"My great Song sons, today is the time for you to serve the motherland." At the oath meeting, Wang Quanbin picked up the wine jug and sprinkled it on the raging flame.

"Snort-" The flames burned more and more intensely, and the air around them was filled with the smell of spirits, and the whole person was shocked when he heard it.

The soldiers roared like tigers. "The Great Song will win—"

"The Great Song will win—"

The entire Fengzhou City was awe-inspiring.

In the early morning of the next day, on the sixth day of the first month of November, Wang Quanbin's army officially set out from the south of Fengzhou City to attack Xingzhou City.

Wang Quanbin out of Fengzhou City, saw the Shu country surrounded by mountains, towering into the clouds, across the Qinling Mountains, between the mountains and forests, there seem to be some military villages distributed, according to Zhang Hui, this is some military villages outside Xingzhou City.

The scout immediately reported: "Marshal Qiyu Wang, the mountains and forests ahead are all military villages, and the enemy does not seem to have made any preparations. ”

When Wang Quanbin heard this, he hurriedly summoned the vanguard commander Li Shoujie. Li Shoujie rode his horse to Wang Quanbin's side and said, "Marshal, what's the situation?" ”

Wang Quanbin took out the march map and instructed: "Commander Li, you see that the terrain of this Changju County is gentle, but there is no need to worry about it, but this south is distributed among the mountains and forests, and it must be an ambush for the Shu people, so you should go and investigate." If there are Shu soldiers, you will lead the sweep of the villages. ”

"Shi Baoxing, Hu Yanzan, the two of you will follow Commander Li's dispatch." Immediately, Wang Quanbin waved his hand again, and asked Shi Baoxing and Hu Yanzan to follow Li Shoujie to break through several military villages.

"Order." Li Shoujie immediately led his 5,000 men and horses, prepared dry food and water, and headed towards the mountains and forests ahead.

Wang Quanbin rode his horse in place, and then asked Cui Yanjin to lead 8,000 soldiers and horses to another military village, and Zhao Xin sent 7,000 men and horses to that side, and attacked from the side, and then attacked together with Li Shoujie's army.

The rest was handed over to Wang Quanbin's army as the main offensive and defensive attack, attacking head-on.

Li Shoujie led 5,000 soldiers and horses along the mountain and forest trails, bypassing Changju County, and came to the mountains and forests in the south, walking a day and a night on the wild road, the soldiers all stopped to rest in the mountains and forests, and after a moment of recuperation, Li Shoujie led the soldiers and horses to the south.

Gradually, there was no road ahead, and occasionally a few yellow sheep, wild deer and rabbits could be seen in front of them.

Shi Baoxing said: "General Li, a large number of houses were found halfway up the mountain ahead, and there were Shu soldiers in them, who were cooking on the fire, and it seemed that there were not many of them. ”

At this time, Li Shoujie took out the map again, "That's right, there is a swallow in front of you." ”

Li Shoujie and a team once again probed the situation of the swallows in front of them. The military village found in front is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the place where the arch guards in the middle is the swallow bar.

The terrain of Yanziqi is dangerous, as long as they hold the left and right paths, they will immediately guard this military village, but at this moment, there seems to be little movement in Yanziqi, and they don't know that the Song army has appeared here.

Li Shoujie took out the clairvoyant mirror and began to observe. Judging from the situation in the clairvoyant mirror, there are not many people in the cottage, and if the Song army breaks through the swallow bar, it will definitely succeed. And later, according to the scouts, it was reported again that there were about a thousand guards for the swallows.

It's just that it's late today, and it's not suitable for night battles, so after Li Shoujie discussed with all the soldiers, he planned to launch the battle of the swallow when the morning light was faint the next day.

Before dawn, Li Shoujie ordered to wait for the first ray of light after eating and drinking. The sky finally got a little brighter, and Li Shoujie immediately ordered an attack.

The Song army suddenly appeared from the mountain road, just because the night intersected with the day. The Shu soldiers couldn't see it clearly.

The Song army had already rushed to the front of Yanzi, and Shi Baoxing and Hu Yanzan had been specially trained, and they killed all the Shu soldiers guarding in front of the Yan because they had received special training.

