The Song Dynasty shocked the world by earning 100 million at the beginning

Liu Yuanhui, who had just sat down, stood up quickly, raised his hands and shouted: "All troops mount up! Set off immediately!"

As soon as the soldiers had eaten two mouthfuls of dry food, they jumped on their horses and galloped away with Liu Yuanhui.

"Dashuai Liu! What's going on? Are you going to leave after just two bites of Sajia?" Xing Ai asked while chewing naan bread in his mouth.

Liu Yuanhui frowned and said: "The West Route Army has captured Shezhou City, Wuzhen and Yuhang, but it has suffered heavy casualties and low morale! Moreover, the West Route Army has Fang La's skill. If we don't rush to help, once the West Route Army is defeated, Fang La will be in trouble." All the troops will be hit to surround our small force! We will definitely have no chance of winning by then!"

"Xi Zuo? There is a rebel Xi Zuo in the Liangshan army? Who is it?!" Lin Chong asked loudly.

Liu Yuanhui suddenly remembered something and replied: "It's not clear yet! By the way, Coach Lin, I want to assign you some military affairs!"

"That's all the Commander-in-Chief orders!"

"Ask Leader Lin to have a thousand Liangshan cavalry to ambush at the only official road between Hangzhou and Shezhou. If Fang La sends reinforcements to Shezhou, ask Leader Lin to stop the attack! Liangshan is fighting hard now, and the consequences of being flanked by reinforcements again will be disastrous. This matter is of great importance, so be extremely cautious!”

"Although Lin Chong would rather go to Shezhou to help the Liangshan brothers, it is true that the reinforcements are more important. Lin Chong takes the order!"

After saying that, he took a thousand cavalry and left in the other direction.

Liu Yuanhui quickly rushed to Shezhou City with the remaining loyal troops.

In the early morning of the next day, three thousand elite loyal troops followed Liu Yuanhui and finally arrived near Shezhou City.

The brutality of the battle far exceeded Liu Yuanhui's imagination!

The river near Shezhou City has been dyed red, and the bodies of unattended Liangshan soldiers are floating everywhere on the river.

Liu Yuanhui sent someone to fish out the body and bury it.

Then he led the red-eyed crowd and walked more than fifty miles outside Shezhou City to find the camp of the Liangshan West Route Army.

At this time, the camp was already in chaos——

There were wounded soldiers everywhere, and there were piles of corpses that had no time to bury, and the smell of putrid corpses was everywhere. The surviving soldiers were all downcast and lifeless.

Liu Yuanhui led Xing Ai and Yue Fei towards Song Jiang's handsome tent.

When they arrived at the tent, they heard bursts of crying coming from inside.

The three of them hurriedly walked into the tent and saw that everyone was crying around a corpse. The corpse had red hair and large red birthmarks on its face - it was Liu Tang, the red-haired ghost of Liangshan general who first followed Song Jiang.

Liu Yuanhui was stunned for a moment, and murmured for a long time: "How could it be so tragic?"

Everyone heard the sound and turned around to see that it was Liu Yuanhui who was back.

They were stunned for a moment, and then, as if they had finally found their backbone, they all gathered around to tell the story of the battle, with tears streaming down their cheeks as they spoke.

It turned out that the Liangshan army came to camp outside Shezhou City after a narrow escape. That night, the camp was attacked by rebels in Shezhou City, and most of the food and grass were burned.

Afterwards, everyone in Liangshan attacked the city many times, but no matter whether they attacked by force, sneak attack or night attack, Shezhou City stood still.

On the other hand, there were countless casualties on Liangshan's side!

Liu Yuanhui looked at the corpses on the ground and said to everyone in a deep voice: "Brothers! Let's bury Liu Tang and the soldiers who died in the battle first, then retreat thirty miles to reorganize the army, and then plan to attack the city!"

"No!" a shout came from behind the crowd.

Liu Yuanhui looked behind the crowd and saw Gao Qiu sitting on a chair and drinking tea leisurely.

Passing through the crowd, he stepped forward and asked coldly: "Why not?"

"I have issued an order to capture Shezhou City as soon as possible, and then encircle the rebels' home base of Hangzhou with a large army!"

