Chapter 635: Approaching Tongzhou

It has started to snow in Jiangbei, but on the south side of Jiangnan, Jingzhou, which is leaning against Cangjiang, only has scattered light snow. However, Jiangzhou, which is connected to Jingzhou, has just begun to get colder. The sun has become a little pale and powerless, and there is a cold wind yelling. But what is even colder than the weather is the heart of Xue Chengyi, the general of the Dayue Asuka Kingdom.

Xue Chengyi, who was commanding 100,000 troops, was only hundreds of people left around him. The group was in a very embarrassing manner, galloping wildly, fleeing all the way to Tongzhou.

A hundred thousand troops are gone!

Originally, he was proud of his rebel general who was in trouble with Dayue, and Su Can was trapped in Yi'an under the joint attack of the two auxiliary generals Xue Chengyi and Cheng Qun of Dayue. He was about to be wiped out by them and defeated the main force of the rebels. The fourth prince Li Xiao could no longer make a big wave. At most, he could be in Jiangnan for a few years and then to ashes under the powerful attack of Dayue's center.

However, this infinite longing was ruthlessly destroyed in a series of things that were like a bolt from the blue to him. Su Can Group, which should have been annihilated by Cheng Qun in Yuzhou, appeared beside him. The Congliang Group, which suffered heavy losses, suddenly became lively, and the one who caused a fatal blow to him was Cheng Qun's troops. The sudden counterattack was the most deadly.

Cheng Qun and Su Can congregate two groups, combined with more than 300,000 troops, completed the interlude, detour and surround Xue Chengyi in Jiangzhou. When they launched the final attack, Xue Chengyi, who was awakened by dreams, was powerless to turn the world back. The last more than 10,000 elite guards fought back to break through. All they could do was to let Xue Chengyi escape. And only so many of his subordinates were left.

At this moment, Su Can was leading thousands of cavalry to chase after him.

The towering city of Tongzhou City appeared in their sight. Almost everyone breathed a long sigh and finally escaped from the sky. Once they entered the city, they were safe.

On the city of Tongzhou, the guards watched the group of defeated soldiers rolling in as wind. They did not react until they approached the city wall. While they quickly opened the city gate and let them enter the city, they sent people to report to the general Xiao Jingteng, the garrison of Tongzhou, who was the son of Xiao Zhongze, the governor of Tongzhou.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Xue Chengyi immediately climbed to the city tower.

"Close the four gates! Now!" The general of the Assistant Kingdom, covered in blood and muddy face, shouted at the top of his lungs: "The enemy is coming. Close the four gates immediately. All the guards will prepare to climb the city to fight immediately!"

Tongzhou City was immediately in chaos. When Xiao Jingteng rushed to the city wall from the military camp, he saw the busy soldiers closing the heavy gate, while more people were busy moving a crossbow from the hidden military cave in the city and pushing it onto the city wall.

"General!" Xiao Jingteng's face turned pale.

"Jingteng, transfer all your soldiers to the city. Su Can's pursuers will arrive in an hour." He grabbed Xiao Jingteng, and Xue Chengyi lost all the calmness and calmness he used to be. He shouted loudly in a hoarse voice.

"What happened? What happened? Isn't it a big victory ahead?" Xiao Jingteng asked in a lost voice: "How could this happen?"

"Cheng Qun rebelled, he surrendered to Li Xiao, setting a big trap for us!" Xue Chengyi shouted: "Our army is all over, all over! Jingteng. Where is your father, where is your father?"

"My father is still in the government office. I have sent someone to notify my father." Xiao Jingteng's face was pale. This time, Xue Chengyi took away all the guard troops and elite troops in Tongzhou. At this moment, Tongzhou City was empty, with only more than 20,000 people.

In the prefectural office, Xiao Zhongze fell on the big chair with a loud bang and almost fainted. From a great victory to a great defeat, in a flash, from heaven to hell, Xue Chengyi's 100,000 troops were destroyed, and Tongzhou was almost like opening the door to the rebels.

Su Can conquered Liang with 200,000 troops, while Cheng Qun also had 200,000 troops. 400,000 troops came, asking Tongzhou how to resist, and do you block the chariot with your mantis arm?

There was a silence like death in the government office. All the government office staff were shocked by the sudden blow. No one could take any attention. Xiao Zhongze raised his head and looked at the faces of everyone, with a wry smile on his face. Now he could not count on them.

"Where is General Xue now?" he asked.

"General Xue and Major General are now setting up city defense!" The man who came to report the news said.

"Let's go, take me to see General Xue!"

In Tongzhou City, all the troops in Xiao Jingteng were rushing from the major military camps in the city and running towards the city. Looking at the appearance of these soldiers, Xiao Zhongze was even heavier. He could see a hint of fighting spirit from their faces, and he could only see Zhang panic and loss.

When they stepped onto the city tower and saw Xue Chengyi, they looked at each other speechlessly.

