Chapter 691: Jin Chengying's First Battle

Without Guan Hai, and with the Yellow Turban Army already having low morale, under the shouting of [Iron Rod] Luan Tingyu and others, the five or six thousand Yellow Turban Army actually dropped their weapons, removed their armor, and knelt down to beg for surrender.

Liu Tang, Jin Bigui and Huan Qi shouted and took the Yellow Turban Army of less than 5,000 soldiers into custody. The Dubo, Tunzhang, Junhou, Yamenjiang, Qidu, Buqudu and other Sima and Duwei were taken into custody separately.

The Yellow Turban Army seemed to have accepted their fate and told Liu Tang and others everything they knew during the interrogation.

Led by two captains, Luan Tingyu and Wu Sanniang led two thousand cavalrymen and charged straight into the territory of the Yellow Turban Army, and captured the city called Yingcheng commanded by Guan Hai.

There were only about 3,000 old and weak people in the city. When they saw Guan Hai's head and the two captains, they naturally did not dare to resist and opened the gate to surrender.

In Qingcheng Palace, Zhao Zhen also received a reminder from the world.

world log
[Yellow Turban Guan Hai] Great victory on the battlefield, Liang State reputation +1, politics +1, economy +1, military +1.

Luck +300.

Luan Tingyu moved into Yingcheng and posted notices to reassure the people while sending his men on horseback to deliver the good news to Liangshan Prefecture.

Upon hearing the news of the great victory, the prefect Liu Guang took some steamed buns, wine and meat and went out of the city to reward the troops. He also asked the yamen runners to spread the news everywhere. The whole Qingzhou was jubilant because the invasion was stopped and the crops that were about to be harvested were preserved.

Let’s talk about the world of [Red Coat Army Wanyan Yong’an], the lord Wanyan Yong’an was originally a Han Chinese, named Guo Anyong, and people called him [Guo Yaoer]. He was General Li Quan, the commander of the Red Coat Army, and one of the most important generals in the Shandong Loyal Army.

This guy first surrendered to the Song Dynasty, then to Mongolia, and finally to the Jin Dynasty. He was given the surname Wanyan and changed his name to Yong'an.

Unfortunately, as a vassal state of the Jin Dynasty, they could not serve loyally. Under the harsh criticism of the Jin Dynasty, Guoanyong repeatedly jumped between Song and Mongolia. Recently, he heard that Mongolia was planning to attack him. In order to strengthen his strength, in the Red Coat Army Alliance, he heard that Yang Anguo offered a reward of a Jin Marshal token to [Zhao Zhen of Liang], so Guoanyong launched an invasion.

When they invaded, they found that there were others invading together. Looking closely, they all had yellow scarves on their heads. They knew at first sight that they were the Yellow Turban Army, and they were not enemies of the Red Turban Army. They were secretly happy in their hearts that this time, there were still people to share the enemy's burden.

Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was to the east of him, Wanyan Yongan led his troops to the southwest.

The southwest is exactly the border of Zibo Prefecture of Liang State.

Because the territory of Zibo was the last to be occupied by Liang State, in order to ensure a smooth transition, Zhao Zhen stationed nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses here, including the commander of the army [Kaishan Arhat] Bian Xiang, the military supervisors [Right-armed Bear] Haransheng, [Sword-browed Tiger] Jin Chengying, the training envoys [Green Bamboo Snake] Zhen Xianglin, [Little Overlord] Zhou Tong, Xiahou Cheng, and other heroes.

Wanyan Yong'an thought about letting the Yellow Turban Army take the lead to attract the firepower of the Liang State. Therefore, he assembled his troops but did not leave the city. He wanted to wait for five days until the Liang State and the Yellow Turban Army were in a stalemate before he prepared to launch a surprise attack on the Liang State.

At the northernmost side of Zibo, Bian Xiang and six other men had been waiting at the border for many days, thinking that the enemy would arrive soon.

Three days had passed since the enemy's arrival. The spies had gone deep into the area to investigate, and learned from several farmers who had remained in the village and had not moved into the city that this area was the world of the Red Coat Army, and the nearest city, Bo, was twenty miles away from the border.

After waiting for three days, several people had lost their patience. After discussion, they simply led their troops and charged into the territory of the Red Coats.

After all, everyone had long known about the Red Coat Army's situation from the military reports. Their weapons and armor were not sophisticated, and not all the soldiers were strong.

