Xiao Lou said annoyedly: "With only 3,000 people, how capable they are, I don't believe in this evil!" ”

Xiao Zhanle saw that Lou was troubled and had made up his mind, so he had to stay.

Xiao Lou ordered 10,000 soldiers and horses to line up. But before the military formation was arranged, the Daming Xuanjia war cavalry had already rolled in like a black cloud. Xiao Lou couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly ordered the crossbowmen to fire arrows. The crossbowmen hurriedly fired their arrows, which flew haphazardly towards the enemy.

Almost at the same time, the Xuanjia war horses flipped under the horse's belly together. When the arrow fell, the Xuanjia War Rider was like galloping in the rain, and did not suffer much damage. Immediately, the Xuanjia war horse turned over and suddenly revealed a piece of throwing spear, just like a dark cloud to pounce on the Khitan army! I only heard a loud crackling sound, and the spear fell into the Khitan army formation, the Khitan soldiers fell on their horses, and the other Khitan soldiers subconsciously retreated backwards!

At this moment, the Xuanjia War Horse rushed into the military formation like a whirlwind, the iron hooves rolled forward, and the sword light flickered and the flesh and blood flew sideways! Xiao Lou was annoyed by this scene and kept shouting at the top of his throat, and the Khitan soldiers were also desperately resisting! However, the power of the Xuanjia War Horse was too amazing, and the Khitan army, which had not been able to fully form a formation, could not resist it at all, and fell under the opponent's iron hoof blade one by one, and flesh and blood flew sideways!

Zhan Jin took the lead and went straight to the Khitan army under the banner, and the spear stabbed out at Xiao Lou in a hurry! Xiao Lou hurriedly blocked, and barely blocked the blow with a snap! The two horses staggered, Zhan Jinguo swung his left fist and slammed it on Xiao Lou's annoying front door, Xiao Lou annoyed felt as if he had opened a dyeing shop, screamed, and fell off his horse.

Xiao Zhanle and his relatives hurriedly came up to save Xiao Lou. At this time, the Khitan army had been defeated under the fierce slaughter of the Xuanjia army.

Zhan Jin led the Xuanjia army to chase and kill another one before collecting his troops and returning home.

Xiao Lou was very frightened when he saw the embarrassed Xiao Zhanle and Xiao Lou annoyed, although he had already expected the difficulty of this war, he didn't expect that he would be defeated so badly at the beginning of the war!

Xiao Lou looked at Xiao Zhanle, frowned and asked, "Why did Lekang lose in a blink of an eye?" The city of Lekang was strengthened not long ago, although the Ming army has a large number of cannons, it is impossible to capture Lekang in such a short time, right? ”

Xiao Zhanle hurriedly said: "Dashuai Mingjian, the development speed of Daming is really far beyond our previous expectations!" They have made a cannon that is far more powerful than the Monty Python cannon, and our cannon is far beyond their reach on the fort on the wall, but they can easily bombard us! In less than half an hour, the entire western city wall was blown down everywhere! Immediately, the enemy army swarmed in, and although our army sacrificed their lives to fight to the death, they could not resist it at all, and finally lost! ”

Xiao Zhanle was taken aback when he heard that there was a cannon that was much more powerful than the giant python cannon, and he frowned and muttered: "If the Ming people have this kind of cannon, it will be difficult for us to hold Changchun Prefecture!" Then he looked at Lou Fu, frowned, and said, "I ordered you to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to aid Lekang, why do you look like you have won a battle?" ”

Xiao Lou hurriedly said: "The last general met General Xiao Zhanle on the way, and at this moment, the enemy Xuanjia Army also arrived. The last general had no choice but to fight with him, but ......" Xiao Lou said this, his face involuntarily showed a look of fear, "Those Xuanjia soldiers are simply not people, they are clearly devils!" Three thousand war horses rolled in like a black cloud, our army couldn't resist it at all, and it collapsed in a blink of an eye! The last general almost died at the hands of that enemy general! ”

Xiao Lou Room frowned and said, "You encountered the Xuanjia Army that occupied the Jin Kingdom, and it was reasonable to be defeated. After a pause, he asked the two, "How much did you lose and how many soldiers and horses did you bring back?" ”

The two looked at each other, and Xiao Zhanle said bitterly: "The subordinates only brought back more than 1,000 people, and there are only two or three thousand people left under General Xiao Loufu's command." ”

Xiao Lou's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head and pondered.

