On the official road in the south of the city, Zhao Gou was in front, and Wang Yuan, Wang Boyan and others followed behind with hundreds of knights, beating horses and galloping in the direction of the Yangtze Bridge.

Behind Zhao Gou and the others, countless people and the Song army followed closely. In the crowd, soldiers or civilians constantly fell, and they were trampled on until they died, and they could not get up again.

At the south gate, countless people and soldiers ran out of the hole in the city gate, black and oppressive, like locusts. They were all terrified and panicked, you pushed me, the cry shook the sky, and they ran south, and people kept falling and lost their traces.

"Run away, Fanzi is coming!"

The fleeing civilians and sergeants were shouting this phrase repeatedly. The brutality of the Jin people has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Now, even the officials and princes of the town have run away, where do the soldiers still have the heart to resist, the people are not human swordsmen, I am fish and meat.

"I want to go back, and I will die in Yangzhou City!"

Zhao Gou suddenly stopped, turned around and hit the horse, wanting to go back to Yangzhou City.

"Your Highness, don't!"

Wang Yuan hurriedly grabbed the reins of Zhao Gou's war horse, and persuaded anxiously in his mouth: "Your Highness, the Jin soldiers have already controlled Yangzhou City, if you go back, it will be tantamount to a moth throwing fire, don't do it!"

Wang Boyan also persuaded on the side: "Your Highness, it's better to leave as soon as possible, and the people in the city may be able to avoid this catastrophe." Your Highness, don't hesitate any longer!"

The chamberlain Kang rolled off his horse, kowtowed again and again: "Your Highness, don't be impulsive, think about the official family, and think about the world of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Gou sighed, closed his eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "I'm ashamed of the people of Yangzhou!"

Everyone dissuaded together, Wang Boyan made a look, Wang Yuan and others hurriedly hugged Zhao Gou and went to the Yangtze River together.

The shouts and fighting sounds in the city came, and Gong Ji, who was stationed on the city wall of the south gate, immediately took off his armor, threw away the weapon in his hand, and ran outside the south city with Huang Jun in tow.

"Gong Ji, let's run away like this, aren't we afraid of the court being held accountable?"

Huang Jun ran out of breath as he took off his clothes. This military uniform is too eye-catching.

"Fanzi is here, the officials have all run away, let's still keep what to do, you don't want your own life!"

Gong Ji grabbed Huang Jun and quickly walked out of the city gate.

"Gong Ji, Huang Jun, you two straight mothersy thieves!"

Zhang Yifo saw the soldiers on the city wall and at the gate fleeing one after another, and he jumped like thunder.

"Commander Zhang, what should I do now?"

The sergeants on the side were also dumbfounded, seeing the streets and alleys, the soldiers and the people were densely packed, the cries shook the sky, and everyone stood there, all at a loss.

"Official, I've found you. The soldiers entered the city, and my father and mother were killed, but fortunately, General Zhai led people to resist, and we escaped. What can I do now?"

The wife ran over from the crowd with her son, and when she saw Zhang Yifo, her face was full of tears. Next to his wife and children, there are many family members of soldiers and soldiers, and when everyone meets, they are full of joy and sorrow, and they can't help themselves.

"Alright, alright, just get out!"

Zhang Yifo was irritable in his heart, and was about to speak, when Zhai Liang hurried over with a team of people.

"Commander Zhang, hurry up and escort the people to retreat outside the city, Fanzi enters the city, and the straight lady thief is in chaos!"

Zhai Liang was covered in blood, and he didn't know if it was someone else's or his own. He glanced at the Song soldiers in front of the southern city gate and raised his eyebrows.

The Jin people attacked Yangzhou, and when they arrived in the city, he reacted. This battle was very bad, he killed a group of golden soldiers, and wanted to mobilize the soldiers, but he was coerced by the rout and the people, and involuntarily retreated to the south gate.

"I'm here to struggle with stragglers, and I can resist for a while. Commander Zhang, you take some brothers and escort the people to withdraw. When we arrive at the Yangtze Bridge, there are our sailors and warships, hurry up and leave!"

Zhai Liang looked at Zhang Yifo and said loudly: "The south city gate is the last barrier of the whole city, if you are not there."

This blocks the Jin soldiers, I'm afraid the people outside the city won't be able to escape!"

