Fenghou

Chen Qing sneered, "General Zhang wants to capture me alive, so I should be promoted to the third rank!"

Zhang Zhongyan's old background was exposed, and he couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, and cursed: "Bastard, I will give you one last chance. If you don't drink the toast and eat fine wine, this general will kill you!"

Chen Qing pulled back his skirt, exposed his chest, and shouted sharply: "Brothers, our thousand Song Erlang retreated to cover the main force, fought to the death with 50 Jurchen cavalry, killed countless enemies, and broke through from the army of thousands of horses. Killed hundreds of Jurchen sentry cavalry, and only [-] of the thousand brothers are left, if you want to betray your ancestors, betray the country and seek glory, I will give you what you want, just take this life!"

Fifty soldiers also put down their weapons one after another, ripped off their jackets, exposed their bruised chests, and shouted, "Go ahead and kill! We Da Song Erlang will never frown."

Zhao Xiaoyi raised the battle flag, and the battered and battered army flag appeared in the air, with the words "serve the country with a heart and swear to kill the gold thief" written in blood on it.

The soldiers of the Song Army all around were all moved. They finally learned the truth and put down their bows and arrows one after another.

Zhang Zhongyan was furious, "Wang Ping, Lu Shaowu, Zhang Qun, do you dare to disobey my military order? Give me an order to shoot arrows!"

Several generals remained silent, and none of the soldiers would shoot arrows without their orders.

Zhang Zhongyan had no choice but to turn around and ordered more than [-] soldiers around him, "Hurry up and get the army crossbow!"

The guards rushed to the small stone house where the crossbows were stored on the city wall. At this moment, a large group of soldiers rushed up the city along the corridor. It was the deputy general Li Hua who led more than a hundred soldiers to arrive, and they immediately surrounded Zhang Zhongyan's guards.

Zhang Zhongyan was taken aback. Isn't Li Hua under house arrest?

He pointed at Li Hua and stammered, "You...how did you come out?"

Li Hua sneered and said, "Zhang Zhongyan, do you think all the soldiers will betray their country and seek glory like you?"

Zhang Zhongyan was a little panicked, and shouted to the surrounding soldiers, "Whoever shoots and kills Chen Qing will be promoted to three ranks and rewarded with three thousand guan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a general behind him shouted: "I will receive this reward!"

A cold light flashed, and the general raised his knife and cut off Zhang Zhongyan's neck from behind.

……

At the same moment when Zhang Zhongyan was beheaded, a 2000-strong army was rushing towards Chunhua County.

The dress of this army is a bit strange. They are not Jurchens or Khitans. They are all Han Chinese. They also wear black lacquered leather armor of the Song army, but the helmet is the bronze helmet of the former Liao army, and the military flag is also a white dragon on a black background. flag.

The white dragon flag on the black background exposed the details of this army. They were the Qi State army just established, which was the army of the puppet Qi Liuyu in history.

There were only [-] Jurchen iron cavalry attacking Guanzhong, and their strength was insufficient. Emperor Wan Yansheng of the Jin Dynasty ordered Liu Yu to send troops to support them.

Liu Yu didn't dare to disobey the order, and immediately sent his younger brother Liu Yi to lead an army of [-] troops into Shaanxi, but they came too late, and the Battle of Fuping was over, which really dissatisfied Wanyan and Lou Shi.

This puppet Qi army of 2000 people was the army sent by Wanyan Loushi to Chunhua County to accept the surrender of Zhang Zhongyan.

The chief general is Wang Shijie, who wields an iron spear, is proficient in bow and horse, and has high martial arts skills. He is less than five miles away from Chunhua County. Shijie ordered the army to rest on the spot and sent a Marquis Yu to Chunhua County to make contact.

The struggle in Chunhua County was over, Zhang Zhongyan and his 37 followers were all beheaded, the deputy commander Li Hua took over Zhang Zhongyan's army, and Chen Qinghe was appointed commander Yao Ling as the left and right deputy.

Chen Qing was unwilling to accept Li Hua's appointment, but he couldn't shirk it again and again, so he had to reluctantly accept it.

On the top of the city, Chen Qing was thinking about where to go next. Li Hua wanted to go to Pingliang Mansion on Jingyuan Road to join Liu Kai, the governor of the capital, but Chen Qing didn't want to go. Sanguan and the main force of the Bazi Army converge.

"General Chen! General Chen!"

A soldier called twice before Chen Qing realized he was calling himself.

"What's the matter?"

"Commander Li, please go over, there is something urgent!"

Chen Qing followed the soldiers to the south of the city, Li Hua stepped forward and said in a low voice: "There is an army from the south, it is Liu Yu's army, Wanyan Loushi sent them to accept the surrender, and the envoys are already under the city. "

Chen Qing glanced under the city with his head, and saw three sergeants standing under the city, the leader was a section-level officer, looking up the city with his head.

