The Song army gathered on the campus, and there was a lot of discussion. The scene was noisy, and everyone thought that the commander had decided to break out. Some people were excited, some were nervous, and some were sighing.
The drumming stopped, and a group of people appeared on the general stage directly in front. The officers and soldiers of the Song Army stopped whispering and looked towards the general stage. They saw the supervisor Zhao Quan and General Long Cheng standing on the general stage surrounded by a group of heavily armored sergeants. However, they did not see the figure of the general. I couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Zhao Quan held up the commander's seal and said loudly: "The commander-in-chief suddenly contracted a serious illness and was unable to take charge of the affairs. Now, I will temporarily take charge of the military affairs!" When the soldiers heard that the commander-in-chief suddenly contracted a serious illness and was unable to take office, they immediately became commotion, and almost everyone People's faces showed panic and bewilderment. The reason why the Song Army was able to persevere after suffering heavy losses was mainly due to the existence of Cao Yong. Cao Yong had a high prestige in the army. With him, despite the dangerous situation, the soldiers were still able to persevere. It can be said that Cao Yong was the reason why the Song Army could persevere. The spiritual pillar to persevere. Now I suddenly heard that my spiritual support had collapsed, and my morale was immediately on the verge of collapse.
When Zhao Quan saw this scene, not only was he not worried, but he was secretly happy. He raised his voice and said: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me!" The soldiers fell silent and looked at Zhao Quan to see what he had in mind.
Zhao Quan said: "Brothers, we have fallen into a desperate situation. If we cannot find a way out as soon as possible, within five days, even if the Yanyun army outside the city does not come to attack, we will starve to death!" The soldiers started to commotion. Everyone was extremely frightened, and several generals frowned. They really didn’t understand why the Lord Supervisor spoke like this. As a result, morale collapsed and things became even more out of control!
Zhao Quan continued: "Now there is only one way to survive!" At this point, he paused deliberately. The soldiers shouted one after another: "Sir, what are you talking about as a way to survive? Please help us!"
Zhao Quan said: "Sooner or later, Yan Yun will dominate the world, just like the Han Dynasty was bound to replace the Qin Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was bound to succeed the Sui Dynasty. This is an inevitable destiny, and no human power can stop it! However, the official family of Zhao and Song Dynasties could not make the people live and work in peace and contentment, but made it worse. Corrupt officials are rampant, the people are like dogs and sheep, and the water is in dire straits. Brothers here, have any of you ever received even the slightest benefit from the official family of Zhao Song? Which family is not in extreme hardship, suffering from the bullying of the local squire bullies and the royal family!"
After hearing what he said, the soldiers couldn't help but get excited. Many people shouted, and the most intense one even shouted the slogan of killing the emperor and rebelling! Several generals in the crowd saw that the momentum was not right, and their expressions changed drastically. However, the army's rebellious heart had obviously been aroused. If they stepped forward to stop it at this time, I am afraid that not only would they not be able to stop it, but they would ruin one of their own lives. Therefore, several generals who were still loyal to Zhao Song did not speak out! The rebellious clamor at the scene became more and more loud, and in the end it seemed to have formed a roaring wave that could no longer be contained!
Seeing that things were developing more smoothly than he expected, Zhao Quan was overjoyed and raised his right hand high. When the soldiers saw this, they stopped shouting and looked at him. A mid-level officer said loudly: "Sir, let's go to Yanyun! I have long heard that there is food and clothing in Yanyun, and there are no corrupt officials. I also want to live in a place like that!" Countless officers and soldiers echoed.
Zhao Quan said loudly: "That's what I want to say!" The campus became quiet. Zhao Quan continued: "In order to save the 100,000 soldiers here, and to save the people of Jiangnan from suffering in dire straits, I am willing to bear the name of disloyalty! Today, I will lead you to defect to Yanyun." ! From now on, everyone can live a good life!" One hundred thousand soldiers cheered in unison. Seeing this scene, several generals loyal to Zhao Song couldn't help but change their attitude, feeling that it was not a bad thing to defect to Yan Yun.
