Song Mingyue

Chapter 231
Chenzhou, Xiangcheng.

On the tower of the south gate, Liu Heng, the commander of Xiangcheng soldiers and horses, stood tall on the top of the city, staring closely at the distance.

Rumble!
Following the faint sound of thunder, a dark cloud slowly gushed out from the sky, and then covered the entire sky, and the entire sky and earth were filled with darkness, rolling in like a river rushing down the ground.

"Liangshan bandit army is coming!" The exclamation from the top of the city came one after another, as if the end of the world was approaching.

"Locusts, locusts that destroy the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty!" Liu Heng shouted through gritted teeth.

More than 1 soldiers and horses rushed in like a stormy sea. Under the deafening footsteps, the defenders on the tower were all panicked and at a loss.

Finally, one mile away from the city, more than ten thousand Liangshan troops stopped slowly.

In the center of the army, a large flag fluttered in the wind, and the four big words "Walk for the Heaven" were faintly visible on the big flag.

Under the banner, the leader of a Liangshan bandit army in full armor reined in his horse's feet, squinted his eyes, and raised his head to see more than a thousand Song soldiers waiting in line, with a look of contempt on his mouth.

I saw that this man was extremely tall and tall, with a red face, thick eyebrows, and a wide mouth. He wore a red-tasseled iron helmet, a red war robe, a chain-link battle armor, and a pair of green cloud-root war boots. His horse was seven feet tall. There are five, extremely strong, holding a mace covered with iron nails, it looks like it weighs twenty or thirty catties.

This well-armored equipment doesn't look like a bandit, but if he hadn't stood in front of the Liangshan bandit, he would have looked like a general of the Song army.

Under the sun, his eyes were wide open, he stared fiercely at the officers and soldiers on the top of the city, suddenly raised his mace, raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar.

Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
The tens of thousands of Liangshan soldiers behind them all raised their various weapons and let out a roar like a mountain roar and a tsunami. The forest of weapons interweaved a forest of death under the sun.

At this moment, a person sprang out from the crowd that was as dense as a cloud, and rushed towards the city.

This person is another scene, I saw that he was born like a half iron tower, with beards all over his face, his face was as black as a pot, he looked like a half iron tower, he was wearing a coat, his chest was open, revealing thick black and thick hair With chest hair and bulging muscles, holding a pair of large iron axes weighing more than ten kilograms in both hands, and without shoes, he just ran barefoot, stepped on a stream of smoke and dust, and ran under the tower in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that he was only thirty or forty steps away from the city wall, the black man stopped, held up his two axes, and shouted at the top of the tower: "Fuck you, you dog officers and soldiers on the city, please listen to me, your grandfather!" It's called Hei Xuanfeng, and the grandpas behind are all heroes of Liangshan, if you want to borrow food and grass, please open the city gate quickly and offer food and grass, if you don't give, grandpa will smash the city gate and kill everyone!"

Although those words were extremely vulgar, the sound was like a thunderbolt on the ground, with a bang that could be clearly heard within a mile radius.

More than a thousand Song soldiers on the city tower saw that this person not only looked like a fierce god, but also had a voice like Lord Lei, and they couldn't help but change their faces.

That Liu Heng had also learned some bow and horse kung fu, so he sneered and took the longbow of a Song soldier beside him, bent the bow and put an arrow on it, and shot the arrow out.

call out!
With the powerful sound of piercing through the air, the arrow shot out quickly, and went straight to the throat of the black-faced man who shouted.

The tall, black-faced man smiled grimly, swung the ax with his left hand and struck lightly, the arrow was chopped into two pieces with a click, his expression was as careless as if he had slapped a mosquito.

ho ho ho ~
After a moment of silence, the Liangshan army behind them all cheered, and the voices of more than ten thousand people were like thunder rolling, resounding through the sky, and the huge sound seemed to shake the city wall of Xiangcheng down.

Song Jun in the city was completely shocked, and all of them turned pale. Qiqi looked at Liu Heng and asked, "My lord, what should I do?"

Liu Heng showed a ferocious look on his face, and shouted viciously: "Fight! Even if you die in the last battle, you can't surrender to the bandits! Shoot the arrows to me and kill these villains!"

shhhhhh!
The arrows on the tower were like locusts, pouring down, the black-faced man in the city had already run back to the front, pointing back to the tower and yelling blah blah.

The red-faced general on horseback, seeing that the black-faced man was almost at a disadvantage, couldn't help being furious: "You son of a bitch, blow the trumpet and attack the city for me!"

woohoo~
With the dance of the flags in the army, the sound of horns soared into the sky, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky. The Liangshan army, as dense as ants, held various weapons and pushed the simple wooden siege ladder, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami. He rushed to the south gate tower of Xiangcheng.

……

The sky and the earth are vast, and the setting sun is like blood. In the evening, the land of the Central Plains is covered with a layer of twilight, and the eyes are full of bright red.

Chenzhou territory, ancient road.

With the rolling of wheels and the sound of horses' hoofs, a group of people and horses meander along the ancient road amidst the dust all over the sky, with flags like clouds and spears like forests, with no head in front and tail behind, just like a black dragon.

Among the densely packed flags, a large flag with the word "Zhao" is particularly eye-catching.Under the banner, more than a dozen generals surrounded Zhao Hao and walked slowly.

