Fu Song

Chapter 531

For Zhao Song, Chenqiaoyi is a place with absolutely different meanings.

The founding emperor of Zhao and Song Dynasties put on his imperial robes from here, and then went all the way back to Tokyo, kicked the Chai family boy of Dazhou off the throne, and sat on it himself.

Of course, generally speaking, the royal family of Zhao and Song was quite good to the descendants of the Chai family. Compared with those miserable fellows after being seized, the Chai family was definitely considered happy.

But now, this place is about to become a battlefield.

The Tianwu Army is stationed at Chenqiaoyi.

Tens of thousands of soldiers lined up in square formations, standing awe-inspiring, and the banner of Tianwu Army commander An Wei fluttered high above the temporary tower.

The eldest son An Ming died in battle, making An Wei look much older.

He had placed too much hope in that son.

And An Ming is indeed the one who is most likely to support the An family's lintel.

But he died.

As for the rest of the An family, where can they expect it?

But it seems that maybe there is no need to think so much.

Two hundred thousand Liao troops surrounded the city of Tokyo.

These [-] soldiers are real soldiers of the Liao army. If you count the young and strong, the peasants, and the troops on Hebei Road and Jingdong Road who surrendered them, the number will be doubled.

I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this level.

In the city of Tokyo, there are hundreds of thousands of the Fourth Army, and hundreds of thousands of armed young and strong,

But An Wei knew that the crisis of breaking the country was imminent.

The most terrible thing is the food problem.

The Liao army cut off the trough transportation and also cut off the road passages. Not a single grain of food outside could enter Tokyo City.

Tokyo City, with millions of people, is a huge gold absorber in peacetime, and it is also a place that can create unlimited wealth and miracles, but in wartime, without external input, it immediately becomes an incomparably huge The burden of the burden is on everyone's body, making them breathless.

Before the Liao army arrived, food prices had been rising day by day.
Half a month after the Liao army besieged the city, the price of food had increased tenfold.

Ordinary people can no longer afford to buy food, which is already a real matter before the government.

The new official family and the old Shoufu went on a killing spree. Dozens of grain merchants were dragged to Caishikou and had their heads chopped off. All their property was confiscated, and the price of grain did not drop.

Because the facts are right there, no food comes in, and the food in the city is one grain, and one grain is missing.

The privy envoy Chen Gui Chen Xianggong suggested confiscating the food of all the wealthy gentry, officials, and ordinary people in the city for a unified distribution, first of all to ensure the food of the combat army and the young and strong who assist in the battle, but this proposal was not passed during the court meeting.

Ordinary people have no food at all.
Chen Xianggong's suggestion is only aimed at officials, wealthy gentry and other propertied classes.

Naturally, it is difficult to get the approval of others.

An Wei was also present at that debate.

He looked at those people with a sneer,
Let's fight, let's fight.

At this time, you still have to be a miser. Once the army fails and the Liao people enter the city, let alone food, you are not sure whether you will survive or not!
He thought of his son,

Couldn't help but shed tears.

That's right, those people, don't look at each of them is still upright in front of the officials, and each of them seems to be ready to die at any time, but when the Liao people really break the city, who can compare their knees? will soften quickly.

They just need a new master.
Naturally, there is no need to give up the wealth of the family.

The long sound of the horn on the opposite side drew An Wei's attention back.

Others would surrender, but An Wei would never.

Even if he loses today, even if he dies today, he will never surrender.

He took a step forward, snatched the drumstick from a drummer, and beat it vigorously.

The sonorous and powerful drum sound came from his hands, followed by dozens of big drums around the podium followed by him.

The tens of thousands of soldiers surrounding the podium turned their gazes here at the same time.

"Behind you is your home. In your home, there are your parents, wives, and dolls!" An Wei hissed.

Every time An Wei yelled, dozens of drummers yelled along, so that tens of thousands of soldiers could clearly hear.

"Before we die, never let them hurt our home, hurt our loved ones!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

The shouts of tens of thousands of people resounded through Chenqiaoyi, which also made the enemies on the opposite side change their expressions in horror.

At this moment, it was not the Liao people standing opposite them.

It was the rebels from Jingdong Road.

The Jingdong Road rebels led by Liu Yu, the king of Qi named by the Liao Kingdom.

The Shan army led by Yelumin was behind the Jingdong Road rebels, and was watching all this coldly at this moment.

The Taotao fighting spirit of the Longwu Army, which made the rebels on Jingdong Road terrified, in the eyes of Shan Shan Army, was nothing more than the whine of their prey before they died.

