On the tenth day of the first month of the first year of Jingkang, most of the Jin army crossed the river and approached the city of Kaifeng.

After Yan Zongwang commanded 30,000 soldiers and horses, and set up camp in Mutuogang, he immediately summoned Guo Yaoshi to inquire about the battle situation.

The battle, which was supposed to be overwhelming, suddenly became stalemate.

The reason for this is precisely that Yu Yin's two-day resistance battle in Guoqiao Town made the originally arrogant Jurchens become a little timid. In particular, the palm thunder used by Yu Yin in Guoqiao Town made the Jurchens feel even more frightened. As soon as Wanyan Zongwang arrived in Kaifeng, he inquired about the situation in this regard, hoping to get the most accurate information and battle report.

"Your Highness, the southerners are blazing, and if they attack strongly, they will suffer heavy losses."

After last night's confrontation, Pharmacist Guo was no longer as confident as before, and his words revealed a little hesitation.

Wanyan Zongwang's face sank, "What did General Guo say?"

Since ancient times, there is no reason for immortals to march and fight...... Now we are alone, and there is no way back. We have heard that there was a warrior in the southerners, in the face of the enemy's pursuit, he pierced the warship, smashed the rice pot, and then mustered up the courage to fight a bloody battle with the opponent before winning a big victory. Today, we will follow the example of that warrior and fight a decisive battle with the southerners. ”

Pharmacist Guo was a little confused at first, but later he understood what Yan Zongwang meant.

Isn't he talking about the story of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who broke the kettle and sank the boat at the end of the Qin Dynasty? At that time, the eldest prince only knew a rough idea, but he didn't understand this allusion. It's no wonder that the birth of a girl really haunted between the white mountains and black waters. How can you know too many Han allusions? It is Wanyan Zongwang. I can't read too many words.

After Yan Zongwang finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, and then asked, "General Guo, can there be news from the city?" ”

"Huh?"

"Then who is the general of Guoqiao Town?

Also, where did the firearms they use come from? ”

Guo Yaoshi hurriedly said: "Back to His Highness, the lord of Guoqiao Town has already found out, and he is a soldier and horse envoy in front of the palace, named Yuyin. It is said that this person has a magical color. In two years, he has become a celebrity in Kaifeng Mansion from a market. However, the firearm he used was not very clear to him, and he had asked the general about it. There is no information about such firearms. ”

After speaking, Pharmacist Guo hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you wait a little longer?" I can't say there's news today. ”

Wanyan Sect heard this, and his eyes flashed.

He lingered in the tent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Give us the order and prepare to attack the city."

"Your Highness......"

Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand, "General Guo is also careful, in fact, the news from the fine work has already told the answer...... Since even the general didn't know the origin of this firearm, it must have been that Yuyin didn't know where to find it. It was not popularized in the Song army. In other words, the number of such firearms will not be too large to be popularized in the army...... What we are worried about is that this kind of firearm has been popularized among the Song army. Since it is not popular, but you are afraid that he will be a Raush? ”

Pharmacist Guo nodded again and again, "What His Highness said is extremely true. ”

"Hehe, General Guo is also concerned about chaos, and I can't blame you.

It's this Yuyin, but we're very interested...... Before we set out on the expedition, we heard about this person. Although this person is in the market, he has real skills. Not only did he have profound attainments in the piano art, but he also single-handedly created the Great Song Times Weekly, and he talked about my Dajin military affairs many times, and there was something to say. Quite insightful. Dr. Xiao had intended to recruit this person before, but he didn't have a chance.

I also said that this guy is a helpless guy. If you don't want to be in the military, you don't have to wait for it...... He defeated our family in Guoqiao Town, although it was only a small victory, but it impressed our family. The two battles first delayed our marching speed and boosted Kaifeng's morale. This person should not be underestimated...... However, I heard that the southerners did not care about him, and even persecuted him. If such a good man can serve our family, it is also a good thing. Spread the order of our family, so that the city will carefully investigate the place where Yuyin is stationed. If there is a chance, our family would like to meet this Yuyin in person. ”…,

Pharmacist Guo hurriedly said, "Your Highness is wise. ”

But in his heart, he also had curiosity about Yu Yin, and even a little jealous.

He dedicated Yanshan Mansion to Wanyan Zongwang and made suggestions and fought bravely, but he couldn't compare to Wanyan Zongwang's evaluation of Yuyin.

This made Pharmacist Guo feel in his heart, how could he be convinced.

I am even more determined to show my means in the next war.

That's right, now that the Jin army has become a lone army, even if it can't defeat Kaifeng, it is good to make the old Zhao official's family afraid.

