A small Rong army to Chang'an City, probably the later Shaanxi Huayin to Xi'an Jiayuan belt, the altitude is below 500 meters, is in the Guanzhong Plain. In addition to the city and Weishui, there is basically no support in this section, and the Rong army is reorganized from the former Huayin County, the county seat is not large, and it is impossible to defend it for a long time. Therefore, while deciding to defend Chang'an City, Xu Wei ordered the transfer of the Dingrong Army and Huazhou, which were still under the control of the Song army. However, the situation of Shaanzhou is very special, it is an important town connecting Shaanxi and Henan, the territory is mountainous, and there are slag passes and Hangu passes, which are very conducive to the defense of the infantry army. In view of this situation, Xu Wei asked Li Gang to send Yao Pingzhong to Shaanzhou before retreating from the Dingrong garrison, and after obtaining consent, he gave Yao Pingzhong 10,000 troops and suggested that he could gather the rebel army and deploy defenses in Shaanzhou. No matter how the situation in Guanzhong changes, Shaanzhou must hold on.

While he was in full swing to set up defenses, Sticky Han's army also completed the assembly in Tongzhou. In order to attack Chang'an, he withdrew Han Chang, a Han general who was good at attacking fortifications, from the front line of receiving Germany, and sent the division to collect Shaanzhou. After the preparations were completed, he led the Jin army, the Han army, the Xi army, the Khitan army, the Li army, and the Hedong Shaanxi army, totaling nearly 200,000 people, and marched to Chang'an.

It may be because Xu Wei entertained him some time ago, and in order to retaliate, the Jin army posted an article along the way. It is stated that those who cooperate with the Jin Army will not raid their homes or draw Ding, and will be preserved. There are those who can offer Li Gang and other Shaanxi officials, according to different official ranks, the reward ranges from hundreds of thousands, in addition to real estate, fields, slaves and other rewards. However, if anyone can catch Xu Wei, he will be rewarded with ten dollars and a horse. Later, Jin Jun felt that this matter was quite boring, because who did the list show out? The people ran almost away, and all the people who could take them away were gone, so that they rushed headlong into the supposedly rich Guanzhong Plain without reaping any benefits. But the Jurchens are not in a hurry, isn't Chang'an ahead? I heard that it is the capital of several dynasties and generations in China, can there be less gold, silver, money and grain? Anyway, let's bury your head in the attack, take Chang'an, what do you want?

At the end of July, the Jin army advanced westward from Weishui, crossed the Weihe River in Chishui Town, where Yelu Ma had crossed the river five times, and went all the way down to Weinan and Linhuang to the eastern suburbs of Chang'an. When the forward officer of the Jin Army peeked into the city defense of Chang'an, he was shocked by the behemoth in front of him. The height of the city wall, the width of the moat, the Jinxi Route Army has seen it before! The complexity of the various facilities on the city wall and the completeness of the supporting facilities are not at all comparable to the prefecture and state cities. This Jin army striker led his subordinates to fight horses around the city, and he suddenly appeared, the city wall of Chang'an is probably dozens of miles long! No wonder Yelu said that without more than 100,000 or 200,000 horses, Chang'an can't get down!

Just as he was about to take a closer look, a horse army rushed from the city, although the strength was not much, only one or two hundred horsemen, but the lone division of the forward was deep, and he did not dare to stay for a long time. Immediately flew away and reported to Sticky Han in Linhuang.

At this time, Yelu Ma Wu still held on to the last glimmer of hope, and asked Mu Han to change the direction of his troops, not to attack Chang'an, but to take Huanqing. But although this person is irritable, he is more decisive, and he will not look back on what he decides. Isn't it better to make the city bigger? Yan'an, why don't we also capture it? Besides, look at my siege equipment being transported all over the city, and there are thousands of goose carts alone, what are you afraid of? Almost 200,000 horses, if I can't take Chang'an, then what else can I talk about seizing the whole of Shaanxi and then seeking Shu?

So he didn't listen to Ma Wu's words, drove the army forward, and the troops came to Chang'an!

On the first day of August, it was a big day, but the climate was not as hot as it was in June and July. The soldiers stood on the top of the city, and even if they were wearing armor, they didn't feel much uncomfortable. On the city wall, which is more than three zhang wide, soldiers from the Xu family army and the seed family army are busy carrying arrows, wood, stones, fire oil and other things. On the horse's face, the divine arm bow and bed crossbow are lined up, and the crossbowmen are making final checks to make sure the equipment is in good condition.

Unlike the noise and noise at the head of the city, the city appears to be in order. Within the four gates of Chang'an City, there are hundreds of robe cars of various colors, needless to say, I also know that this must be the masterpiece of Wang Yu, the general of the family army, who makes robes with robes. This time, they are much more generous than when they were in Binh Duong. Chang'an is the top priority of Shaanxi, and its city defense is naturally not comparable to other prefectures. All the equipment is complete, and Li Gang gave Xu Wei full power, the arsenal is open for you, what you want, he only asks for the same, keep Chang'an!

Next to each robe cart, there are wooden boxes of varying numbers, and if you look closely, you will see that there are still seals affixed to them by the Shaanxi Hua Jinglu Pacification Division. Before the war, no one is allowed to open the package, because the things in it are not trivial, and if one accidentally blew up, it is no joke. The robe chariots gathered in one place at this time, listening to the commanders of the robe chariots announce the ban. Such as fire prevention, moisture prevention, earthquake prevention, etc., especially the one that instructs the fire, be careful, the fire can not be dispersed. Otherwise, you will have to be beheaded if you don't die.

