Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 600 Heavy casualties
After waiting for two days, the wind and waves subsided a little. At this time, the [-] rafts had been inflated. The rafts were made of inflated sheepskin. There were one-person, two-person and four-person rafts. Most of them are two-person rafts, which cannot carry horses and can only paddle forward.

The first batch of troops to rush to the island has been assembled. There are about [-] soldiers, all of whom are Han troops. Of course, this dangerous charge is completed by the Han army.

Xiao Weixin stared at the distant island for a moment, and shouted: "Attack!"

'Boom!Boom!Boom! 'The drums sounded, and [-] soldiers rushed into the sea with rafts on their shoulders.

They jumped into the raft and began to paddle hard. For a while, the sea was covered with countless small black spots.

The Drum Tower of Juehua Temple is the tallest building on the island, and it is currently the command center of the Song Army. Miao Shunli held a telescope and looked at the sea. He and Han Wang almost fell out over the telescope, until Fan Ning promised, He will do a fight for Han Wang as soon as possible, and Han Wang then gave this treasure to Miao Shunli.

Miao Shunli looked at it for a moment, then grinned and said, "These idiots thought they could land on the island with a raft?"

He immediately ordered: "Come out ten lucky boats, and send these turtle sons to feed the Dragon King!"

'Woo——' the low-pitched horn sounded, the flag was waved, and the ten Wanshi Fu boats moored in the bay sailed out. There were 400 oars on each Fu boat, and [-] soldiers fought with bows, arrows and rockets. Mainly, the fighting power is very strong.

Thousands of rafts were dotted with black dots on the surface of the sea. They rowed to Juehua Island more than [-] miles away. The thrust was towards the shore, making it extremely difficult for the soldiers of the Liao army to row.

It took more than half an hour to row six or seven miles, and many soldiers were exhausted.

At this time, the sound of horns was faintly heard on the island, and not long after, ten huge ships appeared on the northern sea, with dozens of long paddles like the feet of centipedes, cleaving the waves and rushing towards the raft.

Many soldiers were terrified, turned around and fled to the shore, but it was too late, the first big boat rushed into the group of skin rafts, and the waves it set off immediately overturned dozens of skin rafts, causing other soldiers to shout Call.

But the real danger is not the waves, but the arrows from the head, one by one arrows are shot down like raindrops. People, and more importantly, the skin rafts were injured. The skin rafts were shot through by the arrows and quickly leaked air. The skin rafts could not bear the soldiers and began to capsize.

Ten large boats rushed into the densely packed rafts, and more and more rafts capsized. After two impacts, only [-]% of the rafts remained, floating scatteredly on the water surface, and there were calls for help everywhere on the water surface. Soldier.

A general persuaded Miao Shunli in a low voice: "It seems that the Han army is being used. Didn't Mr. Fan say that we should try our best to get the Han soldiers to surrender?"

Miao Shunli was very reluctant, but Fan Xianggong's principle could not be violated. He ordered: "The ship can rescue the enemy who fell into the water."

There was loud drumming on the island, and the flag was waved immediately. Ten large ships threw down the ladder one after another, and then several large ships came to rescue the soldiers who fell into the water.

Therefore, the soldiers had to throw away their weapons before they could be rescued onto the boat, and even many rafts that had not been overturned surrendered one after another.

The battle lasted only half an hour, and the entire [-] Han army was wiped out. More than [-] people were drowned or shot to death, and more than [-] people became prisoners of war of the Song army. Not enough people fled back to the shore. Hundreds of people.

Xiao Weixin gritted his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do
The Liaodong Peninsula is already covered with ice and snow, but the snow has only fallen once, and the snow has not accumulated very deep. In most areas, the snow only reaches the upper part of the ankle. Although the snow is not deep, the weather is cold, and people try to stay at home. Reluctant to go out.

In this ice and snow field, an army of more than [-] people is marching in line. This army is exactly the Song army who came ashore from Pingdao. They landed near Yingkou today, along the eastern edge of the Liaohe Plain, leaning against the Qianshan Mountain , marched all the way north, and went straight to Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, Liao Kingdom, two hundred miles away.

This army is led by Han Wang himself, and he has received definite information. At this time, there are only [-] warriors guarding the city of Tokyo. The warriors are the local soldiers of the Liao Kingdom. Soldiers dominate.

The Dongdong Road of the Liao State was the former Bohai State. They occupied the rich Liaohe Plain, known as the grain of the Liao State, and it was a relatively wealthy place in the Liao State. The other place where artisans are concentrated is Nanjing Road, which is the Youzhou area.

