Chapter 78
It's almost February, the weather is getting warmer, the grass is green again, and all kinds of flowers are blooming in the fields.
Zhang Jun was riding on his horse, not interested in admiring the surrounding scenery, but in a hurry. Mother and son were close to each other, and Zhang Jun couldn't help but worry that his mother had been detained by Yang Tiansong for so many days. People in troubled times always have troubles of one kind or another.
When he was in Tangzhou at that time, Wang Xiaolie ordered to stop, and Zhang Jun understood in his heart. With three thousand soldiers and horses occupying several states, Wang Xiaolie was in a very difficult situation. If he were not careful, he might encounter any powerful army.
Lose your capital at once. And don't over-expand to avoid suspicion from the court. Now that Yang Tiansong has conquered Xinyang, it's different. Wang Xiaolie can send troops to suppress the thieves.
Passed through Tongbai County and passed through Tongbai Mountain. On the sixth day, it was already past noon when Shao Ling and Zhang Jun led the army to the foot of Xinyang Army City.
On the top of the city, some soldiers saw soldiers and horses outside the city. They were startled and reported to Liu Man and Yang Tiansong urgently.
The two of them arrived at the top of the city and watched as some of the soldiers and horses outside the city were arrayed in the city, while most of them were in the nearby mountains, wondering what they were doing.
Liu Mandao: "The soldiers and horses here are probably the king of Ruzhou observing his subordinates. If you leave Ruzhou, how can he let you go?"
Yang Tiansong said: "We have a strong city to defend, so there is no need to be afraid of them! Even if we can't defend it, we can go to Guangzhou. The mountains there are the place where we can use our strength. Wang Kuan's occupation of Xiangyang Prefecture is not comparable to the past.
, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, take shelter for a while."
Liu Man nodded. He looked at the sun in the sky and said, "It's past noon. The soldiers and horses outside the city will not attack the city today. Let's go back first and discuss carefully how to fight them."
Yang Tiansong nodded. The two of them patrolled the city and returned to the Yamen.
Only an hour later, the sound of killing was heard outside. Hundreds of soldiers carried bundles of chopped firewood and filled them into the trenches outside the city. Like a tide, they rushed to the top of the city. They put up newly made ladders on the city wall and worked desperately
Climb up.
Liu Man and Yang Tiansong had just drank a few glasses of wine. When the soldiers came to report that the army outside the city was attacking the city, they didn't believe it. After asking several times, the soldiers convinced them that they believed it. They hurriedly put on their military uniforms and arrived.
Come and see from the top of the city.
When they reached the top of the city and looked outside, Liu Man couldn't help but be frightened and his heart beat wildly.
I saw a general outside, naked, with a long knife in his hand, leading his soldiers towards the city head as if they were dying. The soldiers on the city head kept pushing down the ladder, and the soldiers outside kept pushing the ladder closer. Both sides
entangled together.
Zhang Jun took off his shirt, held a long knife, and hurried to the bottom of the city. He held down the ladder and shouted loudly: "My sons, follow me! The sun is still high at this time, we have broken the city, and we will drink together tonight!"
After saying that, Maitian quickly climbed up with his legs.
When Yang Tiansong saw him on the city, he took a bow from the soldiers nearby. He bent the bow and set an arrow, and shot at Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun grabbed the ladder with one hand and wielded a long knife with the other hand, knocking the arrow away. He suddenly raised his head, looked at the city head and said: "Do you have a man named Yang Tiansong there? This thief came out of Ruzhou and robbed
My mother ran for hundreds of miles! I hate this thief to the core, and I will take his head today! Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed together! If I don’t want to lose my life, I will sacrifice the city as soon as possible!"
Seeing Zhang Junru's bravery, the soldiers in the city were so frightened that they didn't know what to do for a moment.
Outside the city wall, Shao Ling frowned when he saw that the city wall was in a mess. According to his own ideas, the battle was not fought like this. Liu Man and Yang Tiansong did not have many soldiers and were not strong in combat, so they spent a day or two setting up and setting up the battle.
It was not difficult to break through. But Zhang Jun disagreed and insisted on recruiting 300 soldiers to break the city before dark. With no other choice, Shao Ling had no choice but to order his army to cut down trees, fill in the trenches, and make ladders.
