Chapter 422: The New Song Gate

Chapter 422 New Song Gate

"Wang Xiu occupies Kaifeng and is in charge of the country, I am afraid that when the holy oracle arrives, he will appoint a new king. Words*love*first* asked a question, the two outdated Taishang can compare to the new monarch "Wushu doesn't care about the survival of the Zhao family, he feels that Wang Xiu should not be underestimated.

Sticky Han was stunned, countless words are very reasonable, Wang Xiu robbed the prison country, that is Zhao Huan's only son, it would be a fool not to make full use of it, of course he understood Wang Xiu's wisdom, and immediately said: "This is a reason, so our advantage is no longer there, but will let this guy take the initiative." ”

He also realized that something was wrong, and said hastily: "Then use the Zhao family's father and son to send holy edicts everywhere, saying that Wang Xiu is holding the prince hostage with bad intentions, and let him be busy for a while." ”

Wushu rolled his eyes and smiled disdainfully: "Second brother, Wang Xiu did not move, but after the Zhao family's father and son were taken down by us, he suddenly sent troops north, which is strange in itself. Even if he has ulterior motives, the world knows that the Zhao family father and son are in our hands, who do you think they will support?"

Yu Li smiled disapprovingly, the answer was obvious, and he didn't believe that the Zhao family's father and son still had the ability to command the world. Few ministers are fools, and once a new monarch ascends the throne, anyone will make the best choice.

"Anyway, we have all got the gold, silver, jewelry, and beautiful wines of the Southern Dynasty, so we will send them to bow down and be vassals, so let Wang Xiu make a profit for us in the city first" Wushu said with a smile, but he was not easy in his heart.

Everyone burst into laughter, these days, they were completely immersed in enjoying the beauty and wine of the Central Plains in the camp, if it wasn't for Wang Xiu calling, they would almost have forgotten that this was a war, they were simply here to enjoy.

The meaning of Wushu is also very clear, since Wang Xiu has reversed the tide of the war, it is too possible to destroy Zhao Song, and the withdrawal of troops should be put on the agenda and then entangled, I am afraid that Wang Xiu will support the new monarch to ascend the throne, and they will fall into an embarrassing position.

Although he didn't want to enter the city very much, and he wanted to teach Wang Xiu a lesson, he was a mature general after all. The meaning of Wushu is very reasonable, the battle has been fought on this, the gold and silver beauties of Kaifeng have collected a lot, the strength of this army led by Wang Xiu is not weak, a drum is like a tiger, now relying on a strong city defense, get the support of millions of people, the Jin army does not have an absolute advantage, and the periphery is frequently reported by the Song army haunted by the Tang newspaper, a careless by others to take advantage of the loophole, then it will be worth the loss.

Not only did he think so, but other people also had this idea, at this time, the Jurchen generals present really did not mean to occupy Kaifeng City, they just wanted to quickly collect their troops and return to China, so that they could enjoy their spoils of war.

"Withdraw the people first, and I'll go to meet Wang Wenshi, an old friend." The vultures said with a smile on his face.

"Fourth, you can't make a second time in front of the two armies, and the sword doesn't have long eyes." He doesn't care about his brother's life and death, opposes vultures and adventures, and will meet old friends, and it is often the so-called old friends who kill people.

Sticky Han also disapproved of taking risks, it was too meaningless, and he also persuaded: "What the second brother said is that you must not take risks lightly, the people of the Southern Dynasty are the least trustworthy." ”

It must be said that he was very disgusted with Zhao Huan's rebellion, and he was incoherent in the policies of the Great Song Dynasty, often went back on his word, and had an instinctive disgust. Therefore, every time he conquered a city, he talked about Xinyi, and of course he probably did what he said, so many cities were preserved, at least from being organized by the Jin army.

"I had a relationship with Wang Xiu in my early years, and I knew that he was not a villain and killed two birds with one stone, I think he didn't want to fight, as long as I went, I should be able to achieve a goal that we couldn't achieve on the battlefield." The vultures have a confident smile on his face, which is very rendering.

He was stunned, he hadn't understood what the vultures were selling, but with his own understanding, he understood the medicine sold in the vultures gourd. It is impossible to get Kaifeng City back, rather than depleting troops to put themselves in danger, it is better to occupy the high-end of righteousness, sell Wang Xiu a dry favor, simply give up the city, negotiate in the future, and get the maximum benefits, I can't help but say that I am shrewd.

"Then you should be careful and bring more warriors with you." Sticky Han smiled knowingly.

"No need, but Shunchengcang needs to be heavily garrisoned, and maybe it can be sold for a good price." Wushu pouted, he didn't care.

Sticky Han glared, patted his legs and smiled, pointed at the Wushu and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you Wushu, they all say that you are rough and brave, when did you become like a person from the Southern Dynasty who calculated"

"If you want to destroy the Southern Dynasty, you have to be a Southern Dynasty." The vulture's eyes flickered, and he was ambitious.

He didn't pout, and didn't seem to care, but he didn't object either.

The opinions of the main generals of the Jin army reached a consensus, and the herald ran to the New Song Gate with a festival, and the Jin army villages outside the city were also frequently mobilized.

The inside and outside of the city gate are still fighting very fiercely, the soldiers and civilians on both sides have been thousands of corpses, the city gate is almost blocked by corpses nearly half a person high, almost all of them are stumps and broken arms, it is difficult to have a completed corpse, and the blood has actually formed a runoff.

