The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Chapter 180 Facing the 20 Song Army, Luo Chengqiang challenged the Song Army coach, and the whole audience was in an uproar.

Jia Xu said that the Jin army was strong and the Song army was weak. He would first go on the defensive to consume the Jin army, then assemble heavy troops to defeat the Song Dynasty with all his strength, and then attack back the Jin army. The generals who won immediately cheered.

indeed.

In comparison, the Jin Army is definitely a powerful army in this era.

Instead of confronting the Jin army, with the Song army causing trouble from behind, it is better to delay the Jin army, defeat the Song army, and then gather strength to fight against the Jin army.

Moreover, the wonderful thing is that they have two cities, Yangzhou and Jiankang, across the Yangtze River. They can be connected to each other, but they separate the Jin Army from the Song Army.

"Yes, that's it, first defeat the Song army, and then attack the Jin army!"

"For the Jin Army, it aims to be on the defensive and consume it, no matter who is there!"

Liu Yu also affirmed Jia Xu's strategy and immediately assigned combat tasks.

"The general is here!" Zhang Ren hurriedly handed over to Liu Yu.

"The king orders you to lead [-] Beifu soldiers, [-] Mongolian cavalry, and some new recruits to guard Yangzhou City. Do you have the confidence to resist the attack of tens of thousands or even [-] Jin troops?" Liu Yu looked at the gradually growing figure. Zhang Ren said loudly.

"The general will do his best to guard Yangzhou!" After listening to Liu Yu entrusting himself with the important task of guarding Yangzhou and resisting the Jin army, Zhang Ren immediately turned red and promised loudly.

"it is good!"

"The rest of the generals, mobilize the troops, all gather in Jiankang City, gather the people, and fight the Song army!" Liu Yu's majestic voice resounded.

When the generals heard the words, they agreed with a loud voice.

As the Jin and Song armies attacked from the north and south, a large number of Han people scolded Zhao and Song for their lack of justice.

Even after losing so much land, they still united with the Jin Army.

But as the news spread.

The Song Dynasty was willing to give Dajin 100 million shi of grain and 30 pieces of gold and silver cloth. They even ceded Jiankang and formed an alliance with the Jin Kingdom to jointly attack Liu Yu.

Han people everywhere scolded Zhao Song, and their support for Zhao Song dropped significantly. More Han people began to worry about Liu Yu.

In a short period of time, Liu Yu's ambition to re-establish the Han Dynasty and restore the mountains and rivers of the Han family has spread, and he has won the support of many Han people.

Therefore, the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Song Dynasty and Song Dynasty attacked from both sides, and many Han people were worried.

The two cities of Jiankang and Yangzhou are in a storm.

One after another, war information was intensively transmitted to Jiankang.

Build Kangcheng and palace.

The generals gathered again.

But it was because the Song Army's 20-strong army was only a hundred miles away from Jiankang.

"There are more than 20 Song troops sent by Zhao Gou. Do you think I, the king, should defend the city now, or should I take the initiative to attack?"

In the main hall of the palace, Liu Yu sat at the top and looked at Jia Xu and Xun You sitting below and asked.

After hearing this, all the generals looked at Jia Xu and Xun You.

They were already convinced of Jia Xu and Xun You's abilities.

Xun You touched his goatee and said with a smile: "My lord, in your humble opinion, we don't need to rush to send troops."

Liu Yu looked at Xun You and said: "If we take the initiative to attack, the battlefield will be outside the scope of Jiankang. Now Zhao Gou's troops have approached Jiankang City. If we don't take the initiative, the war will burn to Jiankang." If the city is destroyed, it will do a lot of harm to the people."

When Xun You heard this, he shook his head: "My lord loves the people, I admire you."

"It's just that according to Tanma's report, although Zhao Gou sent more than 20 troops to attack Jiankang, these 20 troops have so many troops this time that they will definitely not be able to keep up with the food and supplies. This situation will cause great losses. Their food and various baggage reserves. Therefore, You speculated that the people behind the Song army must be full of complaints. In addition, Zhao Gou was weak and fled all the way in the face of the Jin army. He was also unpopular in the army. As long as the Song army was kept at a distance The closer Jiankang City gets, the harder it will be for the generals of Zhao and Song to control the army. At that time, if the lord takes the initiative to attack and put pressure on the Song army, he will definitely win a complete victory!"

