A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,434 The power of one person

Yanzhou, as its name suggests, is named after its production of salt.

During the Tianbao period, this place was called Wuyuan County. Later, after repeated attempts, it was named Yanzhou.

This Yanzhou, which has always belonged to the Han Dynasty, gradually separated from the Central Plains after the former Tang Dynasty.

This is the tragedy of the times.

When the Central Plains was strong and powerful, everyone around them bowed their heads and behaved like lambs.

But when the Central Plains weakened, these lambs immediately transformed into hungry wolves and pounced on them and bit them crazily.

These cycles of chaos have been repeated many times, with few exceptions.

Yanzhou is the last barrier to Lingzhou's left wing, so it is heavily guarded.

Yanzhou guard Zhang Chong stood at the head of the city, looked ahead, and said with great ambition: "There are Hongzhou and Youzhou on the left side of Yanzhou, and Weizhou on the right side. Just pay attention to the enemy in front of you. The Song Army's middle road is Shenzhou." An, people say that Shen An is like a god in his military skills, but Yanzhou is impregnable, so I would like to see what he is capable of."

Someone under his command boasted: "There is no news from the Xishou Army on the right. It can be seen that the Song army is about to launch, and it is still early. As for the left, there is no way Zhe Jizu can fight over, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Zhang Chong put his hands on the city head and looked at the front, "Shen An and Han Qi appeared in Huanzhou a while ago. This was brewing, but why haven't you taken action yet? The army goes out for battle. Every additional day, The supply of food and fodder in the rear will be difficult for a day, what is he waiting for?"

In ancient times, when an army went on an expedition, food and grass came first.

Why?

Because the means of transporting grain and grass at this time was too primitive, that is, carts.

The oxen and horses pulling the cart need to eat, and the driver needs to eat...

The ones that are close are fine, but the ones that are farther away can make the officials in charge of logistics want to die: when a hundred kilograms of grain is transported to a place, half or most of it is often eaten on the way. On the way back, the oxen, horses, and driver had to continue eating...

Therefore, when a large army goes on an expedition, food and grass have the highest status.

The generals who command the army don't have to worry about anything else. They have to ask about how much food and grass is left every day.

In Zhang Chong's view, the Song army has been hoarding on the front line of Huanqing for too long. No matter how much money they have, there is no way to spend it like this, so the attack should be right in front of them.

"be careful."

He confessed and then went back.

When I just returned to my official office, someone came from outside and reported: "The army has been unified, and the defeated army of Youzhou has arrived."

Boom!

Zhang Chong kicked the overturner and strode out.

"How could Youzhou be lost? Who is here?"

"It's Li Baojiu."

Grass mud horse!

Zhang Chong's face was ashen, "Zhe Jizu must first defeat the Zuoxiang Military Division and Xiazhou if he wants to attack Youzhou. How can he do it so quickly? This matter is wrong. Let's take a look first before talking about it."

All the way to the top of the city, he saw more than a thousand cavalry below. They looked miserable, but he recognized the leader, who was none other than Li Baojiu.

"Who is attacking Youzhou?"

Zhang Chong just wants to kill people at this moment.

"It's Shen An." Li Baojiu looked very serious.

Zhang Chong knew that this was a pure guy, so he did not doubt his presence and asked again: "How did he capture Youzhou?"

Li Baojiu said: "He used a ranger to lure someone into attack, and then surrounded and killed him..."

The entire battlefield situation appeared in Zhang Chong's mind, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Cunning Shen An."

"There are cavalry in the distance!"

Someone pointed into the distance and exclaimed.

"It's the Song Army who is chasing us."

There was a commotion among Li Baojiu's men, and he shouted: "Open the city gate quickly."

Zhang Chong nodded, and someone shouted: "Open the door."

A group of people ran down, and someone said: "Could it be fake?"

The speaker was a sergeant, and he was laughing as he ran.

"That's Li Baojiu, he is so brave... The last time he competed with others, he defeated five warriors alone. How can such a person be fake?"

The city gate slowly opened.

Behind Li Baojiu, those lying on the horse gradually stood upright.

Someone at the top of the city asked in confusion: "Why are you so tall?"

Um?

Zhang Chong heard the sound and looked around, and saw a few defeated soldiers dragging something.

He looked carefully and saw that it was a knife and axe.

What's the meaning?

There are naturally swords and axes in the army, but these more than a thousand defeated soldiers are all swords and axes...

This is wrong!

Zhang Chong took a closer look and found that the defeated soldiers who were originally lying on the back of the horse and could not be seen to be taller gradually sat upright.

That figure...

Damn it!

This figure can be called a giant in Daxia, and if there are just a few of them, it will be a big deal.

But more than a thousand people appeared here, and one of them was so tall that he looked like a demon.

"wrong!"

In the midst of lightning and flint, Zhang Chong shouted: "Close the city gate!"

At the same time as he shouted, Li Baojiu shouted: "They found out."

That giant was Wang Que, and he shouted: "Kill in!"

Immediately, a sergeant lit the gunpowder can, shook it several times in his hand, and then threw it up.

The soldiers on the top of the city were setting their bows and arrows. Who would have thought that they would encounter a jar.

Boom boom boom!

Amidst the explosion, someone shouted: "The general is dead."

Zhang Chong fell to the ground with blood on his face.

He struggled to get up and shouted: "Here is someone, rush down and drive them away."

The explosion was a signal, and the Song army chasing after them was speeding up.

Under the city, the Song army had already launched an assault.

Wang Que rushed to the front with a big sword. With a wave of his hand, the two enemies in front became four.

"Lance stab!"

Someone is shouting, but there are no spears here!

The spear is still at the top of the city.

"Lancers down!"

After just a short delay, the Song army had already charged in.

