Chapter 391 A Thousand Riders Enter Yanjing City at Night

The sky was not yet clear, and countless eyes in Yanjing City were staring at the surroundings, and Da Song's spies spread all over the suburbs.

After a thorough investigation, a small group of people quietly touched the city. These days, the Jurchens are burning, killing and looting in the distance. They also know that there is a suspicion between the Song Dynasty and the Khitan people here, because the Liao Emperor assigned this territory to the Song Dynasty. people, but Yeluchun did not give it.

On the city tower, the Khitan people stared closely at the bottom of the city, and when they saw a figure, they fell into a bamboo basket that could only hold one person at a time.

Those who entered the city were Hu Yantong, who had just been promoted by Yang Lin as the commander of the Ma Jundu because of his bravery in the battle against Zhuozhou, and several of his personal soldiers.

After entering the city, the Khitan people on the tower led them to a large tent with brightly lit lights.

Seeing them coming in, Yelu Dashi got up and said, "Is Yang Lin ready?"

"Everything is ready over there, just waiting for you." Hu Yantong scratched his head and grinned.

Yelu Dashi took a look at this somewhat simple and honest general, and knew that he had a reason to laugh. Da Song effortlessly won the Yanjing City that he vowed to take when the country was founded.

Now it seems that Yang Lin has already arranged all these things and completed his goal step by step.

How much Yelu Dashi envied this treacherous minister. He had a huge dynasty to support him, and he made great achievements for the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Dashi thought to himself that he could not lose to Yang Lin in cultural relics, but he was depressed, and the emperor didn't trust him at all.

Suddenly, Yelu Dashi's heart moved, if he stood in the position of the traitor Xiao Fengxian, would he be able to display his ambitions as much as Yang Lin did?

It is said that Yang Lin flattered the monarch in the Song Dynasty, fought against dissidents, practiced favoritism, and was greedy for huge sums of money. But after several contacts, everything he did was harmless to the Song Dynasty.The more Yelu Dashi thought about it, the more frightened he became. If this person really had this vision, he would be stronger than himself at his age.

He closed his eyes and meditated, but Hu Yantong couldn't wait any longer, he thought to himself that this Khitan guy really doesn't care, there are tens of thousands of my brothers waiting outside, why are you so stunned here.

Ordinary people would probably wait at this time, but Hu Yantong is a straight man, and he is so sharp that he would scold Shangguan Han Shizhong at every turn, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "I said Dashi Linya, time is running out, let's stop talking , sooner rather than later."

The soldiers around Yelu Dashi glared angrily, wishing to kill the Song general who was disrespectful to Dashi Linya, but Yelu Dashi himself chuckled and said, "If that's the case, let's start." As soon as the words fell, he was indescribably lonely and desolate , even Hu Yantong felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Soon he led people to the city wall, took out a bamboo tube from his waist, lit the fuse, and a bunch of fireworks bloomed in the sky.

The huge stones and logs blocking the city gate were quickly moved away, the suspension bridge was lowered at the top of the city, and torches were thrown down from the top of the city like shooting stars, illuminating the way into the city.

A cavalry suddenly came from a distance, people like tigers, horses like dragons, rushing in without stopping, the sound of hoofs was like thunder, shaking the sky and the earth.

The Jurchen camp in the distance woke up, but it was too late.

Han Shizhong took the lead and rushed into the city of Yanjing, with endless pride in his heart.

After a hundred years of border pass, Pingfan finally fell back into our hands, which is a great achievement.The more Han Shizhong thought about it, the happier he was, urging his horses to move, already thinking about his future position in the Privy Council and the house price in Bianliang.

Wanyan Zonghan rode forward, facing the strong wind, his hair disheveled, watching the vision of Yanjing City.So many people touched the city of Yanjing, but I didn't even notice it. The sentries patrolling tonight could commit suicide.

It wasn't that the Jurchens weren't vigilant, it's just that the Song people came too suddenly. Han Shizhong led all the light cavalry. After seeing the signal, they galloped on horseback without any time to react.

"Zong Han, where did the Khitan barbarians get reinforcements?"

Wanyan Loushi sneered, "I'm afraid it's not Khitan soldiers."

"Yelu Dashi has surrendered to the Song Dynasty?" Yin Keshu asked in disbelief: "Yelü Dashi is still one of the few noble clans in Khitan. I didn't expect that he also surrendered to the Song Dynasty." Not only did he not believe it, even Yang Lin didn't believe it. A little dazed, this Yelu Dashi really knows the current affairs, and it seems that this may be his best way out.With this temperament, it's no wonder that after escaping to the Western Regions, he was able to establish another Xiliao, which is really something.

Everyone looked at Wanyan Zonghan, waiting for his order. Zonghan was riding on the horse, his face was illuminated by the fire, and he said: "In such a dark night, we are afraid that we will go up to stop them and be fooled by the Song people. These Nanman Zizi likes to use tricks and tricks the most, so it's better to be careful."

