    Pillars of smoke rose into the sky. Zhang Ruoyuan jumped out of the smoke and flames. The string of the riding bow in his hand was broken, and the armor on his body was covered with scars.  There were more than fifty knights following him. They were all good men who could fight in Youyan. At this time, less than half of them were left.  There were not many people left in the village. At this time, they also led their horses and carts, holding back their panic, fear and tears.  Under the cover of Zhang Huan's team of knights, they rushed out.  At this moment, in the village, there are only burned houses and corpses on the ground.  In addition to the sons and sons brought by Zhang Huan, these corpses include the villagers and a group of Bohai soldiers who were strangled by Zhang Huan.  After the destruction of the Liao Kingdom, the Jurchen East Route Army also managed to increase the strength of the army in the heartland of the Liao people they occupied.  In addition to the mature Jurchens in Liaodong, a large number of Bohai people, Xi people and other former Khitan vassal ethnic groups were also recruited into the army.  Even many Han children in Liaodong were driven into vassals.  However, in addition to greatly improving the siege ability of the Jurchen East Route Army, these vassal armies and horses, because the Jurchens have no experience in running vassal armies, their combat effectiveness is mediocre.  However, because of the large number of mature women from Liaodong, the true strength of the real women under Zong Wang has now reached a scale of nearly 70,000!  Zongwang has always been in the north of Yandi, keeping a low profile.  People's attention was completely focused on Zong Han's West Route Army.  But as a famous Jurchen general at the moment, Zong Wang's commanding ability is by no means inferior to Zong Han.  Once activated, it will have thunderous momentum!  Including the true Jurchen power, various vassal armies, and various driven civilians.  Even Zong Wang couldn't figure out the exact number of troops and horses he dispatched.  It can only be estimated to be more than 150,000.  Such an army.  Divided into two ways.  They marched all the way from Pingzhou and other places, and attacked Yanjing from the east.  All the way is to the west, along the tunnels between the lofty mountains of Yanshan Mountain, pointing directly at the powerful Southern Dynasty army gathered in Tanzhou.  After preparing to defeat this powerful army of the Southern Dynasties, the two armies converged at the foot of Yanjing City, then swept across the entire land of Youyan, and then headed south to attack the Song Dynasty and Hebei armies!  Once the 150,000-strong army takes action, the land of Youyan will immediately be filled with beacon smoke.  There were Jurchen cavalry everywhere, and under the cover of the spread out cavalry, the Jurchen forces were resolutely pointing at Tanzhou and Yanjing.  And a large number of vassal troops, like locusts, swept through the rural Wubao towns such as Tanzhou and Yanjing, which had regained some of their strength, raising food for the goddess's power, taking captives, and plundering property.  In just a few days, the entire northern part of Yan Land seemed to be overwhelmed by the overwhelming Jurchen army!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zhang Huan was the first to discover the Jurchens  The powerful son of Biandiwu Fort who was the vanguard of the army.  After being attacked in the mountains, wait to escape from the mountains.  When fleeing to his home Wubao.  Then he found that his own fortress had been opened by Jurchen troops and horses. Flames were rising everywhere, and the sound of Jurchen troops and horses shouting and shouting in triumph could be heard from inside.  It goes without saying that my family, which survived through so much hardship in troubled times, no longer exists.  With his eyes red, Zhang Xu ambushed a Jurchen knight on the road, snatched his horse, and rushed towards Tanzhou.  From now on, there is no other way but to follow King Yan and swear to avenge this!  By the time Zhang Huan arrived at the Tanzhou Administrative Office, it was already a scene of chaos and war.  The city walls that had just been repaired were surrounded, the city gates were closed, and all the young men marched up to the city.  Outside the city were gathered a large number of powerful soldiers and horses who had fled from all over, as well as some common people who had only struggled to gather together in the past few years.  Everyone is running and shouting, everyone is shouting to open the city gate, everyone is asking the leader of Yan King to stay here, come up with an idea!  Decisions were made very quickly in the city. Immediately, generals came to the city and commanded the city gates to be opened.  