It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [Luoqiu Chinese] The fastest update! No ads!

As the ladder climbed up to the top of the city, Zhe Kexing shouted: "Get out of the way!"

The sergeants moved out of the way, and with the shield in his left hand and the long sword in his right hand, he quickly stepped forward and took advantage of the momentum to charge forward.

A face poked out from the top of the city, and the Liao army drew their bows and arrows...

Zhe Kexing raised his shield, roared loudly, and pushed it forward.

Bang!

The Liao army was knocked away, and the left side of his chin was cut open by the edge of the shield. It looked like there was an extra mouth, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

A group of Liao troops formed a formation and rushed over.

On the left, Wang Que swept across the city with a broadsword, unstoppable.

Farther away, several Liao soldiers scooped up the golden juice and poured it down with spoons.

The golden juice poured down, and Song Jun screamed and fell down on the ladder.

A general checked the injured soldiers and shouted: "It's gold juice, let the crossbow arrows come closer!"

After the news was reported, Shen An nodded, "Let's go over in small groups and be careful of the enemy's bows and arrows."

Bows and arrows can be thrown, but crossbows can only shoot straight at close range.

Teams of crossbowmen came forward and raised their crossbows.

"Fire the arrow!"

Several Liao soldiers were happily preparing to splash gold juice again, but they were all knocked down by this wave of crossbow arrows.

"Fire the arrow!"

The Liao army's archers showed their power, and a wave of arrows fell over the city. Many crossbowmen fell.

"Master Zhe is coming up!"

"The swordsman is here!"

Shen An squinted at the city head and said, "Why are you nervous? This is not Youzhou City. Our army's crossbowmen will be sure to kill them. The infantry only ascended the city to occupy it."

Yang Du nodded, "Shen Long Tu's words make sense."

A group of cavalry came from the right. They approached to verify their identities, and the leading general was brought in.

"Shen Longtu, 30,000 enemy troops are coming for reinforcements, the distance is seven or eight miles."

Shen An glanced at the right side and said: "This is to create a flanking attack when our army attacks Fanyang City. It's interesting, but the Liao army did not expect that Fanyang City was vulnerable. A certain military order was passed, and the cavalry detoured and the infantry moved forward... …”

Infantry forward?

What are you trying to do?

Yang Du was about to ask when Wang Zhenchao shouted: "Shen Longtu has an order, the infantry will attack..."

"Military order, attack!"

A huge array of 70,000 infantrymen advanced.

"Why?" Yang was here to supervise the army. Supervising the army required some military knowledge, but he only had some.

In front of the famous general Shen An, he has always been curious, hoping to learn something.

"Cavalry is important, but infantry is the key to this battle." Shen An rode his horse and followed slowly, "Infantry has always been the soul of the Song Dynasty. If the infantry does not collapse, the Song Dynasty will not collapse! But this time the army went to the north, the cavalry There were so many of them, the morale of the infantry was low, so I personally led them to fight the enemy reinforcements and recover the soul of the Song Dynasty!"

"Recover the soul of Song Dynasty..."

Yang Du was startled and muttered.

"Send an order to clear the city as soon as possible. It's just one line. Regardless of whether they are Han people or Liao people, as long as they put down their weapons, they are all common people of the Song Dynasty and cannot be harmed."

"As you command!"

"Send the order: Anyone who resists will be killed. All the prisoners will be escorted to the rear, and a message will be sent to the prime minister. He thinks that the northern part of the Song Dynasty needs to build roads and canals, and we will start working on it now."

"As you command!"

"By the way, go to Xiongzhou to report the victory and tell the rich prime minister that Shen is now the Duke of Fanyang County!"

"As you command!"

Groups of cavalry went around, and Shen An rode his horse forward slowly.

Xuchang whispered: "Shen Longtu's Duke Fan Yang... Fan Yang has always been in the hands of the Liao people, and now it is justifiable."

"The officials named him Duke Fanyang. Now that I think about it, this is the profound meaning of it!" Yang Du couldn't help but sigh.

In the city, the enemy hedgehogs gathered to resist, but the king led his men to kill in front. Blood flowed on the streets, and from time to time an axe-hand slipped and fell.

"Kill one and count them all!"

Xiao Yeduo raised his knife and shouted from behind.

His eyes were red, and he was surrounded by soldiers.

"That's the Song axe-wielder!"

You can't see what's ahead here, but from time to time you can see a broadsword being raised and blood splattering.

"Reinforcement! Drive the Song people out!"

The Song army was evacuating. When the Liao army saw it, they shouted happily: "The Song army has evacuated!"

Xiao Yeduo was so excited that he trembled all over, "Charge! Charge up!"

He felt that he was such a talented general that he defeated the Song people with one counterattack.

"Fight back! Let's fight back!"

He rushed forward with a long knife.

"Don't be afraid, think about the Battle of Feishui!"

The Battle of Feishui was an example of the weak defeating the strong. Xiao Yeduo felt that he was close to Xie An's level.

Just one sentence.

——The children have defeated the enemy!

"Get out of the way!"

The Song troops in front retreated one after another, and a group of sergeants carrying earthen jars rushed forward.

"Throw it over!"

Crock pots flying...

"It's a gunpowder pot from the Song Dynasty!"

"Back off! Back off!"

The rushing Liao army began to be confused.

The earthen jar fell to the ground, and amid the dense explosions, the Song Army launched a general attack.

"Crossbow arrows... let go!"

Crossbow arrows flew over in waves, and the swordsmen and axemen rushed to kill them, and the enemy army was defeated.

Xiao Yeduo, who was rushing at the front, met Wang Que and was cut into two pieces with just one blow.

