Chapter 284: The Siege of Kaifeng (Final)

Zong Wang never expected that a well-planned sneak attack, which he thought could be easily achieved, would turn into such a tragic encounter.

The tenacity and ferocity of the Song army far exceeded his expectations, which made Zong Wang, who was watching the battle, admire him.

"If Nan'er is such a hero, I am afraid of more evil and less lucky."

Zong Wang let out a long sigh, but then showed a hideous color, "That's it, the more you have to attack this Bianliang City and eradicate Nan'er's brave spirit."

Puruhu, dare to attack the city? ”

From Wanyan Zongwang's side, he snatched out a sturdy man, bowed down and said, "The imperial brother is famous, and the younger brother dares to disobey." ”

Pu Luhu, whose Han name is Wanyan Zongpan, is the eldest son of Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai. This time, he went south from Wanyan Zongwang, hoping to take this opportunity to establish meritorious service and gain a foothold in the Dajin Dynasty in the future. Hearing Zong Wang's order, Pu Luhu didn't say a word, picked up a big axe, held a shield in one hand, and shouted: "Children, follow me to kill Song Dog." ”

After that, Pu Luhu led his troops to rush out and went straight to Chaoyangmen.

Wanyan Zongwang's face showed a solemn expression, and he suddenly asked, "Liu Yanzong, how long has the war lasted?" ”

"It's been nearly half an hour since I returned to Your Highness."

Wanyan Zongwang raised his eyebrows, revealing a worried look, "Half an hour, internal and external attacks, still unable to break through the small Chaoyang Gate, the courage of the Song army is beyond Lone's expectations." If there is no further progress, it will be even more difficult for the Song army to send reinforcements. ”

"Yes, General Guo of Beicheng also sent news that the Song army resisted resolutely and suffered heavy casualties."

“…… Hold on a little longer, and if you can't make progress, you can only withdraw your troops. ”

Wanyan Zongwang knew very well that with the current strength of the Jin army, it would not be easy to capture Tokyo.

The Western Route Army was blocked in Taiyuan, making Wanyan Zongwang go deep alone. If Tokyo is really occupied, it will provoke even more anger from the Song army. In this case, it is better to focus on deterrence, and if you think about it, the old Zhao official's family will inevitably feel afraid.

Wanyan Zongwang is not looking down on the southerners. To put it bluntly, what he looks down on is the Great Song royal family, as well as the Great Song officials who have a vegetarian meal on the corpse in the court.

As he planned, attacking Kaifeng, even if he couldn't enter the inner city, was enough to make Zhao Huan tremble and have no intention of fighting again.

At that time, he will be able to retreat smoothly. You won't have too much trouble.

It's just that the current situation of this war of deterrence has made Wanyan Zongwang have a better understanding of the Song army......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Jin army poured into Chaoyangmen like a tide.

Yu Yin's voice was hoarse, and he couldn't remember how many people he had killed.

At this moment, he was covered in bruises, and his whole body was like a bloody person. However, the Jin army in front of him did not decrease, but became more and more.

Most of the Song army had been killed and wounded, although many new troops had been invested from the camp of the Xiang army. But overall, the Song army is still in a cracked tongue. The tiger out of the long knife became extraordinarily heavy, and Yu Yin gasped. I feel a little overwhelmed. He cut down a Jin soldier who pounced, wiped a handful of blood on his face, and looked around, and saw that the defense line formed by the Song army on Fanjiagang had already been riddled with holes.

"Brother Xiaoyi...... Are you okay! ”

Yan Nu's voice came from his ears, and Yu Yin looked at it, and saw that Yan Nu was covered in blood, and the green bamboo gun was almost dragged upside down in his hand. Coming towards him.

"Sister Jiu'er, go down."

"No!"

Yan Nu said loudly, and the green bamboo spear drew an arc of light, stabbing a golden soldier.

This girl is stubborn again!

Yu Yin knew it. It was impossible to persuade Yan Nu to leave, so he limped to Yan Nu's side, and the two stood back to back and supported each other.

