Chapter 785

As the horse's back rose and fell, Guo Ning's golden knife swayed by Li Ting's waist, and the scabbard slapped the skirt armor from time to time, making a soft bang.

The cavalry guards around Li Ting would secretly look at the golden knife when they were galloping their horses, showing expressions of awe or envy.

Everyone knows that Guo Ning uses Tie Guduo as his weapon every day, and uses this golden knife to represent his authority.Since he started his army, every time he granted a general the golden sword, he also granted the full power of life and death. This is naturally a great honor for the general.

Of course, Li Ting knew this better.He remembered that Monk Luo had used troops in Zhongdu twice, holding Guo Ning's golden sword, with the intention of calming down the chaos with authority.And Li Ting himself was awarded the Golden Sword twice, meaning the same, that is to let him kill people.

This is really something that Li Ting is very good at. Guo Ning can think of Li Ting at the right time every time, which can be regarded as the director of the company.

With Li Ting's status, as long as he wants to, he can actually give himself a bright aura of the founding general. At least he doesn't have to worry about being regarded as a knife for dirty work and the most vicious butcher by later generations.

But Li Ting never thought of it that way.

He was born as a local ruffian, and he has seen a lot of dirty methods for a long time, and he is very murderous.He occasionally recalled those Jurchens in the central capital city who treated Han children like dogs, and those Jurchens who used Han's lives as stepping stones in the border areas, and felt that no matter how much he killed and how cruel the methods were, it would be fine.

It's tit for tat, the most comforting thing ever.

The purpose of this trip is also the same, what should be done must be done.

After Guo Liulang took control of Shandong, he was not harsh on the Jurchens. When he took control of Liaodong, the number of Jurchens in the army, including wild Jurchens and Huligai people, has been increasing. Harsh, all equal to Han'er.

However, some Jurchens are not satisfied with this, especially those Jurchens who have enjoyed the benefits of the Dajin court Kuotian Kuodi in Zhongdu, Hebei and other places, and are used to being a master, have gone crazy in the past year or so Fleeing, and then gathered in Kaifeng, trying to make an enemy of Ding Naval regime.

These people are damned.At least, the leading group of these people deserves to die, and must die.

The Ding Navy will never leave them a chance, and will never allow them to rely on the influence of the Song people in the Southern Dynasty to cause any trouble for the Ding Navy.

Li Ting's eyes gradually became cold under the agitation.

After receiving the order from Guo Ning, he has arranged for a group of people who are brave enough and smart enough to start, asking them to find the residence of the Jurchen's high-ranking officials and nobles in the shortest time after breaking into Kaifeng. The massacre started at a fast speed.

Guo Ning didn't mention the rules of the massacre, but Li Ting planned to follow the rules on the grassland. He would kill anyone who was taller than the wheel, male or female... just like mowing weeds!
Only when these people are completely dead, can the Jurchens take another path; or, there may no longer be Jurchens, but only Han Chinese.

Li Ting felt that if the Jurchen chose to take either of these two paths, he could accept it.It doesn't matter whether the Jurchens are happy or not.

As for the Song people...

Then it doesn't matter much.Li Ting has never bothered to do business to make money, let alone look at those Southern Dynasty maritime merchants with half his eyes, let alone these sneaky Song people in front of him?
Since he is holding the golden sword that Guo Ning gave him, Li Ting doesn't need to have any scruples in doing things!

The cavalry at the front shouted loudly: "Jie Shuai, the Song Army is forming an array outside Nanxun Gate! They want to block us!"

Li Ting had already seen it clearly.

This Song army was also extraordinary, they marched in a hurry, and the complete formation was not completed, so there were no more than two or three ranks of spearmen and shieldmen blocking the front of the city gate, and even fewer soldiers and archers.But they relied on the formations to link and intertwine cleverly, and they actually created layers of postures in a short period of time.

A more cautious general might rein in his horse to see what the Song people were doing before deciding on the next move.But Li Ting fought fiercely for half his life, why would he hesitate?
"The whole army moves forward! Crash into it! Crash into Kaifeng City!"

Li Ting yelled loudly, yelled a few times, and added: "Those who block the way, kill without mercy!"

Following this order, the cavalry in front of him and behind him pointed their swords and guns forward at the same time, and the horses that were already galloping speeded up again.Thousands of cavalry, at least half of them are wearing iron armor, their running formation is extremely dense, like a moving mountain, and the impact contained in it is unparalleled!
In the column of the Song army, Meng Gong, who was commanding the gestures, heard the wild shouts of his own scout cavalry, and found that the faces of his companions all turned pale.He suddenly turned his head, and suddenly saw Ding Navy cavalry rolling in regardless, his face also changed.

In order to control Kaifeng as soon as possible, more than 3000 Song soldiers formed a long line. At this time, more than [-] people from the front team were rushing into the city, and the rear team was far from arriving.According to previous predictions, once our side enters Kaifeng, the Ding Navy must rush to mobilize troops to fight for the city, but who knew they would come so fast and so fiercely?

Now only relying on the Chinese army's manpower, can it resist Dinghai's tiger and wolf division?

difficult!
too difficult!
These Dinghai infantry in front of them are all gods of death, hungry ghosts crawling out of hell.Only by facing them directly can you feel how terrifying these people are!
Although Meng Gong is young, he is very good at judging the situation.He saw Ding Haijun's fierce and abnormal aura, and he clearly put on a posture of fighting in battle and going all out, so he immediately understood:

Ding Haijun's guard against the Song army has never been relaxed, and this Li Ting is not at all soft-hearted because of the alliance between the two sides. He has already regarded the Song army as an enemy!