What followed was a clearing campaign.

Outside Fanyang City, Shen An led the infantry all the way forward, and the scouts had already encountered the enemy.

"The enemy group has arrived."

The last wave of scouts returned, everyone was covered in blood, and their number was reduced by 70%.

Shen An nodded.

"Array up!"

"Axeman!"

The Axeman began to put on his armor.

The thick armor shone in the morning sunlight, and the sword and ax stood on the side, its blade flashing with cold light.

Thirty thousand enemy cavalry began to slow down.

"Xu..."

The scouts from the front returned and reported in front of a man wearing a large cloak: "Tell me, sir, the Song Army's 70,000 infantry are arrayed in front."

The man wiped his beard and said calmly: "Thirty thousand cavalry versus seventy thousand infantry. If I fight with you, what can he do?"

A general on the side said: "My husband, I am afraid of the Song Army's cavalry."

The man nodded, "Send out the rangers to explore both sides. Remember, send more. Otherwise, if we are outflanked by Shen An's men, I will have no shame in returning to Nanjing City."

"As commanded."

The knights set off towards the two wings. The man pointed forward with his riding crop, "Further forward, I want to see the will of the Song people!"

Thirty thousand cavalry gradually approached.

"Who is that person?"

Shen An asked, pointing at the man.

A captured general was pulled over. He looked carefully and said, "It seems to be Mr. Yelu, the envoy of the Southern Privy Council."

"Yeluxiu?"

Shen An smiled and said, "That's fine, I'll try his quality today."

The official structure of the Liao people has many similarities with the Central Plains, such as the Privy Council.

However, the Privy Council of the Liao people was divided into north and south. The South Privy Council was in charge of the staff and finance, and the North Privy Council was in charge of the army.

As for the King of the South Campus and the King of the North Campus, they are the institutions that control the military and civilian affairs of the tribe. Each controls the most powerful tribe in the Liao Kingdom, and is affiliated with the Northern and Southern Prime Minister's Offices, with considerable power. In other words, the so-called king of the North and South Academy, who has a mother-in-law on his head, is not a top boss.

Although the Liao Kingdom learned from the Central Plains in everything, it had its own characteristics in some aspects, as was the case with the North and South Academy.

As a civil official in charge of civil affairs, Yelvxiu personally led an army to help, which can be said to be full of courage.

Before setting off, he told Yelu Hongji that if he could not win, he would live and die with Youzhou City.

Loyal minister!

Yelu Hongji had been a little decadent recently, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed to have this loyal minister, and gave him the power to control the army and people of Nanjing Road. In other words, the important task of resisting the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty was given to him.

After finding out that the Song army was gathering in Xiongzhou, he waited for a few days and personally led 30,000 cavalry to come to the rescue. By the way, he wanted to see the quality of the Song army.

"My lord, if we go any further, we will be within the range of the Song Army's crossbows."

"Stop!"

Yelvxiu looked carefully and found no crossbow array.

"Where's the crossbow formation?"

He looked again and saw nothing.

The general said: "Maybe... maybe you didn't show it?"

The Song Army has no crossbow formation, this is an opportunity!

His subordinates were moved.

Yelvxiu was also moved.

He turned his eyes and saw Shen An in front of the Song Army array.

"That's Shen An, right?"

"yes."

Shen An's youth made Yelu Xiu envious, and he hesitated.

"My lord, Shen An is cunning with his troops and can often surprise him..."

Boss, we have to be careful!

Some people are ready to take action, and some people are worried.

This is the deterrence brought by Shen An.

"We are cavalry and we run away when we find something wrong. How can he still use his legs to catch up with us?"

"It would be difficult for the Song Army's cavalry to encircle and suppress us here. There are not enough of them."

There is so much open space here, how can the Song Army's tens of thousands of cavalry intercept and encircle it?

"Ms. sir, do it!"

A group of generals are asking for orders.

However, several generals said with worried faces: "Ms. sir, Shen An's military skills are like a god! Is he being deceitful?"

"Maybe he has some hidden tricks!"

A civil servant said: "Ms. sir, there is a gangster named Shen An in the Song Dynasty who is called Convincing People with Virtue, which means he is ruthless. He has broken countless people's legs and has countless enemies. He has to travel for this purpose. How can such a person take risks when there are many people protecting him?”

Yelvxiu pondered: "If the whole army attacks, can we kill him on the spot regardless of the cost?"

The civil servant frowned and said, "Is it okay to annihilate the entire army?"

Is this going too far?

In order to kill Shen An, you actually risked the entire army being annihilated. Why?

Yelvxiu glanced at the generals.

"If we can kill him, it will be worth it to kill all 30,000 troops!"

The civil servant took a deep breath and then realized why.

If Shen An can be killed, the morale of Daliao will be greatly boosted, and the Song people will be in despair.

Is this price worth it?

Of course it’s worth it!

"Shen An is an important figure in the New Deal of the Song Dynasty, and he is a supporter of the Northern Expedition. His father Shen Bian is like this. The father and son are of the same blood. If he can be killed, the Song Emperor will remove an arm, so..."

Yelvxiu raised his hand, and the cavalry behind him stood ready.

Shen An, who was on the opposite side, saw his movements and smiled: "This is what I was waiting for."

With that said, he rode out of the formation.

He actually rode out alone like this.

This is provocation.

Come, come and kill me!

Yelvxiu didn't move his raised hand, he was hesitating.

Shen An moved forward a little further and waved his hand, as if he was a big boss who came down to inspect the Liao army.

Then he shouted: "Yeluxiu, do you dare to come?"

One man rushed forward, and 30,000 cavalry were restless.
