Eight hundred and eighty-fifth chapters like a broken bamboo complex Yanyun
As the saying goes, when a large army travels, it blocks the sky and the sun. Once you leave Yanmen Pass, you can clearly see the desolate scene outside the pass.
The land outside the Pass has fallen into the hands of the Liao people for hundreds of years. Although some Han family members were born in the Liao land, they were relatively suppressed by the Liao people.
If the Song Dynasty was a prosperous scene where men farmed and women weaved, then the Liao Dynasty was a vast and desolate land.
Especially outside Yanmen Pass, there is a place where the two countries have been at war all year round, so few people will live here. Even if the relations between Song and Liao have eased in recent years, there are still very few people who are willing to settle here.
What's more, in the past few years, the Liao people were destroyed by the Jin people, and the sixteen states of Yanyun fell into the hands of the Jin people. The outside of the pass, which itself was a desolate place, became even more desolate.
This time when the army left the pass, they first headed towards Shuozhou. Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, Shuozhou, Huanzhou, and Yunzhou were the closest to Yanmen Pass. According to Chu Yi's plan, no matter how the Jin people responded, he would go all the way.
Pushing across and conquering the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, if there is still strength left, even breaking into the Jinren Kingdom is not impossible.
Not long after the land of Shuozhou fell into the hands of the Jin people, Wanyan Xi, as the commander-in-chief of the land of Yanyun, naturally made certain adjustments and arrangements for the defense of the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Although he did not take the Song Dynasty seriously in his heart, who made Shuozhou, Yunzhou, and Huanzhou the closest states to Yanmen Pass? If the Song Dynasty wanted to go out for the Northern Expedition, these three states would be the first to go.
Therefore, Wanyan Xi did not lose his ability and stationed 5,000 soldiers and horses in these three states in each state.
Of course, among the five thousand soldiers and horses, one thousand were elite Jin people, while the others were soldiers of the Liao people and Han people who surrendered to the Jin people.
The three states combined have fifteen thousand soldiers and horses, including three thousand gold men. With such strength, unless the Song Dynasty sends tens of thousands of troops to attack the three states with thunderous force, they can at least hold on until the army comes for reinforcements.
Now the general manager of Shuozhou, Qi Shi Lie Ya, was sent by Wanyan Xibuhe to take charge of Shuozhou as a general of the Jin Kingdom. His ability is not bad, but Qi Shi Lie Ya has a cruel temperament.
So he allowed his soldiers to act tyrannically in the land of Shuozhou. It can be said that in the land of Shuozhou, the people are filled with resentment and the people have been bitter for a long time.
It is a pity that after hundreds of years of enslavement, many Han people in the North have lost their blood. Even if the Jin people are brutal, few people dare to resist.
On this day, Qi Shi Lieya was enjoying the beauties presented by his subordinates in his mansion. But before he could finish his enjoyment, there were soldiers shouting hurriedly from outside the door: "General, the military situation is urgent, the military situation is urgent."
When Qi Shi Lieya came out of the room with a scowl on his face, the soldier didn't care how ugly Qi Shi Lieya's face was, and quickly handed the report to Qi Shi Lieya.
Qi Shi Liya was about to attack, but when he glanced at the military report, he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said with a look of shock on his face: "The Song people have come out of seclusion, how is this possible?"
Obviously Qi Shi Lieya's first reaction was disbelief in the news of the Song army's large-scale departure from Guan and the Northern Expedition mentioned in the military newspaper. However, the military newspaper in his hand clearly stated that no one dared to joke about such a thing.
The most important thing is that the military report was obviously delayed. According to the time calculation in the military report, if nothing unexpected happens, the Song army leaving the customs will arrive at Shuozhou City tonight at the latest.
Qi Shi Lieya looked at the sky and saw that the sun had already set, which meant that the Song army might have approached Shuozhou City at this moment.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Shi Liya almost screamed: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you put on your armor for me, general?"
