    Chapter 111: Turning the Sky (9) In the Tanzhou war, neither of the two warring parties expected that it would evolve to such an extent.  In Tanzhou City, large and small fires have started. Black smoke rises into the sky, mixed with the smoke and dust on the battlefield, and shoots straight into the sky.  The screams and cries inside and outside Tanzhou seemed to make the swallow cloud grow bigger and spread throughout the city.  Under such a scene, even the autumn sky in the sky became bleak, struggling to gradually fall towards the west.  Wang Yaksha, the former Yanshan bandit, tried his best to preserve this small paradise in troubled times, but finally experienced this unprecedented disaster after his death.  The Tanzhou army and horses in the city were completely in chaos. Whether they belonged to the mutiny side or Wang Yaksha's inner circle, they were all in chaos, burning and looting in Tanzhou city.  There were figures running around everywhere, and more flames rose with their movements. On the streets of Tanzhou, the civilians and refugees were also running around, crying and running around like headless flies, but where were they?  , can encounter these rebel soldiers who have mostly lost control.  The corpses of common people were everywhere on the road, and there were even women with torn clothes, who were carried away by these rebels laughing wildly.  All four gates of Tanzhou have been opened, and there are crowds of people leaving across the city everywhere. However, except for the city gate where the battle is taking place, every city gate is blocked by rioters. As long as the fleeing people and refugees bump into this place, the man can't help but break up.  A weapon was applied to the body, and then the soft belongings on the body were rummaged through. The woman snatched them away by the hair, throwing the old and ugly ones into the trench, and the young ones aside. They were guarded by swords and guns, waiting for enough looting at any time.  Get out of here and go anywhere.  In addition to the people being robbed, these rebels also attacked and killed each other.  If a small group of rebels holding the city gate loots too much or holds the gate for too long, another group of jealous rebels will always rush up to get a piece of the pie, or simply drive them away from the city gate.  Walk.  Both sides were eager to grab such a good position. It was a fight at every turn. The loser left a few corpses and rushed into the city screaming and cursing to see if there was anything worth burning and looting. The winner stayed behind.  Here, more ruthless methods are used to deal with these fleeing people.  Until they were driven away by new rebels.  In the large county of Tanzhou, coupled with the scattered people, Wang Yaksha tried his best to keep the people of Yan living there, probably not more than 50,000 to 60,000.  At this time, when the city was being burned, looted, and looted, there were also dense crowds of people rushing towards the city gate. Seeing the city gate turned into such a Shura scene, many people climbed up the city wall and jumped down with their eyes closed!  Those who were lucky enough to survive had to cross the ditch. Inside the wide and deep moat, there were piles of corpses on the stakes. The ditch was filled with water and had turned red. The dying people were still crying and struggling.  ??Every person who was involved could not understand why Tanzhou, which was originally a place to avoid Qin, turned into this in just one day!  The war is also still unfolding at the city gate in Tanzhou where too much blood has been shed by both sides.  Several mutiny generals still have seven to eight hundred dead soldiers and horses in their hands.  Dong Dalang gathered his cavalry and infantry troops and routed them, leaving five or six hundred men and horses.  If it were to be a plain battle, with Dong Dalang's cavalry having been lost by almost half, even with the addition of Tanzhou rebels, they might not be able to withstand the impact of the intact cavalry led by Ma Kuo.  But now, the hundreds of Song Jingqi led by Ma Kuo have lost the space to attack, and they are approaching the limit after many battles. They are trying their best to support. The battlefield is so small, and the two sides have reached a stalemate for a while.  , attacking each other at Beichengguan in Tanzhou, both sides were bleeding slowly, and neither one could defeat the other for a while.  Almost all the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were concentrated near the city gate. Everyone dismounted and relied on the city wall they had controlled to defend.  