Chapter 659: Attack on Yizhou 2

Liu Yujing rushed all the way, Guiyi County to Yizhou is only more than 100 miles, seeing that the sky is white, Yizhou City is in front of him, Liu Yujing breathed a sigh of relief, the army went to the city to call the city, the city suddenly fired a thousand arrows, with the sound of a series of cannons, two ambushes came out, and at the same time the city gate was opened, Yang Zhi led five hundred horsemen from the city to kill.

The Liao army was caught off guard, more than 300 people were shot dead, and the rest of the people had long lost their combat effectiveness, Liu Yujing could only lead more than 200 dead soldiers to fight a bloody battle with the Song army; Liu Yujing put his horse and went straight to Yang Zhi, and several horsemen behind him were connected end to end, like a whirlwind. Who would have thought that Yang Zhi's sword flickered, and cut off Liu Yujing's horse's head with a knife, Liu Yujing took off in time, and the more than a dozen horsemen led by Wang Gang behind Yang Zhi immediately threw javelins and immediately shot the Liao cavalry who were advancing one by one.

When Liu Yujing landed, a white light flashed in front of him, his throat was cold, and then he felt his body fall to the ground weakly, and as the distance widened, he finally saw the dragon bird knife without a trace of blood; with Liu Yujing killed, the battle had lost its meaning, and most of the Liao cavalry surrendered except for more than 50 people who died in battle.

It turned out that after Gongsun Sheng entered the city, he learned that Guo Yaoshi had sent Zhen Wuchen to bring people to garrison Yizhou, and immediately contacted Zhang San and his original henchmen, Gongsun Sheng's people were just ordinary people who inquired about the news, but Zhang San's friend Zhao Gongchang was an officer in Yizhou; Zhao Gongchang heard that Zhang San was going to arrive at night, and Yugong Sun Sheng decided to change shifts to guard the east gate that night, and Shi Qian pretended to be Zhao Gongchang's cousin to follow behind.

After the messenger fast horse sent by Liu Yujing was caught by Zhang San, Zhang San interrogated it clearly, so he asked Yang Lin, the golden leopard, to pretend to be a fast horse to go to Yizhou to check the movement, and he took people and horses to pretend to be Liu Yujing's Xi army. Yang Lin and Shi Qian looked at each other, Zhao Gongchang checked the tiger talisman in public, sent someone to report to Zhen Wuchen, and was allowed to open the city gate; less than an hour later, when Zhang San arrived, Yang Lin shouted to the city, no one doubted, Zhao Gongchang ordered the city gate to be opened, and Zhang Sanli should join forces to take the city gate.

Zhen Wuchen was unwilling to come to Yizhou, and brought only 500 people and 100 cavalry, and when he heard that the city of Yizhou was broken, he fled directly with 100 horsemen out of the west gate, and did not even resist;

Yang Zhi collected his troops and returned to the city, and all the dissatisfied troops and the Liao army in Yizhou were all incorporated into the Song army as long as they wanted, and posted a notice on the city gate street of Song Huizong's An Min list, and sent people to report to the planter. Zhang San was well-known in Yizhou, and was appointed by Yang Zhi as the acting commander, plus the people of Zhongzhou Hall, Yang Zhi quickly expanded the number of 1,000 people to supplement the army to assist in the defense of the city; all the catapults and other defensive tools in the treasury of Yizhou began to be transported to the city tower.

Zhao Heshou had 5,000 men under his command, 3,000 of whom were natives of Yizhou, and when they learned that Yizhou was lost, all of them lost their fighting spirit and demanded to be sent back to Yizhou; how could Zhao Heshou not understand the thoughts of these people, and when they arrived in Yizhou, they would regain the lost territory if they could defeat the Song army, and if they could not defeat it, they would directly surrender or flee home. Zhao Heshou thought about it for a day or decided to besiege Wei to save Zhao and attack the camp of the Canglang camp, but was killed all over the field by Han Tao's serial armor horses, Zhao Heshou himself was killed by Yue Fei, the Liao army lost more than 1,000 people, 3,000 people surrendered, and the fleeing soldiers needless to say.

