Chapter 443 Crossing the Yellow River
After shocking and cleaning up the Daimyo's Mansion, Zonghan appointed a merchant who was determined to serve as the prefect, and then continued to march south with his army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
For a day and a night, drinking the Yellow River, opposite is Lanzhou.
The ferry was in a mess, with cages, clothes, horses, and throws everywhere, and it seemed that Liang Zhongshu and the Red Wolf Army could be seen crossing the river in a panic.
Zong Han ordered a vigorous search for the ferry, so the cavalry searched for the boatmen along the river, and in half a day, they were able to find six small boats, barely able to carry a hundred people across the river.
Zong Han didn't say a word, and immediately boarded the ferry with a hundred people and rowed to the opposite shore.
When He Yifu, the assassin of Lanzhou, heard the news that the Daimyo's Mansion had been captured by the Jin army and had been killed on the other side of the Yellow River, he was also panicked. Immediately the gates of the city were closed, and all the soldiers were sent to the head of the city to guard it.
His staff said, "The Jin army is not good at water warfare, maybe this Yellow River is a moat, and our side is as stable as Mount Tai." Lord He can lead his troops to the ferry, one to meet Lord Liang, and the other to inspect the shore defense to prevent the infiltration of a small group of Jin troops."
This is a good word, if He Yifu can take these measures immediately, maybe he can save some of the situation.
He Yifu waved his hand again and again, "Hugh has to say more, the Jurchen is very brave, this official goes, in case the enemy army attacks, wouldn't he send sheep into the tiger's mouth?" No, no! The city of Lanzhou is the top priority, how can the army move easily? So far, no one has dared to speak.
Liang Zhongshu and his people and horses were easy to cross the river, so he desperately ran to the city of Lanzhou. Unexpectedly, he ate a closed-door soup under the city of Lanzhou, which made Liang Zhongshu's boss unhappy.
I fought to the death, ran across the Yellow River, why don't you say that you can lend a hand, and now you don't even give you a hot meal in the city?
He Yifu sent a staff member to say euphemistically, "The Jin army is out of nowhere, just because I am worried that if I put in the spies, this Lanzhou will also be destroyed." The adults have been working hard for days, and now they offer 1,000 catties of grain and 200 catties of beef and mutton to comfort you. ”
Liang Zhongshu felt bitter in his heart, this is to send Huazi, let us have a full meal and get out of here. You remember it for me, the labor and management returned to Bianliang, found the official family and cried, and if you were not punished for a capital crime, you will also be stripped of your skin.
Changsun Zhi and Luo Gaohai were a little indignant, saying that this He Yifu was not a thing, and it was too deceitful. No matter how they called and scolded, the gate of Lanzhou City was always closed, and they had a group of more than 1,000 people, and finally they could only continue to flee towards Bianliang overnight.
With Liang Zhongshu's escape all the way, rumors of the Jurchen army crossing the river in the south gradually spread, and along the Yellow River, people were shaken in panic. Thieves and bandits also took advantage of the opportunity to commit crimes in all directions, and social order and morals deteriorated.
After Liang Zhongshu left, Zong Han took the lead and leaned on the wharf in Lanzhou, but the wharf was already empty, and even the boatman was scared away. Therefore, Zong Han seized more than a dozen ships that no one cared about, two of which were actually large official ships.
A strategist suggested that so many boats could be built into a pontoon bridge, and Zong Han was as good as a stream, and twenty boats were crossed on the river, and then connected by wooden planks, it was a solid pontoon bridge. Infantry and cavalry pass without hindrance, even if it is a large cart, as long as it is pulled safely, it can pass.
At this time, the speed of transporting troops was greatly accelerated, and it was expected that after three hours, all the 30,000 troops would be able to cross the river and march under the city of Lanzhou. Lanzhou is a small city by the Yellow River, and it is famous all over the world because of the alliance under the city of Song Liaozhou.