There were rebels inside the city, and Dong Dalang's remnants outside the city. They attacked each other, hoping to sweep these Song troops out of Tanzhou.  The Song army stayed here. The people on the city used bows, crossbows, stones, and various defensive tools to pour down on both sides of the city wall. From time to time, they would also pick up their weapons and fight with the soldiers who were pouring in along both sides of the city wall.  The soldiers fought fiercely at the top of the city.  At the entrance to the city gate, Dong Dalang's remaining cavalry actually launched three or two attacks. Once, they almost all entered the city gate. Ma Kuo jumped off the city wall, got on his horse, and counterattacked in time with dozens of cavalry.  Only then did they kill them across the trench!  Seeing that it was impossible to enter the city from the outside, and they had to endure the firepower on the city wall, these Dong Dalang soldiers outside the city turned around and entered the city from other city gates, and had a small fight with the rebels at the city gate.  Those rebel soldiers thought that Dong Dalang's cavalry was here to seize this geomantic treasure land, and they tried to stop them, but they were killed and dispersed in the blink of an eye.  These close confidants of Dong Dalang only entered the city to join the battle line, but the infantry, which were assembled by powerful forces from all over the country, joined the battle almost as soon as they entered the city.In the midst of burning and looting.  It can be said that there are very few people who can join the battle.  But with the addition of these Dong Dalang¡¯s confidants, the situation suddenly became different.  These veterans have spent their entire lives fighting, and almost all of them can play the role of grassroots officers. At this time, after fighting until now, they regard it as their last effort for Dong Dalang. The world is so big, they can still go there  where?  Several mutinous generals had seven to eight hundred confidants who died under their command, most of whom were members of their clans. These people could not be defeated.  But in the past, if you could win a battle with the local powerful, you could consider yourself a powerful soldier in the world.  Have you ever seen what this elite soldier in the world looks like?  On the city wall, they attacked and defended the area controlled by the Song army. However, the exhausted Song army was unable to stand and retreated one after another.  Until these old soldiers joined from other city gates, they immediately played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.  They formed these Tanzhou soldiers into a temporary battle formation. The fighting area near the city wall was not very big.  The ones in front used short weapons to fight, while the ones behind used long weapons mixed with bows and crossbows to protect and support them. One wave retreated, and another wave came forward.  The corpses of soldiers from both sides continued to roll down from the city walls.  Dong Dalang led a few dozen cavalry and more than a hundred Tanzhou Army soldiers below the city to control the Song army's expansion into the city.  After fighting for a while, the situation gradually stabilized, and it was still slowly developing towards the gate of the city gate, taking every inch and every inch.  The battle between the two sides was fierce, and they reached another level. The blood kept flowing down the city wall, and was sucked into the soil at the top of the city. By the end of the battle, the top of the city wall was already wet and slippery. From time to time, someone slipped and fell from the top of the city wall.  , as long as you don't fall to death for a moment, you will roll into a ball under the city!  Several spears were snatched out from behind, and several Tanzhou soldiers who were pressing forward were forced to retreat. One of them retreated a little late, and a hole as big as a bowl opened in his chest, and he fell down screaming.  Yu Jiang rushed forward with his shield in hand and pulled up Tang Huai who had fallen to the ground. Several feather arrows flew from behind and landed on the shield.  Yu Jiang ignored him and pulled Ma Kuo back.  Just now, Ma Kuo took the lead and pounced on them, cutting down several people with force, and then pushed an old soldier of Dong Dalang into the city with his shield.  I accidentally slipped and fell heavily.  His physical strength was almost exhausted.  