Outside the Daimyo Castle is the endless camp of the Golden Soldiers, which is the barracks of the 150,000 army, the momentum is huge, extremely magnificent, the camp is surrounded by trenches, covered with antlers, and the thick camp fence surrounds the camp.

This is the main force of the East Route Army of the Jin Kingdom, although the main force of the East Route Army will be Wanyan Zongwang, but the marshal Wan Yan Xian is also in the camp, and the offensive rhythm of the East Route Army is completely dominated by Wan Yan Xian.

Wanyan Xian is also the younger brother of Wanyan Aguta, and also the uncle of Wanyan Zongwang, about forty-seven or eighteen years old, with a thin face and gloomy eyes, although he is not good at martial arts, he is a very far-sighted and ruthless person.

Wan Yan Xianye's marshal tent covers an area of two acres, and there is indeed a set of tents inside, the middle is a military affairs tent, and both sides are book tents and sleeping tents, at this time in Wan Yan Xianye's book tent, Wan Yan Du, who had just returned, lowered his head and listened to Wan Yan Xianye's reprimand with a face full of shame.

"Do you know why I asked you to only raid the Daimyo Mansion instead of letting you raid the Kaifeng Mansion?"

Wan Yan Xian also spoke softly, but his strength did not lie in the severity of his tone and tone, but in his conclusions, one of his conclusions was enough to make a general sit on the cold bench for a lifetime, so no one in Jin Guo from top to bottom was not afraid of him.

"Humble duty.... If you violate the military order, please punish the marshal. ”

"I'll talk about the punishment later, but I'm going to make you understand what you're doing wrong?"

"Yes!"

Wan Yan confessed his mistake on his lips, but he was not convinced in his heart, his five thousand cavalry were all Jurchen iron cavalry, belonging to the elite of the elite, he killed all the way, he really didn't believe that there would be a Song army that could block him, even if he couldn't capture Bianjing, there was no problem to show off his might, why did Marshal Du not allow himself to go south?

Wan Yan Du thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, but Wan Yan Xian, who had a vicious eye, still saw that he was not convinced, so he said coldly: "Then you tell me, what can you do with your five thousand cavalry going south?" ”

"My 5,000 cavalry can defeat 50,000 Song troops!"

"Humph!" Wan Yan Xian also sneered, "What if the Song army doesn't fight?" Can you capture Bianjing? ”

"I can't attack Bianjing, but I can kill all the Song people around Bianjing, pile up the heads into Jingguan, and scare the courage of the Song Dynasty Dog Emperor!"

"I'm afraid that if you do this, the Song army will not only not be frightened, but will share the same hatred for the enemy, stimulate their morale, and cause us more casualties!"

Wan Yan Zongwang, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help frowning, he felt that Wan Yan Xian also had little basis for what he said, if the Song army could stimulate morale because of this, he would not have been defeated so badly, in fact, he felt that Wan Yan Du's approach was a bit reasonable, and building a Beijing Temple with a human head might really scare the courage of the Great Song Dynasty monarchs.

Of course, Wanyan Zongwang couldn't help Wanyan Du speak, he said on the side: "Old Seven, if you're wrong, you're wrong, Marshal Du ordered you to hit the Daimyo's Mansion, but you went to open the Fengfu without authorization, this is a violation of the military order, you still admit punishment!" ”

Wan Yan Du sighed in his heart, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said, "Guilty of despicable duty!" ”

"Since you are convicted, then I will demote you to a centurion!"

Wan Yan Xianye's voice was very soft, but he was shocked that Wan Yan Du trembled, and actually demoted himself from a centurion to a centurion, he suddenly understood why everyone was afraid of Wan Yan Xianye, it was just too ruthless, he was a centurion at the age of twelve, and he had been mixed for twenty years, and how much credit he made in the southern and northern wars to survive to the position of ten thousand commanders, just because he sent troops without authorization, he wiped out his twenty years of achievements to the end.

Wan Yandu suddenly became a little sad and angry, he stood up and said, "I don't want this centurion anymore, I will hunt in the tribe now!" ”

He took off his hat, threw it on the ground, turned and strode away.

Wan Yan Xian also coldly watched him go away, and ordered: "Drive him out of the barracks, and he will not be hired for life!" ”

Wan Yan Zongwang next to him was shocked, did Wan Yan Du's future completely disappear like this? He opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

"You want to intercede for him?" Wan Yan also raised his eyelids, and stared sharply at Wan Yan Zongwang's face.