Soon, the desolate sound of the horn spread throughout Shuozhou City, and in Shuozhou City, many Jin soldiers scattered around looked puzzled when they heard the call of the horn.
However, these soldiers are elites after all. Even though their fighting spirit has been sapped during this period of time in Shuozhou City, as elites, their reactions are still quite fast. In about half an hour, nearly a thousand Jin Army soldiers
They gathered in the school grounds.
Looking at the nearly a thousand elite soldiers under his command, Qi Shi Lieya felt confident and rushed towards the city wall.
At the same time, Chu Yi's army came in force, and they could already see Shuozhou City from a distance.
Shuozhou City is not too tall, but it is not comparable to ordinary cities. It is almost a militarized city. Obviously, for so many years, the Sixteenth State of Yanyun has been away, and the Song and Liao wars have caused many cities in the Yanyun land to be destroyed.
Focus on militarization.
When the army stopped, Chu Yi stepped out of the carriage and his eyes fell on the Shuozhou City in the distance. Beside him, Wanyan Zonghan's face was obviously not very good-looking.
Although it was said that the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was taken from the Liao people, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was now the territory of the Jin people. As a result, he had to watch helplessly as Chu Yi's Song army was about to
Attack the sixteen states of Yanyun.
The most important thing is that Wanyan Zonghan is not optimistic about their Jin soldiers at all, because Wanyan Zonghan does not think that the soldiers defending the city can defend the city under this powerful and amazing army.
Not to mention anything else, even if these Song soldiers did not take action, Chu Yi's venerable heavenly beings had already destined that their little power of the Jin Kingdom in the land of Yanyun would not be able to stop them at all.
Chu Yi clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Nianhan, why don't you come forward to recruit the Shuozhou City guards to surrender, so as not to cause more killings."
Wanyan Zonghan just glanced at Chu Yi and snorted coldly. It was a delusion for him to recruit Shuozhou garrison. They Jin people were never afraid of death. Besides, Wanyan Zonghan was defeated and fell into Chu Yi's hands, so he would accept it.
However, Wanyan Zonghan couldn't do it if he wanted him to surrender on Chu Yi's behalf.
Luda on the side saw this and laughed loudly and said: "General Manager, it's just a place in Shuozhou, so there is no need for the gold thief Nianhan to go and surrender. When the Sa family goes out in person, see how I can destroy Shuozhou City with a cup of tea."
"
Chu Yi looked at the people who were asking for a fight, smiled slightly, and said to Lu Da: "Since Master Lu said so, then this battle will be fought by Master Lu. I will order people to warm the wine here and wait until Master Lu breaks the city.
Come back and celebrate the master!"
Luda laughed loudly when he heard this, holding a crescent shovel in one hand, strode out, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, follow me to destroy the city."
Immediately thousands of soldiers and horses in the vanguard followed Ruda and headed straight for Shuozhou City.
On the city wall, Qi Shi Lieya, who had just arrived on the city wall not long ago, saw the dark Song army below, and his heart suddenly trembled.
To be honest, the Jin people really didn't have much experience in defending the city, and Qi Shi Lieya's first thought when facing this situation was to go out of the city and charge for a while to give the Song army a disincentive.
But his reason told him that if he did this, he would most likely end up with no return.
A Liao general stood next to Qi Shi Lie Ya, with a somewhat flattering look on his face and said: "General, don't worry, with this fortified city, even if the Song army has a large number of soldiers and horses, it is not impossible for us to hold on until the reinforcements come from the general manager."
arrival."
Qi Shi Lie Ya glanced at the Liao general, nodded slightly, and suddenly said to him: "Yelu Qingguang, I will leave the army to your command. Are you sure you can hold Shuozhou City? If you can hold on to the big
When the reinforcements from the General Manager arrive, I will ask for credit for you."
Yelu Qingguang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "General, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to defend the city..."
At this time, a shout like thunder came: "Listen, no gold thief, your Grandpa Luda is here, who dares to fight with me."
