Seeing that they were in a desperate situation, some generals who did not want to die in vain suggested to Zhongshidao that they might as well surrender to the Jin Kingdom or Xixia like the Zhe family.
It turned out that when the Jin Kingdom invaded before, the Zhejia Army, as an army on the border like the Western Army, could not resist the Jin people, and even their hometown was captured by the Jin people, so they had no choice but to surrender to the Jin Kingdom.
In order to attract more Song officials to surrender, the Jin people did not embarrass Zhejia and allowed him to continue to command the original Zhejia army.
Now these generals feel that if Zhong Shidao leads them to surrender, they can at least save their lives and not be trapped and die in Xingqing Mansion.
However, Zhong Shidao could be said to be loyal to the Song Dynasty. Even though he was now facing a desperate situation, he refused to follow the advice of his subordinates and surrender to Xixia and Jin. Instead, he directly beheaded the generals who persuaded him to surrender.
After Zhong Shidao decisively killed several surrendering generals, it seemed that the morale of the military in Xingqing Mansion had been stabilized, but in fact, the soldiers in the city knew very well that if the emperor did not send reinforcements, their situation would be There will be no fundamental change. When Xingqing Mansion can no longer hold on, they may not care about their loyalty. In order to save their own lives, they can only surrender to the Xixia people.
While Zhong Shidao led tens of thousands of remnants of the Western Army in Xingqing Mansion to resist the fierce attack of the Xixia people, Ye Tianlong finally captured the wall of Hangzhou City after five or six days of strong attack. , began to enter the city and engage in fierce street fighting with the enemy.
After all, Hangzhou City is the base camp of Fang La's army, so they have restrained their behavior in harming the people here. This is why the people in Hangzhou City have not completely separated from Fang La's army, so that they can still retreat after the city wall is captured. Enter the city and engage in street fighting.
However, the soldiers of the Qinglong Empire are better than those of the Fang La Army in terms of equipment and cultivation. Therefore, even if the Fang La Army relies on the complex terrain in the city to engage in street fighting, it is still completely at a disadvantage, and its living space is being gradually occupied by the enemy. Compression, it is estimated that in a few days, it will be completely compressed with no way to escape.
Fang Tianding also felt very desperate about this. In these days of fierce fighting, he could see with his own eyes how powerful the Qinglong Empire army was. Among them, there was one black guy in particular, which impressed him particularly deeply. Even the other enemy generals No matter how powerful it is, you will get tired after playing for a long time. But the big black-faced man holding two axes was like a ferocious beast in human form. Not only was he extremely ferocious during the fighting, but he also seemed not to feel tired. At the longest time, the guy fought for a whole day, alone. Then he killed more than 3,000 soldiers under his command.
Now there are only more than 40,000 soldiers under his command, and most of the generals under his command have been lost. Even the four generals have lost Nanli General Shi Bao. As for the deputy generals, , a total of thirteen people were injured, namely Li Tianyou, Wu Zhi, Tang Fengshi, Wang Ji, Yuan Xing, Yao Yi, Cui Yu, Lian Ming, Zhang Tao, Su Jing, Mi Quan, Bei Yingkui and Fengyi .
Several of the remaining eleven lieutenants were seriously injured and did not have much combat effectiveness at all.
What makes Fang Tianding most desperate is that up to now, no reinforcements have arrived. They seem to have been half abandoned and can only fight alone here.
What Fang Tianding didn't know was that in fact, several waves of reinforcements had come in these days, but they were all eliminated by Ye Tianlong's troops who had ambushed on the road in advance. About 150,000 enemy troops had been killed one after another, and the enemy generals also Five people were killed, namely Wu Sheng, Bai Qin, Cheng Gui, the general manager of Yuzhaolongdu, Xie Fu and Wu Yingxing, the right deputy manager of Xizhulong. In addition, three enemy generals were captured alive, namely Xiaoyang Youji, Pang Wanchun, Jiang Yin and Xia Houcheng.
As a result, because Fang Tianding was young and ignorant, he thought he had been abandoned by his father! So today, when Ye Tianlong went to persuade him to surrender before the attack, the prince of Wu actually came out holding a white flag and surrendered.
Ye Tianlong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately sent people to collect all the surrendered enemy troops.
Among the surrendered enemy troops, those ordinary soldiers were actually looked down upon by Ye Tianlong at all. Many of them had to be eliminated from the army later, but there were indeed several fierce generals among those generals!
The strongest among them are naturally the National Preceptor Deng Yuanjue of Baoguang Tathagata, the General Zhenguo Li Tianrun and the General Protector Si Xingfang. There are also eleven deputy generals, namely Zhao Yi, Huang Ai, Chao Zhong, Xue Dounan, Leng Gong, Zhang Jian, Wen Kerang, Mao Di, Wang Ren, Xu Bai and Zhang Daoyuan.
After taking the city of Hangzhou, Fang La's army could be said to have lost its momentum, and Ye Tianlong then marched much more calmly. After three days of repairs in Hangzhou City, we continued our journey. As for the city of Hangzhou, 50,000 militiamen were left to garrison it.
After marching for more than two days, the army arrived at Dusong Pass. There were originally 30,000 defenders and three defenders here. However, one of the enemy generals, Wu Sheng, brought 10,000 troops to Hangzhou for support. The result was not only All the soldiers and horses under his command were wiped out, and Dong Ping himself was killed on the spot by double spears.
So now there are only 20,000 defenders and two enemy generals left in Dusong Pass. According to Shi Qian's investigation, the two enemy generals are Jiang Yin and Wei Heng respectively. Their force value is not high, that is, they are third-rate warriors. level.
