Evacuation and siege of cities was a common method in warfare, and was used by both the nomadic peoples, who were considered ferocious barbarians, and the peoples of the Central Plains, who claimed to represent civilization. And this is also considered the most inhumane act, thousands of people who have no ability to resist are used as cannon fodder, driven by swords and guns, rushing to the city, advancing is death, retreating is also death, leaving the last drop of blood in despair.

There is a more cruel way, that is, to the defender's relatives, friends, and clansmen as a precursor to attack the city, which can be said to be the most unjustified trampling on human nature, both sides have to kill their relatives to save their lives, and the end is often to kill their relatives with the defenders of the city or can not bear this psychological torment and surrender, so there is no such inhumane thing in the world, but also a huge challenge to human nature.

The Jurchens often sacrificed this magic weapon when they encountered insurmountable cities in the founding of the People's Republic of China and the subsequent wars, and Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Zhending all caused hundreds of Central Plains people to lose their relatives and the hands of their clansmen. In the Song army, especially in the new army formed by the emperor, this kind of thing never happened, and it was strictly forbidden by the emperor. The reinforcements that the emperor said today are a group of captured people of the Jin Kingdom, and their relatives are at the head of the city, especially the unarmed women and children under the city, who have no combat effectiveness, how can it not make people wonder.

"Niangniang, it has become an iron law in the army to strictly prohibit the expulsion of people and siege the city, and today's behavior is inappropriate, right?" Gao Zhong didn't understand the imperial concubine's explanation, and still said dissatisfied.

"Did you see me send troops away? I just sent them to the city to reunite with their loved ones. Zhao Xin said with an innocent look in the blink.

"This ...... Mother, where do these people come from? Gao Zhong was indeed asked, they were still hundreds of steps away from the city, and they did not send troops to threaten. Just looking at it from a distance, his own question just now was a little abrupt. Although the imperial concubine is familiar with everyone, her status is already different. Obviously rude, he hurriedly changed the subject.

"The Jurchens were strong and clear, but only the young and strong men were taken away, but those old and weak women and children were abandoned in the wilderness and left to fend for themselves. But these people insisted on going into the city to be reunited with their relatives, so I sent them over. Zhao Xinyan said.

"The last general thought that His Majesty had driven troops to loot and use them for siege. It's a big misunderstanding. Gao Zhong said, "But why did His Majesty tell me that the city will be broken, can it be broken like this?" ”

"Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum. Gao Shuai only needs to wait and see what happens, don't worry, and withdraw all the troops he leads! Zhao Xin didn't blame, just smiled and asked him to withdraw the general.

"Yes, the last general obeys!" Gao Zhong didn't believe it, he waved his troops and fought for several days, and he knew too much about the fierceness of these people. How could you be deceived by the emperor's little trick, but the sky is falling, and the emperor is a big man, and at this moment, the next emotional drama in Weizhou City has officially started, so let's watch the play myself......

After the excitement of meeting loved ones. The people in the city and the city are gradually calming down, and now a very real problem is in front of them, what to do next? It is to let people from outside the city in. Or let the people outside the city leave and continue to wander. Seeing that the relatives outside the city have been without food and clothing for many days, they are wandering around. also have to hide from the raids of the rebel army, how can the people in the city be at ease. Of course, it is hoped that the city lord can take in his relatives.

However, the idea of the city lord of Weizhou is different from everyone else. First of all, based on the overall situation, these people are all old and weak and unable to participate in the defense of the city, and they also have to consume food, which increases the supply pressure of the city, and no one can know when the war will end and how long the Song army will besiege the city; Who knows if this is a trick of the Song army, once the city gate is opened, the Song army takes the opportunity to attack the city, and it will be a big matter if the city is lost by surprise; Moreover, the Song army will not take the opportunity to attack the city, but it will secretly lay spies in it, and it will suddenly be difficult to steal the city gate to lead the enemy into the city, which will also attract disaster.

It is said that there is nothing wrong with the city lord of Weizhou thinking about it in this way, but he forgot that Ding Zhuang, who was in a hurry to enter the fort, was tens of thousands, and his own defenders were only ten thousand. And these days of fighting Ding Zhuang has become the main force, they are not only responsible for transporting the materials needed to defend the city, rescue the wounded and other auxiliary work, but also in the case of increasing casualties of the defenders to go to the city to defend against the enemy, becoming an important force in the front-line battle. But the reason why these people fought against the Song army without fear of life and death was mainly because their relatives were outcast, and only by defeating the enemy could they recover their homes and reunite their relatives.

On one side were the relatives who were crying miserably, and on the other hand, there were the city lords who were full of voices, which made these Ding Zhuang fall into hesitation. No matter how they pleaded, the city lord was still unmoved, insisting on refusing to open the city to let people from outside the city enter, and in the society of the Jin State with tribes as the main body, the state was just a concept, and the emperor was very far away from these small people, and the tribes and relatives were their sustenance and dependence. Especially from the cries of their relatives in the city, they knew that it was the Song people who gave them help and sent them here to be regarded as enemies, and the idea of the contrast between the two was inevitably reversed.

