Grievances 20

The next day, Xiao Guanyinnu left 3,000 to defend the city, collected the weapons of the surrendered Song army, and sent people to report the victory. He also warned his subordinates that if the Song Ting army attacked, they would burn and loot the city and withdraw the army. Xiao Darin, Xiao Guanyinnu and the two worked together to turn around in front of Jizhou City before rushing to Qizhou. Where did the governor of Qizhou expect that the Liao army would dare to go deep alone, and as soon as he lay down, the Liao army attacked the city, and the Song army was pressed up by the Liao army in a hurry. Fortunately, his lieutenant general was investigating the city, and after a desperate battle, the Liao army lost hundreds of people, which stabilized, and Xiao Dalin ordered the siege to rest. Although the surrounding departments knew that Qizhou was besieged, they did not dare to come to the rescue. It turned out that the Song army was very short of horses, and even if the army was sent to help, the Liao army would not be able to defeat and leave, and it was beyond the reach of the infantry army. That night, the governor of Qizhou organized several breakouts, but they were all stopped back. The next day, Xiao Dalin and Xiao Guanyinnu led the army to attack the city. It was the moment of the fierce when the four gates suddenly opened, thousands of Song army infantry troops poured out of the city, the Liao army suddenly could not evacuate, and many people were surrounded by the Han army and closed the door to beat the dogs. Xiao Dalin withdrew all the way to camp for more than ten miles, and Xiao Dalin inspected the felt tent overnight to boost morale. After four days of fighting, Xiao Darin was testing the Song army, and when he asked the captured prisoners, there were less than 10,000 people in the city.

Xiao Darin was puzzled: "What's the matter with the thousands of Song troops rushing out of the four gates?" It turned out that this was the bluff of the governor of Qizhou, and the Song army behind the army was all dressed up by the people in the city. Xiao Guanyinnu on the side couldn't help laughing and sighed: "You can think of such a clumsy trick." The next day, Empress Xiao sent an order that Yingzhou's attack did not go well and suffered heavy casualties. ordered the two of them to capture Qizhou within three days to prepare for the south, and if they didn't succeed, they would return to the division. Xiao Darin and the two discussed, and immediately attacked the side gate left and right, and led a thousand people to disturb the front and rear city gates. Although the number of 1,000 people before and after this was small, the Song army had to guard against it. The Liao army came to harass from time to time, and the Song army scolded again. It was the crossbow and bow that shot to death the leading commander and deputy commander at the front door. The defenders of the city were overjoyed, and immediately sent 700 cavalry troops out to cover the killing, if these Liao army horses were collected into the city, the horse army could be stronger. The Liao army, which had already been on the side, suddenly cut off its waist, and Xiao Dalin, who was attacking on the left, actually led the army to attack the front door. For a while, there was chaos in front of the city. None of the 700 Song cavalry was spared, and the Liao army loaded the corpses and threw them at the city with a stone-throwing cart. For a while, the city was in chaos, and the guards were angry and screamed, almost wanting to kill themselves. Suddenly, the Song army's stone-throwing carts were overwhelming, and the Liao army's camp was in chaos again. At this time, Zhizhou came to supervise the battle, and the momentum of the Song army was shocked again. Xiao Darin frowned, and personally led the army to rush to the city gate at the moment, and Xiao Guanyinnu covered behind.

