Lin'an Mansion, Hangzhou City, this city, not long ago experienced a war, the former prosperity has not been completely restored, the Song Dynasty's son of heaven Zhao Huan has come here.

Historically, the Great Song Dynasty moved south, bringing countless Kaifeng people to settle in Lin'an Mansion, and the Lin'an Mansion at that time was full of Kaifeng accents. It also made the population of this place grow countless in an instant.

At this time, Zhao Huan arrived here with two henchmen and hundreds of knights. Entering the government, it was relying on this government that the formation of the Southern Court of the Great Song Dynasty began.

Jiangnan and Zhejiang, ox carts and carriages to Lin'an Mansion are endless. Gyeonggi Bianliang has been broken by anti-thieves, and the anti-thief Zheng Zhi is even holding the Emperor Taishang and the entire court hostage to command the world.

Most of the carriages that came from the state capitals in the south were people from some big families, and many of them had their own families serving as officials in various places, and even at this time they were officials in the city of Tokyo. Among them are also some officials who have retired and returned home.

The family and country are declining, the society is swaying, and the anti-thief Zheng Zhi is a perverse person, Zhao Huan in Lin'an Mansion is obviously the umbrella of these families.

Of course, there are many people who come to see Zhao Huan this time, and they also want to find an official and a half-position in this new court.

If you want to be an official and a half-job, it is not without a price, that is, the support of various forces, there is money to contribute, there is a strong contribution, and someone contributes to others.

In this way, each takes what he needs, and it is also the best cooperation.

The wealth of the two Zhejiang provinces in the south of the Yangtze River is the first in the world. These big families are even more powerful in the local area. In less than a month or two, this court will have the appearance of a court.

Lin'an Mansion is busy, busy every day, and it is in full swing everywhere.

The older generation used all resources to help the court rebuild, and the younger generation was even more indignant, talking and shouting.

It is easy to do things with money and food, Liu Yanqing is also busy recruiting troops and buying horses, and the salary offered is not even lower than the salary of Zheng Zhi's corporal soldiers. Fang La's rebellion left many sequelae, which ruined many families, and there were many more men who had nothing, and many people who came to serve as soldiers were even one of the "millions of thieves" back then. But he didn't bother with it anymore.

Many families even temporarily arranged their nursing homes to serve in the army, and everyone had the responsibility to protect the family and defend the country.

This Da Song is not really useless. Even the Southern Song Dynasty was not really cowardly and incompetent, the Southern Song Dynasty fought with the Jurchens and the Mongols. In the face of such an enemy, the Southern Song Dynasty still lasted for 152 years. But I don't know how many years the Great Song Dynasty can last under Zheng Zhi at this time.

If there were no such formidable foreign enemies, perhaps future generations would think of the Great Song Dynasty, and they would have a good impression, and most of them would be peerless and prosperous. Even Zheng Zhi is a little timid about this world, that is, Zheng Zhi doesn't want to beat this prosperous world to pieces. Zheng Zhi wants this world to maintain this prosperity even if the dynasty changes.

At the Gubei Pass, a sacrificial ceremony to commemorate the greatest leader of the Jurchens for thousands of years was interrupted by the continuous sound of artillery.

Beat the drum without anger, gathered more than 10,000 iron armor, and countless long ladders. These Jurchen men, who mostly fought on horseback, dismounted and lined up, but they were not in a neat battle formation.

Even so, Shi Jin, who was standing at the head of the city, did not dare to underestimate this army that was not even lined up in an untidy infantry battle formation.

Maybe Shi Jin didn't expect to start the war by himself again, so he heard Shi Jin keep shouting: "Tear down everything that can be demolished in the urn city, and quickly dismantle it." ”

The soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city, and the hammer and pickaxe began to knock on the battlements of the urn city behind the pass, and countless bricks and stones flew down to the city. Many of the soldiers wore iron armor and carried all these heavy objects to the city, regardless of the stones that were still falling from their heads.

The war did not just start today, and the more than 20,000 Koreans had already exhausted the fortifications in the pass, and even the feathers and arrows were stretched.

If you stay for two more days, you can go farther away at your leisure and then go to collect stones and cut down trees. When Yanjing's feather arrows are supplied, there is no need to demolish the urn city.

This battle was beyond everyone's expectations, even the Jurchens.

Within the pass, there is also a horn company battalion, 10,000 Cangzhou iron armor, and 10,000 party members, each busy with their own errands.

Not long after, the Jurchens began to charge, and without kissing into battle, they galloped forward with these horseback warriors on their legs.

This pass is not built majestically and tallly, but looks dilapidated. A hundred or two years ago, this pass was only an important route for the exchange of goods and personnel. It has never been run as a strategic rush. Because this was once the hinterland of Da Liao, no one would have thought that one day the hinterland of Da Liao would be attacked by foreign enemies.

The courage of the Jurchens is obviously not comparable to those Goryeo slaves. The long ladder was erected to the top of the city wall, and immediately countless men climbed up, which increased the weight of the long ladder countless times, so heavy that it was difficult for five or six men on the head of the city to push the long ladder.

The Jurchen rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun, but the arrows on the city were scattered. The death of those Koreans also showed its significance. If he did not order the siege of the city at this time, he was not all carried away by anger.

