Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 274 What to do?
Although Gong Chengshu was terrified in his heart, he was still pleasantly surprised: "At that time, as long as the Celestial Master kills the commander-in-chief of the third army of the Song Dynasty, the Song army will naturally collapse and retreat."

Chen Jingyuan smiled slightly and said: "Why does this deity want to protect this corrupt Southern Han country! This deity will not do these things. Since this deity has been promoted to the innate realm, it is easy to go back to Kaifeng and sneak into the Song Palace. Yuan Shengong controlled the Great Song Emperor, and this Great Song Kingdom will become the second Southern Han Kingdom of the deity. My Tianyi is parasitic in the Great Song Kingdom, and its development and growth will far exceed the current scale."

Gong Chengshu was also ecstatic when he heard the words. After thinking for a while, he said cautiously, "Master! What will the disciple do now?"

Chen Jingyuan said: "Let that little Liu Yu be the emperor of doomsday for a few days, and let him find a way to guard the capital by himself. What you have to do now is to collect all the gold, silver and jewelry wealth in the palace and even the capital, and transfer them to Tianyi. Holy Island. As for the Black Cavalry Legion itself, it has its own arrangements."

Gong Chengshu respectfully said yes, and took the order to leave.

Although Liu Yu was only a puppet emperor and had no ambitions, he was used to living a life of rich clothes and fine food after all, and in name the Southern Han Kingdom was still ruled by his Liu family.These days, after hearing that the Han army was retreating steadily and was about to hit the Southern Han Kingdom, Liu Yan was also very worried.

Just now, when Gong Chengshu arrived, Yanming had told the courtiers that now he was given power to find a way to use his only army to fight against the army of Song State. Liu Yu was stunned for a long time, then he was at a loss for a long time, and finally did not know what was going on. Suddenly, he felt as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He called all the civil and military officials to discuss how to defend his family and country against the Song army.

A group of people with twisted minds, an ignorant eunuch and an emperor who was raised as a waste can discuss what decision to make. The group of people have been arguing for two days, but there is no result.

The next day, the three armies of the Song Dynasty made an appointment to join forces outside the capital, and then surrounded the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty.

On the third day, Liu Yu did not know who had listened to the idea, and suddenly showed great courage, against all opinions, and ordered Li Chengwo, the governor of the capital, to lead the remaining [-] troops in the capital to take the initiative to leave the city. Last Stand.

The Song army of the three groups did not expect that the Han army dared to go out to fight in the city. They were overjoyed and would not be afraid.But everyone knows that the combat power of the Han army is far from being comparable to that of the Song army.

Ye Chen sent someone to tell Pan Mei and Zhao Zan about the existence of the Black Cavalry Legion yesterday. Pan Mei herself knew about the existence of the Black Cavalry Legion, so Song Jun had already prepared a battle with the Black Cavalry Legion today. Probably the most decent field battle ever.

The Song army quickly formed a formation, with the cavalry leading the charge and rushing back and forth, followed by the infantry in battle formation, ready to charge. Suddenly, the troops in front of the Southern Han army suddenly spread out to both sides, and the black cavalry regiment was nowhere to be seen. However, there was a row of hundreds of elephants forming a horizontal formation, rushing towards the Song army boldly.This is the "Elephant Army" that the Southern Han Dynasty is proud of and regarded as a magic weapon.I saw that each elephant had ten of the most brave soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty, wearing armor, holding swords and spears, their faces painted red and black, making ghosts, and screaming in their mouths to help their prestige.

Coach Li Chengwo personally beat the drums to support the battle, commanding the elephants to stride forward one by one in front of the Song army.

Most of the soldiers of the Song Army were dumbfounded for a moment. They were born in the Central Plains or grew up in the north. They have never even seen an elephant, let alone this kind of elephant formation?Seeing these behemoths rushing fiercely at the moment, he didn't know what to do. How could the spear and sword in his hand be able to resist these ferocious beasts?

In the middle of the Song army is Pan Mei's army, and on the left and right are Ye Chen and Zhao Zan's troops.These elephant armies are facing the Pan Mei army in the middle.

The cavalry and horses at the front of the middle road were startled by the elephant and dodged backwards without being controlled by the cavalry. Then the middle road soldiers panicked and had to fight and retreat.As a result, Zhao Zan's troops on the left had to retreat.

Seeing this, the Southern Han army's morale was high, so they followed behind the elephant formation, taking advantage of the momentum to cover up and kill, and soon killed and injured thousands of Pan Mei's men.

Li Chengwo was overjoyed, and said arrogantly to the soldiers: "With my elephant soldiers here, it is better than a million soldiers. Why should the Song army be afraid? From then on, our Han country will have no worries."

As a result, at this moment, burning rockets with tens of thousands of arrows suddenly shot out from Ye Chen's army on the right, shooting towards the elephant army in a parabola as if covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

The huge and clumsy bodies of those elephants just became the target of the Song army's arrows. The elephant's skin is rough and thick, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to break through its thick skin and really hurt it.But these arrows were on fire and hit the left elephant, which made the elephant frightened and jumped wildly, not daring to move forward.The warriors on the elephant were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another. Before they could get up, they were trampled into a pulp by the foot of the washbasin-sized elephant.

The wounded and frightened elephants, seeing the obstacles in front of them, immediately turned around and ran around. The soldiers of the Han army who were following the elephants were unable to dodge, and were knocked to pieces by these giants, and they were thrown off their feet.All of a sudden, corpses lay all over the ground, ghosts were crying and wolves were howling, and the whole team was in chaos.