"Cheng Qun's country is ruined!" After a while, Xiao Zhongze spoke out a few words. When Cheng Qun's army set out to pass through Tongzhou, Xiao Zhongze had placed wine for his strong journey. Unexpectedly, a few years later, the other party was coming back as an enemy.

"The enemy is coming!" A soldier screamed in surprise on the top of the city.

Xiao Zhongze and Xue Chengyi stood up, walked to the edge of the city tower, and looked into the distance. At the end of their vision, smoke and dust rose up, swelling up the sky.

"It was the thousands of cavalry troops led by Su Can, who followed us all the way." Xue Chengyi punched the battlements of the city walls, "These thieves will be punished by God!"

"General Xue, what should I do now? When the troops are at the city, I am just a civil servant. You have to make a decision. Otherwise, we will be killed by him before he is punished by God! Look at these soldiers, can you expect them to defend the city?" Xiao Zhongze pointed at the soldiers who fought on the city.

"Mr. Xiao, you should immediately prepare a book and ask Your Majesty for emergency. Please send reinforcements immediately. If you cannot save Tongzhou, you must also defend Weizhou. Don't worry, although there are only 20,000 soldiers with insufficient combat power, it is not easy for them to break through with a towering city like Tongzhou. I will do it."

"Okay, when I came to the urgent letter, the staff were already drafting it, but General Xue, you just need to give His Majesty a memorial to explain the situation!"

"I can." Xue Chengyi's face instantly turned from white to red, and then from red to white, "Mr. Xiao, how much silver is there in your treasury?"

"There are the silver for your army there, and the silver for rewarding soldiers issued by the imperial court in the Jiangzhou victory. There are as many as millions. There is no shortage of silver, but what's the use now?" Xiao Zhong thought about the silver for the silver for rewarding soldiers in the mansion warehouse, and felt extremely ironic.

"Very good, Lord Xiao, please send someone to bring me 500,000 taels to the city immediately. I will use these silver to brave these cowardly soldiers." Xue Chengyi said: "There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!"

The white silver ingots were quickly moved to the city tower. Xue Chengyi drew out his knife and split a box, and the neat silver ingots inside flowed down. "Split them all!" waving the sword, Xue Chengyi roared. His personal soldiers rushed up, and the light of the sword flashed, one by one, and the white silver ingots were split like a mountain.

The soldiers on the city were stunned by the mountains of silver on the city tower. Looking at the silver, a little bit of magic finally flashed in everyone's eyes.

"Defend Tongzhou, these silver liang are yours." Xue Chengyi jumped onto the wall and shouted loudly: "Kill an enemy, reward ten taels of silver, kill an enemy officer, reward fifty taels of silver."

Su Can was full of energy. In the battle of Yi'an, Jiangzhou, he wiped out Xue Chengyi's troops, wiped out more than 30,000 people, injured and captured more than 50,000 people, and the others were defeated and fled in scattered ways. He led 5,000 cavalry as prophets, chasing Xue Chengyi all the way, and arrived in Tongzhou. Looking at the flags flying above Tongzhou, Su Can felt extremely happy.

"I, Su Can, are back!" He roared, and drove the horses to rush towards Tongzhou City. Behind him, the five thousand cavalrymen made a shocking cry, following Su Can, like a long dragon, rushing towards him.

Looking at the power of the rebels, bursts of exclamations sounded from the city. The morale that had just been bulging by the silver liang was instantly dispersed by the opponent's surging momentum. Someone actually threw away his weapons in panic, turned around and fled to the city.

Xue Chengyi's face changed drastically. He winked at Chen Fengxiao beside him. Chen Fengxiao pulled out his sword and rushed down the city tower like a wind. As the sword light flashed, several soldiers who had lost their weapons and fled in an instant were different. Chen Fengxiao stood in a pool of blood all over the ground, with a hideous face: "Those who retreat without fighting will kill Wuhe!"

"Those who are not effective in fighting will kill Wuhe!"

The blood dripped across the soldiers. Looking at the soldiers in different places, everyone was silent. On the city tower, Xue Chengyi pushed a bunch of silver down with force, "Fight bravely, reward, shrink back, and kill!"

Blood and silver formed a shocking picture. Xiao Jingteng stood up at the right time, "For His Majesty, for the sake of the city, we will fight to the end!"

The soldiers on the city were finally aroused blood. First, there were sparse responses, and then, the responses became louder and louder, and finally formed a huge shout.

The shouts on the city made Su Can, who was under the city, look at him. Of course, he could not have attacked the city. He originally thought that the city should be dead and panicked at this time, but it seemed that Xue Chengyi still effectively organized the resistance force. He smiled coldly. The Fourth Master's method was not just that. He rode his horse along the city wall, and five thousand cavalry followed him, rolling up smoke along the Tongzhou city wall, beyond the range of the crossbow. After a roundabout, Su Can led his troops to go away.

Looking at the cavalry gradually moving away, the soldiers on the city cheered, but Xiao Zhongze, Xue Chengyi and others did not have any joy for Su Can's departure. The other party was just a demonstration. When their large groups of people gathered together, the real beginning of the war in Tongzhou was.
