Chapter 581: Throwing Eggs with Stones

Let's talk about Tongzhou, the Pujin Bridge has been controlled by the Liangshan Army. On the other side of the Yellow River, soldiers and horses came in an endless stream. Headed by Tang Bin, the chief of Hedong soldiers and horses, and Hu Yanzhuo, the chief of northern Hebei.

The two crossed the Yellow River and summoned Li Yanxian and Wang Qi, who were kind and soothing. That's a hero!

Hugh Ti is even more betrayal and does not betray, just talk about the two of them. Wasn't he also a Song general earlier? Don't care what the reason is, don't talk about the second brother.

Li Yanxian had already finalized it, but Wang Qi was spared, which was a happy event.

Now that the army controls the Pujin Bridge, it opens a gate to the Qinchuan River in the eight hundred miles of Guanzhong, and later the Liangshan army will continue to pour in from it, and the meaning of Tongguan is now broken by ninety percent.

There were originally 30,000 soldiers here in Tongzhou, most of them were the Western Army, and the smaller half were volunteers like Li Yanxian.

Now that the war has been lost and the door is open, the Western Army is okay, and there is still a lot of strength, thinking that the Liangshan Army is a trick, and Liu Ji is seven dissatisfied with eight resentment. I think that if it weren't for the disaster Xiao Wall and the elbows and armpits, why did I lose the Pujin Bridge?

As soon as the remnants of the defeated army were collected and retreated to Xiayang Town, they heard the report from Malay, but the Liangshan army had already chased after them. Aren't the leading generals Li Yanxian and Wang Qi?

One of these two people is under the Western Army, a new recruit, who is making meritorious contributions; Another heroic and daring to fight, Li Yanxian is not a face melon.

Hu Yanzhuo asked about the next battle, and the two were the first to come out to ask for battle, obviously because of their meritorious service. The double whip general is also an interesting person, and he ordered Wang Yuan to be the main general, and led 2,000 soldiers to join Li and Wang, as the vanguard of the army, and chased after him.

Wang Yuan is the old man of the Western Army, and when he comes out, Wang Qi is immediately like having a backbone, that is, the hearts of his troops are stable by three points, and his smile is bright by three points.

Hou Chenglin, Qi Ding, Le Yi and other generals were angry when they heard the names of Li Yanxian and Wang Qi, not to mention that there was Wang Yuan, a traitor with a bigger background.

Liu Ji discussed with the generals how to resist the enemy, this Xiayang Town is a good place to settle down, because it is the only way for Pujin Bridge to go to Chaoyi County, so the business is developed, the material is abundant, not inferior to Chaoyi County. But there is not a strong wall, only a wall more than a foot high.

Liu Ji said: "The Pujin Bridge, which was earned by the thieves, is in full morale at the moment. And Wang Yuan is the general of the Western Army, Li Yanxian is brave and good at fighting, and he heard that there is the help of the Liangshan Army, our army has been defeated, and the morale is falling, and the enemy must not be underestimated. I set up a fence outside the town first, and set up downstream troops to come and go to respond, and the two generals Hou Chenglin and Le Yi led the army to refuse the battle. Qi Ding and Xu Sheng responded to the reinforcements. "But I can't go any further, and if I go any further, the team may break up.

Such a distribution has been decided, and as soon as the camp was established, Li Yanxian and Wang Qi had already been killed.

The two formations were in circles, and each other's bows and crossbows were used to shoot at the feet, and the war drums were beating. The shield wall armor slammed into each other, their bows and crossbows fired in unison, and their arrows pierced through the air.

In the chaotic army, Hou Chenglin and Le Yi came out on horseback, rushed towards Li Yanxian and Wang Qi, and shouted with weapons in their hands: "Traitors and thieves are coming quickly!" Li Yanxian and Wang Qi went out together. Hou Chenglin scolded again: "The pickled thief who can only play dirty tricks dares to come to be killed, hurry up and get off the horse to be bound!" ”

Li Yanxian laughed and shouted: "Ignorant children, they dare to talk nonsense, they really don't know whether they live or die!" That Zhao Guan's family, since he ascended the throne, has done everything he has done, and people and gods have learned from him, and there is a statue of the Son of Heaven? King Lu is benevolent and loves the people like a son, how many people in the world don't know? Don't you hear that those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help?

