Chapter 151 Capturing a Sister-in-Law (7k)

Seeing that Lu Junyi looked unconvinced, Yang Chang introduced Sun An who was beside him to him, and briefly explained the whole story, and then invited him to enter the city together.

When he saw the magistrate nodding and bowing to Sun An, Lu Junyi finally believed that everything was true, and turned to joke with Yang Zhi who was traveling with him.

"Yang Xianfeng is really a lucky general. It seems that we can skip Pingyang and march straight to attack Fenzhou in the rear. Maybe we can be faster than Brother Gongming."

"That should be the case." Yang Zhi nodded slightly, changed the subject and asked, "By the way, where are Master Lu and Wu Dutou now?"

"We are all in Linfen right now, waiting for you to attack Fenzhou together."

"Yang Xianfeng doesn't know?"

Before Yang Chang finished speaking, Lu Junyi showed a surprised expression.

"What should I know?"

"Brother Gongming asked Ruan Xiaoqi to come."

Lu Junyi clapped his hands and smiled bitterly at Yang Zhi, then changed the subject and said, "Ruan Xiaoqi's detour by water is very long, and it will probably take some time to reach Linfen. We have taken Zezhou, and you have taken the entire Pingyang. The court cannot send officials in a short time, so we need to leave people to defend it ourselves, especially since Pingyang borders Qinzhou, and we can't all go to Fenzhou to fight."

"so."

"Brother Gongming hopes that Yang Xianfeng will stay in Pingyang to prevent Tian Hu from sending troops from Qinzhou to cut off our retreat. You also know that the Qinshui River next to Ji County leads directly to Qinzhou in the upper reaches."

"So I will stay in Pingyang, and Mr. Lu will lead the troops to attack Fenzhou? Do you want me to send troops to assist?"

"That's not necessary."

Seeing Yang Chang being so righteous, Lu Junyi felt a little embarrassed, and waved his hand quickly and said: "Although you have recruited a lot of troops, the threat from Qinzhou is still there. Stay and defend Pingyang well, and your contribution will also be indispensable."

"Ok."

"correct."

Lu Junyi was afraid that Yang would disagree, so he changed the subject again: "Before I set out from Zezhou, I heard that the staff officer had reminded me that Hechuan County was in a dangerous location. Qinshui is the county town that borders Qinzhou upstream. If Tian Hu sent troops from Qinzhou, he would have to pass through Hechuan. I wonder who is guarding there now?"

"I gave Zhu Jieji and the surrendered general Mei Yu 5,000 soldiers and horses."

"not enough."

"The main force of 20,000 is currently in Linfen, and there are 10,000 troops in Hongdong County, who were originally planning to go to Fenzhou."

Yang's speech came to an abrupt end. Seeing this, Lu Junyi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yang Xianfeng is thoughtful. Since you have been ordered to guard Pingyang, you should send more troops to Hechuan. Finally, we will encircle Qinzhou from three directions, and you can send troops from Hechuan. In addition, I may need your help in supplying our army to Fenzhou in the north."

"No problem. Pingyang counties all have surplus money and grain, and the Ruan brothers are both in Linfen. It is very convenient to transport materials by water. Mr. Yuan, will you turn west tomorrow and then go north along the Fen River?"

"That's what I meant."

Lu Junyi brought 50,000 infantry and cavalry, but because there were no civilian laborers to help transport food, he could only send 10,000 surrendered soldiers to transport food. Now that Yang Chang promised logistics, he was naturally very happy.

Yang Chang stayed in Ji County for a day, and copied his policies in Linfen and Fushan exactly as they were, and asked Chen Da to replace the original garrison commander to support the important town of Hechuan County in the north.

At night, we stayed at the county posthouse.

Sun An struggled for a long time, but couldn't help asking, "General Yang, why do I feel that Lu Xianfeng seems to be too polite to you? Also, Song Xianfeng wants you to stay in Pingyang. Is he afraid that you will steal Lu Xianfeng's credit?"

