Volume 3 Mending the Cracks in the Sky Chapter 83 Blocking the Storm (13)

On the city of Taiyuan, there is still the banner of the Shenwu Victorious Army, and above and below the city, although the defenders and civilians seem to be weak in number, there are still military horses outside the south gate to form a strict formation, making a decisive battle. And in the north, when he arrived, fireworks suddenly rose, needless to say that the defenders were burning the hoarded grain and materials.

All of them show that when Wu Min and the officials of Hedong Road abandoned the city and fled, driving the collapse of Taiyuan Xiongcheng, the Shenwu Changsheng army that he managed was still firmly nailed here, fighting to the death!

This military horse has not lived up to its expectations after all, and the most important thing is that the most important place in Taiyuan City has not yet fallen into the hands of the Jurchen Tartars!

The tense spirit all the way was suddenly loosened at this moment, and Xiao Yan felt that the Venus in front of him was surging wildly, and as soon as his body was crooked, he was about to fall off the horse.

Supporting the auspicious three treasures of the Zhao family, the main force of the Shenwei Army under his command is a part of the Xihe Army, Bianliang recruits a new army, and Yandi enters the guard army and a piece of horses. The army was purged and commanded, and naturally it was not as good as the two old field armies of Shenwu and Longwei, and even the Tianwu Army composed of the Yongning Army as the backbone and the Yandi Guards and horses were slightly incomparable.

Xiao Yan's original plan was to cross the river from the direction of Luoyang Mansion in Xijing, and while rectifying and operating Luoyang Mansion, making it an important logistics base in addition to Bianliang, and at the same time reorganizing and training the Divine Guard Army. While slowly crossing the river, strengthen the combat power of some of the Divine Guards, and also have the intention of watching the posture of the Western Army, to see how the Western Army will act in the name of righteousness of supporting the emperor and driving to conquer Hedong, and it is to quickly respond to the call of King Qin. It's still delayed. to watch from the wall.

For front-line warfare. Xiao Yan was relieved for a while. The Jurchen East Route Army has not yet moved, and even if it does, Yandi has the direction of Danzhou to be contained, and Yujiang and Ma Kuan rely on the Hebei Zhulu to expand quickly. It is always faster to defend important places that the Jurchen army cannot bypass, such as the Daimyo's mansion, than the Jurchen Tartars. He can always buy half a year for his decisive battle in Hedong.

In the east of the river, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei relied on the dangerous terrain to defend them, and their subordinates were all elite soldiers and strong generals, and the Tartars of the Jurchen Western Route Army would never be able to get over for a while. And the soldiers outside the river who are further west of the fold family, the fold family is sitting on the ground to hold the tiger. And there are upright people like Zhe Yan Zhi in charge, although Zhi Yan Zhi is very hostile to himself, but if the Jurchen Tartars invade, Zhi Yan Zhi will definitely fight to the end. Not to mention that across the Yellow River, there is also the support of the Jingyuan Army, the main force of the Western Army!

And take a step back, even if the Zhe family didn't hold the front line of the Lan army. It always takes time for the Jurchen Tartars to go south. And Han Yue's subordinates can also slowly alternately cover and retreat, retreating to the front line of Taiyuan Mansion, while the strong wall Qingye continues to consume the strength of the Jurchen army. While doing the momentum of the back city field battle.

And at that time, the Jurchen Tartars broke through the border from the range of the Western Army. For the sake of their own territory, the Western Army could only attack the Jurchen Tartars from the west road and move south, and Zong Han's troops had to allocate some energy to deal with it. And if you lead the Divine Guard Army to recuperate and join the battle group, you can start a decisive battle with the Jurchen Tartars, and lay the foundation in the direction of Hedong Road in one fell swoop!

So Xiao Yan's initial movements were not very fast.

But no matter how careful he calculated, he didn't expect to let go of the Lan Army's passage like this, and he didn't even fight. The Jurchen soldiers are like breaking through the bamboo, and the Lan army is surging southward!

At the same time, the Jurchen East Route Army moved suddenly, and at the beginning, it rolled up a huge wave, and the smoke of Yandi was everywhere!

An emergency military report came, and Xiao Yan took the case. Shocked and angry.

