Chapter 202: Serial Set

After a day of fierce fighting, the gates of Yanjing City were broken one by one, and the cavalry of the Song army who entered the city quickly attacked along the main roads and secondary roads in the city, and after fierce battles, the entire city was divided into several areas. After a day of fierce street fighting, most of the Jin army was killed or surrendered, and only two parts were left that had not been completely captured. One is that part of the Jin army led by Wanyan Zongfu defended the imperial city and fought to the death; The other part was the Jin army led by Yinshuke was compressed to the southeast corner of the city, relying on the temples and dense shops and houses to deal with the Song army.

Street fighting has been the last way for every attacking unit to engage in street fighting, which is not only heavy in casualties but also time-consuming, and the ubiquitous enemy and cold arrows make it difficult to guard against. Now that the reinforcements of Wushu have entered Yanjing, it is only two days away from the city, but the battle in the city is not over, and Zhao Tan can't help but be anxious, and he also came to Yanjing City with Zong Ze's footsteps. After several days of fierce fighting, all the armies were also tired.

"Your Majesty, most of the city has been occupied, and only the Imperial City and the Tongmafang area are still garrisoned by enemy troops, and they refuse to surrender!" Zhao Ta's drive was temporarily arranged in the pagoda temple, and Zhao Yong and other lords would come immediately.

"How many troops do they have?" Zhao asked.

"Your Majesty, there are Zongfu's guards in the imperial city, with about 3,000 troops, and now the siege has been breached, and the imperial city has been surrounded; After breaking the door, Yinshu can counterattack and fail, leading the defeated army to retreat into the copper horse workshop, scattered in it to guard, the cavalry broke into several times because the road is narrow, the army can not be deployed, all in vain! Zhao Yong said.

"What about the casualties?" Zhao Ta nodded and asked again.

"Your Majesty, the main force of the siege on the northern road is that the wolf will suffer a large loss, and the leopard will suffer a slight loss. According to preliminary statistics, more than 500 people were killed in battle, and about 1,000 were seriously injured! Zhao Lian said first.

"Your Majesty. The Tiger General of the Southern Route Army suffered heavy casualties in the main attack, but the casualties were mainly heavy soldiers, especially his engineer battalion, which took the lead in breaking through the city. more than half of the casualties; The Tiger Wing Army suffered 300 casualties, and its strength was not damaged; The dragon general was responsible for intercepting and killing the Jin army out of the city because he was free from the city, but he never engaged in the battle, and there was no loss! Zhao Yong said with some shame.

"The baggage brigade suffered the heaviest casualties, how did you fight this battle?" Zhao Tan asked strangely.

“…… That's the way it is, no one thought that Yanjing City would be pulled out by a group of baggage soldiers! Zhao Yong could only briefly explain the destruction of the city.

"Well, his courage is commendable, and Lou Qianju has made great contributions!" Zhao Ta also said with some emotion after hearing this, the fact that the baggage soldiers were able to rush forward at a critical moment showed that their combat qualities were excellent. The style is excellent, "Zhao Yong, your department has fought many battles since crossing the river, and has not been fully rested, can you still fight!" ”

"Your Majesty, there is no problem, although the various departments are damaged, but they have not injured their muscles and bones, and the reserves of the various armies have not yet been put into battle. Solve the battle in just one more day! Zhao Yong heard that he thought that the emperor had failed to take the two places, questioned the combat effectiveness of his own department, and hurriedly said.

"That's not what you mean, you're too careful!" Zhao Ta waved his hand and said. "Chang Chao's department reported that yesterday's Wushu Department had passed the Juyong Pass to return to Yanjing, and this morning its department had taken the south exit. Controlled the ditch and cut off the retreat of the Wushu Department. Our next battle is to take out the returning Jin army, and we have no time to rest. Can you continue to fight in your current state? ”

"Your Majesty, there is no problem!" Zhao Yong thought for a while and said, the Jin army's return speed was two days earlier than Ji Lu's plan, and the battle here has not yet ended, so he has to prepare for a new battle.

"Your Majesty, we have no problem, you give the order!" Xu Biao patted his chest and said, "What is this bit of work, back then, we fought Brother Cha, chased the Xia army from Fengzhou to Lingzhou, and fought almost every day, where is there time to rest, is it not the same to beat them to the ground!" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, although we fought Yanjing from Pingzhou, we have run away every day, and there has been no fierce battle, and now that our strength is not damaged, we will hand over the annihilation of the Wushu Department to us!" Zhao Lian said.

"Brother Lian, what do you mean? Do you want to eat alone, this is not possible! Zhao Yong was anxious when he heard this, regardless of the emperor's presence, he said loudly, and Xu Biao, Wang Heng and several other generals also shouted.

"Brother Yong, why did you bite Lu Dongbin, didn't I feel sorry for you? Let you rest well in the city, so that you can fight again! Not to be outdone, Zhao Lian said...

"Okay, some battles are waiting for you to fight, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it then!" Seeing that the two sides were blushing and their necks were thick, Zhao Ta snorted coldly and said, seeing that the boss was unhappy, everyone hurriedly stopped, "There is news from Liaodong, the reinforcements outside the Jin Army Pass have also set off, and it won't take long to arrive, it is also a piece of fat, but you have to swallow it in your mouth first." "I am very pleased with everyone's desire to fight Zhao Ta, the good days of the past two years have not worn out their fighting spirit and fighting spirit.

