Chapter 496: Recovering Kaifeng

The crossbow arrows of the Eight Ox Crossbow fell less than twenty meters in front of Song Qinzong, hitting a wooden house, which collapsed and splashed dust, frightening Song Huizong and Song Qinzong to take several steps back.

The trebuchets on the outer city wall are throwing stones to stop the Han army besieging the city. However, the range of the trebuchet was far inferior to that of the bed crossbow, so it could not threaten the lives of the two Song emperors.

Chu Tian held the two Song emperors hostage and forced them to conquer in person, so that they could see what the real war was like.

The soldiers on the front line fought bloodily, while the meat eaters commanded indiscriminately, which is really a taboo for soldiers.

The Han army and the Song army moved out all the siege equipment such as the eight-ox crossbow and the double-bow bed crossbow in the Song arsenal, and even dismantled the bed crossbow on the inner city and the palace wall to attack the outer city wall!

The Han army concentrated on attacking Xuanhuamen!

The eight-bull crossbow roared, and the terrifying tension shot out the thick crossbow arrows, and a heavy infantry of the Jin Army was torn apart like a piece of paper!

A dense rain of arrows covered the Jin soldiers, and the Han army used their divine arm bows to shoot at the Jin soldiers on the city walls.

Among the Jin soldiers on the outer city wall were many servants, who were equipped with divine arm bows captured from the Song army, causing considerable casualties to the Han and Song armies.

Chu Tian saw that the servant army of the Jin soldiers used the Divine Arm Bow on a large scale, and the original Song army's big killing weapon became the advantage of the Jin soldiers, so he was angry and said to Song Huizong and Song Qinzong: "Please take fifteen steps forward, two Majesies!" ”

Song Huizong hesitated: "Envoy, if you go any further, you may be shot by the bed crossbow......

Song Qinzong pulled the corner of his father's clothes, he found that Chu Tian had drawn his sword, if Song Huizong provoked Chu Tian, Chu Tian would be angry, blood would be splashed five steps, and the two Song emperors would die in their own hands.

So Song Huizong and Song Qinzong walked fifteen small steps forward as if walking on thin ice.

"Order the bed crossbow, the divine arm bow, and the longbowmen to support, step on the armor, and grab the stone steps!"

There are stone steps in the city that can lead to the city wall, which was originally used by the defenders to quickly send reinforcements to the city wall, but the Han army is in the city at this time, so capturing the stone steps is equivalent to controlling the ladder leading to the city wall.

The heavy infantry armor came in handy at this time, and in the short-distance fighting, the infantry armor with excellent defense allowed the heavy infantry to dare to attack in the rain of arrows from the opponent!

Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei, Mingguan sent Chang Yuchun, Chutian sent Xue Rengui, and Lao Qin sent Lu Bu to open the way with fierce generals and foot soldiers, and stormed the stone steps!

The Jin soldiers deployed a group of heavy infantry and crossbowmen on the stone steps, and when the Han army came to attack, hundreds of crossbow arrows were fired in a volley!

The two Fang Tian Painting Halberds flew like the wind, and the crossbow arrows were knocked away, splashing everywhere!

Xue Rengui and Lu Bu scrambled to be the first, for fear of being one step behind others!

Lu Bu was afraid of Xue Rengui, who had reached the peak, and was unwilling to admit that someone had real force to equalize him, so he fought hard at this time, wanting to keep his title of the first fierce general.

The golden soldiers on the stone steps couldn't help but be shocked when they saw that their crossbow arrows couldn't cause damage to the two fierce generals.

Suddenly, Xue Rengui and Lu Bu attacked the stone steps, fought on foot, rushed into the golden soldiers, and slaughtered the Quartet!

There were constantly golden soldiers who were picked up and fell heavily to the ground, losing their breath.

"Don't forget to have your Grandpa Zhang!"

Zhang Fei saw that the two people who used Fang Tian's halberd were so fierce, and he was not to be outdone, holding the Zhangba snake spear and attacking upward.

The golden soldiers on the city wall were suppressed by the bed crossbow, the divine arm bow, and the Zhemu composite bow, and they did not dare to come out for a while.

Soon, Xue Rengui and Lu Bu joined forces, broke through to the city wall, and killed hundreds of golden soldiers in a row!

The armor of the two men was stained red with blood.

They represent the highest individual combat power of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they are not much worse than pseudo-saint-level generals.

A military general with a big sword stood in front of them, and Wanyan Zongwang ordered the Han people to cut off Wang Bolong.

