Chapter 272 Fanzhou

Qu Xifan pretended to be helpless and shook his head gently and said, "Okay! But as for how much food I borrowed, I can't guarantee it! After all, although I got the prince's trust, it was because the prince was not familiar with the Anhuazhou incident...."

Luo Baonan and Liao Ao were like Qu Xifan's words, so what would you have any opinions? They said generously: "No matter what the result is, the people of Xia Anhuazhou will remember the kindness of their husband!"

Since the conditions have been agreed, the first condition has naturally been agreed. It depends on the situation!

"Feng Chang's wife is quite brave and has three hundred guards under her command. I can't take it for a while. Mr. Wan Wang will take a while later!" Luo Baonan said sincerely to Qu Xifan.

Qu Xifan said: "I naturally know this. It's just this matter. I have to go back and work with the prince, otherwise I'll miss the prince's big affairs. So, these people have to be taken down within five days. At that time, the minister... Oh no! Now I should be called the governor! If you send an envoy to send a head, the prince will naturally understand your loyalty!"

Although Luo Baonan was a little regretful, he still expressed his understanding.

On that day, Luo Baonan was entertaining District Xifan in the Yue Palace and gave him a reward. It turned out that District Xifan only said that it was 500 jin of money, but suddenly realized that he had guessed it was wrong. It was actually 500 taels of golden sand! Jinsha is not red gold, and red gold means pure gold, and Jinsha needs further purification. Although the gold content of one liang of golden sand generally reaches at least 75%, in fact, one liang of golden sand is only about seven jin of red gold. After all, Jinsha still needs to be purified, and there is a labor cost here.

Even so, Qu Xifan was secretly amazed. One or two red gold can be exchanged for ten jin of coins on Guangnan West Road. In other words, these five hundred taels of gold sand are equivalent to three thousand five hundred coins!

In addition, Luo Baonan spared no effort to win over Qu Xifan. When Qu Xifan left, he personally went to the city gate to give him a gift, but also gave him a top-quality horse. In fact, this horse is not tall, but only four feet and six inches. In the Central Plains, although it is considered a good horse, it is definitely not related to the top-quality horse.

But on Guangnan West Road, which is rich in hordes, this is indeed a top-notch horse! Qu Xifan was even more happy, and bowed to Luo Baonan with a smile, and then rushed to Longshui City with a quick horse.

Before Qu Xifan arrived in Longshui City, he had already met Zhao Jin who was sending troops to attack Fanzhou.

On the battlefield, Zhao Qian stood on a high slope, riding a queyue black horse. The majestic steel lion helmet on his head and the lifelike relief lion, which was intimidating. Long red tassels hung behind his head, flying in the wind, like fire, and a pair of iron leaves were hung into fish scale armor; a golden beast-faced belt was tied with a golden steel belt on his waist, and a round and round heart protection mirror was made of mirrors on both sides; a crimson flower robe was caged, with two green velvet tie hanging on it; and a slanted leather air-strip boots were worn below.

Although the battlefield was a little chaotic, Zhao Qian was like the sun in the sky. No matter what the situation was, he was the most dazzling existence.

After reporting his name, Qu Xifan came to Zhao Feng, his eyes couldn't help but condense slightly. Wood switched? How could this guy be by the prince's side?

Although he was puzzled, Qu Xifan did not dare to ask Zhao Qian. He immediately turned over and dismounted respectfully, bowed and said, "Students meet the prince."

"Oh! It's Shaobao! I'm back so soon, it seems that things are going well!" Zhao Qian slightly shifted part of his attention from the battlefield to Qu Xifan and said with some distraction.

"Thank you, the prince, Hong Fu, this trip went smoothly, Luo Baonan has agreed to surrender! The student's cousin has also stayed in the Anhuazhou area halfway. I believe there will be good news back soon!" Qu Xifan said respectfully.

"This is your ability. I don't believe in any blessings!" Zhao Qian waved his whip disapprovingly.

After a pause, Zhao Qin continued, "I'll talk about the matter in Anhuazhou later. Anyway, things go well, and it doesn't matter if I hear it later. Let's take a look with me here and see how my warriors of the Song Dynasty conquered this city like this."

Fanzhou is said to be a city, but in fact it is just a copycat!

