Chapter 292 Opening the Door
Outside Huanzhou, Tang Longyan suddenly stopped the running horses, turned his head and shook the head of the city in the distance. Behind him, Long Qian saw him stop watching and immediately asked doubtfully, "Master, what's the matter? Do you want to stop marching?"
Tang Longyan waved his hand and said, "Nothing, it's just that I just sensed a trace of the fluctuation of mad thunder and Zhenqi. It must be a person of the white tiger family on the city building. However, this mad thunder true qi suddenly disappeared and there was no threat to us. Otherwise, even if I use eight levels of power, I will definitely kill that man here. "
At the head of the city, Xiao Rou looked anxiously at Yelu Fenghuo and asked, "Brother Fenghuo, what should I do? If he really kills, won't we be can't run away?"
Yelü Fenghuo pondered for a moment and finally said, "There't be helped. Since our plan has been completely broken by the other side, we can only do the last trick. Let Zhao Yanxin come here quickly. When our army retreats and the Song army comes, we will ask him to open the city gate to surrender. In this way, Pan Mei will definitely stop chasing our army because of her first merit. Our army can also escape part of it. And at that time, we will be able to carry out our last plan.
When Tang Longyan beat his opponent with 5,000 cavalry and had no power to fight back, the Liao army had to take back the troops back to the city in panic. Tang Longyan did not chase it arrogantly, but quietly waited for the arrival of the army outside the city. First of all, his cavalry was a field force, and he was not sure about the siege. In addition, he entered too deep. He has not thought of burying a large number of sophisticated troops for the range of enemy archers.
At the top of the city, Yelu Fenghuo sighed and seemed to be very disappointed and relieved. Xiao Rou saw two completely different expressions gathered on her face and couldn't help asking, "Brother Fenghuo, isn't they not entering the range of our army? This only shows that the other general is not reckless, and you Why do you need this expression?"
Yelü Fenghuo sighed: "I wanted to let the archers at the head of the city shoot his cavalry when his troops rushed over. At this time, I went up and down to him, and he occupied the disadvantage, so that I could gain some face. But he didn't rush up because he wanted to fight for military merit, so I didn't take advantage of him, so I'm more disappointed. However, if he is such a person and I can still lose to him, it only shows that we are not even as good as such generals. Now that he is as good as ever, it shows that we are not very weak, so I am relieved. It's getting late, Sister Rou. We're also going to prepare and implement our last plan. After saying that, the two of them went down to the city one after another.
Outside Huanzhou, Yang Ye has already led the large army and Tang Longyan's round. He saw that the number of Tang Longyan's team has hardly changed, and there is almost no less dragon cavalry. Even if he was injured, he just wrapped it at will and continued to fight. Immediately, Zhou Tianyi also took 2,000 people to round with Tang Longyan. Behind him, Qin Leiming and He Yanxin also returned to the team with 500 dragon cavalry.
Tang Longyan turned over and dismounted and patted everyone on the shoulder enthusiastically. Then, Tang Longyan held Yang Ye and said, "General, the troops led by his subordinates have defeated the 5,000 advance troops in Liao. At the same time, the two teams that have been ambushed have been destroyed one by one. At this time, they only have only one left to take advantage of this, and all of them are brought by their subordinates. It's a field force, so please ask the general to give the commander-in-chief that if the soldiers defending the city are stubborn, please let the siege force take down the city. After a pause, he whispered, "However, General Yang, although the scheme set by the people in the city is not difficult to see through, it is also quite a little tricky. Therefore, I expected that the defenders of the city will open the door to welcome our army into the city, but whether there is any fraud in it, we have to carefully observe it. I am worried that General Pan will be arrogant because of his achievements, and the precautions around him will be reduced. It's low, please pay attention to the general.
Yang Ye nodded and said, "Mr. Tang does not pursue because of his slight advantage, but waits for the arrival of the large army. He is not proud of himself and minimizes the damage of the army. It is indeed commendable. Please wait a moment. I have to ask the commander for instructions. After saying that, Yang Ye quickly drove towards the commander's camp.
When he came to Pan Mei's tent, Yang Ye turned over and disemboed and was about to report to Pan Mei, but he saw the curtain of the big account lifted. Pan Mei came out from it. When he saw Yang Ye rushing, he asked, "What does General Yang need to report like me urgently?"
Yang Ye immediately held his fist and said, "I told the marsage that the leading troops of the Liaoning army had been broken, and the surprise troops that surrounded my middle were also defeated and fled, and most of the Liao army that raided our army's food and fodder on the back road were also broken. At this time, the vanguard of our army was waiting for the marshal to fall in front of the city."
Pan Mei couldn't help but be happy. He thought that the troops sent by Yang Ye would definitely take the city with the collapsed army. At that time, all the military achievements would belong to Yang Ye alone, which was naturally not good for him. At this time, he heard that Yang Ye defeated the Liao army. At this time, there were only some weak soldiers left in the city, and he only needed to send troops to attack. The city troops attacked a little, and the city was at his fingertips, which was simply a great bargain.
