Fenghou

The chief commander was called Chang Long, and when he heard the shout, he rode over and scolded, "You guys, what are you shouting for?"

"General, an army has entered the city just now. It's completely different from our armor. It's a bit like the armor of the Song Army."

Chang Long urged his horse to run towards the city gate, but only halfway through, an arrow shot out from the night, "Poof!" It hit Chang Long's neck, Chang Long let out a muffled cry, turned over from his horse and fell down.

A dozen or so soldiers were taken aback, and looked back together, only to find that countless soldiers had come to kill them in the dark night.

They yelled in fright, turned around and fled, and many soldiers working outside the city also noticed the enemy's situation and started yelling.

The soldiers on the top of the city were startled, and they got up one after another, trying to close the city gate and pull up the suspension bridge.

At this time, they found that the suspension bridge could not be pulled up, and the city gate could not be closed. The bottom of the suspension bridge was hooked to the embankment by a big iron hook.

The soldiers on the top of the city were in a mess, and the alarm bell rang, "Dang! Dang! Dang!" After a while, it stopped abruptly, and the Western Army killed the top of the city, but the alarm bells of the other three cities also sounded immediately. .

The urgent sound of alarm bells spread throughout the city.

At this time, 3000 soldiers of the Western Army rushed into the city. The first batch of 6000 reinforcements came, which increased Tang Qian's troops to [-]. Come.

Tang Qian led his army into the city gate, but encountered militia soldiers rushing in densely. The rapid alarm bells all over the city alarmed the [-] militia soldiers in the whole city. They did not dare to take off their clothes and sleep. Gun fell asleep.

The alarm bell rang suddenly, and the militia soldiers woke up from their sleep one after another. The general yelled and forced them to rush out of the barracks, just in time to meet the [-] Western Army that had entered the city, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides on the street.

It's a pity that this fierce battle was completely one-sided massacre. Most of the militia soldiers didn't have much training, let alone saw blood. They were killed by the fierce and brave elites of the Western Army. The second batch of [-] reinforcements from the Western Army rushed into the city. The militia soldiers completely collapsed and fled in all directions in the city. They took off their armor and weapons and fled home.

Tang Qian immediately divided his troops into five groups, occupied the gates and walls, warehouses, barracks and other key points in the city, and imposed a curfew in the city to prevent the people from going out.

Half an hour later, Liu Qiong led the third batch of [-] troops into the city, and Qushan County, which Li Cheng had defended for nearly a month, fell.

One thousand 190 five chapters exchange

Not long after Li Cheng's army entered Haizhou, they encountered a commander who fled in a panic with dozens of militia soldiers. .

Li Cheng was shocked. What he was most worried about happened, he dared not continue marching, and ordered to camp in Shuyang County. In fact, the army had no camp, and pursued the Song army without bringing tents.

However, Shuyang County is an empty city, and the people in the county have all been moved to Qushan County. When the army entered the county, tens of thousands of troops were able to rest in the houses.

The accommodation problem was solved, but food became a big problem again. They chased the Song army and only carried a small amount of dry food. Although they seized a large amount of food in the Song army camp, they pursued lightly and did not bring any food.

Not only was there insufficient food, but at the same time Li Cheng had a big head, and there were more than 2 captured Song soldiers. Seeing that there was not much food, they were taken to Yizhou. Everyone had to run out of food on the way, but they were released. Li Cheng And a little bit unwilling.

"General, why don't we just take them..."

Deputy General Wang Mian made a decapitation gesture with his palm, Li Cheng shook his head, "Kill them, and our retreat will be lost. Chen Qing will not spare our soldiers, they will all die!"

"Why should the general be afraid of that Chen Qing? He has three heads and six arms..."

Before Wang Mian finished speaking, Li Cheng stared at him viciously, Wang Mian shut his mouth angrily, and dared not say anything.

Li Cheng pondered for a long time, and several generals under his opponent said: "Send the [-] Song troops to the Western army and let them figure it out!"

Handing over [-] Song troops to the Western army, on the one hand, was an exchange of favor with Chen Qing, and Chen Qing would release his own army in the future, and on the other hand, it was to provoke the relationship between Chen Qing and the imperial court, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

……

As the sky gradually dawned, the Western Army took control of the entire Qushan County. To Liu Qiong's surprise, the harvest was huge, not only the [-] Song Army's money, food, materials and tents, but also the Jin Bing's large amount of food and materials. Like two people who left the house without leaving the house, they ran away one after the other, but the property and materials in the house were cheaper than the old Wang next door.