"Commander Li wants to annihilate this army?"

Li Hua nodded. If it was the Jurchen cavalry who came to accept the surrender, he might not have the courage, but the opponent is the puppet Qi army, and there are only 2000 people, so he has an idea.

Chen Qing smiled slightly and said, "Then use tricks."

"But Zhang Zhongyan is dead!"

"But they don't know Zhang Zhongyan!"

Li Hua slapped himself hard on the forehead, really confused.

"I have a solution, let's arrange it!"

They have a common head, with the same thick beard as Zhang Zhongyan, and the same body shape, and they have a little thicker eyebrows to make them look alike.

……

The gate of the city opened slowly, 'Zhang Zhongyan' came out with all the generals, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "My commander, Zhang Zhongyan, may I ask the general's name?"

"During the New Deal in Xialu, the Qi army took Yuhou under his tent, and came to contact the matter of accepting the surrender by order of my general!"

"May I ask who your general is?"

"The commander, Wang Shijie, came to accept the surrender under the order of Marshal Wanyan!"

"Marquis Lu Yu, please enter the city and discuss in detail!"

"Please!"

All the stars and the moon invited Lu Yuhou into the county...

After drinking a few glasses of wine in the city and collecting dozens of taels of silver, Lu Yuhou's attitude became much better.

He left the city in less than half an hour, and he told Zhang Zhongyan: "Just pay attention to the points I said. First, the flag must be changed. The white flag can be temporarily displayed, but the Song flag can no longer be hung; second, the soldier's left arm is tied. Put white gauze; third, prepare barracks, wine and meat, slaughter more pigs and sheep, prepare more wine, and find more than a hundred women, we have traveled a long distance from Bianjing, and we really need to rest."

"Don't worry! I will arrange these."

Walking out of the city gate, Lu Yuhou thought of another thing, "By the way, when the army arrives, let the brothers lay down their weapons and gather outside the city, and we will reorganize together at that time."

"I know, there will be no mistakes!"

Lu Yuhou left with his men, and Li Hua summoned several generals to discuss, "Let's talk about it, what should we do next?"

Yao Ling, the envoy of soldiers and horses, said: "I have a plan. I will pick a thousand strong men inside the city, and let them pretend to be surrendered soldiers to assemble outside the city. We happen to have spare armor, and then the brothers lie in ambush above the urn city. When the enemy enters the city, our urn city It's quite big, just right in the urn to kill a turtle!"

Several generals applauded, "Good strategy!"

Seeing that Chen Qing was deep in thought and silent, Li Hua asked, "What does General Chen mean?"

"I think this plan is good, but there are loopholes!"

Yao Ling raised his eyebrows, and said with dissatisfaction: "What loopholes will there be?"

"A thousand people must be honest and obedient, don't make mistakes, don't be seen by the enemy, ten people are okay, a hundred people are enough, but 1000 people...does General Yao think it's achievable?

They are not soldiers, but civilians. Some are afraid of being massacred, some want to find a chance to sneak home, and some want to escape in the chaos. "

Everyone nodded silently. It is really unreliable for untrained civilians to pretend to be soldiers. Generals with a little experience can tell that they are pretending at a glance.

Seeing that the crowd did not support him, Yao Ling was secretly annoyed, and snorted coldly, "I would like to hear General Chen's opinion!"

Chen Qing said calmly: "The more complicated any strategy is, the easier it is to give away. Simple is the kingly way!"

Yao Ling pouted, "It's easy to say, how do you lure them into the city?"

Li Xiu smiled lightly, "Take advantage of the weakness of human nature!"

Chapter 12 Disagreement

Half an hour later, Wang Shijie led [-] troops to the city. From a distance, he saw thick smoke billowing in the city, and the flames were soaring into the sky, and a woman's cries were faintly heard.

Wang Shijie looked at each other in dismay, secretly screaming in his heart that something was wrong.

"what happened?"

When Wang Shijie saw that the opponent's army did not gather outside the city as promised, his face sank immediately, and he asked Lu Yuhou, "Did you tell them to gather outside the city?"

Lu Yuhou stammered: "The humble job told them!"

"Since I said it, what about the person?"

"Humble job to ask."

Marquis Lu Yu ran towards the city gate. The city gate was open, and there were two old army leaders sitting outside.

Lu Yuhou asked about the situation and ran back again.

"General, Zhang Zhongyan plundered the county town wantonly, wanting to make a profit before surrendering."

Wang Shijie was furious, "Fucking shit! He's got enough, what shall we eat?"

Wang Shijie wanted to plunder after taking over the county seat. Money and women were their most eager targets. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhongyan took the lead.

Immediately, he was burning with impatience, and immediately ordered: "The army enters the city!"

All the soldiers were so anxious that they ran towards the gate of the county seat.