Although the morale of the various units was high, Zhao Ta could not ignore the state of the troops, so he adjusted his deployment again and prepared for a big battle. He divided the troops into two divisions, and with the dragon generals, leopard generals and tiger wing troops who maintained relatively complete combat effectiveness as the main force, they could withdraw from the battle and turn to rest, replenish ammunition and materials, and be led by Zhao Yong to prepare to meet the Wushu Division. The wolf general (owes a brigade) and the tiger will continue to clear the remnants of the city, and put into battle the three brigades of the Guards, a new force that has not participated in the battle, under the command of Zhao Lian, and turned into reserve after the battle.

Give the order, and the three armies move in unison. The wolf general took over the Tiger Wing Army to attack the Yinshu Ke Division, and in order to end the battle as soon as possible, Zhao Ta strengthened the first artillery brigade to the wolf general. The next day, the attack began, the Song army saluted first and then soldiers, Liu Biao first gave a kind word to the Jin army in the Tongma Fang, but after being refused, dozens of cannons and wolf generals' large and small artillery launched a devastating bombardment of the enemy's core area of less than 200 paces in length and width. In an instant, the houses and walls on which the Jin army relied collapsed one after another, and the entire position fell into a sea of fire and was blown to the ground.

After the artillery bombardment that lasted for half an hour, the general attack began, and the wolves poured up the brigades from all directions, and the 1st Guards Brigade rushed into the enemy's core position like a sharp knife, cutting down the flag and scattering the headquarters of the Jin Army, and the Jin Army, which had lost its command, fled north, but there was still a way out. The two armies fought until noon, the battle was over, more than 3,000 enemies were captured, countless weapons and armor were captured, and the silver art could be wounded by stray bullets.

………

Besides, as soon as the Wushu leader came out of Xishan, he received a report from the rout of Nankou that 'the Song army attacked Nankou, the defenders were scattered, and Juyong Pass was lost'. Now that the last channel connecting Yanjing to the outside world has also been cut off, Wushu's head 'buzzed' as if it was about to explode, but he had to make a choice immediately, whether to save Yanjing or send troops to recapture Juyong Pass.

At this life-and-death juncture, Wushu was confused, hesitating in every way, and couldn't make up his mind for a while, just when he hesitated, the scout who went out of Yanjing City to reconnoiter reported: The Song army has broken through Yanjing City, but the guns and cannons in the city are fierce, obviously the two armies are still fighting, and they have not completely fallen, and they also found that some Song troops have gone out of the city to assemble outside the city, and it seems that they have found a large group of men and horses who have returned to help and are ready to fight.

"Soldiers enter Yanjing!" Wushu finally made a decision, he also knew that the Dao Juyong Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, since the Song army had already planned, he was afraid that it would be difficult to capture it for a while, and at that time the Song army would attack Yanjing City in a big way, and he would suffer bad luck if he suffered the enemy on his back. And now Yanjing City looks like the outer city is lost, but there are palace cities and imperial cities, after the city is broken, the army can retreat into it and deal with the Song army, and it will not fall for a while. If you succeed, you still have a foothold in Yanjing, you can stick to it and wait for help, and you have a chance to turn the tables.

The Wushu led the army to march quickly, and there were still thirty miles away from Yanjing City, and you could see the billowing smoke clouds that vaguely rose in the direction of Yanjing City, and the Song army scouts kept appearing, but they only dared to look at it from a distance, and did not dare to approach. The sound of gunfire could already be heard twenty miles closer to the city, and the Song army's scouts and cavalry came and went more frequently, and some squad scouts who had no time to avoid even crashed into the Jin army's marching brigade. Moving forward, a small group of troops of the Song army began to come forward to harass and block, but under the strict orders of Wushu, the speed of the march of the brigade did not slow, and the road was opened with iron horses, and they all rushed through, getting rid of the Song army and galloping to help.

At noon, the Song army's blocking troops became more and more, but Wushu found that these Song army's tactics were disorganized, there were many numbers, and there was a lack of unified command, and the soldiers were tired on their faces, and there were blood stains on their battle armors.

Wushu was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that the Song army's attack on Yanjing City was not smooth, and the resistance in the city was still stubborn, which couldn't help but lift his depressed mood. But Wushu did not act recklessly to send troops to chase, but there was a sense of cowardice near the city, slowing down the pace and marching forward in a group, he is really a little afraid in his heart now, since the beginning of the war, he seems to be extremely brave, conquering the east and west, and the Song army fled everywhere he went, but the end was often passive everywhere, losing the city and losing the land, as if falling into a chain of sets and struggling out.

Ten miles away from the city, the Song army's resistance began to become tenacious, and the organization gradually became tighter, advancing and retreating, taking turns to attack and harass, but the Wushu was extremely excited, these Song troops were all black armor, and the black skulls they wore were embroidered with a blood-dripping skeleton, which was the dress of Zhao Er's guards. This can't help but show that Zhao Er is nearby, and the troops are tense, the city is deadlocked, and he can't be withdrawn, so he has to put his best strength into the battlefield to help...