Zhang Yifo made a look, and several sergeants stepped forward together, clamping Zhai Liang's arm left and right.

"Zhang Yifo, what are you going to do, hurry up and let go of me!"

"General Zhai, please escort your brothers' families to Jiangnan. The southern wall is where I am guarded, and the family of my brothers will be handed over to you!"

Zhang's wife said sadly: "Official, let's go together!"

"Besides, no one can leave!"

Zhang Yifo shouted loudly: "When you get to Jiangnan, live well, take your son and leave!"

Zhai Liang was sad and indignant, and said loudly: "Zhang Yifo, the situation is urgent, I won't tell you more." The brothers' families are all handed over to me, and as long as I don't die, I will definitely take them to Jiangnan safely!"

Zhai Liang and the families of the soldiers left and headed in the direction of the Yangtze Bridge.

"Order the brothers, set up the artillery, prepare the earth-shaking thunder, and wait for the fans to come over, and greet them well!"

Zhang Yifo gave a military order, and the soldiers quickly climbed the city wall and worked on it.

"Kill Song Dog!"

A large group of Jurchen cavalry, wielding long knives, riding spears, and legs between the belly of horses, shouted wildly, and rushed all the way. They don't know how many Song people they killed and killed, and they were all with broken arms and legs and bloodstains along the way.

They slashed wildly, and the people and horses were dipped in blood, and they all looked like they had climbed up from a pool of blood, which was extremely terrifying and hideous.

"Straight thieves, brothers are ready, let these thieves know in a while, we Yangzhou people are not soft-footed ghosts!"

Zhang Yifo bit his lip tightly, and his eyes seemed to be spurting blood.

"Commander Zhang, Gong Ji and Huang Jun, the two dog thieves, have really lost the face of our Yangzhou people!"

Song Bing next to him also turned pale, and tightly held the earth-shattering thunder in his hand.

"Two straight mothers and thieves, they will be on fire when they think about it!"

Zhang Yifo said angrily: "Wait for a while when the thieves arrive, first use the earth-shaking thunder, and then use the artillery, we must let these dog thieves shed their skin!"

The sergeant hesitated: "Commander Zhang, there are still people here, if there is a fight, it will inevitably cause ......."

Before the sergeant's words fell, he was interrupted by Zhang Yifo.

"If we don't deal with these thieves, the people will die, and even more will die. Look outside the city, there are hundreds of thousands of people. If we hold on here a little longer, they will be able to escape a little more!"

Thousands of war horses roared in, and their iron hooves trampled on the blue brick avenue, making the soldiers' hearts beat violently.

I have long heard that the Jurchen cavalry dominates the world and is invincible, but when I see it today, it is just that the hundreds of cavalry roaring over are already terrifying.

The Jurchen cavalry also discovered the Song soldiers on the southern city wall. They drove the people forward, and they themselves mingled with the people, cunning and insidious.

Zhang Yifo's face turned pale, lit the fuse of the earth-shattering thunder, and threw it out.

Seeing Zhang Yifo make a move, Song Bing next to him no longer hesitated, lit the fuse in his hand one after another, and threw it down.

"Pass! Pass!"

The continuous explosions sounded, the fleeing people suffered heavy casualties, and the Jurchen knights on the horses were also thrown down one by one.

"Pong! Disheveled! Ponto!"

Immediately after, the artillery in the city also rang out, and a large number of Jurchen knights were swept off their horses, and the mournful screams of the horses and the screams of the knights rang out one after another.

Taking advantage of the battle between the Song soldiers and the Jurchen cavalry in the city, the people at the city gate fled outside the city gate in the tide.

The artillery and earth-shattering thunder continued, the Jurchen knights suffered heavy casualties, and the survivors were frightened, and fled after beating their horses, until they retreated to a safe place, and then stopped, and scolded the Song soldiers on the city wall.

Li Qiong hurried up with people. The more than 10,000 Song troops on the teaching ground were almost crushed with one blow, and there were no legendary 30,000 people.

Forces nouvelles training

For half a year, it was impossible to stay in Yangzhou City all the time. In addition to half of the transfer to Jiangning Mansion, a lot of local mobilization is also necessary, and the Song soldiers in the city, in addition to the 10,000 new troops, the other more than 10,000 people are all local township soldiers.