It is built on the top of a mountain and divided into inner city, outer city, and tooth city. It sounds very large, but in fact it is all divided by wooden walls or even wooden fences. It is completely different from the cities of the Song Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to evaluate it differently.

There were hundreds of barbarian soldiers standing on the wooden wall, holding simple hunting bows, bent their bows and arrows like a storm, and arrows were shot out at the fastest speed.

Outside the wooden wall, about 200 Song soldiers were pushing siege weapons to launch an attack. Just looking at these 200 Song soldiers made people feel creepy.

Not to mention everyone's helmet and armor, it can be seen that it is not wearing one armor, at least two. The smoothly polished armor leaves flash brightly in the sun. Three siege cars are slowly advancing. The siege cars are different from the house-shaped siege cars. Large wooden shields are erected on the front, and river mud is applied to the wooden shield to prevent enemy rockets from igniting the siege cars.

The crossbowmen wearing light armor hid behind the siege car. Especially the crossbowmen, the crossbowmen have been winding for a long time and must be wound on the spot. It is easy to be taken care of by the enemy archers, resulting in a sharp drop in the rate of fire. However, with this special siege car, after shooting a crossbow arrow, they immediately hide behind the siege car and wind it, which is very stress-free.

The crossbow arrows shot out by the powerful crossbow were terrifying, and the whistling sound was loud. When it landed on the wooden wall, a small half of it immediately sank into the wooden wall. When it landed on the barbarian soldiers, a single arrow and two holes came directly, piercing through the barbarian soldiers' unarmored body.

The barbarians' arrow rain seems huge, but they just use bones as arrows to fall on the Song soldiers. How powerless it is. On the battlefield, you can often see a Song soldier moving forward with more than ten arrows inserted into them. Or it is more appropriate to use it to hang them, because those arrows only penetrate the first armor and lose their strength.

Your own attack cannot cause damage to the other party, and if the opponent's attack is a little relaxed, it means losing a living life.

The huge gap caused the morale of the barbarians in Fanzhou to plummet. The siege vehicles advanced near the wooden wall and rumbling for more than ten times. The row of wooden walls immediately collapsed. The barbarians on the wooden wall screamed and fell along with the wooden wall. Although the wooden wall was not high, no barbarians were killed unless they were hit by wood.

The subsequent Song soldiers took these lucky ones and rushed in with sharp weapons in their hands, one after another, and one barbarian soldier after another fell in a pool of blood.

"Fanzhou is settled!" Mu Huan, who should not be called Yang Qing now, said to Zhao Chen calmly. "Here, I want to congratulate the prince!"

Zhao Qian glanced at Yang Qing, smiled, and said nothing.

Qu Xifan couldn't help but look at Yang Qing, and then looked at Zhao Qin's back. He suddenly felt confused and felt a little bit of a crisis. This wood swap (Qu Xifan didn't know the real name of Yang Qing) was the former town [***] teacher of Anhua Man. He had only a lot more information about Anhua Man than himself. If he lost the advantage of familiarity with the "Anhua Man's affairs", could he quickly emerge with the prince?

Just as Qu Xifan's mind was flowing, "Woo! Woo! Woo!" A shrill horn sounded suddenly, and the sound was like a seriously injured wolf was whining.

Zhao Qian's eyes narrowed, and the gate of Fanzhou City, which was originally closed, suddenly opened at the same time as the horn sounded.

Under the sunshine, a red horse, wearing vermilion armor, red scarf, and fire cloud boots. The horse is like a fiery fire, and the people are like the scorching sun, like a rushing flame, heading straight for Zhao Feng. Behind it, there are more than a dozen cavalry and dozens of strong barbarian soldiers.

The Song army in front was caught off guard, and a team of Song soldiers met the red-armored barbarian general. The barbarian general held a three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand, which was extremely brave. He had already killed two Song soldiers in a row. With his lead, the barbarian soldiers under his command were highly motivated. This team of barbarian soldiers, who were not large in number, cut the Song army blocking them in half like a peerless blade, with a rough and powerful beauty.

"I'm wondering why there are only a hundred and ten barbarian soldiers on the wall of Fanzhou. They were thinking about stabbing me. The idea was good. The barbarian general seemed brave. But they were too underestimated by my Song army, right? Who would go and meet that guy for a while!" Zhao Qian narrowed his eyes, flashed with fierce light, and his voice was cold.

