Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1117

"What did you say, who is here?" Lu Fengyun couldn't believe his ears.

"General, the commander-in-chief of the party is here!" The guard flashed his eyes and said again.

Lu Fengyun's face changed slightly, he stood up abruptly, Dang came in, how could Dang Jin appear here at this time?

"Dang Jin was not at ease with me, so he came here in person." Lu Fengyun thought to himself.

Thinking of this, a trace of panic flashed on Lu Fengyun's face, but then a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"How many people did the commander bring here?" Lu Fengyun asked.

"There are only a hundred people." Said the soldier.

"There are only about a hundred people..." Lu Fengyun breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Go and tell Wang Dong to bring all my personal soldiers over and wait outside my tent."

While speaking, Lu Fengyun walked out, ready to meet Dang Jin.The soldier next to him said: "Yes, General." But suddenly a dagger slipped out of his sleeve, piercing Lu Fengyun's back like lightning. At the same time, Lu Fengyun's mouth was firmly blocked by the soldier, The face was terrified and unbelievable, except for the low humming sound, no louder sound could be made.

While feeling pain in his lower back, Lu Fengyun wanted to resist, but bursts of numbness continued to spread from his lower back. In an instant, half of his body was a little numb. Lu Fengyun, who is not weak, had already lost the power to resist.The numbness slowly spread to the whole body, Lu Fengyun could no longer stand still, and fell to the ground, the dagger was pulled out from the soldier's hand, and under the firelight, the dagger shone with a faint blue light.

This poison was so powerful, in a moment, Lu Fengyun could not move his body, could not speak, he just opened his eyes and died.

Lu Fengyun's eyes gradually lost their luster.A general under the command of the Northwest Frontier Army, he died silently in his tent, at the hands of a soldier he trusted.

That night, [-] fine riders from the northwestern frontier army of Chengtong County, among hundreds of officers, Lu Fengyun's cronies and some officers who showed great yearning for Ye Chen and Xiangfu Kingdom were also purged in one fell swoop. Dang Jin came in person, relaxed He completely controlled the [-] fine cavalry under him.

……

……

When it was gradually sloping to the west, on the top of the city of Zhending Mansion, Zhao Zan and Hebei East Road turned far away, so that Liu Xingwang saw tens of thousands of Liao troops receding from his field of vision like a tide.

At the bottom of the city, there was still residual flames burning, emitting black smoke. The Song army on the top of the city pushed the corpses down the city, hung the mace and other defensive objects on the top of the wall again, and piled up sandbags inside the female wall. , Prepare rolling logs, oil pans, cobblestones and other defensive objects, and hurry up to repair the trebuchets, giant guns, crossbows and other defensive weapons.

In the wilderness below, dark red blood and corpses are intertwined into a tragic picture. Most of the corpses belong to the people of the Song Dynasty who were driven to attack the city. The moaning has become powerless, countless corpses and dying people are lying on the field, and farther away are the captives of the people who are not dead but almost desperate, and the Liao army with murderous intentions and ambitions.

Liu Xingwang and Zhao Zan stood on the top of the wall, looking at the Liao army camp on the other side. During the battle, Zhao Zan, as the commander of the first army, personally participated in the battle on the wall and beheaded dozens of Liao soldiers with his own hands. There were mottled bloodstains, and a corner of the armor had been scorched black.

The fierce battle has lasted for nearly a month. When seeing the countless tragic scenes on and off the city wall, people's emotions are no longer compassion, and their bodies and minds have become numb.[-] of the [-] defenders in the city died in one month, and there are still more than [-] people left. For the defenders, the force is enough, but the food is almost gone.This is no secret in the city, so for every Song army and the people in the city, the awareness of death and the hidden fear, the bloodthirsty impulse and the lingering fear after being injured will all be mixed together, and finally turned into one. despair.

"I hope that the reinforcements from the imperial court will come as soon as possible, so that we will not be killed by the Liao people, and we will also starve to death." Liu Xingwang said with a wry smile.

Zhao Zan said with a smile: "Master Liu, don't worry, we won't be starved to death, because before starving to death, I will open the city gate, lead the army and the Liao people to fight, at most kill some Liao people, and then be killed by the Liao army That's all." He casually talked about how he was going to die, and casually took a pair of bows and arrows from the soldiers next to him, and walked to the city wall.Looking at the groan below, aiming for a moment, he fired an arrow.

Among the corpses below, a citizen of the Song Kingdom who had had his leg chopped off but was still alive was shot in the throat by an arrow, and finally he died and was relieved.

Liu Xingwang stood there staring blankly at the corpses below for a long time, then finally took a step back, waved his hands, and said, "Marshal, they are living in too much pain, let the soldiers choose the civilians who are seriously injured and can't be saved, Give them a ride..."