The defenders of Guiyi County were leaderless, most of them fled, and the remaining more than 300 Liao troops held on for an hour, and then Lu Zhishen took the lead in attacking the city tower of Guiyi County, opened the city gate, and the Canglang battalion occupied the whole city. Yang Zhi was partial to the two cities of Yizhou and Guiyi, so that the division was in a dilemma, so he had to accept Yang Weizhong's suggestion to send troops, let Yang Weizhong and Wang Yu enter Guiyi City with him, and led 4,000 people and men and horses of the Canglang battalion to Yizhou for reinforcements.

When Youzhou heard the news, it was a mess, and Yelu Chun immediately ordered Yelu Dashi to return to the army, and ordered more than 2,000 people to the east and west of Xiao Gan, as well as the army of the north and south kings, the king of the second room, and the leather room to drag the army in Youzhou to reorganize, and recruit volunteers and brave soldiers in the people to prepare for war. Yelu Dashi couldn't help but shake his head on the way to retreat, and said to Xiao Weilira: "Yang Zhi really trained a male army, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, successively seizing Yizhou, Guiyi, and Youzhou is in danger. ”

Both of them are masters of the art of war, and they all understand that if the Song army relies on these two cities to take Zhuozhou first, then Youzhou will become a dead city, and the only external connection is Pingluan and other places that have not yet been conquered by the Jin people; Xiao Lili said with a heavy face: "There is also that hidden dragon, and now there are rumors in Youzhou, saying that the Great Song Dynasty will crown you king." ”

Yelu Dashi was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Why don't I know?"

Xiao Weili said in a deep voice: "The Song people are cunning, and they have released rumors in various places in the three prefectures of Daimyo, Hejian, and Zhending, saying that Xiao Gan and you have surrendered, respectively, the king of Xi and the king of Khitan, and Li Chuwen will stay in Youzhou, the state of origin of the Xi and Khitan people. These gossip are not to be feared, but in the details of the Daimyo's Mansion, I saw an official document sent to Bianliang, which was marked with a map signed by Tong Guan, and the Xi and Khitan kingdoms were prominently listed. ”

"Good work. Yelu Dashi praised: "The person who can be as famous as Yang Zhi is really the best among the people, such a map is more convincing than anything else, obviously all the details of the Daimyo's Mansion are in the eyes of others." I have to say that there are cowards like Liu Yanqing among the Song people, as well as characters like Yang Zhi and Qianlong. A few romantic figures, but also look at the present dynasty, the general trend of Youzhou has gone, Xiao Gan and Li Chuwen are likely to negotiate with the Great Song Dynasty with rumors, and we can't support it alone. ”

Yelu Songshan, who came to announce the order with Xiao Weili, nodded secretly, Yelu Dashi's mind was not ordinarily broad, Yelu Songshan said: "There is also a rumor in Youzhou, that Emperor Tianzuo is recovering Yunzhong, and once Yunzhong is stable, he will lead an army of 50,000 to conquer Youzhou, and all the ministers who support the emperor will be executed as traitors. If the city gate is not closed now, I am afraid that a large number of officials and people will flee, and the emperor will let the hundred officials stay in the palace and not return to the palace. ”

Yelu Dashi was stunned when he heard the words and said: "It turns out that I am still going to attack Guiyi County to try, now I see, pacifying the civil strife is the most critical, at the end of the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains, Wang Shichong and Li Yuan competed for the world, and it was the hundred officials who were locked in the palace that led to the confusion of the army, and finally in less than a year, all the cities on all sides of Luoyang were lost, and in the end Luoyang was not held. ”

Xiao Lili knew that Yelu Dashi was saying that Yelu Chun had made a mistake, and comforted: "We still have a chance, Xiao Gan returned to Youzhou, and Gu Yueshi's whereabouts are unknown, and it is likely that he went to assassinate Song Jiang." ”
