Fu Song

Chapter 616 Counterattack
A strong general can often change the situation of the battle at a critical moment.

Especially when the two sides are deadlocked.

Han Kai is such a fierce general.

Nanyang is so important to the puppet Zhao, so naturally a lot of effort has been put into the city defense.Nanyang defender Xie Bao is not only Qu Zhen's confidant, but also a veteran general for many years, he is impeccable in defense.

When the Song army was advancing suddenly with Han Kai as the vanguard, Xie Bao wisely withdrew the troops stationed outside to Nanyang City. He knew very well that keeping these troops outside the city could only be convenient for Song Dynasty. The armies were defeated one by one.And retracting it can also make the defensive force in the city more abundant.

It was also this decision that made Nanyang, which was attacked by two Song armies for more than ten days, look precarious, but never fell.

But at this time, Han Kai stood up.

The attack on Nanyang cannot be delayed. If it is delayed for a long time, it is easy to change.

Up to now, Quzhen has also understood that the soldiers and horses fighting Shangqiu and Songcheng are just a cover. They now have two choices. One is to ignore Nanyang and concentrate on taking down the city and trying to defeat Wei in Xiayi. Wu, at least I can save something.

The second choice is to turn to rescue Nanyang, but the morale is low due to running back and forth, and more importantly, it is a problem whether there is too little time.

As for Wang Zhu and Luo Xin, after taking Nanyang quickly, Han Kai's troops should immediately withdraw and take action to support Xiayi, forcing the opponent not to act rashly, so as to stabilize the results obtained in the early stage is the best choose.

Han Yan was wearing heavy armor, holding a half-man-high heavy shield in one hand, and his twelve-pound hammer in the other. He was sitting on the nest cart, with hundreds of soldiers shouting to push the nest cart Slowly approach the city wall.

On the city, arrows rained down like rain, and on the nest cart, the crossbowmen desperately fought back. From time to time, some people on both sides fell off the city wall or fell off the nest cart.

Every time the nest cart approached the city wall, there was a brutal massacre. Several times before, the Song army on the nest cart was completely wiped out, and the cart was also burned to the ground.

At this moment, the nest cart was on fire again.

The defenders in Nanyang City wrapped the cloth balls on the wooden ties, stained them with oil, and then threw them at the nest carts. Naturally, one or two would be useless, but ten or hundreds of them would be overwhelming.

The nest cart was ablaze, but it was still approaching the city wall unswervingly.

With five steps left, Han Kai stood up.

As soon as he stood up, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

His body is so attractive.

As for Han Kai, he is also a celebrity.

Seeing him appear, the city immediately understood that the opponent's main attack was in this direction.

The flags were fluttered, the drums were beating thunderously, groups of soldiers yelled loudly, and ran quickly in this direction to prepare for support.

One step away, Han Kai yelled violently, and jumped forward, protecting himself with a big shield, and smashed towards the top of the city like a pile of meteorites.

The moment he landed, the nest cart behind him also leaned against the city wall with a bang, and from the flames, one after another Song Jun, who was burnt to the ground, came out screaming.

The big shield held an unknown number of spears, Han Kai turned sideways and stretched his arms amidst a roar, the spears were pushed to one side by him, at that moment, he had already rushed out, the hammer in his hand rose and fell suddenly Every time the hammer fell, there was no blood splashing, and those who were hit by the hammer fell to the ground one by one.

Regardless of whether you are wearing armor or holding a shield in your hand, Han Kai will go down with a hammer.

Needless to say, those who were not able to parry with their bodies, even if they had a shield in their hands, the shield would be broken with the hammer, and the person would be wilted. As for the shield with a knife, use a gun stand?The back of the knife was smashed into the body, and the barrel of the gun was broken into two neatly.

Hammer one at a time.

Han Kai firmly guarded the ground a few steps away from him, even if he was hit several times, he did not retreat half a step.

The people around him gradually increased.

First two or three, then five or six,

Then, Han Kai started to move forward.

Several spears stabbed at him, Han Kai turned sideways, stretched out his arms, and caught all of the spears under his left arm. With a loud shout, he leaned back slightly, and did not throw his guns to compete with him. Those Zhao Jun screamed in surprise, and he swung them up vigorously, and then threw them behind him.

Behind Han Kai was a high city wall.

The long cry of misery made everyone's expressions change.

