Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

As the second heavy snow fell in Kaifeng City, Shaosheng's second year finally arrived.

"The Battle of Hehuang! I'm afraid it has already begun!"

Looking at the snowflakes outside the window, Fan Zheng's thoughts were wandering and he couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of the green pond in the west.

According to the court's plan, when the heavy snow falls around the winter solstice, the Song army will attack Qingtang and make a surprise attack on Hehuang.

Fan Zheng had already ordered the weapons supervisor to transport the cotton armor needed for the surprise attack and winter combat materials to Xihe City. Now Zhong Pu and Yao Xiong have already invaded the Hehuang land.

However, Kaifeng and Qingtang are thousands of miles apart, and there is heavy snow in the middle. If we want to get specific military information, we may have to wait until after the new year.

........................

In the six states of Xihe and on the banks of the Yellow River, the Song army gathered a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses.

"General Zhong! The ice on the Yellow River is thick enough to withstand men and horses crossing the river!" Lieutenant General Yao Xiong looked at the Yellow River, looking at the thick ice under his feet, and said with a hint of joy.

The Yellow River in Qingtang is naturally dangerous and the current flows quickly. Normally, a bridge is required to cross the river, and it is easy to be attacked by enemy troops halfway across the river. However, it is not without its shortcomings. In winter, the Yellow River will be covered with thick ice. , now the natural danger of the Yellow River will be smooth.

Zhong Pu laughed loudly and said: "Fan Taicheng's evil side has never been defeated. Without the natural barrier of the Yellow River, our army will win this battle."

Yao Xiong was also excited. The kidnapping horse he trained was Fan Zheng's evil recipe, so he was naturally very convinced of Fan Zheng's evil recipe.

"However, many soldiers have complained about going on expeditions in winter. After all, the Qingtang land is extremely cold in winter, and going out in the snow is a taboo for military strategists." Yao Xiong suddenly frowned.

The northwest is bitterly cold. The Song Dynasty defeated Xixia several times because of the severe cold weather. The Xixia was defeated without a fight. Whenever winter came, almost both sides would stop fighting. This was a tacit understanding between the Song Dynasty and Xia Dynasty.

Now the Song army suddenly sent troops in winter, allowing the soldiers to fight in the cold.

"Are you complaining?" Zhong Pu sneered and said, "Don't we and the soldiers not fight when the enemy invades in winter?"

"But our army has never had any experience in snow battles!" Yao Xiong said with a bitter smile.

Zhong Pu solemnly said: "Our army does not have it, so does the Qingtang army have it? Qingtang is a vast area with few people, and with the heavy snow blocking it, there is no time for rescue. In addition, our army has cotton armor to protect the body, which is enough to cope with the severe cold. Our army will definitely win this battle. Send an order to all the armies and ask them whether they want to be defeated and bleed in the summer or win in the winter due to the cold."

Following Zhong Pu's order, Zhong Pu's question quickly spread among the 20,000 troops.

"We are willing to win the cold winter!"

Soon a response from the army came from behind.

The Song army was already weak in force and had little chance of winning in frontal combat. This winter march also included cotton armor and other cold-proof items, which could not only keep warm but also had good protection capabilities, which were enough to adapt to winter operations.

When Zhong Pu saw that the Song army was shocked, he waved his hand and said: "The whole army is crossing the river!"

At that moment, following Zhong Pu's order, 20,000 troops immediately crossed the Yellow River and headed straight for the Hehuang Valley.

"Go down with the order, put on your kuei, march at full speed, and attack Longzhuhei City."

After setting foot on the Qingtang land, Zhong Pu immediately gave the order.

The army received the order and immediately went ahead with scouts, using their clairvoyance to clear the way, trying to avoid the large tribes in Qingtang, and went straight to Longzhuhei City, the important city of Qingtang.

When the Song army suddenly approached Longzhuheicheng, Qingtang did not react at all.

"Yes! Song Army!" The Qingtang garrison's heart felt cold, and he looked at the overwhelming Song Army in the snow outside the city with a look of horror.

They never expected that the Song army would suddenly appear and attack Qingtang in winter.

