"Everyone, pay attention, as soon as you walk to the city gate, draw your sword and kill, and then defend the city gate to create enough opportunities for the cavalry to enter the city." Among the 3,000 Liao infantry, the leader walked with his head bowed while whispering orders to the people around him.

The person who came was Hu Yanqing.

It was he who gave Yang Wenguang the idea just now, and he took off the clothes of those Liao soldiers and put them on them, so that they could disguise themselves as Liao soldiers and enter the city.

Hu Yanqing was worried that once the cavalry appeared, if the defenders of Fanyang City sealed the city gate, then they would have to work a lot more to capture the city. For the sake of safety, it is better to directly disguise as the other party, so that the capture of Fan Yang has a greater possibility of success.

Originally, I was worried that when I came to the front of the city, the Liao army guarding the city would have to ask some questions to confirm their identities before letting them enter the city. I didn't expect it to be so smooth, and the city gate was wide open, and I looked very welcome.

Come to think of it, if they are really Liao soldiers, once they enter Fanyang City, it will be equivalent to increasing the strength of the defenders in the city, and these Liao defenders will of course be happy.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer, and the voices of some Liao soldiers can already be heard.

"Rush!"

Hu Yanqing suddenly strode forward and rushed out, followed by three thousand vanguard soldiers disguised as Liao soldiers.

The big blade was waved up and down, and a Liao soldier standing in front of the city gate didn't know what was going on, so he felt a pain in his chest, and then looked down, and what he saw was a big hole in his chest.

"No!"

The Liao soldiers, who had their mouths open, but could no longer make any sound, fell to the ground with unwilling eyes.

They didn't think about why their comrades would attack them.

Hu Yanqing and the others moved extremely fast, everyone was a veteran who had experienced the baptism of the battlefield, and they were used to seeing life and death, and after a knife was slashed, they didn't look at whether the Liao soldiers were really dead, because they had confidence in their sword skills.

Dozens of Liao soldiers were killed by surprise, and they didn't have time to resist at all, so they were surrounded and killed by the vanguard army, and the city gate was lost.

"Oh no, the Song soldiers are here."

At this moment, how can I not know the true identity of Hu Yanqing and these people, some Liao soldiers standing on the city tower, after witnessing everything with their own eyes, turned around and ran.

Soon, the entire Fanyang City was filled with the shouts of Song soldiers killing.

At this time, the sound of horses stepping on the earth sounded, and Yang Wenguang galloped from a distance with more than 2,000 vanguard cavalry.

"Leave some people to guard the gates, and the others will kill me!"

Hu Yanqing didn't want to wait for Yang Wenguang to arrive, he wanted to make military merits first, and then enter the city first.

Zhang Jian was still checking the quantity of various military supplies in the warehouse, when suddenly a noisy shout came from his ears.

At first, because of the distance, I didn't hear it too clearly, but soon, a group of Liao soldiers rushed over, and they were Zhang Jian's personal soldiers.

When I saw Zhang Jian, I didn't say a word, just set up and ran.

"What do you do? What happened?" Seeing that he was set up, Zhang Jian realized that something was wrong and asked out loud.

"My lord, the Song soldiers have entered the city through the south gate, and they will kill us immediately, so we will protect your lord and leave first." The captain replied in a deep voice.

"What? The Song soldiers entered the city, how could it be so fast?" At this time, Zhang Jian's brain was blank.

In front of Qigou Pass, he left behind an army of 30,000. Could it be that something happened to them?

Thinking that it was likely that another 30,000 soldiers would be lost, and that with the defeat of Xincheng before, there would be more than 70,000 soldiers left before and after, Zhang Jian felt that his eyes were dark and he fainted.

Zhang Jian was so tired.

During this time, facing Su Shi brought him a lot of pressure, and it can be said that he couldn't sleep well and eat well.

Now that he suddenly heard that the Song soldiers were killed, he thought that he was likely to lose another 30,000 troops, so he was dizzy and fainted.

The captain of the pro-soldier tried Zhang Jian's snort, and found that he just fainted, and the problem was not big, so he continued to shout, "Quick, protect your lordship from the city."

Leave some people behind and put these... Burn all these things."

The military supplies that had been accumulated with great difficulty, the captain of the personal soldiers did not want to leave them to the Song people who were besieging the city. I just don't know if it's too late.

Zhang Jian fled.

The magnates and gentry in the city also fled with their families.

The entire Fanyang City was in chaos.

After Yang Wenguang entered the city with more than 2,000 cavalry, he did not encounter any decent resistance.

The Liao soldiers in the city either fled, or they didn't have time to escape and chose to surrender on their knees.

There are even some powerful people who have no time to escape, and they are willing to lead the way and take the initiative to guide the vanguard army to various important places in the city.

In the face of death, there are few people who will not be afraid. The Liao people are also people, and they also have Liao women.

The fire was extinguished just after it was ignited, and this is the credit of Liao Nugan.

Fanyang City was breached, and on this night, the entire city was in chaos, and the sounds of begging for mercy and calling for help were endless. It didn't stop until dawn.

That is, after dawn, Hu Yanqing took the 4,000 vanguard army that rested in the second half of the night last night from the north city of Fanyang and continued to kill in the direction of Liangxiang in the north.

