Fenghou

Tang Qian also didn't expect the enemy army to be so direct, and the whole army came up directly. Seeing the enemy army rushing in like a tide, he shouted: "Bows and crossbows are ready!"

The 45 military crossbows are facing upward at a 150-degree angle, and the cold arrows are flashing murderous intent in the sun. The enemy troops are getting closer and closer, and they have already rushed into the [-]-step line.

Commander Zhang Heng shouted, "Archery!"

There was a rapid sound of clappers, and [-] crossbow arrows in the first three rows soared into the air, shooting towards the enemy crowd like a black cloud. The enemy soldiers raised their shields to resist, but their crude shields could not stop the powerful The crossbow arrows shot, one after another the enemy soldiers fell down screaming.

Immediately after the arrows from the fourth to sixth rows were shot out, more than 3000 arrows shot into the enemy army like raindrops. Countless enemy soldiers were hit by the arrows and rolled over. Nine rows of arrows shot out, and the arrows covered the sky.

In the first round, 3000 arrows shot down more than [-] soldiers, but for the [-]-strong army, the casualties of more than [-] people did not make waves at all.

Tens of thousands of troops rushed to the hundred-step line, and the second round of crossbow arrows began to be fired...

Five thousand soldiers rushed westward from three miles away from the north. The tactical intention was very obvious, that is, to go around behind the enemy and attack the enemy from behind. At this time, it was too late for the enemy to turn back.

Pan Wen just wanted to make a quick decision, first to defeat the western army in the front, and then turn around to deal with the cavalry.

After two rounds of arrows, the enemy suffered nearly 7000 casualties, and more than [-] soldiers finally came to the front. Two thousand heavy armored infantry swung their three-pointed and double-edged swords, and appeared in front of the enemy like a mountain.

Behind them are [-] soldiers who have just transformed from crossbow army to spear army. Thirty small trebuchets and [-] spear throwers are hidden among the spears.

The enemy army slammed into them, but they were greeted by Mo Dao with a cold light. Under the blade, flesh and blood flew, heads rolled, and stumped limbs and arms were all over the ground. In an instant, the air was filled with an extremely strong smell of blood, but the heavy armor The infantry has seen this for a long time, and the soldiers behind have experienced many battles and don't care.

At this time, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Tang Dutong, there are elephants!"

When Tang Qian turned his head, he saw hundreds of elephants rushing out from the forest in the northwest direction, riding soldiers on them, rushing towards the side of the Western Army formation. Tang Qian shouted sharply: "Spear throwers to fight!"

Two thousand and five hundred gunmen rushed forward, throwing unusually sharp steel spears, and shot out cold rays of light. The extremely sharp steel spears pierced the heads of the war elephants, and the elephants fell down with a bang.

In just a moment, more than a hundred of the five hundred elephants were killed. The elephant herd was frightened and tried to turn around and run for their lives, but the mahouts above shouted loudly, forcing the elephants to charge.

The spear-throwers immediately changed their targets, aiming at the man on the back of the elephant. They threw the spear accurately, and one by one the enemy soldiers screamed and fell from the elephant. In a moment, hundreds of mahouts and soldiers were all killed. Assassinate.

Without the threat of the elephant driver, nearly [-] elephants turned around and ran into the forest.

At this time, Tang Qian saw that the time was ripe, and ordered sharply: "The trebuchet throws fire and thunder!"

Thirty trebuchets were transported to the front and began to shoot continuously. Three iron hedgehogs were thrown into the enemy army one after another. The iron fire thunder exploded in the crowd, the poisoned iron nails scattered and splashed, and the crowd screamed.

The enemy army on Guangnan West Road had never seen such a terrifying firearm. The soldiers were shaken, and countless soldiers from the front army turned around and fled.

At this time, [-] cavalry came from behind, and the tens of thousands of troops could no longer hold on, and the whole line collapsed. The corpses of the army were scattered all over the field, and the blood flowed like rivers. Pan Wen, the general, was surrounded by cavalry of the Western Army and beheaded under his horse.

