Qiao Daoqing took Feng Er and Nie Xin around and arrived ten miles away from the west gate of Zhaode City, then stopped and sent a soldier to inquire about the situation.

About ten minutes later, the soldiers who were inquiring about the news came back and said, "Zhaode City has been captured by the Song army, and all the generals defending the city were killed."

"What Zhaode has been broken!"

Feng Er and Nie Xin were shocked. Feng Er asked Qiao Daoqing: "Military advisor, Zhaode has been broken, what should we do?"

Nie Xin said: "Why don't we go back to meet King Jin."

Qiao Daoqing didn't expect Zhaode to be broken so quickly, and was shocked. He thought, "When I came out, I boasted about Haikou in front of the King of Jin. I would definitely be able to break Zhaode's siege and defeat the Song army, but now it is not only not cleared.

After getting Zhaode's siege, he lost 20,000 troops. If he went back, how could he explain to Tian Hu? What if he asked me to cast spells against the Song army? I can't use the excuse that I didn't have God's permission.

This move is only suitable for deceiving these two fools. It may not work well for Tian Hu. After all, if you can't use magic to help him, it will be useless for him to keep me by your side. Maybe he will still

Will kill me.

So, I must never go back, at least not at this time.

If I don't go back, where can I go? Could it be that I will escape like this and wander around the world again? But I finally settled down and have my current noble identity. It would be a pity if I just lost it like this.

.”

Qiao Daoqing thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that although Zhaode was lost, Lucheng County, Zhaode's county was still under the control of Tian Hu's army. It would be better to stay here first and then find another way.

"Lucheng County is still under our control. Let's go to Lucheng County first, and then find a way to defeat the Song army." Qiao Daoqing said.

Feng Er and Nie Xin thought about it for a while, and now they were the only one, so they didn't say anything, and went with Qiao Daoqing.

An hour later, Qiao Daoqing and his friends arrived in Lucheng County. The general guarding the city, Chi Fang, welcomed them into the yamen. After a brief greeting, Qiao Daoqing asked, "General Chi, how many soldiers are there in Lucheng County?"

Chi Fang said: "There are still 15,000 soldiers."

Qiao Daoqing thought to himself: "Although 15,000 people are a little less, they are better than nothing. As long as they are used properly, they can still deal with the Song army."

"This time, the King of Jin asked me to lead 20,000 soldiers to break the siege of Zhaode, but I didn't expect that I was ambushed by the Song army. Fortunately, we were blessed by the King of Jin Fuze and safely escaped from the siege of the Song army. Now I

People have been sent back to invite reinforcements from King Jin, so they need to suspend their support for a while at General Chi to wait for reinforcements to arrive." Qiao Daoqing said.

Chi Fang said: "With military advisors here, I will have more confidence in defending this city."

Then he immediately asked someone to prepare a banquet to entertain Qiao Daoqing, Feng Er, Nie Xin, Lei Zhen and others.

Zhaode City.

Hua Ju sat in the main hall of the military camp, looked at the generals around him and said, "Zhao Decheng has already brought it up. I wonder what the situation is with General Lu?"

Dai Zong stood up, clasped his fists and said, "If you are worried, go and inquire about it."

Hua Ju said, "If General Dai wants to go, that is the best."

Afterwards, Dai Zong said goodbye to Hua Ju and left the lobby, rode a war horse and left with four soldiers.

After Dai Zong left, Hua Ju said to the generals: "Lucheng County, the county of Zhaode, is still controlled by Tian Hu's army. If we do not eliminate this anti-army, it will be difficult for us to continue to march forward."

Wei Dingguo, Shan Tinggui, Xuanzan, Hao Siwen stood up and said, "Sir, I am willing to lead troops to wipe out the anti-army in Lucheng County."

Although Wei Dingguo, Shan Tinggui, Xuan Zan and Hao Siwen followed Hua Ju, but because everyone's strength was limited, the military achievements made in the battle against Fang La and Wang Qing were very small, so he always thought.

I hope there will be more opportunities to make contributions.

Now Zhaode's main defenders have been eliminated, and the remaining anti-army in Lucheng County believe that it should be easy to wipe out, so they took the initiative to lead troops to recover Lucheng County.

Hua Ju nodded gently and said, "Since the four generals are willing to go, I will give you 30,000 troops and must recover Lucheng County."

"As for the order, the four generals responded in unison.

After leaving the main hall, Wei Dingguo, Shan Tinggui, Xuanzan, and Hao Siwen ordered 30,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, and left the city and headed towards Lucheng County.

Two and a half hours later, Wei Dingguo and his team arrived ten miles from Lucheng County.

It was almost the hour of the afternoon. Wei Dingguo asked Shan Tinggui, Xuanzang, and Hao Siwen: "Would we camp for one night first, or attack immediately?"

Hao Siwen said: "It's not too late now, so let's attack immediately and then go to the county to live."

"Yes, isn't it easy for us to take down this small Lucheng County? Will it be better to fight and live in the county than to set up camp outside?" Shan Tinggui also said.

Xuanzan also agreed to start attacking immediately. Seeing that everyone was all about this, Wei Dingguo immediately led his troops to Lucheng County to continue his journey.

Lucheng County.

Chi Fang was also accompanying Qiao Daoqing and the others, and suddenly a soldier hurriedly walked in and said, "General, a team of about 30,000 Song troops are coming towards us, only five or six miles away from us."

When Chi Fang heard this, his face changed drastically and asked Qiao Daoqing: "Military advisor, the Song army is here so soon, what should we do?"

