When the Great Liang took Hebei, the Western Army, under the heavy reward of the Song Dynasty, mustered up the courage to exterminate the remnants of Manichaeism.

Zhao Ji was already impatient, if it weren't for Tong Guan, Su Yuanjing and others who thought that if they didn't clear Manichaeism, the court would be unstable, Zhao Ji would have already ordered the Western Army to be a teacher.

Therefore, after the Western Army exterminated the last Manichaean army with more soldiers and horses, Zhao Ji ordered the Western Army and Tong Guan to go to Kansai together, and then ordered 100,000 Western troops to recapture Tokyo.

After Liang and others were taught from Hebei, Chen Da, Hua Rong, Xu Guanzhong, Lu Junyi, Wen Da, Suo Chao, the pioneer Suo Chao, the Shengshui general Shan Tingjue, and the Shenhuo general Wei Dingguo led 10,000 veterans, 30,000 recruits, and 10,000 reorganized forbidden troops from Hebei prefectures to attack Hedong.

The Hebei Forbidden Army wanted to defend Liao, and its drills were stronger than those of the Shandong Forbidden Army, and there were many generals in various state capitals, so Shi Jin asked them to pick some elite soldiers.

Shi Jin is not afraid of their nepotism, after all, he is going to the battlefield to see the truth.

After the flooding of the Song-Liao coalition army, several state capitals near the Yellow River in the east of the river were subordinated to Daliang.

As soon as the soldiers and horses of Daliang moved, several state capitals sandwiched between Daliang and Tianhu fell again.

Although Tian Hu rebelled earlier, Liangshan has a better reputation, and many people who should have voted for Tian Hu have voted for Liang, but they have not made contributions yet, and no one has recommended them, so many fierce generals are still not famous.

Xu Guanzhong traveled to Hedong two years ago, and drew a map of Hedong with troops, where to camp, where to ambush, where to fight, all under control.

In addition, Tian Hu is brutal. And Shi Jin is known as a benevolent name, and the people of Hedong have turned against each other.

In less than a month, Daliang exterminated Tian Hu.

After Tian Hu was defeated a few times. He wanted to return to Daliang, but he wanted Daliang to crown him as the king of Jin.

Shi Jin naturally would not crown a grass coward who harmed the people as king, but only promised to exempt Tian Hu and others from their crimes.

Tian Hu was unwilling to be a rich man, and finally beheaded to show the public.

If it weren't for the fact that Hedong was surrounded by thousands of mountains and the march was slower, Hedong would not be more difficult to level than Hebei.

After exterminating Tian Hu, Chen Da and others also temporarily stopped attacking. Because Tong Guan mobilized 100,000 Western troops in Kansai to prepare to attack Tokyo.

If Daliang repels Tong Guanxi's army, the will to resist in several state capitals in the northeast of Hedong will naturally be weakened a lot, otherwise they will attack Fuzhou, Fengzhou, and Linzhou, where the Zhejia army is stationed. Even if the girder can win, it will have to pay a big price.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the Zhe family has settled in Fuzhou.

The Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty all allowed the Zhe clan to hold the hereditary official position of Fuzhou, and it can be said that Fuzhou was the fief of the Zhe family.

Fuzhou, Fengzhou, and Linzhou are located at the junction of the Song Dynasty, Western Xia, and Liao. Fold the family to martial arts heirloom. There have been famous generals throughout the ages.

Tong Guan exterminated Fang La, and led his troops south to make many contributions.

When the class was in charge, the Foldable Storage Department still made a detour to Shaanxi, so as to avoid the Fuzhou where the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang returned.

Because of the Great Liang attack on Hedong, this time Tong Guan mobilized all the western armies, and the Zhe family did not send troops again, but guarded Fuzhou, Fengzhou, and Linzhou.

Da Liang didn't want to collide with the Zhejia army.

When Tong Guan led 100,000 Western troops to the city of Tokyo. When I looked at Tokyo with a deep river wall and high walls, I also wanted to cry without tears.

Tokyo's moat is several feet deep. It is almost impossible to dig tunnels from outside the city.

