Chapter 272 Fanzhou

Ou Xifan shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay! But as for how much food I borrowed, I can't guarantee it! After all, although I have been entrusted by the prince, it is also because there is no one around the prince who is familiar with the affairs of Anhua Prefecture."

Luo Baonan and Liao Ao are waiting for Ou Xifan's sentence, where will there be opinions? At the moment, they all said generously: "No matter what the result is, the people of Xia Anhua Prefecture will remember Mr.'s kindness!" ”

Since the conditions have been negotiated, the first condition was naturally agreed. Hypocrisy also depends on the situation!

"Feng Changqi's wife of the thief is quite brave, and there are three hundred guards under him, I can't take it for a while, Mr. Wanwang will be a while!" Luo Baonan said sincerely to Ou Xifan.

Ou Xifan said: "I naturally know this, but it's just this matter, I also have to go back and deal with the prince, otherwise I'm afraid I will miss the prince's big thing." In this way, these people have to be taken within five days, and then they will be handsome...... Oh no! Now it's supposed to be called Lord Thorn! When the time comes, Lord Assassin, you will send a messenger to send a head, and the prince will naturally understand your loyalty! ”

Although Luo Baonan was a little regretful, he still expressed his understanding.

On the same day, Luo Baonan entertained Xifan in the palace of King Yue and gave him a reward. It turned out that Ou Xifan only said that it was 500 yuan, and suddenly found that he had misestimated. It's actually five hundred taels of golden sand! Jinsha is not red gold, red gold means pure gold, and Jinsha needs to be further purified. Although the gold content of one or two golden sands generally reaches at least 75 percent, in fact, one or two golden sands is only worth about seven coins of red gold. After all, Jinsha still needs to be purified, and the cost of production is required here.

Even so, Ou Xifan secretly smacked his tongue. One tael of red gold can be exchanged for ten yuan on Guangnan West Road. In other words, these five hundred taels of golden sand are equivalent to three thousand five hundred yuan!

In addition, Luo Baolan spared no effort to win over Ou Xifan. When Ou Xifan left, he personally went to the city gate to see him off, and also presented a superb horse. In fact, this horse is not very tall, but it is four feet six inches, in the Central Plains, although it is considered a good horse, but it is definitely not close to the best.

It's just that in Quang Nam West Road, which is rich in bantam horses, this is indeed a superb horse! Ou Xifan was even more happy, said goodbye to Luo Bao with a smile on his face, and immediately hurried to Longshui City.

Before Ou Xifan arrived in Longshui City, he had already met Zhao Yu, who was sending troops to attack Fanzhou.

On the battlefield, Zhao Yu stood on a high slope and rode a black horse. The majestic steel lion helmet on the head, the lifelike relief lion, is intimidating. There is a long red tassel hanging from the back of his head, dancing in the wind, like a fire. He was draped with a pair of iron leaves and fish scale armor; The waist is tied with a gold beast face belt, made of stainless steel on the front and back sides, and the heart goggles are round like a mirror; Hung on it was a collar of crimson flower robes, on which hung two green velvet ties; Wear a cross-boot underneath with a bias leather air.

Although the battlefield is a little chaotic, Zhao Yu is like the sun in the sky, no matter what the situation, he is the most dazzling existence.

After announcing his name, Ou Xifan came to Zhao Yu, and his eyes couldn't help but condense slightly. Wood change? How could this guy be by the prince's side?

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Ou Xifan didn't dare to ask Zhao Yu about it, so he turned over and dismounted respectfully, saluted, and said, "The student sees the prince." ”

"Oh! It's Shaobao! Coming back so soon, it seems that things are going well! Zhao Yu slightly shifted some of his attention from the battlefield to Ou Xifan, and said with some inattention.

"Thanks to the prince's Hongfu, this trip went smoothly, Luo Baonan has already agreed to surrender! And the student's younger brother has also stayed in the Anhua Prefecture area halfway, and I believe that there will be good news back soon! Ou Xifan said respectfully.

"This is where your skill lies, this king doesn't believe in dragging any blessings!" Zhao Yu waved his horsewhip disapplauded.

After a pause, Zhao Yu continued: "Let's talk about the matter of Anhua Prefecture later." Things are going well anyway, so it's okay to listen to it later. Here with this king, see how the warriors of my Great Song Dynasty captured this city. ”

Fanzhou is said to be a city, but in fact it is just a mountain!

