Song Emperor Jiangshan

Zhao Yuan looked at Xiao Shan with a smile: "It's getting late, let's go!"

Xiao Shan followed Zhao Yuan and walked out of the small courtyard. Outside the courtyard, Yu Yunwen, Chen Junqing, Zhang Tao, Wang Shipeng, etc. were all there, and they all followed Zhao Yuan to the riverside.

Zhao Yuan stood on the watchtower, looking at the river in the distance.The surface of the river in the darkness was white, and a bright moon was hanging high. The battleships on the river were ready to go, and there were hundreds of troop carriers with their cabins wide open. Groups of soldiers were entering the ships in neat lines.

Under the torch, soldiers moved the artillery and arrows into the cabin. At the fourth watch, everything was ready, and the assembled soldiers already knew the mission of this operation, and they were all gearing up, looking excited.

Xiao Shan stood on the bank, looked up at Zhao Yuan, in the dark night, the other party was wearing a red robe, his face was illuminated by the torch, his fair and handsome face looked majestic at this moment.

Zhao Yuan said loudly: "I am here waiting for you to return from victory!"

The cry of long live resounded by the river, and everyone knelt down on one knee towards Zhao Yuan, waiting for the emperor's call.

The fiery red flag fluttered in the night wind, Xiao Shan waved: "Let's go!"

The assault boat slid across the river gracefully and quickly moved to the center of the river.

The sudden sound of gunfire came from the river surface, rolling up waves like a thousand piles of snow in the middle of the river.

The battle started very quickly, Wan Yanliang never expected that the Southern Song Dynasty would suddenly launch an attack in advance, and it was at the fourth watch time when people were sleeping the deadliest, he hurriedly got up from the bed, put on his clothes hastily, and faced the battle hastily.

The battle on the river didn't last too long. Wan Yanliang's warship was destroyed by Xiao Shan once, and although it was rushed to make it again, it was originally planned to enter the Yangtze River in three days. The shallowness caused the large warships to run aground, and the small warships of the Song Army mobilized flexibly. Before they were put into battle, they were all burned down.

Xiaoshan, who obtained the right to control the river, quickly ordered to land and fight. The Song army jumped into the freezing cold water in winter wearing paper armor, and began to head-to-head to snatch various strongholds along the river. After Xiaoshan's short-term rectification and several victories, Song The morale of the army was at an all-time high, and they marched forward bravely in the dark. Before dawn, they had already seized five or six landing points.

A large number of troop carriers immediately followed and landed at the broad and flat river crossing point on the opposite bank. Some landed forcibly from the grass, and some climbed on shallow peaks with bare hands. With Song Jun.

Wan Yanliang hastily summoned his personal guard cavalry at a critical moment, and quickly assembled for battle. In this battle, the counterfeit grenade developed by Wan Yanliang was put into the battlefield for the first time. For a while, the entire battlefield was filled with explosions and shouts of killing. .

As the commander, Xiao Shan didn't go into battle to kill the enemy himself, he just commanded the battle calmly based on the reports from the commanders and fighters from various places, and quickly adjusted the previous plan according to the specific situation.The battle started before dawn, but it was still tied at night. Both Song and Jin suffered heavy casualties. Yu Yunwen came with Xiao Shan this time. He was very worried that this level of casualties would exceed the capacity of the Song army. , Leading to the collapse of the army, the success fell short.

Xiao Shan stood on the commanding heights he had snatched, and stared at the changes in the battlefield for a moment. From his position, he could see the overall situation. The casualties of the Jin soldiers were slightly lower than those of the Song troops. Advantage.

Yu Yunwen was a little anxious: "Xiao Tongzhi ordered the withdrawal of troops. If this continues, our army will not be able to bear it!"

Xiao Shan raised his hand to stop Yu Yunwen's proposal. At this time, with heavy casualties on both sides and the outcome of the battle was not decided, the test was not only the quality of the soldiers and the army, but also the psychological quality of the coach.He must suppress the fear in the center and calmly and objectively analyze the situation on the battlefield in order to avoid making wrong judgments under the situation of continuous loss of troops and casualties.

"Order, organize the stormtroopers and attack again!" Xiao Shan ordered, the battlefield was already full of corpses at this moment, it is not too much to describe it as tragic.

