Chapter 317: Attacking Yanjing

Su Guo is the third son of Su Dongpo, has been following Su Dongpo, and has been most influenced by Su Dongpo's literature. Seeing that Zhao Fujin had only four or five people, he was angry for a while, so he lent Zhao Fujin a command of the horse army, which naturally made Zhao Fujin, a "lonely man", overjoyed.

With this command of the horse army escort, there is naturally no need to ask for directions along the way, and there is no need to worry about eating, when he left, Su Guo sent people to prepare, and he brought a lot of food and drink on the road. If it weren't for Zhao Fujin's refusal, Su Guo would have prepared to send a few maids to accompany him.

After coming out of Anxi City, after passing the northernmost Anyangkoupu, Yutaikoupu, and Catching Horse Koupu in Zhongshan Mansion, it was to step into the realm of Fanren in the past, but in the past few months, the imperial army and Fanren soldiers and horses fought several times, and finally were taken by the Wansheng army Zhuozhou, Yizhou, Rongcheng, etc., and since then there has been no trace of Fanbing. These things Weibian Army only heard that now after crossing the border, they have traveled a distance, and sure enough, they have not encountered a single soldier, and everyone believes that the Fan people have been completely defeated.

The golden wind is swaying, the blue sky is like washing, the Taihang Mountain in the west is clearly visible in the distance, rolling and undulating, and the surrounding thousands of miles of fertile fields are close to the body, and there is no boundlessness. The gallop of the war horses startled the birds and hares of the fields. Zhao Fujin couldn't sit still in the carriage, got out of the carriage, rode his horse, and galloped with these guards and soldiers, feeling very interesting, and felt that this trip was worthwhile.

Further north, Zhao Fujin soon saw the city wall of Yizhou, as well as the soldiers of the Wansheng Army standing on the city wall, and the Wansheng Army flag and Zhou Zishuai flag flying in the wind. Although she had only heard about the Wansheng Army from the side newspapers before, Zhao Fujin knew that the Wansheng Army was a righteous army recruited by the imperial court, and also helped the imperial army capture Zhuozhou, Yizhou, etc., and finally Yanshan Mansion was also the Wansheng Army and the imperial army joined forces to attack Yanshan Mansion.

What kind of person is this surnamed Zhou? When I arrived at Yanshan Mansion, I wanted to see and learn. Zhao Fujin only had a trace of such a thought in his heart, and he quickly rode over from outside Yizhou City.

From Yizhou to Yanjing, the avenue at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain is a flat north-south thoroughfare. Historically, the Liao soldiers invaded the border passes of the Song Dynasty, from Yanjing to Yizhou, and then from Yizhou to the east to Xiongzhou, from Xiongzhou, Mozhou, Jizhou, and Daimyo, all the way south, because there was no obstacle on this road, it was very suitable for cavalry raids. So in less than two hours, Zhao Fujin and his entourage passed near Liangxiang in the southwest of Yanjing and approached Yanjing City.

It was only in front of Zhao Fujin's eyes that Zhao Fujin was excited, and secretly praised himself for coming to Yanshan Mansion this time.

What appeared in front of Zhao Fujin's eyes was the bloody scene of the Great Song army attacking Yanjing City.

This fierce scene made Zhao Fujin forget that Yanshan Mansion had been attacked by the Great Song Dynasty, why he was still attacking now, only to see the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army outside the city according to the command of the general, lined up as a pair of shield bearers, slowly moving towards the moat, the crossbowmen were behind the shield bearers, as the distance approached, hearing the shouts of the generals behind, they shot arrows at the defenders at the head of the city, and the sharp arrows fell on the head of Yanjing City as accurately as a fluffy and rapid raindrop. The defenders at the head of the city would hide behind the arrow stacks and shields in time, and the entire shield bow and crossbow array on the side of the Great Song Dynasty took advantage of the defenders to dodge and immediately rushed forward for a distance.

The entire south bank of the moat, from west to east, was the infantry of the Song army. It's just that it seems that Song Jun's equipment is a little shabby and embarrassed. In addition to those commanding generals who have a whole set of armor and armor and blades in their hands, the Song soldiers in the large array are almost like Huazi soldiers, and it seems that these soldiers gave an order, wearing whatever they grabbed, and taking whatever they grabbed, some had no armor on their bodies, and some had weapons in their hands, and some had armor on their bodies, but they only held a wooden stick in their hands.

The defenders of the city will dodge a wave of arrows, they will immediately open their bows to the Song army under the city to return fire, condescending to shoot sharp arrows will shoot over the shield to the soldiers behind, the soldiers with armor are fine, there is nowhere to hide without armor, after a counterattack on the city, the Song army will lie down in the infantry of many soldiers. Not only could the infantry not advance, but it had to retreat so that no soldier would be shot. First Literary Network

This kind of attack and defense is not the most fatal, the most fatal thing is that after shooting a few rounds of arrow rain, the Song army didn't even have enough arrows on this side, and the arrows shot out were obviously much sparser than just now, and the defenders on the city didn't care about it, just waited for the range of the bow and arrow, and immediately opened their bows to fight back.

Zhao Fujin was on fire in the west, even she couldn't stand such a siege, it would be strange if she could attack the city! The cavalry of the Weibian Army next to them also commented and pointed out, and they all felt that this siege commander was really a bit nonsense, isn't this a matter of growing other people's ambition and destroying their own prestige?

"Huh? On the city is the Wansheng army! One of the soldiers of the Weibian Army suddenly shouted.

Only then did Zhao Fujin notice that the banner on the head of the city was the same as the banner of the Wansheng Army seen on Yizhou City, and there was also a big Zhouzi handsome flag.

Zhao Fujin suddenly said suspiciously: "Isn't this Wansheng army a righteous army recruited by the imperial court?" How did you fight with the imperial army? ”

The people of the Weibian Army naturally did not know the inside story, Pan Zhu pointed to the Song Army's infantry formation, and said: "Auntie, isn't that the banner of Liu Yanqing and Liu Dutong over there?" Presumably Liu Dutong commanded there, and when we asked in the past, wouldn't we know? ”

Zhao Fujin nodded, rode a horse and took the lead to the east under the banner of the Song army, panicked that the people of the Weibian army and Pan Zhu and the other four hurriedly protected Zhao Fujin's left side, and took Zhao Fujin's horse away from the city, avoiding the range of bows and arrows of the defenders in the city, and then he was a little relieved.

Under the banner of the Dutong Commander, it was Liu Yanqing who was ordered by Tong Guan to lead his troops to attack Yanjing City for the third time. It's just that this time, although Liu Yanqing brought 40,000 remnants of the defeated generals, and the remnants of the armor and weapons were defeated, Liu Yanqing was more confident in his heart than the previous two times. Just because Tong Guan told him: There are only more than 10,000 Wansheng troops in Yanjing City, and the original soldiers have been left from Yanjing with a group of men and horses each by Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan.

Liu Yanqing has a kind of timidity towards Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi from the bottom of his heart, but he looks down on this righteous army that came out of Yizhou Mountain, although Yang Keshi is also in it. When Liu Yanqing heard Tong Guan say that there was only Wan Shengjun in Yanjing City, Liu Yanqing agreed without thinking about it, if he couldn't even defeat this group of grass people and rogues this time, he would have no face to do it.

Therefore, the connivance was incomplete armor and weapons, Liu Yanqing still rushed over with his troops impatiently, and began to attack the city without even setting up a large camp.

When Zhao Fujin led his troops to rush over to him, Liu Yanqing naturally also noticed Zhao Fujin and the Weibian Army cavalry that followed behind.