Wang Bolong's real force is temporarily +5, which is already close to a real saint-level fierce general.

The big sword broke through the air, and Lu Bu blocked with a halberd, and took two or three steps back.

Lu Bu was shocked in his heart.

Obviously, he is still quite far from the overlord Xiang Yu.

After Wang Bolong's force +5 in front of him, it is difficult to say whether he has the level of overlord Xiang Yu.

After Yan Zongwang stayed with him, he had confidence in Wang Bolong.

"I'm here to help you."

Xue Rengui planned to join forces with Lu Bu, and the two fierce generals who also used Fang Tian's halberd were capable of being the strongest pseudo-saint-level reckless generals in the enemy Jin Army.

"I'm all there is!"

Lu Bu's arrogance made him disdain to join forces with Xue Rengui, because he felt very unhappy when he saw his shadow from Xue Rengui.

Wang Bolong didn't say a word, and slashed at Lu Bu with a big knife!

The two fierce generals moved and slashed on the city wall, and the golden soldiers along the way were affected by the fight, and they were all killed!

Lu Bu's muscles were trembling, he was also a pseudo-saint level, Wang Bolong was much stronger than Gao Biao who was killed!

If Gao Biao's real force is 95, then Wang Bolong's real force may be 96 or 97!

Temporarily erupted with force close to the overlord Xiang Yu, Wang Bolong's big sword almost slashed Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd away, making Lu Bu see that he was still far from the true saint level.

Xue Rengui saw that Lu Bu was defeated by the strengthened Wang Bolong, so he ignored Lu Bu's opposition and fought with a halberd!

The two Fang Tian painting halberds attacked their left and right respectively, and Wang Bolong had to return his sword to resist!

Even so, Wang Bolong still has the upper hand.

"Yanren Zhang Fei is here!"

Zhang Fei picked up two golden soldiers and came to help in the battle!

Zhang Fei could hold Lu Bu or Xue Rengui for a while, and when he joined the battlefield, Wang Bolong had to deal with three fierce generals at the same time, and the pressure increased suddenly.

The big knife struck the Zhangba snake spear, Zhang Fei's tiger mouth hurt, and he shouted: "I didn't expect him to be stronger than the three surnamed house slaves!" ”

"Ring-eyed thief, you are looking for death!"

Lu Bu was even more unhappy with Zhang Fei, but at this time, everyone besieged Wang Bolong and couldn't be distracted.

Yan Jia, Qin Ruishi, Tianxiong Army and other heavy infantry who replaced the infantry armor landed in the city, Li Guang carried an arrow bag on his back, and his ape-like arms kept shooting arrows, like machine guns, shooting hundreds of gold soldiers, and the heavy infantry in the rear poured up the city wall and quickly occupied the outer city.

The purpose of the construction of the outer wall was to deal with the enemy from outside the city, and the difficulty of attacking from the inside was greatly reduced.

"The outer walls are about to be reclaimed."

Chu Tian looked at the other sections of the city wall, a group of armor guards attracted the attention of the Jin soldiers, while the elite of the Han army was mixed in with the armor militia, attacking various city gates and city walls, and the Jin soldiers were defeated and retreated.

As for the most elite soldiers and horses of the Jin soldiers, such as the abducted horses, Tiefutu, Xi Liulu Army, and Changsheng Army, they have retreated outside the city.

The outer city wall could not accommodate too many Jin soldiers, and it was obvious that Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan, the two commanders of the Jin Army, saw that the situation was not good, and made the decision to withdraw their troops.

That is to say, as long as the Jin soldiers retreated, Kaifeng, which was defended by the Han army, it was impossible for the Han army to fall.

The battle of Jingkang was basically won.

Just, is that enough?

"The Jin soldiers retreated, this is the luck of the Great Song Kingdom! Ladies and gentlemen, I will build temples for you, so that people can burn incense day and night to worship, and continue to burn incense! ”

Song Qinzong saw that the Han army and the Song army had ascended the city, and the shouts of killing gradually receded, knowing that the city wall was basically recaptured by the Han army and the Song army, Kaifeng City had no worries for the time being, and immediately thanked Chutian and his party.

Chu Tian and other Eastern Han princes were too lazy to deal with Song Qinzong.

Thinking differently, it is impossible to get Song Qinzong to accept the materialist dialectical view.

"The two coaches of the Jin Kingdom are very cunning."

"Not bad."

Chu Tian glanced at Lao Qin, Ming Guan and the others, and was very dissatisfied with such a result.

Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were puzzled.