The army broke up the camp and rushed along the road to the city of the Red Coat Army.

When Bian Xiang and others came to kill him, Wanyan Yongan was still in the mansion drinking and having fun with his general Wang Shiwu.

The commander of this city was Wang Shiwu, and Wanyan Yongan’s main city, Ancheng, was more than 200 miles away from Bocheng.

Hearing that Liang State had dispatched more than 10,000 soldiers, Wang Shiwu shouted, "Brother, please sit still. I will go out of the city and defeat these people."

Wanyan Yongan said: "I will support my brother."

The two men led their troops to the city walls and saw that the Liang army had already set up camp three miles outside the city. Wang Shiwu looked around and said, "Brother, the armor and flags of the Liang army are no different from those of the Song army."

Wanyan Yongan said, "The ruler here is called Zhao Zhen, but I don't know why it is called Liang State." Wang Shiwu said, "Since he is a descendant of Song State, there is no need to be afraid of him."

As he spoke, Wang Shiwu led his three thousand soldiers out of the city to challenge the enemy.

Bian Xiang saw this and shouted, "I didn't come to attack the city, but this guy came to seek death."

As he said this, he ordered the soldiers to prepare their horses.

Jin Chengying, the [Sword-Eyebrowed Tiger] standing by said, "Commander, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? I will lead my troops to fight him."

Harlan Sheng, Xiahou Cheng and others also volunteered to fight.

"Since the champion has spoken first, General Jin will fight in the first battle, and General Xiahou will be the deputy general."

The two were overjoyed when they heard this and led an army out of the camp.

Both sides deployed their troops, and Jin Chengying was the first to go out: "Red Coat Bandits, how dare you invade our country?"

Wang Shiwu went out to fight, holding up a steel fork in his hand, and shouted, "There is no one in Liang State, so why would I ask a little brat like you to go out to fight? You look pretty, come back to the city with me and become a rabbit god."

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

Upon hearing this, Jin Chengying became furious. He hung the gun on the ring, took the bow in his left hand, the arrow in his right hand, drew the bow like a full moon, and shot an arrow.

Wang Shiwu was already on guard when he saw Jin Chengying taking the arrow. He grabbed a small iron shield from his saddle and used it to protect himself.

The arrow hit the shield, sparks flew everywhere. Wang Shiwu felt his left hand shake violently. Fearing that Jin Chengying would shoot more arrows, Wang Shiwu threw away the shield and rushed towards Jin Chengying with the steel fork in his hand.

When Jin Chengying saw this, he also took out his spear and rushed towards Wang Shiwu.

Jin Chengying hated Wang Shiwu's insults so much that he used all his strength and pointed his spear straight at Wang Shiwu's face.

Wang Shiwu took an arrow from Jin Chengying. He knew that Jin Chengying was very strong and did not dare to underestimate him anymore. He used his steel fork to meet the spear and the two fought together.

The flags of war covered the sun, and the murderous aura filled the sky. The two horses met, and the weapons were raised. The two generals gambled their life's skills.

Back and forth, four arms crisscrossed, eight horse hooves stirred the air.

After fighting for less than five rounds, Jin Chengying used his spear to knock the steel fork out of Wang Shiwu's hand. Without waiting for Wang Shiwu to dodge, he raised his spear again and shot it into Wang Shiwu's mouth.

When Xiahou Cheng saw this, he shouted loudly and rushed over with his troops.

The Red Jacket Army then wondered how they could defeat the elite troops of the Liang State.

As soon as they engaged, Xiahou Cheng led 500 cavalry to break through. The 500 cavalry disrupted the formation, and the Red Coat Army could not stand. When the infantry rushed in from behind, the Red Coat Army was thrown into chaos.

On the top of the city wall, Wanyan Yong'an saw that he was defeated by Wang Shiwu, so he quickly ordered the city gates to be opened to welcome the defeated soldiers back to the city.

Jin Chengying and Xiahou Cheng fought fiercely for a while, and when they saw the defeated army retreating back to the city, they escorted the prisoners, cleaned up the battlefield, and returned to the camp beating the victory drum.

The enemy general was killed in battle and the battle was won, and the morale of the Liang State became increasingly high.

Bian Xiang ordered people to record the achievements of Jin Chengying and Xiahou Cheng, and at the same time sent soldiers to report their achievements to the court.
