Fu Song

Chapter 615 Straight to Nanyang

Looking at the phalanx of Song Army infantry slowly approaching in the distance, Chen Jing felt that her throat was a little dry and her mouth was bitter.

Song Jun's attack came so suddenly that until now, Nanyang has not responded.

Everyone's attention was focused on the direction of Shangqiu and Songcheng. After everyone guessed that Jiangning wanted to win these two places, the soldiers rushed to Kaifeng.

But no one thought that the much-anticipated Shangqiu and Songcheng were just a cover, and Nanyang was their real goal.

The connection between Yingzhou, Caizhou, and Chenzhou was lost. Tens of thousands of Song troops descended like tigers and approached Tangzhou. Their forwards had already crossed Fangcheng Mountain and threatened Nanyang directly.

And this army was unexpectedly from Xiao Cheng's direct line army from Jiangning, the Jiangning garrison led by Han Kai.

It can be seen that this is a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time.

Chen Jing knew very well that now he might not be able to count on the reinforcements from Biyang and Deng County.

Whether it's Zheng Qin or Yu Hu, I'm afraid they will send reinforcements back to rescue Nanyang immediately.

Xinye is just a fulcrum where Nanfang protrudes ahead, and its importance is far from being comparable to Nanyang.

hold on!

Must hold on!
The last time the Song army attacked Xinye, didn't they just defend it?
In the past few months since he took office, the only thing he has done is to keep recruiting civilians to heighten and strengthen the city wall, and the moat is even connected to the Baihe River.

Xinye City was surrounded by water on three sides, and the only area where the Song army could attack was the narrow area on the south that was less than a hundred paces away. If they really dared to come from there, they would not hesitate to let the corpses in the hundred paces area pile up like a mountain.

During the coup in Tokyo, Chen Jing and Dai Wei opened the gates of the city and welcomed Qu Zhen into the city. With Qu Zhen ascending to power, the two naturally got the rewards they deserved.Dai Wei is still leading troops in Tokyo City and has become one of Quzhen's guards, while Chen Jing was sent to Xinye and became the commander of thousands of troops in Xinye.

Xinye is located in the front line, the front line of the battle with the Song army, and the sergeants are all veterans who have been baptized in the war. It must be said that Qu Zhen still values ​​​​Chen Jing's ability.

And Chen Jing is also very clear that only by guarding Xinye can he save his own life, the lives of his family members, and have prosperity and wealth.

Their families all live in Kaifeng City.

In name, it is naturally to let them enjoy better, but in fact, it is Qu Zhen's coercion in disguise.

If you dare to do anything wrong, your family members will be the first to be unlucky.

"Boat!" A soldier beside him suddenly called out in a trembling voice.

Chen Jing suddenly turned her head, and on the Baihe River, several horse boats were coming towards Xinye with full sail.

Without hesitation, they plunged into the moat barely big enough for a horse boat to enter.

At the same time, outside Xinye City, the Song Army's war drums were beating suddenly. Instead of attacking from the narrow attack surface as Chen Jing imagined, the Song Army attacked from three sides at the same time.

They directly used horse boats to block the entire moat, and the soldiers crossed the moat like walking on the ground.

"Rocket, tung oil, burn these ships, burn these ships!" Chen Jing roared.

A bundle of thatched grass was ignited and pushed down, bouncing towards the horse boat, rain of rockets shot down from the top of the city, and the sails on the horse boat burned instantly When they got up, some soldiers of Song Dynasty cut off the cables with their knives, and hurriedly pushed the sails off the boat, and some soldiers held up poles to push out the rolling fireballs.

Taking advantage of the time when the soldiers on the city were dealing with the horse boats, the Song army swarmed in.

Accompanied by the shooting sound of the god arm crossbow collapsing, the soldiers who popped up from the top of the city fell down like cutting wheat.

Immediately, the city began to fight back.

The defenders at the top of the city, suppressed by the dense arrow rain under the city, couldn't care less about the horse boats for a while, so more soldiers directly pushed forward to the city through the horse boats.

Accompanied by the loud bang bang sound, the sharpened and thick tree poles slammed into the city gate violently. Every time they hit, the whole city wall seemed to tremble.

The iron structure on the ladder was hooked to the wall, and the soldiers were holding shields in one hand and knives in the other, climbing up deftly like apes. The wooden ladder is attached to the ladder, and the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves, knocking the Song army on it down the city.Boiling golden juice poured down, causing the attackers to howl like ghosts and wolves.

Arrows rained down the city one after another, and the soldiers on the city were also swept down row by row.

