In any case, Wang Zongshi failed to defeat Xia Cheng even with his last trick, so it can be said that there is no hope of victory. On the top of the city, the Xia brothers and the Gao family soldiers were fighting all the way, and they were already slow.

In turn, Manchu suppressed the defenders at the top of the city. Now there were thousands of Gao's troops rushing to the top of the city, and the Song army was already defeated.

Xia Cheng obviously also noticed the situation on the top of the city. He sneered and shouted to Wang Zongshi again: "Wang Zongshi. I say it again, surrender! I will save you from death! There will be endless glory and wealth! If you resist to the end, there is only one way to die.

"

The wrist holding the giant sword was shaking a little. He used that trick twice today, which was a heavy burden for Wang Zongshi. But facing Xia Cheng's solicitation again, Wang Zongshi held his head high and his eyes were high.

Full of passion, he said: "Don't talk nonsense. Are you, Grandpa Wang Zongshi, the kind of person who surrenders to the enemy in battle? It's easy for you to kill me today. But it's impossible for me to betray Your Majesty and the Song Dynasty!"

"Hmph!" His recruitment was rejected again, and Xia Cheng's eyes became even more angry. If it weren't for the purpose of recruiting talents for Gao An, he would have killed Wang Zongshi with one blow. But now it seems that Wang Zongshi is unlikely to surrender.

, Xia Cheng turned his wrist and said to Wang Zongshi: "Since you are looking for death, then don't blame me for being ruthless with the sword." After saying that, Xia Cheng swung his sword towards Wang Zongshi.

Although Wang Zongshi knew that he refused Xia Cheng's solicitation and would inevitably die, it did not mean that he would stand there waiting to die. Faced with Xia Cheng's eyebrow-leaf sharp knife, Wang Zongshi rolled on the ground again and avoided it.

After resisting Xia Cheng's attack, he swung his giant knife and slashed at Xia Cheng's legs.

However, at this moment, Wang Zongshi's condition has dropped a lot compared to his previous heyday, and this sword can no longer bring out his full strength. Xia Cheng saw this, and just raised his foot and knocked Wang Zongshi's giant sword away.

It stepped on the foot, and at the same time, it swung out again, hitting Wang Zongshi's shoulder. Fortunately, Wang Zongshi dodge quickly, otherwise, this knife alone would be enough to remove one of Wang Zongshi's arms.

Even so, the blow on Wang Zongshi's body was not light. Blood spattered out, making half of Wang Zongshi's face dyed red. Gritting his teeth, Wang Zongshi reluctantly kicked Xia Cheng on the knee.

And Xia Cheng didn't expect that Wang Zongshi could fight back so quickly after being stabbed by himself.

He was accidentally kicked back several steps by Wang Zongshi. Taking this opportunity, Wang Zongshi also drew out his giant knife and killed Xia Cheng again.

He was accidentally hit by Wang Zongshi's move. Xia Cheng became even more angry. He shouted loudly and drew a half-circle in the air with his sharp eyebrow blade, then struck Wang Zongshi in an extremely weird arc.

.

When Wang Zongshi saw it, he didn't bother to attack Xia Cheng, and hurriedly put it on his chest. In this way, he should be able to block the attack of Mei Ye's sharp knife. But he saw the moment when Mei Ye's sharp knife was about to hit the giant knife.

, Wang Zongshi felt his eyes dazzled, the eyebrow-leaf sharp knife suddenly turned to Wang Zongshi's lower body, and in the blink of an eye, a cut was made on Wang Zongshi's left leg.

Wang Zongshi was startled. He had never seen such a weird sword technique. No wonder His Majesty had told them on weekdays that Xia Cheng was also one of the strongest masters in the world. He indeed had two brushes.

After he was hit by a knife on his foot, Wang Zongshi couldn't stand anymore. Half-kneeling on the ground, he simply rolled away and got out of Xia Cheng's attack range. Looking back, he saw that the situation on the entire city had already changed.

They completely fell to the other side, and it was only a matter of time before the city was breached. A trace of helplessness and determination flashed in Wang Zongshi's eyes, and he finally shouted: "All the troops! Retreat!" After saying this, Wang Zongshi gritted his teeth and turned towards the city.

Run away.

Wang Zongshi's retreat order means that the Song army will give up the city wall. Without the obstruction of the city wall, the Song army in the city alone will never be able to stop the coalition forces of Liu Jiajun and Gao Jiajun outside the city. This also means that Nanxiong

The state city was captured.

"Hmph! Want to run?" Xia Cheng couldn't help but be startled when he saw Wang Zongshi actually choose to run away, but he quickly realized it, snorted with disdain on his face, raised his knife and started to chase after him. Wang Zongshi had a wound on his leg.

, he couldn't run fast at all, how could he escape Xia Cheng's pursuit? Seeing that Xia Cheng was getting closer and closer to Wang Zongshi, it wouldn't be long before Xia Cheng would catch up with Wang Zongshi and give Wang Zongshi a fatal blow.

