Chapter 52: A Heavy Decision

What should an emperor look like? Pure-hearted? Be ruthless and unjust.

Zhao Huan asked himself if he couldn't do it, he couldn't do it at all, and he couldn't watch his subjects being killed, and he was indifferent. He would empathize with the orphans and widows who were lying in the snow, ruthlessness was the quality of an emperor.

It's a pity he didn't.

Li Gang received the order to go all out to prepare for the siege of the city, and worked day and night to improve the drawings of the decisive chariot, and Zhao Huan finally saw the complete decisive chariot.

The bed crossbow with a new transmission design only needs one loader, one launcher, and two winch players, and the rate of fire of the bed crossbow has also been increased from a loading speed of one round in five minutes to a speed of one round in three minutes.

The size has also changed from the size of a bed to the size of a slender desk.

A decisive chariot can now be equipped with two bed-sized crossbows the size of a desk, and there are only 8 crossbowmen on board.

A wooden lid was also added, inlaid with iron sheets, to prevent the crossbowmen from being killed.

The number of non-commissioned officers from fifty-five was also sharply reduced to thirty.

The first decisive chariot of the finished product was not the seed army of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhao Huan's Zhen descendant troops, which were personally subordinate to the official army, and the next commander was Bingyi Lang Yue Fei, who was personally appointed by Zhao Huan.

"Official, the decisive chariot is completely finalized, and full production will begin tomorrow. Official, is there anything else you want to order? Li Gang handed the blueprint of the decisive chariot to Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan is very satisfied with the chariot, except for the name of the middle two.

He stared at Bianjing Kanyu in a daze, this city is solid, but on the side of Taiyuan City, I don't know what the battle situation is. So far, we have not received any military reports.

The Battle of Taiyuan City is the core node of the Jin Army's southward movement this time.

In the big tent of the Jin soldiers, Wanyan Zongwang also looked at Bianjing in a daze, and had to sigh at the resoluteness of the Central Plains Dynasty to defend the city.

The resistance of the Great Song soldiers exceeded his expectations, and the new emperor, who had just ascended the throne, was resolute and more than he expected!

"From now on, I'm a big song! There is no harmony between the Han and the family! No Tang Alliance! There is no previous year-old thin coin! There is no gift of brother and enemy! The monarch dies, the doctor dies, and the soldier dies! It's like that! Till death rest! It's very resolute! Wanyan Zongwang sighed.

Wanyan Ningji, who he had had high hopes for, didn't bring him any good news, but instead told him that Yuwen Xuzhong was not a big problem.

So what's the problem? Wanyan Zongwang was unprecedentedly confused.

Bianjing City has been unable to attack for a long time, and it has been more than ten days since Yan Ningji and Yuwen Xuzhong returned, and Chenzhou Gate, which has been breached once, has been broken several times in the past ten days!

But so what? He didn't get anything but the corpses he left behind!

What made him even more unbearable was that in the past ten days, the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty kept going out of the city to attack the Jin soldiers' camp, setting fire to it if it was okay, or shooting a rain of arrows.

And this kind of frequent harassment made Wanyan Zongwang smell the crisis!

The Song people are not afraid to fight, but brave to fight, like a tiger tentatively attacking, testing the strength of their prey, once they are sure that their combat effectiveness is stronger than the other party, they will do their best to pounce.

He sensed the crisis! This crisis stems from instinct.

What now?

The soldiers of King Qin of the Great Song Dynasty are coming one after another.

His army scouts, who had already been in contact with the front army of the Qinwang army, had a weak will to fight and were poorly equipped with the Great Song Qinwang army, which was not difficult to deal with, and many of them were bandits and the like, and had no combat experience with the army.

However, this is not a reason for him to underestimate Qin Wangbing.

The huge number of Qinwang soldiers, the more numerous, the stronger the combat effectiveness, gather millions of people, rush over, and step on it, you can trample on his 25,000 elite soldiers.

Bianjing is a hard bone that cannot be attacked for a long time, and the soldiers of King Qin will only increase, and the Han thief army has been exhausted in the past few days of attacking the city, and the two hundred trebuchets he carried have also consumed nearly a hundred.

These trebuchets were all seized from Yanjing Mansion.

There is also something that makes him extremely annoyed, and the number of cloud cars has become extremely rare.

The capture of Bianjing is already a fool's dream.

But he couldn't go.

As soon as he left, the 60,000 Great Song Western Army in Bianjing City would go directly to Taiyuan, and he would directly crush Yan Zonghan's army! Even the military powerhouse, Datong Mansion, may be ceded to the Song people.

At that time, it would be even more difficult for Jin Guo to bite Song Guo again.

When he learned that the 60,000 elites of the Seed Master Dao were all in the city, he was also shocked!

The courage of this new emperor simply exceeded ordinary people's expectations, let the border army enter the city, aren't you afraid that your head will be chopped off?

He learned from Deng Gui that the new emperor of the Great Song Dynasty actually let the border army enter the city, and he could only admire his courage!

What to do?

Wanyan Zongwang's heart was extremely complicated, and when he came to the capital of the Central Plains Dynasty, he didn't even fight a decent battle, and the golden soldiers had lost the opportunity to break through the city.

Now he doesn't even have the army to besiege Bianjing, so he can only watch Bianjing continue to receive displaced people from the north, and he has nothing to do.

As long as this is the case, he will choose to continue to be stationed in the capital of Bianjing, after all, his elite of 30,000 people is stationed in the heart of the enemy country, and he can give a fatal knife at any time, which is of even greater strategic significance.

However, the Great Song army has a new trick, and his current army can't get close to the range of 300 steps of Bianjing City, otherwise he will be killed.

The accuracy of Da Song's bed crossbow has improved tremendously every day, which makes him extremely shocked!

