Through the enemy’s changes, Lin Yuhu had already seen that the reason why Liu Jiajun was able to maintain the formation was entirely due to Song Dashan’s role. All he had to do was to take advantage of Liu Jiajun’s front army to separate and prepare to attack the Liu Jiajun warlord. Under the horse.
However, it is not so easy to rush to Song Dashan. Lin Yuhu has to deal with the arrows shot by the two thousand archers in Liu's army. However, Lin Yuhu was not an ordinary character. While sprinting towards Liu Jiajun, he flew up and down in front of the halberd in both hands, smashing away all the arrows that were directed at him.
Of course, this does not guarantee that there will be no fish that slipped through the net, but the few arrows that passed through Lin Yuhu's defense only hit the armor and leaves of the shoulders or legs, and other vital parts were fine. Adding to the fact that there were also Song Jun archers covering Lin Yuhu, Lin Yuhu just rushed into Liu Jiajun's army.
Song Dashan was busy directing the army's battle at the moment, but suddenly felt that the sky above him was darkened, as if the sky was covered. I looked up and saw that in front of me, a tall figure stood in front of me, not to mention the terrifying black face, just the tall body and the few arrows stuck in the gap between the leaves of the body. The pressure brought by the arrow made Song Dashan unable to breathe. Lin Yuhu's eyes flashed that strange light, and apart from anything else, the Great War Halberd in his hand fell directly towards Song Dashan's head.
Although Song Dashan can be regarded as a general, this martial arts is not good, even a second-rate general, how can he stop Lin Yuhu's ultimate move? Before Song Dashan could react, he was already cut directly from the top of his head to his abdomen by Lin Yuhu's iron halberd, and his whole person was also split in half.
The blood spurted from both sides of Song Dashan's body, but it was spilled all over Lin Yuhu's body, matching the honor of Lin Yuhu, the resurrected hell evil spirit. Lin Yuhu turned his head and saw that his forehead wrinkled into a ball. At this time, Liu Jiajun’s army had already formed a battle with the Song Army. In order to ensure that the newly established Liu Jiajun recruits would not be self-conflicting, Liu Tong had promoted a large number of low-level officers before. Now these low-level officers have replaced the role of commander-in-chief and are directing subordinate operations.
In this way, Lin Yuhu's rush to kill Song Dashan did not have the most important effect. However, Lin Yuhu did not give up because of this. He simply wiped his hand on his face and wiped off some of the blood stains on his face. Zongma directly slammed into Liu Jiajun's archer army and started a frenzied killing.
At the same time, cruel hand-to-hand combat has begun on the left and right wings of the two armies. Perhaps in terms of quantity, the Song army is not as good as Liu Jiajun. But compared to fighting power, Liu Jiajun is far inferior to Song Jun. Coupled with the previous defeat of Nangong Xiong, the morale of Liu Jiajun was seriously hit. Although those officers were in command of the operations, they still could not restore the defeat.
At this moment, Lin Yuhu beheaded Song Dashan, and began to slaughter those archers in the rear army. These changes also greatly affected the soldiers' morale of Liu Jiajun. Under the influence of many factors, Liu Jiajun began to inevitably retreat.
"Asshole!" A violent shout suddenly sounded from the rear army, and only one person was staggering up on the horse, roaring at Lin Yuhu, it was the Nangong bear who had been hit by Lin Yuhu's throwing knife before and fainted. Nangong Xiong, who had just woke up, saw that the army had fallen into defeat, and his eyes turned red. The soldiers around were persuading Nangong Xiong to retreat, but Nangong Xiong shouted angrily: "You are trusted by adults and Zhao. How? Can you lose here? The husband fought on the battlefield, and when the horse shroud, he died." After saying that, Nangong Xiong exhausted his last bit of strength, carrying a big spear and killing him towards Lin Yuhu.
In the face of Nangong Xiong's last fight, although the spirit is commendable, Lin Yuhu will not be merciful because of it. When Nangong Xiong rushed in front of him, Lin Yuhu waved the iron halberd in his left hand, and the crescent blade on that iron halberd slashed across Nangong Xiong's neck, leaving a blood stain. And Nangong Xiong himself was completely frozen, his eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Yuhu in front of him unwillingly. In the end, he turned weakly from his horse's back.
"Kill--!" To Lin Yuhu's surprise, Nangong Xiong's death did not lead to Liu Jiajun's complete defeat. On the contrary, it aroused most of Liu's fighting spirit and even launched the final impact.
It's a pity that Liu Jiajun's opponent is Lin Yuhu. Regarding Liu Jiajun's final counterattack, Lin Yuhu did not have the slightest emotional fluctuations, but narrowed his eyes and shouted indifferently: "Kill!"
