Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 491: Take down Jiangling

"Ah." This strange phenomenon caused both Zhang Shanlei and Yingbao to yell in fright, and at the same time let go of the weapons in their hands. But Guan Tianxia naturally wouldn't let them go, twisting his upper body, but dancing with a three-pointed two-edged sword, he slashed towards Zhang Shanlei's head. Zhang Shanlei was already a frightened bird, and he turned and ran without looking back. And when Zhang Shanlei ran like this, only Ying Leopard was left, not to mention his opponent in charge of the world. Before Ying Leopard recovered, he saw a flash of cold light. The leopard's throat crossed, and a bloodshot was taken up, and the British leopard could only plant weakly.

In just a few breaths, Guan Tianxia killed two British declared warlords and scared one away. This record hit the morale of the British propaganda army to the bottom. At the same time, the main force of Qingqi finally arrived.

Although the British Propaganda Army still resisted stubbornly, the gap between the cavalry that had already sprinted and the infantry who had not organized a defensive formation could not be made up by their tenacious fighting spirit. Thousands of Qingqi, like a sharp blade, smashed directly into the formation of the British Xuan army, leaving only a bloody corpse wherever they went.

"No way! We can only withdraw! If we don't withdraw, I'm afraid that the entire army will be wiped out." Qingqi's power is already very unexpected. Looking at this situation, Nangonghe also paled to Ying. Hua shouted.

Yinghua was completely stunned at this moment. He hasn't really fought a defeat since he took refuge in the British declaration. This is why Yinghua is so arrogant in getting along with his colleagues. But today's defeat completely shattered Yinghua's previous pride. He was completely blank in his heart now, and he didn't even know what to do.

"Damn!" Nangonghe didn't respond when seeing Yinghua, he cursed, and shouted to the soldiers on the left and right: "You hurry up and escort General Yinghua to retreat. Everyone, retreat! Retreat!" Now Yinghua In this way, Zhang Shanlei ran out of sight, Mu Wenshan and Ying Leopard had also been killed in battle, the British Xuan Army really could talk, only he and Xu Musen were left, and Nangong He gritted his teeth and took over the command unwillingly. , Issued an order to the British Propaganda Army.

At this moment, only a squeak was heard, the gate of the small county town unexpectedly opened slowly, but Huang Yunfei rushed out of the city with more than 5,000 heavy armored infantry, and together with Qingqi, launched an attack on the British Xuan army. That Huang Yunfei is a general. Naturally, he will not be merciful on this battlefield. It is precisely because you are sick to kill you, and it is entirely the idea of destroying all the fifty thousand British missionaries here.

The entire battle lasted for more than four hours. Under the joint massacre of light cavalry and heavy armored infantry, fifty thousand British propaganda troops and their captives were missing, and they lost half of them. There were only more than 20,000 defeated generals, and under the leadership of Nangong and Xu Musen, they fled towards the south. Qingqi chased for dozens of miles, and then gave up the pursuit and withdrew to the small county town to assist the heavy armored infantry in cleaning the battlefield.

It's not that Tianxia and Huang Yunfei didn't want to wipe out the remaining British Propaganda Army. The main reason was that after a whole night of fighting, Qingqi was too tired, whether it was a soldier or a war horse. If you continue to kill, if one is not paying attention, maybe it is counterattacked by the British propaganda army, then it will not be worth the loss. Moreover, in Huang Yunfei's opinion, the British Xuan army was rushed to the south, so there is no need to worry that the other party will go to Jiangling, and the coalition led by Wang Zhao Zhen will fight against them.

In the summer of the first year of Shaoxing, since the second crusade against the British Propaganda Alliance in Fengzhou Fengyang, the results have been beyond the expectations of the world. First of all, it was the coalition led by Xin Wang Zhaozhen who defeated 50,000 British propaganda troops several times in the public security, forcing the British propaganda troops of Yinghua not to go out to meet the enemy.