In that year, because Xiao Dalin, the commander of the Liao army, bravely arrived within 200 steps of the city of Lanzhou to reconnoitre, he was ordered by Zhang Huan, the general of the defending army, to shoot a single shot from the bed crossbow, intending to intimidate the enemy generals. Unexpectedly, by chance, this arrow hit Xiao Dalin in the head, causing the commander of the Liao army to die on the spot.
Coupled with the arrival of the true clan relatives in the city of Lanzhou, the Song army was strong, the army was strong, and the Empress Dowager Xiao saw that she could not do anything, so she sent someone to ask for peace. When Zhenzong saw the Liao State seeking peace, he was naturally happy to push the boat along the river, regardless of the opposition of the ministers, and insisted on signing the famous alliance of the Yuanyuan.
However, today, when Zong Han stepped on the Lanzhou ferry, he knew that the things of the past would not be repeated. The ferry is such an important military place, and the defenders have actually fled, are there any soldiers in the Southern Dynasty?
After a thousand horses crossed the Yellow River, Zong Han went straight to Lanzhou, a military fortress with steep terrain and a variety of city defenses and fortifications. Anyone who came to attack would feel a headache, but Zong Han didn't bother it.
If an army has no guts, what is the use of a strong city defense? At most, it's their coffin. In half a day, Zong Han captured more than 1,000 people of the Song Dynasty, and under the escort of 2,000 Jin troops, he began to attack the city.
As expected, the bows and arrows at the head of the city were weak and weak, and there were no bed crossbows, frame crossbows, and no accurate heads at all, which showed how far they were usually deserted.
When the ladder reached the top of the city and hundreds of Jin troops began to ascend the city, the Song army collapsed. And at this moment, the first drum of the Jin Army has not stopped, and it is really a drum that can be broken!
Although He Yifu was cautious and rejected Liang Zhongshu, he was very angry that the Jin army broke the city, and when he was brought to Zong Han, he also pointed at Zong Han Zhenzhen.
"The two countries of Song and Jin are allies, and now your country is brazenly raising troops, which can be described as unjustifiable, and there is more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust, and Your Excellency will die without a place to be buried."
Click! He Yifu's head flew out more than two feet away, and then his body fell to the ground like a sack, and blood splattered all over the ground at his neck.
"Kill all those who dare to resist!" Zong Han coldly put the knife into the scabbard.
The Jin army killed people on the streets, cut them down when they saw them, and many unsuspecting residents died in vain. Zong Han's tyrannical mood was not calmed by the killing, and after giving the order, he prepared to continue south.
The south of Lanzhou should be Bianliang, the capital of the Song Kingdom, no matter who says that it is a paradise on earth, the capital of Wenhua and romance. The lights in the night light are like stars in the heavenly river, the literati chant poems and paint, and the beauties dance and sing, which is beautiful.
It is said that the 800,000 forbidden troops around Bianliang are invincible in the world, and they want to see if they live up to their name.
Lanzhou is far from Bianliang, and the fast horse is only a day and a night's work, and now Liang Zhongshu has fled all the way to Bianliang.
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Liang Zhongshu placed the Red Wolf Army thirty miles outside the city, and he quickly entered the city with his family to find Pingzhangshi Cai Jing.
Cai Jing was shocked, Liang Zhongshu fled without a fight, and the tens of thousands of Jurchen troops followed, if he was framed to lure the wolf into the house, he would have no place to die.
What's more, he also accompanied the Red Wolf Army, and now the troops are stationed thirty miles away, and he is afraid that a crime of using troops without permission is indispensable. What's more, leading troops into Beijing is a rebellion! It's going to connect the nine tribes.
Cai Jing looked at this son-in-law and sighed, "Life!" ”
At this time, Liang Zhongshu became frightened, and immediately knelt down in front of Cai Jing, begging for a way to live.
Cai Jingjiang is old and spicy, settled down, ordered to prepare a sedan chair, and immediately went to Nanhuan Street. Today, Zhao Ji stayed in Li's Mansion overnight, and only by going there could he save Liang Zhongshu's life. (To be continued.) )
