In any case, Wang Zongshi did not even succeed in defeating Xia Cheng with his final trick, so it can be said that there is no hope of winning next. On the top of the city, the Xia family brothers led the Gao family soldiers to fight all the way, and they have slowly suppressed the defenders at the top of the city. Now there are thousands of Gao family troops rushing to the top of the city, and the Song army is already defeated. .
Xia Cheng obviously noticed the situation on the city, sneered, and shouted to Wang Zongshi again: "Wang Zongshi. Let me say it again, surrender! Don't you die! Prosperity, wealth and wealth, you can't enjoy it! There is only one dead end if you resist to the end. "
The wrist holding the giant sword trembled a little. Today, if he used that trick twice in a row, it was a great burden for Wang Zongshi. In the face of Xia Cheng's recruitment again, Wang Zongshi held his head high, his eyes were full of heat, and said, "Hugh is so nonsense. Your grandfather Wang Zongshi is the kind of person who is on the verge of attacking the enemy? It is easy for you to take my life today. But. It is impossible for me to betray your majesty and Da Song!"
"Humph!" His solicitation was rejected again, and Xia Cheng's eyes became more angry. If it weren't for recruiting talents for Gao An, he would have killed Wang Zongshi with a single blow. But now it seems that it is impossible for Wang Zongshi to surrender. Xia Cheng turned his wrist and said to Wang Zongshi: "Since you are looking for death, then don't blame me for being ruthless with the sword." After that, Xia Cheng swung his knife towards Wang. Zong Shi slashed over.
Although Wang Zongshi knew that he had refused Xia Cheng's solicitation and would not escape death, it did not mean that he would stand there waiting for death. Facing the sharp eyebrow knife that Xia Cheng split, Wang Zongshi rolled on the ground again, avoiding Xia Cheng's attack, waved the giant knife, and slashed towards Xia Cheng's legs.
However, at this moment, Wang Zongshi's state has fallen a lot compared to the state of his heyday, and this sword has been completely unable to exert his full strength. When Xia Cheng saw it, he just lifted his foot and stepped on Wang Zongshi's giant knife. At the same time, he swung it out, hitting Wang Zongshi's shoulder. Fortunately, Wang Zongshi hid quickly, otherwise, this knife alone would be enough to remove one of Wang Zongshi's arms.
Even so, the knife was not light on Wang Zongshi's body, blood splashed out, and half of Wang Zongshi's face was stained red. Gritting his teeth, Wang Zongshi reluctantly kicked Xia Cheng's knee, and Xia Cheng did not expect that Wang Zongshi would be able to counterattack so quickly after suffering a knife from himself.
He accidentally kicked him back several steps by Wang Zongshi, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Zongshi also drew out his giant sword and once again killed him towards Xia Cheng.
When he accidentally hit Wang Zongshi's move, Xia Cheng became even more angry now, and shouted, the brow blade sharpened half an arc in the air, and slashed towards Wang Zongshi with an extremely strange arc. .
When Wang Zongshi saw it, he didn't even bother to attack Xia Cheng, and hurriedly received protection on his chest. This way, he should have just blocked the attack of the eyebrow sharp knife. But at the moment when the sharp eyebrow blade was about to hit the giant sword, Wang Zongshi felt his eyes flash, and the sharp eyebrow blade suddenly turned to Wang Zongshi's bottom plate, and in a blink of an eye it was cut out on Wang Zongshi's left leg. A hole.
Wang Zongshi was taken aback. He had never seen such a weird sword technique. No wonder His Majesty also told them on weekdays that Xia Cheng is also one of the strongest masters in the world, and he really has two brushes.
And after he got a knife in the foot, Wang Zongshi couldn't stand, half kneeling on the ground, but simply rolled away from Xia Cheng's attack range. Turning his head to see, the situation on the entire city head has now completely fallen to the other side, and it will be sooner or later that the city head is breached. A trace of helplessness and determination flashed in Wang Zongshi's eyes, and finally he shouted: "All army! Retreat!" After speaking, Wang Zongshi gritted his teeth and turned his head and ran into the city.
Wang Zongshi's retreat command meant that the Song Army would vacate the city head. Without the obstacle of the city wall, the Song Army inside the city would definitely not be able to stop the coalition of Liu Jiajun and Gao Jiajun outside the city. This also means that Nanxiong Zhoucheng was breached.
