In the middle hall of the Dawang's Mansion in the south courtyard of Youzhou City, there are more than 20 important officials discussing behind closed doors at this moment, and everyone's expressions are nervous and dignified, just because in the early hours of this morning, there was a military report from the front, Xi Wang Xiao Gan was defeated in Zhuozhou, and the city was completely acquired by the Song army.

Yes, someone has already fled back to Youzhou with their grandson, and sent this emergency army information to the two sons of Yelu Xiongge, Yelu and Guang and Yelu and Yuan, who are now sitting in Youzhou. However, the two princes who were entrusted with important tasks were only in their early twenties, and they were inexperienced in the end, so they hurriedly invited many important officials in the city to the palace to discuss countermeasures. At the same time, they also blocked this news that might disturb the hearts of the army and the people, so that the city gate did not know that such a change had occurred on the front line, giving the Shandong army a chance to enter the city in a mixed manner.

And the bigger mistake they made was to gather together today, so that the garrisons of Youzhou City were leaderless, even if the Song army had entered the city and caused great turmoil, those garrisons and security personnel were still in chaos, and they could not make the most appropriate response at all, so that the entire Youzhou City was more completely chaotic, only to see the Song cavalry sprinting and galloping around, killing the Liao soldiers along the way, but there was no Liao soldier who could form a decent resistance.

At this moment, an even greater crisis has befallen the heads of these Liao officials and nobles who stayed in Nanjing. They were in a predicament, and suddenly outside the noisy rain, they heard the sound of killing in the front yard. Before they could open their mouths to call people, the closed hall door was slammed open, and several guards shouted with panic: "Lord Wang, ladies and gentlemen, it's not good, Song Jun, Song Jun has entered the palace!" ”

"What?" The people present all changed color and got up in an instant, and Xiao Fan, the current Nanjing garrison general, even pulled out the saber on his waist and shouted: "But are the Song people in the city making trouble?" As he spoke, he hurried out and was about to rush out.

"No, no, it was the cavalry of the Song army who suddenly entered the city......" Before this man's words fell, a series of screams sounded in the courtyard in front of him, and then these high-ranking officials and nobles of the Liao State who had gathered in front of the hall saw a scene that frightened them and made them unbelievable-

I saw several horsemen rushing from the front yard like a whirlwind, and with the swing of spears and short spears, they actually killed the guards who stood in their way. As soon as one of the soldiers jumped to attack, he was pierced through the chest by a spear that stabbed at him, and the whole person was thrown out as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, screaming and smashing into the crowd, and the blood and rain continued to splash and fall, which was really terrible to the extreme.

At this moment, these people were completely frightened by the terrible scene in front of them. Whether it is Yelu Xiongge's two sons or other nobles, although their identities are noble, when it comes to the ability and courage to fight, they are obviously far from being comparable to the soldiers of the Liao army on the front line.

You must know that the Liao State is actually the same as the Great Song Dynasty, and there has not really been a large-scale battle for more than a hundred years, for these nobles who grew up in the era of peace, such cruel life-and-death battles have only heard of it, and they have never thought that it will happen to them one day, so in this moment, they were completely shocked by the cavalry of the Song Army who kept rushing in.

And although the guards in the palace were barely resisting, they were far from being the elite opponents of this elite of the Song army. This time, they were not the elite of the Liao army, and the real elite had already been taken south by Yelu Xiongge and Xiao Gan to fight against the Song army, and those who stayed in Nanjing were only a few first-class soldiers.

The second is that they were suddenly attacked by a sneak attack, and they haven't recovered from the shock until now. Moreover, the weapons and armor were not complete, so they could only be regarded as a hasty response, and the infantry battle formation naturally could not withstand the continuous impact of the Song cavalry. It is also thanks to today's heavy rain that the Song army's bows and crossbows are not effective, otherwise I am afraid that more than 100 people here would have been shot and killed.

Last but not least, they are also at a disadvantage in terms of strength. Although the overall strength of Youzhou City is still twenty or thirty thousand, but scattered all over the city, there are only one or two hundred guards in this palace, and the Song army broke into the door but there are five or six hundred, and all of them are like wolves and tigers, almost only one rushed to kill, and killed nearly half of the Liao soldiers, and the others can only fight and retreat, and the collapse is just around the corner.

At this time, the Song army had also seen the group of Liao nobles gathered in front of the hall door, and their spirits were immediately lifted: "God really helps me, as long as I take down everyone here, the defenders of Youzhou will collapse without a fight, and my long-cherished wish of the Great Song Dynasty will be fulfilled today!" ”

Everyone had such a thought, and the attack of the soldiers became more and more fierce, even Sun Tu, who had always had reservations before, also lifted the reins at this moment, controlled the war horse and jumped up, and at the knife roll in his hand, the two enemies who were blocking the road screamed and fell, and he was about to rush up the steps when he saw it.