After this fall, it was difficult to get up. The soldiers from Tanzhou saw the advantage and pounced on him, wanting to kill him. If Yu Jiang hadn't come to his aid in time, Ma Kuo would have been in trouble!  Yu Jiangcai dragged Ma Kuo back, and Ma Kuo stood up, trying to find a weapon on the ground and kill him again.  Yu Jiang pulled him hard and shouted loudly: "Ma Xuanzan, take a breath first before going up!" Ma Kuo had been killed so much that he lost his normal perception of the surrounding affairs. He just shouted angrily: "When you get to my side, what about the other side?  "I don't care, but Tanzhou does!" Yu Jiang pointed to the other side of the city wall and shouted at the top of his voice: "Tang Yuhou is here! This round of killing, the opponent is also holding back!"  You have to say something back, Ma Xuanzan, and you should retreat with me and rest!" Ma Kuo looked straight in the direction Yu Jiang was pointing, and then he saw Tang Huai standing on the other side of the city wall, holding his walking bow in his hand, using the bow.  He whipped an old soldier of Dong Dalang off the city wall who was unable to retreat.  The other enemy troops had already retreated a dozen steps, breathing heavily, waiting for the next round of killing.  The officers and soldiers of the Song Army were also exhausted. They picked up the wounded who had fallen on the city wall and dragged them backwards into the archery tower.  Both sides no longer stepped forward to fight, only sporadic feather arrows were passing between each other, and the people were already numb from the killing. No one had the intention to bend down to avoid the attack of such sporadic feather arrows.  Looking down at the city again, Dong Dalang's men and horses attacked the city gate again and were repelled.  Dong Dalang no longer had the fierce aura on the suspension bridge. Tang Huai shot him down with two arrows and fell into the trench. The sharp stakes had hung to pieces in the areas where his armor was not fully protected. There were wounds all over his body.  Wrapped in a dirty shirt.  Now he has also dismounted, sitting on the ground breathing heavily. He no longer orders to pounce on them again, but stares at the Ma Kuai people on the top of the city with wolf-like eyes.  When the two people's eyes met, they both wanted to gnash their teeth and devour each other's blood.  But the war has evolved to this point. Both armies are bruised and exhausted, and neither one can swallow the other.  It can only continue to bleed slowly.  This battle has started in the early morning and continues until the sun is setting above our heads!  Seeing that it was time for both sides to take a breather, Ma Kuo became speechless and was supported by Yu Jiang as he staggered back to the vicinity of the archery tower.  Inside the archery tower, there were all wounded soldiers of the Song Army. A few who were less seriously injured were on guard with various fire prevention equipment prepared on the city wall. If the rockets were fired, they would extinguish the fire as soon as possible.  The wounded soldiers lay scattered on the ground, no one screamed loudly, only low moans.  Seeing Ma Kuo's figure appear, a wounded soldier who could still move tried his best to sit up and asked: "Ma Xuanzan, have our reinforcements arrived? Tanzhou is now"In our hands, we have done it, now it depends on Xiao Xuanzan's reinforcements!"  " Ma Kuo was speechless. He had been waiting for Xiao Yan's arrival from Gubeikou, and from there he waited for Tanzhou! The elite cavalry of the Song Dynasty can not be called loyal and brave. Behind the commander who dared to fight to the death and took the lead, they have always been  There is no turning back until death. I hope Xiao Yan will not let them fight alone! He glanced south and saw the silent Song Army Camp not far away.  No one on either side of the enemy paid attention to the completely empty camp. Only the flag of the Song Army was still flying between the sky and the earth. It seemed that they were the only army under the banner of the Song Dynasty that was still fighting hard!  Yan, Xiao Yan, it¡¯s time for you to come, we have waited too long! In Tanzhou City, fireworks are rising in the sky, there are cries and corpses everywhere, this once peaceful state and county  , completely rotten. Waves of smoke mixed with the smell of corpses hit his face. Ma Kuo was not too sympathetic to the fate of the people of this state. He had seen all kinds of miserable situations since he was a child.  