Song Dynasty

Chapter 194 Entering the City ([-])

In Liu Fu's barracks, the fierce shouts and killings after the city was broken continued to be heard.Hundreds of soldiers stood in panic on the school grounds. Some of them were about to rush into the street with their weapons in hand, while others turned around and ran away.

"The city is broken, the city is broken!" Everyone shouted loudly, with despair in their voices.

In fact, the breaking of the city had already been expected by Liu Fu.He has all the elite at hand, which has accounted for [-]% of the available soldiers of the Kong family army.After withdrawing this time, the Qichun city defenses were leaking from all sides.Coupled with the confusion of people's hearts, it would be hell if the Sizhou army didn't take this opportunity to break in.

Even so, when things came to an end, this battle-tested veteran was still pale.

In contrast, Lu Benzhong looked normal.Not only that, but there was an unconcealable smugness in his eyes.

In the past two months, the war between Qi and Huang has resumed because of him.The strong city of Qichun fell because of him, and because of him, the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people were just in his mind. This feeling of mastering everything is really comfortable!

Seeing Liu Fu panic like this, Lu Ben was contemptuous in the center, and said with a smile: "General Liu Fu, don't panic, I have everything, I will protect the lives of hundreds of children like you. However, you have to settle down the troops first. If The troops are dispersed, I'm afraid the old man won't be able to protect you when the time comes."

The meaning in Lu Benzhong's words can no longer be concealed, you Liu Fu have soldiers on hand, and in this troubled world, having soldiers is the grass head king.With this kind of military power, you, Liu Fu, can be considered a character.Otherwise, he would be an insignificant ordinary person who would kill if he said so.

Liu Fu hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, don't panic, put down your weapons and sit down. With Master Lu here, we just wait to be recruited. Don't worry, it's okay, it's okay."

With an order, hundreds of soldiers dropped their weapons at the same time and sat down neatly.

At this time, suddenly, a group of Sizhou Army soldiers poured into the yard.Not many people came, only a dozen or so people.

These Sizhou scholars were also courageous. Seeing so many people inside, they were stunned.Instead of retreating, he advanced, holding a knife and slashing and killing the bandits sitting on the ground.

The order was suddenly chaotic, and everyone shouted to get up and run for their lives.

Lu Benzhong was anxious, and rushed up: "We surrendered, don't do anything, don't do anything! Which department are you from? Killing captives indiscriminately, do you want to die?"

As soon as the words fell, a soldier kicked him to the ground and was about to stab him in the heart with a knife.

"Stop, stop, don't make mistakes!" A hand stretched out and grabbed the soldier's arm: "It's Mr. Lu, quickly help him up."

Only then did Lu Benzhong recognize the speaker as Chen Da, Chief of the Military Law Department of the Sizhou Army.

He stood up angrily: "Chen Da, what's the matter with you, how dare you be rude to this old man."

Chen Da smiled: "Misunderstanding, the soldiers don't recognize you, how offended you are." Then he shouted to Liu Fu's soldiers: "Sit down, you are already my captives. If you don't resist, you will be safe." You wait for your life."

The chaotic soldiers finally calmed down again, and all of them sat on the ground dejectedly.

Only the few corpses that were chopped down by the soldiers of the Military Law Department just now were still bleeding.

Lu Benzhong triumphantly dragged Liu Fu to Chen Da, and said: "This is General Liu Fu, the number one general under Kong Yanzhou's command. I have been persuaded by the old man, put down his weapons and wait for the envoy to deal with him."

Chen Da nodded, cupped his hands slightly, and said: "I have seen General Liu Fu, don't worry, as long as you give up resistance, you and your soldiers will be fine. As for how to deal with it in the future, everything will be decided by the military envoy."

Liu Fu sighed, "Yes."

Lu Benzhong asked again: "Chen Da, where is the military envoy? Why don't you call him to see the old man?"

These words were very rude. Chen Da looked as usual, with a slight smile on his face: "After the whole army of our army attacked, the military envoys were in the back to make arrangements and command, and they should have entered the city by now. When the battle is over, he will come." See Mr. Lu."

Lu Benzhong laughed and said, "I won Qichun for him, I don't know how Wang Shen should thank me?"

Chen Da: "Naturally there will be a big thank you, Mr. Lu, the army is in full swing, and I will lead the troops to fight, so I won't accompany you, sir, farewell!"

"You're leaving, you're leaving, who will protect the old man?" Lu Benzhong asked anxiously.

