It is not surprising that the imperial court will send the prison army over, no matter who leads the northern expedition of more than 400,000 troops, the imperial court cannot be completely assured, so the dispatch of the prison army is also expected by Zhao Bufan, the real surprise is the candidate for the prison army, originally thought that it would be a certain big eunuch, such as the great eunuch Li Yan who took over Yang Jian's position, or the great eunuch Tan Zhi who had just become one of the privy deputy envoys, but he didn't expect it to be Cai Zhen.

Among Cai Jing's biological sons, this Cai Cheng is the same as his eldest brother Cai You, and he is also at odds with Cai Jing, but he is fundamentally different from Cai You, Cai You is purely selfish and vicious, and only wants to benefit himself, while he can't stand Cai Jing's traitorous ministers, and always wants to be a good official and revive the reputation of the Cai family, but he doesn't have the courage to resist Cai Jing and the traitors in the court, so he sways left and right in this situation, using poetry and wine to numb himself.

Although he has always been one of the six Shangshu for many years, very successful in calligraphy and poetry, and his talent was also appreciated by Emperor Zhao Ji, he was basically a puppet of Cai Jing and Cai You, and was forced to obey the two of them, and lived an extremely poor life, which was a semi-open secret in the entire court.

Now that he came to the front line as a prison soldier, and left such a sentence, Zhao Bufan naturally has a lot less trouble and no worries.

On the other hand, Zhai Xing outside Yongqing City also soon received a death order to attack, and did not dare to slack off at the moment, and immediately divided his soldiers and horses into four parts, each part into five echelons, and took turns to charge the city wall of Yongqing County, and even let the guards turn into a supervising team.

The Yongqing offensive and defensive battles have since become brutal and bloody......

The moss-covered city walls were gradually dyed dark red, the corpses of the Liao and Song soldiers were piled up, the ground was full of broken flags, and the damaged siege equipment was also scattered all over the battlefield.

No, even those murals are difficult to truly depict the battlefield at this moment, and only those who are actually standing here can feel the shock and shock deeply!

The battle is not over, wave after wave of offensive continues, and the drums and shouts of war are still deafening.

The young Wu Jie was covered in blood, he had been in the army since he was a child, and he had experienced a lot of wars in Western Xinjiang, but he had never fought such a tragic battle, when he was repelled by the Liao soldiers at the head of the city again, and was forced to transfer back to the rear to repair, he almost died at the head of the city, he looked angry, and his face stained with mud and blood droplets was also covered with gloom.

He didn't even have time to arrange for his subordinates to rest, he rushed directly to the phalanx not far away, walked quickly in front of another equally young general, and unexpectedly rushed up from behind with a hard kick.

"Qu Duan, I'll go straight to the eighteenth generation of your clan!! you fucking retreat directly without waiting for us to leave the battle, do you know how many people we lost for this?"

Qu Duan was staring intently at the battlefield in the distance, where did he expect that someone would suddenly kick him from behind, and he was kicked out almost a foot away on the spot, fortunately he had good martial arts, and he forcibly turned around before landing, otherwise he was afraid that he would make a fool of himself in front of his soldiers.

This angered him, and he asked angrily: "Wu Jie, what do you want to do, I will act according to orders and stop losses in time, what's wrong?"

"You stop the loss? You can turn your back on us if you stop the loss? We have killed dozens of soldiers in vain for this, what do you take to compensate?" Wu Jie was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and the saber on his waist snorted out of the sheath, and he wanted to give Qu Duan a knife immediately.

Fortunately, the guards behind him reacted quickly and hugged his waist.

At this time, the guards behind Qu Duan also came back to their senses, drew their swords one after another, and glared angrily, Qu Duan scolded in a deep voice: "Wu Jie, don't think I'm afraid of you, I've been putting up with it again and again in the past few days, don't bully people too much!"

"Am I bullying people too much?" Wu Jie laughed angrily, and replied in a cold voice: "Let me tell you Qu Duan, there is no such thing as you to fight, when you charge, you always pick up a good place to fight, and when you retreat, you don't care about others, you run faster than anyone else, you are a fool of others, you yourself will fight?"

Qu Duan stood tall proudly, and said without backing down: "I made the right choice at the right time, what do you know?"

"You are stubborn and self-righteous, I admit that you have some ability, but according to your fight, where do you put the robe of life and death?"

"You're not qualified to teach me a lesson!!"

"Who the fuck do you think you are, you don't apologize to my dead brother today, I ......"

For a while, the two of them became more and more arguing, and Wu Jie's and Qu Duan's subordinates were also tense, and the situation gradually became chaotic.

Zhang Jun, the young general who came not far away, knew that something was going to happen, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers beside him: "Quick, go and inform General Zhai Xing to come, these two guys have always been at odds, and no one obeys anyone, I'm afraid something will happen!"

When the words fell, he was already running towards the two of them in a hurry.

"You two don't be impulsive, talk slowly if you have something!!"

............