"Huh! Want to run?" Xia Cheng couldn't help but was stunned when he saw Wang Zongshi chose to escape, but he quickly reacted and snorted with a disdainful face, then he wanted to chase him with his knife. Wang Zongshi had injuries on his leg and couldn't run fast at all. How could he escape Xia Cheng's chase? Seeing that Xia Cheng is getting closer and closer to Wang Zongshi, it won't take long for Xia Cheng to catch up with Wang Zongshi and give Wang Zongshi a fatal blow.
"Commander! Run!" Suddenly a shout sounded, but a person suddenly rushed out of Xia Cheng's right, and directly pounced on Xia Cheng, who was a personal soldier under Wang Zongshi. It turned out that when he saw Wang Zongshi being chased by Xia Cheng, he rushed forward desperately, trying to help Wang Zongshi block Xia Cheng.
But how could he be able to stop Xia Cheng with his little soldier? Seeing the soldier leaping forward, Xia Cheng's eyes flashed with contempt. Without stopping, he waved his eyebrow sharp knife with one hand, and slashed it twice in the air. He actually drove the soldier in the air. Was cut into four pieces.
"Don't want to hurt my leader." The body of the soldier did not land, and a few soldiers rushed up. They never thought that they could survive. They used their body as a weapon, just to be able to. Block Xia Cheng's footsteps for a moment. On Wang Zongshi's side, two soldiers also ran up, helping Wang Zongshi from the left and right, and then ran into the city.
The sacrifices of those few soldiers finally had an effect. Although they all died tragically under Xia Cheng's brow blade, Xia Cheng's footsteps also had to stop. Seeing Wang Zongshi escaped with the help of the two soldiers, Xia Cheng shouted angrily, and started to pursue the chase. But as soon as Xia Cheng’s legs opened, he felt very heavy. When he looked down, it was a soldier who had just been chopped to the ground and had not died. Before he died, his hands directly hugged Xia Cheng’s. One foot, firmly grasped and refused to let go.
The soldier on his deathbed looked up at Xia Cheng with a grim look, summoned the last bit of strength, and said, "Don't think about hurting me..." Before finishing the words, the soldier's head tilted and there was no breath.
"Huh." Xia Cheng waved a knife in his hand, and divided the corpse of the soldier at his feet. When he looked up, Wang Zongshi had already run out of sight. Although his face could still remain calm, the undulating chest represented Xia Cheng's current angry mood.
"Father." At this time, Xia Wu and his two brothers also rushed to Xia Cheng's side. Since Wang Zongshi gave the order to retreat, the Song army on the head of the city also began to flee. Seeing that the overall situation had been determined, after the three of Xia Wu killed for a while, they did not continue to participate in the fight. Xia Wu saw Xia Cheng's appearance, knowing that his father must be annoyed for not being able to catch Wang Zongshi, and quickly persuaded: "Father rest assured. Now Nanxiong Zhoucheng has been besieged by Tuan Tuan, it is difficult for Wang Zongshi to escape."
With Xia Wu's persuasion, Xia Cheng's expression finally improved. He nodded, but he glanced at the three brothers Xia Wu and said, "The three of you are not enough in your cultivation. After this battle, I will be your father. You must train you well." When he said this, Xia Cheng also looked angry, obviously dissatisfied that his three sons had just been defeated by the opponent.
The three brothers had to laugh bitterly, and promised Xia Cheng: "Yes! Father." They knew that Xia Cheng's words meant that they would not have any good days in the future.
Let’s say that Wang Zongshi finally fled the battlefield at the head of the city with the support of the two soldiers and entered the city. The two soldiers did not know where to go. One of them asked Wang Zongshi quickly: "Commander! Next we should How to do?"
Wang Zongshi endured the severe pain from his body and glanced back. There were several Song Army soldiers who had escaped with him behind him. Wang Zongshi gritted his teeth, pointed at two of them, and shouted: "You two, Go to the east of the city and the east of the city respectively, and inform the soldiers and horses there to quickly withdraw to the south of the city. We also broke out from the south of the city." Wang Zongshi also knew that Nanxiongzhou city was heavily besieged now, and the north of the city is now lost, so we can only break through from the south. Going northwest and returning to the Shanzhai in the southwest mountainous area of the Nan'an Army, there is a glimmer of life.
With Wang Zongshi’s words, everyone is considered to have the backbone. The two named soldiers immediately went to implement Wang Zongshi’s orders, and Wang Zongshi himself was also supported by the soldiers, with the remaining soldiers and horses, and began to march towards Rushed to the south of the city.
