The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

"Rush, kill!" The thieves poured into the city like a tide.

At this moment, the sound of the zither at the head of the city changed suddenly, from a hundred birds facing the phoenix to an ambush on all sides.

The sound was like big pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate, or like rain hitting plantains.

Like weeping like complaining, like quietness like swallowing, like a pillar of heaven collapsing, the sky is sinking, and the edge of the blade is dark.

Another example is howling in the ten lands, crying of ghosts and demons, and the anger of humans and gods.

I don't know how many soldiers were put into the city, but suddenly there was a loud "bang" sound, and the heavy gate of Dongtai Gate fell suddenly, and the bandit army who was walking under the gate was immediately crushed into a bloody mess, resembling a meatloaf. .

At this moment, the imperial guards hiding under the walls of the city straightened up, rolled logs, stones, gray bottles and earthen tiles, and threw them outward with all their strength.

All kinds of strong bows and crossbows, flying cannons and stone throwing, all greeted outside the city. In just a short moment, the future and the influx of bandit troops under the city were killed and injured countless, and the corpses piled up to a foot, spread straight to the bank of the moat.

The thieves on the other side of the moat suddenly panicked, and a total of 20 to [-] of the [-] troops entered the city. The most important thing is that Sheng Gong and Wang Gong Laofo also entered, and most of the generals also entered!

Under the leadership of the remaining generals, they desperately carried the siege equipment and rushed towards the moat, and the entire suspension bridge was crowded.

Although the suspension bridge is wide and comfortable, but it is too close to the top of the city, at this moment it becomes the target of flying cannons.

The large pieces of bluestone fell on the suspension bridge as if it was raining. Even if the various military materials in Hangzhou City are good enough, the suspension bridge is made of iron cables and thick wood, but how can it withstand such a heavy blow, and it is full of people. manpower.

I only heard the sound of "creak, creak", and then there was a loud "click", the suspension bridge broke into several sections, and fell directly into the water, and all the bandits and luggage on the bridge fell into Hanoi. The running water is not like some big cities in the north dug out. It is not only deep but also has ups and downs. Once you fall into it, it doesn’t matter whether you know the water or not.

On the top of the city, ballistas, bows and arrows, and flying cannons were fought for free. This kind of fierce counterattack under the defense has never been encountered by the bandit army since the uprising, even when they attacked Suzhou.

Although Suzhou is as big as Hangzhou and has a lot of reserves, it is taking a steady and steady approach. Even after the arrival of Tong Guan's reinforcements, it has never attacked so ferociously.

At this moment, the city of Hangzhou seems to be going crazy. The eight-ox crossbow that can be destroyed by thirty arrows, the thousand-step crossbow that can be damaged by ten arrows, and the flying cannon that can be twisted and cracked by fifty stones are all used. , Specially go to places with a lot of people.

The thieves were immediately stunned. Fang La and the others were obviously ambushed when they entered the city. They must be rescued, but they couldn't move forward at this time. The city is under siege.

Just when the bandits were at a loss, suddenly there were shouts of killing from the rear, and then the hooves of the horses roared, and a cavalry force of nearly ten thousand people pierced in like a sharp knife.

Almost all of the bandit army was followed by infantry, and they were thrown into chaos by two or three cavalry of the Song Army back and forth, causing countless casualties in an instant.

At this time, Chen Kuutong, who was staying in the army, hurriedly issued a military order: "Retreat, retreat three miles!"

Chen Kuutong is a master-level master, but even if the master is in the army, he can't control the general situation. At this moment, he sees that the situation is not good, and he can't fight across the river in a short time, and he is attacked later. If he doesn't withdraw the army, the loss will only increase The more people there are, the morale of the army will also be shaken, so this order was issued.

However, some generals in the army are Fang La's confidantes, even in the Ming Cult, they are also people with authority. Although Chen Kuutong helped Fang La, he did not join the Ming Cult, and he is not the leader of the Ming Cult.

These people didn't want to carry out the military order, they just wanted to cross the river to attack the city and rescue Fang La.

Chen Kuutong couldn't help being furious, his face was gloomy, he didn't think Fang La would have an accident in the city, not to mention Fang La's own extraordinary martial arts skills, but there were long-established masters like Wang Gong Laofo, Deng Yuanjue and Pang Wanchun by his side Such a small master with special means.

More importantly, there were 7 or [-] people who entered the city with Fang La!

How many defenders are there in Hangzhou City?According to Fang Baihua, he was deceived by the other party. In fact, Zhao Tun's army should be less than [-].

