Chapter 885: The momentum is like a bamboo
As the so-called army travels, covering the sky and the sun, you can clearly find a desolate scene outside the Yanmen Pass when you leave the Yanmen Pass.
The land outside the pass has fallen into the hands of the Liao people for hundreds of years, although it is said that the former Han family was born in the Liao, but relatively speaking, it was suppressed by the Liao people.
If the Great Song Dynasty is a prosperous scene of men and women weaving, then Liaodi is a vast land, a desolate scene.
Especially outside the Yanmen Pass, the two countries are at war all the year round, so few people will live here, even if the relationship between the Song and Liao countries has eased over the years, but the people who are willing to settle here are very few.
What's more, in the past few years, the Liao people have been destroyed by the Jin people, and the land of the sixteen states of Yanyun has fallen into the hands of the Jin people, and the Guanwai, which is itself a desolate place, has become more and more desolate.
This time the army went out of the customs, the first thing was to go to Shuozhou, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Shuozhou, Huanzhou, and Yunzhou are the closest to Yanmen Pass, according to Chu Yi's plan, no matter how the Jin people responded, he was going to push all the way to the past and take the sixteen states of Yanyun, if there is still room for strength, even if it is not impossible to enter the Jin People's Kingdom.
Not long after the land of Shuozhou fell into the hands of the Jin, Wanyan Xi, as the commander of the land of Yanyun, naturally made certain adjustments and arrangements for the defense of the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Although he said that he did not put the Great Song Dynasty in his eyes from his heart, who made Shuozhou, Yunzhou, and Huanzhou the closest to Yanmen Pass, if the Great Song Dynasty wanted to go out of the Northern Expedition, the first of them was the land of these three states, so Wanyan Xi did not lose his hand in these three states, and 5,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in each state.
Of course, among the 5,000 soldiers and horses, 1,000 of them were Jin elites, and the others were Liao and Han soldiers who surrendered to the Jin.
The land of Sanzhou adds up to 15,000 soldiers and horses, including 3,000 gold people, this kind of strength, unless the Great Song Dynasty sent tens of thousands of troops to attack the land of Sanzhou with the power of thunder, otherwise it can at least hold on until the army comes to help.
Now the governor of Shuozhou, Qi's Lieya, as a general of the Jin State, was sent by Wanyan Xi to sit in the land of Shuozhou, and his ability is not bad, but Qi's Lieya has a tyrannical temperament, and since he was stationed in Shuozhou, he has connived at his subordinates to run rampant in the land of Shuozhou.
It's a pity that after hundreds of years of enslavement, many Han people in the north have long lost their blood, even if the Jin people are tyrannical, few people dare to resist.
On this day, the beggar Lieya was enjoying the beauty offered by his subordinates in the mansion, but before he could enjoy himself, there were soldiers outside the door who hurriedly shouted: "General, urgent military situation, urgent military situation." ”
When the beggar fangs with angry faces came out of the room, the soldiers didn't care how ugly the beggar fangs' faces were, and hurriedly handed the general a report to the beggar fangs.
The beggar was about to attack, but his eyes swept over the military report and he was stunned, and his face showed a look of astonishment, and he subconsciously said: "The Song people are out of the customs, how is this possible?" ”
Obviously, the first reaction to the news of the Song Army's large-scale Guanbei Expedition mentioned in the military newspaper was not to believe it, but the military newspaper in his hand was clearly written, and no one dared to joke about this kind of thing.
The most important thing is that the military report was obviously delayed, according to the time in the military report, if nothing else, the Song army that had left the customs would arrive at the city of Shuozhou tonight at the latest.
The beggar Lieya looked at the sky, the sun had already set in the west, which meant that the Song army might have approached Shuozhou City at this time.
Taking a deep breath, the beggar clan almost screamed: "What are you doing in a daze, don't armor for this general." ”
Soon, the desolate sound of the horn spread throughout Shuozhou City, and in Shuozhou City, many Jin soldiers scattered everywhere heard the sound of the horn calling and showed puzzled expressions one by one.