What is it that makes such a miracle work? The previous hit of the bed crossbow was all about the bed crossbow that God appreciated the face, and suddenly became accurate!

You must know that before this, the accuracy of the bed crossbow was more than about two hundred steps, and the hits were very casual.

But now this distance has been further expanded, three hundred paces, and the siege charge is enough for the Great Song to carry out two rounds of volleys.

Deng Gui's intelligence shows that the new emperor of the Great Song Dynasty seems to be an inventor, and the ordnance supervisor seems to have poured new equipment, but he can't get more information, because there are convoys sent into the imperial city every day. Covered with a huge black canvas. I couldn't see the details at all.

And Deng Gui said that the intelligence lines of the palace maids buried in the imperial city were all broken. Under the vigorous rectification of the previous commander Shen Cong, the current imperial palace is already tighter than before.

What is under the black canvas? He didn't want to be tempted.

The Central Plains Dynasty was the first to be equipped with stirrups, bows, and iron tools during the Qin and Han dynasties, forming an absolute suppression of the Xiongnu and then destroying the Xiongnu.

And the Tang Empire was the first to be equipped with cavalry by Emperor Shizong Taizong of the Tang Empire, and the Xuanjia Army was the best in the world!

800 mounted cavalry attacked 100,000 troops, which happened repeatedly, and nearly 10,000 people wiped out 100,000 Turkic troops, which became famous all over the world.

As for military and tactical things, he asked himself that the northern nations were no worse than the Central Plains Dynasty, but the northern nations that had been exterminated many times lacked precisely equipment and combat systems.

He hesitated for a long time, and sighed at the dark city wall of Bianjing. I know that this is no longer a place to stay.

He decided to retreat to the Daimyo's Mansion overnight, then transferred to Xingzhou, and then entered the Taihang Mountains from Xingzhou, crossed Maling Pass, and entered Taiyuan Mansion.

Join the decisive battle against Taiyuan Mansion, if Taiyuan City wins, the two armies and the Jin soldiers in one place will once again advance to Bianjing.

There are only 60,000 elite Great Song Dynasty, and they can't stop the Jin soldiers at all, and they can decide the winner in one battle at that time.

You can even destroy the Song Kingdom!

If the Jin soldiers failed to win a big victory in Taiyuan City and retreated to Datong Mansion, they could protect the Datong Basin, which was of great significance to the Jin State.

The most critical thing is that he doesn't want to do any experiments with his own army, Wanyan Zongwang Department, this is his descendant troops, and if he loses these troops, he will lose all his right to speak in the Jin Kingdom.

At that time, his enemies will definitely open their mouths and eat him clean!

He couldn't try.

"Xi Yin, pass the order down, wrap the horse's hooves in cloth tonight, withdraw to the north bank of the Yellow River, and then go straight to the Daimyo's Mansion." Wanyan Zongwang made this decision very heavily.

If you can't enter the mountain in Xingzhou, enter the Taihang Mountain, go deep into the Hedong Road, and can't rush to help Taiyuan, you must take a detour.

Back to Yanjing, pass Juyong Pass and turn into Yunzhou, then to Datong Mansion, and then to Taiyuan, this way detour, about four months.

And from Xingzhou, entering the Taihang Mountains to support Taiyuan, it only takes a month's march! Soldiers' speed! There are only two ways into the mountain, and the speed is a little slower, so he should go directly back to Liaodong from Shanhaiguan.

His ambition is great, at the moment of breaking through the Chenzhou Gate! He already saw the hope of destroying his country.

However, when the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty took blood as the city and drove the Jin soldiers out of the city gate, he already knew that he did not have the ability to break through Bianjing independently, and he stayed here all the time, completely trying the impossible possibility.

But it seems that God did not favor him, but the Great Song Army became stronger and stronger.

Wanyan Xiyin already knew this result, maybe he was more sober than Wanyan Zongwang, and the moment the Han thief army was driven away by the Great Song Western Army with fierce fire oil, he knew that this time it would be in vain.

At the time of the attack on the camp, there were only dead soldiers in the Jin Soldiers' camp, and the Great Song Dynasty, who carried out the attack plan so accurately, was not at all the Great Song Dynasty that he thought that the dynasty was sluggish and faint.

It's just that he couldn't persuade Yan Zongwang to finish, because Yan Zongwang's ambition was already written on his face.

"I'm going to go and spread the word to the ministries. It's just that there is no need to leave quietly at all, the Great Song Army lacks a horse army, and it is impossible to chase and kill, so it is completely unhindered. "He is in the barracks, and he will completely obey Yan Zongwang's orders, instead of being self-righteous.

"I have my own plan." Wanyan Zongwang replied.

……

Zhao Huan was woken up by Zhao Ying!

He rubbed his slightly hazy eyes, and was dumbfounded when he heard the news that Wanyan Zongwang had quietly left the camp.

That's it? No more rounds of moves?

Zhao Huan is not abused and addicted, the sergeant who has never seen blood is not a sergeant at all, the family army is better, but the forbidden army on the city is much worse!

And in the past ten days, the Han thief army has continued to attack Chenzhou Gate, and the forbidden army guarding the city has also been constantly honing itself in the battle array, and finally has a bit of the meaning of a soldier.

Moreover, the organization of night raids on many occasions also played a certain role in military training.

Is this gone?

"Xuanzi Dao! Li Gang! Shen Cong! Yue Fei come here! Overnight pursuit! Herald Zongze! The whole army keeps up and occupies the main road to the Daimyo's Mansion! Disturb each other along the road"

"We must not let the Wanyan Sect reach Xingzhou first! Go to Taiyuan for support! ”

Zhao Huan finally waited for this day!