The army was so busy that the common people couldn't look past it. Xiao Xu stayed to stick to Chang'an, we miss his kindness, what can we do to help him? From the end of July, to Shuai Sizi Fujijiang weapons. Assist the people defending the city. It's like a cloud! Bumian's general, Hua Yijia, reported to Xu Wei and asked for instructions. Zijin Tiger said at the time that it was time for the people of Pingtou to defend the city with swords, and Chang'an City would not be far from the fall. If you have to give you some advice, that is, stay at home, don't run around, first, be arrested as suspicious, second, save physical strength, eat less, save food, this attack and defense of the city can not be completed in a day or two.

Just when the city was in full swing. The soldiers at the head of the city were unusual. A soldier put a bucket-sized bundle of arrows on the wall of his horse, wiped his sweat, and cursed in his heart. Lao Tzu was the first commander of the heavy infantry, when did he fall to the point of carrying equipment? You say that archers and crossbowmen should prepare for battle and conserve their physical strength, and I also think that after all, people are the main force. Those who handle robes are rough men, they don't have any skills, they don't work?

When he was scolding his mother, his head unconsciously turned to the east, and he was stunned. A few miles away, what is that large expanse? Like a gray cloth, it was slowly moving forward.

He immediately looked towards the watchtower in the city, and at this glance, he was furious, looking at his son! After looking back for a while, he saw that it was indeed moving, and hurried to the other side of the wall, and shouted downward, "There is an enemy!" ”

After a while, I saw two lookouts like flying apes, crawling towards the watchtower! Go to the top of the building and look east. Today's weather is sunny and the view is excellent, these two lookers are now directly east of Chang'an City, and the crowds of people all over the field are converging here! This watchtower is very high, and as long as you have a good line of sight, you can see several miles.

"Look, from front to back, how long does it stretch?" One of the lookouts asked his companion.

The companion stretched his face and shook his head: "I can't estimate it, let alone seven or eight miles."

"Hey, your eyes, learn to be a little bit, the big head is behind. According to its formation, it may stretch for more than ten miles. In other words, the gold thief said that there were 100,000 soldiers. "That hopeful son seems to be very experienced.

"One hundred thousand? Chang'an is such a big city, can you eat 100,000? The Jurchens are not afraid of their teeth? The companion asked, turning his head.

Wangzi sighed and sighed: "It's hard to say, when the Jurchens raised their troops, it was said that there were only tens of thousands of horses, and they didn't eat the Liao State?" Now you and my ancestral graves are still trampled under the hooves of other people's horses

"Let's go, report to go!"

At the head of the city, the soldiers who showed the enemy's situation were hugging the female wall and looking eastward, and there was a lot of discussion. Suddenly, I heard a thunderous voice behind me: "Xuanfu Xianggong, after a little Xianggong."

Everyone turned around and stood straight! At the end of the steps, Li Gang and Xu Wei, accompanied by the civil and military officials of the Zhusi, ascended to Dongcheng. But wherever they passed, all the sergeants saluted, and did not dare to look at them.

Xu Wei waved his whip: "Each performs its duties!" The soldiers dispersed.

Li Gang had seen a little battle, so he could still maintain his composure when he looked at the city from afar, and the enemy army was overwhelming. But the adults in departments such as the transfer and re-investigation and criminal departments are not so calm. As soon as Wan Qian glanced at it, he exclaimed: "There are so many Jinren."

"Didn't you come with the whole country's troops?" Someone chimed in. Xu Wei ignored this stubble, and propped his hand on the tooth battlement of the city wall and looked east. In the Battle of Pingyang, he had seen the 140,000 formations of the Jin Army, but this time, he still couldn't help but be surprised. Sticky Han is really bloody, in this position, although not to mention the soldiers of the whole country, but I am afraid that it is also the gathering of troops that can be assembled in Hedong, Shaanxi. With such a large corps, logistical supply is enough of a headache.

After looking at it for a while, the enemy group got closer and closer, and gradually I could distinguish the shape of the centaurs. A group of civil officials exploded the pot behind, Xu Wei looked back, and saw that someone was so frightened that his face turned pale. Rather than leaving them here to make noise and affect the morale of our army, it is better to rush back. Let's sit in the court and drink tea.

"Xuanfu Xianggong, my lords, this city is noisy and chaotic, please go back Xu Wei bowed his hand to everyone.

Li Gang glanced at the east again, and he was quite apprehensive in his heart, but he understood very well that this battle was a matter for the military ministers, and now it was up to Xu Jiu. As soon as he thought of this, he said: "Ziang, in Chang'an City, there are more than 400,000 soldiers and civilians, how heavy is this, you should be as clear as you are." ”

Xu Wei said: "Keep in mind the humble duty

Li Gang looked at him deeply, nodded again, and then turned around and walked towards the city. The officials of the various divisions followed behind, and some of them were so frightened that they had to support each other to walk. Xu Wei thought it was funny when he first saw it, but then he thought about it, fighting a war was originally the responsibility of us soldiers, and it was a normal reaction for these civil servants to be afraid.

Li Xuanfu and his entourage left, and Xu Wei smiled at the general beside him: "Brother Zhengchen, you and I will join hands again today, so that Sticky Han will know that in this world, there is not a city that he can't capture."
