Chapter 7: Change the day

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Looking down from the city, although the Jin people temporarily withdrew from the base of the city wall, they erected countless catapults one by one, and groups of strong men of the Jin army were sweating profusely, all of them were naked, and they wrung the winch vigorously, and the loader shouted loudly, loading a huge stone into the bamboo basket at the long end of the catapult. Just waiting for an order, these cannon stones the size of grinding discs were thrown towards Bianliang City without hesitation.

——It's also funny to say, originally the Jin army marched thousands of miles from Youzhou and advanced all the way to Bianliang City, and the action was hasty, and it did not carry heavy siege equipment at all. Who knew that the Lord and the faction were in power in the Great Song Dynasty, and Wen Tian and Wu Huan had been procrastinating and not preparing for war. As a result, when the Jin soldiers approached the city, the Song army only had time to close the gate of Bianliang, but they threw hundreds of catapults and a lot of bulky ordnance in the suburbs...... As a result, as soon as the Jin army arrived at the city of Bianliang, they seized a large number of ready-made siege equipment, which were just used to deal with the Song people in the city...... For the Jin army of the Southern Expedition to the Song Kingdom, this situation can really be regarded as "no food, no clothing, our own enemy sent it, no guns, no cannons, the enemy made it for us"!

Around these catapults, you can vaguely see rows of Jin soldiers sitting on the ground, their armor placed in front of them, very neatly arranged in a low wall. The spear in his hand was also set up by his side, and the cold wind that roared through made a terrible sound...... Sure enough, it's an elite division!

Looking at these well-groomed and high-spirited Jin soldiers outside the city, and then looking at the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army on the city wall, which was staggering, fighting, and even feces and urine, and recalling the smoky miasma above the court, Zhang Shuye's mood couldn't help but become even more desperate.

At present, those main battle faction doctors who are high in the court, although their mouths are full of heroic words of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and the oath of incompatibility with the thieves, but when it comes to causing disasters to the country and the people, they are not much worse than the soft bones of the lord and the faction - it is clear that even defending the city is already in danger, and these madmen actually want the court and the royal division to go out of the city to meet the attack, and shake the Jurchen iron cavalry head-on, so as not to fall into the prestige of the heavenly kingdom...... The question is, do these scrappy forbidden troops in the city have that much ability?

According to Zhang Shuye's own calculations, if these forbidden troops are trapped in the city and have no way out, then it is estimated that they can barely squeeze out a trace of courage in the battle to defend the city, and probably a few people can be used as one person. But if they are allowed to go out of the city and fight...... Then it's not about breaking down at the touch of a button, it's about fleeing from the wind!

- The previous forbidden army did not fail to attack, for example, Wang Zongmi, who commanded the envoy in front of the palace, took advantage of the fact that the Jin soldiers had just arrived and had an unstable foothold, and transferred more than 10,000 generals in front of the palace to open the city from the south wall of Bianliang. Thousands of Jin soldiers took the opportunity to enter the Nanxun Gate, Zhang Shuye and Fan Qiong tried their best to defend, and the Jin soldiers were barely repulsed.

Next, someone in Shandong raised 5,000 righteous troops to come to King Qin, and they were also annihilated by a small group of Jin troops on the outskirts of Bianliang.

It can be seen from this that the current official army of the Great Song Dynasty is already very reluctant to defend the city, and as for the field battle, it is simply sent to death!

It's a pity that the scholars and doctors over there who thought they could scold Fang Xuan after reading a few books on the art of war couldn't see this at all, but they just couldn't wait to turn around immediately - seeing that the forbidden army was not strong, they actually rushed to the doctor and put their hope on the head of a demon named Guo Jing! even messed around with a group of idle men in the market, insisting on what kind of "Liujia Divine Soldiers" they were, counting on them to kill and retreat 150,000 Jurchen Iron Cavalry!!

Alas, this is really "the country is about to die, and demons will be born"! Divine Soldier ...... The official family can figure it out, if there are really gods in this world, and the golden people are in the world, we only need to burn incense and chant scriptures, so why bother to mobilize troops to meet the enemy?

——Regarding the anecdotes of Guo Daxian's people who scattered beans into soldiers and called for wind and rain, Zhang Shuye, a traditional Confucian general, did not believe very much.