It is built on the top of a hill and is divided into an inner city, an outer city, and a tooth city. It sounds like a huge one, but it's actually divided by wooden walls or even wooden fences. It is completely different from the city of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to evaluate the difference.

On the wooden wall stood a hundred and ten brute soldiers, holding rudimentary hunting bows, bending their bows and arrows like a storm, and one arrow after another was thrown out as fast as they could.

Outside the wooden walls, about 200 Song soldiers were attacking with siege weapons. These 200 soldiers of the Song Army, just looking at them, makes people's hearts feel creepy.

Not to mention everyone's helmets and armor, it can be seen that the swollen body is not wearing one heavy armor, at least two. The polished smooth nail leaves shimmer in the sunlight. Three siege vehicles slowly advanced, the siege vehicles are different from the house shape of ordinary siege vehicles, and a large wooden shield is erected on the front, and the wooden shield is smeared with river mud to prevent enemy rockets from igniting the siege vehicle.

Crossbowmen in light armor hid behind siege engines. Especially crossbowmen, crossbowmen take a long time to wind, and they must also be wound in place. It is easy to be taken care of by enemy archers, resulting in a sharp drop in the rate of fire. However, with this special siege vehicle to take care of, after shooting a crossbow arrow, immediately hide behind the siege vehicle and wind it, which is called a stress-free one.

The crossbow bolts shot by the strong crossbow made a loud noise, and the sound of whistling was loud. landed on the wooden wall, and immediately popped, and the small half was submerged in the wooden wall. fell on the brute, and it directly came to a double hole, penetrating the barbarian's unarmored body.

And the rain of arrows of the barbarians seems to be huge, but they are just arrows that use bones as arrows and fall on the soldiers of the Song army, how powerless it is. On the battlefield, a Song soldier can often be seen advancing with more than a dozen arrows stuck in his body. Or it is more appropriate to hang it, because those arrows only penetrate the first armor, and there is no strength.

There is no way to cause damage to the opponent with his own attack, and the opponent's attack, if he is a little lax, is to lose a living surname.

The huge gap made the morale of the barbarians in Fanzhou plummet. The siege vehicle advanced near the wooden wall, and rumbled into it more than a dozen times, and immediately a row of wooden walls collapsed. The brute on the wooden wall screamed and fell along with the wooden wall. Although the wooden wall was not very high, no brute soldier fell to his death unless he was hit by a piece of wood.

The follow-up Song soldiers turned these lucky ones as a result, and rushed in fiercely with sharp blades in hand, and one brute after another fell in a pool of blood.

"Fanzhou can be decided!" Mu Chang, shouldn't it be called Yang Yu now, and said to Zhao Yu with a calm face. "Here, I want to congratulate the prince!"

Zhao Yu glanced at Yang Yu, smiled, and did not speak.

Ou Xifan couldn't help but look at Yang Yu, and then looked at Zhao Yu's back. Doubts suddenly arise in my heart, and at the same time, I can't help but feel a sense of crisis. This Mu Chang (Ou Xifan doesn't know Yang Yu's real name) is the town [***] division of Anhuaman in the past, and he only has a lot more information about Anhuaman than himself. If you lose the advantage of being familiar with the 'Anhua Barbarian Affair', can you quickly rise to the top by the side of the prince?

Just as Ou Xifan's thoughts were circulating, "Woo! Woo! Woo! A terrible horn sounded, like a badly wounded wolf.

Zhao Yu's eyes froze, and the originally closed gate of Fanzhou City suddenly opened at the same time as the horn sounded.

In the sunlight, a man rode a red horse, wearing scarlet armor, a red scarf on his head, and a fire cloud boot on his feet. Horses are like fire, people are like the sun, like a surging flame, straight to Zhao Yu. Behind it, there were more than a dozen cavalrymen and dozens of elite brute soldiers.

The Song army in front was caught off guard, and a group of Song troops caught up with the red-armored barbarian general. I saw that the barbarian general was holding a three-pointed two-edged knife, and his courage was abnormal, and he had already killed two Song soldiers in a row in a roar. Under his leadership, the morale of the barbarians under his command was high, and this group of barbarians who were not large in number was like a peerless blade, cutting the waist of the Song army that blocked it, and it was full of beauty in the roughness.

"I wonder why there are so many hundred and ten barbarians on the city wall of Fanzhou, originally thinking of inserting a knife into this king. The idea is good, and it seems brave to look at the brute general. But it's too underestimating my Song Army, right? Who's going to meet that guy for a while! Zhao Yu squinted his eyes, flashing with a fierce light, and his voice was cold.