Lou annoyed: "Marshal, the Ming army's combat power is too strong, and there are unparalleled sharp weapons, our current strength is simply not enough to fight them!" You should send someone to your majesty for help! Xiao Zhanle nodded.

Xiao Lou said with a wry smile: "Asking for help? Where is there a surplus army in the country to support us now! He glanced at the two of them and said, "I just received the news that the Ming Army on the South Road has broken through the blockade of Sa Liyu Dashuai and surrounded Liaoxi Prefecture." You should know that Liaoxi Prefecture is the gateway to the west of Tokyo, and once it is captured, the gateway to the west of Tokyo will be wide open. Now almost all the soldiers and horses have been transferred to support Liaoxi Prefecture, and there are no soldiers and horses to support us. We can only rely on ourselves to defend Changchun Prefecture. ”

Xiao Loufu and Xiao Zhanle looked at each other, both looking heavy.

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Xiao Lou's room still did not rest, sitting behind the bookcase, looking at the map, his brows furrowed tightly.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the otherwise silent night. Lou Room raised his head, slightly worried in his heart, and shouted, "Someone! ”

When even one of his own soldiers came in quickly, he bowed down and asked, "What do you command?" ”

Xiao Lou stood up and asked, "Why is there so much noise outside?" ”

The pro-soldier said: "Some of the routs fled back just now, so there was some noise. ”

"Router?" Xiao Lou's face suddenly changed, and he said urgently: "Command the four gates, without my order, the city gate must not be opened under any circumstances!" Call me Xiao Zhanle and Lou Fu! The soldiers answered and ran down.

Soon after, Xiao Zhanle and Xiao Lou led a group of men and horses to surround the group of routs that had just entered the city. Xiao Zhanle stepped forward and shouted: "I, Xiao Zhanle, which part of you are here, ask your chief to come out and speak!" ”

Hundreds of people were silent, and several of the leading officers glanced at each other. An officer immediately drew his scimitar and shouted, "Oh no! Xiao Zhanle and Xiao Lou rebelled! Catch them, everyone! As soon as he shouted, hundreds of officers and soldiers shouted.

All the Khitan officers and soldiers were stunned when they suddenly heard this, and then they saw hundreds of people waving their knives and crashing in, cutting people when they saw them, and the scene became chaotic.

The Khitan officers and soldiers couldn't tell who the enemy was at all, they only felt as if they were surrounded by enemies, and when they saw the chaos around them, they also waved their scimitars indiscriminately! The scene was a mess, and the Khitan soldiers fell in a pool of blood! Xiao Lou saw that the situation seemed to be out of control, so he hurriedly went to report to Xiao Lou's room.

Xiao Lou's room heard the chaotic fighting in the city, and was suspicious, and at this time received a report from Xiao Lou's annoyance, only to feel that it was very bad, and the situation was probably out of control!

And at this moment, the earth-shattering sound of war drums and shouts suddenly came from outside the city. Lou Room was startled, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh no! The enemy army is attacking the city! At this moment, an officer stumbled over and said in a panic: "Oh no, the enemy's army is storming the city, and we are about to lose sight!" Xiao Lou was very anxious and wanted to transfer the soldiers and horses in the city to guard the city wall, but the city was already in chaos, where could it be transferred.

Another officer rushed over in a frenzy, shouting in fear: "The west gate has been breached, and the enemy has entered the city!" Xiao Lou was shocked, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the west city gate, only to see the fire burning in the sky, and the rumbling sound was constantly coming. Xiao Lou frowned, and said categorically: "This city is no longer defensible, retreat immediately!" Xiao Lou replied in annoyance and ran down. Xiao Lou gave an order to one of the officers beside him: "Do as planned!" The officer said yes and ran down.

The Ming army poured into the city from the west gate, where could the Khitan army, which had been in turmoil, still be able to defend it, and the army was defeated and fled to the east city. At this moment, fires erupted in many places in the city, and in the blink of an eye, the flames spread rapidly into a prairie fire! The Ming army, which had already entered the city, hurriedly withdrew, but many Khitan soldiers who had not had time to flee fell into the sea of fire, only to hear a terrible scream!

……

Yang Peng was immediately outside the city, looking at the burning city in front of him, frowning slightly. At this time, the armies that had already entered the city were hurriedly withdrawing from the city.