The copper coins alone are not less than one million guan. This is the salary of the Song Army and the Jin Bing. It was captured by the Jin Bing, but fell into the pocket of the Western Army.

There are also more than one million stones of grain, more than 50 tans of fodder and black beans for horses, and weapons, armor, crossbows, arrows, battering rams, bed crossbows, tents, flags, drums, military blankets, pig iron, There are countless materials such as sheepskins, medicines, and camp fence timbers, as well as [-] war horses.

Of course, these grains and supplies must be transported to Donghai Island. As a transit center, Donghai Island also needs these money, grain and supplies.

In the afternoon, a few scouts galloped to report, "I have reported to Dutong that a Song Army team came twenty miles away, about 2 people, and was escorted by the Jin soldiers, saying that they would be handed over to us."

Liu Qiong and Tang Qian looked at each other, Tang Qian said with a smile: "This must be a soldier of the Song Army who was captured by the Jin soldiers. As a result, the mantis caught the cicada, the oriole was behind, and Li Cheng's lair was also lost. Li Cheng couldn't deal with it." These Song Army soldiers will hand them over to us."

Next to Tang Huai said: "Is there any fraud? The Jin soldiers are disguised as soldiers of the Song Army. They are all Han people anyway. They deliberately sent them to deceive the city!"

Liu Qiong shook her head and said: "It's not very likely, the main reason is that the risk is too great. Once it is discovered, the entire army of 2 people will be wiped out."

Tang Qian said with a smile: "I will lead three thousand brothers to take over!"

Liu Qiong nodded, "The horses just happened to be seized, so I rode to meet them and identify them clearly."

Tang Qian led [-] cavalry to leave the county seat and ran westward along the official road. After a short while, he saw the Song Army prisoners approaching from afar. Tang Qian ordered one of his men to go to meet them.

Not long after, the leading general of the Jin army came on horseback. He was Li Cheng's confidant general, and his name was He Qing.

He Qing stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "This is the [-] Song soldiers we captured. My family couldn't bear to kill them, and I was afraid that releasing them would harm the people, so I decided to hand them over to your army. I hope you will handle them properly."

Tang Qian nodded, "Other than that, what other requests do you have, for example, we can release your family members in Qushan County."

"Thank you, General. Our family members are not in Qushan County. If it is convenient, please give us a few thousand shi of grain."

Tang Qian immediately agreed and sent someone back to inform Liu Qiong. He carefully identified the prisoners of war and confirmed that they were all Song soldiers. Then he took them over and sent them to Qushan County.

Not long after, more than 100 carts came back with five thousand shi of grain. He Qing led the soldiers to take over the grain and returned to Shuyang County.

Early the next morning, the Song Army began to transfer personnel and materials to Donghai Island. At the same time, Liu Qiong sent people to quickly send the battle report to Bianliang.

……

Fuli County is the seat of Suzhou, and it is also the largest city in Suzhou. Two years ago in Jianyan, it had a population of more than 3 at most. Since then, it has encountered the Yellow River's embankment breach and the baptism of war. The population of Fuli County has dropped sharply. Less than [-] people.

After Li Cheng's army drove the Song army across the Huaihe River, he left [-] troops stationed in Fuli County, and [-] troops were stationed in Xuyi County in Sizhou.

In Fuli County, not far from the West City Gate, there is an inn called Rongji Inn. It covers a large area, but it is relatively old. There are several businessmen living in the inn. The leader of the businessman is Yu Shouzhong, the commander of the Western Army.

Yu Shouzhong was originally the deputy director of intelligence in Datong Mansion and Luoyang. He made great contributions in capturing Datong City and Luoyang City.

Yu Shouzhong lived in the inn with a few of his subordinates, and the other 150 subordinates lived in nearby houses. The sign of their actions was the red lantern hanging out of the inn.

Today is the third day of Li Cheng's army's retreat. In a small utility room on the top floor of the inn, Yu Shouzhong watched the movement of the city gate a hundred steps away. The changing time of the west gate and the change in the number of defenders on the top of the city.

At this time, footsteps came from the stairs below, and a subordinate came up and asked with a smile, "Did the commander gain anything today?"

"Good harvest!"

