Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 144 The Generals of the Western Army
Fan Zhuoyuan led the army into the four fields, and widely recruited soldiers among the rural people.

In the name of the Yan people, and with the generous treatment of the Song Army, he attracted many qualified young and strong people to apply for the job.

Just when Fan Zhuoyuan was recruiting and training, Tong Guan sent [-] soldiers into Jizhou. Jizhou immediately surrendered without any resistance. In Yanshan, only a few major passes are still under the control of the Liao army.

At this time, Liu Yanqing's troops who had fled to Zhuozhou had been notified by Tong Guan, and the whole army suffered heavy losses. When they were in a state of panic, they heard that Yanjing had been conquered!

After Liu Yanqing, Yang Keshi, Xin Xingzong and others heard about it, they repeatedly questioned Tong Guan's messenger, almost suspecting that the other party had surrendered to the Liao army.

Liu Yanqing said: "You said that Yanjing has been conquered by Wang Tongzhi, Guo Yaoshi, and that Du Yuhou named Fan Zhuoyuan?!
This is absolutely impossible!Xiao Qian is so fierce, and he has [-] elite soldiers, Tong Shuai's Shengjie army and Guo Yaoshi's Changsheng army are only [-] soldiers, how could he defeat Yanjing.

Have you already surrendered to the Liao army, you straight mother thief, deliberately tricking me out of the city, so that I can be ambushed by Xiao Qian! "

Yang Keshi, Xin Xingzong, and Liu Yanqing's long-legged son Liu Guangshi stared at the courier, but the courier was not afraid of these Qiu Ba, he had always been Tong Guan's confidant, and said that the gatekeepers in front of the prime minister's door were all worth the seventh rank As an official, his status will naturally not be low.

They only asked people to bring up a wooden box and unfold it in front of everyone.

"Have you seen who this is? Miscellaneous family used Xiao Qian's head to deceive you? When did Xiao Qian become so generous?"

Liu Yanqing and the others looked at Xiao Qian's head in the wooden box with wide eyes, and watched for a quarter of an hour.

Liu Guangshi said: "Father, this is really the head of Xiao Qian, the six great kings of the Xi Clan!"

Yang Keshi and the others swallowed their saliva, remembering how the 20 people on their side were chased by this man, and most of them were chased and killed by him, with corpses strewn all over the field...

Immediately asked in disbelief: "Who beheaded Xiao Qian?"

The messenger said triumphantly: "It was the Marquis of Du Yu, Fan Zhuoyuan, who was picked up by the observer's discerning eyes and discerned the bead with his own hands!

Not only did he behead Xiao Qian, but he also seriously injured Yelu Dashi, forcing him to escape from Yanjing, where he didn't know! "

Immediately afterwards, Fan Zhuoyuan, an exuberant general, blocked Yelu Dashi and rescued Tong Guan, and then led a thousand victorious Czech army to counterattack the [-] infantry soldiers of the Liao army who were cleaning up their luggage, and wiped them out on the banks of the Sanggan River.

Immediately afterwards, with a strange plan, he led [-] cavalry to defeat Xiao Qian's [-] cavalry, and then led Xiao Qian's main force into the ambush circle.

Then use refined gunpowder to blow down the city wall of Yanjing, and finally capture the whole story of Yanjing.

Liu Yanqing and the others were stunned and looked at each other, thinking that Fan Zhuoyuan seemed to be a divine soldier who appeared out of nowhere and led Tong Guan's soldiers to fight such a brilliant battle.

The original disastrous situation was immediately reversed, and the long-cherished wish that had never been realized since the founding of the Emperor Song Dynasty was realized, and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were taken down!
Although the sixteen prefectures have not yet been fully restored, Youzhou, the most important strategic place in the Emperor Song Dynasty, has been taken, and Jizhou is empty. As long as Youzhou is won, Jizhou has no danger to defend and can only be included in the territory of the Emperor Song Dynasty. .

The rest are Yunzhou and Shuozhou, which may involve dealing with Jin people, and it may not be something that can be resolved by war.

Even so, it still has unparalleled strategic significance for Huang Song, which means that the Yanshan defense line, which has always been a knife on Huang Song's head, has now become the city wall of Huang Song's core area, and the external strategic environment is safer than before. Much more!