The general Zhan Jin Guoce rode in front of Yang Peng, hugged his fists and said: "Big brother, the enemy saw that the city could not be defended, so he set it on fire!" ”

Yang Peng asked, "Are there any of us trapped in the city?" ”

Zhan Jinguo shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be." ”

Yang Peng looked at the city that had become a huge furnace, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lou is worthy of being a famous general of the Liao State, although he was defeated, he was defeated but not chaotic, and made the most correct choice!" If it were me, I wouldn't have done any better than him! Zhan Jinguo couldn't help but nodded.

Yang Peng said: "Pass the order, set up camp outside the city, and the cavalry will pursue around the city!" Zhan Jinguo promised, turned his horse and ran down.

It is said that Xiao Lou and the others fled from Changchun Prefecture in a hurry, and set a fire in order to break off. More than 10,000 remnants of the defeated army fled straight to the east. In the wee hours of the morning, the frightened birds fled to the river.

Chuhedian is a fishing village on the north bank of the Mingtong River, with a swamp area of hundreds of miles in the north and the Mingtong River in the south, which is a throat road from Shangjing Road to Tokyo Road. More than 10,000 remnants of the defeated army fled here, and the people were sleepy and tired, so they stopped to rest and prepare to make a fire for cooking.

But at this moment, an extremely frightened exclamation came from the west: "Daming Army! The Ming Army is coming! "The soldiers of the Khitan army who had just lit a fire to boil the water were terrified when they heard this, and they didn't care whether it was true or not, they turned around and fled! The scene was in a mess, pots and pans, and armor and canes were thrown to the ground! Although Xiao Lou was a generation of famous generals, he couldn't stop it at all, and he fled to the east under the coercion of the crowd!

In an instant, a loud rumbling sound came, and tens of thousands of Ming war horsemen rushed the fleeing Khitan army like a whirlwind and clouds! The remnants of the defeated army will continue to flee for their lives, the Ming war cavalry continues to pursue, screams and exclamations come one after another, countless corpses float on the Chaotong River, and even the river water is dyed red!

Changchun Prefecture was captured, Xiao Lou's office was completely dispersed, and the north and south banks of the mixed river were greatly shaken.

Xiao Lou led a few thousand remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Huining Mansion (probably near present-day Harbin) on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and at the same time sent people to Tokyo to report the emergency, and on the other hand, sent people to the surrounding states and counties to mobilize troops to support. However, many people were sent out, but the reinforcements did not appear for a long time. And the vanguard of the Ming army has already appeared outside the city! Swords and guns are like forests, flags are surging, people are like tigers, and horses are like dragons! When the officers and men of the Khitan army saw this scene, they couldn't help but be terrified!

Because the Ming Dynasty was only a cavalry, and Huining Mansion was a rare majestic city in the northeast, the Ming Dynasty cavalry retreated several miles and set up camp after a fruitless challenge. The Khitan army on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, but the atmosphere of infinite pessimism still permeated the crowd, and everyone knew very well that the attack would begin after the Ming infantry army came up! At that time, I was afraid that I would die without a place to bury!

In the hall, two oil lamps were burning weakly, the hall was groggy, three figures were reflected on the wall, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very dull and depressing.

Xiao Zhanle spoke first: "Marshal, no reinforcements have been sent from all over the country, and I don't know what happened?" ”

Xiao Lou said angrily: "Now that Daming is strong, I'm afraid that those people want to take refuge in Daming!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lou and Xiao Zhanle's mood became even heavier. Xiao Zhanle couldn't help but say: "This is really stormy, and the building will collapse!" ”

Xiao Lou said categorically: "We were born as courtiers of the Great Liao Empire, and we are also loyal souls of the Great Liao Empire when we die!" The two of them were in a state of flux. Xiao Lou glanced at the two of them and said, "We'll defend here to the end!" The Han people have a good saying, do not ask to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month and the same day! The three of us are here to be loyal to the death, and it is not in vain! Xiao Zhanle said excitedly: "The handsome man must be loyal to the death, and the last general will never steal his life!" Xiao Lou nodded with satisfaction, and seeing that Xiao Lou was annoyed and didn't speak, he couldn't help but look at him. Xiao Lou hurriedly bowed down and said, "The last general is also willing to follow the big handsome!" ”

Xiao Lou said: "The three of us live and die together, and we will fight with the Ming people to the end in this Huining Mansion!" It is not easy for the Ming people to occupy this Huining Mansion! To let the Ming people see, our Daliao clan also has warriors who would rather die than surrender! ”

The Ming army came one after another, besieging a Huining city, and the majestic city seemed lonely. Xiao Lou thought that the Ming army would attack the city immediately, but what made Xiao Lou room feel strange was that a whole day had passed, and the Ming army did not attack. Xiao Lou did not dare to slack off, and constantly patrolled the city wall.

