Wang Yu never expected that the King of Han would enter Taiyuan City, and he felt unbelievable that he visited the King of Han overnight.

Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, was not surprised by Wang Yu's arrival at all, on the contrary, he was looking forward to it, and he asked the people below to prepare a banquet and chat with this meritorious man who guarded Taiyuan City.

Wang Yu still had any intention of drinking, he symbolically drank two glasses and said: "Lord Wang, you shouldn't enter Taiyuan City, once the Jin army besieges Taiyuan City, then it will be very troublesome." You must know that a gentleman is not conducive to being under the wall, and you are indeed taking a risk. ”

Liu Zhenglong was not in a hurry at all, he said with a smile: "Now that the Jin army only has 60,000 horses left, it is far from enough to besiege Taiyuan City. Besides, Wanyan Zonghan did not have the strength to attack the city, of course, even if he attacked the city, he would not be able to take Taiyuan City. ”

"But."

"It's nothing, as long as the Jin army chooses to besiege the city, then it is destined to divide the army, and the 60,000 army is divided into four sides, which means that there are only 15,000 people on each side, and we can break them individually." Speaking of this, King Han drank the wine in the wine glass, and he said unhurriedly: "It is indeed difficult to drink a pot of wine in one sip, but it is still very easy to drink it one by one. Since Wanyan Zonghan is closed, then we will lure this old fox out and defeat him. ”“

At this time, Liu Zhenglong's horizons have broadened a lot, he did not end Yan Zonghan, but nailed his eyes to Wan Yan Xianye, as long as the battle to annihilate Wan Yan Zonghan was started here, then Wan Yan Xian in Yunzhou would not be able to sit still, at that time, he could only wave his army south and come to Taiyuan Mansion to rescue.

Obviously, no matter when the Jin army goes south, as long as it can entangle Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xianye in Taiyuan Mansion, then the initiative of the entire battle situation will fall into the hands of the Han King. Taiyuan Mansion will become the main battlefield, then the situation in the capital will not deteriorate too much, and the overall situation will determine the direction of the Great Song War based on the trend of the Taiyuan War.

"Lord Wang, do you mean to regard Hedong Road as the main battlefield, no matter when the Jin army goes south, you will have the initiative? But have you thought about it, in that case, the pressure on Hedong Road is very high, once you can't withstand the attack of Wanyan Xianye and Wanyan Zonghan, then the whole battle situation will deteriorate. ”

Although the current Wang Yu did not officially join the command of the Han King, he still regarded his son as a member of the Han army. He didn't want the Han army to be defeated by the Jin army, and he didn't want any accidents to happen to the Han king.

Liu Zhenglong's original intention was to only drink tonight and not talk about military affairs, but Wang Yu asked it, and it was not appropriate not to say it, he put down his wine glass and said: "Who told you that this king will be flanked by the Jin army before and after?" As long as the battle to annihilate Yan Zonghan starts, even if Wan Yan Xian leads the army to the rescue, it will be useless. Don't forget, there are still 200,000 troops in the entire Western Army, although it is difficult to defeat Wan Yan Xianye, but it should not be difficult to prevent it from coming to Taiyuan City. ”

Obviously, King Han's idea is very clear, that is, to use the Western Army to contain Wan Yan Xianye, and then concentrate his forces to annihilate Wan Yan Zonghan, and then turn around to deal with Wan Yan Xianye. As long as he restrains most of the Jin country's troops in Taiyuan Mansion, then no matter how the capital dies, he can be invincible. Once the Jin army conquers Bianliang City, then the King of Han will appear as a savior, standing at the highest point of public opinion, paving the way for his ascension to the throne.

"Lord, what do you need the last general to do?" Wang Yu knelt on the ground, he officially surrendered to the King of Han, and was willing to fight for the Han army against the Jin army.

"General Wang, what you are best at is defense, the defense of Taiyuan, killing the Jin army seven times to attack the city is already very telling. This time, the Lone King wants to defeat Yan Zonghan in person, and at this time, you don't need to participate in the war. But once Yan Zonghan is wiped out, King Gu will lead a large army to Luoyang, Xijing, and the defense of Taiyuan will start again. You are responsible for defending the city, the Lone King is responsible for the periphery, and we will attack inside and outside, and finally annihilate this marshal of the Jin Kingdom. ”

It's another battle to defend the city, but this time the difficulty coefficient of defending the city is much more than before, however, Wang Yu is full of confidence, after all, he has the experience of attacking the city against the Jin army before, and the king of Han is in charge, there is no possibility of being conquered by the Jin army.

