Chapter 264: A Big Victory

Yelu Chongyuan rode on a horse, and saw that the army was blocked under the city by the iron armor of Thirteen Lang, and he couldn't even set up the ladder attached to the ants, and he couldn't help but be furious.

At this moment, a fast horse came over, and when he arrived, he dismounted and saluted, and said with a forked hand: "King, the reinforcements of the Song army are approaching!" ”

Yelu Chongyuan said angrily: "Aren't there 10,000 soldiers and horses guarding there?!" ”

The soldier who reported the message said: "Back to the king, the guns of the Song army are like cannons, they can shoot projectiles, how can they resist it?" Although the army was there to defend it, it was really unable to stop it. It won't be long before that side will collapse! ”

How can Yelu Chongyuan be trusted? The Song army who came did not have more than 10,000 people, how could it be possible to defeat their own 10,000 people in such a short time? The Khitan fought against the Central Plains army and had not yet experienced such a thing.

At this moment, Xiao Ge hurriedly came over and said to Yelu Chongyuan: "King, the Song army over there can't resist it, this battle has been defeated!" Quickly lead the soldiers and horses to retreat, Tanglong Town can't be attacked! Although the Song army that came did not have artillery, everyone had muskets, and there was really no way! ”

Yelu Chongyuan said: "What about the musket? It's not like we've never seen it! It's nothing more than a little stronger than a bow and crossbow. What is the use of muskets by choosing elite warriors and letting them approach melee combat? There will be brave men under the heavy reward, give more rewards! ”

Xiao Ge said: "King, there are thousands of muskets in the Song army, which are completely different from what we have seen before, and we can't get close!" This battle is unbeatable! ”

Yelu Chongyuan looked at Tanglong Town not far away, and said to Xiao Ge: "Is that really the case? If the Song army is invincible, what is the use of us fleeing! ”

Xiao Ge said: "It's not invincible, if you are prepared, there must be a way to defeat the enemy." It's just that we didn't cope, and suddenly we encountered such an army, and it was really impossible to fight. And retreat first, so that the whole army will not be wiped out here! ”

At this time, the Song army on the other side had approached the Khitan army formation, and the Khitan defense line began to show signs of collapse, and the banner could be seen from a distance. Yelu Chongyuan saw it in his eyes, and only then did he believe that what Xiao Ge said was true, and said: "That is the case, I have to retreat for the time being." - Where to retreat? ”

Xiao Ge said: "A big defeat, the saint will be furious, the king might as well take the troops and horses back to Datong Mansion first." Now that the Yellow River is frozen, soldiers and horses can step on the ice. The king wanted to go back to Xijing and take Tanglong Town by the way, and others had nothing to say. ”

On the mountain, Shi Quanbin was extremely excited, and he watched the battle in the valley without blinking. I really didn't expect that the infantry of the Yingtianxiang Army was so sharp, and the battle went very smoothly. Saving Tanglong Town and defeating Yelu Chongyuan, this military merit is much stronger than going south to Pingnong Zhigao. This battle may be one of the biggest victories against the Khitan since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was clean. What reward he will get when he returns to Beijing this time, Shi Quanbin can't think of it.

Seeing Yelu Chongyuan's marshal flag thrown north, the Khitan army began to retreat, Shi Quanbin hurriedly said to Du Zhongxiao: "To be controlled, the Khitan army has retreated!" ”

Du Zhongxiao looked at it, and the herald beside him said: "Order the cavalry on both wings, and the Khitans will follow after retreating, so there is no need to chase after them." ”

The herald promised and was about to give the order, Du Zhongxiao called back and said: "This defeat, Yelu Chongyuan may not return to Dongshengzhou." If you retreat north, chase to the valley exit to the north. If it retreats eastward, it will be driven across the Yellow River. ”

The herald answered and flew away.