Xiao Darin's pro-army guards are as high as 2,000, and they are the best among the Khitan warriors. This shock. Although the infantry formation in front of the gate of the Song army was tight. They also ate bread, but these pro-soldiers ate faster, and they went straight into the city. The momentum of the Liao army was vigorous, Xiao Guan Yinnu ordered all the people to attack the city, the Song army soon could not hold it, and the momentum of the Song army was leaked in less than an hour, and the Liao army flocked into the city. The front gate guard would rather die than surrender, and led a group to exit the city. Xiao Guanyinnu ordered a department to go after him. After these major battles, the Liao army was quite tired, and was stationed in the city to rest. Send the people of the Song Dynasty. Some people would rather die than surrender, scolding Zhizhou, Xiao Guanyinnu waved his hand, and more than 100 people were about to be dragged to cut down, Xiao Darin blocked them and let those people go. And all the people were silent. Zhang Shaoying snorted coldly, but it was Mu Qiubai who sighed. After resting for two days, an urgent order came from Empress Xiao that he suffered heavy losses in attacking Yingzhou, and ordered him to return to the army. At the moment, Xiao Darin and the two left the army. Returned with only a personal guard. Just halfway to the way to receive the news from Empress Xiao, the Liao army has lost more than 30,000 people, and the bowl has withdrawn, so he is ordered to attack Jizhou. The next day, she met with Empress Xiao, and Empress Xiao praised him and Xiao Guanyinnu, and she finally gave an explanation to the ministers. More than 100,000 people went all the way south, along the way the Song army did not dare to stop, the Liao army first captured Jizhou on the fourth day, then captured Beizhou, rested for five days and then marched to the Daimyofu. At this time, Liao Ting came to report that the emperor of the Song Dynasty had personally conquered the army, the king of Dingzhou had divided 30,000 troops to come, and the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion had led 30,000 troops to attack. Li Jilong in the south, Shi Baoji, the second son of Shi Shouxin, was the envoy of the east and west sides, and a large number of troops were stationed along the Yellow River.

Empress Xiao immediately ordered Yelu Jianfu, the king of the Northern Courtyard, Yelu Murulu, the king of the Southern Courtyard, to be the vanguard army, the king of the Second Chamber, Yelu Wangnu, the prime minister of the Southern Mansion, Yelu Nugua, to be the middle army, Xiao Darin, and Xiao Guanyinnu to be the rear army, and each led 10,000 to attack the Daimyo's Mansion. At this time, the emperor Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng personally came to the south, and the Song generals intercepted them along the road. Although there are only 60,000 Liao soldiers, there are more than 100,000 military horses eating and drinking Lazar are on horses, day and night, the three-way army is advancing south before and after on the plain, although the Song generals who come to intercept are fighting desperately, but the inner realm is mostly foot troops, and they cannot stop Liao from coming and going freely. The Liao army did not have a short handover, but it went all the way south, and the king of the Southern Courtyard began to plunder villages and towns along the road, and the unarmed people suffered heavy casualties for a while. Zhang Shaoying followed Xiao Dalin all the way south, everything was knocked in his eyes, and his face was blue with anger. Liu Yan is often at the border, although he is used to seeing life and death, but the brutality of the Liao army is more than the number of party members, and his heart is sad and angry. Mu Qiubai said: "You can go and save them, this is your choice." ”

Zhang Shaoying was entangled in his heart, even if he didn't care about his life and death, he could no longer ignore his beloved wife. Looking at the future along the way, Zhang Shaoying gradually became numb, and although the hatred in her heart became stronger and stronger, it pressed down on her heart. The atrocities of the Liao army along the way aroused the resistance of the people of the Central Plains, and Xiao Dalin and Xiao Guanyinnu were originally used for the final attack. However, along the way, the Song army and the people began to block the road, and the people's grievances were rampant. Twenty or thirty thousand together is really crowded, and the noise is extremely noisy. Xiao Darin didn't dare to stop, more than 10,000 people swung there, if there were more and more Song people behind him, maybe 20,000 people would be drowned here. At that moment, the order was ordered to crash over, and nearly a thousand were killed and injured between Song Liao's arrows and rain, and the horses arrived in an instant. In an uproar, people and horses collided, and for a while, people turned on their backs, and between the trampling, it was miserable. Zhang Shaoying stopped several times, but Liu Yan grabbed behind him and cried: "Good Langjun, if you can't stop, you will be trampled to death." Zhang Shaoying scolded: "These brutes. In the midst of the noise, this sentence has long been drowned out.