"The Song people betrayed their trust and attacked Qingtang. Blow the horn quickly and defend the city with all your strength!" The guard general reacted immediately and blew the horn for the enemy attack as soon as possible.

"late!"

Zhong Pu sneered.

Longzhu Heicheng is the city that the Song army is determined to win. With Longzhu Heicheng, the Song army has a foothold to attack Qingtang.

"Siege!"

At that moment, Zhong Pu waved his hand.

Twenty thousand Song troops rushed towards Longzhuhei City like a tide.

The Song army took the advantage of the surprise attack, coupled with its numerical advantage, not to mention that Longzhuhei City was just a small city. The Song army immediately fell in a battle, and some of the first soldiers attacked the city wall.

"The city is broken!"

Song Jun cheered! At that moment, they made great efforts to attack the city.

"Evil doctors have never failed in their efforts to rectify and correct evil." Zhong Pu breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Qingtang defenders had been prepared, the Song army would have paid several times the price, and the outcome would have been unpredictable. Now they have easily defeated Longzhu Black City.

Longzhu Heicheng was forced to retreat, and the Qingtang garrison's souls appeared in great numbers. He immediately led his trusted followers to break out of the encirclement.

The Song army suddenly betrayed its promise and attacked Qingtang. The only way he could redeem himself was to report the news to King Aligu as soon as possible.

As the Song army entered the city and the defenders escaped, Longzhuheicheng's resistance became weaker and weaker, and the Qingtang defenders laid down their weapons and surrendered.

"The general is incompetent and allowed the Qingtang guard to escape!" Zhong Pu had just entered Longzhu Black City when Yao Xiong, covered in blood, came in to plead guilty.

Yao Xiong was responsible for intercepting the fleeing Qingtang defenders. Although he severely wounded the fleeing Qingtang defenders, he allowed the Qingtang defenders to escape.

"It doesn't matter. We have captured Longzhu Black City. The purpose of the surprise attack has been achieved. It is impossible to hide the army anymore." Zhong Pu waved his hand.

There is only one chance for a surprise attack. Now that the Song Army has a foothold, it can then use the scattered fighter planes in Qingtang in winter to defeat them one by one.

"You and I will set off immediately, divide our forces and sweep across the Qingtang tribes on both sides of the Huangshui River, and finally join forces to attack Qingtang City." Zhong Pu said solemnly.

The Hehuang Valley is the core of the Qingtang. Once the Qingtang tribes in the Hehuang Valley are broken, the strength of the Qingtang will be greatly damaged.

"Then what should we do with these Qingtang surrender troops?" Yao Xiong looked at the Qingtang defenders who were surrendering in the city and frowned.

They went deep alone and had to concentrate their superior forces to sweep through all the Qingtang tribes. However, Longzhuhei City had just been captured and the people's hearts were unstable. I am afraid that a lot of soldiers and horses will be left behind to guard it.

Zhong Pu said with a stern look on his face: "If you dare to swing your sword at the Song Army, no one will be spared!"

Zhong Pu naturally knew that the Song Dynasty wanted to rule Qingtang for a long time, and Huairou's method was the most suitable, but he did not have many choices.

He must concentrate his superior forces to attack the more powerful Qingtang City. He does not have too many troops in Longzhu Black City, and the only thing he can do is to completely eliminate the threat.

Yao Xiong couldn't help but be shocked. Although he understood that this move was against the harmony of nature and would have endless consequences, it was currently the only option for the Song Army to win.

As Yao Xiong nodded helplessly, the general and deputy general of the Song Army reached an agreement.

Soon, the killings in Longzhu Black City started again, and all the Qingtang soldiers were destroyed and turned into a purgatory.

The next day, Zhong Pu left only two thousand soldiers and horses to garrison Longzhuhei City. He divided his troops with Yao Xiong and went south to sweep through the Hehuang Valley and defeat all the Qingtang tribes.

Before the Spring Festival, Zhong Pu and Yao Xiong joined forces, and 18,000 soldiers and horses approached Qingtang City.

Ali was in shock.
