I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

After several days of trekking, the Khitan infantry arrived at Yingzhou City with a large number of siege equipment.

Xiao Zhan also led his cavalry to cover every inch of land in Yingzhou, and finally believed that there was only one Song army in Yingzhou City in Yingzhou.

“Where are the variables?”

Reluctantly, Xiao Zhan returned to Yingzhou City and said coldly: "The whole army must gather and besiege Yingzhou."

"Report...general, Lord Batulu has not returned."

Xiao Zhan looked at Tusu'er and said, "What's going on?"

Tusuer smiled and said: "General Qi, Batulu is chasing the Song army who left the city, and may have missed the time."

Xiao Zhan naturally understood that they wanted to be lazy and said directly: "It's important to attack the city. Come back quickly."

"There are three shortcomings in the siege, and the south gate is not attacked. If the Song army has the intention to break out of the city, just let them go. The infantry is not allowed to stop them, and the cavalry follows and attacks."

"The main attack is on the east gate. I will personally supervise the battle. Yerunan and Tusuer, you two each lead [-] infantry to pretend to attack the west and north gates, day and night, so that the Song army cannot rest."

"Yes." The two of them took the order and left.

Tusuer sat at the north gate and complained to the captains under his command: "What's going on with Baturu? It's okay to be slack on weekdays, but why don't you know your priorities at such a moment? General Xiao is obviously avenging his son. He But he ran away."

"Send someone quickly and ask him to come back to me. Don't delay the fight, otherwise I want him to look good."

"Yes" A group of cavalry took the order and left.

Xiao Zhan stood on the huge stair-climbing car, looked straight at Yingzhou City, and said coldly: "Let go" with no expression on his face.

As Xiao Zhan finished speaking, a herald beside him waved a cyan flag.

Huge rocks flew towards Yingzhou City like raindrops.

At this moment in Yingzhou City, since Wang Quan seized power, he has protected Cai You, Wang Zhen and other civil servants in the government office in the name of "protection".

In addition to preventing Cai You from intervening in military affairs, Wang Quan also kept every detail in mind and reported to Cai You every day.

"My lord, the Khitan's [-] soldiers and horses have been assembled. They are not just pretending to attack like you said.

There are no shortage of siege engines, catapults, and siege ladders.

Four city gates surrounded three of them, trying to kill them! "

Cai You no longer had the same demeanor as before, and sighed: "General Wang, wait and see, if the Khitans really want to kill me, the general doesn't have to show mercy."

Cai You still had a trace of fantasy in his heart, imagining that the Khitans were acting.

"Yes, the last general...".

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud "swish...swish" sound, and looked up to see large rocks being thrown in from outside the city.

"The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking, the Khitans are attacking the city."

Without caring about anything else, Wang Quandao said: "My lord, please find a safe place first. Eventually we will have to return to the city wall."

The Khitan catapults threw stones for a quarter of an hour. All the arrow towers and sentries in Yingzhou City were destroyed, and not a single soldier was seen on the city wall.

Xiao Zhan waved his hand and said: "Stop, change the kerosene, and get ready to climb the city."

The herald beside him kept shouting flags.

"Light the fire and set it off."

Cans of kerosene were lit and thrown into Yingzhou City. Rows of soldiers, carrying siege ladders and pushing cones and siege vehicles, slowly moved forward.

In Yingzhou City, although Wang Quan had already prepared buckets and sand on various streets in the city to prevent the Khitan people from attacking with fire, the previous trebuchets had damaged a lot and they were unable to control the fire for a while.

"General, the Khitans are coming up."

Not caring about anything else, Wang Quan turned around and ran towards the city wall.

Looking at the sergeants who were looking down at the city as if they were admiring the scenery, Wang Quan roared: "Are you all waiting to die? Shoot arrows for me. Are all the supervising troops dead?"

When everyone saw Wang Quan scolding, they remembered that they were defending the city. They raised their bows and arrows and shot down the city, no matter where they went.

Wang Quan said angrily: "You are fooling the labor and management. I will kill you first before the Khitan people come up."