Yes. He is only concerned about the situation of the war at hand. The stalemate between the two sides has become a fait accompli. In a short period of time, neither of the two exhausted troops has the ability to defeat the other side. What can decide the outcome of the battle is whose follow-up reinforcements.  The Jurchen army and horses came first. Everyone knew that it was not far from Tanzhou, but he had no idea how far away Xiao Yan's troops were. He was breathing heavily there, and Yu Jiang was silent next to him.  A water bag was handed over. Ma Kuo was stunned for a moment, then took it, raised his neck and took a sip, then put it down and sighed: "Leave it for the wounded soldier" Before he finished speaking, another thought passed through his mind.  Thoughts that have nothing to do with the war at hand: "Consultant Fang Tengfang, where is he now?  I hope this Bianliangzi will be fine. Even if we die in the city, he can bring news of the bloody battle of this lonely army from Gubeikou to Tanzhou to the Song Dynasty, to Xiao Yan, and to the officials!  " Fang Teng, who was thought of by Ma Kuang, is now riding alone, galloping southward. When the twenty-cavalry Song Army took the lead in grabbing the city gate and delayed until the Ma Kuang team arrived, Fang Teng had already seen it at a glance  In the current situation, with the sacrifice of twenty Song troops, Ma Kuo finally regained time. Otherwise, he could successfully capture Tanzhou, or at least it would be a stalemate! Dong Dalang and Ma Kuo, all their trump cards have now been revealed!  , the rest is nothing more than a bloody battle. In the end, the fate of Tanzhou will be decided by whose follow-up reinforcements arrive first! Since I have no strength, participating in this war is just another burden.  He was heading south to look for reinforcements that were bound to arrive in his calculations, to lure them into the battle as soon as possible and determine the situation in Tanzhou. But when he was galloping in the direction of Tanzhou, he wanted to turn around and look back countless times.  Go back and live and die together with Ma Kuo and the others. The twenty-cavalry Song army faced the solid Tanzhou city wall alone, facing countless Tanzhou defenders, and behind them were the scenes of hundreds of Dong Dalang's iron cavalry coming to fight to the death, again and again.  The thought flashed in his mind: The unhesitating attitude of those soldiers of the Song Dynasty who had always been underestimated and even ridiculed by the scholar-officials of the Song Dynasty deeply shocked him! Is it these scholar-officials who have been supporting the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years?  The soldiers who died silently on the border were supporting Ma Kuo. Fang Teng now fully understood how regretful Ma Kuo was when he left Gubeikou. If reinforcements had not arrived, he would have left them alone for the rest of his life.  , What kind of emotions will you be tormented by? Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, if you are the lucky one, if my calculation is correct, you should show up quickly! He has used all his strength to do his best!  Placed steadily on the horse's back, Fang Teng felt as if his loyal mount, which had followed him all the way from Gubeikou, bumped and undulated. The horse was already covered in sweat and was panting for a long time.  He was jolted out. But he looked around countless times and saw no trace of the army approaching Tanzhou. He had already gone twenty or thirty miles, and the sun was still setting towards the west.  The land of Youyan spread out in the distance, the fields were abandoned, and the dock walls stood in the distance. The fireworks rising from Tanzhou made all the people nearby shrink into the dock walls. The space between heaven and earth was empty, as if he was the only one riding.  That's it. He reined in his mount fiercely, and the horse leapt with a loud hiss before he stood up. He could feel the horse's chest and abdomen rising and falling violently, and the sweat was flowing down its fur like a waterfall. Fang Teng looked at Xi Xian.  The sun turned around and looked back. Tanzhou was as far away as a small black dot, and only clumps of smoke pillars could be seen rising ominously to the sky. There seemed to be shouts of death, following the quiet autumn wind.It floated over vaguely.  If we can¡¯t get the reinforcements here yet, I¡¯m afraid it will be too late!  Jurchen soldiers and horses will never be too far away from Tanzhou.  At this time, they may have approached Tanzhou!  