Yu Shouzhong said with a smile: "I found that they are starting to be lazy. The number of people patrolling the city today is only half of yesterday's. It is estimated that there will be fewer tonight."

"Let the humble job come! Liang Cheng is back, bringing back good news."

Yu Shouzhong regained his spirits, quickly changed positions with his subordinates, and walked down the stairs.

Liang Cheng is Yu Shouzhong's subordinate. He went out of the city early this morning to contact the Western Army. If there is good news, he will be in touch.

When Yu Shouzhong came to his room, Liang Cheng, who was as tall as a thin monkey, clasped his fists and said with a smile, "I have met General Li Qiong!"

"where are they?"

"Near Xinguo Town, 1 miles away from the county seat, also just arrived last night. There are [-] people. Another army is led by General Pan to Xuyi County. I have given General Pan the contact information."

Yu Shouzhong nodded and asked, "What is Li Qiong planning to do?"

"He said that he will act tonight. At midnight, attack the west city gate. He hopes that the general will cooperate with the outside and hold three fires in front of the tower as a sign."

Yu Shouzhong calculated the time. It is now afternoon, and it is only one hour before dark. He immediately said to Liang Cheng: "Go and tell the brothers, they will gather in the inn as soon as it gets dark, and come in through the back door."

Liang Cheng led the order to go, Yu Shouzhong walked to a corner of the house, tried his best to lift the floor, and put it aside, revealing a large dark pit. Below this is actually a cellar, the innkeeper used it to hide food, and Yu Shouzhong used it stand up.

He lit an oil lamp and took the oil lamp down the ladder to the cellar. The light illuminated the cellar, which was filled with a large number of armor, spears, swords and crossbows.

The first thousand and 190 chapters and six military newspapers

Xinguo Town is located about twenty miles west of Fuli County. It is a small town with more than a hundred households. The official road passes through the main street, and there are various shops on both sides, which is quite lively.

To the north of the town is a large pine forest, which was once submerged by the flood of the Yellow River, but after more than ten years, this pine forest has regained its lushness.

At present, Li Qiong led [-] troops to hide in this pine forest. After one watch, the [-] troops left the pine forest and set off to Fuli County, twenty miles away.

At this time, 150 scouts from the Western Army gathered in the Rongji Inn. Everyone wore armor, crossbows on their backs, swords on their waists, and spears in their hands. The only difference is that everyone has a white towel tied around their left arm.

"Listen everyone, our mission is to capture the west city gate. We must do so silently and without alarming the enemy troops in the city. Therefore, everyone must be quick, ruthless, and decisive, and we must not have the slightest benevolence of women. We must stop the enemy army from making any noise. Lord, so slit their throats, or cover their mouths and kill them!"

Everyone lined up neatly, Yu Shouzhong waved his hand, "Let's go!"

The third watch was almost here, and a group of soldiers left the inn, went up the street, and marched to the gate of the city.

It looked exactly like a group of soldiers on patrol. At this time, on both sides of the city gate, dozens of defenders were sitting against the wall. Each of them was wrapped in a blanket and covered his face with a hat he got from somewhere. In deep sleep.

With a wave of Yu Shouzhong's hand, the soldiers stepped forward one after another, covered their mouths and stabbed them in the heart. Dozens of signatory soldiers were all killed, leaving only one alive.

"General, tonight's password is strictly guard against death!"

Yu Shouzhong sneered, "It's a good one to guard against death!"

He ordered fifty soldiers to guard both sides of the city gate, and he himself led a hundred soldiers to rush to the top of the city.

On the top of the city, dozens of soldiers were the same as at the city gate, wrapped in blankets and sitting on the wall, sleeping soundly, and more than a dozen soldiers stood guard on the city wall.

"Who are you? Password!" A soldier asked.

"Strictly guard against death!"

Yu Shouzhong responded, walked over quickly, and asked, "I was ordered to check on you guarding the city. How many people are on duty tonight?"

There was no problem with the password, and the soldiers guarding the city let down their vigilance, and hurriedly said, "We have a hundred brothers on duty tonight!"

"But there aren't hundreds of people here!" Yu Shouzhong asked, glancing at the sleeping soldiers around him.

"There are only thirty or so people here. Some brothers are at the city gate, and most of the brothers are in the tower. They just came out to sleep when they couldn't fit in."

Yu Shouzhong nodded, made a gesture behind his back with his hands behind his back, and moved around to the soldiers behind him at the same time. More than a dozen people rushed forward from behind, covered the soldiers' mouths and stabbed them in the back of the heart.