Immediately, Zhao Quan led the army out of the city from the south gate, which had been controlled by Fang Yue and Li Shanhe. When they arrived at the Yanyun Army's camp, they dropped their weapons and surrendered to the Yanyun Army.
Seeing this scene, Yelu Hanyu felt that it was an unexpected joy. Then he wondered why Cao Yong, who was more stubborn than the stones in the latrine, suddenly became enlightened. Yelu Hanyu was fully clothed and led all the soldiers out of the camp to accept the surrender of the Song army. Seeing that the general standing at the front was not Cao Yong, I couldn't help but feel very strange. Then my heart moved and I thought of the reason. He glanced at the soldiers of the Song Army and said loudly: "I am very happy that you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light! Each of you will be rewarded with one tael of silver!" The soldiers of the Song Army were originally trembling, worried about how Yan Yun's army would deal with them, but now they heard that the beautiful The princess said that she would reward everyone with a tael of silver, and her worries immediately disappeared, and they all kowtowed in thanks.
Immediately, Yanyun's army entered Chenzhou under the leadership of Zhao Quan and others. Yelu Hanyu raised his tent in the Chenzhou Mansion Yamen. He first commended Zhao Quan and others, and still made them the commander-in-chief of the Song army. Zhao Quan and others were overjoyed and kowtowed in thanks. Immediately, Yelu Hanyu ordered Shi Liancheng to be the commander-in-chief of the South Route Army, and led the fourth and fifth legions from Qitianling south to Guangnan East Road, cooperating with the navy to sweep into the Guangdong and Guangxi areas; while he and Duan Zhixian led the other two legions and surrendered. The Song army came to help Hongzhou. The order was given, and the army rested for one night in Chenzhou and immediately launched into action.
The fighting in the south was temporarily put aside, and the focus turned back to the north.
Yeqi Hucheng could not help but become anxious as it received no good news from other directions this time. On this day, the generals and military advisor Jiang Tong gathered in Yeqi Hucheng and said: "We have not received good news from other directions. We can't wait like this any longer!" Everyone looked at each other and said nothing. Everyone felt that the king must have thought of the army's frontal attack, and subconsciously felt that such an attack would probably outweigh the gains and losses. However, they thought so in their hearts but did not dare to say it out loud.
Jiang Tong cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, you might as well bear with me a little longer!" Ye Qi Hucheng frowned and said nothing. He looked at Jiang Tong and said, "You are a military advisor, please think of a way to break the current deadlock!"
Jiang Tongtong said: "Your Majesty, waiting for other directions to attack Yanyun's mansion and moving Yanyun's army away is the best strategy! Now we are waiting for the battle situation from other directions to be reported. Your Majesty, please be patient. Wait for a while!" Yeli Hucheng stood up and paced back and forth. He had a bad premonition in his heart, but he didn't want to say it out. He stopped and murmured: "Okay! Just wait a little longer!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Yeqianhucheng suddenly said angrily: "What makes me most angry is the Korean army! Two hundred thousand Korean troops attacked Longmen Mountain guarded by 20,000 to 30,000 Yanyun troops. After so many days, there has been no progress! These Koreans They all grew up eating shit!" All the generals also rushed to get angry and yelled and cursed one after another.
At the Yanyun Army tent in Niulan Mountain, Yang Peng read the secret report he had just received and smiled slightly. He stood up, walked to the map, looked at the map and thought about it. Then Mi Kan returned to the desk, put down the secret report, picked up the letter paper, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and started writing quickly. After a while, a letter was written, the ink was dried, folded, and put into an envelope. There was no name of the recipient on the letter, so he called a secret guard, handed the letter to him, and ordered: "Send someone immediately to deliver this letter to Du Cai." The secret guard agreed and took it with both hands. He wrote the letter and ran down. Du Cai, who has already appeared in the previous article, is the Yanyun spy lurking in Shangjing of Liao Kingdom as a businessman.
Goryeo veteran Li Fengxian led an army of 200,000 to the foot of Longmen Mountain. He originally planned to attack, but a secret letter made him give up this plan. This is also the main reason why the 200,000 Korean troops have not made any progress for so many days.