Wang Yu asked cautiously: "My lord, then, when the Marshal of the Jin Kingdom, Wan Yan Xian, also came to attack Taiyuan City, were you inside the city or outside the city?" ”

"It should be outside the city, once the lonely king is trapped in Taiyuan City, the consequences will be unimaginable." Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, has not yet been arrogant enough to trap himself in the city, once Taiyuan City is trapped by Wanyan Xian, it will be 100% impossible to kill, in that case, even if he has great skills, he will not be able to use it.

Liu Zhenglong finally changed his mind, but it was not actually a suggestion to Yan Xue, mainly because he knew that the historical Wanyan Xian was not far from death, and in this case, it was not necessarily a bad thing for Yan Xian.

Liu Zhenglong personally poured wine for Wang Yu, and he said with a little seriousness: "This defense of the city is of great significance, as long as you can hold on to it, and the lonely king and Wanyan Xian also fight a decisive battle, then the victory must belong to us." It's just that Wanyan Xian is much more difficult to deal with than the author Wanyan Zonghan, so you must be careful to face the battle. From now on, we will start to make pre-war preparations, this is an unprecedented tough battle, the test is the strength and toughness of defending the city, every step can not be wrong, what you need, just put it forward, the Lone King will try his best to be satisfied, and will definitely not hold you back. ”

In Liu Zhenglong's entire plan, Wang Yu defended Taiyuan to the death, and it was also very important to hold Wan Yan Xian, only then would he be able to free his hands to meet Wan Yan Zongwang, as long as Wan Yan Zongwang was defeated, then no matter how strong the Jin State was, it would be difficult to turn the tide of the war.

Wang Yu now understands that the king of Han dug a pit to make himself jump, it seems that he still has to stick to Taiyuan, but this time it is a hundred times more difficult than the previous task, once the city is broken, the consequences are unimaginable. After drinking this glass of bitter wine, he said: "Lord, I am afraid that it will take a lot of adjustments to defend Taiyuan. ”

"Conditions, if you open it, the lone king will meet you."

If you want the horse to run fast, the forage must be full. The king of Han knew how difficult the defense of Taiyuan was, and even more knew that if he wanted Wang Yu to work for himself, he must make a condition that this famous general who defended the city could not refuse.

King Han said with a smile: "You can open the conditions for defending the city, and when the war is over, the Lone King will crown you as the prince of Fenshui." ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Although Wang Yu is loyal and patriotic, he is not stupid, of course he knows the weight of Fenshui County, and he also knows what it means, that is, the city is in the people, and the city is ruined. Not only himself, but also his own children, will live and die with Taiyuan City.

"Rise up, heroes who defend the land, and the country will not forget you. This time the city is different from the past, and the hardships do not need to be repeated by the lonely king, what conditions are needed, you can mention it, the lonely king will be satisfied, and relieve your worries. ”

Wang Yu knew that now was not the time to be polite, so he said: "If you want to defend Taiyuan City, you need at least 50,000 elite soldiers, and now Taiyuan City is less than 20,000. In addition, the people of the city were moved, and 50,000 young men were recruited. The weapons in the city, the equipment to defend the city has been seriously insufficient, and another three million are needed to motivate the soldiers. It is best to move all the eight major families away, for fear that they will not be able to withstand it at a critical moment and cause unnecessary trouble. ”

"Yes, these lonely kings can satisfy you, and prepare new artillery for you, as well as assault muskets, three-eyed firearms, lightning guns, sky-shaking thunderbolts, thunderbolts, fire dragon god fierce oil fire cabinets, and Shenwei cannons will be equipped in place for you, and you will also be given five thousand flame troops, specifically responsible for firearms. These firearms, if used properly, can catch up with the combat effectiveness of 350,000 soldiers. Food, weapons will be prepared for you according to the maximum amount, as long as Taiyuan City can be stored and put down, how much you want. As for the incentives of the soldiers, I'm afraid that money alone is not enough, and the Lone King will prepare a million acres of land, which will be distributed by you when the time comes. ”

The Flame Army, Wang Yu had heard of it before, was the secret weapon of the Han army, and now the King of Han allocated it to himself, it can be seen how much the King of Han attaches importance to Taiyuan City, he knelt on the ground and said: "Swear to live and die together in Taiyuan City." ”

"Aiqing is flat, not to live and die together, but to defend Taiyuan City, and it is not impossible to be crowned the king and worship the prime minister in the future." King Han admired Wang Yu's knowledge of current affairs, and he said with a smile: "Is there anything that needs to be handled by King Gu's help?" ”

"The dog is not yet married, and if he dies in battle, the Wang family will be doomed." For Wang Yu, his son is probably the only thing that he can't rest assured, and if he solves his son's marriage, then he really has no distractions.