It is conceivable that Ma Kuo and the others have tried their best now. No matter how far the battle in Tanzhou develops, as long as these Jurchen soldiers and horses join, they will be powerless!  Since this is the case, then I might as well go back and live and die with them!  Although I can't operate a sword, I can still pull a Jurchen Tatar to die together, right?  Since the war in the Song Dynasty, there have been soldiers who died for the country, but no scholars.  Starting from the untimely Bianliangzi like myself, can we always wake up some people?  Ma Kuo gave a faint mocking smile and prepared to turn around and go back.  Before leaving, he took one last look to the south, and with just such a look, his whole body froze.  I wanted to control my mind, but I couldn't help it. Big tears fell down desperately.  Fang Teng felt that he had lost his composure in an instant. Some people become harder-hearted between life and death.  However, Fang Teng felt that his sarcastic and cold personality, which he developed during his prosperous years in Bianliang, had gone to nowhere during this journey of life and death!  He wiped his face with his sleeves randomly, trying to calm down, but in the end, he yelled at the top of his lungs: "Xiao Yan, the straight mother-in-law, you are here just now! How did you get here? How did you get here?"  Just arrived! Do you know how many athletes have sacrificed their lives to wait for you to come? They spent their last moments looking south! Damn it, stay safe in the back!  In his sight, he saw flags jumping out from the junction between heaven and earth in the south. First of all, there was a big flag with a big word "Xiao" on it. Even though they were so far apart, Fang Teng could see it at this moment.  Be clear.  Under the banner, countless iron helmets also jumped out of the horizon. Against the backdrop of the smoke and dust they raised, clusters of red helmet tassels fluttered like blood. These knights seemed to pour out endlessly from the south of the horizon.  They were heading straight towards the countless smoke pillars rising from Tanzhou!  Hundreds of solitary forces before and after the district are inside and outside Yanshan, on the top of the Great Wall, on the side of Youyan, near Tanzhou, and it has been supporting it for so long, and finally waited for Xiao Yan!  This is the cavalry army of the Song Dynasty, the whole army is here!  At Qidu Hebei, an army of troops also approached Tanzhou City.  The direction of the wind is exactly north, blowing the jungle-like smoke pillars rising from Tanzhou City to the north. The south wind is mixed with the smell of burning corpses in the city, and the sound of crying all over the city is constantly drifting towards here.  .  The black ash was carried far to the north by the wind, and fell like snow.  It fell on the head of the Jurchen soldiers who were rushing towards Tanzhou in a sloppy queue.  Everyone is looking south and talking a lot.  Behind these Jurchen soldiers and horses, there were also a cavalry force of one or two hundred local strongmen, and behind them there were a variety of infantrymen who were struggling to keep up. The Jurchen cavalry did not run very fast, but these infantrymen worked hard to keep up with them.  superior.  They were the ones who talked the most. Everyone was staring blankly at the fighting at the top of Tanzhou City, looking at the black ash falling on their bodies, listening to the screams and cries coming from far away, as well as the fighting and collision.  Voices.  Keep whispering to each other.  "Which side did Wang Yaksha follow? This town has been in Tanzhou for so many years, but it has made us suffer! Why should we pay for food and grass and take in the refugees? They have not given us any work to farm on the wall!  "Who cares about Wang Yaksha? Anyway, this Tanzhou is no longer Wang. I don't know how many people are burning and looting there. This fortune is huge!" "Tanzhou is fat I'm afraid.  There are tens of thousands of people inside, right? Look, not many can escape! How many wealthy families have taken refuge in Tanzhou City? I heard that the wealth of a single family is greater than that of opening a village!" "  ¡­Don¡¯t talk about these girls who look like flowers from wealthy families After passing by a refugee woman, I also made three or two of them. I was so hungry that I had no meat, and they were dark and dirty. I even grabbed a moldy pancake and penetrated my mother¡¯s vagina when I was doing it.  He gnawed into death and spent three or two months on food to make a living. If he broke through Tanzhou and took one back to warm his bed, it would be ten times better than these women. Even if they got tired of it, they would take it out and change it.  