Jingkang Chapter A Lonely City and Ten Thousand Mountains Section 55 Tigers

Sticky Han led the team with his son Baoshan Sumire, and sent He Li, Wang Xiaodi and others back to the city from the west, and the defense of the west was the responsibility of Liu Yanqing's Shenwu Western Army, although the trenches and so on had not been completely repaired, but also in the south of Jinmingchi, Qionglinyuan set up a large camp, which was blocking between the Kaiyuan Gate and the Shuntian Gate. Kaiyuan Gate and Shuntian Gate are close to the Bianhe River and are one of the main gates of the west wall of Bianliang. Liu Yanqing's big camp guarded the intersection of the Bianhe River and the moat, with Jinmingchi to the north and a moat behind it. If the enemy is attacking, just defend due west and south.

Now, ten soldiers are standing in two rows at the gate of the big camp, and Liu Yanqing is waiting at the gate of the big tent. Xin Kangzong brought a small group of soldiers to meet at the gate of the camp, Xin Kangzong is the fifth brother of Xin Xingzong, who has been fighting in the Western Army since he was a teenager, and is very close to Wu Ge, Yao Youzhong and other children of the Western Army, and different from his brothers.

The Jin soldiers lined up left and right from the Xidaying, and then divided a group of men and horses to escort He Li, Wang Xiaodi and other envoys of about 100 people, slowly approaching, Baoshan Jin on the horse.

Looking at this team of golden soldiers from a distance, the figure is very strong, one by one helmet and armor, very spiritual, I think it is Baoshan Sumire's personal guard Mouke.

Baoshan Mijin led everyone to the gate of the camp, and did not dismount, and said arrogantly: "Dajin Shangguo sent back the envoy, and Han'er still didn't open the door to greet him?" ”

Xin Kangzong's face was gloomy, and he shouted: "You are not allowed to gallop in the barracks, please dismount your guests." ”

"It's so bold, I'm a kingdom, how can I get off the horse to meet Han'er, even your emperor, and I can only salute the messenger of my Dajin." When the Jin soldiers besieged Bianliang for the first time, the Jin envoy was also very rude when he saw Zhao Huan.

Xin Kangzong's face was pale, but he didn't let the door open, and his hand was already pressed on the handle of the knife.

At this time, a small colonel ran from the camp and shouted: "The captain has an order, please invite the golden envoy to enter the camp." ”

Baoshan was proud, and Xin Kangzong said: "Please ask the golden envoy to untie his blade." ”

Baoshan was furious and scolded loudly. Xin Kangzong held the hilt of the knife in his hand and refused to give in further.

Baoshan didn't see Liu Yanqing's new order coming, and his eyes rolled, so let's bring the gift in first. At this time, two men and women came over with a long package. Xin Kangzong thought it was a blade, so he stopped it and wanted to open it for search. Baoshan pretended to argue for a while, and then let Xin Kangzong open it.

Xin Kangzong opened it and asked, "I don't know what kind of valuable gift it is." ”

"Tiger skin." At this time, the golden soldiers slowly surrounded him.

At this time, Xin Kangzong had already asked Jun Han to open the package and unfold the tiger skin inside.

"Well, it's a tiger skin indeed." Baoshan suddenly shouted: "The tiger that just hit, the tiger, the tiger." ”

At this time, Baoshan's personal guards followed and shouted three times, "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! Qi Qi urged the horses, and the killing generals came up, and a personal soldier released a fireworks, and the golden soldiers in the distance also killed them.

Liu Yanqing's camp was in chaos, and the camp was broken in an instant.

A group of routed troops covered Liu Yanqing and retreated to the city gate, and the Jin soldiers followed the situation and killed the drawbridge.

Garrisoned on the city walls was Liu Guangguo, who ordered the gates to be closed.