But instead of bringing these powerful private troops and the fleeing people into the city, they sent out all the cavalry in the city.  Most of these most mobile military horses fought outside the city, holding back the Jurchen army and covering the people who had worked so hard in the past few years to escape to Yizhou. If there was someone to help them, they would retreat to the roads in Hebei of the Song Dynasty.  If no one responds, flee along Feihu Trail to the war zone where Han Yue is located in Hedong.  All the people in the city were evacuated out of the city, and there were still about 2,000 troops and horses. They gave up all their own horses to enhance the mobility of the troops fighting outside the city.  Then he closed the city gate tightly again and prepared to defend Tanzhou to the death.  With the key points that this Jurchen army must capture, as well as his own life, he can hold back the overwhelming Jurchen army for a while!  Looking at the eyes of the soldiers on the city wall who were preparing to die, and looking at the cavalrymen who were also preparing to use their lives as rearguards to slow down the momentum of the Jurchen army when leaving the city.  Everyone in the hedgehog gathering outside the city understood that Tanzhou seemed to be undefeated. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The King of Yan Dingyan, everyone has lived a peaceful life for two years, why do these Jurchen Tatars come to destroy everything again?  The people cried loudly and headed south with howls.  And some of those powerful private armies were disappointed.?disperse.  Others like Zhang Huan, who were also prepared to fight to the death, shouted towards the top of the city: "Give us armor, and we can bite the Jurchen Tatars!" Soldiers were sent out from the city again, these  The red-eyed Yandi man hurriedly organized himself.  So he turned around and headed north, preparing to fight with the Jurchen Tatars for a while.  " Without Xiao Yan's management in Yandi, these Yandi men would have no choice but to surrender in front of the Jurchen military power.  He supplies food and grass, serves as a civilian husband in the Jurchen army, and is coerced by the Jurchen torrent to follow him south to fight with his fellow tribesmen.  But now these men from Yan know that there is a King of Yan standing behind them!  Their children served in the army of King Yan.  They died in battle, and King Yan would naturally take their brothers to take revenge.  Behind them is the entire Song Dynasty!  The men of Yan have been ruled by the Khitans for hundreds of years.  After finally meeting the King of Yan, the men of Yan followed the army southward to win their dignity and wealth in the Song Dynasty.  There is King Yan standing behind this, but he is a bit bloody. Who has the patience to be the slave of the Jurchen Tatars again?  The Han people of Yan, especially the armed group composed of powerful private troops, are a somewhat special group.  It goes without saying that he is tough and can fight.  It has been tempered by so many years of war.  Even an ordinary villager can train to shoot a bow.  Able to kill people.  Not to mention the many horses here.  A large number of cavalry can be raised.  But it is not true to say how deeply they feel a sense of belonging to the Song Dynasty. After all, they have been under the Khitan rule for so many years.  In the time and space without Xiao Yan, the Yandi armed group first formed an ever-victorious army that was like grass on the wall, and then was coerced and used by the Jurchens. After the Jurchen elites withered away, they formed the backbone of the Jin Kingdom's military force.  Then the Mongols destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty.  Yandi and Hebei Han'er are also the main component of the Mongolian army.  But luckily at this moment, Xiao Yan was born.  His fame and fortune originated from the land of Yan, and he was from the north.  Naturally, he has been branded as a representative of Yandi Haner.  After entering the Song Dynasty, Xiao Yan rose to power again and now became the most powerful King of Yan.  The Han'er from Yan State were collected and trained in batches by Xiao Yan, and finally they were ordered to go straight to Bianliang.  Because of this, although Yan Di Haner did not have much sense of belonging to the Song Dynasty.  But they have a strong sense of belonging to Xiao Yan!  Not to mention the Song Dynasty where the Jurchens were ferocious and barbaric, and Xiao Yan had at least some power.  But they have the same roots and the same race, and are richer and more civilized.  Is it even necessary to choose which end to fight for?  Therefore, in this time and space with Xiao Yan, the Han'er of Yan State did not surrender to the Jurchens.  But with red eyes, he was ready to fight to the death with the Jurchen Tatars.  