In the rear army of the army of the country, Yeluhongcheng looked at the soldiers of the front army who were constantly attacking the city, with a satisfied smile on his face, and with a wave of his hand, the 50,000 soldiers of the hit army slowly advanced, reinforced the front army, and increased the offensive!

At the head of Taiyuan City, Qin Yannan looked at the soldiers of the Cuisine Army who were constantly attacking the city and constantly being killed by the Song Army, and looked at the endless army of the Cuisine Kingdom outside the city, and drew his sword with a solemn face and shouted angrily: "Resist, I have resisted!" Don't let the army break through the city! ”

Qin Yannan's angry shouts were trembling slightly, and the panic and worry in his eyes became heavier and heavier, and he would no longer be the one when the war had just begun

Confident.

Originally, he confidently believed that even if there were no heavenly soldiers, with the 70,000 soldiers and horses in his hands and his talent, there would still be no problem in holding Taiyuan.

But until the end of the war, he finally realized that he seemed to be wrong, and finally found out that the food army is not so easy to deal with!

In the past, the reason why they were able to hold Taiyuan in several onslaughts of the food army was because the ammunition for the firearms was still sufficient, second, because there were brave and invincible heavenly soldiers, and third, because there was a Ye Crazy Knife faintly guarding the entire northern front, and the Lone Knife Town was a hero!

But today, that's gone......

After successfully breaking out of the encirclement from outside Lincang City, the Heavenly Soldier Legion, under the leadership of Chai Shirong and He Jingyun, galloped back in the direction of Taiyuan.

After a rapid march of about a day and a night, 20,000 soldiers and soldiers finally returned to a mountain forest twenty miles away from Taiyuan City.

Walking here, Chai Shirong ordered the whole army to stop, because he received an extremely shocking news!

Taiyuan City has been broken by the food army!

Chai Shirong looked at the report he got in his hand, his pale face quickly became heavy, and he was silent for a long, long time.

He Jingyun next to him was full of anger, the long-handled broadsword in his hand shook suddenly, and said angrily: "This damn Qin Yannan, you have to lead the troops to attack Lincang, he himself has no ability to defend the city, it is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and I am angry!" ”

After Chai Shirong was silent for a long time, he sighed and said: "Yelu Changge, Yelu Changge, it turns out that you threw the bait of Lincang, not only to deal with the heavenly soldiers, but also to be able to break through Taiyuan." Unexpectedly, because of Qin Yannan's hatred of my heavenly soldiers, he actually made your serial plan successful! ”

He Jingyun said angrily: "This waste Qin Yannan, I don't know if he died in Taiyuan, otherwise if I catch him, I will have to kill him." Commander, what should we do now, do you want to go back to Taiyuan? ”

Chai Shirong looked up in the direction of Taiyuan in the distance, slowly shook his head and sighed: "The army of the country has now occupied the city, how can we still kill it with our men and horses and no siege equipment." Let's go, we have to get out of here and retreat westward, or if the army of the country finds us, even us will be very dangerous! ”

Outside Taiyuan City, Chai Shirong and He Jingyun led the Heavenly Soldiers Legion and withdrew westward.

Soon after the retreat of the Heavenly Soldiers, Yelu Changge, the commander of the army, led his army into Taiyuan.

In the temporary marshal's mansion in Taiyuan City

Yelu Hongcheng looked at Yelu Changge with a smile on his face, and said, "Dashuai, Taiyuan City has been completely controlled by our army. Most of the 70,000 Song troops defending the city were killed by us, and the rest were basically scattered and fled, and their commander Qin Yannan, who only led a few hundred cavalry, fled south in a hurry.

In addition, the other two fortified cities on the left and right flanks of Taiyuan, who were outnumbered for thousands of days, had all retreated to the south. The city has fallen into our hands. ”

After hearing this, Yelu Changge laughed heartily and nodded, "Good, very good!" In this way, the middle line battlefield in the northern part of the Song Kingdom was completely defeated by us.

Now our army is strong and strong, and the soldiers are flourishing, as long as Taiyuan is taken, we can drive all the way to the south, and approach Tokyo, the capital of the Song Kingdom

By the time Chai Shirong and He Jingyun led the Heavenly Soldier Legion back to the outside of Taiyuan, Taiyuan had already been broken by the food army.

