Fenghou

But he saw that Fan Gong was still deep in thought, with deep worry in his eyes, so he asked, "What are you thinking, sir?"

Fan Gong said slowly: "This time the Song army came in a strange way!"

"What does the mister mean?"

"This time it was Chen Qing who led the army to attack Fengxiang, did you know Yan Chang after talking about it?"

"Sir, do you think Wan Yanchang will know?"

Fan Gong nodded, "I think he must know!"

Wanyan Mouyan suddenly said angrily: "Since he knew about it, why didn't he inform Fengxiang?"

Fan Gong smiled wryly, "It's best that you and I don't discuss the reason behind it."

Wanyan Mouyan was speechless, he remembered what his elder brother Wanyan Huonv once said to himself, "If the fourth prince kicks Taran out of Sichuan and Shanxi, then the fourth prince will not succeed in attacking the Song Dynasty in the end." '

Only now did he understand the deep meaning of his brother's words, the contradiction between Helisa and Wushu was actually the contradiction between Talan and Wushu.

"Okay! Let's not discuss this matter. What should I do now, sir?"

Fan Gong thought for a while and said: "The general wants to send troops no matter what, it's a matter of attitude, at least we have to show Wanyan and Lisa, we are already doing our best, but we can't go out with all our troops, the [-] Jurchen troops will defend Fengxiang to the death City, to protect the family, I suggest to gather all the Han people to join the army and take back Mei County first."

"I'm afraid that the Xie Congjun is not Chen Qing's opponent!"

Fan Gong shook his head, "The general didn't understand what I meant. What I meant was that the more tragic the better, give him an explanation, otherwise the general will bear the blame!"

Wanyan Mouyan suddenly understood, "I understand! I will immediately dispatch troops."

……

In the afternoon, 3 Han people from the Congregation Army rushed to Mei County. The commander of the Congregation Army was General Zhang Zhongfu. He is currently the highest ranking general in the Han Congregation Army. In addition to Jin Bing, there are more than [-] Han people assisting the army, of which [-] Xie Congjun followed Jin Bing to the south, but the Xie Congjun was mainly responsible for logistics, and Yan Wushu never counted on them in specific battles.

Ordinary soldiers didn't know what happened, but Zhang Zhongfu knew very well that the murderous monster had come back again. It was freezing and snowy. If he asked his army to recover Mei County, wouldn't this be sending the soldiers to their deaths?The opponent is a cavalry!

But the military order was like a mountain, and Zhang Zhongfu had no choice but to lead his troops to kill Mei County, saying that he was recovering Mei County, but he had neither siege weapons nor luggage. How could they attack the city?How to recover Mei County?

After all, both Wanyan Mouyan and Zhang Zhongfu understood that it was impossible for the Song Army to hide in Mei County and defend the city, and they would definitely use their cavalry advantages to fight on the plains outside the city.

Only the poor soldiers didn't know anything, and followed the general along the official road in a daze.

The distance from Fengxiang to Mei County is about 120 miles, and Qishan County is separated. This area is the granary of Guanzhong, mainly plains, with endless wheat fields and dense population, dotted with small towns and county towns.

But today is the seventh day of the first lunar month, and the people are still immersed in the leisure atmosphere of the New Year. There are no people in the fields or on the official roads. Only when passing through towns, can they see people drinking, shopping, and rushing through the towns.

However, the Han Chinese Xie Congjun did not dare to plunder the town. Fengxiang is the old nest of Wanyan Wushu. Rabbits do not eat the grass beside the nest.

A general stepped forward and said to Zhang Zhongfu: "It's getting late, shall we spend the night in Qishan County? It's too cold at night. The soldiers have thin armor and no tents. They will be unbearably cold."

Zhang Zhongfu had already seen Qishan County in the distance, so he nodded, "Send spies to the county to see if there are no enemy troops to enter the city!"

Immediately, a team of cavalry scouts galloped out, heading towards Qishan County, more than a dozen miles away...

Chapter 369

Soon, the spies came back to report that there was no sign of the Song army in the city.

Zhang Zhongfu was heartbroken. After all, Qishan County was still [-] miles away from Mei County, and it was impossible for Song Jun to travel so far.

He immediately ordered the army to speed up and march towards Qishan County. The soldiers were already exhausted and rushed to the county town with all their strength.

But Zhang Zhongfu never dreamed that the spies he sent had just left Qishan County, and a thousand-strong Song army entered the county from the south. This was a time-lag battle.

The Xie Cong Army is still more than ten miles away from the county seat, and it will take a quarter of an hour at the earliest, but this quarter of an hour is enough for the Song Army to deploy calmly.