The generals knew that Zhao Yu was already a little angry. Not only because of the loss of that group of Song troops, but also because the Song army was too proud before, and under carelessness, it would be broken by the enemy.

Under Longshui City, the Song army broke 25,000 barbarians with 900, under this proud achievement, the Song army seemed to be like a rainbow, but there was a hidden arrogance underneath.

In fact, Zhao Yu was not as angry as he appeared, and after being angry for a while, Zhao Yu was secretly grateful to the red-armored brute general. He also discovered that he had unconsciously become proud. If you are like this, then you can imagine the generals and soldiers under your command! As the saying goes, the arrogant army will be defeated, and it is better to suffer some setbacks now than to suffer setbacks when attacking Anhua Prefecture!

At this moment, Yang Wenguang drove forward, hugged Zhao Yu on horseback, and said: "Lord Wang, that barbarian general is so arrogant, he really hates it, so let the last general come out of the horse and take off his head and give it to the prince!" ”

Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little bit of love for talent here, hesitated slightly, and said: "Try not to kill this guy, although this guy is hateful, but he is a fierce general, and he is a little witty." ”

"The last general obeys!" Yang Wenguang hugged his fist on horseback and led a team of soldiers and horses to kill out.

Yang Wenguang came up to the front, and just happened to meet the red-armored barbarian general who had broken a team of Song troops, and excitedly screamed in barbarians. The soldiers of the Song army slowly retreated in horror, and the barbarians rushed unrelentingly. The Song army was defeated and retreated, which became a strong contrast with the previous momentum.

Yang Wenguang is called an anger! Carrying a bright silver spear, he rushed forward and roared: "The barbarian is rampant! Eat me a shot! ”

Seeing this, the red-armored barbarian general's eyes lit up, and he roared in a blunt official voice: "Finally, a dog official has come, look at my head!" ”

The two horses are crossed, and the two weapons are raised at the same time.

"Bell! Clang! In a short moment, Yang Wenguang and the red-armored barbarian had already exchanged two blows with the weapons in their hands. But no one could help anyone, but both of them were secretly hurt by the shock's wrists.

Yang Wenguang secretly exclaimed in his heart: I didn't expect this guy to have such a lot of strength, and the three-pointed two-edged knife in my hand was much heavier than the bright silver gun in my hand. If you continue to fight, I will be the one who suffers. No way! You have to use stratagem!

"The dog officer is amazing! But I'm not bad, eat me with a knife! The red-armored barbarian turned the horse's head, faced Yang Wenguang, and opened his mouth. picked up the three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand, slapped his horse and rushed towards Yang Wenguang.

Not to be outdone, Yang Wenguang released the reins of the horse with his left hand and controlled the horse with his feet alone. With a roar, the bright silver spear in his hand stabbed out, and the stab shook in the air halfway. When the red armor was near, several brilliant spear flowers like pear blossoms had already been shaken out. This flower looks good, but it contains the danger of taking people's lives.

The red-armored barbarian knew that it was powerful, and let out a roar like a beast, and the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand slashed out from top to bottom. It is like a galaxy falling into the mortal world, and it is like a silver moon falling into the world.

Yang Wenguang's gun flower is certainly good-looking, but it is better than a clever word. The power was inevitably scattered, and the red-armored barbarian slashed down, but it was like a rainstorm hitting a pear blossom, and the spear flower turned into nothing in an instant.

"Lord Wang, this guy is really difficult to deal with, let the last general go up and go back!" Shen Qizong couldn't help but be anxious when he saw Yang Wenguang below. Hurriedly drove forward, holding a patterned forged steel gun and begging for battle.

Zhao Yu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, this king believes in Zhongrong, wait a while!" ”

Let's say that Yang Wenguang, after being broken by the red-armored barbarian, immediately drove the horse diagonally to dodge. The momentum immediately fell, and the red armor man shouted at the excited melon. The two turned their horses' heads again to fight, you came and went, entangled, four arms vertical and horizontal, eight horses' hooves messed up. The knives snatched and struck, blooming a little bit of sparks, like blooming sparks, and like a falling galaxy.

The two fought for more than ten rounds, although they didn't know whether they won or lost, but in fact, Zhao Yu and them could already see that Yang Wenguang had fallen into the disadvantage.

