Chapter 126: Martyrdom

After Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji determined the generals who would go south to encircle and suppress Fang La, he said: "Now that the imperial court is overstretched, we must first pacify the thieves in Liangshan. After pacifying Fangla, solve the Liangshan thieves. Who among the ministers can go to appease Liang Shanbo, Shi Jin and others? ”

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Su Yuanjing, the former lieutenant of the palace, hurriedly went out of work and said: "Weichen is willing to go again, this time I will definitely help the saint pacify those thieves!" ”

Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji was overjoyed and said: "Aiqing is willing to go, which is naturally good." Song Jiang, the commander of the forbidden military camp, is a native of Jeju, and he is also quite famous in the rivers and lakes, and he also has some friendship with several thieves in Liangshan. Song Jiang accompanied Aiqing to pacify the gang of thieves. Aiqing is going to be the main envoy, and Song Jiang is the deputy envoy! ”

Now although the gang of thieves in Liangshan did not raise the banner to rebel, they also occupied the city and did not leave, who knows if they will see Fang Lan's gang in full swing, they also have a thief's heart and want to rebel!

It's good to have people who have a relationship with the gang of thieves in Liangshan go together, maybe when you are in trouble, you can rely on him to be accommodating!

Su Yuanjing hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Yes, Weichen obeys the order!" ”

Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji thought for a while and said, "To appease the gang of thieves in Liangshan, Song Jiang's status is a bit low. Decree: Song Jiang is not afraid of danger, and is willing to risk his life to say that he will surrender to the thief, and be promoted to the front of the palace! ”

Even if he is promoted, the status of Song Jiang, the former secretary of the palace, is still a bit low, and if he is sent as the main envoy, it will make people feel that they look down on Liangshan thieves. In this way, it is possible to do bad things with good intentions.

Let Song Jiang be the deputy envoy to negotiate the conditions, and then let Su Yuanjing read it out. That's the best way to go.

With the issuance of an edict from the emperor, the machine of the Great Song Dynasty turned. Raise money and food from the treasury and pick weapons from the arsenal.

This time, in order to pacify Fang La as soon as possible and restore the rule of Jiangnan. In addition, Fang La dug Cai Jing's ancestral grave, which made Cai Jing eager to skin Fang La alive.

The court is bent on eradicating Fang La.

Under this thinking, it is a wide open door to convenience. Even the Eight Ox Crossbows, Divine Arm Bows, and Thunderbolt Cannons, which are usually easy and difficult to mobilize, are now heavily allocated to the army of the East and West to encircle and suppress Fang La.

Although there may not be even 300,000 forbidden troops in the capital, the emperor's will was issued. If you don't have it, you have to have it.

30,000 were transferred from the Western Army, 10,000 from the Northern Army, and then 60,000 from the Forbidden Army. A total of 100,000 horses were sent to Yang Jian, Tan Zhen, Wang Yu, and Liu Yanqing to encircle and suppress Fang La.

Before the army was opened, Su Yuanjing and Song Jiang set off for Shandong, ready to negotiate conditions with Shi Jin and persuade them to surrender.

On the way to Shandong for Su Yuanjing and Song Jiang, Shi Jin launched an attack on Yizhou first.

Outside Linyi City, Shi Jin led an army of 11,000 to look at the approaching city gate with a burst of helplessness.

I don't know if I've been unlucky during this time, or whatever.

After the Shandong Uprising, none of the cities conquered were easy.

Uncle Zhang, the governor of Jeju, didn't say anything at night, and Jiang Yuan, the governor of Yizhou, was also a hardliner.

After the Liangshan army captured Yanzhou, Zhizhou Jiang Yuan also knew that the Liangshan bandits were going to attack Yizhou sooner or later.

There are no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou, and Jiang Yuan knows that if he guards everywhere, the final result will be that he will fall everywhere.

Jiang Yuan was ruthless, completely ignoring the other counties under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, and shrunk nearly 7,000 soldiers and horses in the whole state back to the capital Linyi City early, making it clear that the carriages and horses were going to stick to the end!

It is very useful to dig tunnels and blow up the walls with explosives, but the amount of black powder is large.

Why did Shi Jin take the risk of running thousands of miles when attacking Yanzhou, it was not because he basically used up the gunpowder in order to collapse the city wall in that attack on Jeju.

In addition, the attack on Jeju was the first battle, and Zhang Shuye's house was good at defending, so Shi Jin used up all the gunpowder to blow up the city wall and capture Jeju.

After nearly two months of manufacturing, gunpowder has been hoarded quite a bit. But for the sake of follow-up operations, Shi Jin didn't want to use them all.

And Shi Jin didn't believe that Jiang Yuan's guy would be as difficult as Uncle Zhang.

Riding on a red horse, Shi Jin drew his sword and shouted, "The whole army is attacking the city!" ”

As the military order was issued, the war drums were beaten and the trumpets were sounded.

