Chapter 144 The small county town is impregnable

Jin Jun speaks directly about Tokyo, and the whole country is for it! Shake. Zhao Huan lamented all night in the forbidden, "Qi Ba is helpless again." Although the Jurchen has been allowed to scrape the river as a small boundary, I don't know why Han Li, the second prince of Jin, did not make the envoy in front of the 1st Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and Zheng Wangzhi's chaotic stick was beaten out of the military camp and refused to negotiate peace. After Zheng Wangzhi returned to the court, he said that he had been humiliated in Jinying, but he did not mention the robbery and killing of the Jin envoy Wang Ne by the "strongman". Later, the court asked him why the Jurchens themselves proposed to scrape the river as a boundary, but why did they flatly refuse? Zheng Wangzhi then explained the reason, and said, "If the matter is leaked, the court will send someone to investigate, the current political situation is like this, if you do the town guard general, I am afraid that the soldiers will be cold." ”

It seems that regardless of the Song and Jin sides. Anyone who knows about this knows in their hearts that where the Son of Heaven comes from any strong man must have been done by the general of the front-line guard. To put it bluntly, it's either Yao Pingzhong or Xu Wei. Although Zheng Wangzhi is a peace envoy, he is still sober in this matter. What Tokyo can rely on now. It is Yao and Xu who rose up in the army, and with them, regardless of victory or defeat, the Jurchens still have some scruples. Don't you see? The Jin army has already begun to sweep the outskirts of Tokyo. Speaking of this, it makes people look at flowers in the fog and the moon in the water.

The battle for the outskirts of Tokyo was only half a battle. That was the battle against Qixian a few days ago. But thousands of golden soldiers howled and rushed to the city of Qixian County, and were shot by the defenders with a rain of arrows, and immediately withdrew without looking back. What is going on in this battle, I'm afraid no one except the Jin army can figure it out.

Fifteen miles away from Gexian County, the Jin army camp.

More than 30,000 elite soldiers who were not close to the reunification were all stationed here, and there was no fighting for several days, and the soldiers rested and reorganized in preparation for another battle. In recent days, the Jin army no longer dared to release its rangers to reconnoiter south of Tokyo, for only one reason: "Go more and return less, and always be intercepted and killed by "strongmen." And these "strongmen" seem to be deliberately provoking the Jin army, after killing people. He cut off the heads of men, took the armoured horses, and then carried out into the wilderness. The second prince was furious over this matter and claimed to sweep away Tokyo.

In the large camp, a general was about forty years old, fully clothed, and his body was equipped with Song military equipment. In a hurry, he threw himself into a military camp, and when he arrived at a military tent, he clenched his fists and said:

"The last general, Li Wenxing, begged to see Guo Gong."

The guards went in to report and summon him in a short time. Fang lifted the curtain and saw that Pharmacist Guo's extremely long figure was standing in front of the map. Put your hands behind your back and be thoughtful. Li Wenxing went in, bowed down, and didn't see the other party's reaction, so he stood behind the pharmacist and was silent.

After a long time, Pharmacist Guo turned around, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" ”

"Everything is as Guo Gong said, the defenders of Naqi County are prepared, and the last general will go to attack the city, and he will be shot well!" Li Wenxing sighed.

The abandoning medicine master smiled, returned to the stool and sat down, and ordered Li Wenxing to sit too, and then said, "So I asked you to go and take a false shot and come back to pay the errand." This Song army is different from the past, and actually took the initiative to provoke, insult my envoys, and kill my rangers, the purpose of which is nothing more than to provoke the second prince and lead the Jin army to attack. Because the other party knew that once the second prince ignored the outskirts of Tokyo and led the troops straight to the imperial city, they would have to go out of the city to fight. For now. This strategy worked, and the second prince was furious with thunder, so he ordered you to wait to attack. Since the other party dares to do this, he must be prepared. It's just that our army has just arrived in Tokyo now, and the equipment is not in order, how can we attack? ”

After hearing this, Li Wenxing was deeply impressed, and bowed again: "If it weren't for Guo Gong to save me, there must be a way to go and go back." As Guo Gong said, I have reported to the second prince and asked for building equipment before attacking. ”

Hearing this, Pharmacist Guo nodded, and suddenly smiled again: "I really want to know, who is in charge of the six counties southeast of Tokyo and due south." The Jin army came all the way south, and everywhere was not a drum. He wants to come and pick up the tiger's whiskers. This person tried in vain to delay the time for our army to attack Beijing and wait for strong reinforcements. But the result is already doomed, how can I stop my elite division with just a few counties? ”

Li Wenxing also smiled: "When the end of the general moves, build more trenches and goose carts, and do not move the offensive 1 to break through Qixian first, and then take Xianping." The other counties can be self-defeating. ”

Guo Yaoshi groaned for a while, looked at the map again, and sighed: "Everything is going well, the only inconvenience is that this Tokyo is occupied by the enemy, and until now, we don't know anything about it. "If Han Fang hadn't been detained, I would have known about the defense of Tokyo City a long time ago. It's good now, his eyes are black, and judging from the recent actions of the Song army, not only is he not afraid of the Jurchens, but he relies on his familiarity with the terrain to move around and intercept the rangers. It is even possible that every move of our army is in the eyes of the other party, and we must quickly defeat the outskirts of Tokyo, otherwise once the Great Song Dynasty comes to help, things will not be good.

