Chapter 228 The first battle was defeated
Gao Chong and Yang Zaixing quickly arrived at the Sour Zaomen Sect and saw Li Gang personally organizing the army to maintain order and sort out the people.
"Mr. Li, why do you need to open the door? There must be fine works by the Jin people here, and their army has been dispatched, so hurry up and let the people enter through other city gates."
Li Gang's voice was hoarse, and he was a little regretful. Who knew that they were so disobeying the command, but they could not stop it. He hurriedly said: "I have ordered the Dragon Guard in front of the Palace and the 20,000 imperial guards of the Divine Guard to go out to intercept the enemy. As long as they stop the enemy, we can appease these people."
Gao Chong looked outside the city and found that a strong army had rushed out of the city and killed only the Jin soldiers behind him.
The Dragon Guard and the Divine Guard are the second of the four most powerful imperial guards. The soldiers they recruited are all five feet and eight inches, so these people look very tall and mighty.
Gao Chong frowned and said, "Sir, I ask the commander soldiers to go out of the city to help the Long Guard, the two troops of the Shenwei fight against the Jin people."
Li Gang said with great relief: "I heard that Gao Chong is the top martial arts scholar and is also known as the world's number one shot. It is the time to show your courage."
Gao Chong received the order, then returned to his Huayang army, summoned everyone, left Fengqiu Gate, and accompanied them with 1,000 imperial guards from Yang Zaixing and Luo Yanqing.
The two commanders of the Palace Front Office were Zhang Zhong and Fang Tiesheng, who were led by the Dragon Guard and the God Guard. Zhang Zhong was born in Kaifeng, and Zhang Tiesheng was a Jinshi and later transferred to the Palace Front Office to serve.
Both of them are now in their 50s, but they are both loyal and rushed towards the Jin army behind them with their army.
The Jin army did not take them seriously at all, but Wanyan Chang led 10,000 troops from the headquarters to fight.
"It's so crazy!" The two old handsome men screamed and killed Wanyan Chang. Only after they did they realize that this was not good. The Jin army was extremely powerful, and they were surprised by the horsemanship, and they were fearless. They danced maces and rushed back and forth between the Song army as if they had entered a no-man's realm.
"Dangdang!" Zhang Zhong's big sword and the enemy's mace fought hard for a few times and couldn't hold it anymore. He had no choice but to urge the horse to avoid it.
It was so easy to avoid in the melee of the army? He had just avoided this side when another mace whistled over.
Zhang Zhong had no way to raise his knife again, so he heard a sound of deception and his big sword flew out. The stick did not diminish and hit his waist in an instant.
"Puu!" Zhang Zhong turned over and fell off the horse. Thanks to the strong armor of the commander, he escaped his life.
"Kill!" A Jin soldier suddenly rode his horse and stepped on Zhang Zhong. Zhang Zhong was unable to move in his armor. Seeing that the big horse's hooves fell down, he lamented that my life was over, and he closed his eyes and waited for death.
"You dare to be a golden dog!" He heard a loud roar, and a black horse rushed over, and immediately sat upright with a big man, with two steel whips in his hand swept across with a whimper.
"Bang!" The war horse was hit by a stick, and the skull was shattered. A staggered and the Jin soldiers on his body flipped out.
"Ah--" There was a burst of exclamation around him, Who is this guy? There are really powerful generals in the Song army!
The man was 6 feet tall, with an iron head that soared into the sky, locked a golden matte forehead, a seven-star nailed soap robe, a black oil paired with armor, and rode a snow black horse, and used two water-milled octagonal steel whips.
He jumped off the horse with a bang, helped Zhang Zhong to his black horse and said, "Sir, I guarantee you to fight out."
"Hu Yanzhuo, don't care about me, kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!" Zhang Zhong shouted. At this time, a Jin soldier rushed up and smashed the stick.
Hu Yanzhuo quickly passed the big stick with his eyes and hands. He jumped up and smashed the enemy off the war horse with a whip, then jumped up and said, "Sir, don't panic, follow me to kill!"
Hu Yanzhuo took Zhang Zhong over and ran out. Wanyan Chang slapped his horse and blocked their way and shouted, "Since you are here, do you still want to leave? Look at what is in my hand?"
Ma Zhong and Hu Yanzhuo looked closely and saw that he was carrying the head of Zhang Tiesheng, the commander of the Divine Guard Army. Ma Zhong felt sad from his heart and glanced secretly, and found that his 20,000 army had been divided and surrounded by the Jin army. Now there were countless casualties and injuries, and even Zhang Tiesheng was killed by the enemy.
Zhang Zhong's eyes turned dark and almost fell off his horse. "I was ordered by the emperor to come to rescue the people. Now that the army is gone, how can I live alone? Hu Yanzhuo, I am willing to fight with me!"
"Don't worry, sir, it is my duty to be loyal to the country. Who would I like to kill the thief?"
Zhang Zhong was overjoyed, pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Kill the thief! Crash!" As he said that, he rushed to Wanyan Chang with Hu Yanzhuo.
Wanyan Chang snorted coldly, and the big sword in his hand flew up and down to fight Hu Yanzhuo to meet a chess opponent. Although Zhang Zhong fought desperately, his martial arts skills were limited and his physical strength was not enough, and he was killed by the Jin soldiers.
