Hou Mingfeng, Zhao Jun, and the generals of Yan temporarily changed the battle plan, and the cavalry went out of the city, turning the passive into the active, making the defense of Lucheng instantly useless.

In addition, Yan Cai Xing besieged Lucheng and isolated it, which made Meng Kuo worried, secretly lamented the carelessness of the enemy, and left it to the Yan army.

At present, there is no way but to send secret agents to secretly monitor and reconnoiter the movements of the Yan army day and night, remind Guo Wanjun, speed up the training of the flying army, strive for the flight army to participate in the battle as soon as possible, and resolve the embarrassing situation of the Song army.

It's a pity that the Song army's spies kept sending news back to the front, and Meng Kuo gradually discovered that he once again despised Hou Mingfeng's ambitions.

The other party did not take him and the Song army in Lucheng into account at all, and even disdained to fight with it, so he led his troops to cross Licheng and Xiangcheng, chose the rugged path of the mountain stream, shuttled through the city, and led the troops straight to Kaifeng City.

Knowing that Hou Ming was a wolf, Meng Kuo was frightened and covered in a cold sweat.

A few days ago, he had received news that Emperor Yan had captured Wucheng, was about to lead his army to Kaifeng in the north of the Song Kingdom.

According to the empress's requirements, he must end the battle of Lucheng before Emperor Yan led the army to Kaifeng, lead the troops back to help, and participate in the defense of Kaifeng.

Who knows, people are not as good as heaven, Hou Mingfeng took the initiative to avoid his edge, the sword pointed directly at Kaifeng City, he stationed heavy troops in Lucheng, but only defended a small number of ironclad infantry in Lucheng, it was really overkill, and pushed the Song State into danger.

However, if he abandoned Lucheng and went to pursue Hou Mingfeng's army, regardless of whether the other party shuttled through the mountain stream path, the Song army's chariot could catch up.

Just took the initiative to abandon Lucheng, if Lucheng was occupied by Zhao Hongru and his troops, Hou Mingfeng learned the news and suddenly killed a horse pistol, the Song army lost the defense of Lucheng, and faced the Yan army's east-west attack, the situation became more and more dangerous, and there was no chance to return to Kaifeng and participate in the defense of Luoyang.

In the palace, Meng Kuo's thoughts were anxious, like ants in a hot pot, walking back and forth, and there was no strategy to resist the enemy for a long time.

There is no solution, he can only pin all his hopes on the flying army.

In that year, Emperor Yan crossed the Yangtze River overnight with the help of the flying army and quietly appeared on the battlefield of the Song Kingdom.

If he succeeds in training the Flying Army, no matter how fast the Yan Cavalry Army is, he believes that the Flying Army will definitely arrive in Kaifeng before the Yan Cavalry and participate in the Kaifeng Defense Battle.

Perhaps, this is his only chance!

...........

Thousands of miles away from Lucheng, Kaifeng City,

In the past, the city wall was destroyed by the war, all repaired, and in the order of the empress, the city wall was strengthened to a full extent.

The defenders of the city wall, increased by a full triple, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, bed crossbows are placed in the aisle, bundles, bundles of spears, placed along the aisle.

In the prosperous city of Kaifeng, the merchants of the vassal states, hearing that Emperor Yan was about to lead his troops south, carried goods and money, and hurriedly evacuated.

In the past, the prosperous city was extremely depressed, and on both sides of the central main street, all the shops were closed, and the few maintainers were also blacksmiths, armor shops, or armor shops, and often people paid silver, took weapons and armor, and walked out of the shops.

Even, in front of many shops, wooden signs are erected, and the dragon and phoenix dance are written and typed, and those who defend Luoyang will receive weapons and armor for free.

In the prosperous area of the street, the imperial court recruitment notice is obvious, layer upon layer, and many government offices have temporarily become recruitment points.

In front of each recruiting point, there are long queues, and among those who join the army, there are young people who are fierce and fierce, there are also white-haired old people, and even, there are a few young women, who are also mixed in the recruitment team.

