On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the Jin soldiers were outside the west city wall, with great fanfare and extraordinary noise, and the Jin soldiers pushed a person with five flowers tied up to the front of the battle, and shouted in unison: "Hu Zhiru is here, and the Song army is annihilated." ”

The generals who defended the city all went to the city to watch, and some of them recognized Hu Zhiru and said, "Sure enough, it's him." ”

Uncle Zhang got the news at night and discussed with everyone: "I sent Hu Zhiru to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to recruit reinforcements, but for some reason he came back so quickly, and he was caught by the gold thief." ”

"Xianggong sent a total of four governors to ask for help. The only ones who could really come in such a short time were Gao Shengfei, the head of the host province, and Gao Gongchun, the head of the south province. But the gold thief only caught Hu Zhiru. Thinking about it, Mr. Hu was caught by a gold thief in the middle of the road. If the golden thief catches the other three chiefs, he will show off in front of the battle. Since only Mr. Hu came out, I want to come to the other three ways for the time being, and don't worry. ”

"The old man knows it, but the news of Mr. Hu's arrest has been spread throughout the city by the military and Han people, but I'm afraid that people are already panicking."

Everyone was silent. In any case, the commander of the reinforcements all the way was captured, and the blow to the morale of the defending army was too great.

After a while, Hu Yangeng said: "It's almost the Shangyuan Festival." Why don't you ask the official family to inspect the four cities on the Shangyuan Festival and comfort the soldiers. At the same time, fireworks were set off to let the whole city and people outside the city see it, and my morale did not fall. ”

"Okay, since you want to do it, you have to do it lively, and reward the meritorious soldiers who defend the city."

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shangyuan Festival, Zhao Huan began his second tour of the city. On this day he was to go to all four walls. Every time Zhao Huan arrived in a city, he would give rewards, one golden bowl for each meritorious person, and a thick felt cloth scarf that the queen led the palace ladies to make. In addition, the first batch of winter clothes has arrived, although they are all old clothes purchased from the quality store with silver money, but they can also protect against the cold.

"The snow is unsolved, the soldiers are exposed, I don't dare to be in vain, I am fortunate to be on the four walls, and I will reward the soldiers. The queen's palace people made cotton shirts with thousands of collars, which have been sent to the front of the army! The palace is still continuing. Make sure that the three armies can be coerced and enthusiastically go to the enemy, and I am comforted! "The emperor said that the palace is still being renewed, and since there is the first batch of winter clothes, the follow-up winter clothes will definitely be sent.

The city was overjoyed, and the golden soldiers under the city saw it from afar, and Pegasus told the commander. Hu Libu, Mu Han and others were quite angry, and immediately set up a large army to attack the city.

At this time, Zhao Huan was inspecting the western city wall, Liu Yanqing advised Zhao Huan to retreat quickly, and Zhao Huan said: "General Zhenguan will break the enemy." ”

The emperor was on the battlefield, and the morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, and after a day of fighting, the Jin soldiers were repelled on all sides. However, only the west of the city suffered the most damage, and the remaining three sides were protected by trenches, and it was extremely difficult for the Jin soldiers to charge into the trenches. The west Jin soldiers are directly attacking the city wall, after these days, the Jin soldiers have also added a lot of siege equipment, almost attacking the city, fortunately He Qingyan, Xu Ning and others fought, after all, the city wall was not lost.

At night, fireworks are set off in Bianliang City, and bright bouquets bloom in the night sky, which can be seen by people dozens of miles away.

The people of Bianliang talked a lot.

"The gold thieves are besieging the city, and they still have the heart to set off fireworks, and the officials really don't know how to be in a hurry."

"The gold thieves are besieging the city, and they still have the heart to set off fireworks, it seems that the officials and ministers are all in the chest, and the gold thieves will be broken soon."

Originally, the fireworks in Bianliang were just a lively meaning, but in the early hours of the morning, fireworks began to be set off outside the city and in the south. The fireworks were set off quickly and densely, and the inner chamberlain Mu ran to the front of the dormitory and shouted: "Great joy, great joy, reinforcements from outside the city are coming." ”

When Zhao Huan heard the news, he quickly got up and watched, and when he was happy, he didn't care about Tong Mu disturbing the holy car, but asked Tong Mu to go to the Privy Council to ask for clarification.

Hu Yangeng was explaining to Zhang Shuye in the Privy Council: he had already asked Hu Yanzhuo to make an agreement with Han Tao Peng Xi of Yingchang that when fireworks were released in Bianliang City, no matter what the situation, Yingchang would also set off fireworks on a mound outside the city to show the echo of reinforcements.

Seeing the fireworks outside the city, Hu Yangeng's heart was also a big stone fell to the ground, it seems that Yingchang has not yet fallen, and the road to the south is still smooth. If necessary, as long as the Jin soldiers besiege a few camps in the south with all their might, they can restore contact with the periphery.

But the information reported to Zhang Shuye and the emperor can be slightly exaggerated: "Xianggong, this fireworks are so dense, in the eyes of the last general, there must be a large gathering of reinforcements in the south." ”

Zhao Huan received Tong Mu's return, and it was also Long Yan Dayue, and he took a long breath: "Since the reinforcements are here, you can make peace with Jin Guo." "Zhao Huan has not yet realized that there is peace in the war, and there is war in the war, or it is called the war in the peace, and the peace in the war, which is worse than the complete peace, and the complete peace is an acute suicide, in case of death, people must take the opposite path to save lives. Half-war and half-peace is a kind of chronic suicide, which will eventually lead to death. Not even a chance to change course.

