With the second heavy snow falling in Kaifeng City, the second year of Shao Sheng finally came.

"Battle of the River! I'm afraid it's already started! ”

Looking at the snowflakes outside the window, Fan Zheng's thoughts fluttered, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of Qingtang in the west.

According to the plan of the court, around the winter solstice, when the heavy snow comes, it is the time when the Song army attacks Qingtang and attacks the land of Hehuang.

Fan Zheng had already ordered the military weapons supervisor to transport the cotton armor needed for the surprise attack and the materials for winter combat to Xihe City, and now Chong Pu and Yao Xiong have now invaded the land of Hehuang.

However, Kaifeng and Qingtang are thousands of miles apart, and there is heavy snow in the middle, so if you want to send specific military information, I am afraid you can only wait until the end of the year.

……………………

In the six states of the Xihe River, on the banks of the Yellow River, the Song army gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses.

"General! The Yellow River is frozen thick enough to withstand people crossing the river! Deputy General Yao Xiong looked at the Yellow River, looked at the thick ice under his feet, and said with a hint of joy.

The Yellow River in Qingtang is a natural danger, the water flow is urgent, the ordinary crossing of the river needs to build a bridge, and it is easy to be attacked by the enemy half-crossing, but it is not without shortcomings, and when it comes to winter, the Yellow River will be covered with thick ice, and the Yellow River will be smooth at this moment.

Chong Pu laughed and said: "Fan Taicheng's evil side has never been defeated, and without the Yellow River, our army will win this battle." ”

Yao Xiong was also excited, the kidnapping horse he trained was Fan Zheng's evil formula, and he was naturally extremely convinced of Fan Zheng's evil prescription.

"However, there are many soldiers who complain about the winter expedition, after all, the land of Qingtang is very cold in winter, and it is a taboo for soldiers to go out in the snow." Yao Xiong suddenly frowned.

The northwest land is bitterly cold, and the Great Song Dynasty has defeated the Western Xia several times because of the severe cold weather, so that the Western Xia can be defeated without a fight, and whenever it is winter, almost both sides will stop fighting and stop fighting, which is already a tacit understanding between Song and Xia.

Now the Song army suddenly sent troops in winter, making the soldiers brave the cold to fight.

"Complaining?" Chong Pu sneered and said, "Could it be that when the enemy invades in winter, won't we and other soldiers face the battle?" ”

"But our army has never had experience in snow battles!" Yao Xiong smiled bitterly.

Chong Pu said solemnly: "Our army doesn't have it, does the Qingtang army have it, Qingtang is vast and sparsely populated, coupled with the heavy snow, there is no time to rescue, plus, our army has cotton armor to protect the body, enough to deal with the cold, our army will win this battle." Summoned the armies, asking them if they wanted to be defeated and bloodied in the summer or to be frozen in the winter. ”

With Chong Pu's order, Chong Pu's question soon spread to 20,000 soldiers and horses.

"I'm willing to win in the winter!"

Soon there was a response from the rear of the army.

The Song army was already a little weaker, and there was no great chance of winning in a frontal battle, and there were also cotton armor and other cold things on the winter march, which could not only keep warm, but also have good protection capabilities, which were enough to adapt to winter operations.

Chong Pu was shocked when he saw Song Junjun's heart, and immediately waved his big hand and said: "The whole army crosses the river!" ”

At that moment, with the order of Chongpu, 20,000 horses immediately crossed the Yellow River and went straight to the valley of the river.

"Pass the order, put on the shackles, march at full speed, and go straight to Longzhu Black City."

Stepping on the land of Qingtang, Chongpu immediately ordered.

The army received the order, immediately scouted first, used clairvoyance to open the way, tried to avoid the large tribes of Qingtang, and went straight to Longzhu Heicheng, a heavy city in Qingtang.

When the Song army suddenly approached Longzhu Heicheng, Qingtang didn't react at all.

"Yes! Song Jun! The Qingtang guards felt cold in their hearts, and looked at the overwhelming Song army in the snow outside the city with a shocked expression.