Jin Jun's shouting of killing is getting closer and closer, Yu Yin's heart. It also gradually sank.

Could it be that you are going to die here today?

He secretly looked at Yan Nu, gritted his teeth, and wanted to knock Yan Nu unconscious. In this case, she still has a chance to live. …,

But just as he was about to make a move, from the direction of the Northeast Water Gate, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves.

Immediately after that, someone shouted: "Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming!" ”

When Yu Yin heard this, his spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly raised his eyes to look, and saw that a group of Song troops was coming quickly from a distance. As the first general, he dismounted from his horse with his crotch and two golden hammers in his hands, majestic and murderous. There was still some distance from Fanjiagang, and I heard the man shouting loudly: "Brothers, don't panic, Uncle Zhang is also coming...... Prisoners, don't be rampant! ”

Zhang Bofen?

Yu Yin was quite familiar with the name, but he couldn't remember who it was.

was or, but saw a bloody man suddenly appear in front of him, holding a long sword and staggering over.

"It's Zhang Xianggong's eldest son, and the infantry army division is commanding the envoy......"

Zhang Shuye is a member of the Privy Council, and he is not a member of the Privy Council, but he can also be called a minister.

It is also a strange thing, in this battle of Kaifeng, the two chief privy council officers who were in charge of military affairs, Seed Master Dao and Zhang Shuye, were not in Kaifeng. If it weren't for that, the Battle of Kaifeng would not have been so aggrieved. Li Gang advocated a firm strategy, but he did not know how to be flexible and missed several good opportunities, so that the Jin army finally came to the city.

Changed to Seed Master Dao and Zhang Shuye, they said that they would launch a counterattack when they won a big victory in Yuyin Guoqiao Town, and the battle situation may be two sides.

It's just that it's too late to say this.

Seeing Zhang Bofen leading his troops to help, Yuyin was in high spirits.

"Sister Jiu'er, go and join Wang Niangzi, I will lead people to launch a counterattack and recapture Chaoyangmen."

Yan Nu was shocked, and wanted to persuade Yu Yin when he saw the bruises on his body, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back......

"Brother Xiaoyi, be careful."

"I know!"

After Yu Yin finished speaking, he dragged the knife and left.

"Xiao Yi, Thirteen Lang, follow me to recapture Chaoyangmen."

Not far away, Gao Zhong and He Yuanqing heard Yu Yin's summons, and immediately responded in unison.

Even if he was hit by two arrows in his body, Li Bao's master and apprentice, who were already weak, were also in high spirits and shouted in unison after the reinforcements arrived.

For a time, although the number of the Song army was small, the momentum actually suppressed the Jin soldiers.

Yu Yin took the lead, and the tiger danced with a big sword, rolling up heavy knife waves. Everywhere he passed, he only killed the Jin soldiers on their backs, and the blood flowed like a river.

Gao Chong and He Yuanqing are on the left and right, like two tigers descending from the mountain.

Li Bao's master and apprentice followed closely behind, like a pack of hungry wolves, killing the golden soldiers and retreating again and again.

"Song dog. Hugh be arrogant! ”

Yu Yin's eyes were red, and a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in his ears.

A man like a black iron tower appeared in front of him, with a huge axe in his hand, blocking Yu Yin's way, and cutting down the face.

Yu Yin raised his knife to greet him, and he heard the sound of the bell, and the knives and axes intersected.

To be honest, Yu Yin was born with strange powers. Although the Jin general is fierce, he may not be Yu Yin's opponent. But after all, it was a long battle, coupled with scaly wounds all over his body, after the intersection of swords and axes, although Yu Yin broke open the giant axe, it was also a tiger's mouth bursting, and it was bloody.

He took a few steps back and sat on the ground with his buttocks.

Kim Jiang laughed and strode forward. The wheel axe chopped again. Gao Chong stepped forward, and He Yuanqing blocked Yu Yin left and right, and fought with Najin General. Yu Yin was smashed by the Jin general. Some were dizzy and couldn't get up when they sat on the ground.

