Chapter 706: The destruction of the city is imminent
Chapter 706: The city is about to be destroyed
The place where Xu Wei and the others sat was a pile of hay for war horses, which was very soft, and they could smell the unique fragrance of forage. Zijin Tiger took a sip of wine, looked at the moon and sighed: "Yes, it's been almost twenty years in the blink of an eye." Do you remember how many places we've been in the past 20 years? How many battles have you fought? β
Yang Yan sighed: "I can't remember it." Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Hedong, anyway, north of the Yangtze River, almost all over. There should be hundreds of big battles and small battles, right? Serious for the rest of your life. β
The two brothers recalled the eventful years of the past, when all the brothers were young and vigorous, and from the beginning of the army, they did not feel that there was anything great about the Jurchens. In the first battle in Xiangzhou, the Hu'er Army, which was still the Jingsui Battalion at that time, made a good start and defeated the Jin Army. Since then, he has fought bloody battles with the Jin army for many years, and has rarely been defeated. The glory, the excitement, the joy, and the pain of the past all came to my heart.
"yes, the rest of the battle. How many brothers have we broken to get to where we are today. Hey, have you been to Ma's house recently? Ma Er's son has grown into a half-grown son, just like his father......" Xu Wei said.
"Fat!" Yang Yan immediately interfaced. "When I saw him, I remembered the old things we used to do in Xujiazhuang, Xiajin County, and my heart was blocked."
Xu Wei sighed: "Who said it wasn't?" That year, I, you, Zhang San, Ma Er, the four of us took more than 90 people from the Daimyo Mansion to make trouble, and turned to the east and west, who knows, Ma Er took the first step. Every time I see that kid, I think of the time when Ma Er lost money in the county town and was detained. You and Zhang San came back to me, and our brothers smashed the gambling house together. β
"At that time, our brother formed a bond with Yang Jin, a hornless cow, but how did he expect that later, he fought side by side with us, and even died in Pingyang, he was really a man. Hey, what's that Bird County Lieutenant called? Beam, beam what? Oh, Liang Heng! Later, I didn't know that this straight thief had run away, otherwise, I would have killed him! Yang Yan smiled.
These old things can't be said even if they are put on the table for three days and three nights. Xu Wei took a sip of wine, exhaled, and said in a deep voice: "We have broken countless brothers, and we have broken Ma Tai, and you have broken one eye, in exchange for all this today." In the future, if there is no war, what are you going to do? β
"No war?" Yang Yan didn't seem to have thought about this problem. He thought for a long time before he said, "Even if you don't fight, this army must always have someone to control it, right?" β
"That's it." Xu Wei nodded. "However, commanding the army is not something that anyone can do, but it is an individual who can control the army. One day when the war ends, I am afraid that it will be time for you and me to unload our armor and return to the field. β
Although Yang Yan is a rough man, he is not stupid, as soon as he heard this, he turned his head and asked, "Brother Jiu, did you receive any news?" β
"What's the need for this? It's obvious, I'm the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi today, and you're the commander of Yongxing, why? Just because the court wants us to go to war, and if we don't fight in the future, what's the use of people like you and me? Xu Wei said with a smile.
Although under the moonlight, he couldn't see the change in Yang Yan's expression clearly, but his tone really showed dissatisfaction: "That's not possible!" The team was pulled up by our brothers, and the land was won by our brothers, if anyone wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey, hehe......"
"You're thinking simply." Xu Wei shook his head and said. "Now that the situation in Song and Jin has changed, the Jurchens cannot threaten the survival of the Great Song Dynasty. It is also thanks to the Zhao Guanjia who are determined to forge ahead and recover, otherwise, some people may already be fighting the idea of people like us. β
Yang Yan poured a big breath, and snorted coldly: "Ninth brother, let's put it this way, the Great Song Dynasty can block the onslaught of the Jurchens for many years, and even today accumulate strength and start to fight back, your credit is crowned in the world!" If anyone is not good for you, Yang Da is a martial artist, you can only talk to him with a knife! β
Xu Wei was noncommittal, and only said: "You have to remember that light will make the knife not work." β
"Use your brains, Brother Jiu and Zhang San will do it, you have thought about it, support me, I can do it." Yang Yan's words have a deep meaning, and the two brothers know it.
On June 11, the Song army launched a massive near-front siege. Launched a general attack from all sides of Taiyuan City, the dense moat bridge was almost covered with the moat, the forest of goose car flying bridges was almost covered with the Taiyuan city wall, and the Song soldiers who swarmed forward were like ants, densely climbing up to Taiyuan City.
Out of the instinct of survival, the resistance of the Jin army has to be called tenacious. The artillery they placed in the city finally came in handy at this time, causing great losses to the besieging Song army, and the strong bows and crossbows made many Song soldiers fall on the way to attack. The two sides fought fiercely until the afternoon, Taiyuan City was in danger, the most alarming time, Taiyuan Xicheng was bombed at the corner of the city, a large number of Song army soldiers boarded, once almost controlled the city wall of Xicheng. However, Fusan Zhongyi personally organized elite soldiers and drove the Song army in Shangcheng down. The bombing of the city gate that the Song army is good at will not be useful this time. Because several city gates in Taiyuan were sealed from the inside. In this way, there was no other way but to cross the walls and attack the city.