……

Two months later, Liu Qiong and Tang Qian led the army to completely pacify the Guangnan two roads, leaving [-] troops to garrison the Guangnan two roads, and the army returned to the court.

The first thousand and 510 chapter two Wei Mie

In the Lin'an City barracks, more than a dozen generals gathered in one tent. The chief general was Zhang Wantao, a veteran of Han Shizhong.

Zhang Wantao had been secretly persuaded by Lu Gang to surrender to the Western Army two months ago, so he ordered the soldiers not to stop the people from leaving the city.

Today he received Lu Gang's order to open the city gate tonight, and the Western Army entered the city.

But Zhang Wantao still has hatred in his heart. This deep hatred is his immediate boss, Wei Tong. Wei Tong is domineering and domineering over his head. Concubine.

Although under the mediation of Queen Wei, Wei Tong returned Zhang Wantao's concubine, but the concubine had been defiled by him many times. This kind of hatred for taking his wife, Zhang Wantao had already mobilized murderous intentions towards Wei Tong, but he has been forbearing. Today he Don't hold back anymore.

"To tell you the truth, I have already surrendered to the Western Army, and I have been waiting for Kaesong to welcome the Western Army into Lin'an. This day has finally come. Everyone has followed me for more than ten years. I know everyone's feelings. Everyone is looking forward to this day." It's been a long time!"

Everyone was very excited and shouted: "The day has finally come, we are willing to follow and all belong to the Shunxi Army!"

Zhang Wantao waved his hand, "Everyone be quiet, listen to me!"

Everyone quieted down, Zhang Wantao continued: "I made an agreement with the Western Army that the gates of the city will be opened after dark, and all soldiers will be in the barracks. The Western Army will enter the city quietly and take over Lin'an, and then everyone will follow me out of the city to accept reorganization. Our military discipline Very good, there is no disturbance to the people, so everyone can basically keep their current official positions. Now it is half an hour before dark, everyone returns to the camp and restrains the soldiers. From now on, without my permission, no one is allowed to Get out of the barracks."

All the generals returned to their camps, and Zhang Wantao led five hundred soldiers to the Yue Palace.

Yue Wang's mansion is Wei Tong's mansion, of course Zhang Wantao got Lu Gang's permission before he would do anything to Wei Tong.

Zhang Wantao rushed into the gate with a knife in hand, just in time to meet Ma Yi, the leader of Wei Tong's guards, Ma Yi was shocked, "What is Zhang Dutong doing?"

"I'm here to take you to see Hades!"

Zhang Wantao chopped off his head with one blow.

Dozens of guards turned around and fled, but they were surrounded by five hundred soldiers, and all of them were killed without leaving any.

Zhang Wantao rushed to the back house with dozens of his subordinates. In the lobby, Wei Tong was having dinner with his wife, children and a dozen concubines.

Suddenly a bloody human head rolled on the dining table, scaring everyone to cover their faces and scream.

Wei Tong saw Zhang Wantao rushing up to the lobby, and was so startled that he turned around and fled, but was shot in the leg by a soldier's arrow, fell to the ground, and lay on the ground crying.

Zhang Wantao first grabbed Wei Tong's seven children and grandchildren, and killed them one by one. He also stabbed Wei Tong's wife in the chest. His concubine was tricked into the mansion by Wei Tong's wife. How could Zhang Wantao spare her.

After killing his wife and son in front of Wei Tong, Zhang Wantao stepped forward and grabbed Wei Tong's hair, and said with a sneer, "You never thought this would happen, did you?"

Wei Tong was so frightened that he was scared to death, he clasped his hands together and begged, "General, please spare me!"

Zhang Wantao narrowed his eyes, and murderous intent shot in his eyes, "When you played with my concubine, didn't you think about the consequences?"

"All my women are given to the general, and the general can play as he wants!"

Zhang Wantao snorted, "King Yong won't forgive me if I play with your woman, but it's fine if I kill you, go to hell!"

"General Rao..."

Before Wei Tong finished speaking, Zhang Wantao chopped off his head.