Most of the 70,000 defenders in the city were killed by the army, and the rest scattered and fled south. Qin Yannan, the commander of the Song army, only a few hundred horsemen were left to follow, and he rushed to the south.

The two fortified cities on the left and right flanks of Taiyuan, due to He Jingyun's transfer of troops, only 5,000 heavenly soldiers were left in the city. Outnumbered, the heavenly soldiers in the two cities also had to abandon the city and retreat south.

At this point, the middle line battlefield in the northern theater of the Song Kingdom collapsed. Song Kingdom, the middle door is wide open.

Yelu Changge, the commander of the food army, and Yelu Hongcheng, the deputy commander of the food army, led more than 200,000 food troops and settled in Taiyuan and the surrounding cities.

At the same time, Chai Shirong and He Jingyun led 20,000 heavenly soldiers to retreat all the way to the west, until they retreated to a city on the battlefield on the Western Front before they stopped and entered the city for a while.

After the army entered Taiyuan, Yeluhong City flew to the top of the tallest building in the city, his eyes swept over the city he had dreamed of taking, and he looked up to the sky and laughed, his heart full of joy and pride. He finally avenged the revenge of the loss of the army and the generals, and the shame of the defeat of the year was finally washed away!

Subsequently, after obtaining the nod of Yelu Changge, Yelu Hongcheng issued an order in Taiyuan that the soldiers of the army could wantonly loot and slaughter in the city!

In the past few months, Taiyuan has been unbreakable for a long time, and the northern theater of the Song State has been impregnable, which has made the food army suffer a lot, and his heart is full of anger. Now that Taiyuan has finally been taken, Yelu Hongcheng has decided to let the food army release the anger and resentment in his heart, and by the way, it is also regarded as an alternative kind of sacrifice army.

The defeat of Taiyuan came too suddenly, and no one could have predicted it in advance, because in Taiyuan City, most of the people had not had time to flee

Go.

After the order to slaughter the city of Yeluhong was given, Taiyuan soon became a hell on earth, just like the Xilin City not long ago.

On this day, the city of Taiyuan, which was originally prosperous and lively and still enjoyed precious peace under the protection of the Song army, was full of blood and light, and there were helpless wails of the people everywhere, and the tragic situation was unbearable.

War can make peace, but most of the time, it brings suffering. When mountains and rivers are broken, it is the innocent people who suffer the most

Finish.

The news of the destruction of Taiyuan City and the defeat of the Song army soon spread back to Tokyo.

This is the ninth year of the Song Kingdom's heavenly blessing, and another bad news that shocked the Song Kingdom.

After receiving this bad news, the court of the Song Kingdom fell into a panic, because everyone knew what this news meant. The city of Taiyuan was broken, and the Song army was defeated on the battlefield on the middle line, which means that the army of the country of food can drive straight into the hinterland of the Song country in the future and approach Tokyo!

And in the Song Kingdom, there is no power that can stop them. Zhao Shuo's Weiyu army on the western front had to defend against the combined forces of Xia Xi and Mo Khan, and it was impossible to save the central line; Yang Lang's Tianxiong Army on the Eastern Front had to defend against the combined forces of Goryeo and Caiguo, but they could not return to help. The remnants of the soldiers and horses retreating south on the battlefield on the middle line, even if they are organized again, it will be impossible to stop the pace of the army!

The court of the Song Kingdom fell into a panic, and in the main hall, the ministers discussed fiercely with a frightened face, and sighed and sighed. On the dragon chair, Chen Yu sat there with a shocked face, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Not long ago, the news of Xingzi's death and the collapse of the Western Theater had already scared him a lot. Later, Zhou Tianci ascended to heaven and forcibly reversed the tide of the battle, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he had just breathed a sigh of relief, and the bad news came one after another.

First, General Qi Chong, the commander of the Eastern Theater, was killed, and then there was the bad news that the city of Taiyuan was broken and the battlefield on the middle line of the Northern Theater collapsed.