Wanyan Zongwang hurriedly shook his head, "The military order is like a mountain, that's to blame!" ”

Wan Yan also stood up and walked a few steps with his hands in his hands, and finally he stopped and sighed: "If it weren't for Li Yanqing sitting in the capital, Wan Yan would have gone alone." ”

Wanyan Zongwang was taken aback, it turned out that his uncle was worried about Li Yanqing, he hesitated, but he couldn't help but say: "Although Li Yanqing is good at defending the city, if he attacks head-on, he may not be the opponent of the Jin Guo Iron Cavalry!" ”

"The Han people also said that only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one not be defeated in a hundred battles, Li Yanqing served as the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, I knew that this time to the south, our opponent must be him, I have not been idle in the past few months, I have collected a lot of information about him, and even inquired about his news from Western Xia, and the result was beyond my expectations!"

"What does the marshal mean is that he is not only good at defending the city, but also good at field battles?"

"At least he hasn't been defeated, although our Jurchen warriors are more than what Khitan and party items are, but it's always not wrong to be cautious, this time I made a military order in the wolf lord, and I must attack the Song Dynasty according to my deployment, and I have no choice but to be polite to him!"

Wan Yan Xian also reversed his usual soft words, and his tone was as cold as iron, which made Wan Yan Zongwang, who was sitting on the side, shudder.

...........

"Hey! Hey! ”

In the high walls of the capital, thousands of people shouted a rhythmic trumpet, and were using thick logs to tamp the ground, which is also the experience of the Taiyuan defensive war, Taiyuan is to tamp the ground and release water for the pool, but the capital can not be copied, mainly now in the cold winter, the water will condense into ice, or there is no meaning to slow down the elasticity of the fireball.

However, although he could not release the water, Li Yanqing still had a way, he ordered to insert wooden stakes with sharp ends one by one into the soil, forming a dense array of wooden stakes, and the enemy fireballs shot in, and nine times out of ten they were inserted into the wooden stakes, and they could no longer bounce off.

And there is another layer of effect on the ground, that is, to prevent the enemy from digging tunnels, playing tunnels is one of the important means of siege, although the Jin people may not be able to think of it, the Liao State is very proficient, Li Yanqing and the Jin people have fought in Taiyuan, he feels that the Jin people's siege methods are no less than the Liao State, and the siege morale and combat effectiveness are far more than the Liao army, not to mention the Song army.

They will definitely lose this defensive battle by relying on the combat effectiveness of the soldiers alone, they must rely on powerful defensive weapons, of course, they must also have the help of the right time and place, there are advantages and disadvantages to defending the city in winter, the disadvantage is that the moat is frozen, losing its defensive effect, and the favorable side is also frozen, the soldiers splash a large amount of water on the city wall, and after condensing into ice, it forms a thick ice wall, even if the enemy army uses earth-shaking thunder, it is difficult to blow up the ice wall.

In the city, Li Yanqing was riding a horse to inspect the demolition of the houses in the city, and Taiyuan City, close to the city wall 100 steps away from all the houses to be demolished, which involved the vital interests of tens of thousands of households, for this matter, Li Gang did a lobbyist for three days, and finally used the expensive compensation price to persuade the people to demolish the houses, even so, when the soldiers demolished the houses, they were still surrounded by countless people and scolded.

There was an accident here in Beicheng, dozens of old people were lying in their houses to prevent the demolition, no matter how much persuasion was useless, they were faintly heard crying and screaming to die with their ancestral houses.

"Qi Yu Dutong, this group of old people has been annoyed for a few days, the money has already been taken, but they just refuse to leave, if they forcibly arrest people, they will hit the wall, several people hit their heads and bleed, there is nothing they can do!"

Li Yanqing said coldly: "Forcibly carry them out, throw them in an empty room and lock them up, they want to hit the wall to die, just let them be!" ”

"Obey!"

The commander rushed over and began to command the soldiers to forcibly carry the old man out of the house and send him to an empty house a hundred paces away to be locked up.

For a while, the cry rang out, "Don't demolish my ancestral house, I will die in the ancestral house!" ”

"Let me go and let me die!"

The soldiers raised their legs and arms, carried dozens of old people away, and the commander shouted, "Demolish!" ”

One by one, the logs slammed into the wall, and the walls fell down in response, and suddenly the dust flew up.

At this time, a cavalryman rushed to Li Yanqing, clasped his fists and saluted, and handed a note to Li Yanqing, "Qiyu Dutong, there is a letter for you." ”

Li Yanqing opened the letter and looked at it, then turned around and urged the horse to run in the direction of Yujie, "Let's go to Alum Tower!" ”