Now these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains should belong to my lord. You are the defeated general in my hands, and you have to flee for your life in the chaotic army, if you don't catch your tail to survive, how can you seek death again? ”

Hou Chenglin was furious, and when he lifted the bamboo double whip, Li Yanxian caught it with an iron and steel gun, and after thirteen or four rounds of fighting, Hou Chenglin fell to the disadvantage when he saw it. Le Yi couldn't help it, and flapped the horse and danced the three-pointed two-edged knife and rushed to help, Li Yanxian followed with one force, and the three horses turned the lights to kill each other.

After fighting for seventeen or eighteen rounds, Li Yanxian sold a flaw, dragged and snatched, and Le Yi was reluctant to come over. Li Yanxian took a steel gun, secretly slashed a flying knife, hit Le Yi's left arm, and returned to the horse in pain. This is a means of rivers and lakes!

Li Yanxian came to catch up again. Hou Chenglin saw that Le Yi had fallen into a plot, so he wanted to help. But Wang Qi led a team of armored soldiers to block the way, and he couldn't get out. Later, Wang Yuan saw it and hurriedly led his troops to kill him. The Song army had lost a battle earlier, and its morale was low, but now that Le Yi was injured and the situation was not good, the army's strength naturally declined.

When Qi Ding and Xu Sheng saw it, they shouted loudly and killed together. That's how the decline stopped.

However, this army was not all of the Liangshan army. The first priority of the Liangshan army was naturally to ensure the safety of the Pujin Bridge, and then it was to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, so in the previous battle, the Song army actually did not suffer heavy losses, it was a rout. This is also the reason why Hu Yanzhuo only asked Wang Yuan to lead 2,000 troops and Li Yanxian and Wang Qibu to pursue.

Now Liu Ji has gathered more than half of the Western Army, but volunteers like Li Yanxian have all fled. Even the Western Army also had many fleeing places. Tongzhou is not the loess high slope in northern Shaanxi, extending in all directions. The rout dispersed in a hurry, and it was already Liu Ji's ability to recruit so many.

After such a long time, the army of Liangshan Army has reached the opposite bank.

Hu Yanzhuo first called Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng, Yang Chun, and Chen Da to lead troops to kill. The first two did not enter northern Shaanxi. Four people came out of the four ways. The Song army immediately couldn't respond, and when they retreated in a hurry, they trampled on each other, injured countless people early, and when they retreated to the camp under Liu Jili, the Liangshan army finally stopped the troops.

Liu Jihou was in the camp, Hou Chenglin and others recounted the defeat, and sighed for a long time: "This is my fault." The morale of the Liangshan army is at its peak, and I should have known that I couldn't make a mistake, and I told you to fight bravely, and then I frustrated my spirit. ”

But the wood is already in the boat, and no matter how it is told, it is irretrievable. In this battle, the Song army not only lost many soldiers and horses, but also lost its morale, and many soldiers had lost their souls.

At the moment, he said with words, and first recuperated his strength, and when it was dark, he withdrew his troops at night. However, how could the Liangshan army give them time to breathe, Hu Yanzhuo sat at the Pujin bridgehead, and Tang Bin was the first to arrive in front of the battle.

After noon, he called the men and horses to attack and kill.

Liu Ji didn't close his eyes all night last night, lost two battles in a row, and his heart was not haggard, he just wanted to pretend to sleep a little in the tent, but at this time he slept deeply. When he was awakened by his entourage, he listened to the shouts and killings outside, and said in shock: "Why did you break the camp?" "The Liangshan thieves have such powerful combat power.

The entourage said: "So that the prime minister knows that it was just in the afternoon, and the Liangshan thieves suddenly surged up to kill." When General Xu Sheng, who was on duty, saw it, he did not call for resistance, but turned around and fled, so that the people's hearts were in turmoil, and the camp was broken with one blow. ”

Liu Jiru was hit with a heavy punch, and Xu Sheng actually fled at this time, "It's really a death for me." ”

Thousands of remnants of the army were defeated, and there were those like Xu Sheng who fled in the wilderness, and naturally there were those who were loyal to serve the country.

