Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 279 The End
"Hit it hard!"

"boom!"

"Collide!"

Li Yanxian stood in the team holding a shield and shouted orders to the front.

In front of him was a huge fortress wall. Although the Song army had some shortcomings, since this was Tan Zhen's headquarters camp, the fortress was fairly neatly built, but it also caused harm to the Han army that attacked from the front. A lot of casualties.

Dozens of wooden carts equipped with battering rams were slowly pushed to the front of the camp by the auxiliary soldiers. They were not used to attack the gate of the camp, but directly began to bombard the wooden walls of the camp.

This kind of tactics is actually extremely reckless, but the Song army in the camp has been suppressed by rounds of arrows and fire oil, and it is difficult to fight back. The Han army can make as much noise as they want outside the camp.

After a series of heart-wrenching loud noises, the walls of the village were continuously knocked open. As the broken wood continued to break, sawdust flew everywhere. More soldiers began to continue to destroy the gap, either directly lining up to rush into the camp under the officer's order, or continuing to expand the gap to clear the entrance for the soldiers behind.

Everyone is going through the process tiredly.

Many soldiers of the Song Army did not even know why the battle situation suddenly turned into a situation where they were being beaten. They only knew to fight back subconsciously, and then died in a daze.

Liu Ling's inner view is that he can wear the dragon robe himself, but if others want to put the dragon robe on him, he will wear the dragon robe.
dead!
"Sit down and let's talk."

The curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man wearing black linen clothes and dressed like a commoner came in and bowed down to Liu Ling.

Speaking of this, he looked a little disappointed.

"There's no rush to change my tune now."

"Your Majesty, Li Heda would like to see you."

Liu Ling sighed. The last time he used the dragon 纛 was just to boost morale, but the people below him obviously had the wrong idea. Many people were eager to push him to the dragon throne in the army. If it weren't for Kang Gong Bi suppressed the army several times under Liu Ling's instructions, and he was afraid that he would have to wear a yellow robe and join the story.

"minister"

There were red-eyed Han soldiers everywhere, desperately rushing forward to kill.

Liu Ling put down the military report in his hand and nodded slightly.

Liu Ling never regarded anyone as a fool. Although Li Heda had almost lost his troops, he was still the commander-in-chief of the first army, but now he came to pay homage to him in civilian clothes. This naturally meant that he wanted to remind Liu Ling.

"The minister obeys the order."

Li Heda stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Enough people have died. I will at least bring the living ones back to Yandi."

"Kill Tan Zhen and reward the military lord!"

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, Tan Zhen's headquarters camp and dozens of camps were completely isolated. Countless Han troops wearing black armor gathered into a wave and continuously attacked the camps.

"There were more than 6,000 deserters who rebelled, dispersed, and escaped. The Mo General was originally divided into four camps. The Song army defeated one camp, and the other two collapsed without a fight. Now only the Mo General There is no camp where I am personally in charge.”

After the war, there will be pension money and food, which is enough to make the life of one's family worry-free. Those who survive can gain military honors and make themselves and their families live better. As for killing Tan Zhen, it will be a great achievement that reaches the sky in one step!

Liu Ling rubbed his brows and said, "When I get back, I will change my clothes. I will look like a serious Han official. I will wear a commoner. I think all Han soldiers are so poor that we have no clothes to wear."

Afterwards, remember to make a list. "

The battle to attack the camp officially started in the morning. By evening, the Han army that had attacked the camp during the day had changed its rounds for five times. Almost all the Song army's outer camps had been eradicated. After night, another enemy appeared in the south with no end in sight. of fire.

"I am terrified."

Li Heda's Xia army had been completely disabled by Yao Pingzhong before. At this moment, he did not continue the attack with the remaining remnants, but stayed with Li Liang's auxiliary army.

To the north, Li Liangfu climbed high and beat drums to cheer for the soldiers.

"My unit has done everything within its power. Even if we follow the army to attack the camp now, if we are lucky enough to get some military exploits, it will be nothing more than the icing on the cake, but some more people will die in vain."

Li Heda was watching the battle in the distance attentively. When he heard this, he immediately snorted: "So many people died in the early stage, just for now."

"Your Majesty, Li Heda, pays homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Liu Ling smiled and said, "As long as he can do his best for the Han Dynasty, no matter what, the soldiers who died in battle will be regarded as soldiers of the Han army, and their families will be given pensions as appropriate, and their families can also move to Yanyun as citizens."

The deputy general beside him asked in confusion: "The whole army is attacking, why don't we go?"

"Kill Tan Zhen and reward the military lord!"

