In the middle hall of the Dawang Mansion in the South Courtyard of Youzhou City, there were about twenty important officials discussing the matter behind closed doors. Everyone looked nervous and solemn, just because just in the early morning of this day, the military newspaper in front came, and King Xi Xiao Gan was defeated in Zhuozhou, and the city was completely acquired by the Song army.

Yes, someone had already escaped back to Youzhou before Sun Tu and the others, and sent this emergency military information to the two sons of Yelu Xiongge who are now in Youzhou, Yelu Heguang and Yelu Heyuan. However, these two princes who were entrusted with important tasks were only in their early twenties. They were inexperienced and were in a panic, so they quickly invited many important officials in the city to the royal palace to discuss countermeasures. At the same time, they also blocked this news that might disrupt the hearts of the army and the people, so the city gate did not know that such a change had occurred on the front line, giving the Shandong army a chance to get into the city.

The bigger mistake they made was to gather together today, so that all the guards in Youzhou City were all headless. Even though the Song army had entered the city, causing great turmoil, the guards and security personnel were still in chaos and could not make the most appropriate response at all, which made the entire Youzhou City more thoroughly chaotic. The Song cavalry rushed around and killed the Liao soldiers along the way, but no Liao soldiers could form a decent resistance.

At this moment, a greater crisis had come to the heads of these Liao officials and nobles who were left behind in Nanjing. They were in trouble, and suddenly, they heard the sound of murder from the front yard outside the noisy rain. Before they could call people, the closed door of the hall was knocked open. Several guards shouted in panic: "Prince, dear nobles, it's not good, Song army, the Song army is coming into the palace!"

"What?" Everyone present changed their colors and stood up in an instant. Now the Nanjing garrison general Xiao Fan pulled out his sword and shouted, "But is the spy in the city causing trouble?" As he said that, he was about to rush out.

"No, no, it was the Song cavalry who suddenly rushed into the city..." Before this person finished speaking, there were screams in the yard in front of him, and then the senior officials and nobles of Liao who had gathered in front of the hall saw a scene that scared and incredible to them-

Several cavalry rushed over from the front yard like a whirlwind. As the spears and spears swung, they killed the guards who were blocking their way forward. As soon as one of the soldiers jumped over and tried to attack, they were penetrated by a spear that suddenly stabbed through their chests. The whole person was even more as if they were attacked by a heavy hammer. They screamed and threw them out, and smashed them into the crowd. The blood and the rain kept splashing down, which was really so terrifying.

At this moment, these people were completely frightened by the terrifying scene in front of them. Whether it was Yelu Xiongge's two sons or other noble people, although their identities were noble, their ability and courage to fight were obviously far from comparable to those of the Liao army on the front line.

You should know that the Liao Kingdom is actually like the Song Dynasty. It has not really had a large-scale battle for more than a hundred years. For these nobles who grew up in peacetime, such cruel life-and-death battles were just heard of, and they never thought that one day would happen to them. So in this moment, they were completely shocked by the Song cavalry that kept rushing in. Although the guards in the royal palace were reluctant to resist, they were far from the opponent of the elite Song army with a strong momentum and a high fighting spirit. In this way, they were not the elites of the Liao army. The real elites had long been led south by Yelu Xiongge and Xiao Gan to fight against the Song army. Only the first-class soldiers left behind in Nanjing.

Secondly, they were suddenly attacked and had not yet calmed down from the shock. Moreover, their weapons and armor were not complete, so they could only be considered hasty to respond. The infantry battle formation naturally could not withstand the continuous impact of the Song cavalry. It was also a pity that the heavy rain today made the Song army's crossbows unable to exert force. Otherwise, more than a hundred people here would have been shot and killed long ago.

The last point and the most important thing is that they are at a disadvantage in their military strength. Although the total strength of Youzhou City is still 20,000 to 30,000, it is scattered all over the city, and there are only one or two hundred guards in the palace. However, the Song army broke into the gate and entered the gate, but there were only five or six hundred. They were all like wolves and tigers, and almost one single charge, killing nearly half of the Liao soldiers. The others could only fight and retreat, and the collapse was close to them.

At this time, the Song army had already seen the Liao nobles gathered in front of the hall, and immediately their spirits were even more refreshed: "It is God who really helps me. As long as everyone here is taken down, the Youzhou defenders will collapse without fighting. My long-lasting wish of the Song Dynasty will be rewarded today!"

Everyone had this thought, and the attacks and killings of the soldiers became more and more fierce. Even Sun Tu, who had been retaining before, picked up the reins and leaped up the horse. In the sword roll in his hand, two enemies who were blocking the road screamed and fell, and he was about to rush up the steps.