Then came news from Jiangling. The Zhao family army commanded Xie Xiaogui, led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, set off from the small road, went straight to the Jiangling Mansion, and besieged Jiangling City. The Jiangling City defender designed to ambush Xie Xiaogui, but Xie Xiaogui used his plan to break through Jiangling City. The Yingxuan clan, who had dominated for a while, died tragically by Xie Xiaogui's knife.

Other members of the Yingxuan party were also slaughtered by Xie Xiaogui's soldiers and horses, including the chief think tanks and officials of the Yingxuan line.

It is worth mentioning that it was Feng Chuan, a general under Ying Xuan, who tried to seduce Xie Xiaogui in a vain design. Feng Chuan offered this plan to Yingxuan, and Yingxuan agreed to Feng Chuan's faint move, and ended up tragically dead.

The city of Jiangling was destroyed and Yingxuan died. For a time, the name of Zhao Yanyijun once again resounded throughout the world. However, although Yingxuan died, but Yingxuan's party members were still there. Even though the force of King Zhao Zhen killed Yingxuan and seized Gangneung City by coincidence, it seemed that it could not stop the tens of thousands of Yingxuan troops left by Yingxuan.

And just when everyone thought that the great situation that Zhao Yanyi's army could hardly achieve would be destroyed by those hundreds of thousands of British proponents, the successive news from all over Jiangling Mansion shocked everyone.

After receiving news of the Jiangling crisis, the 50,000 British propaganda troops led by Yinghua immediately abandoned the police and hurried to Jiangling for rescue, but in a small county on the way, they encountered the interception troops arranged by the letter king Zhao Zhen in advance. . In Anglo China, the 50,000 British propaganda troops lost more than half of the losses in an instant. Immediately afterwards, he encountered a chase led by Xin Wang Zhaozhen on the bank of the Yangtze River. Almost all of the Anglo-Saxon army was annihilated. Only the Anglo-Xuan army led Nangong and fled with hundreds of remnants. Yinghua, the first general of the British Proclaimer, was beheaded by Hua Zhonglong, the commander of the letter king Zhao Zhen, on the bank of the Yangtze River.

And Liu Shidao, the most powerful Yingxuan think tank, hurriedly led the army stationed at Yingxuan to rescue, but when he had just passed by Jiangling Nanzhai, he was attacked by Wang De's army who was persuaded to surrender by the believer Zhao Zhen. Unprepared, Liu Shidao was defeated, and in the end he could only lead a defeated army of less than 20,000 to flee to the east.

After several battles, the letter king Zhao Zhen succeeded in occupying the Jiangling Mansion, and it can be said that he commanded half of the country under Zhao Gou's rule. More importantly, Zhao Zhen, the letter king, directly merged the Zhao Jiayi army into the letter king army in the name of surrendering to the letter king army. The letter king Zhao Zhen also showed his identity. Now that the letter king Zhao Zhen has made his identity clear, his prestige is instantly the same.

Almost a month has passed since the battle of Gangneung Prefecture. Outside of Gangneung City, all the ministers of Gangneung Prefecture who were invisible in ordinary days have appeared here, and they all stood at the gate of this city early in the morning. What are you waiting for.

For a while, the people of the entire Jiangling City all surrounded the gate. If it weren't for the army to enforce the martial law around, I'm afraid the gate of the city has been blocked and water can't leak.

Several of the officials frowned. Zhang Shun looked at the crowded people around him, snorted, and whispered to Zhong Pan next to him, "Brother Zhong. Then Xie Xiaogui is there. What are you doing? Right now, all the officials of our Jiangling Mansion are here. How can he allow so many unsophisticated people to watch here? What style is this?"

Compared to Zhang Shun’s reaction, Zhong Pan seemed much calmer. He glanced at the curious civilians around him, but shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said, "Brother Zhang Shun. In my opinion, this is also true. There is nothing wrong with it. Right now that the dog thief Yingxuan has been eliminated, the people's sentiment must be fluctuating. Our presence in front of the common people is also very helpful to stabilize the people's sentiment."