And in such an important battle, it is obvious that Fan Zhuoyuan, Wang Ting and Guo Yaoshi have made the most of their military exploits, and it has nothing to do with them, the generals of the Western Army!

Even because of Liangxiang's defeat, they might have to take responsibility for it, so they didn't feel the slightest bit of excitement because Yanjing was taken down, on the contrary, everyone's minds became gloomy.

The messenger put away Xiao Qian's head and said with a smile: "I still have to go south to report the good news to the officials! This is the biggest happy news since the founding of the Song Dynasty! But there is no delay!

The miscellaneous family resigned now, and the generals should follow Tong Shuai's advice as soon as possible and lead the army northward as soon as possible, and they have to win important passes such as Juyongguan and Deshengkou.

The miscellaneous family knows what you are thinking, I think that instead of thinking about how to avoid being held accountable, you should take advantage of the next opportunity to lead the army to take down many passes in Yanshan, and you can also make meritorious deeds. This is the only thing you can do! "

After finishing speaking, the messenger arched his hands and walked away proudly.

But what he said reminded the generals that there is still a way out!
Liu Yanqing sighed, and said to the soldiers: "There is no other way now. Let's make preparations first, go to Yanjing to plead guilty to Tong Shuai, and then find a way to pay for the crime and make meritorious service. As long as the battle is not over, there is hope!"

Several people nodded, Xin Xingzong sneered and said, "I'm curious what happened to that Yanman Fan Zhuoyuan. Hmph, I think his appearance is not a good thing for us and the Western Army!"

Liu Yanqing and the others also became gloomy, and there was another burst of extremely low-pressure silence.

Suddenly, Liu Yanqing glanced at his second son, Liu Guangshi, and cursed: "You son of a bitch! When General Yang and Guo Yaoshi entered Yanjing City, where did you go?! If you arrived on time, how could Yanjing be returned to your teacher?" Xiao Qian took it!"

Liu Guangshi shrank his neck like a quail and looked at the ground, he was so scolded by his father that he dared not say a word.

At that time, Liu Guangshi had [-] soldiers in his hands. If he could arrive at Yanjing City in time and cooperate with the [-] Song troops in the city, he would be able to defend the city well, at least it would not make Xiao Qian seize the city with his backhand.

Speaking of this matter, Yang Keshi and Guo Yaoshi are also very responsible. Before the war was won, the [-] soldiers and horses who entered the city were not controlling key points, but were busy robbing and killing, which is ridiculous to say.

It can be seen that even the so-called elite Western Army has degenerated to such an extent that it is completely inadequate for appointment.

Yang Keshi showed a disapproving expression when he heard Liu Yanqing beat and scolded the traitor next.

Heart said: "Xiao Qian's men only have 10,000 soldiers and horses, half of them returned to the army, and only half of them confronted your [-]+ main force. You still dare not attack. When someone hears a rumor, you panic and want to withdraw the army in a hurry, withdraw the army That's all, the result turned into a rout, hmph, you father and son are really all the same, don't look down on each other."

Several leading generals slandered each other, and the generals were silent by the side.

Among them was a general with a burly body and the best martial arts among the three armies. He had made the first achievement at the age of 15.

Even Fang La, the leader of the Ming Cult, went deep into it alone and captured it with only one hand, but the credit was falsely claimed by Xin Xingzong, so far he only has an official of Cheng Jielang, and this person is Han Shizhong!

When the 20 Song army was defeated before, Han Shizhong was leading more than [-] riders to the Hutuo River, and encountered [-] Liao riders.

Han Shizhong ordered the cavalry to seize the high slope and line up on it, watching without moving.

He also sent people to organize the fleeing Song army, numbering hundreds, and let them line up and beat drums and shout.

Then, he personally led a few death-defying knights, rushed straight into the formation of the Liao army, passed all the way invincibly, attacked and beheaded the Liao general who held the banner, and seized his army flag.

At this time, the cavalry occupying the high ground came from top to bottom, and the soldiers of the Song army by the river also beat drums and shouted. The two thousand Liao troops were in chaos and retreated northward.Han Shizhong led his troops in pursuit, and gained a lot.

It can be regarded as a rare bright spot among the 20 Song troops, but despite this merit, it sets off the incompetence of other generals, so there is no reward for merit.
