After Yan Zonghan was ecstatic, he took it and looked at it carefully, and looked at it for a while before putting it on the table, "You have made a great contribution!" Bounty! Career promotion to three levels! ”

The man kowtowed again and again, and then withdrew.

Wanyan Zonghan glanced at the general who had been in a good mood twice, "The truth has been revealed, there is no magic at all!" Now that the enemy is tired of defending the city, and without the help of this magical weapon, our army should attack the city tomorrow and take Lanzhou in one fell swoop! ”

The suspicion of witchcraft dissipated, and the generals under the tent also laughed, but at this moment, a message brought by the scout made Wanyan Zonghan unable to laugh at all.

"What? Xingzhou and Cizhou have fallen? How so? ”

After learning that Zhao Zhen had arrived in Wei County with nearly 200,000 horses, Wanyan Zonghan was so shocked that he couldn't say a word, and after a long time, he came back to his senses and said, "Now that Xingzhou and Cizhou have fallen, and our army is under attack, what do you think?" ”

Deputy Marshal Wanyan Yinshu can open his mouth and say, "Today, the supply of food and grass for my army has been cut off for a few days, so it shouldn't be delayed for a long time, I think that since the words of demon magic have been solved, I can lead the East Road Wanyan Zongfu to lead the army to recapture Puzhou and other places, as my army to respond!" Ordered Yan Lou's room to go east out of Jingcheng and go south to attack Xingzhou! In this way, the dilemma can be solved. ”

Wanyan Zonghan nodded, the strategy of Yinshu Ke is probably similar to his own, but in addition to the few people he said, he also planned to order Wanyan Chang, who was sitting in Zhending, to lead 20,000 elite cavalry to quickly go south from the right side, and after joining Wanyan Zongbi, they would attack Zhao Yingluo's department together.

After all arrangements were made, in order to prevent Zhao Yingluo from crossing the river to the south, Wanyan Zonghan ordered the army to dismantle the pontoon bridge and erect wood, stone and other obstacles on the south bank of the Yellow River to prevent him from landing by boat.

After everything was properly distributed, Wanyan Zonghan reorganized his army and demanded that he must capture Lanzhou on April 30.

……

Zhao Yingluo's army moved, and it took less than two days for the two or three hundred thousand troops to come to the north bank of the Yellow River, and across the bank was the city of Lanzhou.

Seeing that the pontoon bridge disappeared, Zhao Yingluo chuckled, "Wanyan Zonghan still knows how to delay our march!" It's just that without the pontoon bridge, can you stop my army? ”

Zhao Zhen asked curiously, "Could it be that the county lord has been prepared for a long time?" ”

Zhao Yingluo nodded, "Naturally! I once advised General Han to intercept while the Jin people were halfway crossing, but General Han was defeated too quickly, and this strange army was not put to use. Feng Jing! Ordered them to sail down at once. ”

Feng Jing received the order and hurried away, and half a day later, about thirty warships sailed from the upstream along the north bank of the Yellow River and docked at the shore in turn.

Each of these warships is more than ten zhang wide and more than three zhang wide, and can carry hundreds of people!

After Shen Lang, the leader of the sailors, ordered the ship to be stopped, he jumped off the boat and knelt down on one knee towards Zhao Yingluo, "County Lord!" The last will wait here for a long time. ”

Shen Lang was originally a member of Zhao Yingluo's private soldiers, and before being recruited as a private soldier, he once took a group of brothers to drive a boat on the Yellow River to beg for a living. After being recruited as a private soldier, Zhao Yingluo ordered him to form a water division and perform on the Bianhe River.

After about half a year of preparation, the scale of the naval division has reached more than 5,000 people, and the number of warships has reached 50. In order to prepare for the battle with the Jinren, Zhao Yingluo ordered Shen Lang to lead 3,000 sailors and 30 warships from the east of the canal, enter the Yellow River and wait for the opportunity to fight.

Zhao Zhen looked at these thirty huge warships, and couldn't believe how much strength he, the imperial sister, had hidden, and even had so many warships.

Zhao Yingluo glanced at the sky, the sunset had already submerged into the West Mountain, and the night was approaching, so she ordered, "Rest for one night today, cross the river tomorrow, and attack it unprepared!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

After the army rested for a while, Zhao Yingluo went straight to the ship and came to his own cabin, although the furnishings in the cabin were not gorgeous, but they were exquisite.

The bedroom and the living room were separated, and after entering his cabin to simply freshen up and wash off the dust of the day's march, Zhao Yingluo summoned Shen Lang, Zhao Zhen, Feng Jing, Wen Boyuan, Ma Guang, and Zhao Bangjie in.

"The city of Lanzhou has been held out for less than a day or two, and I will cross the river tomorrow, and His Royal Highness King Xin can go with me, but someone must stay on the north bank of the Yellow River, after all, there is still Liu Yu's army on the north bank, and I think the two generals Ma Guang and Zhao Bangjie are very suitable."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and immediately ordered, "You two lead 50,000 horses to stick to the north bank, don't make any mistakes!" ”

Ma Guang and Zhao Bangjie commanded, "Your Highness, don't worry. ”

"In addition, I want to divide the fire team and the cavalry team, land from the side and rear, and outflank Yan Zonghan's army on the left and right, so that there is Han Shizhong's army in front of Yan Zonghan, and there are men and horses on the left and right, forgive him if he wants to escape, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, what do you think?"

Zhao Zhen said convincingly, "Everything is under the orders of the county lord!" ”

"Good! The cavalry team is temporarily led by Wen Boyuan, and the fire team will work hard for you, Feng Jing! His Royal Highness King Xin can sit with me in the Chinese army and besiege Yan Zonghan. ”

……

On April 30, as soon as the eastern sky turned white, Zhao Yingluo's warship had already set off to cross the Yellow River! At this time, the defenders on the south bank also noticed the changes on the river, and when they saw that so many warships suddenly appeared, they hurriedly ordered the archers to prepare to block Zhao Yingluo's warship from approaching.

Zhao Yingluo, who was standing on the bow of the big ship, saw the enemy archers on the south bank lined up, and with a wave of his right hand, the trebuchet on the warship was activated, throwing clay mines to the south bank.

Although a small number of earth mines fell into the water, most of them accurately hit Wanyan Zonghan's army on the shore!

Pity those archers, who were about to wait for the opponent's warship to enter the firing range, a volley, but they didn't expect that before they could reach the ship, they were blown up by waves of earth mines, screaming again and again.

Seeing this, the defending generals hurriedly reorganized the archers for a counterattack, but! Zhao Yingluo's boat was far out of range, and the arrow shot was still ten zhang away from her boat when it stalled and fell into the river.

Shen Lang continued to order the trebuchet to throw the earth mines that ignited the fuse to the shore in waves!

Under the absolute disparity in strength, the defenders on the south bank suffered heavy casualties and could not organize effective resistance at all, while Zhao Yingluo's warship took advantage of the situation to accelerate towards the south bank and successfully landed.

The morale of the other was lost, and the nearly 20,000 infantry guarding the shore lost their fighting spirit and retreated to the south!

At this time, Wanyan Zonghan was ordering the army to attack the city of Lanzhou in a hurry.

Because of the lack of supplies in Lanzhou City, the combat power of Han Shizhong and Yue Fei's army was drastically weakened, and in the face of the onslaught of Yan Zonghan's army, it was gradually unable to support it.

Wanyan Zonghan watched his army finally attack the city wall, and the city gate was also broken, and laughed happily! "Kill into the city! Slaughter the city, kill all the men, and let the women be plundered by you. ”