The generals knew that Zhao Jin was already a little angry. It was not only because of the loss of that team of Song troops, but also because the Song army was too arrogant and careless before, so they were defeated by the enemy.

Under Longshui City, the Song army defeated 25,000 barbarians with nine hundred and nine hundred. With this proud achievement, the Song army seemed to be as morale as rainbow, but there was a sense of arrogance hidden below.

In fact, Zhao Qian was not as angry as he showed. After being angry for a moment, Zhao Qian secretly thanked the red-armored barbarian general. He also discovered that he was already proud without realizing it. He was like this, so the generals and soldiers under his command could imagine it! As the saying goes, a arrogant soldier will be defeated. It is better to suffer some setbacks now than to suffer setbacks when attacking Anhuazhou!

At this moment, Yang Wenguang drove forward, clasped his fists at Zhao Chen on the back of the horse, and said, "Prince, the barbarian general is so arrogant and really hates him. Let the last general take action and pick up his head and give it to the prince!"

However, Zhao Qian couldn't help but feel a little bit loving and hesitated for a moment, and said, "Try not to kill this guy. Although this guy is hateful, he is a powerful general and has a bit of wit."

"The last general obeys the order!" Yang Wenguang clasped his fists on the horse's back and led a team of soldiers out.

When Yang Wenguang got closer, he happened to meet the Red Armored Barbarian General and defeated another team of Song troops, and screamed in Barbarian language excitedly. The Song soldiers retreated slowly in horror, and the barbarian soldiers rushed to the scene. The Song army retreated step by step, which was a strong contrast with the previous unstoppable momentum.

Yang Wenguang was so angry! He rushed forward with a bright silver spear and roared: "Don't be rampant by the barbarians! Take me a shot!"

Seeing this, the red-armored barbarian general lit up his eyes and roared in stiff official words: "A dog official finally comes, look at me, head of the head!"

Two horses meet and two weapons are raised at the same time.

"Clang! Clang!" In a short moment, Yang Wenguang and the Red Armored Manifest General had already fought with the weapons in his hands twice. However, no one could do anything to anyone, but both of them were shocked and their wrists were secretly hurt.

Yang Wenguang secretly exclaimed in his heart: I didn’t expect that this guy is so strong that the three-pointed and two-edged sword in his hand is much heavier than the bright silver spear in my hand. If you continue to fight, I will suffer the loss after all. No! You have to use a strategy!

"The dog official is amazing! But I'm not bad either, I'm just going to take a knife!" The red-armored martyr turned his horse's head and faced Yang Wenguang, and opened his bloody mouth. He swung the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand, and rushed towards Yang Wenguang.

Yang Wenguang was not willing to be outdone. He let go of the reins of the horse with his left hand and controlled the horse with his feet. With a roar, the silver spear in his hand stabbed out, and halfway through the way, it shook in the air. When the red armored man was approaching, several brilliant spear flowers that looked like pear blossoms had already shook out. The flowers looked beautiful, but they contained the danger of killing people's lives.

The red-armored barbarian general knew it was powerful, so he let out a roar like a beast, and the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand slashed from top to bottom. It was like a Milky Way falling into the mortal world, and it was like a silver moon falling into the human world.

Although Yang Wenguang's gun flower is beautiful, it is better than the word "smart". The power is inevitably dispersed. The red-armored general cut down with a knife, but it was like a heavy rain hitting pear blossoms. The gun flower disappeared in an instant.

"Your Majesty, this guy is really hard to deal with. Let the general go back!" Seeing that Yang Wenguang was below, Shen Qizong couldn't help but be anxious. He hurried forward and took a patterned steel gun to fight with a fight with a fighting spirit.

Zhao Qian thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, I believe in Zhongrong, wait a moment!"

Let’s talk about Yang Wenguang, after the red-armored barbarian general broke the gun flower, he immediately drove the horse to avoid it. The momentum immediately fell, and the red-armored barbarian general shouted excitedly. The two turned their horses to fight again, and they were entangled, with four arms crisscrossing, eight horse hooves snatched. The swords snatched each other, and sparks burst out, like blooming sparks, and like a falling galaxy.

The two fought for more than ten rounds, and although they did not decide the winner, Zhao Qian and the others could actually see that Yang Wenguang was at a disadvantage.

At this moment, Yang Wenguang suddenly screamed, his left arm was cut and his armored leaves splashed. Yang Wenguang hurriedly turned his horse's head and fled in panic.