The Jin soldiers have been shocked by the mighty righteous army, and fled in the wilderness, and the Great Song Kingdom has achieved a rare epic victory, why are these Han princes with solemn expressions?

"Heavenly generals and envoys, the Jin soldiers have retreated, and the siege of Bianjing has been lifted, why ......?"

"The main force of the Jin soldiers did not lose many soldiers and horses at all, and this month, the Jin soldiers only lost 20,000 or 30,000 people, including many servant troops. They advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and they had not yet been completely defeated. ”

The goal of Chu Tian and the others is not only to break the siege of Kaifeng, but also to gain points, exchange them for some good things, and bring them back to the main world.

Because the Jin soldiers did not die many people, the main forces of the Jin soldiers, such as the Kidnapping Horse, the Tiefutu, and the Changsheng Army, did not enter the battle in a big way, and the various Han princes had limited gains.

In addition, the Jin State coach Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan, Jin Wushu (Wanyan Zongbi), Wanyan Yinshuke and others who can provide extra points, the Han army has not been able to kill any of them.

These commanders of the Jin Kingdom, cherishing their lives, hid in the rear, and did not charge into battle in person, but just let a group of reckless generals lead their troops into battle.

"The Jin soldiers wanted to escape north safely, but it was not easy, because there were still a large number of Song troops and rebels in the Hebei region they passed. But ......"

Chu Tian thought that it was Zhao Gou, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, who was stationed in the Daimyo's Mansion, and retracted his words.

Zhao Gou, not to mention whether he can cut off the back road of the Jin soldiers, whether he dares to cut off the back road of the Jin soldiers, he has to say both.

Lao Qin's eyes had a hint of ruthlessness: "We can go out of the city to pursue the Jin soldiers, and pursue them all the way to the sixteen states of Yanyun, at this time, there are still two months before the end of the Battle of Jingkang, which is enough to go all the way north." ”

"Why not!"

Mingguan is not a person who is afraid of things, the map of the Battle of Jingkang is the same as the actual scale, and two months is enough time for the cavalry to chase from Kaifeng to Yanjing.

Because each prince could only bring 10,000 soldiers and horses, Chutian configured war horses for Yanjia and the Shooting Sound Battalion, and the other princes were similar.

Even infantry and crossbowmen, equipped with horses, can also carry out long-distance raids.

Heavy cavalry, with two horses or three horses, can also participate in the pursuit.

Fang Xuanling said to Chu Tian: "The Jin soldiers may not really be withdrawn. Jin Bing is good at field warfare, not good at attacking fortifications. Maybe Wanyan Zongwang just wants to lure us out of the city, annihilate us through field battles, and break the lockdown again. When we are defeated, the morale of the defenders will definitely fall, and Kaifeng City will be difficult to defend. ”

"We all know that this is the conspiracy of the Jin soldiers, but people die for money, and birds die for food."

Chu Tian looked at Lao Qin, Ming Guan and the others, and from their eyes, it could be confirmed that Lao Qin and Ming Guan also knew that Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan had deliberately withdrawn their troops and led the Han army to pursue.

If the Han army did not pursue, they attacked Henan, Shandong, and Hebei, plundered all directions, and then went north.

The main force of the Jin army was not seriously damaged, and the Tiefutu only killed a few hundred people. It was only a matter of time before the Northern Song Dynasty perished, and if it could not go south for the second time, the Jin army could go south for the third or fourth time.

As long as the Northern Song Dynasty continued to redundant troops, redundant officials, and redundant expenses, forming a vicious circle, no matter how good the finances were, they would be dragged down.

The Song army was numerous, like a bottomless pit devouring finances, but it lacked combat effectiveness, and it was defeated at the first blow, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses went out to fight, and most of them returned with a heavy defeat.

The battles won by the Song army were often defensive battles, or skirmishes.

Chu Tian and the other princes didn't think about such a long-term thing, what they cared about was points!

The first level of Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan, Jin Wushu and others is points!

If you go out of the city to chase and kill the golden soldiers, you can also get points, and if the golden soldiers retreat, the points will be gone.

That's why people die for money, and birds die for food.

Song Huizong and Song Qinzong heard that Chu Tian and others were going out of the city to chase and kill the Jin soldiers, and annihilated the Jin soldiers in Henan and Hebei with reinforcements from all over the world, and they suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Sure enough, Chu Tian looked at the two Song Emperors: "Two Majestices, please follow us to chase and kill the Jin soldiers, if we die in battle, the two Majesties will also be martyred." ”

Song Huizong and Song Qinzong's faces turned pale.