Shi Quanbin said: "Since you have won, why not chase after you?" The more you want to gain, the more rewards you will receive from the court! ”

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "Tanglong Town is special here, even if there is such a war between the two countries, it may not tear the skin." To be safe, we just need to save the military city and wait for the will of the imperial court. The most important thing is to find out why this battle started and why Yu Jingyang wanted to sacrifice the city. The external enemy is easy to block, but the internal thief is difficult to prevent. If Yu Jingyang's affairs are not investigated, it will be difficult to prevent accidents! ”

Shi Quanbin nodded, and his emotions slowly calmed down. Indeed, now it seems that if the army uses muskets, it is not difficult to defeat the Khitans, but it is not a good thing that there will always be generals who defect to the enemy. The Song army Khitan here in Tanglong Town is very familiar, whether it is artillery or muskets, the Khitan people get the news from here. The firearms of the Song army they think are all based on Tanglong Town, and Yelu Chongyuan will think that they are not very powerful.

Yu Jingyang is greedy for money, as long as he gives money, there is nothing he dare not sell. The cannon in the city was too eye-catching, and he couldn't hide it if he sold it, so he didn't dare to sell it to the Khitan, so he only let the Khitan people carefully observe and measure, and go back to imitate it. The musket is not so conspicuous, the ones left by Du Zhongxiao back then, he sold some of them to the Khitan, Yelu Chongyuan has seen and used them. However, the technology is not enough, and the Khitan imitation cost is too high to be used.

The overall situation has been decided, Shi Quanbin said to Du Zhongxiao: "To be controlled, the Khitans have retreated, let's go into the city." ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Go back to the handsome tent first, and after the generals report, then go into the city together." ”

Thirteen Lang looked at the retreating Khitan soldiers, and said to Jingdu and the others: "Let's go to the city." Yu Jingyang defected to the enemy, and there was a lot of chaos in the city. ”

Jing Dutou said: "Since the enemy soldiers have retreated, why don't you find out how many people have been killed and injured today, so that you can remember the reward." ”

Thirteen Lang said: "No need, our military exploits are not counted like this. After the war, there was a special person to count the results of the war and evaluate the merits of the war, and then we will talk about it. The most important thing now is to enter the city to stabilize the situation! ”

Jing Dutou looked at the enemy corpse over there, licked his lips, and felt a little pity. According to the rules, each head has a reward, and the court pays money according to the number. Although the Khitans have not been attacking for a long time today, they are very brave, and each of them has killed a lot of enemies.

After opening the city gate, Zhou Su crossed his hand to Thirteen Lang: "General, the city has been calmed down." There are many people who take advantage of the chaos to rob property, and there are some Khitan meticulous works, all of which have been taken. How to dispose of it, please also instruct! ”

Thirteen Lang said: "Take it and look at it, and talk about it when the system comes." Where will we try cases when we fight! ”

After speaking, he said to Zhou Su: "Where is Liu Huai's body?" Take me to see it. Also, those who attacked Liu Huai and others at that time were in turmoil, bring them over! ”

Zhou Su promised, took Shisanlang and others, and went to the yamen.

Thirteen Lang saw Liu Huai's body parked in the yamen courtyard, and several personal soldiers were guarding the surroundings, and hurriedly stepped forward. Seeing that Liu Huai's face has not changed, he can't help but feel sad when he thinks of the past. After training in Suizhou for several years, this is one of his most optimistic generals, but he didn't expect to die on the battlefield, but was killed by internal thieves. Liu Huai was alone, taking the military camp as his home, and only had a kiss before leaving, but there was no ending.

ordered Liu Huai to be scrubbed and put on new clothes, and Thirteen Lang ordered someone to set up a chair and let Liu Huai sit up.

Looking at the more than 20 Yu Jingyang's personal soldiers standing in front of him, Thirteen Lang said sharply: "You are treason and rebellion, kill General Liu, the crime is unforgivable!" General Liu's heroic spirit is not far away, so he will take your life here and see him off! ”

After saying that, he picked up a horse chopping knife with his own hands, kicked the first soldier to the ground, and cut off his head with a knife.

Seeing this, Jing Dutou pulled out his waist knife and said in a loud voice: "I'll also send General Liu and his party!" ”

Several generals each held waist knives and stepped forward to kill the remaining Yu Jingyang's personal soldiers, one by one, in front of Liu Huai's corpse. In a short time, blood was pouring all over the ground, and several rebel heads were rolling on the ground. When the rest of the defenders of the city saw this, they were all terrified. They have been in the army for many years, and they were also extremely vicious when they were under Yu Jingyang, but this is the first time they have seen such a murderous situation.
