Chapter 623, abandon the darkness and turn to the light
The Song army gathered on the school field, there were many discussions, the scene was noisy, and everyone thought that the commander had decided to break through. Some people are excited, some people are nervous, and some people sigh.
The drumming stopped, and a group of people appeared on the podium directly in front of them. The soldiers of the Song army stopped whispering one after another, looked towards the general platform, and saw the supervisor Zhao Quan and General Long Cheng standing on the general platform surrounded by a group of heavily armored sergeants, but they did not see the figure of the commander, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little strange in their hearts.
Zhao Quan held up the handsome seal and said loudly: "The marshal can't be a director due to a sudden illness, and now the military affairs are temporarily replaced by this supervising army!" When the soldiers heard that the marshal was suddenly ill and could not be controlled, they immediately became in a commotion, and almost everyone had a look of panic and confusion on their faces. The reason why the Song army can still hold on after suffering heavy losses is mainly due to the existence of Cao Yong, Cao Yong has a very high prestige in the army, with him, although the situation is dangerous, the soldiers can still persevere, it can be said that Cao Yong is the spiritual pillar that the Song army can persevere. Now I suddenly heard that the spiritual pillar had fallen, and my morale was on the verge of collapse.
When Zhao Quan saw this scene, not only did he not worry, but secretly rejoiced. Raised his voice: "Everyone be quiet, listen to me!" The soldiers quieted down one after another and looked at Zhao Quan, wanting to see what he had in mind.
Zhao Quan said: "Brothers, we have fallen into a desperate situation, if we can't find a way out of the predicament as soon as possible, in less than five days, even if the Yanyun army outside the city does not attack, we will starve to death!" The soldiers were in an uproar, and everyone was terrified to the extreme, and several generals frowned, really not understanding why the overseer was talking like this? As a result, morale collapses and things get even more out of control!
Zhao Quan continued: "Now there is only one way to live! Speaking of this, he paused deliberately. The soldiers shouted one after another: "My lord, what are you talking about the way to live? Help us! ”
Zhao Quan said: "Sooner or later, Yanyun will dominate the world, just as the Great Han is bound to replace the Great Qin, and the Tang Dynasty will inevitably succeed the Great Sui, this is the inevitable way of heaven, and non-human beings can stop it!" And the Zhao and Song official families, can not make the people live and work in peace and contentment, but make corrupt officials rampant, the people are like dogs and sheep, in dire straits, brothers present, who of you have received even the slightest benefit from the Zhao Song official family? Which family is not poor and abnormal, bullied by the local squire bullies and the royal government! ”
When the soldiers heard his words, they couldn't help but get excited, and many people shouted one after another, and the most fierce of them even shouted the slogan of killing the emperor and rebelling! Several generals in the crowd saw that the momentum was not right, and their faces changed greatly, but the army's rebellious heart had obviously been stirred up, and if they came forward to stop it at this time, they were afraid that not only could they not stop it, but they would bury one of their lives, so several generals who were still loyal to Zhao Song did not come out to speak! The clamor of rebellion on the scene became more and more intense, and in the end, it seemed to form a rolling angry wave, which was already uncontrollable!
Zhao Quan was pleasantly surprised when he saw that things were going more smoothly than he expected, and raised his right hand high. Seeing this, the soldiers stopped shouting and looked at him. A middle-level officer said loudly: "My lord, let's go to Yanyun!" The last general has long heard that Yanyun has food and clothing, and there are no corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the last general also wants to live in such a place! Countless officers and soldiers chimed in.
Zhao Quan said loudly: "I just want to talk about this matter!" "There was silence on the school grounds. Zhao Quan continued: "This prison army, in order to save the 100,000 soldiers here, and for the people of Jiangnan to no longer suffer from the dire situation, I am willing to bear the infamy of disloyalty!" Today, this prison army is going to lead you to Yanyun! From now on, everyone can live a good life! The 100,000 soldiers cheered in unison. Seeing this scene, several generals loyal to Zhao Song couldn't help but change their attitudes, and felt that defecting to Yanyun was not a bad thing.