If you are not afraid of the old Zhao official's family, then the Jin army will be in danger.

Don't look at Zongwang, he can't read a few words, and he hasn't read too many books, but this skill is indeed real. His decision is in line with the strategy of going to war in the Art of War. The forcible attack on Kaifeng is fake, but deterring the old Zhao official's family is real......

On the one hand, > was jealous of Yu Yin, and on the other hand, he was a little more afraid and admired for Wanyan Zongwang.

Pharmacist Guo took the order and left, and only Wanyan Zongwang was left in the big tent.

After lingering in the tent for a moment, he suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Someone! ”

"The slave seeks a good tiger, and the master Hou commands."

Wanyan Zongwang pondered for a moment and said softly, "I have an order to make that red jade fox known.

Mou Lianghu, dare to sneak into the city and deliver news for me? ”

This Mou Liang Tiger is not the Mou Liang Tiger killed by Yu Yin in Mobei.

In fact, the Jurchens lacked writing, and their names overlapped in many ways. There is Wanyan and the good tiger, there is the Shan man and the good tiger, and Pei Shan is the good tiger and so on. There are many people with different surnames, but overlapping names. And at this moment, the Mou Lianghu in the big tent is indeed a member of the Wanyan family, and he is also a very capable person around Wanyan Zongwang, who is bold and careful, and has strong martial arts.

"A slave will live up to the trust of his master."

Mou Lianghu prostrate on the ground and said loudly.

Wanyan Zong looked and said, "In this way, you come here with your ears." ”

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

At noon, the Jin army headed for Kaifeng Mansion. An attack was launched.

Pharmacist Guo personally supervised the battle. Ordered Cao Rong, Meng'an Mijin Da Tart Buye, and Meng'an Ba Jin Wanyan Huonu to each lead their headquarters soldiers and horses, defend themselves against the Zhou Gate, Fengqiu Gate and Suzuo Gate, and launch a fierce attack on Kaifeng. This time, Guo Yaoshi did not carry out any tentative attacks, which caught the Kaifeng defenders by surprise. The Weizhou Gate was almost broken by the big tart Buye, but fortunately, the guards of the Weizhou Gate reacted in time and resisted the Jurchen attack, so that the Weizhou Gate turned from danger to safety and did not break the city.

The big tart is not wild, and the Bohai people are there. A descendant of the Bohai royal family, Jin Taizu is a lover general.

This man is resourceful, but he lacks a bit of resilience. In the battle of Weizhou Gate, Ruo Da Tart Buye continued to attack. If you can't say it, you will be able to break through the Weizhou Gate. However, after the Song army fought back, Da Tart Buye saw the heavy losses of the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, and he actually had the intention of cowardly fighting, and ordered the troops to be collected, and then attacked after resting, missing the best opportunity to break the city.

And Wanyan Living Girl, is the son of Wanyan Lou, who has always been known for her bravery, and is even liked by Wanyan Zongwang.

He mainly attacked the Fengqiu Gate, which put great pressure on the Fengqiu Gate.

Fortunately, Li Gang personally went to the city to supervise the battle. The Song army was able to ensure that the Fengqiu Gate was not lost.

In Guo Yaoshi's opinion, the weakest of the three soldiers and horses is Cao Rong. But to his surprise, when the two Jin armies of Da Tart Buye and Wanyan Huonu were still entangled with the Song army, Cao Rong's troops actually broke through the sour date gate and broke into the city.

Fortunately, Li Gang got the news in time and sent his entourage to Suozaomen to support.

Li Gang's entourage, a total of 1,200 people, all of them were composed of marksmen with superb marksmanship.

After these people arrived at the Sujube Gate, they immediately suppressed the Jin soldiers with a rain of arrows. Cao Rong under the rain of arrows of the archers of the Song army. He was hit by three arrows and almost died. Subsequently, when the Jin army reinforcements arrived, Cao Rong's troops had been driven out of the sour date gate by the Song army, and the gap was blocked.

Such a war situation. It was really unexpected by Pharmacist Guo. …,

Seeing that the great opportunity was missed, he only hated Pharmacist Guo and beat his chest. Regrets.

He forgot that Cao Rong and Song Jun had a grudge against their sons, and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to establish meritorious deeds, almost fighting for his life.

As a result, the least favored team took the lead in breaking through the gate of Kaifeng.

It's a pity that Guo Yaoshi's reinforcements were not timely enough, which made Cao Rong's achievements fall short, and he was seriously injured and unconscious.

Seeing that Cao Rong could no longer fight, Guo Yaoshi had to change generals, and Meng'an Xiaojin finished Yan Alu to make up for the battle of Suojube Gate.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, for a whole day, half of Kaifeng City was almost soaked in blood. Although the Song army relied on strong bows and crossbows and fortified cities and high walls to resist, the Jin army was too fierce and almost fearless to attack.