"As for bringing the war to Jiankang, it will affect the people. You don't think so. Now most of the people have moved to the city. If the Song army hurts the people, it will be the destruction of the city. At that time, it will be meaningless. So, You think that the Song army should be allowed to continue advancing and go deep into the hinterland of Jiankang to enter our territory!"

Liu Yu frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally took a deep breath and said: "That's a good statement. Since I said so, let the Song army get closer to Jiankang City first, and then go out to attack."

"Promise!" After hearing Liu Yu's decision, the generals immediately agreed.

A hundred miles away, the Song army marched for nearly seven days, allowing Liu Yu and other Han troops to really see the Song army's lack of military discipline.

After marching all the way, more than 20 Song troops led by Song generals Yang Yizhong, Liu Guangshi, Miao Fu, Wang Quanzhong and others approached Jiankang City one after another.

The generals of the Song Army had learned that Liu Yu only had [-] infantry and cavalry in Jiankang City, and he had not sent any troops to attack along the way. They thought that Liu Yu was afraid of them, or that he could not protect himself, so they all had the power of pride. color.

The reason was that Liu Yu had few soldiers and they had 20 troops. In addition, the Jin army from the north of Yangzhou also attacked Liu Yu in large numbers. Therefore, whether it was Yang Yizhong, Liu Guangshi, Miao Fu, Wang Quanzhong and others, They all thought the battle was settled.

Liu Yu must be defeated!

"Two days later, our army will attack Jiankang City with all its strength. At that time, no one should be in a hurry. No one is allowed to take the credit or the people. Everything in Jiankang City must be intact and left to His Majesty to send someone to take over! "

As the chief general, Yang Yizhong presided over the meeting and conveyed the wishes of Emperor Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty to Liu Guangshi, Miao Fu, Wang Quanzhong and other generals.

Obviously, they already considered themselves the victors.

"Don't worry, General Yang, we all understand!" Liu Guangshi, the most cunning, immediately agreed with a smile.

Yang Yizhong smiled slightly and turned to several other burly generals wearing armor: "Everyone, today is the last day. We must ensure that we complete the orders given by His Majesty and break through Jiankang City. It is best to capture Liu Yu. Otherwise, even if I, Yang Yi, protect you from death, you will be punished by Your Majesty after you return."

"Please rest assured, General Yang, we will do our best to break through Jiankang City and capture Liu Yu alive."

Yang Yizhong nodded, waved his hand, and everyone shouted in unison: "March!"

A trumpet sounded, and more than 20 Song troops began to advance slowly towards Jiankang City. Every ten feet they advanced, they would stop and rest. At the same time, some civilians carried ladders, wooden boxes, kerosene, rolling stones, sacks and other equipment. Follow behind.

Yang Yizhong looked at Jiankang City in the distance and murmured: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu, you dare to kill the Jurchens, I respect you as a man, but it is a pity that you should not be an enemy of the Song Dynasty!"

When he said this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He pulled out the sword from its scabbard and pointed it straight at the sky. He was about to give a loud shout to boost the morale of the Song army.

suddenly.

From the Jiankang City Gate in front, there was an earth-shattering cry of killing, as well as the earth-shattering figure of the cavalry charging.

Immediately afterwards, many ambushed Han infantry crawled out of the trench outside Jiankang City.

"what?!"

"Ambush?"

"The Han army has so many cavalry, how dare the Han army come out in full force?"

Seeing the overwhelming ground in front of them, the Han infantry and cavalry with huge morale suddenly rushed out, and the Song army was horrified.Taking advantage of this time, Liu Yu commanded his two men, Guan Yu and Luo Cheng, to lead eight thousand Mongolian cavalry to attack the junction of the Song army's formations from both wings.

The Song Army array of more than 20 people was originally a gathering of soldiers of varying quality from various places. The military formation was blocked, orders were inconsistent, and almost all had loopholes.

With the sudden impact of eight thousand Mongolian cavalry, the connection between the Song army's formations was directly destroyed. The Song soldiers fell on their backs, and the power of the Mongolian cavalry was undoubtedly revealed in an instant.

The weak Song army trembled and panicked under the sword of the Mongolian cavalry, and the blood instantly enveloped the Song army.

