Regardless of whether this "goodwill picture" is false or true, or whether Zhao Ji's father and son's reluctance to return to the country is true, anyway, since the price offered by the two sides cannot be negotiated, there is only a fight!

To be honest, the Jin State side does not have any sincerity, and it only wants to exchange the lives of the two princes for Huang Jie's withdrawal, which is too contemptuous. Of course, don't brag about it, even if Jin Guo kills the four princes in front of Liaoyang City now, Huang Jie may not agree to withdraw his troops, not to mention that Zhao Ji's sons are indeed too many is one aspect, he really wants to do something to "welcome back the second emperor" in this Northern Expedition, it would be too naïve.

Immediately, since it was impossible to talk, there was no value in continuing to be polite, Huang Jie also got up and said: "Since it is difficult for Song Jin to make peace, he can only speak with a sword." Hanlu supplement, I don't know how you want to fight this battle? Do you attack me, or do I attack you? Your Jin army is strong in the field, and our Song army is weak in the field, so our army will never fight you in the field. ”

Zong Wang was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Huang Jie to be so shrewd, as soon as he came up, he blocked the path and made the avenue clear to the sky, and he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

Huang Jie is right, after all, the Jin army has sharp cavalry and is strong in the field, while the Song army is indeed weak in the field, but the combat effectiveness of defending the city is so strong that it is borderless.

Similarly, the Song army's ability to defend the city is so strong, and the siege ability will naturally not be weak. Then, if you really want to choose one of Huang Jie's "you attack and I defend, I attack and you defend", it seems that Jin Jun will suffer no matter how he chooses!

Although there has been no large-scale battle between the Jin and Song armies so far, with the experience of breaking into the Song realm twice, it can also be analyzed that the Song army is a disabled person with a strong body, heavy fists but inconvenient legs and feet.

If the two armies are in a position with the Song army, and the foot soldiers are hard against the foot soldiers, then the combat effectiveness of the Jin army may not be much higher than that of the Song people, but as long as the Jin army maintains a high-speed maneuver and attacks in circles with the advantage of cavalry's action power, the Song army will be in a tragic situation where it cannot catch up, escape, or run.

It is also a loss this time, Huang Jie first took advantage of the road advantage, with the semi-cavalry and semi-mobile advantage of the imperial car army, and took advantage of the defenselessness of the Jin State to break into Liaoyang at once, and then gave full play to the advantages of the Song people's civil engineering operations, and built a series of Lingbao along the road to guard the grain road, so that the Jin army had no choice.

The most infuriating thing is the Lingbao system, the distance between the two is not fifty miles, not thirty miles, but a short twenty miles. What is this concept? That is to say, there is only a maximum of ten miles of unprotected zone between the two Lingbao, and the team carrying the heavy grain can be protected by the Lingbao whether it is out of the fort or into the fort, and the escort accompanying the baggage transport team itself does not go far every time it marches, and there are many scouts outside, and the result is that since the beginning of the year, although there are many teams sent by the Jin army to intercept grain, they have fought hundreds of times with the cavalry of the Song army guarding the grain road, but none of them have succeeded.

But he also said that after all, Zong Wang is also the most powerful commander in the Jin Kingdom, of course he can't be bluffed by Huang Jie, and after a little planning, he also stretched out a row of tables in front of him and got up and said: "The Song people came from afar, invaded our land, and occupied my big golden city, so naturally I attacked you and defended it!" ”

Huang Jie also got up and said, "That is the case, tomorrow you will come to attack the city!" ”

Hearing Huang Jie's words calling for himself to attack the city, Zong Wang felt very speechless, so he had to get up and say goodbye, Huang Jie naturally wouldn't keep him. However, when sending everyone out, Huang Jie took Zong Bi and walked slowly, and said something to him, Zong Wang walked in front and faintly looked back and saw Zong Bi's face full of astonishment, so he also had a question in his heart.

After returning to the main formation, Zong Wang summoned Zong Bi to come closer, and asked in a low voice, "Wuzhu, what did Huang Jie tell you?" ”

Zong Bi heard this question, but he stared at Zong Wang carefully for a while, and then suddenly shook his head and said, "So-and-so...... Can't talk to you! ”

"How?" Zong Wang felt strange when he heard it, and he thought that Huang Jie must have conspired with Zong Bi about something, but now that he heard Zong Bi say this, the doubts in his heart became a little heavier.

That night, Zong Wang raised the big tent of the Chinese army, killed a horse and a cow to sacrifice the battle flag, and settled the order of tomorrow's battle with the various armies, and went to bed early. It's just that when it was about the third watch, I saw Zong Bi leading a Song person who had changed his outfit into Zong Wang's tent, but he didn't say anything for the time being.

The next day, on the first day of the fifth month of the third year of the Great Song Dynasty, the weather was sunny and refreshing, the two large camps in the west and north of the Jin army were all very fire-making and cooking at the fifth watch, and after eating at two o'clock in the morning, they each counted out a number of soldiers and horses, and then came to the north of Liaoyang to assemble in formation.

Because Liaoyang itself is a lonely city, and after several months of transformation by Huang Jie, it has long been transformed into a military city, and Huang Jie himself is here to fight with the Jin Kingdom this time, so it is worthless to encircle three digs or encircle on all sides, so Zong Wang simply lined up all the troops in the north of the city, ready to break through the front like Mount Tai.

At about the same time, at least 50,000 heavy cavalry of the Jin Army arrived at the battlefield first, and quickly enclosed the ground with a banner 3,000 steps away from the city wall, marking the array line for the rear team.

Around noon, I saw that there were almost 100,000 Jin army foot soldiers, carrying a large number of siege equipment along the main road slowly to the city wall, and there were at least 1,000 of all kinds of arrow blocking vehicles, siege vehicles, rushing vehicles, and building vehicles.

It wasn't until the end of noon that I saw about 50,000 or 60,000 light cavalry of the Jin army approaching the east and west sides of Liaoyang City from both wings, and I could be regarded as watching the flanks of the Jin army.

When the array was initially stopped, I also saw that the battle flag of the Chinese army was slowly coming out, and about 100 generals of the Jin army led by Zongwang also came to the front of the formation that was more than 1,500 steps away from the city, and they all came to watch the city.

"Fighter?" Zong Wang was also confused when he heard that Guo Yaoshi translated these two words, wasn't this Huang Jie asking him to attack the city today? This has pushed all the siege equipment here, and you actually did this for us?

When he was stunned, he heard three horns suddenly sounding in the city, and then the north gate of Liaoyang was opened, and a team of about dozens of people, all wearing red cloaks, and the people and horses wearing various high-level standard armor of the Song army also rushed out of the city.

"Phew! Where is Pu Jianu? Come here and die! Huang Jie, who was dressed in a red Song army handsome armor, wearing a purple and gold crown with a double pheasant tail, and holding a full-moon version of Fang Tian's halberd, came to the front of the two armies alone with a halberd in one hand, and then followed Zong Wang with a halberd finger, and Pu Jianu, who was full of astonishment, shouted: "I said yesterday that I must wish for each other, and I don't come to die soon!" ”