The shouting and shouting were really like thunder. With Ruda as the center, dozens of city defenders were directly shocked and fainted. Qishi Lieya and Yelu Qingguang couldn't help but look astonished when they saw Ruda.
Such a big change.
Seeing that Ruda was charging into the army and no one could stop him, Qi Shi Lieya couldn't help suppressing the fear in his heart. He mustered up the courage to swing his sword and rushed towards Ruda and said: "Bald donkey, wait until I kill you!"
"
"Um"
With a cold snort, Luda's eyes narrowed, and he locked Qi's Lieya with real murderous intent. He saw the crescent shovel in Luda's hand draw an arc, and with a roar, Qi's Lieya was blown away like a rag doll.
The shot flew out and hit the city wall hard. It twitched a few times and then lost its breath.
Qi Shi Lieya was just a strong man at the level of a grand master. Facing a blow from the powerful Luda Celestial Being, he couldn't even take a single move.
Luda killed Qi Shi Lieya who was guarding the city with one move. Suddenly the golden crowd was leaderless, and even the entire soldiers and horses guarding the city were in chaos.
Especially Yelu Qingguang, who saw Qi's Fierce Fang being killed by Ruda with one blow, was struck by Ruda's murderous gaze, and his body went limp and almost fell to the ground.
With a pop, Yelu Qingguang shouted as Luda Crescent Shovel fell: "Master, spare your life, Yelu Qingguang, please surrender!"
With the surrender of Yelu Qingguang, Qi Shi Lieya was beheaded, and the leaders of Shuozhou City were completely defeated. It was just a matter of time. Except for a very small number of Jin soldiers who were still resisting, other Liao and Han soldiers
Everyone abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Most of the thousands of soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty had climbed up the city wall and began to orderly clear out the recalcitrant Jin soldiers and accept the surrendered Liao and Han soldiers.
Shuozhou City was destroyed.
When Wanyan Zonghan saw the fluttering Jin Kingdom flag falling from the city wall, he couldn't help but sigh. Although he had expected such a result, when he actually saw this scene, Wanyan Zonghan still felt a sense of loneliness.
"Hahaha, Chief Manager, Luca Ruda has lived up to his command. Shuozhou City has been destroyed, so I'm here to give you the order!"
Chu Yi stepped forward, helped Lu Da up, stretched out his hand to get the warm water and wine and handed it to Lu Da, saying: "Master Lu is really a fierce general. Congratulations to Master Lu for the return of Shuozhou City to the Central Plains!
"
Ruda's heart was filled with passion, and he took the water and drank it down in one gulp. It is conceivable that Ruda must be a prominent figure in the history of the future. After all, it was Ruda who conquered Shuozhou for the first time during the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty.
The city of Shuozhou was defeated, followed by Huanzhou and Yunzhou. In just half a month, the three states were defeated one after another. In front of Chu Yi's army, the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom who defended the city did not resist at all.
The reason why it took so much time to conquer the three states was that most of the time was spent on traveling and receiving territory.
Just when Chu Yi led the army to conquer one state city after another non-stop, Wanyan Zongwang, who was ordered to go south, finally arrived at the seat of the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, Youzhou and Beiping City.
Beiping City in Youzhou was the seat of the Jin people's rule over the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. Wanyan Xi, the general manager of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, appointed by Wu Qimai, was stationed in Beiping City.
At this moment, many soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom gathered in Beiping City. Not long ago, Wanyan Loushi led nearly 10,000 elite troops who had withdrawn from Taiyuan City and rushed to Beiping to join Wanyan Xi without losing his troops.
Now Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Xibusha went out of the city to welcome Wanyan Zongwang who was coming south.
The soldiers and horses led by Wanyan Zongwang can be said to be elite, especially the 20,000 elite cavalry and the galloping horses. The momentum is truly astonishing.
Seeing such a situation, Wanyan Lou's room and Wanyan Xi's hearts couldn't help but fall. In fact, in the past few days, the two of them had received a series of military reports.
