Chapter 286 Visit the Frontline

With the destruction of the Liangshan Army stationed in the West Lake, Peng You began to command the rebels to launch an attack on Lin'an City. At the head of Lin'an City, there were artillery funded by Liangshan and soldiers trained by Li Gong to use firearms, so that with the help of various firearms, the rebels were not broken.

However, the artillery captured by the rebels from Liang Shanshui Division has never been useful. It was not that they did not want to use them, but that Peng You found that the number of shells was too small, so he was ready to use the shells at the most critical time.

In addition, although the number of rebels is large, Peng You considered the existence of Liang Shan's army and was afraid of Liang Shan's retaliation, so he never did his best. The war turned into a tug-of-war.

At this time, Song Qing had already left Luoyang and personally came to Lin'an.

Although the Tong brothers have little contact with Song Qing, they are also senior figures. If Song Qing is compared to a towering tree, every Liangshan brother is his root deeply rooted in the soil, which can't be hurt.

At the same time, as Li Yu thought, Song Qing has not suffered such a big loss since Liang Shan sent troops. After receiving Li Go's report, Song Qing couldn't believe that Liang Shanshuishi was defeated and lost so miserably.

Song Qing knew that he could not go to the Battle of Lin'an.

Today, the total strength of the entire Liangshan regime under the leadership of Song Qing has exceeded one million, but most of them are deployed in the northwest and northern grasslands. The Central Plains is not without soldiers, but cannot be moved.

Now that the sailors are defeated in Lin'an, if the rebels take advantage of the situation to fight the Yangtze River, won't the north of the river also be in chaos? How to fight the battle ahead? Although this possibility is unlikely, Song Qing does not dare to make this bet.

Therefore, the rebels must be suppressed in Jiangbei. Even if they cannot be destroyed in Lin'an, they will never be allowed to be so arrogant again.

Li Jun was wrong, but through this incident, Song Qing knew that his fault was greater. He was still too smooth to correct the reason. He always felt that Liang Shan was invincible in the world, so he didn't pay attention to others at all.

And this arrogance is the biggest reason for this fiasco.

After the news came, Song Qing was determined to feel pain. He immediately issued an edict to the whole army, clarified his mistakes, and asked the whole army to take this as a warning, completely eliminate the paralysis and arrogant thoughts, and seriously fight every battle.

After doing this, Song Qing personally led 20,000 horse soldiers out of Luoyang.

There were 100,000 troops near Luoyang, but Song Qing could not take them all away. He could think of beheading, and others would not have imagined it. Although there were many passes around Luoyang, there must still be heavy troops to guard the capital.

Luoyang is based on Chen Dong and Dong Ping to ensure that there is no worries in the rear.

10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry among the 20,000 horses led by Song Qing. Because the Jiangnan River is not suitable for cavalry to fight, Song Qing ordered Dong Ping to select 10,000 infantry from 100,000 troops to deal with the rebels.

20,000 troops rushed to Jiangning Mansion, then crossed the Yangtze River there, and then killed Lin'an.

The difference between the army and Song Qing, everyone's head is covered with a white cloth.

From Tong Meng's bad news, Song Qing is dressed like this. If he doesn't kill the rebels and avenge Tong Meng, he will not take off the white cloth. After knowing the reason, the soldiers in the army also spontaneously learned.

This is a mourning army, an iron army, an invincible iron army.

When Song Qing's army was still on the road, the battle for Lin'an had entered a white-hot stage.

Li Gong hated that Zhao and Song's army did not rescue Tong Meng in time, so he turned a deaf ear to the rebel attack on the resettlement, but practiced fiercely every day.

He has received the news that Song Qing is coming, so he will use all his strength to avenge Tong Meng. The life and death of the Lin'an court has nothing to do with him.

After several trials and finding that Liangshan people had no intention of rescue, Peng You finally ordered the army to suppress the whole line in order to take Lin'an in the shortest time.

Peng You also heard the news that Song Qing personally led the troops to kill him. He was surprised and happy. If he could defeat Song Qing in a war, he would really become famous all over the world. At that time, he may do it.

On the other hand, he also knows that Song Qing has not been defeated since his debut, and from Liang Shanshui Army, he has already felt the elite of Liang Shan's army, so it is hard to say who will kill the two armies.

In order to deal with Song Qing, he must take Lin'an as soon as possible, so that he has the capital to fight to the death with Song Qing.

Under the tide-like attack of the rebels, Lin'an is like a small boat swaying in the wind and rain, as if it can be broken at any time, but it can always stand up at the last minute.

To say that Lin'an can stay to this extent, it must be said that it is completely relied on Zhao Zhen's extraordinary actions.

It turned out that Zhao Zhen took advantage of Liang Shan's defeat and suddenly took down Huang Qianshan, He Li and other corrupt officials in one fell swoop. At the same time, he confiscated their mansion and gave all their property to the soldiers in the city.

In addition, Zhao Zhen also announced that after repelling the rebels, he would reward the soldiers and civilians defending the city with the property in the palace. On the contrary, if they neglect their duty and are afraid of death, they will be executed on the spot, and even their families will be executed.