What would the red-armored barbarian general be willing? He roared and drove the horse to chase him.

Zhao Qian was also shocked. This red-armored barbarian general is too powerful? Although Yang Wenguang's martial arts skills are weaker than himself, he is also considered a top-notch general in the army.

Shen Qizong was afraid that Yang Wenguang would leave his surname, so he rushed to rescue without waiting for Zhao Jin's order. "Prince, the last general will go to save General Yang!"

Just as I said this, the battlefield was surging, and the situation of the battle suddenly became upside down.

Yang Wenguang, who was originally chased, suddenly turned around and shot. The red-armored barbarian general thought that the Song general, who was beaten by him before, was actually still able to fight back?

This guy was also a hero. He suddenly saw a little cold star blooming and forced his waist to twist. The bright silver spear wiped the head of the Red Armored Barbarian General, and the original red scarf was also lifted off, and a few strands of black hair were cut into pieces. However, the crisis did not pass. The Red Armored Barbarian General avoided it, but the center of gravity was unstable. With a sound of "Oh!", he fell from the horse's back to the ground.

It’s also a pity that the red-armored general was smart enough to take his feet out of the stirrups in time. Otherwise, he would be dragged by a war horse and would be seriously injured even if he didn’t die. He would have to be killed on this battlefield.

However, the Red Armored Barbarian General had just stood up on the ground, but Yang Wenguang had already turned his horse's head while the iron was hot and came to attack the horse. Just now, the Red Armored Barbarian General's three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand had been knocked down, so he had to pull out the long sword from his waist to fight the enemy. However, before the long sword was drawn out, Yang Wenguang had already rushed over, swept the silver spear in his hand, knocking the Red Armored Barbarian General to the ground.

The nearby Song army officers and soldiers cheered, rushed up with ropes, and tied the Red Armored Man General into a rice dumpling.

Yang Wenguang laughed excitedly, and he looked like a god of war on the horse's back.

The Red Armored Barbarian General was dissatisfied, and spitted bloody saliva, and said angrily in his stiff official words: "You dog official are just cheating, you are really not a good person! You won't be glorious, I am not convinced! You are not convinced!"

"I don't know if I'm not tired of soldiers? What a barbarian!" Yang Wenguang stopped laughing on the horse's back and said coldly.

The red-armored barbarian general was still unconvinced and started to curse.

Yang Wenguang's face turned dark. If it weren't for the concern that Zhao Jin wanted to capture the barbarian alive, Yang Wenguang would have shot the barbarian without saying a word. He would not have been rude to the nonsense here, which made him feel upset.

The red-armored barbarian general was captured alive. The other barbarian soldiers who originally wanted to raid Zhao Jin were naturally lost. They were surrounded by a large army. They either surrendered or were killed on the spot, and no one could escape.

Fanzhou was naturally conquered by the Song army without any doubt. This banished state with a population of tens of thousands was removed from the list.

Zhao Jin asked someone to burn all the so-called Fanzhou city and escort the captured Fanzhou people all the way to the plains. In the near future, fifteen villages will be built here, and these villages will be composed of Fanzhou people and the people who were displaced in this war. Some conflicts may break out in the early stage, but Zhao Jin believes that in twenty or thirty years, there will be no such term as Fanzhou people. Fanzhou people will become Song people who speak official language and wear gorgeous clothes.

Of course, these are all future events. Now Zhao Qin led his troops to the bank of Fanzhou to the Longshui River, and more than 3,000 Song troops and the vassal army started to set up camps. Zhao Qin's central army tent was naturally the first to build it, and when it came inside, Qu Xifan reported to Zhao Qin word by word, everything about his mission to Anhuazhou.

Speaking of the latter, Qu Xifan respectfully took out the skin containing five hundred taels of golden sand and said, "Prince, golden sand is all inside. The student accepted it at that time, so he thought about using it for the prince to use military service!"

Zhao Qian was not polite, and this war came suddenly. Zhao Qian did not prepare much. Although he was victorious, the money was indeed in short supply. Fortunately, the first batch of money and food from the merchants had been delivered, otherwise Zhao Qian would not have the confidence to take advantage of the victory and seize the root of the rebellion - Anhuazhou.

With these five hundred taels of golden sand, Zhao Jin naturally increased his confidence.
