Zhao Fan then opened the granaries and treasury, distributed food and weapons to the people of Xuzhou, and gave them the task of guarding Xuzhou.
Zhao Fan would not worry about these people betraying him, because they already had the blood of Jin officials in their hands, and they had also taken the weapons and food from the treasury. The Jin government could not spare them, and they did not dare to betray him again.
All this was done in just one day, and then Zhao Fan took 40,000 elite troops to fight Wanyan Chenglin.
At this time, Wanyan Chenglin was still there stupidly waiting for the news of the fall of Xuzhou. He didn't know that Xuzhou had fallen, but Zhao Fan also rushed towards him with all his troops.
Wanyan Chenglin was shocked. He knew that his position was exposed, and his intentions were also exposed. In front of Zhao Fan, he was like an innocent child, and he didn't even hide a single secret.
Just when Wanyan Chenglin was frightened, Zhao Fan led his army to kill him.
"What, Song Jun is here so soon!"
Wanyan Chenglin couldn't believe the speed of the Song army's march. You must know that this is the territory of the Jin Kingdom. Don't they need to be vigilant and vigilant?
How could he know that the situation was over? Now the Song Dynasty has sent 600,000 troops to the Northern Expedition. What kind of courage is this? Not to mention that the current Jin Kingdom cannot bear it, even the Jin Kingdom in its heyday cannot bear it. No one understands this.
Under this situation, not only countless Jin people voluntarily surrendered to the Song Dynasty, but also many Jin soldiers surrendered to the Song Dynasty and led the way for the Song army. Is this speed not fast?
Wanyan Chenglin hurriedly organized his troops to fight. In order to calm the morale of the army and boost morale, he promised his soldiers: "Brave Dajin warriors, if you capture and kill Zhao Fan, the leader of the Song army, you will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and you will be promoted to the third level. If you capture and kill,
The generals of the Song Army will be rewarded with thousands of gold coins and promoted to one rank."
】
After hearing this, the Jin soldiers under his command immediately regained some morale, and looked at the Song army eager to try.
Zhao Fan learned that the other party offered such a reward, which was not inclusive. Zhao Fan also promised the soldiers: "Soldiers, whoever captures and kills Yan Chenglin will be rewarded with a hundred pigs. Whoever captures and kills the Jin Kingdom general will be rewarded with ten pigs."
"Hahaha,,,"
When the soldiers of the Song Army heard such a reward, they couldn't help laughing. The meaning of ridicule could not be hidden no matter how hard they tried.
The officers and soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin couldn't help but feel angry and ashamed after hearing the ridicule of the Song Army opposite them. They were angry because the Song Army was rude and insulted, and they were ashamed because the officialdom of the Kingdom of Jin was so bad now. Even they themselves often treated those who were officials.
Likened to a pig, you can't blame others entirely.
When Wanyan Chenglin saw that Zhao Fan actually gave him the same reward as the pigs, and there were only a hundred pigs, he was so angry that he bared his teeth. He was furious and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me and kill the enemy."
After saying that, he took the lead and led the troops into battle himself regardless of his own safety.
When Zhao Fan saw that Wanyan Chenglin had directly engaged in hand-to-hand combat, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth with a sneer and said, "The head coach of the first army actually did it himself. If you don't lose, who will lose?"
Sure enough, under the command of Zhao Fan, the Song army defeated the Jin soldiers who were already low-spirited. Even Wanyan Chenglin was very brave and fierce, but it was difficult to save the decline.
With no choice, Wanyan Chenglin could only fight and retreat, looking for opportunities to escape.
Zhao Fan saw that the direction Wanyan Chenglin intended to escape was to the north, so he ordered his people to slow down the siege and allowed Wanyan Chenglin to break out and escape, and then ordered his people to take advantage of the situation in the city behind to cover up the killing.
After some maneuvers, the Song army killed the Jin soldiers behind them at a very small cost. They were crying for their fathers and mothers. They only hated their parents for losing two legs.
As for all this, Wanyan Chenglin had no choice but to feel pain in his heart.
Just as Wanyan Chenglin was escaping from Zhao Fan's pursuit with four to five thousand troops and trying to take a breath, he heard a loud shout: "Golden Dog, where are you going!"
Wanyan Chenglin was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse. He looked for the sound and saw tens of thousands of Song troops rushing out from the mountains and forests nearby. The leader's flag also had the character "Zhao".
It turned out that Zhao Kui, who had been ordered to ambush him for a long time, came out. Zhao Fan knew that as long as Wanyan Chenglin ran north, he would be intercepted by his younger brother Zhao Kui, so Zhao Fan changed his strategy. Otherwise, Wanyan Chenglin would not have been so easy.
Escape from Zhao Fan's hands.
Wanyan Chenglin saw that he was going to die today. He became angry and pointed at Zhao Kui and cursed: "You Song dogs have gone too far to bully others. I will fight with you."
Wanyan Chenglin raised his sword and slashed at the soldiers of the Song Army with a majestic momentum and superb martial arts. As soon as the sword was turned over, six or seven soldiers of the Song Army died under his sword.
When Zhao Kui saw this, he was immediately angry. He took a bow, then bent the bow and set an arrow, and shot at Wanyan Chenglin.
With a "Hugh" sound, a sharp arrow whizzed towards him. Wanyan Chenglin hurriedly blocked it with his sword. The arrow hit the sword heavily and finally fell to the ground.
With a "Hugh" sound, the arrow just fell to the ground, and another arrow was shot. This time Wanyan Chenglin was not so lucky. Although he blocked it with his knife, the arrow did not fall to the ground, but
Change direction and finally shoot him in the shoulder.
"ah."
Wanyan Chenglin was in pain, Zhao Kui put down the arrow, then clamped the horse's belly and killed Wanyan Chenglin.
Arriving in front of Wanyan Chenglin, Zhao Kui smiled disdainfully and said, "Wanyan Chenglin, how powerful is your grandfather's arrow?"
"rat."
"Hahaha,,, you, a member of the Jin Kingdom, have also been criticized by others for the shame of Jingkang back then. How many people did you kill and humiliate me? Today, I, Zhao Kui, will pay back some of the blood debt for those heroes who died."
After saying that, Zhao Kui raised his knife to chop at Wanyan Chenglin. Wanyan Chenglin subconsciously wanted to block with his knife, but then a bone-piercing pain hit him. It turned out that Zhao Kui had been hit by an arrow just now, and he raised the knife to affect the wound.
, the pain is naturally unbearable.
"ah."
When Wanyan Chenglin was in pain due to the pain, Zhao Kui's knife struck Wanyan Chenglin hard, and blood spattered all over Zhao Kui's face.
Without waiting for Wanyan Chenglin to react, Zhao Kui slashed at him with one knife after another. Wanyan Chenglin struggled to block, and was slashed five or six times on his body, with blood flowing all over his body.
"General, leave quickly."
Fortunately, Wanyan Chenglin's confidant arrived and blocked Zhao Kui, giving Wanyan Chenglin a chance to escape.
Wanyan Chenglin originally wanted to hit his horse and escape, but unfortunately the battlefield was fierce and he could not move his position. So Wanyan Chenglin got off his horse and wanted to escape.
Zhao Kui slashed with his sword several times and killed Wanyan Chenglin's beloved general. Then he targeted Wanyan Chenglin and threw the sword at him. The sword directly passed through Wanyan Chenglin's chest.
Wanyan Chenglin fell to the ground, twitched for a while, and finally closed his eyes.
As soon as Wanyan Chenglin died, the Jin soldiers lost even more fighting spirit and were immediately defeated. They were killed by the Song army like pigs chasing sheep.