When night fell, Xiao Lou couldn't help but be tired and walked into the city gate tower to rest. At this time, Yang Peng stood under the moon and looked at the majestic city in front of him, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Xiao Loufu led a group of sergeants up to the city gate. Seeing that Xiao Lou's personal soldiers were guarding the door, he stopped and asked, "Is the marshal inside?" The pro-soldier bowed and said, "The marshal is resting inside!" Xiao Lou was annoyed, so he left his officers and soldiers outside the door and walked in by himself.

His eyes swept around the room, and he saw Xiao Lou Room leaning back in a chair, his eyes closed, and he seemed to be asleep. Xiao Lou walked to Xiao Lou's side and whispered, "Handsome!" Xiao Lou was already asleep, so naturally there would be no response.

Xiao Lou screamed softly twice in annoyance, but Xiao Lou still didn't respond. Xiao Lou glanced at the door, walked to the back of Xiao Lou's room, held the handle of the scimitar with his right hand, and slowly pulled it out.

The cold light flashed, and Xiao Lou, who was sleeping, woke up in shock. Suddenly, when he saw Xiao Loufu standing behind him with a scimitar, he was startled and shouted, "What are you doing?" Xiao Lou was annoyed to see that Xiao Lou's room suddenly woke up, and he was also taken aback, and his heart was ruthless, and he slashed down with a knife in both hands! Turning into elbows and armpits, Xiao Lou Room couldn't react at all, and wanted to dodge, but the scimitar had already cut off Xiao Lou Room's head with a click!

The guards in Xiao Lou's room heard the movement inside and wanted to come in to check it. And Xiao Lou's subordinates, who were standing outside, suddenly pulled out their scimitars and slashed several guards at the door.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Zhenle's roar suddenly came.

Xiao Lou, who was in the room, was taken aback when he heard that Xiao Zhanle was coming, and then he was in a hurry and shouted: "Those guards have rebelled and injured the handsome, come in!" ”

Xiao Zhanle had already drawn his knife out of the sheath, and when he heard the cry of Lou Fu coming from the room, he thought that Xiao Lou Fu had arrived in time to save the big handsome, so he hurriedly ran into the room, and shouted at the same time: "How is the big handsome?" ”

At this moment, I only felt a flash of cold light next to me, and I was shocked, and I subconsciously turned my head to look, only to see Xiao Lou annoying slashing with a fierce face! Before the thought could be turned in Zhanle's mind, the other party's scimitar slashed into his chest with a click! Zhanle screamed and fell to the ground, not dead at the time, pointing at Xiao Lou and saying angrily: "You, you villain!" Xiao Lou smiled coldly and said, "You can't blame me for this!" The Han people have a saying that good birds choose trees to perch, and now the Liao State is about to end, and only a fool will die for the Liao State! I have already contacted His Majesty Daming, and His Majesty Daming promised to let me stay in Huining Mansion! Don't blame me, on one side is glory and wealth, and on the other side is broken bones, I naturally want to choose glory and wealth! ”

Xiao Lou was annoyed, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and scolded angrily: "Are you still a Khitan? You brute! ”

Xiao Lou said lightly: "We Khitan people have long been the courtiers of the Ming Emperor, and the eldest princess of the year is now the favorite concubine of the Ming Dynasty!" I defected to Daming, but I abandoned the darkness and turned to the light! But you people, for your own selfish interests, do not care about the future of our Khitan clan, and you have to be enemies of the Ming Dynasty! So it's you guys who really damn it! What I'm doing today is nothing but doing the right thing for heaven! So saying, he raised his scimitar and slashed down, and saw a great head roll to the ground.