"Mr. Lu has always been like this. It may be due to the family changes. As for the small contribution, it doesn't matter. We can live comfortably in Pingyang. However, he is known to be invincible in the world with spears and sticks. He is recognized as the best in Liangshan. Do you want to learn from him?"

"Forget it. I can't even defeat General Yang, so I won't embarrass myself in front of Mr. Lu. His figure is quite similar to mine, so I'm afraid his martial arts skills are better than mine."

Yang Changben thought that Sun An would readily agree, but unexpectedly, the Dragon Slayer shook his head and refused.

Ji's county was small and sparsely populated, and the people in the jurisdiction were less numerous than Lu Junyi's army, so the soldiers were stationed outside the city for the night.

It is midsummer now, and it is only cool in the mornings and evenings.

Yang Changtian and Sun An left the city before dawn. After a simple breakfast in the camp, they led the army westward across the mountains.

After marching for seven or eight days, the army finally arrived in Linfen.

Zhu Wu and others received the news in advance and set up a banquet at the Linfen Prefecture government office to welcome the Liangshan brothers who had come from afar.

The army passed through Fushan County on the way, and the defending general Yang Chun also went out of the city to entertain the troops. Now that they had arrived in Linfen, they were treated to an abundant supply of wine and food.

The ordinary leaders who were traveling with them did not think anything was wrong, but Lu Junyi, Qin Ming and other leading members of Liangshan all had strange thoughts in their minds at this time.

I came here to fight, but why do I feel like I'm home when I get to Pingyang? Everywhere I go, people invite me to dinner.

Pingyang had many cities under its jurisdiction, and most of them surrendered. Yang Chang needed to consolidate the fruits of victory, so he sent his generals out.

At this time, there were only six people left in Linfen, namely Zhu Wu, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Hu Sanniang, Zhou Tong and Ruan Xiaoqi. Including the returned Yang Chang and Sun An, there were just two tables. Lu Junyi brought thirty-six leaders with him, and it felt like the guests had turned the tables.

Yes, Ruan Xiaoqi also arrived, just two days ago.

Song Jiang's reply was first handed to Zhu Wu, and Yang Chang received it before the meal started.

Yang Chang already knew most of the contents of the letter from Lu Junyi, but when it came to taking the military advisor Zhu Wu away, Lu Junyi kept it to himself and did not tell him.

At that time, Hu Sanniang, Zhu Wu, and Lu Junyi were all at the main table. After Yang Chang read the letter, he immediately raised it and asked meaningfully, "Mr. Lu, is Zhu Junshi going to go north with you?"

"Yes, Lu only knows how to fight, so I have to rely on Zhu's wisdom. I forgot to tell you before at Ji's."

"That Pingyang"

"Brother Gongming and I will march east and west, and Tian Hu will certainly not be able to take care of both ends. Brother Yang, as long as you hold the Hechuan line, Pingyang will be safe."

If Lu Junyi could think of it, Yang Chang could naturally think of it too. He deliberately showed his concern to pave the way for asking for people later.

"But we are all rough people. We need to take care of the government affairs of the ten cities in Pingyang. We really cannot do without the assistance of Zhu Junshi. He also has to dispatch food and grass to the officials."

"What should I do?"

Seeing Yang Chang trying to shirk responsibility, Lu Junyi didn't know what to do for a moment, so he directly brought up Song Jiang, "I understand Brother Yang's difficulties, but this is Brother Gongming's arrangement."

"Um"

Yang Chang pinched his chin and frowned, then looked back at the other tables behind him. After a while, he looked at Lu Junyi and asked tentatively, "How about keeping Xiao Rang to help me? He is familiar with paperwork and should be more useful if he stays in Pingyang."

"Xiao Rang? It's up to you."

How could Lu Junyi not agree? Xiao Rang was with the army mainly to record military achievements, which could be done by anyone who could write. It was very cost-effective to exchange him for Zhu Wu.

He was worried that Yang Chang would go back on his word, so he immediately called Xiao Rang to confirm.

When Xiao Rang learned that he had to stay and handle government affairs, an unconfident smile immediately appeared on his face.