The defenders gathered in front and formed a formation to counterattack.

"assault!"

Wang Qing took the lead and rushed over.

Since they are not heavily armored, their defensive capabilities plummet.

The defender is mobilizing archers. Once they are covered by archers, the entire army will be wiped out.

The only way is to rush into the city.

"The Axeman..."

The sword set off bloody arrows in the crowd, and everyone shouted in unison: "If you advance, never retreat!"

Wang was covered in blood, but his feet were speeding up.

But Zhe Kexing is faster!

He was sent here this time because he can speak Xixia dialect and can communicate when necessary.

But before it was his turn to communicate, the two sides started fighting.

Zhe Kexing wielded a long knife in an airtight manner, and he took the lead and actually killed him.

"Zhejiazi is really brave!"

Wang Que praised it and then slashed with all his strength.

Because there was no news from the Song army, most of the main defenders were resting in the city and were still on the way.

This is Wang Que's only chance.

If they missed it, they would have no chance of getting out alive.

"Li Baojiu, you traitor!"

Zhang Chong came with people.

Li Baojiu turned around, looked at him coldly, and then rushed over.

"kill him!"

Zhang Chong rushed over with three people.

The long knife kept flashing, and from time to time there was a faint sound of hitting a human body.

Amid the screams, Wang turned around and saw Li Baojiu volleying his sword in the air.

That figure reminded Wang Qing of a leopard.

Full of strength!

Zhang Chong blocked.

clang!

Li Baojiu landed, Zhang Chong looked at him blankly, his body shook a few times, and then he fell to the ground.

Really brave!

Such people are best suited to appear on the battlefield.

"Enemy Archers!"

This voice shocked Wang Que.

Just ahead, a group of archers were running towards them.

Without the cover of heavy armor, the swordsmen were as vulnerable as babies under the attack of arrows.

"The Duke is here."

The sound of horse hooves came from behind.

As soon as Shen An came in and saw the stalemate between the two sides, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted: "Get out of the way!"

The swordsmen and axemen ducked to both sides, and the cavalry rushed over.

The crossbow arrows came first, and then the defenders' infantry in formation were directly scattered by the war horses.

This is the inherent advantage of cavalry over infantry.

As soon as the archers behind them unfurled their bows and nocked arrows, they were attacked by gunpowder pots.

Before the smoke from the explosion cleared, Shen An and his cavalry rushed over.

Massacre!

This is an asymmetrical massacre!

The archers collapsed and were running away.

Song troops poured in continuously and rushed to important places under the leadership of Li Baojiu.

The enemy troops began to gather, but they were in chaos after losing Zhang Chong's command.

The array they formed looked very huge in the city, and the edges could not be seen at a glance.

"My lord, it's a bit painful!"

There was a trace of blood on Wang Zhenchao's face, and he looked particularly ferocious.

Many infantry have now become cavalry, such as Wan Shengjun.

However, their riding skills are very confusing. After dismounting, most of them walk with a limp.

This is the inner thigh being worn by the war horse.

If you want to learn to ride a horse, you will have to suffer this injury several times.

Cao Yan said confidently: "Leave this battle to Wan Shengjun, and I promise to kill them."

Zhe Kexing said: "Light a fire."

In an instant everyone looked at him.

What a vicious plan!

Although this fire can burn these enemy troops to death, Yanzhou City may also be burned to the ground. It is considered good for the people inside to survive for three years.

As expected, he is Zhejiazi, ruthless.

"This is Yanzhou of the Song Dynasty."

Shen An was like a glutton, wishing he could protect every inch of Yanzhou.

"Then...what should we do?"

The most troublesome thing about fighting is this situation. You can't light the fire. If you fight, there will be too many casualties and it will be heartbreaking.

If you can’t fight, what should you do?

Everyone looked at Shen An and felt that the Duke seemed too hesitant in this expedition.

Just destroy it and rebuild it, and the Song Dynasty will not be short of this little money.

Now that we are in a stalemate, we will probably still have to pay for it with human lives, which is not worth it!

"Go and persuade us to surrender!"

Following Shen An's order, someone from UU Reading www.uukanshu.net went to the front and loudly persuaded them to surrender.

"They won't surrender."

In a desperate situation, he still wanted to resist.

"As expected, he is from Xixia."

Shen An smiled and said, "Tell them that if you don't want to become Jingguan, it's best to surrender immediately."

Later, the voice on the other side became quieter, and someone was asking.

"They asked who was leading the charge."

"Tell me your name."

The Xixia people showed their fearlessness in the desperate situation, and the Song troops present could not help but sigh for such an opponent.

What a soldier!

"Zhilong Tuge of the Great Song Dynasty, Duke Shen'an of Fanyang County."

Jingguan, Shen An!

The cavalry had already surrounded them from behind, and a fight seemed inevitable.

There began to be commotion among the enemy troops.

Some are shouting, some are retorting.

"They said they would be killed and then piled up in Jingguan."

"If someone says die, die."

"Those people are afraid, saying that they are afraid that their souls will not be able to return."

"It is said that Jingguan is an evil thing that can frighten people's souls."

"He also said you are Jingguan Shen."

"Jingguan Shen?" Shen An smiled.

The Xixia people suddenly started killing each other, killing and wounding more than a hundred people, and then all those people abandoned their swords and knelt down.

Shen An walked over, and the defenders were saying something piously.

"They said they would do anything as long as they were not turned into Jingguan."

Without Zhang Chong's command, the defenders became a mass of scattered sand. Shocked by the fierce god Shen An, they knelt down and asked to surrender.

Wang Zhenchao looked at Shen An walking forward and murmured: "Is the power of one person so powerful?"

Shen An stood there alone, with all the enemy soldiers kneeling in front of him, and no one dared to raise their head.

The second update is here, there are more.