Just as Uncle Zhang was sighing for this dangerous city, he suddenly heard a long voice in the distance:

“…… Doctor Wu Luo, Yanzhou Assassin History, and Guo Daxian, the real person who protects the country, to ~~~"

After Uncle Zhang heard the sound at night, he couldn't help but be stunned - eh? Why did I just think of this stubble, and the owner of the family came?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

“…… Doctor Wu Luo, Yanzhou Assassin History, and Guo Daxian, the real person who protects the country, to ~~~"

With a full of angry roll call, Guo Jing held the dust in his hand and approached the East Water Gate of Bianliang City with Wang Qiu and others Shi Shiran.

Overall, as a generation of immortals who are famous in Bianjing, Guo Jing's appearance is still very good - his face is red and white, he is full of energy, he has a pair of bright eyes under a sword eyebrow, and his demeanor is also solemn and holy.

Moreover, as the so-called people want clothes, Buddha wants gold clothes, and the Taoist robe worn by Guo Jing at this time is also an extremely gorgeous and luxurious high-end product - the Taoist robe of the Northern Song Dynasty is quite different from the style of the Taoist robe of later generations. The modern style of simple Taoist robes is the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Taoist robe of the Northern Song Dynasty has a Xia curtain that looks like a short cloak on the back, embroidered with Yunxia patterns, which is very gorgeous and beautiful, and it is very high-ranking at a glance. In particular, Guo Jing's Taoist robe is a purple robe given by the emperor, and the embroidery, decoration, and pendant are all beautiful, showing a rich and noble style.

Of course, that is the treatment that only Guo Jing and Guo Daxian have, as for Wang Qiu and a few of their "followers", they only wear plain robes.

At the beginning, Wang Qiu once took a pair of armor and wanted to try to change it, but as soon as he mentioned it, his face changed: this armor was worn up by a string of armor pieces, stacked layer by layer like tiles, and at a glance, he knew that the weight was quite terrifying - this was the step armor of the Song Dynasty, which changed from the Tang Dynasty armor, composed of 1825 armor leaves, with a total weight of more than 50 catties! Where can you afford to eat with the delicate body of modern people?

——Although Wang Qiu used reward points to exchange huàn physique enhancement in the infinite space, with the collapse of the main god system, he had already returned to the real world at the same time, and now he is the physique of an ordinary college student, so he will naturally scratch his head with such heavy armor.

Therefore, Wang Qiu finally just wore a body armor inside, and then put on a long shirt and went out. And Nobita and Doraemon haven't prepared any protective measures - anyway, with the cockroach life of these two guys, it is estimated that they will be fine if they encounter a cosmic monster.

Then, on the way to the battlefield in the south of the city, Wang Qiu and the others finally really saw the traces of the war:

Although the battle of the city wall had not started for long at this time, the catapults of the Jin army had been bombarded for many days, and tens of thousands of stones were projected into the city, so that a number of houses in the area of Fengqiumen and Dongshuimen were bombarded to the ground in the rain of stones, and the people were even more frightened and fled in all directions. As a result, the closer you get to the city gates, the more dilapidated and sparsely populated the streets and houses become—only a small part of them were destroyed by the Jin army's trebuchets, but most of them were demolished by the Song army to dig up masonry and timber, which were used as rolling stones and simmers to smash people during the defense of the city, and to be used for fire heating.

——Looking at those rosewood painting screens, yellow sandalwood coffee tables, as well as camphor wood, ebony furniture, and golden silk nanmu coffins that were worth millions in later generations, were actually smashed and burned by the forbidden officers and soldiers who burned the qin and boiled the cranes, Wang Qiu felt heartache when he boarded, and quickly instigated Doraemon to snatch it under the banner of Guo Daxian...... And now the machine qì cat, which is carrying a huge debt of 300 billion yuan, has to temporarily abandon the festival and ask for something from the forbidden army.

Fortunately, the banner of Guo Daxian is now very useful in Bianjing City, Wang Qiu and they just bluffed a few times, and those forbidden soldiers obediently gave away all kinds of furniture and wood carvings of precious wood - although these coarse and stupid wooden objects are precious, but after all, they are not gold, silver, pearls and jade, and they may be hard to find in the peaceful years of the past, but now they are in the siege of the beacon fire, but they are not worth a few dollars, but it is better to sell them to Guo Zhenren.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

All the way to the base of the city wall, I saw that the forbidden army had built a row of simple grass huts on the inner side of the city wall, for the officers and soldiers defending the city to take turns to sleep and rest, and also for the purpose of housing the wounded soldiers - this was the usual practice of defending the city in ancient times, but now the weather is freezing and the snow is flying, and many of the homeless beggars hiding in the broken temple are freezing to death, forcing them to drill into the sewers of Kaifeng: regardless of the smell, they only want to keep warm.