Feathered arrows whizzed towards Han Kai, who had no time to dodge, so he could only turn sideways, and with a bang, the arrow directly pierced the heavy armor on his body. In an instant, the heart-piercing pain made Han Kai even more angry, and he hammered Going down, he broke a spear, picked up the half of the spear casually, and threw the half of the spear out amidst the roar.

The Zhao Jun general who stood on a high place and shot cold arrows just now was bending his bow and setting up an arrow, and was about to shoot Han Kai again, when he heard a whistling sound in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw a black shadow roaring towards him. The next moment, he Then fly.

After flying several steps backwards, he fell heavily to the ground, the half-truncated spear went in from the chest, and came out from the back.

Zhao Jun did not control this point, but let more and more Song troops attack this point, and finally evolved into a situation where one point was broken and the whole line was broken.

With the sound of the drumbeat of the general attack below, more Song soldiers climbed up the city wall.

The city gate was smashed open,
Wengcheng was captured,

The inner door was opened,
Then, the cavalry of the Song Army rushed in roaring.

Nanyang City fell.

When Wang Zhu walked up the city wall, he happened to see the doctor accompanying the army wrapping up Han Kai's wound. Han Kai, who had removed his heavy armor, was covered with blood and prickles, which looked very scary.

"How is it?" Wang Zhu looked at the doctor.

"Back to the manager, it's just some minor injuries, nothing serious, wrap it up a bit, and rest for two days and you'll be fine!" Watching the doctor skillfully cleanse Han Yan's wounds with spirits, this guy didn't even frown. Fortunately, he was tearing up the jerky mutton, and Wang Zhu admired it.

He himself tasted the taste of the strong wine on the wound, which hurts more than being stabbed.

"Is it all right?"

"General Han's armor is good, and it can withstand most of the attacks. Even if the armor is broken, it will not cause much damage to the body!" The doctor said with a smile.

The doctor is in a good mood. In the past, the doctor accompanying the army was scolded, because not many wounded soldiers could be cured, but now it is different.There are strong alcohol debridement, gauze soaked in medicine and then dried, and various first-aid medicines for trauma and internal injuries. Fewer and fewer soldiers died after injuries, and more and more people were rescued. Naturally, his social status is getting higher and higher in the military.

Wang Zhu lifted the armor that Han Yan had put aside, his hands sank, and he almost didn't lift it up.

Pa pulled it away and took a look, and couldn't help shaking his head again and again.

This armor was probably tailor-made for Han Kai. Another person wearing this armor, let alone fighting, might even have difficulty walking. Even if he wears it by himself, he can barely swing a knife.

It was a humanoid beast.

Looking at Han Yan, who was not much shorter than himself, Wang Zhu shook his head.

He had practiced with Han Ge. At that time, Han Ge was still very young, but Wang Zhu felt that he was unable to resist. He would defeat Baihui with one force. Basically limp.Now that so many years have passed, Han Kai has also made great progress in his skills, which is terrifying.

To deal with such a guy, there is basically no other good way except to rush forward.

"Director Wang, you're done. In the future, Nanyang will become another starting point for our Northern Expedition. With such a fertile land as the Nanyang Basin as our base, Shoufu has finally let go of one thing!" Luo Xin smiled. road. "It's not in vain that the Chief Assistant has worked so hard to plan this battle."

"Please ask Luo to report to the Chief Assistant during the matter. Wang Zhu will definitely live up to the Chief Assistant's entrustment. In the future, the Chief Assistant's Northern Expedition, the central Xingyuan must be the vanguard, and clear the way for the Chief Assistant!"

"We are leaving!" Luo Xin nodded and said: "In addition, we will select a group of capable and brave soldiers from Caizhou, Yingzhou, Chenzhou and other places to form an army and transfer them to the front line of Xuzhou. Manager Wang will take more care of the training of the sergeants in these states."

"Of course there is no problem with this!" Wang Zhu said, "How should we deal with Yu Hu and his troops who just surrendered?"

"I will take away the core generals such as Yu Hu and Yu Hong. As for his troops, Director Wang can decide for himself. Use them if they can be used, and disperse if they can't." Luo Xin said with a smile: "There are those who refuse to obey the discipline and the arrangement." The prickly head is just dispatched to the southwest to enrich the population of those places."

"I'm going to move the central Xingyuan to Nanyang, and let Fan Yifei stay in Xiangyang!" Wang Zhu said, "Do you think it's okay for Luo Ge?"

"Let's make a decision after I go back and report to the chief minister, but in my opinion, the chief minister will definitely agree." Luo Xin laughed.