Liu Yanqing arrived at the city gate and shouted, "Boy, open the city." ”

"The child did not dare to open the city, the art of war was cloudy, and he was born after death. Daddy, killing the enemy to serve the country is today. The child swept the battle for his father at the head of the city. ”

Liu Yanqing couldn't, so he led the rout and the Jin soldiers to kill together.

After learning the news of the Ximen Incident, Hu Yangeng was not surprised, he quickly put on the inner layer of soft leather armor, hung the Qingtang Monkey Armor on the deputy horse, and then trotted all the way to the big tent to find Wang Yu.

Wang Yu's expression was awe-inspiring and he asked, "How are you preparing for war?" ”

"The sons and daughters all know that they will fight sooner or later, and they are afraid of the sneak attack of the gold thieves, so they all sleep in battle jackets. You are also not allowed to go out during the day. ”

"Drumming, up the wall."

Knock knock knock...... After the three drums, the soldiers of the Shenwu Southern Army all rushed out of the tents from their draped clothes and stood in line on their respective battle positions.

The preparations in the camp were in an orderly manner, and Wang Yu ordered Hu Yangeng: "Shu Kang, quickly go and investigate the situation of Mu Huogang." "Mu Huogang is a hill in the southwest corner of Bianjing. On the Mu Camel Gang, the situation in Bianjing City can be seen at a glance. Wang Yu sent Xuanzan and Hao Siwen to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses and enough grain and grass to set up a village on the Mu camel gang. If Mu Huogang has always been in the hands of the Song army, and the grain and grass are endless, it will become a nail in the back of the Jin soldiers.

Mu Huogang was on the bank of the Cai River, so Hu Yangeng called Zhang Heng and asked him to take dozens of sailors and take two small boats to search along the banks of the Cai River. After Zhang Heng's order, in less than a quarter of an hour, he set off with six small boats.

"The task of the search team is to figure out the situation on both sides of the Cai River and try to avoid engaging the enemy. Collect the observed enemy positions and their movements, and report to the battalion. The situation was urgent, and Hu Yangeng blurted out the terms of another world. Fortunately, Zhang Heng roughly understood the meaning.

Six small boats depart from the Shan Lee Water Gate to the west of the south. On the second boat, Zhang Heng stood with his head held high, his eyes scanning the banks of the Cai River like an owl.

The fortified area of the Shenwu Southern Army extended for two miles along the banks of the Cai River, and then the ten miles of waterways were very calm. The imperial court had already enforced the Qingye order, and the trees around Bianjing were cut down and the houses were pulled down. There was no human figure in the wilderness.

They arrived all the way to Mu Camel Gang, and the Song soldiers of Mu Camel Gang were reinforcing the fortifications and were waiting for the battle.

Zhang Heng saw Xuanzan. He told Xuanzan that the Jin soldiers had begun to attack Bianjing. In addition to the south gate, the western, northern, and eastern gates were all attacked by the Jin soldiers. But the north and east gates because of the construction of the fortified area, the Song army has long been prepared, the Jin soldiers have not touched the first Chonghao ditch to be repulsed, unless the Jin people are willing to give up, life for life, otherwise do not want to touch the moat.

And the west side is a little bit bad. The Jin soldiers attacked suddenly, although Liu Guangguo killed his relatives in righteousness, locked his father out of the city gate, forced his father to fight to the death with the Jin people, and reluctantly killed the Jin people. However, the gold thieves have broken the camp of Qionglin Garden, and will destroy all the western defense system with Qionglin Yuan as the fulcrum. The west side of the moat can no longer be defended, and outside the west moat, there are no Song soldiers in formation, and the upper reaches of the Bianhe River have been occupied by Jin soldiers.

"The west side of the Bianhe River is extinct, in my opinion, the chief manager of Xie can't hold the lower reaches of the Bianhe River, if Bianjing is surrounded, the Cai River is the only way out."

"Bianjing's grain and straw all rely on the defense envoy."

