Pu Cunrui was in a bad mood. The Beishan army was chasing him at night, but he was left to send him down and took four thousand soldiers and horses to capture Qingtang City. After all the main forces set off, he led four thousand soldiers and horses to continue to stay five miles south of Qingtang City, guarding the torches lit by the sparks as suspicious soldiers. Otherwise, the torches would move. If there were spies from the Xiguan Army, he would know the movement of the Beishan Army.

Logically speaking, the merits of pursuing the enemy's army are naturally incomparable to the capture of the city. Being able to win a city is a real great merit. Unfortunately, the current Qingtang City is like taking things out for the Beishan Army, without any effort.

The main force of the Xiguan Army has retreated from Qingtang City, leaving behind an empty city without troops. This city has lost its strategic position. Even if it takes Qingtang City at this time, it is not considered a great contribution. Instead, it sends troops to pursue and defeat the Xiguan Army. That is a great contribution.

Pu Cunrui was naturally a little unwilling to be kept, but he was helpless. Luo Dingxi is now the chief general of the Beishan Army, so naturally no one dared to disobey his military orders.

According to Luo Dingxi's instructions, after the main force of Beishan chased out of the land fifteen miles north of Qingtang City, Pu Cunrui led his troops and immediately went to Qingtang City and took down the empty city that was unguarded.

The spy came to report continuously, and when he informed Luo Dingxi that the troops led by Luo Dingxi had already left fifteen miles north of Qingtang City, Pu Cunrui sent the order and four thousand soldiers began to move towards Qingtang City, five miles away from Qingtang City. In a blink of an eye, he knew that there were no soldiers guarding Qingtang City, so the four thousand soldiers were naturally not under pressure. Moreover, the Beishan Army had sent people to climb over the city and entered the city. Once the army arrived, the city gate would be opened immediately.

Qingtang City is just a small county town, and the city walls cannot be said to be tall or even solid. There are also some soldiers with great means in the Beishan army. It is not difficult to climb over the wall and enter the city.

Pu Cunrui led a 4,000 army and went straight to the south gate of Qingtang City. The torches were burning strongly, like stars. Pu Cunrui looked up at the city and saw a few figures flashing above the city. He knew that it was the inner respondent who was sneaking into the city. He looked back and saw a soldier holding a torch behind him circled the torch in his hand in several circles. This was a secret code that had been agreed in advance, indicating that the inner respondents in the city should open the door quickly.

The figure on the top of the city disappeared. Pu Cunrui knew that he should have gone to open the city gate and held the horse's reins, and was bored and lazy. Although Qing Tangcheng was about to be taken down immediately, he did not feel any excitement.

Waiting for the city gate to open, a cavalry rushed out from behind and reported, "Report to General Pu Lang, a team of soldiers appeared behind our army and were approaching quickly."

Pu Cunrui was stunned and frowned, "There are soldiers and horses behind? Can you tell which army is there? Danyang has two thousand soldiers and horses left behind, so they will not leave Danyang and chase after him from the rear."

"General Lang, we are naturally our own people behind us." A general next to him said, "Is it possible that Duke Xiao wants to see this victory with his own eyes and lead his troops?"

Pu Cunrui felt that it was impossible for the enemy to appear behind him, but a team of people suddenly appeared at this time. Although it was strange, it might not have been Xiao Huanzhang who led his troops to come.

While hesitating, another pedestrian came, "Long General, we asked each other. It seemed that Du Xiao came in person, holding the flag of Xiao!"

Pu Cunrui's expression immediately became solemn, "Du Xiao really came out in person?" He shouted loudly: "Send the order and line up to welcome Du Xiao." He shouted to the top of the city, "Open the city gate quickly, Du Xiao is here."

No matter what, although he did not participate in the pursuit, it was very easy to take down Qingtang City, which was much better than not being able to achieve success. At least when Xiao Huanzhang came, he could still take out this city to report to Xiao Huanzhang.

The thousands of soldiers under Pu Cunrui were not veterans, but almost all new recruits recruited in recent years. At this time, he shouted and lined up to greet Xiao Huanzhang. The formation was chaotic for a while, and finally formed a team. There was even a road in the middle so that Xiao Huanzhang would enter the city later. However, when the array was neat, the Qingtang city gate was still not opened. Pu Cunrui couldn't help frowning and was about to ask, but he had heard footsteps coming from the south. He shook the reins of the horse and rushed to the front. There were already a few miles ahead. He thought that Duke Xiao was coming so fast that he turned over and got off the horse and threw the horse to his subordinates and led it aside.

He saw that the torch was not big in the formation, but the flame still reflected the "Xiao" flag. He thought that this time he defeated the Xiguan Army and took down the Jiazhou was the first step for Xiao Huanzhang to fight for the northwest. Xiao Huanzhang naturally attached great importance to it. It was reasonable to come to take charge in person. He had a complete armor and looked solemn, waiting for Xiao Huanzhang to come.

The army had no other sound except footsteps. It was so powerful that it looked like two or three thousand soldiers and horses moved quickly on the muddy ground. As they approached this side, the opponent's speed was not slow but fast, and from rapid steps to rapid rushing. Pu Cunrui frowned. Just as he felt something was wrong, he suddenly heard continuous screams coming from behind him, and his expression changed drastically. When he turned around, he saw the array behind him, he had already started to riot. The soldiers in the formation had already fallen down continuously.