Zhai Xing, who was far away under the banner of the Chinese army, soon got the report, and came here in a hurry, and quickly quelled the dispute, Wu Jie and Qu Duan did not escape the responsibility, and each was recorded with a hundred military sticks, but because the fierce battle was in full swing, it was not executed immediately, and it was temporarily recorded in the book, and the two were punished together after the war, and the two of them were quickly separated, Wu Jie led the troops to switch positions with other soldiers and horses, and no longer fought with Qu Duan.

But Zhai Xing never expected that this dispute was just the beginning.

The unprecedented vicious war made the contradictions within the soldiers of the Western Army break out rapidly, and all kinds of inferior characteristics have also quickly come to the fore, although their actual combat strength is not bad, but there are really many internal problems, and more importantly, they are afraid of the Liao people from the bottom of their hearts, because they all feel that the Great Song Dynasty has not been able to succeed in the Northern Expedition for more than 160 years, and it is completely normal to lose now.

This kind of thinking added to the fear and pressure in their hearts, coupled with the psychological impact brought about by this vicious battle, which made these soldiers of the Western Army who had been fighting for many years become irritable, easy to get angry for no reason, and all of them were like artillery battles, just one point, plus when Tong Guan was in charge of the Western Army, he brought them a lot of bad atmosphere, and there were many internal contradictions in his own body, so the morale of the army soon became unstable, and the morale also fell rapidly.

Zhai Xing felt this change, but he didn't know how to change, and he didn't think that the Northern Expedition could really be completed, so after the siege lasted for a day and a night, he sent someone to report to the rear camp again.

That morning, Zhao Bufan had just opened his eyes when he received a report from Zhai Xing.

What army is unstable, demoralized, unfit to fight again, and generals are arguing......

At this moment, Zhao Bufan's mind was broken, he was so angry that he almost wanted to cut off the messenger who read this, but fortunately, reason allowed him to suppress this meaningless anger, and after careful consideration, he made a very helpless choice, leaving the camp side to Shi Wengong and Wen Huanzhang and others for the time being, while he took Hao Siwen, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng and a thousand guards battalion soldiers to Yongqing quickly.

When he arrived at the battlefield, Zhao Bufan deliberately patrolled around the periphery, and almost spurted blood out of anger.

Where is this elite Western Army, the spirit is sluggish, the offensive is weak, it looks like the martial arts are good, and the actual combat experience is also very rich, but when it comes together, it is very weak, it is completely like a tiger gathered in a bunch, and it is not as threatening as a group of wolves.

What made him most depressed was that during the inspection, he saw many generals standing outside the city in anger and yelling.

"Rush me!!"

"Give Lao Tzu a !!

"Whoever dares to be afraid, I cut him !!"

After a while, he couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed to the flag of the Chinese army in a hurry, shook his cloak fiercely, jumped off the horse, and before Zhai Xing could react, he had already rushed up and grabbed his heart armor, glared angrily and asked, "That's how your Western Army fought in Western Xia??"

"Lord Wang, ...... you are"

Zhai Xing was stunned, and his old face was full of puzzlement.

Zhao Bufan took a deep breath, calmed the anger in his heart, loosened his heart armor, and pointed to the besieging soldiers and horses in the distance and asked: "Is this how your Western Army attacked the city in Western Xinjiang? This state? This kind of cooperation? This kind of morale? The generals just stand under the city and shout slogans?"

"No, no, no!"

Zhai Xing shook his head again and again, and understood in his heart what he was asking, and sighed with a sad face: "Lord Wang, it wasn't like this when they fought Western Xia, but they were a little afraid when they faced the Liao people, coupled with various complicated reasons, which caused them to be unable to raise their fighting spirit, and the last general also tried his best, and personally rushed a few battles, but they didn't boost their morale, and now the battle lasted for a day and a night, they were already tired, and their will was even weaker, they really tried their best!"

"Did your best?"

Zhao Bufan's lips trembled with anger, and he looked at Zhai Xing deeply: "Do you also think that it is impossible for us to succeed in this Northern Expedition? We can fight whatever we want? Do you think that I will go back to repay my merits after winning a few battles? I think it is still the same as Tong Guan's style before?"

"The last general will not dare!" Zhai Xing hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Although he replied simply, Zhao Bufan had already understood the four words of his answer, looked at him deeply, and said angrily in a deep voice: "Okay! Very good! You have shown me a great army, the famous Western Army is really worthy of its reputation, fighting those thieves are heroes, pinching soft persimmons is the first in the world, and fighting the Liao people is actually like this! Okay, I will let you see today how the Northern Army I brought out beat the Liao people, and teach you what the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are!"

When the words fell, Zhao Bufan pointed to the battlefield in the east and shouted angrily: "You immediately transfer the few western armies that can be fought to the east city for me, I will personally lead them to attack the city, I will only give you half an hour to dispatch!"

"How can the prince personally wade into danger!" Zhai Xing was shocked.

"It's an order!!"