At this time, the soldiers had long since lost any thought, they were just repeating their actions mechanically, and the only voice still ringing in their minds was the commander's order.

Either you die or I die.

At such a moment, there is actually no difference between man and beast.

Wang Zhu squinted his eyes, looking at the artillery that was finally set up behind the horse boat.

This is an oak cannon dismantled from Jiang Xiong's warship.

In Jiang Xiong's words, it can probably fire three or five rounds before it falls apart.

Dozens of oak wood cannons can fire three or five rounds each, which is nearly two hundred rounds, which is enough. As for this cannon, it seems to be a temporary product, and it is no pity if it is damaged. In the Wei Wu army, bronze cannons have already appeared.

When Nanyang is captured, I must ask the chief assistant for dozens of doors.

No, he has the Xingyuan in the east, but he doesn't have the Xingyuan in the middle.

The attack was repulsed, and the first round of the attack suffered heavy casualties. Amidst the shrill clanging of gold, the fearless Sirius army had no choice but to retreat slowly.

There were bursts of cheers erupting in the city, and at this moment, behind the horse boat, beside dozens of wooden cannons, an officer shouted loudly: "Fire!"

There was a violent explosion, and clouds of white smoke filled the city, covering all the Song troops under the city.

On the city, balls of flames suddenly burst, and screams came and went one after another.

When they were happiest, they encountered the most violent attack.

The sound of the Song army retreating under the city turned into the sound of the fierce drums of the attack, and the Song army, which was still retreating just now, rushed over like the receding sea water in an instant.

The Xinye garrison had only heard that the Song Army had a powerful weapon that sounded like a thunderbolt, but they had never seen the Song Army use it.

This weapon was only used once when Jiang Xiong's navy and Liu Zheng's Hanjiang navy fought against each other in the rescue of Xiangyang, and then it was put away in the Shang Pavilion. Today is his second appearance.

Liu Jing is dead!

Do not look down.

He was sitting obliquely on the shirt of the parapet, and a piece of iron after the explosion happened to cut his throat.

Xinye City was broken.

More than [-] Zhao soldiers killed hundreds of people, injured more than a thousand people, and the rest became prisoners.

Immediately, these captives were used.

Jiang Xiong's navy sailed into the Baihe River, loaded the Sirius army on board, and then these captives became fiber trackers, and the warship went all the way along the Baihe River, heading towards Nanyang.

As for Biyang and Deng County, Wang Zhu simply ignored them.

That was a matter between Fan Yifei and Yue Teng.

Don't let these two armies go to Nanyang for rescue, hold them firmly, and wait until the army led by Luo Xin and Han Kai join forces at the foot of Nanyang City and defeat Nanyang, these two armies will naturally collapse without a fight.

Yu Hu was stationed in Biyang, with an army of [-] under his command.

But now, he was in a dilemma, and he really regretted it to death.

Why did they go out of Biyang? As a result, they can't advance or retreat now, and if they are a little careless, the whole army will be wiped out.

Hearing that the soldiers and horses of the Song army had descended from the sky, the soldiers and horses had arrived in the phalanx, and when the whole Nanyang was in a panic, Yu Hu immediately reorganized the soldiers and horses and headed towards Nanyang to rescue Jie Bao in Nanyang.

Like Deng Qin, he was Cui Ang's confidant in the past, but the last time when Qu Zhen was guarding Xinye alone, the two of them judged the situation and helped Qu Zhen in time, and thus got on Qu Zhen's chariot to fight for the future. Cui Ang pulled down from King Zhao's seat, which was considered a great effort.

Afterwards, the two of them were also promoted to nobles, and they were still stationed in Biyang and Deng County, but after all, they still felt a little guilty in their hearts, fearing that they would be caught by Qu Zhen, so they took them down.

Once people like them lose their military power, they will be decapitated.

Therefore, if they can seize the opportunity, they will express themselves well.

But this time it messed up.

As soon as he left Biyang, Song Jun followed him.

Abandoning Biyang, thousands of cavalrymen bit his [-]-strong army.

He thought that even if the Song army would come, they would attack the empty Biyang first. In Biyang, he only left three thousand old and weak soldiers, but Biyang city is high and steep, even if the opponent takes it, it will take a long time Day, in this way, I have already gone far.

Unexpectedly, Song Jun ignored Bi Yang at all and took a fancy to him as a big fish.

Yu Hu looked at the opponent's cavalry who were looming in the distance, and his heart was filled with false fire. He fought and didn't fight, walked and didn't go, and just followed. This is the most painful thing.If this continues, sooner or later he will find his own loopholes and defeat him in one fell swoop.