Digging tunnels from the city, the girder is used in this method, naturally very guarded, there are people listening to the movement of the underground day and night, it is impossible for people to dig a tunnel from the city again.

Without digging tunnels, the gunpowder of the Song Dynasty could not collapse the city wall more than five feet and nine feet thick.

The western army could only climb the city wall more than ten zhang high and fight for the city's head.

Tong Guan also thought about the easy first and then the difficult, attacking the Hedong, Hebei, and Shandong stolen by the Great Liang, exterminating the soldiers and horses scattered in various places by the Great Liang, and then attacking the lonely city of Tokyo.

But Zhao Ji eats a trench and grows wise, and after fighting Fangla, the Western Army will not be able to fight again, and after fighting Hedong, Hebei, and Shandong, if you want the Western Army to attack Tokyo, it is only afraid that it is impossible.

Zhao Ji could not tolerate the long-term loss of Tokyo, and in his mind, the Western Army would inevitably be able to take Tokyo, but it was just a matter of how many casualties there were.

In order to recapture Tokyo, he could bear as many casualties as he could, so Zhao Ji asked Tong Guan to lead the Western Army to attack Tokyo directly.

Fortunately, Daliang did not want to be besieged by the Song Dynasty for a long time, and did not prevent the Song army from filling the moat.

There is enough food and grass in the city, but millions of people are besieged in the city, and vegetables and meat are cut off.

Fortunately, Tokyo has always been mainly charcoal-burning, and after Tong Guan gathered the Western Army, Daliang transported all the coal hoarded outside the city into the city, and the city was not unable to make fires.

The magnates of the Song Dynasty who were beheaded when the Great Liang was established are still vivid, and no one in the city dared to take the opportunity to raise prices, but the real shortage of things will inevitably rise. Therefore, Shi Jin did not want to confront the Western Army for a long time, but wanted to kill and injure the Western Army and repel the Western Army.

In order to resist the attack of the Western Army, Shi Jin summoned a group of new soldiers from Shandong, with a total of 150,000 new and old soldiers in the city, but the soldiers and horses of Daliang could not fight with the experienced Western Army in the field, so they could only rely on defending the city to kill and injure.

Although he knew that the girder firearms could blow up the siege equipment, after filling in the moat, Tong Guan still couldn't help but let the Western army tentatively attack the city.

Towering ladder carts were rapidly approaching under the city walls, and the soldiers who pushed them were all hidden in the armored ladder carts.

To Tong Guan's surprise, Da Liang did not destroy the ladder carts with firearms, but allowed the ladder carts to lean under the city wall and let the secondary ladder go to the head of the city.

When the western army scrambled to climb the city, the girder began to attack.

Waves of arrows rained down, causing many Western troops who were charging forward to fall in the middle.

Climbing to the ladder, waiting for them are also arrows, rolling wood, and stones, and few Western troops can climb the city wall more than ten zhang high.

Occasionally, a few people would go up, and before they could gain a foothold, the surging soldiers and horses would kill them.

After a day of fighting, the Western army suffered thousands of casualties and did not achieve any results.

Tong Guan seemed to have an opportunity, so he ordered the craftsmen to make a large number of ladders overnight, and the next day more Western troops joined the capture of the city.

More and more western troops climbed to the top of the city, and a few brave and good soldiers blocked the Liang soldiers at the head of the city, so that the western army behind rushed to the head of the city one after another, but they were soon killed by the fierce generals of the big beams all over the city.

On the first day of the fierce battle, the casualties of the Western Army were much greater than on the first day, with nearly 10,000 casualties.

The fierce fighting made the generals of the Western Army forget the firearms of Daliang, and on the third day, more Yunti and the Western Army entered the fight.

There are more and more soldiers of the Western Army who have climbed to the top of the city, and some brave and good generals of the Western Army can't help but go into battle to capture the city in person.

Under the impact of the soldiers of the Western Army, who had experienced a hundred battles, the head of the city was lost one after another.

When Tong Guan excitedly pressed more Western troops up, the beam firearm that had not appeared appeared again and blew up the ladder.

The isolated western army at the head of the city was also killed one after another. (To be continued......)