Although he had experience in pretending to be a prefect, it was only a temporary impersonation. Before that, he just wrote some notices and articles. He didn't even have the opportunity to handle the affairs of Liangshan, let alone help Yang Chang handle the government affairs of a state.

But the two vanguards had already been decided, so Xiao Rang couldn't refuse.

It has been more than a month since we parted at Chenqiaoyi in May.

Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Yang Zhi meet the leaders of Erlong Mountain. Li Zhong and Zhou Tong meet the leaders of Taohua Mountain. Hao Siwen, Han Tao, and Peng Qi visit Yang Chang to reminisce about the past.
Many good friends gathered in Linfen, and they toasted each other with endless drinking.

After staying for a day, the army headed north.

Yang Chang escorted them all the way to Hongdong County to rest. He did not go north with Lu Junyi out of courtesy, but because Lin Chong, Cao Zheng, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu were all stationed there.

After the Northern Expedition Army arrived in Hongdong, Yang Chang asked Lin Chong to escort the troops to Huoyi on his behalf, while he himself was busy adjusting the defense of Pingyang.

Since Lu Junyi did not want to help, Yang planned to transfer all the more than 10,000 troops stationed in Hongdong to the two counties of Yueyang and Hechuan in the east to help defend against the threat from Tian Hu in Qinzhou.

While Lin Chong led Lu Junyi north, Cao Zheng was ordered to lead 5,000 infantry and cavalry eastward to Yueyang, while Yang Chang returned to Linfen to redeploy.

At this time, there were nearly 20,000 soldiers in Linfen, and Yang Chang planned to disperse them to the Fen River line. This would not only share the pressure of maintaining troops in various counties, but also ensure smooth transportation of grain by water.

On July 15th, Yang Chang rushed back to Linfen.

Just when he was planning to adjust the garrison personnel, Dai Zong, the Speedy Guardian, came to visit unexpectedly.

Song Jiang was attacking Huguan at this time. He was worried that Lu Junyi and Yang Chang would make faster progress than himself, so he sent Dai Zong to check the situation.

When Dai Zong arrived in Ji County, he met Chen Da and learned that the entire Pingyang had been recovered. He then chased all the way to Linfen to confirm it. He was very worried that Yang Chang would not obey orders and continue to move north.

Fortunately, Yang Chang was very "obedient" and willing to garrison Pingyang.

After meeting the returning Yang Chang, Dai Zong felt reassured and left.

The next day, Yang Chang summoned all the generals in Linfen to redeploy the defense of Pingyang.

He left Xiao Rang, Zhou Tong, Ruan Xiaoqi, Wang Yuan, as well as three thousand infantry and five hundred naval forces, in charge of the military and political affairs of Linfen and Xiangling, and he took the remaining troops to Hongdong for further adjustments.

Hongdong is located in the center of Pingyang. Yang Chang planned to set up his headquarters there, believing that it would be more convenient to control the various places.

Commander Yang Chang made the decision, and everyone around him had no different opinions, except Xiao Rang, who was hesitant to speak after hearing it.

Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Sun An and others, after receiving the order, went to their respective military camps to prepare, but Xiao Rang looked back three times at the last step.

Seeing his expression and posture, Yang Chang immediately guessed that the other party had something to say, so he asked to keep him.

"Brother Xiao, wait a minute."

"Brother Yang."

Seeing Xiao Rang turned around and bowed, his behavior was quite restrained.

Yang Chang put his arm around his shoulders and said jokingly, "Brother, you and I have become estranged. When I first arrived at Liangshan, I lived in the same room with you. If you have anything to say, you might as well speak up. Do you blame me for keeping you here?"

"No, no, no, Brother Yang misunderstood."

Xiao Rang waved his hands hurriedly. Hearing the past events of their stay together, he seemed to have returned to several years ago.

At that time, Yang Chang was still an unknown person, and Chao Gai was even unwilling to give him the position of leader. Who would have thought that in just a few short years, the former unknown person of Liangshan would have a prestige close to that of the leader Song Jiang, and even his martial arts would be among the best.

At first I thought he was a relative of mine, I really didn't recognize him.

