Chapter 690: The Yellow Sparrow is behind

Wanyan Zheng was not so much surrendering to the Song army as it was ...... Surrendered to the thunderous Western Regions cannon in the hands of the Song army.

Wan Yan Zheng, who was helped by two subordinates to walk under the city wall, not only still still had the deafening thunder in his ears, which almost deafened his ears, but it was as if the city wall under his feet was still trembling in the sound of the powerful rumbling cannon.

The Western Regions cannon had stopped as soon as the Song army attacked the city wall, watching the Song army, which was like the tide and the zombies in the game in the later generations, attacked the city head and poured into the city gate, the string that was tense in Ye Qing's heart was finally completely relaxed.

is different from every time he fights, this siege can be said to be the first time that he Ye Qing has really come to the battlefield since he came to this era.

Whether it was in Wuzhou, or in the grassland, or in Western Xia, even in Dali, there was not a single battlefield battle that could make him feel the pressure on his shoulders like today.

Siege of the city, like a road of no return, maybe for others, if the siege fails, you can withdraw the troops, and for Ye Qing, once you fail, he, a young imperial commander, will lose not only the military heart, but also the potential danger of being ruined and ruined, as well as being overtaken by Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun.

The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers were in his hands, their shouts of killing, the blood shed, and the lives of those who died in battle, each of them was because of their trust in Ye Qing, and every fresh life was like an awl piercing his heart.

War is cruel, either you die or I die, everyone understands this sentence, but when you really grasp thousands of fresh lives in your hands, you can realize that the burden of thousands of pounds on your shoulders, as well as the cold-blooded cruelty on the battlefield, is completely a fight and gladiatorial fight between animals without seven emotions and six desires, which is really not the pressure that ordinary people can bear.

The moment he stepped out of the watchtower car, Ye Qingzhen had a feeling of being in a different world, a real victory, and it was difficult for him to hide the great joy and pride in his heart.

The sound of horses' hooves galloped in, and the sound of fighting still continued in the city, Ye Qingqiang resisted the urge to shake hands with someone, and looked at Xin Qijian galloping on horseback.

Without waiting for the war horse to stop, Xin Qiji "rolled" off the horse: "Dutong, the city is broken!" …… We...... We defeated the Golden Man. ”

"Break the city! Town! Ye Qing took a deep breath and clenched his fists back and forth involuntarily, although there were more difficult wars waiting for him behind, but the good news was that at least they took this step and completed a real victory on the battlefield.

Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun looked at Xin Qiji, who was extremely excited, and then looked at Ye Qing, who was extremely calm, but their mood at the moment was mixed, and for a while, the will of the court in their hands did not dare to hand it to Ye Qing at this time.

The artillery of the Western Regions withdrew silently, as if it was a heavenly soldier and a general, falling from the sky, and then disappearing in place.

When Ye Qing led Xin Qiji and the others to start the process, Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun had to find an excuse to go in the direction where Xin Qiji was running just now.

The weeds were overgrown, and the trampled mess was not left with even a single residue, and there was nothing left in the empty wilderness except for the weeds that had been trampled down.

"It's ......." Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun looked at each other again, and their plan to find out was frustrated

They had to re-examine it again, and they had already re-examined the Imperial Capital system that they didn't know how many times.

"He's guarding against us, and he's letting these people withdraw so quickly!" Li Zhixiao looked at a messy and empty wilderness, and said a little unwillingly.

"So he knows what we're ...... It seems that we can't sit still, otherwise the situation in the court will be even more unfavorable to Master Shi. Hong Zun muttered.

"Yes...... But he actually won, didn't he? Li Zhixiao said helplessly.

"So what, even if the city is broken? Whether he can hold it, who to send to defend it, how to defend it, when the army will start again, how to deal with the surrendered army, and how to settle the people, are all difficult problems waiting for him. It's easy to break the city, but it's even more difficult to defend the city, as long as the imperial court doesn't send appeased officials over, how can it be so easy for him Ye Qing to defend this city? Hong Zun pulled out a piece of grass and bit it into his mouth as if venting.

"Perhaps...... Zhou Duanchao can try to win it over, some time ago he was in Yangzhou with Liu Dexiu, and now because of the war, he was finally suppressed by Ye Qing, but ...... After all, it's not his Ye Qing's person. Li Zhixiao also said with a sneer.

"That's nature." Hong Zun smiled, and said with a smug glint in his eyes: "Zhou Duanchao is the commander of the grain and grass battalion appointed by Ye Qing, and Zhou Duanchao has already been dissatisfied with this, if it is ......." ”

Speaking of this, Hong Zun looked at Li Zhixiao with a tacit look, and Li Zhixiao was slightly stunned for a moment before he understood, and then laughed with Hong Zun and the two.

And in the distance of them, Ye Qing, who had already walked into the city gate, was looking at the city tower that had lost its heavy city gate at this time, the two heavy gates had been dragged outside the city, and the ruins on the ground were also being cleaned up by others.

