Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 139 Entering Yanjing
Yanjing City was indeed breached, and Yelu Dashi confirmed it immediately.

When the gunpowder exploded, he commanded the enemy on the east wall, and when he heard the deafening explosion from the south wall, he rushed over immediately. scene.

He didn't say anything, he only called out to his personal guards, then rode on his horse and fled from the north city gate, even Empress Dowager Xiao and others in the palace ignored him.

When the army entered the city, the remaining Liao army fled or surrendered. Fan Zhuoyuan ordered the prisoners to be settled and the people comforted.

He had previously led the counterattack, organized an ambush, and commanded the siege. After these three feats, not only the victory over the Czech army, but even Guo Yaoshi's [-] ever-victorious army were full of admiration for him. No one dared to disobey the general's order.

Guo Yaoshi's troops broke into the city yesterday, but they were defeated by the people in the city and Xiao Qian's troops. They had enmity with the people of Yanjing City, so Fan Zhuoyuan strictly prohibited them from acting casually.

They were originally the army of the Liao Kingdom who surrendered to the Song Dynasty, their status was relatively low, and they were under the supervision of Wang Zhi's subordinates. Although they wanted to take revenge on the people in the city, they were helpless at this time.

Fan Zhuoyuan ordered people to quickly guard the treasury, as well as guard the key departments such as the palace and the government.

All the people are required to go home, and if they are homeless, they will all be under unified care.

Those who participated in the defense of the city, according to the practice of the feudal army, were usually all slaughtered, but Fan Zhuoyuan only asked that those who put down their weapons be counted as surrendered soldiers, and gathered together to guard them individually.

After presiding over all kinds of military affairs, he entered the palace with Wang Ting and Guo Yaoshi.

Empress Dowager Xiao and the officials of the Liao Kingdom were nervously waiting for the Song army to come in the hall.

Empress Dowager Xiao, whose real name is Xiao Pu Xiannv, was the wife of Emperor Yeluchun of the Northern Liao Dynasty. In fact, the Emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty was illegal.

He was elected by various ministers in Yanjing City because the original Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom disappeared after being defeated by the Jin Army.

Not long after this emperor took office, Tong Guan attacked Yanjing for the first time and was defeated by Yelu Dashi.

As a result, before Jin Guo could reply, he died of illness in June.

It was precisely because Tong Guan learned that this person died of illness that he launched the second battle against Yanjing.

Xiao Puxian respected Emperor Tianzuo's son Yeluding as emperor, and at the same time governed by herself to deal with this offensive.

Before Yang Keshi invaded Yanjing and entered the palace, Xiao Pu Xiannv, with her intelligence and calmness, first pretended to deceive that she was willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty, and at the same time secretly sent an envoy to ask Xiao Qian for help.

In the end, the defeat was reversed and the 20 Song army was defeated.

But this time when she faced Fan Zhuoyuan, the same strategy obviously didn't work.

When seeing Fan Zhuoyuan, Miss Xiao Puxian and all the officials present trembled at the same time.

She quickly bowed and said: "We are willing to rely on Da Song, and hope that the general will be kind and not tyrannical."

Wang Ting turned his head and asked, "Brother Fan, what do you think?"

Guo Yaoshi snorted coldly, "This woman looks weak, but she is actually very scheming, she must be a disaster if she stays here, she might as well kill her!"

Fan Zhuoyuan shook his head and said, "Everything is under surveillance until the Xuan Fu envoy comes to deal with it. This is beyond our authority."

With a wave of his hand, a group of soldiers came up and wiped out all the superstructures of the Liao Kingdom, guarding them all in a palace.

At this time, another army of ten thousand riders from the Liao Kingdom had chased down the other Song troops to the city of Zhuozhou. .

The general was shocked, and immediately decided to return to Yanjing.

But the subordinates came to dissuade them, saying that King Xiaoqian was definitely dead at this time, and the rest of the situation was unknown, whether Yanjing was safe, how many troops the enemy had, whether they would surround them for reinforcements, and so on.