The beans and wheat are worth a dozen or so, there is no way to lose them!" "Pull them down, the city has become like this, Wang Yaksha's soldiers have already made enough money, let alone fight in.  As long as Master Jurchen has taken advantage of it, what else can we get after running for dozens of miles? " "It doesn't make any difference, it's important to get into the city as early as possible!" " These put together infantry!  , in fact, they are all the children of the masters of Wubi from various places, but they are all distant sects.  They are the main force of private soldiers in various places in Yandi.  Among the various separatist regimes, those with many children will beMore force.  In Xiao Yan's time and space, most of the newly affiliated Han armies that emerged in the land of Youyan were strong sects. From this time on, the private Han armies with families as the main force that emerged in the land of Youyan have spread from now on.  For hundreds of years, everyone in Jurchen Mongolia lived like a fish in water, and there were figures like Zhang Hongfan who finally destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty.  Most of these descendants of the distant sect are strong and strong. They only know about the family and not the court, let alone the Song Dynasty or the Jurchen.  None of them have much wealth, but they are not the weakest at the bottom in this troubled world.  Those who are ambitious just want to stand out and can do any kind of fighting and destruction.  In other words, the stoic, crazy, and ambitious Dong Dalang is also an ordinary character. This kind of character can only emerge in the troubled times of Yandi!  These people all turned their attention to the Jurchen soldiers and horses, and even to the three Jurchen Muke who were walking at the front of the team.  Everyone was waiting eagerly for the three Jurchen Muke to give the order to rush into the city and burn, kill and loot!  It doesn¡¯t matter whether they are working for the Song Dynasty or the Jurchens. The property in their waist and the woman in their arms are the most real things!  Ao Duo walked in front of the three people, and among the three, he was the most excited.  He sniffed without moving, and when he looked back, his face was already flushed with excitement, and he laughed and cursed: "Damn it, Dong Dalang did a good job this time! He was able to fight into the city! But these Song troops only have a few hundred riders.  , can also fight in, and can still hold on for a while, which is considered powerful. I am afraid that the two families are eager to bite each other with their teeth This great Tanzhou, Dong Dalang will be in our hands, if this happens!  Dong Dalang is still alive, maybe I can take a look at him!" Lahema also shook his head and pointed at Tanzhou: "Such a big city, the south is really prosperous, it is not much smaller than Zhongjing and Shangjing!  The crenellations of the city wall are still covered with bricks, so much effort has been spent on repairing these turtle shells! Dong Dalang probably relied on internal intelligence to get in, and with his few soldiers, he beat a woman until she gave birth to a baby.  He may not be able to get it. This guy is really familiar in Yandi! Yin Keshu is right to use him!" Zong She still looked the calmest among the three. At this time, he smiled at the two of them: "Yin Keshu is the best.  Didn't we talk less about our actions that day? Oduo, you were open-minded, and Lahema and I also talked about it. Now it seems that Yin Keshu is really a brave and resourceful man among us Jurchens!  Thoughts are indeed used sparingly Now that the two wolves are tired of biting each other, let¡¯s wait for our Jurchen Hai Dongqing to take down Tanzhou in one fell swoop!¡± O Duo laughed, looking very itchy.  : "Zong She, how can you be so steady? I'm not urging you, you are more practical than me, but now is obviously the best time, just rush in!" Zong She also laughed, he, the pioneer Dong Dalang, was  Pioneer, I chose cheap strategies from behind, and the results I got were ten times better than expected.  Dong Dalang's strength was severely damaged from the fight, and his life was still uncertain. He would soon lose such a nasty thing in front of his eyes. The Song army was stronger than imagined, but the entire army would be destroyed in an instant.  Such a crucial city in Tanzhou fell into his hands almost effortlessly.  