Chapter 416 is the time when pride bursts out

Yulei floating clouds become ancient and modern 1

The whole south wall is in a fierce battle, the south smoke gate is the focus of contention, the sound of drums is sky-high, the Song army's crossbow arrows are like locusts, and the golden army at the head of the city does not dare to move. 『』

He was also mobilizing troops and horses to attack the Song army on both flanks. Since the Song army had arrived at the city and lost Cai Shui as a barrier, both wings were all exposed to the Jin army's iron cavalry for a few beats, which was very conducive to the plundering of the kidnappers and horses. The defense of one wing is simple, but the defense of two wings is much more difficult, and the difficulty of mobilizing troops and horses has increased more than tenfold.

However, Wang Xiu had already prepared, and a group of ships that went upriver from Caishui carried a large amount of equipment, and the Song army quickly built several defensive camps and formed an army formation to fight to the death. Feng Yuan was on the periphery, and from time to time attacked the Jin army with horse teams, and each time they rushed to the Jin army to assemble, so that they had to start a battle too early, unable to carry out a powerful blow to the two flanks of the Song army.

Outside the Xuande Gate, Wu Qi, Mo Yi and Fan Qiong, under the escort of five hundred elite Jurchen cavalry, forcibly knocked on the palace gate.

Mo Yi shouted: "The ministers invite the queen and the prison to go out of the city to meet with the officials." ”

At this time, tens of thousands of officials and people gathered outside the Xuande Gate, and more than 100 Banzhi guards had weapons in their hands, but no one dared to step forward to stop them.

Facing Sun Fu, who was pale and trembling all over, Wu Ge complained in a low voice: "If the prime minister can use the strategy of the last general, there will be no today." ”

It turned out that a few days ago, he had admonished that now the army of King Qin outside the city was advancing, and he led hundreds of dead soldiers to protect the prison country to fight out of the siege and join the army of King Qin, and go south to establish the dynasty together. It's a pity that Sun Fu, as a minister of Tuogu, is a scholarly man, and he doesn't want the prince to take such a risk, and wants to hide the prince from the people to wait for the arrival of King Qin's army, but no one dares to take the prince in after looking for five days.

In the face of the Jurchens, the Zhao family father and son did everything desperately, making people see no hope, so naturally no one made a bet.

At this moment, Sun Fu saw that the captives and traitors were attacking the prince, and he was angry and regretful in his heart, but in the face of the swords and guns of the Jurchen cavalry, he could only dare to be angry and dare not speak.

Seeing that the soldiers and civilians were silent, and the sound of killing in the south direction shook the sky, Wu Qi felt more and more that he had to make a decision immediately. Said softly to Fan Qiong: "The situation is not good, Wang Xiu is attacking the city, the captain can force the guards to enter the palace, let's get out of the city quickly." ”

Fan Qiong heard the sound of drums coming from the south wall, and his heart was also up and down, and after being reminded by Wu Qi, he immediately realized that he should hurry up and get out of the city, don't make twists and turns, and shouted: "I'll go in person." ”

After that, he discussed a few words with a Jin army Meng'an Jin, and his attitude was quite respectful, and the Meng'an Jin beckoned more than 100 cavalry to dismount, drive away the guards of the gatekeeper class, and follow Fan Qiong into the Xuande Gate.

"Xianggong, take advantage of the prison country to come out, and the last general will lead the dead to rob and kill out of the city gate." Wu Ge made his last effort.

Sun Fu let out a long sigh, his face was like ashes, and he was silent.

But as soon as the order to siege the city was issued, a hundred brave men in the army immediately enlisted, and they took off their heavy armor, hurriedly drank a large bowl of magnificent wine, and rushed forward with their weapons.

At this time, Wang Xiu arrived at the forefront, encouraged the soldiers to move forward bravely, and attacked the city as a strategy, even if he took the city wall, he would lose a large number of officials, but he had no time, even if he was killed or wounded, he must seize the city gate.

With his personal battle, greatly boosted morale, the Song army officials all fought for their lives, the people in the previous year fell, the people behind were replaced, one by one the officials wearing heavy armor, climbed rapidly to the head of the city, and several siege ladders also slowly approached the city wall.

These siege ladders were cumbersome and could not be transported over long distances, so they were disassembled into parts and transported by ship to temporarily assemble them. The army attacked the city in a hurry, the time was very urgent, and there were not too many formations at all, so a few units were temporarily transferred to Nanxunmen, and the rest stayed in Caihe Water Gate.

However, these ladders are much higher than the simple ladder defenses, once they reach the city wall, directly put down the gangplank, the officials can rush to the city, and they can put in fifty or sixty people at a time, and they can also go up from the protective passage one after another.

The crossbowmen of the Song army continued to fire crossbow arrows under the city, and the rows of dense arrow curtains did not shoot much of the Jin army at the head of the city, but they posed a great threat to the Jin army in the city, and people were constantly killed by powerful crossbow arrows.

"Damn, rush with Lao Tzu." Wang De's eyes were red, like a purebred rabbit, he resolutely took off his iron armor, holding a horse chopping knife in one hand and a side card in the other, almost shirtless.

Li Changsheng also took off his armor, followed behind Wang De, and rushed to the head of the city to kill, these officials saw that the general was working hard, and the one who still cherished his life, and his eyes were red one by one, and he unloaded his armor and charged with "whoosh", forming a torrent of human flesh.

Qin Min was not impulsive, but looked around, chose the ground where the Jin army was suppressed, and decisively climbed a frontal ladder and quickly climbed up.