These soldiers, enthusiastic and determined, lived and died with Kaifeng City.

Everyone carried weapons in their hands, held iron shields, and was covered in armor, not like recruiting soldiers, but more like brave soldiers who were about to go on an expedition.

The Song Dynasty has the tradition of defending the country, Wucheng was broken, the news was transmitted back to Kaifeng, the empress did not hesitate, the Wucheng was broken, and Emperor Yan led the troops to break into the northern part of the Song State.

Therefore, near Kaifeng City, there was a boom in joining the army, and the number of soldiers recruited every day exceeded more than 10,000 people.

As Emperor Yan led the troops to approach Kaifeng City, the number of soldiers increased more and more, not only the people in Kaifeng City spontaneously joined the army, but also the people of the city near Kaifeng City also arrived in Kaifeng, ready to participate in the Kaifeng defense war.

The battle of Kaifeng Chen has not yet started, and the city is full of golden armor.

The Song army was not like defending the city, but more like waiting for the Yan army to arrive and start a battle to the death.

The Empress Palace, after the war, was seriously damaged, however, the craftsman urgently repaired, and the destroyed palace was restored, such as a new life, more and more majestic.

In the hall, the empress is dressed in a dragon robe, and the gold of the robe is embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, as if flying into the air.

The delicate face, slightly condensed, the letter in Su's hand was crumpled into a ball, fell to the ground, bounced hard, and rolled down into the corner.

Jian Ye was on the left side of the palace, witnessing the empress's angry expression, and realized that the news from the front line of eight hundred miles was rushed back, which would definitely be unfavorable to the Song Kingdom.

I couldn't help but tremble and asked softly: "Your Majesty, what happened, but Emperor Yan led the troops and arrived near Kaifeng City?"

"Meng Kuo sent back the news, Zhao Hongru and Hou Mingfeng converged in Yuecheng, Hou Mingfeng led hundreds of thousands of cavalry, avoided Lucheng, shuttled through the canyon path, and went straight to Kaifeng." The empress gritted her teeth, her pretty face bulged, unspeakable anger, and she was reluctant to tell the truth.

Liu Zhuoya's troops were defeated and captured, Li Mu's troops were defeated and executed, Tian Xu's troops were defeated and captured, Song Qi was severely damaged, and the Wu-Yue coalition army withdrew.

Now, even the barrier set up by Meng Kuo in Lucheng has been easily crossed by the Yan army, and hundreds of thousands of elite horsemen have rushed straight to Kaifeng City.

The Yan army is coming, the Song army is desperately short of troops, the situation is precarious, and she really has no good way to resolve this crisis.

When Jian Ye heard the sound, his face turned pale with fright, his body couldn't help but stagger, he noticed the gaffe, and hurriedly raised his hand to straighten out his court clothes, taking a long breath.

Emperor Yan led his troops from the north to the south, which had already posed a serious threat to the Song State. Now, Hou Mingfeng led the troops from Yuecheng to kill, and the number of cavalry led exceeded that of Emperor Yan.

If hundreds of thousands of Yan troops converge in Kaifeng City, this city that has stood in the east for thousands of years is afraid that it will be destroyed in a war.

Ponder for a moment. Jian Ye stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the Yan army of the two roads is menacing, and Kaifeng City may not be able to keep it, Weichen suggests that Your Majesty move the capital and go to the east, relying on the vast land of Chen State, and then make a plot."

In Jian Ye's opinion, staying in the green mountains is not worrying about running out of firewood. Instead of taking the risk of fighting with the Yan army in Kaifeng City, it was better to hurriedly transfer to the east and build defenses to resist the Yan army in the territory of Chen Guode.