Five hundred soldiers immediately sealed off Wei Tong's seven treasuries. Wei Tong was in charge of the keys to the inner treasury of Empress Wei's palace. Wei Tong was so greedy that he moved half of the wealth in the palace treasury back to himself In the mansion, take it for yourself.

This is also the task Lu Gang entrusted to Zhang Wantao. He can kill Wei Tong, but he cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately, and he must also control Wei Tong's treasury.

……

In the darkness of night, [-] Western troops entered the city. Teams of Western troops rushed into the city, quickly controlled every vital part of the city, and surrounded the palace.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Bo, who had been promoted to the governor of Lin'an Mansion, ran into the study of Qin Hui's rear house, and shouted anxiously, "Uncle! Uncle!"

Qin Hui had just finished dinner and was reading in the study when he suddenly heard Wang Bo yell. He frowned, got up and walked out of the study, dissatisfied: "Quiet and quiet, what are you making so much noise about?"

"Uncle, something is wrong, the Western Army has entered the city!"

"what?"

Qin Hui was taken aback, "When did it happen?"

"It happened just now. The government office has been controlled by the Western Army. My nephew ran fast and came to report!"

Qin Hui turned around and ran to the inner house in a hurry, shouting: "Ma'am!"

Mrs. Wang came out and asked, "Master, what's the matter?"

"Follow me, the Western Army is entering the city!"

"Ah!" Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "I want to tidy up."

"It's too late, let's go!"

Qin Hui took his wife and fled to the back door, Wang Bo followed behind them.

Qin Hui bought a small courtyard of an ordinary family near the mansion. He planned to hide in the small courtyard for a while, and then looked for opportunities to leave the city.

Diagonally across from the back is the Qiantang county government office, and the small courtyard he bought is next to the county government office.

The three of them just ran out of the back door, but they encountered more than a hundred Western Army soldiers coming to block his back door, and the hundred Western Army soldiers immediately surrounded the three of them.

Qin Hui quickly clasped his fists and said: "Everyone misunderstood, I am the housekeeper!"

At this time, an official walked out and said with a sneer: "Mr. Qin actually willingly degenerated into a housekeeper. Isn't it a joke to spread the word?"

This official was Sima Chun, the county magistrate of Qiantang, who was Wei Tong's staff before. After Wang Bo was promoted to governor, Sima Chun was appointed as the county magistrate. Of course, he had secretly surrendered to the Western Army.

Qin Hui cursed angrily: "You bastard, how dare you eat inside and outside!"

Sima Chun shook his head, "My mission is to keep an eye on you and not let you escape."

Qin Hui and his wife were escorted back to the mansion and locked in the study, while Wang Bo was taken away.

In the study room, Qin Hui took out two small red bottles from a book, and said with a wry smile, "Chen Qing will never spare me. Rather than being humiliated and killed by him, it is better to kill myself!"

With trembling hands, he handed the red bottle to Wang Shi, who took the red bottle and looked at it for a while, then suddenly raised his head and drank it down.

"Master, I'll go first!"

She got up and stumbled into the back room. Qin Hui sighed, "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit!"

He raised the red bottle and drank it down, and the bottle fell to the ground with a clatter...

The next day, the soldiers guarding them discovered that the two had committed suicide by taking poison.

Wang Bo also could not escape death. Although he begged for mercy, Lu Gang ordered soldiers to strangle him to death with white silk.

Wang Bo was charged with the same crime as Qin Hui and his wife, colluding with the Jin people to betray the country.

……

Lin'an's population is only 10,000+, but the Western Army officially entered the city, and the people in the city cheered and the city was boiling.

Soldiers of the Western Army set up tents to provide porridge to the hungry people.

Empress Wei didn't know the news that the Western Army had entered the city until the next morning. She was so frightened that her heart went cold, and she hurriedly sent someone to look for Xiangguo. Before she left the palace, Xu Xiantu and Zhu Shengfei came.

The treatment of Xu Xiantu and Zhu Shengfei is different. Xu Xiantu is the same as Zhang Jun, and can still be reused by Chen Qing. Chen Qing has decided to set up seven ministers in the court. Both Xu Xiantu and Zhang Jun can be ministers. , Zhang Jun served as Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment.