In Shangrao, Xinzhou, in the discussion palace of Jinglue Mansion on Jiangnan East Road, the atmosphere is very solemn. Xia Cheng sat on the top with a gloomy face, and on the left and right were a group of civil servants and generals under Xia Cheng. In the center of the discussion palace, there was a ragged soldier kneeling. It looked like he was no different from the victims who fled. .
"My lord! After General Xia died under the gun of an enemy general, General Yang Lin was also shot by an arrow by the enemy general who rushed to him later. The army fled, and the villain also fleeed with the army, and finally escaped his life by chance." Shaking, his face turned pale, and tremblingly, he said the scene outside Hanyang Military City that day.
When the soldier said that Yang Lin was shot, there was a cry of exclamation in the entire discussion palace, and Xia Cheng, who was sitting at the top, turned pale, his hands tightly holding the handrails on both sides, because Excessive force, and bursts of green veins.
A war commander jumped up from his chair with a sigh, but it was General Xia Jiajun Yang Huai, and saw him pointing at the soldier with a grim face and shouting: "Impossible! How could my eldest brother be killed in this battle?" Impossible. You bastard. You dare to curse my eldest brother?" While talking, Yang Huai rushed directly towards the soldier. Seeing his appearance, he was about to tear the soldier alive.
And the expression of Xia Lin sitting next to Yang Huai was not much better. The soldier just said that his brother Xia Wutao also died outside the Hanyang Military City. However, Xia Lin was more calm than Yang Huai, knowing that now, in front of an adult, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Instead, he shot and stopped Yang Huai with Xia Shanyue on the other side.
On the other side of the civil servants queue, Hu Zhuge's face was also pale, and he was the one who offered this plan. I originally thought that relying on this strategy, I would definitely be able to enter the core position of Xia Jiajun, but I didn't expect such a big mistake from the method that was supposed to be tenable. A general of the Xia family and two generals of the Xia army died in battle, and the basket that was stabbed out was a big deal. Thinking of this, Hu Zhuge couldn't help but secretly look at Xia Cheng, for fear that Xia Cheng would anger him.
Xia Cheng's expression changed several times, and finally took a deep breath, before he shouted in a deep voice: "Brother Huai. Hugh has to go on fooling around. Yang Lin's death, I am equally sad, but you are a real man. What? If you are a man, you should calm down and find a way to avenge Yang Lin. What's the use of such a foolishness?"
I really want to say that I am sad, I am afraid that Xia Cheng will not be much less than Yang Huai. As his right-hand man, Yang Lin's help to Xia Cheng can be said to be unmatched. When Xia Cheng had just started something, without Yang Lin's help, he would not be able to achieve his current hegemony. Moreover, Yang Lin was also one of the few martial arts masters under Xia Cheng's account. He was originally much worse than Song Jun in this respect. Now that Yang Lin has been damaged, the impact on Xia Cheng's power can be said to be very huge.
However, Xia Cheng also knew that he must not be dazzled by anger now. On the contrary, the more at this time, the more he must remain calm, which is necessary for his current position. Forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, Xia Cheng cast a sullen face, turned his head and asked Zhang Huaxuan on the left: "Zhang Huaxuan, how do you think about this?"
Zhang Huaxuan's expression was not very good either. Although Hu Zhuge was the one who contributed to this plan, he also agreed to Hu Zhuge's plan at the time. And leaving aside the issue of responsibility, Yang Lin's death had a huge impact on Xia Jiajun. If there is no way to restore the situation, Xia Cheng's development in the past few years will probably be wasted.
Zhang Huaxuan thought for a moment, and then said to Xia Cheng: "From what the soldier said, the subordinates judged that the general of the Song Army who suddenly appeared in the Hanyang Army City must be Zhao Yun. But he did not expect that Song Emperor Zhao Zhen Zhao Yun was even called back from the border of the Golden Army, and he still rushed for thousands of miles. From this point of view, I am afraid that we have been caught in the calculations of Song Emperor Zhao Zhen from the beginning."
Zhang Huaxuan is still kind, and these words can be regarded as an excuse for Hu Zhuge. Hearing Zhang Huaxuan's words, Hu Zhuge's expression in the back is also much better. However, Xia Cheng now does not have the intention to pursue the issue of responsibility. Instead, he is thinking about what Zhang Huaxuan said, and said in a deep voice: "If it is really Zhao Yun, wouldn't it be time for the Jinbing border to be in Hebei? The soldiers unite and move to Hebei Road?"
Xia Cheng has been thinking about it for a long time to unite with the Jinbing and leave the Jiangnan to occupy the Jin-Song border to establish his own territory. If the border of the Jinbing occupied area can be taken down, Xia Cheng with Jinren as the backing means that he will have less worries and can concentrate on dealing with the Song Army.
