"Stop, the whole city is curfew, and those who act without permission will be killed!"

"Stop, don't stop and let go of the arrow."

"Everybody's squatting!"

Unfortunately, such warnings are of no use at all. On the contrary, it aroused the vigilance of the other party, and at the first time, someone on the other side shouted Khitan language, and a group of people suddenly rushed out of the surrounding streets and rushed towards the city gate.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Kill!"

The forbidden army on Hebei West Road, even if it is a patrol soldier carefully selected by Wang Jin, cannot be compared with the dead soldiers raised by the Han family for more than a hundred years.

Under the shadow of the sword and sword, one by one the soldiers fell down with a roar, seeing that the Song army near the city gate was about to be cleared.

Suddenly, the rocket shot into the sky, and suddenly exploded in the air, illuminating the darkness of the night like a meteor. Even if it's just for a moment.

Wang Jin is in Yanzhou, it is impossible to be upright and worry-free, he is even a little worried, like an ant on a hot pot. In Yanzhou, there is a city of the Liao State dozens of miles away, and Yanzhou has a reason why the Liao State has to recover.

It's a pity that he wanted to run to Zhending Mansion, but Antun wouldn't let him.

His command of the war was not very good.

But he found danger, and the means of saving his life were indeed superior.

The curfew in the city is just Wang Jin's means in Yanzhou City.

The patrol soldiers at the various city gates, the open sentry, the secret sentry, as long as he could think of it, he arranged it all.

It was the soldiers who stood in front of the fire, leaning on the fire while keeping watch out for movement in the night. Generally, the effect of this kind of sentry post is very ordinary, after all, it is a person who puts it on the surface, and basically does not expect them to play the role of warning the whole army.

This is the means of Wang Jin's back.

It's a pity that for Song Jun, this method seems to be futile.

Han Zirang stood in front of the crowd and commanded his subordinates: "Open the city gate!" ”

Giggles

The heavy gate was pushed open, and Han Zirang occupied the city, asked his men to prepare torches, and began to swing.

Xiao Gan outside the city had already prepared, and the moment he saw the firelight, he pulled out his waist knife and shouted, "The whole army enters the city." ”

At this moment, his heart was extremely hot, and after leaving the capital of Da Liao, Xijin Mansion for two months, he finally returned to the hands of Da Liao again. In his opinion, the Song army in the city was nothing more than a group of lambs to be slaughtered, and they had no resistance.

In particular, Yanzhou did not suffer devastating destruction at the hands of the Song people.

Most of the buildings are intact, and even the treasury remains, except that some precious materials have been lost. Such a loss is completely bearable for Liao.

After jumping into the city first, Xiao Gan said to Han Zi: "Lord Han, your people are under the command of this official, and the city is taken over by the leather room army. ”

"You-"

It was the people of the Han family who opened the city gate, and it was the dead soldiers of the Han family who died, and even in this sneak attack, it was the Han family who took the biggest threat. However, as soon as the people of the royal court entered the city, they abandoned them, and even did not hesitate to control them as subordinates in order to gain merit.

The person who spoke was very young and echoed the impulsive character of a young man of his age: "Xijin Mansion is preserved by my Han family, and the city gate is also opened by our Han family, Xiao Gan, don't you think that you can do whatever you want in Xijin Mansion if you tie up with the emperor's grandson?" This is not your Xiao family's territory. ”

That's right, Xijin Mansion, that is, the former Yanzhou, has always been the territory of the Han family.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Han family had supreme power in this land, and when they were about to get great credit, they were taken away by a minister next to the emperor's grandson, so how could he endure it.

Xiao Gan didn't pay attention to the other party at all, but looked at Han Zirang: "Han Zirang, take care of your son, you dedicated the city to the Song people, and Your Majesty didn't study it with you, it's already a great favor, don't be uninteresting!" ”

"Kuan'er, come back."

Han Zirang never thought about fighting for this credit at all, and he also knew that he had not been trusted by the court since the moment he dedicated the city. Although there was a last resort reason for the dedication of the city, he even believed that if it was Yelu Yanxi, the imperial grandson of the Great Liao, who was in the city, he would also have to open the city finally to welcome the Song army because he was unable to defend the city.