For a while, the whole army fell into panic, and the opinions of all parties could not be unified.

The Lord General summoned many officers to discuss for a long time, and after a long delay, he finally decided to look back.

After all, with [-] riders in hand, there should be a way to escape even if he is ambushed.

So the whole army went north, but the marching speed was quite slow. On the one hand, it took a long time to chase and kill the Song army, which wasted a lot of horsepower.

But in the end they came to the Sanggan River, and the scouts sent out reported that Yanjing City had been captured, and the city was in order. The Song Army had guarded the city walls and gates, and cavalry patrolled outside.

Although one of the city walls collapsed, the Song army was ready and there was no flaw.

Seeing the scene, everyone knew that the general situation was over. They had no supplies, and it was unrealistic to storm Yanjing City. They immediately bypassed Yanjing and headed north...

Not long after they arrived at Juyongguan, they caught up with Yelu Dashi who was resting and completed the meeting.

On Tongguan's side, he met Mu Qingyan who had returned the night before the siege, and Mu Qingyan suggested that he go to the city of Yanjing together.

But Tong Guan was scared of being beaten by the Liao army, and refused to go even to death. Mu Qingyan had no choice but to return to the city of Yanjing again. After seeing Fan Zhuoyuan blowing down the city wall of Yanjing in an incredible way, he knew that the overall situation was settled. , and once again galloped his horse back to Tong Guan.

Tong Guan repeatedly confirmed the details with Mu Qingyan. Even though Mu Qingyan had a very good temper, he couldn't help but want to get angry, so Tong Guan led the remaining soldiers under his command to go north.

When he saw that the flag of the Song Army had been hoisted on Yanjing City, he burst out laughing.

"Youzhou has been restored! My long-cherished wish since the founding of the Song Dynasty has finally come true in the hands of Tong! This is an immortal achievement! Report the good news to Your Majesty immediately!"

Mu Qingyan frowned slightly, and she said: "Xuan Fushi, the one who contributed the most in this battle is that Fan Yuhou, don't forget."

Tong Guan said with a smile: "Fan Yuhou was promoted by my wise eyes, and he did not disappoint me, of course he is indispensable for rewards for meritorious deeds!
Oh, by the way, I don't know what happened to Liu Yanqing and the others. Hmph, 20 soldiers and horses faced off against [-] Liao troops, and they collapsed without firing a shot!This seat must ruthlessly read his book and pursue his responsibility! "

Mu Qingyan shook his head and said: "Xuan Fushi, the most important thing now is not to pursue responsibility, but to arrange defenses, and then continue to recover the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures to consolidate the border defense.

The Jin people lead beasts to eat people, and the alliance on the sea may not be reliable. Once the Liao Kingdom is attacked and destroyed, we are likely to meet them next, so we must make preparations as soon as possible. "

Tong Guan was surprised and said: "Fairy Mu saw the same thing as that Fan Yuhou. Do they both distrust the Jin people so much? During the alliance on the sea, I saw them rough and simple, and they valued loyalty."

Mu Qingyan said earnestly: "Xuan Fushi, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others. If you get along with others like this, how can there be any difference in getting along with each other?"

Tong Guan thought for a while, and said joyfully: "In short, since Youzhou has been recovered, it will not be difficult to attack the surrounding areas and take down the sixteen states of Youyun. Haha, then I will let Liu Yanqing and the others come over.

Anyway, Liu Yanqing also made great military exploits with me in exterminating Fang La and other traitors of the Vegetable Eating Demon Sect, so let him have another chance to make meritorious deeds. "

When Mu Qingyan heard that Tong Guan still wanted to reuse mediocre people like Liu Yanqing, his heart sank, and he rode his horse towards Yanjing City alone.

Tong Guan was very surprised, but he couldn't command Cihang Jingzhai, who had a detached position, so he asked his cronies to report to Zhuozhou.