The catapult was the first to attack, and the huge stone was thrown into the sky and smashed down heavily.

Seeing the huge stone fall down, the Song soldiers in Linyi were so frightened that they turned around and ran.

Some Song soldiers did not run down the city in time and were directly stoned to death, and died very miserably.

The recruits in the Song army who had never seen a dead man saw the tragic death of their companions, some of them were so frightened that they were so frightened that they vomited on the spot, and more of them became deserters after dropping their weapons.

Yuan Chun, the training envoy of the Yizhou regiment, killed several deserters one after another, and shouted: "Don't escape, don't escape, whoever dares to escape, Lao Tzu will kill him!" ”

Although Yuan Chun killed a few people, the frightened Song soldiers were even more afraid of the boulder that fell from the sky, and they ran violently, and Yuan Chun did not dare to resist the fleeing crowd.

Zhizhou Jiang Yuan saw that the Song soldiers were threatened by the boulder, and there was no way to hold on to the city.

He could only shout: "Withdraw all the soldiers and stop the thieves in the city." I don't believe that those thieves would dare to throw stones like this in the city! ”

When I smashed a stick of incense, I saw that there was no longer a Song soldier on the city.

Shi Jin stopped the catapult attack and asked the sword and shield soldiers to make a tentative attack.

The sword and shield soldiers who had been prepared early in the morning carried the ladder and ran into the city as fast as possible, erecting the ladder and climbing up.

Seeing that the Liangshan army easily climbed to the top of the city, he did not encounter obstacles.

Shi Jin's eyes lit up, sure enough, this Jiang Yuan was not as good as Uncle Zhang, and he didn't build a hidden soldier cave on the city wall.

Shi Jin shouted loudly: "The officers and soldiers have all run away, and no one is in the way." Quick, take the gates! ”

The soldiers of the Liangshan army saw that there were no Song soldiers at the head of the city to release arrows and boil oil, so they immediately spread their steps excitedly and rushed to the city wall.

With the capture of the south gate, part of the Liangshan army ran along the city head to control the other three city gates, and part of the lower city head captured important places such as government offices and warehouses.

In order to show his determination to hold the city, Jiang Yuan had someone block the city gate with stones and hardwoods early in the morning.

After the Liangshan army took control of the city gate, they removed the sand, stone and horizontal logs, and opened the city gate.

Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, and Wu Yong rode horses, and with the support of a group of soldiers, they walked into Linyi City.

When Shi Jinzheng was happy to capture Linyi City so easily this time, he suddenly rushed over and shouted: "Big brother, Zhizhou Jiang Yuan refuses to surrender, and is leading people to resist desperately in front of the government!" ”

In front of the palace, Zhizhou Jiang Yuan and the regimental training envoy Yuan Chunzheng led more than 2,000 Song soldiers to start a street battle, making the last resistance.

Yuan Chungang repelled an attack by the Liangshan army, and he walked to Jiang Yuan of Zhizhou with a big knife and shouted: "Lord Zhizhou, the Liangshan army has captured the city, and Linyi can't hold it." Ben will escort the adults out of the city! ”

Jiang Yuan, the governor of Yizhou, heard it and shouted: "As the governor of Yizhou, how can this official abandon the city and flee." There was only Jiang Yuan who died in battle, and there was no Jiang Yuan who escaped. Kill! ”

Hearing that Zhizhou refused to escape, Yuan Chun felt bitter.

If Zhizhou escapes, he can also run away. In this way, even if you have to punish after the fact, it will not be a big mistake. But if the civil official does not flee, he will abandon the city and flee. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will definitely be severely punished, and if you don't die, you will be exiled!

Yuan Chun saw that Jiang Yuan was determined, so he could only grit his teeth and fight to the death.

Damn it!

He, Jiang Yuan, is not afraid of death, and Lao Tzu, a military general, is still afraid of death.

Death is death, killing one is enough, killing two earns one.

Seeing that the Liangshan army was attacking again, Yuan Chun rushed forward with a big sword.

The space in the streets and alleys is narrow, and the advantages of the Liangshan Army's large corps in combat cannot be brought into play, so they can only kill it step by step.

The two sides launched a white-knuckle battle, and the fierce battle began, with countless sharp weapons slashing and slashing.

Both sides gritted their teeth and insisted on fighting, hoping to hack each other to death first.

Seeing that the head of the city was lost, the Song army was still resisting.

Shi Jin wanted to fight in person several times, but was stopped by Lu Fang, Guo Sheng and others.

Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and other leaders fought at the forefront, leading their respective troops to compress the Song army's defense line step by step.

Jiang Yuan waved his sword frantically and shouted desperately. "Kill! The time has come to be loyal to the country! ”

Under the desperate resistance of the Song soldiers, the Liangshan army also suffered many casualties for a while.

