Chapter 2974 Attacking Cangzhou
Song Yuchan saw Song Gongming in the coach's tent, and immediately reported the situation of Daming Mansion.
Song Gongming frowned when he heard that, he slapped the table and cursed, "Northern Liao Tartars are really insane. Could it be that they really treat me, Da Song, as a fat sheep and let them slaughter them?"
Song Yuchan said, "Daming Mansion is currently empty of troops, and the main force has all come to the front line of our Gaotang Prefecture. If the Beiliao people attack Yanmen Pass, this pass will be broken. Once the Beiliao people enter the pass, Daming Mansion and even The people of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun will surely be caught in the flames of war."
Standing behind her, Shi Xiu knelt down suddenly, and said to Song Gongming, "Please, Commander, save the people outside the pass."
Song Gongming raised his eyebrows to look at him, and asked Song Yuchan, "Qingdou, who is this hero?"
"His name is Shi Xiu. He is the third eldest child in the family. He is known as Desperate Saburo. He is here to take refuge with his father!"
Song Yuchan told Song Gongming about the Hulao prison and Shi Xiu's life experience.
Song Gongming stood up and went to help Shi Xiudao himself, "It turned out that it was all caused by the Northern Liao Tartars. Don't worry, strong man. You will work under my account first. When our army defeats the imperial army, we will immediately send troops to the north , to avenge the North Liao people."
"Thank you, handsome!"
Shi Xiu nodded, and solemnly said to Song Gong, "Shi Xiu will be the saddle horse and serve for the commander in the future. If there is a second heart, the sky will be struck by lightning."
"well!"
Song Gongming nodded happily, patted him on the shoulder and called for the sergeant to come up, and asked him to take Shi Xiu to the army to report for duty.
As soon as the three of Song Yuchan came back, Song Gongming assigned them a new task.
This Lu Junyi led the newly formed Qilin Army to take Cangzhou just now, and the outer areas have been cleared, but there are still [-] to [-] troops stationed in the city of Cangzhou.
The [-] to [-] soldiers and horses alone can't really play a big role.
But this city of Cangzhou is famous for its strong folk customs, and everyone practices martial arts.
The official army organized these common people together to resist the rebels, and it was quite difficult to take down the entire city.
The soldiers and horses led by Lu Junyi were originally from cavalry.
Cavalry is good at mobile warfare, not suitable for siege.
If the city is not captured immediately, not only will the previous hard work be in vain, but if the imperial army returns to rescue, they will attack from both sides, and Lu Junyi will be in danger of fighting on two fronts.
After she, Yan Qing and Wu Song took the information about Cangzhou, in order to investigate the enemy's situation, they went out to Cangzhou on a golden eagle in the air.
Along the way, the mobilization of soldiers and horses from both sides could be seen clearly.
Song Yuchan looked down and saw the imperial soldiers and horses deployed outside Gaotang Prefecture, and couldn't help admiring, "Who will the imperial court appoint as the commander-in-chief this time? The deployment of this army formation is visible both internally and externally, with both offensive and defensive capabilities?"
Yan Qing looked at the information and said to her, "This time I went south to levy, the imperial court used General Hu Yanzhuo. He came from a famous family, and his ancestors followed Taizu to conquer the world. He is from a family of soldiers. This time he will be the chief general. Chenzhou Regiment's training envoy "Yumu General" Han Tao and Yingzhou Regiment's training envoy "Tianmu General" Peng Qi are the principal and deputy vanguards, all of whom are well-known figures.
"I can't complain."
Song Yuchan had never heard of Hu Yanzhuo's name, but he knew that he was very powerful based on his identity.
"Then who is the guard in Cangzhou?"
Yan Qing looked at the information and said, "They are also people who have been famous for a long time. The chief general Qin Ming, because of his violent personality, is called Thunderbolt. The deputy general Huang Xin, known as Zhen Sanshan, is Qin Ming's apprentice. The archer Hua Rong is superb in his archery skills and is said to be able to easily take the head of a person ten miles away with a magic bow."