At the South City Gate, Cui Hu, who was originally stationed here, has taken two thousand people to support the east of the city, and the remaining five thousand people have lost nearly a thousand people in the previous fight. Fortunately, Bai Xi, who attacked the south of the city, didn't mean to attack, so after Wang Zongshi rushed to the south of the city, the head of the city was still not captured. Seeing Wang Zongshi rushing to the south of the city, he was also shocked by Cui Hu's lieutenant who was appointed to command the south of the city. He had never seen Wang Zongshi so embarrassed? Hurriedly stepped forward to salute Wang Zongshi and asked: "Commander. You are..."
Wang Zongshi didn't have the thought to explain. The injury on his body was a little better than before. There were soldiers to help with the bandage along the way, which finally stopped the blood. Released the guards who supported him from the left and right, raised his head and looked outside the city, frowned, then turned to the lieutenant and said: "There are five hundred guards left at the front of the city, and the remaining soldiers gather at the city gate to prepare to break through. "
"Break through the siege?" The lieutenant was taken aback, but as a soldier, he naturally understood the meaning of obeying the military order, and immediately clasped his fists and shouted: "Yes! Subordinates do!" When even commanding the defenders at the top of the city, according to Wang Zongshi's Ordered, five thousand people were left to continue fighting, and the remaining soldiers and horses began to gather at the gate of the city. Only after Wang Zongshi's order, they opened the gate and prepared to break through.
It was a bit awkward to rely on a few thousand people to defend, but now it has suddenly reduced to 500 people, but the situation on the top of the city has not changed much. Wang Zongshi squinted his eyes and looked at the battle on the head of the city, but he didn't show a surprised attitude. It was obvious that the other party was doing something tricky. Maybe, this breakout will be easy.
"Commander." "Commander." Not long after, with a few shouts and shouts, Wang Zongshi looked back, but Cui Hu, Zhang Yuntian and others rushed over with soldiers and horses, plus the South City Gate. There are nearly 8,000 remaining soldiers and horses here. Cui Hu and Zhang Yuntian rushed to Wang Zongshi's side. They were shocked when they saw Wang Zongshi's whole body wounded. Hua Zhonglong quickly said to Wang Zongshi: "Commander. What's wrong with you?"
"Don't worry about that much." Wang Zongshi didn't bother to explain, and shouted: "Take care of all the soldiers and horses. We are ready to break through."
"Break through?" Hearing what Wang Zongshi said, Cui Hu and Zhang Yuntian couldn't help but stunned. Cui Hu quickly understood that something must be wrong with the north of the city that Wang Zongshi was guarding. His face sank, although the enemy's soldiers There are a lot of horses, but Wang Zongshi guards it. It is reasonable to say that it is impossible to be breached so quickly. It seems that something unexpected happened to the north of the city.
But now is not the time to discuss these matters. After receiving Wang Zongshi's order, Cui Hu and Zhang Yuntian immediately went down to rectify the army and horses, and Wang Zongshi shouted to the hundreds of soldiers who remained at the head of the city: "Don't worry. I will not give up on you. As long as the soldiers and horses below rush out of the city gate, we can also leave here and follow them to break through. Don't worry. I will stay here. Wait until the last moment."
If Wang Zongshi didn’t say this, the soldiers would really be a little worried, but now Wang Zongshi, who is the highest commander, decided to stay with them, which also let the soldiers put their minds down, and all of them were cheering In order to fight, bravely kill the enemy.
At the same time, in the east and east of the city, there was no city head abandoned by the Song army, and it was quickly taken by Liu Jiajun. The Liu Jiajun who had occupied the head of the city, led by Liu Song and other generals of the Liu Jiajun, directly killed the city of Nanxiong Zhoucheng. But if you are interested, you will notice that in the process of capturing Nanxiong Prefecture, these Liu Jiajun did not choose to occupy those important military and political facilities, but blocked the streets in Nanxiong Prefecture.
And when Xia Cheng brought his three sons and a group of Gao Jiajun from the north of the city to the south, he happened to collide with the Liu Jiajun who was stuck in the street. Seeing that the street was actually blocked, the Gao Jiajun led by Xia Cheng couldn't pass at all. Xia Cheng shouted at the Liu Jiajun at the moment: "You guys don't get out of the way."
Among those Liu's army who were blocking the way, a man who looked like an officer walked out and saluted Xia Cheng respectfully, saying: "General Xia, please forgive me. The younger ones are ordered by our general to keep here to prevent the enemy from escaping. Without the order of my general, the villain dare not give way. It's better to ask General Xia to take another path, maybe he can still pass."
