Chapter 387: Siege on Three Sides

Lu Fangfei "half-pushed" and let Zhao Tianci "test" his latest "achievements", of course, all the resentment disappeared, and when he looked at Zhao Tianci again, his eyebrows and eyes were full of strong affection, which made the little emperor cry out that he couldn't stand it.

Zhao Tianci made such a big move behind his back, if Wanyan Zonghan didn't know anything about it, then he, the generalissimo of the Southern Expedition, would not have to be it.

As for how the Song army suddenly appeared behind him, he couldn't think about it, Dengzhou, Tangzhou, Caizhou and Yingzhou were lost, which was all expected by him, but Luzhou City not only had all the combat military supplies of grain and grass, but also his eldest son set up horses, Luzhou was lost, and not a single soldier escaped, Zong Han was really anxious.

While stepping up the dispatch of men and horses back to Chiluzhou, he ordered all his subordinates to withdraw, guarding Xiangyang, Shuzhou and Qizhou, and Yangzhou and Junzhou also fell into the hands of the Song army, which made him break out in a cold sweat, according to this, the Song army is going to eat all his 600,000 troops!

However, in addition to being nervous, he also had suspicions, there was only one general of the Song Army who had such courage, Li Gang, but hadn't he been demoted to Qiongzhou? Is it coming back again?

After many inquiries, Zong Han finally learned from a newspaper called "Xinmin Daily" that Li Gang was indeed activated, but his identity was not a general, but the prince's division, and the current Zaifu, the person who led the troops to the expedition turned out to be the little emperor Zhao Tianci.

After learning about these circumstances, Wanyan Zonghan threw the newspaper in his hand and laughed, "Childish! Since you have such a big appetite, let the old man teach you how to fight the real battle, and take you to the north to meet your ancestors! ”

Immediately, Yan Zonghan issued a military order, informing the whole army that it was Zhao Tianci, the new emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, who was fighting against him, and this son must be captured alive, and those who caught it would be rewarded.

As a result, the men and horses on both sides were surprisingly quiet, one side wanted to eat all the other side, and the other side wanted to capture their commander back to the northern frontier, and the people on both sides began to shout.

And the real war began with Yue Fei's Yuejia army crossing the Yangtze River from Chizhou and Ezhou.

Zong Han stationed 100,000 horses in Xiangyang, Shuzhou and Qizhou, and the rest of the men and horses camped directly outside, in fact, according to his original intention, he didn't even have to defend those state capitals, and directly used his ironclad cavalry to break through the encirclement carefully arranged by the Song army, capture the little emperor and leave.

But years of experience in the war told him that the enemy will be defeated, although he knew that the other party was a little doll, he still didn't dare to take it too lightly, just from the perspective of such a big game laid by the other party, this little emperor may still have some ideas and courage.

After Yue Fei crossed the Yangtze River, he did not stop for a while, but avoided Jin Bing and went straight to Xiangyang Mansion.

When Wanyan Zonghan learned the news, his 100,000 troops had already arrived at Xiangyang City, and the general of the Xiangyang defenders was Li Cheng, the general under Liu Yu, and the arrival of Yue Fei's army made Xiangyang immediately become an enemy on three sides, the north was the 20,000 eight-color battalions of Hongya and Shen Mingzhu, the west was the 40,000 horses of the Wu brothers, and there was no Song army in the east, which made Li Cheng also cry out and hurriedly sent someone to Wanyan Zonghan for help.

The reason why Li Cheng was allowed to guard Xiangyang was that Wanyan Zonghan was deliberate. First of all, Jin Bing is not good at defending the city, and Li Cheng is Liu Yu's subordinate, he is a Han person, and it is more secure to hand over Xiangyang City to him than to his own people, another important reason is that Yue Fei's army went straight to Xiangyang, which made him more relieved, because Li Chengcheng was driven out of Jiangnan by Yue Fei, this time the enemy met, he believed that Li Cheng would be more "attentive", so even if he received Li Cheng's report for help, in addition to pulling 10,000 stones of grain and grass for him, he did not send a soldier to the past.

However, this 10,000 stone grain and grass did not become Li Cheng's thing, but was robbed by the Song soldiers in the north and became people's military supplies, which made Li Cheng thunderous, but he could only resist it. After voting for Liu Yu, he will have no way out. But if the grain and grass are gone, they will be gone, Wanyan Zonghan's meaning is very clear, that is, let him hold Xiangyang City, contain Yue Fei's men and horses, and don't worry about other things.

However, the robbery of grain and grass made Li Cheng realize that although there was no Song army in the east, it was probably not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface, and I was afraid that people had other means to control it.

When Yue Fei arrived at the city of Xiangyang, he immediately contacted Wu Jie, Wu Lan's brothers, as well as Hong Aya and others in the north, and then did not set up camp, so he ordered his subordinates to attack the city directly.

When Li Cheng, who was standing at the head of the city, saw hundreds of tall mobile tower carts in the Song army, he gasped, in the face of this kind of siege equipment, not to mention anything else, at least the city gate, he couldn't defend it.

So, Li Chengyi gritted his teeth and simply came to a dangerous move, he divided the 100,000 soldiers and horses into three routes, and killed them from the north, west and south respectively, and he wanted to have a duel with the Song army besieging the city.