This time when he went south, his achievements might even surpass Yin Keshu!  Although the Jurchen men were much more honest and simple, they also began to get active with so many local people in their hands.  Yin Keshu originally belonged to the Wendu tribe, but Zongshe was actually a child of the Wanyan family. Why should he be allowed to obey orders under Yin Keshu?  Zong Han is so partial!  Having accomplished such a great feat in the south, maybe he can be on an equal footing with Yin Keshu in front of Zong Han?  "I didn't say we had to wait any longer, Oduo, Lahema, let's compete this time to see who can rush into Tanzhou City first!"  Several impatient Jurchen soldiers immediately blew their horns, and the horns wailed. Behind him, hundreds of Jurchen soldiers immediately cheered in unison, shouting and urging their mounts to move from the scattered team.  They formed a column, followed their respective Muke Puliyan, formed several arrows, and rushed towards Tanzhou where the fireworks were dazzling and the two sides were still fighting to the death. What stood in front of them was only a shallow Qidu River.  !  The sound of the horn sounded, and everyone at the top of the city was shocked. The small groups of troops from the two armies who were still fighting in front unconsciously stopped their weapons and turned around to look north.  This horn sound has been heard countless times in Gubeikou.  He immediately stepped back from the fighting field in front, rushed to the crenellations of the city wall, and looked north.  In his line of sight, he saw hundreds of small black dots dancing in his sight. Three Jurchen banners decorated with white flags appeared at the same time, leading the Jurchen cavalry under their respective banners to cross the Seventh Cross.  Hebei, galloping towards Tanzhou City!  Beside them?, followed by more than a hundred scattered cavalry, needless to say, they were the powerful private soldiers they gathered in Yandi.  Behind these cavalry, there were thousands of infantry, who were shouting wildly, regardless of their formation, spreading their legs and desperately following these Jurchens, running towards Tanzhou City!  The Jurchen warriors in sight were like ups and downs of ferocious steel gods. Everyone was wrapped in double layers of iron armor. The tall horses with long manes from Liaodong and even further north carried them towards the south with long strides.  , under the iron helmet, one can even distinguish a pair of wolf-like eyes.  The sun shines on the armored knight running towards the north of the Youyan Land, reflecting a dazzling light. It seems that at this moment, everything on the top of the city lights up!  The first one to arrive was not Xiao Yan, not the reinforcements from the south of the Song Dynasty, but the Jurchens, the Jurchens!  At this moment, Ma Kuo could not even hold the sword and shield firmly in his hand.  There is only one feeling that emerges in my heart, that is despair!  Ever since he and Yue Fei Fang Teng came north almost alone, when something unexpected happened in the north, they had managed to survive until now with a breath of blood in their chests.  I always thought that a man should never give up until the end, but now, no matter how hard he persists, there is nothing he can do!  With 200 horses, they stayed at Gubeikou for several days. Yue Fei may still be stuck at Gubeikou, blocking the way for the Jurchens to escape. Otherwise, not only these people will arrive in Tanzhou.  He joined forces with Tang Huai and fought a bloody battle in Tanzhou with 400 cavalry. When Dong Dalang and the Tanzhou garrison joined forces inside and outside, he fought desperately to seize the city gate and held on until now, leaving a glimmer of hope for the war in the north of the Song Dynasty.  But when more fierce Jurchen soldiers and horses and more reinforcements join the war, how long can it last?  These loyal and brave men of the Song Dynasty have been fighting hard for too long with the overwhelming enemy forces!  He was lying on the crenel, speechless for a moment, his legs were so weak that he could not support his body.  There was a rattling in my throat, and thousands of thoughts were surging in my heart, but I couldn't say a word.  There were many soldiers around him like him, staring blankly at the scene in front of them.  Next to him, footsteps suddenly sounded, but it was Tang Huai, who was fending off the enemy on the other side of the city wall, pushing through the crowd and striding towards here.  