"Kill!" At this moment, Gao Chong led his men to rush up. He took the lead in his big gun. The big gun in his hand trembled and stabbed two Jin soldiers and broke into the enemy formation.
Behind him was Yang Zaixing and Luo Yanqing, the two powerful generals, expanded the gap for him; the Huayang army stabbed him like a wedge.
Gao Chong took the lead, and they rushed wherever there were too many people there. The Jin soldiers could not stop their impact and were suddenly dispersed. Gao Chong took the opportunity to gather the surrounding imperial guards, and the number of people increased.
"Damn!" Gao Chong shot away a Jin soldier who was about to hurt Zhang Zhong and shouted at Zhang Zhong: "Don't be in love with the battle, return to his position!"
Zhang Zhong felt that Gao Chong was a god of the battlefield. Although his official position was far better than him, he still obediently urged his horse to enter his queue.
Gao Chong suddenly urged the war horse to go straight to Wanyan Chang and rushed forward. The big gun in his hand was pricked in his chest without saying anything. When Wanyan Chang heard that the wind was not good, he knew it was not good, so he raised his sword to respond.
"Damn!" There was a loud noise. Although Wanyan Chang blocked Gao Chong's shot, he was shocked and shook three times.
Gao Chong rushed over with one horse. Yang Zaixing's flower gun behind him shook, like thousands of pear trees blooming, and rushed straight to Wanyan Chang and stabbed him.
Wanyan Chang was shocked and quickly danced his sword to resist. He heard a fierce collision. Wanyan Chang yelled and was shot on the shoulder. He covered his shoulder and left in a panic.
"Your martial arts skills are good! Come and follow!" Gao Chong glanced at Hu Yanzhuo, called out and urged the horse to leave.
Hu Yanzhuo was also stunned for a moment, but he still urged the war horses to chase after him. They swept past the golden formation like a giant dragon, and then headed towards Fengqiu Gate.
Seeing the military formation out, Gao Chong saw that his back team was bitten by the enemy, and a team of Song troops could not escape. Did he ask Liu Ziyi to take his men to retreat to Kaifeng first? He and Yang Zaixing, Hu Yanzhuo and a few people went back to kill him.
They killed the intercepted Jin soldiers, rescued their outdated soldiers, and then rushed to the city gate again.
Jin Wushu saw Gao Chong galloping in his army and asked for help. He was so angry that he screamed and brought Wanyan to the death.
Gao Chong and others arrived at Kaifeng City to open the formation. Liu Ziyi in the city had ordered the army to pull the bow and arrow to provide support.
Seeing that the Jin soldiers arrived at the city, arrows were like rain on them, shooting them back; Gao Chong and others calmly returned to the city.
After returning, he checked the army and found that the two imperial guards, Long Guard and Shen Guard, had been killed thousands of people. In addition, some surrendered and some people fled, and only 2,000 people came back. Even Zhang Tiesheng, the commander of the Shen Guard, was beheaded by Wanyan Chang.
If the Huayang Army hadn't attacked, perhaps the strongest troops of these two imperial guards would have been wiped out by the Jin people at once.
The failure of the two imperial guards of the Dragon Guard and the Divine Guard made Kaifeng covered with a thick dark cloud, and the city was panicked. Coupled with the rumors from spies, many people were about to rush out of Kaifeng to escape.
Zhao Huan was also scattered after hearing this. Because the young soldiers of the Jin Kingdom only surrounded the two northwest areas and occasionally went to the northeast corner to move, and there was no war in the south gate; so he took his wife and children and had to escape.
Li Gang knew about this matter, and he quickly ran over to intercept Zhao Huan and said, "The Emperor of Daojun gave the clan society to His Majesty, but you plan to abandon it. Is this appropriate?" Zhao Huan silently refused.
Prime Minister Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan also came over. They said that the capital could not be defended, so they could only avoid it.
Li Gang retorted in anger: "Which city in the world can be as strong as the capital? Moreover, the ancestral temple, country, officials, and all people are here, how can they be discarded? For the sake of the present, we should rectify the army and horses, unite the army and the people, stick to the capital, and wait for the army to serve the king."
Zhao Huan asked: "Who can serve as the commander and command the anti-Jin?" Li Gang replied: "Although Li Bangyan was not familiar with military affairs in Bai Shizhong, it was their duty as prime minister to comfort the soldiers and resist the Jin soldiers."
Bai Shizhong was so scared that he almost fainted. How dare he fight against the Jin soldiers? Li Gang is trying to harm me! Thinking of this, he said angrily: "Can you Li Gang lead your troops to fight?"
Li Gang was leaning back as he was waiting for his words, and immediately said firmly: "Your Majesty does not mind my cowardice and incompetence. Let me be responsible for military affairs. I am willing to repay you with death!" So Zhao Huan appointed Li Gang as the one who stayed in Tokyo, responsible for defending Tokyo and resisting the Jin army.
At this moment, he waited to come and urged that the queen was ready to leave Kaifeng. When Song Qinzong Zhao Huan heard this, his face changed and hurriedly left his seat and said, "I can't stay here. Please don't keep me. I want to set off with the queen."
Li Gang knelt down, crying and kowtowing, trying to keep Zhao Huan for his death. Zhao Huan's heart calmed down a little. He said to Li Gang: "I accept your request to stay now. You are fully responsible for the matter of governing the army and defending the enemy. You must not be negligent."
