On July 15, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty left Xianzhou and moved to Xinzhou. Zhao Ta got up early in the morning and walked out of the imperial tent early, at this time the Southern Route Army had gone to attack Weizhou under the leadership of Gao Pet, and the camp only had the guards as guards, he walked farther and farther away and gradually left the camp, and everyone knew that the emperor's temper did not interfere, but for safety, in addition to a group of personal guards, there was also a team of guards to follow.

At this time, the weather in the Northeast began to turn cooler, and there was already some autumn, but Zhao Ta's face was covered with frost without a trace of smile. The fields in Qianmo were ready to be harvested, but in front of them was a withered, prostrate on the ground, and the harvest had been lost, and the Xinzhou city tower not far away collapsed, the city gate collapsed, and the city wall was also blackened by gunsmoke, and there was no figure in the huge city. And this is not only the case in Xinzhou, Zhao Ta has been in such tragic situations all the way, but this is not all the masterpiece of Song Jun.

After the imperial court issued the edict of 'clearing the wilderness and shrinking the defense', the state capitals of the Jin Kingdom immediately took action, destroying all the crops to be harvested, burning down the houses, emptying the warehouses, and moving the population to the hinterland, so that there was no rooster and dog barking everywhere, leaving only those old and weak women and children who could not travel long distances waiting for death in the wilderness, leaving only the ruined cities and the mess that was difficult to clean up in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Alas, the people are miserable!" Zhao Ta sighed and turned back, he understood that the most unlucky people in the war are always the people living at the bottom, who not only have to support the officials and troops of the imperial court, but also accept the conscription to pick up swords and guns to fight, while their relatives are crying and running in the cold wind, not knowing what the fate of tomorrow will be. But to end this qiē, the only way to end the war is to end it.

The mark of the destruction of a nation is the capture of its capital. Captured its king, the Song army on the West Road is now less than 100 miles away from the Huining Mansion in Jinshangjing. The Southern Route Army had to conquer Huanglong Mansion before the troops could enter Beijing, and this would also be an extremely critical battle for the Southern Route Song Army. As long as the city is captured, the Song army will complete the strategy of attacking on two roads and meeting troops under the city. But for this last barrier of their own, how could the Jurchens give up lightly......

Huanglongfu is located in the hinterland of the northeast, at the crossroads of the northeast plain, mixed with the lower reaches of the river, and controls the throat of east, west, north and south water and land transportation. There is the Yazi River in the north and the East and West Liao River on both sides of the south as a natural barrier, which is an important position that can be fought and defended when advancing. It is precisely because of such favorable conditions that are suitable for agriculture and benefit the army that they have been fully utilized and developed in the corresponding historical period.

Huanglongfu was historically used as a royal city in the late period of the Buyeo Kingdom. Bohai, an important town of the Liao and Jin dynasties, has always had a high status. It is rumored that after the Jurchens captured the city, the body of the dragon was still preserved in the Cangli of the Inner Palace, and later became the outpost military town of the Liao State in the northeast region to defend against the Jurchen and other tribes, and its status was only slightly inferior to that of Wujing. After the Jin Kingdom conquered Hwangryong, it was renamed Jeju and became another important town in the Jinsanggyung Road after Hoyeyeong.

The Huanglongfu area is rich in water sources and fertile land. In Liao, most of the wealth in the northeast came from here, and it also had the reputation of 'silver house'. Because in history, the Liao captured the Bohai Dynasty after the Bohai Dynasty and the Huanglong Mansion of the Liao Dynasty fell after the Jin Dynasty captured the Liao Dynasty. It also shows the importance of its geographical location. It is connected with Xinzhou, Shenzhou and Liaoyang in the south, Xiangzhou, Yizhou and Penn in the northeast, and can go directly to Shangjing across the Mingtong River and Lalin River. The route runs from north to south and is relatively flat. There are no major twists and turns, and the geography is flat along the way. There are no mountains and mountains, which is convenient for becoming a transportation artery, and the capture of Jinshangjing in Huanglong Mansion is completely exposed to the attack of the Song army.

The military and political towns in history, due to the political and economic, especially military importance, around the satellite cities to form a complete defense system, Huanglong Mansion in the northeast of Xiangzhou, west of the state, south of Weizhou and other military important places to guard. Gao Zhong decided to adopt the tactic of 'clearing the periphery and then fighting the Yellow Dragon', first taking advantage of the emperor's desire to open up the waterway, he sent Ma Wei to lead the Leopard Wing Army and the Dengzhou Navy Division to take the opportunity of Xiangzhou, and control the waterway of the lower reaches of the river to block the Jin army's reinforcements. Then he sent the loyal army to attack Pennzhou, and he led the army to conquer Weizhou and then marched to Huanglongfu......

Gao Zhong at this moment in his hands the tiger general, the leopard general and the wolf general three generals, a total of fourteen brigades, it is said that the small city in front of him should be a drum, but he didn't expect to hit the nail, and he failed to break through the city for three days.

