Chapter 356: The Golden Man was in an uproar
Bianjing City is fighting fiercely.
The Jin army had already shifted the focus of the siege to Tongjin Gate, that is, the East Water Gate, and used the stone cannons left outside the city by the retreating Song army, and the arrows and stones flew like rain.
Huge stones such as millstones and stones of the people outside the city were used as artillery shells and shot into the city. They also demolished houses and demolished bricks and stones for later use. The Song army in the city formed a net of thick ropes to carry the artillery to reduce its lethality. Then he built a glaive fortress across the river in the water gate to fight against the Jinren.
What's even more strange is that Song Qinzong has already ordered Zhao Gou to suspend reinforcements, but he decided to use Li Gang again. Send a stagecoach out of the city secretly to convey the holy decree to Li Gang, who is far away in Changsha: the official will be reinstated, appointed as a senior scholar of the palace, and lead the affairs of Kaifeng. With an order to the day, the starry night sent to Beijing.
That's just ridiculous.
However, He Li, Sun Fu and others are really limited in their ability to deal with the war.
The terrain of Tokyo Castle is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, resembling a lying cow. In terms of urban defense facilities, the northwest is relatively strong, and the southeast is relatively simple. Some people believe that Shanli Gate is in the head of the cow, Xuanhua Gate is in the cow neck, and Tongjin Gate is between Shanli Gate and Xuanhua Gate. If the Jin people attack the city, they will choose these three gates as the key places to attack. And so it turned out. But He Li, Sun Fu and others didn't care before the war.
It is also thanks to Liu Yanqing, who served as the official of the four walls, although he was defeated by the Liao army when he led the Northern Expedition to recover Yanjing, and his reputation plummeted, but in the end, he had rich combat experience, and when he saw that the southeast city defense was weak, he went to the city in person and commanded the enemy. And there is a way to deal with it, every night, he has people pile hundreds of bales of hay under the city, and when he finds that the Jin people are attacking the city, he will light a fire and call the police, so as to prevent the Jin people from sneaking up. Liu Yanqing also accepted the advice of others and placed a nine-bull cannon on the east city wall, although this cannon was somewhat worn out but still usable, and played a huge role in the city defense, breaking the ladder of the Jin army attacking the city many times. Song Qinzong also issued a special edict to seal this cannon as the general who protected the country.
The Jin people felt that the defense of the East Water Gate was strong and difficult to break, so they took the Chenzhou Gate as the focus of the siege. The East Water Gate and the Chenzhou Gate are both in the southeast corner of the capital, but the East Water Gate faces east and the Chenzhou Gate faces south.
Now Mu Han deployed the main force of the Western Route Army in the area of East Water Gate, Chenzhou Gate, and New Song Gate (Bianliang East City Gate), intending to open a breakthrough from the southeast corner. The main force of the East Route Army, which was inseparable, was responsible for attacking the north and east walls.
This is the direct reason why Zhao Huan decided to use Li Gang.
Before the war, it was obvious that the southeast corner was weak, but none of the several rulers in charge could do anything. How can Zhao Huan not be angry in his heart?
The Jin people are preparing for the attack on Chenzhou Gate. They used the "holes" as cover, transporting large quantities of firewood and earth to fill the moat. In order to deepen the moat, the Song army had decided to introduce water from the Bianhe River, but now the river is frozen. The Jin people also forced Minzhuang to bring sand and pile up the earth into earthen beams, and place the stones needed by the stone thrower.
The Song army in the city was powerless to stop them, so they could only stare dryly, because their activities were outside the range of arrows and cannons, and they couldn't hit them at all.
This taste is very painful and uncomfortable.
It's like holding a time bomb in your hand, you watch the time pass second by second, but you can't stop it.
Today, the Jin soldiers are storming Chenzhou Gate and Dongshui Gate again. They continued to bombard the walls of the city with cannons, and from time to time shells as large as millstones fell on the city, destroying many of the towers.
Yao Youzhong, a person who did not have a place in the Encyclopedia of Du Niang in later generations, is now the real pillar of Bianliang City.