Pity the wounded soldiers, who were already bloody and dying, but were left in shacks that leaked on all sides, lacking medical treatment and care. If you are lucky, you can still squeeze around the fire to keep warm, but if you are unlucky and are squeezed to the side, it is really in danger of freezing to death - Wang Qiu saw several zombies being carried out of the shack with ice edges hanging on their heads and beards, and their skin was even more frozen......

A gust of cold wind blew, making Wang Qiu couldn't help but shudder, as if he had been soaked in a bucket of ice water, and his internal organs were covered with ice edges.

“…… The temperature was minus 18 degrees Celsius...... Oh my God! It's already dripping into ice! How can this place in Henan be cold like this? ”

While others were not paying attention, Wang Qiu secretly glanced at the electronic thermometer he was carrying, and was immediately shocked.

Even the soldiers who were not seriously injured and rested in shifts, although well equipped, looked crumbling and languishing.

- I have to say that although the Song Dynasty was known as weak, it attached great importance to the army, and did not hesitate to spend seventy percent of its age to raise soldiers. As a result, a professional forbidden army of 800,000 was completely supported by the imperial court's finances, which was a large-scale effort that had not been achieved in previous dynasties. And the ordnance and equipment of the Song army can also be called luxurious and sophisticated. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the soldiers had to prepare their own weapons and dry food when they went out to fight. In the future, the strange military household system of the Ming Dynasty directly degraded the soldiers to serfs, so that street fighters wearing tattered clothes and carrying wooden sticks abound on the battlefield at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

And the Great Song Dynasty, I don't dare to say it elsewhere, at least the forbidden army in Kaifeng is all ironclad, and the soldiers' figures are quite tall and strong - after all, as early as the beginning of the founding of the country. Song Taizu, who is very eugenic, said: "The wives of all classes take the elders of women, and want their children and grandchildren to be guards." As a result, the officers and soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty Jingshi married tall women from generation to generation, and all kinds of high-quality genes were accumulated from generation to generation, and they all looked very tall and burly, which was not inferior to Wang Qiu, a modern person with a height of 1.8 meters.

It's a pity that these forbidden troops are tall and tall, and their muscles are quite good, just like the bodybuilders of later generations, but the evil spirit and bloodiness are not visible at all-alas, speaking of which, since the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, the continuous foreign wars have not stopped, fighting the Liao State, fighting the Western Xia, and now the Jin people, in exchange for other dynasties, they have long played an iron-blooded army and a group of fierce people. But things are so strange, until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a wind of appeasement and extravagance among the people. Isn't a life too rich a good thing for the country?

Just as Wang Qiu was standing under the city wall and complaining silently from the bottom of his heart, the city lord Zhang Shuye had already shaken the mud spots on his body and walked down the city to greet him - although he didn't look down on Guo Jing, a "demon" who pretended to be a ghost, but the most basic etiquette, Zhang Shuye still would not lack.

And Guo Jing also reined in the dust, slightly bowed, "...... Poor Dao has seen Bachelor Zhang. ”

(Zhang Shuye has just been awarded the title of Senior Minister, acting Privy Council, and in charge of the military affairs of Beijing.) )

Seeing that the attitude of this real person who protects the country was quite modest and polite, Uncle Zhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "...... At present, the Jin people are attacking the city in a hurry, and the Jingshi is shocked overnight, and the official is also in armor and cannot leave his body at any time...... I don't know why the real person is here? ”

- Although it is quite polite, the meaning of the alienation is very clear: the front line is already dangerous, so don't come and add to the chaos again.

“…… Naturally, it is a helping hand for the assistants. Guo Jing completely ignored Zhang Shuye's resistance, and just continued to say calmly, "...... Since Poor Dao has received a generous gift from the imperial court, he naturally has to contribute to the imperial court. At present, although the training of the Liujia Divine Soldiers has not been completed, they cannot go out of the city to meet the Tartars and relieve the worries of the saints. But seeing that the people are displaced and the capital is in danger, how can the poor road be peaceful? ”

“…… The real person is very kind to say this, but I don't know what magic the real person can help me? ”

- Although he didn't believe much in the nonsense of this demon, Zhang Shuye still reluctantly put on a deaf look.

