Chapter 260 0257 [Chen Qiaoyi! 】

The Western Army is his trump card and his confidence.

The suppression of domestic rebellions several times before has indeed proved that the Western Army is indeed worthy of being called the elite.

When Fang La rebelled and even founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor, he did not panic.

There was a huge riot in the Northland last year. There were more than a hundred rebel groups, large and small, but he didn't panic.

But now, one hundred thousand Western troops were defeated, and the rebels even fought all the way from Jinan Prefecture to Kaifeng Prefecture. Song Huizong was completely panicked.

The confidence is gone!

What's even more frightening is that Jinan Mansion is four to five hundred miles away from Kaifeng Mansion. The rebels just came over in such a big way, but he didn't receive any news in advance.

While being horrified, Song Huizong suddenly thought of something and said angrily: "Liang Fangping, a bitch, dares to conceal military information and deceive me!"

He just has no intention of governing the country, not that he is stupid.

When the rebels arrived at his door this time, Song Huizong suddenly realized that the news published in the tabloid before was probably true.

Liang Shicheng reminded: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to hold people accountable, the top priority is to defeat the rebels!"

"Correct!"

After being reminded like this, Song Huizong nodded hurriedly and asked: "How many troops are there in the rebellion?"

"Four to five thousand cavalry!"

Liang Shicheng replied.

Four or five thousand cavalry?
Song Huizong was extremely angry and laughed: "Okay, okay, a small rebel, the number of cavalry is comparable to my Western Army!"

You can use your toes to figure out where these anti-thief war horses come from. They must have supernatural powers from outside and ghosts from inside!
There are four to five thousand cavalry, let alone ten thousand horses. Such a large number of horses requires at least a dozen horse guards to supply them.

In addition, how can thousands of war horses be transported from various horse prisons to Qingzhou silently?

How many roads and states and counties do you have to pass along the way?

Transshipment envoy, state magistrate, general magistrate, county magistrate...

Song Huizong quickly stopped his thoughts and did not dare to think about it anymore. Once he thought about it carefully, the number of officials listed in the list made even him break into a cold sweat.

Suppressing the shock and anger in his heart, Song Huizong quickly issued an order: "Order all the squadrons in front of the palace to defend the imperial city, order Li Bangyan to be the general manager of the imperial army, and command the imperial army of the three yamen, and Gao Qiu to be the deputy general manager... to go out of the city to quell the rebellion!"

……

When Li Bangyan received the order, he was almost scared to death.

Going out of the city to suppress a rebellion, what kind of joke are you making?

But the nobles who announced the decree have already blocked the door of the house. Is it possible that they can still resist the decree?
With no other choice, Li Bangyan had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the order.

The Sanya Forbidden Army was a force directly under the Zhao and Song emperors, and their responsibility was to defend the imperial city and the capital.That is, the Palace Front Division, the Guards Horse Army Division and the Guards Infantry Division.

In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the ratio of the imperial guards in the capital to the imperial guards stationed abroad was between [-] and [-].

Moreover, the Imperial Guards in the capital are all elites drawn from the Imperial Guards and Xiang armies from various places, and their combat power is the most powerful.

There are 36 forbidden troops stationed in Tokyo City alone!
Times have changed, and now, the Imperial Guards in the capital are no longer what they used to be. On the surface, there are still 14 people, but excluding the shortage of empty pay, there are actually only more than [-] people.

Moreover, since Gao Qiu took command of the Forbidden Army, he almost treated the Forbidden Army as domestic slaves.

Gao Qiu was not stupid. He specially selected a team of thousands of people from the Forbidden Army.

These selected soldiers are all tall and strong, with good looks, and look majestic when wearing armor.

This team of thousands of people is specially used to support the appearance.

When there is a major ceremony or festival, this team will be pulled out for a walk to act as the face of the Forbidden Army.

When Song Huizong saw it, he was overjoyed and thought that Gao Qiu had trained his troops well.

As for the remaining imperial troops, Gao Qiu regarded them as craftsmen and common people, building mansions and manors for his family.

Even in the end, if anyone in Tokyo wanted to build a mansion or manor, they would go directly to Gao Qiu instead of going to the craftsmen.