Chen Da thought for a while, pointed to a few soldiers, and said, "You, you, you, and you all stay here to guard the prisoners. In addition, stick the note from our Military Law Department on the door. Without my order, anyone Do not come in."

After finishing speaking, he said to Lu Benzhong: "Sir, you are satisfied with this arrangement."

Lu Benzhong stroking his beard: "This is just like words!"

When Chen Da led his subordinates away, Liu Fu said to Lu Benzhong with a serious face, "Master Lu, we agreed that we would stay out of the matter and not help each other. Why are we now prisoners of the Sizhou Army?"

Lu Benzhong snorted and rolled his eyes: "It's agreed that everything will be up to the old man, why are you so concerned about it? Don't worry, Wang Shen dare not not give me the old man's face. When the time comes, it will only be a matter of one sentence. I will let you leave with the troops."

Seeing that he was annoyed, Liu Fu didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only say: "Okay!" Things have come to this point, and he can only choose to trust Lu Benzhong.

……

Dark clouds billowed and flames shot up into the sky.

On the Shuixi Gate, Wang Shen climbed up the tower surrounded by Feng Changqing, Hu Yantong and others.

The tower of the West Gate had already been knocked down by catapults, leaving only a circle of broken walls.

Behind the burlap sacks filled with sand stood several bed crossbows, which had already been smashed into parts by the angry soldiers with heavy weapons.

The shouts of killing all over the city soared to the sky, and the killing intent of the Sizhou Army that had been suppressed for two months was fully released today.

He stomped his foot fiercely. The walls of Qichun City were originally paved with huge blue stones. After two months of fierce fighting, everything in the city that could be used as catapults was thrown out by the enemy with catapults. The enemy dug up, leaving only the yellow rammed earth.With this step, dust rose up.

"Straight mother thief, this bird city can be regarded as taken down by me!" After all, Wang Shen came from a famous university, and strictly speaking, he can be regarded as a scholar.Since he became the defense envoy of Huangzhou and gained status, he also speaks modestly and gently on weekdays, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

But now, my heart is occupied by boundless joy, no matter how much I care about, I blurted out a swear word.

After finishing speaking, he laughed loudly: "Haha, this kid Yue Yun really didn't disappoint me! He is a man who knows how to advance but never retreats. He is a little guy who can accurately grasp the opportunity of battle, not bad."

Yes, although the defeat of Yang Zaixing's troops earlier shocked the bandit army on Anlu's side so that they did not dare to go further east.But the enemy's strength still exists, and no one can guarantee when they will come again.The most terrible thing is that after such a long bloody battle, Qi and Huang prefectures can count on a lot of summer grain this year, and the season of starvation has arrived.Simply put, Huangzhou can no longer support so many soldiers and officials.

Wang Shen's next plan is to lead the main force in the westward expedition, and take the Jianghan Plain into his own pocket, and use it as a starting capital.Thinking of how prosperous and prosperous it will be once the future city of Wuhan becomes one's own base.

However, before going to snatch Hanyang and Anlu, Kong Yanzhou must be completely eliminated.Otherwise, the bandit army will attack themselves from front to back, and coupled with the lack of food in the army, the problem will become serious.

The Sizhou Army implements a policy of elite soldiers, and he, Wang, is also extremely generous to the soldiers.Three meals a day can be prepared vigorously, and everyone can still see oil and meat every day.Because of this, the troop consumption is extremely high.

To this day, there are still ten or so days of rations in the army, and in half a month, everyone will starve.

Although Wang Shen looked extremely calm on the surface, he was inevitably a little nervous in his heart.Although the Sizhou army is strong, it is still a standard classical Chinese army. It is impossible for the Red Army of later generations to maintain a strong fighting spirit even if it is too hungry to walk.Before the emergence of modern nation-states, all ideological work must be based on sufficient material guarantees.

Taking Qichun today, he can finally free up his hands and go west with all his strength, and the army will eat.Only to the west, that is the sea and the sky, and then it can be said to spread its wings and soar.

Just before, Lu Can sent a fast horse to report that there seemed to be something wrong with the bandit army at the north gate of Qichun.The main soldiers defending the city were suddenly emptied, and the city defense suddenly became empty.He didn't really know whether he wanted to send the main force to attack the city, so he came here to ask for orders.

After receiving the news, Wang Shen was a little puzzled.After asking the messenger for a long time, when he learned that there were only a hundred old and weak remnants left at the enemy's north gate, he cried out anxiously, and said angrily, "This Lu Ziyu is really too pedantic. Can't hold it? Empty city plan, empty city plan, that is the story in the novel, it is not accurate at all. The so-called war is a contest of strength and strength. There are only [-] bandits left, and [-] front troops are selected. There is no conspiracy to stop the city. Hurry up, give Lu Can an order and order his entire army to attack."

