Seeing that Shisanlang's troops had broken through several Khitan camps, crossing the river through the ice, approaching the military city, Du Zhongxiao looked up at the rising sun, and said to Shi Quanbin: "After a moment, the entire army was in formation and fought with the Khitan in the valley. Let's sit here and watch the battle at the foot of the mountain."

Shi Quanbin hesitated for a moment and said, "When the two armies fight to the death, how can the commander not come to the battlefield in person?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "According to the previous drills, the battalion commander should not be on the battlefield in person. However, today the incident happened suddenly, so Yang Wenguang and Zhao Zi could only lead the troops themselves without following the old rules. They are old generals and are used to this."

Shi Quanbin said: "If the commander is not here in person, then the morale of the entire army--"

Du Zhongxiao said: "The Yingtianxiang Army has become accustomed to this, so there is no need to worry about the regiment training. In the future, there will be artillery. The general comes forward and is aimed by the enemy. He will be killed in a few shots. How can he fight? Today, Yang Wenguang and Zhao Zi personally went to the battlefield because the Khitan artillery fire was not strong across the opposite side."

"That's right. I can see clearly in the past two days that several Khitan cannons were used to attack the city. Their cannons were not good and they were difficult to move. Yesterday, there was no canal to deal with iron armor. Now there was an accident in the city and it was transported back again."

Du Zhongxiao nodded. What Shi Quanbin said was the normal state of artillery. The Song army had its own guidance. A large group of technical talents insisted on improving for several years to achieve what they are today. The Khitan artillery was learned from the Song Dynasty. The court officials all heard the descriptions. No one had seen the artillery used by the Song Dynasty. Now they thought it was amazing. It was much more convenient to attack cities and villages than before. This time, the attack on Dangxiang was a great victory, and the few artillery in the army made many contributions. When they arrived in Tanglong Town, they met the artillery that the Song army defended the city, and they realized that their artillery was still far from that.

Shaoyao turned around and looked at the foot of the mountain. A team of Song cavalry was covered in cold light and came straight towards the city. When they arrived outside the city, most of them dismounted, held a long axe like a forest, blocking the city gate. The two wings were cavalrymen, holding their feet. On the other side, Yan Yuanwai said: "Mr. Wait, you see that someone from the Song army came to save the city, maybe the city could not be broken. Why don't we wait here and wait until the war is over before returning to the city?"

Mr. Yan: "Aren't you just trying to go back?"

Shaoyao said, "I won't go back to Yu Dujian, and I'm not going to leave Song. When I left, I saw that although General Liu couldn't get up from the ground, he still guarded the city gate. Yu Dujian jumped away from the city. Yu Dujian was gone, why not go back? Is it better to go to Khitan than Tanglong Town? I have heard that Dongshengzhou is even more sinister than Tanglong Town."

Qiaoqiao nodded repeatedly: "What my sister said is that Tanglong Town is not good, but we are just suffering and we have to hide it. This is not the case in Dongshengzhou. They don't even hide it. No one will ask if the master beats the slave to death."

Mr. Yan said: "My business is in the northern border. Since you follow me, don't think about going back. No matter if they fight to death, it's not early to hurry up! After eating my food and wearing my clothes, do you refuse to admit it in a blink of an eye? Don't be too verbose, don't let me drive away with a whip!"

After looking at the few followers of Yan Yuanwai, they were not good-looking faces. Shaoyao and Qiaoqiao had no choice but to continue walking north.

After Liu Huai left, Shaoyao and Qiaoqiao met Yan Yuanwai who had packed up their belongings and left the city. They were considered as their former benefactors. Yan Yuanwai changed the clothes for the two of them, used soup, and asked them to follow him. The life they had lived in the past few years was considered a good person and he followed him out of the city.