At this moment, a big hand suddenly grabbed his arm, and Lu Zhishi shouted: "Yu Xiaoyi, the thieves have not withdrawn, and the city gate has not been seized, do you have to retreat from the battle?" ”

Yu Yin was furious and stood up suddenly.

Lu Zhishi handed the long knife in his hand to Yu Yin, "Yu Xiaoyi." You are the main general, and you should be at the front. ”

The words were not very beautiful, but Yu Yin could hear a hint of concern.

He glared at Lu Zhishi, took the long knife and without saying a word, then rushed towards Jin Bing again. "Brothers, take back the gates with me." …,

At this time, Zhang Bofen led reinforcements to Fanjiagang.

It's just that when he went to Fanjiagang, he was shocked by the scene in front of him!

The area of Fanjiagang is not large. At this time, there were corpses all over the field, and there were dead bodies everywhere, and there were at least more than a thousand corpses when you looked at it widely.

I couldn't help but gasp, and secretly admired in my heart.

Under Fanjiagang, the Song army was still struggling to support, and Zhang Bofen was also full of blood, roared, and led his troops to rush down Fanjiagang.

The addition of this new force made the Song army's defense line, which was almost collapsed, stable again.

Zhang Bofen took the lead, danced with a double hammer in his hand, and killed in front of the battle.

However, when he came to the front of the battle, he found that the main generals here turned out to be two women and two scholars.

"Who is Yuyin?"

Wang Yange's plain clothes had been dyed red, and when he heard Zhang Bofen's inquiry, he replied: "Commander Yu is leading people and is retaking Chaoyangmen." ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Bofen was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Yu Yin Gao a few points.

On the way here, he heard that the Xiang army was in command, and the martial arts scholar Qin Zai escaped from the battle. When he heard the news, Zhang Bofen's first reaction was to find that Qin Zai and then correct him on the spot. You have all commanded the army and run away, you can imagine what the army will be like in chaos...... Zhang Bofen is also the son of an official eunuch, and he is arrogant on weekdays. In his opinion, if Qin Zai runs away, then Yu Yin may not be able to support the battle.

Zhang Bofen doesn't have a good impression of Yuyin.

First, Yu Yin has no fame, and secondly, he has no family background, so he somehow became the commander of the palace, and he was very popular.

seems to be Zhang Bofen, who came up by virtue of his military exploits, so he naturally looks down on Yuyin.

In addition, the court also criticized Yu Yin a lot, which made Zhang Bofen feel that Yu Yin was a lucky guy.

It is the great victory of Guoqiao Town, in Zhang Bofen's opinion, it is also Yuyin's luck.

Who would have thought that it was this person he looked down on on weekdays that would single-handedly support the battle situation here in such a critical situation.

"You ...... Who is it? Why is it here? ”

A bloody scholar arched his hand and said: "The subordinate official is Chen Dong, the chief bookkeeper under the command of Yu.

This lady is the lady of the Naiyu command family; This one is the widow of Ma Gao, the former soldier and horse envoy of the front hall, and the wife of Wang Yange. I heard that the situation here is tense, so I came to help. The two ladies also fought bravely here, killing nearly 100 thieves. ”

This time, not only Zhang Bofen gasped, but also Song Jun behind Zhang Bofen also looked at each other.

Wang Yange and Yan Nu were both covered in blood, whether it was Wang Yange's embroidered velvet broadsword or the green bamboo gun in Yan Nu's hand, they were also bloodstained...... And around the two of them, there were more than 20 corpses of Jin soldiers, which also proved that what Chen Dong said was true. Such two delicate little ladies are so brave, which is really admirable.

Zhang Bofen's face turned red, he suddenly turned around, and shouted: "Brothers, if you don't fight bravely today, you want the two ladies to laugh, and you will not tolerate mercy." ”

He asked no more questions, and rushed into battle.

Song Jun, who was immediately behind Zhang Bofen, shouted in unison: "Hugh is going to be laughed at by the little lady and fight with the thief." ”

A dignified man. But it can't compare to the two little ladies, and it will be surprising in the future, doesn't it mean that my big Song boy has no ability?