They were confused and uneasy.
That envelope of military reports was filled with news of the fall of various prefectures and cities. Now the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun had fallen to eight prefectures, and it could be said that almost half of them had fallen into the hands of the Song people.
The rumors about Chu Yi were so miraculous that just like Chu Yi was an omnipotent and invincible god of war, the two of them simply did not dare to lead their troops to stop Chu Yi's troops.
Now they finally had reinforcements, and the reinforcements were a respected veteran like Wanyan Zongwang. Coupled with the elite army, they at least had hope of stopping Chu Yi.
As the commander-in-chief of the army appointed by Wu Qimai, according to Wu Qimai's order, on the day Wanyan Zongwang arrived in Yanyun, all the officials and generals of the Jin Kingdom obeyed Wanyan Zongwang's dispatch.
He has the right to kill first and report later.
Even if Wanyan's habits were not lost, Wanyan and Lou's family were both strong men in the clan, and they did not dare to maintain their status and be rude when facing Wanyan Zongwang.
"Meet the Marshal!"
The two of them personally welcomed Wanyan Zongwang into Beiping City.
In the solemn mansion, Wanyan Zongwang saw that Wanyan was not losing his temper. Wanyan Loushi and other generals, and dozens of generals gathered together. It can be said that among the hundreds of thousands of troops, there are only those who are qualified to appear here.
Ninety percent of the generals are here now.
Wanyan Zongwang glanced at the generals below, and finally looked at Wanyan Loushi and said: "Wanyan Loushi, you have interacted with Chu Yi's subordinates, so it's up to you to tell me, Chu Yi's subordinates
How strong are the troops?"
Although Wanyan Loushi did not fight against Chu Yi, but was frightened by the strength shown by Chu Yi and others and fled thousands of miles away, but looking at everyone present, only Wanyan Loushi had experienced Chu Yi up close.
He has a large army, so Wanyan Zongwang can only choose to ask Wanyan Lou's room.
Wanyan Lou took a deep breath, saluted Wanyan Zongwang and said: "Commander, Chu Yi's troops are actually not elite, but the opponent's army is full of strong men. If not, Zong Han, Yin
Even if the four gods and gods join forces, they will not be trapped in the enemy's hands, and they will not even have the ability to escape. Therefore, my subordinates must remind the commander that if he is not confident enough, he must not fight with the opponent head-on."
The generals present could be said to be the backbone and even the top leaders of the Jin army. They all knew that Wanyan Zonghan and others were captured by Chu Yi's troops.
Now that Wanyan Loushi was mentioned again, many people still had a look of displeasure on their faces.
One of the generals snorted coldly: "Those Song people must have used some shameful means to plot against Commander Nianhan. Otherwise, how could those weak Song people have retained Commander Nianhan?"
They are so handsome."
Wanyan Zongwang frowned. Although he was mentally prepared when he came, after hearing what Wanyan Loushi said, Wanyan Zongwang couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Fortunately, Wu Qi bought him the order to bring two heavenly beings from the army, otherwise, he really didn't know what to do.
If you do the math, including Wan Yan Lou Shi, Wan Yan Xi Bu Lose and Wan Yan Xi Bu Lose, one of the heavenly beings under his command, if they are fully counted, they will have six heavenly beings.
If it were in the past, if there were six heavenly beings, Wanyan Zongwang would have dared to lead an army on a rampage. If he encountered an unbreakable army or city, he would just take action directly with the powerful heavenly beings.
But now Wanyan Zongwang is unsure. After all, being able to keep Wanyan Zonghan's four heavenly beings means that Chu Yi's troops are stronger. It seems that there is no hope of victory for the six heavenly beings.
.
Just saying that Chu Yi has seven or eight gods or more, Wanyan Zongwang is skeptical. In fact, in Wanyan Zongwang's heart, he doubts that the reason why Wanyan Zonghan and others were captured was actually because of Chu.