Zhao Hao, on the back of a jade dragon horse, is wearing a red-tasseled sun-shading iron helmet, a purple battle robe of hundreds of flowers, a black dragon armor given by Wang Xin, a hundred-refined steel sword hanging from his waist, and a big red cloak behind him. Dangdang, coupled with his slender and vigorous body, looks heroic.

At this moment, looking at the tens of thousands of troops behind him, he seemed smug and a little uneasy.

Because of Zhao Hao's theory of the Dharma Protector God and his bombardment of Zhao Ji one after another, plus Zhao Hao's always doing what he likes, Zhao Ji can't wait to treat Zhao Hao as his own son. Even though Cai Jing has ulterior motives, Zhao Ji doesn't seem to have the slightest Aware of Zhao Hao's precautions, he immediately agreed to Cai Jing's proposal.

Naturally, Zhao Hao could only follow the order to go to war, and began the process of taking command of the battle for the first time in his life. It was also the first time since Taizong Zhao Guangyi, the clan's clan took command of the war for the first time...

Five hundred white battalion soldiers, two thousand brocade guards, ten thousand elite imperial guards, and Han Shizhong, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Fang Baihua, Liang Hongyu, Yang Keshi and others accompanied them. , and there are experienced active-duty famous generals as lieutenants, it is almost impossible to lose this battle.

Liangshan bandits, even if they are as brave as in the novel, so what?Most of these people are all thug-level figures, and there is no handsome talent among them. In addition, the equipment is simple, how can they compete with the well-armored elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty?

What's more, I have a system...

It's just that Zhao Ji seems to have too much trust in him, making him go further and further on the road of favored ministers and powerful ministers. Do you want to follow the route of Wang Mang and Sima Zhao?

The Duke of Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and humble...

Everyone knows Sima's heart!
Once in contact with the army, it may be a road of no return, support the soldiers to respect themselves, and then seize power by force, is it possible?

Zhao Hao questioned in his heart, but finally shook his head.

With this time in command, there may not be a next time, and Zhao Ji may not always be confused.

What's more, although the Song Dynasty suppressed martial arts and emphasized literature, the warriors' loyalty to the emperor was extremely strong.With a heavy army in his hands, Yue Fei could easily rebel, and in the end he could only die unjustly in Fengboting, shouting "the sun is shining" in vain.Not to mention Han Shizhong, he completely obeyed the king's orders in the later period.

Even if his reputation is well known in the government and the public, and he even claims to be the hope of the world, if one day he does what Wang Mang does, will the people in the world accept him?
I'm afraid not.

If he was Zhao Huan, he could imitate Taizong's "Sound of Candle Shadow and Axe". As long as he did it without leaving any traces, who would dare to regard him as the second Yang Guang?It's just, it's a pity...he is just a clan outside the fifth service, and he needs hundreds of "candle shadow and ax sounds" to succeed to the throne...

He suddenly remembered the words of Fang La's counselor Lu Jiang before his death.

"Only to break first and then to build. When the Jin people went south and the soldiers surrounded Bianliang, when Zhao Ji and his son showed their incompetence in front of the subjects of the world, and when the Dasong Building was about to collapse, it was the prince who was dressed in a yellow robe. Day of the world!"

Just as he was thinking wildly, a horse galloped over and said, "General Qi, the town of Caikou is ahead."

Zhao Hao looked up at the sky, and a town with dense houses looming in the distance, took a long breath, and shouted loudly: "Speed ​​up the march, and rest in Caikou Town tonight. "

The promises were heard all over the place, the spirits of the soldiers were lifted, and the team speeded up obviously. After several days of eating and sleeping in the open, now they can go to the city to rest, which is naturally a rare good news for them.

Zhao Hao, who was on horseback, looked up at Caikou Town in the distance, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Caikou Town is in the north-central part of Xiangcheng County. After Caikou Town, the war is not far away.

When the army gradually moved five or six miles away from Fuyang City, several horsemen suddenly came galloping towards them: "Master Commander! Master Commander..."

Zhao Hao turned his head, and saw those Jin Yiwei rushing forward panting, seeing Zhao Hao immediately turned over and fell off the horse, and came up to meet him.

"Commander, Commander, Liangshan traitors Qin Ming, Li Kui, Zhu Wu and others led tens of thousands of people to attack Xiangcheng. Although Liu Heng, the commander of Xiangcheng soldiers and horses, resisted desperately, he was outnumbered and the arrows were about to run out. Look at Xiangcheng. It's about to break, and I'm determined not to survive tomorrow."

Qin Ming, Li Kui, Zhu Wu?
It turns out that these names really exist...

The faces of the teachers on the side changed drastically, and they said anxiously: "Then Qin Ming used to be in charge of Qingzhou soldiers and horses. Because of discord with the prefect of Qingzhou, he killed the prefect Luocao in a fit of anger. This man knows how to fight and is extremely brave. , Liu Heng is not his opponent, if he doesn't rush to help, I'm afraid Xiangcheng will not be able to keep it!"

Zhao Hao's expression also changed, bandits attack the city, once the city is broken, the people in the city will suffer.

"Since that's the case, I invite the old general and General Yang to lead five hundred elite cavalry to help Xiangcheng and hold back the bandit army!"

Huh!
Zhong Shidao and Yang Keshi each responded, and led five hundred white battalion soldiers, driving smoke and dust all over the sky, and rolled towards Xiangcheng.
