"We will not hesitate to fight to the death, and swear to live and die with the Great Song Dynasty."

"I don't hesitate to fight to the death, and swear to live and die with the Great Song Dynasty."

The soldiers were like bells, and they were murderous one by one.

Even Zhao Shuo felt numb by the momentum in front of him.

Among the forbidden army, there were ordinary people who belonged to the recruit eggs four months ago.

But after being trained by Zhang Baijun, this army already has a soul.

The sound of a heat wave resounded for a long time.

Zhao Shuo praised with satisfaction: "Since you dare to fight, then I am ready to go out with you at any time." ”

"It's just that we can't wait in Bianliang City, we have to take the initiative to fight with the Jin army, and tell them who is the real king of Huaxia, so that we can dare to fight in the moment of life and death. What about the soldiers? ”

"Horizontal knife immediately, horizontal knife immediately!"

"Good!"

……

And on the same day!

The situation of a big leak in Fucheng has been learned by Liu Chengru.

He suddenly realized that Shanggu County's plan to attack Cangzhou directly had to be put on hold for the time being.

But the situation that Fucheng was in the hands of Song Jun, he was really embarrassed to report it to the above.

So in a fit of rage, he rashly took the 20,000 gold troops under his command to launch an offensive against Fucheng.

The city was not large, and the defenders were not many, only 4,000 men.

But the people who commanded the troops were Yue Fei and the well-trained Yue Fei pro-army.

This caused Liu Chengru to feel that the city could be captured in less than half a day, so he delayed it for two days.

The 10,000 men of the Jin army lost more than 6,000, but they were never able to take the city.

This......

Liu Chengru was stunned all of a sudden.

What if he let the Sticky Han army that came after him know that he was losing his troops here before he even started?

At the same time, Liu Chengru also knew that he had encountered the hard bones of the Song Dynasty in the Fucheng defense line.

"What to do? General, why don't we report to the general? Let him send troops to support, and this place can be broken at the snap of a finger. ”

"No!"

Liu Chengru shook his head.

Now at this juncture, he even wants to hide it from Yan Zongfu.

But if you blindly let the 20,000 people under your command shirk in Fucheng.

At that time, his army would not be able to appear outside Cangzhou City to join up with several other armies.

Therefore, Liu Chengru thought about it and decided to pretend not to know that there was Song Jun here.

With his eyes closed, he bypassed Fucheng and continued to advance in the direction of Cangzhou.

and launched an attack on the Dingtao defense line on the Cangzhou front.

Soon, Liu Chengru regained his self-confidence.

He found that the Song army in the Dingtao defense line was not hard.

In a day and a half, Liu Chengru conquered the county.

At the same time, the 80,000-strong army commanded by Wanyan Zongfu also penetrated Zhang Shuye's military town on the Shandong border and went directly south to approach Cangzhou.

Early the next morning, Sosuke launched a siege of Cangzhou.

And thirty miles north of Cangzhou City, set up camp.

On the morning of the third day, Wanyan Zongfu gave an order, and an army of 80,000 directly attacked the city.

The siege methods of the Jin army are still not any better than last year.

The siege began and ended, and it took a whole day.

Did it work?

No!

Failed!

And there were huge losses.

Cangzhou was guarded by Li Gang.

This Li Gang has very rich experience in defending the city in terms of combat.

Although the Jin army went out of Shanggu County, the straight-line distance to Cangzhou was not far.

And Wanyan Sosuke is also full of self-confidence.

I feel that I can set foot in Cangzhou within three days.

turned to go straight down to the two Huai of the Great Song Dynasty.

But today's battle directly touched his head.

And as soon as the fight starts, it can't end.

Wanyan Zongfu was here with the army for half a month in this siege battle.

There have been countless times when the Jin people have to climb the city wall along the ladder, but they have all been beaten back.

This scene, Wanyan Zongsuke was terrified when he saw it.

But Lu Zhaoyang, who was with the army, felt familiar.

The soldiers of the Song Dynasty who defended the city took out the same momentum as when Mu Han led the army to attack Bianliang City.

The seventeenth day of the siege!

Wanyan Zongsuke's expression had tended to be numb.

He couldn't take this city.

So, he retreated and attacked three military towns near Cangzhou.

However, when Li Gang built the military town, he considered the mutually beneficial advantages of terrain and horns.

The Jin attacked the left flank, and the defenders in the center could directly support from the official roads in the city.

The same is true of attacking the right flank.

The depressed Wanyan Sosuke suddenly found that he was going to be consumed in this place.

For this reason, the Jin people began to concentrate their forces to attack the city on the left flank of Cangzhou.

In the end, it took seven days of fierce fighting and 12,000 losses to break through the city.

However, with the fall of this city, Li Gang decisively cut off the road connecting the two cities.

Continue to defend Cangzhou.

Wanyan Zongfu is not idle here.

He blocked the passage of grain supply from the southern part of the Northern Song Dynasty to Cangzhou.

Besiege this lonely city as it did when it besieged Bianliang City.

But Li Gang didn't panic at all.

Because long before the outbreak of the war, Zhao Shuo put a million stone of grain under his military town.

It can be consumed by his army for three months.

As a result, the Song army and the Jin army surrounded this city, and you attacked and defended it for more than ten days.

On the last day of October, the morale of the army was shaken.

He began to arrange for his generals to come to the tent to discuss the next march.

Now Sosuke has two options.

No matter which one he chosen, his army would not have much food with them.

The Jin people who couldn't break through Cangzhou and couldn't go south didn't have a chance to harvest the granary of the Great Song Dynasty.

So, what about continuing the siege?

Or do you want to bypass the city?

The fierce battle in Cangzhou is most in line with the current interests of the Jin people.

Because as long as they took Li Gang, the defense line on both sides of the Yellow River in the Northern Song Dynasty would completely collapse.

But if you want to bypass this city and enter the land of Lianghuai, you still need to cooperate with Mu Han from Tai'an.

Otherwise, it's a lonely one.

After all, when they attacked Lianghuai, they had to be attacked by Li Gang behind the place to launch a painful blow to them.

But Wanyan Sosuke had already tried to judge the danger of attacking Lianghuai.

To put it bluntly, he was forced to be helpless, and now he is also thinking about taking a gamble.

So, after discussing with his advisers, Yan Zongfu took it upon himself to avoid Cangzhou City.

The reason why he made such a decision was also because he felt that his flank still had Liu Chengru's 20,000 army as a constraint.

Therefore, when the time came, Li Gang of Cangzhou did not dare to rashly lead his army out of the city to attack his rear.

Instead, he will go all out to guard against Liu Chengru's army.

But Wanyan Zongfu doesn't know at all now, Liu Chengru is even more uncomfortable than him at this time.

Liu Chengru directly left Yue Fei behind him, completely treating him as if he didn't exist.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he also convened several meetings of the generals under his command.

To the effect that Fucheng is irrelevant.

A few thousand Song soldiers can't help them.