"Why hasn't Yelu Yuanyi reacted in the slightest?!" Xiao Shan's deputy general couldn't sit still.

Xiao Shan shook his head: "Don't put your hopes on him, as long as he doesn't participate in the battle, that's enough! Our army still has strength, and we can continue to attack and fight!"

Xiao Shan's voice was calm and firm, with a special effect of stabilizing people's hearts. His order was quickly conveyed here, and the sound of fighting was instantly loud.

At the same time, Wan Yanliang couldn't sit still: "Why didn't the Song army retreat? Why didn't they retreat! I didn't prepare for Xiaoshan, so I came to fight again suddenly!" However, before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard the big Shocking shouts sounded from the rear of the camp, Wanyan Liang hurriedly rushed to the left and right to report: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Yelu Yuanyi rushed out of the prison and turned back!"

When Wan Yanliang heard the news, he just felt like a bolt from the blue, and he began to feel extremely regretful, why did he care about leaking the news and the thoughts of the Khitans in the army, so he only imprisoned Yelu Yuanyi but did not kill him.

At this moment, the backyard was on fire, and the front was being attacked again, and they panicked for a while.

Xiao Shan looked at the blazing smoke in the night sky, and finally smiled on his tense face: "Order, attack from all fronts. And shouted that the Khitans are rebelling!"

The battle quickly turned into daylight, and the firearms they brought had been exhausted. The two sides fought hand-to-hand, and the most brutal hand-to-hand combat began.

The soldiers' knives were broken, so they used their fists as weapons. Their arms were cut off, but they still couldn't retreat. They used all their teeth and nails. At this moment, the loud drums of war suddenly rang, and amidst the sound of the drums, It is the infantry phalanx that is quickly assembled, and the advance is changed.

"Great Song! Great Song!" The short and powerful slogan resounded through the sky again, and the situation of the battle began to turn. Although the outcome could not be seen on the battlefield, Xiao Shan knew in his heart that the moment to reverse the outcome had arrived.

Xiao Shan stepped on his horse, held an iron spear, and stood in front of the reserve team composed of ten thousand elites.

"charge!"

More troops came into battle, and at midnight, Wan Yanliang began to rout.

Once the image of defeat appeared, Song Jun was like being injected with a shot in the arm, and started a more bloody fight.

The full-scale pursuit started at dawn, Xiao Shan rode his horse all the way, he kept himself in the center of the entire battlefield, he was the coach in this battle, and he couldn't make any mistakes.

At dawn, Wan Yanliang's troops began to throw away their helmets and armor, and fled in all directions, and Wan Yanliang himself also began to flee eastward with his team.

Xiao Shan briefly wrote a sentence about what happened, and after sending the flying pigeon to Zhao Yuan, he immediately ordered to take advantage of the victory and pursue him, even in the dark night.

The pursuit lasted for more than ten days, and the results of the battle were further expanded. When the Jianghuai battlefield was in full swing, the Jingxiang battlefield also entered the battle.

Jin Bing had not deployed many troops in the Central Plains. Wu Luan, who guarded Xinyang, and Li Cheng, who was in Xiangyang, began to fight the Jin Bing head-on.After more than ten days of stalemate, Wan Yanliang's signing army collapsed.

Xiao Shan has been chasing after Wan Yanliang all the way, he is not in a hurry to run all the way, but like a cunning hunter, he followed Wan Yanliang's fleeing team unhurriedly, confiscating supplies and recovering prefectures and counties , while sending appropriate troops to harass and pursue.

Wan Yanliang headed east all the way. What he imagined was that his navy could win on the sea, and he could go straight to Lin'an, the rear of the Southern Song Dynasty, by land and sea. However, when he arrived at Xiuzhou, he heard a message that made him Desperate news - his own navy fought against Li Bao's navy, not to mention being completely defeated, Li Bao's navy even went north along the coastline, and it is very likely that they will land on the Shandong Peninsula.

At the same time, it was Zhang Zhixiong's troops from Shandong and Wang Youzhi from the Central Plains who led an uprising and quickly captured the prefectures and counties in the Kingdom of Jin, cutting off Wan Yanliang's retreat.