Just an hour after Hu Yanqing set off, Xu Ba also went out of the city with 10,000 reserve forbidden troops, followed by 5,000 dragon guards led by Lei Meng and nearly 5,000 black horsemen led by Ji Zhu.

It is conceivable that in the next half a month, the southern part of Great Liaoning, including the entire vicinity of Xijin Mansion, will be in chaos.

Just when Su Shi commanded the army to capture Fanyang City and go all the way to the north, in his rear, Hu Yunfeng's Black Cavalry Temporary Third Brigade and the 30,000 Xinzhou soldiers led by Shi Qianshan also left the new city and crossed the Qigou Pass to the foot of Laishui City.

Concealed his whereabouts along the way, and when he came to the foot of Laishui City, it was in the afternoon.

"General Hu, you see, the number of soldiers defending the city has increased a lot, and it seems that they are on guard." Shi Qianshan put down the telescope in his hand and whispered to the side.

"It's okay, they should know that our main force has captured Fanyang, and they won't think that we will divide our forces to attack Laishui City." Hu Yunfeng said confidently.

With that, he whistled behind him with a smile on his face. Subsequently, Chen Jiu took a group of men wearing Liao people's costumes and began to walk towards the official road in twos and threes, and after a while, he came together with some Liao people who were hurrying on the road.

After Xincheng and Fanyang City were captured successively, the nearby Liao people were panicked.

Many people abandoned the villages and towns where they originally lived, and rushed to the nearby cities with their families.

In their eyes, it seems that staying in the city will be safer.

There were too many people coming from all directions, but the guards of Laishui City were even happier, because the more people in the city, once the Song army really killed, the more power they could use.

So they didn't even do what they were inspecting, and let the people enter the city.

They may have been lucky, thinking that since the Song army went north, they would not come to Laishui City.

But they didn't know that this kind of work like this kind of work that blended into the city was what Chen Jiu, who had been a mountain bandit, was the best thing for them.

In the past, when they attacked the cities of Liao, they often did this. It's just that after doing too much, the Liao State has defense.

But now, the enemy of the Liao State is Su Shi, not these mountain bandits, but it is equivalent to giving them a chance.

Just like Laishui City in front of him, he didn't take too many precautions, and let Chen Jiu and the others disguise themselves as ordinary Liao people to enter the city.

"Alright, let's wait until it's dark." Seeing Chen Jiu and them enter the city, Hu Yunfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat down in the forest, and all the troops who came with him this time began to seize the time to rest.

That is, more than two hours later, that night, there was chaos in Laishui City, three large circles were drawn with torches in front of the East City Gate, and the East City Gate was opened from the inside, and the Black Cavalry Temporary Third Brigade plus 30,000 Xinzhou soldiers entered the city.

Laishui was breached.

Three days later, Hu Yunfeng and others came to Yi County in the west.

When I wanted to enter the city in a similar way, I found that the gate of Yixian County had already been closed, and above the city tower, even if it was dark, there were many torches and countless soldiers.

"If you can't take it, let the five thousand troops out, so that they don't dare to go out of the city."

Hu Yunfeng sighed, but he was not so discouraged. Originally, Su Shi's order was to attack if he could, and the Liao soldiers who could not attack would not dare to go out of the city.

Now that Laishui City is broken, I am afraid that everyone in Liao is in danger, even if they borrow the courage of the two of them, they will not dare to go out of the city to fight.

Leaving 5,000 soldiers and horses outside Yi County, he continued to go west with the army, all the way, but wherever he passed, the Liao soldiers avoided it. This made Hu Yunfeng and the others occupy Taining Mountain, Bauhinia Ridge, Flying Fox City, and Lingqiu City without bloodshed, and completely laid a road to the west at any time.

......

The western border of the Great Song Dynasty, Huizhou, and the city of Fuchuan.

In the yamen of the city, at this moment, a group of people were drinking and chatting here.

On top of the head, it is the owner of this place, Chen Zhizhong.

Chen Zhizhong, whose name is Zhaoyu, is a native of Shicheng, Qianzhou (now Shicheng County, Jiangxi). The son of Chen Shu, the famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chen Zhizhong, who was his son, was also angry, and was the privy envoy and secretary of the ministry at that time.

is also a privy envoy, this is one of the characteristics of the Great Song Dynasty. Or that many dynasties often encounter a problem, that is, there are many officials in one office.

The emperor seems to be afraid that the courtiers below will empty himself, and several key positions will always be arranged to serve together.

For example, the prime minister, the privy envoy, the governor of the council, etc., there are not several people in any position.

This can indeed make power unable to concentrate, but it also produces more internal friction, once there is really something, everyone can pass the buck to each other, and finally delay the opportunity and ruin the big thing.

Chen Zhizhong was also under such circumstances, and was arranged by Zhao Zhen to be a privy envoy in the west and became the real leader of the Western Army.

In this historical period, the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao people was quite harmonious, and although there were Japanese pirates disturbing the border from time to time outside the East China Sea, it was not a climate now. What really needs to be guarded against is the belligerent Western Xia, and there must be a courtier with a heavy enough status here.
