The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

Chapter 197 The scapegoat Zhao Huan

Those high-level human beings who chose to commit suicide were okay, but those high-level officials who had completely lost their mentality and began to use the last rights in their hands to enjoy wantonly caused many civilians who had finally escaped the clutches of the invaders from another world to fall into hell again. among.

As a result, the order of the entire real world began to collapse rapidly.

As a member of the government, Zuo Yu was the first to notice this change, so he asked his boss Ye Tianlong for instructions if he should take the opportunity to take in some desperate people.

Ye Tianlong naturally chose to agree to this. After all, he was lacking such highly educated talents as Deep Blue Star! Even an ordinary civilian from Deep Blue Star can at least become a primary school teacher with him, a high-level intellectual talent!

However, in order to prevent these guys from causing trouble after they came over, Ye Tianlong also asked Zuo Yu to select the refugees first and directly eliminate those guys who were obviously not good people. As for everyone else, they must sign an agreement before they can be brought to Calradia.

The content of this agreement is also very simple, that is, the people in the real world must obey the command of Ye Tianlong, the emperor of the Qinglong Empire, before repelling the invaders from other worlds and regaining the Deep Blue Star, and are not allowed to go outside the Qinglong Empire. Secretly establish other organizations and do their own thing.

Even if Ye Tianlong had such a request, in just one week, more than 700,000 people chose to sign the agreement and take refuge in his Qinglong Empire.

At this time, Ye Tianlong had also completed the initial re-equipment of his troops and was preparing to go to the world of Water Margin to resist the invasion of the Jin people.

When Ye Tianlong sent people to visit the masters in the Water Margin world before, he also asked those men to use the names of Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and others to perform chivalrous acts in various places, robbing the rich and giving to the poor. So now the reputations of Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and others in the Water Margin world are very big in the Green Forest, and at the same time, the reputation of the Qinglong Empire has also spread.

Ye Tianlong fabricated the origin of the Qinglong Empire for himself. It was a country established by overseas Han people. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there were constant wars. Therefore, some Han people went overseas to escape the wars. In the end, they drifted for more than half a year and found a continent. A nation was founded there.

And just when Ye Tianlong began to gather troops and prepare to send troops to the Water Margin world, a fierce battle was breaking out on the northwest border of the Song Dynasty in that world.

The two sides in this battle were the official army of the Song Dynasty and the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers of the Liao Kingdom.

The Liao Kingdom was beaten by the Jin army and fled in panic, and all its territory was lost. In order to survive, these defeated Liao soldiers prepared to come to the Song Kingdom to seize some territory and survive.

It’s no wonder that the people of the Liao State dared to attack the Song State after reaching this point. The main reason is that the Song State has always been low in force due to its emphasis on civility and restraint of military force. Not only was the previous Liao State able to bully it, but Even Xixia, Tubo, Dali and even Vietnam can come to the Song Dynasty to fight the autumn breeze.

Over time, the Song Dynasty was regarded as a soft persimmon by the surrounding countries. This is why the Khitans were beaten by the Jin people until they completely lost their hometown and still dared to attack the Song Dynasty.

It's a coincidence that not long ago, Song Huizong even wanted to contact the Jin people and attack the Liao Kingdom together with them!

Unfortunately, before the envoys he sent could reach agreement with the Jin people, the Jin people had already wiped out the seemingly powerful Liao Kingdom.

However, because he wanted to attack the Liao Kingdom with the Jin people, an army of hundreds of thousands was also led by Tong Guan. It was assembled at the northwest border of the Song Dynasty early and was ready to go.

Now, although these soldiers and horses have not had time to participate in the battle of cutting and curing, they can be used as a force to resist the invasion of the remaining soldiers of the Liao Kingdom.

Logically speaking, Tong Guan's troops had more than 600,000 troops. As long as they had to stick to the city obediently, then the remaining 30,000 Liao soldiers would not be able to cause any trouble.

But Tong Guan didn't. The eunuch, who had the ambition to be king, chose to go out of the city and fight the Liao people in the wild, relying on his large number of soldiers.

At this time, the battle between the two sides has reached a fever pitch. It can be found that although the Song side has more troops, most of the soldiers are poorly equipped and have low morale. After a fierce battle with the enemy for a while, many soldiers began to draw arrows. Water, each one is only a few steps away from the enemy! He stopped, waved his weapons randomly, and shouted, making it look like a fierce battle with the enemy was going on.

The Liao people soon saw the bluff of the Song soldiers on the opposite side. They had already risked everything and soon launched a charge towards the enemy.

You must know that these Liao soldiers who were able to escape from the Jin people were all cavalry. After all, it was impossible for infantry with relatively low mobility to escape from the Jin people who were aggressive.

Once the more than 30,000 Liao cavalry were able to launch a charge with all their strength, the lethality would be extremely terrifying. The frontline Song soldiers who had originally faked a fight with the Liao soldiers were quickly routed.

Tong Guan, who was watching the battle from the rear, quickly dispatched reinforcements upon seeing this. The reinforcements he sent were also the few cavalry troops from the Song Dynasty. The number is more than 20,000.

However, most of these Song cavalry were only capable of riding and shooting, and did not have the courage to engage in close combat with the enemy cavalry.

So not long after the 20,000 Song cavalry were sent out by Tong Guan, they were easily repelled by the Liao cavalry.