Immediately, Zhao Quan led the army out of the city from the South City Gate, which had already been controlled by Fang Yue and Li Shanhe, and before arriving at the camp of the Yanyun army, they threw their weapons and surrendered to the Yanyun army.
When Yelu Hanyu saw this scene, he felt really surprised, and then he wondered why Cao Yong, who was more stubborn than the stones in the pit, suddenly opened up? Yelu Hanyu was fully clothed and led all the soldiers out of the camp to accept the surrender of the Song army. Seeing that the general standing at the front was not Cao Yong, he couldn't help but feel very strange, and then his heart moved and he thought of the reason. glanced at the soldiers of the Song army, and said loudly: "You can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, this commander is very happy!" Each person will be rewarded with a silver tael! The soldiers of the Song army were originally trembling, worried about what Yan Yunjun would do with them, but now when they heard the beautiful princess say that they would reward no one with a tael of silver, their worries disappeared and they kowtowed to thank them.
Immediately, under the leadership of Zhao Quan and others, Yanyun's army marched into Chenzhou. Yelu Hanyu was promoted in the Chenzhou Mansion, first rewarded Zhao Quan and others, and still made them the commanders of this Song army, Zhao Quan and others were overjoyed and kowtowed to thank them. Immediately, Yelu Hanyu ordered Shi Liancheng to be the commander of the South Route Army, and led the Fourth and Fifth Army Corps to go down to the Guangnan East Road from the Qitian Ridge, and cooperated with the naval army to sweep the Liangguang area; And he himself and Duan Zhixian led two other legions and the Song army that had come over to aid Hongzhou. The order was given, and the army rested in Chenzhou for a night and immediately began to act.
The fighting in the south was put aside for a moment, and the eyes turned back to the north.
Yelu Tiger City couldn't receive good news from other directions this time, and couldn't help but become anxious. On this day, Yeyu Hucheng gathered all the generals and military advisors Jiang Tong and said, "We haven't received good news from other directions, we can't wait like this anymore!" They looked at each other, but they didn't speak. Everyone felt that the king should have remembered that the army was attacking head-on, and subconsciously felt that such a way of playing might not outweigh the losses, but thinking so in their hearts, they didn't dare to say it.
Jiang Tong hugged his fists and said, "King, you might as well endure it for a while!" Yeron Tiger City frowned and did not speak. looked at Jiang Tong and said, "You are a military advisor, give me a way to break the current deadlock!" ”
Jiang Tong said with a sigh: "King, waiting for other directions to attack Yanyun's mansion and transfer the Yanyun army away is the best policy!" Now that we are waiting for the battle situation from other directions to come, the king should be restless, please wait a while! Tiger City stood up and paced back and forth, feeling a bad premonition in his heart, but he didn't want to say it. He stopped and muttered, "Okay! Just wait a little longer! When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Ye Hu Cheng suddenly said angrily: "What makes me most angry is the Goryeo Army!" The 200,000 Goryeo army attacked Longmen Mountain, which was guarded by 20,000 or 30,000 Yanyun troops, and after so many days, there was no progress! These Koreans simply grew up eating! All the generals also rushed to be angry, and they all shouted and cursed.
In the big tent of Yanyun Army in Niulanshan, Yang Peng looked at a secret report he had just received and smiled slightly. Stood up, walked to the map, looked at the map and thought. Then he returned to the desk and looked at it, put down the secret report, picked up the letterhead, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote quickly. A moment later, a letter was written, the ink was blown dry, folded, and placed in an envelope. The name of the recipient was not written on the letter, but a secret guard was called, and he handed the letter to him, instructing: "Send someone at once to deliver this letter to Du Cai's hands." The secret guard agreed, took the letter with both hands, and ran down. Du Cai, who has already appeared before, is the Yanyun spy who lurked in Shangjing of Liao State as a businessman.
The Goryeo veteran Li Bongxian led an army of 200,000 to the foot of Longmen Mountain, originally intending to attack, but a secret letter made him dismiss this plan. This is also the main reason why the 200,000-strong Goryeo army has not made any progress for so many days.
