The artillery was fired in turns, and the golden soldiers on the walled wall were heavily wounded, relying on the cover of the dead corners of the wall, and resisted stubbornly.

Li Siben, who was hiding in the corner of the wall, had a pale face and trembled all over, and the Jurchen cavalry galloping across the country was not the opponent of the Song army, let alone the Han'er in the village.

Blame yourself for doing bad things, there is no way back. Now that I think about it, I regret it.

"Li is in charge, the Song army is powerful, and the firearms are sharp, the brothers will definitely not be able to hold it!"

Lin Feng shouted loudly: "Mo Ruo retreats to Taiyuan City, and then make plans!"

Before Lin Feng's words fell, his face had already "snapped" and he was whipped.

"You guy, if you talk nonsense again, Lao Tzu will cut off your dog's head immediately!"

Li Siben's face was hideous, his eyes were blood-red, and he roared wildly: "Go back to Taiyuan City, do you think Lao Tzu died fast enough!"

After losing Pantuo Pass and returning to Taiyuan City, you have to shed your skin if you don't die, so it's better to fight hard, and wait until the reinforcements from Taiyuan City arrive, maybe you can get a moment of life.

Several artillery pieces came, and several golden soldiers next to Li Siben were beaten with their faces blooming, and they fell down screaming. The artillery of the Song army was fierce, and the heads of the Jin soldiers were hidden behind the wall, and they did not dare to raise their heads for a long time.

Li Siben cut down the two Jin soldiers who fled in a hurry, and said angrily: "Brothers, kill Song Dog well." If anyone dares to escape, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless!"

Looking at the Song army swarming and climbing, Lin Feng's eyes rolled, he stepped forward with a knife, and slashed Li Siben with a knife, and several of Li Siben's guards were stunned and stepped forward to surround Lin Feng.

"Live or die, choose for yourself!"

Lin Feng didn't push away the few people who pounced on him, stepped forward and cut off Li Siben's head, and said loudly: "Brothers, Li Siben wants us to accompany him to the funeral, do you agree?"

"No!"

Already the golden soldiers shouted loudly.

The golden soldiers on the city wall looked at each other and shouted loudly: "Down, down!"

The flag was erected on the city wall, the gate of the wall slowly opened, and the troops of the Loyal and Righteous Army slowly entered, and Wang Song couldn't help but be stunned.

The majestic Pantuo Pass was taken in this way.

"Since ancient times, emperors have ruled the world, all of them have been in China to control Yidi, Yidi has lived outside to serve China, and I have not heard of Yidi living in China and ruling the world!"

Looking at Lin Feng and the other generals who were kneeling on the ground, Wang Song couldn't help frowning.

"Lin Tongshi, as a Han Chinese, you are willing to drive away for other races, slaughter your comrades, spoil your sisters, have no father and mother, and forget your ancestors, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Xianggong, the villain is just a small general, one is not in charge of the army, the other is not a general, and he is insignificant under the hands of the Jurchens. If today's soldiers come, Lin Feng admires Chinese civilization and is willing to submit, and please be especially gracious for the sake of the same root and clan!"

Lin Feng knelt down on one knee, his words were earnest, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

Yelu Yan knew that Wang Song loved talent, and also stepped forward and said: "Xianggong, what this Brother Lin said is good. He is proficient in Jurchen, Khitan, and Goryeo, and is a knowledgeable and talented man. ”

Wang Song nodded and said: "Lin Tongshi, it is rare that you have this loyalty and knowledge, and in the future, you will follow this official and serve as the official of Xuanfu, as long as you work hard, this official will never treat you badly."

"Xianggong, the villain must be smeared with liver and brains to repay Xianggong!"

Lin Feng's body trembled slightly, and he bowed again.

"Xianggong, there are still tens of thousands of silver coins, more than 1,000 war horses, and more than 5,000 stones of grain, which is enough for half a month's ration for the army."