However, after all, there were too many Song troops. After a rush, Luo Cheng, riding his horse and holding a spear, led more than 1000 Mongolian cavalry and took the lead in charging towards a general of the Song Dynasty who seemed to be of high rank.

It was Wang Quanzhong, the commander of the cavalry army in front of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!
"Kill!" Luo Cheng shouted, and with his spear like a dragon, he rushed into the Song army's formation and started killing indiscriminately.

Next to Wang Quanzhong were rows of elite Song Army crossbowmen. They held bows and arrows and shot at Luo Cheng. The arrows rained densely, flying like locusts. The spear in Luo Cheng's hand flew up, blocking the arrows. shouted: "Coverage by riding and shooting!"

As Luo Cheng was furious, the cavalry behind him all drew their bows and set arrows. The next moment, a dense rain of arrows broke through the air, covering the rows of elite Song Army crossbowmen around Wang Quanzhong. The screams of screams could be heard instantly, and a large number of archers fell to the ground.

Wang Quanzhong was shocked, but he was shocked by the cavalry shooting of the Han army.

rumbling~
A large number of cavalry directly crushed the Song army, and Luo Long spear stabbed Wang Quanzhong.

"Damn, kill!"

Wang Quanzhong clamped his legs between the horse's belly and rushed forward in a hurry, taking the long knife straight to Luo's neck.

Unexpectedly, Luo Cheng was not afraid at all. Instead, he stabbed Wang Quanzhong's vital part with a very fast shot. The speed shocked Wang Quanzhong and he quickly ducked sideways to avoid it.

Unexpectedly, this was just Luo Cheng's bait. Luo Cheng suddenly changed the direction of his spear and hit Wang Quanzhong's nose hard.

Wang Quanzhong screamed, covering his face with nosebleeds, and fell off his horse in embarrassment. Just as he was about to struggle to get up, Luo Cheng kicked him, causing him to vomit blood and almost passed out.

Luo Cheng laughed, took out the saber from his waist, jumped up high, and cut off Wang Quanzhong's head with one knife. A stream of hot blood spurted out, dyeing his armor red.

"Boulder, release it, aim it at the Song Army, release it, release it, release it, release it!"

At the top of Jiankang City, hundreds of huge trebuchets returned to the cannon. They had already loaded the stones. With a loud roar, the huge stones were thrown into the air with a bang, drawing an arc in the air, far away. It fell over the soldiers of Song Dynasty.

There was a loud "boom", and a huge boulder fell, directly blowing nearly ten nearby Song troops into pieces, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere.

rumbling~
Boom~
Boom~
It seemed as if a rain of boulders had fallen from the sky. Boulders covered the Song army like meteorites, and shrill screams, exclamations, and shrill cries for help resounded throughout.

The impact of the boulder frightened the remaining Song soldiers out of their wits. Many of them dropped their weapons, fell to their knees, and cried bitterly: "Spare your life, spare your life!"

"Spare us, we surrender, we surrender!"

"Stop fighting, we are willing to surrender!"

The Song army under Wang Quanzhong was originally in the front army, but now it was directly and overwhelmingly defeated. The soldiers began to scramble to defeat one by one. When the Song army led by Yang Yizhong, Miao Fu, Liu Guangshi and others saw this, they all Shocked.

"Damn it, why are the Han cavalry so terrifying? And the trebuchet, it must have thrown too far, right?"

"You can't retreat. Once you retreat, the whole army will collapse and it will be over." Yang Yizhong's face was pale and he was sweating profusely, but he was shocked by the strength of the Han army.

"We must counterattack immediately to suppress the offensive of Liu Yu's army!" Upon seeing this, Yang Yizhong immediately issued a strict order.

Subsequently, Miao Fu, Liu Guangshi and other Song generals gritted their teeth and led their men to launch an all-out attack on the Han army, trying to use their superior strength to reverse the unfavorable situation on the battlefield.

"Huh, give me the order, continue to charge and defeat the Song army!" Liu Yu was sitting in the middle army. Seeing the movements of the Song army, he immediately ordered to beat the drums more vigorously and strengthen the offensive.

The Song army is really weak. The more soldiers there are, the lower the quality of the soldiers. At this time, Liu Yu's heart was completely in his stomach.