Seeing that the Song soldiers on the south wall were so tenacious, Li Qiong commanded his subordinate Han'er to climb up from the east and west city walls, and began to encircle the south city wall from the east and west.

The two sides entered a bitter battle. Li Qiong was originally from the official army of the Great Song Dynasty, and some of the small cannons discarded by the Song army on the city wall were also taken by him and used to deal with Zhang Yifo and others on the southern city wall.

The battle lasted for about an hour, Zhang Yifo and others were weak after all, and finally gave up, more than 500 soldiers were all killed, and the Jin soldiers finally conquered the southern city wall.

"Straight lady thief, I can't imagine that the southerners also have this kind of hero!"

Li Qiong looked at Zhang Yifo and the others in front of her, who were blurred in flesh and blood, and her limbs were incomplete, and she couldn't help but shake her head with emotion.

On the ferry of the Yangtze Bridge, Zhao Gou and others had already boarded the warship and headed towards the south bank of the Yangtze River. What was left behind were hundreds of thousands of people and soldiers who were densely packed, crying and howling.

Zhai Liang was on the shore directing the sergeants and civilians to board the ship one after another and withdraw towards the south bank of the Yangtze River. When the rest of the people saw that there were no ships, they fled to the fields to the west.

On the bow of the ship, "officials", "big brothers", "San Lang", the cries and cries on the boat were endless, Zhang Yifo's wife and other soldiers' families looked at the direction of Yangzhou City, and everyone couldn't cry.

"You officials and soldiers of the imperial court can't even defend the city gate, and you still have a face to get on the boat!"

Seeing that the Song army who had fled by the river had to get on the boat first, and many people didn't even have swords, guns and armor, the people on the shore instantly became angry.

"If it weren't for them, my family wouldn't be trapped in the city!"

"Kill them, kill the officers and soldiers of the dog day!"

In these years, not only the officials and soldiers have swords and guns, but also a lot of people have them. At the time of life and death, the devil in everyone's heart was released.

The people were violent, swords, guns and sticks were all down, Gong Ji, who was about to get on the boat on the shore, was wrapped in a bunch of soldiers and rushed towards the boat on the shore, but Huang Jun was squeezed into the water on the shore.

Huang Jun struggled to swim to the side of the boat, and as soon as he swam to the side of the boat, he was hit with a few sticks on his head and shoulders, and suddenly passed out and slowly sank to the bottom.

Gong Ji finally squeezed into the boat, but was beaten by the angry people, his nose and face were swollen, and he fell into the water with a "poof". By the time he looked up, the ship was already rowing south.

"This general, please save my family officials!"

Zhai Liang was grabbed by a middle-aged woman in her 40s, full of bookishness, and pointed to a place on the shore.

Following the direction of the middle-aged woman's finger, Zhai Liang could see clearly that a purple-robed official was being beaten by a group of people with sticks, and he couldn't get up on the ground.

Zhai Liang finally squeezed over and drove away the people, and the purple-robed official's mouth and nose were bleeding, and he was already lifeless.

"Madam, there's nothing you can do about it."

Zhai Liang carried the body of the purple-robed official to the boat, and the middle-aged woman cried bitterly.

"Isn't this Zhao Tongzhi? Li everyone, you mourn and change. ”

Someone on the boat recognized the purple-robed official and the middle-aged woman. Zhai Liang couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart. Unexpectedly, this bookish middle-aged woman turned out to be the famous Li Qingzhao.

The purple-robed official who unfortunately died tragically was naturally his husband, Zhao Mingcheng, a fellow acquaintance of Yangzhou Mansion.

Zhai Liang turned his head and looked towards the shore, only to see countless people, fleeing in a hurry towards the east and west, and behind them, the Jin soldiers were killing wildly, and the scene was not staring directly.

Zhai Liang's heart is like a knife, Yangzhou City, it's over.

In December of the first year of Jianyan of the Great Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zongbi led the Jin soldiers to attack Yangzhou City, King Kang Zhao Gou traveled south from Yangzhou Cangshu, to the Yangtze Bridge by boat from Guazhou Town to cross the river, Wei Cong only hundreds of soldiers, arrived at Zhenjiang at dusk.

The Jin people occupied Yangzhou City, relaxed the ban for three days, burned, killed and looted, tens of thousands of people died, and Yangzhou City was in ruins.
