Chapter 61: The Battle of Jinyang (2)
The crazy wolves gnawed at the soldiers of the Han army, and the ground was full of stumps and broken arms, and blood and water were flowing turbulently, giving people a sense of shock.
The heat wave hit, and the smell of blood spread, making people vomit.
The round sun, as if listless, stared at all this, indifferent.
At this moment, on the horizon in the distance, 30,000 Song troops suddenly appeared on the battlefield in the north of the city, in addition to the Song army, there were 5,000 Xiazhou Li Guangrui's pro-army, 3,000 Linzhou troops and 3,005 Fuzhou troops.
Their sudden appearance here made the Han army a little helpless, their troops were not many, and most of them were conscripted into the city because of the state funeral, and the power of some military generals was also restricted.
Song Jun's clothes and armor are distinct, and suddenly a momentum eclipses the heaven and earth, although the sun is fierce, but the back of the Han army feels a swishing feeling.
The gloomy clouds are bleak and bleak, "woo woo woo ......" the vigorous and long Qiang flute sounded, it was the wolves trained by Li Guangrui of the Tuoba clan from Xiazhou, the wolves in the wolf pack were howling, they twisted their restless bodies, and aimed the wolf at the Han soldiers on the city gate, those Han soldiers saw this scene, all of them had their hair standing upside down, rows of miserable white wolf teeth were exposed to the sun, and some wolves still had blood and muscles left on their teeth, and they still remembered the situation vividly.
The two armies are only in a confrontation, and there is no subsequent conflict for the time being.
Li Guangrui sat on the saddle, fiddling with his pigtail with his right hand, and looked at the appearance of the Han army, he couldn't suppress his excitement, sat on the horse and laughed, at the same time he looked at the rear of the army, Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin was also sitting on the horse, his expression was complicated, Li Guangrui felt that he was the most powerful in the world, and suddenly felt that the wolf warriors he trained were the most heroic and fearless in the world, the more he felt like this, the more proud he was, he couldn't suppress the excitement, he instigated the horses under his crotch, Then run to the rear.
However, seeing the wolves trained by Li Guangrui's men, Zhao Kuangyin's face was not good-looking, although the wolves helped solve part of the Han army, but Zhao Kuangyin always felt that Xiazhou Li Guangrui was invisibly showing off Xiazhou's force, and the three northwestern states were like a cancer, they showed off their strength, although the relationship with the imperial court was harmonious, it was difficult to guarantee that one day they would also divide one side and set up their own door, which was not a good taste in Zhao Kuangyin's heart.
At this moment, Zhao Kuangyin saw Li Guangrui's crotch mount running towards his side, and his complicated face suddenly calmed down, "Li Qing's wolf iron horse is really not bad, and it can be regarded as an elite army in the northwest. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!" Inadvertently, the corners of Li Guangrui's mouth rose slightly, he lowered his head slightly, the corners of his eyes rose slightly, glanced at Zhao Kuangyin of the Mingguang Treasure Armor, and then arched his hand to Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Your Majesty, the next battle will be handed over to the minister." ”
Provocation, great provocation. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin said: "Your warriors have also worked hard, and it is really not easy to be talented, so I will hand it over to the imperial court at this moment, so that those who do not obey the royal way of the imperial court can taste it." The second half of Zhao Kuangyin's sentence obviously aggravated the tone.
Li Guangrui didn't do anything, he stayed by Zhao Kuangyin's side, looking respectful, since His Majesty said so, he immediately greeted, and the thousand wolves seemed to be induced, they withdrew in just a moment, and the whole battlefield felt a trace of peace.
Zhao Kuangyin saw the wolves retreating, so he ordered the soldiers of the rear army to carry some siege equipment.
Zhao Kuangyin held a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, looked at the city gate in the distance, and everything on the city tower could be seen clearly.
At this moment, on the north gate in the distance, a young general hurriedly ran to the city tower, his right hand was wrapped in a thick white cloth, and a lot of blood oozed from the white cloth, just now when he was rushing down the city gate, he was bitten by a sudden white wolf, so he fled quickly, but now as soon as he remembered the situation just now, his face was unusually pale, and he felt some faint pain in his arm, he immediately arched his hand after seeing Li Yin...... The Song army attacked the city too strongly, and the last generals defended the city, killing and wounding countless brothers, but ...... How can this be done? Looking at this situation now, this Jinyang City can't hold on. ”
This young general raised his head and looked at Li Yin in front of him expectantly, but there was a little playfulness in the corners of his eyes, if he hadn't escaped quickly, he would have been eaten alive by the crazy wolves, and the mutilated corpses under the city tower were the soldiers of the Han army.
Li Yin didn't know everything this young general said, but he frowned bitterly, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was a lot heavier, and although Jinyang was known as a strong city in the north, under the onslaught of the Song army's firearms, it was like tofu scum, and the whole city was crumbling, and all these changes came too quickly, he still vividly remembered the scene of the Zhou army besieging Jinyang, but now this situation? Fear......