A thousand Song soldiers went to the head of the northern city, with crossbows and arrows in their hands, and ambushed on the head of the city.

The rest of the cavalry lay in ambush on both sides of the city, waiting for the battle to break out.

Chen Qing understood the characteristics of the Xie Congjun very well. Their income was low, they were discriminated against, their food was bad, and the Jin Bing did not have any financial management, so they had no money to pay the Xie Congjun army.

In addition, in the past two years, the Kingdom of Jin has changed from looting to rule. The top generals of Jin Bing such as Wanyan Wushu, Wanyan Nianhan, Wanyanchang and others have also begun to pay attention to buying people's hearts and restraining military discipline. There are obviously fewer cases of massacres and looting a lot.

The Han Chinese Association has no source of income, and the soldiers would rather be bandits than follow the Jin soldiers. Therefore, the number of Han Chinese Association soldiers on Shaanxi Road has dropped sharply in the past two years, from a peak of 20 people to the current number. Thirty to forty thousand people.

Instead, the growth of the puppet Qi army, the number of the puppet Qi army north of the Yangtze River has reached as many as 10. Why not maintain local order?

Therefore, the remaining Golden Soldiers of the Confederacy Army don't value it anymore, and it is also because the Golden Soldiers don't value it that the Confederacy Army is even more alienated, and no one is willing to sacrifice their lives.

Chen Qing is very aware of the current state of the Congregation Army. He knows that as long as the connection between the army and the general is cut off, the army will basically not fight.

There are many ways to cut off the connection between the general and the army, such as directly singled out the general, such as concentrating troops to kill the general, such as using cavalry to isolate the general, and using a city to isolate is also a common method.

Of course, some details should be paid attention to when using the city to isolate, such as the way the city gate is closed. If it is closed with two closed doors, it may not be able to close because there are too many soldiers or corpses in the city cave.

Another example is to make sure that the general is at the front. Generally speaking, the general must go to the city to contact officials such as magistrates to understand the resources in the county. After all, there are more than 1 troops. They need food, drink and accommodation. Once the condom is settled down, the following people can do things easily.

Of course not necessarily, so the tactics need to be adjusted at any time. If the main general enters the city in the middle of the team, then the tactics must be changed and the team will be divided into two sections.

Not long after, 1 soldiers arrived at the county seat in mighty force. First, more than a thousand pioneer soldiers entered the city, and then the main general Zhang Zhongfu and his more than a thousand guards entered the city.

On the top of the wall, Yang Zaixing could see clearly, and immediately ordered: "Shoot!"

The clapper sounded suddenly, and a thousand soldiers on the top of the city appeared at the same time and shot at the enemy below. Dozens of gunpowder barrels were thrown down. The sudden attack caught the enemy by surprise, and the soldiers near the top of the city were shot He fell to the ground, followed by dozens of explosions, causing limbs to fly and blood to splatter. The soldiers outside the city who were about to enter the city turned around and fled. He was hit by several poisonous nails and fell to the ground. The soldiers rescued him and covered him and ran towards the city.

The suspension bridge creaked up, and the city gates began to fall. The gate towers of Mei County are falling, that is, falling from the top, rather than closed. This kind of gate is usually a small county town, and the gate is relatively small, so that it can be seen from the outside. Put it down.

The explosion sounded, this was the signal, Chen Qing waved his saber and shouted: "Kill!"

"Woo-woo-"

The horn sounded to send out troops, and seven thousand cavalry rushed out from both sides to attack the allies outside the city...

The soldiers of the Confederacy Army were frightened. Seeing the cavalry rushing out, everyone became terrified. Without the restraint of the general, the soldiers acted rashly. Of course, they ran away to save their lives. He dropped his weapon and ran desperately in the snowy wilderness. The cavalry chased after him, and the enemy soldiers were cut down on the ground one by one.

The Xie Congjun couldn't run anymore, they knelt down and cried, begging for mercy, but they were still beheaded mercilessly by Chen Qing's cavalry.

Chen Qing's title of "Human Devil" is not for nothing. He has no mercy on the battlefield, his salary is low, he doesn't have enough to eat, and he is still working for the golden soldiers. These soldiers have nothing to feel sorry for.

"Kill! Do not accept prisoners of war!" Chen Qing issued the killing order again.

He had to use the tragic battle situation to force Wanyan Wushu to withdraw his troops, Chen Qing then ordered Liu Cui to lead [-] cavalry to the south gate to intercept and kill the enemy.

The city was also in chaos. The 1000 soldiers in the advanced city were planning to attack the city at first, but when the Song army lit the upper city corridor with kerosene, the enemy soldiers began to collapse, and Zhang Zhongfu fled to the south gate with more than [-] soldiers.

