Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 331 Contest
Today, Wang Zixing suddenly led troops to fight, and Xicheng was also in a panic, because Tong Qinghui had sent someone to send news quickly, so Zhen Zhiyou and Nongkan were all in military uniform, and the supervisor led the county soldiers to fight.

"Master Huang, you can lead the yamen servants and civilian husbands to guard at the root of the mountain. If anyone wants to jump into the city, he will be killed on the spot. I will lead the county soldiers to guard the top of the city. I believe the king's reinforcements will arrive soon."

Nongkan is worthy of being a county lieutenant in charge of the military. Seeing that Zhen Zhiyou, a civilian official, was already panicking, he immediately came up with an idea.

Zhen Zhiyou had no choice but to agree.

He was originally Yang Song's in-law, and he had no skills, so he became the county magistrate by paying bribes.

Once something happens, don't panic.

Here, Wang Zixing led 5000 troops and quickly rushed to the west city. After seeing the situation in the west city, he immediately had a rough judgment in his heart.

The gates and walls of the west city are not considered strong, so they should be easy to break through, but Wang Zixing doesn't want to work hard, otherwise he will suffer more losses.

Next, he had to go straight down to Nanzheng. It was time to use his troops, so he decided to use a clever plan to break through the city.

Wang Zixing called over two accompanying small schools, and asked them to bring a hundred elite soldiers each, lightly dressed, armed with round shields and single sabers, each with a pine torch on their backs, and went to the slopes on both sides to climb to the root of the mountain.

On the other hand, he led a large group of people and called for battle under the city.

Nongkan is a military post after all, and Wang Zixing’s name has been heard before, but if the two sides have similar numbers of people, he would like to go down to the city to fight, but looking at the large army of the Song Dynasty, there are not [-] but [-]. I became timid in my heart.I dare not go out of the city to fight.

Wang Zixing was not in a hurry, so he asked the sergeants to make noise to attract attention, and only waited for the sergeants on both sides to jump over the city and break through the gate.

Zhen Zhiyou in the city also saw someone approaching at the root of the city, and immediately organized people to suppress it. Unfortunately, he was inexperienced, and when he saw the east, he forgot the west.

As a result, he led his yamen servants and civilian husbands to form a group with a hundred Song soldiers who jumped from the city in the east. As a result, the small school in the west led people directly into the city.

Nongkan was still scolding the prince at the top of the city when he suddenly heard a commotion at his feet.

When he understood it, he found that the city gate had been killed by the Song army and opened the gate to let them go.

"Zhen Zhiyou, you are really..."

Nong Kan was furious, Wang Zixing had already rode his horse into the city, facing Nong Kan, and stabbed him with a spear.

As soon as the city gate opened, Wang Zixing took the lead and patted his horse straight into the city. He saw a leader of the Hanzhong army dressed as a military officer, commanding people to resist with a frustrated face.

Without saying a word, Wang Zixing rode forward, raised his gun and stabbed. Nong Kan also saw Wang Zixing. Although Mi had seen Wang Zixing before, he immediately knew something was wrong when he saw the momentum, armor, and the banner behind him. With a flash of a shot, the horse is about to run.

How could Wang Zixing let him escape.Urging his horse to catch up, he shot Nongkan in the back.

With a scream, Nong Kan fell off his horse and died.

The defenders in the west city were in chaos, and they were hacked and killed by Wang Zixing and the Song army, and the west city changed hands.

Zhen Zhiyou was arrested and brought to Wang Zixing.

Wang Zixing asked him a few questions, and Zhen Zhiyou talked endlessly in order to save his life.

Wang Zixing nodded, thinking that since this guy knows the Hanzhong Army better, why don't I escort him straight to Nanzheng and let him be a guide and advisor.

Order the team to rest in place, have a meal, and then continue to march into Nanzheng.

But before the rice was cooked, a sergeant suddenly came to report, "General Wen! There is smoke and dust outside the city, and it seems that someone is coming."