Qu Zhen roared and smashed everything that could be smashed in the lobby.

A group of civil and military officials fled one after another, and Nanyang was lost. Everyone knew what Kaifeng meant.

With Nanyang, Kaifeng can still form a tug-of-war with Wang Zhu. In the Nanyang Basin, you compete for each other, and no one can do anything for a while, but now that Nanyang is lost, it means that when the Song Army wants to hit you, I will come and hit you.

"Jie Bao misunderstood me!" Qu Zhen looked up to the sky and sighed.

In the lobby, everyone was silent.

Can Xie Bao be blamed for this?

Everyone was deceived. When Zhao Jun was transferred to Shangqiu and Songcheng one by one, he had already fallen into the opponent's conspiracy.

Of course, the ferocious fighting power of the Song army still shocked everyone.

Even though there was no reinforcements in Nanyang, the mobilization of troops this time did not move a single soldier in Nanyang. Nanyang was still the place with the most troops except Kaifeng, but under the attack of the Song army, there was no support. The whole line collapsed within a month. Now Nanyang fell, Jie Bao disappeared, Yuhu surrendered, and Deng Qin retreated to Deng County.

"Your Majesty, Xiangguo Xiao is here!" Amidst the chaos, an official stuck his head out of the gate tremblingly, and then, everyone saw that Xiangguo of Zhao Kingdom, Xiao Bo from Liao came striding forward.

Everyone quickly turned around and bowed their hands to Xiao Bo who entered the door.

Even Qu Zhen also stood up and put on a smiling face: "I sent someone to invite Xiangguo in the morning, but I don't want Xiangguo but he is not in the mansion!"

Xiao Bo looked annoyed, and said: "Nanyang is lost, you have been discussing for a long time, did you come up with any results?"

Qu Zhen said: "I am preparing to mobilize troops, no matter what, I will take Nanyang back, so don't worry, Xiangguo!"

"Take it back?" Xiao Bo sneered, "Do you think that Wangzhu is a piece of paper? That is a character that even our Zhenbei King should take seriously. You can take back what he got? I'm afraid The more you invest in it, the more you lose!"

Qu Zhen's face collapsed: "Then what should Yi Xiangguo mean?"

"Isn't this simple? Since Song Ming attacked Shangqiu and captured Nanyang, and deceived us, now we will only launch a fierce attack in the direction of Shangqiu, defeat the Song army on the opposite side, and after taking back Xiayi, continue eastward. Attack Dangshan, and then cooperate with the Qi army's attack on Xuzhou, if we can make some achievements in Xuzhou this time, it is best to win Xuzhou, then the loss of Nanyang is not unacceptable."

"Let us cooperate with the Qi army?" Qu Zhen's boss was unwilling.

"What? You don't want to? This is what the King of Zhennan meant. I was not in the mansion this morning, but I went to meet the special envoy of the Prince of Zhennan's mansion!" Xiao Bo said: "If you don't win the game this time, you, I can’t even eat and walk around.”

"I don't want to." Qu Zhen said: "It's just that I need to sit in Kaifeng now. Once Nanyang is lost, the whole Great Zhao will be a little turbulent."

"I will go to Shangqiu to supervise the battle!" Xiao Bo said coldly: "You just need to prepare the army, and the food and grass will be enough."

Qu Zhen kept saying hello, not daring to have the slightest meaning.

When the Battle of Nanyang started, Wei Wu immediately commanded the Baiyu Army and the [-] troops that had just been reorganized, and quickly retreated to Xiayi. They walked so simply and quickly, when Shangqiu Zhao Jun reacted , they have already gone far.

During this period of time, Xiayi has been repairing the city wall, strengthening the defense, and preparing for the fierce counterattack from the enemy.

Now Xiayi, Dangshan, Xuzhou and Xiapi, as a whole, are about to face a test.

Qi State raised an army of [-] and launched an attack on this front.

Once Xuzhou is lost, the results of the Song army in Nanyang will be wiped out, and it will even be reversed, because the loss of this line of defense means that the entire Huaihe River Basin will be lost, and the Qi army will face the Yangtze River and directly threaten Jiangning. up.

The Forbidden Army and the Xiang Army from the south of the Yangtze River were also continuously gathering in the direction of Xuzhou, but Gao Yingxiang did not dare to pin his hope of victory on these people.

Compared with these people, Gao Yingxiang trusted those recruits more.

For example, guys like Ren Zhong.