At this time, Yang Wenguang suddenly screamed, his left arm was slashed, and the nail leaves splashed. Yang Wenguang hurriedly turned the horse's head and fled in panic.

What would the red-armored barbarians do? Roaring at the moment, driving the horse in pursuit.

Zhao Yu was also taken aback, this red-armored barbarian general is too powerful, right? Although Yang Wenguang's martial arts are weaker than himself, he can be regarded as a first-class general in the army.

Shen Qizong was afraid that Yang Wenguang would go to his surname, and he didn't wait for Zhao Yu's orders, so he sent a horse to the rescue. "Lord Wang, the last general will go to save General Yang!"

At the moment, the battlefield was turbulent, and the tide of battle was turned upside down.

I saw that Yang Wenguang was being chased, but he suddenly turned around and shot him. The red-armored barbarian thought that the general of the Song Army, who had been beaten by himself like a lost dog before, still had the strength to fight back?

This guy is also a good man, and suddenly saw a little cold star blooming, and forcibly twisted his waist. The bright silver spear brushed the head of the red-armored barbarian, the original red turban was also picked off, and a few strands of black hair were cut into sections. It's just that the crisis has not passed, and the red-armored barbarian has avoided the people, but the center of gravity is unstable, "Oops! With a thud, he fell from his horse to the ground.

It was also thanks to the cleverness of the red-armored general that he took his feet out of the stirrups in time. Otherwise, if you are dragged by a war horse, you will be seriously injured if you don't die, and you will have to be killed on this battlefield.

It's just that the red-armored general has just stood up on the ground, but Yang Wenguang has already turned the horse's head while the iron is hot and hit the horse. The three-pointed two-edged knife in the hand of the red-armored general had been knocked down, and he had to pull out the long knife at his waist to face the enemy. It's just that the long knife hasn't been pulled out yet, and Yang Wenguang has already rushed over, sweeping the bright silver spear in his hand, knocking the red-armored barbarian to the ground.

The nearby Song officers and soldiers cheered, rushed up with ropes, and tied the red-armored barbarian into a zongzi.

Yang Wenguang laughed excitedly, like a god of war on horseback.

The red-armored barbarian was not convinced, spit bloody spit, and said angrily in blunt official words: "You dog official, you are just cheating, you are really not a good person!" The win is not glorious, I am not convinced! Not convinced! ”

"I don't know if I'm tired of cheating? What a brute! Yang Wenguang was on horseback, laughed, and said coldly.

The red-armored general was still unconvinced, and his mouth began to scold.

Yang Wenguang's face turned dark, if it weren't for Zhao Yu's scruples of capturing this barbarian alive, Yang Wenguang would really give this barbarian a shot without saying a word. Avoid this guy babbling nonsense here, and listening to himself upset.

The red-armored barbarians were captured alive, and the other barbarians who originally wanted to raid Zhao Yu naturally lost their spirit. Surrounded by a large army, they either surrendered or were killed on the spot, and no one was able to escape.

And Fanzhou was naturally conquered by the Song army without any doubt. This state, which has a population of tens of thousands, was removed from the list in this way.

Zhao Yu asked people to burn this so-called Fanzhou city to the light, and escorted the captured Fanzhou people all the way to the plains. In the near future, fifteen villages will be built here, and these villages will be made up of people from Fanzhou and people displaced by the war. Maybe some contradictions will break out in the early stage, but Zhao Yu believes that after twenty or thirty years, there will be no longer the term Fanzhou people. The people of Fanzhou will become Song people who speak official language and wear Chinese clothes.

Of course, these are things for the future. Now Zhao Yu led his troops to escort the people of Fanzhou to the bank of the Longshui River, and more than 3,000 Song troops and servant troops set up camp together. Zhao Yu's Chinese army tent was naturally the first to be built, and it was inside. Ou Xifan reported to Zhao Yu word by word all the things in Anhua Prefecture on this mission.

Speaking of the back, Ou Xifan respectfully took out the leather bag containing five hundred taels of golden sand, and said, "Lord Wang, the golden sands are all in it." The student accepted it at that time, and he pondered using it for the prince's soldiers! ”

Zhao Yu was not polite, this war came suddenly. Zhao Yu didn't have much preparation, although he won, but this money and silver were indeed very scarce. Fortunately, the first batch of money and grain from Xiangshang had been delivered, otherwise Zhao Yu would not have had the confidence to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take the root of this rebellion - Anhua Prefecture.

With these five hundred taels of golden sand, Zhao Yu naturally increased his confidence.