But this does not make Wan Yanliang despair, the most deadly news is nothing else, but Wanyan Yong, who stayed in Tokyo, suddenly announced his enthronement and change of Yuan, and the emperor Wanyan Liang was abolished!

Wan Yanliang is now a trapped beast, unable to return to the north, unable to go south, and has no choice but to risk his life and risk his life.

No. 20 days after the Battle of Crossing the River, Xiao Shan had already arrived in Xiuzhou, ready to encircle and suppress Wan Yanliang's remaining 4 or [-] horses. That night, Xiao Shan was discussing with the governor Yu Yunwen and the generals under his tent to force Wan Yanliang into battle. At the dead end, he suddenly received a battle report——Wan Yanliang led his troops to break out of the encirclement. He didn't go north, east, or south. Instead, he suddenly sent his troops west. It seemed that the target was directly at Zhao Yuan's troops. The line with the weakest defense is Jiankang!

What was even more frightening was that he was blinded by Wan Yanliang's illusion during the pursuit. He successfully transferred the army to Xiuzhou, and Wan Yanliang had sneaked westward three days ago. The soldiers arrived at the city of Jiankang.

When Xiao Shan heard the news, he was holding a dagger in his hand and was thinking about how to capture Wan Yan Liang alive. The dagger in his hand fell to the ground in the tent. The ground was covered with mud, and there was no sound. Not a sound.

He never imagined that Wan Yanliang would choose Jiankang mansion in a desperate fight against the trapped beast!

The defenders of Jiankang Mansion are only two thousand. With the frequent reports of victory, the defense must be relaxed. Wan Yanliang also saw this and hoped to take the risk of catching Zhao Yuan and turn the whole situation around. .

Xiao Shan led his troops back to rescue that night. He first brought [-] elite cavalry first, and then let Yu Yunwen lead a large group of troops to rush there afterward. He rushed for [-] li overnight, and arrived in Jiankang in the early morning of the next day.

Jiankang was already surrounded by golden soldiers, when Xiao Shan arrived, he was terrified by what he encountered.

The east gate of Jiankang Mansion had been captured by Jin soldiers, and his own [-] cavalry were not enough to suppress Wanyan Liang in terms of strength and combat effectiveness.

On the city tower, the one wearing armor and holding a long sword, who personally killed the enemy in the shadow of swords and lights was none other than Zhao Yuan!

At this moment, Xiao Shan's heart was barely beating. His eyes were already red after running for a whole day and night, but when he saw this scene, he clamped his legs tightly to the horse's belly, leading five thousand elite cavalry to kill a bloody road, almost killing one person in ten steps. Sent madly, in the shadow of swords and fire, he rushed in front of Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan rode his horse to fight in person, with blood all over his face and body, the eyes of the two of them met in the chaos, and there was no time to say anything.

Xiao Shan defended Zhao Yuan fiercely, fighting like mad, the soldiers in the city were shocked when they saw the rescuers coming, this hand-to-hand combat lasted from morning to night, and from night to day.

Everyone was almost exhausted, Xiao Shan could no longer feel the slightest fatigue and weakness, but the strength of the knife he swung in his hand was no longer strong enough to kill a golden soldier.

Can you fall short when you are about to succeed?Everyone had the same idea, gritted their teeth, and defended the inner city when the outer city had already fallen.

When the sun slowly rose and the first ray of light appeared on this land, Xiao Shan, who had already lost his strength, leaned on the tower and looked into the distance.

On the vast field, a group of people appeared, and that group of people quickly turned into two groups, ten groups, thousand groups, and ten thousand groups.

It was Yu Yunwen who led the army to arrive.

The outcome was decided, Xiao Shan finally couldn't hold on anymore and passed out.

In this coma, he fell into a coma for three days and three nights. When he woke up again, he jumped up from the bed and asked loudly, "Where is your majesty? How is your majesty?"

A gentle voice sounded beside his ears, Zhao Yuan's voice was particularly steady: "I'm fine. Xiao Qing, our army won a big victory in this battle!"

When Xiao Shan heard the news, he finally fell back on the bed again. After a while, he found that the place he was sleeping was not his own bedroom, but Zhao Yuan's bedroom.