In the main hall, on a large chair lower than Chen Yu's, Zhang Mingtian, the national teacher who has always been calm and calm, was also dignified at this time. He sat there silently, not saying a word, his deep eyes full of worry.

Taiyuan

After the army of the country of Caiguo plundered and slaughtered the city, Yelu Changge led the army to continue south on the second day, heading straight to Tokyo to kill.

Along the way, although the generals of the Song army organized the remnants of the soldiers from Taiyuan and the newly recruited militia to launch resistance, in the face of the 200,000 army of the food country, their resistance was really difficult to stop the pace of the food army.

Chai Shirong, who had withdrawn to the battlefield on the Western Front, originally planned to lead the Heavenly Soldiers to find an opportunity to attack the Cai army from the flank and rear to prevent the Cai army from moving south.

But what frustrated Chai Shirong was that Yelu Changge was very careful, not only did he leave tens of thousands of horses in Taiyuan to guard, but he also had to leave some soldiers and horses to garrison every city he captured on the way to the south. To do this, you need a sufficient number of soldiers and horses to support it, but Yelu Changge is not lacking in soldiers and horses now!

Therefore, Chai Shirong never found a suitable opportunity to attack the Cai army and prevent it from moving south. In desperation, he had no choice but to lead his army slowly southward from the battlefield on the Western Front, while preventing the army from bypassing the rear of Zhao Shuo's army, while continuing to look for opportunities.

The army left Taiyuan and headed south, unstoppable, and four days later, it was two hundred miles north of Tokyo. At this distance, if the food army marches quickly, it only takes two days to reach the city of Tokyo!

Seeing that the food army was about to be killed at the doorstep, inside and outside the imperial city of Tokyo, Deng Shi couldn't help but fall into a panic. Many people in the city have begun to pack up their belongings and prepare to flee south of the city.

In today's Tokyo City, there are only less than 10,000 forbidden troops, and although the army of the country of food has stayed all the way south to garrison the city, the current strength is still more than 100,000. With such a huge disparity in strength, once the army is in full swing and kills the city, Tokyo City may not be able to defend it!

Of course, Tokyo's troops are insufficient, but it still has the last two lines of defense, that is, the Imperial City Array and the National Teacher Zhang Mingtian.

These two lines of defense are also the last hope of the Song Kingdom, and the reason why many people in the city and the hundred officials in the city have not been so frightened that they quickly abandon the city and flee is because they are still full of hope for the imperial city array and the national teacher.

They felt that as long as the Imperial City Array and the National Division were still there, then Tokyo would not be able to break it. Song Guo will not die!

In the palace

Chen Yu paced back and forth in the vertical arch hall with a solemn face, his eyes full of worry. Now that the army of the country is about to be killed, the Song country has reached the most critical time!

The people and officials in Tokyo have confidence in the Imperial City Array and the National Teacher, and Chen Yu also has it. However, he didn't know why, he always felt that he had a very bad premonition in his heart, and always felt that something very bad was going to happen.

This feeling made Chen Yu feel very scared, and his heart was very chaotic for no reason.

The army of the country is coming, and the people and officials in Tokyo put their hopes on the imperial city array and the national teacher Zhang Mingtian.

Emperor Chen Yu also has confidence in the Imperial City Array and the National Teacher. However, he didn't know why, he always felt a very bad premonition in his heart.

This bad premonition made him feel scared for no reason, and he was a little flustered.

After pacing back and forth in the main hall for a while, Chen Yu, who was full of worry, asked the eunuch on the side: "Zhou Tianci's side, the will can be delivered, but is there any news coming back?" ”

The old eunuch, who was nearly half a hundred years old in the main hall, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, it is quite far from Tokyo to Tibet, and the will should not be delivered to General Zhou for the time being, and there is no news yet."

Return. ”

Hearing the old eunuch's answer, Chen Yu couldn't help sighing, and his face became more and more solemn and worried.

A few days ago, after the army broke through Taiyuan and the battlefield on the middle line of the northern theater collapsed, Chen Yu ordered someone to send a message to Tubo to Zhou Tianci, asking him to lead the army back to China to relieve the crisis in Tokyo.