Wang Zixing frowned, "At this time, there are still people coming to the west city. Is it the reinforcements sent by the king, or Tong Qinghui's reinforcements? Close the city! Let's investigate again!"

The messenger turned and left, while Wang Zixing came directly to the top of the city and looked into the distance.

I saw the smoke and dust approaching, and there seemed to be two troops, one in front and the other in the back, approaching the west city.

Wang Zixing took a closer look, and quickly saw what was going on, and immediately ordered, "Kaicheng, the whole army will come out, and help General Huo kill the enemy!"

Outside the city, the two armies of Yang'an and Wang Zilong who rushed to the front and rear were actually not sure.

But Wang Zilong is better than Yang An, because Wang Zilong knows that the king sent [-] troops to attack Xicheng, even if he can't take it for a while, the [-] troops cannot be wiped out.

Even if [-] pigs are killed, it will take a few days to kill them.

As for Yang An, he was completely at a loss. Whether Xicheng was attacked or not, and what the outcome would be, can only be guesses.

The two armies came to the city one after another, only to see the city gate suddenly opened, and a pair of sergeants came out in line, and then looked at the flag.It is the character general flag of the Song Dynasty.

Yang An couldn't help sighing, "It's finally a step too late."

Wang Zilong laughed loudly, waved his gun and said, "Kill!"

The [-] Song Army surrounded the [-] Han Zhong Army and fought in chaos.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang An led three hundred soldiers to fight desperately, trying to fight a bloody path from behind Wang Zilong and escape back to Dingjun Mountain.

Wang Zixing and Wang Zilong tried their best to intercept them, but he ran away. The three thousand Chinese army, only 500 people, fled back from behind Wang Zilong's army.

The other 500 people were either killed or captured.

Wang Zixing and Wang Zilong entered the city hand in hand and had a hot meal together.After chatting for a while, Wang Zixing mobilized his troops and headed towards Nanzheng.

the other side.At the foot of Dingjun Mountain, Zhao Dezhao and Tong Qinghui confronted each other.

Tong Qinghui's army would never go out of the city, and Zhao Dezhao couldn't make up his mind to attack for a while.

Anyone who has a sharp weapon of a siege cannon will feel that it is not worthwhile to attack the city with too many casualties.

That night, Zhao Dezhao, Fang Zhengqi, Jiang An, Zheng Xing and others sat and drank wine.It is inevitable that there will be talk about the difficulty of the road to Shu and the difficulty of transporting artillery.

Zheng Xing suddenly smiled.

Zhao Dezhao's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "Looking at Prime Minister Xu's appearance, there must be a strategy to defeat the enemy. Let's hear what it is."

Zheng Xing said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I wasted 40 years old this year. I have done things in Yizhou and Jiangdong, and everything was unsatisfactory, so I came to Taiyuan to mess around. Speaking of Hanzhong, when I was in Yizhou I've heard it before."

"Under Tong Qinghui's subordinates in Hanzhong, although there are not many civil servants and military generals, and none of them are very capable, they are enough to guard here in Hanzhong. It's just that these civil servants and military generals have their own characteristics. Among them, they can be called strategies to defeat the enemy. , I happen to know a little bit."

"Among them, the civil servant Yang Song is greedy for money, and the military commander Tong Qu is ignorant. The strategy of defeating the enemy lies in these two people."

Zhao Dezhao, Fang Zhengqi, and Jiang An were all overjoyed, "Prime Minister Xu, please continue talking."

So Zheng Xing continued, "Under Tong Qinghui's subordinates, the civil servants are number one in words, resourceful, and loyal. They are second to none, but Yanfu is rigid and not flexible, so Yang Song is responsible for Hanzhong's finances. , Yang Song is quite good at making money."

"Most of Hanzhong's finances are earned by Yangsong, that's why he has the position of deputy prime minister. Now that he has more money, he naturally becomes greedy for money. Yangsong must take a discount from all the ways to get money in Hanzhong. It’s like three percent, or 5.00 percent.”