The battle situation in Hedong was extremely bad all of a sudden. There was no resistance in the direction of the Lan army, and Han Shizhong had an enemy in the front, and the flanks of the retreat were threatened everywhere. And Yue Fei also has to take into account the direction of Hebei, at least he can't let the Jurchen East Route Army occupy Yizhou at once, and threaten the flank of Yue Fei's department from the direction of the Flying Fox Trail. Both armies were pinned down by the Jurchen Tartars, and they could only return to the division step by step. And how much time did it take for the Jurchen Tartars to go south all the way to the direction of Lanzhou and copy the flank of Taiyuan?

If Hedong is defeated, his two main field forces will be isolated and surrounded by the Jurchen Tatars. In Bianliang, in the Western Army, Xiao Yan doesn't have to think about what will happen.

Either he was punished in the internal and external difficulties, or he had the soldiers and horses that he could still control to protect himself, and he fought a civil war first.

No matter which result it is, it is not what Xiao Yan wants.

And most importantly, what will be the fate of the Great Song Dynasty? I came through thousands of years and struggled to get to such a position, because I wanted to take these men who were generous and sad at the turn of the two Song Dynasty in history to fight again and save the sky. Instead of making the fate of this Han civilization more tragic than in history!

All the way to Hedong, the hearts of the army and the people are flustered, which can be imagined. At this time, I am afraid that only I can stabilize the situation. Only then can we clean up the hearts of the army and the people, and only then can we have the opportunity to stop this turbulent wave!

Since the army was dull and heavy and could not follow, it was necessary to ride lightly and enter Taiyuan Mansion. What soldiers are in danger, what kind of light entry, encountering Jurchen Tartars, or even encountering accidents in the chaotic army, Xiao Yan has never thought about this concern.

Fortunately, Wang Gui Tang Huai had already rushed from Yue Fei to the Divine Guard Army, and the generals in the Divine Guard Army were all heartfelt people. For a time, it was enough to stabilize the morale of the army, and speed up the speed of crossing the river, and go straight to Taiyuan. Xiao Yan transferred Zhang Xian to the Divine Guard Army, and continued to watch the auspicious Three Treasures, Bianliang was empty for a while, and there was no leading general in charge, so he couldn't care about it.

On the one hand, he selected a few dozens of guards, everyone with three horses, day and night, and went straight to Taiyuan!

In such a critical situation, the only thing that comforted Xiao Yan a little. This Zong Ze is worthy of being the Zong Ze who has left a name in history. Although since he was in his own house, he has been silent and has not made any suggestions. But when he learned that he was going to enter Taiyuan lightly, he asked himself to follow Xiao Yan to the north together!

All the way to gallop, all the way to the wild. When he was tired, he took a nap on horseback, and when he was hungry, he ate two mouthfuls of dry food. The selected healthy horses can't stop dying, so change horses and go. The inside of his legs was worn by the saddle, scabbed and torn open, and the pain was so painful that he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Within a few days, he could race with Han Shizhong in Yinshu, and the hearts of the people in Taiyuan Mansion went from panic to collapse, and in the beacon fire rolled from Yandi to Hedong, Xiao Yan galloped for hundreds of miles. Finally rushed to the south of Taiyuan Mansion.

And this time. And he saw thousands of people crying and running in the night. The officials of Hedong Road fled south in a hurry, the Jurchen Tartar soldiers arrived in Loufu, and the Taiyuan Xiongcheng collapsed overnight!

If Taiyuan falls, the war situation in Hedong can no longer be asked, and the fate of this Great Song Dynasty cannot be asked!

This thief God, from beginning to end, just wants to make Lao Tzu soften his backbone. Do you fall on your knees?

Fuck, I wasn't afraid of you from the beginning, and not now!

Xiao Yan suddenly stepped forward, lined up on the road at Mengshan Pass, captured the fleeing officials, beheaded them on the side of the road, and hung their heads to show the public. You have to stop this violent storm with your own strength!

In the night, under the firelight. Xiao Yan personally beheaded the eleventh official, and the blood was rich. In the end, the former Great Song Dynasty ruled that abandoned the city and left. All the way to the brigade of the handsome minister Wu Min. Alone, thousands of armor soldiers bowed down and pleaded guilty, and thousands of people chanted for King Yan. Then follow his figure and return to the north of Taiyuan City!