Zhang Shun obviously disagrees with Zhong Pan’s answer, saying: "We are all people with identities. The things that stabilize the people’s hearts were originally done by the officials under us. How can we be respected by our court officials? Come to do this? In my opinion, it should be possible to drive away these onlookers."

Zhang Shun looked at the civilians around him angrily, but Zhong Pan laughed dumbly. Why didn't he understand what Zhang Shun was thinking, and what kind of court officials? To put it bluntly, Zhang Shun still feels a bit embarrassed to be watched by civilians like this.

However, as an official in the same dynasty, Zhong Pan couldn't tell the lies of Zhang Shun. He immediately changed the subject and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang Shun, you said Brother Ouyang has arrived in Dingzhou smoothly now?"

The brother Ouyang mentioned by Zhong Pan refers to Ouyang Wen. When Zhang Shun heard Zhong Pan mention Ouyang Wen, he temporarily forgot his irritation from being watched by civilians, and snorted coldly, saying: "Ouyang Wen arrogantly acted as Song Chen and even colluded with the Yingxuan dog thief. Fortunately, he walked in time, otherwise The old man didn’t forgive him.” Before Yingxuan suddenly sent Lei Hongbao to Dingzhou, Ouyangwen matched the bridge, which made Xia Cheng and Yingxuan reach an agreement. Now that Yingxuan has collapsed, Ouyangwen also saw a bad opportunity. The land took the Xun family's youngest and escaped from Jiangling.

Compared with Zhang Shun’s anger, Zhong Pan acted very plainly. He said faintly: “Brother Ouyang’s move may also have his difficulties. I heard that Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang, both talents of the Zhang family of the Ouyang family I have already taken refuge in Xia Cheng's men. I was forced to retreat by Marshal Xinwang before, and finally relied on the help of Yingxuan. This was the result of this. I am afraid that some of these are related to Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang."

"Humph." Zhang Shun snorted coldly to Zhong Pan's words, and shouted in a low voice: "Even so, he Ouyang Wen shouldn't turn his back on the Song court or believe in the prince, and collude with the bandit army. Anyway. He. Ouyangwen is Song Chen."

Although Zhang Shun was righteous and awe-inspiring, Zhong Pan would not believe his nonsense. It seemed that he remembered that the Golden Soldiers invaded south and Wanyan Wushu invaded Jiangling Mansion. Du Chong's army defeated and retreated, and Zhang Shun was the first to take refuge. An officer of Jin Bing. Of course, as long as Zhong Pan understands these things in his heart, it doesn't make sense to break them.

At this time, the letter king Zhao Zhen asked about the war in Dingzhou in his handsome account. This time Xinwang Zhaozhen formed a crusade against the British Propaganda Alliance, and the battlefield was not only the side of Xinwang Zhaozhen, but also the two battlefields of Peng You and Xia Cheng, Chen Xin and Liu Guang. Although the most threatening British propaganda army has been wiped out by the letter king Zhao Zhen, Xia Cheng and Liu Guangna are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they don't know how Peng You and Chen Xin will respond.

Coincidentally, when Xin Wang Zhaozhen, Shan Hongfei and Ji Qianqian were discussing the matter, a shout came from outside the camp tent, and a soldier hurried to the entrance of the camp tent, facing the letter. Wang Zhaozhen and the three people knelt down and bowed, clasped their fists and shouted: "Report! Master Qi, Dingzhou Zhanbao."

"Dingzhou?" Xin Wang Zhao Zhen stood up immediately and shouted directly to the soldiers outside the camp: "Quick! Show me quickly."

Naturally, the soldier could not just send the battle report to the letter Wang Zhaozhen. Wang Di, who was guarding at the gate of the camp, quickly took the battle report from the soldier, walked into the camp and handed it to the letter king Zhao Zhen. And Xin Wang Zhao Zhen also hurriedly spread it out to take a look, but this look showed that Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's face was tightened, and there was a little sadness on his face immediately.