"If it's not a misunderstanding, why is brother so unhappy?"

"Uh"

After being interrupted by Yang Chang, Xiao Rang explained with a bitter face: "You know my situation. I was originally just a scholar, and the only thing I can show is calligraphy. Now I am asked to act as the governor of the whole state, but I really feel that I am not up to the task."

"Hmm? Haha."

Yang Chang smiled as soon as he knew the reason, and then asked back: "It's not as difficult as you think. Last time I went to Hongdong for a few days, didn't my brother do well?"

"That's different. At that time, Wu Dutou and his men were there, and everyone had their own duties."

"Brother, don't underestimate yourself. In my opinion, governing a place is not difficult. Moreover, we are only temporarily in charge of a prefecture or county. We can just let it go. As long as we keep the place stable and restrain officials from exploiting the people and imposing corvée, they will fight for their livelihoods. How much will be left for you to worry about?"

"Coverage by doing nothing?"

When Xiao Rang repeated these words, Yang Chang patted his shoulder and sighed.

"Diligence does not necessarily benefit the people. The Song Dynasty had too many redundant officials. They had to work to get paid by the court, and then they used their power to make trouble for the people. The result was nothing but a mess."

"Hasn't it been like this since ancient times? Wolves eat sheep, and sheep eat grass."

"Brother is right, but the situation in Pingyang is different. Most of the officials appointed by Tian Hu in Pingyang fled here with Tian Biao. This is a rare period of power transition. Let the 'sheep' here eat the grass for a few months. Brother is a well-educated person. He must know that dynasties rise and fall, and there must be great peace after troubled times. In fact, they are all for recuperation."

"That makes sense. If that's the case, I should be able to do it well."

After Yang Chang's "guidance", Xiao Rang finally got the idea and felt more confident.

While Yang Chang was leading his army north to Hongdong, Lin Chong escorted Lu Junyi's army to Huoyi, and held a banquet with the garrison commander Xuan Zan to send them off.

Lu Junyi was well received along the way. As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who have helped him, so before leaving Huoyi, he took the initiative to leave Hao Siwen behind and guard Huoyi with Xuan Zan to serve as a transit point for supplies for the Northern Expedition Army.

On July 17, Yang Chang led 15,000 infantry and cavalry and met Cao Zheng's cavalry scouts from Yueyang five miles south of Hongdong.

Cao Zheng sent a cavalry scout to report: Wu Li led 30,000 troops out of Qinyuan and would soon arrive at the city of Hechuan. Cao Zheng led the Yueyang garrison to provide support.

Yang Chang was shocked when he heard this. There were 10,000 defenders in Hechuan and Yueyang, and most of them were newly recruited surrendered soldiers. It would be difficult to defend against Wuli's 30,000 troops.

If Wu Li left troops to hold back Hechuan and then attacked the empty Yueyang and Jishi from behind, Hechuan would become an isolated city.

Yang Changsui left Wu Song to guard Hongdong. He had to ensure that there were no problems with the Fenshui channel. He took the 15,000 men and rushed to Hechuan day and night to provide assistance.

It turned out that Tian Biao had been defeated in Linfen in the past, and the remnants of his troops fled all the way to Hechuan County to rest and recuperate. As soon as they arrived, they met Sun An who came to rescue Pingyang.

At that time, Tian Biao had lost his son and his land, and was in a depressed mood on the way to escape. He had no intention of accompanying Sun An to recapture Linfen. He was waiting for news of victory in Hechuan, but Sun An, who had high hopes for him, surrendered to the enemy and even sent people to persuade the counties of Pingyang to surrender.

Yang Chang is already strong, and with the traitor Sun An added to the mix, what a terrifying existence he would be!
Unable to stay in Hechuan, Tian Biao had to flee back to Qinzhou. Tian Hu knew that he had lost Zezhou, and now Pingyang, which was guarded by his brothers, was also lost, so he immediately summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

The imperial teacher Qiao Daoqing did not believe that Sun An had surrendered to the enemy, and was the first to volunteer to go and retake Pingyang. However, Tian Hu was worried that Qiao Daoqing had a past relationship with Sun An and did not agree. Later, the emperor's uncle Wu Li took charge.

