The Daimyo's Mansion, Song Liao has been entangled for two days, the Liao army of 400,000 people, several sieges, did not take the Daimyo's Mansion, on the contrary, when they saw those red bows and crossbows, they were frightened and had no combat effectiveness.

In the palace, although Wang Qinruo sat firmly on Mount Tai, he trembled in his heart, and even trembled when he spoke.

"Sun Quanzhao won the world bravely, the official had to serve, the most dangerous north gate, he did not set up a soldier, only with a banner to bluff the Liao army. But this is too dangerous after all, if the Liao army is not fooled and attacks the north gate, where is our life at this moment? ”

The prefect of the Daimyo Mansion said: "Lord Wang, there is nothing that can be done about the matter (qíng) that has reached this point, if it weren't for General Sun's presence, would those few city gates be able to stop the Liao army's tiger and wolf army?" ”

Wang Qinruo nodded and said, "I hope General Sun can continue this miracle, and I will wait for these old lives to be handed over to him." ”

The Liao army was originally indomitable, but they were entangled in the Daimyo's Mansion and did not move, so they were naturally very anxious.

In the big tent, Empress Dowager Xiao said: "Everyone, it's been three days, and the Daimyo's Mansion still hasn't been beaten, if it goes on like this, the Song army in Dingzhou should catch up." ”

Generalissimo Xiao Tzu Rin said: "Please rest assured, although the Tianxiong army of the Song Dynasty is powerful, but after all, the number is limited, and Weichen intends to launch an attack on the four gates of the Daimyo Mansion at the same time, and the strength of the Tianxiong army will be divided and eaten, and I don't believe that he will not be destroyed." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded and said: "Okay, just do it, the palace doesn't believe it, the 400,000 troops of Daliao can't break a lonely city." ”

Han Derang shook his head and said: "This is not the best policy, the Tianxiong army occupies the dangerous place of the city, and there are strong crossbows in hand, even if we can break the city, we will also suffer a lot of losses." ”

"Oh? So what can you do? Empress Dowager Xiao asked.

Han Derang smiled slightly and said, "My Da Liao is good at field warfare, and I should lure the Tianxiong army out of the city to fight." ”

"Lead out of the Daimyo's Mansion? How did they come out? Xiao Tzu Rin asked.

"We first gave up the Daimyo's Mansion and went to attack his sub-city Qingde Military City, at that time the Tianxiong Army was bound to go out of the city to rescue us, and we divided our forces to set up an ambush halfway and destroy Sun Quanzhao in one fell swoop."

"That's a good idea." Empress Dowager Xiao praised: "Once the Tianxiong Army is destroyed, the Daimyo's Mansion will become an empty city completely. Xiao Tzurin, you can do what Master Han said. ”

Xiao Tzu Rin took the order and left

Times (rì), Wang Qinruo still sat on the palace with fear, not knowing how the Liao army would fight, Sun Quanzhao concentrated the strength of the Tianxiong army in the east and west gates, if the Liao army fought from the north and south gates, it would be easy to break the city.

At this moment, someone came to report: "Lord Wang, the Liao army has withdrawn." ”

"Withdrawn?" Wang Qinruo was surprised and delighted: "Have they all withdrawn?" Where did the retreat go? ”

"My lord, retreat to the southeast, it seems that you are going to the Qingde Military City."

"They want to clear the German military city?"

"That's how it should be." The prefect of the Daimyo Mansion said: "The Qingde Military City is a sub-city of the Daimyo Mansion, and we have to take care of it." ”

Wang Qinruo hesitated and fell into deep thought.

At this time, Sun Quanzhao strode in and said loudly: "Lord Wang, the Liao army has gone to the Qingde military city, we should pursue it immediately." ”

"No, General Sun, there are more than 10,000 people in the Daimyo Mansion, once you leave the city, you will be eaten by the Liao army, and the two cities will not be able to be saved when you fall."

"So do you mean to sit idly by and let the Qing German army break the city and be slaughtered?" Sun Quanzhao asked.