Qiao Daoqing said: "General Chi, don't worry. Although the Song army has 30,000 people, there are 15,000 people in our city. It is not so easy for them to break through Lucheng County. You immediately order all the soldiers,

All of them were guarding the four cities, and the Song army must not be allowed to attack.

"Yes, I immediately asked someone to inform the soldiers in the city to go to the four gates to guard."

Chi Fang immediately called his personal soldiers around him and asked him to inform the soldiers in the city, which were divided into four routes, each of which was 3,000 people, and each of them stood in front of the four city gates.

"Let's go, let's go to the south gate to take a look," Qiao Daoqing said.

Chi Fang accompanied Qiao Daoqing out of the house. Qiao Daoqing looked up and looked at the sky. Seeing that the sky was yellow, he knew that heavy rain was coming and he immediately had an idea.

After about half an hour, Chi Fang suddenly felt fear in his heart and said, "Military advisor, the number of Song army is more than

We've doubled, can we really hold on?"

Qiao Daoqing said: "General Chi, don't worry too much. Although our number is not as large as theirs, we have city defense. As long as we can withstand the attack of the Song army, I will have my own way to defeat them after dark."

"Then everything depends on the military advisor." Chi Fang said.

Qiao Daoqing then looked at Feng Er, Nie Xin, Lei Zhen and said, "General Feng, General Nie, General Lei, you three go to the west gate, east gate and north gate respectively to guard the Song army. You must not allow the Song army to attack the city."

"yes."

Feng Er, Nie Xin, and Lei Zhen got off the city tower and got on their horses and rushed to the west gate, east gate and north gate respectively.

Soon, Wei Dingguo and his team arrived outside the south gate. After the army had formed a formation, Wei Dingguo shouted to the city tower: "Listen to the anti-army guarding the city, we are the army sent by the imperial court to wipe out the rebels. If you don't want to die,

Open the city gate quickly and surrender. We can spare your life based on the virtue of God's good life. Otherwise, if you break the city, you will not even think of living."

Chi Fang opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Qiao Daoqing said, "Don't pay attention to them and let them talk to themselves outside the city."

Wei Dingguo shouted outside the city for a few minutes, but there was no response on Jiancheng Tower, and said to Xuan Zan and others: "It seems that the other party does not plan to come out to fight us."

"Since they don't come out, we will attack the city directly." Xuan Zan said.

"good."

Then Shan Tinggui, Xuan Zan and Hao Siwen each led 6,000 soldiers to the north gate, east gate and west gate of Lucheng County, and then ordered the soldiers to set up the wind and thunder cannons, and then banged wildly at the city tower.

The defenders on the city tower ran away with their heads in their arms.

"Military advisor, they have artillery, what should we do if we are not prepared to defend artillery?" Chi Fang squatted against the low wall and said to Qiao Daoqing who was squatting opposite him.

Qiao Daoqing did not expect that the Song army actually carried artillery. Now he finally knew why Zhaode City was captured so quickly, it must be because the Song army used artillery.

"The Song army used artillery to suppress the defense on the city tower. I believe they will launch an siege soon and prepare the soldiers. Once the siege is siege, they must be repelled." Qiao Daoqing said.

Chi Fang said: "The artillery is so fierce that the soldiers cannot defend themselves at all."

Qiao Daoqing said: "Don't worry, their artillery will not always shoot like this, otherwise the soldiers they siege will be injured, so when they siege the city, the artillery will definitely stop."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a deafening shout from outside the city. Qiao Daoqing and Chi Fang looked outside through the lookout hole on the low wall and found that it was the Song army that started siege the city, so they hurriedly shouted to the soldiers.

He said: "The Song army has begun to attack the city, everyone should be prepared for defense quickly."

The defensive soldiers who were originally hiding from stone bullets immediately returned to the low wall to prepare for defense, but at this time, a rain of arrows shot out of the city first, and the soldiers standing in front of the low wall were all shot down by arrows.

At this time, the soldiers who were sieging the city of Song troops had already arrived at the city, leaned the ladder against the wall, and climbed up quickly.

"Song army rushed up, hold on to me, and can't let them rush up." Qiao Daoqing shouted.

However, it was too late. The Song army had already jumped from the ladder to the city wall and started fighting with the soldiers guarding the city.

Qiao Daoqing, when Chi Fang saw that the situation was not good, he immediately ran down from the city tower. Chi Fang asked, "Military advisor, what should we do now?"

Qiao Daoqing said: "It seems that Lucheng County cannot be saved anymore. We can only rush out immediately now, otherwise we will not be able to survive."

"But there are so many people in the Song army, can we rush out?" Chi Fang was a little worried.

Qiao Daoqing said: "Now I don't care about these things anymore. If I don't leave at this time, it will be even more difficult for the more Song soldiers to leave in a while."

Chi Fang thought for a while and felt that what he said made sense. Then he stopped hesitating and followed him to the horse, then said to the soldiers guarding the door: "Brothers, open the city gate and rush out with me."

The soldiers guarding the city quickly opened the city gate, Qiao Daoqing and Chi Fang led more than 2,000 soldiers guarding in front of the city gate to kill them together.

Wei Dingguo saw Qiao Daoqing and rushed out, and immediately went forward to stop him. However, his martial arts was not the opponent of Qiao Daoqing. He could not resist it after more than twenty rounds of battle. Although he helped the soldiers nearby to save his life,

He was killed by Qiao Daoqing.

"Chasing me."
