Chapter 419: The Battle for the Liang Kingdom



Liang has reached the point of life and death, any straw, may crush the Liang country's hundreds of years of foundation, as a last resort, Liu Wenlong had to take unconventional means, beware of Suiyang City chaos, someone plotted against the wrong people, assassinated your brothers, and even he was replaced.

After all, in the history of vassal states, there are many precedents of killing one's father and brother to snatch the throne.

"Yes, don't worry, father!" Hearing this, the princes who were not convinced by each other looked at each other and looked at Liu Wenlong obediently.

At this moment, it is not brothers who turn against each other, when father and son become enemies, who dares to make trouble in secret, it will make Suiyang City's situation worse and worse, whether everyone can successfully defend Suiyang City, or leave Suiyang City safely, it is difficult to predict, let alone take the opportunity to ascend to the throne, unless you want to be the emperor of the dead country.

Soon, the fourth prince Liu Junxi concentrated 10,000 palace guards and went to the periphery of the palace, relying on the towering and thick palace walls as a basis, forming a tight defense.

The number of members of the palace guard is not large, it seems that there are only 10,000 people, but these wolf cavalry soldiers guarding the palace are not only the best equipped in the Liang country, but also most of them are fierce veterans on the battlefield, and they have many military merits, so they were selected to join the palace guard.

In the guard, the commander and the two deputy commanders, when they were in the wolf cavalry army, both showed outstanding military talents, and were promoted by Liu Wenlong to guard the palace and focus on training.

At this moment, when Liu Junxi led the commander of the guard and the two deputy commanders to the palace wall, Liu Junxi did not hesitate to say to the commander of the guard: "Han Fenghu, you lead two thousand people to build fortifications on the palace wall immediately, no matter how many enemy troops come, no matter how rich the opponent's combat experience is, I hope that under the condition of trying not to kill or inflict casualties, even if the pavilions and pavilions in the palace are demolished, it is necessary to form an impermeable defense, annihilate as much as possible, and at the same time, strictly prohibit the other party from approaching the city wall." ”

"Yes, the last general will lead people to action immediately." Han Fenghu hugged his fists.

Then Liu Junxi said to the two deputy commanders: "Zhao Weifeng, lead two thousand people, form a mobile force, on the palace wall, if there is any mishap, go to the rescue immediately, no matter how much it costs, you must hold on, and resolutely not let the enemy break into the palace." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Weifeng clenched his fists, led two thousand palace guards, and began to patrol the city wall.

At this time, there were only 6,000 people left around Liu Junxi, and Liu Junxi said to the remaining deputy commanders: "Ma Juncai, leave 2,000 people, closely monitor the movements of the enemy army, if you can't resist the enemy army, return to the palace immediately, protect your father and others and evacuate quickly!" ”

Ma Juncai looked up at Liu Junxi and asked with a puzzled expression: "The four princes, the remaining four thousand brothers, what should I do?" ”

Liu Junxi patted the armor on his body, looked out of the city, and said, "While the enemy army has not yet arrived, this king must go to the palace to set up an ambush." ”

"The fourth prince, the army that broke into Suiyang City is very likely to be the army of the Song State, although it is difficult for the other party to carry siege equipment because of the flooding, but it cannot be underestimated!" Ma Juncai said, secretly sighing that Han Fenghu and Zhao Weifeng left early, otherwise they could dissuade Liu Junxi with themselves.

At present, the flood outside the palace has not abated, the water level is still rising, and if he rushes out of the palace, even if he is not severely damaged or annihilated by the Song army, it is very likely to be swallowed by the flood, Ma Juncai dare not imagine.

However, Liu Junxi said with confidence: "Ma Juncai, this king knows that this battle is not trivial, but the palace guards are the elite division of the Liang Kingdom, wearing armor and fighting fiercely, in the face of the lightly armed Song army, they may not suffer losses!" What's more, when the Liang Kingdom is at stake, if the king does not come forward, who can still stop the enemy, at this time, you don't have to persuade anymore, do your part. ”

Ma Juncai was speechless, and could only watch as Yoo Junxi led four thousand guards out of the palace and lurked in the buildings outside the palace, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

At this time, Liu Junxi also knew that the palace had become a paradise in Suiyang City, and outside the palace, it was like a wild jungle, and it was possible to encounter fierce beasts anytime and anywhere, but the war was urgent, and he couldn't care about his personal safety.

Outside Suiyang City, Meng Kuo led 50,000 crossbow battalion soldiers, riding a raft, riding the wind and waves, braving the heavy rain to quickly approach the palace of Liang State, at present, the flood swept away a large number of wolf cavalry troops, and many were shot by the Song army, fortunately alive, either struggling in the flood, or hiding in various highlands, losing contact with the army.

Now that the Song army is in full swing, it wants to take the opportunity to destroy the royal family members of the Liang State and cause irreparable losses to the Liang State.

On the city wall, Feng Yi supported himself with difficulty, and led a wolf cavalry army of less than 10,000 people with Zhang Tiesheng, with a difficult demeanor, staggering and shuttling through the city wall, and quickly rushed towards the direction of the palace.

