Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The night is already dark, and the people in Chang'an City are still dragging their families and rushing forward!

The road is difficult, especially after dark, they can't see the road ahead at all! At this time, the army can only explore the road in front, alerting the rear when encountering a dangerous situation, while the people behind follow the army cautiously!

More than 100,000 people formed an extremely long team at this moment, some walked faster, while others walked very slowly!

Gradually, the terrain became steeper, and the people moved slower! Especially those old people and children, many of them are unable to move on! At this time, under Zhao Chen's order, the defenders of Chang'an City have begun to help those old people and children. Many soldiers carried the old people and children on their backs, and some soldiers pushed the carts to put the weaker people in the carts. Come on, lead the people forward!

"Hurry up! No one knows when King Kang's rebel army will catch up! We must send these people to Wugong County as soon as possible!" Zhao Chen said.

Yu Yunwen nodded.

"The terrain here is getting higher and higher, have we reached Zhongnan Mountain?" Zhao Chen asked abruptly.

"That's right, Your Majesty, we are now heading towards the foot of Zhongnan Mountain!" Wang Shu said.

"Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen, the more than 100,000 people will be handed over to you. You take them forward and don't let anyone pull them down! After you reach Wugong County, you must arrange the defense of Wugong County! Also, you Inform Fufeng County to let the soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps there also advance eastward! Kang Wang’s rebels have hundreds of thousands of troops, and we have 400,000 young people! Our 400,000 young people, even if they can’t defeat them, are enough to stop them!” Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, won't you go to Wugong County with us?" Yu Yunwen asked in surprise.

"I have other things to do!" Zhao Chen said.

"I don't know what it is?" Yu Yunwen asked tentatively.

"What is it, you will know in a few days!" Zhao Chen said with a faint smile.

At present, Wang Shu and Yu Yunwen led more than 100,000 Chang'an people towards Wugong County, while Zhao Chen stopped in the area of ​​Zhongnan Mountain with 5,000 imperial soldiers!

The cold wind was howling and the sky was full of snow. Zhao Chen and the soldiers of the imperial camp found a place to leeward. They dismounted from their horses, and the soldiers of the imperial camp went to look for firewood! After a while, everyone lit piles of bonfires!

They all carry enough food and grass on their bodies, and some people have already started cooking!

Zhao Chen and Kang An were sitting by the fire, they were roasting a roe deer, and gradually the smell of meat came out!

"Your Majesty, what are we doing here?" Kang An asked strangely.

"Of course we are waiting for King Kang's army of traitors to arrive!" Zhao Chen said.

"Ah! What?" An unbelievable expression appeared on Kang An's face!

"When King Kang's army arrives, we will give them a surprise! They have hundreds of thousands of troops, and we will use 5,000 cavalry to attack them! Do you have such courage?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, our imperial soldiers naturally have such courage! For us, being able to fight and sacrifice for our country is something we can only wish for! But, Your Majesty, your status is precious, and you are related to the country and the country. You must not Stay with us! It is too dangerous to use 5,000 people to snipe hundreds of thousands of troops! You should immediately retreat to Wugong County, or even Fufeng County, Fengxiang Mansion, or Dashanguan!" Kang An said anxiously.

"Don't worry! There won't be too much danger! Kang Wang's hundreds of thousands of troops have arrived, and they would never have thought that our mere 5,000 people would dare to attack them here! This time we caught them off guard and would only defeat the enemy!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the battlefield is dangerous, you must not stay here!" Kang An said.

"The battlefield is dangerous, of course I know that! It's just that the soldiers are not afraid of danger. As an emperor, why should I be afraid of danger? Emperor Taizu has conquered thousands of miles with his martial arts. As a descendant, I can't compare with Emperor Taizu. The difference is too much! Follow me in this battle, and you will win!" Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen was so persistent, Kang An couldn't persuade him anymore, he could only secretly swear to follow Zhao Chen closely on the battlefield and protect Zhao Chen's life!

"Immediately send someone to check the surrounding terrain! Before King Kang's army arrives, we must understand everything around here clearly! Also, find a hidden place, and we must be able to hide ourselves well!" Zhao Chen said.

Kang An nodded, and immediately went to carry out Zhao Chen's order, not to mention that.

Zhao Chen stood on the hillside, looking at the scenery in the distance! This is a picturesque country, and now he is in charge of it! But this country is in danger! The reason why he stayed here was mainly to attack King Kang's army and buy time for Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen and others! Although Kang An is loyal and quite powerful, but Kang An is not good at resourcefulness, he is not as good as the emperor! Under such circumstances, Zhao Chen decided to stay by himself and choose the method of sniping the enemy according to the situation!

"It's been four years since Xuanwu, and I'm fourteen years old! I thought everything would go well in the future. Under my leadership, the Great Song Dynasty would flourish, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen! As a Han, my ninth uncle unexpectedly Joining forces with the Jurchen gave me a sudden blow! But it’s nothing, it’s impossible to really hit me! At most they occupy Tongguan, Chang’an, and occupy some places, and I will take them back in the future! They recruited last year Among the millions of young people, 300,000 have entered the army, and 1.2 million have formed the production and construction corps. What I need now is time! As long as there is enough time, these young people will grow up and become elites sooner or later! At that time, it's time for me to really fight back! Jurchen, King Kang, let you be arrogant for a while!" Zhao Chen secretly said.

*** ***

It's already the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and the heavy snow is still falling, without any sign of stopping!

It was getting late, and a cavalry appeared from a distance!

This cavalry is also dressed in the Song Army, and they came from the direction of Chang'an! Needless to say, they are the army under Kang Wang Zhao Gou!

The leader is unusually handsome, who else is it if it's not Liu Guangshi?

