Chapter 669: Thank you to Emperor Zhao of the Central Plains

Under the city of Jinzhou, another golden soldier arrived at the city.

When Guo Yaoshi looked at the city, he saw a gray ocean, connected from end to end, and could not be seen at a glance, stretching for more than ten miles.

The generals in the city looked at the Jin army coming to reinforce again, their faces were gloomy, and the atmosphere was depressing.

"I'm afraid that there will be 50,000 Jurchen horses outside the city, it's really shocking!" After all, Jinzhou is just a battlefield.

After Yelu Yu saw the surrender of the Jin army, the Liao army in this place had no will to fight for a while, and would have no will to fight. When the Jin army was in Koucheng, if it wasn't for Guo Yaoshi leading his troops to fight desperately, this Jinzhou City would have fallen into the hands of the Jin army a long time ago. I can't wait for the hope to return to the insurance rate department to help.

"Hugh said that there are 50,000 troops, that is, there are 100,000 soldiers, what can I do?" Guo Yaoshi hugged his fist to the main general Hui Baoyi and said, "Although my Jinzhou is small, it is small and strong. The city is high and deep, the grain is sufficient, there are 10,000 people stationed inside, there are more than 10,000 cavalry outside, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians as the backing, that is, the golden soldiers dare to fight, and our army is not weaker than them. ”

The Battle of Jinzhou did not involve just one city of Jinzhou, although it was the gate of the Jinxi Corridor, it was not possible for a city to block the entire corridor.

Therefore, the Liao army was divided into two, one inside and one outside. Inside the city are Hui Libao and Guo Yaoshi, and outside the city are Yelu Ma Wu and Xiao Dahai.

Guo Yaoshi also proposed to organize Ding Zhuang in the city to participate in the defense of the city, so as to liberate part of the police force in the city, but the return to the protection has not been decided for a long time. He naturally knew where the scruples of returning to Bao were, and Jin Bing had already clamored for the people in the city to behave for themselves. If you dare to help the Khitan, you will break the city in the future, and no people and animals will be left.

Hui Libao was worried that organizing Ding Zhuang in the city would give Jin Bing an opportunity. Because once those Ding Zhuang make chaos at a critical moment, it will be impossible to clean it up.

In this way, it is better to let them be quiet from beginning to end, and the vigilance of the partitions and blocks is even more worry-free and effort-saving.

"Send someone to Nanjing Dao for help......" said the general.

"Two groups of people have been sent to Nanjing Road to ask for help, but there is no news back so far, which is really worrying......"

"Then it will be a few days. Maybe the Dading Mansion has been taken by the Jin army now. "There has never been a shortage of monks in the Khitan army who hit the clock for a day.

A group of generals spoke softly, and behind them, groups of soldiers, armed with bows and crossbows, or carrying rolling stones, sasswood, oil cans, and arrows. Replenish the garrison on the head of the city.

At the same time, the sticky drink that had just arrived, that is, Sticky Han, and Yan Zonghan was also looking at Jinzhou City from afar. This is the first heavy general under Wanyan Aguda's subordinates.

Guo Yaoshi's old opponent Wanyan Xi Gu Nai, commanded the army to attack Jinzhou, failed to succeed in several attacks, and reported to Wanyan Agu, which made the Jurchen high-level angry, and immediately sent a sticky drink to come.

The army even carried a sharp weapon to attack the city, thanks to the support of Zhao Song. Otherwise, as far as the Jurchens are concerned, how can they have such a sharp weapon in their hands.

Standing on a high platform and looking into the distance, behind him, many generals stood solemnly, also staring at the city defense of Jinzhou City.

This is a small city, one hundred and twenty steps in five miles, but it is more than three zhang high. But it was strengthened by the Liao army over the years. According to Xi Gu Nai, the city walls are also very thick, and the moats are wide and deep, which has affected the attack of the Jin army. And it is the hard bones of Pharmacist Guo who defend the city.

In the past, such a city was really a catastrophe for the Jin army.

But now......