After this battle, more than 200,000 Liang troops in Suiyang City, gathered around Feng Yi, only the wolf cavalry army in the city wall remained, and the remaining army was either swept away by the water or shot by the Song army, and some people artificially avoided the water and hid in the rare highlands in Suiyang City, and the wolf cavalry army suffered heavy losses.

Feng Yi, who was hit by the flood, was greatly damaged, if it weren't for the urgency of the war in the city, at this moment, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on, and now he could take a small number of wolf cavalry to the palace to rescue, all with a breath in his heart.

When Meng Kuo led the crossbow battalion soldiers to arrive at the palace, due to the topography, the water had not yet spread under the walls of the palace, and on the flat square in front of the palace, except for a few people who had taken refuge, there was no trace of the defenders of the Liang Kingdom.

However, on the palace wall, the Liang army had already been strictly guarded, and Han Fenghu led two thousand palace guards to really demolish many palace buildings and temporarily build a tight defense on the palace wall.

Han Fenghu knew in his heart that at this moment, no matter what army broke into Suiyang City while the water was blowing, most of them would not carry heavy armor and equipment, otherwise the number of people who broke into Suiyang City would definitely not be too many, and at the same time, the boat raft would be overturned by the flood at any time, so most of his current arrangement in the palace wall was to resist the archers and those who forcibly attacked the city.

After demolishing the buildings in the palace, Han Fenghu built a temporary defense similar to a thatched hut on the palace wall, so the Liang army had to risk staying inside the palace wall, but it would greatly increase the casualties of the members of the guards, even if the other side was overwhelmingly attacked by arrows, it would rarely hurt the members of the guards.

Meng Kuo led the crossbow battalion soldiers to rush to the palace, dragged the raft to the square, and braved the heavy rain to start an attack on the Liang Palace.

What's more, Meng Kuo seems that the flood in Suiyang City is raging, and the wolf cavalry has suffered heavy casualties, and the first thing that the royal family members in the Liang Palace think of is not to stay and resist, but to flee in a hurry with the royal family.

Through the rain and fog in the air, Meng Kuo was surprised to see that the gate of the Liang Palace was closed, and the Liang army in the palace wall was strictly guarded, not only did not show any signs of evacuation, but on the contrary, he was violent, and he looked like he was at home.

Suddenly, anger rose in Meng Kuo's heart, and even hundreds of thousands of wolf cavalry were killed by himself, but the guards of the Liang Palace were whimsical and ready to forcibly block him.

Even if due to time reasons, the 50,000 crossbow battalion soldiers have not yet arrived, the Song army still has an advantage in numbers, Meng Kuo shook the raindrops on the sword, and said fiercely: "The whole army is attacking the city, breaking through the Liang Palace, and you can grab it at will." ”

Beside him, when Cao Kun and Ma Junran, the two lieutenants, heard Meng Kuo's order and wanted to say something, the crossbow battalion soldiers were already impatient and rushed forward.

Arbitrarily robbed, the place where it was robbed was still the core of the power of the Liang State, and how much wealth was hidden in it, it is not difficult to imagine that for the Song army, who charged into battle, relied on military merits, and made a living from military salaries, there was nothing more inspiring.

Cao Kun shook his head very helplessly, in order to win, Meng Kuo had become careless. In desperation, he could only lead the army to rush in the direction of Liang Palace.

The Song army moved, and the Liang army, which was fully prepared within the palace walls, was not weak, Han Fenghu looked at the Song army that rushed up, and focused on estimating the distance between the two armies, this war didn't know how long it would last, he didn't want to waste any arrows in vain, not even one.

What's more, the Song army was despicable, invaded Suiyang City with a flood, the people of Liang suffered hardships, and the loss of materials, money and food was serious, and in the face of the Song army, he had anger and revenge in his heart, so he must shoot as many Song troops as possible.

"Release, release!" When the Song army rushed through the square, less than two hundred meters away from the city wall, Han Fenghu shouted violently.

Suddenly, a large wave of arrows rained out from the palace wall, entrained in the rain, the speed may not be fast, but there are a lot of them, and after the rain of arrows, Liang Jun did not stop, and continued to shoot.

For a while, the charging Song army suffered a serious blow, and the leading generals Cao Kun and Ma Junran were aware of the harm caused by the rain of arrows to the Song army, after all, they were all generals of the crossbow battalion, and they knew best the damage caused by sharp arrows to flesh and blood under the rain of arrows and defenselessness.

In an instant, nearly a thousand charging Song troops fell under the rain of arrows, and the blood flowed on the ground, converging with the rain, and soon turned into pink blood water, flowing wantonly on the square, and on the Nuoda Square, it suddenly changed color.

Cao Kun and Ma Junran sensed that the situation was not favorable to the Song army, and quickly retreated, Cao Kun wore his hair scattered, his long hair soaked by the rain stuck to his face, and he came to Meng Kuo's side panting and said: "General, the defenders in the Liang Palace seem to be prepared, we have no defense, and sending brothers to attack the city is simply self-defeating." ”

Meng Kuo also noticed the actions of the Liang army, although there were not many soldiers defending the city, they were condescending and occupied a geographical advantage, while the Song army, without defensive equipment, recklessly attacked the city, and would only become a live target under the Liang army's arrows.
