On the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, the gates of the western city wall were full of dangers, and almost every hour there were almost five or ten times in danger of being attacked. All the turrets were destroyed, and the grates and rope nets used to block the artillery were burned to ashes by the rockets. The Song army could only rely on flesh and blood to defend against arrows and stones on the top of the city. Sometimes a single arrow hits the chest, and the person is nailed straight to the charred wooden post, and the hands, feet, and heads are stiffened, like a roasted red prawn; Sometimes a cannon flew in, and shattered heads and broken limbs flew in the sky together, and blood rained down on snowdrifts.

The cave cars lined up under the root of the city, storming the city gate, the ground was full of corpses, Xin Kangzong commanded the Kaiyuan Gate, he saw the iron gate of the Kaiyuan Gate creaking, he knew that this gate could no longer hold on. He ordered his subordinates to lay an ambush under the city wall, and with a command, he suddenly opened the city gate and killed him, beating the Jin soldiers to a wrong hand without hurrying. The two armies of Song and Jin fought in a scuffle under the Kaiyuan Gate. Xin Daozong, who was in charge of support, saw that his brothers were trapped outside the city, and also led his own soldiers to rescue, and then Xin Qizong also sent reinforcements, and the Xin brothers fought hard together, and finally did not let the Jin soldiers break through the city gate.

After the Jin soldiers retreated, Xin Qizong cried at Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangguo's father and son, will Huanqingjun's last bit of capital be lost like this?

But the Song army is now permeated with an optimistic mood as a whole, it seems that the reinforcements from the south are gathered, so that the gold thieves are in a hurry and panic, so this is a fatal attack, today in the four cities, the loss of the Jin soldiers exceeded 10,000 people. After nightfall, the common people of Bianliang went up to the city with lamps in their hands to see today's results, and everyone felt rejoiced, and there was an optimistic saying that the Jin army had been unable to sustain itself after such a setback, and it seemed that they could only withdraw their troops as they had voluntarily returned in the first siege battle.

At this time, in the Rui Si Palace, the uncle Wang Zongwei was saying to Zhao Huan: "Don't worry, the emperor, the golden thief is already at the end of the strong crossbow, as long as these 7,777 divine soldiers are released, the golden thief will definitely be wiped out. "Uncle Wang Zongwei did not make an inch of merit in this siege battle, and he also delayed and neglected the holy decree of the relatives and nobles, and now he saw that the Song army was showing signs of victory, so he jumped out to grab the merit.

Wang Zongwei had already found Guo Jing and other three god generals in the forbidden army, and according to Guo Jing's requirements, he found 7,777 military men and lived a fairy-like life in Tianqing Temple. Now he is going to release this group of divine soldiers and reap the fruits of victory.

When Zhao Huan was hesitating, Tong Mu came to report, and Liu Yanqing asked to see him. Liu Yanqing is here to cry miserably. On this day, his old Huanqing army suffered heavy losses. Zhao Huan was soft-hearted on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see the power of the divine soldiers, so he agreed to let Liu Yanqing's troops withdraw and change the divine soldiers to fight tomorrow.

Guo Jing put forward three conditions: first, Guo Jing should do the law at the head of the city when he arrives, sacrifice a sea of blood on the Jin army camp, and not let ordinary people see it, and the defenders at the head of the city will all retreat. Second, on each wall of the city, there should be an embroidered image painted with the image of the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly King on three sides, so that the golden people are frightened. Third, it is necessary to rush to make dozens of cars, tie up sticky Han, and divide the chiefs, one car and one person, and never fall short.

These requests were accepted. At this time, not only the Huanqing army, but also the defenders of the entire western city wall had to retreat.