Thinking of this, he said to Li Wenxing: "When you go to detain the city, you need to pay more attention." I expect that the chief general of the Song army is not in Xianping, but in Chenliu. Pay special attention to Xianping, which is the center of the six counties, and it is very likely that heavy troops will be stationed, so don't be careless. ”

Li Wenxing took the order and said for a while. Say goodbye and leave. Pharmacist Guo got up again and went to the map to check in detail. Clearing the outskirts of Tokyo is no problem. It's just that the city of Tokyo has been run by the southerners for hundreds of years, and the castle is strong, impregnable, and somewhat tricky. But it doesn't matter, just wait for the army of Muhan on the west road to cross the river and join the army under the city. You can attack with all your might. Then it will break Tokyo. There are no dragons in the Great Song Dynasty, not only the land of the two rivers is owned by me, it is the Central Plains, and it is just around the corner! As for Jiangnan, it is not far off. Speaking of which, the Jurchens were really strong, and they defeated the Khitan in a short time, and now the defeat of the Great Song Dynasty is decided, and the party is just dry bones in the grave, and it will be destroyed sooner or later. Let's ask the world, is there an enemy of Jurchen? Luckily, I was in the right place. Jin people want to try to the Southern Dynasty, and they have to rely on their own land, and he can think about his future

Thinking of this, this Song Zhili Rank, Jin Zhigong couldn't help but raise his head and laugh"

Twentieth of the twentieth month, small Tongxu County south of Tokyo.

At this time, the sky net was bright, and the people in the suburbs of the county had already withdrawn into the city, and any materials that could be used by the enemy were either transferred or destroyed, and not even a single hair was left for the Jurchens.

This Tongxu County, which is a large county under the rule of Kaifeng Prefecture, and has an official kiln, the porcelain produced by it is of exquisite quality, not only sold well in the country, but also sent overseas by merchants, and is also extremely sought-after. It's a pity that everything has to make way for war.

At this time, Tongxu County, which had been silent for many days, was broken by a group of birds and beasts. In the muddy field, a large army was marching in full force. The soldiers in armor and swords spewed out clouds of white mist, and walked in turn, looking around from time to time, and saw that there was still snow on the branches and leaves. Is this Tokyo? Originally. I am equal to the Hebei garrison. To protect the territory and the people, who would have thought that one day, he would become a gold precursor and attack his homeland? There's nothing I can do. When soldiers are paid, they all listen to the commander's orders, and they surrender from above, and we can't do it. The infantry ranks stretched hundreds of paces behind. It's all Han soldiers! The foot soldiers passed, and suddenly the number one sound was loud after hearing it, and dozens of soldiers formed a team, pushing the flatbed four-wheeled cars forward, not knowing what to do. Looking further back, it was suddenly terrifying! What is this? The front head is nearly a foot high, but the back head almost touches the ground, hollow. There is room for about a hundred and ten. There are six rounds on the left and right, and it takes fifty or sixty people to work together to push it. Because the snow melted and the road was muddy, the soldiers were very struggling.

The Han army in front is exhausted. Listening to the sound of war horses' hooves, hundreds of knights were in a hurry to march behind. The people on the horse were all Jurchens in leather coats and scimitars. For one, on a cold day, but with a smooth skull, only the back of the ears and the head are braided, the left and right ears are wearing gold rings, the saddle hangs a bow, the waist wears a pot of arrows, and the iron spear in his hand, his expression is fierce, and his eyes are fierce. Next to him, Yihan will follow closely, it is Li Wenxing.

Turning a mountain pass, the county seat of Tongxu is in front of you.

"Built against the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack." Li Wenxing was originally a Song general in Hebei, and the Jin army arrived, and led his troops to surrender directly to Kaicheng. Incorporated into the Golden Army. All the way south. In Ligudu and Huazhou City. Let Xu Yuan kill more than 10,000 soldiers in a few battles, only 4,000 remain, and now he is ordered to seize the city. Seeing that Tongxu County was carrying the mountains, it was troublesome in vain.

At this time, the commander of the Jin army beside him squeaked and said a few words, and someone explained that the Jin army asked him to attack the city before dark. Let's go back to camp and rest. It is said that there are beautiful women of the Southern Dynasty in the camp, and there is good wine, and the Jin army is not willing to spend the night in the bird place.