"Song people are so daring, let someone come and meet you for a while!" Seeing that the situation was critical, Xiao Fanqiang, who felt that he was burdened, suppressed the panic in his heart, and in the midst of the loud shouts, he jumped up to meet him, and the knife in his hand turned into a white light, splitting the rain curtain in front of him, and slashing straight towards Sun Tu.

Seeing this, the battle intent in Sun Tu's heart also suddenly burned, and he also shouted, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and he controlled the war horse to rush forward at full speed, and the knife in his hand also swept out horizontally, directly slashing at the opponent's knife.

This time, the two almost collided head-on, and even the angle of the knife was so compatible, and the two knives slammed into one place with a bang, and suddenly burst out a little spark. And in this collision, Xiao Fan's lack of strength was instantly exposed, after all, he only relied on his own strength to meet him, but Sun Tu came with the momentum of the horse, and this momentum was more than twice as strong as his.

As soon as his arms were numb, the knife in Xiao Fan's hand had been thrown to a high place, and his body lost his balance because of it, snorting, and flying backwards like a broken kite. And at this moment, Sun Tu slashed out with a knife at the same time as he retracted the knife, and the war horse under his crotch was still sweeping at full speed, so that he could easily catch up with Xiao Fan's figure.

Xiao Fan, who had no room to move and dodge, could only watch as the thunderous knife slashed straight into his neck, accompanied by his scream, the blade had entered his left neck, and pierced out of his right neck without the slightest hindrance, and in the pop, his big head had been separated from his body.

A desperate and terrible scream erupted from his mouth, Xiao Fan was completely exhausted, and his head was

Drawing an arc in the air, and finally with a pop, it fell into the arms of Yelu and Yuan, who had long been stunned by the killing in front of them, and a pair of eyes full of fear and pain stared directly at his face.

"Ah......" After a while, Yelu and Yuan screamed, their bodies softened, and they fell to the ground with a pop, and there was a large stream of liquid accompanied by a fishy smell in the lower body, and they were directly frightened by this human head.

And the reaction of the others was not much better than him, they were also trembling with fright, their faces were pale, not to mention fighting to the death like Xiao Fan, they couldn't even move.

Sun Tu had already controlled the horse and came to the corridor at this time, and the steel knife in his hand, which was still dripping blood, suddenly swung and pointed at the people in front of him, and shouted loudly: "If you want to live, quickly abandon your weapons and surrender." My Great Song soldiers don't kill the surrendered army! ”

The other Song soldiers had also killed the guards in front of them at this moment, and then quickly surrounded them from both sides, and at the same time shouted angrily: "Those who abandon their weapons and kneel on the ground will not die, and those who dare to resist will be killed!" ”

After only shouting twice, these people finally reacted, and after only a slight hesitation, some people fell to their knees and knelt down. With the first one to kneel, the people behind no longer have psychological pressure, in the blink of an eye, more than 20 people have all knelt on the ground, and in front of them is a bunch of weapons that have not yet been unsheathed, these nobles of the Liao State, none of them dare to resist again.

Seeing these people react like this, Sun Tu and the others were not only relieved, but also embarrassed. On the way here, even after opening the gate of Youzhou City and entering the city, they didn't dare to think that their next battle would be as smooth as it is now, and they actually only encountered a small amount of resistance to take down this large number of important members of the Liao army, and in terms of numbers, they should be one of the few people in charge of Youzhou City, even if there are still fish that have slipped through the net, I am afraid that it will be impossible to make waves again.

These existences, which were regarded as strong enemies by everyone in the past, are so vulnerable, greedy for life and afraid of death, this kind of gap between before and after is really unexpected. Is this still the old enemy of the Liao people who have been frightened by the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years and hope to defeat it one day?

Now it seems that not only the Song army has been weakened to a terrible point, but also the Liao people, who have always established the country by force. Don't look at the Liao army on the front line is still so brave and brave, but in fact, except for those tens of thousands of people, the Liao people in their rear have long lost the bloodiness and fearlessness that the ancestors of the Khitan people should have.

No wonder as soon as the Jurchen talent rises, it can sweep the entire Liao country in a devastating way, in the final analysis, it is not how powerful the Jurchens are, but the Liao people themselves are too uncompetitive. A hundred years of peace has already destroyed the foundation of the Liao people!

"Come on, tie them all up, and then pull them outside, so as to deter the whole city and help our soldiers take the whole city of Youzhou as soon as possible!" Sun Tu quickly settled down again and quickly gave an order. Taking down the palace and the officials here is only the first step, if you really want to control the entire Youzhou City in your own hands, you have to put down all the Liao troops in the city. However, capturing these Liao nobles alive created extremely favorable conditions for subsequent operations.