Not long after Wu Li led his army to the battle, Shan Shiqi, the defender of Huguan, also sent someone to ask for help, saying bluntly that he could not stop Song Jiang's army. Tian Hu then sent Qiao Daoqing to Luzhou to repel the enemy.

Yang Chang then rushed to help Hechuan and arrived in Yueyang after traveling for a day and a night.

The area east of Yueyang is generally undulating with gullies, and is sandwiched between Hechuan and a vast mountainous area.

The official road between the two counties is a narrow canyon, which greatly reduces the marching speed.

Fortunately, the sunlight in the canyon is not strong, and there are mountain streams to provide water, which makes it very suitable for summer expedition.

Before entering the canyon, you need to rest and prepare.

So on July 18th, Yang Changling's army camped outside Yueyang City, planning to leave early the next morning.

At night, the lights in the tent flickered.

Yang Chang pointed to the map on the table and asked Sun An. Since he became the deputy pioneer, he has learned to read the map and consider the overall situation.

"This stretch of road is winding through the canyon. I wonder how long it will take to get to Hechuan?"

"A normal march will take three days, but if we march faster, two days will be fine. We don't have much baggage with us, so we should be able to reach the city of Hechuan by the early morning of the 21st at the latest."

"Yesterday morning, I received a request for help from Cao Zheng. Taking into account the time it took Hechuan to send the message to Yueyang, the Wuli army has been there for two days. If we arrive on the 21st, I wonder if Zhu Jieji can stop us."

"Hechuan Castle is not big, but at least we can wait for the enemy to tire out. It shouldn't be a problem to hold out for a few days. I'm just afraid."

Seeing that Sun An was hesitant to speak, Yang Chang looked over with an anxious look on his face.

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that General Zhu will attack, and the loss of soldiers and generals will affect the morale of the defenders."

"That shouldn't happen. Zhu Jieji is always calm and steady."

Yang Chang's frown relaxed immediately, and he pointed at two places on the map and asked, "The enemy and our forces are three times stronger than each other. Is it possible that Wu Li could send someone to take a detour and attack Yueyang or Ji?"

"Absolutely not."

Sun An shook his head like a rattle, then pointed at the map and explained, "The use of troops requires steady and steady action. A surprise attack from behind is very dangerous. If the supply line is cut off and if no city is captured, we will eventually starve to death or be destroyed. This area is full of mountains and valleys, so we can only advance slowly one city at a time. If I were Wu Li, I would go around and block the way to prevent the Hechuan defenders from breaking out for help, which would greatly undermine the defenders' fighting spirit."

"Oh"

Actual combat is very different from the game. Yang Chang feels a great responsibility as the commander. He can only sum up his experience while fighting and frequently ask for advice from people around him.

As the saying goes, there is always a teacher among three people. Through the discussion with Sun An just now, he came to a conclusion in his mind.

That is, if we cross the canyon the day after tomorrow and meet a scout reporting the news, it means that Wu Li has not cut off our retreat and the situation in Hechuan is not urgent enough. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous.

On the morning of the 19th, the sky was as dark as ink, just like dusk, but in fact it was still dark.

Yang Chang hadn't received any news from Hechuan in the past two days. He was anxious and didn't dare to sleep for long, so he urged his troops to march towards the valley early.

Because the valley was narrow, 15,000 people formed a long line and marched forward.

Taking the command coordination issue into consideration, Yang Chang appointed Sun An as the vanguard, let Lu Zhishen be in charge of the rear guard, and himself and Hu Sanniang were in the middle of the team.

After two days and one night of walking, the army finally crossed the narrow valley section and arrived at the slightly open Qinshui River Valley, only thirty miles away from Hechuan in the north.

Yang Changming ordered his army to rest on the spot and planned to march to Hechuan early the next morning. However, considering that there had been no news from Hechuan, he took the initiative to send scouts to the north for reconnaissance.

After nightfall, we cook.

