Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 58 Golden Dog!

Who am I, where do I come from, where do I go.

This is Plato's classic three questions, and when Liu Ling really touched the city wall of Baigou Town, he suddenly felt the same absurdity.

In front of him, many soldiers began to skillfully use simple siege equipment, ladders, and grappling hooks. Fortunately, the wind was blowing loudly and it was late at night. When the Changsheng soldiers climbed to the top of the city, the city's Belonging has been determined.

Although Xiongzhou has always been an important town in the north, because Tan Zhen recently planned to rebuild an army, he first transferred some soldiers to Bazhou in Xiongzhou - anyway, there is a victorious army to resist in the north, and the Jin people will not Maybe go south at this time.
  "kill!"

A soldier of the Victory Army forcibly knocked a Song soldier off the city wall. The screams woke up the entire city. The city gate slowly opened, the sound of cavalry's hoofbeats sounded on the street, and countless houses were lit with lights. In the light, some people poked through the window paper and peeked outside in surprise.

"Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Zhang Wu swung his sword to cut off the flags at the top of the city. The Song flag fluttered down. He grabbed the flag with one hand, turned around and shouted to a dozen Song soldiers who were still resisting: "We are not rebellious. The court will decide what is right and wrong." , don’t risk your life rashly, put down your knives!”

He thought that Baigou Town was completely in his hands, but soon, the city began to light up, and groups of Song soldiers appeared, marching towards the city gate. This was the border after all, no matter what In this way, there are still people who are wary of the north.

Several officers shouted orders in the military formation, and dozens of crossbowmen raised their crossbows. After a moment, they shot arrows. The soldiers of the victorious army in front of the city gate were caught off guard, and several of them were shot down on the spot.

Liu Ling got on his horse again, and in a hurry he had no time to mobilize more soldiers. "Everyone, follow me and crush them!"

There was a mess at the city gate. When they entered the city, many soldiers dispersed. Only Liu Ling's old troops were still following him. When Liu Ling shouted, more than a hundred riders immediately rode forward, preparing to charge. .

After shouting, Liu Ling moved slightly to the side, picked up his bow and arrow, pointed it at the Song army's queue, randomly selected the target, and shot the arrow and someone fell to the ground immediately.

Many victorious army cavalry also carried bows and arrows. When they saw someone on their side fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, they also fired arrows together. The Song army was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, and many of them did not even have time to wear armor. , he was hit by several arrows in the face in an instant, screamed and fell to the cold ground, and soon lost his voice.

When Liu Ling put down his bow and arrow, the cavalry in front had already accelerated to attack the already defeated Song soldiers. When he rode forward, a sleeping "corpse" on the roadside suddenly jumped up and hugged the saddle of Liu Ling's horse.

He struggled to raise his head and looked at the young general riding a war horse, with hatred in his eyes. After a moment, he roared,

"Golden dog, suffer death!"

The officials above all said that the Liao Kingdom was dead and that the Jin people were now in the north. In addition, most of the people in the Ever Victorious Army still wore Liao uniforms, so the equally young corps commander thought Liu Ling was a Jin general. .

He held the saddle with one hand, and struggled to find something from his arms with the other hand.

Liu Ling was originally going to let him go, but when he saw a dagger exposed in Song Bing's hand, his eyes widened immediately.

Am I stupid? !
  He still remembered the experience of being shot with cold arrows at the head of Yuyang City, so he tried his best to prevent himself from being injured on the battlefield. When Song Bing tried his best to raise his hand to stab out the dagger, Liu Ling hit him hard with the handle of the knife. On his head, he kicked his right leg violently, and then smashed the entire hard bow into Song Bing's hand.

After several blows in succession, Song Bing's frostbitten hands immediately opened with wounds. Liu Ling held the reins, and the white horse under him neighed and raised its front hooves. Most of Song Bing's body immediately fell to the ground, screaming and letting go. He opened his hand and left a bright red handprint on the saddle.

He lay on the ground, his eyes were so dark that he couldn't see anything, but he still roared tremblingly: "Grandpa Song is here."

puff!
  A victorious army cavalry came on horseback. The tip of his spear pierced Song Bing's body, and then used the momentum of the horse to lift him high.

"Protect the general!"

"Protect the general!" The nearest dozen cavalrymen noticed the situation and immediately approached Liu Ling. He glanced at the body that was smashed to the ground again and silently urged his horse forward.

Anyone who behaves recklessly in the city will be killed without mercy.

Liu Ling used the military orders of Guo Yaoshi and also paid a large amount of reward money. Most of the cavalrymen of the Ever Victorious Army did not know what they were going to do, and it was difficult to understand that the superiors first went against the Jin people and then came to fight the Song Dynasty. What kind of operation is a person?

They only know that they can gain benefits by attacking the city.

Liu Ling's headquarters had about 800 cavalry. After entering the city, they stood quietly behind Liu Ling, looking coldly at his fellow victorious soldiers who were eager to get their rewards.

Zhao Heshou was also among those people, and even looked at Liu Ling with some confusion, wondering why he was so "maverick".

Liu Ling once planned to use Zhuozhou's land to attract soldiers and civilians and increase their loyalty, but he soon discovered that as long as you give them a mouthful of food, most of these soldiers and people can do things for you. If you let them eat every day Rice, most people will be completely devoted to you.

When the soldiers were given rewards, they were willing to fight and fight, and Liu Ling established prestige in his army. When low-level officers gave orders, only a few soldiers showed doubts, and most of them returned to the team in accordance with the orders.

Guo Pharmacist's reinforcements will not arrive until tomorrow. Liu Ling and his cavalry rested in Baigou Town until noon. They only replenished the necessary dry food and water, and then headed towards Xiongzhou City - according to the news, most of the food grains were stored there.

If the chief officials of Xiongzhou City are careful to observe, they will find that there have been a lot more big merchants entering and exiting the city in the past few days, and they all enter the city with a large number of carriages and horses.

In this regard, the defenders at the city gate were very happy, because those merchants spent a lot of money, not to mention the officers above, even they got the money casually bribed by the merchants, so they were eager to get as much as possible.

But the defenders also didn't notice that when the merchants left the city, the vehicles carrying "goods" in the team were obviously much lighter.

When night fell again, several defenders who were still standing at the top of the city were gathering together to chat, and they seemed to hear a vague sound.

"Lao San, it's just snowing tonight, why is there thunder?" Someone suddenly asked in confusion.

"What thunder? Did your ears hear it wrong?" An old soldier chuckled.

They didn't bother to look for the source of the sound at first, but then a scream rang out, and at the same time, increasingly exaggerated clicking sounds rang in their ears.

After guarding the city for many years, they finally realized what seemed to be the sound of the city gate opening.

There were already more than a dozen corpses lying at the city gate. The smell of blood was blown by the strong wind and wafted particularly strongly to everyone's noses.

Outside the city, countless torches lit up in an instant, forming a long dragon and quickly approaching the city gate.

The soldiers standing on the city wall could clearly feel the vibration under their feet.

The breaths exhaled by the cavalry condensed into white mist in front of them, which was then dispersed by them. Around the cavalry, countless horse hooves stepped heavily on the frozen ground, and the sound continued to come, gathering like rolling thunder.

The old soldier was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted heartbreakingly: "Light the beacon fire, burn the smoke, the golden dog is coming!"

Hearing the shouts from the top of the city, Liu Ling slowed down his horse slightly.

Why did he suddenly become a golden dog?