At this moment, a messenger suddenly ran over and held his fist to Pan Mei and said, "General, the gate of Huanzhou City suddenly opened, and all the officials in the city came out. The first person claimed to be Zhao Yanxin, the assassin of Huanzhou, saying that the Liaoning army has gone, and I hereby open the gate to welcome General Pan's entry into the city!"
Hearing this, the soldiers beside Pan Mei held their fists to congratulate Pan Mei: "Congratulations on pulling out a city and opening up the territory for the Song Dynasty. This is the first time since the emperor ascended the throne today. It is really a great contribution. So it seems that under the leadership of the general, our Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition will be invincible and invincible. !"
Surrender in Kaesong! Pan Mei couldn't help laughing. After a while, he said excitedly, "Okay! I didn't expect that my West Road army would make great achievements so quickly and win the first place for my Song Dynasty to win a state. Come on, all the generals entered the city with my commander and have a big banquet tonight. I will not be drunk with you!"
He is proud of his achievements and never mentioned that Brother Tang worked hard for you before the battle, and he did not care about the soldiers who fought on the battlefield. Yang Ye couldn't help but be disappointed when he saw the praise between the generals. He didn't want to see such a scene, so he immediately turned around and left.
In a short time, Pan Mei slowly walked towards Zhao Yanxin, who had stood outside the gate for a long time under the protection of dozens of personal guards. He thought that he had to go to the spirit of the other party and had to let the other party stand under the city for a long time to wait for his arrival. It took almost an hour to take over the city. Of course, here Within an hour, he had already made a book and quickly handed it to the emperor to show that his army on the West Road had lived up to the emperor's trust and won the first place.
When Zhao Yanxin saw Pan Mei slowly approaching, he was about to present his hands to the Huanzhou * engraving and bowed his head and said, "The sinner is waiting for General Pan to arrive. The guilty minister guarded the city for the Liao people, which was not his original intention. It was the Liao people who forced each other with their family's lives. At this time, he heard that General Pan was benevolent and led the army bravely. At this time, the Liao people had left and asked General Pan to return the city to Song, and the guilty minister was willing to be punished.
Pan Mei quickly helped Zhao Yanxin up and smiled, "Lord Zhao has always been clear about things. Why doesn't I know? Guarding the city for the Liao people was just that Lord Zhao was forced to act. At this time, the army and horses of the Song Dynasty had arrived, and Lord Zhao immediately opened the door and surrendered. This is a great achievement. What is the crime? I hope Lord Zhao will continue to manage Huanzhou and lay a solid backing for our army!"
Although the two of them said these polite words here, everyone knew that none of the other's words were true. If Zhao Yanxin really wanted to sacrifice the city, Yang Ye's Yang's army had already chased the Liao people here. At that time, there were still archers at the head of the city to force Yang Ye to retreat. If he really wanted to return to the city, the city would have been under the control of the Song Dynasty. Pan Mei understands that although he can take over the city at any time, he and his entourage don't know much about everything in the city. Instead of letting Pan Mei's own men explore slowly, it is better for his original team to start. They only need to secretly replace some important positions and insert eyeliner to ensure safety.
After saying these polite words, Zhao Yanxin hurriedly smiled at Pan Mei and said, "The general has been marching in a hurry these days. He has already been exhausted. Although the city of Huanzhou is not big, he can still entertain you. His subordinates have already prepared several tables of wine and dishes. If the commander does not mind, we will sit in for a short break, and his subordinates will tell the incident in the city one by one. How about the general?"
"In this way, Lord Zhao will be bothered." Pan Mei held her fist and smiled, and then followed Zhao Yanxin into the city under the protection of a personal bodyguard. Subsequently, a few generals under Pan Mei and the large and small officials in Huanzhou City entered the city in turn. Only Yang Ye, Tang Longyan and other Yang Jiajun finally entered the city.
Entering the city, Tang Longyan asked Yang Ye in a low voice, "General Yang, you don't look well. Are you going to the party later?"
Yang Ye sighed and said, "Although I don't like what the general has done, as a deputy commander, I must attend this banquet, otherwise the general will definitely have more doubts about me."
Tang Longyan nodded and said, "I didn't want to attend such a banquet. Look at the people in this city. They were forced to collect food and be strong because of the war. At this time, they were already poor, but the history of Huanzhou was not moved. They still entertained us, not to mention the people here, even us. There are no more good soldiers. But since General Yang is here, I will act as your guard."
When the two came all the way to the banquet, everyone had already begun to eat and drink crazily. In the front, Pan Mei was talking and laughing with Zhao Yanxin. Seeing Yang Ye coming, Pan Mei hurriedly shouted to Yang Ye, "General Yang, come on, how can you miss such a delicious wine and delicious food? Sit down quickly."
Yang Ye nodded and sat down, but had no heart. At this time, he heard Zhao Yanxin report to Pan Mei: "Although Huanzhou City is small, there are still rations for 30,000 troops for a year." Hearing this, Yang Ye was suddenly stunned, because he found that Pan Mei was staring at him at this time!