After learning about this situation, Ye Tianlong first sent people to persuade them to surrender. If they could successfully persuade them to surrender again, it would prevent both sides from continuing to fight and increase casualties.
Perhaps because they had already learned that Prince Fang Tianding had surrendered, and because Dusongguan had only a few soldiers, there was no chance of winning against the Qinglong Empire's army, so Jiang Yin and Wei Heng decided to simply Kaicheng surrendered.
Ye Tianlong was very happy to see these two people being so aware of current affairs. He personally received the two generals and told them that as long as they serve the Qinglong Empire well in the future, various rewards will be absolutely necessary.
After leaving 20,000 militiamen to garrison at Dusong Pass, Ye Tianlong led his army to continue advancing and soon entered Muzhou. There is an extremely dangerous Wulong Ridge here. In the original plot, the Liangshan Army suffered heavy losses here. So Ye Tianlong sent several partial divisions to attack other counties, and he himself led the main army to attack Wulong Ridge.
Because many cities had been captured before, many enemy generals gathered in Wulong Ridge, including Jingde, Jinlinlong Deputy General Manager Zhai Yuan, Chongbolong Zuo Deputy Manager Qiao Zheng, Bao Daoyi , Zheng Biao, Tan Gao and others also have more than 60,000 soldiers and horses.
In order to capture Wulong Ridge, Ye Tianlong sent many soldiers recruited from the former Kingdom of Rodok. These soldiers have grown up in the mountains. In this kind of terrain, they can be said to be walking on flat ground. Bring out the strongest combat effectiveness.
Before the war started, Ye Tianlong also sent people to persuade him to surrender as usual, but the only ones who managed to escape all the way here were some die-hard elements who had no intention of surrendering at all. Some even wanted to shoot the soldiers who came to persuade them to surrender. Fortunately, the soldier Escape quickly so you don't lose your life.
Seeing how ignorant these guys were, Ye Tianlong immediately launched a fierce attack on Wulong Ridge, even sending out high-level troops that had rarely been used before.
Finally, after five days of fierce fighting, Ye Tianlong finally completely eliminated the group of enemy troops entrenched on Wulong Ridge and was able to continue advancing.
Not long after advancing this time, another checkpoint stood in front of the army. This checkpoint was called Yuling Pass. It was regarded as the last barrier for Fang La's army, because after breaking this checkpoint, the enemy could kill them. Fang La’s hometown is Qingxi County.
Therefore, there were more than 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed in this pass, including five generals, namely Lei Jiong, Ji Ji, the emperor's uncle, Wang Fang, Shangshu Wang Yin, and minister Gao Yu.
As a result, Ye Tianlong easily captured this pass without much effort, because Shi Qian, who arrived here early, took the risk to contact the two original guards of Yuling Pass, Lei Jiong and Ji Ji, and persuaded them to join the Qinglong Empire.
These two people probably felt that Fang La's army was retreating steadily, and most of the territory was occupied by the Qinglong Empire. The Wu Kingdom established by Fang La probably wouldn't exist for a few more days, so they accepted Shi Qian's persuasion and secretly defected. Qinglong Empire.
After Ye Tianlong's army arrived at Yuling Pass, the two men immediately launched a mutiny with their troops. Among them, the emperor's uncle, Wang Fang, was killed on the spot, while Shangshu Wang Yin and minister Gao Yu were injured and captured.
After capturing Yuling Pass, Ye Tianlong left 20,000 militiamen to garrison here, and then went non-stop towards Qingxi County, Fang La's hometown.
As a result, when Ye Tianlong arrived in Qingxi County, Fang La's army heard the news and escaped in time. After all, this was Fang La's hometown, and the Fang family was very powerful here, so many people were willing to tip them off.
"They have retreated to Bangyuan Cave! Keep chasing me, I don't believe they can keep running!"
After asking where Fang Lajun escaped, Ye Tianlong led the army to continue the pursuit, and finally it took only two days to catch up to Bangyuan Cave.
It is said that there are still more than 50,000 elites of Fang La's army here. In addition to Fang La, there are also Fang Jie, Du Wei, Lou Minzhong, Zu Shiyuan, Pu Wenying, He Conglong and Fang Baihua.
After Ye Tianlong led his troops to Bangyuan Cave, he routinely sent people to persuade him to surrender. Unfortunately, the soldier shouted for a long time but saw no response from Bangyuan Cave.
Ye Tianlong was also angered by the other party's indifferent attitude. These were a group of desperate rebels, and they were still pretending to him. He was not used to such people.
So he immediately sent people to collect a lot of firewood around, and then sent the soldier with the loud voice to shout into Bangyuan Cave: "Fang La, if you don't hide in the cave anymore, we will set fire to it. I’ll burn you all alive inside.”
After hearing this shout, there was finally movement in the group of Yuandong. First, a group of about a thousand heavy armored infantry opened the way, and then Fang La led the last few generals under his command and rode out on war horses. Bangyuan Cave.
Ye Tianlong looked at Fang La curiously and found that he had a face with Chinese characters, and his face was calm and intimidating. It was no wonder that he was able to raise such a large rebel army in such a short period of time. Unfortunately, after all, his ability and foresight were still a bit lacking. After the uprising had just achieved some results, he began to be complacent and enjoy himself. He established a country and proclaimed himself an emperor early, and his control over his soldiers also quickly decreased, causing many Fang La Army soldiers to start fighting in various places. The unscrupulous oppression of the people caused the original rebel army to quickly become bandits and completely lose the support of the people.