Wang Song smiled, shook his head and said, "Brother Lin, I'm afraid it's only enough for about 10 days' rations now!"

The righteous army of Meng De and Jiao Wentong returned to Shun, and the Jin soldiers of Pantuoguan returned to Shun, with a total of 36,000 loyal and righteous troops, and the monthly consumption of grain was about 2 million catties, that is, 16,000 stones, and 5,000 stones were naturally only enough for ten days.

Although there is now a supply of grain and grass in the rear, it is naturally best to be able to be self-sufficient.

"Collect the heads of Li Siben and Samoulu on the official road outside the south wall, pile them up into a "Jingguan", and let the surrounding thieves take a look, if they help the abuse, dare to be the enemy of our Heavenly Empire, the heads of these dog thieves are a precedent!"

Lin Feng and the other generals were shocked in their hearts, Wang Song was so ruthless, there was no way for them to go back.

The heads of the two thousand Jurchen warriors are piled on the side of the road, and when they go back, aren't they conscious of the world.

Now that the wood is already in the boat, why not be faithful to the new master, but you can win the willows and flowers.

"Xianggong, in the villain's opinion, although our army is strong, it is difficult to win, and defeat is a thousand miles away, and the root of it lies in the lack of cavalry."

Wang Song was stunned for a moment, it was difficult for Lin Feng to join the new gang, and he had to be like Jiao Wentong and Meng De, and accept the name?

"Lin Feng, what you said is very true, this official is also sleepless day and night because of the lack of cavalry and the lack of war horses. What plan do you have, although it is said that if it works, this official will definitely have a heavy reward!"

Lin Feng nodded yes, and bowed: "The lower official is quite familiar with the garrison of the Jin people in Taiyuan City, and he knows the location of the cavalry camp and stables very well. As long as Xianggong captures Taiyuan City, the trouble of the cavalry will naturally be gone, and the villain will be willing to be a pawn and worry about Xianggong!"

The generals dispersed, each plotting his own thing, Wang Song returned to the lobby of Pantuoguan, but saw that Ma Kuo, Zhang Xian and others were all solemn, and there was no joy of victory at all.

Looking at the lobby again, all the old men of the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, even Chen Dong, Ouyang Che, Yang Jin, Wang Yan and other scribes and military generals are not in the house.

"Brothers, why is this, gathered here at night, what is going on?"

"A small victory is not enough to be happy, going north to Taiyuan is a big deal!"

Ma Kuo took a step forward and asked in a deep voice, with anxiety between his eyebrows.

"Xia Guan wants to ask Xianggong, take Taiyuan City, are you ten percent sure?"

Everyone in the big account stared at Wang Song's body together, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"This ......"

Wang Song pondered for a while, there were thirty or forty thousand Jurchen elite soldiers and strong generals in Taiyuan City, and the number was comparable to his own, and the elite was especially superior. Everyone came to ask, I am afraid that they were also worried that the loyal army would not be able to defeat the other party and be frustrated under the city of Taiyuan.

"If you want to say that you are 10% sure, there must not be!"

Wang Song was a little unhappy in his heart. These people are really disregarding military regulations and touching his scales.

"But I'm more than sixty percent sure that I can take Taiyuan City. Why, do you even want to disobey military orders?"

Wang Song's anger caused panic and anxiety among the ordinary henchmen in the hall, Niu Gao, Zhai Er, Yang Zaixing and others were all pale, and quickly lowered their heads, but Ma Kuo, Zhang Heng, Dong Ping, including Zhang Xian, etc., looked calm.

"Did Xiang Gong ever think that once a confrontation was formed under the city of Taiyuan, protracted, and the reinforcements of the Jurchens came from the north, would Xiang Gong be able to hold on?"

Ma Kuo did not relent, his face did not change, he still talked eloquently, obviously prepared.

"Once the prime minister is defeated, the attack of the ministers of the DPRK and China will come like a tide, and it is logical that the minister will be demoted and resigned."