Sticky didn't drink and looked at it carefully, Fang said loudly: "Go and make someone shout and persuade you to surrender." Tell them that now that Kaesong surrenders, I will be able to pay a lot of money and not blame the past, and regard them as glorious warriors. But when it comes to breaking the city, it will be regarded as cattle and sheep to be slaughtered. ”

After speaking, he didn't look at the city anymore without drinking, but only made an estimate in his heart, calculating that he could take this Jinzhou in a few days.

He was sent by Wanyan Aguta, and he had a secret weapon.

"Don't worry. Jinzhou City seems to be strong, but it will soon be taken down. If you don't drink it, Xi Gu Nai and the others are confused, and a smile appeared at the corner of the former's mouth, "If you want to thank you, go and thank the emperor of the Song Kingdom in the Central Plains." ”

He really wanted to meet the Emperor Zhao who had lost most of the country. Ask him for himself, is he a fool to give them such a powerful catapult?

If you use the thunderbolt cannon, you may be able to take Jinzhou City in a few days. And isn't he afraid that the Dajin Kingdom will use it to destroy the city and attack the Central Plains?

The rich Central Plains has always been the fastest, fattest and delicious fresh meat in the eyes of the Jurchens. However, the Lu Qi Dynasty in the Central Plains was a major obstacle to their advance into the Central Plains. And the tall and fortified cities in the Central Plains are also stumbling blocks blocking their progress......

Did the emperor surnamed Zhao really think that they would keep the agreement? I can't understand how there can be such a stupid person in the world, and take the initiative to teach the sword in my hand to others.

This weapon, invented by the Emperor of Qi in the Central Plains, is more powerful than you can imagine. In the past few years, he has relied on this powerful siege machine to break the tall and strong city in the Central Plains again and again.

But the Jurchens did not call it the Liangshan Cannon, but changed its name to the Thunderbolt Cannon. Because every time it is activated, it is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it is extremely powerful.

Sticky didn't drink it and quickly frowned slightly, a flash of anger flashed on his face, and he shook his hand and got off the high platform.

However, a Jurchen officer, followed by several retinues, rode his horse towards Jinzhou City, and then was shot into a hedgehog by a strong crossbow on the head of the city.

On the next five days, the fighting between the two sides ceased, and the Jin soldiers never launched an attack on Jinzhou City again. Not even harassment.

Until the early morning of another day. The hoarfrost stained the yellow leaves of the withered grass with a thin layer of crystalline frost. The entire city of Jinzhou was shrouded in a layer of hazy morning mist, which made people unable to see the situation at the head of the city clearly, and at the same time, the defenders at the head of the city could not see the golden soldiers outside the city clearly.

It's the crisp autumn season, and when the sun shines brightly, the remaining fog of the early morning quickly fades in the sunlight. Xiaoling River [Xiaoling River] appeared in people's eyes again, looking from afar, the eyes were full of shining water marks, the breeze was blowing, and it was slightly rippling.

A puddle ten miles away from Jinzhou City, where the Jin cavalry was stationed. On the surface of the lake, which is several miles wide, it seems as if it has been clarified, and the green is so innocent, like a clean and flawless emerald.

Today's weather is fine, the mist has cleared, there is not a single cloud in the blue sky, and there seems to be not a single bird in sight.

Twenty thunderbolt cannons were pushed under the city of Jinzhou, and when the mist completely dispersed, the follow-up stone shells were also delivered, and Wan Yan Xiyin, who led the artillery team, gave an order, and began to load the cannonballs.

After Zhao Song tasted the taste of being beaten for a long time, the Liao army also officially tasted this taste.

- Very strongly.

"Boom! Bang! Thundered! ”

Piece after stone, arcing through the air, with a whistling sound, swooped straight towards the fortified city wall. The city of Liao is also rammed earth, no matter how careful it is when it is built, how can it withstand the bombardment of counterweight stone cannons?

The cannonstones smashed on the city wall were potholes the size of pots. The smashed rammed earth roared like rain.