"The Song people are so brave. Let me come and meet you later!" Seeing that the situation was critical and consciously harboring the burden, Xiao Fanqiang suppressed his panic in his heart. With a loud shout, he had already jumped to meet him. The knife in his hand turned into a white light, splitting the rain curtain in front of him and slashed straight towards Sun Tu.

Seeing this, Sun Tu's desire to fight suddenly became ignited. He also shouted loudly, clamped his legs tightly on the horse's belly, controlled the horse's speed, and rushed forward horizontally, slashing directly at the opponent's knife.

In this junction, the two almost collided head-on, and the angle of the knife was so consistent. The two swords hit one place with a loud bang, and sparks suddenly exploded. In the momentum, Xiao Fan's lack of strength was instantly exposed. After all, he only relied on his own strength to welcome him, while Sun Tu came with a rushing force with a horse. This impulse was more than twice that of him.

With his arms numb, Xiao Fan's knife in his hand was slashed to the top, and his body lost balance. He groaned and threw it back like a kite with a broken string. At this moment, Sun Tu cut out with another knife while retracting the knife, and the war horse under his crotch was still sweeping at full speed, which made him easily catch up with Xiao Fan's figure.

Xiao Fan, who had no room for evasion, could only watch the thunder-like knife slashing straight into his neck. With his scream, the blade had entered his left neck and penetrated from his right neck without any obstacle. With the sound of puffing, the big head had been separated from his body.

A desperate and shrill scream ejaculated from his mouth. Xiao Fan was completely overwhelmed, but his head drew an arc in the air. Finally, with a thump, it fell into the arms of Yelu Heyuan who had been stunned by the killing in front of him. His eyes were staring straight at him.

"Ah..." After a while, Yelu Heyuan screamed, his body softened, and he fell to the ground with a thunderous sound. There was a large stream of liquid coming from his lower body with a fishy smell, and he was directly scared by the head and lost his restraint.

The reactions of the others were not much better than that of him. They were all so scared that they trembled all over and their faces turned pale. Not to mention fighting to the death like Xiao Fan, they couldn't even move.

Sun Tu was already in charge of his horse and came to the corridor. The steel knife still dripping blood in his hand suddenly swung and pointed at everyone in front of him, shouting loudly: "If you want to survive, quickly abandon your weapons and surrender on the ground. My Song soldiers will not kill the surrendered army!"

The other Song troops had already killed the guards in front of them at this moment, either dead or injured, and then quickly surrounded them from both sides, and shouted loudly: "Those who abandon their weapons and kneel down are exempt from death, and those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"

Rushi only shouted twice, and these people finally reacted. After hesitating for a moment, some people weakened their knees and knelt down with a plop. With the first one to kneel down, the people behind them no longer had psychological pressure. In the blink of an eye, about twenty people had all knelt on the ground, and a bunch of weapons that had not yet been unsheathed were thrown in front of them. None of these nobles from the Liao Kingdom dared to resist again.

Seeing these people reacted so, Sun Tu and others were calm and felt very sad. On the way here, even after earning the Youzhou City Gate and entering the city, they did not dare to think that their next battle would be as smooth as it is now. They actually encountered only a small amount of resistance and took down this large number of Liao army members. And in terms of the number, they should be one of the few people in charge in Youzhou City. Even if there are fish that have escaped the net, they are afraid that they will not be able to make waves again.

These existences, which were regarded as strong enemies by everyone in the past, are so vulnerable, greedy for life and fear of death. This gap between the two sides is really unexpected. Is this still the old enemy of the Liao people who have been scared for a hundred years and hope to defeat them one day?

Now it seems that not only the Song army has become weak to a terrible level, but the Liao people who have always established their country with martial arts are actually the same. Although the Liao army on the front line is still so brave to fight, in fact, except for those tens of thousands of people, the Liao people behind them have long lost the blood and fearlessness that the Khitan ancestors should have. At this time, they are no different from those nobles of the Song Kingdom who are greedy for life and fearlessness.

No wonder the Jurchens can sweep the entire Liao Kingdom in a devastating way as soon as the Jurchens rise. After all, it is not how powerful the Jurchens are. The Liao people themselves are too unsuccessful. A century of peace has long destroyed the foundation of the Liao people!

"Charge all of them, then pull them outside to shock the whole city and help our soldiers take over the whole city of Youzhou as soon as possible!" Sun Tu quickly calmed down and issued an order quickly. Taking down the royal palace and the officials here was only the first step. If you really want to control the entire Youzhou City in your own hands, you have to settle all the Liao troops in the city. Capturing these nobles of the Liao Kingdom alive created extremely favorable conditions for the subsequent actions.
