Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1109 Longguan Succeeded
Li Chenghao clenched his fists and muttered to himself: "White Tiger Legion..." It turned out to be the White Tiger Legion of Xiangfu Kingdom stationed in Taozhou and Qingzhou.

The stone bullet was still in mid-air, and the neat cavalry of the White Tiger Legion in the distance suddenly spread out in all directions, opening a huge distance. Immediately, the knight flipped his wrist, and a small iron shield appeared in his hand immediately, protecting the vital points , still galloping on horseback.

"What a quick reaction, what a superb riding skill!" Li Chenghao felt awe-inspiring in his heart, and his body trembled slightly. He was sent to this position after Li Mingxuan came to power. He is a member of the Li clan. It is impossible for Xiangfu Kingdom to surrender, only to die all the way.

The effect of the first round of long-range strikes was very poor. There were as many as a thousand cavalrymen from the White Tiger Legion in the first wave of attacks, but only a dozen or so were knocked off their horses.

With a buzz, the second round of shooting started again.

At this time, Wei Ziyong had already rushed into the city gate with half of the hundreds of defeated soldiers, and the battalion commander outside had already started to order the troops to retreat slowly, preparing to enter the city gate and then close the city gate.

However, at this time, a sudden change occurred.

Wei Zi, who was riding on the horse, shouted bravely, "Kill!" With a shake of his arm, he shot the spear in his hand, and stabbed a leading officer of the Northwest Frontier Army in the city gate to death in the chest.

When Wei Ziyong got into trouble, the out-of-breath soldiers following behind him instantly turned into the incarnation of death. He raised his wrist and took out a fast-firing crossbow from his clothes. The soldiers of the frontier army were caught off guard and were shot down one by one. These murderous rout soldiers rushed up and snatched the weapons dropped by the soldiers of the northwest frontier army.

At the same time, outside the city gate, the other half of the rout soldiers with weapons in their hands shouted to kill in unison, turned around on the spot, took out a quick crossbow in their left hand, and shot at the northwest frontier army behind them who were originally covering them. Going out, more than 200 people, more than 200 fast crossbows with four bursts, and a salvo, the 1000 people who were facing them with their backs fell down more than 300 people.

Then, one of the rout soldiers soared into the air, reaching a height of three zhang, and two flying knives swirled out of his hand, and with two slaps, the thick rope of the suspension bridge was cut off immediately.This person is none other than Sun Lixing, the commander of the killer battalion of the special brigade and a first-class expert.

Except for Wei Ziyong, all of this group of rout soldiers were dressed up by fighters from the Killer Battalion of Xiangfu Kingdom's special brigade.

The sudden change made the commander of the battalion outside the city stunned for a while, then reacted suddenly, and rushed up with the remaining 600 people.

Li Chenghao on the city also reacted quickly, when something happened suddenly in the city, he understood what was going on, and shouted: "Wei Ziyong defected to the enemy, come here, kill him, take back the city gate, Kou Guang, hurry up and bring someone to him!" I'll run back and kill them, or you'll all die."

Li Chenghao made a huge mistake in his haste. He should not have ordered Kou Guang to lead his troops back. More than 600 people who were still alive at that time rushed to the city gate, blocking the city gate to death. Let alone closing the city gate at this time, the people in the blocked city gate could hardly even turn around. They are all fighting desperately. One side knows that if the city gate cannot be taken back and the enemy cavalry rushes into the city, it will be a death sentence, but the other side also knows that if the city gate hole cannot be defended and the opponent closes the city gate, all previous efforts will be wasted. Said none of them would survive.

This kind of chaotic and desperate fighting is exactly what the killer battalion of the special brigade is best at, so even though they only have [-] people, they still hold the city gate firmly.

However, the more than 600 people led by Kou Guang also knew that it was time for life and death. They all gritted their teeth and stabbed the knives in their hands forward. , Even if there are those who are afraid of death, no one takes half a step back.The elite Northwest Frontier Army deserves to be an elite soldier.

Sun Lixing knew that this was the critical moment to seize the city, so the two short knives in his hands danced like windmills to protect the vital points. But it is not fatal, nor does it affect his combat effectiveness.

"Kill!" Sun Lixing's leopard eyes widened, and he advanced step by step, killing one person with each step.

Behind him, the cavalry of the White Tiger Legion rushed forward. The galloping cavalry rushed up the suspension bridge and rushed into the city gate. The dismounted horse bumped into the crowd, stopped suddenly, the horse's head broke off, and the knight on the horse flew up like clouds and fog, and the spear in his hand stabbed the Song army who was hundreds of people down.

"Stop the hole, block it, kill it, kill it!" Li Chenghao shouted loudly, his eyes were red, he waved his saber.

