Chapter 267 The Battle of Hehuang
With the second heavy snow falling in Kaifeng, the second year of Shaosheng finally came.

"The Battle of Hehuang! I'm afraid it has already begun!"

Looking at the snowflakes outside the window, Fan Zheng's thoughts fluttered, and he couldn't help turning his head to look in the direction of the western Qingtang.

According to the plan of the court, around the winter solstice, when the heavy snow falls, it is the time for the Song army to attack Qingtang and surprise the land of Hehuang.

Fan Zheng had ordered the military supervisor to transport the cotton armor and winter combat materials needed for the surprise attack to Xihe City. Now Zhongpu and Yao Xiong have already invaded Hehuang.

However, Kaifeng and Qingtang are thousands of miles apart, and there is heavy snow in between. If you want to hear the specific military situation, you may have to wait until the next year.

........................

In the six prefectures of the Xihe River, on the banks of the Yellow River, the Song army gathered a full [-] soldiers and horses.

"General Zhong! The Yellow River is frozen thick enough to withstand people and horses crossing the river!" Lieutenant General Yao Xiong looked at the Yellow River, looked at the thick ice under his feet, and said with a hint of joy.

The Yellow River in Qingtang is naturally dangerous and the current is fast. Normally, bridges are needed to cross the river, and it is easy to be attacked by the enemy halfway. However, it is not without shortcomings. When winter comes, the Yellow River will be covered with a thick layer of ice. At this moment, the natural barrier of the Yellow River will be smooth.

Chong Pu laughed and said: "Fan Taicheng's evil side has never been defeated. Without the natural danger of the Yellow River, our army will surely win this battle."

Yao Xiong was also heartbroken, the kidnapper horse he trained was Fan Zheng's evil formula, so naturally he was extremely convinced by Fan Zheng's evil formula.

"However, there are many soldiers who complain about going out in winter. After all, the land of Qingtang is extremely cold in winter, and going out in snow is a big taboo for soldiers." Yao Xiong suddenly frowned.

The Northwest is bitterly cold. The Song Dynasty defeated Xixia several times because of the severe cold weather, which made Xixia lose without a fight. Whenever winter comes, almost both sides will stop fighting. This is already a tacit understanding between Song and Xia.

Now the Song army suddenly sent troops in winter, making the soldiers fight in the severe cold.

"A lot of complaints?" Zhong Pu sneered, "Could it be that when the enemy invades in winter, won't we wait for the soldiers to fight?"

"But our army has never had experience in snow battles!" Yao Xiong said with a wry smile.

Zhong Pu said solemnly: "Our army doesn't have one. Could it be that the Qingtang army has one? The Qingtang is vast and sparsely populated. With the heavy snow blocking it, there is no time for rescue. In addition, our army has cotton armor to protect the body, which is enough to deal with the severe cold. Our army will surely win this battle. Order the troops and ask them whether they want to lose blood in summer or win in winter."

Following Zhong Pu's order, Zhong Pu's question quickly spread to [-] soldiers and horses.

"I'm willing to win in the winter!"

Soon there was a response from the army from behind.

The Song army was originally weak in force, and there was not much chance of winning in a frontal battle. This winter march also had cotton armor and other cold-proof items, which could not only keep warm, but also had good protection capabilities, which were suitable for winter combat.

Seeing the Song army's morale shaken, Zhong Pu waved his hand and said, "The whole army crosses the river!"

At the moment, following Zhong Pu's order, 2 horses immediately crossed the Yellow River and rushed straight to the Hehuang Valley.

"Pass down the order, put on the clothes, march at full speed, and head straight for the black city of Longzhu."

After setting foot on the land of Qingtang, Zhong Pu immediately gave an order.

The army took the lead, and immediately scouted ahead, using clairvoyance to open the way, trying to avoid the large tribes in Qingtang, and went straight to Longzhu Heicheng, the important city of Qingtang.

When the Song army suddenly approached Longzhu Heicheng, Qingtang didn't react at all.

"Yes! Song Army!" Qingtang guards felt cold in their hearts, looking at the overwhelming Song Army in the snow outside the city with a look of horror.