"I'm afraid it won't work." Zhang Huaxuan shook his head and said: "Although Zhao Yun is not at the border of the Jinbing occupied area, you must not forget that on the border of the Jinbing occupied area on Hebei Road, in addition to the Third Route Army of the Yue Fei Army, there are also There are people from Guan Tianxia and Zhang Xiao on the east of Hebei Road."
"Aside from the Yue Fei army in the middle and west of Hebei Road, Guan Tianxia in the east of Hebei Road is very powerful. This person is not much inferior to Zhao Yun. Although Zhang Xiao is young, he is constantly intriguing and difficult to deal with. Now Song Emperor Zhao Zhen’s army was assembled in the Nan'an Army, not far from Xinzhou. If we rush northward, whether we can win the border of the Jinbing occupied area is only a matter of two. Song Emperor Zhao Zhen will definitely send troops to attack Xinzhou immediately after receiving the news. This is where the adult’s foundation lies. If Xinzhou is seized, the adult will be like a duckweed without roots even if he takes the border of the Golden Soldier-occupied area."
"Uh." Zhang Huaxuan's words were true, and Xia Cheng was too speechless, but Yang Huai on the other side couldn't help it, and even shouted: "My lord. The final general is petitioning. I would like to lead the elite soldiers to attack the Hanyang Army." Naturally, Yang Huai's remarks weren't any deliberate thoughts. He wanted to avenge Yang Lin.
Regarding Yang Huai’s volition, Xia Cheng would naturally not agree, waved his hand and said, "Brother Huai must not be impulsive. I have my own arrangements for this. Zhang Huaxuan, since it is not feasible for the Jinbing to occupy the border, what shall we do next? What about doing it? You can't just do nothing like this, right?"
Zhang Huaxuan shook his head and said: "Naturally, you can't do nothing. But in the current situation, it is probably impossible for Liu Tong to block the attack of Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's army. When Liu Jiajun is destroyed, the Song army is getting stronger and stronger. It is very likely to mention that the victorious division will march on Fujian Road or Xinzhou. At that time, the border of the Jinbing occupied area will send troops to the south, even if the adults and Gao’an join forces, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop the general trend. , The subordinates thought that there was only one way for the adults to choose, so they would do their best to attack the Liu Jiajun territory south. Take the first step and take the Meizhou and other places to expand the strength of the adults."
"Attack Liu Jiajun?" Xia Cheng's eyes lit up, but he was puzzled again. It was not that Xia Cheng could not bear to deviate from the agreement with Liu Tong, but was a little worried. He immediately said, "Is this appropriate? We attacked Nan'an last time. The army, because Song Emperor Zhao Zhen only sent Wang Hu’s vanguard army. But now in the Nan'an Army, there is Song Emperor Zhao Zhen’s main force. If we rush to send troops, then Song Emperor Zhao Zhen will immediately go to war with us ?"
"My lord." Before Zhang Huaxuan could answer, Zhang Sailiang on the side said: "From the point of righteousness, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen must not go to war with the adults. This time he attacked Liu Tong, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen borrowed to avenge the first emperor. As an excuse, all the faults of murdering the first emperor were planted on Liu Tong's head. But the adults were the first to issue corrective edicts, and belonged to the one who attacked Liu Tong. Before General Yang Lin sent troops to the Hanyang Army, he did not raise his flag to expose Even if Song Emperor Zhao Zhen knows the identity of General Yang Lin. The adults will not admit it, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen has no way to prove that the adults provoke the military. If the adults send troops to fight against Liu Tong, in accordance with God's will, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen sent troops in the name of Zhao Gou, how could he provoke military affairs to adults first
"Furthermore, Jin Guo is now under great pressure on Zhao Zhen. Most of Zhao Zhen's army has confronted the Jin people in the north. For several years, Jin Guo has temporarily recuperated and recruited troops to prepare for a battle, instead of fighting Zhao Zhen. So, Qi The kingdom and all the princes were defeated by Zhao Zhen. Jin Guo now has a decisive battle with Zhao Zhen sooner or later. Zhao Zhen is going to deal with us at this time. Is he not afraid that Jin Ren suddenly launches an attack and is caught off guard?"
Zhang Sailiang’s explanation also meant that Xia Cheng couldn’t help nodding, but he still hesitated, saying: “You said before, your lips are dead and your teeth are cold. If Liu Tong is destroyed, we can’t resist the Song army’s offensive? Why now You persuaded me to send troops to attack Liu Tong again?"
Hearing Xia Cheng’s question, Zhang Huaxuan and others all smiled bitterly at each other, and Zhang Sailiang shook his head and said, “Now and then, now. The current situation is obviously unable to keep Liu Tong. Both are wrong. If the elders are not allowed to increase their strength in a short period of time, they will still have the power to fight against the Song Army in the future."
