Chapter 114: Persuasion

It must be an important town in Hebei, but after the Jin army conquered twice, the city defense was basically destroyed, and the city was ten rooms and nine empty, but the city wall still existed and could be used to hold on, Zhao Ta arranged the edict, and ordered the wolf to defend the city with five thousand righteous troops summoned by the fifth brigade, the sixth brigade and Ma Kuo, to attract the main force of the Jin army, he led the dragon cavalry to fight on the periphery, and responded internally and externally, waiting for the opportunity to rescue the two emperors who traveled north.

The fifth brigade of the wolf general was expanded by the two commanders of the four brigades of the original Kryu army, and the brigade rate was the former brigade commander Zhuge Hong, who had led the troops to defend Yuanzhou, had rich experience in defending the city, and was familiar with the siege methods of the Jin army.

After Yan Xiyin led the heavy troops to arrive, he first persuaded him to surrender, but if he failed to persuade him to surrender, he carried out a fierce attack, but as soon as he heard the sound of gunfire, he knew that the Xijing army had arrived, and the defenders of the city were the main force, and it would be even more difficult to capture Zhending. But now there is no good way, so he ordered people to mobilize the captured stone cannons to the city, and bombarded the city wall day and night, trying to open the gap.

However, the Xijing army had seen the world and was not afraid at all, and destroyed all the stone cannons that approached with artillery fire. Wanyan Xiyin could only mobilize the craftsmen captured from Bianjing to make siege equipment and carry out a fierce attack, but as he expected, it still didn't work, so he could only report back to Han Li and ask him to escort Zhao Ji to persuade him to surrender...

Before dawn on the 26th, Liu Yanzong led Jin soldiers to break into Zhao Ji's station and escorted him away while he was still asleep. When Zhao Ji learned of his mission of persuasion, he wanted his always filial son King Jing and King Ji to accompany him, but this time he was politely rejected by them, and finally the twelfth son Xin Wang Zhao Zhi and the eighteenth son Xin Wang Zhao Zhen volunteered to accompany their father.

Han Li did not personally escort Zhao Ji to Zhending, and walked with him along the way, when he came to the vicinity of the deer. Suddenly, a Song army came to kill, and Han Li hurriedly commanded the Jin army to respond. Unexpectedly, this Song army was actually very brave. In his arranging and arranging his troops, he actually rushed to the Chinese army and arrived not far from them.

Zhao Ji also craned his neck to watch in the direction of the fierce battle. I saw that the leader was riding a yellow horse, with a long knife in his hand, and slashed five knights of the Jin Army, and then he was closer, and he saw clearly that the general was actually the sixth grandson of Taizong, from Yilang Zhao Buyou.

This Zhao Buyou is also considered to be an alternative in the clan, two years ago there was a riding and archery competition held in the clan, and each participant galloped seven times to shoot arrows, and the five arrows were qualified. Everyone thought that Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, who had always been good at riding and shooting, would win. Unexpectedly, the winner was Zhao Buyoude, and Zhao Shuxiang was second, and King Kang was third. Zhao Gou was not convinced and used a wooden sword competition with them, but he still lost to the two of them.

After the Jin army invaded the south, Zhao Buyou and Zhao Shu asked to join the war, according to the Song system, the clan was generally promoted according to the military attache system, in fact, there was no real position, and they could not lead the troops. A person like Zhao Ta, who can hold the title of civil official and preside over the government, really relies on Zhao Ji's favor and his own efforts. Plus it's just a coincidence.

As a result, Zhao Huan allowed Zhao Buyou, but did not allow Zhao Shuxiang to participate in the war, which actually meant not letting Zhao Tingmei's descendants take charge of the army. Zhao Buyou after the failure to defend the Yellow River. Entangled the remnants and continued to fight against gold in the two rivers. Today, he led his 3,000 men and horses to attack the Jin army. It's not that he got information about Zhao Ji here to come to the rescue, but it's a pure coincidence.

Zhao Ji wanted to shout, 'I'm here.' Come to the rescue! But I felt a cold breath on my neck, and when I turned around, I saw that there were already two knights of the Golden Army on both sides of the army, holding and monitoring with knives on the left and right, and the meaning was self-evident, if we wanted to save him, there was no way, even if we didn't want to, we would never let you take him away. Zhao Ji shrank his neck and swallowed the words back.

Han couldn't see the brave general, and personally waved his gun into battle, blocking Zhao Buyou, although he was short, but he was amazingly strong, and his martial arts were strong, and he and Zhao Buyou exchanged knives and guns, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from defeat. The strength of the Jin army is that the fighting spirit is very tenacious, and the inseparable personal soldiers are the elite of them, they suffered losses at the beginning of the sudden attack, but they were able to quickly regroup and enter the state, at this time the other armies also caught up to help the battle, Zhao Buyou's army was outnumbered, and could only withdraw from the battle after a big killing, and the Jin army did not dare to catch up.

Seeing Zhao Buyou defeated, he was very remorseful, if he had shouted at that time, he might have been able to escape, but the opportunity was fleeting, and now regret is useless, so he can only sigh alone. However, the Jin army took strict care of him, wrapping him in the army, this accident made Han Li not bluffed, if he lost Zhao Ji, the results of his trip would be less than half.

It was another day of marching, Zhao Ji was personally escorted to Zhending City by Han Li, the Jin army specially erected a purple umbrella, and wrote 'the Emperor Taishang of the Song Dynasty' as a symbol, telling him to ride a horse to the city to recruit the Song army, and the people in the city heard that the Emperor Taishang was coming, and they all stopped shooting, but they were lying behind the city wall and aimed at the Jin army.

"I am Emperor Daojun, now that the Song Kingdom is dead, I must go north to worship the Emperor of the Dajin Kingdom, you can return as soon as possible, so as not to poison the souls." Zhao Ji shouted helplessly at the city under the threat of knives and guns, and at this moment he didn't know what he felt in his heart, and it was estimated that his heart was like a knife.

Zhao Ji shouted several times, but no one in the city answered, Zhuge Hong looked down from the battlement, although he did not have the opportunity to see the honor of the emperor, but as the prince's former personal guard, but saw the portrait of the royal face hanging on the palace hall, at that time, the prince greeted the portrait of the portrait every day, and he also remembered the appearance of the prince's father. He saw that it was correct, but how to deal with it put Zhuge Hong in a dilemma.

"You are blind, we are not the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Zhongxing Army of Datong in Xijing, what are you yelling at such an old man, we don't know him!" Zhuge Hong thought about it for a long time, and it was not good for him to be so cautious, so he could only be disrespectful, pretending not to know and not to say it, and he even came to death and did not admit it.

"You are not the Song army, since the Xijing army is coming to attack the Great Song Dynasty, what are you doing?" Han Li was not choked, thinking about it, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has nothing to do with the Xijing Army, why do people care if he is dead or alive.

"Hehe, isn't the Great Song Dynasty already destroyed, why do you want to offend Song only to say!" Zhuge Hong said with a smile.

"In that case, then why are you enemies of our Dajin?" Han Li was not confused, and reasoned with them.

"The Great Song Dynasty is about to die, this is the borderless land, we occupy it, but you send troops to attack what do you want, and it is also to avenge you for instigating the Tatars to invade my border!" Zhuge Hong said, he observed the form of the city as he spoke, thinking if he could find an opportunity to save the prince's father... (To be continued......)
