Fenghou

Chapter 12 Disagreement
Half an hour later, Wang Shijie led [-] troops to the city. From a distance, he saw thick smoke billowing in the city, and the flames were soaring into the sky, and a woman's cries were faintly heard.

Wang Shijie looked at each other in dismay, secretly screaming in his heart that something was wrong.

"what happened?"

When Wang Shijie saw that the opponent's army did not gather outside the city as promised, his face sank immediately, and he asked Lu Yuhou, "Did you tell them to gather outside the city?"

Lu Yuhou stammered: "The humble job told them!"

"Since I said it, what about the person?"

"Humble job to ask."

Marquis Lu Yu ran towards the city gate. The city gate was open, and there were two old army leaders sitting outside.

Lu Yuhou asked about the situation and ran back again.

"General, Zhang Zhongyan plundered the county town wantonly, wanting to make a profit before surrendering."

Wang Shijie was furious, "Fucking shit! He's got enough, what shall we eat?"

Wang Shijie wanted to plunder after taking over the county seat. Money and women were their most eager targets. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhongyan took the lead.

Immediately, he was burning with impatience, and immediately ordered: "The army enters the city!"

All the soldiers were so anxious that they ran towards the gate of the county seat.

Two thousand soldiers rushed into the urn city, and the inner gate on the opposite side of the urn city was also opened, and they could see the situation on the street. They saw thick smoke billowing on the street, piled up with large boxes, and many young women in bright dresses were crying and shouting. Running around.

The puppet Qi army's eyes were red with anxiety, and they scrambled to rush into the city. Just as they were about to reach the inner city gate, the inner city gate was closed with a bang.

The soldiers were furious, rushed up and kicked the city gate, "Open the door! Open the door quickly!"

Wang Shijie also entered the Wengcheng, the flag covered his sight, he couldn't see what was happening ahead, so he hurriedly asked, "What happened ahead?"

A soldier ran back to report, "I don't know what happened, the gate of the inner city was suddenly closed!"

Wang Shijie was startled, then suddenly realized, and shouted, "No, retreat quickly!"

Before his order could be heard, more than a dozen barrels of kerosene were suddenly thrown from above the city gate. The wooden barrel fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces. A few torches ignited on the ground, and the flames spread rapidly.

The soldiers inside the city gate were terrified, and rushed to the urn desperately, and the soldiers standing on the suspension bridge also ran away. In just a short moment, there was no soldier inside or outside the city gate.

There was no obstacle, the gate of the outer city creaked and closed, and the ambushes on the top of the Wengcheng City were all over the city, and they shot arrows into the city together, and the puppet Qi soldiers were shot down wailing.

The chief general Wang Shijie who was riding on the horse was the first to bear the brunt. He was shot like a hedgehog by dozens of arrows and fell off his horse screaming.

..........
At this time, Chen Qing led [-] cavalrymen around the south gate, and there were [-] soldiers outside, all old and weak soldiers in charge of logistics.

These puppet Qi soldiers were at a loss when they saw a cavalry team approaching like lightning, they turned around and fled in shock, but their legs couldn't run the horses, and they were caught up in a moment, and the cavalry stabbed them with spears from behind, and they were killed in a moment Dozens of people.

Chen Qing waved his gun and shouted: "Surrender will not die! Surrender will not die!"

The remaining old and weak soldiers knelt down and begged for mercy. There were more than a dozen people who refused to surrender and were chased and killed by the cavalry.

Chen Qing urged his horse to catch up with a military official who was running wildly. He recognized this person as Lu Yuhou who had come to contact him before. Chen Qing stabbed him in the back with a big iron gun.

When Lu Yuhou heard the rapid sound of horseshoes behind him, he was flustered, stepped on the ground, and fell heavily to the ground. When he turned his head, he saw the sharp spear point stabbing at him, which scared him out of his wits and shouted: " I have important information!"

The sharp tip of the gun stopped at his neck, and Chen Qing asked coldly, "What information?"

"It's important information about Jingzhao City. Jingzhao City is empty. There are less than a thousand Jurchen soldiers, and the Han army has three thousand."

"You said earlier that there were tens of thousands of Qi troops supporting Guanzhong, but why are there only three thousand?"

"Wanyan Loushi resolutely opposes the Qi army entering the pass. He is afraid that they will pick peaches, so they are not allowed to come to Jingzhao. Tens of thousands of Qi troops are still in Tongzhou. Only [-] Qi troops have been transferred to Jingzhao to maintain order. Get rid of us. There are only three thousand left."

"This information can't change your life!"

Lu Yuhou was terrified, and suddenly shouted: "There is also Wanyan Loushi who is seriously ill and is in Jingzhao City."

Chen Qing stared at his eyes for a while, then retracted the iron gun, "Tie him up!"

Lu Yuhou felt relieved and collapsed on the ground.

Corpses were piled up in the urn city, and blood flowed like a river. Each corpse was full of arrows. Dozens of soldiers of the Song army looked at the corpses in the urn city.