On the twentieth day of the first month, Guo Jing led the divine soldiers out of the far door to fight, "Guo Jing's Liujia method can make people invisible, words have not blurted out, the thieves are divided into four sides to march in a noisy manner, our army is over, more than 200 cavalry rushed to break through, the front army is exhausted, and the latter are all fallen to protect the Longhe suspension bridge has been pressed by the accumulation of corpses. The ravages are exhausted, and the wails are unbearable. ”

Seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven divine soldiers were swept away by more than 200 golden soldiers. The Jin soldiers rode the unattended city tower, climbed the city wall with a goose cart, and crashed the city gate open, and the city wall of Kaiyuan Gate was lost.

He Qingyan and Xu Ning's headquarters were stationed at the bottom of the Shuntianmen City. Knowing the news that the golden soldiers went to the city, he led the soldiers to the city, and the golden soldiers on the city were raining arrows, and they couldn't attack it for a while. Outside the Shuntian Gate, the Jin soldiers attacked the city with a crash car, and the Jin soldiers continued to climb the city tower, and then killed down. Seeing that the city was out of control, He Qingyan had no choice but to retreat to the inner city.

Within half an hour, the whole city was in an uproar.

Fan Qiong's troops guarded the Jinhui Gate, and he saw that the Kaiyuan Gate and the Shuntian Gate seemed to have been broken on the city tower, so he took the lead and shouted: "He Tongzhi sacrificed the city gate." Then he led his own troops to retreat to the inner city. Jin soldiers along the city tower, to the north and south two roads robbery, in the north of the Ansu Gate of the city tower, for Yao Youzhong to lead the troops to block, the north of the city there are also moats to support, the Jin soldiers can not attack inside and outside. Similarly, the Anmen Gate Tower in the south was also blocked by Qiu Muling Zhonglian.

Time was reversed to the night before, when Hu Yangeng heard that the imperial court was going to use divine soldiers, he knew that the big thing was not good, he went to Zhang Shuye first, and invited his uncle, Long Jie Sixiang, to command Hu Yanzhuo to the Privy Council to discuss.

Therefore, Zhang Shuye came to see him overnight and wanted to admonish Zhao Huan, but in vain, Zhao Huan only agreed to let the 15,000 Longjie troops on standby in Bianliang City prepare to meet the enemy in case of contingency. Hu Yan Geng gave full play to this order, and early in the morning, Long Jie's army was assembled in Tianbo Gate and Chongming Gate, at this time, even if he was suspicious of the emperor and impeached by the imperial history, he couldn't care about it.

Tianbo Gate and Chongming Gate are respectively located in the northwest corner and southwest corner of the Imperial City, on the west side of the Imperial City, close to the West Street, the West Street goes north and south, the north leads to the Ansu Gate, the south is connected to the Anshang Gate, when the west city wall is broken, the Long Jie army has been quickly deployed in the West Street, from the Ansu Gate to the Anmen Gate, has constituted a new defense line of the Song Army, and a section in the middle of the defense line is backed by the imperial city wall.

Wu Ge, the Marquis of Duyu in the east, and Yao Youzhong, Marquis of Duyu in the north, and Huyan Geng greeted them in advance, so when the city wall in the west collapsed, the east, north, and south sides were all immovable.

The Jin soldiers did not go down the city after occupying the western city wall, perhaps they thought that after breaking through the city wall, Bianliang was already in the bag. But the collapse of the western wall caused great confusion in the whole city of Bianliang.

The Jin soldiers set fire to the city towers of Kaiyuanmen, Shuntianmen, and Jinhuimen in the west, and the flames soared to the sky, and the whole city could be seen.

When a family of people living in the inner city saw the tower on fire from afar, their wife said, "Close the gate quickly." Before the words fell, a group of chaotic soldiers dressed in Song soldiers' costumes rushed in, led by a knife: "I'll wait for the Tartars, hurry up and get the money out and spare your dog's life." ”

The family trembled and took the only few jars of money in the family and handed them to the rebels led by them, who killed their husbands first and then their wives with a knife, and even spared their children.