I don't want to give it a try, and under the good opportunity of those Song people's feather arrows, try to see if I can break this pass. If the Gubei Pass can be broken, the battle situation will immediately be very favorable. The Jurchen cavalry can go straight down to Yanyun, at this time Yanyun is empty, even Hebei is empty, the Dajin Jurchen will be like a bamboo, and under the fast horse, it is not impossible to break all of Zheng Zhi's lair in one fell swoop.

Shi Jin held a spear in his hand, and he also stood on top of the city himself, constantly stabbing those Jurchens who wanted to climb up to the city with a freshly polished spear.

A few arrows were fired from the bed crossbow, but there were no more arrows. The three-stone hard bow in Yue Fei's hand kept shooting, and every arrow could pierce through the iron armor and kill people. But there were no more feather arrows left in the quiver behind Yue Fei. More soldiers had already put their crossbows aside, picked up their blades and fought hand-to-hand with the swarming Jurchens.

Only the dozen or so artillery pieces continued to howl angrily. The gunners kept shouting, beckoning the soldiers on the left and right to help raise the cannon body, and put the rear of the cannon high, so that the cannon muzzle was facing downward, and shot directly at the Jurchens who were just below the city.

The Cangzhou man in heavy armor and the party man in leather armor have long been mixed together. Feather arrows shoot at iron armor and leather armor, and the power is obviously different.

Countless party men were shot to the ground by the dense rain of arrows, and Mi Zhenwu frowned while fighting, looking left and right, and looked at it with tears in his eyes.

"Mi Zhenwu, come here!" Shi Jin shouted.

Mi Zhenwu was not far from Shi Jin, and when he heard the words, he rushed over, and heard Shi Jin shouting: "You quickly go to the northwest corner of the urn city, there is a warehouse there, and there are 1,600 sets of iron armor in it, and there are only so many." ”

At such a critical juncture, Shi Jin had to do the same, Zheng Zhi has always been wary of these party members, and Shi Jin naturally has to implement Zheng Zhi's approach. But at this time, I can't care so much.

Mi Zhenwu was overjoyed when he heard this, and he turned his head and ran, and said: "Thank you General Shi for your great kindness!" ”

I don't know what Mi Zhenwu thinks about this, do you want to say that Mi Zhenwu hates Zheng Zhi in his heart? Naturally, it is hateful to the bone.

But Mi Zhenwu has always sacrificed his life for the errand that Zheng Zhi explained, and he didn't dare to slack off, let alone have other thoughts.

To say that Mi Zhenwu is loyal, but it is not true. Mi Zhenwu is always thinking about how to strengthen his strength, and he is always trying to strengthen the combat power of the men under his command. Just like before, Mi Zhenwu took the initiative to ask Shi Jin for iron armor, which was obviously this thought. Xing Mi Zhenwu still has a dream in his heart that cannot be humane, and this dream is nothing more than wanting to regain the former glory of the party.

Mi Zhenwu's personal feelings for Zheng Zhi must also be extremely complicated, both hating and admiring. I wish Zheng Zhi would die immediately, but I also obeyed Zheng Zhi's orders.

People are always so contradictory and entangled. There's a term called Stockholm syndrome that might explain this strange psychology. Mi Zhenwu subconsciously probably knew a reality that he was unwilling to accept, and this reality was that he knew that he could not escape from Zheng Zhi's palm. This is a strange psychological dependence of the victim on the abuser. Including Mi Zhennian, it is probably also this kind of psychology.

The Jurchens who rushed towards the city had a hatred in their hearts, and their eyes were full of endless anger. Angry, these Song dogs actually did such disrespectful things when they died of Yan Agu. It was before the war that had ignited the anger of all the Jurchens.

Aguta is the soul of the Jurchens, and the soul has suffered unbearable insults, and it is not terrible to die.

This psychology of the Jurchens brought great pressure to the soldiers who defended the city at the head of the city. This kind of pressure is too different from the siege of the Goryeo people in front of the head.

The Cangzhou iron armor on the head of the city, facing this kind of real predecessor and successor for the first time, everyone frowned, and they didn't dare to come out, and the blades in their hands kept slashing outside the battlements.

The entire city was shrouded in a sense of depression.

The drumbeat outside the city became more and more intense, and the Jurchens besieging the city worked even harder, one by one the iron armor fell down from the top of the long ladder, and one by one the Jurchens climbed up quickly.

The entire long ladder was pushed to the ground by the enemy army holding the long pole, and in a moment, the Jurchens who fell into a daze immediately supported the long ladder again, and the long ladder was instantly covered with iron armor climbing upwards.

The huge crashing cart was also pushed outside the city gate, and dozens of Jurchen men kept pushing the huge tree trunk back and forth and hitting the city gate. With each impact, the wooden gate becomes a dent, and sawdust flies sideways, revealing the stone and earth clods behind the gate.

Behind this city gate, a wall of earth and stone has already been erected, blocking this city gate to death.

A Jurchen man climbed under the battlements, looked up to see, there was a Cangzhou iron armor leaning over to stab, and saw this man grasping the long ladder with one hand, and the spear in the other hand lightning out, going up to meet him.

The spear that stabbed condescendingly was knocked to the side, and the Jurchen man's spear was incredibly fast, and it flew upwards in an instant, and stabbed a person who poked out of it in half.

The opportunity was fleeting, and when the Cangzhou military men behind had not filled the gap, the Jurchen men who were still on the long ladder shouted, and the people had already flown up and jumped steadily into the city wall.

After Yan Yan couldn't leave, he was already the first to rush to the city wall of the Gubei Pass!