It is said that there must be a brave man under the reward, not to mention the continuous sitting order. So Zhao Zhen created a miracle with these sheep-like soldiers and civilians. Abruptly repelled the rebel attacks.

Compared with Zhao Huan and his Laozi Emperor Huizong, Prince Zhao Zhen is undoubtedly the most outstanding royal son of the Song Dynasty, but I don't know if he will have time to save his dynasty?

Soon, Song Qing led a large army to the Qiantang River and Liang Shanshui Division Camp. And the first thing he did when he arrived at the camp was to remove Li Yu's positions and be an ordinary soldier.

Li Gu had no complaints about this, but just asked him to kill the rebels and avenge the child.

The battle must be fought, but not now. After Song Qing drank Li Gan away, he personally took people to the riverside to pay tribute to Tong Meng and all the Liangshan soldiers who died in the battle.

At the memorial ceremony, Song Qing comforted the soldiers in the spirit of heaven with tears. He will definitely avenge this revenge.

Li Kui, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others have always been friends with these sailor generals. When they pay tribute to Tong Meng, they cry to death with Tong Wei. If it hadn't been for Song Qing, these brothers would have been able to kill people now.

As Song Qing's Wangqi rose high in the camp, the whole army seemed to have a soul. The spirit of killing has soared to the sky, and even the rebels who had been silently paying attention to Liangshan camp on the other side felt it.

After knowing the news of Song Qing's arrived, Peng You has been thinking about whether to continue this battle.

Lin'an's tenacity is something he didn't expect, and once Liang Shan meets the people in the city, he is bound to suffer from the enemy. At that time, not to mention winning, it is hard to say whether he can retreat completely.

But if you retreat without fighting a war, won't the world laugh at you? How can I lead this army?

After thinking about it, Peng You decided to send someone to talk to Song Qing first. If Song Qing was willing to give in and did not prevent him from attacking Lin'an, he would like to cross the river with Liang Shan and bow to Song Qing at the same time.

The messenger quickly came to Liangshan camp with Peng You's intention, but Song Qing didn't even see him. He only asked the messenger to bring a message to Peng You. If he didn't want to destroy it, he had to agree to two conditions.

First, hand over the murderer who killed Tong Meng.

Second, disband the army and go to Liangshan camp in person to plead guilty.

There is nothing else to talk about. Joke, without looking at your identity, after a few days of rebellion, defeating the officers and soldiers who can beat dogs several times, you really feel invincible? Are you qualified to negotiate with Boss Liangshan, who shocked the world?

After driving away the messengers of the rebels, Song Qing immediately beat the drums and raised the account and ordered the army to advance to the south bank. He led the army to watch the bustle. Although the rebels's strength was more than twice as good as their own, they had to have a try.

Now, the main battalions of the rebels are located in the southwest, and there are not many people because of Liang Shanshui Division facing the river in the north.

As Liangshan's army advanced into the south bank, a few rebels also withdrew one after another.

What's more unexpected is that when Song Qing's Wangqi appeared on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the defenders in Lin'an City suddenly cheered.

Some of the court generals sent by Zhao Chen to supervise the war sank their faces and stopped the military and civilians from strictly guarding their posts while flying to Zhao Chen.

Nowadays, few people in Lin'an City have gone to the emperor, and more people come to ask the prince how to do it. It seems that Zhao Huan no longer exists.

Zhao Zhen strictly prohibited all officials in the court from revealing any information to the emperor on the grounds of his father's poor health.

The Zhao and Song court in Lin'an had no decent ministers, and Zhao Zhen's iron fist won the support of the military, so Zhao Huan was invisibly overshadowed by his son.

There was no information about inviting Song Qing to enter in Lin'an City, and Song Qing did not want to enter. He knows Zhao Huan's incompetence, so it's better for them not to see each other, otherwise he doesn't know what to say to Zhao Huan.

Peng You obviously had no intention of starting a war immediately. He withdrew the people and horses who attacked the city, waited for the Liangshan army, recuperated himself and was ready to fight with Liangshan people and horses at any time.

The day passed quickly, and that night, Song Qing received a wire report from Lin'an City.

Zhao Zhen!

Looking at this unfamiliar name, Song Qing did not know whether to be happy or mourn for Zhao Huan. Once upon a time, he seemed to do the same to me. It was said that his son was still supported by him in the harem, but Song Qing believed that the old emperor of Huizong was afraid of becoming an immortal early.

But this is also good. I don't have any friendship with Zhao Zhen, and I don't have to feel guilty about attacking him in the future.

The next day, Song Qing ordered Lu Fang to lead 3,000 people to challenge the rebel camp, and he led a large army to respond in the rear and observe the combat effectiveness of the rebels.

Peng You was not willing to show weakness. He immediately sent General Zhang Yong to welcome him with 5,000 people, and he also took the brigade to respond in the back.

This was the first head-on confrontation between the two armies. Song Qing didn't notice anything, but Peng You and Zhao Zhen, who was watching the battle in the city, were a little nervous and excited.

Peng You is a ambivalence that he wants to fight but doesn't want to fight. Zhao Zhen hoped that the worse the fight between the two groups of traitors would be better. Anyway, there was nothing good.

The drums rumble and the horns are long. The war is on the verge of breaking out.