Liu Ji ran out of the camp, turned over on horseback, and saw a thick man like a bear not far away, fighting with a thief.

The big man with an iron head, wearing black oil armor, thick eyebrows and big eyes, broad shoulders and long body, with a muddy iron rod, I am afraid that there are thirty or fifty pounds, and he is a step general. Beat to death two brave sergeants of the Liangshan Army with a stick, so that Wang Qi could face him.

The two caught the fight. Although the big man was brave, he only fought with brute strength, how could it be as good as Wang Qi's knife, in less than ten rounds, he had a knife on his right arm, and the mixed iron rod was taken off. Wang Qi was agile, stepped forward and slashed half of his head, and fell to the ground.

Hou Chenglin knew that something was wrong, so he still walked quickly, and when he ran out bareheaded, he happened to bump into Cao Cheng and shouted: "Where is the dog officer going?" "Just a simple knife, with a shoulder strap on his back, cut to the ground. Kick the corpse away again and kill indiscriminately with a knife. Hou Chenglin's personal soldiers had already lost their hearts, how could they resist his slashing, and they fled for their lives in a hurry, only hating their father and mother for having short legs.

Zhang Yong killed Qi Ding in the chaotic army, and Wang Yuan killed Le Yi in five rounds, but it was not that his martial arts were better than Li Yanxian, but that Le Yi lost his courage first. But these are not as good luck as Li Yanxian, who told him to bump into Liu Ji in the chaos. Wiped a gun to kill Liu Ji's own soldiers, and captured them as soon as they were together!

After Tang Bin got the report, he laughed happily. Liu Ji was captured, Hou Chenglin, Qi Ding and other generals either died or fled, so it is not enough to come to the remnants of the Song army in Tongzhou.

"The generals have made outstanding contributions, so I don't know if they still have the strength to make new contributions?" Tang Bin was burning a flame in his heart. Breaking Tongzhou is naturally a great achievement, but in the case that Yan'an City has been taken by Lu Qian, this Tongzhou is not so important. He understands this very well with Hu Yanzhuo!

The eyes of the two have long ceased to be only staring at the Song army in Tongzhou, at this time they should be divided into two, killing the remnants of the enemy guerrillas in Tongzhou all the way, and also protecting the safety of the Pujin Bridge; The other way is to wave the army to the south and seize Huazhou as quickly as possible. Block the path on the west side of the Tongguan Western Army. That's a great achievement!

Weishui is the largest flow of the Yellow River, and the confluence point with the Yellow River is in Tongguan. The official road connecting Chang'an and the Kanto region runs along the south bank of Weishui. It's like a straight line, straight to Chang'an.

Stuck on this official road, the 20,000 Song troops in Tongguan thought well!

Wang Yuan laughed, "So that the chief manager knows that Sun Zhaoyuan has always known him." Although this person was born in Wenchen, he has been honed in the Western Army for many years, and has served as a thief in Shaanxi Province to do official work, and he has been promoted to the Xihe Road transfer envoy, and later part-time as the governor of Lanzhou, proficient in martial arts. He is loyal, upright and fierce, and has long been ridiculed in the Kansai officialdom, and there are many slanderous words in the political affairs of the Song Dynasty. If you think that you will be forced into an embarrassment, you can persuade it. ”

Tang Bin's eyes lit up suddenly, if Sun Zhaoyuan could be convinced, the credit would be even greater. Immediately allowed Wang Yuan.

The rest of the generals, since Li Yanxian, everyone is willing to rush to Huazhou, although this Huazhou is a state city, but it is a full man with a tight stomach, and the stomach is very empty. All it takes is a light ride to take it down with one blow.

At that time, the soldiers and horses will be defending the city, how can the Western Army take it in the short term? And when the western army came west, didn't Lu Zhishen and others in Heluo free up their hands......

This war is like smashing eggs with stones, and it is won!