Then the Song cavalry also began to collapse, and the Song heavy infantry arrayed in the rear were quickly rushed into chaos, and then a large number of archers and crossbowmen also suffered.

You must know that the reason why the Song Dynasty was able to defend half of the country in those years was largely due to the strong bows and crossbows. At this time, the crossbowmen were disrupted by the cavalry, and the Liao cavalry were even more Without any scruples, one by one brandished weapons and rode horses to charge at full speed, leaving a scarlet road full of blood and minced meat behind them.

Tong Guan, who was originally full of confidence in this battle, was completely dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

In the end, a group of soldiers beside him forcibly dragged him away from the battlefield. When the other Song soldiers saw that the handsome flag representing Tong Guan had been withdrawn, they naturally ran faster one by one. The Liao cavalry in the rear became even more excited in their pursuit.

This pursuit battle lasted for most of the day. Of the 600,000 Song troops, about 150,000 were killed on the spot, and another 200,000 were captured. In addition, a large number of soldiers fled and disappeared. In the end, less than 100,000 soldiers were left. Ten thousand soldiers and horses followed Tong Guan and retreated into Taiyuan City.

Although he still had 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, Tong Guan, whose courage had been broken by the Liao cavalry, no longer dared to attack. He even stayed in Taiyuan City for two days and felt unsafe, so he left the 100,000 defeated soldiers and fled. Back to Tokyo city.

The 100,000 troops and horses were handed over to Liu Yanqing's command, because this guy was the fastest at the time and kept the most troops and horses in his hands.

This can be regarded as a tradition of the Song Army. Generals who fight bravely often do not get a good end. On the contrary, those warlords who turn to Rufeng and know how to preserve their strength can often be promoted and make a fortune, even if they are defeated by the court. Dare to punish them too severely.

After the 30,000 Liao soldiers defeated the Song army in a desperate attempt, they were saved from danger. While quickly collecting the 200,000 Song prisoners of war, the 30,000 Liao soldiers also quickly captured those prisoners of war. The Song army armed themselves with a large number of infantry armor and other heavy armor. Many Liao soldiers even had both men and horses, and their own armor was also twice as heavy armor. This level of equipment completely reached the standard of the Iron Buddha Tu of the Jin Kingdom. .

Relying on these 30,000 heavy cavalry who were armed to the teeth, these remnant soldiers of the Liao Kingdom soon began to attack cities and territories in the Song Kingdom after their defeat.

Then three days later, they fought all the way to Taiyuan City. Liu Yanqing did not dare to confront the Liao soldiers with high morale. After leaving tens of thousands of soldiers and horses as cannon fodder to delay the Liao soldiers, he took several of his subordinates. Thousands of soldiers and horses fled.

By the time Ye Tianlong led an army of 500,000 to the Water Margin world, they all heard that the remnant soldiers of the Liao Kingdom had almost reached the gates of Tokyo as they were in uninhabited territory.

And Song Huizong did not abdicate directly as Ye Tianlong expected, and then passed the throne to Prince Zhao Huan. He asked Gao Qiu to escape to Shuzhong with thousands of elite Forbidden Army soldiers who had some fighting power.

Faced with his father's irresponsible behavior, Zhao Huan was numb. After all, his father had always favored the third child, Zhao Kai! As for the prince, he was suppressed at every turn, which resulted in him suddenly ascending to power. He had no team of his own at all. It could be said that he had no troops and no generals. How could he resist the invasion of the Liao people?

Fortunately, Ye Tianlong came with his troops at this time. He would not sit back and watch the Liao soldiers rush into Tokyo City. After all, the foolish emperor and treacherous ministers of the Song Dynasty were not good things, but the people in Tokyo City were innocent!

Hurrying slowly, Ye Tianlong finally led his army to meet the Liao soldiers under the walls of Tokyo.

What surprised Ye Tianlong was that the size of the Liao soldiers seemed to have expanded again. It looked like there were at least 700,000 or 800,000 troops. It seemed that they were not only conquering cities and territories, but also constantly recruiting prisoners of the Song army. Otherwise, their hometown They have all been occupied, and it is impossible for the Liao people to expand their military strength to the current level in such a short period of time without subsequent sources of troops.

However, although the enemy had a large number of troops, Ye Tianlong did not pay much attention to this group of Liao soldiers. After all, these guys themselves were a group of defeated soldiers, and their core combat strength was the tens of thousands of Liao cavalry. As long as they The tens of thousands of Liao heavy cavalry were wiped out, and the hundreds of thousands of troops were no longer a threat.

In Ye Tianlong's mind, the real enemy in the Water Margin world is the golden soldiers. After all, these golden soldiers were very powerful in history. Now they seem to have received the help of evil spirits, and their combat power is likely to be greater than in history. Even stronger, I don't know if his army, which can no longer use firearms, can compete with these golden soldiers.

Ye Tianlong did not take the hundreds of thousands of Liao troops seriously, but Zhao Huan, who was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Liao troops in the city, was panicked. Later, when he saw hundreds of thousands more unidentified soldiers coming, After the army, his mental arithmetic was completely cold.

At this time, he had to admire his father's keen intuition about danger. The other party must have foreseen that Tokyo City could not be defended early, so he simply slipped away to Shu, leaving him as the prince behind. Be a scapegoat here.