Because it was a pointless struggle, the decency of the Great Liao had been completely discarded after His Majesty the Emperor was defeated by the Song army under the command of Li Kui in Qingheyuan and fled from the battlefield.

Even when he dedicated the city to Li Kui, he had a full reason. He had to make a choice in order to protect the Great Liao Palace.

"Daddy!"

Young people are angry, so they naturally refuse.

However, when Han Zirang sank his face, Han Shikuan still retreated behind him.

Xiao Gan looked at Han Zirang's reaction contemptuously, now is not the period when Empress Dowager Xiao is in power, your Han family is not as good as the next generation. Arrogantly pointing at Han Zirang with his chin, Xiao Gan said, "In which city is the Song army camping?" Let your people lead the way. ”

A sneak attack at night can easily cause a bombing of the camp.

What Xiao Gan had to do was to drive the Song army in the city like driving cattle and sheep, and then keep strangling behind the Song army, increasing the casualties of the Song army as much as possible, and preparing to control the whole city after dawn.

But Han Zirang's answer made him stunned all of a sudden.

I saw Han Zirang helplessly said: "East, west, north and south, there are Song troops in every urban area." ”

"Will Song be a fool? How could it be so distributed, and what exactly was he doing? Could it be that he is not 30,000 soldiers and horses, but 100,000 soldiers and horses? ”

Xiao Gan roared angrily at Han Zirang.

Han Zirang said helplessly: "Xiao Yushi, Han is just a subordinate, and the Song people don't trust me." How is it possible to tell me the purpose of such a formation? As for the number of troops, there are really only 30,000 horses, which Han can guarantee. ”

"I hope you're telling the truth!"

"Let's go!"

After speaking, Xiao Gan took the soldiers and horses directly to the palace of the original king of the Southern Courtyard, this magnificent palace was originally the ancestral residence of the Han family. At that time, Han Derang was the regent of the Liao State, and when he was sick, it was the Queen Mother who fed him like a daughter-in-law. It can be seen how monstrous the power of the Han family was back then. It's a pity that with the Han family's status in the Liao State not guaranteed, this palace, which is second only to the imperial palace in the city, can only be caught.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, not to mention that the generals of the Song Dynasty understand this truth, and the Liao people are also very clear.

For a city, the most luxurious mansion must be the place where the high-level Song Jun lived. And this is also an important battle for Xiao Gan to control and capture the top of the Song army at the first time.

For this reason, Xiao Gan did not hesitate to waste time not to take care of the important military camps and warehouses of the Song army.

Instead, he rushed headlong to the palace of the king of the Southern Courtyard.

As for why the high-ranking generals of the Song army did not live in the imperial palace of the Liao State?

First, before coming, Han Zirang had already told him that the commander of the Song army, An Dan, had never even been to the palace, and he would not live in the palace at all.

Secondly, the Liao people, who were deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, also understood that if the generals who fought abroad broke the city and caused trouble to the palace of a country, then their behavior was no different from rebellion in the eyes of the emperor.

Han Shikuan was still not convinced, staring at the cavalry that the brigade rushed past them, and unconvinced to his father Han Zi: "Father, is it just that?" ”

Han Zirang sighed: "If he wants credit, let him go." We need to keep a low profile today. Besides, don't look at the Song army's combat power doesn't seem to be strong, but Wang Jin is not an easy character to deal with. ”

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? Wang Jin, a waste that the 40,000-strong army can't even defeat the 3,000-man guarded Shunzhou? "Han Shikuan is a young man, if his father said Li Kui, he will naturally be convinced.

But Wang Jin ...... This is the waste of Tianzi No. 1!

This general of the Song Army is simply a waste at home. His father also said that Wang Jin is not easy to deal with, doesn't it mean that Han Zi Rang is more wasteful than Wang Jin?

Everything else can be endured, but being treated as a waste, Han Shikuan definitely can't bear it.

