Chapter 61 Although Taiyuan City was destroyed, the hearts of the people were not dead

Sun Yi was young and frivolous, agitating the words, and the arrogance between the lines made Wanyan Zonghan, who was already in his fifties, even more angry!

Because the Jin country boy is not as good as the Song boy! The new generation of the entire Jin Kingdom only has a little bit of Wanyan Zongbi, but the three-year-old looks young, and the seven-year-old looks old, Wanyan Zongbi's temperament, the internal fighting is okay, and in the foreign war, the results are mediocre in several battles of Liaojin.

Just this Sun Yi gave him a headache!

At most, he is a generation of teachers and masters, and the twilight of no successor makes him even more distressed!

"Persuade Zhang Xiaochun to surrender! He was given the post of prime minister. Taiyuan City must be taken as soon as possible. As soon as Yan Zonghan finished speaking, he saw the displeasure on the face of the white-haired old man.

The displeased person is Yelu Yujian, who is a traitor of the Liao State, and this person's wife is the sister of the concubine of the Tianzuo Emperor, because of the dispute between the princes of the Liao State, after losing power, the gold was lowered, and this person contributed a lot in the battle to destroy the Liao, and the Tianzuo Emperor was able to be annihilated by him in one fell swoop, and this person's credit accounted for at least thirty percent.

A traitor, no matter how high and high, can he go? Now he is only a general in the army.

In the Jin Kingdom, it is difficult for the traitors to achieve the position of the prime minister of the extremely popular minister, and the prime minister promised by Yan Zonghan is completely deceived Zhang Xiaochun, as long as this Zhang Xiaochun is deceived out of the city, it is enough to shake the hearts of the defenders of Taiyuan City.

It's just that there is someone who makes him quite uncomfortable but helpless. Not to mention the extremely popular ministers, he can occasionally be suppressed in the court. It's that Yuwen Xuzhong!

He was in the court, and he admonished both roads to go south from Shanhaiguan and go straight to Bianjing.

It is better to divide the troops into two ways, all the way from the west and all the way from the east.

The Eastern Route Army could force Bianjing, forcing the Song Dynasty to defend the capital and abandon Taiyuan, and the Western Route Army rejected the Western Army according to Tongguan in order to complete.

Yuwen Xuzhong was deeply liked by Wan Yan Sheng, the current emperor of Jinting.

What should I do if I return to Huanglong and take off the throne?

How did the country to the south come to be founded? Isn't that how it came about?

A yellow robe is not expensive.

Now that I think about it, it is better to join the army all the way out of Datong and go all the way south, and force Bianjing from Tongguan.

But there is no if, if you wait until the reinforcements of the Great Song Dynasty arrive, the 50,000 elites of the Jin soldiers and the 100,000 Khitannus will not be able to take Taiyuan at all!

Yelu Yu saw Yan Zonghan's face and knew what he was thinking.

I'm afraid that this person thinks that he is red-eyed when he hears that he is the prime minister?

He smiled bitterly, he didn't think that he should be in the phase of the Jin Kingdom, that position was given to him, and he didn't necessarily want to do it.

When he was a young man, he was a powerful man in the clan, and how many rebellions did he sweep away for Emperor Tianzuo in the southern and northern wars?

And finally? His wife and her sister died at the hands of Emperor Tianzuo.

In order to take revenge, he made a second minister, made the vanguard of the Jin country, captured the county of the Jin country, not only that, but also raised a banner to the emperor Tianzuo without virtue, established himself as the king, and summoned the Liao people as the flank of the Jin soldiers to conquer the city.

After taking revenge, he was immediately abandoned by the Emperor of Jin, and he showed no mercy.

He has already experienced it, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, is that position really so easy to do? He'd already experienced it. There is no interest in this.

He was still thinking about attacking the city at this time in Qi Zonghan!

If it is him, he will inevitably retreat to Datong Mansion and strictly guard the Datong Basin, if Datong is lost, then there is no possibility for the Jin Kingdom to go south.

Song Jun has changed!

Even the most elite Great Song Western Army has never shown such a tenacious character!

Three thousand heavy infantry, blocking nearly five thousand heavy cavalry! Like a reef on the edge of the sea, it stands firm in the encirclement and suppression of the heavy cavalry like the waves!

He had never seen such a tenacious Great Song army!

There must have been something that had changed that caused the morale of the Song army to be greatly boosted!

And it's not a morale change like a victory like arson burning a million military horse farms on Yunzhong Road.

He didn't know what was happening, but the essence of Song Jun's fear of war had changed!

Moreover, Song Bing is pedantic and gentle, and he can't do such a three-hundred-mile raid on Yunzhong Road!

The shackles that bound the Song army's head, and the emperor's procrastination in everything, have disappeared.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty has delegated power!

That's what he came to to conclusion. A few simple words are enough to make Song Jun a qualitative change.

Taiyuan City was broken five times, and the city wall was destroyed by 7788, less than 5 meters. Twenty-four stone roads have been added to the moat outside the city, but this Taiyuan city still can't be broken!

Han people are good at fighting! What kind of power will the Han people who have lost their shackles will burst out, he doesn't want to try at all.

That would cost lives.

However, he was not ready to remind Yan Zonghan, and was ready to run away, Yelu Dashi lowered his gold and rebelled, established Eastern Liao, and named his own head.

