Chapter 350: Siege
Zhao Tao wanted to say something, but was forcibly taken down by Li Biao and others.
Zhang Wu looked at Zhao Tao, who was taken down, turned his head and said to Hao Jingcheng: "My lord, now I am in the same boat with you, you must help me!" ”
Hao Jingcheng nodded and said to Zhang Wu: "This is the most correct decision you have made in your life!" ”
As he spoke, the vanguard of the Jin army had already arrived at the city of Licheng.
"Hurry up and open the gates!" The Jin army under the city shouted at the top.
"General, what shall we do?" The soldiers in front ran over and asked Zhang Wu for instructions.
Zhang Wu turned his head to look at Hao Jingcheng, and unconsciously, now Hao Jingcheng has become his backbone.
"Tell them, stop moving forward, don't go any further!" Hao Jingcheng said lightly.
The herald looked at Hao Jingcheng, and didn't know Hao Jingcheng's identity, so he subconsciously said at this time: "If we don't let them advance, won't they move forward?" I'm afraid they won't listen to us. ”
Hao Jingcheng smiled and said softly: "If they don't listen, it's easy to do, pick up the bow and arrow in your hands and shoot them!" ”
The herald was taken aback and hurried to see Zhang Wu, but at this time he found that Zhang Wu did not refute, nodded and said, "Just do what the adults tell you." ”
"General, but we only have more than 10,000 defenders, and the Jin army on the opposite side looks like there are tens of thousands of people." The herald muttered quietly.
"Nonsense, didn't I open my eyes? Can't I see it myself? Can you tell me? Zhang Wu said angrily: "Why don't you hurry up!" ”
When the herald saw Zhang Wu angry, he hurriedly ran away.
"Our general said that you are not allowed to enter the city, so you should take a detour elsewhere." Soon, the herald shouted loudly below.
The general of the Jin army who led the troops below was Wan Yanchun, at this time he heard the shouts of the people above, and his nose was crooked, thinking that when the army waved south, the defenders of Licheng surrendered directly, and the Jin army did not pay too much attention to this Licheng at that time, and it was still the Song Dynasty official who surrendered by appointee, but he did not expect that this group of people would be treacherous at a critical moment.
"General, what should I do? Let's get in, shall we? A Jin soldier next to him said to Wan Yanchun.
Wan Yanchun grabbed the giant axe in his hand hard, gritted his teeth, and said to the soldier next to him: "You go and report this matter to the general immediately." ”
The herald next to him hurriedly went to report the matter to Wanyan Zonghan.
The Jin army's 60,000 troops, the number of people is too many, coupled with the relatively low morale, at this time, the team dragged on for a long time, and the herald ran all the way and reported the news to Wanyan Zonghan.
After Yan Zonghan heard the news, he was also taken aback, and said with a frown: "Song Jun, they actually dare to do this!" ”
Wan Yan, the deputy general next to him, said to Wan Yan Zonghan: "General, the Song army is treacherous, this has always been their tradition, even their emperor is such a person, we shouldn't believe in them too much at that time." ”
Wan Yan Zonghan glared at Wan Yan and said, "What's the use of talking about these things now, the top priority now is to solve the problem in front of you." ”
Wan Yan was glared at by Wan Yan Zonghan, and he also knew that it was really useless to say these things at this time, so he took a deep breath, and he said to Wan Yan Zonghan: "General, at this time, we can only rush up and break through the city gate. ”
Wanyan Zonghan looked at Wanyan in front of him suspiciously, and asked, "Why is this?" ”
Wan Yan said to Wan Yan Zonghan: "General, look at the current situation, our army is demoralized, and we urgently need a victory to boost morale. ”
After a pause, Wan Yan continued: "If you don't fight this battle, then we must bypass this Licheng, which will also be extremely unfavorable for our army, so we must fight this battle, and we must win a big victory!" ”
Wanyan Zonghan heard what Wanyan said, frowned and said, "I naturally hope that this battle can be won big, but what if I can't win?" Do you know what it means to us if we can't break through the gates of this city in a short time? ”
"General, the Song army has a sentence that if it is not successful, it will become benevolent, and it will be born after death, now instead of our army being chased by the Song army like this, it is better to break open this city gate, otherwise when will we run until the end of the run?" Wan Yan asked rhetorically.
Wanyan Zonghan frowned, groaned and did not speak.
Wan Yan continued: "And general, as long as our army can break through the gate of this Licheng, when the time comes, the army will be stationed in Licheng and rely on this city wall to defend it, even if the Song army comes with 200,000 troops, we will not be afraid." ”
"I naturally understand what you said, but what you think are all about the situation of the city being broken, what if the city can't be broken?" Wan Yan Zonghan asked rhetorically.
"General, since following His Majesty Taizu's army, my Dajin soldiers have fought bloodily, even in such a difficult environment, they are still fearless, and now our army is several times larger than the enemy's army, are we still cowering? At this time, we can only break the cauldron and fight against the water, only in this way can we achieve the precarious situation of saving our current Dajin country! Wan Yan said excitedly.
Wanyan Zonghan's heart moved, Wanyan said well, when the Jin Kingdom was just founded, how difficult the conditions were, but the people of the Jin Kingdom still stubbornly survived, and the current life is much more comfortable than that time, and sure enough, a comfortable life can kill people's fighting spirit, and when they encounter danger at this time, the first thing they think of is to retreat.
Wanyan Zonghan smiled bitterly, and said to Wanyan: "You are right, but I have some women's kindness, okay, just follow what you said, pass on my military order, the whole army will attack, within an hour, I will open the gate of Licheng, whoever is the first to break the city, this general will be greatly rewarded, if anyone dares to escape from the battle, it will be dealt with directly by military law!" ”。
When Wan Yan heard what Wan Yan Zonghan said, his heart was excited, and he gave Wan Yan Zonghan a salute and said, "Please rest assured that the general will live up to the general's trust!" ”
Wanyan Zonghan's right eyelid jumped violently a few times, at this time, Wanyan Zonghan always had an ominous premonition in his heart, he didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong, he shook his head, cleared these messy thoughts, and then said to the herald: "Send all the spies to me and pay close attention to the movements of the Song army." ”
