The sound of weapons fighting in Yingzhou City became more and more intense. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info After a while, the city gate was knocked to the ground, and more than a thousand disheveled soldiers rushed out of it. Among them was a general in his fifties, sitting on a horse, who was being protected by a group of soldiers and rushing out of the city.

The soldiers had just left the city gate on their front feet, and more than a hundred cavalrymen rushed out of the city, each wearing red armor. The leader was a burly man, who brandished a large knife in his hand, and when he saw the general fleeing outside the city, he immediately roared, and rushed towards him with his sword.

Seeing this, those soldiers hurriedly turned around and formed a formation to resist. The man rushed into the formation, shuttling back and forth several times, and dozens of people had already died under his sword. And the general rode farther and farther on horseback. The man was in a hurry, and shouted at the top of the city wall, and immediately dozens of archers stood up.

When the soldiers in the city saw this scene, they immediately threw away their weapons and fled for their lives, throwing away their armor and weapons to the ground. The soldiers on the city wall continued to shoot sharp arrows, and the soldiers under the city fell one after another, and in less than half a pillar of incense, more than a thousand soldiers had been killed and wounded.

The old general, knowing that the tide was turning, sighed deeply, and drove his mount toward the hill. The man saw his back, gathered his bloody broadsword, led dozens of cavalry, and went to chase after him.

The old general whipped his horse as fast as he took out his bow and arrows on his horseback, firing more than a dozen arrows in succession, each of which stabbed a red-clothed soldier in the chest. The horses, without their owners, hurried to flee in all directions. But the man refused to give up, and led the rest of the soldiers to chase the general, attacking sideways with arrows as he went.

Le Yiyang looked carefully at the general under the mountain, and couldn't help but let out a loud "ah". Xiao Cuixin leaned next to Le Yiyang, heard his voice, and asked puzzledly: "Brother Le, are you okay?" Le Yiyang pointed to the old general and said, "Sister Xin, that general is Liang Hanzhang of the Jin Kingdom, and the people chasing behind him are Khitan soldiers. ”

Xiao Cuixin had never heard of this person's name, and she didn't know why this person led troops to Yingzhou, so she asked, "Who is Liang Hanzhang, and why did the Khitan soldiers chase him?"

Le Yiyang said: "Sister Xin, the young man who politely persuaded Senior Feng not to embarrass you on Wuling Mountain is the son of this old general. ”

Xiao Cuixin suddenly remembered that there was indeed a young man who came out to persuade him before.

Seeing that she had an understanding, Le Yiyang said: "As for why the Khitan soldiers chased him, it has to start from a month ago. At that time, I happened to be in the army of the Jin Kingdom, and I heard Du Chongwei and others talk about the Northern Expedition to the Khitan and the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. I didn't expect them to act so quickly. Du Chongwei originally hoped to be able to use the power of Liu Yanzuo, the assassin of Yingzhou, to accomplish this matter. However, looking at today's situation, I am afraid that the great cause of the Northern Expedition will be stranded. Speaking of this, he paused, raised his head to look at the sky, and said with a sigh: "The so-called plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky." No matter how thorough the plan is, as long as there is a slight negligence, it will be a failure. ”

Xiao Cuixin opened her mouth in surprise after hearing this, and muttered, "I don't know which link went wrong?" After speaking, he glanced down the mountain, and his voice suddenly changed, and said, "Brother Le, look at that old general, he was shot." ”

Le Yiyang also looked down the hill, only to see that Liang Hanzhang had been hit by several arrows on his back and was already prostrate on the horse's back, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on riding the horse forward. Those Khitan soldiers refused to give up, and shot more than ten arrows at him when he sat down and got off his horse. Liang Hanzhang's mount was a high-grade war horse made in Jizhou, although blood was spilled on the ground after being hit by an arrow, he still insisted on running for half a mile, and finally could not support it, fell heavily to the ground, and died motionless.

Liang Hanzhang fell off the horse, and his chest injury was not light, and he could barely speak. He looked at the mount on the ground, went over and stroked its fur in grief, and slowly closed its open eyes.

At this time, the Khitan cavalry had already pursued. The man in the lead raised his knife and said contemptuously: "General Liang, you have traveled long distances to attack Yingzhou, but you ended up with the annihilation of the whole army, and even lost your beloved horse, have you ever regretted it?"

Liang Hanzhang ignored him, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Cha Muhe, don't be complacent too early, my Jin army will be here soon, and you will regret it then." ”

That man was Yelu Ruan's subordinate Chamuhe. That day, Yelu Ruan did not find Yu Hengzi and others in the Sky Villa, so he rushed back to the Khitan camp in Mozhou overnight. Yelu Deguang remembered the merits of the past attack on the Jin State by several of them, and did not blame them for the defeat of Hengzhou, and still appointed Yelu Ruan as the commander of the front battalion, and Cha Muhe and Xiao Yejin as the left and right deputy generals, and jointly went to Yingzhou to ambush the Jin army lured by Liu Yanzuo's design.

Liang Hanzhang's 5,000 men, as the vanguard of the Jin army, arrived in Yingzhou half a day ahead of the main force led by Du Chongwei. Liu Yanzuo really opened the city gate and personally went out of the city to welcome the arrival of Liang Hanzhang's army. Liang Hanzhang entered the city and saw that the residents of the city were closed the city gates, and immediately found that there was something strange in it. He asked Liu Yanzuo about this. Liu Yanzuo was full of rhetoric, only saying that the people in the city were afraid of the Jin soldiers, so they all hid in the house and did not dare not come.

Liang Hanzhang felt faintly bad in his heart, and hurriedly sent a fine work to investigate all parts of the city, only to find that there were no people in the city, and the people in the house were all soldiers dressed in red.

Those meticulous works were taken aback and returned to report to Liang Hanzhang. Liang Hanzhang was furious and hurriedly asked people to arrest Liu Yanzuo, but found that he had already disappeared without a trace.

Liang Hanzhang knew the plan, and hurriedly ordered someone to send a signal to the Jin army more than ten miles outside the city. Unexpectedly, as soon as the signal was issued, a violent cannon sound was heard in the city, and then all the doors of the city were opened at the same time, and thousands of Khitan soldiers dressed in red rushed out from inside. Liang Hanzhang immediately ordered the troops to retreat, but received a report that the city gate had been closed.

Liang Hanzhang took the lead and led the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom to kill in the direction of the city gate. The crowd wasted all their strength before pushing the city gate to the ground. This is the Jin State soldiers have been killed and wounded more than 3,000 people, and the remaining more than 1,000 people are protecting Liang Hanzhang and fighting and retreating.

At this time, the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom were either killed or captured, and as Chamuhe said, the entire army had been wiped out.

Cha Muhe was triumphant, pointed to the southwest and said, "Liang Hanzhang, your reinforcements themselves are difficult to protect, and no one will come to save you again." ”

Liang Hanzhang was shocked and asked, "What did you say?"

Chamuhe laughed and said: "At the moment when you gave the signal, my Khitan front battalion army had already been killed under Du Chongwei's tent, and the rear battalion army had already intercepted your retreat. This time not only will your entire army be wiped out, but I am afraid that the entire Northern Expedition army of the Jin Kingdom will die without a place to be buried!" )