However, the siege of the city was not successful on the first day, which did not damage the high morale of the Song army in the slightest. On the evening of the 11th, Xu Wei convened a temporary meeting of the generals and made new arrangements for the battle situation of the day, so as to prepare for another battle in the coming day.
On June 12, the Song army continued its onslaught. And the Jin army defending the city also put on a posture of killing the fish and breaking the net, and resisted desperately. But by lunchtime, the southern wall of Taiyuan had gradually been controlled by the Song army. Although the Jin army organized the brave men to rush, the Song army became more and more courageous and had gained a firm foothold.
"Pacify! Big things are not good! On the Shuaifu Festival Hall, the First World War General rushed into the hall and shouted at Wan Yan Liang who was sitting in the hall with a group of scribes.
Wan Yanliang was bluffed by this sentence, and said in a lost voice: "What's the matter?" β
"The Song army has already attacked the southern city wall, and it is only a moment to enter the city!" The warrior shouted.
Wan Yan Liang jumped up, and quickly sat back, his eyes wandered, and his face was full of horror! How? Is the city about to be destroyed? The scribes in the hall were in a mess, questioning each other, and the content was only one sentence: "How can you be good?" β
After a while, Wan Yanliang's expression gradually calmed down, looking at the staff in the hall who were like the end of the day, and said helplessly: "The matter has come to this, martyrdom for the country can be regarded as doing your duty, why should you panic?" The hall was silent for a while, and the scribes were silent, and when it came to this, I am afraid they had no choice.
And in the Song army camp outside the city, Xu Wei was not paying attention to the battle situation at all. He had already completed the arrangement last night, and now he is commanding in front of the enemy, which is the matter of Yang Yan, Zhang Xian and other generals. At this time, he was personally preparing an order to ask why Shaanxi had not yet sent supplies to the front.
"Report!" A thunderous voice rang out outside the tent.
"Come in." Xu Wei was talking, but the pen in his hand still hadn't been put down.
As soon as he entered, his face was a little happy, and he hugged his fists and said: "Your lord, the first part of the Yongxing Army has captured the southern city, Yang Jing said slightly, tonight I will invite the king to enter the city and settle the people." β
Xu Wei was also surprised, looked up and said, "Oh? Already on the South Side? Okay, you go back and tell Yang Jingluo, take the city in one go. β
"Order!" The general answered, and left the tent.
Xu Wei wrote the warrant, put it in the letterbox, summoned the guards, and sent it out immediately. After finishing his work, he was about to go out of the camp to see the situation of the battle, and as soon as he reached the door of the tent, before he could reach out and lift the curtain, he heard a commotion outside.
"Who are you? How can the king's tooth tent be heard of trespassing? "This should be the voice of the Guardian.
"You get out of the way!" The man who said this spoke very quickly, and as if he were extremely urgent. After this, there was a dispute. Xu Wei lifted the curtain and frowned to look out.
I saw that his guards were blocking with the barrel of the gun, and two people were holding on to the barrel of the gun and pushing it. The two were dressed in military uniforms, with blood stains on their armor and faces, apparently having experienced the battle.
Most of the officers above the commander of the Qin Fengjun, Yongxing Army, and Liangxing Army who went out this time knew Xu Wei. But these two people are not officers of the Western Army, but the two leaders of the Red Turban Army, after the main army of the Western Army, the soldiers, the archers, and most of the righteous army gathered under the city of Taiyuan, the Red Turban Army was ordered to guard Baijing Village. These two people are the guards of Baijing Village.
The Baijing Village is located in the north of Taiyuan City 70 miles, only more than 10 miles away from Xinzhou north of Taiyuan, facing the Chitang Pass. And Chitang Pass is the only way for the Jin army to rush south to aid Taiyuan.
As soon as Xu Wei saw these two people, his heart skipped a beat.
When the two generals saw Xu Wei coming out, they hurriedly retreated, hugged their fists and said, "I've seen the king." β
Xu Wei was silent for a while, and said softly: "Come in and say." After speaking, he turned around and returned to the tent.
The two generals of the Volunteer Army then came in, and before they could report, Xu Wei asked directly, "The Jin Army is here?" β
"King Yu, this morning, the cavalry of the Jin Army suddenly came out of Chitang Pass and went straight to Baijing Village! The lowly rank and others led their troops and horses to resist the enemy, but they acted in a hurry, caught off guard, and were defeated by the gold thief! I have come to ask the king for my guilt! After speaking, the two generals bowed to the ground.
Xu Wei's expression did not change, and he said loudly: "Chitang Pass is one of the three passes in Taiyuan, which is in the hands of the Jin Army, and it is only more than ten miles away from Baijing Village. The Jin army raided with elite cavalry, and your troops were caught off guard, and the defeat of the army was excusable, and it was not a crime of war, so get up. β
The second general was grateful, and after getting up, he only heard King Xu Jun ask: "According to your judgment, how many people and horses have come from the Jin army?" β
"According to the lowly position, the cavalry of the Jin army is afraid of two or three thousand cavalry!" One of the generals replied.
Two or three thousand? If two or three thousand cavalry troops can be used as the vanguard, then the strength of this Jin army to rescue Taiyuan should not be too small, and the most conservative estimate must be counted above 10,000 troops. Could it be that Yan Yun urgently mobilized troops to solve Taiyuan's urgent needs?
However, Dingzhong could not allow Xu Wei to think about it carefully, so he immediately ordered: "Call Yang Zaixing to come and see him." βRO