After begging again and again to no avail, the wandering Ding Zhuang were angry, but the city he guarded at the cost of his life turned away his relatives and pushed them to the side of the enemy, so what was the point of fighting by himself. So the angry Ding Zhuang broke out, they knew that only by surrendering the city could they save their families, and they didn't know who made the first move in the chaos, and the unsuspecting city lord became a ghost in the blink of an eye. Ding Zhuang expelled the soldiers defending the city, opened the city gate to welcome the Song army into the city, and the city of Weizhou changed hands in a blink of an eye.

When Gao Zhong and the others led the army into the city, it was still like in a dream, and the city that he had failed to conquer for many days, the emperor relied on a group of helpless old and weak women and children to take it lightly, and this kind of divine turn also made them still in a dream. In fact, Zhao Ta's trick is enough damage, although he did not use force to drive the people to attack the city, but he made full use of human nature, people's inseparable family affection and the natural opposition between the two classes, which stimulated the mutiny in disguise!

…………

Zhao Ta outwitted Weizhou, and Ma Weishun captured Xiangzhou, but the loyal army ran into trouble all the way in Pennsylvania, because its city was located on the southwest high cliff at the confluence of the Eaten River and the Yinma River and entered the mixed river, the confluence of the water surface was several miles wide, and the terrain of the city site was extremely dangerous, which was the throat of the river, and it was difficult to start without the cooperation of the navy. Although it was not possible to communicate with the Western Route Army by water for a while, after capturing Xiangzhou, he obtained the right to control the lower reaches of the Tongjiang River, blocking the connection between Huanglongfu and Huiningfu.

Although the pre-war plan could not be completed as scheduled, it did not affect the attack on Huanglongfu, Zhao Ta and Gao Zhong discussed, and ordered Ma Wei to lead the Dengzhou Navy Division to reinforce the loyal and brave army to continue the attack on Pennzhou, and the Leopard Wing Army stayed in Xiangzhou to block the reinforcements from the direction of Shangjing, and he couldn't wait to move to Huanglongfu with the army.

It is only forty miles from Weizhou to Huanglongfu, and it can be reached in one day at the speed of a normal march, but there are many castles scattered in between, the large ones are several miles in radius, and the small ones are only Lixu. These forts are generally built on the main road of communication, garrisoned by Meng'an and Mouke of Tuntian, most of them are Jurchens and Bohai people who live here, and they are also vested interests after the establishment of the Jin State, and they naturally hate the invading Song army, and the resistance is becoming more and more fierce, so that the Song army has to uproot them one by one, so as not to suffer the enemy on their backs, until the end of July, when the Song army arrived at the city of Jeju.

The Song army was ten miles away from the city, and the emperor camped in the Chinese army. Then the detective rode around, and soon sent the situation to the emperor's desk, the city of Huanglongfu is larger, the square city is seven miles around, the city wall is rammed earth structure, the wall base is ten zhang wide, the four walls each have a city gate, all are located in the middle of each city wall, there are corner towers in the four corners of the city wall, there is a moat outside the wall, there are 10,000 households in it, the defenders are 50,000, and the details in the city are unknown.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Ta had just finished eating, when he heard the alarm bell in the camp ringing, and someone entered the tent to report that a golden army from outside the camp had come to challenge, and they had deployed Gao Zhong to lead the troops out of the camp to meet the enemy. In the past, when the Jin army learned of the arrival of the Song army, they often closed the city gate and put on a posture of not going out of the city even if they were killed, but today they took the initiative to challenge it. Is it still Zhao Ta, everyone couldn't persuade them, so they had to lead a brigade of guards to escort Lei Zhenshan, the commander of the Guards, and accompany the emperor out of the camp.

By the time Zhao Tan arrived, the Song army had already finished arranging, and the tiger head on the flag fluttering high indicated that it was the Song army and the tiger general who was facing today. However, as soon as the emperor arrived, they had to retreat to the second, and even the favored handsome banner could only take a back seat, replaced with the apricot yellow banner representing the emperor, and the Chinese army erected a yellow umbrella to show his identity. He had just established his footing, and before he could see the formation of the Jin army clearly, the drums on the opposite side were loud, and a cavalry army of the Jin army rushed out of the formation, wanting to take advantage of the Song army's unstable foothold and the formation was not successful to pick up a bargain. Seeing this, Gao Zhong immediately sent troops to meet him.

For a while, the drums on the battlefield shook the sky, the sound of hooves was like thunder, Zhao Ta looked at the battlefield with a telescope, and saw that the Jin army that rushed into battle was about 1,000 people, coming in a wild goose, led by a general wearing black iron armor, wearing long hair, holding a spear in his hand, and the flag behind him was written on Jeju Road Wanhu 'Wanyan'. The Song army fought in the Tiger General Brigade, which was still the best at the stone wall formation, and was lined up in four columns with battalions as a unit to hedge against the enemy.

The soldiers of both armies tried their best to increase the speed ......of their horses, and after entering the range of the guns, the dragoons raised their guns and fired in succession, hoping to disrupt the enemy's formation. The Jin army that rushed in front was shot and fell off his horse from time to time, and the main general of the Jin army did not seem to be affected in the slightest, he lowered his body, clamped his legs around the belly of the horse, and leaned forward with a spear in one hand, and stabbed forward fiercely at the moment of contact......