The thunderbolts roared, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Even Zhao Huan, who was in the palace, could also feel the bloody aura that permeated the air.

His face was as white as paper, Zhao Huan boarded the palace tower of Yanfu Palace, and listened to the shouting and killing sound from the direction of the sour jujube gate, and his heart was beating for a while.

However, the crown prince Zhao Chen showed extraordinary courage, although his face was pale, but he was able to straighten his waist and stand on top of the city tower.

"Your Majesty, I just got the battle report, the battle ahead is fierce, the thieves attack fiercely, and the defenders have suffered heavy losses."

Wang Boyan stood beside Zhao Huan and said softly: "If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that it will be more than lucky." At the beginning, the minister did not agree to fight with the thief like this, and it was not beneficial to both sides. However, Li Boji fought the main battle, and he really used the lives of his sons and daughters to gain fame.

The minister heard that now in Kaifeng City, he is full of praise for Li Boji, but His Majesty stayed in Tokyo to supervise the war, but no one mentioned it. ”

Zhao Huan chuckled in his heart, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Without waiting for him to speak, he suddenly heard an immature voice beside him say, "Why did Master Wang say that!" Now Kaifeng is working together to resist the thieves, Li Boji personally went to the city to supervise the battle, Wang Bachelor did not think about sharing the worries of the official family, but said such words, what is his intention? ”

Wang Boyan was stunned, turned his head to look, but saw that the crown prince Zhao Chen had an angry look on his face, clenched his fists and shouted loudly.

There was no reason in his heart, Wang Boyan was just about to speak, but he heard Zhao Huan say: "How can the little brother talk and not apologize to Mr. Wang?" ”

"I'm not wrong, why apologize?"

Zhao Chen stiffened his neck and said loudly, but Zhao Huan was so angry that his face turned red.

"This national event, it is your turn to comment on this kid, come to someone, take the prince back to the palace, no one can go out without a word."

"Father's ......"

"Not yet."

The chamberlain Zhang Danian hurriedly walked over and persuaded softly: "Don't talk anymore, Your Majesty is also worried about the war today." That's why I'm so grumpy. The crown prince stays here. It can only make His Majesty even more worried, why don't you go back and ask someone to come forward? ”

The voice was very small, and only Zhao Chen could hear it.

Although he was a little reluctant, Zhao Chen also knew that the king's order could not be violated.

No matter how much Zhao Huan loves him, he must obey the holy order at this time......

Pouting, Zhao Chen glared at Wang Boyan fiercely, and retreated from the palace tower with Zhang Danian.

The disdain and hatred in his eyes made Wang Boyan feel a little furious...... This is the Prince! How did the heir of the future official family offend the crown prince? If he ascends the throne one day. I'm afraid that it will be bad for myself.

Zhao Huan was twenty-six years old, so he didn't need to worry about this.

But the problem is that with the lessons of Zhezong, Wang Boyan has to take precautions.

How can the crown prince get rid of his resentment?

That's a big deal...... If not, Zhao Chen's hostility towards him. I'm afraid of the future...... That is, he will no longer be there by then, but the heirs will inevitably be affected. No, this has to be done with caution, otherwise it will be a nuisance. …,

Just when Wang Boyan was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Zhao Huan call his name.

"Wang Qing, you said that now you have a chance to negotiate peace with the thief?"

"This ......"

Wang Boyan rolled his eyes and said softly: "Your Majesty, peace talks are not impossible, after all, the thieves are going south." The grain road is difficult to continue, and I am afraid it will not last long. Previously, His Majesty had ordered the Quartet to envoy King Qin, and he wanted to arrive soon.

The key is to find a suitable opportunity to negotiate peace with the thieves.

Now that Li Boji is supervising the war, he might as well let him fight a dozen, and first rub the thief's sharpness, and then he will have the opportunity to negotiate peace with the thief. ”

Wang Boyan also knew that if Li Gang was prevented from resisting the War of Resistance at this time, once the news came out, he would inevitably be scolded by the Kaifeng Mansion. A lesson from the past in the early days. The memory is still fresh, so Wang Boyan is also very careful.

If Li Gang wins, it will be difficult for Wang Boyan and other peace factions to gain a foothold in the court.

Let's let you work hard in front of you, figure out the holy will at your own time, and then this first merit will still be counted on your own head......

Wang Boyan's thoughts. Zhao Huan is not very clear.

However, he didn't want to fight to the death. If you have the opportunity to negotiate peace with the Jurchens, it is also a good choice.