On this day, the veteran Li Fengxian received a strict order sent by Ye Yu Hucheng, and the wording of the order was very harsh, ordering him to capture Longmen Mountain within five days, otherwise he would be dealt with by military law. Li Fengxian frowned, took the order, and paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back.
The sound of footsteps at the door came, Jin Wanzai, Height, Li Long and other Goryeo generals walked in and bowed together: "Old general! Li Fengxian stopped, raised the order in his hand, and said: "Ye Yu Hucheng has sent someone to send an order, strictly ordering that we must capture Longmen Mountain within five days, otherwise the military law will deal with it!" ”
The generals couldn't help frowning, and Jin Wanzai couldn't help but shout: "What kind of military law!" We are the Goryeo Army, not the Khitan Army! When the generals heard this, they were all moved. Li Fengxian sighed and said faintly: "Where is there any Goryeo now!" Didn't you see that our homeland had been divided between the queen mother of the Liao Kingdom and the nobles of the Khitan? The generals were sad and indignant, but they didn't speak, and the atmosphere at the scene seemed a little depressing.
Li Fengxian glanced at the generals and asked, "Do you want to be the general of this Khitan forever, or do you want to be our own general in Goryeo?" The generals didn't think about it and clenched their fists and said: "Naturally, we want to be our own generals in Goryeo!" ”
Li Fengxian showed appreciation, nodded and said, "Okay!" You guys are good! is worthy of being a good man in our Goryeo, with backbone! Jin Wanzai frowned and said: "However, now that our Goryeo no longer exists, how can we be the generals of Goryeo back?" Li Fengxian's eyes radiated an astonishing light, and he said: "Our Goryeo army is still there, and the Goryeo Kingdom has not perished!" ”
The generals immediately realized something, and they were all shocked, and then they all showed excitement. Li Fengxian took out the secret letter he had received before, handed it to Jin Wanzai, and said, "This is a secret letter from His Majesty the Emperor of Goryeo, take a look!" The eyes of all the generals lit up, and Jin Wanzai hurriedly took the letter with both hands, took out the stationery, and unfolded it to look at it.
Jin Wanzai read the secret letter, talked about superstition and handed it over to others, and suddenly said: "I said that the old general did not attack in order to lead us to Longmen Mountain, it turned out to be a secret order from His Majesty!" Li Fengxian nodded. After reading the secret letter, everyone looked very excited, and Li Long returned the secret letter to Li Fengxian. Li Fengxian carefully put away the secret letter, glanced at the generals, and said, "Your Majesty's intentions, do you all understand?" ”
The generals nodded, and Jin Wanzai said with admiration: "Your Majesty is wise, seeing that the main force of the Liao State is now restrained by the Yan Yun Army and is powerless to take care of it, it is a good time to recover our Goryeo!" ”
Gao asked impatiently: "Old general, when are we going to act?" Li Fengxian frowned and said, "There is a problem in the middle, and that is Your Majesty's safety." If we suddenly raise troops to the east, it will inevitably arouse the alarm of the Liao court, and Your Majesty will be in danger! ”
The generals couldn't help but show a look of worry, and Li Long asked, "What should I do?" Gao said: "Do you send someone to secretly enter Shangjing first, rescue Your Majesty first, and then we will act?" ”
Li Fengxian shook his head and said, "This is not good. Although this can ensure the safety of His Majesty, it will also arouse the vigilance of the Liao State, so that he will take action, and our army's plan to return to the east to recapture the homeland by surprise will be frustrated! ”
The generals looked at each other, and Jin Wanzai frowned: "In other words, the operation to rescue His Majesty and the operation of our army to return to the east must be carried out at the same time?" Li Fengxian nodded, "That's it." Jin Wanzai said: "That's easy to do." We will first agree with Your Majesty on the date of action, and then send someone to infiltrate Shangjing, and when the time comes, both sides will act at the same time! ”
Li Fengxian said: "Your Majesty has sent someone to confirm the time with me two days ago, and now when the time comes, we can take action!" Gao Gao said in surprise: "The Goryeo merchant who came two days ago is the secret envoy sent by His Majesty?" Li Fengxian nodded, "That's him!" Your Majesty and I have set the time after five days, during which time we must be prepared and kept in strict secrecy! You should know that once the news leaks out, this major event will fall short, and we and Your Majesty will also suffer a catastrophe! The generals were heartbroken and promised together. Li Fengxian said again: "For the time being, only a few of you can know about this matter, and you can't reveal anything about other generals!" I can't fully trust them yet! The generals answered.