Straight sissy thief! Bald birds! Autumn beasts! Jurchen barbarian! Why don't you go yourself! cursed fiercely in his heart, but he still had to be careful and beat the horse to command the soldiers.

"Ministries! Prepare your equipment for the siege! Li Wenxing gave an order, and thousands of soldiers moved when they heard the news. More than a dozen flatbed trucks were placed in front of the formation, and at the back, the soldiers carried out a wooden ladder about six feet wide and about one zhang long, and then erected it high. There was a sudden shout, and at the same time he lifted the ladder up the huge van from before. A strong man with a sledgehammer jumped in front of the car and connected the nails. The wooden ladder and the saddle are not vertical. It is quite inclined and should be conducive to climbing.

In the Han army array, a tall car was erected, looking at this shape, it was a bit like a neck singing!

Li Wenxing looked at the head of Tongxu City, and he could vaguely see the soldiers guarding the city swarming up, running around at the head of the city. At the enemy tower, you can even see military attachés in armor and robes talking to each other. Before the big battle, both sides were intensively preparing for it. It's just that I don't know who the defender here is, and I want to dig out my heart and tell him that Kaesong surrenders. There is no need to resist, everyone is flesh and blood, and the mother is raised by the father, so why should he be the enemy of the Jurchens? Didn't you see that people have been fighting the Yellow River from Yanyun to invincible? Now the Jin army is divided into several routes. Qi County, I'm afraid that there is already a war.

"Feng Zhi, the Jurchens asked me to immediately launch an offensive A small colonel rushed to his side and said loudly.

"Fuck the golden dog! If you don't put your grandfather's belongings clean, they won't stop! Li Wenxing scolded in a low voice.

The little colonel also showed helplessness and persuaded: "The Jin people sent these hundreds of horsemen to supervise the battle, let's be careful."

Li Wenxing glanced at the hundreds of gold horses, and then turned his head to see that his subordinates had already prepared. was about to give an order, when he suddenly heard the sound of the horn in the golden cavalry array, and couldn't help but scold again: "Blow your mother's funeral!" Do you understand all the blows? Drumming, siege".

"Drumming," the school chanted loudly. As soon as the words fell, I heard the war drums thundering! A majestic drum sound echoed in the field. Break the pre-war tranquility!

"Siege!"

As soon as the military order, the soldiers in front of the escort each raised their long shields, and more than a dozen people were in a team, pushing the four-wheeled flatbed car forward. Behind them, in the past, each of them got into the bottom of a goose cart, and hundreds of people were in a team, pushing the goose cart and pulling away to follow behind the cart. In front of Tongxu City, I saw more than a dozen giant monsters moving slowly. Behind the scenes, the drums are beating!

Li Wenxing looked at Tongxu City again. I saw that the defenders' crossbowmen were all like each other, and there were still soldiers running and gathering at the head of the county. The Song army is good at attacking fortifications and defenses, which is well known to the world, and now the Jurchens are wishful thinking and send themselves to detain the city, which is really "the spear of the son, the shield of the attacker".

The drums of war are beating faster! The sound shakes the heartstrings! The Han army in front of them has already approached the city! The shield-raising soldiers pushed the chariot with all their might, and went straight to the moat in front of the wall! In an instant, the head of the city was full of sharp arrows! Yu Ji, the bow was seen behind him, and there were ten strokes of arrows to the ground. The moat bridge leads the rabbit moat. Tightly stuck on top of the trench. Meanwhile. More than a dozen goose carts behind suddenly added, pushed forward with all their might, and went straight to the moat bridge.

The defenders of the city, the arrow array is getting denser! Although the pawn of the cart has a shield defense, it is still inevitable that a hundred secrets will be sparse, and those who are hit by arrows will fall to the ground and wail more than once, but only after a piece of Xuan, they have been pierced with sharp arrows all over their bodies.

The commander of the Jin Army suddenly roared. Li Wenxing looked at it, but the goose cart had already crossed the moat bridge, and the wooden ladder leaning forward had been set up on the head of Tongxu City. Thankfully. This is just a small county, the height of the city wall is less than two zhang, if it is as high as Taiyuan, how can it be broken?

As soon as the goose cart leaned against the city wall, the soldiers hiding in the cart shouted in unison, jumped out quickly, and charged upwards with all their might! Li Wenxing's heart couldn't help but tighten, at this time, our side was the time when the casualties were the greatest! Of course, if you can climb to the top of the city in one go, it will be a "great blow" to the morale of the defenders!