It's a pity that the empress's face was pale, and she didn't adopt Jian Ye's words, and reminded sharply: "The Yan army is like a broken bamboo, posing a threat to the Song State, the old ministers of the Chen State, after learning the news, have led troops to revolt in various parts of the Chen State. What's more, as the son of heaven of the Song Kingdom, I will die in the imperial capital of the Song Kingdom, how can I escape from the battle, this matter does not need to be mentioned in the future."

The domestic situation of the Song Dynasty, the empress knows everything about it.

This time, Lin Feng recklessly conquered the Song State, wanting to use strong force to try to annex the Song State in vain, even if the Song State ended up in a miserable scene, she did not let Lin Feng be happy.

In the Kaifeng defense battle, the people in the city were martyred to death, and this city will also be the grave of hundreds of thousands of Yan soldiers.

When there was silence for a while, the empress stepped down from the high platform and asked Jian Ye in a cold voice, "At present, where is the Song army stationed in Chen Guode, where has it arrived, how many troops are raised in Kaifeng City, is the city defense strong, and can it block the attack of the Yan army?"

Reinforcements, recruits, and city defense are related to Kaifeng's city security, and any disclosure will be very likely to be seized by the Yan army, and they will defend Kaifeng for a long time and come to naught.

When Jian Ye heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and said: "Your Majesty, since the return of Chen Guo, the troops have all arrived in Kaifeng City within two days, and Weichen specially ordered to be stationed at the north gate to prevent Emperor Yan from leading troops to arrive in advance. The people in Kaifeng City joined the army enthusiastically, and in the past few days, more than 70,000 or 80,000 new troops have been recruited, and there is still a steady stream. However, Weichen suggested that he should give up recruiting troops, implement the strategy of all the people being soldiers, and issue a holy decree, anywhere, anyone, but anyone who has the heart to participate in the defense of Kaifeng, directly arrive in Kaifeng, and be reorganized by the generals of the imperial court. As for the city defense, the reinforcement has been completed as soon as possible, and the Yan army does not want to capture the city, but does not want to come in."

After speaking, Jian Ye took a long breath, looked up at the empress, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen dared to ask, the Red Pink Legion assassinated the empress and dissuaded Emperor Chu from sending troops, two things, is there any eyebrows at present?"

The Yan army pressed the border, and Jian Ye always believed that unless Song Qi and Meng Kuoqi led their troops back to Kaifeng and participated in the defense of Kaifeng, maybe the Song State could win in danger and defeat hundreds of thousands of Yan cavalry, otherwise, it would be difficult for the Song State to win this war by temporarily recruiting new troops and garrisoning 100,000 troops in Chen.

The best way to quell this war is to kill Emperor Yan, the initiator of the war, but unfortunately, the killers of the Song Kingdom, even assassinated one after another, have never succeeded, and even known as the most powerful, can influence the situation of the vassal states to win the Red Pink Army, and the news of the assassination of Emperor Yan has not been sent back.

The empress had a melancholy face and a sad expression, picked up the teacup on the dragon case lightly, moistened her throat and said: "Emperor Yan gave up the southern territory of Yan and threw out a piece of fat in defense, and the group of short-sighted kings in the south, in order to snatch this piece of fat, have long forgotten the existence of the giant Yan Kingdom in the north, and even did not hesitate to make a big move. I sent someone to send a message to the killer who was lurking in the Chu State, but unfortunately, I have not received a reply for a long time, and the Emperor of Chu has never sent troops.

Emperor Yan is lustful, but he knows the existence of the Song State Red Pink Army, and in addition, he was assassinated outside Wucheng, Emperor Yan was extremely cautious, and it was impossible to assassinate Emperor Yan on the march, unless Meng Qinxue and Mu Jinxi changed their minds."

Knowing that the assassination of Emperor Yan failed and Emperor Chu refused to send troops to help, Jian Ye secretly sighed, secretly sighed that the sky was eyeless, and pushed Song Guo into the fire pit.

For a while, the atmosphere in the empress's palace was extremely tense, as if the Yan army had already arrived in the city, and the atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating.

