Chapter 848

"I can't imagine that the old man who has always written poetry and books will actually have the day of the battle." Su Dongpo stroked his long beard, quite a little bit of that, and his heart was really a little painful, blaming himself for hearing that the forbidden army from Jingshi had arrived that day, and also brought the will of the Son of Heaven.

Scholar Su, who was a little fluttering by the praise in the letter of the young emperor, immediately had a hot head and decided to rush over to command the battle in person.

Well, now that I finally have this opportunity, the problem is, I am really a civilian official, a civilian official who has never commanded a battle, what can I do now?

After thinking about it for a long time outside Yinzhou City, the Su scholar decided to hand over the command to the experienced veteran drivers.

"Generals, this battle, I have to ask you, now that Yinzhou is empty, it is a good opportunity for my Great Song Dynasty to regain the old land, even if it can't be won, it can also make those Liaoxia coalition forces who are storming Youzhou feel the pressure, so that Lord Xiao Wang can get more respite......"

"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely fight with our strength." Whether it is the general of the forbidden army who came from Beijing, or the general of the Western Army, when facing Su Dongpo, he is not only respectful but respectful.

Even if the Su University Scholar is not too familiar with military aircraft affairs, this world-famous Su University Scholar has many advantages.

That is, he never does anything beyond his ability, he will ask the relevant professionals about everything, he just makes a decision, and then leaves the professional problems to the professionals to complete.

What's more, with this old driver in charge, what he agrees to, even if it is the military envoy who has been appointed, there is no room for fingering.

After all, the prestige of the Su University, which is both civil and military, is almost invincible in the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, under the leadership of Master Su, those Great Song Dynasty generals not only did not have a feeling of being led by laymen, but felt that under the command of Master Su, they were more able to show their strengths.

This time, the forbidden army, together with the border army of the Great Song Dynasty, a total of 100,000 elite divisions gathered here, and also prepared a lot of siege weapons, and the city defense of Yinzhou City today is at most similar to the past Youzhou City, and it is not even as good as the old Yanzhou before.

Even before, the Western Xia people had already decided to join forces with the Liao State to attack the land of Sanzhou, and for this reason, they once again strengthened the cities of Zhuzhou near the Song Realm.

However, although the city was reinforced, the strength of the border towns and states became thinner and thinner because of the need to transfer part of the troops to join the Liao army.

In order for the Liaoxia coalition army to regain the land of Sanzhou with the momentum of devastation, the Western Xia specially transferred 50,000 horses from the eastern region, which made the Western Xia Prefectures, which had suffered heavy losses from the main force, appear to be more and more insufficient.

However, in the previous prediction, it should be to seize the land of Youzhou within ten days, and the Liaoxia army continued to move south to Hongzhou, so that if the Song army did not want to lose all its territory, it would inevitably gather the main army to hold on to the Liaoxia coalition army in the Hongzhou area.

In this way, where will the Song army have the spare strength to attack the states of the Xia Kingdom.

But so much time has passed, and Youzhou is like a lighthouse that seems to be crumbling in the midst of a super typhoon, but it still stands.

It was this lighthouse that greatly delayed the offensive of the Liaoxia coalition army, making it difficult to achieve the previous strategy, and as a result, the Song State was able to calmly transfer troops and send generals, and then, instead of reinforcing Youzhou, he came to Yinzhou.

A posture of fighting a snake trying to hit the middle of the middle. If it was in the past, more than 12,000 soldiers would be enough to defend the state city, but the problem is now wartime, and now 100,000 Song troops are besieging the city, and the heart of the fine seal is really bottomless.

And the worries of the fine seal Zhenlie soon became a reality, after the 100,000 divisions of the Song army arrived in Yinzhou, they played a fierce attack like a fate, and all kinds of siege weapons were as if they didn't need money, and they could go on it.

The city of Yinzhou, which was made of mud and was in disrepair, was understaffed by the defenders, and the young men of the party who had been temporarily conscripted were quite brave but lacked armor and blades.

Five days, only five days later, the soldiers in the city had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and the Song army attacked the city several times, although it was repelled by the defenders with their strength, but they also paid a heavy price.

Five full days have passed, and the seal is really strong, but he can't wait for half of the reinforcements, but what he is waiting for is the messenger he sent to Shizhou for help, embarrassed, the messenger with blood-stained clothes and armor only brought back a sentence from the Shizhou commander, and Shizhou has no extra soldiers and horses to rescue.

You can only hold on and wait for help, but don't worry, this commander has already sent a messenger to the Liaoxia coalition army to ask for help, and I believe that it won't be long before reinforcements will be sent.

"Reinforcements will definitely be sent, it won't be long? How long the fuck can I last? His right arm was pierced by the crossbow of the Song army, and he could only use his left hand to shake the letter of the Shizhou commander and roar angrily in the room.

"General, what is going on now?" The general next to him couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, looking at the robes around him where almost everyone was injured, he couldn't help but be a little confused. "In this situation, we can't last long."

"If you can't hold it, you have to hold it, if you don't save Li Yan and you for a dog day, if I can survive this catastrophe, I will definitely not be able to spare you." The fine seal Zhenlie angrily slapped the letter in his hand on the desk.

"General, we are now suffering nearly half of the casualties among our soldiers, do you want to send some young men from the city to help defend the city?"

"No, how much can those young men play, without armor, in front of the Song army's crossbow, they are completely sent to death."

He thought about it and nodded slowly. "Give the armor of the fallen soldiers to those young men, let them resist, and if they can withstand one more day, count it as one more day, and count it up, the messenger sent by the general should have also rushed to the city of Youzhou, as long as a reinforcement can be sent, then my Yinzhou should be guaranteed."

Seeing that the fine seal Zhenlie was so stubborn, the generals also knew that there was no other good way, even if the Song army was now in a formation of encircling three and one, leaving the north gate not to attack, but who dared to predict whether there would be an ambush of the Song army here.

Compared with the gloomy clouds in Yinzhou City, the Song army camp outside the city was in full swing, although the soldiers also suffered a lot of casualties, but seeing that the enemy army on the head of Yinzhou City was weakening day by day, victory was already in sight, and they were naturally excited.

And Master Su has been in a pretty good mood these days, why, isn't it just because the soldiers are using their lives that victory is in sight? Previously, as a pacification envoy of Shaanxi Road, although Su Daxue had already experienced the defensive battle of Huanzhou, the battle of Hongdezhai blockade, and the battle of seizing Sanzhou.