"Then what can be done, although your General Sun is brave, but when he goes out of the city, he is not the opponent of the 400,000 Liao army at all. The emperor's will to the official is to hold the Daimyo's Mansion and gain time for His Majesty's personal conquest, and at this time, the Daimyo's Mansion must not be abandoned to save the Qinde Military City. ”

Sun Quanzhao said angrily: "Lord Wang, the Qingde Military City is a sub-city of the Daimyo's Mansion, what is the difference between losing the Qingde Military City and losing the Daimyo's Mansion?" Besides, once the Qing German army city is lost, the Liao army will go straight south to cross the river, so what is the use of us holding this isolated city. ”

"This—" Wang Qinruo hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

Sun Quanzhao gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Wang, I have already asked someone to close the north gate, Lord Wang will send the troops of the Daimyo Mansion to take over, and I will take the Tianxiong Army to save the German army city." ”

After saying that, he said no more and turned (shēn) out.

Wang Qinruo knew that he could not stop him, so he hurriedly sent all the officers and soldiers, box soldiers, and militia in the city to garrison the city gates.

Sun Quanzhao led the Tianxiong army to set off quickly and chased in the direction of the Liao army. Sure enough, in the evening, they encountered an ambush by the Liao army, and a bloody battle broke out between the two sides.

This was completely unexpected by Sun Quanzhao, but he was not afraid, facing the Liao army

Head on head. His family has been a general for generations, and before joining the army, he thought of dying on the battlefield.

The bow and crossbow shone with a terrifying red light in the setting sun, and for a time ten thousand arrows were fired at once, turning the people killed by the Liao army on their backs. It's a pity that the Tianxiong army has a limited number of people, and the crossbow arrows are also limited, and they ran out of arrows in their hands in a short time.

Sun Quanzhao (shè) took out the last arrow, threw away the crossbow in his hand, pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Brothers, the moment to repay the country with death is today, follow me to kill." ”

All the soldiers of the Tianxiong army threw away their bows and crossbows, and fought with the Liao army (shēn) (ròu), and actually cut down the Liao army's ambush soldiers.

After Xiao Tzu Rin got the battle report, he immediately divided the soldiers and horses into two parts, one part of which attacked the Qing German army city, and the other part turned around to meet the Tianxiong army.

A night of bloody fighting, rivers of blood, corpses all over the field, miserable.

次 (rì), a fast horse rushed into Kaifeng City, and when the sergeant arrived at the palace, he fell off his horse and fainted, holding a letter tightly in his hand.

Not long after, this letter was placed on Zhao Heng's desk.

There were two pieces of news in the letter, first, the Liao army broke through the city of the Qing German army, and all the soldiers and civilians in the city were slaughtered. Second, the Tianxiong army sent troops to rescue each other, and fought a bloody battle with the Liao army for a night, the whole army was annihilated, and the life and death of the main general Sun Quanzhao were unknown.

Ferocious and vicious, exterminating people (xìng), the Manchu civil and military gritted their teeth, but they were terrified. He (rì) opened the city and broke it, and it is conceivable that it is the same result.

Zhao Heng felt his blood surging and had an urge to vomit blood. At this time, the eunuch reported that Chen Yaosuo, who had been sent to Qizhou, had returned.

"Quick, call him in, Mingyue and Ling Kun can go together?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I haven't seen the eldest princess and (diàn) handsome."

Zhao Heng's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

Chen Yaosu immediately entered the upper study, and pouted on his knees on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, Weichen has failed to bring back the eldest princess, please surrender your majesty." ”

"Didn't come back?" Zhao Heng felt that the world was spinning, and he sat on the chair and said weakly: "How can Mingyue abandon the ancestral inheritance, doesn't she even care about the life or death of her mother and brother?" ”

He paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said to Kou Zhun and the others: "Otherwise, I will still tour the south, do you say that you are going to Jinling or Chengdu?" ”

Chen Yaosuo was overjoyed and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, it is safest to go to Chengdu." ”
