Chapter 146: Broken halberds and buried new bones·15

In the second year of Jingding, Liu Zheng, the garrison commander of Luzhou, rebelled and surrendered to the Mongols, and the emperor was furious.

Jia Sidao's set of measures to check the military accounts to save the financial crisis of the Song Dynasty finally brought unimaginable troubles to this huge imperial machine.

The accounts that the Song Dynasty's military generals could not explain were a well-known secret. Jia Sidao's thorough investigation and settlement seemed to be a fight against corruption, but in fact it relied on officials to pay tribute and act according to the so-called "rules" to eliminate dissidents.

Liu Zheng, the garrison commander of Luzhou, had been at odds with his superiors for a long time, and had always hated Jia Sidao. Seeing that the investigation was about to reach him, Liu Zheng's superiors refused to accept his gifts, and even refused the routine arrangements of welcoming and sending him off. Liu Zheng felt that he had run out of options.

In recent years, the Song Dynasty had lost many meritorious generals in succession due to financial audits, including many of his close friends. Liu Zheng therefore believed that the court was determined to deal with him.

According to the criminal law of the Song Dynasty, he could not escape death, so he simply led his troops to surrender to the Mongols.

In this way, Liu Zheng's navy and Shu land would be completely surrendered to the Mongols, and the Song Dynasty was in danger.

Zhao Yun immediately gave orders, ordering Lu Wende, Yu Xing and Xiao Hao to go to Luzhou to attack Liu Zheng.

The three passes of Yiyang where Xiao Hao was stationed were the frontline of the border between Song and Mongolia in the north and south. Zhao Yun also attached great importance to this place, so he added a lot of garrisons. Xiao Hao brought Cangyun and others to the expedition this time, and he had to temporarily entrust this place to them, so he gave them many instructions.

Today is different from the past. The three pass cities that they had more than 200 people to dig out from the teeth of the Mongolian army are now heavily defended.

Xiao Hao looked at his well-organized team, and his heart was full of pride and steadfastness.

These sharp blades have finally come to see blood.

He raised his arms and shouted, his voice echoing throughout the parade grounds: "Who are we!"

More than 3,000 soldiers shouted back in unison: "Black armor and blue clouds!"

The frosty sky roared with thunder, stopping the moving clouds.

"Anyone who invades our territory and betrays our country——!"

"All must die!"

Xiao Hao raised the wine bowl in front of him, half of it poured onto the Mo Dao, and the other half poured into the loess, "I am willing to kill with my body to defeat the evil——"

The Cangyun soldiers shouted in unison: "In exchange for a prosperous and peaceful world!"

The white feather on Xiao Hao's head moved slightly in the wind. He filled the wine cup and poured it into the sky: "Cheers!"

The Cangyun soldiers drank the strong liquor in the cup with him, and smashed the wine bowls in their hands on the ground. The crisp shattering sounds one after another were like the sound of war drums, hitting the throbbing hearts of everyone present.

Xiao Hao jumped on his horse neatly, raised his horse's hooves and rushed to the front, riding away from the dust for thousands of miles.

"Let's go!"

Luzhou City was in chaos.

The main force of the Song army had already occupied Huangshi Dam, and used it as a base to capture Jiangxin Water Fort and control the river. Lu Wende and others attacked the city from the south, while Xiao Hao led the Cangyun Army and the main general Yu Xing to attack the city from the east.

Liu Zheng was a fierce general of the Song Dynasty. He was calm and wise, good at riding and shooting, and coaching soldiers. When he was 22 years old, he took Xinyang City in one night with 12 brave men, and was called "Sai Cunxiao" by the world.

It is not known whether it is Cangyun's blessing or misfortune to encounter the offensive Cangyun this time.

Anyone who blocks Cangyun's way forward will be crushed under the feet of the Cangyun Army!

Liu Zheng opened the city gates to fight, and Xiao Hao led the Cang Yun Army to fight in the front. He arranged the Cang Yun Army in battle formation, and with a single command, the Cang Yun Army's front row erected a shield wall, with neat golden shields spread out in front of them.

Liu Zheng had long heard that Xiao Hao's Cang Yun Army was brave and good at fighting, but this was the first time that the world had actually seen how they fought.

Seeing the Cang Yun Army's posture like a solid wall, Liu Zheng's heart sank, and he immediately asked the soldiers around him to prepare for defense.