As he spoke, he drew his sword and stared at everyone with tiger eyes.

Teams of war supervisors holding swords stood behind him, killing anyone who was afraid of the enemy.

It can be seen that after such a stunned effort, the Khitan siege ladder was set up on the city wall, and the Khitan soldiers began to climb up.

"Golden juice, when it boils, pour it down. The sword and shield men come forward to protect me, and the rocks are thrown down. The crossbowmen stand back and don't stop." Wang Quan watched the Khitan offensive and kept changing orders. .

"Clang" A soldier made a mistake and spilled the golden juice. The stench hit his face. The surrounding soldiers felt the hot breath and retreated to the side. There was a pause. This wall is empty.

The Khitan soldiers felt that the attack here was slowing down, so they set up a siege ladder and climbed up. Wang Quan hurriedly stepped forward and kicked away the soldier who made the mistake. He stood in front of him and blocked the Khitan soldiers' blade with his horizontal sword. :"go away."

"Kill me."

In the blink of an eye, three or four Khitan soldiers had climbed up the ladder, and they rushed around to try to place more ladders.

Wang Quan hacked to death the Khitan who climbed the city wall first and said: "Don't panic, don't be afraid, hold still, form a formation, and drive the Khitan down."

More and more Khitans climbed up and scattered directly on the wall of Nuoda City. Except for the people protecting Wang Quan, no one listened to orders at all.

The soldiers were making a fuss, some were running around in a hurry and trying to get down to the city, some were trying to kill the Khitan people but were blocked, and many more were confused and didn't know what to do.

Wang Quan stared at the endless ant-like Khitan people under the city and said to the guards around him: "Throw fire oil under the city to prevent the Khitan people from ascending the city and clear the city wall."

A few Jianbu chopped down a few of the screaming ones, came to the supervising team, picked up the knife and put it on their necks and said: "Those who make trouble, those who don't listen to orders will be killed by me."

Several people looked at each other, but no one moved. Wang Quan directly chopped down one of them, then raised another one with a knife and said, "Those who don't obey orders will die."

Wang Quan took the sword and led the soldiers and said: "My father is..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Quan wiped his neck directly. The rest of the people were afraid and entered the scene to eliminate those who were running around and yelling for destruction.

At this time, a large amount of kerosene was thrown away at the base of the city wall. Wang Quan dropped a torch, and suddenly, a huge fire suddenly surrounded the east city.

The Khitans retreated, but there were still hundreds of Khitans left on the city wall.

Wang Quan led his men to surround them, and the Khitans did not panic. They quickly formed a formation under the leadership of a centurion and began to defend.

In order to climb the city wall flexibly and quickly, most of the Khitan soldiers who boarded the city did not have armor and held sharp swords to confront the Song army.

Wang Quan was not in a hurry. The raging fire made the Khitan people afraid to approach.

"Who is willing to step forward and kill these northern barbarians?"

"General, I am willing to go, I...I...and I..."

For a time, the sound of shouting filled the entire city wall.

"superior". Wang Quan gave the order, and the Song army pounced directly, fearing that they would be too slow and would not have a chance.

Seeing the archer ready to shoot, Wang Quan stopped him.

He wanted to see what the level of these Song Imperial Guards and Xiang soldiers was.

"He is commendable for his courage. He has no rules, is extremely easily distracted, and looks a bit like a country warrior. He can be used for it." Wang Quan commented from the side.

"Retreat, advance the forbidden troops." Wang Quan ordered.

The Xiang troops who were fighting in front were completely unmoved by this order and continued to go back and forth with the Khitan people.

Wang Quan had no choice but to ask his personal guards to step forward and withdraw them.

"General, you asked me to kill them! I almost stabbed one to death." The Xiang army who was forced to retreat by Wang Quan said dissatisfied.

The guard on the side scolded: "Military orders are like mountains. Anyone who doesn't obey the orders will be killed." He drew his sword and slashed at the Song soldier who spoke. Everyone was stunned by this move. I wonder why?