"Please be in charge of Wang, Hudu Yuhou rest assured, praise the family, all in Bianjing. Praising but there is a breath of air, it will not cut off Cai He. ”

Zhang Hengyou took out a warrant, "Take Xuanzan as the southern inspection envoy, Chen Zhou Han Tao, Yingchang Peng Yan, listen to their moderation." ”

Zhang Heng stood on the Mou Camel Gang and looked in the direction of Bianjing, and he found that on the west bank of the Cai River, smoke and dust were billowing from the edge of the fortified area laid by the Shenwu Southern Army. Several black-gray plumes of smoke drifted high upward, probably because the Song army had lit the preset fence and used the wall of fire to temporarily block the impact of the Jin soldiers' iron cavalry.

On the Mu Camel Gang, Zhang Heng saw the outline of the Jin Bing formation, the flagpole raised high, representing the princes and Langjun's great command, tiger head and leopard tail. The trebuchets of the golden soldiers threw large stones onto the city or onto the fortified area, while the counterweight trebuchets on the city stormed down the five-pound balls of dry mud. Zhang Heng saw with his own eyes one of Jin Bing's floating stones, and between his breaths, he was smashed nearby by seven or eight mud balls, and the swimming stones and the Jin soldiers who manipulated the floating stones suddenly turned into powder.

Zhang Heng saw that groups of golden soldiers wearing leather hats and leather armor launched an attack on the fortified area with a scale of more than ten or twenty people, thirty or fifty people, one hundred and eighty people, and even the entire Mouke. When they launched their charge, a black mist seemed to form in the trench and fortress in front of them. When the Jin soldiers had gone through a lot of hardships to reach the edge of the fortified area, the Song soldiers who had been waiting for work jumped up from the trench, holding short knives, and fought with the Jin soldiers in armor. The bows and crossbows of the Song soldiers and the trebuchets on the city hit the rear of the Jin soldiers and cut off the support of the Jin soldiers.

Zhang Heng's blood boiled on the Mu Camel Gang, and his task of giving orders and observing the situation on the battlefield had been completed, and he wanted to return to the camp immediately and fight side by side with his comrades.

When Zhang Heng led the team back, he paid more attention to the situation on both sides of the Cai River. The southeast bank of the Cai River is the main position of the Shenwu Southern Army, and the depth of this main force is about two to three miles, and the longitudinal trenches used for various assaults even echo the medicinal properties of the reinforcements in the south.

On the northwest bank of the Cai River, it is also a fortified area of the Shenwu Southern Army, and further north, it is the defense area of Liu Yanqing's division of the Shenwu Western Army. However, because Liu Yanqing lost the camp of Qionglinyuan, the northwest bank of the Cai River became a long and narrow salient. The fortified area stretched out along the Cai River for two miles, and the flanks (north) of the two miles were all exposed to the attacks of the Jin soldiers.

But this is not a good thing for the Jin soldiers, if the Jin soldiers do not pull out the Cai River salient, then when the Jin soldiers attack the western city wall, their own two miles long flank, will be attacked by this salient.

By the afternoon, the battle had become clear, with ditches and forts (if not counting the fortified areas) to the north and east of Bianliang, and deep and vast fortified areas to the south. It is not a day's work for the golden soldiers to break through these three sides.

The camp of Qionglinyuan in the west has been broken, and the Jin soldiers can directly impact the moat and city walls, so it has naturally become the focus of the most easily broken city. However, if it is a direct attack on the western city wall, the left side of the Jin soldiers will be completely exposed in front of the Cai River salient.

The Jurchen aristocracy was still in the emerging stage, and the entire upper command structure was quick and efficient, and after a day of hard fighting, the Jin soldiers from the east and west all collected their troops and returned to the camp, while their leaders were concentrated in the big tent that could not be separated.

The nobles of the Jurchen invasion of the south, except for the Wanyan Yinshu Ke who guarded Hedong and the Wanyan Wushu who guarded Hebei, the others went to Bianjing City neatly.
