Chapter 3 Flying Stone General Liao Chang

Standing on the high wall of Kaide Mansion, looking down on the plain outside the city, and the surging Yellow River flowing from the plain, his face full of flesh was full of both a high sense of superiority and a wolf-like vigilance.

Liao Chang thought to himself, a year ago, who would have thought that I, Liao Chang, a little white member of Kaide Mansion, would be able to control the entire Kaide Mansion? Those wealthy families who used to despise me now don't nod their heads to me. Those ignorant villagers who used to curse me in secret, who doesn't respect me like a ghost now?

Looking at the scoundrels surrounding him, Liao Chang felt more and more the importance of his choice, if he hadn't taken refuge in time with the Jin people when they went south, how could he have been in the mix, maybe he was still a white man who didn't even have a fart.

Thinking of this, Liao Chang's eyes became more fierce when he looked at the Yellow River in the south, it is not easy for Lao Tzu to get this step, whoever wants to take Lao Tzu's city, Lao Tzu will let him taste the power of my scales.

It turned out that this Liao Chang was originally a street scoundrel, but later put on an official uniform and became a white officer in charge of cleaning the street. Led a few splashes all day long, dangling around the city, and couldn't get along with small merchants and vendors. This person likes to carry a big scale in his hand, and when he sees a small trader who is not convinced, he is facing a scale of stones, and he really cracks the melon and cracks the head.

Later, the more he fought, the more comfortable he became, Liao Chang simply took the weighing stone as his personal weapon, and put a long iron chain on the weighing stone, which could fly out at any time and knock down the hawker who ran a few feet away.

Since this hand was practiced, Liao Chang has become famous in the rivers and lakes, and he is nicknamed Fei Bang General, also known as Meteor Stone.

In the second year of Jingkang, in the spring, the Jin people went south. Kaide Mansion as an important town in Hebei, the city wall is tall, the moat is several zhang wide, although the terrain is also a plain, but if you rely on the city to defend, there is no tens of thousands of troops, the moon attack, can not take this city at all.

However, Kaideokfu did not even resist, and directly surrendered Kaesong under the order of the prefect. When the Jin people retreated, the prefect who surrendered to the Jin people was afraid that the imperial court would pull the list, so he also followed the Jin people north to Yanjing.

In fact, most of the cities north of the Yellow River are like this, and when the Jin people go south, they almost always open their doors and surrender. The Jin people captured the two sects of Huiqin, and many of the demoted officials also retreated with the Jin people to the north of the Daimyo's Mansion. A small number of demoted officials brazenly rose up, claiming to have driven away the Jin people, and then continued to sit in their own prefects. These are smart officials who have seen through King Kang's cowardice. A Zhang Bangchang, who even demoted Jin and became the emperor, has to be named the head of the king of Chu, how can he take these officials? It's a big deal, Lao Tzu took the city and surrendered the Jinren, anyway, the Han army was on the border of the Daimyo's mansion, and it would sweep north of the Yellow River at any time.

They did guess correctly, after King Kang ascended the throne, not to mention to rectify the corrupt officials north of the Yellow River, he didn't even have time to sort out the south of the Yellow River, and he only cared about driving all the way to the south, He Zeng looked back at the Central Plains.

Bianliang stayed behind Zong Ze to rectify these corrupt officials, but he did not get the emperor's authorization. These are all civil officials from Jinshi, and they don't pay attention to Zong Ze's solicitation at all. The Hebei West Road Fufu who sat in the Daimyo's Mansion made Zhang Quanxin kill several corrupt officials, but unfortunately, many demoted officials held higher positions than him. Therefore, the summer of the second year of Jingkang is very weird, the world knows that the state capital north of the Yellow River is the barrier of the Emperor and the Song Dynasty, if you want to resist the Jin people who are moving south, you must operate the Kaide Mansion, Cizhou, Xiangzhou Daimyo Mansion and other places into iron buckets of gold, but there is no way to rectify those prefects who are good at changing their faces.

Therefore, the army of the Jin people has not yet moved south, and many people already know that the north of the Yellow River is no longer surnamed Zhao. When winter comes, many cities will change their surnames to Jin. At the moment, it is autumn, and these cities have surnames or anything, anyway, the prefect or the general of the unified army has the surname, and this city has the surname. For example, at this time, Kaide Mansion can be said to be surnamed Liao.

