"That's bad." Yang Huai's expression on the other side also changed at the same time, not because he heard Zhao Yun's words, but because Yang Huai was riding on a high-headed horse, and he had seen him far to the east of Quzhou City. He was sent before. The Xia Jiajun army who went there to attack the city unexpectedly began to retreat towards this side.
Although it was nightfall, Yang Huai was able to see the identity of the opponent through the torches in the opponent's army formation, and he also clearly saw the formation of the army, panic and disorderly, it was obviously a defeat. Yang Huai is not a fool either. Seeing this scene, he can naturally guess that it must be the reinforcements of the Song Army who have arrived. Now Yang Huai was caught in a dilemma. Should he stay and continue to attack the city, or immediately lead the army to retreat
Yang Huai secretly calculated in his heart that four days have passed since the first contact with the Quzhou army. Calculating the distance, at most, the soldiers and horses from Shaoxing came to the nearest. Even with the addition of local soldiers and horses, it was only about 20,000. In contrast, the Xia Family Army under his command still had an advantage. Now that the soldiers and horses in the east were repelled, it must have been caught off guard by the opponent. As long as the soldiers and horses were assembled, the Song Army could not help himself.
Yang Huai, who had made a decision in his heart, clenched his fist hard, and shouted to the messenger behind him: "Order! Order the soldiers and horses of the east of the city to come to help. Let Di Hu continue to attack the city gate, don't stop." The last command, It was Yang Huai who saw Di Hu's move to stop the attack on the city and added it. Although Yang Huai didn't think the extra reinforcements would threaten him, the appearance of enemy reinforcements still made Yang Huai. Feeling a bit of crisis, we must take Quzhou City as soon as possible, and the province has many nights and dreams.
"Accomplished." The messenger immediately followed Yang Huai's order to execute it. Soon, Yang Huai's order passed the drumbeat of the messenger and was announced to the entire battlefield.
With the sound of the battle drum, Zhao Yun in the center of the battlefield also changed his expression. Although he did not understand the meaning of the battle drum, he knew that there must be some changes. He turned his head and saw it, sure enough. After the sound of the war drums, the Xia's army launched a more fierce attack on the city. Di Hu was obviously the first to vent his dissatisfaction. He was the first to climb the ladder and head up the arrow rain falling from the city. Rush.
"No." Zhao Yun was originally determined to take a beheading operation, but now the reinforcements have arrived, and from the sound of this horn, Zhao Yun also got a message that he is already very sure of defending Quzhou City. Zhao Yun absolutely cannot allow him to fall short at this final critical moment. Immediately, Zhao Yun turned around, turned his head and broke through in the direction of the city gate.
Zhao Yun's actions also surprised those Saint King Death Guards. Although they were just a group of ordinary soldiers, they were also very clear to a general like Zhao Yun and would never make such an act of fleeing. But Zhao Yun had subverted their cognition, so there was no time to stop Zhao Yun at all, and he forced Zhao Yun to rush out of their encirclement.
However, these Saint King Death Guards certainly wouldn't just let it go. The twenty-odd Saint King Death Guards were just stunned for a moment, and then immediately came back to their senses. Without a word, they chased Zhao Yun. Not only them, but the Saint King Death Guard phalanx at the back also pursued the past, because the military order they received from Yang Huai was to kill Zhao Yun. Although their previous beliefs have been shattered, the Saint King Death Guard has never defy the military order. Even if the entire army is annihilated, they have to perform their mission.
If it were normal, those Saint King Death Guards would never be able to catch up with Zhao Yun, but now Zhao Yun is exhausted, and there are wounds all over his body, which slowed Zhao Yun's actions greatly. It didn't take long before Zhao Yun was caught by that. More than twenty Saint King Death Guards chased him up and surrounded him round and round. The other Saint King Death Guards also surrounded Zhao Yun one after another to prevent Zhao Yun from continuing to break through.
Seeing the surrounding three circles and three circles outside, Zhao Yun also knew that he had no chance to break through again. Although he was very anxious about the situation in Quzhou City, he had to hold his mind and put the silver spear across his chest. Get out of a defensive position, ready to fight.
Yang Huai behind was also relieved at this moment. Just saw Zhao Yun turned around and escaped. Yang Huai was taken aback. This cost so many soldiers' lives, Zhao Yun was about to be taken, how could he let him run away? What? Finally, the Saint King Death Guard did not disappoint Yang Huai. Seeing that Zhao Yun was once again surrounded, Yang Huai took a sigh of relief. Then, he pointed at Zhao Yun with a sullen face and shouted: "Holy King Death Guard! Give it to me. kill… "
"General Zhao panic! I will help in the future." Before Yang Huai's words were finished, suddenly, a loud shout came from the west of Quzhou City, directly interrupting Yang Huai's order.
Yang Huai looked up and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that the formerly defeated Xia family army was now slowly reunited with the army formation here under the guidance of the war drum, and it was on the westernmost side of the city wall of Quzhou. In the dark night, a figure is slowly emerging from the darkness. Yang Huai's eyesight is not bad. He can clearly see that a soldier wearing a black armor, although this black suit is somewhat inconspicuous in the dark, but the bright sword in the hands of the general is around. The torch is very eye-catching.