Liu Guangshi has an army of 100,000, of which 80,000 are infantry and 20,000 are cavalry. At this moment, he is leading the 20,000 cavalry to gallop forward!

From a distance, you can see the difference between Liu Guangshi's cavalry and Jurchen cavalry and Yue Fei's cavalry. Their ranks are extremely scattered, some are three or five people together, some are alone, and 20,000 cavalry formed a long snake-like team! The marching speed of these cavalry is extremely slow, just a little faster than ordinary infantry. They are talking and laughing, and there are constantly noisy voices in the army! Such a scene would never appear in the Jurchen cavalry and Yue Fei cavalry!

But even though the team is so scattered, Liu Guangshi is still full of confidence. He feels that his cavalry is invincible in the world!

"It has been many years since we have won such a victory! We conquered Tongguan first, and then Chang'an! Before long, the entire Guanshan will be ours!" Liu Guangshi said to a general behind him.

This time they conquered Tongguan with an army of 800,000, causing heavy casualties, hardly a victory! As for Chang'an, it was Zhao Chen who gave it to them! But in Liu Guangshi's view, these are all victories! Liu Guangshi was extremely excited at the moment, triumphant!

"The general is right. From the Jingkang Incident to the present, we have never won such a victory! But Emperor Xuanwu was too cunning. When we captured Chang'an, there were no civilians, no soldiers, and no soldiers. Grain, weapons, etc. stay here! All we get is an empty city!" The general behind looked about the same age as Liu Guangshi, but he was far less handsome than Liu Guangshi! He is tall, slender, and ugly. He is Li Qiong, the general under Liu Guangshi!

In history, Liu Guangshi had two generals under his command, one civil and one military, the literary was called Li Qiong, and the military was called Wang De! Li Qiong was outstanding in resourcefulness. In history, after Liu Guangshi was devalued, Li Qiong took refuge in the Jurchens, and was known as the "Jurchen General" in history! But now, Li Qiong is still Liu Guangshi's subordinate!

"He's not cunning, but he's afraid! Emperor Xuanwu is just an incompetent and cowardly person after all, it's really worthless!" Liu Guangshi laughed.

"General, I don't think Emperor Xuanwu should be underestimated! We have seen the power of Emperor Xuanwu's troops in Tongguan, and we can't take it lightly!" Li Qiong said.

"Tongguan is different from other places. It is the gate of Guanshan, and the soldiers there are naturally elite! But apart from Tongguan, there must be no such elite soldiers and horses in other places! Speaking of which, most of the soldiers and horses under Emperor Xuanwu are It was the Zhejia army back then! What kind of virtue is the Zhejia army, don't I, Liu Guangshi, know?" Liu Guangshi said disdainfully.

Liu Guangshi was also from a family of soldiers and generals in the Northwest, and the Liu Family Army was the second largest army in the Western Army after the Zhong Family Army! When Liu Guangshi's father, Liu Yanqing, was alive, the Liu family army was going to attack the Zhe family army! Liu Guangshi has always looked down on the Zhejia Army. He thinks that Zhao Chen's subordinates are all descendants of the Zhejia Army, so now he also looks down on Zhao Chen's soldiers!

"What the general said makes sense!" Li Qiong thought for a while and said.

"Originally, Emperor Xuanwu has a general under his command, who is well-known in the world! But Emperor Xuanwu is the most incompetent emperor in the world, and he doesn't know how to use this general!" Liu Guangshi laughed.

"I don't know who the general is talking about?" Li Qiong said.

"Of course it's Qu Duan! Qu Duan is an all-round talent in both civil and military affairs, and everyone in the world knows it! When he fought against Xixia, my father admired Qu Duan repeatedly! Emperor Xuanwu was so confused that he didn't use it. Qu Duan, it's ridiculous!" Liu Guangshi said.

"General, the terrain here is getting higher and higher, and we have reached the Zhongnan Mountain area, we still have to be careful!" Li Qiong said.

"Be careful? What is there to be careful about? We have already checked, and there is no large-scale army gathering around here! Moreover, we have received news that Emperor Xuanwu's imperial army has gone to the north, and now they will definitely not be able to return! As for Jingyuan The Army and the Huanqing Army are all in northern Shaanxi, and some are in Dasan Pass and Jingyuan Road. It is impossible to come here now! Now Guan Shan is completely empty, and we can gallop as we please! Emperor Xuanwu, not me Look down on him, because he really has nothing for me to look up to!" Liu Guangshi laughed loudly.

"This..." Li Qiong was stunned for a moment, and had to admit that what Liu Guangshi said was correct!

"Besides, our 20,000 cavalry are just the vanguard, and behind us is the 70,000 infantry army of our Liu family army, which is only about 20 miles away from here! After that, there is an army of nearly 700,000 led by Master Qin Hui! So many What is there to worry about? Now we just need to keep moving forward, capture Emperor Xuanwu as quickly as possible, and make great achievements. This is the most important thing!" Liu Guangshi said.

Liu Guangshi kept urging his cavalry to go forward, but the quality of his cavalry was really poor! It was dark and the road was slippery, and many cavalrymen were unwilling to continue on their way at all, and countless cavalrymen complained!

Gradually, their line became longer and longer, and more and more cavalry fell behind! Liu Guangshi also has no idea of ​​organizing the army, his Liu family army has always been like this! Since the death of his father Liu Yanqing, Liu Jiajun has been far worse than before!

After another hour, the sky was completely dark, and at this time there was an extremely long gentle slope ahead!

Liu Guangshi led 20,000 cavalry to rush towards the gentle slope, but when he had just rushed to the half of the hill, the sound of thousands of horses galloping came from above!