"Found it!" An excited soldier raised Wang Shijie's head high, and the surrounding soldiers immediately cheered.

Li Hua stood on the top of the city and looked coldly at the puppet soldiers of the Qi army who died in battle in the urn. Hearing that there was looting in the city, they rushed into the city one by one. These people did not know how many cities they looted and how many women they abused. Death is not a pity.

Chen Qing walked over quickly, Li Hua nodded approvingly to Chen Qing, Chen Qing saw through human nature, and used a very simple trick to lure him into the city, even a counselor might not be able to use this trick.

"How is it? Has the enemy army escaped outside the city?"

"One hundred and seventy prisoners of war were captured, twenty-nine were killed, and none escaped."

Li Hua happily said with a smile: "These prisoners happened to be handed over to Liu Dutong to prove our contribution!"

Chen Qing hesitated, "There is an important piece of information about Jingzhao City."

Chen Qing recounted the information provided by Lu Yuhou.

Li Hua narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you think this information is reliable?"

"The lowly officials repeatedly questioned. Tens of thousands of puppet Qi troops are still in Tongzhou. Only their [-] vanguard troops entered Jingzhao. Today's [-] people are part of them. The news should be reliable. General, this is a rare opportunity."

Li Hua was silent for a moment and said, "Let's discuss together!"

Chunhua County is not a fortress, nor is it a strategic location. It will be a matter of time to give up, but everyone has differences on the next step.

"General, Jingzhao City is empty. This is a rare opportunity. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch a tiger cub. If you make a peerless contribution, you can make the Huanqing Army famous again and wipe away the frustration!"

Chen Qing tried his best to persuade Li Hua, but Li Hua showed embarrassment. He wanted to lead his army to retreat westward from Jingyuan Road, but Chen Qing persuaded him to surprise Jingzhao City, which really put him in a dilemma.

Yao Ling sneered and said: "General Chen took it for granted. The so-called emptiness of Jingzhao City is just that there are no tens of thousands of troops stationed before. We can't deal with just a thousand Jurchen soldiers, let alone thousands of puppet Qis. military."

"Thousands of Jurchen soldiers are protecting Wanyan Loushi, not defenders. The real defenders are only [-] Han soldiers. We have [-] elite soldiers, and we can completely defeat them in one blow. As for the Jurchen army, it's not like that. Why should we be afraid of cavalry fighting on the plains and street fighting in the city?"

"Winning more with less is just a fluke, but General Chen regards it as normal. I really admire General Chen's ignorant and fearless courage!"

Chen Qing glared at Yao Ling, "We are in the dark, the enemy is in the open, we know ourselves and the enemy, and we have a plan in hand, but the enemy is ignorant. Is this a fluke?"

At this time, Li Hua let out a long sigh, "General Chen's courage is admirable, but the brothers are extremely lucky to have survived the war. They still have parents, wives and children at home. General Chen, Guanzhong is over. You don’t have to fight the tide.”

"General, we are not fighting against the general trend. Jingzhao is the enemy's logistics center. If Jingzhao is lost, the Jurchen army in front will inevitably retreat. This will buy precious time for our main force."

Li Hua was unmoved, he had made up his mind to go, only Yao Ling looked at this overbearing leader with a mocking face, who did he think he was?Can it change the overall situation?

Chen Qing stared at Li Hua speechlessly. Li Hua's originally resolute face had become relaxed, and his sharp eyes had also dimmed. His cowardice defeated the defense line of the general of the Song Army.

Chen Qing stopped persuading, everyone has his own ambitions, and he didn't want to force the other party.

"How many troops can General Li give me?"

Li Hua pondered for a while and said, "I can only give you five hundred soldiers at most, General Chen, I'm sorry, I can only do so much."

Chen Qing nodded silently. Five hundred soldiers had already exceeded his expectations.

...........
Five hundred soldiers gathered outside the city, Chen Qing cupped his fists towards the top of the city and said, "No matter what, I, Chen Qing, will always remember General Li's life-saving grace!"

Li Hua nodded, "General, take care!"

Chen Qing turned his horse's head and headed south with more than [-] soldiers without hesitation. Except for a dozen or so seriously injured soldiers who stayed in Chunhua County to recuperate from his more than [-] old troops, the rest of the soldiers did not hesitate. followed him further south.

On the top of the wall, Li Hua watched Chen Qingyi leave without hesitation, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Yao Ling sneered, "This kind of person doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth is thick, and insists on hitting a stone with an egg and finding his own death. The general doesn't have to feel sorry for him!"

Li Hua sighed, "This man is courageous, resourceful, courageous and resolute. If he does not die, he will definitely not be in the pool in the future. General Yao, we are indeed not as good as him."

The corner of Yao Ling's mouth curled slightly, "Not necessarily!"

Li Hua glanced at him and suddenly thought of his family background, so he didn't say anything more?
"Order the army to assemble and prepare to retreat north!"