Han Zirang snorted coldly: "When you meet a demon god-like celestial like Li Kui, do you think Xiao Gan still dares to come?" Don't talk about Xiao Gan, even His Majesty doesn't dare to come. That is, Wang Jin, who added a lot of courage to Zhongjing. Besides, Wang Jin, your father and I have been in the army for more than 20 years, and I didn't see the number of ways he arranged the troops, which was not simple. It's just that he's not good at attacking cities, but it's definitely not that this person can't make trouble. I always feel that Xiao Gan will suffer in the hands of Wang Jin. ”

Han Shikuan was stunned: "Is this possible? Didn't the Leather Room Army enter the city? Could it be that Wang Jin can still fly out? ”

"Forget it, don't talk about that. Don't be emotional, just follow the actions of the leather room army, don't be impulsive. Now that my Han family is swaying, it's good to be able to protect myself. ”

There is no way to do this, since the Han family reached its peak in the hands of Han Derang, it has begun to decline. Especially after the Han family was given the surname Yelu, it was tantamount to dismantling their prestige among the Han people.

This is also why in the battle, good things are not his turn, and the unlucky queen is always inseparable from him.

Han Zirang condensed his gaze and said to his son: "Order the children of the Han family to follow." ”

Xiao Gan was very familiar with everything in the city, even in the dark of night, he could lead the army straight to the palace, when he was thinking about how to capture the generals of the Song army, and capture tens of thousands of Song troops in one fell swoop, and let out a bad breath for His Majesty. The palace of the king of the southern courtyard suddenly caught fire, and the firelight ran west along the main hall to the backyard.

Xiao Gan looked at the battlefield with shouts and killings in surprise, and said angrily: "Quick, hurry up and strangle the Song army." ”

"Put out the fire right away."

Yanzhou City was not damaged in the slightest in the hands of Han Zirang, if it was damaged in the hands of Xiao Gan, it would be a slap in the face.

This was the purpose of his rush to put out the fire.

But when the fire starts, how easy is it to put out the fire?

The Song army in the palace was quickly killed, but what made Xiao Gan realize that something was wrong was that the commander of the Song army, An Dan, was not in the mansion.

Not only was the commander of the Song army, An Dan, not in the palace, but also Wang Jin, the commander of the Song army, was not in the palace.

Xiao Gan's face was gloomy and he looked at his subordinates around him, and said unwillingly: "Search, search for me, even if you turn the palace upside down, you have to find out the people for me." ”

He firmly believed that An Dan and Wang Jin must be in the city, after all, Xijin Mansion was the capital of the Liao State.

The officials of the Song State certainly did not dare to give up if they gave up.

As long as a person is in the city, and not in the king's house, he should be in the barracks.

But the damned Song army has arranged barracks in the four areas of the city, east, west, north and south, and he has to rely on the 5,000 men and horses in his hands, plus the 5,000 men and horses of Han Zirang, and attack the barracks of the Song army one by one.

Isn't that very variable?

The key is that the people and horses of South Korea's capital will definitely not do their best in this battle.

In this way, only his own 5,000 soldiers and horses can be killed.

The leather room army was a cavalry, and it was inconvenient to fight in the city, and if the Song army turned the streets into a fortress for defense, he would have no place to cry.

Before attacking the palace, Wang Jin has been showing up, and the palace that has been blocked before and after has not escaped, and after the resistance is completely over, Wang Jin has not appeared, so it means that Wang Jin is not in the palace.

But Wang Jin must be in the city.

Where is he?

Xiao Gan had a headache, if he couldn't catch the commander of the Song army, the success of this sneak attack would be much lower. It can even turn into a bitter battle.

This is an outcome that he does not want to see.

At this time, Wang Jin happened to be in the granary.

There is no grain in the granary in Yanzhou, and the previous grain was almost consumed by Yelu Hongji in the war, and then it was robbed once before the city was broken, and all the grain stored in it was actually the grain of the Song army.

The grain was piled up in a small area of the granary, and it seemed that the whole granary was empty. This place is the most unlikely target in Yanzhou City, but it has become the place where Wang Jin sleeps every night. It's incredible, but that's what Wang Jin did.