Shi Zhixuan spent nearly three years training the martial arts of these Cangyun. Now, these more than 3,000 Cangyun with an average level of 70 are truly an iron wall that no one can stop on the battlefield.

Xiao Hao does not have that many contributions to exchange for them. Except for the initial 200 people, the others are ordinary weapons that Xiao Hao used to cast at the last minute. However, the repair and maintenance of things produced by the system are not that troublesome, and the quality is also acceptable. After all, it is much better than the standard weapons of the Song Dynasty.

The most rare thing is that this group of Cangyun is different from him. He is restricted by the system, and each skill will be affected by the mind method, anger value and blocking value, while as long as their true energy is not exhausted, they can freely display the martial arts of Cangyun.

Xiao Hao's endurance ability is unmatched by them, but in terms of charging ability, no matter which Cang Yun, they are all elite among the elite.

Xiao Hao looked straight ahead and shouted on the battlefield: "Push for me!"

The Cang Yun army marched in neat steps and danced with shields like bulldozers, crashing into Liu Zheng's army.

Liu Zheng was frightened by the flying iron shields, and immediately ordered the front row soldiers to hold them up. The archers quickly took their positions and launched an attack to block the Cang Yun's forward steps amid his shouts.

Xiao Hao sat steadily on the horse's back and raised one hand calmly. The Cang Yun received the order and immediately formed two rows behind the front row of shields, ready to be ordered at any time.

Flying arrows came like meteors, and Xiao Hao saw the right moment, swung his arm, and gave a concise order: "Shield stand!"

"Clang", "clang", "clang", and a row of clouds immediately appeared behind the shield wall. The black iron shield surface stood firm, bouncing back all the flying arrows intact, hitting the sharpshooters under Liu Zheng.

These sharpshooters may have realized today that their bows and arrows were so deadly.

But the moment they knew this, their lives had been left forever on this battlefield.

Xiao Hao gave another order, and the Cangyun formation changed again. A new row of shield walls advanced steadily with shield dance. Liu Zheng's army was dazzled by the flying shields and was defeated step by step.

The heavy rain covered the sky, and the thunder turned into a wall.

The Cangyun army was like a sharp blade inserted into the enemy, and it broke up Liu Zheng's army in front of Luzhou City.

Xiao Hao jumped up from his horse, and the sunlight fell behind him, making his silhouette in the air dark and chilling.

"It's time for you to draw your swords!"

The Cangyun Army split into two, and pushed Liu Zheng's army formation to both sides from the place where they broke through, and the road in front of Luzhou City was clear!

Xiao Hao met Liu Zheng and rushed up with bloody rage.

In terms of single combat, Liu Zheng was no match for Xiao Hao. He was greatly surprised by Cang Yun's bravery. As a veteran of the battlefield, he had expected that he would be defeated if he went out of the city to fight. The best strategy was to retreat to the city and defend it.

So he withstood Xiao Hao's shield attack and shouted loudly: "Now the Mongolian army is huge and the people are loyal. Sooner or later, they will unify the territory. The Zhao family has run out of luck. Why don't you give up the dark and join the light!"

Xiao Hao ignored him and sneered and hit him with a shield knife.

"General Xiao's achievement in taking the three passes of Yiyang is known to the world and witnessed by all the people in the court! However, the Lin'an court was incompetent and allowed the villain Jia Sidao to succeed. He seized the general's credit and gave him unclear rewards and punishments. He also sent people to investigate our military pay. With such a dark court, why would the general serve him?"

Xiao Hao sneered and replied while shielding him: "As a subject of the Song Dynasty, I receive salary from the emperor. In times of national crisis, how can I be so loyal to him? At the critical moment, he did not try to sacrifice himself for the country, but gave away the beautiful mountains and rivers to the northern barbarians. This act of disloyalty and unfilial piety should be spit on by the world! Xiao Hao was born as a soldier, and he dared not forget his country even though he was in a low position. He only wished to kill all the shameless traitors in the world to correct the noble spirit! "

Liu Zheng's eyes darkened a little. He was familiar with all the famous generals of the Song Dynasty. He had tried the right medicine to cure the greedy and lustful ones. But this new Xiao Hao was the most stubborn person in the court of the Song Dynasty. I don't know how such a stubborn person survived the power struggle in the palace of Lin'an Prefecture.

If the reason doesn't make sense, there is only a fight; if you can't win in a single fight, you must save your life first!