No matter how the trapped beast is still fighting, it is nothing but a trapped beast.

Yelumin squinted his eyes and looked towards the opposite side. In the distance, the shadow seemed to be the shadow of Tokyo City.

Was it six years ago, or five years ago?

escaped from there like a dog,

Now I am back.

He is about to step into this city where countless brothers have been buried as a victor.

"Your Highness King Qi, your subordinates lack the will to fight!" Yelumin sneered and said to Liu Yu beside him. "Our place is the main attack point handpicked by His Majesty and Empress. If we can't defeat the enemy in front of us today and approach Tokyo City, His Majesty and Empress will definitely be unhappy."

While speaking, there was another rumbling drum sound from the opposite side. When Yelumin raised his eyes, the other side unexpectedly moved forward.

Under the command of horns and drums, the phalanxes moved forward slowly but unswervingly.

The Longwu Army took the initiative to attack.

Yelu Min laughed heartily.

Liu Yu cupped his hands and said: "General, I will go to the front to supervise the battle, and I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty and Your Majesty!"

Yelumin nodded: "His Royal Highness King Qi is wise, you should be clear. Right now, there is King Zhao, and King Jin in front of His Majesty. Maybe there will be another king in the future. With so many kings, there must be one Are you the leader? You are the vanguard now, but I think that when I attacked Hedong earlier, you helped me a lot and worked hard to earn it. The empress is also a guarantor. If the empress is disappointed ,Hahaha!"

"Of course not!" Liu Yu drew out his sword in a choking voice, and said sharply, "Please look after him, General!"

Seeing Liu Yu running away, the smile on Yelumin's face grew stronger.

The Longwu Army belonged to the Dianqian Siqin Army, and their commander was Qu Zhen who followed Cui Ang and defected to Liao Kingdom. Now that Cui Ang became King Zhao, he was also directly named Marshal. Zhen, the difference between a marshal like Yelumin is tens of thousands of miles.

An Wei is now promoted to the commander of the Zhanqian Siqin Army, but the Japanese army was beaten and disabled with Zhao Zheng in Hebei a few years ago. , until now, have not recovered.This makes the Japanese army can only become a spectator now.

Of course, fighting the Liao army, the cavalry has never been a key focus of the Song Dynasty.

Pawns are the foundation of a country.

Therefore, the equipment of the Longwu Army is definitely the best in the world.

More than [-] people, all in heavy armor, the infantry armor of the Song Dynasty, weighing tens of kilograms, with full body protection, almost no dead ends.Spears, large shields, waist knives, hammers, and god arm crossbows.

When they slowly advance in a tight phalanx, even the most elite cavalry of the Liao Kingdom will usually take a detour.

There is no need to fight to the death with them.

After all, it is impossible for a soldier wearing such heavy armor to maintain a high fighting will for a long time. Even if the fighting will is always there, the fighting power will continue to decline regardless of the will.

Formation does not fight!

This is the practice of the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom against the infantry of the Song Dynasty.

But today is different.

Because the ones standing opposite them were no longer Liao cavalry.

And it was also the Forbidden Army team that once belonged to the Song Dynasty.

Jingdong Road Forbidden Army.

Their equipment is indeed inferior to that of the Longwu Army.

Only the most elite part of the Jingdong Road Forbidden Army has this kind of infantry armor, and most of the rest are just bust armor.

But their tactics are exactly the same.

Because of Yelumin's beating, Liu Yu also sold out his strength and sent out all the most elite confidantes in one go. Although everyone is king, he still has to work hard to win favor in front of his master.

Cui Ang's family used to be the Duke of Dutang, and he was only the magistrate of Jinan Prefecture. The difference in this status was not a star and a half, so if he wanted to surpass Cui Ang after the Song Dynasty was destroyed, he had to pay a little more now.

Of course, the efforts made now will definitely be rewarded in the future.

So this battle is a real war of steel.

Countless crossbow arrows flew in the sky, piercing towards the enemy with a shrill howl, and many of them even smashed together in the air.

In the rear, the stones thrown by the trebuchet covered the sky and the sun, and every time they landed, they would smash a hole in the dense army formation.

The shields of both sides crowded together,
The spear kept stabbing through the gaps in the shield,
Some swordsmen and axemen came out from under the shield, and then went into the enemy's lineup, hacking and killing, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Under such circumstances, no matter how reasonable a person is, he will become a lunatic, a beast, a pervert who only knows how to kill.