Many soldiers lying by the wall had already woken up, and watched them negotiate with sleepy eyes, and suddenly started killing people, which made these soldiers scream.

The soldiers of the Western Army reacted quickly, and pierced their chests fiercely with a wave of their spears. The soldiers of the signing army let out screams.

Yu Shouzhong didn't think about being quiet either, he drew out his saber, kicked open the gate of the city tower, and entered...

A mile away, Li Qiong led the soldiers and was patiently waiting for the signal from the top of the city. At this time, three torches were lit on the top of the city, and the torches were waving. Li Qiong was overjoyed and shouted: "Brothers, go into the city! "

"Kill!"

Ten thousand soldiers followed Li Qiong to kill towards the west gate...

On the top of the city, all the enemy soldiers were wiped out. The scouts of the western army completely controlled the west city gate, the drawbridge was raised, and the city gate was opened.

Not long after, [-] soldiers of the Western Army rushed into the city and went to the barracks not far away...

This was a battle without any suspense. The number of signing troops was too small. Except for hundreds of people who were killed, the rest of the soldiers all surrendered. The main general Ma Hong was shot off his horse by Li Qiong, and another shot killed him.

Two days later, news came from Xuyi County that Pan Gui, with the cooperation of the scouts in the city, also captured Xuyi County.

So far, the Sizhou, Suzhou, Lianshui Army, and the west of Pizhou controlled by the Song Army to the north of the Huaihe River have all been recovered by the Western Army, while Haizhou, Pizhou, and east of Xuzhou controlled by the Jin Army have also been captured by the Western Army. All the East Road fell into the hands of the Western Army.

……

Chen Qing led an army of 20 troops to Guide Mansion. Guide Mansion was renamed by Liu Yu of the puppet Qi Dynasty. After the battle, Chen Qing planned to change Guide Mansion to Yingtian Mansion again.

Huyanlei has built a slab-wall barracks covering an area of ​​1 mu in the west of Songcheng County, with [-] large tents.

When the 20 troops arrive, they will directly enter the barracks, and there is no need to build a temporary camp.

In addition, [-] flat-bottomed cargo ships directly sent grain and grass materials to Cangcheng, Songcheng County for storage.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Hu Yanlei, the guard of Guide Mansion, and Li Qingong, the governor of the Yellow River Navy of the Western Army, came to meet King Yong.

"See His Royal Highness King Yong for humble positions!"

Chen Qing waved his hands and said with a smile: "The two generals are welcome to sit down without courtesy!"

The two sat down, and Chen Qingxiao asked, "After the defeat of the Jin army against Gu Cao last winter, did you continue to send troops to attack Guide's mansion?"

Hu Yanlei bowed his body and said: "There have been a small group of spies active in Guide Mansion. The humble officer has cooperated with Li Dudu and has destroyed five spy teams and eliminated more than 100 spies. Especially after the camp was built, the inferior officer sent 1 cavalry Patrolling around the camp day and night, the humble officials are afraid that if they are careless, [-] large tents will be burned."

Chen Qing smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry too much. They are all sheepskin tents, not cloth tents. Unless they rush in and pour kerosene on the fire, they won't be easily ignited with just a few rockets. But it is commendable to be vigilant."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment!"

Chen Qing nodded, and asked Li Qingong again: "I heard that Jin Bing is also forming a naval army, has anything happened to you?"

Li Qingong bowed and said: "His Royal Highness, I have heard about them, but I have never encountered them in the Yellow River. I guess the other party is relatively small and the boats are not big. They may be active in Liangshan Shuibo and Nanqing River. New Yellow River The current is turbulent and the undercurrent is turbulent, it is difficult for small boats to navigate in the New Yellow River, and it is easy to lose control."

Chen Qing asked again: "Did Xiao Liu send someone from Haizhou to deliver the letter?"

Both of them shook their heads, "We only know that the Song army was defeated. General Xiao Liu took the opportunity to lead his army to capture Haizhou. The specific military report has not yet been delivered."

Chen Qing also learned the latest information about Haizhou, which indeed happened as he expected, and Liu Qiong also captured Qushan County according to the plan made in advance.

But Chen Qing wanted to know the specific military situation, so he immediately said: "Go back first! Let's discuss the military situation together tomorrow."

Hu Yanlei and Li Qingong got up and left.