Seeing that the Song army was still stubbornly resisting, Wu Yong Jince said: "Big brother, since Jiang Yuan refuses to surrender. Just smash them to death with a catapult! ”

When Zhu Wu heard this, he immediately objected and said, "Big brother, no." Jiang Yuan is just stubbornly resisting, and with the strength of our army, he will be able to defeat this group of Song troops sooner or later. The accuracy of this catapult is so bad that it can easily hit ordinary houses and injure people by mistake. Now Linyi has been taken by our army, if the people are stoned to death, it will not be conducive to our army taking over Linyi! ”

The grumpy Li Kui shouted: "Big brother, since that birdman is so ignorant. Let Iron Bull lead his men to bring the birdman's head and present it to you! ”

Li Kui's Tiger Ben Army is the most impactful force in the Liangshan Army, so it is better to let the Tiger Ben Army go and settle the battle as soon as possible.

Shi Jin nodded and said, "Okay, but if you can capture Jiang Yuan alive, you will capture it alive." ”

"Yes!" Li Kui led his men to the place where the fierce battle was fierce.

Looking at Li Kui's furious aura, Shi Jin knew that he didn't listen to his last advice at all, so he shouted: "Xiang Chong, Li Gon, the two of you go together to help Li Kui, remember to capture Jiang Yuan alive, capture each other alive!" ”

The eight-armed Nezha Xiang Chong and the Flying Sage Li Gon shouted: "Yes, big brother! ”

What kind of people bring what kind of soldiers!

Li Kui used two plate axes, and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army also liked to use axes.

As far as Li Kui's fierce temperament is concerned, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army are basically willing to accept a knife and a shot from you, and they also want to split you in half with an axe.

The axes flew all over the sky, not to mention, Song Bing finally dodged the axe that was chopped off at the moment, and before they could catch their breath, they were shocked to find that a figure suddenly jumped out of their feet, and then the knife flashed, and Song Bing found that his feet had been cut off on the spot, and he fell to the ground in pain and howled and bled to death.

With the Tiger Battalion and the Barbarian Hob soldiers joining the battlefield, the Song army, which was barely resisting, suddenly collapsed.

Song Bing screamed and turned to run away.

At this time, the regimental training made Yuan Chun resist the crazy attack of the Tiger Ben Army, where would he have the energy to take care of those deserters.

Without the escort of the Song soldiers, Jiang Yuan, as a civil official, could only fight with the Liangshan army with a sword at this time.

But in the end, he is a civil official, and he has no strength. No one was killed, but he was stabbed seven or eight times. If he hadn't been blocked by Xiang Chong with a brute card at the last moment, he would have been hacked to death by Li Kui, who rushed to the forefront.

The Liangshan army surrounded less than 100 remaining Song soldiers at a street entrance in front of the palace.

The clothes on his body were stained red with his own blood, Jiang Yuan gasped, but he still stubbornly supported himself with his long sword, glaring at Liang Shanjun angrily.

Seeing that the big leader Shi had come in, the surrounding Liangshan army hurriedly dispersed and made way for a passage. Shi Jin walked in with Zhu Wu and others.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan still refused to surrender, Shi Jin shouted: "I am Shi Jin, the nine-pattern dragon, Jiang Zhizhou believes that you have also seen it." Linyi has been captured by our army, in order to avoid fearless casualties, you should surrender! ”

After nearly a month of preparations, Jiang Yuan originally thought that he could hold on to the reinforcements of the imperial court. Unexpectedly, in the end, it didn't hold even a day, and the city was captured.

Jiang Yuan's expression was bitter, and his voice was a little hoarse: "You gang of thieves don't think that I, Jiang Yuan, will surrender to you." The old man swears not to surrender! ”

Shi Jin looked at the frightened Song soldiers and said, "Surrender!" Think more about these soldiers around you, they have done their duty and held on until the last moment. Many of them are the breadwinners of their families, and when they die, their families may starve to death without them. Think more about their families and stop making them fearless sacrifices. Surrender! ”

Jiang Yuan looked at the soldiers who accompanied him at the end, and saw the soldiers looking at him with fear, hope and expectation.

Jiang Yuan sighed, "Surrender!" ”

Hearing that the adults shouted surrender, the remaining Song soldiers were suddenly overjoyed and dropped their weapons.

Seeing that the Song soldiers had surrendered, Shi Jin was very happy.

Finally surrendered!

Just when Shi Jin was ready to appease and entertain Jiang Yuan.

Suddenly, Jiang Yuan shouted with all his strength: "Shi Jin thief, the old man is incompetent, so you have captured Linyi." But don't be too happy, my Great Song Dynasty has millions of soldiers and horses, and I will kill you like a dog! The old man is waiting for you in the underworld! Holy Lord, Jiang Yuan lost the city, the sin is unforgivable, and today he can only die to apologize! ”

After shouting, Jiang Yuan picked up the long sword in his hand and killed himself in front of the mansion. ()