On this day, veteran general Li Fengxian received a strict order from Yeqian Hucheng. The order was very stern and ordered him to capture Longmen Mountain within five days, otherwise he would be punished by military law. Li Fengxian frowned, holding the piece of order and pacing back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back.
The sound of footsteps came from the door. Jin Wanzai, Height, Li Long and other Goryeo generals came in and worshiped together: "Old General!" Li Fengxian stopped, raised the order in his hand, and said: "Yeqihu City" Another order was sent, strictly ordering us to capture Longmen Mountain within five days, otherwise we will be punished by military law!"
The generals couldn't help but frown, and Jin Wanzai couldn't help shouting: "What kind of military punishment! We are the Goryeo army, not the Khitan army!" When the generals heard this, their expressions changed. Li Fengxian sighed and said quietly: "Where is there any Goryeo nowadays! Haven't you seen that our homeland has been distributed to the Khitan nobles by the Queen Mother of the Liao Kingdom?" The generals were filled with grief and anger. No words were spoken, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.
Li Fengxian glanced at the generals and asked: "Do you want to be the general of the Khitan people forever, or do you want to be the general of our own Goryeo?" The generals clasped their fists without thinking and said: "Of course I have to do it. Return our own general from Goryeo!"
Li Fengxian showed admiration, nodded and said: "Okay! You are very good! You are indeed a good man of our Goryeo, with backbone!" Jin Wanzai frowned and said: "But now that our Goryeo no longer exists, how can we do it again? The general of Goryeo?" Li Fengxian's eyes radiated with astonishing light and said: "Our Goryeo army is still there, so the Goryeo Kingdom has not been destroyed!"
The generals immediately realized something, and they all looked shocked, and then they all showed excitement. Li Fengxian took out the secret letter he had received before, handed it to Jin Wanzai, and said: "This is the secret letter from our Emperor Goryeo. Take a look!" The eyes of all the generals lit up. Jin Wanzai He quickly took the letter with both hands, took out the letter paper, unfolded it, and started reading.
After Jin Wanzai read the secret letter, he passed it on to others and said suddenly: "I said that the old general led us to Longmen Mountain, but he delayed the attack. It turned out to be His Majesty's secret order!" Li Fengxian nodded. Everyone looked very excited after reading the secret letter, and Li Long returned the secret letter to Li Fengxian. Li Fengxian carefully put away the secret letter, glanced at the generals, and said, "Do you all understand His Majesty's intentions?"
The generals nodded, and Jin Wanzai said with admiration: "Your Majesty is wise. Seeing that the main force of the Liao Kingdom is now restrained by the Yanyun Army and unable to take care of him, it is a great opportunity to regain our Korea!"
He asked impatiently: "Old General, when will we take action?" Li Fengxian frowned and said: "There is a problem here, and that is your Majesty's safety. If we suddenly raise troops to go east, it will definitely cause the Liao court to be alarmed. I feel that Your Majesty is in danger!"
The generals couldn't help but show worries. Li Long asked: "What should we do?" Gao Gao said: "Should we send someone to enter Shangjing secretly first and rescue His Majesty first, and then we can take action?"
Li Fengxian shook his head and said: "This is not possible. Although this can ensure the safety of His Majesty, it will also arouse the vigilance of the Liao Kingdom and take action. Our army's plan to return eastward to take back our homeland unexpectedly will come to nothing!"
The generals looked at each other, and Jin Wanzai frowned and said: "In other words, the action to rescue His Majesty and the action of our army returning eastward must be carried out at the same time?" Li Fengxian nodded, "That's it." Jin Wanzai said: "That's right. It’s easy to handle. Let’s agree on a date for the operation with His Majesty first, and then send people to sneak into Shangjing. When the time comes, both sides will take action at the same time!”
Li Fengxian said: "Your Majesty sent someone to confirm the time with me two days ago. Now when the time comes, we can take action!" He was highly surprised and said: "Could it be that the Korean businessman who came two days ago was the one sent by your Majesty? The secret envoy who came?" Li Fengxian nodded, "That's him! The time your Majesty and I have determined is five days later. During this period, we must be prepared and keep it strictly confidential! You should know that once the news is leaked, this matter will The great mission will surely fall short, and your majesty and we will also suffer disaster!" All the generals were shocked and agreed together. Li Fengxian added: "Only you can know this matter for the time being, and we cannot reveal anything to other generals! I can't fully trust them yet!" The generals agreed.