However, these soldiers are the elite of a hundred battles after all, even if the fighting spirit of their bodies has been exhausted in Shuozhou City during this period of time, but as an elite, the reaction is still quite fast, and in about half an hour, nearly a thousand Jin soldiers and soldiers gathered in the school field.
The beggar looked at the nearly 1,000 elite soldiers under his command, and his heart was full of confidence, and he ran towards the city wall.
At the same time, Chu Yi's army came in a mighty way, and he had already seen Shuozhou City from a distance.
Shuozhou City is not too tall, but it is not comparable to ordinary cities, this is almost a militarized city, obviously so many years Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are outside, Song and Liao are at war, so that many cities in Yanyun are militarized.
The army stopped, Chu Yi walked out of the carriage, and his eyes fell on the city of Shuozhou City in the distance, beside him, Wanyan Zonghan's face was obviously not very good-looking.
Although it was said that the land of the sixteen states of Yanyun was also taken from the hands of the Liao, but at the moment the sixteen states of Yanyun were the territory of their Jin people, but he had to watch the Song army under Chu Yi about to attack the land of the sixteen states of Yanyun.
The most important thing is that Wanyan Zonghan is not optimistic about their Jin soldiers at all, because Wanyan Zonghan does not think that the soldiers defending the city can hold the city under this powerful and amazing army.
Not to mention the others, even if these Song soldiers didn't make a move, even the celestial beings under Chu Yi were already doomed to their Jin Kingdom's strength in the land of Yanyun to be unstoppable.
Chu Yi said lightly with his hands behind his back: "Sticky Han, why don't you come forward and recruit the guards of Shuozhou City, so as not to add to the killing." ”
Wanyan Zonghan just glanced at Chu Yi, and snorted coldly, it was delusional to want him to recruit the Shuozhou guards, they were never afraid of death, besides, he would admit it after Yan Zonghan fell into the hands of Chu Yi, but if he wanted him to surrender for Chu Yi, he couldn't do it.
Seeing this, Luda on the side laughed and said: "The chief manager, it's just a place in Shuozhou, why do you need to stick to the golden thief to go and surrender, wait for the Sprinkle family to go out in person, watch me make a cup of tea, and break this Shuozhou city." ”
Chu Yi looked at the crowd of people who had asked for battle, smiled slightly, and said to Lu Da: "Since Master Lu said so, then this battle will be fought by Master Lu, and I will order someone to warm the wine here, just wait for the master to return from breaking the city and celebrate for the master!" ”
Luda laughed when he heard this, carried the crescent shovel in one hand, strode out, and said with a long roar: "All the soldiers, follow me to break the city." ”
Suddenly, the vanguard thousands of soldiers and horses followed closely behind Yu Luda and went straight to Nashuozhou City.
On the city wall, the beggar Lieya, who had just come to the city wall not long ago, saw the black Song army below, and his heart was sudden.
To be honest, the Jin people really didn't have much experience in defending the city, and the first thing that the beggar Lieya thought of in the face of this situation was to go out of the city and rush to kill for a while to give the Song army a dismount.
It's just that reason tells him that if he does this, it is very likely that he will end up with no return.
A Liao general stood beside Qi Lieya, and said with a bit of flattery on his face: "General rest assured, with this fortified city, even if the Song army has many soldiers and horses, we can't hold out until the reinforcements of the Grand Governor arrive." ”
Qi Lieya glanced at the general of the Liao State, nodded slightly, and suddenly said to this person: "Yelu Qingguang, I will put the army under your command, you can be sure to hold Shuozhou City, if you can hold on until the reinforcements of the general manager arrive, this general will ask for credit for you." ”
Yelu Qingguang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with an excited look: "Although the general can rest assured, the last general will definitely do his best to stick to the city......"