Even if there was only a siege battle of less than an hour, because of the huge power of the Western Regions cannon, coupled with the killing momentum of the Song army during the siege, the corner of Xuzhou City was given to Xuzhou City, and the damage caused was enough to surprise Ye Qing and the others.

Didn't see the surrender army appear in front of him, and Ye Qing was not in a hurry to find Wan Yan Zheng, for him, since Dong Chao entered the north, the Jin people in the entire Yellow River defender generals, although Ye Qing can't know everyone well, but at the very least, he can still sit in the right seat and know who the guards of each city are, so to judge, the Jin people attach importance to the city.

Xin Qijian was infected by Ye Qing, and as he had slowly entered Xuzhou City, the whole person calmed down from the excitement at the beginning.

He was determined to resist the Northern Expedition and regain the lost land, and finally realized the first step of his ideal on this day, which is undoubtedly like stepping into a new stage in life for Xin Qiji.

"Then we can go all the way north, starting from Tengzhou, and then ......." Xin Qiji looked at Ye Qing, who had been silently looking at Xuzhou City, but he still couldn't help the spirit in his heart, and he had nothing to say to express the ecstasy in his heart.

"It's early." Ye Qing's gaze swept over the yellowed paper-paste window of a private house, and several pairs of eyes peeping through the cracks in the window disappeared in an instant as if he had seen a ghost when his gaze swept over.

With the surrender of the Jin people, there was no one else on the messy street except the Song army, and now it seems empty, but also somewhat bleak.

"Whether we can or not

can take Tengzhou, and the Jin people will no longer be as careless in defense as before. The Jin people are not stupid, they naturally know what their cavalry is beneficial to and what they are not conducive to, and defending the city is naturally the top priority of the Jin people, but ...... Don't forget, these years of the Northern Expedition, the cities we were able to recapture, were all defeated by the Jin people under the attack instead of defense, and finally had to give the city that had not been covered just now, plus our original city to the Jin people. Ye Qing let out a long sigh, and in the distance, Li Zhongfang's subordinates had already run towards him on the street as if they were in a no-man's land.

Without waiting for Ye Qing to speak, Xin Qiji led the way with a sentence beside him, and then began to follow the deputy commander of the Huaiyang Army and went to the direction of the Jin people's government office in Xuzhou.

"It's been March now, and I'm afraid that Yanjing already knows that our Song army is on the Northern Expedition, and the next ......." Xin Qiji thought about Ye Qing's words, nodded in agreement and said halfway, and the ecstasy that he had just defeated in his heart disappeared mostly: "Yes, the further north we go, the more difficult our road will be, and there will be more and more Jin soldiers, and the battle we have to face will not be a city or a place, and it is even very likely that when we attack the city, the Jin people will suddenly kill us from behind." And in this way, even if they do not attack us in the back, but only cut off our food and grass, they are already invincible. ”

"Xuzhou, Tai'an, Jinan three cities, the top priority of the Jin people, Xuzhou has Wanyan Zheng, Jinan has Wanyan Kuang, Tai'an is the same...... Although they are not the Jin royal family, Yelu Yuanyi's father and son have always been quite trusted by the Jin people since the defeat of Liao, and it is impossible to rebel. Ye Qing said with some regret.

After the Zhao Song clan was placed in Tai'an from Haizhou, Dong Chao tentatively contacted Yelu Yuanyi and Yelu Wang Xiangfuzi, but it was unsuccessful after all.

And Dong Chao didn't dare to be too blatant, for fear that Yelu's father and son would find out that he was a spy working for the Song court.

Dismounted at the gate of the Xuzhou Government Office, Ye Qing and Xin Qiji, who were dressed in bright armor, led everyone forward, Xin Qiji turned around, and only then did he find that Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun did not follow.

Seeing Xin Qiji's somewhat nervous appearance, Ye Qing smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, the two of them are naturally curious about the Western Regions Cannon, so they didn't follow." ”

"So ......." Xin Qiji's heart was shocked, and he followed Ye Qing's steps closely, and asked, "You have already guessed it, so you will let me immediately withdraw the Western Regions cannon at the first time?" Are they afraid that they will snoop on its secrets? ”

"You don't know what my relationship is with Shi Miyuan?" Ye Qing stepped into the second courtyard, sneered and said: "Shi Miyuan is now under Wang Huai, if I continue to advance north, in Shi Miyuan's eyes, I, Ye Qing, will inevitably be more and more valued by Wang Huai, and he ...... In Wang Huai's eyes, it will become more and more unreused. So...... Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun can be appointed as the same commander and deputy commander, which is Wang Huai's killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Will they hold us back?" Xin Qiji, like Yue Fei and other Southern Song Dynasty military generals back then, although he was not used to seeing civilian officials who pointed at the march and battle on the battlefield, in their hearts, they would still think of civilian officials like them, and they would put aside their prejudices and fight against Jin with the same hatred and hatred.

What's more, even now, Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun have always kept their duties, which made Xin Qiji's heart can't help but relax his vigilance against the two of them.