Yang Huai knew at a glance that this would definitely be Song Army reinforcements. It's just that the distance is too far, and Yang Huai can't see how sacred the other party is, but it's too trivial to want to come and rescue Zhao Yun just by himself. Yang Huai thought so in his heart, but the Song Army general rode a war horse and quickly slammed into the Xia Family Army’s formation. Holding the big sword in his hand, he waved it at the Xia Army general and cut off the heads of several Xia Family generals with a single knife. I heard the warlord shout: "General Zhao. Zhang Rong is here too."
Zhang Rong, the leader of Liangshan, resisted the Jin Bing after the Jin Bing invasion, and was known for his bravery. Later, the letter king Zhao Zhen rose up and Zhang Rong formed an alliance with him, and later directly took refuge in the letter king Zhao Zhen. Until the letter king Zhao Zhen proclaimed the emperor, Zhao Zhen has been valued. When Song Emperor Zhao Zhen sent Zhao Yun to manage the world to expedition to Qi and Jin, Zhang Rong also set out with the army and became Zhao Yun's right-hand man. After Zhao Yun captured Hebei, Zhang Rong made great contributions and became the third person in the Zhao Yun cavalry army, second only to Zhao Yun, and in charge of the world.
In the past few months, Zhang Rong was ordered by Zhao Yun to guard Shaoxing and Lin'an, the important towns east of Quzhou. Especially since a large number of enemy soldiers were captured, the original prisoners also belonged to Zhang Rong's command. Because of this, although Zhang Rong had a lot of soldiers and horses, Zhao Yun did not expect Zhang Rong's army to come to rescue in time, after all, the distance was too far. What Zhao Yun did not expect was that Zhang Rong was now in front of Zhao Yun, and it was still at this most critical moment.
I saw Zhang Rong alone and riding, but it seemed like a sharp arrow that broke the string, directly penetrating the heavy encirclement of Xia's army, and rushing to the death guards of the holy king who besieged Zhao Yun abruptly. Seeing Zhao Yun surrounded by those Saint King Death Guards, Zhang Rong shouted angrily, and the big knife in his hand swung towards the Saint King Death Guard ahead, and the blade fell heavily on the shield of one of the Saint King Death Guards. , The big shield was split into two halves immediately, and the death guard of the Holy King who was hiding behind the big shield also screamed and fell dead on the spot.
Zhang Rong was able to smash to death a soldier of the Saint King's death guard, not to say that he was more capable than Zhao Yun, but because Zhao Yun was very exhausted after countless battles, while Zhang Rong was fierce. In any case, Zhang Rong was also a general of the Song army, and his sword technique was recognized by the invincible Song Emperor Zhao Zhen. No matter how good this Saint King Death Guard can fight, it is impossible to beat Zhang Rong's angry blow.
In fact, Zhang Rong was also secretly surprised. Just now, Zhang Rong’s original intention was to kill several enemy soldiers, but he never thought that just killing one person would consume so much energy, and he was unable to kill another. people. Zhang Rong put away the broadsword and glanced at the Saint King Death Guard with some surprise, and he also secretly said in his heart that it is no wonder that Zhao Yun would still be trapped here because of his skill.
However, Zhang Rong did not continue to be in a daze. With his legs clamped, the horse rushed into the Saint King’s Death Guard’s formation. Because of the advantage of the war horse, Zhang Rong rushed directly to the innermost layer in one breath. Before, then the twenty-odd Saint King Death Guards that surrounded Zhao Yun. He saw Zhang Rong flicking the reins and sipping at the mount, which actually drove the mount to leap and flew directly over the head of the death guard in front of the king.
Zhang Rong's move took place very suddenly. Those Saint King Death Guards didn't even react, so Zhang Rong rushed in. At this time, those Saint King Death Guard soldiers raised their spirits one after another, but Zhao Yun couldn't let Zhao Yun run away.
Zhang Rong rushed to Zhao Yun, but was shocked by Zhao Yun's appearance. Zhang Rong had followed Zhao Yun for so many years, but he had never seen Zhao Yun so embarrassed. Immediately, Zhang Rong put his broad sword across his chest and protected him in front of Zhao Yun. He turned his head and asked: "General Zhao! How are you? Is there anything wrong?"
"It's okay." Although the wound on his body was involved and the pain was terribly painful, Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and snorted, and then said to Zhang Rong: "Zhang Rong! How did you get here?" After asking, Zhao Yun simply handed his back to Zhang Rong, turned around, and guarded the holy king's death guards with his spear.
When Zhang Rong saw Zhao Yun's appearance, he knew that Zhao Yun had nothing to do with him, so he grinned immediately. He turned his head and looked at the surrounding Saint King Death Guards, with a hint of chill in his eyes, and shouted: "General Zhao. Don't mention this for now, let's deal with these rats first."
Zhang Rong’s words also made Zhao Yun turn his attention back to the battle, watching the Saint King’s Death Guard that was slowly approaching around him, Zhao Yun also used this rare and precious free time to gather the remaining physical strength in his body and prepare to fight to death. war. Although Zhang Rong came to help, after all, there were only two people. In the face of the opposing army, this battle was still difficult to fight.
Yang Huai was a little anxious at the moment, his previous calmness was slowly being polished, and Yang Huai's temperament was gradually revealed. Zhao Yun was Yang Huai's big enemy. In the face of Zhao Yun, Yang Huai was able to remain calm before it was commendable, but Zhao Yun turned his despair over and over again and again, and Yang Huai's pitiful patience was almost consumed. Immediately Yang Huai began to breathe heavily, and he shouted with a sullen face, "Why are you waiting there? They are just two people. Line up and kill me! Get all of them on me and kill them."