By the time the aroma of rice wafted over the Qinshui River, the scouts that had been sent out earlier returned early and brought back the messenger from Hechuan.

Yang Chang still thought that Hechuan was safe, but the information from the messenger surprised him. It turned out that Wu Li had sent Princess Qiongying to go around and was currently stationed fifteen miles south of Hechuan.

Sun An was familiar with the terrain of this area and knew that it was the "bow"-shaped section of Qinshui River and the corner valley at the first turn, which was very suitable for front and rear sluice gates.

He was about to warn him, but Yang Chang stared at the messenger and asked curiously, "Since Qiongying is guarding the key position, how did you get here? Did General Zhu send a large army to cover the breakout?"

"No, General Zhu sent four people, but they were stopped halfway. I climbed over the hillside at midnight yesterday and lay dormant for a day before I passed the defense zone."

"Thank you for your hard work. How is Hechuan?"

"Wuli's siege was fierce. Generals Zhu and Cao were still holding on, but the soldiers and civilians in the city were a little panicked. General Meiyu went out to block Qiongying's circling, but was unfortunately killed by the female general."

"I understand. Let's go downstairs to eat and rest."

"Yes"

Yang Chang had a God's perspective and knew that Qiongying was a rare female general in Water Margin, and her martial arts were outstanding, so it was reasonable for her to kill a general, but Sun An was extremely shocked.

After the messenger left, Sun An paced back and forth, muttering to himself, "I've always known that Wu Li has a daughter who likes to wield spears and sticks, but I didn't expect her martial arts skills to be so high. Mei Yu must have some skills."

"Does Qiongying have any special skills? Like flying stones or hidden weapons?"

"Ok?"

Hu Sanniang looked at Yang Chang in surprise, wondering if the master knew her.
"I have never heard of this. Why do you ask this, General?"

"Haha, I just suddenly came across a Liangshan brother, so I randomly thought of her. I will naturally know about the battle tomorrow. Let's go and have dinner."

"okay."

Yang Chang made an excuse to evade the question. He thought that the timeline had been advanced, and perhaps Qiongying had not yet learned the flying stone in her dream? Then Zhang Qing would not be able to get away with it.

Qiongying was almost sixteen at this time. Since she was adopted by Wu Li, she must be at least not ugly. Now that her second brother Wu Song had lost his golden seal, could she become the matchmaker again?
Thinking of this, Yang Changqing couldn't help but smile like an aunt, but unfortunately was discovered by Hu Sanniang next to her.

"What do you think, sir?"

"The county lord."

"Ok?"

"No."

Yang Chang hesitated and quickly expressed his idea of ​​matchmaking: "Listen to me, my lady, that's not what I meant."

Hu Sanniang nodded in approval after hearing this, but immediately asked curiously, "From your tone just now, it seems that you know Princess Qiongying?"

"Haha, I heard Wang Yuan mention it by accident. This should not be a secret under Tian Hu's rule."

If Yang Chang hadn't reacted quickly and brought out the surrendered general Wang Yuan in time to block the knife, it would be difficult to explain the matter from a God's perspective.

Fortunately, Hu Sanniang did not continue to pester her, but she claimed that Qiongying was also a female general and demanded that she lead the battle tomorrow to capture her "sister-in-law".

Yang Chang knew that his wife was very competitive, so he naturally couldn't refuse her request.

July 21st, Mao time.

When Yang Chang led his troops to the enemy camp, Qiongying heard the news and had already deployed her troops, fully armed and waiting in front of the camp.

At this time, the sunlight shone into the valley, shining golden light on Yang Chang's armor. Combined with the majestic Zhaoye Jade Lion sitting on him and the equally shining phoenix-wing gold-plated halberd, he immediately became the most handsome guy in the crowd.

"General."

"Sir, I am leaving now."

"be careful."

“No need.”

Sun An originally wanted to volunteer to go into battle, but Hu Sanniang got there first.

From Yang Chang's white horse and golden armor, Qiongying had guessed that he might be the legendary Guangming Tianzun, but she did not expect that the other party would send a female general to fight.

You look down on me, right?