"My entire army was wiped out. I betrayed His Majesty's grace and deserved to be punished for his crime."

To the west, Liang Zhe personally led his army to attack fiercely. After breaking through the camp gate, he rode his horse and went straight in with a sword, and cut off the flag in the center of the Song army's camp with one blow.

"The King of Han is here. As long as we open the camp gate and help him catch Tan Zhen." Du Chong took a deep breath and said, "Tan Zhen's death is not far away. There is no need for us to suffer for him."

"There is no need to refuse. Although there are many defectors in the Xia army, after all, there are still many who died in the battle and those who stayed, right?"

How many years has it been since you went back?

A huge team appeared in the sight of the Song army. Du Chong stood on the arrow tower, clenching and unclenching his hands several times. After a moment, he said to the people around him: "The King of Han is here."

There are Han troops all around. Either he will live and die with those camps, or he can only
Du Chong whispered a few instructions to the confidant next to him, who was slightly startled and looked at him in disbelief.

"Here."

He was originally from the Liao Dynasty, but because the Jin people went south, he had no choice but to flee to the Xia Kingdom to become an official.

Li Heda bowed respectfully and stood up immediately. Before leaving, he heard Liu Ling say again: "Have you counted how many Xia soldiers have rebelled?"

Li Heda immediately knelt down again.

"See."

"General Li's 20,000 loyal troops resisted the Song Dynasty's 100,000-strong army, and his contribution was extremely great." Liu Ling looked at Li Heda and said directly: "Anyone who is still with the general will be rewarded based on their merits, and an additional 50,000 yuan will be given." Guan, plus one hundred and fifty generals and below, leaving General Li to choose.

"Isn't your camp also in chaos?"

Li Heda was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately said: "After all, the army is short of food, and those people are also temporarily confused."

When he was preparing to lead his army north to resist Yao Pingzhong, there was civil strife in the camp. Some Xia army soldiers were only willing to stay in the camp. Now, they have directly received the credit.

"What's going on in your head?"

Liu Ling smiled, reached for a document, and looked at it casually without raising his head.

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Li Heda's forehead, and he whispered: "I have handed over those who are unwilling to obey orders to the command of Li Liangfu. They should also be ordered to attack the camp now. They..."

"I ask you, what are you thinking about?" Liu Ling raised his hand and smashed the document in his hand directly into Li Heda's face.

Li Heda was more than ten years older than Liu Ling, and he was considered very dignified in the army. At this time, he immediately curled up after being scolded and knelt on the ground without daring to move.

"I gave you the power to command the army alone and gave you money and food. Now you have wiped out the entire army and only a few hundred people are left. I don't blame you, but you want to go beyond me and forgive those Xia troops who betrayed me? "

"His Majesty."

Li Heda knelt on the ground and whispered: "After all, the 20,000 Xia army has been wiped out, and the remaining Xia people can't cause chaos. However, four hundred miles south from Yinzhou is the homeland of the Xia Kingdom. The Xia tribes, There are many military commanders, and now the war between Han and Song Dynasties has come to an end. The Han army is exhausted and can no longer fight.

If the king is willing to be noble and let it go for the time being, I think the Xia people will be grateful and surrender wholeheartedly, so..."

"I just want to know, when you did this, when you handed over your soldiers to Li Liangfu, did you write it in the military newspaper and submit it?"

"I haven't."

Li Heda was already covered in cold sweat, and he didn't dare to look up anymore. He could feel that the other person's eyes were staring at him.

"Go to Li Liangfu immediately and get all the people back after the attack is over tonight." Liu Ling added indifferently: "If the attack is not over tomorrow, then we will all be incorporated into the camp and behead less than one person per person." Those who are above the first level will be inspected on the same day, and those who do not exceed the first level will be killed!”

"I'll give them a chance. As for you, just go back and have a good rest."

"The minister obeys the order."

After leaving the handsome tent, Li Heda immediately began to breathe heavily. He thought he could easily get benefits based on his merits, but when he actually knelt down in front of the man, all he could do was listen.

The deputy general came over and asked a few questions in a low voice. Li Heda shook his head and asked: "How many of the people with me are left?"

"Less than five hundred people."

"Tell them to let everyone eat and drink well tonight and have a good rest."

Li Heda sighed and said, "Tomorrow, I will personally take you to attack the camp."

When the war started, the Song army's numerical advantage was always higher than that of the Han army.

Even now, various Han armies arrived in the surrounding areas one after another and began to surround Tan Zhen's 90,000 Song army. What really played a decisive role was the main force of the 30,000 Han army that followed the Han king all the way here.