Wang Boyan is right, we must choose a good time.

"Wang Qing, if peace talks are opened, who will go?"

The implication is to let Wang Boyan volunteer.

But Wang Boyan categorically refused to be this budding bird because of what happened in the middle of the day. His eyes rolled and he said softly: "According to the minister's opinion, the pre-military plan makes Zheng Wangzhi's eloquence outstanding, his eloquence is unparalleled, and he has the courage to take on this important task." ”

"Well, I also feel that Zheng Wangzhi is very suitable."

Zhao Huan nodded, and stopped talking about this issue.

Ahead, there were constant battle reports that the Song army had repelled the Jin soldiers after half a day of bloody fighting.

For a while, the whole city cheered, but Zhao Huan felt a lack of interest. Waving his hand to signal Wang Boyan, Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke and others to retreat, he walked down from the city tower, stepped on the bloody sun, and walked towards the Gongchen Gate.

Well, this battle should indeed be valued by peace!

Although Li Gang is loyal and upright, he is not a person who can be trusted......

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

If Li Gang knew that he was fighting desperately in the Sour Zao Gate, just to negotiate peace in exchange for a bargaining chip, I don't know what he would think.

However, for now, the retreat of the golden soldier filled his heart with joy.

In the half-day fierce battle, the Jin soldiers suffered about 2,000 casualties, while the Song army, although relying on the high walls of the fortified city, still suffered more than twice as many casualties as the Jin army, nearly 5,000 people.

This is also the first time that Kaifeng has been baptized by fire since Song Taizu built the capital of Kaifeng.

The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and the blood flowed into a river, staining the water of the Bianhe River red......

Chaoyangmen was not attacked by the Jin army.

It is indeed because of the lack of Jurchen troops. If the Western Route Army arrived, the Jin Army would be able to achieve a real siege.

However, because the Western Route Army was blocked in Taiyuan, Wanyan Zongwang could only attack from the north and east.

In this way, Chaoyangmen is also temporarily peaceful.

Yu Yintun was stationed in Fanjiagang and also paid attention to the battle situation in the north of Kaifeng. Hearing that the Jin army had withdrawn, he was overjoyed, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"San Lang, why are you so worried?"

However, he soon found that Zhu Mengshu did not show a relaxed look, but his expression was a little dignified.

Zhu Meng frowned and said: "Today, I am defending the army, I have the advantage of ordnance, and I have the high walls of the fortified city to rely on, but the casualties are twice as many as the thieves, but I am afraid that it is not a good thing." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"I feel that the intention of the thieves to attack the city today is not to break the city, but to deter."

Yu Yin was stunned and asked, "Shock? Who to deter? ”…,

Zhu Mengshu took a deep breath and did not answer Yu Yin's words, but his eyes looked in the direction of the Imperial City.

Yu Yin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said softly: "San Lang is ...... say"

"Xiao Yi should know that the official family's desire to fight to the death is not strong, and he even wants to evacuate Tokyo several times, go to Guanzhong or go south to Yingtianfu. If it weren't for Li Shangshu's efforts to stop him, he was afraid that the official family would leave this morning. The captives showed such combat power, and the defenders suffered such heavy casualties, whether the official family would be shaken by this is still uncertain. ”

Yu Yin, it's silent!

Speaking of this Huizong father and son, it is indeed a bit strange.

Huizong didn't want to fight, Qinzong didn't want to fight, although the father and son were full of contradictions, but one thing was very similar, that is, they didn't want to fight to the death.

The country is gone, what use are you as an emperor?

Such a simple truth, even the peddlers and pawns in the Kaifeng market understand it, but the two fathers and sons can't see it clearly.

All along, Yu Yin couldn't figure out the reason for this.

Now Zhu Meng said that it mentioned it, but it made Yu Yin feel a trace of worry in his heart.

What did the siege of Kaifeng look like in history? He doesn't remember very well! However, he knew that as long as this Jin army was contained under Kaifeng City, and as soon as the reinforcements arrived, they could be completely annihilated, and the Jurchens would inevitably be weak. At least, they could no longer be as arrogant as before, and they didn't dare to use troops with the Great Song casually.

However, this Jin army seems to have retreated in its entirety......

Could it be that the officials are really afraid? Or is there something else in it?

For a while, Yu Yin felt a little headache, closed his eyes and patted his forehead, and was about to talk to Zhu Meng, but saw Chen Dong panting and hurriedly walking.

"Xiao Yi, Fang got the news that the defenders of Suozao Gate suffered heavy losses, and Li Shangshu ordered that troops and horses should be transferred from Chaoyangmen." (To be continued.)