They never thought that the Song army would suddenly appear and attack Qingtang in winter.

"The Song people are treacherous, sneak attack Qingtang, quickly blow the horn and defend the city with all their might!" The guards reacted immediately and sounded the horn of the enemy attack as soon as possible.

"It's late!"

Chong Pu sneered.

Longzhu Heicheng is the city that the Song army is determined to win, and with Longzhu Heicheng, the Song army has a foothold to attack Qingtang.

"Siege!"

At the moment, Chong Pu waved his hand.

The 20,000 Song troops were like a tide, rushing straight to Longzhu Heicheng.

The Song army took the lead in the surprise attack, coupled with the advantage of numbers, not to mention that Longzhu Heicheng was just a small city.

"The city is broken!"

Song Jun cheered! At that moment, in one go, they attacked the city.

"The evil doctor Fan is the evil and the evil side has never been defeated." Chong Pu breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Qingtang defenders had been prepared, the Song army would have to pay several times the price, and I am afraid that the victory or defeat would be unpredictable, and now it is easy to break through Longzhu Heicheng.

Longzhu Heicheng was forced, and the Qingtang guards were in danger, and immediately took their cronies and began to break through.

The Song army suddenly treacherously attacked Qingtang, and the only thing he could atone for was to report the news to the king Ali Gu as soon as possible.

As the Song army entered the city and the defenders fled, the resistance of Longzhu Heicheng became weaker and weaker, and the defenders of Qingtang laid down their arms and surrendered.

"The last general is incompetent, let the Qingtang guard escape!" Chong Pu had just entered Longzhu Black City, and Yao Xiong, who was covered in blood, came in to ask for sin.

Yao Xiong was in charge of intercepting the fleeing Qingtang defenders, and although he inflicted heavy losses on the fleeing Qingtang defenders, he allowed the Qingtang defenders to escape.

"It's okay, we have already conquered Longzhu Black City, the purpose of the surprise attack has been achieved, and it is impossible to hide the army anymore." Chongpu waved his hand.

There is only one chance for a surprise attack, and now that the Song army has a foothold, it can use the fighters scattered in Qingtang in winter to break them all.

"You and I set off immediately, divided our troops to sweep the Qingtang tribes on both sides of the Huangshui, and finally combined our troops to attack Qingtang City." Chong Pu said solemnly.

The Hehuang Valley is the core of Qingtang, and once the Qingtang tribes in the Hehuang Valley are broken, Qingtang's strength will be greatly damaged.

"Then what should we do with these Qingtang troops." Yao Xiong looked at the Qingtang defenders in the city and frowned.

They are alone in the depths, and they must concentrate their superior forces to sweep through all the departments of Qingtang, and Longzhu Heicheng has just been captured, and the people's hearts are unstable, and I am afraid that they will have to leave a lot of soldiers and horses to defend it.

Chong Pu's face turned sharp and said: "Dare to wave a knife at Song Jun, no one will be left!" ”

Chong Pu naturally knew that the Great Song Dynasty wanted to rule Qingtang for a long time, and Huairou's means were the most suitable, but he didn't have too many options.

He must concentrate his superior forces to attack the more powerful Qingtang City, and he does not have too many troops in Longzhu Black City, and the only thing he can do is to completely solve the threat.

Yao Xiong couldn't help but be shocked, although he understood that this move was against heaven and harmony, and there were endless troubles, but it was the only choice for the Song army to win at present.

As Yao Xiong nodded helplessly, the chief general and deputy general of the Song army reached an agreement.

Soon, the killing of Longzhu Heicheng reappeared, and all the Qingtang troops were destroyed in one fell swoop, becoming a purgatory.

The next day, Chongpu only left 2,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Longzhu Heicheng, divided his troops with Yao Xiong, and swept south across the Hehuang Valley, breaking through the Qingtang Division.

Before the Spring Festival, Chong Pu and Yao Xiong joined forces, and 18,000 soldiers and horses approached Qingtang City.

Ali was terrified.
