Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng appointed Tan Ban Bo Ji Lie Gao and the marshal of the capital, and led the army to attack the Song Dynasty in two ways. The Western Route Army was led by the left deputy marshal Wanyan Zonghan and attacked Taiyuan from Xijing Dadong Mansion; The eastern route was led by the right deputy marshal Wanyan Zongwang, and attacked Yanshan Mansion from Nanjing Xijin Mansion.

Yanshan Mansion is also known as Youzhou, Yanzhou and other places where Zhao Gou is located. Wanyan Zonghan led a large army in Gubei and confronted the Song army; Wanyan Zongwang led the army of the Eastern Road to confront the Song army at Dushi. Zhao Gou had already learned the information, so he sent his generals to the front.

The army on the east road was controlled by him personally, and the army on the west road Zhao Gou passed down the order, letting Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Liu Guangshi, and Liu Qi lead more than ten deputy generals to command the army of 50,000 and fight with the Jin soldiers in Dushi. Because Zhao Gou had deployed in advance, the army on the Western Route did not take advantage of half of it.

In addition, Zhao Gou also gave a death order, if the Jin soldiers entered the station and stood on the land of the sixteen states of Yanyun for half a minute, they would come to see him. In this battle, all the generals who fought signed the life and death certificates, and if they didn't succeed, they became benevolent, and even Zhao Gou himself was not spared.

The Jin soldiers were menacing, and Jin Taizong's southern invasion of the Great Song Dynasty had been planned for many years, and this time he sent generals to attack the Great Song Dynasty with the determination to win with one blow. Even if Zhao Gou led the army to resist, this was only temporary.

Because Wan Yansheng wanted to destroy the Great Song Dynasty and become the emperor of the Jin Dynasty without one in ten thousand, so that Dajin would become famous all over the world and become the real overlord. Because the Song Dynasty occupies abundant resources, this is something that Wan Yan Sheng does not want to see, he wants to invade the Great Song Dynasty, but also to complete his hegemony of dominating the world, but also to improve the living difficulties of the people.

As long as the Song Dynasty is completely destroyed, then everything that the Song Dynasty has will be the Dajin Dynasty. This time, Wan Yan Sheng poured the strength of the whole country, that is, sent 300,000 troops, and must take the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop and approach Bianjing City. If the sixteen states of Yanyun are captured, it will also be the best result.

As long as the sixteen states of Yanyun were in the hands of the Great Jin Dynasty, they could be ready to attack the Great Song Dynasty with troops at any time. At that time, the Song Dynasty was like meat on a nail, at his mercy. However, Zhao Gou had already prepared, so that the army of Jin soldiers was blocked in the land outside the sixteen states of Yanyun, and he could not enter for half a cent.

"What? The army was resisted by the Song army? Wan Yan Sheng roared angrily, "I sent an army of 300,000, but I was actually resisted by the Song army of less than 100,000? Spread my will, no matter what method is used, it is necessary to defeat the Song army, even if it is a one-on-one death, it is necessary to use the tactics of crowds to completely destroy the Song army and approach Bianjing. If there is no achievement, and the success is down, then let the Chen Ban Bo Ji Gao raise his head to see it! ”

Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng heard that his 300,000 army was actually blocked by 100,000 Song troops outside the land of Yanyun, how could he accept this. Therefore, he issued a holy decree and ordered the generals in front of him, no matter what the price, to attack the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty.

Due to the holy decree issued by Jin Taizong, the commander of Jin Bing also gave the order to attack under great pressure.

When the horn of war sounded, the Jin soldiers went forward to attack Dushi and Gubei one after another, using this as a breakthrough to approach the territory of the Song Dynasty. Seeing this, Zhao Gou could only avoid its edge, and did not allow the Song army to fight with them, and hung up the card of high exemption.

However, the generals of the golden soldiers did not play their cards according to common sense at all, directly ignored the role of the war-free card, and resolutely launched an attack. Because the main army of the Song army was divided into two parts, which resisted the Jin soldiers respectively, Zhao Gou could not take the initiative to attack, and could only defend passively.

If it weren't for the fact that when Zhao Gou was in the land of Yanyun, he had already prepared to increase the height and width of the city wall, I am afraid that it would be difficult to resist the surging attack of the Jin soldiers. Zhao Gou looked at the dense golden soldiers under the city, and all the baggage, cloud ladders and other things were also used.

Wanyan Zonghan ordered the siege of the city, and countless golden soldiers came one after another, holding spears, shields, long knives and other weapons, and put the cloud ladder directly on the city wall, constantly climbing up. Even if the Song army smashed stones and bricks from above, they were still not afraid and still attacked one after another.