If the battle situation is unfavorable, I am afraid that my life will be in danger, and this Jin country will no longer have a place for him to stand.

Go to the Great Song? He didn't want to go. The literati in that place were too sour and rotten, and he couldn't stand it.

Then go to Western Xia!

"Xishuai, your subordinates are in different bodies. Can I go back and rest? Yelu Yu asked to leave, and Yan Zonghan agreed.

After the envoy of the Jin State came to Taiyuan City with a large amount of grain and meat, holding the envoy, naturally no one released arrows to kill this envoy, and the Han army still had this integrity.

The city wall of Taiyuan City has long been smashed by the trebuchet day and night, and has become mottled, and the highest point is no more than five feet, and there are ruins and broken walls everywhere.

The outermost moat has been paved with twenty-four stone roads, but the intersection of these twenty-four stone roads is firmly in the hands of the Song army, patrolling day and night, and it is impossible to attack at all.

Beyond the ruined walls is a 10-meter-high wooden wall that will be replaced immediately after being destroyed to block the bows and arrows of the golden soldiers.

Behind the wooden wall, there is a seven-meter-high goose wing platform, which is densely packed with trebuchets several meters high.

All the houses in the city were torn down and made into trebuchets, and the stones of the walls became stones for trebuchets.

Thousands of wooden walls with parallel buildings are lined up on the shore. This kind of string of buildings with two or three feet around the chestnut jujube elm locust wood as a vertical wood, into the soil five or six feet, high zhang yu, on the horizontal wood, set up arrow window, under the sheep and horse wall, each floor can resist the boulder of three trebuchets.

The Mongol army built an earthen city outside the city for 60 miles to besiege the city, and built a platform higher than the string of towers to control the city. Wang Yu ordered the army to fill the grass with oil, burn its platform, and set up seven layers of goose wings in the string building, and placed trebuchets, bed crossbows and other sharp weapons to defend the city.

Taiyuan, which seems to be in danger, has not been broken for a long time, and Wanyan Lou clearly knows that if the other party really dies, he will not surrender. It will take at least a hundred days for them to take this city.

By that time, there will really be nothing in the city, even the living will be dying, and it will be very difficult to starve even to move.

"Surrender! Surrender! You have proved the value of your existence with courage, this city will remember your name, history will remember your name, surrender, resist again, Xishuai is angry, the city is broken and slaughtered, and the old, weak, women and children will not be spared. Wan Yan Lou looked at the hungry Taiyuan defenders and muttered to himself.

The war is fought like this, and both sides are already fighting to the death. He clearly knew that this time he came only to deceive peace.

He stared at the white bones for a long time, and sighed so long that even the attendants heard them.

Will it be a success?

He didn't sigh about this, but guessed that there was less food in Taiyuan City than he thought.

Wanyan Lou Room wanted to go to Taiyuan City to negotiate peace, but Taiyuan City's strong bow and crossbow shot at the feet of Wan Yan Lou Room.

Stopped the other party from advancing!

"One step forward, no mercy!" The soldiers defending the city were already in a state of extreme hunger, and they could no longer help themselves when they saw the grain carts and meat, so they shot arrows to stop the other party's progress!

The Great Song reinforcements have already walked outside the city, they have already seen through the city wall that a steady stream of reinforcements are coming, they have already seen hope, and there is no need to listen to what the Jin Kingdom says.

Taiyuan City, which had been guarded for more than 180 days, finally ushered in the dawn.

Wanyan Lou Room stood next to the arrow and shouted loudly: "The Taiyuan defenders are loyal and brave, and the world can learn from it!" Today, there are 10 trucks of grain and 3 carts of meat! Xu Zhu will be a high-ranking official, and Xu Taiyuan will make Zhang Xiaozhong the prime minister! Open the gates, surrender and don't kill! ”

Zhang Xiaozhong stood at the head of the city, his legs couldn't stand straight, he actually wanted to agree, but before, he had not successfully surrendered to the enemy, and was noticed by Wang Yu, and forced with five hundred knives and axes, he did not dare to surrender, and now he is standing on the city wall, saying nothing.

"Golden Angel ......"

"Huh?"

"The thief who invaded the cockroach, why don't you retreat quickly? My Great Song Heavenly Soldiers have arrived! You will inevitably overturn and be under the power of the heavenly soldiers! It's you who surrender. Zhang Xiaochun's voice was very low, and Wang Yu was very skeptical that the other party could hear it.

Wan Yan Lou tried to take a step forward, but a sharp arrow was nailed to his feet!

The Song army didn't want to shoot this general, who was extremely noble just by looking at his appearance, and he didn't want to be broken at all.

There is certainly a reward for killing the general, but the Jin soldiers, who are extremely angry, will definitely try their best to tear apart the city defense and avenge the clan.

People have selfish intentions, the defenders of Taiyuan have been guarding for more than 180 days, they are already tired, and the merits of destroying the enemy should be handed over to the reinforcements.

They now prefer a hot meal and a few pieces of meat.

It is true that there is a shortage of food in the city, but it has not yet reached the point of cannibalism, and the white bones under the wooden gate are actually dead soldiers, and the Taiyuan defenders who are unable to clean up the battlefield can only let their corpses be torn apart by wild beasts at night.

ps: The wooden wall outside the city, the trebuchet refers to the method of stringing wooden walls outside the city when Du Gao fought with the Mongolian army in the late Southern Song Dynasty. Du Gao won a big victory.