"The daughter of the Pan family, how about it, the lonely king will be the matchmaker." Speaking of this, King Han said with a smile: "King Gu has no sister, nor does he have such a big daughter, and the eldest daughter is only four years old. Otherwise, he will recruit Lang as Chenglong's son-in-law. ”

The Great Song Dynasty paid attention to the right family, of course, it is normal for the new science and technology to marry the daughter of a wealthy family, but Wang Yu's lintel, if he wants to marry the daughter of the Pan family, it is unimaginable, which shows the importance of the Han King to Wang Yu.

King Han entered Taiyuan City with great fanfare, the purpose was to attract Yan Zonghan's attention, and sure enough, this time Yan Zonghan was finally fooled.

Since entering the Hedong Road, it has been repeatedly blocked, although it has strangled hundreds of thousands of Song troops, surrendered 780,000 Song troops, and beheaded the famous Song generals and Liu Fa, but these are not enough to offset the defeat of Taiyuan City. At this time, Wanyan Zonghan felt pressured, he knew that there were not many opportunities for him, and perhaps annihilating the King of the Great Song and Han Dynasty was the only chance. Once you miss it, there will be no more, this time Wanyan Zonghan is willing to take risks, as long as he can successfully besiege the Han King in Taiyuan City, then the Jin Annihilation of the Great Song Dynasty will be put on the agenda.

Almost everyone knows that as long as the King of Han is trapped, then the Song Kingdom will be finished, and no matter how many troops there are outside, it will not change the fate of destroying the country. This is the sinkhole dug by Liu Zhenglong for Wanyan Zonghan, he firmly believes that no matter how cunning Wanyan Zonghan is, he must jump into this pit in the face of it, and he feels that this risk is worth doing.

Sure enough, on the night when Liu Zhenglong entered Taiyuan City, the Jin army besieged Taiyuan Mansion as soon as possible, and surrounded it on all sides, wanting to shout to trap the King of Han in the city.

Wanyan Zonghan is a battle-hardened general, and of course he can see the true intention of the Han King, and there is no doubt that he is forcing the Jin army to attack. Of course, he was not arrogant enough to defeat the Han army and capture or kill the Han king, but it was still possible to dig trenches and set up roadblocks to trap the Han king in the city.

The Jin army was busy outside the city, and the Han army was not idle in the city, and the Song army in the city was officially incorporated into the Han army, and the generals swore to fight for the Han king. Of course, according to the practice of the Han army. The members of the Dragon Soul Society will be stationed in the army, one light and one dark, to control this army. Wang Yu was only the military commander of this Han army, only responsible for fighting, while Cao Jun entered the army as the chief officer of life thought, monitoring the movements of the entire army to ensure that this army was loyal to the Han king, fought bloodily for the Han king, and charged into battle.

Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, personally feasted the eight families in the city, of course, he had already visited the king of the Wang family before that, and only after convincing the eight families that he could move the people in the city out after defeating Yan Zonghan.

After receiving sufficient financial compensation, the eight families happily agreed to relocate. This cleared the worries for Wang Yu to defend the city, at the same time, the preparations in the city were in full swing, Liu Zhenglong put forward a lot of constructive suggestions for Wang Yu, after all, the two generations of people, for the defense of the city still has their own unique opinions. Of course, I also know under what circumstances Taiyuan Mansion was conquered by the Jin army when Jingkang was ashamed, and of course I also know how to avoid Taiyuan City being conquered.

In the city, Wang Yu's son stepped up the training of the army and practiced the tactics of defending the city, and Wang Wei cooperated with Zhang Chunxiao to coordinate various affairs in the city. Wang Yu and Zheng Tian, the king of Han, studied the defense of Taiyuan City, studied how to minimize the loopholes, and deduced the various siege methods of the Jin army to find a way to solve it.

The city is busy, and the outside of the city is even busier, the Jin army is a heart to trap the Han king in the city, and has begun to dig trenches and set up roadblocks to prevent the Han king from breaking through.