Liao Chang, the general of Feitang, is also a smart man, although he does not understand the character of King Kang, he is keenly aware of the arrival of troubled times. In the spring of this year, when Kaide Mansion opened the city to reduce gold, Liao Chang rose up and took the initiative to flatter the Jinren, specializing in plundering the women of good families, and offering the Jinren Yinle. Master Jin was having a good time, so he proposed Liao Chang to sign as a commander of the army.

The Jin people withdrew from the Central Plains, but Liao Chang did not retreat to Yanjing Mansion with the fat-brained prefect. Taking advantage of the leaderlessness of the Kaide Mansion, he decisively led more than 1,000 troops to occupy the Kaide Mansion. After watching for a while, he found that both Zong Ze and Zhang Suo had lost control of the place, and Liao Chang began his own life as a master. He had in his hands an army of 3,000 whites composed of whites and scoundrels, and the people of Kaide Mansion had failed to resist repeatedly, so they could only sigh bitterly.

When the Protector Army rose on the other side of the Yellow River, the people of Kaide Province crossed the Yellow River in small boats and fled to the south of the Yellow River. At first, Liao Chang didn't care about the people fleeing, but after fleeing a lot, he suddenly understood that these fart people had all escaped, who would pay my taxes, and who would touch my scales with their heads. Therefore, he arranged hundreds of rangers along the Yellow River, and as long as he saw the people running to the river with their families, they would be killed immediately.

The brutal killings halted the people from fleeing south. But before Liao Chang could get complacent, Yue Fei led 800 Beiwei troops to cross the river from Dongming County, and then wiped out the hundreds of white troops wandering along the Yellow River in a battle.

The white army that escaped by luck returned to the city for help, Liao Chang was furious, and immediately led thousands of white soldiers out of Kaide Mansion, preparing to destroy the Beiwei army in a battle. It's a pity that Liao Dawei's heart is higher than the sky, his life is thinner than paper, and Yue Fei fought outside Kaide City, and more than half of the three thousand white soldiers were lost, if he didn't escape quickly, it is estimated that there is also one of him among the more than 1,000 people hanging outside Kaide Mansion now.

Liao Chang fled into the city, ordered the four gates to be closed, and then forced the young people in the city to defend the city. Because he couldn't believe in these young people, Liao Chang didn't dare to sit in the mansion to enjoy it these days, but would wear armor every day and personally guard the city at the head of the city.

He now understands that if he wants to survive, he must survive. Otherwise, you will surely die. He saw the heads of the people hanging from the trees outside the city, all of whom were his brothers who had surrendered. Don't be a scumbag in the Protectors. Even if these whites surrender, they will die. In this case, the remaining more than 1,000 white soldiers are even more crazy, and in addition to defending the city every day, they are torturing the people in the city in different ways.

Yue Fei hated these white soldiers who harmed the villagers the most, so he didn't listen to Zhihun and directly killed more than a thousand white soldiers who surrendered. He didn't expect that Fei Yan would Liao Chang belong to that kind of outright scoundrel, not only was he not frightened, but he raised the courage to defend the city desperately.

Since this is the case, Yue Fei was not polite and began to forcibly order the Beiwei army to attack the city. The 800 backs he brought were all cavalry, and he was not good at attacking fortified cities at all. Both Zhihun and Ji Qian thought that it was not appropriate to attack the city, so it was better to let Wang Gui's First Infantry Division cross the Yellow River and occupy Kaide Province. Anyway, if you want to fight hard with the Jin people, the node of Kaide Mansion must be defended.

Yue Fei objected to this. Yue Fei said, "Master Zhihun , Caozhou has just been occupied by our Protector Army at this time, but occupation does not mean stability. At this time, the most important task of Wang Gui's men and horses was to turn Caozhou into Yingtian, not to cross the river. Besides, although the city wall is dangerous, in my opinion, it can be easily captured. ”

Zhihun agreed to Yue Fei's arrangement for Wang Gui. After all, there are also regimental trainings in Caozhou, there are officials, and there are also big families swaying from side to side, and they want them to return to the people's army, and they don't have more time to think about it. But Yue Fei said that he could capture Kaide Mansion in a change of hands, but Zhihun was a little skeptical. Just looking at the thousands of young men standing at the head of the city, I also know that this flying stone will not surrender.

The art of war is cloudy, and ten rules surround it. If you don't have more than ten times the strength of the defenders, don't think about besieging the city. Now there are only 800 Beiwei troops, even if they are all elites, they can't take this Kaide Mansion.