Wang Yange and Yannu didn't expect such a result, and they were stunned for a while, a little at a loss......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Woo-woo-woo-

Outside the Chaoyang Gate, the Jin army sounded the horn of the army.

Under the desperate struggle of the Song army, the Jin army was finally driven out of Chaoyang Gate step by step.

Yu Yin leaned against the cold city wall. I sat on the ground and didn't want to move. Fang just fought hard, and he didn't feel anything. At this time, Jin Bing retreated, and he felt an inexplicable dizziness. Later generations said: The Jurchen is not more than 10,000, and more than 10,000 are invincible...... This may be an exaggeration of the Jurchens, but I have to say that these children are indeed extremely tough. …,

Speaking of which, Yu Yin and the Liao people have fought each other. He also fought with Song Jun.

But what really put pressure on him was today's gang of Jin Bing, who was really close to death.

The broadsword was placed beside him. Yu Yin closed his eyes, drowsy, and his mind gradually became a little less clear...... At this moment, I heard someone shouting: "Where is Yuyin?" Where is the Jade Command? Don't come to see Sima Shilang yet? ”

Yu Yin wanted to answer, but when the voice came to his mouth, he couldn't get out.

Immediately after, it was dark in front of him, and he fell to the ground along the city wall. Faintly, I heard Yan Nu's cry. There was also a strange, familiar call......

I'm tired, I'm really tired!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ouchi, Enwa Hall.

The shouting and killing sound outside the city faintly came, which made Zhao Huan's heart tremble.

Several times he wanted to get up and go out. But he didn't have the courage to stand up. He could only wait for news in the main hall with trepidation.

"Your Majesty, Chaoyangmen has been breached!"

"What?"

Zhao Huan was startled, stood up and said, "What did you just say?" ”

"The thieves were cunning, and they used the strategy of attacking the east and the west, and then made the city make a sneak attack on the camp of the Chaoyang Gate Army. Broke through the Chaoyang Gate. ”

"Bastards, bastards, a bunch of incompetents."

Zhao Huan was so angry that he was like thunder and wandered in the main hall.

"The thief, have you entered the city?"

"It is said that it has not yet entered the city...... It is said that it was the soldiers and horses in front of the palace who led Yu Yin to lead his troops to fight to the death, which was able to block the footsteps of the thieves.

Li Shangshu has ordered the Northeast Water Gate to guard the general, and the infantry division has commanded Zhang Bofen to lead his troops to help, presumably by now. ”

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Zhao Huan let out a long breath, sat down, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

In my heart, there is some regret and even more resentment.

If he hadn't listened to Li Gang's dissuasion and went to Yingtianfu or Xixing Guanzhong, why would he be so worried?

The hateful Li Boji, who is famous for him alone, makes me frightened here.

He kept saying that Kaifeng was solid.

Now that the Jin army has entered Kaifeng City, what is this solid and rock-solid?

In Zhao Huan's heart, he never wanted to stay in Kaifeng to supervise the war. However, Li Gang's insistence made Zhao Huan finally have to change his mind.

Now, being so frightened by Jin Jun, the anger hidden in his heart was suddenly stimulated.

But...... The little brother's piano teacher is not bad.

I have earned face for me several times, and even the little brother has stabilized his position because of him. After this battle is over, it is necessary to reward the good students.

"Someone!"

"Slaves and maids are ......"

"Go and find Geng Nanzhong, Wang Boyan and Tang Ke, and say...... I have something to discuss with the three of them. ”

"Yes."

The chamberlain hurriedly retreated, while Zhao Huan sat in the Jinluan Treasure Hall.

For a while, he gritted his teeth at Li Gang, and for a while, he was frightened by the strength of the Jin army.