This fireworks in the gold camp also caused some confusion. The Jin soldiers have besieged Bianliang for more than a month, and their stored grain and grass are running out. Seeing Yingchang's fireworks tonight, it reminded Jin Bing that as soon as the day dawned, Wanyan sent Gao Biao and Chi Zhanhui to lead their respective Meng'an to attack Yingchang.

Han Tao and Peng Xi had a lot of time to prepare in Yingchang, although the soldiers under their command were not as elite as the Jin soldiers, but relying on the city wall, Gao Biao and others fought for two days, but they didn't knock Yingchang down.

It's a bit of a trick. The Jin Soldier Brigade is now besieging Bianliang, and the big city of Bianliang is not something that can be trapped by 20,000 people like Xiang Taiyuan, so it is impossible to withdraw the brigade to attack Yingchang.

Seeing that the Jin soldiers' military rations were less than one day, maybe the Jin soldiers would run out of food before they could run out of food in Bianliang City. So he pulled down his face and went to find Sticky Han. Mu Han was also aware of the current situation, and after not benefiting from the situation, he agreed to join forces with the two armies and concentrate on attacking the western city wall.

On the eighteenth day of the first month, the Jin soldiers concentrated all the main forces to the west and began to attack the city, and the other three sides were only false banners, harassing and containing.

In the siege of many days, Mu Han found that "the battle in the field, the Song army was invincible, and the city was defended, and our army was always unkempt." At this time, the Han people in the Western Route Army, Shi Liai, Gao Qingyi, etc., offered advice to Sticky Han, and made them according to the style and size recorded in the ancient soldiers' books, and used them to attack the city. The trial in Taiyuan Castle has been effective, but new difficulties have arisen in Tokyo Castle.

When they were in Taiyuan, they only needed to temporarily build some bridges with a large load capacity, and they crossed the moat with heavy weapons, and the same was true when they retreated, and they came and went very freely. Under the city of Tokyo, due to the dense attack of the city's guards, the wide moat, and the fact that Tokyo is close to the Yellow River and the soil is relatively loose, they tried to cross several times, but they failed, or they were trapped in the city, or they barely crossed it, and were destroyed by the rocks, mud bullets, iron arrows, etc. sent down from the city. That's when I made a ruthless decision, I had to fill in all the moats around Tokyo. However, the moats on the north, east, and south sides were protected by a vast system of deep moats, leaving only one option on the west side.

It is also a coincidence that after Xin Yongzong was killed, the defense of the west was divided into two sections: the Dumen Forbidden Army and the Huanqing Army, and Zhao Huan sent a civil official named Li Zhen to coordinate the defense of the two sections of the city wall. Li Zhen didn't know about military affairs, and only knew how to entertain Liu Guangguo, Xin Qizong and others to drink all day long. On this day, a soldier reported to him that the gold thief was digging ice on the river, Li Zhen didn't care, "If the gold thief wants to cross the river, he will spread the reed mat and come over, and the ice is to hold on." So Li Zheng continued to drink with Liu Guangguo, Xin Qizong and others.

At this time, He Qingyan, the general of the forbidden army, and Xin Kangzong of the Huanqing army each commanded their subordinates to attack the Jin soldiers. Ballistas were fired on both sides. The Song army above wanted to use the power of artillery stones and arrows to make the Jin army covering the river filling untenable and force them to retreat.

The experienced Jin soldiers had pushed many of the caves to the river, and under its cover, they used ballistas to kill and wound the defenders at the head of the city. The cave was filled with earth, straw, straw, straw, and planks. The soldiers threw themselves down on the river that had been filled, and waited for a burst of arrows and stones on the city to pass, and they took advantage of the situation to knead in a new river channel with earth, and spread several layers of straw and wheat stalks and wooden planks on it. Many Han people were forced to fill in the trenches with grass, and a large amount of blood seeped into the soil and flowed on the ice, but under the pressure of the Jin soldiers, they advanced step by step, and saw that this section of the river was about to be filled, and the situation was very dangerous.

Xu Ning took Xiang Chong and Li Gon out of the city to fight, Xin Kangzong wanted to go out of the city to echo, but the Huanqing Army and the Dumen Forbidden Army had too deep a holiday, and Fan Qiong, the commander, said to Xin Kangzong: "Have you forgotten the hatred of your brother?" "Refuse to play. Xin Kangzong had no choice but to send people to Li Zheng and Liu Guangguo to ask for orders. Li Zheng, Liu Guangguo, and Xin Qizong were drinking hot wine, and asked, "Did the Jin people go up to the city wall?" Still filling the river? It is up to him not to attack. ”

Xu Ning and others fought fiercely with Jin Bing under the city, but slowly couldn't hold on and were forced back to the city. On this day, the Jin soldiers filled half of the moat in the west, and they were already able to march the army, and the west could no longer rely on the moat to intercept the Jin soldiers.

On the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, on this day, the Jin soldiers' offensive was launched from the east, and the Jin soldiers directly attacked the trench and met the Song army in the trench. In the east, the commander of the capital, who succeeded Xie Qian, was commanding on the tower of Caozhou Gate, and was nailed to the wall of the city tower with a giant crossbow. Wu Ge personally led the team and fought hard with the Jin soldiers in the trench. Although the Jin soldiers were braver than the Song soldiers, the trench was narrow, there were cold arrows shot from the earthen ramparts on the side, and the mud bombs on the city tower blocked the support of the Jin soldiers, so the Jin soldiers failed every time they attacked the trench. The situation of the war in the north and south is also generally dangerous.

The battle in the west was even more intense, not only the generals under the command of Mu Han, but also under the command of Hu Libu also appeared under the west city wall, and more than 200 goose carts and cave carts were put in.