Two thousand soldiers rushed into the urn city, and the inner gate on the opposite side of the urn city was also opened, and they could see the situation on the street. They saw thick smoke billowing on the street, piled up with large boxes, and many young women in bright dresses were crying and shouting. Running around.

The puppet Qi army's eyes were red with anxiety, and they scrambled to rush into the city. Just as they were about to reach the inner city gate, the inner city gate was closed with a bang.

The soldiers were furious, rushed up and kicked the city gate, "Open the door! Open the door quickly!"

Wang Shijie also entered the Wengcheng, the flag covered his sight, he couldn't see what was happening ahead, so he hurriedly asked, "What happened ahead?"

A soldier ran back to report, "I don't know what happened, the gate of the inner city was suddenly closed!"

Wang Shijie was startled, then suddenly realized, and shouted, "No, retreat quickly!"

Before his order could be heard, more than a dozen barrels of kerosene were suddenly thrown from above the city gate. The wooden barrel fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces. A few torches ignited on the ground, and the flames spread rapidly.

The soldiers inside the city gate were terrified, and rushed to the urn desperately, and the soldiers standing on the suspension bridge also ran away. In just a short moment, there was no soldier inside or outside the city gate.

There was no obstacle, the gate of the outer city creaked and closed, and the ambushes on the top of the Wengcheng City were all over the city, and they shot arrows into the city together, and the puppet Qi soldiers were shot down wailing.

The chief general Wang Shijie who was riding on the horse was the first to bear the brunt. He was shot like a hedgehog by dozens of arrows and fell off his horse screaming.

……

At this time, Chen Qing led [-] cavalrymen around the south gate, and there were [-] soldiers outside, all old and weak soldiers in charge of logistics.

These puppet Qi soldiers were at a loss when they saw a cavalry team approaching like lightning, they turned around and fled in shock, but their legs couldn't run the horses, and they were caught up in a moment, and the cavalry stabbed them with spears from behind, and they were killed in a moment Dozens of people.

Chen Qing waved his gun and shouted: "Surrender will not die! Surrender will not die!"

The remaining old and weak soldiers knelt down and begged for mercy. There were more than a dozen people who refused to surrender and were chased and killed by the cavalry.

Chen Qing urged his horse to catch up with a military official who was running wildly. He recognized this person as Lu Yuhou who had come to contact him before. Chen Qing stabbed him in the back with a big iron gun.

When Lu Yuhou heard the rapid sound of horseshoes behind him, he was flustered, stepped on the ground, and fell heavily to the ground. When he turned his head, he saw the sharp spear point stabbing at him, which scared him out of his wits and shouted: " I have important information!"

The sharp tip of the gun stopped at his neck, and Chen Qing asked coldly, "What information?"

"It's important information about Jingzhao City. Jingzhao City is empty. There are less than 3000 Jurchen soldiers and [-] Han troops."

"You said earlier that there were tens of thousands of Qi troops supporting Guanzhong, but why are there only 3000?"

"Wanyan Loushi resolutely opposes the Qi army entering the pass. He is afraid that they will pick peaches, so they are not allowed to come to Jingzhao. Tens of thousands of Qi troops are still in Tongzhou. Only 3000 Qi troops have been transferred to Jingzhao to maintain order. Get rid of us. There are only [-] left."

"This information can't change your life!"

Lu Yuhou was terrified, and suddenly shouted: "There is also... and Wanyan Loushi is seriously ill, and he is in Jingzhao City."

Chen Qing stared at his eyes for a while, then retracted the iron gun, "Tie him up!"

Lu Yuhou felt relieved and collapsed on the ground.

……

Corpses were piled up in the urn city, and blood flowed like a river. Each corpse was full of arrows. Dozens of soldiers of the Song army looked at the corpses in the urn city.

"Found it!" An excited soldier raised Wang Shijie's head high, and the surrounding soldiers immediately cheered.

Li Hua stood on the top of the city and looked coldly at the puppet soldiers of the Qi army who died in battle in the urn. Hearing that there was looting in the city, they rushed into the city one by one. These people did not know how many cities they looted and how many women they abused. Death is not a pity.

Chen Qing walked over quickly, Li Hua nodded approvingly to Chen Qing, Chen Qing saw through human nature, and used a very simple trick to lure him into the city, even a counselor might not be able to use this trick.

"How is it? Has the enemy army escaped outside the city?"

"Taken 170 prisoners of war, killed 29, none escaped."

Li Hua happily said with a smile: "These prisoners happened to be handed over to Liu Dutong to prove our contribution!"

Chen Qing hesitated, "There is an important piece of information about Jingzhao City."

Chen Qing recounted the information provided by Lu Yuhou.

Li Hua narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you think this information is reliable?"

"The lowly officials repeatedly questioned. Tens of thousands of puppet Qi troops are still in Tongzhou. Only their 2000 vanguard troops entered Jingzhao. Today's [-] people are part of them. The news should be reliable. General, this is a rare opportunity."