The castle tower is the object of heavy targeting, and it is not a piece of cake to blast down the huge city head of the target when the artillery stones are hit. Just when Guo Yaoshi and Zhen Wuchen fled from the city in shock, the two-story city tower had completely collapsed.

"Straight lady thief, where did the Jurchen savages get the stone cannon, so sharp?"

Zhen Wuchen is also a veteran, although he hasn't been in the city for long, he can't think about it. First, the stone cannon was fast; Second, the force of this cannon is too great; Thirdly, the stone is too close.

These cannons were completely different from the ones they usually saw here in the Liao army. "Old Guo, this stone cannon is powerful. How do I think it is quite similar to the Liangshan cannon in Mr. Yang's mouth? ”

"Boom!" A cannon stone flew over the city, scraping against the ruins of the collapsed floors, and flew into the city. Look at that height, if the tower had not fallen, it would have hit the head of the city.

The ruins of the city tower were wiped down by the artillery, and the debris that flew out of the city screamed again and again.

Pharmacist Guo's expression, which was originally stunned by Zhen Wuchen's words, immediately turned into coldness.

"I'm afraid it's the Liangshan cannon. Otherwise, why would the artillery outside the city be so accurate? ”

A sense of fear arose in Pharmacist Guo's heart. If this is really a Liangshan cannon, Jinzhou City is also in danger. He had long known a lot of Liangshan Artillery's great achievements from Yang Lin's mouth. The famous cities and counties in the Central Plains can't withstand it, and small northern cities like Jinzhou are even more vulnerable.

The repeated bombardment of the stone cannons outside the city had already caused a panic in Jinzhou City. The collapse of the castle tower caused some casualties among the defenders, causing the soldiers and officers above and below the city to be pale, staggering backwards, and panicking.

Jinzhou is also close to Liaodong, and the situation of the Jurchens is clear. I never thought that those uncivilized barbarians would have such siege weapons. After only a few rounds of artillery firing, the tower was smashed.

The stone cannons outside the city were obviously much more powerful than ordinary stone cannons. It slammed down on the city, causing the whole city wall to shake violently.

"King!" There was a shout from someone around, but they left the horse and galloped over. The rapid collapse of the city walls apparently caused unease in the city's Hui Libao.

But when he saw that everyone in the city was panicked, no matter how uneasy he was about leaving, he was all suppressed.

But after turning his back on these people, his face was full of hideousness, anger and uneasiness.

Constantly bombarded by such sharp weapons, no matter how strong and heavy the Jinzhou city wall is, it can't afford it. He ventured to the top of the city before, I'm afraid that in another three or five days, this city wall will finally be blasted out of a gap, right?

"You mean it's the Liangshan cannon outside the city?" Hui Libao was really taken aback. He had also heard of the name of Liangshan Cannon, but he had never taken it to heart. He is the king of Xi, and the palace is in the prairie. Speech there relied on horses and swords and guns, not bulky siege equipment.

But recently, he finally has to face it squarely.

"The King. If this is really a Liangshan cannon, Jinzhou City is in danger. I'll have to plan ahead. "They were able to withstand the onslaught of the Jin soldiers outside the city in Jinzhou, not only because of the bravery of the soldiers in the city, but also because of the high city walls.

And if there is no city wall, it will be a broken coconut, and no matter how big it is, it will be bad.

……

Qiongzhou in the South China Sea thousands of miles away.

The Changhua Army in the northwest of the island, the mouth of the Lunjiang River. In a small port, there are ships and laborers carrying and unloading in and out.

The military city of Changhua Army stands at the mouth of the Lunjiang River, and its sea is a strait thirty or twenty miles long, and there is an island called Lion Rock at the head.

It is in the shape of a long strip, like a cork in the strait. Sheltering the strait, the Qi army regarded it as an advance base for attacking South Vietnam, rather than Qiongzhou.

At this moment, hundreds of large and small ships gathered in the strait, thousands of miles away, sail walls, and red flags waving in the wind.