Liu Zheng did not want to get involved with him, so he immediately called many soldiers to cover his escape to the city.

The surroundings were filled with the sounds of fighting between the Cang Yun army and Liu Zheng's army. They had been fighting until this moment, and in the Cang Yun team divided by Xiao Hao, there was a team commanding and giving orders for every 25 people. Liu Zheng's soldiers had gradually become familiar with Cang Yun's martial arts.

But it was of no use. Understanding Cang Yun's martial arts would only bring them greater psychological pressure. The battlefield was filled with the terrified shouts of Liu Zheng's troops:

"Damn it! They are here again!"

"Why are you shooting arrows! Stop it, you idiot! There's a shield on the opposite side again!"

"Ah! Save me!"

"What do you want to save? Follow the general and run for your life!"

"I can't bear it anymore! I can't bear it anymore!"

"I'm going to fight you to death!!!"

"Be careful of the sword!"

...

Xiao Hao caught up with Liu Zheng with a bang. He was already full of anger. The moment the shield flew and cut the knife, the blade forged by cold iron was raised high with a blood-red light.

Liu Zheng hurriedly pulled over the soldiers around him, and the innocent soldier was cut in half by Xiao Hao, and blood splashed all over them.

Xiao Hao immediately followed up with a new knife, but before he could chop it off, he suddenly heard the sound of retreating troops from the rear, and the Mo Dao in his hand suddenly stopped.

It turned out that Yu Xing saw that it was getting late and thought that Luzhou was not difficult to attack, so he wanted to withdraw his troops and set up camp under the city, and continue the attack at dawn tomorrow.

Xiao Hao's mind was turning quickly. Retreating at this time would give Liu Zheng a chance to catch his breath. Once the Mongolian reinforcements arrived tomorrow, it might be difficult to break the city again, and it would delay the opportunity to fight, which would be disadvantageous to the Song army.

He immediately shouted: "All Cangyun listen to my orders! Seize the opportunity to pursue the enemy! Follow me and take Luzhou in one fell swoop!"

Liu Zheng was overjoyed when he heard the Song army retreat, thinking that he had escaped a disaster. However, he saw that Xiao Hao had no intention of listening to the commander's orders. He angrily scolded: "Military orders are as heavy as mountains. Do you think Yu Xing and Lu Wende are good people? They have a close relationship with Jia Sidao and have long disliked you. General Xiao openly disobeyed military orders on the battlefield. You know what will happen!"

Xiao Hao's eyes were frost-covered, and his Mo Dao flew into the sky. He quickly drew out his remaining weapon, the sword tip, and pointed mercilessly: "Except the emperor, no one can command Cangyun."

"The reinforcements from Luzhou will arrive soon! I have informed the Khan of the weakness of the Song Dynasty! You can't defend Xiangyang, the three passes of Yiyang, or the Song Dynasty!"

Blood splashed like weeds, Liu Zheng's eyes widened, and he fell backwards.

Xiao Hao put the sword into his backpack, and the Mo Dao fell vertically, and was held in his hand again.

"Don't worry."

Xiao Hao swung the long sword and looked back silently. The dead sun was bloody, and the ground was covered with broken scales and broken armor. Yu Xing was behind the army, looking at him angrily and with a bit of schadenfreude.

He turned around, jumped onto the wall of Luzhou with his great Qinggong, and shouted:

"Set up the cloud ladder! Attack the city!"

This is a battlefield of Cangyun, and no one can say anything.

On the battlefield, there is no such thing as letting the tiger go back to the mountain, but only keeping one’s weapons ready!

The author has something to say: The time of Liu Zheng’s death is different from the historical facts, and it serves the plot, so don’t worry too much_(:з」∠)_Lü

Wende and Yu Xing are both Jia Sidao’s men. Well... Lü Wende is the cowardly Xiangyang defender who was caught by Guo Jing in the original novel. Hao

Hao’s knot_(:з」∠)_ can be vaguely seen here.

There are still many easter eggs, looking forward to the release of the hidden Yuan secret =v=~

The big demons are going to be famous all over the world233333

As a fur control, when I think of the white fur of Three Thousand Cangyun, I can’t control my claws...(ˉ﹃ˉ)

In addition, seeing a row of father shields standing in front of me is really psychologically stressful! !!!!!!

I will never forget the tragic scene of myself crashing into a windmill and committing suicide...嘤QAQ.