And this hard work was not in vain after all. Taiyuan City is still in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty!

This thief, while desperately oppressing you, always leaves you with a narrow and rugged road, which can let you pass through the blood and fire under the power of history, so that you can still see a glimmer of hope.

However, this rugged road requires Lao Tzu to use blood, life, and all his spirit, and so many good men to fight desperately again to find the entrance!

Taiyuan is still there!

Zong Ze next to him wanted to fall crooked when he saw that Xiao Yan's eyes were dark, and he immediately stretched out his big hand like iron tongs and firmly supported Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan bit the tip of his tongue violently, and the sharp pain made him wake up, and he tried his best to sit up straight, facing the cheers that rolled from Taiyuan City and from behind.

Xiao Yan glanced at Zong Ze, and finally found that this old man who was as silent and hard as a reef also had a light in his eyes. He just rode his horse and followed closely behind him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thousands of armor soldiers fell to the ground on one knee solemnly, holding spears and knives, and saluted Xiao Yan's body immediately.

Under the gaze of thousands of people, Xiao Yan rode his horse slowly into Taiyuan.

At this time, there is no need for Xiao Yan to say anything or do anything. As long as his people are still in this Taiyuan city. Then the soldiers and civilians who followed him back to the north, the two armies of Shenwu Longwei who were still fighting hard in the north, would fight to the death before the turbulence of the Jurchen Tartars!

Li Zhong had already descended from the city tower, knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Yanma, and wanted to say something, but he was choked up for a while, and he couldn't spit out half a word.

Xiao Yan turned over and dismounted, and personally helped him up: "Thank you for your hard work............ But I always come. ”

Li Zhong didn't know how many words were surging in his chest and wanted to pour them out, and at this time he could only choke up and nod: "Once King Yan is here, he will take us to kill happily!" ”

Xiao Yan smiled: "Some of you fight............ Han Shizhong and Yue Fei are two, how is the military situation? Where is the building annoying, what about the military situation? ”

At this time, the important thing is to quickly rebuild the command system in Taiyuan, block the advance of the Jurchen army and horses going south, and reorganize the battle front that has already collapsed!

Li Zhong shook his head: "The handsome ministers are running away, and all the military affairs are cut off." The last general has dispatched a cavalry sentry detective to detect the military situation last night. There is no return back yet. ”

Xiao Yan nodded: "The handsome minister is going out............ But there is still a beginning and an end. ”

Li Zhong saw a sneer on the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth, and he didn't know why, but his heart trembled. Xiao Yan's gaze turned to the rows of guys kneeling down in frustration along the moat, and asked coldly, "Who are these?" ”

Li Zhong glanced at the guys, there was a lot of smoke and dust in the south just now, and these people were still in turmoil, but they were beaten to the point of bleeding. He was also hacked and killed a few before he was honest.

At this moment, thousands of armor soldiers surrounded Yan Wang Xiao Yan, and thousands of people silently surrounded him. Many of these people are already paralyzed on the ground, unable to struggle!

"King Yuyan, some of these birds took advantage of the chaos to set fire to the city last night and rob them. There are also some people who are in turmoil in the back camp, but if they just want to escape, the last general will be taught a heavy lesson with a military stick. Those who kneel here want to loot and make trouble in the camp! The last general has been captured, and has not yet been disposed of. I just want to clean up first, and then use these birds as hard labor, move bricks and stones, and strengthen the city defense. ”

Heard Li Zhong's reply. Xiao Yan's smile was still cold. Said lightly: "Use these guys to help defend the city?" There is no need for them to ruin the morale of the army and the people! Escape is forgivable. Who let the officials all the way rush to escape first? Its sin is in this way, the officials! But take advantage of the chaos to rob, but also set fire to loot, and leave them as an eyesore, what are you doing? All I need is a brave army, a loyal people, to defend this territory, and to fight the Tartars to the end! ”

Xiao Yan waved his hand heavily: "It's all cut!" ”

Li Zhong didn't dare to come out, and Xiao Yan's body was full of murderous energy. This is the king of Yan who has killed people twice in Bianliang. In Yandi, in Hedong, I don't know how many Tartars have already turned into white bones under the banner of King Yan's army!