At this moment, a cry like thunder came: "Don't that golden thief, listen, your grandfather Ruda is here, who dares to fight with me." ”
The shouting sound was really like thunder, with Luda as the center, dozens of city guards were directly shocked and fainted, and the beggar Lieya and Yelu Qingguang couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw Luda.
Seeing that there was no one to stop Luda in the army, he couldn't help but suppress the fear in his heart, summoned up the courage to swing his knife and pounced on Luda and said, "Bald donkey, wait for me to kill you!" ”
"Hmm"
With a cold snort, Luda's eyes froze, and if the actual killing machine locked onto the begging fangs, he saw the crescent shovel in Luda's hand slashing an arc, and with a roar, the beggar fangs were slapped out like rag dolls, slammed heavily on the city wall, and lost his breath after a few convulsions.
The beggar clan's fierce fangs are just a powerhouse at the level of a great grandmaster, and in the face of a blow from a Luda celestial powerhouse, he can't even take a single move.
Luda killed the beggar clan defending the city in one move, and suddenly the golden crowd was leaderless, and even the entire soldiers and horses defending the city were in chaos.
Especially Yelu Qingguang, who saw the beggar fangs being killed by Ruda's blow with one blow, was looked at by Ruda's murderous gaze, and his body was weak and almost fell to the ground.
With a pop, Yelu Qingguang shouted between the fall of Luda's crescent moon shovel: "Master spare your life, Yelu Qingguang please surrender!" ”
With the surrender of Yelu Qingguang, the beggar tooth was killed, and the head of Shuozhou City completely fell, but it was just a cup of tea, except for a very small number of Jin people who were still resisting, the other Liao people and Han people all abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and most of the thousands of soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty had climbed the city wall, and began to orderly clear the recalcitrant Jin people and the Liao people and Han people who received the surrender.
The city of Shuozhou is broken.
Wanyan Zonghan couldn't help but sigh softly when he saw the fluttering Jin country flag falling on the city wall. Although he had expected such a result, when he really saw this scene, Wanyan Zonghan still felt a sense of loneliness.
"Hahaha, the chief manager, Lu Da is fortunate not to be dishonored, Shuozhou City has been broken, and I am here to hand over the order!"
Chu Yi took a step forward, helped Lu Da up, reached out and took the warm water and wine from the side and handed it to Lu Dadao: "Master Lu is really a fierce general, for Master Lu, for Shuozhou City's return to the Central Plains!" ”
Luda's heart was full of enthusiasm, and he took the water and drank it all, it is conceivable that he must have a strong stroke of Luda in his youthful history, after all, the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty was the first Keshuo Prefecture of Luda.
Shuozhou City is broken, followed by Huanzhou and Yunzhou, in just half a month, the land of Sanzhou has been broken one after another, in front of Chu Yi's army, the Jin soldiers who defend the city have no power to resist at all, the reason why it takes so much time to conquer Sanzhou, most of the time is on the road and receiving the territory.
Just when Chu Yi led the army to subdue one state city after another, Wanyan Zongwang, who was ordered to go south, finally arrived at the seat of Yanyun's sixteen states, Youzhou, and Beiping City.
Youzhou Beiping City is the place where the Jin people rule the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the governor of the sixteen states of Yanyun appointed by Wu Qimai is stationed in Beiping City.
At this moment, there are many soldiers and horses in Beiping City, and not long ago, Wanyan Lou led nearly 10,000 elites who withdrew from Taiyuan City to Beiping, and joined Wanyan Xi's department.
Now, Wanyan Lou Room is even more out of the city with Wanyan Xi to welcome Wanyan Zongwang who came south.
The soldiers and horses led by Wanyan Zongwang can be described as elite, especially the 20,000 elite cavalry, and the galloping of 10,000 horses is really amazing.
Seeing such a situation, Wanyan Lou Room and Wanyan Xi couldn't help but lose the hanging heart, it was really in the past few days, the military reports received by the two of them made them uncontrollable, and their hearts were uneasy.