Li Liangfu's Lulong Army was relatively well organized but not very powerful. It used all its strength to attack Yao Pingzhong's troops southward. He broke out of the camp and attacked the stronghold four times, and pursued them southward for forty miles. Yao Pingzhong's entire army was wiped out and his own casualties were also high.

Liang Zhe's troops had been crippled, and Li Heda's Xia army had been completely annihilated.

But their morale has always been high, and after learning that the three Song armies were defeated, many cities within the Yongxing Army Road directly began to send people to beg for surrender, and only a few cities were still holding on.

But what can be expected is that as long as more than a thousand Han troops go to the outside of the city, those cities will not be able to hold on.

That night, Liu Ling met with more than a dozen generals. On the next day, he directly replaced Liang Zhe's Shengjie army and put the two main forces of the Han army, Quduan and Yelu Dashi, directly into the front line.

The Song Army's outer camps were forced, and part of the main camp had fallen. The defenders could only be trapped in the second and deeper camp gates.

Early on the next morning, war drums were beating outside, and countless Song troops looked outside in panic, knowing that the Han army was coming again.

These Han soldiers are simply crazy!

It's the devil!
Their own arrows were fired, and they dared to rush forward despite the arrows. Even those in the Han army who were obviously auxiliary soldiers and civilians were like madmen, only knowing how to help the friendly forces advance.

We all live on that salary, so what are you trying to do with your lives?

When they heard the drumbeat of the Han army's attack, many Song troops mutinied and dispersed, causing chaos everywhere.

Du Chong, wearing a red general's armor, stood in a camp gate with his sword pressed, waving his hand.

The more than a hundred soldiers who followed him immediately got into action, drew their swords and hacked to death all the "comrades" guarding the camp gate, then stepped on the corpses to open the camp gate.

The Han troops outside, who were already preparing to break through the camp gate wall, immediately began to march forward in formation after a brief delay. One of Du Chong's confidants took the initiative to ride up to meet them, shouting: "We surrender!"

"I am willing to surrender to the king's master!"

"Du Chong!"

Tan Zhen was furious after hearing the news. He immediately looked at a famous Song general present and shouted: "Who else is there? Are you all going to surrender?"

He had previously ordered the entire army to break out to the east, but because they had to carry too much baggage, the soldiers moved slowly, so that when the Han army came over, they were not able to leave. After all, Tan Zhen still had some guts, and knew that he could not leave, so he just Can give orders to defend to the death.

However, after 90,000 Song soldiers were blocked inside, and the food routes were blocked, the entire army counted grains of food every day, and their morale had long since collapsed.

"Commander, there are still more than a thousand cavalry in the camp. The general will block the front for the commander. Commander, hurry up and break through!"

"I can't leave!"

Tan Zhen roared with red eyes: "His Han army came with thirty thousand people, but he was able to block ninety thousand of us inside the camp gate and couldn't get out! I can't understand, I really can't understand, there are so many people, you Why don’t you dare to rush!”

He was still pointing at the noses of the generals and yelling curses. There were all warriors in the handsome tent. How could he control his temper at this time? Someone immediately stood up and pointed at him and yelled curses.

"It's not like you castrated dogs are usurping power and humiliating the country. We are all fighting. If the people above give orders, we will fight. If you talk, we will die! We don't have enough pay, and we don't have enough food. You talk loudly in the tent every day, shouting that the Han army is nothing to be afraid of!
Do you know what kind of armor those Han soldiers were wearing? The auxiliary soldiers were wearing military boots, while our soldiers could only wear straw sandals to fight! "

"Well said, old dog Tan Zhen, you only know how to talk about others, but you have also done this thing of taking military pay. The roots of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were ripped away by you damned thieves!"

There were not many people who could sit down at the critical moment of life and death. Everyone present was more or less prepared, but at this time they could not hide their anger and started shouting directly at Tan Zhen.

One by one, more and more people began to curse, so that in the end, everyone was yelling at Tan Zhen.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault!"

Tan Zhen shouted, he grabbed the saber on the table, and all the Song generals in front of him immediately picked up the things around them and used them as weapons.

Seeing this scene, Tan Zhen smiled contemptuously and stood up slowly with a knife.

"One by one, they say that we castrated dogs are causing trouble in the country, but if we can really create a figure like Di Xianggong, can you?"

"A bunch of trash!"

"We are going out to lead the troops and fight to the death with the Han army. If you are really determined, follow me and fight to the death with the Yan thieves!"

All the generals looked at him in silence. Tan Zhen quickly walked out of the commander's tent during the gap. He stared at the bright sky outside, took a deep breath, and turned to look at his confidants beside him.

"Go and prepare your horse!"