"Brother, we can't go on like this. We have [-] people, and people eat horse chews. If this continues, the food will not be enough. In this situation, we can't expect food to be shipped from the rear!" He called his brother Yu Hong , who is also the commander of his own cavalry, Yu Hu clenched his fists.

"They only have [-] cavalry, and we also have [-] cavalry. It is not yet known who will die. If the elder brother can lead them to our preset position, then the cooperation of infantry and cavalry can completely defeat them!" Yu Hu said. .

Two thousand cavalrymen of the Zhao army broke away from the main brigade and headed towards the Skyhawk army led by Yue Teng.

Find the main force of the opponent, and then take the initiative to attack, thus covering the smooth arrival of five thousand infantry in Nanyang.

"Wu Jing, do you want to fight?" Yue Teng, the commander of the Skyhawk Army, listened to the scout's report and looked at Wu Jing, his favorite general, with a smile.

The main body of the Skyhawk Army is basically composed of the Mang tribe in Syria, and Wu Jing was originally from the Mang tribe, which was once the majority of the Man tribe in Syria.When Xiao Cheng conquered Xuzhou, Wu Jing was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but now he is about to reach his thirties. After many years of fighting, he has already accumulated meritorious service and has been promoted to the rank of general of the cavalry, commanding a battalion of cavalry.

"Of course I want to fight!" Wu Jing said with a smile: "I went to test them out, it's not so bad, they are not so much cavalry, it is better to say that they are infantry on horseback, they can't even draw a bow on horseback, they want to shoot arrows , you need to stop. The only thing to see is the tactic of galloping horses and guns to line up and stab."

"I'll give you five hundred people, go tease them!" Yue Teng said.

"Ah?" Wu Jing was a little dumbfounded. No matter how tricky the other party was, it was still a cavalry force of [-] men. If he went with [-] men, he might not be able to please him.

Yue Teng laughed and said, "I like the land in Henan. Unlike our side, the mountains and rivers do not allow us cavalry to have much room to fight. It is good here, enough for us to gallop. Wu Jing, with you How to make the opponent mistakenly think that you are our main force, then this time, you will be credited with a great contribution."

"You are going to sneak attack their main force!" Wu Jing cheered up.

"That Yu Hu still has a few brushes. The marching formation is very handsome, and it is rare to find an opportunity!" Yue Teng said: "You drag his cavalry around first, and I will go to tease his How about [-] pawns, I'm afraid the food they brought out won't last for a few days, let them slow down a bit, and when the food is gone, what do I think they will do?"

"As for their cavalry, hehe!" Yue Teng licked his lips and said, "When they know they've been fooled, they will rush back anxiously. Let's give him a surprise on the way. The cooperation of the time difference , are you okay?"

Wu Jing laughed loudly: "Take orders, control!"

Compared with Zhao Jun's Hebei horses, most of the Syrian horses used were Syrian horses or Dian horses.

Hebei horses are good at short-distance sprints, but they are much weaker in terms of endurance, and they are much more delicate than Syrian horses and Dian horses. Unlike Dian horses, you don’t complain when you ride them to fight. You ride them Pulling the cart, it also runs fast.

After three days, Yu Hong's cavalry was dragged to exhaustion, and the news from the main force made him even more frightened and angry.

It was only a small group of enemy cavalry that led me to run around, and their main force turned back again. Taking advantage of Yu Hu's unpreparedness, they tore off the logistics of the army with one bite. Not too much grain burned a clean.

Yu Hong returned to the army angrily, and was ambushed by Yue Teng on the way.

Two thousand cavalry lost more than half of them. After reluctance to join forces with Yu Hu, both of them knew that they might not be able to go to Nanyang.

If you insist on going forward, you will be torn to pieces bit by bit by the enemy cavalry.

"General, general!" A scout rushed over like flying.

"What's the matter?" Yu Hu no longer worried about hearing any more bad news.

"On the Baishui River, on the Baishui River!" The scout stammered and couldn't speak a complete sentence.

Knowing that there was a difference, the two of them rode their horses straight up a hill, and the Baihe River in the distance was inlaid in the vast field like a jade belt, and the hundreds of boats of all sizes with full sails all the way forward made the two of them ashamed.

"Xinye is lost!" Yu Hongdao: "Wang Zhu's main force goes up the river and flanks the enemy in the direction of Fangcheng. Nanyang, I'm afraid it's over! Second brother, what shall we do now?"