"With such an attack method, when Shezhou is captured, I'm afraid there won't be much of an army left, right?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Literal meaning!" Liu Yuanhui said in a deep voice: "The army needs to be repaired and will not attack the city immediately."

"What if I don't agree?"

"Then Lieutenant Gao can go attack Shezhou by himself and set an example for the entire army! How about that?"

"you!"

Song Jiang saw the two arguing and stepped forward to persuade him: "Dashuai Liu, look..."

"No need to persuade me anymore. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, I am the commander-in-chief of the entire army. Lieutenant Gao is only the supervisor of the army. Regardless of fighting, if the Lieutenant has any objections, he can report to the court to impeach me, Liu Yuanhui!"

"...Hmph!" Gao Qiu was speechless, stood up and walked away.

After Gao Qiu left, everyone carried away Liu Tang's body.

As soon as Liu Yuanhui sat down, a wounded soldier ran into the tent and shouted: "Report! Wang Ying was defeated in the city, please send troops for support!"

After saying this, the soldier fell down and fainted.

Liu Yuanhui stood up and asked, "What's going on?"

Lu Junyi, who was covered in blood, stepped forward and said: "The attack has been unfavorable in recent days. Gao Qiu ordered us to choose a general to lead five thousand soldiers and horses to attack the city every day! Today it is Wang Ying and Hu Sanniang's turn!"

Liu Yuanhui slapped the case and shouted angrily: "They are attacking the city in broad daylight! Why don't you stop Gao Qiu's stupid pig-like tactics!"

Song Jiang took a step forward and said, "Captain Gao is the censor sent by the emperor. How dare I not listen to his words?"

Liu Yuanhui glared at Song Jiang and said, "Is it possible that he told you to die and you died too?"

"If you let me die, I have to die!" Song Jiang replied.

Liu Yuanhui's temples were pounding. He ignored Song Jiang and shouted outside the tent: "Hua Rong, Yue Fei! Quickly lead the loyal army and follow me to Shezhou City!"

"The last general takes command!"

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Yuanhui led everyone to the foot of Shezhou City.

I saw that the city in front was extremely tall. The entire city wall was made of molten iron and was covered with iron nails and barbs.

A three-foot-wide moat surrounds the city, which is simply a steel fortress!

The huge stones thrown by the catapults had no effect on the armored city. The ladders were placed on the city walls but could not reach the top of the city.

In the distance, Wang Ying and Hu Sanniang were personally going into battle to attack the city. Wang Ying, who was strong and agile, stepped on the top of the ladder and jumped up to the city wall. However, he was outnumbered and was soon knocked down from the city and fell into the moat.

Seeing this, Hu Sanniang quickly put away the two knives in her hands, threw the red scarf lasso from her waist to Wang Ying in the moat, and then rode on her horse and slowly pulled Wang Ying to the shore.

The soldiers at the top of the city were filled with ambition when they saw this, and they drew their bows and prepared to shoot the two men.

However, at this moment, arrows rained down from the sky!

A large number of defenders at the top of the city were shot down by arrows!

"Where did the bow and arrow come from! How did it hit such a high city wall?!" a rebel leader shouted and looked outside the city.

I saw a group of cavalry lined up neatly behind Wang Ying's siege army.

Liu Yuanhui shouted in front of the formation: "Get ready! Release again!"

Under the command of Liu Yuanhui, the Jingzhong Army once again drew its heavy bows and fired arrows.

The defenders on the top of the city were "suppressed by firepower" and could not lift their heads at all.

The loyal army with superb archery skills shot all the arrows on the top of the city, and not a single one was wasted!

Wang Ying had been rescued by Hu Sanniang at the bottom of the city. He spat twice and was wondering why no one in the city was shooting arrows and throwing rolling stones anymore. When he turned around, he saw Liu Yuanhui's cavalry.

Wang Ying was overjoyed and said to Hu Sanniang: "Madam! Marshal Liu has brought the elite and loyal troops to support! Let's attack again!"

Hu Sanniang pulled out the two swords from her waist and said, "Okay! Let's see how I deal with them!"

They were about to board the city when they suddenly heard someone behind them shouting: "Brother Wang Ying! Sister-in-law Sanniang! Marshal Liu has ordered us to retreat immediately!"

The two of them turned around and saw that it was Hua Rong who had come to give them a message.
