Wushu is the fourth son of Aguta, he has shown a unique ability since he was a child, bold and courageous, and has developed a good skill, especially the Jurchen horseman's riding and archery kung fu is very powerful, and the left and right bows are almost a hundred shots. It can be said that Yan Wushu has inherited almost all the advantages of his father Aguta, and is a very good figure among his descendants.

Although Wushu is outstanding among Aguta's sons, there is a very unfavorable factor affecting his future and destiny, and that is his identity. In the Jurchen tribe at that time, Aguta had a total of four wives who were later posthumously awarded the title of queen, the first was the Shengmu Empress Tang Kuo, who gave birth to Aguta's sister-in-law Wanyan Zongjun, the second was the Guangyi Empress Pei Yi, who gave birth to Aguta's eldest son Wanyan Zonggan, the third was Qinxian Empress Sushilie, gave birth to Aguta's second son Wanyan Zongwang, and the fourth was Xuanxian Empress Fusan, who gave birth to Aguta's fifth son Wanyan Zongfu.

Because Wushu's mother, Wugu Lun, is only the concubine of Aguta, and in terms of seniority, no matter how compared with Aguta's wives, she can't be compared with the previous four queens in terms of identity, so Wushu's status among Aguta's sons is not so conspicuous.

However, Wushu did not lose heart, but followed behind his eldest brothers diligently and resentfully, fighting in the north and south for the fate of the Jin country. Although he had always been very brave in the wars against Liao and Song, he was at best a vanguard or something like that, and the position of commander was generally held by a few of his uncles or elder brothers.

This appointment of Wushu as the commander of the capital to Luoyang can be said to have given him a chance to lead the troops alone, although Wushu knew that the Xijing army that Wushu Dao was about to face was a strong force, and they had defeated their father and brother many times. He had killed several brothers in the family, but he still cherished this rare opportunity. Embarked on the journey without hesitation.

Before leaving, the second brother Hanli told him not to be careless in the face of the Xijing army. The firearms in their hands were sharp and well-trained, and they were by no means comparable to the Song army that was defeated in a single fight. But Zong Han didn't care at all, he thought that although the Xijing army was powerful, but now that there is no King of Qin, it is a wolf pack that has lost its head wolf, and the brute bull who has lost its head is not terrible.

The words of the two elder brothers, Wushu listened to it with a smile, and he had his own ideas. According to the original plan to go south. After the Jin army conquered Bianjing, it turned to the northwest to attack Hedong, and attacked the remnants of Liao entrenched in Datong, and now everyone has eaten a belly, and the road can't walk, where is there still the heart to fight Hedong, and now the urgency is to quickly escort the prisoners and property home, and the occupation of Luoyang is just to protect the safety of the right flank when the army retreats.

Under this guiding ideology, Wushu knew very well that his main task was to cover the safe return of the army to the north. As long as the Xijing army is delayed to buy time for the withdrawal of the army, it is a victory, as for defeating them, it is necessary to act at the opportunity, he will never rashly touch that mold, so he carried a large number of catapults with him on this expedition. It was used to strengthen the defense against the sharp firearms of the Xijing army.

And to be able to have this sharp weapon, speaking of which, thanks to the Great Song Dynasty monarchs, they just sent all the weapons in the city out of the city with a glance. Among them, there are not only tens of thousands of pairs of black lacquer leather armor, but also 20,000 rockets made by Taizu during the Southern Tang Dynasty, and all kinds of artillery crossbows that Jin Bing has never seen. These weapons are enough to arm hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Among the Jurchen tribes besieging the city, except for the Jurchen soldiers, they had full armor. Many of the small tribes who came to help in the war had no armor at all, and their weapons were varied. To describe them as shabby, they all feel a little generous. Now it's different, not only did everyone put on their battle armor, but they also changed into knives and guns made by the Great Song Dynasty Weapons Supervisor, and they brought a lot of those stone cannons, which can be said to be armed to the teeth...

After leaving Kaifeng, Wushu led his troops all the way west, sweeping away the small resistance forces that had not yet yielded, and sent scouts to Luoyang to monitor the movements of the Xijing army. When they walked to the Yanshi, the reconnaissance cavalry reported that they found the Xijing army, they had already marched out of Shaanzhou, to Mianchi, there were many soldiers and horses stretching for more than ten miles, and they couldn't see the end, and they saw that the banner was Hezhong, Hedong, and the Xijing army, and the handsome banner was the Qin King Zhao Tan's, and was stepping up to Luoyang, as if to capture Luoyang.

Wushu was shocked, the Hedong and Hezhong armies were not terrible, their elite was almost lost, and there was not much combat effectiveness, and it was the Xijing army that made people worry. Wushu pondered for a moment, while sending people to report to the second marshal, so that they could prepare early; On the other hand, the army was urged to advance to seize Luoyang first and control the Heyang pontoon bridge.

Now it is the weather of March, although it is cold this year, but the Yellow River has also been civilized, the brigade march is of course the most convenient and fast to cross the bridge, there are three main pontoon bridges of the Yellow River in the Central Plains, Huazhou pontoon bridge, Shenggong bridge and Heyang bridge. Among them, the Heyang Bridge is the main road to the north of Luoyang, even if you don't take the pontoon bridge, you have to prevent the Song army from crossing the pontoon bridge and then chasing and killing and recapturing their second emperor, so only by controlling Luoyang can you keep the Heyang pontoon bridge...