The people of the Han family in the Yan area also abandoned their families and careers regardless of everything. Under the desperate protection of their own children, they supported the old and the young, and embarked on the road back to the Song Dynasty, regardless of how many casualties there would be along the way.  What supports them is one belief.  King Yan will not abandon them!  Their children are still under the command of King Yan!  Zhang Huan divided these powerful private soldiers from Yan into small groups and turned around and headed north.  It is impossible to stop the power of the goddess, but it is possible to use familiar terrain to spread out among the countryside and mountains, copy those vassal army squads, burn villages, fill up wells, and rescue the people!  A series of intensive and fierce small-scale battles suddenly started after the Jurchen troops and horses entered the Yan region in large numbers.  Throughout the entire border area of ??Youyan, there are men from the Han family of Yan riding horses and holding bows, fighting everywhere!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zhang slowly gasped, looking around  He looked around blankly. The fighting just now consumed so much energy that he didn't know where he was for a moment.  A loud roar from Jiaerlang came from behind: "Go west quickly! It will get dark soon, so just take one more step to the west! Once you enter the mountains, turn south. When you get to Yizhou, there will naturally be people  Arrangements will be made for you to wait!" A water hyacinth was suddenly handed over from the side. Zhang Xu took it blankly, but did not open the stopper.  The man passing the water hyacinth was in his early forties, with strong bones and long, messy beard.  He took it back silently and tried to pull out the stopper. His hands were covered in blood. He pulled it out twice but it just slipped. In the end, he simply cut off the mouth of the gourd with a knife.  This sound brought Zhang Huan back to his senses.  The man handed the gourd over again and asked in a low voice: "How long are we going to fight? Since we turned around and headed north, brothers have joined our team from time to time in the past few days, and now there are only so many people left." Zhang Huan  Turning around, he looked at him coldly: "Are you afraid?" The man smiled and said, "I'm afraid of a bird. One of my two sons is a regular soldier and followed General Yu southward. The other died in the Wubao without escaping.  For these two sons, I will fight to the death with the Jurchen Tatars I just want to ask, how long can Tanzhou hold on? " Their small group has actually moved to the southwest of Tanzhou, but it is not far away.  The state and city administrative offices are very close.  It's only a distance of seventeen or eighty miles.  The location of the village where they are located is veryAlthough the sun was already setting in the west, the visibility was quite high and one could clearly see all around the Prefectural Government Office.  The endless Jurchen army tents have surrounded the city government on three sides.  Countless ant-like men and horses were running outside the army, looting in all directions.  There are countless troops and horses coming from the north, and there seems to be no end to them.  Looking from here, the city wall of the Prefectural Government Office is as low as lying on the ground, just a circle of black lines.  Around the city wall, seven or eight stone-throwing instruments have been erected. From time to time, small black dots flash through the air and hit the city wall, stirring up a little bit of dust and smoke.  Under such an overwhelming Jurchen army, it seemed as if the prefectural government office could collapse with just one foot.  The Jurchen army also deliberately released its troops to the south to give the Tanzhou defenders a way to escape.  If the Tanzhou defenders abandon the city earlier, the Jurchen army will be able to hold this key point of retreat in their hands earlier, and can continue to move south with confidence and boldness.  The defenders in the city can be chased and solved in the field. Even if they can't be solved, it's not a big deal.  Anyway, what the Jurchen army wants at this moment is to quickly capture the city and seize the key points to support the southward army.  But the defenders in the city had no intention of escaping.  Zhang Xu sighed, raised the gourd and took a swig of water. Then he licked the corner of his mouth and cheered up: "Zhi Niang, we won't leave until Tanzhou falls. Kill a few more damn Tatars!" That guy!  He asked again: "Where is Tanzhou's fallen city?" Zhang Huan replied loudly: "Go south, walk all the way, fight all the way! The King of Yan will definitely defend Hebei, and we will fight to the death with the Jurchen Tatars in Hebei! The King of Yan will eventually  Bring my brothers and kill them!" (To be continued)