The young general turned his attention to the side of the city wall, and saw that the cannon muzzle in the distance was already aimed at the city tower, and he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding welling up.
The situation is not good, at this time, suddenly an iron bullet hit the city gate, this iron bullet landed here, and in an instant, there was a loud bang, and suddenly a wall on the city wall collapsed, splitting a hole of different depths, bricks and stones flew wildly, and the banner of the Han army was also broken by the lazy waist in an instant, and all the Han soldiers present were also stunned, around this, there are still many Han soldiers who are so frightened that their legs are weak, if the iron bullet falls directly in front of them, the bloody scene will be terrifying.
Li Yin was frightened by everything suddenly, he connived and wanted to hide the fear in his heart, but this great enemy is current, the enemy's weapons are huge, if he gets it for a while, I am afraid that the defenders on the head of Jinyang City will also surrender without a fight.
But the young general in front of him raised his head, and suddenly blurted out: "Li Shuai, now that Jinyang is in danger, Li Shuai might as well follow Xiao Siwen's example, Emperor Song remembered the general's merits, and he is bound to give the general a brilliant future." After the young general finished speaking, he raised his head and kept looking at Li Yin in front of him.
"You ......" Li Yin was still struggling, he didn't know what to do, whether to surrender or ...... But the Song army's red. Bare. The naked threat made him feel a little palpitation, such a weapon is better against the wolves, can his own people who are weak can stand all this, Li Yin is very helpless.
Zhao Kuangyin, who was dressed in bright light armor, sat calmly on the brown and red horses, and the banner of the Song army behind him was also cool in the wind, and the faces of the soldiers of the Song army were like iron, and their expressions were also firm and unchanged.
Li Guangrui's face was black, like a deflated ball, the previous triumph was gone, and now he felt that Xiazhou was weak, and he now understood why the Song army was able to cut off the countries, it seems that this is the advantage of the Song army, he is only a few states in the northwest, how can he?
Li Guangrui is a smart man, he knows what he should do, at this moment he immediately turned over from the horse, and in a short time, he knelt on the ground and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty has this sharp weapon, I can get rid of the false Han, Fang Caichen has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, Yelang is arrogant, please forgive Your Majesty."
"Don't do this, I will believe in the loyalty of Li Jie." Zhao Kuangyin smiled meaningfully, "Envoy Li, it's too hot on the ground, you have to protect your body!" ”
Only then did Li Guangrui exhale, he got up from the ground, and said again and again: "Thank you Your Majesty for your love, and the ministers will do their best." After speaking, he straightened up, but he also bent slightly in front of Zhao Kuangyin, not daring to raise his eyes.
"There are kings all over the world, and I don't want so many enemies." Zhao Kuangyin smiled heartily, but Li Guangrui felt that his back was already wet.
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Guangrui nodded in approval.
"Envoy Li, I wonder if you have the confidence to persuade Li Yin on the city gate to surrender?" At this time, Cao Bin behind him had already walked up, and he said to Li Guangrui, who was standing in place.
Li Guangrui was stunned, and then recovered his expression, and then said: "General Cao, that Li Yin is just a horseman, and he has also received the attack of the wolves, Your Majesty's divine fire, if you don't surrender at this time, it will be too ignorant of current affairs."
Zhao Kuangyin immediately ordered: "This is also true, since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to Li Jie's envoy, I will beat the drum and beat in the rear, and I wish Li Jie's envoy a victory."
Li Guangrui understood what Zhao Kuangyin meant, he still wanted to kill his own prestige, but just now he also recognized the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, surrendered to the imperial court, and the Li family in Xiazhou was stable. However, His Majesty still needs to transfer me a thousand cavalry and a few firearms. ”
"It doesn't hurt." Zhao Kuangyin immediately transferred 1,050 cavalry and more than a dozen siege machinery from the rear army, which was a little more than Li Guangrui requested.
Li Guangrui was a little excited at the moment, and then Zhao Kuangyin handed these over to him.
The Qiang flute sounded again, and Li Guangrui summoned his wolves again, those wolves were even more ruthless than before, in the sunlight, the gray hair was black and shiny, and the Song cavalry of the 1,000-5 rear was also eyeing it, and gathered in an instant.
The dust on the ground covered the sky and the sun, and the Han army on the city tower saw all this, and the bottom of his heart was already low to the freezing point.
"Li Shuai, what can I do about this?" The rest of the Han army soldiers stood on end, looking at Li Yin in front of them.
Li Yin's scalp was numb, and it was difficult to make a choice for a while.
Surrender is the most humiliating for a soldier, and even more so for a general, not to mention that Li Yin's family is in Jinyang City, if Liu Jiyuan is in a bad mood, the first to suffer from the slaughter is his relatives. Li Yin is also worried about this, because he does not dare to make a decision easily, once this decision is made, he will have to bear the big consequences.
But at this moment, he seemed to see an acquaintance.
"Li Shuai, that's General Liu Jiye." General Li Ke enemy.