Wang Quan, with quick hands and quick eyes, blocked it with his scabbard and said, "I won't do this next time." Then he praised: You are all good men of the Song Dynasty. You have no shortage of courage and dare to fight the Khitan thieves. But you are soldiers, and soldiers must obey military orders and enforce orders and prohibitions. , this is a war, not a fight for water in your village,"

While Wang Quan was speaking, the imperial army of the Song Dynasty fought against the Khitan soldiers trapped on the city wall.

Compared with the Xiang Army, the Forbidden Army still has something special. The unconscious formation, steady steps, the weapons waved in the hands, and the sound of breaking through the air all speak of elites.

"Why do they always stay in this position?" Someone started to whisper.

Wang Quan didn't look very good and said: "Go ahead, kill them all."

All the Imperial Guards looked at each other. Finally, the sword and shield man in front slowly stepped forward. Unexpectedly, the Khitan man rushed over. He was so frightened that he threw away his shield and ran back. As he ran, he brought the entire army with him. Forbidden troops, all of a sudden, the city was in chaos again.

After a long time, Wang Quan led his people to calm down the turmoil.

All the Khitan soldiers were tied up and kneeling on the ground.

Looking at the Imperial Guards on the side, Wang Quan couldn't help but sigh. They looked good and showed them to the emperor. They had been raised for too long and they no longer had the courage to fight.

In a fight between the Forbidden Army and the Xiang soldiers, it's hard to say who will win. The emperor actually asked them to go on the Northern Expedition...

"Everyone will line up, starting from the Imperial Guards, and each of them will take a knife from the Khitan soldiers. If you don't want to, you will be tied up here and captured. I, the good man of the Song Dynasty, am not a wimp."

Although some people were unwilling, their hands were stained with blood as they did not want to die. Since then, their eyes seemed to have changed in some way, but they were also timid and lay aside and kept vomiting, but even so, they retched while retching hard. He stabbed the Khitan soldiers fiercely.

"Go to the south of Nancheng and transfer five hundred Yongzhou soldiers."

The combat effectiveness of this group of forbidden troops and side soldiers was beyond description. Wang Quan felt that any random civilians in a border army city could defend the city better than them.

If it hadn't been for that fire, Yingzhou City would have changed hands.

But there is not much kerosene in reserve, and the fire, nearly half of it, cannot be consumed.

...

Xiao Zhan stood on the siege truck and quietly watched the scene happening on the Yingzhou city wall, and said angrily: "Is the Song army only that good?"

"General Song Gou actually tied up our soldiers and slaughtered them. I hope the general will order to attack this city and kill all Song Gou." The messenger on the side said.

"Withdraw." Xiao Zhan added: "The city wall is hot at this time, which is not conducive to our army's attack on the city."

After returning to the camp, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but lose his temper. He picked up a sword in the tent and kept slashing at the desk, muttering: "The Song Army is only at this level, but it is only at this level."

Yerunan, who came after hearing the sound, asked Tusuer who had already rushed to the side: "General, what's going on? Isn't it bad that the Song army is weak?"

Tusu'er touched his bald head and said, "They say I'm stupid, but you don't seem to be smart either! General, why are you here?"

"That's why..." Yerunan suddenly realized.

The Song army was so incompetent, and his son was defeated by the Song army. Doesn't this mean that his son is even more useless?

This was unacceptable to the arrogant and conceited Xiao Zhan. His son was a waste.

If you don't care about casualties, you can capture Yingzhou in an hour. You must know that city defense is the simplest of all wars.

After a while, Xiao Zhan calmed down and walked out of the tent and said: "The Song army cannot be so weak. There must be an ambush. We will send another five thousand cavalry."

"General..."

Xiao Zhan looked at Tusu'er and said, "Where's Batulu? He's not back yet?"

Tusu'er lowered his head and wanted to exhort him instead, "We have sent two groups of people and they will be back before dinner in the evening."

Xiao Zhan walked back to the camp without saying a word, only a few people looked at each other.