Responsible for guarding the East Water Gate, as a water gate, there are two abduction cities in the north and south. Yao Youzhong commanded the soldiers to build two other round gates on the two kidnapping cities. They first built a wall of masonry about thirty paces from the face of the horse, like a wall. Then he opened a small round gate in the middle of the wall, and made a gate with a gange board, like a city gate, and placed a female wall around it. The enemy should enter and exit from the round gate, and if the enemy soldiers are heavy, they will put down the gange board from the round gate, and it will be another kidnapping city. In this way, you can effectively fight the enemy and protect yourself.
The East Water Gate is impregnable, as the key attack place of the Jin soldiers, but the Song army has a way to defend it, and it cannot be broken in the end, which is the power of Yao Youzhong.
Yao Youzhong also believed that the building surface on the tower of Xuanhua Gate was too wide and the space for activities was too large, and once the enemy army climbed the city wall, it would soon accumulate. He suggested that a virtual shed and a female wall should be added to the city wall, and two small gates should be set up next to the female wall, just like the city gate. In case the enemy enters the city, due to the limited separation, it can not only limit the field of activity of the enemy army who ascends the city, but also become a barrier for the Song army to kill the enemy.
It's a pity that this suggestion was blocked by Qin Yuan in Gyeonggi, and the imperial court did not adopt it.
So much so that in order to prevent the Jin soldiers from attacking the city wall on a large scale, he often led elite soldiers out of the city, relying on the abduction city to fight with the Jin soldiers repeatedly.
The same is true of this day. Yao Youzhong personally led the generals to supervise the battle, and the Jin soldiers clashed several times, and the two sides suffered casualties on both sides, regardless of victory or defeat.
When Mu Han returned to the camp in Qingcheng in the southwest, his face was very unpleasant, the Song army in the southeast corner was really tenacious and daring to fight, but this is really the weakest place in Bianliang City.
"Prime Minister of State, the captured Nanban said that Emperor Zhao only issued a royal pen yesterday, conveyed to all parts of the four walls of the capital, saying that it was Fan Zongyin who first discussed cutting the land, and now I am a soldier again, so that Emperor Zhao is disappointed in the hearts of the world, and he should be dismissed. This is nothing more than to show that the land was not negotiated in the first place. So why don't you teach me to go to the city again? The Song people still dare to turn me away? pierced Emperor Zhao's falsehood, and the morale of the Song army was shaken. Urintha said from the side.
This person is also called Wuling Simou, a veteran of Jin diplomacy and a confidant of Mu Han.
"Then take Xiao Qing and Yang Zhen as the deputies, and take Feng Lu to go on another trip." Sticky Han immediately made up his mind. As long as this golden envoy enters the city, it will be seen by the Song people, and it can weaken the morale of the Song people.
The main force of the Jin army on the west road camped in the southeast of the city, and it was not far from the Liquan Temple in the city. Most of the scouts sent by the Song army to the city were captured by the Jin. The Jin people lured them, but instead learned a lot of facts in the city.
At the same time, the eyeliner in Hedong, Hebei Province also kept coming to the news that the emperor of the Song Dynasty changed his orders every day, and there were repeated battles and uncertainties, so that the Song people first lost thirty percent of their morale.
The same is true for now.
When Salumu enters the city, she will be carefully entertained by the Song people, how can the news not spread?
Although this is just a trail, in the case of no breakthrough in the frontal battlefield in the short term, it can only attack the Song army like this.
In fact, at this time, Sticky Han had already had an intention in his heart.
Because of Zhao Go's activities.
A large number of Song troops north of the Yellow River were mobilized, and the latter sent Zong Ze to break Li Gudu's Jin troops and then took advantage of the situation to the south of the Yellow River.
Now Puzhou, now it has arrived in Xingren Mansion.
And Zhao Gou himself intends to connect with the Yingtian Song army, the latter has tens of thousands of people, if he is manipulated, then this is not to mention the Nanban Kang King, who has three points of courage, and there are more than 100,000 troops under his command.
This is a great threat!
