As the Song trebuchet was destroyed by the coalition forces, the damaged earth and mountains outside the city were quickly repaired. Lu Zhan stood on the dirt mountain and said to the high arch beside him: "As the saying goes, surrounded by a hundred horses, you can wrap ten thousand people; Thousands of horses are divided, and they can be hundreds of miles. The reconnaissance of the periphery was left to the brothers of the Qin army. ”

"This is natural, but the top priority of the Lu Jian Army is when to prepare to break the city, and you won't have to worry about these reconnaissance matters." Gao Gong said coldly.

"General Gao, we didn't get along quite well a few days ago, what's going on with you today?" Lu Zhan looked at the somewhat unusually high arch.

"Hmph. Lu Jianjun, as the supervisor of the Northern Army, took the lead in drinking without authorization, and I heard that he was also having fun with beautiful women in the military tent. Lu Jian Jun is really a good prison army. Gao Gong still said coldly.

Looking at Gao Gong with a disdainful face, Lu Zhan wondered who had told his secret, but it was indeed he who had violated military discipline first. After all, he was a prisoner of the army, but he violated military discipline, and of course he was looked down upon in front of the Qin army, which had strict military regulations.

"What General Gao taught me is that it is indeed Lu who violated military discipline first." Lu Zhan said sincerely towards Gao Gong.

Gao Gong nodded and went down from the dirt mountain, while Lu Zhan waved his hand to signal the herald beside him to begin to convey the order to attack the city. Countless archers climbed the earth mountain and prepared to start firing arrows at the Song soldiers on the city walls.

The Song army at the head of the city saw that the earth mountain was full of archers, and they raised their shields or retreated to the low wall to avoid the bows and arrows. The Song army at the head of the city couldn't help but swallow a little bit as the dense coalition troops under the city wall through their shields, and the coalition soldiers besieging the city also looked at the tall walls of the capital and couldn't help but sigh at their own insignificance.

Battlefield command is not Lu Zhan's strong point, Lu Zhan knows that the work should be handed over to professional people, and only the generals of Qin can command it. Since Lu Zhan announced the start of today's siege, Lu Zhan has retreated to the second line to accompany the new emperor who personally supervised the battle.

"Brother-in-law, your Tushan siege method has indeed worked, but how long will it take to recapture the capital. These rebels and thieves and that puppet emperor deserve to die! The new emperor, who personally supervised the battle, asked eagerly about the landing exhibition.

"Back to Your Majesty, we were unprepared yesterday, and our army will definitely be able to break through the city gate today. The cavalry units of the Qin army also began to attack the Song army outside the eastern city, and after our army captured the city gate and defeated the Song army outside the city, it was better to negotiate as much as possible. The more Lu Zhan said, the slower his voice became.

"What? Let me negotiate with these rebels and thieves? The new emperor almost didn't jump out of his seat.

"Your Majesty is angry, if the Song army, together with the rebellious southern army and the Tang family's government soldiers, insists on resisting to the end, it will cause irreparable losses to the capital. In order for His Majesty to take charge of the capital in the future, it is better to force the Song army to surrender conditionally. "Lu Zhan has seen a lot of Western film and television works, among which conditional surrender is a good policy.

Seeing that the new emperor did not react, Lu Zhan continued: "When the city gate is captured, the troops outside the city are defeated again, so that the capital cannot get supplies. In a city as big as Beijing, the daily supply consumption is astronomical. After a long time, they will be willing to agree to our terms of surrender. ”

After thinking about it for a while, the new emperor felt that what Lu Zhan said was not unreasonable, so he nodded and said that it was acceptable, but just after Lu Zhan left, the new emperor muttered to himself: "Brother-in-law, you are still not ruthless enough." These rebels and thieves must pay for their actions, otherwise who will take me, the Son of Heaven, in their eyes. ”

Lu Zhan, who returned to the first line of the earth mountain, saw that the Song army that did not have trebuchets to attack the earth mountain was fiercely suppressed, and with the cooperation of the Qin army's first strong pawn, the advantage of the coalition army in the city became more and more obvious, and the Song army under the city lost the courage to reinforce the city head looking at the overwhelming rain of arrows overhead.

After all, almost no one is not afraid of death, and the Song army, which is fighting as an away game, still knows that what they are doing is against the Son of Heaven, although the vassal states generally do not take the Son of Heaven in their eyes. But in the eyes of the people, the Son of Heaven is still the messenger of God's will, and the deep-rooted feudal ideology still dominates the ordinary people. And the soldiers usually come from among the common people.

As the city wall was gradually controlled by the coalition forces, the Song army officers who were anxious began to organize death squads to take the coalition troops off the city wall. But even with the support of the Tang family's soldiers, the rain of arrows of the coalition army on the earth mountain still suppressed the counterattack of the Song army.

The soldiers of the Song army guarding the city gate listened to the loud sound of the rushing car colliding with the city gate, and the city gate, which was held against the huge wooden pillar, began to slowly shake. Seeing that the city gate was about to be knocked open, the Song army officer ordered the Song army soldiers to use their flesh and blood against the city gate.

The soldiers of the Song army outside the eastern city shivered in their hearts when they looked at the endless iron cavalry of the Qin army, but the cold light reflected by the armor of the Qin army in the hot sun made the Song army feel like they were in winter. Tang Pingzhi, the commander of the Song army at this time, looked at the banner of the Qin army, and already knew that he was facing Meng Qian, a famous general of the Qin State.

With the sound of war drums, the cavalry of the Qin army began to rush towards the battle formation of the Song army. The dust raised by the war horses accompanied the Qin army to charge.

"Prepare the giant crossbow, release!" With Tang Pingzhi's order, dozens of giant crossbow arrows were shot at the charging troops of the Qin army.

Seeing the galloping crossbow arrows and the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air in their ears, the soldiers of the Qin army were not in a hurry, because they had already prepared. The Qin cavalry began to break up into dozens of small columns to reduce the chance of being hit by crossbow arrows.

The chariot surrounded by the Song army in front of the formation was jumped by the Qin cavalry, and only a small number of poor war horses were pierced in the abdomen by the pikemen behind the Song army's chariot when they crossed the chariot.

The cavalry that crossed the chariot used the huge potential energy generated by the war horse to ram away the Song soldiers, and the pikemen who bore the brunt of the battle were knocked out, and the blood spat out of his mouth spilled on the armor of his comrades behind him. Secondly, the Song army facing the Qin cavalry was pierced into the chest by the Qin army's spear or the throat was cut by the curved saber, and these battle-hardened Qin cavalry relied on years of experience to make the spears and sabers in their hands accurately kill and injure the deadly parts of the Song army's body.

The cavalry of the Song army did not dare to enter the battle against the Qin army, and could only watch their comrades fall one by one. The cavalrymen pulled the reins to control the restless horses beneath them. After receiving the order, these cavalry finally began to attack the flanks of the Qin army's attacking force, and although they knew that they would die and die, the military order was like a mountain, and these cavalry still rushed forward to meet their comrades.

After Tang Pingzhi saw that the defense line he had built was riddled with holes by the Qin army, he held the sword in his hand and shouted: "The personal guards follow me!"
