Chapter 257: Cannon Shock Riding Sheng 7
At noon, Yang Keshi received a report from his subordinates, saying that Liu Yanqing's 50,000 horses had gone north along the east bank of the river. Yang Keshi also smiled helplessly, after all, he is still a general of the Western Army, and this Liu Yanqing is his top boss, he doesn't dare to stop anything, he can only stay in the city and pretend to be deaf and dumb, and the other is to quickly send someone to report to Zhou Nan.
The messenger rushed to Sanssouci Village in a hurry and verified his identity, but the soldiers guarding the village told him that General Zhou had taken his three hundred elite cavalry to train and had not returned. The messenger couldn't wait, asked for the way, got on his horse, followed the direction of the people in the village, and went down the mountain to find it.
Halfway down the mountain, then to the southwest, all the way down. After a while, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from time to time. Looking from afar, I saw that in a large open space north of the river in front of me, three hundred cavalry were galloping one by one, and there was a target standing not far away. The strange thing is that the arrow is not the familiar pyramidal arrow, but shaped like a hammer, the front is large and the back is small, so it is very difficult to hit the target.
There is a big flag erected in the center of the field, on which are written the three big characters of "Wansheng Army", and there is a person riding on a horse, watching the cavalry drill, and the messenger can recognize it at a glance, this person is Zhou Nan. Hurriedly ran over, got into the room, and reported to Zhou Nan: "General Zhou, Yang Tong sent me to deliver a message, saying that more than 50,000 people from Liu Yanqing's department crossed the boundary river this morning, along Xincheng and Guiyi, and headed north. Now it is about past Zhuozhou. ”
Zhou Nanzhen saw Yang Keshi's signature, and asked, "You Yang commanders don't dare to go out of the city to intercept them?" ”
The messenger argued: "Yang Tongzhi didn't dare to intercept it, just because he was a Song general, I am afraid it would be embarrassing." If it were a fan, if we wanted to go from Zhuozhou, we would have killed it a long time ago! ”
Zhou Nan said with a smile: "Go back and tell you about the system: Liu Yanqing killed the past, just to grab the merit." Let them fight first, and as long as they don't come to harass us, they don't care. When I had finished my training, I went down the mountain to find him. Also, with my signature, I also sent a message to General Gao in Yizhou, asking him to do a good job in city defense and beware of Liu Yanqing's people. ”
The messenger muttered in his heart: When the soldiers are trained and then go down the mountain, Yanjing City has already been captured by Liu Yanqing. This messenger is Yang Keshi's subordinate in the Song army, during this time to occupy Zhuozhou, take Xincheng, Guiyi, and then return to the army is the capital of meritorious service, and I look forward to this General Zhou leading everyone to take Yanjing City, who knows that General Zhou blocked back lukewarmly, so he had to return to Zhuozhou sullenly.
Zhou Nan watched the messenger go down the mountain, and he also sighed in his heart. He didn't dare to delay for a day, in order to have enough time to make his bombs, but also to train a team of elite guards who could skillfully use bombs, he wanted to use this 300-person elite guards to break through the walls of Yanjing, and even more to use this elite soldier to defeat Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi's men and horses in one fell swoop, and also to use this elite guard to subdue the obedience of the Fan people and the Han people in Yanjing City in a battle.
At the beginning, he agreed with Tong Guan: The Song army did not cross the boundary river, just to use the great credit of getting Yanjing City as fat meat to hook Tong Guan's ambitions, let him restrain the army, and not act rashly. Only on this ground can you make bombs with peace of mind and train your own elite guards.
He only needs 300 people! The moment when three hundred people broke through the gate of Yanjing City with bombs, they could have enough shock to crush the determination of the Liao people in the city to resist.
And the army led by Yang Keshi and Gao Yuan, who had 17,000 people behind him, would be the last straw that crushed the Liao people.
forced out the Liao people - or rather, forced away the Liao court soldiers and horses led by Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi, and took Yanjing City by himself, so when he turned around, he needed to face Tong Guan and the Song soldiers.
But Tong Guan, the old thief, looked at this piece of fat and couldn't help but do it himself. As a result, his plans were all about to change. What's more, if you can't occupy Yanjing City, all your plans will be ruined. If Liu Yanqing occupies Yanjing City, he can't mobilize Yang Keshi to bring people to fight Liu Yanqing, right?
After the messenger finished saying what Zhou Nan wanted him to pass on, he couldn't help but complain to Yang Keshi again. Although Yang Keshi also wanted to attack Yanjing, he knew who was the reason why he could stand in Zhuozhou City, and he also knew the consequences of following Liu Yanqing to send troops, just like last time, he let him take 3,000 men and horses into the territory of Fanren to sneak attack, and in the end, only 300 people remained. So he was still happy to stay in the city, but since Zhou Nan had spoken, he would naturally send sentry spies to investigate the situation near and far, strengthen the defense of the city wall, and let Zhao Heshou's township soldiers also start to go to the city wall to assist in the defense. He also asked this messenger to go south to Yizhou immediately, and told Gao Yuan what he said, this Gao Yuan had never fought in the past, don't be careless, he fell for Liu Yanqing's tricks. Although Yang Keshi was unwilling to intercept Liu Yanqing, he was even more unwilling to watch Gao Yuan be taken advantage of by Liu Yanqing's sneak attack.
The water in the Wuding River whimpered and flowed southeast, and the army on the east bank of the river went up the river, just like this drinking river water that walked all night without stopping. Although the wind by the river in the early morning was exceptionally cold, even with a hint of coldness. However, the armor on the bodies of these soldiers had already been wet with sweat, but none of them were willing to rest.
Shangguan has already said that there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yanjing City, and the old emperor is also dead, and the little emperor doesn't know which grass nest to escape, and the remaining Niangniang is in power, and this Yanjing City will surrender if it can't withstand an hour of attack. When the time comes, the gates of the city will be opened, and the gold and silver goods in the city will be taken at will, and the daughters and ladies of the city will be allowed to be enjoyed by the brothers. General Liu and General Liu both said that as long as you take it, it's all yours. You can't take it, so General Liu and General Liu will take it.
As soon as the soldiers who had always followed Liu Yanqing said this, their legs seemed to be seven points lighter, and they didn't feel hungry, but they just walked hard towards Yanjing City, for fear that if they went late, those gold and silver treasures, beauties and beauties would all disappear with the dew after the sun came out.
Following General Liu, marching and fighting has always only paid attention to two words: fight and rob. In short, it's all the way to fight and grab all the way. So they are all willing to follow and fight General Liu. General Liu's combat style has won the support of these soldiers: if you fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will run.
What else to say about such a chief? Grab it!
