'Woo-woo-'

As soon as the day dawned, the horn of the Jin Bing camp in the distance sounded one after another, and the alarm bell also sounded on the head of the city, and a group of soldiers with neat appearance quickly rushed to the head of the city, densely standing all over the city, behind them was a huge and majestic trebuchet and cannon, the defense of the north city and the west city was the Jingzhao army, the defense of the south city and the east city was the New Northern Army, Li Yanqing was the commander of the capital, the defense envoy of Tokyo, responsible for the defense of the whole city.

At this time, Li Yanqing was standing at the head of the north city, looking intently at the Jin Bing camp in the distance, the Jin soldiers only arrived yesterday, of course it was impossible to start attacking the city today, but the sound of the golden camp's horn was the meaning of assembly, Li Yanqing was a little curious, the Jin soldiers had just been killed, what did they want to do?

"Dutong, I guess I want to demonstrate first!" Liu Jian whispered on the side.

Li Yanqing nodded, it should be like this, this is the tradition of the Liao State, and it was later transmitted to the Western Xia, but I didn't expect the Jin State to also learn it, but he also admitted that this is indeed a powerful method, and it has a good effect on suppressing the morale of the enemy army.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! The dull cowhide drum sounded, and the earth-shattering drum could be heard dozens of miles away, slow and rhythmic, as if beating people's hearts, and the hearts of many soldiers were pounding with it.

"It's coming!"

The sentinel pointed into the distance, and saw a black line several miles long appear ten miles away, when the earth began to tremble, and the sound of the drums was muffled by a muffled thunder from the sky.

"It's cavalry!" There were soldiers shouting.

Everyone's face became grim, forming such a momentum, running wildly on the grassland may be able to do it by 10,000 cavalry, but it is impossible for the golden soldiers to run wildly at a distance of ten miles, and if you want to make the earth tremble, it will take at least 100,000 iron cavalry to do it.

After a while, the main army of the Jin soldiers appeared, they were like a black cloud sticking to the ground and gradually spreading, the flags were overwhelming, the drums were rumbling, and there were constantly low horn sounds, and the cavalry armor was bright, and the spears were like forests, and these foreign soldiers looked hideous and murderous, and from time to time let out bursts of roars like beasts, which made people shudder.

The 150,000 army is overwhelming, forming fifteen large phalanxes, showing off their might outside the northern city, at this time, the golden soldiers split like waves, a cavalry team of five hundred people galloped forward, the head of the standard-bearer was unusually majestic, riding on a strong war horse, he held a two-zhang long golden wolf head flag, and the back five hundred people each held a big flag, hunting and flying under the blowing of the cold wind.

The soldiers in the city were silent, and the strong strength displayed by the golden soldiers brought great pressure and shock to the hearts of all the soldiers.

Li Yanqing suddenly remembered the rules of the Western Xia army, and walked around the city with the king's flag in his hand to show his deterrence, and he immediately turned around and ordered: "Take my bronze bow!" ”

Soon a personal soldier came to present the bronze bow, Li Yanqing drew an iron arrow, patiently waiting for the enemy flag bearer to step forward, generally speaking, the flag bearer around the city flag demonstration can not be too far, too far has no effect, but not too close, generally about two hundred and fifty steps, outside the killing distance of the enemy's crossbow, only a moment, the flag bearer gradually approached the city wall.

Just when the standard-bearer was about two hundred and fifty steps away from the city, Li Yanqing suddenly opened his bow and set up an arrow, pulling the bow like a full moon, the bowstring was loosened, and the iron arrow was like a black lightning bolt, shooting towards the golden wolf's head banner, only to hear 'click!' With a sound, the banner of the golden wolf's head was broken in the wind, causing an exclamation in the city and the city, and the city head suddenly roared like thunder, this arrow wiped out the limelight of the golden soldiers, and the powerful killing machine that had just been displayed was also diluted a lot.

But before a group of standard-bearers turned around and fled, Li Yanqing's second arrow hit again, and an arrow pierced the burly standard-bearer's vest, the standard-bearer screamed, turned over and fell off his horse, and the rest of the hundreds of cavalry fled in fright, the soldiers on the head of the city were jubilant again, and Wan Yan Xian in the distance could also see clearly, he was actually shot by the Song army to break the golden wolf's head banner, his face was pale, he originally wanted to demonstrate to the Song army, but was slapped in the face by the Song army, Wan Yan Xian was also helpless, so he had to shout the order: "Withdraw the army and return to the camp!" ”

In the sound of retreating gongs and drums, the 150,000 army began to retreat slowly, although the 150,000 Jin soldiers showed strong combat power, but Li Yanqing's arrow broke the royal flag of the Jin State, completely offset the pressure brought by the Jin soldiers to the Song army, and soon, Li Yanqing's arrow spread throughout the capital, bringing hope to the 700,000 people in the capital.