But just a few hundred steps out of the city, they were attacked head-on by Liu Cui's army, surrounded by three thousand cavalry, and the soldiers of the Xie Congjun broke through in despair and died...

In this battle, more than 1 of the 8000 Xie Congjun soldiers were beheaded. However, when night fell, thousands of soldiers escaped from the pursuit of the Song army under the cover of night and fled in all directions.

Zhang Zhongfu, the leader of the enemy army, was poisoned by nails at the gate of the city. As a result, the poisonous wound broke out. He failed to escape the siege and died among the rebellious army.

……

Qishan County is only [-] miles away from Fengxiang County. In the middle of the night, Jurchen sentry cavalry discovered the battle and rushed back to Fengxiang County.

Counselor Fan Gong was woken up in the middle of the night. He put on his clothes and hurried to the camp of the Chinese army.

The news of the defeat still disturbed Wanyan Mouyan, although Wanyan Helisa could be given an explanation, but he was a soldier and the chief general after all, this kind of behavior of going to die knowing that he would suffer a disastrous defeat still made him extremely uncomfortable, He was also worried about whether he could explain to the fourth prince Wanyan Wushu?

"Army is here!" A soldier reported outside the account.

The curtain was lifted, and Fan Gong walked in.

Wanyan Mouyan stepped forward and sighed: "I just got the news that the Xie Cong Army was ambushed by Chen Qing's army in Qishan County, and almost the entire army was wiped out."

Fan Gong said expressionlessly: "Didn't you know this would happen from the beginning? Why is the general so nervous?"

"Actually, our army is not weak. We can fight against Chen Qing's army! Leave 3000 people to defend the city, and Chen Qing's army can't get in!"

This is what Wanyan Mouyan regrets in his heart. They have 3000 troops, and they can leave [-] people to defend the city, and then gather [-] troops to fight Chen Qing. Take revenge for killing your father!

Fan Gong was silent for a moment and asked, "Has General Mou Yan fought against Chen Qing before?"

Wanyan Mouyan shook his head, "I heard from elder brother that this person is very cunning and difficult to deal with!"

"That's the problem. If the two armies confront each other and he wants to fight the general, will the general agree?"

Wanyan Mouyan was silent for a while, and Fan Gong continued: "If he continues to talk about your father and insult your father, will the general be able to bear it?"

Wanyan Mouyan sighed and said: "I think I will definitely fight him one-on-one and avenge my father's death!"

"That's why I don't agree with the general to go to war. If the general dies, even if we have [-] cavalry, we are no match for the other party. To be honest, I don't regard the Confederate Army as an army at all, and it is not vulnerable at all. Sometimes they will only become a drag!

Once we lose miserably, can the Three Thousand Alliance Army defend Fengxiang City?I'm afraid they all ran away overnight. If Chen Qing led his army into the city, what would happen to so many family members?How do we explain to the fourth prince? "

Wanyan Mouyan was ashamed and bowed in salute, "Sir, you taught me the right thing!"

Fan Gong said slowly again: "If my guess is correct, Chen Qing will definitely come to challenge tomorrow, the general must hold back no matter what!"

3 Chapter Seventy

At noon the next day, [-] cavalrymen arrived at Fengxiang County under the leadership of Chen Qing. Fengxiang County was tall and strong, and it was difficult to attack even with siege weapons, not to mention that Chen Qing's army did not have siege weapons at all.

Chen Qing himself had no intention of capturing the city, he just wanted to make matters worse, and it was his intention to force Yan Wushu to withdraw.

Eight thousand cavalry marched in front of the city. Chen Qing held Fang Tian's painted halberd and shouted under the city: "Where is Wanyan Mouyan? Come out and talk to me!"

Wanyan Mouyan stood beside the city gate pillar, silently looking at the enemy general Chen Qing, but he didn't respond, Fan Gong angrily shouted: "Fire me an arrow!"

Arrows were fired at the top of the city, and the Song army had been prepared. Dozens of cavalry stepped forward and raised their shields to block Chen Qingyan.

Chen Qing quickly retreated two hundred steps away from the range of the arrows. He was also a little annoyed in his heart, and he turned around and ordered, "Give me a magic arm crossbow!"

The soldiers handed him a god arm crossbow, Chen Qing put a crossbow arrow, aimed at the banner on the top of the city, his arms were as stable as mountains, and he was motionless, when the arrow was shot, the rope of the banner on the top of the city was shot, and a wolf head The big flag fluttered down immediately, and there was an exclamation from the top of the city, but the soldiers of the Song Army burst into cheers.