"Blade! Not good! The little colonel beside him suddenly exclaimed. The goose chariot soldiers swarmed up. Arrows rained down on the city, rocks and logs beckoned together, and soldiers fell like hailstones. Although some soldiers died in the city and still shot, how could the other party be condescending and take the advantage. Siege warfare is so helpless, no matter how much advantage one side has. But in the face of the defenders who rely on the city, they can't take advantage of it.

Glancing at his subordinates, Li Wenxing sneered: "This defender is quite tenacious, I don't know who the troops are?" Beat the drums to help the army! small

The sound of war drums thundered again, and it was only a small county, but at this time, it was shrouded in the sound of earth-shattering shouts and roaring war drums, and even the county town seemed to tremble in this huge sound.

"Up!" Li Wenxing's expression was gloomy, he waved his hand and shouted loudly. As soon as the military order was given, the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time poured in like a tide. At this time. The archers in the castle are shooting the Goose Cart soldiers with all their might, reducing the threat to the advancing enemy. If the large army can reach the city smoothly, one is to reinforce the goose cart, and the crowd will also push him up! The second is to fill in the moat before the city gate! Prepare for breaking through the gates!

The war continues, and the battle of the offensive must not be impatient, a fortress is often stormed for several months and cannot be broken in the previous year. But once breached, the follow-up response is often overwhelming.

More than an hour passed. Li Wenxing took a deep breath and stared intently at the city. He has a bad premonition, and today he is afraid that he will run into an iron plate. So far, not a single goose cart has been able to storm the city.

The trench fillers also suffered heavy casualties

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the commander of the Jin army ran to the front with a few people, and after shouting, the soldier explained. Seeing that the offensive was not going well, the Jin army asked him to go forward to supervise the battle and urge the soldiers.

"What? Forward! Li Wenxing gritted his teeth and asked angrily. Ask the more than one million Song troops, which of the generals of the army went forward in wartime? That arrow doesn't have eyes, and as the commander of the army, if there is a mistake, who will command it? You Jurchen barbarians know how to gallop the wilderness. How do you understand the mystery of this offensive and defensive technique? It's also the second prince of your family who is urging him very much, if you give me enough time, you will build him dozens of huge cannons. Bombarding the city day and night for three or five days, it is self-defeating! Now let my troops use flesh and blood and simple equipment to seize the city, and let me come forward to supervise the battle, you don't treat me as a human being, do you?

Although he hated it in his heart, he knew that the Jurchens held the power of life and death, and they could not afford to offend. Even this little commander has the power to kill himself in front of the battle. Mother's 1 When did I fall to the point of being driven by Qiuyi! Straight sissy thief! I knew that this was the case, Hengzhi was a death, Lao Tzu might as well stick to the city, that is, the city was broken and martyred, and he was also posthumously praised by the imperial court, and his name went down in history! It's like now, the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied! It's still a bald dog!

After explaining again and again, the commander of the Jin Army just didn't listen. Urging him forward. Even the threat of pulling out a knife. In the midst of the stalemate, Nakin will point his sword at the city. Li Wenxing looked back at it, and couldn't help but change color! Four or five goose cart soldiers began to retreat! These foodies! Bite your teeth and cross your heart. took a few subordinates and urged them to run forward. He only ran a hundred and ten paces, and before he was within the range of the defenders' bows and crossbows, he quickly stopped, and ordered the retreating pawns to return to the city, and those who violated the order were killed! "Blade! The defenders of the city are extremely tenacious! If the arrows rain down, it means that some brothers have gone up into the city. It's either a big knife or a heavy axe! This defender must be the elite of the Western Army! A soldier cried.

Western Army! Li Wenxing only felt his heart sink! Wouldn't it, this small county town is also guarded by the Western Army? If you meet the Western Army here, regardless of his caste, how can I resist with me, a Hebei division? Even if it's all over, it's hard to overcome!

Hesitation. Suddenly, I heard the sound of breaking the sky! The little colonel beside him screamed miserably, and he was immediately planted

Under!

"Divine Arm Bow!" Li Wenxing shouted, he didn't care about the soldiers of his subordinates, and ran back after hitting the horse! In a panic, even the helmet fell! He ran. As a result, the soldiers behind him shouted in unison. Let's run back! Why are you saying that Li Wenxing is so in a hurry? It's just because the Divine Arm Bow not only has a long range, but also has extremely high accuracy! In that year, the Song Liao fought in Lanzhou, and the Liao army besieged the city very urgently, and Xiao Tzulin, the general of the Khitan unified army, thought that he was brave and invincible, and dared to run to the city of Lanzhou with dozens of light horsemen to inspect. was shot in the head by Zhang Huan, the general of the Song Army (Zhou Wenzhen), with an arrow 300 steps away from the divine arm bow! Before he could save the camp, he was killed. I was forced by the golden dog to supervise the battle, it must be the Song army in the city, and I want to come to me! (To be continued)