However, arrows are not long-eyed, and Wang Xiu strictly forbade the use of rockets or heavy stone throwers, but bed crossbows and other long-range projection weapons almost covered the city walls, and both the Jin soldiers and the common people were shot in groups without exception. The boundless bloody wind and rain stimulated people almost hysterically, and more people were like headless flies, scurrying around in panic. The order at the head of the city became more and more chaotic.

In the face of the chaotic situation, the generals of the Jin army had no choice but to let them lead the army to charge, which was the right thing to do, but it was really reluctant to defend the city.

Although the city is still resisting, it is disorganized and chaotic.

Wang Xiu looked at the wave after wave of arrows, the Song army officials continued to approach the city wall, and began to ascend the city, he laughed heartily and shouted: "Bring wine." ”

Xu Zhong hurriedly handed over the wine jug, he drank wildly, threw away the wine jug and picked up the drumstick, and glanced at the city head with high spirits.

The reason why he arrived in Kaifeng City to launch an attack, he took a fancy to the Jin army in the field, but had no experience in defending the city, at this time the Jin army was not decades later, a group of barbaric old hats, so that he made the biggest bet, won the south wall in one go, and gave full play to the strengths of the Song army.

"Give me a drive, and I will cheer up the whole army."

Xu Zhong was taken aback and hurriedly said, "My lord, it's too dangerous." "It's just a joke, how can anyone drive a car and beat a drum, isn't this a target for archers

"Bring Lao Tzu's five-party flag, I want to inspire the morale of the whole army and strengthen my might." Wang Xiu laughed loudly, but with a strong sense of alcohol.

Xu Zhong's face was embarrassed, and he still carried the five-party flag, this is not looking for death, so he couldn't help but persuade: "My lord, crossbow arrows don't have long eyes, adults are involved in the whole army, and they must not take risks." ”

"." Wang Xiu was furious, kicked Xu Zhong away, and said sharply: "Insert the banner for me, the guards will follow, and those who don't will get out of Lao Tzu." ”

Xu Zhong's face changed, and before he could speak, he heard Wang Xiuyou say sharply: "Give me a way forward." ”

Mide swallowed his saliva, and even the guards of other people were kicked over, if he didn't hurry up and drive, his head was afraid that he would have to move, so he hurriedly shook the reins of his horse and shouted: "Drive." ”

The two groups of war horses galloped unusually, and the drum chariot chariot shook its bones and kicked up dust, and galloped away under the city.

Xu Zhong gritted his teeth, spat fiercely, and said sharply: "There is a kind of horse, damn it, give the Wufang flag to Lao Tzu." ”

A group of guards, not a single seed, followed behind Xu Zhong, riding their horses to raise heavy dust.

Wang Xiu galloped back and forth more than 200 steps under the city, the five-party flag fluttered in the wind, he picked up the heavy drumstick, and the passionate war drums resounded in the sky, full of fierce killing momentum.

Xu Zhong didn't understand, and the guards didn't understand, he wasn't reckless, let alone dead. The founding of the Great Song Dynasty was a martial arts style and a farmer, and generals led the charge to abound, and there was no shortage of them in the Zhenzong era, and the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were often able to boost their morale and overcome the strong with the weak. It's a pity that after Zhirenzong, the generals gradually paid attention to seriousness and no longer approached the front line, and boosting morale became a, relying on gold and silver rewards to make history work hard.

Material incentives are very important, but spiritual satisfaction is equally important, and the combination of the two can create an army of tigers and wolves, Wang Xiu has a deep sense of this. A generation of famous generals in the division, 40,000 elite western troops, why would the army be defeated like a mountain is not that the generals are behind, and the light troops can be scarce, there is no money to reward the crossbowmen, and the guide zhì army is disheartened.

What he had to do was to promise a heavy reward, go to the front line in person, be with all the officials and soldiers within 200 steps, feel the opportunity of life and death, and maximize his combat effectiveness.

"Your Excellency, it's your lordship."

"Your Excellency personally cheers for us."

"Adults can risk arrows and stones, how can we fall behind, and the brethren rush forward."

The officials who were fiercely attacking the city saw the drum cart rolling up in the dust and sand, and a man in a purple robe was rolling up his sleeves and beating the war drums.

None of the commanders could come to the city to beat the drums, at least in their military career, Wang Xiu was the commander of the 100,000-strong army, but he appeared under the city walls, which made them suddenly feel that they were not consumables to be sacrificed.

Dignity, dignity that has never been there, rises from their inferiority complexes, a great commander of Jinshi and the first is with them, they are robes, they live and die together, there is no need to say anything more, it is worth repaying with life.

The blood-boiling officials burst out with an even higher will to fight, and with unbelievable courage, they frantically attacked the head of the city.

At this time, Wang Xiu threw down the drumstick, pulled out a straight knife, and shouted in a high-spirited manner: "Take Tokyo and drink with all the kings." ”

Xu Zhong raised the five-party flag, he and the guards kept calling Wang Xiu's words, and a wild shout under the city soared into the sky, and the excited officials could no longer control the burning fever, and climbed to the city regardless of life and death.

"Haha, kill, kill all the captives." Wang Xiu was on the drum cart that was moving slowly, and when he saw the officials who were bravely entering the city, he knew that people's hearts were available, and he couldn't help but look up and laugh. Just when he was in high spirits and his mood was agitated, he heard Xu Zhong shouting: "Be careful, adults." An arrow burst a tassel in the smoke and dust, and shot like lightning