As soon as he commanded the armor soldiers, he immediately drew his sword. The group of guys who fell to their knees reacted, struggling and crying as hard as they could. But at this time, thousands of people cheered loudly. The shouts of joy crushed their cries of despair and curses, so that they could not hear them at all!

Xiao Yan waved his hand again, but saw the guards knight who followed him. At this time, dozens of people were pulled out of the seven or eight cars of the team.

Some of these people are still in official uniforms. With the letter in his waist, he hoped to escape from this Taiyuan death place and continue to seek a send. Some people have changed into dirty people's clothes, but they are so bold that even officials are unwilling to do it. It is the officials of Hedong Road who run out at night, who either enjoy honor on weekdays, or poetry and wine, and look at it. However, at this time of crisis, they left behind their responsibilities and people, regardless of the war situation, because their actions would corrupt Cheng DΓΉ, and regardless of what kind of fate the fall of Taiyuan would cause the Great Song Dynasty.

Flee in a hurry!

The front-line fighters, because of them, are almost in a situation from which they will never recover. How many people have been displaced because of them, their wives have been separated, and their families have been ruined.

When the sky collapsed, the backbone of this nation died, and it was this generation who survived and survived and was able to become rich and noble!

But after all, they met Xiao Yan, and after all, they wanted to atone for their sins with their lives, and finally made this history a little fairer!

In the end, it was pulled out of a noble official dressed in purple and wearing a jade belt, who could it be if it wasn't Wu Min? At this time, this important minister of the Great Song Dynasty no longer had his graceful bearing, and was sandwiched by two knights, still struggling and roaring.

"Nanlaizi, do you dare to kill so-and-so? The corporal doctors of the world should not rest with you! ”

Xiao Yan smiled coldly, not even bothering to take care of him.

Along the way, he held these scholars and scholars who claimed to rule the world with the king, and tried his best to maintain the situation with them. It is hoped that these people who control the bureaucratic system of the Great Song Dynasty can give themselves a little less restraint, so that they can have a decisive battle with the Jurchen Tartars with peace of mind. Wu Min made several moves in Hedong, but he endured it, and even Wu Min secretly colluded with Cai Jing, preparing to overturn himself in Bianliang, and he also continued to let him stay in power safely with the idea that it would be better to make a mistake.

However, before the invasion of foreign races, abandoning the land and people, fleeing in a hurry, and ruining this act of determining the fortune of civilization, if you forgive it again, how can you be worthy of the thousands of soldiers under your command, and how can you be worthy of the providence that has allowed you to come through thousands of years?

No matter what kind of wind and waves, just come. It doesn't matter if it's the surging Jurchen army, or the counterattack of these so-called scholars.

Lao Tzu is just standing here! Grit your teeth and fight to the end with this internal and external enemy!

The head of Ru Wu Min should be used to deter the corporal doctors of the world. Xiao's fangs, in this decisive battle, if he doesn't show it, he doesn't know what this war will be ruined into!

Wu Min and a row of officials were all pressed to kneel by the moat, and Xiao Yan waved his hand lightly. Hundreds of long knives were raised and these hundreds of heads were chopped off at the same time!

Countless soldiers and civilians in Hedong were silent, looking at these fallen corpses and the splashing blood.

Since the founding of the country, he has beheaded all the way to the marshal ministers and beheaded the former government, since Xiao Yan.

After this decisive battle, the Great Song Dynasty will not be the original Great Song Dynasty after all.

Zong Ze silently looked at Xiao Yan's tall back and was silent for a long time.

And Xiao Yan strode towards the city, and at the same time ordered Li Zhong: "What are you still doing here?" Pick up military horses, but anyone who can run into the field will go to the aid building! I've got you covered! Give Lao Tzu the Jurchen Tartar back! As long as I'm here, reinforcements will come in a steady stream, you have to fight hard, do it to me! ”

Li Zhong's hair stood on end, and he clenched his fists to receive the order: "Dare not fight to the death for King Yan!" (To be continued......)