The Jin soldiers are still killing in the city, and there are many Jin troops desperately resisting the attack of the Song army on the head of the city, they have no military orders and can only fight to the death, and retreat can only die under the butcher's knife.

The Song army also did not show weakness, with good foot combat and sophisticated weapons in their hands, they and the Jin army strangled together, the dividing line between the two sides is difficult to see the sword and sword, some are just involuntarily pushed back and forth between each other, as long as someone does not support the fall, there is no chance to even get up, and they are instantly annihilated by the flow of people.

Wang Xiu didn't expect the city gate to be so difficult to beat, think about it, it's no wonder that the other gates were captured by the Song army after entering the city with lightning speed, and the Jin army didn't react at all. The New Song Gate was the last city gate to arrive, and the generals who were defeated by the Jin army at each wall gathered here along the city walls, so that the soldiers and civilians could not quickly control the city gates, so that after he arrived, the Jin army reinforcements also arrived.

As for the East Water Gate Kidnapping City, not to mention, the Jin army was already stationed with heavy troops to defend Shunchengcang to protect the grain and grass land, and it would not be able to take it at all for a while and a half.

However, he did not know that the main generals of the Jin army had decided to withdraw from Kaifeng, and had already begun to move, and saw the Jin army's brigade rushing towards the city gate. His really combat-effective troops were only two or three thousand horse infantry troops that came with him, and the main force was ready to attack Dongshuimen Kidnapping City.

There is no way, Kaifeng City is too big, half of the main force of the Song army is still outside the south wall, and the soldiers and horses entering the city need to defend each pass, and there are not many troops that can be invested in the new Song Gate.

Although the number of soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng is large, there is no one to command more than 100 people, although it is considered to be well-equipped and enthusiastic, but the combat effectiveness cannot be well played, it is difficult to form a powerful fist, and it is impossible to cause breakthroughs.

Often, when the city is broken, or a large city with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants or even a million inhabitants, the street battle is defeated by hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of enemy troops, and this is the reason.

The Jin army has a great advantage in the strength of the city, and the Jin army outside the city continues to support with cloud ladders, and there is no order to withdraw the army, so they can only move forward desperately, and there is no reason to turn back.

Wang Xiu was anxious, and there were troops led by himself at the gate of the city, but the pressure of the Jin army's attack was still very high, and it was still possible to break in.

There is a peculiar scene gathered up and down the city gate, at the city gate, the two armies push each other, the Jin army on the city wall is guarded on both wings, desperately intercepting the Song army at the head of the city, the Song army in the city is fighting with the Jin army on the stairs of the city, and the ladder is set up on the other side to start the reverse siege.

He was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he knew that if he was delayed at the city gate for a long time, if the Jin army launched a full-scale attack, he would face a very passive situation, and even the capture of Dongshuimen Kidnapping City would be in vain.

At this time, he even planned to rush back to Da Nei immediately, take Zhu Lian's mother and son, take advantage of the Jin army's attention to understand the face, and lead the army to kill from Nanxunmen, believing that with tens of thousands of troops to kill back, the Jin army will not be able to stop it.

However, the Song army was already exhausted after several days of fighting, and the final blow in Kaifeng City was all based on the honor of recovering Shenjing and the reward he promised. If you withdraw from the city and retreat, it is inevitable that the army's morale will be shaken, and once it is hit hard by the Jin army's horse team, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Insist, we must persevere, he was thinking about whether to use the reserves, and when he took the New Song Gate in one go, the appropriate benefit was that the horn of Ming Jin's retreat sounded in the direction of the Jin army.

"What's the matter" He suddenly relaxed, and a heart that mentioned his throat and eyes fell heavily again. He was not allowed to think too much about why the Jin army suddenly withdrew its troops at the critical moment and lost the last chance, only to see that the Jin soldiers did not love to fight, and the tide retreated, and the Jin army on the head of the city also began to retreat.

When the battle came to this point, no one wanted to be trampled to death in disgrace at the gate of the city, and they did not dare to retreat without a military order.

Whoever perseveres at this critical time will win in the end. Although he was surprised by the retreat of the Jin army, he was still happy to see that the Jin army could not hold out first.

"Quick, clean up the corpses at the gates and close the gates." Wang Xiu did not waste the opportunity, since the Jin army retreated, then quickly close the city gate.

The Jin army gradually gathered into a large military formation outside the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city immediately organized manpower to carry the corpses in the city gate hole, and before they finished cleaning, they saw the four horsemen of the Jin army galloping with a truce flag, and the crossbowmen of the Song army who had just occupied the city wall did not have a military order and did not shoot arrows.

It turned out that the Wushu had arrived, and there were only three people around: Gao Sheng, Zhi Li, and Wu Lie. "The fourth prince of Dajin, Lang Jun, is here, and I have come to visit your royal servant" The jurisdiction spoke almost authentic Kaifeng official language, calmly facing the Song soldiers who were facing each other at the gate of the city. "No need." Wang Xiu had already seen that it was a vulture, dismounted and walked slowly to the gate of the city, arched his hand shallowly, and smiled lightly: "Farewell to the old people, I don't want to meet again today, Lang Jun and the fifth brother are fine."