The Song soldiers who collapsed on the west wall retreated to the city, and took advantage of the chaos to go to the people's homes with knives to rob the property. The sound of the people crying shook the heavens and the earth. ”

A small official in Kaifeng Mansion saw that the west city wall was on fire, so he hurriedly ran to the office, and he still had some "savings" in the office. As soon as he arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, a group of rebels rushed out and knocked him to the ground, and then countless feet trampled on him, trampling him to death. "The utility of the officials and the soldiers trample on each other, and the number of dead is unknown."

When some of the clever people saw that the city tower was on fire, they hurriedly took the things they had packed up and fled out of the city with their families. The west is not afraid to go, it is said that the situation in the south is fine, so they fled to the south, the Bianhe River passes through the city, the fleeing people are blocked on the bridge, no one can pass, the strength is big and the strength is small and thrown into the river, the adults fall into the water and call for help, but the baby in the arms falls to the ground, and slowly there is no sound. People from the north to the south were fleeing shoulder to shoulder, or crossing rivers, and babies were thrown by the side of the road, crying loudly, then hoarsely, and finally dying.

Xu Bingzhe, the prefect of Kaifeng, put on shabby clothes, took his wife and children, and hid in a distant relative's house in the city. This relative never interacts with each other on weekdays. "Although the city has not been lowered, the capital division is disturbed."

When Hu Yangeng saw such a situation, he was annoyed in his heart, the loss of a city wall would cause such a big chaos in the city, which he did not expect. The common people are not machines that carry out orders when they receive them, but living people with their own lives. On the one hand, Hu Yangeng asked Zhang Shuye to take over the Kaifeng Mansion, and on the other hand, he ordered Puliu Ru Bosheng to lead a team to patrol the city, and when he encountered the rebels, he was ordered to abandon his weapons and contain them, and he did not obey the order to kill them on the spot, and at the same time sent people along Zhuque Street and the banks of the Bianhe River to declare that the city was not broken, and persuaded the people to return home.

After a night of disturbance like this, the losses suffered by the people of Kaifeng were greater than those suffered by the Jin soldiers in the two months since they besieged the city.

Uncle Zhang said angrily: "Using divine soldiers, He Li and Wang Zongwei are not punishable. ”

At this time, He Li, Sun Fu, Wang Zongwei and others were pleading guilty to the emperor in the Rui Si Palace. The Divine Soldier was recommended by the three of them, and this sin could not be escaped no matter what.

He Li wept bitterly and wanted to die by hitting the pillar to atone for his sins, but seeing that the pillars in the Rui Si Temple were too small, he was afraid that he would not die if he hit it, but would startle the holy driver, so he decided to hit it again later.

Sun Fu said: I first helped the emperor deal with the current crisis, and then I was going to throw myself into the river, but the water was too cold in winter, and I would go again when spring began.

As a military general, Wang Zongmao wanted to draw a knife to commit suicide, but the face saint could not bring a knife, so he asked the emperor to order the guards to lend him a knife.

Zhao Huan ordered that the three Aiqing were forbidden to seek death.

After Wang Zongwei thanked him, he said angrily: "Although the divine soldiers are unfavorable in battle, they are also martyred, and the most hateful is He Qingyan, the guard of the western city wall, who lost Shuntianmen in vain, and the situation is out of control." ”

Sun Fu said: "Liu Yanqing's department is also to blame. Xin Kangzong guarded the far gate, Fan Qiong guarded the Jinhui Gate, and lost it without a fight, which is really unreasonable. ”

Wang Zongwei said: "The defenders of Kaiyuan Gate were transferred at Guo Jing's request, and after Kaiyuan Gate and Shuntian Gate were lost, Fan Qiong was unable to support it alone, so he withdrew. If he is punished, he is afraid that the hearts of the soldiers will be chilled. only beheaded He Qingyan to ban You. ”

He Li said: "There is another person with ill intentions. The ministers were deceived by Guo Jing. But Uncle Zhang knew that Guo Jing was unreliable, but he didn't send people to guard the western city wall, what was his intention? ”