Yue Fei said with a smile, "Although the master's analysis is good. But you can't generalize. If you stick to the art of war, it is Zhao Kuo. As long as we can send dozens of warriors into the city, the people of the whole city will definitely take advantage of the situation and beat the water dogs. ”

In order to take Kaide Mansion, Yue Fei came up with a strategy to attack the west. He had already inquired about Liao Chang's character from the villagers of Kaide Mansion, and he didn't think that this person's combat quality was very high.

Therefore, Yue Fei led 700 Beiwei troops to confront Liao Chang at the south gate of Kaide Mansion, and from time to time he pulled out his big bow and shot over a few white soldiers standing at the head of the city. Liao Chang was furious and ordered the bed crossbow placed at the head of the city to return fire. But the bed crossbow is extremely inconvenient to operate. By the time the clumsy white army finally shot out the bed crossbow, the back army had already withdrawn seven or eight hundred paces.

Liao Chang looked at Yue Fei under the city angrily and shouted, "Yue Pengju, you don't know anything!" I, Liao Changhe, have provoked your Protector Army. Why do you have to kill me? ”

Yue Fei said loudly, "Liao Liangtong, as a Song person, but he took refuge in the Golden Dog, this is where you should die." If you take refuge in the golden dog only for expediency, for the sake of the fathers and elders of the city, there is still something forgivable. But you are more ruthless than the people of this city, and you will kill people with scales at every turn. That's where you have to die. Today, I, Yue Fei, came to Kaide Mansion, and I want to kill you, the pest, first. ”

Liao Chang laughed, patted the tall city wall with his hand and said, "Lao Tzu wants to see what you have to do to capture my Kaide Mansion?" and those of the seed shall come up. ”

When Yue Fei and Liao Chang confronted each other at the south gate, Zhihun and Wang Gang led a hundred horsemen to go around to the north gate of Kaide Mansion. As Yue Fei said, this Liao Chang actually arranged most of the white soldiers to the south gate, and most of the guards at the other three city gates were young and strong people who were temporarily pulled.

Qing Zhuang, who was guarding the north gate, was a little scared when he saw the cavalry of Zhihun Wang Gang. Seeing their faces, Zhihun smiled slightly, and asked Wang Gang's cavalry to stop beyond the range of the bow and crossbow, and rode his war horse alone to the outside of the moat, shouting, "Don't be afraid, the defenders of the city. We are the Protectors. ”

When the young man defending the city heard that it was the protector army under the city, he immediately talked about it. Many young men were immediately ready to surrender. But there were also a dozen white soldiers guarding the city. They forcibly ordered the young men to take up arms and defend the city.

These white soldiers are used to arrogance, but they forget the current situation. In the past, the situation was stronger than people, and the 3,000 white army united to suppress the resistance of the people in the city. Now there are more than 1,000 white soldiers who were killed outside the city by the Beiwei army, and then the remaining white soldiers are facing off against the Beiwei army at the south gate at this time, and now there are only a dozen white soldiers guarding the north gate, but there are more than 200 young and strong. Although these young men had simple weapons in their hands, they were used to being bullied, so they didn't dare to resist. But at this moment, there were hundreds of protectors under the city, but a small white leader did not know whether he was alive or dead, and he was desperately whipping the young men with a leather whip in his hand, forcing them to shoot arrows under the city. Finally, there was a young man named Wang Da Hammer who couldn't stand it. This man was long and strong, and he tore off the leather whip from the white man's hand, and whipped it again, whipping the little leader to the ground. When the other dozen or so white soldiers besieged him with weapons, Wang Dazhui shouted at the surrounding Qingzhuang, "Tuesday Dan, Liu Sandao, Zhu Siqi, what are you doing in a daze, fighting with these dogs." Accept the Protector Army into the city, and then we can cross the river and live a good life in Yingtian. ”

This Wang Da Hammer was originally a pig slaughterer, and the three people he shouted were all his buddies in the slaughterhouse, and they were also his brothers. As soon as the three of them saw Wang Da Hammer move, they did not hesitate to kill him.

I was afraid that someone would take the lead, and once someone rose up to resist, the other young men also raised their weapons to surround these white soldiers. Seeing that the situation was not good, the three or five white soldiers who saw the opportunity were not good, immediately killed the head of the city, and ran to the south gate as fast as possible to report the news.

Wang Dazhui saw that the white man ran away, his face changed, he was not the opponent of Liao Chang, and immediately shouted at the other young men, "You go and open the city gate and receive the people's army into the city." ”

The battle at the head of the city has long been seen by Zhihun Wang Gang. But they can only rub their hands under the city, and they can't do it at all. After all, the city wall of Kaide Mansion is as high as three feet, and no matter how agile a person is, he can't jump up to it.