Just when the dark tide of the battlefield on the northern front was surging, the battle in the south was in full swing.
Liu Guangshi led an army of 200,000 to storm Hongzhou (Nanchang) for many days, but he could not break the city, and Liu Guangshi couldn't help but be angry. On this morning, Liu Guangshi gathered all his troops and stormed Hongzhou City on all sides. The Yanyun army defending Hongzhou is only 30,000 Hanzhong troops, and it is very commendable to be able to hold on to this time, but now in the face of the Song army's desperate attack on all sides, it is gradually unable to resist! The soldiers of the Song army continued to climb the city wall from all sides, and the gap in the city wall widened at a speed visible to the naked eye! Yang Qi and Qiong Ying, seeing that the situation was critical, led the personal guards to the bloody battle, and the soldiers saw the princess go to the battlefield to fight, and they couldn't help but boost their morale, everyone fought bravely, and they all competed for the first, but after all, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and the Song army had already killed the red eye, Yan Yunjun could not reverse the defeat at all, and after a round of fierce counterattack like a return to the light, they were defeated and retreated at a faster speed!
Seeing that the city was about to be broken, Liu Guangshi couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "I heard that the princesses in the city are all rare beauties, but they can't fall for them, after the city is broken, she will definitely be included in the account!" Thinking of the molested place, I couldn't help but be excited and inexplicable, and I couldn't help but swallow my saliva. came back to his senses, and hurriedly said to the herald: "If the order goes down, you must capture Princess Yanyun alive!" The herald made a promise, rode his horse to the city wall, and shouted loudly: "The handsome man has an order, and he must capture the princess of Yan alive!" The handsome man has an order, and he must capture the princess of Yan alive! ……”
Yang Qi and Yang Erya, who were fighting with the enemy, were furious when they heard such shouts. Yang Qi slashed over a Song Army officer who rushed up, and smiled at Yang Erya who was not far away: "Sister Yang Erya, they want to capture us alive!" Yang Erya snorted, glanced at the Song Army Shuai Qi outside the city, and said proudly: "If the city is broken, how can our sisters survive and shame the eldest brother!" As he spoke, he slashed a Song soldier to the ground. Yang Qi nodded, and was about to speak, when a sharp arrow suddenly flew up from under the city, and thrust into Yang Qi's chest with a pop, and Yang Qi fell to the ground with a muffled snort. Seeing this, Yang Erya was shocked, hurriedly ran over, picked up Yang Qi, and shouted: "Sister, sister, sister......" Yang Erya spurted out a mouthful of blood, looking very painful.
At this moment, there was a great commotion from the west gate. Yang Erya was startled, and hurriedly turned her head to look at the West City Gate, only to see that the rolling soldiers were pouring into the city, and the defense line of the West City Gate had been lost!
Yang Qi grabbed Yang Erya's arm and said, "Sister, the city can't be defended, don't worry about me, hurry up and break through!" Yang Erya pursed her lips and shook her head, and immediately beckoned the female guard to lift Yang Qi, and then prepared to order the whole army to break through. In fact, even if you want to break through at this moment, it will be very difficult! 30,000 Hanzhong County fought to this moment, has lost more than half, the rest are either injured or exhausted, in this situation in the face of 200,000 enemy encirclement, want to break through, it can be said that it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Yang Erya ordered several generals around him: "Pass the order, the whole army will break through to the west!" The generals said yes and ran down. The Yanyun army on the defense line everywhere gave up the defense, broke through to the west, and broke out a series of fierce battles with the Song army in the city, and the exhausted and scarred Yanyun army was annihilated, blood flew in the streets and alleys, and the Yanyun soldiers fell in a pool of blood one by one! However, the Song army did not take any advantage, and often killed a Yanyun sergeant, and had to pay a price of death or even more!