They never thought that the Song army would suddenly appear and attack Qingtang in winter.

"The Song people betrayed their faith and attacked Qingtang, blow the horn and defend the city with all their strength!" The guard immediately reacted, and immediately sounded the horn of the enemy's attack.

"late!"

Zhong Pu sneered.

The Black City of Longzhu was the city that the Song Army was determined to win. With the Black City of Longzhu, the Song Army would have a foothold to attack Qingtang.

"Siege!"

At the moment, Zhong Pu waved his hand.

The [-] Song army rushed straight to Longzhu Heicheng like a tide.

The Song army took the lead in the surprise attack, and coupled with the superiority in numbers, not to mention that Longzhu Heicheng was just a small city. Immediately, the Song army fell in the first battle, and some pioneers attacked the city wall.

"The city is broken!"

Song Jun cheered!At the moment, with all his strength, he broke into the city.

"The evil doctor, Fan Zheng, and the evil party have never failed." Zhong Pu let out a sigh of relief.

If the defenders of Qingtang had been prepared, the Song army would definitely have to pay several times the price. I am afraid that the outcome would be unpredictable. Now they have easily broken through the Black City of Longzhu.

Longzhu Heicheng was compelled, and the soul of the Qingtang guard died, and immediately led his cronies to break through.

Song Jun suddenly betrayed his promise and attacked Qingtang. The only thing he could do to atone for his sin was to report the news to King Aligu as soon as possible.

As the Song army entered the city, the defenders fled the battle, the resistance of Longzhu Heicheng became weaker and weaker, and the defenders of Qingtang dropped their weapons and surrendered one after another.

"The last general is incompetent, let the defender of Qingtang escape!" Chong Pu had just entered Longzhu Black City, and Yao Xiong, covered in blood, came in to plead guilty.

Yao Xiong was responsible for intercepting the fleeing Qingtang defenders. Although he severely injured the fleeing Qingtang defenders, he let the Qingtang defenders escape.

"It's okay, we've already captured the Black City of Longzhu, the purpose of the surprise attack has been achieved, it's impossible to hide the army anymore." Zhong Pu waved his hands.

There is only one chance for a surprise attack. Now that the Song army has gained a foothold, they can use the fighters scattered in various parts of Qingtang in winter to defeat them one by one.

"You and I set off immediately, divide our troops to sweep across the Qingtang on both sides of the Huangshui River, and finally join forces to attack Qingtang City." Chong Pu said solemnly.

The Hehuang Valley is the core of the Qingtang. Once the Qingtang tribes in the Hehuang Valley are broken, the strength of the Qingtang will be greatly damaged.

"Then what should we do with these Qingtang surrendered soldiers?" Yao Xiong frowned, looking at the Qingtang defenders who had surrendered in the city.

They went deep alone, so they had to concentrate their superior forces to sweep across all the ministries in Qingtang. Since Longzhu Heicheng had just been captured, people's hearts were not stable, and many soldiers and horses might be left to guard it.

Chong Pu's face turned stern and he said, "If you dare to swing a knife at the Song army, not one will be left behind!"

Zhong Pu naturally knew that Huairou's method was the most suitable method for Da Song to rule Qingtang for a long time, but he didn't have many choices.

He had to concentrate his superior forces to attack the more powerful Qingtang City. He didn't have too many troops in Longzhu Black City. The only thing he could do was to completely eliminate the threat.

Yao Xiong couldn't help being shocked. Although he knew that this move was against the harmony of heaven and would cause endless troubles, it was the only choice for the Song army to win at present.

With Yao Xiong nodding helplessly, the chief general and deputy general of the Song army reached an agreement.

Soon, the sound of killing in the black city of Longzhu resumed, and all the soldiers in Qingtang were destroyed and turned into a purgatory.

The next day, Zhong Pu left only [-] troops to garrison the Black City of Longzhu, split up with Yao Xiong, and went south to sweep across the Hehuang Valley, even breaking through the various ministries of Qingtang.

Before the Spring Festival, Chong Pu and Yao Xiong joined forces, and [-] soldiers approached Qingtang City.

Ali was shocked.