When Pan Mei saw the opportunity, the complex look on her face disappeared for a moment, but then she swung the commander's flag in person, and the troops on the middle road of the Song Dynasty rushed towards the Han chariot like a raging wave.The East Army led by Zhao Zan did not dare to fall behind, and rushed forward, but Ye Chen's three thousand cavalry rushed towards the Han army as soon as they fired rockets.

There was a "Great Elephant Army" in the Southern Han Dynasty. The Huaxia Weifu intelligence officer had already reported this matter to Ye Chen. How could Ye Chen not be prepared? Ye Chen had already prepared these rocket heads that could be ignited when he attacked Shaozhou. Well, I don't think it really came in handy today.

The Han army was defeated, and the soldiers cried for their fathers and mothers, and ran away with their heads in their arms.The Song army wielded their swords, slashed and slashed fiercely, and within two hours, they wiped out 2 horses from the Han army.Li Chengwo fled back to the city in embarrassment with 2 last Han troops, and decisively closed the city gate.Even if the remaining nearly [-] Han troops outside had no fighting spirit, they all dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

After the prisoners were taken in, it was already dark, and the Song soldiers were not in a hurry to attack the city.Instead, return to the camp five miles away to rest.

Pan Mei was first repelled by the Southern Han 'Elephant Army' today, and finally turned back by the army led by Ye Chen, feeling quite uncomfortable.The more I thought in my heart, I must be the first to break through the capital of Nanhan.

After he frowned and pondered, he ordered people to bring in Shaozhou prefect Yue Fengguang and guard Zou Wenyuan.

When they saw Pan Mei, they quickly prostrated themselves on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy repeatedly.Pan Mei sneered, and said to Yue Fengguang and Yue Fengguang: "It's not difficult to want to live forever. As far as I know, the emperor of your Han Kingdom is actually a puppet, and the demon Taoist Chen Jingyuan and Gong Chengshu control the court. However, I just asked Several captives knew that it was Liu Wei's order to send a large army out of the city to fight in the field. It seems that Liu Wei still has a few powers left. You Er can go to the capital for this commander, contact Han Emperor Liu Wei, and deal with him. It is said that the emperor of Song Dynasty has a decree. If he can break the gate of Tiancheng and surrender, my Dasong will only kill Tianyi's demon way to avenge him, and he himself can keep him rich and honored for life. If you two can do this, Just make a great contribution, and this commander will guarantee that you will be promoted to rank."

Zou Wenyuan didn't dare to say anything, Yue Fengguang promised, and was sent to the front of the city as an envoy, Nan Han didn't shoot him, but dragged him to the top of the city in a basket.

In the end, the [-]-strong army and the "elephant army" that relied on were defeated outside the city. The Southern Han court was in shock. The eunuch who has no knots and speaks in a sissy way is a court lady who wears a lot of makeup, wears gorgeous clothes, and only knows how to show her head. When this disaster is approaching, who can share her worries?
Just when Liu Yan was sitting alone in the palace, hugging the "Mei Zhu" and weeping, a young eunuch came to report, saying that Yue Fengguang, the prefect of Shaozhou, was asking to see him as an envoy of the Song Army.Hearing this news, Liu Wei is like a dying person who is about to drown in the vast ocean and suddenly finds a bundle of straw. He feels that Yue Fengguang's arrival at this time may bring him a glimmer of life and hope. Light enters the palace.

Yue Fengguang told Liu Yan that the Song army was powerful, and the soldiers were fine and brave. The places they attacked were as if they were destroyed, and the existing troops of the Southern Han Dynasty could not compete at all.If you insist on fighting with it, you can only hit the stone with the pebble, sweep the snow and fill the well.

Therefore, we should judge the situation, throw away our illusions, and return to the Song Dynasty as soon as possible.Even though he could no longer be an emperor by doing that, he would be able to keep rich clothes and food, and be rich and honored for life.If you hesitate any longer, you will be too late to regret if you are captured by the Song army when the city is broken.Then she whispered to him that Pan Mei asked him to secretly send someone to open the city gate. Afterwards, he would kill Tianyi for him and avenge the Liu family's royal family for three generations.

What he said made Liu Yu feel awe-inspiring, like falling into an ice cave, but at the same time his mind became active, but what he was worried about was where to find his confidant to help him open the city gate.He hesitated again and again, and was about to agree with Yue Fengguang's opinion first, and then discuss and find a way together.

At this time, Li Tuo, the military observer of the Sixth Army, rushed into the palace in a hurry.

This Li Tuo was a veteran of the three dynasties of the Southern Han Dynasty and the father-in-law of Liu Yan.Both of his daughters were concubines of Liu Yan, the eldest daughter was named a noble concubine, and the second daughter was named a beauty.In the past, Gong Chengshu was in power, and the lives of royal relatives like him were not very good.But now that he heard that Gong Chengshu had returned to power under Liu Yan, he was overjoyed and ran over.Now is an extraordinary period, the eunuchs and guards in the palace were panicked but they didn't stop him, so they just entered the palace.

When he heard that Liu Yu had summoned Yue Fengguang, he had some guesses in his heart, fearing that he would be confused, he hurried to the harem.

He believed that the city walls of the capital were high and strong, and he heard that the Song Kingdom was restless, and the Southern Tang Dynasty intended to send troops. He believed that Song Kingdom would retreat as long as they stood firm for a while, so he firmly opposed surrender, and suggested that more rolling stones and wood should be prepared on the city walls. , Organize the troops and people in the city, build deep ditches and high forts, and stick to it desperately.

Liu Yu has always respected this father-in-law very much, and this time he listened to his opinion.But who will be the city guard coach?Throughout the dynasties of Chinese and military, there is really no general with a little bit of strategy and prestige to send.