The good-looking imperial army has turned into a professional decoration team!

Half an hour later, Li Bangyan and Gao Qiu mobilized [-] infantry and [-] cavalry from the Dragon Guard and the Divine Guard.

The two of them ordered their troops and horses and marched toward the outside of the city.

The emperor's officials were unreliable, and the same was true for the people of Tokyo. When they learned that there were rebels coming to kill them, not many people were afraid. They just strolled around, ate tea, and went about their business.

The bustling appearance has not changed at all.

Instead, they used the rebels outside the city as talking points. They gathered together in twos and threes and talked loudly.

Some of the brave ones came to Zhuque Gate to watch the imperial army.

Li Bangyan is wearing a set of bright fish scale armor, with a sapphire lion horse on his crotch.

He has a handsome face, and he often plays Cuju, so he has a strong physique. He is wearing bright armor at the moment, shining in the sun, like a heavenly soldier and a god, which is beyond words.

Behind him were three thousand cavalry.

Most of these cavalry were the honor guard used by Gao Qiu to support his appearance. Each of them was tall and strong, and looked even more heroic against the backdrop of armor and horses.

For a time, countless onlookers clapped and applauded.

"it is good!!!"

"It's really the true Lord Guanjiangkou Erlang showing his sage!"

"Xianggong Li is so powerful that he repels the rebels!"

"..."

Listening to the cheers of the people, Li Bangyan felt so proud that he forgot his fear for a moment and felt that he could do it again.

He reined in his horse, stopped his horse, bowed his hands towards the people who were watching, and said loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone. The truth is, if I go to quell the thieves, I will definitely return the master to the capital with a bright future!"

"Okay!"

"Well done, Xianggong Li!"

The common people did not mind the excitement and cheered again.

Li Bangyan straightened his back, feeling proud in his heart.

After leaving the Zhuque Gate, he led his cavalry straight to Chenqiao Station, intending to intercept the rebels before they crossed the Yellow River.

Gao Qiu led a rapid march of [-] infantry, following closely behind.

……

"Report!"

"The Forbidden Army came out of the city to fight, with three thousand cavalry and ten thousand infantry. The cavalry is coming towards Chenqiaoyi, which is twenty miles away from our army!"

Out of town to fight?

Han Zhen raised his eyebrows with a strange look on his face.

I have to say that Song Huizong was still brave.

Liu Qi on the side looked puzzled and said: "The imperial guards such as Jingshi Pengri, Tianwu, Longwei, and Shenwei have long been corrupted. I once heard my father say that these imperial guards have become slaves of Gao Qiu's family, no different from craftsmen and common people. , how dare you go out of the city to fight?" Speaking of which, Gao Qiu had served under Liu Zhongwu in his early years.

Although he only went to the frontier army for gold plating, he actually gained a lot of military merit by following Liu Zhongwu.

Therefore, it was not long before Song Huizong transferred him back to the capital to command 80 forbidden troops.

Because of this relationship, Gao Qiu and Liu Zhongwu were quite close.

When Liu Zhongwu was demoted and sent to Lingnan, Gao Qiu also begged for his favor.

"Zhao Ji is looking down on us."

Han Zhen smiled slightly and said loudly: "Soldiers, the city of Tokyo is ahead of us, follow me to defeat the enemy!"

"Break the enemy!"

More than four thousand cavalrymen roared in unison, excited.

That's the city of Tokyo!
Even if they can't attack, just riding a horse around the capital will be enough for them to brag about for a lifetime!
……

But he said that after Li Bangyan led three thousand cavalry to Chenqiaoyi, he began to regret it.

The pride aroused by the people was extinguished by the cold wind along the way.

Sucking in his nose that was red from the cold, Li Bangyan turned around and asked, "How ferocious are the rebels?"

The man he asked was named Cao Xiong, and he was the son of a general after Cao Bin.

These generals' sons spend their days eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, hawking, and walking dogs. They are good at playing with women, but they don't know how to fight.