Song Yuchan said, "It's no wonder that Lord Yan is so capable, but he encountered such great obstacles in Cangzhou."
Wu Song was eager to try, "In terms of archery, I would like to compete with this Hua Rong."
Yan Qing said, "This Hua Rong's master, known as the Armenian Immortal, is also a reclusive expert. When Brother Wu met him, he felt a little tit-for-tat."
Song Yuchan smiled and said, "Who says it's not? Brother Wu's master is called Iron Arm Fairy, and this Hua Rong's master is called Arm Arm Fairy. Just the name alone means that there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors."
Wu Song nodded, looking forward to this opponent even more.
A group of people were familiar with Cangzhou, and took a golden eagle to observe the enemy's situation all the way to the north, and found that soldiers and horses of the imperial court were also heading for Cangzhou.
Yan Qing pointed down and shouted, "Look, this army must be from the imperial court to support Cangzhou."
Wu Song analyzed, "According to the speed of the soldiers and horses below, they can reach the city of Cangzhou at the latest in three days."
Song Yuchan sighed, "It seems we are running out of time."
Both of them nodded to let the golden eagle speed up, and a golden phantom appeared in the air.
Under the city of Cangzhou, the Black Banner Army commanded by Lu Junyi is attacking the city fiercely.
Since they came lightly, they did not bring siege equipment.
The cavalry dismounted and changed into infantry to attack the city.
Under the fierce attack of Qin Ming, the guard of the city, the soldiers and horses attacking the city were seriously injured.
Seeing this, Lu Junyi had no choice but to let people retreat first.
Qin Ming held the command flag and laughed triumphantly on the city wall, "Duke Yan, you are also a descendant of a famous family, why bother to serve as a rebel and insult the prestige of your Lu family. This general advises you to retreat quickly, otherwise the soldiers who will be reinforced by the court As soon as the horse arrives, you will be filled with dumplings, and the whole army will be wiped out by then."
The general under Lu Junyi heard that his teeth were tight, and shouted muffledly, "Duke Yan, let's charge again!"
Lu Junyi sternly stopped them and said, "Forget it, we have already killed and injured a lot of brothers, and there can be no more casualties. The purpose of blocking the imperial court's supplies this time has been achieved. Even if Cangzhou cannot be taken, as long as we can retreat completely, it will be a great achievement." It's a pity that I didn't think carefully and only brought cavalry over before I set off. Otherwise, how could it be my turn to be rampant."
The other generals from all walks of life sighed, and their original intention was to win this great achievement and gain a firm foothold in the rebel army.
It's good now, he returned in vain, and made people laugh for no reason.
When they were in distress, a golden light streaked down from the sky.
Everyone was so startled that they drew out their swords one after another, and shouted at the person who came, "Who is making trouble?"
The golden light fell, revealing a giant golden eagle more than three meters high.
Song Yuchan, Yan Qing and Wu Song jumped down from the top and smiled with Lu Junyi, "Uncle Lu, we are here to help you."
"Father!"
When Yan Qing saw Lu Junyi, she shouted excitedly at the same time, which was totally different from her usual restraint.
Lu Junyi waved his hands happily and shouted, "Our own people are all our own people!"
He immediately went over and hugged his son heavily.
Seeing the three of Yanqing approaching, his haggard face became more energetic.
A group of people entered the military account, and the deputy general briefly introduced the current situation.
Everyone raised their eyebrows when they heard this, for the situation on the front line of the secret passage was indeed not optimistic.
In the battle of the siege, Lu Junyi's Qilin army suffered tens of thousands of casualties.
On the one hand, it was because these people were improvised. Although they were all descendants of the Qilin Army, they had all kinds of occupations before, and they had not experienced the experience of war.
On the one hand, the guards of Cangzhou City are really powerful, and there are sky thunder cannons built by Mohist disciples on the city walls.
As soon as the fire was fired, the sound of the cannon rumbled like thunder.
The shell exploded in the air, causing many casualties.
Many soldiers of the Qilin Army died under this kind of weapon.