It was still early spring, and Zhang Jun was naked, which was an eyesore on the battlefield. But his mother was captured by Yang Tiansong, and Shao Ling couldn't say anything. He could only lead his team and cheer from behind.
Yang Tiansong fired several arrows, but Zhang Jun blocked them with his long sword. The soldiers at the top of the city were a little panicked.
Not long after, Zhang Jun climbed up to the top of the city. He swung the long knife in his hand and jumped up. He said sternly: "Grandpa is here, who dares to stop me!"
After saying that, he slashed the two surrounding soldiers to the ground with a sword. Turning his head, he saw that Yang Tiansong and Liu Man were surrounded by a few people. He raised his long sword and said loudly: "Needless to say, there must be someone over there.
Yang Tiansong is a thief!"
After saying that, he brandished his long sword and rushed towards Yang Tiansong and Liu Man.
Liu Man hurriedly ordered his soldiers to stop him. How could he stop him? Zhang Jun opened his sword and killed him with a sword. In the blink of an eye, five or six people fell to the ground.
The soldiers on the ladder were encouraged, shouted together, and jumped onto the city wall one after another. In less than half an hour, the wall of Xinyang Army was broken.
Seeing Zhang Jun charging straight towards them, Liu Man and Yang Tiansong were terrified. They ordered the soldiers to step forward to stop him and hurried down the city. However, the soldiers were frightened by the momentum of the siege troops and fled one after another.
Outside the city, Shao Ling watched Zhang Jun and his soldiers climb to the top of the city without much effort, and couldn't help but be stunned. Shaking his head, Shao Ling whispered: "Is this a monster? In front of the fierce general, everything
Common sense is useless."
After saying that, he ordered the army to come forward. Waiting for Zhang Jun to open the city gate, the army entered the city.
Zhang Jun fought for a while, then looked up and saw that Liu Man and Yang Tiansong had already run down the city wall. Regardless, they chased after them with their swords in hand.
The soldier next to him said hurriedly: "Commander, open the city gate first!"
Zhang Jun didn't even look back, and said: "You go and open it yourself! If I don't kill Yang Tiansong today, I swear I won't be a human being!"
After saying that, he held the knife alone and followed Liu Man and Yang Tiansong to catch up.
Halfway down the road, Yang Tiansong looked back and saw that the army was not chasing him. There was only Zhang Jun behind him, shirtless, holding a long knife, and chased after him with gritted teeth. Taking a breath, Yang Tiansong said bitterly: "This guy is really
You are not afraid of death, you dare to chase me yourself!"
After saying that, he and Liu Man, together with five or six soldiers, turned around and faced Zhang Jun.
When they arrived, Yang Tiansong pointed a knife at Zhang Jun and said: "Son, my grandpa is Yang Tiansong! These days, your mother and I sleep in the same bed every day. I don't know how loving you are! When we get here, shouldn't you call me daddy!"
"
"You're a thief who really wants to die!" Zhang Jun gritted his teeth and slashed at his head with a knife.
Yang Tiansong ducked to the side, letting his soldiers come forward, and laughed to himself.
Yang Tiansong's soldiers were so frightened by Zhang Jun that their legs were weak. When he stabbed him with a spear, they were limp and powerless. Zhang Jun grabbed him and jerked him to the side. The soldier's legs were unsteady and he was chopped down by Zhang Jun.
On the ground.
Pulling out his sword, Zhang Jun turned around and shouted loudly at the soldier on the other side. The soldier was so frightened that he trembled all over and turned around to run away.
Pointing a knife at Yang Tiansong, Zhang Jun said sternly: "I'm going to skin you today, who dares to stop me?"
After saying that, he looked at everyone with a pair of tiger eyes.
The men of Yang Tiansong and Liu Man were just a mob. When they encountered such a fierce god, they were so frightened that their legs weakened. With a roar, they threw their swords and guns on the ground and fled in all directions. Even Liu Man, regardless of his brotherhood with Yang Tiansong,
He hurried back to the Yamen.
Zhang Jun shouted sharply and slashed at Yang Tiansong with the steel knife in his hand. Yang Tiansong raised his knife to block it. When the two knives intersected, Yang Tiansong felt his hands go numb.
At this time, Zhang Jun advanced instead of retreating. He punched Yang Tiansong in the face with his left hand. With just one punch, he knocked him to the ground.