Li Shoujie didn't expect the two of them to be so neat, he widened his eyes and said, "Twenty, in a moment, you are all killed!" ”

"Hehe-he-" the two of them touched their heads and laughed.

The Shu army guards were killed in an instant, Li Shoujie led the Song army to immediately attack the east side of Yanziqi, according to yesterday's investigation, the east side of the force is slightly weaker, Li Shoujie brought the soldiers and horses, has completely occupied the east side. And on the west side, there was the sound of the Song army fighting against the Shu army.

"Shi Xianxian, Huyan Xianfeng, the two of you each lead five hundred people forward."

Shi Baoxing and Hu Yanzan didn't say a word, and they could lead the troops to fight.

The sky had just woken up, and the Shu army was still sleeping peacefully in the swallow barn, and was surrounded by some Song army soldiers who suddenly came.

"Lay down your arms and spare you from dying." Shi Baoxing used his grappling hand to capture a guard in the house.

"Grandpa spares his life-" The guard wanted to pick up the spear beside him, but unfortunately was subdued by Shi Baoxing's three punches and two feet, "I surrender, I surrender." ”

Shi Baoxing immediately took out a rope and tied him to the pillar in the house.

On Huyanzan's side, one person had already killed five or six, and the rest of the people saw Huyanzan and just huddled in the corner with their weapons.

"The thief is not tied up yet." Huyanzan approached quickly, snatched the weapon from his hand, and then grabbed his throat with his fingers.

"Grandpa's spare my life—" The man's body was already soaking wet.

Huyanzan threatened: "Quickly let your men surrender, otherwise your life will be suspended." ”

The man pecked at rice like a chicken and said, "Yes." ”

An hour later, Yanziqi had been completely occupied by the Song army, and the Song army had wounded 200 people, and the Shu army had surrendered more than 700 people, and nearly 300 had died.

This time, the Song army harvested 1,000 stone grain and 100 pairs of armor in Yanziqi.

Inevitably having a long night and many dreams, Li Shoujie ordered all those who surrendered to escort away the grain and ordnance of Yanziqi with the soldiers of the Song army.

On the north side of the city, Wang Quanbin led the army to break through the obstacles in front of him and arrived not far from the city of Xingzhou.

The scout came to report again: "Report -- Commander Li has broken through the Yanzi Fortress this morning, and our army has suffered 200 casualties, captured 700 prisoners, 1,000 stones of grain, and 100 weapons and armor. ”

After listening to the scout's report, Wang Quanbin immediately nodded, and said in high spirits: "Okay, yes, Ben Shuai didn't see the wrong person." ”

Wang Quanbin immediately rode his horse and led the troops to the gate of the north city of Xingzhou, where he waited for Cui Yanjin, Zhao Xin, and Li Shoujie's soldiers and horses, and at the same time observed the deployment of the city defense of Xingzhou City.

Wang Quanbin immediately sent someone to the north gate of Xingzhou to shout, but the city gate was still closed, Wang Quanbin ordered someone to shoot the persuasion document into the city tower, but after waiting for a day and a night, there was no movement.

Two days later, Cui Yanjin, Zhao Xin and others attacked Qianqudu, Wancheng, Yanzi and other villages, and the Shu army also knew that several large military villages outside the city had been wiped out one after another, and the food in the city was decreasing day by day, and the reinforcements had not yet arrived.

That night, snowflakes began to fall in the sky over Xingzhou City, and Xingzhou Thorn Shi Lan Siwan was shocked when he heard that the two stoppers had lost, because the soldiers and horses of Xingzhou were all arranged in Zhuqi. These fortresses were breached, and Xingzhou City would be in no danger to defend.

Lan Siwan has been very helpless in the past few days, and the sky is not beautiful, and it began to snowflake again, Wang Quanbin led more than 10,000 elite soldiers outside the city, eyeing each other, camping in one word, and the entire foot of the mountain to the outside of the city has also been surrounded.

Lan Sijuan's side said helplessly: "Blue Thorn History, our army is not strong enough, is it ......?"

Snowflakes are falling, foggy on all sides, Xingzhou is like fluttering in the wind, shivering in the wind and snow, although this city seems to be unbreakable, but the grain and grass can no longer support it, and the messenger he sent a few days ago does not know if there is a reply.