The enemy troops approaching from both sides seemed to be stunned at this time, standing at their respective positions without any movement. The two armies that had been fighting hard at the top of the city froze for a moment when the Jurchen flag suddenly appeared in sight! ?? Stretched out a hand from behind and patted Ma Kuan on the shoulder.  Only then did Ma Kuo wake up. When he looked back, it was Yu Jiang standing behind him.  At this point in the fierce battle, this veteran of the army who had surrendered to the Song Dynasty and experienced countless battles also looked at him sadly.  From the beginning to now, Yu Jiang has followed him closely, covering his back and saving his life countless times in extremely critical situations!  After the first battle, it was almost a matter of life and death.  Ma Kuo twitched his lips and smiled bitterly: "Lao Yu, let's go, maybe Dong Dalang's soldiers still want to take in you old victorious soldiers. I know you don't want to surrender him, Dong Dalang is too vicious  Just fight for your life first, and then you can escape if you get the chance. The world is huge, and with your ability, you can always survive" Yu Jiang smiled and gestured to the brothers around him. There are victorious soldiers and divine warriors who are always victorious.  Everyone in the army was scarred. In addition to the traces of smoke and fire on their faces, they were smeared with their own and the enemy's blood.  Many people had been injured and wounded, their clothes and armor were broken, but they still stood upright on the top of the city and continued to fight to the death.  "We have been fighting together with Xuanzan and these brothers until now. How can Xuanzan say anything to let us leave? I know why Xuanzan is fighting, and we are not fighting with Xuanzan now.  Like Zan, are we all from the Song Dynasty? We brothers have been living in the Yan land and fighting for half our lives, and finally we have a country! Since this family and country has people like Xuan Zan who are worth fighting for,  Then I think we may not be able to give up" Ma Kuo was startled, then turned to look at Tang Huai, who was crowding around him. Tang Huai's expression was still as firm as usual, or rather dull: "  I can't save my brother, but it's normal to fight to the death here We can't surrender the Jurchen Tatars or Dong Dalang! " Ma Kuo said nothing, and his eyes swept over the faces of the soldiers around him one by one. Everyone was like a sculpture.  , maybe there is a look of despair on their faces, but they are still unyielding!  ¡°I don¡¯t know how many emotions were rolling in Ma Kuo¡¯s heart. In the end, he still couldn¡¯t say a word.  He suddenly shouted: "Raise the flag of our Song Dynasty!" After saying that, he walked forward vigorously and went straight to the archery tower. At this moment, all his strength returned to him, and he walked on the city wall like flying.  In the blink of an eye, he had rushed to the iron gate mechanism of the archery tower and slashed it with two knives.  The thick rope wrapped around the mechanism broke with a snapping sound, and then the iron gate inside the city gate crashed down.There was a roar of gold and stone all over the city!  "Let these Jurchen Tatars know that even if we all die in Tanzhou City, the Song Dynasty cannot be insulted. Once they go south, there will be more such good men waiting for them! Just use our lives to  Tell them like this!" Behind him, a Song Army soldier had pulled off the flag of the army horse that had been wrapped around him. He found a wooden pole in front of the archery tower that hung the night light signal. He had already bent over it and asked for the general's flag.  Tie it on!  The Song Army has always focused on formation battles, and each command has its own banner.  They also value these flags the most. In the military formation, strict order and discipline are the priority, and all soldiers must move according to the flags.  There were several battles in the Song Dynasty, in which the entire army was defeated or even destroyed. Needless to say, the battles such as the Gaoliang River and Haoshui River were terrible defeats.  In other battles, anyone in each army who loses his flag will be punished by execution.  Ma Kuo led the main force out of the camp empty-handed, and selected brave men to carry the flag of this Song army.  Don't dare to lose it easily.  Now accompanying Ma Kuo, after hearing his order, the flag of the Song Army was finally hoisted out at the last moment, hunting and dancing at the top of Tanzhou City!  This is the place where the army will die, but it will never retreat!