Xiao Loufu immediately left the city gate tower with the heads of the two people, gathered the whole army, and raised his voice: "Heavenly Dao cycle, if you want the Ming Dynasty to dominate the world today, if we disobey the will of heaven, there is only one way to die!" The morale of the officers and soldiers was already low, and when they heard such words, the morale of the army was even more turbulent. Xiao Lou annoyed and raised the two heads, "Look! The marshal Xiao Lou and General Xiao Zhanle who disobeyed the will of heaven are dead, we don't have to fight anymore, let's go with me to join Daming! Everybody's going to live! The soldiers looked at each other and cheered. For them, it is naturally better to be able to not die! As for the grief caused by the death of Dashuai and General Xiao Zhanle, it was also covered up by the joy of being immortal!

Soon after, the city gates were opened, and Xiao Loufu led thousands of remnants of the defeated army out of the city and surrendered. Hoeryeong went down without a fight.

The people of Huining Mansion couldn't help but panic when they saw the Ming army entering the city. However, when they saw that the Ming army was disciplined and the people had no offense, and the Ming side announced that all landless civilians could unconditionally get the land allocated by the Ming court, the panic immediately turned into joy, and many people simply wished that the Ming army could come as soon as possible.

Huining Mansion went down without a fight, and the surrounding states and counties and Meng'an saw that the general trend of the Liao State had gone, and they announced that they would return to the Ming Dynasty, and privately made the double-winged flying tiger flag of the Ming Dynasty and hung it high in the city. Almost overnight, both sides of the Mingtong River became the territory of the Ming Dynasty. However, there are also ministers who are loyal to the Liao State who would rather die than surrender, such as Tunhe Meng'an.

This Tunhe Meng'an, located in the northeast of Huining Province about 500 miles, on the north bank of the Mingtong River (is now the Songhua River), is the junction of the Tunhe River in the north into the Mingtong River, so it is called Tunhe Meng'an, and the strategic position is very important. There are 20,000 households here, mainly Khitans, and there are 20,000 soldiers and horses according to the calculation of one soldier per household. The guard of Tunhe Meng'an was named Zong Gan, and he was loyal to the Liao State. When Xiao Lou's room retreated to Huining Mansion, the situation was critical, Zong Gan did not hesitate to lead all the 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command to help. However, the soldiers came halfway to the bad news, Da Lazy rebelled, killed Xiao Lou Room and Xiao Zhanle, and surrendered the city to the Ming Dynasty. Zong Gan angrily scolded Da Lazy in grief, and then in view of the current situation, he could only lead his soldiers and horses to retreat to Tunhe Meng'an. As soon as he returned to Tunhe, he immediately ordered the army and civilians to strengthen the city wall and prepare to defend the city. When the news of the surrender of the Ming Dynasty came from all over the country, Zonggan was unmoved, just ready to fight.

After Yang Peng's soldiers occupied Huining Mansion without bloodshed, he left 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard Huining Mansion, and ordered the Liao officers and soldiers who surrendered to Shun to besiege Tunhe, while he himself led the main army all the way south. At this time, the whole territory of the Liao State was already terrified, and there were no soldiers and horses in various places, and the people, suffering from the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of Yehu Hugo, not only did not respond to the call of the nobles to go to the city to defend the city, but also took the opportunity to attack the rich nobles and loot their property. There was chaos everywhere. The Ming army was like a bamboo, and within ten days, nearly 100 cities were taken in succession, and they entered the city of Xianpingfu.

Guarding Xianping Mansion was Xiao Sali, a famous general of the Liao State. There is a huge Xianping Mansion, but there are less than 10,000 defenders. When the soldiers and civilians in the city heard that the Ming army was rolling in from the north, they were terrified, and the whole city was in an uproar. Xiao Sali was worried that he would be infiltrated into the city, so he ordered the four gates to be closed as early as the alarm came. However, the people of the city, especially the nobles, wanted to flee from the city, and crowded the city gates to quarrel with the officers and soldiers guarding the gates.

Xiao Sa saw that the situation was about to get out of control, and immediately stabbed a nobleman who took the lead in making trouble. The chaotic situation immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at Sa Liyu with a bloody steel knife on their faces.

An old nobleman pointed at Xiao Sali and shouted, angry and frightened: "You, you dare to kill my son!" ”

Xiao Sali said coldly: "At the moment of the great enemy, anyone who dares to disobey the military order is a rebellion, and there is no mercy for killing!" Everybody go back to their homes! In the face of the murderous Sali drink, what else did they dare to say, and naturally they dispersed one after another.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