When the empress and Jian Ye were helpless, the guards outside the palace hurriedly walked in and saluted the empress: "Your Majesty, the prince of Song has sent back the news!"

Hearing the sound, Jian Ye hurriedly stepped forward, quickly grabbed the letter in the hand of the guard, quickly opened the letter, and browsed it in detail, and soon, in the melancholy face, the dark clouds dispersed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Song said that the Shu army crossed the Yangtze River and seized a large territory in the southwest of the Yan State.

"Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, not to mention that Zhang Yu is a fierce general of the Yan army, and it is extremely difficult for the generals of the Shu army to get benefits in front of Zhang Yu." The empress said lightly, she never pinned her hopes on Shu.

Jian Ye grabbed the letter and crumpled it into a ball, sighed and said, "I hate Emperor Yan for being aggressive, otherwise, how would the Song Kingdom end up in its current situation."

Looking at ten years ago, the Song State was still a hegemon in the north, and to destroy the Yan State was like stepping on an ant, who knows, in just ten years, the pattern of the north has changed dramatically, and the Yan State has become a giant that is difficult to shake, and the northern princes have been forcibly annexed in their iron cavalry expeditions.

Hearing Jian Ye's words, the empress was also very sad, but she still didn't give up, and he would never give up until the last moment.

In silence, two more guards outside the hall walked in at the same time and saluted in unison.

One of them took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the prime minister is in the south, and he has hit the Yan army and the water division hard, and now, the Yan State water division is concentrated on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and he has learned that the Song country is in danger, and the prime minister is leading the troops on the way back."

"Is that true?" Hearing this, the empress got up suddenly, supported her hands on the dragon case, and aggressively asked the guards.

Qin Ming inflicted heavy losses on the Yan army and naval division in the Yangtze River, although it could no longer change the pattern of the Yan and Song dynasties, but before the Song State was annexed, it was really shocking to cause casualties to the Yan army.

The guard didn't dare to hide the lie, and said, "Your Majesty, the prime minister's letter is here, and the villain doesn't dare to lie."

Jian Ye had seen the letter, quickly browsed it, verified the authenticity, and said: "Your Majesty, that's right, it's the prime minister's font,"

At this time, a smile gradually appeared on Lin Shuying's pretty face, and he immediately ordered: "Spread the news immediately and inform the people of the city."

After repeated defeats, finally, the Song army won the victory, proving that the Song army was not a local chicken and a dog in front of the Yan army, and had the ability to severely damage the Yan army.

With a smile on his face, Lin Shuying's film and television line shifted to the guard next to him and asked, "Do you also have any news to report?"

"Your Majesty, the pink killer in Chu has sent back the news that he has successfully lobbied the Emperor of Chu to send troops, at this moment, the Xuanjia soldiers and the soldiers of the Chu State are all on the way to the Song Kingdom, and the fast is ten days, and the slow is half a month, and they will definitely arrive in Kaifeng City."

When the empress heard the news, her confidence could not be calm for a long time, she picked up the teacup on the dragon case, drank it all, and then said coquettishly: "You say it again!"

Seeing the strange look of the empress, the guards were frightened, and stammered: "The Xuanjia soldiers and the righteous army of the soldiers of the Chu State are arriving on the road to the Song Kingdom, and the fast will be ten days, and the slow will be half a month, and one hundred thousand male soldiers will arrive in Kaifeng City."

Hearing this, Lin Shuying immediately sat on the dragon case, if it weren't for Jian Ye and the guards in front, she was afraid that she would laugh.

However, Jian Ye's face was calm, the Xuanjia soldiers of the Chu State and the Soldiers' Righteous Army had both been defeated in the hands of the Yan army, and it was difficult to find a general for a thousand troops, only a famous general led the troops, and these 100,000 reinforcements might change the situation.

couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Do you know who is leading the troops between the Chu army and the righteous army?"

I was in a hurry last night, and I accidentally intercepted the previous one, I'm really sorry.
