Water Margin people

Liangshan West Road Army.

"Report, an unknown army has been discovered in Weizhou!"

A cavalryman came quickly to report.

"Unknown army? No flag?"

Tang Bin asked with a frown. Since their army left Juyongguan, they conquered Ruzhou, Wuzhou, and Xinzhou along the way. Now Yanyun only has five states including Yuzhou, Yunzhou, Yingzhou, Huanzhou, and Shuozhou that have not yet been recovered. .

"No, those people have all kinds of armors, I can't tell which army they belong to!"

Cavalry report.

"Now that the Jin army has retreated outside the pass, the Song Dynasty troops dare not go north, and Yelu Dashi led his people to flee to Mobei. In Yanyun, only Xiao Qian's Xi army is left."

Shi Xiu frowned and said, not long ago Xiao Qian took advantage of the Jin Kingdom to attack Juyong Pass and had no time to take care of him. He gathered the Xi people in the west, established the Xi Kingdom, proclaimed himself the emperor of the Xi Kingdom, and changed the year of Yuan Tianfu.

"Xiao Qian? He only has more than ten thousand miscellaneous soldiers. How dare he go against my army?"

Teng Gan said disdainfully that Yelu Dashi took away some of the Khitan elites when he fled, and most of the rest of the Khitans followed Concubine Xiao De and defected to Zhao Ji in Jiashan. Now Xiao Qian only has miscellaneous soldiers from the Xi Kingdom around him.

"By the way, there are still a group of people!"

Zhang Qing suddenly spoke.

"Tianhu!"

Tang Bin immediately reacted. Tian Hu had defected to the Liao Kingdom since the uprising failed. Later, he joined the Liao Army to fight against the Jin Kingdom, but it was still a disastrous defeat. He later escaped into the mountains. Now the Liao Kingdom is destroyed and the Jin Kingdom is gone. This Tian Hu is afraid that he has another idea.

"I am willing to kill Tian Hu for the vanguard!"

Qiongying immediately said that he and Tian Hu had a big grudge.

"Let's go to Yuzhou first."

Tang Bin frowned and said, if it was Tian Hu, it would be a little troublesome to recover Xijing.

After the army was reorganized, they followed the Huliu River to the foot of Yuzhou City.

"The Liangshan army has arrived. They have come out of the city to surrender. Rao Er and others will not die. They will resist stubbornly. No chickens or dogs will be left behind!"

Tang Bin shouted at the city of Yuzhou.

"Tang Bin, this place is already the territory of Xi State. If you know what you are looking for, please leave as soon as possible. You and I will not interfere with the well water!"

Xiao Qian appeared on Weizhou City.

"Stubborn, prepare artillery!"

Tang Bin saw that Xiao Qian was going to fight stubbornly, so he directly asked Ling Zhen to launch the cannon.

As soon as the army on the city saw the artillery, they were immediately frightened and hid behind the city wall. They all knew how terrifying the artillery was. In the past two months of the war, the artillery had affected the situation of the battle more than once.

The artillery started bombarding directly. Although Yuzhou is the capital of the state, it is not as prosperous as the Central Plains. The population is not large, the city is small, and the city walls are not very strong. After several rounds of bombardment, pieces of bricks and stones began to fall.

"This kind of city can't stop us at all!"

Shan Yangui said with a smile.

"Tian Hu doesn't seem to be here?"

Zhang Qing frowned and looked at Weizhou City. Even if it was bombarded, the defenders on the city still did not give up and looked like they were going to defend to the death.

"Weizhou is a small city, so I'm afraid Tian Hu's army won't be able to enter. We don't care so much. We'll set up camp first. When these states are recovered, those people will naturally appear."

Tang Bin said, no matter where Tian Hu is hiding, when Yan Yun recovers them all, Tian Hu will have nowhere to hide.

The bombing did not stop until dark. Tang Bin did not order a strong attack. He used artillery to intimidate the defenders along the way, forcing the defenders to surrender. For a small city like Yuzhou, it only took two days of bombing to break the city.

