Chapter 438: Hanging Outside Haozhou City
There was a dead silence in the city of Haozhou, because the old general Li Xianzhong was martyred!
It was a heavy and unacceptable reality, everyone in the chamber was silent, and the oppressive atmosphere made it difficult to breathe.
Since the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, the famous Zhongxing generals have died one by one, and now only Li Xianzhong is left, but he was killed by a secret arrow on the battlefield in Haozhou.
Although as a general, it is the best fate to die on the battlefield, but this is a fatal blow to the morale of the entire Song army.
And at this moment, the 1,000 Song soldiers who had evacuated Fengyang City had also returned to Haozhou City.
When the generals who returned from the evacuation told everyone the news of the destruction of the city, this made the people who were originally demoralized even more like falling into an ice cave.
After Yu Hangkun heard the news that his father was trapped in Fengyang City, he immediately didn't have time to think about it, so he wanted to lead the army to the rescue, but was stopped by the generals.
"General Yu, don't act recklessly, now that the Jin soldiers are outside the city, it's better to act cautiously!"
"Yes, now that General Li is martyred for the country, Yu Shuai's life and death are uncertain, and you are the backbone of the dragons without a leader, so you must not mess up because of this......"
In the face of everyone's persuasion, Yu Hangkun ignored it, and even roared a little: "Do you want Yu to watch his father in deep trouble?" As a son of man, how can Yu ignore it? ”
"General Yu is angry for a while, let's listen to what arrangements Yu Shuai has, so it's not too late for me to act again......" At this moment, Zhu Changyu, the defender of Haozhou, said a constructive suggestion.
"Speak quickly!"
"General Yu must not act rashly, when Shuai Yu ordered us to evacuate, he asked the last general to pass the word to the general......"
"What did my father say, did you ask me to go to the rescue!?" Yu Hangkun, who has always been calm, has completely lost his original calmness at this moment, and he can't wait to lead the army to Fengyang City at this moment!
The general, who was tightly clamped by Yu Hangkun, let his body keep swaying, but said two words in his mouth ashamedly: "Don't save!" ”
"What, don't save it!?"
Hearing this, Yu Hangkun's body shook violently, he took a few steps back, looked at the general in front of him with puzzled eyes, and pointed at the other party with trembling eyes: "Impossible, this is impossible, you must be lying to me!" ”
"There is an order from Marshal Yu here, please check it by the general!"
"This ......"
Accompanied by the military order, there was also a letter, and after Yu Hangkun opened the letter and read the letter, he was silent with a complicated expression, and stood in the council hall like a stake.
"Report!" At this time, the guards of the city gate hurried into the council hall.
"What's the matter?"
"The golden soldiers have arrived under the city, and they are ......"
"And what?"
"And on the benchmark outside the city, there is the head of the marshal, and the general is asked to show ......"
"What!"
“……”
After hearing this, Yu Hangkun, who was speechless, hurried out of the conference hall without stopping at all, and went straight to the upper floor of Haozhou City.
The rest of the generals looked at each other, and they followed in a panic.
When Yu Hangkun climbed the city tower, he saw a pole inserted in the wide open space, and a human head was hung on the pole, although it was far away, there was a banner hanging on the benchmark, which read: The head of Yu Yunwen, the commander of the Song army, is here!
Burst!
Yu Hangkun, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't hold back at this moment after all, and a mouthful of blood gushed up his throat and spit on the mottled city wall.
Yu Hangkun held the buttress with his hand, looked at the head swaying in the wind in the distance with his pupils about to split, and hissed: "Father!" ”
According to the withdrawn report of the Song Army, as well as the current situation, there is no need to question it, and the bloody head swaying in the wind is Yu Yunwen's.
Thundered!
The clouds were thick, the sky was thundering, and the relentless lightning tore through the endless sky.
Followed by the pouring rain, watering this slightly arid land of Haozhou!
"Follow me out of the city and get the head of the handsome man back!"
Yu Hangkun can't control much at the moment, even if this is a trap in front of him, he has to go.
Seeing that his father was killed but he couldn't slash the enemy, how could he bear to let his head be destroyed by the storm now!
This time, Zhu Changyu, the defender of Haozhou, did not stop him, but ordered all the soldiers: "Follow me to cover General Yu, especially to prevent the Jin army from taking advantage of this surprise attack to seize the city gate!" ”
"Yes!"
After the arrangements were made, Yu Hangkun crossed the horse and rushed directly out of the city gate, came to the empty outside of the city, pulled up the pole and turned around and turned back to Haozhou City.
Zhu Changyu led the army to cover the periphery, and when Yu Hangkun crossed his horse and turned back into the city, he led the army to retreat into Haozhou City.
It is strange that this time the Jin army did not take the opportunity to attack Haozhou City!
In the camp of the Chinese army of the Jin army, Feng Lingke stood at the door of the battalion commander and looked at Haozhou City in the distance, although he was shrouded in heavy rain and couldn't see clearly, he was still staring at it suddenly.
Gao Jingshan, the commander on the side, was very puzzled by Fenglingke's stop from advancing the army, so he asked: "Military division, this is a great opportunity for our army to capture Haozhou, why did the military division delay the order?" ”
"Are you questioning this military division?" Fenglingke held a feather fan in his hand, fanning it lightly by himself, and his eyes were slightly squinted with a flash of essence.
"The last general doesn't dare, his subordinates just feel ......"
"Humph! It is not a problem to break through the city of Haozhou, but after Haozhou is Luzhou, and now Luzhou has gathered more than 100,000 Song troops, how easy is it to wipe them out? ”
"The military advisor means ......"
"The news of Yu Yunwen's death needs a certain amount of time to spread and spread, so as to achieve the effect of affecting the morale of the Song army. When the Song army's heart collapsed, our army could directly take Haozhou and Luzhou if they moved south! ”
"The military advisor is wise, but the last general is stupid!" Gao Jingshan listened to Fenglingke's explanation, and suddenly realized.
The news of Yu Yunwen's death can be said to be an invisible plague, as long as enough time is given to brew, it can spread endlessly, making the whole army feel self-defeating.
If you are in a hurry to attack Haozhou now, although you can take Haozhou City in one fell swoop, but Luzhou is an extremely difficult bone to gnaw, then it will cause unnecessary casualties to the soldiers and horses of the headquarters!
"Besides, the death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to be played in time for Yanjing Yuming. Explain the process of the Song army's killing of the crown prince, and you will go to Yanjing for this matter! ”
When Fenglingke said this, he smiled deeply at Gao Jingshan: "You have done a good job in this matter, and it is completely beyond my expectations, Li Xianzhong actually died in your hands......
"Thank you for the praise of the military advisor, it is the honor of the last general to serve His Royal Highness King Deng!"
"Well, don't worry, Feng will definitely ask for credit for you in front of His Royal Highness King Deng, and this time you are indispensable!"
"Thank you for cultivating the military advisor!"
"By the way, are your men reliable?"
Gao Jingshan said solemnly: "Rest assured, the state of affairs is confidential this time, and the last general has only asked a few of his brothers to assist, and the others don't know about it!" ”
"Well, that's good, tomorrow you will leave for Beijing, go down!"
"The last will retire!"