Just as the undercurrent of the northern battlefield was surging, the battle in the south was in full swing.
Liu Guangshi led an army of 200,000 to attack Hongzhou (Nanchang) for many days, but could not break the city. Liu Guangshi could not help but be furious. This morning Liu Guangshi gathered all his troops and attacked Hongzhou City from all sides. The Yanyun Army defending Hongzhou only had 30,000 Hanzhong troops. It was very commendable that they could persist until this point. Now facing the desperate attacks from all directions by the Song Army, they gradually became unable to withstand it! The soldiers of the Song Army continued to scale the city wall from all sides, and the gap in the city wall widened at a speed visible to the naked eye! Seeing the critical situation, Yang Qi and Qiong Ying led their personal guards to go to the bloody battle. When the soldiers saw the princess going to the battlefield to fight in person, the soldiers' morale was boosted. Everyone worked bravely and competed for the lead. However, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. , and the Song Army was already red-blooded. The Yan Yun Army was unable to reverse the defeat at all. After a fierce counterattack like a flashback, it retreated at a faster speed!
When Liu Guangshi saw that the city was about to be destroyed, he couldn't help laughing. He couldn't help but think in his heart: 'I heard that the princesses in the city are all rare beauties, but I can't fall in love with them. After the city is destroyed, they will be included in the account! 'I couldn't help but feel excited when I thought about the obscenity, and I couldn't help but swallow. After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly said to the herald: "The order goes down and Princess Yanyun must be captured alive!" The herald agreed, rode his horse to the foot of the city wall, and shouted loudly: "The commander-in-chief has an order, and Princess Yanyun must be captured alive!" ! The commander-in-chief has ordered that Princess Yan must be captured alive!..."
Yang Qi and Yang Erya, who were fighting with the enemy, were very angry when they heard such shouts. Yang Qi chopped down a Song Army officer who rushed towards him with one knife, and smiled at Yang Erya who was not far away: "Sister Yang Erya, they want to capture us alive!" Yang Erya snorted and looked towards the outside of the city. Song Jun Shuaiqi took one look and said proudly: "If the city is destroyed, how can we sisters live in an ignoble existence and bring shame to my eldest brother!" As he spoke, he chopped down a Song Jun soldier to the ground with a knife. Yang Qi nodded and was about to speak when a sharp arrow suddenly flew up from the city and pierced Yang Qi's chest with a pop. Yang Qi fell to the ground with a groan. Yang Erya was shocked when he saw this. He rushed over, picked up Yang Qi, and shouted: "Sister, sister..." Yang Erya spat out a mouthful of blood, looking very painful.
At this moment, there was a huge commotion from the west city gate. Yang Erya was startled and quickly turned to look towards the West City Gate. He saw a billowing wave of soldiers and flags pouring into the city. The West City Gate defense line had been lost!
Yang Qi grabbed Yang Erya's arm and said: "Sister, the city can't be defended anymore. Leave me alone and break out quickly!" Yang Erya pursed her lips tightly and shook her head, and immediately called the female guard to lift Yang Qi up. , and immediately prepared to order the entire army to break out. In fact, even if we want to break through at this moment, it will be difficult! At this point, more than half of the 30,000 Hanzhong County troops have been lost, and the rest are either injured or exhausted. Under such circumstances, faced with an encirclement of 200,000 enemy troops, it can be said to be extremely difficult to break out of the encirclement!
Yang Erya ordered to the generals around him: "Send the order and the whole army breaks out to the west!" Several generals agreed and ran down. The Yanyun troops at various defense lines gave up their defense and broke out to the west. Fierce battles broke out with the Song army in the city. The exhausted and scarred Yanyun troops were annihilated one after another, and blood flew in the streets and alleys. , Yanyun soldiers fell into a pool of blood one by one! However, the Song Army did not take advantage. Often, killing a Sergeant Yan Yun would cost him one or more lives!