The military newspapers were full of news about the loss of the state city, and now the sixteen states of Yanyun have fallen to the land of the eight states, and it can be said that almost half of them have fallen into the hands of the Song people.
The rumors about Chu Yi are divine, just like Chu Yi is an omnipotent, invincible and invincible god of war, the two of them did not dare to lead the army to stop Chu Yi's department.
Now that they are finally looking forward to reinforcements, and the people who come to help are still respected veterans like Wanyan Zongwang, coupled with the elite army, at least they see the hope of stopping Chu Yi.
As the commander of the unified army appointed by Wu Qimai, according to Wu Qimai's will, on the day Wanyan Zongwang arrived in Yanyun, in the land of Yanyun, all the officials and generals of the Jin State obeyed the dispatch of Wanyan Zongwang, and Wanyan Zongwang had the right to cut first and then play.
is that Wanyan Xi does not lose his life, and Wanyan Lou is a strong person in the clan, and he does not dare to be rude when facing Wanyan Zongwang.
"Meet the Commander!"
The two personally welcomed Wanyan Zongwang into Beiping City.
In the solemn mansion, Wanyan Zongwang looked at Wanyan Xi, Wanyan Lou Room and other generals, dozens of generals of all sizes gathered together, it can be said that among the hundreds of thousands of troops this time, ninety percent of the generals who are qualified to appear here have appeared here at this time.
Wanyan Zongwang's gaze swept over the generals below, and finally looked at Wanyan Lou's room and said: "Wanyan Lou's room, you have intersected with Chu Yi's department, let you talk about it, what is the strength of Chu Yi's department?" ”
Although Yan Lou Room did not fight with Chu Yi after speaking, but was shocked by Chu Yi's strength and fled thousands of miles, but looking at the people present, only Wan Yan Lou Room had experienced Chu Yi's army at close range, so after speaking, Yan Zongwang could only choose to ask Wan Yan Lou Room.
Wanyan Lou Room took a deep breath and saluted towards Wanyan Zongwang: "Great Shuai, Chu Yi's soldiers and horses are actually not elite, but the opponent's army is as strong as a cloud, if it weren't for this, Zong Han and Yinshu would not be in the hands of the enemy if they joined forces, and they didn't even have the ability to escape." Therefore, subordinates should remind the commander that if he is not sure enough, he must not fight hard with the other party. ”
The generals present could be said to be the backbone and even the top of the Jin army, and they all knew that Yan Zonghan and the others were captured by Chu Yi's troops.
Now that it has been mentioned again by Wanyan Lou's room, many people still have a look of disgruntleness on their faces.
One of the generals snorted coldly and said: "It must be that those Song people used some shady means to plot against the Sticky Han Commander, otherwise, how could those weak Song people alone keep a strong man like the Sticky Han Commander." ”
Wanyan Zongwang frowned, although he had been mentally prepared when he said it, but after listening to Yan Lou's words, Wanyan Zongwang couldn't help but feel a little worried.
It was also thanks to Wu Begging that he brought two celestials from the army, otherwise, he really didn't know what to do.
If you do the math, add Wanyan Lou Room, Wanyan Xi Bu Lose, and Wan Yan Xi Bu lose one celestial under his hand, and if they are full of calculations, there will be six celestials.
If it was in the past, if there were six celestials, Wanyan Zongwang would dare to lead the army on a rampage, and when he encountered an army or city that could not be attacked, he would directly take action from the heavens.
But now Wanyan Zongwang is at a loss in his heart, after all, being able to leave the four celestials of Wanyan Zonghan means that the strength of Chu Yi's department is stronger, and it seems that the six celestials can't see any hope of victory if they are against each other.
It's just that if you want to say that Chu Yi has seven or eight celestial beings or more, Wanyan Zongwang is skeptical, in fact, in Wanyan Zongwang's heart, he doesn't suspect that the reason why Wanyan Zonghan and the others were captured was actually calculated by Chu Yi.