At this time, another news came, saying that Yue Yun had already ascended the city.

There was hardly any chance for Wang Shen to come to his senses. The same news came from other sects, saying that the troops of the bandit army had been withdrawn in large numbers, and the city walls were already in chaos. Would you like to fight?

"Fight, why don't you fight?" Wang Shen couldn't sit still any longer, and shouted sharply: "All the scouts and fast horses are sent out to me, and all the troops are ordered to attack immediately. There is no need to mobilize before the battle, and there is no need to do anything. No preparations, no reserves, all men and horses will go into battle."

It was a gamble, and he won.

The major city gates were acquired one after another, and finally the Shuixi Gate was also seized.

The troops of all armies frantically marched into the city. So far, the Battle of Qichun was finally over.

Joy, excitement, excitement, doubts...Thousands of thoughts came to my heart, which turned into a burst of loud laughter.

Looking around, the whole city is burning, and the smoke is full of flashes of soldiers' armor.

All the armies have been mixed together, there is me in you, and you in me.The officers also didn't care about cleaning up, and only led their men forward to chase and kill them bravely.

The military newspapers came like running water, in a mess, and it was impossible to analyze them.

After laughing, Wang Shencai asked: "Do you know where Kong Yanzhou is now, if you don't kill him, it will be a disaster after all?"

A military officer replied: "I am reporting to the military envoy, Kong Yanzhou is now fighting stubbornly in his camp. Don't worry, he has been surrounded by our army, and it is difficult to fly."

"Which group is besieging Kong Yanzhou, and who is in command?" Wang Shen asked.

Officer: "Reporting to the military envoy, there are troops on any route. It is General Yue Yingxiang who is commanding the battle. It has been fighting for less than half an hour."

Wang Shen: "This Yue Yun wants to grab all the credit and not leave anything to others. Why hasn't he taken it yet? How many people are left on Kong Yanzhou's side?"

"There are about a hundred people under Kong Yanzhou's command, all of whom are the most elite tooth troops. The terrain is too narrow, and General Yue Yun's fight is not smooth. There are fires everywhere, but they can't move for a while. Fighting house by house."

"This Kong Yanzhou is really tenacious!" Wang Shen nodded.

Everyone laughed and said: "It's just a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry. It's just a matter of time before we eat him. Don't worry about the military envoy. General Ying Xiang will never let you down."

Wang Shen: "Okay, I'll wait here. Send an order to Yue Yun. I will record his first victory in today's battle. After the battle, he can make up as many troops, armaments, and armor as he likes. However, if he can't Take off Kong Yanzhou's head, and all credit will be wiped out."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand: "Let's go, I'll go to Kong Yanzhou Xingyuan to have a look, I want to see the surname Kong with my own eyes and talk to him."

An officer smiled and said, "Is the military envoy going to pick up Miss Kong Er, that beautiful woman? The subordinates also want to open their eyes."

Everyone said: "I am going to see what is national beauty and heavenly fragrance, and what is heavy rain and wild geese."

Hu Yantong interrupted: "Yes, yes, we have to hurry there. If we go too late, how can the military envoy force General Yingxiang to agree to the marriage after he cut off the head of Bandit Kong? This is a big marriage that depends on the parents." The order of the matchmaker, the words of the matchmaker. If the surname Kong does not nod, the military envoy and the second Miss Kong can only be wild mandarin ducks."

He is of the same rank as Wang Shen, and Wang Junshi is very polite to him on weekdays.Therefore, Hu Yantong spoke very casually in front of Wang Shen.

He actually started joking: "It's just one bad thing. An Niang is going to be Daosi's wife, and today she captured Miss Kong Er. The so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. I don't know what the military envoy will care about in the future?"

Everyone laughed loudly: "It's really a headache!"

Wang Shen laughed angrily and said, "I won such a great victory today, you talk nonsense, and I won't take it easy on you. Don't you know what happened to the so-called marriage contract between Wang and Kong? Those who irritate and disturb Kong's army are not allowed. If you talk nonsense, Yue Yun will be troublesome if he makes a scene. You are not afraid of me!"

Hu Yantong: "The general is afraid of Mrs. An, right?"

Everyone laughed until tears came down.

While talking, suddenly, there was a flash of light in the sky.

The radiance was so great that it completely covered the flames in the city.

Then there was a thunderclap.

Almost at the same time, there was a "crash", and thick, white rain fell from the sky.