Shaoyao still remembers that when he left the city, he saw General Liu who gave him a bun, covered in blood and leaning on a knife. Although there were not many people around him, Yu Jingyang still forced Yu Jingyang to leave the city. Sometimes he thought that maybe such a person looked like Song Jun, not everyone was like Yu Jingyang. But who knows this kind of thing? If a person has been living in the dark night, he doesn’t know what the sunshine looks like.

When Zhou Su heard the newspaper, he hurriedly climbed to the top of the city, saw Shisanlang standing in front of the array with a long axe, and shouted: "Is there a soldier led by the Martial Army leader outside? The last general Zhou Su!"

When Shisanlang heard this, he hurriedly walked to the city, saw Zhou Su's appearance on the top of the city, and whispered: "No, it's me! Where is Liu Huai?"

Zhou Su shook his head: "Military Master, Yu Jingyang in the city is in chaos, and we are blocked in a hurry-"

"Where is Liu Huai?"

"Liu Huai's army led more than ten people to guard the city gate, and was besieged by Yu Jingyang and his personal soldiers. He was seriously injured and had gone—"

Shisanlang was silent for a long time before he said sternly: "How about the city?"

Zhou Su said: "There are still people who cause trouble. There are soldiers in this city and Khitan. We are less than a hundred people, so we have to come to defend the city first. The last general sent ten people to rectify the soldiers in this city, but there is no news yet."

Shisanlang said, "Open the city gate! You are familiar with the more than 100 iron armors from Suizhou here. Let them enter the city and be under your control for the time being. Anyone who does not follow the military orders will be killed without mercy! I am guarding the city here, without your cannons, wouldn't it be the target of the Khitans!"

Zhou Su did not dare to neglect and hurriedly ordered the city to open, and arrived in front of Juro, and sang the promise with his hands.

The situation in the city is very chaotic now, and the soldiers guarding the city are unstable. Without Shisanlang's orders, Zhou Su did not dare to open the city gate rashly when he saw reinforcements coming. He was afraid that another chaos would cause dispersion to disperse the formation outside the city.

Shisanlang looked at Zhou Su, after a while, he suppressed and asked Liu Huai how he was killed, and said, "You bring a hundred iron armor into the city, first suppress the bombs in the city. Those who do not obey military orders will be killed! As long as they settle down, they will not ask about anything else, and don't cause trouble! When the war is over, they will have to make decisions for the military and civilians. Also, guard Liu Huai's body. Let's come north together-"

Speaking of this, he waved his hand and asked Zhou Su to bring more than 100 iron armor from Yingtianxiang Army into the city. With these 100 iron armor, the army city defenders with unstable morale will no longer have any strange thoughts and can defend the city with peace of mind. If the army is stable, the chaos will be quickly calmed down.

Seeing the city gate slowly closed, Shisanlang returned to the front of the formation and said to the imperial guards who were first accused by Jingdu: "The city guard Yu Jingyang suddenly treasoned and surrendered to the enemy, and he jumped off the city wall and fled to the Khitans. The city is very chaotic now, in order to prevent accidents, I ordered the city gate to be closed. Today we will carry the city together, and no matter how many Khitans come, we will kill here! Wu has his life and death with you today!"

The imperial guards sang promises together, with a strong morale and were not affected by the chaos in the city.

These imperial guards were originally despised by Yingtianxiang Army. After leaving Kaifeng Prefecture, they all fought against Shisanlang for various reasons and were conquered by Shisanlang. Although they had been together for a short time, they all recognized Shisanlang and had a smooth military order. Without Shisanlang's ability, these iron-armored cavalry who were temporarily organized into the Yingtianxiang Army would not obey the command of the generals sent by Du Zhongxiao, and the leader could only be theirs.

Seeing that the troops at the foot of the mountain were assembled, Du Zhongxiao was about to order the commander to point in front of the flag, and the entire army attacked. Shi Quanbin suddenly said: "Wait until the system, look at the Khitan side, and send troops to stop us! Also, they organized troops and horses to attack the military city!"