Zhai Jin and Zhai Xing had also learned that the Jin army was coming to attack Luoyang, and while they were actively preparing for war, they scattered their wealth to recruit volunteers and soldiers to prepare to defend the city. When the people in the city heard that the Jin army was coming again, they remembered the brutality of the Jurchens when the city fell last time, and they were willing to help them defend the city, but they could only use more than 3,000 young and strong people, plus the original army was less than 5,000 people, and there was a shortage of weapons and arrows, so the two could only strengthen the city wall and prepare for a bloody battle.

What is worrying is that Luoyang's city defense is really worrying. The city of Luoyang was built in the Sui and Tang dynasties, was built in the first year of the Sui Dynasty, and has been used until this time, which has lasted for more than 500 years. Although Luoyang City maintains the pattern of the triple city of the Sui and Tang dynasties, from the height of the triple city, the palace city is four zhang and eight feet, the imperial city is three zhang and seven feet, and the outer city is only one zhang and eight feet, with the middle high and the outer low.

The most recent maintenance was during the reign of Renzong, but the original southern city wall was basically not built, but no facilities were built to defend against the enemy, in fact, it is far from the old view, which is not only a simplification of many buildings in the city in the Sui and Tang dynasties, but also the outer city is quite simple, fundamentally lacking defensive functions. Its function is mainly to show the royal majesty, which is not to mention that it cannot be compared with the city of Tokyo, even if it is a border town.

However, the outer city of Luoyang City is very vast, the circumference is more than 40 miles, thousands of soldiers are not even satisfied with the city wall, how to resist more than 20,000 Jurchens like wolves and tigers, Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin brothers can win Luoyang with more than 1,000 troops, it can be said that they are also stained with this light, but now it is their turn to defend the city to know the sufferings of the road, with these unbattled brave defense of the city The odds of victory are a few fools know the road.

The Zhai brothers also had the determination to die at this time, and they deployed most of their troops in the east city, which was the direction of the Jin army's attack, and the rest of the city could only arrange a small number of men and horses, planting flags all over the city, mobilizing the old and young in the city to scare the Jurchens. In the past two days, the Jin army's scouts and cavalry have come and gone more and more frequently, and even went to the city to observe, and they knew that the Jurchens were about to arrive!

"Under the control system, smoke and dust are rolling in the west of the city, and it seems that a large group of people is coming!" Zhai Jin, who was patrolling the city, suddenly received a message from the soldiers in Xicheng.

"What?!" Zhai Xing was taken aback, he was really afraid of something, "You immediately notify the deputy capital commander to dispatch troops and horses, once it is determined that it is the Jin army attacking, see Fengyan and immediately come to help!" He said to one of his relatives, and he hurried to Xicheng to inspect it.

Zhai Xing came to Xicheng quickly, and went up to the city wall to see the dust and smoke in the west, it was indeed the dust brought up by the horse's hooves, it seemed that there were no less than 10,000 people, but it was too far away, and he couldn't see the flag clearly, and his heart had sunk halfway, the Song army did not have such a large-scale cavalry, and most of the people who came were the Jin army.

"The guards in the city listen, we are subordinates of the King of Qin of the Great Song Dynasty, and we are here to rescue Bianjing, please open the city and let you go!" At this moment a small group of cavalry came to the city quickly, and an officer shouted at the city.

"Hmph, don't deceive the Sprinkle family, King Qin has already ascended to heaven as an immortal, how can he lead troops here again!" Zhai Xing was almost angry when he heard it, King Qin was still in the city's concept of immortality, claiming to be a subordinate of King Qin, isn't this talking nonsense with his eyes open!

"Hugh is talking nonsense, the King of Qin is in the middle of the army, and then he arrived, the matter of ascending to the immortal is just a rumor, the King of Qin has already arrived in the northwest, I heard that Bianjing was captured by the Jurchens, and the army was specially brought to the rescue!" The officers under the city reprimanded in a deep voice.

"King Qin in the northwest?!" Zhai Xing's mind was a little bit unturned, this thing was too weird, "What evidence do you have to prove that you are Song Jun, not Jin Jun!" He asked again.

"The pacification envoy Zhao Ren in the river is in the front army, and then he will arrive, and he will open the door quickly to greet him!" The officer who called the city replied.

But Zhai Xingzhi said that as long as the city gate was opened, it would definitely not be closed, of course he refused, and he would not open it no matter how the officer who called the city explained. A quarter of an hour later, the army had arrived in front of the city, Zhao Ren personally stepped forward to answer, and hoisted the credit basket to the city for inspection, he believed it, and immediately opened the city gate to greet him, with mixed feelings in his heart, there is such an army, Luoyang is saved...

At this moment, Zhao Ren was not surprised in the army, the Xijing army took advantage of Hedong to raise troops to aid Bianjing, but after all, their identities were embarrassing, although they were under the banner of the King of Qin, but all states and counties had built a concept of immortality, and they all knew that the King of Qin had passed away, how could they believe it. This can only be measured with the help of Zhao Ren's strength, after all, he is still a pacification envoy appointed by the Great Song Dynasty, and the procedures are complete.

So he let Zhao Ren lead the front army, and opened the road along the way, not only passed smoothly, but also had a strong appeal, after all, he was the right-hand man of the King of Qin, and the army with firearms behind was even more proof, but to see the prince, I'm sorry, the prince is sick, not suitable to see guests!

Zhao Ren entered the city, looked at the city defense of Luoyang, listened to the introduction of Zhai Xing's brothers, and frowned... (To be continued......)