Retreat, he also thought about it, Lan Siwan thought for a while, and then said: "I've been waiting for a few days, now that the snow is closing the mountains and closing the road, I'm afraid the reinforcements won't be able to reach Xingzhou, you order someone to tie some scarecrows tonight, and then put on armor and stand on the four city gates." ”

"The blue thorn is smart, this is called an empty city plan." After the general went down, he began to order people to tie scarecrows.

After everything was ready, many "Shu soldiers" guarding the city wall suddenly appeared above the city gate.

At night, no one noticed that a team had quietly left Xingzhou City.

The next day, Wang Quanbin saw that Shu had not surrendered, and he saw that there were many more soldiers in the city, so he wanted to observe, but the snow was falling, and the surrounding area was white, and even the air was gray, and the clairvoyant mirror had lost its effect today.

A few days later, on November 12, the snow stopped.

Wang Quanbin's side has gathered all the soldiers and horses and the Shu soldiers who have just surrendered, a total of 60,000 or 70,000, Wang Quanbin took out a clairvoyant mirror to observe the situation on the city tower. Suddenly, he chuckled in his heart, "It's not good, this is a scarecrow placed by the enemy, no wonder the people above are not moving." ”

Cui Yanjin and the others picked up the clairing mirror and saw that this Shu people were really despicable, and the Song army had lost a favorable opportunity to attack......

"Fuck—"

Wang Quanbin gave an order, and the ladder was erected on the city wall. The Song army successfully climbed the city wall, and then used bayonets to cut down all these scarecrows who were dressed in military uniforms and armed with weapons.

The vanguard of the Song army entered the city, and then put down the drawbridge, and Wang Quanbin's army entered the city.

Shi Baoxing said: "It's really clever, but it seems to be in the wrong place." ”

Hu Yanzan said: "This is not necessarily, sometimes the loss of a city is not necessarily a bad thing, it is not only in the art of war, virtual and real, as the saying goes, give up, give to gain." Therefore, our army should always be vigilant. ”

Shi Baoxing listened and nodded.

Li Shoujie said: "An empty city, I didn't expect Lan Siwan to escape." ”

Cui Yanjin said: "It's okay this way, my Song army can enter the city safely, avoid casualties, and maybe there will be unexpected gains." ”

"Damn-" Zhao Xin scolded, "Shrinking turtle, did he think it was Zhuge Kongming?" ”

Wang Quanbin just watched all this silently.

Immediately, the Song army entered the city to rectify the military administration in the city, and found that more than 400,000 stone of military food was left in the city, which made the Song army very excited, and then Wang Quanbin issued Zhao Kuangyin's edict to exempt the people from taxes and labor.

The Song army has since taken control of Xingzhou.

Under Xingzhou, there Wenzhou Assassin Shi Quan Shixiong overnight, he turned into the arms of the Song army, Wenzhou Assassin Shi Quan Shixiong announced Wenzhou's surrender to the Song State, and at the same time announced the edict of the Great Song Emperor, announcing that Wenzhou would be exempted from taxes for one year and conscription for three years.

After hearing this, the people of Wenzhou didn't care whether they were the people of Shu or the Song Kingdom, and they all thanked the kindness of the Great Song official family.

……

The mountains and rivers in Shu are dangerous, and the snow is falling, and the road that Wang Zhaoyuan traveled is the road of Zhuge Kongming three out of Qishan in the past.

On November 13, the snow was still falling on Wang Zhaoyuan's side, and after he came out of Chengdu, he had been leading 20,000 or 30,000 carved faces to walk slowly in the wind and snow.

The wind blew as sharp as a blade, and the cold wind was biting, so it was indeed not a good day to rush into the army.

Some officers and men in the army seemed to be complaining, but Wang Zhaoyuan looked as if he was not afraid of the enemy. "My Erlang of Shu Kingdom, the Song army is in the north of Xingzhou at the moment, and this battle is a great opportunity for you to make contributions."

Wang Zhaoyuan shouted, and the sound of the wind blowing in his ears was dejected, and the soldiers of Shu naturally knew that they had a little courage to face the Song army in front.

Xingzhou Assassin Shi Lan Siwan led more than 1,000 people, and after escaping from Xingzhou City, he retired to Baoxi County, and at the same time ordered someone to pass the report of the fall of Xingzhou to Wang Zhaoyuan and them