“…… Bachelor Zhang, as we all know in the city, the current Bianjing is snowing heavily, the cold is unbearable, the Jin people grew up in the north, they have never been afraid of the cold winter, but our soldiers are not as frost-resistant as the northerners, and lack of charcoal for heating, it is said that although there are cotton clothes to keep out the cold, there are still people who often freeze at night, or freeze their fingers alive, the situation is very miserable. It can be seen from this that this snowfall is really not conducive to our army's defense of the imperial capital......"

Guo Jing lifted the dust whisk and said with compassion on his face, "...... Poor Dao performed a small trick here, so that the heavy snow dissipated, and the sunny day reappeared, so as to relieve the difficulty of my Great Song Dynasty soldiers in the wind and snow...... I don't know what Mr. Zhang thinks? ”

In this regard, although Zhang Shuye still didn't believe it, those forbidden officers and soldiers who believed in the immortal way were already cheering.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Relying on the vigorous help of the officers and soldiers defending the city, and also taking advantage of the moment when the Jin army suspended the siege of the city, Guo Jing commanded the "divine soldiers" he brought to work together, and used them to bring various ceremonial equipment, and soon arranged a simple dojo under the East Water Gate.

Above an altar that is only three feet square, there is a banner with bright yellow brocade and black borders, which reads, "Nine Heavens Induction Pass Micro Manifestation True Person Comes to the World and Presents Ten Thousand Generations of Peace and Health". On both sides of the altar was filled with cigarette smoke...... Several civil officials of the imperial court who admired the way of immortals rushed over when they heard the news, combed their hair in a bun, wore a vanilla crown, and wore a wide robe, and said loudly: "Welcome to the birth of immortals!" ”

According to the usual practice, Guo Jing should have spread his head at this time, brandished a peachwood sword, climbed the altar to dance, or foamed at the mouth, pretending to be a god descending to the earth...... But as a Bolshevik with a firm faith, Guo Jing's political commissar obviously lacked interest in pretending to be a ghost, so he just arched his hand to many fans, took out a small card with a sun symbol on it, and inserted it into a strange-looking machine in the center of the altar.

- Bell! There was a loud bang in the sky, and Doraemon's magical prop [Weather Control Device] made its debut!

This thing has the shape of a large radio with a radar antenna attached to it, and a slot in the middle. Just insert a card with various weather symbols drawn into it, and you can immediately forcibly change the weather, if it rains, it will rain, if it will be windy, if it will be sunny, it will be sunny!

When Doraemon was at Nobi's house, he often used this thing to cheat - for example, he was too lazy to collect his clothes on a rainy day, so he turned the weather into a sunny day; If you want to ski in the summer, you use this thing to create a snowstorm - so since Doraemon came, the weather in Tsukimidai in Nerima-ku, Tokyo has always been weird, and it often snows in the summer from time to time, and the temperature soars to 3o degrees Celsius in the winter, and the cherry blossoms bloom n times a year...... And so on and so forth.

In short, in the next moment, all the lead clouds in the sky dissipated, and the bright sun shone on the earth in an instant.

It was as if a dazzling light from heaven suddenly sprinkled over Bianliang.

——Whether it was the Jin army besieging the city, the Song army defending the city, or the citizens of Bianliang, they all raised their heads and looked up in amazement at the sky that was instantly clear, and the fiery sunlight pouring down on the earth.

At this time, when I looked up at the clear sky, I saw a clear blue sky, cloudless, just like the crisp autumn weather.

Only the scattered snowflakes still fell in mid-air, reflecting the light of the day, telling people that the wind and snow were still mixed with wind and snow a moment ago.

And the heart of the Confucian scholar Zhang Shuye, who "respects ghosts and gods and stays away", also collapsed in an instant with the bright sunshine pouring down, and immediately fell down tremblingly, and kept nagging in his mouth, "...... Heaven forbid, please forgive the sins of disrespect......"

Well, I believe that it won't be long before the devout disciples of Guo Daxian, the real person who protects the country, can increase by a large number of them.

Unfortunately, although the Jin army outside the city was also shocked, they did not plan to cooperate with Guo Daxian to create a religious atmosphere.

“…… Golden Man! The stone cannon (trebuchet) of the golden man is coming! ”

- Accompanied by the panicked and shrill howl of someone in the city, the sound of hundreds of boulders suddenly breaking through the air sounded in midair!