Chen Qing took out another letter, stuck it on the tip of the arrow, and shot it towards the top of the city.

A soldier picked up the arrow letter and handed it to Wanyan Mouyan. Wanyan Mouyan opened the letter and read it with a complicated expression on his face. At this moment, Fan Gong ran over and asked, "What did you say in the letter?"

"As the gentleman said, he wants to fight me one-on-one. Let me set a time and fight in the city!"

"Ignore him!"

Fan Gong sternly said: "You shoulder the great trust that the fourth prince entrusted to you, even if it is the revenge of killing your father, you must hold back, and there will be time for revenge in the future!"

Wanyan Mouyan nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "I listened to Mr.'s arrangement, let him live a few more days, I will kill him sooner or later!"

……

Chen Qing waited until the afternoon, and before Wanyan Mouyan's reply, he knew that the other party was not fooled. He sneered, turned around and said: "Go to the show!"

Song Jun held up a giant paper figure as high as Zhangxu, but it had no head and was covered with golden soldier armor. The four characters of "Wanyan Loushi" were written on the front. There is a series of large characters, the first one reads: "Why don't you avenge your father if you plan to procreate my son?" '

The second article reads, 'Muyan Tiezi, I don't have your shy-headed son! '

There are also soldiers performing a puppet show next to it, and it is Chen Qingdao who cuts down Yan Loushi.

The generals of the Song army laughed out loud at the base of the city, Wanyan Mouyan saw that the other party had humiliated his father and himself so much, he gritted his teeth and punched the wall hard, bleeding from his hands.

He suddenly roared, grabbed the big knife, turned around and ran down the city, Wanyan Mouyan couldn't bear it anymore, no matter what, he must cut Chen Qing into pieces today.

Fan Gong was staring at him not far away!After seeing that Yan Mouyan still couldn't stand Chen Qing's provocation, he immediately shouted anxiously: "Hold him down and tie him up!"

Before Wanyan Mouyan got on his horse, more than a dozen soldiers rushed up, pressed him to the ground, and tied him up hurriedly. The guards beside him also knew that the military division was preventing the lord from leaving the city, so they didn't go up to stop him.

Wanyan Mouyan completely collapsed and burst into tears, "Military Master, let me go out and kill him! I want to avenge my father. It has been three years since my father died, how long do I have to endure?"

Fan Gong pointed at him and reprimanded sharply: "A man can bend and stretch, but your father is the only one who died at his hands. Others can bear it, but you can't bear it? Take him down, watch him, and don't let him go to the city. "

Wanyan Mouyan looked up to the sky and wept bitterly, and was surrounded by a group of soldiers and left.

Fan Gong had lingering fears in his heart, this Chen Qing was really ruthless and used all means, if he hadn't been here today, Wanyan Mouyan would definitely have left the city.

As night fell, Wanyan Mouyan still didn't come out, Chen Qing laughed loudly and said, "Looks like he's really a tortoise, let's spare his life, let's go to Qishan County to rest, and return to Mei County tomorrow!"

The army rose up and returned to Qishan County in mighty strength...

Fan Gong watched Chen Qing go away, and he sighed in his heart. In fact, it is best to transfer Jingzhao's puppet Qi army to fight against Chen Qing, but the fourth prince's handwritten order is needed to mobilize the puppet Qi army. Yan Mouyan doesn't even have this military power!

……

The battle at Jianmen Pass was extremely fierce. The Jurchen army attacked several times a day, but they were defeated by the Song army every time. The Jurchen soldiers had suffered more than 8000 casualties, and the Song army had also died in battle. More than [-] soldiers died. Change it up.

After attacking for more than ten days in a row, Jianmen Pass still stood tall and was not breached by the Jurchen army, which really made Wanyan Wushu feel depressed.

On this day, it was snowing heavily at Jianmen Pass, Wanyan Wushu was sitting in the tent drinking in a sullen mood, while the war drums at Jianmen Pass were still rumbling in the distance, the battle was in full swing!

Wanyan Wushu also knew that Jianmen pass was difficult to beat, but he had made calculations. According to his experience, no matter how difficult it was to beat, even with corpses piled up, he could still pass the pass. But he never thought that Wu Jie would be so tenacious. I am afraid that Song Jun's will will collapse, but he is extremely tenacious and will not be defeated no matter what.

Could it be that after fighting for so many years, I really missed Bashu?

At this time, there was a faint roar from outside, followed by Wanyan Heli's exasperated voice, "Get out of here, I want to see Marshal Du immediately!"

"There is an order from the Marshal, no one is allowed to disturb!"