More and more Song troops poured in from the four city gates, and Yan Yun's army could not break out. The remaining army could only protect Yang Erya and Yang Qi and retreat to the government office. Liu Guangshi personally led a large army to surround the government office. An officer rushed to Liu Guangshi's horse and reported: "Commander, the Princess of Yan is inside!" Liu Guangshi's eyes lit up and he shouted inside: "Princess, don't be afraid! I, Liu Guangshi, love the beauty and cherish the jade. , will not hurt you!" Yang Erya and Yang Qi were furious. Yang Qi spat out a mouthful of blood in anger and fainted. Yang Erya was frightened to death when he saw this and quickly called a female medical officer for treatment.
Liu Guangshi continued to shout: "Yanyun is bound to perish under the siege of our six countries! Following Yang Peng will only lead to death! Why not follow me, Liu Guangshi, to ensure that you will have endless glory and wealth in your life!" Song Army soldiers They all laughed wildly. The remaining Yanyun soldiers were extremely angry and wanted to rush out to fight the enemy!
Seeing the two female medical officers busy, Yang Erya hurriedly asked: "Sister, how is she?"
A female medical officer clasped her fists and said, "To tell you the truth, Yang Qi was seriously injured, but his life is not in danger for the time being." Yang Erya couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard that her life was not in danger for the time being. At this time, I heard Liu Guangshi talking nonsense outside, and I couldn't help but feel extremely angry. I immediately left the hall and climbed onto the wall of the government office.
Liu Guangshi suddenly saw a stunningly beautiful female general appearing on the wall. What he was saying couldn't help but stop abruptly. He stared blankly at Qiong Ying and shouted in his heart: "It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful. !" When he came back to his senses, his desire for the two Princess Yanyun became even stronger, and he shouted loudly: "The young lady must have figured it out and wants to come to me!" The Song Army soldiers laughed. stand up.
Yang Erya smiled coldly, pulled out two flying knives, and suddenly threw them at Liu Guangshi. When Liu Guangshi was in a daze, he never expected that the opponent would suddenly fly towards him. When he realized what he was doing, the two cold lights were already very close at hand! Liu Guangshi was so frightened that he hurriedly rolled off his horse and hid in embarrassment. As soon as his shock subsided, he felt extremely humiliated. He pointed at Qiong Ying on the city wall and shouted hysterically: "If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined! Come on, attack me, attack!"
The Song Army's war drums sounded loudly, and the army was about to attack. Qiongying frowned and said secretly: Brother, my little sister wants to say goodbye to you forever!
Woo hoo hoo... the sound of the horn suddenly came from the distance. The soldiers on both sides of the city were startled when they suddenly heard this voice. Yang Erya's face showed a look of surprise, and then she felt unbelievable. At this time, the sound of the horn came again, obviously much closer than before! At this time, Yang Erya was sure that it was not an illusion, but real. He couldn't help shouting in joy: "It's our horn sound! The reinforcements are coming! The reinforcements are coming!" Yan Yun's soldiers cheered one after another.
Song Jun outside the government office became panicked and looked at a loss. Liu Guangshi shouted in panic: "What's going on?" At this moment, several generals under his command ran over in panic, and ignored the salutes, shouting out of control: "No, no, no, no!" ! Yan Yun Army, Yan Yun Army has entered the city!" As if in response to their words, loud rumblings and earth-shattering shouts came from all directions, like thunder and tsunami, and the Song Army soldiers became even more panicked.
Immediately, I saw countless Song Army soldiers running in panic in the surrounding streets and alleys. From a distance, I could see the surging Yanyun battle flags, and the surging swords and guns, roaring and approaching!
Just when the soldiers of the Song Army were panicking, the sound of war drums suddenly came from the government office. The soldiers of the Song Army were startled, and then they saw the stunningly beautiful Princess Yan leading hundreds of Yanyun remnants to kill them. The Song army collapsed at the first touch, and wolves rushed in all directions. At this time, Yanyun's army rushed out from the streets and alleys on all sides, besieging the collapsed Song army!
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