"Commander! Run!" Suddenly a shout rang out, but a person suddenly jumped out from Xia Cheng's right and pounced directly on Xia Cheng. It was one of Wang Zongshi's soldiers. It turned out that he saw Wang Zongshi

Zong Shi was chased by Xia Cheng, so he rushed over desperately, trying to help Wang Zongshi block Xia Cheng.

However, how could he stop Xia Cheng with just a small soldier? Seeing the soldier rushing towards him, a trace of contempt flashed in Xia Cheng's eyes. Without stopping at all, he waved the eyebrow sharp knife with one hand.

, slashed twice horizontally and vertically in the air, and actually cut the soldier into four pieces in the air.

"Don't even think about hurting my leader." Before the body of the soldier fell to the ground, several more soldiers rushed up. They didn't even think that they could survive. They just used their bodies as weapons, just to be able to survive.

Xia Cheng was blocked for a moment. On Wang Zongshi's side, two soldiers also ran over. They helped Wang Zongshi up and ran towards the city.

The sacrifices of those soldiers finally had an effect. Although they all died tragically under Xia Cheng's eyebrow sharp knife, Xia Cheng had to stop. Seeing Wang Zongshi being killed by the two soldiers

He ran away with support, Xia Cheng shouted angrily and stepped up

He was about to continue the pursuit. But as soon as Xia Cheng's legs took a step forward, he felt particularly heavy. When he looked down, he saw that a soldier who had just been chopped to the ground by him was still alive. Before he died, his hands were directly on the ground.

He hugged Xia Cheng's foot and held on tightly, refusing to let go.

When he was about to die, the soldier raised his head and glanced at Xia Cheng with a ferocious expression. He mustered up his last strength and said, "Don't even think about hurting me..." Before he could finish his words, the soldier tilted his head and lost his breath.

"Hmph." Xia Cheng casually waved a knife and cut the body of the soldier at his feet into pieces. When he looked up, he saw that Wang Zongshi had already disappeared. Although his face could still remain calm, his chest that kept rising and falling meant that

It reflects Xia Cheng's current angry mood.

"Father." At this time, Xia Wu and his two brothers also rushed to Xia Cheng. After Wang Zongshi gave the order to retreat, the Song army on the city began to flee. Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Xia Wu and the other three

After killing for a while, there was no

Xia Wu continued to participate in the fighting. When Xia Wu saw Xia Cheng's appearance, he knew that his father must be angry because he could not catch Wang Zongshi, and quickly advised: "Don't worry, father. Now that Nanxiong Prefecture City has been besieged, then

It’s hard for Wang Zongshi to escape.”

After Xia Wu persuaded him, Xia Cheng finally looked better. He nodded, then glanced at the three Xia Wu brothers and said, "You three are not practicing enough. After this battle, I will decide for my father."

I need to train you well." When he said this, Xia Cheng also had an angry look on his face, obviously very dissatisfied that his three sons had just been defeated by their opponents.

The three brothers had no choice but to smile bitterly, and promised Xia Cheng with clasped fists: "Yes! Father." They knew in their hearts that Xia Cheng's words meant that they would not have a good life in the future.

With the help of two soldiers, Wang Zongshi finally escaped from the battlefield at the top of the city and entered the city. The two soldiers didn't know where to go. One of them quickly asked Wang Zongshi: "Commander! What should we do next?"

what to do?"

Wang Zongshi endured the severe pain in his body and looked back. Behind him were several Song soldiers who had escaped together. Wang Zongshi gritted his teeth, pointed at two of them, and shouted: "You two,

Go to the east of the city and the east of the city respectively to inform the soldiers there.

The horses quickly retreated to the south of the city. We also broke out from the south of the city." Wang Zongshi also knew that Nanxiong Prefecture City was now under heavy siege. Now that the north of the city has been lost, he could only break out from the south of the city, then northwest, and return to the Nan'an Army's mountain village in the southwest.

Only then is there a glimmer of hope.

With Wang Zongshi, everyone had a backbone. The two named soldiers immediately went to carry out Wang Zongshi's order. Wang Zongshi himself, with the support of his own soldiers, started to attack with the remaining soldiers and horses.

Rush to the south of the city.

At the south gate, Cui Hu, who was originally stationed here, had already led 2,000 men to support the east of the city. The remaining 5,000 men had also lost nearly a thousand people in the previous battle. Fortunately, they attacked the south of the city.

Bai Xi had no intention of attacking by force, so he waited until Wang Zongshi rushed to

After arriving at the south of the city, the city head was still not captured. Seeing Wang Zongshi rushing to the south of the city, the deputy general appointed by Cui Hu to command the defense in the south of the city was also shocked. He had never seen Wang Zongshi in such a mess? He hurriedly stepped forward to salute Wang Zongshi.

Asked: "Commander, what are you..."

Wang Zongshi didn't have the thought to explain. The injuries on his body were better than before. Soldiers helped bandage them along the way, and the bleeding finally stopped. He let go of the soldiers who were holding him on the left and right, and looked up towards the city.

