After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1290: Outside the City and Inside the City
He Lingchuan collected the two small balls of dirt on the ground, then mounted his horse and changed direction: "Tie him back, someone will naturally decide his life or death."

This pair of stone puppets is not bad, it’s just that Liu Chengshou didn’t use them well.

The pair of meteor chains he had just found were among the spoils he had found in the landfill of the Yuyu Cave. He didn't know whose weapons they were originally. All the other magical functions on them had failed, and only the single throwing function remained. The penetrating power was very strong, and it was a good helper in destroying houses.

Wanqi Feng stepped forward, tied up Liu Chengshou himself, and threw him onto the horse.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves came again, and Dong Rui arrived with several riders.

"What, is that all?" He hurried along, but in the end he still hadn't even had the first bite of the soup?
"You can still catch the next one." He Lingchuan drove past him, and the Yangshan cavalry followed closely. "Let's go to Shizhoutou."

……

Yang Meng led his troops down the mountain. A few blood-red fireworks exploded in the night sky ahead. This was the most ominous signal:
Shi Zhou couldn't hold the weight on his head anymore!
The crowd ignored the rugged mountain road and whipped the horses harder. It was a dark and windy night, and several horses broke their legs on the spot.

After turning the corner of the mountain, we saw chaos outside the city.

The city gate was open, and indeed a foreign army forced its way through.

Yang Meng secretly cursed.

He chased Liu Chengshou too far and was taken advantage of by a third party!

Just now, Yang Meng led the garrison troops to attack Liu Jun’s main camp and won the battle in one fell swoop. The defenders of Liu Cheng had to flee, and his troops either surrendered or dispersed.

Yang Meng then led the main force to pursue Liu Chengshou, leaving only a hundred people to clean up the battlefield and sort out the mess.

This is a normal operation, his total military strength is no more than 500.

Besides, the supplies in Shizhoutou were extremely scarce, and everyone was anxious to move the enemy's military supplies back to the city. They took back what Liu Chengshou had taken from the people of Shizhoutou, which was fine.

When they attacked just now, everyone even deliberately avoided the grain carts and didn't set fire or shoot arrows there.

However, the transportation in the dark was inevitably a bit chaotic. Even the civilians in the city heard that the battle had been won and rushed over to move their things, fearing that they would be picked up by others if they were late. It was not a very pretty scene.

At that time, dozens of people dressed in garrison uniforms and civilian clothes mixed into the transport team and sneaked into the city.

Everyone was moving busy when suddenly a team appeared from the northeast and headed straight for the Shizhoutou city gate!

The soldiers guarding the city gate were very diligent. They discovered anything unusual as soon as they saw it and quickly called on the soldiers and civilians on the road to enter the city. They also closed the city gate in time before the unidentified army arrived.

But dozens of spies lurking in the city suddenly attacked, shot and injured the guards with crossbows, and quickly opened the East Gate!

With the joint efforts from inside and outside, Shizhoutou is about to fall!

The defenders in the city fought hard to fight the enemy, but they were outnumbered and killed in a few strokes.

But they at least delayed the enemy for half a moment.

When Yang Meng returned, what he saw through the doorway was the first fire they set.

"Zhao Guangzhi!" His eyes turned red, "Go back to the city, go back to the city quickly!"

They had fought with the Zhao army before and recognized the enemy's attire at once.

It’s really Zhao Guangzhi who is here!

Fortunately, they returned in time. Zhao Guangzhi's men had just killed the city guards, and before they had time to move the bodies out of the city and close the city gates, Yang Meng's army had already arrived!

Zhao Guangzhi, who had just entered the city, was feeling very proud and was about to let his men plunder to their heart's content, but when he saw something happening behind him, he had no choice but to order his men to block the city gate.

One side wants to go in, while the other side is not allowed to go in, and the two sides are in a stalemate.

Zhao Guangzhi's army had more than 2,500 men, mostly cavalry; Yang Meng had only 300 men behind him, and they ran mostly on their legs. If they fought in an open terrain, this battle would basically be doomed.

Fortunately, the battle took place in a narrow city gate, and both sides had to dismount and fight in hand-to-hand combat.

But even so, the situation on Yang Meng's side is not optimistic.

He hacked down two enemy soldiers, and despite the blood splattering all over his face, he roared at Zhao Guangzhi in the rear of the army again: "Zhao thief, how dare you not challenge me in a duel!"

The last time he challenged Zhao to a fight, the Zhao bandits did not dare to accept.

Zhao Guangzhi was not moved at all. He turned his palm forward and made a "whatever you want" gesture.

He has the advantage in numbers, so even if he fights Yang Meng one-on-one, he will definitely win after a while.

Why would he personally participate in a game that he was sure to win? What's wrong with comfortably watching the other party fight a desperate battle?
Screams, screams, and a woman's cry for help soon came from the streets behind him.

Zhao Guangzhi glanced back and saw that several groups of people could not hold back and rushed into the inner city to rob and loot.

They were very skilled at robbing people in cities, and they knew that it was better to strike first and then take advantage of the opportunity. If they didn't try to be quick, their companions would have snatched away everything first.

The Zhao army blocking the city gate in front heard the noise behind and became itchy.

Damn it, we are fighting to the death here, but those clever guys behind us are going into the city to take advantage of the situation and rob women?
The battle under the city gate was inevitably a little loose.

In particular, Yang Meng's garrison soldiers became extremely anxious when they heard about the chaos in the city, and they killed people without regard for their lives.

Zhao Guangzhi frowned. If the commotion continued, it would shake the army's morale. He must be careful not to end up in a disaster.

He ordered his men, "Call out everyone. Those who don't obey will be beheaded."

The men left upon hearing the order.

After dozens of breaths, the exclamations and screams in the streets not only did not stop, but became more intense and louder.

Zhao Guangzhi was really angry this time, and he grabbed a pair of axes and said:

"Everyone follow me!"

You don't want to listen, right? If a tiger doesn't show its might, these ignorant guys will treat it as a sick cat, right?
Immediately, dozens of personal soldiers followed him and went with him to teach his blind subordinates a lesson.

As for Yang Meng in front, Zhao Guangzhi didn't take him seriously at all.

This kid is quite good at fighting, and he caused me a lot of trouble before, but now he is blocked outside and can't cause any trouble.

After walking for more than ten feet, they entered the streets and alleys, where there was chaos everywhere. The people saw them like sheep encountering hungry tigers, and they screamed and scattered.

Zhao Guangzhi was no stranger to such scenes, so he rode his horse towards where the noise was loudest.

Unexpectedly, three or four Zhao soldiers jumped out from the corner of the street, looking panic-stricken. Seeing him was like seeing their ancestors: "General, help me, there are enemies behind us..."

Before he could finish his words, a flash of light flashed from behind, and the man's head and neck were separated.

Even after his head fell off, his body continued to move forward two steps due to inertia before falling to the ground.

The enemy has sneaked in? Yang is not stupid.

Zhao Guangzhi's face turned cold and he tightened the reins.

The air around them suddenly froze, and in the deep alley the only sound was the sound of horses' hooves stepping on gravel.

The ground was in a mess, but only the sound of horse hooves was infinitely amplified in the ears of the Luodian people led by Zhao Guangzhi.

Kicking, kicking, neither hurried nor slow.

More than a dozen riders turned out from the street corner, all wearing masks and black armor, and the spears of some of them were still dripping with blood.

The one in the front had dark flames rising from his armor, and the black smoke that came out condensed and did not dissipate, turning into a shadow that lingered around its owner.

At first glance, he doesn't look like a living person at all.