The two sides are entangled.

You have me I have you.

After a stalemate, one party will eventually be unable to support it.

But this time it was the Longwu Army who rose up.

One of the upper fourth armies that has been looked down upon by the frontier soldiers, the Longwu army is really brave this time. They shouted and slowly pushed forward, pushing the Jingdong Road rebels back.

The corner of Yelumin's mouth twitched, a half-smile.

"General!" Sun Pu leaned over beside him, "If you don't go out, the Jingdong Army may collapse."

Of course Yelumin knew that under such circumstances, once it collapsed, there was absolutely no hope of getting it back.The retreating army will even roll back and attack its own main formation.

However, this was the moment he had been waiting for.

As one of the best people in the former Zhao Song army system, Yelumin is very clear about the strengths and weaknesses of the Zhao Song army.

When Zhao and Song's imperial troops lined up and maintained their formation and echoed each other, they were invincible.

The sturdy infantry armor can block most of the attacks for them, and the powerful crossbow will offset most of the enemy's attacks. The cooperation and echo between them is nothing compared to the Liao army.

The current Longwu Army is fighting with its back, and has exploded with an incomparably powerful will to fight.
If you don't fight, you die,
This is the last backbone of an army.

Therefore, he forced Liu Yu to take the Jingdong Army up to fight with the opponent.

It doesn't matter if you lose, the important thing is to be able to break the formation of Zhao Song's infantry and the echo between each other.

As long as they are out of touch with each other,

Then it is their end.

He looked up at the tower in the distance that belonged to the enemy's highest command, and laughed.

An Wei is a senior general of Zhao Song, but how many life-and-death battles has he led the army to fight?
No!

Therefore, he couldn't see the subtle changes here.

Even if you see it now, it's too late.

The more than a dozen phalanxes of the Longwu Army that went into battle were completely out of touch with each other.

Even now that An Wei is doing everything he can to save this situation, it's impossible.

The red-eyed soldiers have lost control a little bit.

This is the gap between a well-trained elite army and an ordinary army.

A good army will never lose its organization and discipline, regardless of whether it is in a rout or a big victory.

The horn sounded, and the Shan army, who had been watching for an opportunity, was dispatched.

In an instant, the thunderous sound of iron hooves crushed the battlefield, and a branch of Shan army cavalry rushed into the battlefield from different directions.

An Wei's expression changed in horror.

At this moment, he finally realized that something was wrong.

Although his dozen or so phalanxes were rolling back the beaded curtain, killing Liu Yu's troops back steadily, as long as they add more force, they will be able to win a complete victory.

But he didn't forget the Shan army behind the rebels in Jingdong, so he left a small half of the reserve team.

As long as the subordinate Shan army is dispatched, he will send these troops to take back the vanguard.

To deal with cavalry, of course you have to fight in formation.

But at this time, after waking up, he found that his reserve team could not enter the battlefield at all.

They were blocked by their own people.

They were also blocked by the Jingdong Army.

And the Shan army was dispatched at this fatal moment.

Like poisonous snakes, they precisely inserted their knives into the vital points of the Longwu army.

Cut, bite.

The Jingdong rebels who received the support were refreshed, regrouped on the spot, and launched a counterattack.

At this moment, An Wei made a fatal decision.

He wants to rescue his troops.

If at this time, his strong man breaks the bowl, abandons the troops caught in the division and encirclement, and leads the rest to retreat, he can still save the more than [-] troops in his hands.

But he chose to go upstream, and he was going to rescue his men.

This decision ruined the entire Tianwu Army.

Or even Yelumin didn't expect that the enemy would make such a decision.

This is not the response of a senior general.

"There is no one left in Zhao Song!" Yelumin sighed in his heart.

Back then when Cui Ang raised the butcher's knife, a large number of famous Hebei Army generals died in his hands.

Over the years, more generals of the Song frontier army died in his hands than in the hands of the Liao people.

No wonder Yelujun was so happy to make him King Zhao.

This guy has indeed made great contributions to the Liao Kingdom.

But ha!

Yelumin laughed silently,

I will slowly play you to death.

The empress made a promise to me.

And the emperor who can protect Cui Ang will die soon!
Tapping the horse and raising the spear, Yelumin rushed towards An Wei.

In any case, a general who dares to charge forward is still worthy of admiration, so let yourself give him a ride!

This is the highest compliment to the enemy.

two people meet,

An Wei, die!