With what Zhang Sailiang said, Xia Cheng finally understood everything. Before, there was still a glimmer of hope to keep Liu Tong, so naturally he had to find a way to help Liu Tong. But now Liu Tong couldn't keep it. Instead of letting the Song army annex a large amount of land south of the Nan'an Army, expanding the strength of the Song army, and cheapening Zhao Zhen, it is better to take the first place in Meizhou and other places to strengthen his own strength. Xia Cheng is not the kind of person who sticks to the rules. Naturally, he will not be bound by those so-called covenants. Finally, he shouted in a deep voice: "Wang Kang, Xia Shanyue, Lin Tao."
Hearing Xia Cheng shouting his own name, Wang Kang, Xia Shanyue and Lin Tao immediately stood up from their seats, stood out and bowed to Xia Cheng, shouting in unison: "The end is here."
"I allocated 10,000 elite soldiers to you to attack the Nan'an Army. Remember! You can't directly conflict with the soldiers and horses of the Song Army. Just take the Liu Jiajun city first." Xia Cheng explained carefully. In fact, Yang Huai is also suitable for this time. The commander who sent troops, but now he hates the Song Army's bones. If he is the commander, maybe they will not be able to help but go to war with the Song Army. This was not what Xia Cheng wanted, so Xia Cheng chose these three instead.
Wang Kang is currently the highest martial artist under Xia Cheng. Although he is a bit reckless, he is a good player to charge and defend himself. Coupled with the wise general Lin Tao, it can just complement the weakness of Wang Kang's lack of wisdom. As for adding a Xia Shanyue, it was Xia Cheng's habit. When the army sets off, it must be equipped with a general of the Xia family. As far as Xia Cheng is concerned, only the generals of his family are Xia Cheng's own. If there are no family members in the army, Xia Cheng is not at ease.
"My lord, please rest assured. The final will not be insulting." After the three of Wang Kang took the order, they shouted in unison. When Wang Kang was about to step forward to accept Xia Cheng's military order, a voice suddenly rang and said: "Father, my child is willing to go together."
Hearing this voice, everyone turned their gazes aside, and saw a burly man standing up. From the looks of it, this man was only in his early seventeen or eighteen years old, but his face was covered with withered yellow. Beard. As soon as Xia Cheng saw this person, the gloomy face before showed a trace of relief. This person was Xia Cheng's son Xia.
Xia Cheng has five sons. Among them, Xia Ziteng has already been confirmed as the elder son, and he is naturally the successor of Xia Cheng's great cause in name. Moreover, Xia Ziteng, whether he is Wenzhi or Wugong, has quite the inheritance of Xia Cheng, and is deeply supported by the Xia family.
And apart from Xia Ziteng, what Xia Cheng likes most is Xia Ting. Xia Ting has been fond of dancing guns and sticks since he was a child, and Xia Ting has followed Yang Lin to learn martial arts and art of war since he was a child, and his relationship with Yang Lin is not shallow. Now that Yang Lin died in battle, Xia Ting was also suffocating in his heart, wanting to avenge Yang Lin.
"Ting'er." Xia Ting stood up to ask for a fight, and Xia Ziteng, who was sitting in Xia Ting's upper hand, frowned, and shouted at Xia Ting: "It's important, you can't mess around. Everything is still subject to his father's arrangements."
Although Xia Ziteng knew that Xia Ting would not fight for the position of the eldest son, it was difficult to guarantee that Xia Ting would not threaten his status because of his merits, so Xia Ziteng could not just watch Xia Ting make great achievements.
However, Xia Cheng didn't seem to pay any attention to what he meant. Instead, he said to Xia Ting happily: "Ting'er. You have this heart, I am very happy. But this trip to the Nan'an Army is no more than an ordinary battle. Besides, I still have it. There are other tasks that you need to complete. If the Nan'an Army’s battle does not reach our pre-determined goal, then the Song Army is likely to send the Golden Soldiers to occupy the border of the area, Guan Tianxia, and attack us. So I want to allocate one to you. Support your troops and go to Huizhou to guard against the army that controls the world going south. This task is extremely important, are you confident to complete it?"
Although Xia Cheng did not allow himself to participate in the battle for the southward, but in addition, he arranged a task for himself. Xia Ting was not dissatisfied. Dang even fisted at Xia Cheng and shouted: "Father, please rest assured. We will defend Huizhou and not let him. The enemy can take advantage of it."
"Yeah." After hearing Xia Ting's words, Xia Cheng smiled for the first time today, stroked his beard, nodded and said: "I have a yellow beard, I have no worries. Okay, everything will follow this plan. No more objections." After speaking, Xia Cheng stood up, glanced at Xia Ziteng and Xia Pi, then turned and left the discussion palace.
