ling, also calmed down. The other general wiped out even 5000 people. They only had 2000 people. Didn't they want to die when they came out?

Song Ling also shouted: "Retreat quickly!"

Two thousand soldiers of the Qi army scrambled towards the city gate one mile away, but less than half a mile away from the city gate, a cavalry suddenly charged from the south with such a speed that they cut off their retreat.

The cavalry was extremely fierce, and they stabbed the soldiers of the Qi army fiercely with their spears. Chen Qing's cavalry also caught up behind them.

Han Qiao felt extremely regretful, and shouted, "Break out! Break out!"

"It's useless to break through, just die!"

A cold and stern voice came from behind him. When he turned his head, a general quickly passed by him, and at the same time, there was a crescent-shaped lightning, and the lightning instantly arrived in front of him.

"puff!"

Han Qiao's head was chopped off in half by Chen Qing's crescent halberd, and his white brains flew out.

Chen Qing didn't care about the enemy generals, he directly rushed into the crowd of enemy soldiers, and started killing. Fang Tian painted a halberd and stabbed right and left, with the sound of bones cracking, flesh breaking, screams, and wailing, Chen Qing seemed to be killing everyone. The god was reborn, and the places he passed were full of corpses, and there were many dead corpses.

On the top of the city, all the soldiers were terrified and shuddered, they had never seen such a ferocious monster, no wonder Wanyan Loushi also died in his hands.

Tang Shaoqing originally wanted to send the army out to respond, but at this moment, he also lost his courage, and immediately shouted: "Close the city gate and pull up the suspension bridge!"

The gates of the city were closed, the suspension bridge was pulled up, and the two thousand Qi troops were completely abandoned. Another general, Song Ling, met Yang Zaixing and was shot and killed by Yang Zaixing.

The 2000 people had no way to escape and could not surrender. They were killed by the Song Army cavalry in desperation. None of the 2000 people escaped, and all died under the Song Army's iron hoof.

As the sky gradually dawned, the battlefield outside the city finally calmed down. Corpses were strewn across the field, blood flowed into rivers, and the pungent smell of blood permeated the sky. There were flocks of crows coming to look for food, circling in the sky, squawking.

Chen Qing led the cavalry to the east, but they were nowhere to be seen. There were only frightened soldiers on the top of the city. It was not until noon that it was confirmed that the Song army had left. Tang Shaoqing ordered the gate to be opened and sent soldiers to collect the corpses. .

"Tang Dutong, where did Chen Qing's army go?" Zhang Zhongxiong walked up to the top of the wall and asked.

"I do not know either!"
