Volume 9 Saving the Sky Chapter 789 [Qiangcheng]
On March 14, the city of Tokyo was bustling with hustle and bustle on the Minami Kaoru Gate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since a few days ago, the freshly baked hussar general opened the fighting general mode under the city, and the excitement under the city has really not been interrupted for several days.
First of all, on the twelfth day, dozens of heroes wearing cloth clothes came down from the city to take the initiative to invite the gold people to fight against each other, and everyone looked confused, and on the thirteenth day, they also saw that many of the original Bianliangzi and Jianghu heroes who had some reputation in Tokyo also went to join the gang outside the city.
Like the brothers Zhao Jia and Zhao Yi who wrestled in the Washeri of Mahang Street, the eight-armed Arhat Jiang Defang who opened a meeting hall in the first street of Sweet Water Lane, and several martial artists from the Tokyo Imperial Boxing Gym, I don't know where this guy came down from the city at night, so he went to the team of the gang in front of the city, fought against the Jin army, and won many victories, which can be said to have greatly increased the prestige of the Song people.
The defenders stationed at the head of the city were red and hot-eyed one by one, and this golden man was also menacing when he came.
Early in the morning, after learning that the Jin army had crossed the Yellow River, Li Gang also mobilized the army and civilians to carry the various materials prepared early in the morning to the city. However, the main force of the Jin army arrived at Bianliang City on the 22nd of the first month, and on the morning of the 23rd, they sent invading troops to all gates of Tokyo and launched an attack at the same time. Because in addition to the defense facilities of each gate out of its own are all in place, the imperial chariot army is also stationed to strengthen the defense of the city gate with chariots, so the Jin army's strong attack has not achieved any effect.
However, that night, the Jin army didn't know who it had been told, so they actually got dozens of fireboats down the Bianhe River to attack the West Water Gate. After Li Gang learned of the situation, he hurriedly went into battle in person, and with 2,000 people who dared to die, under the city of Bressi Water Gate, he hit the enemy ship with a long hook and hook, and some of them caused the ship to be destroyed by throwing stones.
Later, in order to prevent the Jin military ships from injuring the West Water Gate lock, Li Gang simply managed to demolish the garden rockery in Cai Jing's courtyard nearby, and directly transported it to block the West Water Gate doorway.
After a day and night of hard fighting, the defenders killed more than 100 Jin soldiers, killed and wounded hundreds, and repelled the attack at the cost of nearly 1,000 people.
On the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month, after the arrival of Wan Yan Zongwang, the commander of the Jin army, he made a feint to attack the Suzao Gate and the Qiu Gate, which seemed to have weak defensive forces, but they could not get close to the city wall, and they were beaten by the chariots stationed under the city with flat-fired bed crossbows.
After that, the Jin army was like a turtle, so he shrank in the camp outside the Nanxun Gate, and then he didn't come to attack the city, so that the defenders were addicted to it and earned a few heads of military merit.
Moreover, the Zhao official family in the palace issued a strict order that when the imperial court sent envoys to negotiate with the Jin, the soldiers of the army should not provoke the Jinren under the city, so in the past month or so, everyone has almost been bored.
As a result, since a few days before the battle, the hussar general Huang Horse was under the city, just in front of the two armies, and in front of tens of thousands of people in the city, first came to a beautiful five-in-a-row kill, and then sent his subordinates to win three battles in a row, as if the carnival mode was opened.
However, while the guards on the city cheered like a tsunami for the heroes who fought under the city, Li Gang, the four-wall guard envoy standing on the Nanxun Gate, was in his eyes and bitter in his heart.
To be honest, he still hasn't figured out how a group of senseless people dared to come to the Tokyo city wall to invite the Jin people to fight, and the Jin people didn't know why they accepted the invitation of such senseless people to fight, and then fought to the death under the city, which was extremely rude and inexplicable.
It's inexplicable, but seeing the people of the Great Song Dynasty under the city, it is also a pleasing thing to kill the Jin people in front of them, so Li Gang also knows that he obeys the will of the people and does not stop this matter.
Fortunately, the two sides started fighting on time today, almost close to around noon, and a group of senseless people under the city took the initiative to withdraw for some reason, and Li Gang was relieved to see the Jin army that quickly returned to the camp under the city. After roughly explaining some matters that need attention to the deputy, he also led a few guards to ride to the palace.
Not long after, Li Gang also entered the Forbidden Palace, and quickly entered the side hall of the Chongzheng Hall where Zhao Huan lived, and saluted: "Your Majesty! It's too late! ”
As soon as Li Gang entered the door, he also saw that there were many people in the side hall, in addition to Li Di, Zheng Wangzhi, He Li and Li Ruoshui, the four great King Kongs that could not be beaten, Li Gang also unexpectedly saw Yun Wang Zhao Kai, Su Wang Zhao Shu, Jing Wang Zhao Qi and Kang Wang Zhao Gou, as well as Wang Hao.
After the salute, Li Gang was also busy reporting the results of today's battle between the folk heroes and the Jin people outside Nanxun Gate, but he could see that Zhao Huan was not interested in this, and after casually perfunctory Li Gang said a few words, he also said to Zheng Wangzhi: "What did the Jin envoy say, you will know it with Li Qing's family again." ”
Li Gang was surprised when he heard it, and he came to see Zheng Wangzhi, but he also saw Zheng Wangzhi say to Li Gang with a smug face: "So that Brother Boji can learn that last night Wangzi went down from Chenzhou Gate and went to Jinying. ”
Li Gang's face was full of surprise when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zheng is not a martial artist, why did he take the risk of the city......
The so-called Xuancheng, that is, to use a basket to load people from the city wall to the foot of the wall, Zheng Wangzhi's current official identity is the Ministry of Works' squire fake Shangshu (acting Shangshu) and the army before the planning envoy, was qualified to go out of the city through the main gate, but he ran to the city, which naturally surprised Li Gang.
Zheng Wangzhi smiled shamelessly at Zhao Huanmei: "Zheng Mou's food king's luck, the matter of loyalty to the king, and the danger of the city, what is the way?" ”
Li Gang didn't expect that he was curious to ask, but instead became a cheer for Zheng Wangzhi's sedan chair, and immediately felt a little depressed in his heart, so he also asked himself: "I don't know what news Brother Zheng went to find out from the golden camp?" ”
Zheng Wangzhi didn't continue to disgust people, so he also said: "After entering the Jin camp, I didn't get to see the Jin Commander Zong Wang, and I only talked with the Jin envoy Wu for an hour. The Jin envoy Wu Xiaomin, as an abandoned vassal of the Liao State, made a certain person seem to have some intentions towards the homeland, and said that the matter of peace talks with a certain person was to ask the two countries to take the Yellow River as the boundary, and the Song Dynasty would give Jin the money to pay for the army, but in fact, what he sincerely asked for was only gold, silver, money, cattle and horses, as well as the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian, and he was willing to withdraw from the army with the prince and the prime minister as hostages. ”
"Ridiculous!" When Li Gang heard this, he flicked his sleeves and scolded: "How to call it Three Towns?" also wants the prince and the prime minister to be hostages, which is simply too deceitful. ”
"Li Boji is reasonable, if the Jin people sincerely seek peace, they can also have some wealth, cattle and horses, and cede the three towns and send the prince and the prime minister as hostages, absolutely not!" Li Ruoshui on the side naturally spoke out for Li Gang's help,
He Li even shouted: "Zheng Shilang, you are willing to take a strange risk to go to the city, is it this kind of covenant to lose power and humiliate the country?" ”