But as more and more cavalry rushed up, Kou Guang's [-] Northwest Frontier Army outside the city had all died in battle. The soldiers in the city could no longer stop them and retreated step by step. The infantry appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Li Chenghao's eyes burst open. Seeing more and more cavalry rushing into the city, he drew his knife in despair and wanted to charge down himself. Several soldiers held him back and shouted: "General Li, the city gate can't be taken!" Go back, go back to the city, go to the east gate, at the east gate, organize an army to fight back, and take Longguan back."

The west city collapsed in an instant. The cavalry rushed into the city and rushed all the way along the street. One of them rushed to the top of the city along the steps and chased and killed the soldiers on the top of the city.

The infantry in the distance threw off their strides and came running wildly. The brigade leader shouted: "Brothers, hurry up, and the military exploits will be all due to the special brigade and the cavalry brigade. By then we will even drink soup." No more."

"Come on!" The soldiers happily spread their big feet and rushed towards Longguan.

……

……

Han Tao stood under the banner fluttering in the wind, laughing loudly, the Long Pass was captured, half of the army went straight into the pass, and only Dasan Pass was left behind.And as long as the Dasan Pass is conquered, there will be no danger to defend in the future, and the army can even drive straight in and kill Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion.

In the east city, Li Chenghao was unable to organize an effective counterattack in the end. The cavalry who entered the city rode their horses and charged, crushing all the counterattacks ruthlessly. As the infantry of the Xiangfu National Army rushed into the city, more cavalry rushed towards the east city. The tens of thousands of northwestern frontier troops in the city were separated, fighting and persuading them to surrender. These ten thousand northwestern frontier troops, whose morale has been more or less affected these days, finally put down their weapons in groups and began to surrender.

Li Chenghao only had dozens of soldiers and one general around him, but he was already surrounded by hundreds of white tiger cavalry and some soldiers from the special brigade. Changwen Zitao is impressively in the row.

"Wei Ziyong, you traitor, I'm going to skin you! Stretch your tendons, drink your blood, and eat your flesh!" Li Chenghao's eyes burst open. If Wei Ziyong hadn't cheated the city, Longguan would have missed so easily.

Holding Shangzi's blood-dripping spear, Wei Ziyong moved forward slowly, looking at Li Chenghao.

"General Li, the emperor of the Song Dynasty has no virtue, and the court is incompetent. Nearly tens of millions of people in the Northwest Three Routes have already turned their hearts to the Xiangfu Kingdom, and the collapse of the Song Kingdom is a foregone conclusion. , it is better to let His Majesty the Emperor of Xiangfu Kingdom get this country, continue our Huaxia Dynasty, take back Jiangnan, even destroy Khitan, and let the people live and work in peace. The so-called people who know the current affairs are heroes, and good birds should choose trees to live in. General Li, you Although it is with Li Mingxuan's relatives, if you surrender, His Majesty the Emperor of Yixiangfu Kingdom will definitely not embarrass you."

Li Chenghao's eyes spit fire, his body was stained with blood, and he cursed: "Traitor, give up your heart! I will never surrender..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the general of the Song army next to him suddenly swung the saber in his hand. With one swiping of the saber, a cold light flashed, and Li Chenghao's head flew out, his blood gushing over two feet, and he fell to the ground. got the horse.The dozens of soldiers around him roared and rushed towards the officer, but before they could make a move, the Xiangfu army surrounding them shot crossbow arrows and shot them all to death.

Only the General Song with a complex expression was left in the field, holding Li Chenghao's head in one hand and a saber in the other.

At this time, the surrounding Xiangfu army opened a passage, and Han Tao came out. The officer knelt down in front of Han Tao and said loudly, "Wu Sanfeng, deputy general of Longguan of the Northwest Frontier Army, surrendered to your army."

Han Tao took a deep look at this person, and said: "Okay! General Wu, please stand up. Come on, accept Li Chenghao's rank and hang it on the flagpole at the top of the city. Xiaoyu's still resisting enemy troops in the city, hurry up He put down his weapons and surrendered. I would like to ask General Wu to help gather the surrendered troops, and continue to lead the surrendered troops. For the time being, he will be assigned to my White Tiger Army."

Wu Sanfeng was overjoyed and said yes respectfully.

With the death of Li Chenghao, the resistance in Longguan became weaker and weaker. By nightfall, the fighting in Longguan City had basically ended, and the soldiers who entered the city began to put out the fire and piled up the bodies of the dead. With Wu Sanfeng's help, the entire Longguan was quickly controlled.

……

……

Song State, Jingdong East Road, the largest port city Haizhou.

To the east of Haizhou City, Haikou Port faces southeast of the sea, more than 50 miles away, Liu Jinyuan commanded [-] naval forces, and thousands of warships rushed to approach Haizhou.According to the strategic plan set by Ye Chen, on the day when the two armies of Xiangfu Kingdom send troops in the northwest, the Far East Navy of Xiangfu Kingdom will land from Haizhou.Haizhou is only four to five hundred miles away from Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty. The fall of Haizhou will surely shake the Song Dynasty court. It is only a matter of time before Xiangfu Kingdom takes it down.