In fact, he was also forced to be helpless, because he found that the most pressure was Yue Fei in the south, not only a large number of people, but also a lot of siege equipment, and the siege army in the west was relatively small, and there were only more than ten siege equipment, and the number of people in the north was even less, and there was no siege equipment, so he divided 20,000 horses out of the west city and 10,000 people out of the north city, and dispersed the Song army besieging the city, and the rest of the men and horses were led by him personally, all from the south city, and went straight to Yue Fei's siege army.

Li Cheng's calculation may have been good, but he made a fatal mistake, he only left less than 2,000 people in Xiangyang City to garrison, while the people of Xiangyang together exceeded 100,000!

As soon as his army left the city, the people of Xiangyang City rioted!

2,000 men against 100,000 people with pickaxes, although this battle will not end soon, but the result will not change much.

Li Cheng couldn't care so much, although soon after leaving the city, he heard the howling sound from the city, but he couldn't turn back, the person in front of him was the great enemy who broke his ten-year foundation, he had to take revenge, not for anyone, only for himself!

He had chips in his hand, Yue Fei's men were basically all infantry, and his men were almost all cavalry.

"Yue Fei, do you dare to fight me alone?" Li Cheng reined in front of the formation and shouted loudly.

Yue Fei smiled slightly, and a young general rushed out of his side, it was Yue Yun, "Dad, I'll go!" ”

Yue Fei shook his head, "Li Cheng is extremely powerful, and the iron axe in his hand is full of manpower, Yun'er, you are not his opponent." ”

Yue Yun muttered a few words unconvinced, but still obediently retreated. "Li Cheng, you have no other way to choose than surrender."

Li Cheng laughed out loud, "I have long heard that you Yue Peng can shoot a thirteen-stone bow with one hand, and I, Li Cheng, can also do it." How about we, how about we compare? ”

Yue Fei didn't speak, looked up at the sky, and fell into deep thought.

In his mind, however, it was a different picture.

"Second brother, you drag him first, Hong Aya and Mingzhu will soon end the battle in the north, and when their men and horses enter Xiangyang City, the enemy army out of the city will inevitably be in turmoil, and when the time comes, you and the two Wu generals will be in full swing and wipe them out, don't let us have people, just war horses and military equipment." Zhao Tianci was riding on a war horse and was looking at him.

"Good!" Yue Fei said, "Red Aya, Mingzhu, do you need support there?" ”

Hong Aya and Shen Mingzhu were confronting the enemy opposite, and said with a smile when they heard this, "Second brother, don't worry, with such a few people, our sisters can eat!" ”

"Yue Fei! Are you scared? Li Cheng shouted a few times, but Yue Fei didn't react, he took off his bow in his hand, took down a sharp arrow and shouted, "You don't say anything again, I'm going to shoot an arrow!" ”

Yue Fei retracted his gaze, and the fierce color in his eyes flashed, "Whatever you want!" ”

Since entering the Eight Formations, his eye disease has been miraculously cured, and it has become clearer and more refreshed.

"Okay, you caught it!" Li Cheng pulled the strong bow in his hand into a full moon, and then with a piercing buzz, the sharp arrow turned into a meteor and went straight to Yue Fei's faΓ§ade.

Yue Fei shouted, "Good come!" Then he also took his bow in his hand, and waved it in front of him, only to hear a crisp snap, and the sharp arrow broke off at the tip of the arrow and fell to the ground.

The sergeants behind him burst into earth-shattering cheers.

Li Cheng nodded, "Good Yue Pengju, it really deserves its reputation, take me another arrow!" So saying, he took out another arrow and put it on his bow.

Yue Fei knocked his legs on the saddle ring, the war horse neighed, and rushed out, he said loudly, "It's my turn!" Saying that, he took the arrow and took the bow, bent the bow and shot it, the whole action was done in one go, Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, and the powerful arrow came to his eyes with the sound of the wind.

Li Cheng hurriedly leaned back, and the powerful arrow flew in front of him with the sound of the wind, and there was a miserable scream behind him, and an unlucky soldier took the arrow for him.

Li Cheng was furious, took off the iron axe and slapped the horse out, fighting with Yue Fei in one place.

This Li Cheng was able to do it, the iron axe in his hand weighed one or two hundred catties, and he played it easily, and the axe drew a black arc with the sound of the wind, flying up and down Yue Feizhou's body.

Yue Fei didn't touch him hard, and the iron spear in his hand conjured up a little bit of silver, which also surrounded Li Cheng impenetrably.

The two of them instigated the war horses to circle around non-stop, only to see the weapons of both sides flying in the wind, but they did not hear the sound of collision, which was really amazing.

In fact, both of them have calculations in their hearts, the arm strength of both sides is comparable, if the weapons collide, it will inevitably be a lose-lose situation, so both of them deliberately avoid the intersection of gold and iron, and carefully control the rhythm of attack and dodge in case of mistakes.

Yue Yun snatched the drumstick in the hands of the Chinese officer and personally cheered for his father, but Li Cheng did not have such momentum, because the people under his command really belonged to "his own people", and the total number was less than three hundred, and the rest were Liu Yu's subordinates, and they did not care about the outcome of this battle.

How could Li Cheng turn a blind eye to this, he could hear the sound of war drums in his ears, but they were all cheering for others, and he was suddenly a little impetuous, gritting his teeth, and when he started, he added three points of strength, and the two of them fought against each other The momentum became dangerous, but it was also more exciting.