More and more Song troops poured in from the four city gates, and Yan Yun's army could not break out, so the remnants of the army could only escort Yang Erya and Yang Qi to retreat to the government office. Liu Guangshi personally led a large army to surround the government. An officer rushed to Liu Guangshi's horse and reported; "Dashuai, then Princess Yan is inside!" Liu Guangshi's eyes lit up, and he shouted inside: "Princess, don't be afraid!" I, Liu Guangshi, pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, I will not hurt you! Yang Erya and Yang Qi were furious, Yang Qi spurted out a mouthful of blood under anger and fainted, Yang Erya was so frightened to death when she saw this, and hurriedly called the female doctor for treatment.
Liu Guangshi continued to shout: "Yan Yun is bound to perish under the siege of our Six Kingdoms!" There is only one way to follow Yang Peng! It's better to follow me Liu Guangshi, and ensure that you have endless glory and wealth for a lifetime! The soldiers of the Song army laughed insolently. The remaining Yanyun soldiers were so angry that they wanted to rush out and fight the enemy!
Yang Erya saw that the two female medical officers were busy, and hurriedly asked, "Sister, how is she?" ”
A female medical officer clasped her fists and said: "If you go back to Niangniang, Yang Qi is seriously injured, but there is no danger to her life for the time being." Yang Erya heard that there was no danger to her life for the time being, and she couldn't help but relax a little. At this time, he heard Liu Guangshi farting outside, and he couldn't help but be angry, and immediately left the hall and climbed the wall of the mansion.
Liu Guangshi suddenly saw a beautiful female general appear on the wall, and what he was saying couldn't help but stop abruptly, staring at Qiong Ying with a pair of eyes, and shouting in his heart: "It's so beautiful!" So beautiful! When she came back to her senses, her heart's thirst for the two Yanyun princesses couldn't help but become stronger, and she shouted loudly: "The little lady must have figured it out and wants to come to me!" The Song soldiers laughed.
Yang Erya smiled coldly, pulled out two flying knives, and suddenly threw them at Liu Guangshi. When Liu Guangshi was in a trance, where did he think that the other party would suddenly throw and fly, and when he reacted, the two cold lights were already close at hand! Liu Guangshi was so frightened that he hurriedly rolled off the horse and dodged in embarrassment. Shocked, he only felt greatly embarrassed, pointed to Qiong Ying on the city wall and shouted hysterically: "Toast and don't eat and drink!" Come on, give me offense, offense! ”
The war drums of the Song army sounded loudly, and the army was about to attack. Qiong Ying frowned, and said secretly: Big brother, little sister is going to say goodbye to you forever!
Woowoowoo...... Suddenly, the sound of a trumpet came from afar. The soldiers on both sides in the city suddenly heard this voice and couldn't help but be stunned. Yang Erya's face showed a look of surprise, and then she felt incredulous. At this moment, the sound of the horn came again, and it was obviously closer than just now! Yang Erya was definitely not an illusion at this time, it was real, and she couldn't help but shout in surprise: "It's our horn sound!" Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming! The Yanyun soldiers cheered one after another.
And the Song army outside the mansion was flustered, looking at a loss. Liu Guangshi shouted in panic: "What's going on? At this moment, I saw several generals under his command rushing over in a panic, not caring about saluting, and shouting in a gaffe: "Oh no, no, no!" Yan Yunjun, Yan Yunjun has entered the city! As if in response to their words, there were rumbling and earth-shattering shouts from all directions, like thunder and tsunami, and the soldiers of the Song army were even more panicked.
Immediately, I saw countless Song army soldiers in the surrounding streets and alleys rushing in a hurry, and the surging Yanyun battle flags and swords and guns like a forest were seen in the distance, and the rolling roar was constantly approaching!
Just when the soldiers of the Song army were panicking, the sound of war drums suddenly came from inside the palace. The soldiers of the Song army were startled, and then they saw that the beautiful Princess Yan led hundreds of remnants of Yan Yun to kill them. The Song army was crushed at the first touch, and wolves rushed in all directions. At this time, Yan Yun's army came out from the streets and alleys on all sides and besieged the Song army that had collapsed!
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