In addition, the catapult that the golden soldiers took took put the big stone on it and threw it directly, aiming directly at the city wall. If it weren't for the thickening of the walls, they would have been broken by huge stones. However, the power of the huge stone when it fell was not something that ordinary people could resist, and countless Song soldiers died on the catapult.

Zhao Gou looked at the Jin soldiers who went forward and followed him expressionlessly, and he could only continue to give orders to hold the city. At this time, the battle situation was very dangerous, and Zhao Gou had already sent several notes in a row requesting reinforcements and supplies, all of which were lost in the sea.

Nowadays, the sixteen states of Yanyun are like a lonely boat on the sea, which may be overturned by the big waves at any time.

"Lord Wang, if we continue to attack like this, I'm afraid our army won't be able to hold on!" Wu Yong, the military advisor, was also transferred to the front line by Zhao Gou, and Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others also gathered on the city wall.

The Jin soldiers' siege of the city was completely like filling it with human lives, ignoring the natural dangers of Gubeikou, ignoring the solidity of Gubei City, and ignoring the stubborn resistance of the Song army. Since the beginning of the Song-Jin War, Zhao Gou has been prepared.

originally thought that the Jin soldiers would retreat in the face of difficulties, but they didn't want them to care about the life and death of the soldiers at all, and they were completely desperate to attack the city. At this time, more than ten days have passed since the Jin soldiers attacked the city, and if they continue to attack like this, not only will they not be able to hold on, but the city will be ruined and people will die, and even the soldiers of the Song army will not be able to bear it.

"Is there still no news from the capital?" Zhao Gou couldn't hide the anger in his heart, he was fighting on the front line, not only did he not help from the rear, but he also had no news, which made him very angry, if he hadn't been able to pull away, he was afraid that he would have already returned to the capital, and Xingshi would ask for guilt.

"Nope!" Song Jiang said worriedly, "According to the information obtained by Brother Yan Qing, it is said that the emperor is indulging in wine all day long and ignoring the government. Now the Great Song Dynasty is in the hands of the old Taoist Cizhao, who controls the government with one hand, and the music we sent should not have reached the emperor's hands! ”

Zhao Gou sneered: "It's not that it didn't reach his hands, but I'm afraid he won't see it if it does." ”

"So how do we do that?" Lu Junyi asked expressionlessly.

"What is the reaction of the King of Chu?" Zhao Gou asked about Zhao Yougong's situation again, and this matter should not be ignored according to his temperament. If the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are lost, then the entire Great Song Dynasty will be in danger, and then the Jin soldiers will be able to cross the Yellow River and approach Bianjing.

"The king of Chu is powerless!" Wu was anxious, and sighed again: "Brother Yanqing wrote that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has been turned away from entering the palace many times, and he can't even see the emperor's face, so how can he lead the army to the rescue." ”

The seed master couldn't bear the displeasure in his heart, and scolded: "I really don't know what the Emperor thinks, no matter if you don't care about it, so the Great Song Jiangshan is really dangerous." Is the Emperor Taishang going to cut off the Great Song Dynasty and give it to the Jin people? ”

"Now on the side of the court, we can't count on it, everything can only depend on ourselves. Even if the troops were sent to rescue at this time, they were afraid that the far water would not be able to save the near fire. Zhao Gou said in a fierce voice, "How much food do we have left now?" How many troops do we still have? ”

"The food can only last another month at most, and as for the strength of our army, there are only 40,000 people who still have combat effectiveness, 5,000 people killed in battle, 3,000 seriously wounded, and 2,400 lightly wounded."

"One month is the first month!" Zhao Gou muttered to himself and said categorically: "A month later, our army and Jin Bing will have a final decisive battle. As for the outcome, everything is left to fate. Since the imperial court does not send reinforcements, then we can only rely on ourselves. ”

"But how can we compete with more than twice the number of gold soldiers in our army?" Wu Yong said with trepidation.

"If you can't fight, you have to fight, even if you die on the battlefield, you will die well!" Zhao Gou said loudly, "If we don't do anything and can only be beaten passively, how long can we last?" I'm afraid that before the Jin soldiers attack, we will be hungry and cold, and we have already starved to death and froze to death. ”

Everyone nodded helplessly, they were unwilling. If it is true that he can't defeat Jin Bing, even if he dies, it is reasonable. However, they fought to the death with the enemy on the front line, and the imperial court actually watched them die in battle, which was inaction, which made everyone hate the imperial court and Song Qinzong Zhao Huan to the core, if they survived this danger, I am afraid it would cause a strong backlash.