"You." Xia Cheng glared at each other when Liu Jiajun was so soft and not hard. Now that Liu Jiajun and Gao Jiajun are cooperating, Xia Cheng is not good at destroying the relationship between the two armies. Fortunately, Nan Xiong The Zhoucheng was surrounded on all sides, and he was not afraid of where Wang Zongshi would go. Immediately, Xia Cheng gave the officer a fierce look, turned his horse's head, and shouted at the Xia family brothers and a group of Gao family soldiers: "Go! Let's change place."
Gao An spent a lot of time in Nanxiong prefecture that year, but Xia Cheng was very familiar with Nanxiong prefecture, and soon found another channel. What Xia Cheng didn't expect was that this passage was also blocked by General Liu Jiajun. Another officer from Liu Jiajun stood up and refused to give way to Xia Cheng for the same reason.
"Bastard." This is not only Xia Cheng, but even Xia Hu, the general behind Xia Cheng, couldn't help it. Even if he was ahead, he pointed at the officer and shouted: "Even if Liu Yi is here, I dare not be right. My father is so rude. Who are you? You dare to stop my father? Don’t get out of the way quickly. Otherwise, I’ll cut your head with one knife.” Xia Hu’s words are a bit too much, but Xia Cheng and others They were all calm and did not stop, after all, what Liu Jiajun did was too much, wasn't he hitting Xia Cheng in the face in front of him.
Being threatened by Xia Hu, the Liu Jiajun officer was unmoved at all. Instead, he said helplessly: "The major general wants to kill the villain. It's just a matter of effort. The villain naturally believes it. If this is the case, the villain dare not give way. Our military laws are strict. If you violate the orders of your superiors, you must be dealt with by the military law. General Xia Wanwang, please forgive me. It's better for General Xia to go to other streets, maybe I can pass from other places." At the end of the day, this officer gave the same advice as the other officer before.
The officer put on this posture. Xia Cheng and the others were really not good at starting him. Xia Cheng's expression was gloomy, as if he had guessed that the other party was deliberately blocking him. Could it be that Liu Yi wanted to take this opportunity to seize Wang Zongshi and use it for himself? If this is the case, it would be very bad. Although Wang Zongshi resolutely rejected Xia Cheng's solicitation before, it is difficult to guarantee that Wang Zongshi would not agree with Liu Yi's solicitation. If Wang Zongshi came to Liu Yi's account, wouldn't it greatly increase Liu Yi's strength? Thinking of this, Xia Cheng didn't care about being too long-winded with this little officer, turned his horse's head directly, and once again ordered his subordinates to rush to another road.
The officer watched Xia Cheng and the others leave with a smile on his mouth. Then he turned and bowed to a general of Liu Jiajun behind him, saying: "San Gongzi. Everything is done according to your instructions."
"Hahahaha." A laughter sounded from among the Liu Jiajun soldiers, and saw a line of Liu Jiajun soldiers standing in the front, strode out, and it was Liu Song, Liu Yi's own brother. Liu Song glanced at the direction Xia Cheng was leaving, and then smiled and shouted to the officer: "Yes! Well done, this time you have done a great job. Just remember, when the battle is over, I will personally Give you credit."
The officer was also overjoyed when he was able to get Liu Song’s personal promise. He just took his head to risk and he finally reaped a reward. He immediately bowed down to Liu Song and shouted: "Little Xie San Gongzi promoted it. En." Liu Song waved his hand indifferently for the soldier's flattering thanks. He raised his head again and looked in the direction where Xia Cheng and his party were leaving, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he whispered to himself in secret: "Brother Zhao Guang is really good, and he counts Xia Cheng's every move carefully. Humph! Gao An The child wants to make us work hard, without any effort, to think beautifully! This time I will drag you into this quagmire too!"
As for what happened on Liu Song's side, Xia Cheng, who had already left, naturally didn't know. For fear that Wang Zongshi would be caught by Liu Yi, Xia Cheng hurried to another street. Looking around, there was no half-person figure on the street this time. Xia Cheng was frightened by the previous two encounters. Seeing that no one stopped him, Xia Cheng was also relieved. Dang even slapped his horse and shouted, "Go!" Let's catch up."
"Is General Xia ahead?" Just as Xia Cheng's voice fell, a shout suddenly rang from another street next to him. When Xia Cheng heard it, he quickly grabbed his mount and looked back, but it was Liu Jiajun. General Chen Wuzheng drove over with a team of people from the side. Chen Wu, who was walking in the front, saw Xia Cheng and shouted with a smile on his face: "Sure enough, General Xia! General Xia's skills are indeed well-deserved. I think that the north of the city was broken before coming. It must be General Xia's credit."
