Chapter 1743 Crossbow looting(1/2)
"Song Army is here!"
The defeated army rushed into Fanyang City. The guard general Xiao Yeduo watched them rush in in shock, and then asked someone to bring the generals.
"Chen An is here, Chen An is here!"
The Liao general shouted loudly as soon as he came up and panicked.
Xiao Yeduo woke him up with a slap and asked, "Where is he?"
"I'm chasing you from behind."
General Liao pointed ahead with a panic look.
"Why were you defeated?" Xiao Ye said angrily: "The Song army is approaching. Do you dare to stop it even if you have more than 10,000 people? Why don't you retreat?"
In his opinion, this is probably the result of showing off.
The Liao general choked and said, "I didn't stop him, no, what I stopped was the Wansheng Army of the Song people, only 8,000."
"Why did you lose?"
Xiao Yeduo looked at the smoke and dust appearing in front of him and waved his hand. Someone shouted: "Beware, prepare to defend the city!"
The city was boiling.
The Liao general said: "At that time, I stopped Wansheng's army and wanted to defeat the enemy's spirit. But I didn't expect that Chen An would quietly encircle him from both sides. If he hadn't run fast, he would have been wiped out."
"Hmm?" Xiao Yeduo said in disbelief: "You didn't send scouts on both sides? You idiot!"
Knock!
He drew his long sword and was about to slash.
The Liao general knelt down and cried, "I've sent it, but Chen'an is in Taiyin. I don't know what method I used to intercept and kill a scout sent out."
Xiao Ye imagined it more: when the Liao army was proudly intercepting the Song army's Wansheng army, the Song army on both sides had already quietly touched it.
It's really sinister!
"The Song army is here."
Teams of Song cavalry rushed over.
"alert!"
Xiao Yeduo was looking at the Song army, "What do they want to do?"
The Song army was getting faster and faster, and it seemed like they wanted to attack the city with cavalry.
"They are here!"
"Bow and arrow!"
Rows of archers appeared on the top of the city. They set their bows and pointed them at the bottom.
"Stop!"
General Song ordered his subordinates to stop, but he immediately stepped forward.
"Call him to death!"
Xiao Yeduo said happily: "I killed Song General, and I will make a great contribution."
The Liao general next to him sighed and said, "I'm afraid I can't go back."
Xiao Ye was stunned for a long time before he remembered what he said.
——Chen An is here, do we still want to get credit for it?
Just wait for death!
He turned his head and slapped the Liao general, and then said, "There is no shortage of food and grass in the city, and there is no shortage of arrows. I can hold on for half a year. When the Song people were defeated and retreated in Youzhou, I took the opportunity to lead the army, which would be a great achievement."
General Song had already rushed over, and he was also raising an arrow.
"Shoot the arrow!"
The rain of arrows poured down from the city.
In this rain of arrows, Song Jiang's shot arrow accurately hit an archer's throat, and then he rode his horse back.
The rain of arrows fell behind him, and the Liao army on the top of the city was surprised.
"Who is General Song?"
Xiao Yeduo felt that such archery skills were really amazing.
"Shuoqiyi!"
"Is the Zhe family son?" Xiao Yeduo sneered: "Chen An hasn't come yet, he is about to fight with him to see what the so-called famous general is."
"He is here." General Liao pointed to the front and said, "Look at that big flag!"
Under the big banner, Chen An is constantly issuing instructions.
"Send a cavalry to Liangxiang to expel enemy scouts. If you encounter a large number of enemy troops, you can report it in time and there is no need to fight hard."
The roar set out, and Zhe Kexing brought people to greet him.
“Camp now.”
Chen An took the people ahead.
"Fanyang City!"
Chen An pointed to the city and said, "Mr. Chen's title is Fan Yang. Last time, he was under his scholastic school, and the enemy troops at the city were silent. Today, I came here again, so I can go and ask the Liao people."
Before he stepped forward, he shouted in Liao language: "The Dragon Map of the Duke of Fanyang County of the Great Song Dynasty is here, I ask you if you are willing to surrender!"
The Duke of Fanyang County came to attack Fanyang City, which was very interesting.
But the Liao army at the top of the city were all scared.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Sparse arrows drove out the Song army.
The Song army immediately set up camp.
The smoke rises, and the sunset is particularly beautiful.
Xiao Yeduo frowned and looked at the Song army's camp, "Chen An uses troops very quickly, why is he so slow this time?"
The Liao general said, "This is an army of more than 100,000!"
You have to talk about the size of the soldiers. If you have more than 100,000 people, you can show me how fast you have?
Unless they are all cavalry, how can cavalry attack the city?
Xiao Ye thought about it more and turned around and said, "Let the soldiers have a good meal tonight to boost morale."
So smoke rose in the city, and then the Liao army held a bowl on the top of the city, shouting with a large piece of mutton.
"Show off your yarn!"
Chen'an's food is very simple, just a big cake and a bowl of soup.
The soup is a chowder soup with dried vegetables and bacon, which tastes pretty good.
"How to attack?"
The military supervisor Yang came with the map.
This guy was a little eager to make contributions. Seeing that Chen An was just paying attention to eating, he expressed his opinion, "He should use artillery to open the city gate directly, and then cover it and kill it in."
"The back of the city gate has been blocked."
Chen An took a sip of the soup, took a piece of bacon, and quickly ate a bite of the big cake to press the salty taste.
These bacon makers simply throw the meat in salt water and soak it. Even after cooking the soup, it is still so salty that it makes people want to vomit.
"Uh...that's a night attack?"
Yang Du looked up and said, "We sent a dead soldier to touch it at night..."
Chen An slowly looked at him sideways, and Yang Du subconsciously stood up straight.
"Bad idea!"
Chen An left after leaving this sentence, and Yang said dissatisfiedly: "Is this a bad idea? Can't it be possible to attack at night? Remember that he attacked him at night in the last Northwest War! He was also regarded as a classic in the court."
Xu Chang said: "Military Supervisor, Chen Longtu was the enemy that time and didn't know they were here."
Yangdu's dream of a famous general was shattered in an instant.
"How to fight?"
He looked at the city wall and thought for a long time.
In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, Chen An summoned the generals to discuss matters and Yang Du attended.
"Someone asked me why it was not surprising, and I wanted to talk about it here."
Chen An said: "This Northern Expedition not only wants to recover the land of Youyan, but also to exert the spirit of the Song Dynasty and defeat the morale of the enemy. This is the end of a century of grudges and a battle for the overlords on this land. In this battle, the Song Dynasty will fight with dignity, with its head held high and its chest and its blood boiling!"