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Cao Xiong's eyes, and he said, "Xianggong Li doesn't know something. The so-called rebels are just farmers in the countryside. They are just brave people who don't know the way of military formation. It's better to scare them." A brave countryman is still a good archer, but when he encounters a tough opponent, he immediately becomes a bird and an animal."

"Then Fangla and Gaotuoshan were all like this. They were so powerful that when the Western Army arrived, they were instantly turned into powder."

Li Bangyan frowned and said with half belief and doubt: "But I heard that this rebel defeated the Western Army!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Cao Xiong turned pale with shock.

He didn't know the news yet, but now that he heard it, he felt extremely horrified.

That was the Western Army. Even the Western Army was defeated. How could they stop it?

Rumble!
At this moment, the earth began to tremble, and the sound of galloping horses was heard in the distance.

The rebels are coming!

Everyone was shocked and looked together.

I saw thousands of cavalry galloping towards the end of the official road.

These cavalrymen were all wearing black armor, and like an erupting mountain torrent, they swept towards them with terrifying power.

Compared with ordnance, the Forbidden Army led by Li Bangyan is not inferior.

As the imperial army guarding the capital, Gao Qiu was emboldened and did not dare to think about ordnance.

Comparing the number of people, there are three thousand cavalry of the Forbidden Army, and there are ten thousand infantry coming from the rear.

But the momentum between the two sides was vastly different.

These Forbidden Soldiers either work as coolies or do craftsman's work on weekdays. They don't practice a few times throughout the year. Many soldiers have never even killed a chicken, let alone killed a person.

Li Bangyan felt a little weak in his calves, and it became difficult to breathe.

He was originally a prodigal, and he had never seen such a scene before.

For a moment, Fang Cun was in such chaos that he froze on the spot.

"The rebels are fierce and invincible!"

Cao Xiong shouted, turned his horse's head and ran away.

"Run!!!!"

As soon as Cao Bin ran away, the three thousand Forbidden Army cavalry immediately dispersed, scrambling to cross the bridge behind them.

Only then did Li Bangyan come to his senses. Seeing all the cavalrymen running away, he couldn't help shouting in panic: "Wait for me, wait for me!"

"Hahaha!!!"

Seeing this scene, the cavalrymen of the Qingzhou Army couldn't help laughing loudly.

Liu Qi had a cold face, angry that he would not fight, hating that iron could not become steel.

In an instant, both sides were less than a hundred steps away.

Liu Qi drew his bow and arrow, aiming at Li Bangyan.

Who is called Li Bangyan? In addition to the armor, he also wears a red cloak that is very sexy, which makes him stand out among the Forbidden Army cavalry.

Whoosh!
The arrow shot out and accurately hit Li Bangyan's back.

"what!"

Li Bangyan felt a heavy punch on his back. He was so frightened that he fell off his horse in panic.

what? !

Liu Qi looked at Li Bangyan who fell to the ground, and then at the three-stone hard bow in his hand, with a look of disbelief on his face.

From a distance of seventy or eighty steps, can the arrow I shoot penetrate the armor?

Within a few breaths, the Qingzhou cavalry rushed forward. Liu Qi bent down, grabbed Li Bangyan from the ground, and placed him across the saddle.

Chenqiaoyi is located on the north bank of the Yellow River. The stone bridge is so big, how can it allow five thousand cavalry to pass through it at the same time.

Most of the cavalry were at the bridge, huddled in a mess.

"boom!"

Han Zhen held an iron spear in his hand and instantly knocked away four or five Forbidden Army cavalry.

With just one charge, the Imperial Army collapsed completely.

Han Zhen shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"

He didn't intend to take the prisoners of war from the Imperial Army, but the horses under him were all treasures.

These war horses are all fat and strong, and their hair is shiny and shiny. They are of extraordinary quality at first glance, and are much better than their war horses.

"The descendants do not kill!"

The cavalry of the Qingzhou Army also shouted.

Not long after, a large group of forbidden soldiers knelt in the open space next to the stone bridge.

Huang Kai happily stepped forward to report: "County magistrate, a total of 180 war horses have been seized!"

There are more than 100 war horses. If you pull them back, you can immediately add a thousand cavalry to the cavalry battalion.