Wang Jin lived in the granary at night, and went to the palace during the day to show his face.

The reason for this choice is that it is close to the city gate, and it is only a wall away from the outside of the city to the west of the city. He even ordered the entire city wall to be hollowed out, and the army could go out after the wall was collapsed at any time. Tens of thousands of horses, if you want to get out of the city gate, it will take a long time, but what if it is a section of city wall half a mile wide?

In a short time, tens of thousands of horses can leave the city at once.

On the contrary, the location of the palace is in the center of Yanzhou City, and if it is really surrounded, he will not be able to escape.

Seeing the fire in the city, Wang Jin, who was standing at the head of the city, scolded angrily: "Han Zi let this thief betray us and others." ”

"General, why do you think it's Han Zi Rang?"

The subordinate didn't know why, so he quickly asked.

"Who else is it not him?"

Wang Jin angrily threw the whip in his hand on the head of the city, and ordered his subordinates: "Raise three Kong Ming lanterns." ”

"Pull off all the wooden pillars that support the walls. Leave all the gates on me, and if the Liao army can't tell the direction of my retreat, they can give us at least an hour or two. ”

"General!"

"What are you doing in a daze, go quickly!"

If he really died in the city, Wang Jin was afraid that he would be dragged back, and he would never be able to run again. The reason why he had to accept the retreat of the army was only his response.

But before retreating, he needed to see the city of Yanzhou burning in hellish fire.

Since he was destined to leave, he didn't mind causing more trouble to the Liao army.

This city is destined to be discarded in his hands, and he will definitely not give the Liao people an intact Yanzhou City. For this reason, he hid a lot of materials for ignition before, in the real Yanzhou City. And warned all the lieutenants, the lieutenants who run away without arson, to engage in military law.

Of course, the reason is also very simple, let all the Liao people go to fight the fire, so that they have a chance to escape.

The fire in the palace of the Great King of the Southern Courtyard was only the first step.

With the east, south, and north cities all set fire one after another, even some of the streets of the west city were also set on fire.

Xiao Gan was stunned when he saw that the fire had spread to the entire city, he only had five thousand people, and he couldn't save this city of hundreds of thousands of people at all. The people in the city also began to rush out of their homes in a mess, and when they saw the burning city, Xiao Gan's mouth was a little dry, and his back was cold.

He is not a fireproof person, but when he came, Xijin Mansion was burned down, even if he was deeply trusted by His Majesty, he couldn't get rid of it.

Countless workshops, government offices, and mansions were caught in flames.

But that's just the beginning.

Because the most important Miyagi is also showing signs of being affected by the fire.

In the choice between chasing and killing the Song army and fighting the fire, Xiao Gan remorsefully ordered: "The whole army will immediately go to the area around the palace to fight the fire, and the palace city cannot be destroyed." ”

"General, aren't we going to chase the Song army?"

"Will you take your soldiers and horses into a pit that is clearly a trap?"

In Xiao Gan's eyes, Song Jun was obviously prepared, and all this was not heard by the Korean capital.

As for the Han Zirang and Song Jun's gang, it can't be said, Xiao Gan or Han Zirang put it into the city?

When the sky was dark, Wang Jin had already fled to the Qinghe Plain with his soldiers and horses.

The wind was whining, and a soldier and horse came in front of him, which made him nervous suddenly: "Who is coming?" ”

"It's Liu Fa, General Liu Fa!"

"But General Wang Jin?"

The moment Wang Jin saw Liu Fa, his heart, which had escaped all night, could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He said to Liu Fa eagerly: "Our army was besieged by the Liao army, and we were invincible in a desperate battle, so we could only retreat." ”

Liu Fa looked at Wang Jin and the army behind him, and fell into strange contemplation, looking not like he had retreated from a bloody battle, but like he had returned from arson, mainly because many soldiers were dusty and had traces of being burned by flames.

Liu Fa asked in a deep voice: "How many people are there in the Liao army?" ”

Wang Jin was puzzled: "Probably Qi, there are more than 100,000!" ”