These thousands of officers and soldiers were entangled with the people, and the horses on the periphery were all tribal troops, and they were able to work hard immediately, and one horse was blocked and immediately replaced with another. After the Liao army, nearly 10,000 Song people were killed and wounded 3,000, and some of the Liao soldiers who were stopped, the Song people were angry, biting and beating, and the Liao soldiers were so frightened that they were scared and screamed. At night, the Liao army set up a tent to rest, the Liao army's military tent is not big, three people have a tent, easy to carry immediately, it is very convenient, Xiao Dalin These senior generals have personal guards to escort the felt tent. Zhang Shaoying was silent all day long, almost vomiting blood in anger, and his eyes were round, which was very terrifying. Liu Yan was also so angry that her body trembled, and she didn't know where she was. Ji Lingshuang wanted to persuade the two, but she didn't know what to say for a while. Zhang Shaoying said angrily: "Let's go, I don't want to stay here anymore." Ji Lingshuang said: "The reason why we can be safe and sound in the army is because of the master hidden in Yanyun. As soon as we left, we were telling them that we were ready to do it, and that we wouldn't leave alive. Zhang Shaoying said angrily: "Then what are we going to do?" Ji Lingshuang said: "If we do it in the rear, Yanyun will be in chaos, and the Liao army's back road will be blocked, and it will definitely be chaos." Zhang Shaoying said: "Wouldn't that be better." Ji Lingshuang shook his head and said: "War does not belong to us, and we do not belong to war. If Song Ting has no intention of recovering Yanyun, what is the point of all this we are doing?" Zhang Shaoying said: "You can make it clear. Ji Lingshuang said: "The national strength of the Liao State is no worse than that of the Song Court, if the Song Court has no intention of recovering Yanyun, our assassination of the prefecture and county can only attract the attack of the Liao State." We are loyal to the Han people, not the surname Zhao. ”

Zhang Shaoying sighed and said, "Go on." Ji Lingshuang said: "There are many masters in the Liao Court, if the Song Court has no intention of Yan Yun, this move will definitely lose the soldiers, and in the future, the Liao Court will be even more desperate to chase after the Seven Sects of Martial Arts, and both will be defeated." Zhang Shaoying snorted: "They are all afraid of death." Ji Lingshuang shook his head and said: "This is wisdom, it's okay to do it thankless, wait, whether we do it or not depends on the development of this war." Liu Yan was puzzled: "It's too abnormal for them to go deep so alone." Ji Lingshuang said: "There is always a conspiracy behind the unusual. Zhang Shaoying said: "But I really can't stay still, these beasts." Zhang Shaoying was so angry that he convulsed and scolded. Liu Yan plunged into her arms, Zhang Shaoying hugged her tightly in her arms, and sighed: "I really can't stay still, I really want to kill all these beasts." Ji Lingshuang said: "I can't leave if I want to go now, if I really go to the Liao people, the clouds will be chaotic, and this war will be terminated." Zhang Shaoying said: "Wouldn't it be better if you didn't fight." Ji Lingshuang shook her head helplessly and said, "Then what's the use of us hiding Yanyun?" Liu Yan wiped Zhang Shaoying's tears with a handkerchief, and Zhang Shaoying sighed: "I can't stand it anymore, don't take me here in the future." Ji Lingshuang said: "This is not what you want to see, but it is the most real." People always like good things and reject bad things, which is the weakness of human nature. Zhang Shaoying thought for a moment and said: "Seeing that the Han people were killed and injured countless times under the knives and guns of Liao Pig, but we didn't save them when we saw death, what is this?" Ji Lingshuang said: "This is where you need to change." Zhang Shaoying asked, "How to change?" Ji Lingshuang said: "Act in moderation and do what you can, fortunately you can't help but don't do it today, otherwise we will be widows." Liu Yan sobbed: "We shouldn't be in the war, we can't see all this, but you have to see it." Zhang Shaoying was puzzled: "Why?" Liu Yan sighed: "You feel sorry for me and Lingshuang, we all know it, but is this enough?" (to be continued......)