After the Han generals Guan Yu, Luo Cheng and others received the order, they immediately launched a stronger charge and attacked the Song army.

"Kill!"

As the war rages on and the fighting continues,
The infantry array of the Song Army was in chaos, and many people were fleeing in panic. The Han Army cavalry, on the other hand, raised their horses and whips, chasing the fleeing infantry, shouting for a moment to kill Zhentian, and the Song Army The formation became more and more scattered, and many people even began to drop their weapons and flee in all directions.

Although Yang Yizhong rose up to resist, the Han army's charge was even more ferocious. What made Yang Yizhong even more angry was that the Han cavalry actually avoided the elite Song troops and specifically attacked those Song soldiers with weak combat effectiveness. .

The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were greatly defeated, causing even greater commotion.

Their elite troops pursued the Han cavalry, but the Han cavalry kept a distance from them.

Yang Yizhong cursed: "This thief Liu Yu is indeed treacherous. He specializes in killing our weak soldiers and deceiving me that I have no cavalry. What should I do now?"

Miao Fu said: "Commander, our army has been largely defeated, and now we can only retreat."

Liu Guangshi gritted his teeth and said: "No, if we retreat, Liu Yu will never let us evacuate easily. I think we should hold on a little longer, otherwise it will be difficult for His Majesty to explain to us if we retreat."

Listening to Liu Guangshi's words, Yang Yizhong gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Come on the death squad, whoever dares to escape, kill, whoever dares to fight, kill!"

The delivery of Yang Yizhong's order made the Song army stronger.

However, the Mongolian cavalry, led by Luo Cheng, charged continuously and dealt a huge blow to the Song army. The morale of the Song army was sluggish and the entire army was facing collapse.

Yang Yizhong looked at Luo Cheng and said bitterly: "Drumroll, I will personally deal with that young general in white robes!"

After Yang Yizhong said this, he brandished his spear and led his soldiers of the Song Army towards Luo Cheng, who was leading dozens of cavalry to kill him!
"The thieves will stop being rampant! Yang Yizhong is coming!"

Yang Yizhong killed Luo Cheng directly under the nervous eyes of all the Song generals.

Yang Yizhong is also a fierce general.

But he wanted to kill Luo Cheng to boost his morale!
Luo Cheng smiled coldly, shook the spear in his hand, opened the tip of Yang Yizhong's spear, swept it straight to Yang Yizhong's chest, Yang Yizhong was shocked when he saw this, and quickly raised his spear to parry, but Luo Cheng Yang Yizhong's marksmanship was too sharp. Several gun flowers bloomed. Yang Yizhong took seven or eight steps back before he stabilized himself and looked at Luo Cheng with lingering fear.

Yang Yizhong was shocked and said: "Who are you? Why have you never heard of it before?"

Luo Cheng smiled slightly and said, "You are going to die soon, so what's the use of knowing my name?"

Yang Yizhong gritted his teeth and said: "You little thief, you are so rampant, I can't keep you alive."

After saying that, he stabbed quickly with his spear, and Luo Cheng showed no sign of weakness, and the two of them fought.

Luo Cheng and Yang Yizhong fought for more than twenty times. Although Yang Yizhong was brave, he still had to compete. His martial arts was far inferior to Luo Cheng. He could barely compete with his rich combat experience and skills, but Luo Cheng's marksmanship It was exquisite and cunning. Every time it stabbed, it always blocked all the possible escape paths for Yang Yizhong. The last shot forced Yang Yizhong to use his right arm to meet him. After a muffled sound, , Yang Yizhong's left arm was cut off in half, the tiger's mouth was split open, and blood gushed out. The left hand holding the gun instantly became sore and numb, and he could no longer hold it.

Yang Yizhong screamed, and a breath of death hit his face.

At this moment, Luo Cheng looked at Yang Yizhong and suddenly shot straight at Yang Yizhong, hitting Yang Yizhong's throat. Yang Yizhong's eyes widened and he fell down, while Luo Cheng withdrew his gun and shot back. He lifted his vaginal legs and kicked Yang Yizhong down. He pulled out his spear and stared coldly at Yang Yizhong who fell to the ground.

Yang Yizhong bit his lip: "You..." Before he could finish his words, he died of anger.

Seeing the Song Army coach being shot dead by Luo Cheng, the whole audience was in an uproar.