At night, there were loud shouts of killing around the camp, and it seemed that thousands of troops and horses surrounded the Liangshan army.In the face of the shouts of killing, the Liangshan army stood still. They were not afraid of the strong attack of the Jin army. The mere shouts of killing around them were nothing.

"Your Majesty, what should I do if I don't get fooled?"

Tian Hu's deputy general Lu Fang said that they were actually bluffing. They only came with 5000 people. Now they surrounded the enemy's camp and waved flags and shouted bluffs. What they wanted was to keep the enemy in panic all day long, so that they could not sleep well and dare not attack.

But now the enemy showed no response to their calls. The entire military camp was quiet and there was no trace of panic. This made them at a loss and they couldn't really attack the camp.

"It's all just pretending. Keep waving the flag and shouting, and I'll keep them awake all night!"

Tian Hu looked at the quiet camp, gritted his teeth and said, he didn't believe the enemy was so heartless and really ignored the shouts of killing around him.

The shouts of killing continued, but the Liangshan camp remained unmoved.

"These people are so vain!"

Tang Bin yawned and shook his head. He was afraid that it didn't exist, but it was still very unpleasant to be woken up at night.

"How about I lead the troops out to kill for a while?"

Teng Kan said, the enemy was just shouting outside, which made him very irritated.

"No, just let them shout!"

Tang Bin shook his head and said, judging from the enemy's shouts, there are only a few thousand enemies, and they have been slow to take action. It seems that they don't have large equipment and do not have the strength to attack the camp.

In fact, these are easy to analyze. Tian Hu fled in embarrassment like the Liao Kingdom, and discarded the baggage equipment as soon as it was there. The Liao Kingdom would definitely not replenish Tian Hu with the baggage equipment.

"Sister Qiongying, don't worry. The situation outside is unknown. It's not safe to go out at this time. Tian Hu will catch you sooner or later."

Zhang Qing looked at Qiong Ying, whose face was filled with evil spirits, and whispered.

"I know!"

Qiongying nodded.

The shouting outside continued until midnight. Seeing that there was still no response from the Liangshan camp, Tian Hu directly asked his soldiers to sing a song. The songs were common folk songs in Shandong.

"It's disgusting!"

Zhang Qing felt a chill. Dongchang Mansion is close to Shandong, and the accent and customs are similar to Shandong. Now, listening to a group of guys with Hedong accents singing Shandong folk songs, it feels awkward.

"Are you going to be besieged on all sides? At least let's find some Shandong locals to sing."

Teng Kan was also speechless. He was from Huaixi, so he didn't mind listening to this song, but his Shandong soldiers couldn't stand it.

"Now that our army has won consecutive battles, its morale is at its peak. Everyone is thinking about fighting on the battlefield, making achievements, and finding a wife! It's too late to grab credit at this time. Who will be homesick?"

Shi Xiu shook his head and said, being surrounded on all sides can only work when you are desperate.

Tian Hu's army, who had been shouting all night, left with a hoarse voice, while Liangshan's army came out of camp and formed an array with angry faces. After being noisy all night, they just wanted to find an enemy and beat them up.

"The siege continues!"

Tang Bin said, "The sentry cavalry found out that Tian Hu had gone towards Guangling upstream of the Huliu River."

The artillery was pushed out, without any unnecessary nonsense, and the artillery washed the wall again. The wall of Yuzhou City, which was not tall in the first place, was already crumbling.

"The enemy has run away!"

Teng Kan suddenly shouted. On the other side of Yuzhou City, Xiao Qian had already fled westward with his army.

"Let's see where they can escape!"

Tang Bin was not in a hurry to pursue them. Their current mission was to recover Yanyun Prefecture. Yuzhou had already been captured. They needed to control the city, appease the people, and build defenses to prevent the Jin Kingdom from going south in the coming year.

As for chasing and killing, that should be done after the matter in Weizhou is over. (End of chapter)
