Jingkang Chapter A Lonely City and Ten Thousand Mountains Section 26 Seize wealth

The golden soldiers guarding the siege equipment have been overwhelmed by the impact of the people, not to mention the enemy soldiers in the armor of the golden soldiers mixed with the people. When Wang Yu came over, although there were still a few Jin soldiers fighting in front of the siege equipment, they could resist there. Wang Yujun quickly dispersed the defenders, scattered the brimstone and other arsonist materials on the equipment, and set it on fire, which was originally wooden, and then the fire suddenly burst onto it. Wang Yu was relieved, and suddenly the soldiers around him shouted: "There are enemy troops," Wang Yu looked in the direction of his soldiers' fingers, and sure enough, an enemy army came from the side of the battlefield, obviously trying to attack his own side from the side. His subordinates asked in a loud voice, "Marshal, do you want to gather the brothers to fight for them?" ”

Wang Yu carefully looked at the burning equipment and the approaching Jin soldiers, and said: "No need, Mingjin let the brothers withdraw, we have few soldiers, we can't fight hard, and the siege equipment is at least three or four percent unusable, and the war will be long in the future, so there is no need to hurt the brothers more." ”

Jin Bing saw the enemy retreat in front of Ming Jin, and originally wanted to find an opportunity to kill a few backward ones, but only to see that the Song army retreated first was not chaotic, and the latter was not cowardly, it was really no chance to take advantage of it, and after a long time of hearing Wang Yu's brave name, he only scored soldiers to fight the equipment, and sat back to watch the Song army return to the city.

But Wanyan sticky Han this way of the Jin soldiers, there are more than 120,000 people, Wang Yu only has 3,000 soldiers, no matter how brave Wang Yu is, Xiaochang military, can not fight forty of them, after a few days of fighting, the Jin soldiers forced the Song army to not go out of the city, and surrounded the Longde Mansion. A tragic siege comparable to Taiyuan began.

Wanyan Muhan laid thousands of siege equipment under the city of Longde: there were thirty leaning stones (trebuchets), and there were thousands of stone caves, goose cars, partial bridges, cloud ladders, and fire ladders.

Every time the city is attacked, the golden soldiers first line up the 30 stones, the drums sound, the stones are fired together, the bucket-shaped stones fly into the city, hit the city tower, as long as the bricks and trees of the city tower are hit, they will be broken. Fortunately, the king opened the curtain with a fence, and filled it with chaff bags under the curtain to cover the walls and towers. If the stone is hit on the curtain, even if it will cause damage to the castle tower, it can be repaired in time.

The threat of sticky rare wandering stones was not great, so they dispatched cave carts to fill the trenches and attack the city. The cave chariot is the product of a combination of siege engines and cowhide houses: a wooden house made of thick trees, with wheels under the wooden house, and a wooden roof covered with iron sheets and cowhides. The men in iron armor pushed them forward under the roof, so that the bows and arrows of the city and the smaller stones and logs could not hurt the people under the roof.

With the sound of war drums, the Jin soldiers pushed more than 50 Dongzi cars to connect one after another, forming a long convoy, advancing to the city, every time they arrived in front of the trench of the Song army, the convoy stopped, and then passed firewood and grass along the shelter of the convoy, filled the trench, and the Dongzi convoy moved forward again.

The Song army at the head of the city sparsely released arrows, and it seemed that there was nothing they could do about this cave car. The Dongzi convoy finally advanced to the city wall, and there was a trench next to the city wall, and the Jin soldiers filled the trench with firewood and grass according to the old method. And there was water in the trench, the half-wet firewood and grass burned, the black smoke was filled, the Song army arranged a blower behind the city gate, the black smoke was blown away, for a time its flames were in the sky, a drum sounded in the city, the gate of Longde was wide open, and the front rushed out, and half of the cave cars were destroyed.

Wanyan Sticky Han attacked for a few days, and on October 30, Wanyan Lou led his subordinates to the city of Longde. Seeing that Sticky Han's attack on Lund was frustrated, Wanyan Huonu couldn't help but show off her merits in capturing Pingyang. Sticky Han's subordinate Lazy River Sigong sneered: "Why haven't you even beaten Fenzhou." ”

If the words are not speculative, the two of them will do it. Wanyan Lou Room and Wanyan Muhan respectively called their subordinates to divide Longde City into east and west halves, and the two attacked from the east and west respectively, and guarded against reinforcements from the east and west respectively.

The next day, thirty stones continued to throw stones at the city, and countless goose carts were erected on all sides of the city walls, and Lund was besieged. The goose cart is a ladder erected on a wide car, because its shape resembles a goose, hence the name goose cart. Nearly 1,000 goose carts were erected at the same time, which was spectacular. Although there were many goose carts, it was impossible to push them to the city walls at the same time.

When they arrived near the city wall of Longde, they flattened the suspension bridge on the top of the goose cart and put it on the city wall.

The Song army had already prepared and arranged pikemen at the junction of the goose cart suspension bridge to prevent the Jin soldiers from ascending the city. In their rear, a high swing was moved, but the place where the swing was used to sit was hung horizontally with a rope with a rolling log, Song Jun shouted, pulled the swing up in the opposite direction, a golden drum sounded, the Song army blocked at the entrance of the city wall quickly escaped, the swing swung down, the rope tied to the rolling log was cut by the Song army, and the huge rolling log flew straight towards the goose cart and hit the top of the goose cart heavily.

Although the design of the goose cart is good, it is not without weaknesses: its center of gravity is too high, and Wang Yu is a general, so he has already taught the whole army how to deal with the goose cart. When the Jin Bing goose cart approached the city wall, Song Jun released a huge rolling log and hit the goose cart directly. If you're lucky, you'll knock down the goose cart. Even if the shot is not so accurate, it can sweep away the golden soldiers on the top platform of the goose cart.