Hu Sanniang leaped in front of the battle formation holding a knife, and was startled to see Qiongying holding a Fang Tian Huaji. She then shouted, "Are you the Qiongying who killed Mei Yu?"

"and who are you?"

Qiongying was also looking at Hu Sanniang, and saw that she had a pretty face as a young woman in her prime, but she was wearing a dashing military uniform.

She couldn't bear to kill such a beautiful woman, so she held the Fang Tian Hua Ji across her chest and advised sternly: "You are no match for me, don't give up your life in vain, but let the golden armored general in the back come out to fight me."

"Hmm? If you want to fight him, ask the knife in my hand first!"

Hu Sanniang rode her horse and brandished her sword, heading straight for the arrogant Qiongying.

Once a woman's anger is ignited, it is not easy to extinguish.

Seeing that Hu Sanniang was ungrateful, Qiongying immediately rode forward with her halberd in hand, teasing her.

"You stupid woman who is seeking your own death, don't blame me for not liking the painted halberd."

"Bah, you self-righteous thief, you arrogant little whore, look out for the knife!"

Hu Sanniang slashed with both swords like fans, while Qiongying held up her painted halberd and stabbed first and then pushed back, defusing the first attack very skillfully. She then quickly drew back her halberd to counterattack, but was again blocked by Yizhangqing's left-handed sword.

This woman is not simple!
This thief bitch has some kung fu skills.

As soon as we fight, you can tell the strength of the opponent.

The two were cursing at each other before the fight, but now they have shut up and are focusing on the fight.

When women are too competitive, the fight often doesn't end simply. The two of them circled and fought for more than ten rounds, and it was evenly matched who was the better of them, and neither of them was nervous.

Yang Chang had used the Fang Tian Hua Ji before and knew that this weapon was very difficult to use. Qiongying was so young, but she was able to use a heavy weapon so fluently, which obviously showed that she was better than Hu Sanniang.

He was just hesitating whether to help or not, when Sun An beside him clasped his fists and reminded him: "General, I see that Madam Yang is too eager to take it down, and if we continue the battle for a long time, we will definitely suffer. Otherwise, I will go and replace her."

"I go!"

Before Sun An could finish his words, Yang Chang had already urged his horse to rush out like an arrow.

"Get out of the way, lady!"

"Miss?"

Zhaoye Jade Lion was fast, and Yang Chang was giving a reminder as he jumped on his horse. Hu Sanniang knew she could not defeat her opponent, so she drew her sword and blocked her painted halberd, and withdrew.

After a brief moment of surprise, Qiongying immediately turned her horse and raised her halberd to fight Yang Chang.

"Are you Chief Yang?"

"Have you heard my story?"

Yang Chang responded politely, without any less action on his hands. He started to hit her as soon as they met, without any mercy at all.

Qiongying was shocked by his speed and quickly grabbed the halberd handle to block it, but she didn't know that Yang Chang's strength was even more terrifying and she was almost knocked over by the boring cover.

"You guy"

"Hey, it's not over yet."

Without waiting for Qiongying to adjust her position, Yang Chang launched a lightning-fast sweep.

This guy is so terribly strong!
While Qiong Ying was shrinking and dodging, she made a bold decision. With her current twisted and crooked body position, she grasped the handle of the halberd and thrust forward swiftly.

He thought he could take out his opponent with one strike, but Yang Chang was an expert at using the halberd. When he saw the halberd coming towards his heart, he easily dodged it by turning sideways.

How could he.
Qiongying was just surprised by Yang Chang's exaggerated reaction when he suddenly freed his left hand to grab the halberd handle and then pulled it to his left rear.

The girl immediately couldn't withstand the traction, and her petite body lost control in the blink of an eye. By the time she came to her senses and tried to let go, her body was already half in the air.

When Yang Chang saw Qiongying being pulled off the horse, he took the initiative to let go of the weapon he was using to gain leverage and instead grabbed the girl's arm.

Pull, lift, and press.

The ape's arms stretch out lightly, like flowing clouds and running water.

Qiongying, who was so arrogant just now, was pinned down on the horse by Yang Chang.