Zhao Zan nodded, and a soldier next to him went to convey Zhao Zan's order. Soon some soldiers who were more accurate in archery picked up their bows and arrows with numb faces, and began to shoot at the people who were still alive in the city. Although Liu Xingwang said that he would be seriously injured The people of the city were shot to death, but in fact the slightly injured people could not survive, and even the people in the city would not open the city gate to save people, so all the injured people were shot to death by the Song army... This is not to say that the city leaders The reason why the defenders are so ruthless to the people of their own country is that they have no food, and they will starve to death sooner or later.

Liu Xingwang and Zhao Zan didn't want to see this scene, so they walked down the wall.

The next day, early in the morning, the second spy from the head of the city reported to the two that nearly [-] Liao troops outside the city had left halfway, and their attack on the city had stopped.The defenders in the city thought it was the arrival of reinforcements, and the Liao army sent half of them to intercept them. Their morale soared. When the news spread, the people were ecstatic and rushed to tell each other.

They didn't know that the reinforcements from the Song court in the south hadn't arrived, and even the emperor of Song and the prime minister never thought of sending people to support or rescue the Song people in Zhendingfu city at this time.The strong reinforcements from the Xiangfu Kingdom from four to five thousand miles away from the west have already arrived, but now the reinforcements are no longer reinforcements, and the Song Army may no longer be the Song Army
Even if there is no war, the people in the city still have to eat, and the food supply is still decreasing.Zhao Zan selected some daredevils to put down the city wall in a hanging basket in the dark night, and sneaked out of the encirclement of the Liao army to inquire about intelligence.

……

……

At the same time, at the foot of Heihong Mountain, Ye Chen's Chinese army camp.

On the high sentinel tower, the vigilant sentinel suddenly noticed that a fast horse was galloping towards the snow field in the distance. The horse stepped on the snow, and snow fog rose up.The sentinel quickly issued a signal, and several cavalry rushed out of the camp gate to meet the knight in the distance.

"Who, stop, rush into the camp for no reason, kill without mercy!" The cavalry who came out to meet them held steel string bows and shouted in unison.

In the cold wind, Daoyi's knight reined in his horse sharply, and the horse neighed and stood up. The knight on the horse only had time to say, "I am from the Liao army camp, and I am a spy from the Ministry of Security. There is an urgent military matter to see His Majesty, hurry up!" After saying that, the man fell off his horse and passed out on the snow, unconscious.

Surprised, several cavalrymen jumped off their horses, helped the man up, put him on the horse, and rushed to the camp. Someone had already reported to Ye Chen in advance and invited a military doctor to treat him.

This person's name is Huo Yuankai, and he is Shi Fatty's number one confidant, and a confidant of Yu Jianye, the envoy of the Liao State Privy Council's Envoy Liema. He sent him away from the Liao army camp. When he set off from Zhending Mansion, he brought three war horses with him, but now the horse that was able to carry him alive to the foot of Heihong Mountain was the one in front of him. Five days and five nights, Huo Yuankai didn't sleep, he finished eating, drinking and lazing immediately, exhausted the two horses, and finally arrived at the foot of Heihong Mountain.And after he arrived, his mind relaxed, and he couldn't hold on immediately, and passed out.

……

……

With a bang, Ye Chen punched him, and the big case in front of him was instantly shattered into countless fragments, and the piles of documents, pens, papers and inkstones piled up on the desk suddenly poured out on the ground. Ye Chen was extremely angry. He suspected Guo Wuwei, but never He never doubted Dang Jin, let alone thought that Dang Jin turned out to be a fake surrender, and that Song and Liao joined forces just to kill him, which really surprised him.And according to the news sent by Yu Jianye, he had tried to send the news to the Ministry of Security through secret channels as early as half a month ago, but why didn't the news reach him.There was a problem with the security department, or Shangguan Bingyun had a problem.

Luo Yaoshun, Tang Xingwu and Hei Yue who were stationed here all knew that something big must have happened, otherwise Ye Chen wouldn't lose his composure like this, and they had never even seen Ye Chen lose his composure like this before.The eyes of the three of them were all fixed on the slightly closed eyes in the big tent, but the murderous intent on their bodies was like the real Ye Chen.Tang Xingwu's expression was the same as that of the two, but he secretly sighed in his heart: "It seems that it must be the information sent by Yu Jianye who rescued Shi Fat back then." For some reason, Tang Xingwu did not send Report this important intelligence to the people behind him.

Ye Chen didn't show them the information. Until now, the three of them were still at a loss, but they all understood that the news brought by the spy named Huo Yuankai must be earth-shattering, but what happened?
Ye Chen turned around a few times, walked to the huge battle sand table in the center of the big tent, put his hands on the edge, and carefully watched the current fighting situation between the two sides.

Dangjin is a false surrender, so Guo Wuwei must also be a false surrender.That is to say, the 11 Song army that originally belonged to his own side instantly became his enemy.Perhaps some or even many of the generals and soldiers of the Song Dynasty did not agree to rebel against themselves, but these people will definitely be ruthlessly purged by Dang Jin and Guo Wuwei, and most of them will also be deterred and follow Dang Jin and Guo Wuwei to deal with themselves.