"My lord, but Peng You lost the battle over there?" Seeing the expression of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, but both Shan Hongfei and Ji Qianqian were shocked. According to the truth, Xia Cheng's soldiers and horses are already in the tripod. Ji Qianqian was crippled by Ji Qianqian in the First Battle of Zhou, and Peng You's subordinates had such a big killer as the cavalry, and he should be able to deal with Xia Cheng firmly.

"No. On the contrary, according to the battle report, Peng You's Xinwangjun cavalry has already conquered the city and captured Wuling of Dingzhou and most of the area. It is now moving towards the serial water village of Dongting Lake, Xia Cheng's base camp. "Xinwang Zhao Zhen shook his head, but handed the battle report to Shan Hongfei and Ji Qianqian, but the look on his face became more complicated.

What Xin Wang Zhao Zhen said, but it made Shan Hongfei and Ji Qianqian a little confused. Peng You is an ally of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, and Xia Cheng is the opponent of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. Since Peng You has an advantage, why Xin Wang Zhao Zhen But with an unhappy look? Among the two, Ji Qianqian was the most clever. After reading the battle report, she suddenly thought of something, and hurried to the map on the other side of the camp to study it carefully, and suddenly shouted, "My lord. Could it be that? Worried that Peng You was caught in Xia Cheng's tricks?"

"Not bad." Xinwang Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "Although Xia Cheng has few soldiers, his generals are like clouds, and the Zhang family brothers are helping. If Peng You and Xia Cheng are equal, nothing will happen. But now Peng You’s believer in the king’s army has easily taken down Dingzhou Wuling. I’m afraid there is fraud in this."

"Uh." Ji Qianqian also became silent, and when she followed Luo Yueer to leave Shimen where Xin Wang Zhao Zhen was located, she had read the information collected by Xin Wang Jun's Intelligence Department with the support of Xin Wang Concubine and Shuang Er. The information includes the branches of many families and forces in the South, as well as the classification of the talents and expertise of each family.

Among them, Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang have their own strengths. Indeed, as Xin Wang Zhao Zhen said, with the two of them assisting Xia Cheng, Xia Cheng really shouldn't be so passively beaten like he is now. Immediately, Ji Qianqian carefully studied the map, but no matter how wise Ji Qianqian was, she couldn't be ignorant of any situation. A single battle report could analyze the plans of Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang.

"Alright." Xin Wang Zhaozhen saw Ji Qianqian's frown, Dang Even persuaded: "Let's let this matter go for the time being. Originally, I didn't hope that Peng You could eliminate Xia Cheng. I contacted Peng You and Chen before. Xin, I just hope that they can help us hold Xia Cheng and Liu Guang. Now we have successfully occupied Jiangling Mansion, at least my goal has been achieved. Next, let's wait and see what changes. Shan General, now we will Jiangling City’s defenses are all taken over. Remember, this is very important, and you must never pretend to be against other forces."

Now Jiangling City has belonged to the letter king Zhao Zhen, and that letter king Zhao Zhen has now exposed his identity. This time, he was going to face Zhao Go's attack directly.

Even though Shan Hongfei took the command, at the same time, Xin Wang Zhaozhen turned his head and said to Ji Qianqian: "Qianqian, now we have control of Jiangling, then we should shift the focus of the garrison to Jiangling. You help me A letter was sent to the Guiyang Army and Wugong Mountain, as well as the Commander-in-Chief’s Mansion and all over Sichuan and Shu. Let the Commander-General’s Mansion and Fu Xuan allocate more staff to come together."

After that, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen sighed, shook his head and said: "This Jiangling Mansion and Yingxuan are messed up by Yingxuan. It takes a lot of work to get it over."

Jiangling and a large area of southern land have been taken, but Xinwang Zhao Zhen must mobilize a large number of grassroots officials to govern.

Ji Qianqian also nodded and agreed, and then Ji Qianqian suddenly said: "My lord. Now Jiangling Mansion belongs to my lord, what about the police?"