But Zhu Shengfei was different. Chen Qing allowed him to return to his hometown to retire and live out his old age. Of course, he was 70 years old and had no chance, but his son Zhu Jun could continue to be the governor of Pingjiang Prefecture.

For the future of his children and grandchildren, Zhu Shengfei also worked hard.

Empress Wei listened to the two men's persuasion, and said for a while: "I can abdicate, or I can publicly issue an edict as the empress dowager of the Great Song Dynasty, recognizing Yong as orthodox, but I have two conditions!"

"Please think carefully, Queen Mother!"

The two no longer recognized Queen Wei's status as a monarch, and renamed her Queen Mother.

Empress Wei stared at the two of them for a while, then slowly said: "First, I have two sons, and we must ensure their safety!"

"The two of them are currently in Jingzhao. If the Empress Dowager wants them to be safe, then don't make excessive demands, otherwise you won't get anything!"

"What do you mean? You mean that Chen Qing will kill them?"

Zhu Shengfei bowed and said: "Forgive me, the queen mother is no longer qualified to ask for conditions. Qin Xianggong and his wife have committed suicide by taking poison, and Wei Guo's family was killed by Zhang Wantao. If the queen mother wants to transition safely, then don't ask for any conditions. Sign here and seal it with a seal!"

Zhu Shengfei took out an imperial edict, which was carefully prepared by him last night and was approved by Lu Gang.

When Queen Mother Wei heard that Zhang Wantao had killed all of her brother's family, she was both scared and sad. The Wei family was left behind.

She didn't dare to make any more conditions, so she took a pen and signed the edict, and at the same time handed over the box containing the emperor's seal to the two of them.

"The Queen Mother is wise!"

Empress Wei sighed, "Should I also go to Jingzhao?"

Xu Xiantu nodded, "The Empress Dowager should clean it up! When I leave the palace this afternoon, the Western Army will go into the palace to clean it up, and then seal the palace."

That afternoon, the Empress Dowager left the palace with more than 600 court ladies and eunuchs, and went to the camp outside the city, where the Western Army specially opened a camp within a camp for them to live in.

Ten days later, a fleet of hundreds of Wanshi ships left Qiantang Bay and headed for Jingzhao City.

The Wei Dynasty, which existed for less than a year, was completely destroyed.

As the empress dowager of the Great Song Dynasty, Webster issued an edict to the world, announcing the end of the Song Dynasty because there was no longer a royal heir, and at the same time recognizing Yong as the orthodox society and the legal successor of the Great Song Dynasty.

The first thousand and 510 chapters and three ascend the throne

Not long after the Empress Dowager Wei officially announced to the world, major events also happened in Jingzhao. Hundreds of officials, generals and hundreds of thousands of people repeatedly asked him to ascend the throne and become emperor. Chen Qing first declined, but the officials and generals asked him again, three times Request, Chen Qing finally agreed to ascend the throne.

On the fifth day of May, under the attention of hundreds of thousands of people and soldiers in Jingzhao, Chen Qing officially ascended the throne at Chengtianmen, received the congratulations of all officials, and then worshiped heaven and earth.

And changed the year name to Yongtai, this year is the first year of Yongtai.

Chen Qing then canonized the concubine Lu Xiu as the queen, the son Chen Ji as the crown prince, five concubines as the fifth concubine, and the other children as princes and princesses.

Chen Qing designated Jingzhao as the capital and amnesty the world at the same time.

Ascension to the throne is actually just a formality for Chen Qing, he has long been the Lord of the World, but some titles need to be changed, and there are no substantive changes in others.

After the enthronement ceremony, Chen Qing led a hundred officials to Lantian County to participate in the fall of the Danba Waterway.

The Danba Waterway is only three miles long. It dug a canyon about a hundred feet lower, and finally connected the Danshui River with the Bashui River, enabling Qianshi cargo ships to sail directly from the Yangtze River to Jingzhao.

The Danba waterway was nearly completed in the Tang Dynasty, but due to political reasons, the political center of the Tang Dynasty moved to Luoyang, and the Danba waterway was no longer valued, and soon collapsed.
