The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 500 Before reaching the mountainside, half die first

"Marshal!" Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others joined Zhao Gou, and everyone shouted in unison.

Zhao Gou nodded slightly, and said, "You all have worked hard!"

Afterwards, everyone followed Zhao Gou's left and right sides, and the three armies converged in one place. They were all soldiers of the Song Army, and Yelude waited alone on the city wall, staring at the mighty Song Dynasty. Army, there is no fear or timidity in his heart, what is just plain.

"Now that the general situation is over, Weizhou has been taken over by our army, and you are the only one guarding this place. You can't resist my pace at all, so you should surrender quickly."

Yelude looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Today, it doesn't matter anymore. Even if there is only one soldier in the battle, so what? I, Yelude, as the commander of the Song Army, was ordered to guard Wei Zhoucheng. Now, Weizhou has fallen, and the responsibility is duty-bound!"

"If I surrender to you, how can I see my dead brother? Today I know that I will die, but I have a request. Even if I die, I want to die in an upright manner. Commander, you don't want to be said to be a Let the crowd bully the widow!"

Zhao Gou asked, "Then what should General Yelu say?"

"One-on-one, fair decisive battle!" Yelude said calmly, "But I have a request, that person must be the general who fought with my second brother before, I wonder if the commander-in-chief can agree?"

Zhao Gou smiled and said: "General Yelu, do you take yourself too seriously? Now that the overall situation has been settled, Weizhou is already in my pocket. How can you compete with us with your own strength? War is important. What matters is the result, as for the process, so what? History is left for future generations to comment, as long as you have a clear conscience!"

Yelude was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Zhao Gou to not accept such a trick.Among the Liao army, if someone mentions one-on-one, no matter if it is a complete victory or under any circumstances, he will agree. This is the behavior of a warrior, and he should agree. However, he met the Song army, and this trick is useless.

Yelude knew that he was going to die, and he stayed in Lingxian City with the determination to die, vowing to live and die with this city.However, he still had one thing to do. If it wasn't for revenge for his dead second brother, he could have abandoned the city and fled.

"Forget it!" Yelude looked at Zhao Gou suddenly, and then said, "For the sake of you being a hero, then I promise you!"

The turn of events caused Yelude to be a little confused, and looked at Zhao Gou in a daze.At the same time, Zhao Gou also asked who was going to fight, and everyone rushed forward one after another, wanting to teach him a good lesson. Seeing his arrogant appearance, he was full of fighting spirit.

"General Han, then you can fight!" Zhao Gou asked Han Shizhong to fight by name, which made him stunned, and quickly agreed to go forward, but Zhao Gou called out, and said in a low voice: "Han Shizhong General, give him a good time!"

Han Shizhong nodded, he understood what Zhao Gou said.In fact, Yelude stayed behind alone, the meaning is self-evident, he is begging for death.Since he wants to be loyal, Zhao Gou will fulfill him and give him a good reputation.

Moreover, Han Shizhong killed Yelu Dequan, Yelude just wanted to avenge his younger brother, and that also fulfilled him.With Han Shizhong's martial arts, Zhao Gou believed that there would be no danger, so he let him go to end all this, and let Yelude die well.

Seeing that Zhao Gou really agreed to his request and only let Han Shizhong come, Yelude was a little stunned.Then, he quickly came down and opened the city gate.Zhao Gou did not issue an attack order either, allowing Han Shizhong to fight him alone.

Han Shizhong shouted: "Kill!"

"Good time!" Yelude was elated, and he galloped forward to fight Han Shizhong and the two of them.

Wu Yong watched the battle between Han Shizhong and Yelu Decai intently, then turned his head to look at Zhao Gou, and asked in puzzlement, "Marshal, Weizhou is already in our pocket. What can we do? Why don't we attack in one fell swoop and completely take down Lingxian City?"

Lu Junyi said in a deep voice: "From his expression just now, it can be seen that Yelude is ready to die. The commander-in-chief intends to fulfill his fame and leave him with a little dignity!"

Zhao Gou smiled and said nothing, his eyes stayed on Han Shizhong and Yelu Decai all the time, seeing that the two of them were fighting inextricably, and couldn't tell the winner for a while, he said in a deep voice: "General Liu, General Yue, General Lu, You three, I have something for you to do!"

Liu Guangshi, Yue Fei, and Lu Junyi were stunned for a moment, and said, "The last general is here!"

"The three of you led an army of [-] to intercept the Xinzhou reinforcements. Remember that you don't need to chase, you just need to besiege and defend, and let them retreat in spite of difficulties." Zhao Gou said solemnly, "I want them not to reach the mountainside." , die half first."

"The last general takes orders!" The three obeyed the order and retreated immediately.

If the Xinzhou reinforcements want to reach Lingxian to come to the rescue, the army must pass through Shunsheng and Ding'an to reach Lingxian.According to the time calculation, Zhao Gou guessed that the Xinzhou reinforcements should not be far from Lingxian, and they must have passed Ding'an County.

At this time, a large army was sent to intercept the reinforcements and completely let them leave the circle of Weizhou.As for Yelude, he has always insisted on facing an army of tens of millions of people alone, which is tantamount to being a cart with arms.What purpose is there but the determination to die?
Zhao Gou thought about it carefully, and the only possibility was to delay the time and let the reinforcements arrive at Lingxian.If what he expected is correct, the north gate of Lingxian City has already been opened.Therefore, Zhao Gou ordered Liu Guangshi, Yue Fei and others to chase and intercept him.

Yelude's martial arts skills are not bad, but it's a pity that Han Shizhong is better than him. After half an hour of fighting, Yelude finally collapsed due to exhaustion.Han Shizhong pierced his chest with a gun, and Yelude spat out blood, and fell directly from the horse's back, dying.

Seeing that Yelude was dead, Zhao Gou immediately sent an order for the army to enter the city and take over Lingxian City completely.

The army entered the city mighty and mighty, and the people in the city were panic-stricken and did not dare to go out.It wasn't until noon, when the situation was settled, that they opened the door and came to check the news.Zhao Gou entered the city and ordered the soldiers not to disturb the people, and asked the army to take stock of the military supplies in Lingxian City.

After counting, there are still 10,000+ stones left in Lingxian City, but there are not many weapons and equipment left, and there are millions of taels of money and other things.Therefore, Zhao Gou sealed up all the money in the city, and then reported the situation here to the imperial court, and the imperial court made a decision.

Liu Guangshi, Yue Fei and others bypassed the south gate, marched quickly, and went straight to the north gate.Sure enough, when they arrived at the north gate and sent spies to inquire about the news, they found that the reinforcements were less than thirty miles away from Lingxian City.Then, the three of them immediately led the army to intercept.

Since the Xinzhou reinforcements encountered many deserters along the way, they learned that Lingxian City was in danger after inquiry, so they hurriedly speeded up their journey.It's a pity that they didn't get a good rest along the way. The soldiers were exhausted physically and mentally, and they met the imposing Song Army again. They were destined to be defeated in this battle.

In less than half an hour, more than half of the Xinzhou reinforcements were lost, and finally they had to send an order to retreat.Immediately, the reinforcements lost their morale, and the soldiers fled in all directions, even their generals couldn't control them. This situation was really beyond everyone's expectations.

The reinforcements, who were originally exhausted, were ordered by the general to retreat after the Song army was defeated; suddenly, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, they mustered all their strength and fled away quickly.Song Jun didn't chase them and let them escape.

At the same time, Weizhou was officially under the complete control of Song Jun!