There are normally 10 troops stationed on Dongdong Road. They are not bordering on the Song Dynasty, and they are not responsible for defending the Song Dynasty. He dispatched 5 cavalry to support Nanjing Road. This time, Xiao Weixin led [-] troops to attack Juehua Island, which took the time out of Liaoyang's army.

There are only 100 brave soldiers guarding the entire city of Tokyo. It is no wonder that Xiao Weixin took his guard lightly. Over the past [-] years since the founding of the Liao Kingdom, no enemy army has ever entered the boundaries of Tokyo. Xiao Weixin never thought that the Song army would come from the sea, especially in winter, when the coast is full of ice floes, how could the ships dock?

But he forgot that everything is special. At the mouth of the Liaohe River in Yaozhou, where the fresh water content is large, the ice layer is very thick, but if you walk tens of miles westward, there is a section of coast about two miles free of ice. It's here to go ashore.

Two days later in the afternoon, [-] Song troops arrived in Tokyo City. At this time, the gate of the southern city was not closed. There were more than [-] soldiers guarding the gate, and many people who came to Beijing came and went.

At this time, a Liao army of more than a thousand men came in line from the south. They were not Khitans, but Hans. They should be Han troops. In fact, regardless of appearance, the only army in Liao that did not ride horses was the Han army.

Not long after, this thousand-strong Liao Han army arrived outside the south city gate.

Although the status of the Han army is low, it is still a little higher than the brave soldiers. They are regular soldiers, they are just miscellaneous troops guarding the courtyard, and they cannot go to the battlefield.

The head of the capital didn't dare to underestimate him, so he hurriedly ran forward, bowed and said, "According to the regulations, please submit your military badge for inspection before you can enter the city!"

Because the capital head is from the Bohai tribe, he can't speak Chinese, but speaks Khitan. The general riding on the horse obviously couldn't understand what he was saying. He suddenly threw an ingot of gold on the ground, which immediately attracted the capital's attention. past.

I saw a flash of cold light, and before everyone could react, they just heard 'click! With a sound, the head has fallen to the ground.

Immediately the chief general shouted: "Snatch the city gate!"

He galloped towards the city gate, and a thousand other soldiers rushed into the city gate after him, shouting.

This Han army of more than a thousand people was dressed up by the Song army. In fact, it was not just them. The [-] Song troops behind were all wearing Liao army uniforms. Ten thousand sets of the opponent's military uniform?

It was also this army that was disguised as the Liao army, so when they passed through the densely populated Liaohe Plain, they did not disturb the Liao people and killed them all the way.

By the time the soldiers of the brave army at the top of the city shook the suspension bridge desperately, the Song army had already killed more than [-] people in the city and was about to rush to the top of the city.

In a forest in the distance, Han Wang saw that the Liao flag on the top of the city had been cut off, and he immediately shouted, "Go into the city!"

"Kill!"

Nine thousand soldiers hiding in the woods ran out and ran towards the city of Tokyo two miles away. At this time, the city gate just closed was opened again, the suspension bridge fell, and the vanguard army had seized the city gate.

[-] Song troops entered the Liao Kingdom's empty Tokyo city, and the city was turned upside down.

Fan Ning's military discipline was very strict. He set three rules for the Song army: don't kill old people, don't kill women and children, and don't kill Han people. As for money, they mainly rob the treasury and palaces. take away.

Within two days, the palace and the treasury were looted. After the maids were driven out, the Song army burned the palace, along with the granary and the treasury.

Fierce fighting was inevitable in these two days. Many Khitan and Bohai people rushed out of their homes to fight fiercely with the Song army. There are three thousand shipwrights.

As many as 43 rich and noble families were looted, and as many as 200 nobles and officials were captured. This was Fan Ning's request. More nobles and officials were arrested and used to exchange captured civilians with Liao.

In addition, the Song Army seized more than [-] horses and thousands of sleds from Feilongyuan in Tokyo.

Two days later, 2 Song soldiers left Tokyo City with thousands of sleds and more than [-] horses full of wealth. food.

This was a major event that happened in mid-November of the first year of Xining. The city of Tokyo in the Liao Kingdom, which had not suffered a military disaster for a hundred years, was breached by the Song army, and the wealth accumulated for a hundred years was looted. There were more than [-] people, and the Song army did not follow common sense to send troops, causing Liao to suffer unprecedented losses and humiliation. The Tokyo Imperial Palace and Taimiao were actually burned down by the Song army.

It took three days for the news to reach Xiao Weixin who was still confronting the Song army in Xingcheng County. Xiao Weixin fainted on the spot and was woken up by everyone. After waking up, he burst into tears, but crying was useless. Immediately, [-] troops were left and led the army back to Tokyo City.

Apart from pleading guilty to the emperor, Xiao Weixin has no way to explain to the court.