There are less than 5 people, and a suspicious formation has been set up in Huzhou. There are so many cavalry ambushing outside the city, how many people are left in the city?Twenty to thirty thousand at most!
Even if there were traps and ambushes, Fang La brought in the elite Holy Army, and he could fight against the Western Army. Even if he lost half of it, the defenders in the city were not invincible, right?
So Chen Kuutong was not that worried, and even had a glimmer of hope that Fang La would turn against the guests in the city and take Hangzhou!

Since he can't attack on his side, and there is a surprise attack from the Song army behind him, the first thing to do is to stabilize the camp, preserve the strength of the army, and reduce losses!
This is not wrong, this is the most sensible and correct way.

But now those generals are not convinced, and they usually obey orders, but now that Fang La is trapped in the city, where he can still hold on, he knows that he is dead, and he will continue to charge forward.

Chen Kuutong was restless, he seldom got angry, and even showed his softness all the time, now seeing that something was wrong, he couldn't help becoming furious!
He is the Grand Master of the Fang La Sacred Dynasty, respected by Fang La as a teacher, and his official position is one of the highest. If Fang La is not around, he naturally has the right to dispatch troops.

At this time, he rode his horse and went straight to the army. Seeing that the leading generals were still shouting, intending to lead the troops across the river to attack the city, he couldn't help but angrily said: "How dare you disobey the military order?"

Several generals were also afraid of him, but they claimed to be members of the Ming Cult, and Chen Kuutong was not a member of the sect, so they complained one after another, saying that they only wanted to save the leader and could not withdraw their troops easily.

Chen Kuutong said a few more words, but the few people just didn't listen, Chen Kuutong was impatient, a gray light cut out from his sleeve, and with just one knife, he chopped off one of the generals directly under the horse, his head flew high, blood Splash three feet.

The rest of the generals were immediately dumbfounded, and Chen Kuutong yelled angrily: "I am in charge of the central army under the Shenggong military order, and anyone who disobeys the military order will be killed!"

These generals were not afraid of death, but they couldn't die like this, and when they heard Chen Kuutong carrying Fang La out, they could only respond with livid faces, turning around and retreating to the rear.

This retreat shook the army's morale. When they entered the city just now, there was a lot of momentum. Many soldiers below knew that Fang La had entered the city and was imprisoned inside. They retreated at this moment, which must have some special thoughts.

The bandit army retreated here, and the Song cavalry behind turned around and charged and killed again. It was Du Po who took the lead. He was wearing a dark cloud day helmet, a dark cloud black light armor, and a black horse on his crotch. Holding a Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand, he seemed to be fighting in and out of the bandit army like half a black tower.

Seeing this situation, Chen Kuutong wanted to ride his horse forward, but the cavalry of the Song army rushed back and forth twice to kill some soldiers, but they fled quickly, billowing up smoke and dust, like a bandit killing a family, not at all. If you hesitate, move away.

Chen Kuutong was helpless, he was a great master, but he was not a commander in command, let alone a master of war art. Although he could lead troops, he was able to ensure that the army would not be chaotic, obeying orders, and dealing with emergencies on the battlefield. The situation is not even as good as some of the lieutenants below.

At this moment, he can only be cautious and slowly withdraw towards the distance...

It is said that in the city of Hangzhou, following the order of Zhao Tun, the thousand-jin gate landed with a "boom", and the soldiers in the gate building then broke the gate cable. Even if the gate tower fell, the giant gate could not be opened again.

When such a thing happened suddenly, the bandit rear army immediately reported it. Fang La couldn't help being stunned when he heard about it, and hurriedly looked at General Lu beside him.

Lu Jiang's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Sheng Gong, there may be an ambush!"

Fang La frowned and said, "Isn't it an empty city plan?"

Lu Jiang said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, this Zhao Tun is cunning, and has a lot of shammadhi, I don't think I'm in a hurry to open other city gates, first catch this person and then talk!"

Fang La said: "But all the stairs on both sides of the city were blocked by him. This time, the soldiers entered the city urgently and did not bring siege equipment. The soldiers couldn't climb up at all."

General Lu was slightly silent. He is a frail scholar, so naturally it is impossible for him to go up the steep wall.

But he wanted to say that ordinary soldiers can't climb up, but people with high martial arts skills can always go up, right?
Not to mention grand masters like Wang Gong and Lao Buddha, but also junior masters like Deng Yuanjue and Pang Wanchun, if you think of a way, you can also go up there, right?
Shoot people and horses, capture thieves and capture kings.

General Lu didn't know what Fang La was thinking if he didn't arrest Song Wang Zhao Tong first after entering the city, but rushed to open several other city gates!

After entering the city, he reminded him, but Fang La saw that the passages on both sides of the city gate were blocked, and the soldiers could not enter the city from these two sides, so he ordered to break through the other city gates first.