Dong Ping also walked out and said loudly: "There are thirty or forty thousand Jurchen elites in Taiyuan City, even if they are captured, our army is not suffering heavy casualties." When the Jurchen army comes to help, the remnants of the army are defeated, how many days can Xianggong hold on?"

Wang Song said angrily: "Ma Kuo, Dong Ping, don't you two have to disobey?" The recovery of Taiyuan City is the will of the imperial court, the duty of my Hedong Loyal Army, and the expectation of the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Dong Ping and Ma Kuo both blushed, fell to the ground, slammed their heads on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The lower officials are arrogant, please punish the minister!"

Zhang Heng saw that Wang Song was full of anger, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade:

"Xianggong, Ma Xuanzan and Dong Ping are just worried about the defeat of the army, Xianggong still don't blame them."

"It's all my own brothers, kneeling down and doing nothing, if you don't get up, it's embarrassing!"

Wang Song shouted loudly, the anger in his heart dropped a little, sometimes he was too easy-going, so that these brothers had no fear, and there was no humility.

After all, he was not only Wang Song himself, but also an official of the Great Song Dynasty and the commander of the First Army.

Ma Kuo and Dong Ping quickly stood up, lowered their heads, and didn't dare to say anything again.

Zhang Xian always had some doubts in his heart, with 30,000 people, against a considerable number of Jin soldiers, if the other party defended the city, what casualties Wang Song would have to pay, and whether he could capture Taiyuan City, it is not yet known.

The ideal situation is that the Taiyuan Jin soldiers poured out, and the two sides fought a field battle, and the loyal and righteous army won a complete victory and conquered Taiyuan City in one fell swoop. However, with the current lack of cavalry in the Loyal Army, it seems unlikely that it will succeed.

"Xianggong, what Dong Ping said is that even if we take Taiyuan City, I'm afraid we will lose both, and when the Jin reinforcements arrive, how to hold on is also a ......."

"Break Taiyuan City, recruit troops, besides, the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army can also come to Hedong for reinforcements, so why be afraid!"

Wang Song categorically interrupted Zhang Xian's words, shook his head and said:

"First of all, the field battle must be painful to the Jurchens. If the Jurchens defend the city, the official will break the city within three days, and then either recruit troops or transfer troops from Hebei, and the Jurchen reinforcements can help me!"

Everyone was stunned, they were not afraid of the field battle, but it seemed a little unbelievable to break the city in three days.

"Even if Xianggong can break the city, if you want to transfer troops from Hebei, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Why is that? For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, my loyal and righteous army was not afraid of casualties, born and died, and captured Taiyuan City. ”

"For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, for the sake of glory and wealth, it is inevitable to hinder things, and even for public and private use!"

Zhang Xian interjected coldly.

"Why is that?"

Wang Song couldn't help but be stunned. Zhang Xian has always been cautious, and it seems that he is also worried about something.

"Winning the merit and covering the master, the Manchu Dynasty is suspicious, Di Wuxiang is a lesson from the past; If defeated, he will be demoted and retired, and even his reputation will be ruined, and the great cause of resisting gold will come to an abrupt end, and the land of China will be reduced to fish. From the king to the Manchu Dynasty Zhu Zi, he only cares about high-ranking officials and personal gains and losses. Xiang Gong has a heavy army, which is already a big taboo. ”

After Zhang Xian finished speaking, Ma Kuo also picked up.

"With the civil system of martial arts, the outside must first be safe, the public in the country's great merit, but above the scholars, the constraints, fall into the well, pointing to the deer as the horse, the road ahead, the difficulties and dangers, the public to be cautious and ......cautious"

Niu Gao was older and thoughtful, he stepped forward boldly, hugged his fists and said: "Xianggong, it is better to sweep the prefectures and counties around Taiyuan first, and then ask the imperial court for instructions, transfer the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army into Hedong, and slowly figure out the ......"