There was also a rope tied to the rolling log, and after breaking the goose cart and falling to the ground, Song Jun pulled the rolling log back.

After a day of competition between the two armies, Wanyan Lou knew that Lund was as difficult to fight as Taiyuan, thinking that Taiyuan had been defended for nine months, and Wanyan Lou's head was big.

This time, it was impossible to stay under Longde City for nine months, the Jin soldiers had a total of 160,000 troops in the Western Route Army, and there were many cavalry, and the grassland tribes that followed did not have the concept of grain and grass first, so they all relied on the Jurchen headquarters for supplies, or robbery on the spot. But Hedong has been fighting for two years, and it is difficult to say how much there is still to grab.

After discussing with Wan Yan Muhan, the two decided to divide their forces and sweep around. Jiangzhou, Zezhou, Huaizhou and other places south of Longde, as well as the surrounding military counties of these state cities, the Jin army was not poisoned when it went south for the first time, and there was still money and food. So he ordered Yan Hulu to take Zezhou, Pu Jianu to take Huaizhou, and Gu Xun to take Jiangzhou.

Four days ago, that is, on October 28 of the first year of Jingkang, Li Bichuan, the prefect of Jiangzhou, the doctor of Chaosan, and the transfer envoy of Hedong, was dressed in a small hat in green clothes, sitting on a small sedan chair, and dozens of soldiers carried eight large boxes, quietly went out of the city. It turned out that Li Bichuan heard that the Jin soldiers had besieged Lund, and he was afraid, so he packed up his belongings and fled secretly.

Li Bichuan and his entourage set off early in the morning, traveled until noon, arrived at an unnamed dirt slope, the place called Huang Ni Gang by the locals, and saw a wooden shed in the leeward place under the hill, and a small flag hung on the eaves of the house, "Huang Ni Gang Drunk Rest", there was a wine vat in the door, and there was a stove for warming wine.

Li Bichuan poked his head out of the sedan chair: "Mr. Gongsun, it's been a long time, it's cold, how about drinking a glass of wine to warm up." ”

This Taoist priest's name is Gongsun Sheng, and he said: "The soldiers are carrying the burden and traveling, and the hands and feet are only frozen, and if you see the mansion drinking, I am afraid that it will cause a mutiny." ”

Li Bichuan thought for a while: "Then take a rest here, and everyone will enjoy a glass of wine." ”

"Please! Pour also! The last picture before Li Bichuan got drunk was the wine vendor smiling at him.

Gongsun Sheng and the others were drunk with Li Bichuan and the soldiers, so he dragged them all to the house with a few people who sold wine, and moved the stove to the house. Gongsun Sheng read the words: "Li Dafu, I won't let you freeze to death, and I am worthy of you calling me a half-immortal." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the house and said to a red-haired leader in front of him: "Liu Tang, first ask someone to move the box back to the cottage, and I will go to Jiangzhou to get the three million guan later." Expand the lintel of my sect, at this time. "Jiangzhou is where the Hedong Transshipment Division is located, and there are about three million Hedong Caosi gold, silver, brocade, silk and grain.

It turned out that Gongsun Sheng was a Taoist priest of Chunyang Palace in Mianshan, and Liu Tang was a person from Lucheng (under the jurisdiction of Longde Mansion) and a believer of Gongsun Sheng.

Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang took more than 100 believers and rushed to Jiangzhou, where they saw the flames of Jiangzhou soaring into the sky from a distance. It turned out that the prefect fled, and Xu Changyan also abandoned the city and fled, and the defeated soldiers who retreated from Taiyuan, Weisheng Army, Pingyang and other places in Jiangzhou at that time were four sets, and saw the city guards fleeing, so the defeated soldiers and the defenders of the city set fire to themselves.

It's just different from another time and space, Hu Yangeng knew that Jiangzhou had 600,000 Guan military rations and salaries pre-deposited by Tong Guan, so he sent Xuanzan and Shi Xingfang to receive it, and Zhang Heng also brought another order from Hu Yangeng. Xuanzan and Shi Xingfang were in Jiangzhou, and they were not idle for a day, they had been recruiting defeated soldiers, and there were already more than 9,000 people under their command. Moreover, Xuanzan had already moved the 600,000 Guan under the jurisdiction of Tong Guan Xuanfu Division to his station. Yesterday I just learned that Pingyang had fallen, and today the prefect was sentenced to flee, and the chaos broke out. Xuanzan said: "This Jiangzhou can't be defended." He sent Shi Xingfang to quickly take people to the warehouse of the Transshipment Division, and he could grab as many as he could.

Shi Xingfang led people to the transfer division and found that the defeated soldiers were densely packed around the door of the warehouse. Shi Xingfang stood up from his horse and looked into the crowd, only to see Shi Bingyi, the city's first minister, standing at the door of the warehouse with a sword, the sword in his hand pointing outward, the sword was dripping with blood, and there were several soldiers beside him.

It turned out that the rebels ran to rob the Cao Division, and the officials all ran away, only Shi Bingyi, the city of Yiwu, shouted: "Those who vainly disturb the national economy (tax) will be beheaded all over the house!" "Stay at the door of the warehouse. The routs didn't dare to move lightly for a while, and a few recklessly rushed to the warehouse, and were stabbed down by Shi Bingyi with a sword. Fortunately, the civil officials of the Song Dynasty were very powerful, and Shi Bingyi was righteous and awe-inspiring, and the soldiers and men did not dare to make a move with the civilian officials for a while.