But at this moment, the Qianjin gate fell down at the back. Obviously, Hangzhou is not as simple as an empty city, there must be an ambush, so we can't go too deep, we still have to catch Zhao Tun first, but Fang La still says he can't climb up!
Fang La saw that General Lu was silent, and said: "Our holy army has many soldiers and high morale. How many soldiers can there be in Hangzhou City? The military commanders don't need to worry!"

General Lu said: "Shenggong, I feel that we still have to catch the bird king Zhao Tuo, and at worst... we must first reopen the city gates behind!"

Fang La nodded and said, "Opening the city gate is the right thing to do, where is Deng Yuanjue..."

After he finished speaking, Pang Wanchun suddenly said beside him: "What's the smell? Why is it a bit pungent?"

Over there Deng Yuanjue rode over and asked, "Sheng Gong, what do you want?"

A little doubt appeared on Fang La's face, and he also smelled a strange smell floating in the air, so he ignored Deng Yuanjue, but looked at Pang Wanchun and said, "It seems...the smell of lacquer?"

Deng Yuanjue took a deep breath at this moment, and shouted: "Shenggong, it does taste a bit like Qiyuan!"

Pang Wanchun said: "Could it be that after Zhao Tun entered the city, he still celebrated, decorated the shops and trees with lanterns and festoons?"

Deng Yuanjue said: "I just saw that the bird king looked like a greasy head and flour noodles in the city. He probably married two concubines in the city. That's why he celebrated. He painted the streets and houses."

Fang La said coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about, Deng Yuanjue, take someone to open the gate of the city gate, and continue to let the holy army in."

Deng Yuanjue responded, took a sentry and turned around and left.

Although he is a small master, he is born with supernatural power, and the thousand-jin gate is easier to open inside than outside. Of course, there are fewer people. Deng Yuanjue leads 500 people and has weapons. It is still possible to open it forcibly, but how long it takes depends It's hard to say.

As soon as he left, Lu Jiang's expression suddenly changed: "Shenggong, this smell..."

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly there was a sound of killing from all directions, Fang La frowned: "Where are you killing?"

At this moment, countless crossbow arrows protruded from the ridges of the houses on both sides of the street, and a rain of arrows shot down in an instant. Unexpectedly, the soldiers fell down.

Fang La's face was gloomy, and he shouted angrily: "Break the house and open the way, kill those Song soldiers for me!"

General Lu said urgently at this time: "Shenggong, that taste seems to be..."

Fang La didn't allow him to finish his sentence at all, and didn't even hear what he said, so he started dispatching troops to destroy the houses and roads, and kill those archers hidden in the high places.

Under his order, the army immediately dispersed and rushed to both sides.

At this time, General Lu couldn't stand it anymore, pointed his horse's head at Fang La, and shouted loudly with all his strength, "Shenggong, that smells like kerosene!"

Seeing his ferocious expression, Fang La couldn't help being stunned for a while, and said, "What kerosene?"

At this moment, General Lu's face turned pale with anger: "Sheng Gong, the smell of fierce fire oil!"

"Fenghuo oil?" Fang La showed a trace of doubt, wondering what would the taste of fierce fire oil be like?
But just as he was thinking about it, a huge change suddenly occurred!
Suddenly thick black smoke rose from the surrounding houses. The trees and walls were all shot by rockets tied with cloth heads. Even the streets were shot with rockets, and smoke rose from everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, the thick smoke turned into a big fire, no matter the houses, trees, streets and alleys were all ablaze.

The houses on both sides are shops, connected one by one. Although the houses at this time are mostly green bricks and tiles on the outside, many things inside are made of wood, and the pillars and beams are also made of wood, and some houses are built entirely of wood.

At this moment, all the houses were lit up, connected together like fire dragons, with black smoke and flames puffing out, several feet high.

And the road also lit up, and there seemed to be lines of fire buried underground, like fire dragons, connecting with houses and trees, forming a huge sea of ​​flames.

In an instant, this area became a purgatory on earth, with black smoke rolling like a demon god descending into the world, and the flames soaring into the sky as if the sky and the earth were burning, and there were constant howls of ghosts and wolves inside, crying parents and mothers screaming again and again.

This is the main street in the east city of Hangzhou, not to mention the largest street in Hangzhou. Although the shops on both sides are on fire, the trees are on fire, and the ground is like fire worms, there are still places that are not on fire, but...

The black smoke billowed, choking people to death, the soldier couldn't breathe after taking a few puffs, his head was dizzy, his body lost all strength, and he fell to the ground after only a few breaths.

Moreover, the temperature in this area has suddenly risen, like a big fire cage, and it is summer now, and the roasting inside can roast people to death, and there is no need for flames to touch the body.

After a while, countless soldiers lost their lives under the smoke, but the raging fire did not diminish at all, and a gust of wind blew in, making the fire even bigger...