Just when the Jin army was busy, the Han army quietly copied it from the four loaves. The first thing to kill was Qiu Qiongying's 10,000 cavalry, her army was quietly ambushed in the mountains ten miles away from the Jin army camp, the so-called march to Yangquan was just a pretense, the cavalry killed Yangquan, and the garrison surrendered, after all, the surrender of the Jin army was also a last resort. Since then, Qiu Qiongying's command has become 10,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry.

Qiu Qiongying participated in the whole process of the design of the whole tactic, and she was of course the first to bear the brunt of this attack on the Jin army, but the attack had to wait for the Han Wangqi to start the attack.

Hua Rong's 8,000 Han kings arrived half a day later than Qiu Qiongying, and they also brought 20,000 righteous troops, although the combat effectiveness of the righteous army was very poor, but they did not have the bad habits of the Great Song Forbidden Army, and they could still come in handy over time. In this battle, it is obvious that the rebels will not be able to play a role, at most they will shout and cheer and see the cruelty of the war.

On the night of the third day of November in the second year of Jingkang, 10,000 cavalry led by Wang Jin secretly ambushed to the south of the Jin army camp, and 10,000 cavalry led by Pan Youlong and 20,000 righteous troops were ambushed to the west of the Jin army camp.

At this time, there is no secret at all, the Jin army is surrounded, but Wanyan Zonghan is not too panicked, after all, the Han army has less than 40,000 cavalry, as for those infantry, they are all rabble, don't worry. On the contrary, Wanyan Zonghan felt that Liu Zhenglong was nothing more than that, and the so-called undefeated god of war was just a Song people's boast, which was actually the case.

Now the Jin army still has 55,000 cavalry, and the more than 30,000 vassal troops are not weaker than the Han army in terms of strength.

The strength and weakness in the battle are not felt, but fought. In the early morning of the fourth day of the first month of November, there was a sudden heavy snowfall, the wind roared, and with the earth-shattering cannonade, the 8,000 fierce Han Wang cavalry took the lead in rushing out of the position, like a torrent of steel from the east to the Jin army camp, at the same time, Qiu Qiongying led 10,000 cavalry on the left flank of the Han Wang's cavalry, and 15,000 infantry on the right flank of the Han Wang's cavalry, like a tiger descending the mountain, rushed towards the Jin army camp.

There is no doubt that the east side is the main attack, with the strong impact of the Han king's cavalry, tearing apart the camp of the Jin army and successfully driving the Jin army away. And the Jin army knew that the decisive moment was coming, and had already deployed heavy troops to meet the battle, and in the east was an army of 20,000 led by Wanyan Zongzhi, of which 5,000 Tiefutu was here, which could be said to be a head-to-head duel between two heavy armored cavalry on the battlefield.

Wang Bang started at the first moment.

Tiefutu is the pride of the Jin army, and it has always been invincible, invincible, and the enemy is fleeing from the wind, almost undefeated. However, the Mythical Sect will be broken one day, because there will always be more powerful forces thrown into the battlefield.

The Han King Cavalry, carrying the glory of the Han army, is the Son of Heaven Guard, and their appearance is destined to be a nightmare for the enemy. The best defense, the lightest armor, the strongest offensive weapons, iron bones, iron axes, hammers, look less like cavalry, but like blacksmiths. Not only that, but they were also equipped with the Three-Eyed Firebolt, a weapon for medium and long-range attacks, to replace the riding bow, an epoch-making weapon that was first equipped in the Han Dynasty's cavalry, and was also used for the first time.

The three-eyed firearm is used very frequently by infantry, after all, it is used for defense, and its lethality is better than that of infantry bows and crossbow arrows. However, it was used as a cavalry, this was the first time, and only the Han king's cavalry could use it.

Small thunderbolts are also equipped in the Han King Cavalry, this kind of small bombs that can be thrown dozens of steps away, is the first time to throw on the battlefield, and is also directly equipped in the Han King Cavalry, but the speed of the cavalry is only enough to use one round, the lethality, the huge deterrent power, is still the nightmare of the Jin Army.

Two heavily armored cavalry, armed to the teeth, carried their own glory and attacked each other on the battlefield. Since they were both heavily armored cavalry and had super defense, both sides did not use mounted bows, because this kind of archery was difficult to hurt each other.

In the face of the heavy cavalry of the Han army, Tiefutu stupidly gave up the medium and long-range attack of the cavalry bow, and instead wanted to follow the impact of the cavalry and pierce the Han king's cavalry with a spear.