"What's going on?" Pu Cunrui was shocked and drew his sword. In order to line up to welcome Xiao Huanzhang, all the soldiers in the army faced the south with their backs facing Qingtang City, but to this day, the south gate of Qingtang City has not been opened.

"General Pu Lang, at the top of the city..." someone beside him shouted in horror: "There are Xiguan Army on the top of the city..."

Pu Cunrui immediately looked up and saw the scene at the head of the city. His expression changed drastically. At some point, a line of archers lined up on the empty city, with at least three or four hundred people. The archers at the head of the city were merciless and shot arrows in succession. The soldiers in Beishan under the city were densely connected, and they were connected in an array and were close to the city gate. At this moment, they became living targets of archery.

The four thousand Beishan Army thought that Qingtang City was within easy reach, and with the previous information, all the defenders of Qingtang City retreated without soldiers, and they were even more relaxed. They never thought that the fight would come so suddenly, and they would not have thought that the city gates behind had to be opened. Instead, hundreds of archers appeared on the top of the city wall ruthlessly shot and killed them.

The formation was originally neat, but when the arrows were shot, the companions around him fell down. The revival suddenly became chaotic. Pu Cunrui was extremely angry. Almost at this moment, there was another roar of killing sounds from mountains and seas in the south. The team with the "Xiao" flag rushed over like a wolf or a tiger. The bright sword and gun were filled with murderous aura, and the sword energy was Yan Shuang.

The defenders appeared in Qingtang City, which was originally within reach. The "family members" who were about to be welcomed, rushed towards him with swords and guns in a blink of an eye. Thousands of soldiers were caught off guard for a moment. They really didn't know what was wrong, but the other party obviously would not leave time for them to think. Before many people came to their senses, the team rushed forward, without saying a word, swung their swords and guns, slashing and stabbing.

The formation of the Beishan Army was completely scattered. Pu Cunrui shouted and shouted, but there were several enemy troops around him. Only then did he see clearly that this was not Xiao Huanzhang's team. It was clearly the Xiguan Army holding Xiao Huanzhang's flag, but he really couldn't figure out that the Xiguan Army had retreated to the north, so why did such a soldier appear from behind him?

The Xiguan Army's troops were actually not as strong as the Beishan Army, but at a sudden confrontation, the Beishan Army was already at a disadvantage.

This Beishan Army was not prepared to fight at all and was completely caught off guard. On the contrary, the Xiguan Army had already planned and had a rainbow of morale, like a tiger going down the mountain.

If the two armies faced head-on, the Beishan Army might not be so vulnerable. However, under this circumstance, these thousands of Beishan soldiers and horses were all fooled from top to bottom, and they couldn't believe that there would be such a change.

Blood was flying and screaming. The Xiguan Army and the Beishan Army had already mixed together, intertwined with each other, and completely formed a bloody close contact.

Pu Cunrui was shocked, but at this time, he could only fight to fight. He waved his sword and slashed several enemy troops in succession. Knowing that at this time, his formation had dispersed and his morale had collapsed. The military order was no longer effective. He could only use chaos as chaos and shouted loudly: "Brothers, cut off a head of a Xiguan soldier and rewarded fifty taels of silver. Everyone robbed the silver."

At this time, he could only use this most primitive method to inspire his subordinates to fight to the death. After all, his troops under him were not at a disadvantage. If he fought to the death, he might not lose.

Unfortunately, the battlefield was in chaos, and some soldiers from Beishan Army were caught off guard by the Xiguan Army, frightened and dispersed.

In the military formation, a tall and large general in the Xiguan Army held a giant axe in his hand. The giant axe rolled and a spear thrust from the side. The man waved the giant axe, the cold air dispersed, and the spear broke, and the head broke. The brave general of Xiguan, Lu Cunxiao, was like a tiger in a flock of sheep, leading the way. A giant axe was invincible. No one in the Beishan Army could compete with.

This Xiguan army was commanded by Lu Cunxiao. He hiked on foot. Wherever he passed, people were rolling and blood was everywhere. The general used his life like this, so the soldiers of Xiguan would naturally not cherish their lives.

Lu Cunxiao was in the military formation and a road paved with blood was unstoppable. His whole body was covered with blood. Seeing such a brave killing god, the soldiers in Beishan dared not approach it? Wherever he went, the soldiers in Beishan ran away like rabbits frightened. It was really unstoppable. Seeing that Pu Cunrui waved his long sword not far away and chopped several soldiers in Xiguan in succession, Lu Cunxiao roared, walked vigorously, raised his giant axe, and rushed towards Pu Cunrui.

Pu Cunrui cut down an enemy army, and suddenly heard a loud roar not far away. Following the sound, he saw Lu Cunxiao, who was like the ancient war god of prehistoric times, trying to rush over by himself. The blood-stained axe dissipated murderous aura. At this moment, Pu Cunrui felt that his heart was faint and seemed to have lost the courage to fight.

Before he could take the call, Pu Cunrui knew that he was not the opponent's opponent's opponent. The strong murderous aura on the other side was far from enough. He was shocked and wondered when the Xiguan Army would have such a fierce brave general. By the way, Pu Cunrui subconsciously slashed with a long sword, but was not ready to fight against Lu Cunxiao, so he turned around and left.