Outside, he frowned, then turned to the lieutenant and said: "Leave five hundred people at the top of the city to guard the city, and the remaining soldiers will gather at the city gate to prepare for a breakout."

"Breakout?" The deputy general couldn't help being stunned, but as a soldier, he naturally understood the meaning of obeying military orders, and immediately clasped his fists and shouted: "Obey! I obey!" He was commanding the defenders at the top of the city, and according to Wang Zongshi's instructions

He ordered five thousand people to stay and continue fighting, while the remaining soldiers and horses began to gather at the city gate. They only waited for Wang Zongshi's order to open the city gate and prepare to break out.

Originally, it was difficult to rely on thousands of people to defend, but now it was suddenly reduced to 500 people, but the situation on the top of the city has not changed much. Wang Zongshi squinted his eyes and looked at the battle on the top of the city, but he did not show any surprise.

Attitude, it is obvious that the other party is up to something fishy. Maybe, this time the breakout will be easy.

"Commander." "Commander." Not long after, several shouts came. Wang Zongshi turned around and saw that it was Cui Hu, Zhang Yuntian and others who came over with their troops and horses, plus the South City Gate.

There are nearly 8,000 remaining soldiers and horses here. Cui Hu and Zhang Yuntian rushed to Wang Zongshi's side and were shocked when they saw Wang Zongshi covered with wounds. Hua Zhonglong hurriedly attacked Wang Zongshi

Said: "Commander, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't worry about it." Wang Zongshi didn't bother to explain, and shouted: "Get your troops in order. We are ready to break out."

"Breakout?" Hearing what Wang Zongshi said, Cui Hu and Zhang Yuntian couldn't help but be startled. Cui Hu soon understood that there must be something wrong with the north of the city guarded by Wang Zongshi, and his face sank. Although the enemy's soldiers

There are many horses, but with Wang Zongshi guarding them, it stands to reason that they cannot be broken through so quickly. It seems that something unexpected must have happened in the north of the city.

However, now is not the time to discuss these matters. After Cui Hu and Zhang Yuntian received Wang Zongshi's order, they immediately went down to rectify the army and horses. Wang Zongshi shouted to the hundreds of soldiers who stayed at the top of the city: "You don't have to worry.

I will not give up on you. As long as the soldiers and horses below rush out of the city gate, we can leave here and break out with them. Don't worry. I will stay here until the last moment."

If Wang Zongshi hadn't said this, those soldiers would really be a little worried, but now that Wang Zongshi, as the supreme commander, decided to stay with them, it also made the soldiers feel relieved, and all of them were excited.

He gained the will to fight and fought bravely to kill the enemy.

At the same time, in the east and west of the city, the city head abandoned by the Song Army was quickly captured by the Liu Jiajun. The Liu Jiajun who occupied the city head, under the leadership of Liu Song and other Liu Jiajun generals, directly

Killed into the city of Nanxiong Prefecture. But if you are careful, you will notice that in the process of capturing Nanxiong Prefecture, these Liu Jiajun did not choose to occupy those important military and political facilities. Instead, they destroyed those in Nanxiong Prefecture.

The streets were completely blocked.

When Xia Cheng, with his three sons and a group of Gao Jiajun, rushed from the north of the city to the south of the city, they happened to bump into these Liu Jiajun who were blocking the street. Seeing that the street was severely blocked.

It was so tight that the Gao Jiajun led by Xia Cheng could not pass at all. Xia Cheng immediately shouted at the Liu Jiajun: "Why don't you get out of the way quickly?"

Among the Liu family's troops blocking the road, a man who looked like an officer walked out. He saluted respectfully to Xia Cheng and said, "General Xia, please forgive me. The young one has been ordered by my general to guard this place to prevent the enemy from escaping."

. Without the order of my general, I really don’t dare to get out of the way. Why don’t you ask General Xia to take other roads, maybe you can still pass.”

"You." After being slapped so softly by Liu Jiajun's officer, Xia Cheng glared at him, but he couldn't refute it. Now that Liu Jiajun and Gao Jiajun were cooperating, Xia Cheng couldn't damage the relationship between the two armies. Fortunately, Nanxiong

The city was surrounded on all sides, and they were not afraid of where Wang Zongshi would go. Then Xia Cheng glared at the officer fiercely, turned his horse's head, and shouted to the Xia brothers and a group of Gao family soldiers: "Let's go! Let's change places.

.”

Gao'an spent a lot of time in Nanxiong Prefecture back then, and Xia Cheng was very familiar with the city of Nanxiong Prefecture, so he soon found another passage. But what Xia Cheng didn't expect was that this passage was also used.

The officers and soldiers of the Liu Jiajun were blocked. Another officer of the Liu Jiajun stood up and refused to give way to Xia Cheng for the same reason.

"Bastard." Not only Xia Cheng, but also Xia Hu, the general behind Xia Cheng, couldn't help it. He stepped forward, pointed at the officer and shouted: "Even if Liu Yi is here, he doesn't dare to fight against him."