When the Jin soldiers were withdrawn, the Song army also began to return to the barracks one after another, and at this time, a team of guards rushed over and said to Li Yanqing: "The official family invites Li Dutong to go to the Zhizheng Hall, and there is something important to discuss!" ”

"I see, it's over!"

Li Yanqing instructed Liu Jian a few words, then walked down the city quickly, turned on his horse and ran towards the palace.

At present, among the six phases of the Zhizheng Hall, Wang Hao has been dismissed from his post and dismissed as prime minister, Gao Yu and Cai Yu have also been removed from the post of prime minister after leaving Beijing, Cai Xiang resigned from the position of prime minister a few days ago due to his advanced age, and only Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan were left in the former prime minister.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, after Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he quickly appointed Wu Min, Sun Fu, Zhang Bangchang, and Li Gang as prime ministers, forming a new Zhizheng Hall.

Because the three backbones of the military hall, Li Gang, Wu Min and Sun Fu, all served as Xiangguo, when Zhao Huan was the crown prince's supervisor, he considered how to compete with the Zhizheng Hall, and then formed the military hall, and now he was promoted to the emperor, naturally he didn't want to have a military hall to compete with the Zhizheng Hall, so Zhao Huan gradually replaced the military hall in the era of the prince's eunuch with the Zhizheng Hall.

Li Yanqing hurried to the Zhizheng Hall, and an official reported for him, "Li Dutong has arrived!" ”

Li Gang hurriedly greeted him, saluted and said with a smile: "Everyone is waiting for Li Dutong, and the official family has been waiting for a long time, please come in!" ”

Li Yanqing was stunned, "The official family is also here?" ”

"Today's deliberations in the prefect's hall are more important, and the officials also come to observe, we are all talking on paper, and you have to talk about the actual situation."

"Today is talking about the military?"

"It's not exactly military, you'll know when you come in."

The two walked into the conference hall, which was like a small hall, and in the middle of it was the seat of Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, which had been empty for decades, after Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he would basically come to audit, and today was no exception, Zhao Huan sat high on the dragon chair and nodded slightly to Li Yanqing who walked into the hall.

There are eight sets of tables and chairs on both sides of the lobby, and two rows of chairs at the back, mainly for important officials to sit on when they observe the proceedings.

Li Yanqing is not a member of the Zhizheng Hall, and he is not qualified to sit on an equal footing with the Xiangguo in peacetime, but now it is a time of war, and his status as the defense envoy of the capital is particularly prominent, and no one dares to underestimate him.

Li Yanqing walked into the council hall and bowed to Zhao Huan, the Son of Heaven, "Weichen see Your Majesty!" ”

"Li Dutong, please sit down!"

Li Yanqing walked to his seat and sat down, and at this time, the right minister Guo Bai Shizhong asked: "May I ask Li Dutong, when will the Jin people attack the city?" ”

Of course, the emergency meeting held in the Zhizheng Hall was held after the retreat of the Jin soldiers, but everyone still had palpitations, and everyone was heavy in their hearts when they saw that a big war was about to break out.

Li Yanqing saw that everyone was looking at him, and it was estimated that everyone was worried about this matter, so he raised his eyes and looked up, and Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, also looked at him intently, it seems that this is the highlight of today's proceedings.

Li Yanqing bowed slightly, and said to everyone: "According to my experience, the Jin soldiers still have a ritual to worship the gods before the official siege of the city, and they should not attack tomorrow, it should be the first attack the day after tomorrow, but the first attack should be a tentative attack, the scale will not be very large, the war is fearless, what I am worried about is the chaos in the city." ”

Li Yanqing is telling the truth, they have been preparing for nearly half a year, coupled with the good defense foundation of the capital, it is really not easy for the Jin soldiers to break through the city, the key is that there can be no civil strife in the city, an important reason why Taiyuan City can be defended is that everyone is united, he Li Yanqing is full of words, no one dares to disobey.

But this is not the case in the capital, there are more powerful and high-ranking officials than him, if the people are not aligned, the evil consequences are likely to appear in the army, and there will be a gap in the defense of a certain section of the city wall.

Of course, Li Yanqing did not say it explicitly, he was worried that it was not ordinary people, but high-ranking officials in the city, if someone was bought by Jin Guozhong, it would be really unaligned.

"I don't know what Li Dutong means by the rebellion in the city?" Wu Min asked.

Li Yanqing said slowly: "I'm worried that there are spies of the Jin Kingdom hidden in the city!" ”