However, the city of Tokyo is strong, and there is no sign of fall for many days, there is a strong city inside, and there is a strong army outside, and the fate of the Jin army is only to withdraw the troops.
This is also one of the reasons why he asked Salumu to connect with the Song people.
If you really want to retreat in the future, you must always reap the benefits before leaving!
Of course, if Wanyan Yan's mother can take down Zhao Gou in one fell swoop, then he will have to make another plan.
But what Mu Han never expected was that the news from Ying Tianfu was that Wanyan Yan's mother was dead.
Not only did he die, but Wanyan also died, and the fast horse who came to report actually said that he was shot by Zhao Gou in the formation, and Mu Han felt that he was listening to mythological stories.
But regardless of whether this is a story or not, the defeat of the more than 10,000 cavalry troops he sent was killed by the Song army is an unchangeable fact, and later it was chased by the Song army.
It's no wonder that Sticky Han can still sit still. Immediately sent someone to inform him that he would not leave, and he even rushed to Liujia Temple in person.
When he saw that he was leaving, the latter was waiting for Sticky Han with an iron face.
"Prime Minister of State, is the incident reported by Shicai true?" He was just like Fan Ne and Zhao Ye in Ying Tianfu City, and he couldn't believe that Zhao Gou personally went into battle to kill the enemy.
"How can I laugh at such a big event." Sticky Han said helplessly.
He knew that this was too unexpected, but he believed that Wan Yan Yan's mother would not dare to make such a joke if she lived. Therefore, Wanyan Yan's mother must be dead.
"So what's the right time for now?"
"There is a strong city inside, and there are soldiers outside, and it seems that only retreat is feasible."
In this battle in history, Zhao Gou ran from the daimyo to Qilu, although there were 100,000 soldiers and horses, but they did not give the Jin army outside Bianjing City a threat and containment at all.
It's not the same as it is now.
Not to mention that there is no scourge of Guo Jing in Bianliang City, even if he is not Jin Bing's opponent after all, he can always hold on for a longer time than the original time and space.
I couldn't say anything for a while, "I'm unwilling." ”
"I'm not reconciled. But what can be done about the situation? "Sticky Han doesn't want to.
This will take down Bianliang City and capture the emperor of the Song people, so the entire Central Plains will not be their own.
When they went south to the Central Plains, for the first time, they only targeted the three northern towns. But this time they went south again, and what they saw was no longer the three towns of Taiyuan, or even the land north of the Yellow River, but the entire Central Plains.
"One person counts short, two counts long. Why don't the generals and Chinese all gather together and discuss together! He said again.
There is no reason for Sticky Han to disapprove.
Then a cadre of the Jin army, a Jurchen nobleman, as well as Liu Yanzong and other Liao countries surrendered to Jin Hanchen, plus Yelu Yujian, Yelu Ma Wu and others all arrived.
Sticky Han sits in the first place, and when it comes to status, he is better than the second prince.
Don't look at the inseparable father (Aguta) is the founding emperor of Dajin, and he is also called the second prince by the Song people, in fact, the heir to the throne is not him at all. At present, it is Wu Qimai who is the emperor, and the first heir to the throne is Wu Qimai's younger brother Wanyan Xianye.
They are the same as Ah Guta, they are all from the Lazy Clan of Queen Yijian.
And like Wanyan Yan's mother, that is Ah Guta's half-brother, who is a concubine.
The traditional rule of the Jurchens is that the brother dies and the brother dies, not the father and the son.
Ah Gu was killed, and it was Wu begging to buy. Because of his early death. And Wu begged to buy it to death, and it was Wanyan Xianye. Wan Yan Xian also died, so it was Ah Gu's turn to fight this one.
And whether it is his turn to be the emperor or not, it is a matter of two things.
But sticky Han, starting from his grandfather's generation, that is Wanyan Nuzhen's national theory is extremely strong (equivalent to the national minister). He is the leader of the noble generals of the outer branch clan in Wanyan Jurchen.
The black press pressed the head of the people and said dozens of people, but after Sticky Han announced the evil news of Yan Yanmu and others, he was in an instant uproar.