On the one hand, this is due to the fact that the terrain of the city is dangerous, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is built on a high platform on the bank of the Eaton River, the east of the city is the road leading to Huanglongfu, the other three sides due to the rainy season river water swells and overflows, forming a large area of water pool, the water recedes and forms a large wetland, the water is shallow and difficult to sail, and the people and horses can not get down, forming a natural barrier, so that the Song army can only attack from the east, the force is difficult to deploy, even if you want to besiege the city is difficult to do.

On the other hand, the soldiers and civilians in the city resisted fiercely, fearless of death, and resisted stubbornly. In fact, there were not many defenders in the city, only more than 10,000 people, but after the implementation of the policy of 'rushing into the fort and clearing the wilderness', a large number of people poured in, making the population of this small city swell to 50,000. Most of these people were young and strong, and they fought in the city after being trained into an army, and they hated the Song army very much, because it was their arrival that forced them to destroy the crops that were about to ripen, and abandon their old parents, young children, and weak wives and daughters, so they fought and died.

"Commander, the city that we destroyed with artillery fire overnight has been repaired again, and it seems that only the continuous bombardment of the day and night can destroy it." After the account was raised, Gao Zhong transferred troops to prepare to attack the city again, Liu Bao first said.

"Oh, how did they do it?" Gao Pet asked with some surprise, because this was not the first time.

"Marshal, according to the reconnaissance of the last general, when we were bombarding, the people in the city took refuge in the west of the city, where we could not approach the swamp with our backs, and the artillery fire was difficult to reach. When the shelling stopped, he went up to defend the city and repaired the ruined walls with mud dug out of the swamp, which was very strange, dried soon in the wind, and was as hard as iron and invulnerable to knives and axes. Liu Bao said with a puzzled face, most of the cities they encountered in the past were built of rammed earth, and after damage, they were generally filled with sand and stones, and the strength naturally could not be compared with the original, and it could be destroyed again, but this time it was difficult to do it again.

"After three days of fighting, a small city has not been defeated, and today you have to gnaw the city wall for me even if you gnaw with your teeth, where are there so many excuses!" Gao Zhong was furious when he heard this reason again, and shouted at Liu Bao.

"Yes, Dashuai, I'll lead people to gnaw!" Liu Bao saluted.

"If you have guns and cannons, you can't eat enough, or you don't have enough food?" Just as the two of them were staring at each other, someone smiled and entered the handsome tent.

"Your Majesty, why did you arrive suddenly?" Gao Zhong saw that the people who came hurriedly left their seats, and the generals also hurriedly saluted.

"I heard that you have been blocked in Weizhou for many days, and you are here with reinforcements!" Zhao Taxie said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are incompetent, you will alarm the Holy Driver, you will definitely take Weizhou today." Gao Zhong hurriedly pleaded guilty again, and said with a flushed face.

"Hehe, I've already been to the city to see it, it's really easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it's hard to use soldiers, and I don't blame you all." Zhao Ta waved his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, the defenders in this city are extremely tenacious, even Ding Zhuang is not afraid of death, we set the city on fire with incendiary bombs, and those golden soldiers are actually fearless from the city to die with us, so that several assaults under the city can not break the city." The wolf general Zhuge Hong moved over the chair and said with a bitter face.

"You beat them uprooted, broke up their wives and families, of course they have to play with your life, in the future, we will encounter more and more such battles, and the resistance will become more and more stubborn, so what are you going to do?" Zhao Ta glanced at everyone and said.

"Of course, we must be more ruthless and tenacious than them, and wipe out all those who dare to resist!" Several generals replied with angry faces.

"Well, yes, I'm satisfied, but I won't need you to go into battle today." Zhao Ta nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, you are a golden body, you must not come to the sword in person!" Everyone was frightened when they heard this, the emperor was really angry, and he wanted to go into battle in person to set an example for them, and quickly dissuaded them.

"Cut, why do you need to go out of the camp for such a small battle, go out of the camp and take a look, Zhao Xin may have entered the city!" Zhao Ta looked at the panicked crowd and said disdainfully.

"Ah......" Everyone was taken aback, the imperial concubine went into battle is also a great thing, if there is a good one who does not regret dying, everyone hurried out of the camp to take a closer look, but the emperor was thrown alone in the big tent.

"These bastards, leave a cook, I'm still hungry!" Seeing that everyone had run away, Zhao Ta knocked on the table and shouted......

Gao Zhong hurriedly picked up a group of soldiers and led everyone to the city quickly, but they heard the earth-shattering cry from a distance, and everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats. What are you really afraid of, shouldn't Zhao Xin have an accident? I couldn't help but whip the horse's ass twice harder. And everyone's hearts were not put in their stomachs until they were stopped by the guards and brought to the front of the imperial concubine, and they saw that Zhao Xin was safe and sound, and they had the time to check the source of the cry.

"Mother, what are these people doing?" Gao Zhong watched a group of men, women and children in the city crying and grabbing the ground, and a circle of people in the city were also crying and wiping their tears, and the miserable cry made the hearts tremble.

"Gao Shuai, these people are the reinforcements that the emperor found for you!" Zhao Xin said with a slight smile.

"Niangniang, does Your Majesty want to drive these people to attack the city as soldiers?" Gao Pet frowned and asked, his face was not very good-looking.

"No, Your Majesty wants to use love as a knife to help you break the city!" Zhao Xin shook his head and said...... (To be continued......)