Unconsciously, when the time had passed, just when Zhao Huan was in a state of mind and thinking wildly, he saw the chamberlain Zhang Danian hurriedly running in from outside, with a happy face: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty...... Your Majesty is blessed by heaven, and Chaoyangmen is a great victory! ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Huan was stunned for a moment, and then got up, "Chaoyangmen victory?" What do you mean by that? ”

"Come to Your Majesty to sit in the imperial city, and the soldiers will fight bravely.

Fang got good news, Chaoyangmen has been recaptured, killed nearly 2,000 thieves, and captured the chief son Puluhu ......"

Zhao Huan's face suddenly showed joy.

But the joy was fleeting, and he said in a deep voice: "I already know, you go down first." ”

As soon as Zhang Danian left, he saw Geng Nanzhong and Wang Boyan hurriedly walking into the main hall.

Without waiting for the three of them to speak, Zhao Huan said in a deep voice: "Fang got the news, Chaoyangmen won a great victory, killed nearly 2,000 thieves, and captured Puluhu, the son of the chieftain...... I think that the time is ripe for peace, so you will negotiate a charter and proceed as soon as possible. …,

However, this matter cannot be publicized, and it must be carried out in secret, which chills the hearts of the soldiers.

We have the Prudhu in our hands, which is just right to make peace and capital...... Well, let Zheng Wangzhi preside over this matter and solve it as soon as possible. ”

I thought that the Song army's victory at Chaoyangmen would make Zhao Huan insist on going his own way and fight to the death with the Jin army.

How do you know that you got such a result, which was somewhat unexpected by Geng Nanzhong and the others. Still, that's fine...... In the battle of Kaifeng, if the Song army really won a complete victory, it would be the credit of Li Gang and his ilk. If those clear streams stand firm in the court, then there will be no place for the peace faction in the future. Moreover, from Zhao Huan's words, Geng Nanzhong and the three of them also heard a trace of dissatisfaction with Li Gang. The three of them glanced at each other and saw a smile in each other's eyes......

Since His Majesty has been dissatisfied with Li Gang, the matter is ...... And that's it!

"Wang Qing?"

"The minister is here."

Zhao Huan hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Your clan brother, escape from the battle, abandon the city and leave, and be beheaded for the crime."

The victory of Chaoyangmen this time relied on the soldiers and horses of the front division of the palace to make Yuyin fight hard to ensure that Chaoyangmen did not lose ...... The matter of killing Wang Zhen has been revealed like this, so don't embarrass this person again. They are all pillars of the country, and it is better to work together. ”

Wang Boyan was stunned at first when he heard this, and then a touch of anger flashed on his face.

He lowered his head and said softly: "Wang Zhen deserves it, how dare the minister implicate others."

However, the minister heard that this battle of Chaoyangmen should not have been so dangerous. Yuyin's first battalion of soldiers and horses was less than 1,000 people...... Li Shangshu transferred two battalions of soldiers and horses from Chaoyangmen to Beicheng, so that Chaoyangmen's troops were insufficient, so this situation would occur. ”

As the emperor, Zhao Huan naturally couldn't know what was going on.

It seems that Yuyin's battalion has less than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and he doesn't know anything at all.

Hearing Wang Boyan say this, Zhao Huan frowned.

"How? Yu Yin is the former soldier and horse envoy of the palace, why are there only these soldiers and horses under his command? ”

"This ...... The minister heard that the soldiers and horses under the command of Yu have been insufficient, but the military department has been reluctant to supplement them. After Guoqiao Town, in order to protect the transfer of Mu Huogang, the Yu commander assigned nearly 700 people to be responsible for escorting grain and grass. However, after Commander Yu returned, these 700 people were detained in Yanfeng Cang and never sent back. ”

"Li Gang, why is this?"

Geng Nanzhong said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that Li Boji and others designed Yuyin and wanted to seize the Great Song Times Weekly?

This matter was later stopped because the prince joined, but because Li Boji's methods were too despicable, even his son couldn't see it, so he left without saying goodbye and went to Zhending to join the army alone. Thinking about it, Li Boji also held a grudge against Yu Yin because of this. ”

When Zhao Huan heard this, his face suddenly sank like water...... (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