When the Jurchen generals heard this, they all nodded, only Wanyan Lou said: "Zonghan, we have suffered a lot from the Song people. The old emperor was ambushed by them twice in Yunzhou, and the former Zhuozhou city was also killed by them." I paid more than 1000 men in Sanmouke. Our sentry did not find them, which means that there is no Song people's most powerful infantry. The Khitan people have been worn down by us to the last breath. Let them go in at this time, and fight in the future. The city is struggling again."

"Give me 2000 people, and I will intercept and kill these Song people."

Wanyan Zonghan was moved by his words, nodded and said: "Be careful not to fall into an ambush."

Wanyan Loushi waved his hand, named several Jurchen Meng'an, and led more than 2000 elite cavalry to intercept the Song army entering the city.

There were not many Song troops entering the city, they were all light cavalry, and Han Shizhong frowned when he saw the sound of killing in the distance, and he said decisively: "The rear army retreats, scattered back to the camp, and the others follow me into the city! "

Everyone passed word of mouth and shouted loudly, and the cavalry behind them reined in their horses and fled in all directions.The team was cut off in the middle, and Han Shizhong's calculations were very accurate. After they entered the city, the hanging door was slowly pulled up, and the Jurchens were already in front of them.

The Khitan soldiers on the city tower shot wildly like venting their anger, all the materials in the city were no longer distressed, and they wished to shoot them all at once.

Wanyan Loushi pushed aside a random arrow, looked at Song Qi who was running away, and felt for the first time that the fleeing enemy army could be so irritating

These people escaped in a random manner, anyway, they ran towards the outside of Yanjing City, the farther the better.If you want to chase them, you don't know how to chase them. Except for the slow ones who were shot down, they were almost unscathed.

Wanyan Loushi let out an angry roar, and returned to Majin Camp, hating Song people more than Khitan in his heart.

Zong Han comforted him and said, "It doesn't matter if the city is Khitan or Song people, they can't stop our attack. The second king has come to his senses, and we will level the city in a few days."

Chapter 392 The Traitor Mistaken the Country and the Hero Died

After Han Shizhong entered the city, he immediately ordered his subordinates to occupy the gate towers of each key pass, and then went to see Yelu Dashi.

The city of Yanjing was dilapidated, and even at night, traces of various fires and stones could be clearly seen.

Han Shizhong didn't have the heart to feel sorry for the sky and the people, he went straight to Yelu Dashi's big tent under the guidance of the Khitan soldiers.

Taking over Yanjing City tonight, no one can take away the credit based on the relationship of Shaozai.

At this time, Yelu Dashi felt relieved. Anyway, this Nanjing is also Yanjing of the Great Song Dynasty.

If he can return to Khitan, the Yunzhou Datong Mansion is in the midst of employing people, and His Majesty may not behead himself.

Even if there is a slight chance, it's better than waiting to die here. As for the ten prefectures of Youyan, the Khitan's taxation center?The entire Khitan is about to fall, so how can we care about these things, at worst, we can just take it back when we become stronger.

Han Shizhong opened the curtain door of the big tent, came in and said with a smile: "Dashi Linya, you Jurchen defenders don't have to worry about defending the city. Take a good rest in the barracks. Tomorrow our army will be under the city, and then there will be Grain is gone."

"I didn't descend to the Song Dynasty. Did your Young Master Yang Lin ever go to Yunzhou?"

Han Shizhong cupped his fists toward the sky and said, "Young Zai is the Marshal of the Northland Army, Heishan Xuanfu Envoy in Hebei, Hebei, and Hebei. How can you leave Youyan lightly. Don't worry, Dashi Linya, our Shao Zai has sent people to go, and I believe there will be more people in the near future." The news came."

Yelu Dashi nodded, and said to his relatives: "The order is passed on, the whole army is in the camp here, and they are not allowed to go out and walk around at will, and they are not allowed to conflict with the Song army."

In the Song Army camp in the distance, Yang Lin stood in the watchtower, quietly waiting for news from Yanjing.

For Youyan, the status of Yanjing City is really too high, not only because of the thick walls and deep pools of the giant city, but more importantly, its radiating power to the land of Youyan.

It can be said that the real celebration will break out when the news of the occupation of Yanjing is sent back to the court.Even if Zhuozhou is not weaker than Yanjing, its status is still very different.

Suddenly, many scattered cavalry returned to the camp from all directions, and Yang Lin's heart suddenly tightened. Can he fail in entering a city?

"The thief is a rotten gambler and throws Han Wu, I know this guy is unreliable, if he ruins my big business, I must castrate him, Lu Qian, go down and ask what's going on!"

I have never heard Yang Lin lose his temper before, so Lu Qian hurried down, came up after a while, and said with a smile: "Sir, Han Shizhong has already gone in. At that time, Jurchen Tartars suddenly intercepted and killed him. Han Xuanshuai wanted to prevent the Tartars from following him into the city. So he cut off the army from the middle, and let the people behind him flee in all directions, and he entered the city with half the troops."