Once such murderous cavalry entered the formation, there would be no attrition or confrontation between the two armies, and the Song army would suffer heavy losses. Thousands of soldiers and horses would die in pain, or collapse in despair!
Is it worth paying such a price to ensure that Kaifeng City will continue to fall into the hands of the Jurchens?
And if it's worth it, how should you deal with it?

Many thoughts ran through Meng Gong's mind, but he couldn't figure anything out.

He was about to fight to the death, blocking the cavalry at the gate of the city, when he suddenly heard tens of hundreds of people who had entered the city earlier shouting in unison: "Grandpa Zhao has an order, all the ministries get out of the way, get out of the way! Don't do that!" block!"

There is a set of rules for passing orders in the army.The Song Army's system is particularly rigorous, almost to the point of cumbersome.Under normal circumstances, how could such an order be issued?But at this time, Meng Gong didn't care about pursuing it at all, and immediately shouted: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

On the road leading to Xunmen in the south of Kaifeng City, the Song army retreated layer by layer like waves, while the cavalry of the Ding Navy rushed on the road like tigers and wolves without slowing down.In a blink of an eye, like an iron dragon running over countless ants, it rushed into Nanxun Gate.

The ground trembled for a long time, smoke and dust rose, covering the sky and the sun, and it seemed that there were still blood stains on the ground. It is unknown which team of Song Army soldiers could not dodge in time, and was hit or rubbed by the cavalry.Someone must have been injured, but no one dared to make a sound to stop the Ding Haijun from advancing.

We are also elite soldiers, heroes of the Song Dynasty!We also fought all the way to the city of Kaifeng!In the end, when he collided with Dinghailing's tiger and wolf, is the strength so clear?
Holding the waist knife tightly, Meng Gong stood up from the dry ditch beside the road. He stared at the iron dragon that continued to march, and watched one after another of the cavalrymen showing off their might, and one team after another took heavy breaths. The soldier's footsteps were also unusually heavy, his hands began to tremble.

At the forefront of the Song army column, within Nanxun Gate, in the direction of Lixu from Fengyi Gate, Zhao Fang, who was forced to give the order to evacuate, looked even livid.

Ding Haijun is so overbearing, but Zhao Fang has nothing to do.Because he knew very well that Shi Xianggong would never accept fighting against Ding Haijun.No matter how many plans Shi Xianggong made, no matter how firm his determination was conveyed, after all, he was not a person who dared to challenge a powerful enemy.

So Zhao Fang could only retreat.

The cavalry of the Ding Navy rushed forward quickly, and the infantry immediately rushed into the city. Even if they rushed straight to Zhao Fang's commander's banner, they did not stop.And Zhao Fang had no choice but to call out to his subordinates, wrapped up the flag and walked back again and again, until his back bumped into a pile of ruins beside the road, and then reluctantly stopped.

What a shame!This is not the face of someone like me, Zhao, but the face of Da Song!

He sighed heavily, and was about to explain a few words to Xuan Zeng, when he saw Hou Zhi who was kneeling in the middle of the road, now with his hands in his sleeves, standing on the side of the road leisurely.

For more than ten days before that, the two officials who had been keeping in touch with Zhao Fang in a confidential state were Tian Zhuo and Hou Zhi, two important ministers participating in the Kaifeng court.

Both of them were men, and when negotiating with Zhao Fang, they did not have the usual arrogance of the Jurchens, and could even be said to be extremely humble.

Prior to this, Zhao Fang naturally used various methods to confirm that the Kaifeng court would use the power of the Song Dynasty to survive from death.Just now when Hou Zhi prostrated himself in the Tao, he seemed even more sincere.

Zhao Fang thought for a while, and said to Hou Zhi: "Ahem, Mr. Hou, even though Zhou Guogong's subordinates entered the city, there is nothing we can do. Please lead the way with one step. We will not go to Fengyi Gate, but turn to other roads to rush to the inner city. As long as Your Majesty the Emperor, Miyagi, and various government offices have been saved, and there will still be..."

Having said that, Zhao Fang frowned and asked, "Hou Xianggong, are you listening?"

Hou Zhi grinned.

He is a Confucian official, and his smiling posture is gentle and elegant, not as rough as the Jurchen nobles, but when Zhao Fang looked at his smile, even though he was under the sun, he felt chills through his bones.

"Hou Xianggong, what are you laughing at?" He raised his voice and asked sharply.

"There is really no need to stop them." Hou Zhi's face showed a full mocking look: "They are about to go deep into the city."

"What's the meaning of this? Don't forget, you were the ones who begged our army to enter Kaifeng earlier!"

Hou Zhi shook his head and raised his hand as a signal.

At this moment, rockets flew out from both sides of the road, and with a violent whistling sound, they fell into the ruins piled up on both sides of Fengyimen Avenue.If you look carefully, you can see that it is not the ruins of bricks and stones, but countless materials such as wood, bamboo, reed mats, ropes, paints and other materials dismantled from various places.They are piled up on both sides of the road, like a mess of hills and ruins connected to each other.

As the rocket fell into the hills, huge flames shot up into the sky.

Under the huge amount of wood and bamboo, kerosene was splashed at some point, and there were even a lot of sulfur and gunpowder dismantled from iron cannons, muskets and other defensive weapons.

At this time, the weather is dry and hot. Needless to say, there is even more wind to help the fire, and the fire to help the wind. Every hill and ruin is ignited, and the foehn suddenly spirals up, rolling up the burning bamboo poles and firewood into the air, and then blows it up again. With countless sparks sprinkled.In the blink of an eye, the fire spread to both sides of Fengyimen main road, like two huge fire dragons swallowing flames, they were about to converge towards the middle of the road, completely devouring all of Li Ting's troops!
