Chapter 54: The Battle of War and Defense
The Chongqing Pass was broken, the Jin army had artillery, and Jizhou Zunhua could no longer be defended, but the field Song army was even more disadvantaged.
When Wanyan Lou Room arrived at the city of Zunhua, twelve cannons were fired together, and the city tower collapsed.
Although Xin Xingzong liked the exploits of his subordinates, he was much more kind than Liu Yanqing, and he personally went to the city to boost morale, and returned fire with artillery, and after smashing the three artillery pieces of the Jin army, the Jin army also blew down a city wall.
Then there was a terrible street fighting, which was almost one-sided slaughter.
Xin Xingzong had no escape, so he ordered someone to ignite gunpowder and blow up all the artillery in the city, and led his own soldiers to die in a fierce battle with the Jin army.
After the war, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Lou were angry that the defenders destroyed gunpowder and artillery, and dismembered Xin Xingzong's body to vent their anger, and then ordered the slaughter of the city, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed.
Then with a large number of looted supplies went straight to Jizhou, the defenders of Jizhou heard that Zunhua was broken, and immediately withdrew to Yanjing City, and Jizhou was taken by the Jin army without resistance.
During this period, the seed master Dao ordered Yang Keshi to lead the army to the rescue, Yang Keshi faced a small group of Jin troops to win first, and then encountered a full 10,000 Jin army, the field battle was defeated and returned, and more than half of the 10,000 reinforcements were lost.
At this point, there is no barrier around Yanjing City, and it can only face the 150,000 Jin army.
Tong Guan went back and forth in the White Tiger Festival Hall, and finally said to Li Gang: "No! The Jin army is strong, and I must lead my troops back to Bianjing Gongwei Beijing Division! ”
Fan Zhuoyuan was also on the spot, he and Wang Yu glanced at each other, and knew that Tong Guan had been completely frightened, such as before the Taiyuan Defense War in history, he also heard that the Jin army was coming, and almost did not do any resistance to abandon the city and fled, leaving only Wang Yu's 3,000 Shengjie army to defend the city.
Li Gang said angrily: "Tong Guan! You eunuch! Your Majesty has appointed you as the highest military affairs of Yanshan Mansion Road, and you want to abandon the city and flee?! ”
Tong Guan shot back: "I just want to keep some combatable soldiers for the Jingshi!" ”
When he said this, he didn't even believe it.
Li Gang slapped himself up, he was obviously a civil official, but he actually had a lot of strength, and even the two teas on the table shook him and fell to the ground.
"In this way, if Yancheng is lost, you will be responsible!"
Tong Guan also got up and said, "Your Majesty will understand me, and the generals will return to Bianjing with me." ”
Fan Zhuoyuan and the others looked at each other, Guo Yaoshi's expression changed, seeing the coach like this, the generals were already thinking about each other, and they had different aspirations, and if they went on like this, Yancheng would be broken without guarding.
Seeing this, Fan Zhuo knew that this situation could not be continued.
Hurriedly got up and said, "Tong Shuai!" ”
Tong Guan looked at Fan Zhuoyuan and said in surprise: "Hengwu is also going south with me?" Very good! When I come before Your Majesty, I will recommend you as ......."
Seeing that Tong Guan's thinking was becoming more and more confused, Fan Zhuoyuan hurriedly said: "Tong Shuai, have you ever thought about what will happen if you return to Beijing this time and encounter everyone's impeachment?" ”
Tong Guan screamed: "Your Majesty trusts me more than anyone else, who can impeach Ben Shuai?!" ”
"Yandi is of great significance to Jingshi, no matter how much you have to find someone to take the blame...... It's impossible to let Cai Jing take on this responsibility. ”
Tong Guan's face turned dark, and he said: "Even so, it's a big deal that Your Majesty cut me off my post and let me go back to the palace to serve, which was originally my responsibility." ”
Well, it's been so bad, and I still fantasize that I don't have to die.
Hehe, taking Yandi is a long-cherished wish of the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and it is lost in your hands, no matter how much Zhao Ji favors you, he has to find a scapegoat, except for you.
Fan Zhuoyuan persuaded again: "Tong Shuai, Yancheng is strong, and there are dozens of artillery, and the earth-shaking thunder is not counted.
The soldiers and civilians in the city have worked together, and now they have implemented the policy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness, and the number of Jin troops is helpless, believe me, the city will be able to hold it. ”
Tong Guan sneered: "If the Jin Army didn't get the artillery, Ben Shuai still believed you, think about how the city wall of Zunhua was broken." ”
As he spoke, he jumped to his feet and said, "I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I just let you make this artillery!" Become the siege weapon of the Jin army now, Fan Zhuoyuan, you deserve to be a capital crime! ”
Everyone looked at Tong Guan in shock, and Li Gang said, "What does this matter have to do with Fan Tongzhi?" If it weren't for your close confidant Liu Yanqing abandoning it, Yuguan would have fallen into the hands of the Jin people, otherwise how could there be today's difficulties. ”
Tong Guan said hysterically: "I don't care what you think, Ben Shuai must preserve his strength!" If you want to go, come with me! ”
Fan Zhuoyuan hurriedly blocked the door and said, "If Tong Shuai wants to go south, please take the Hebei Forbidden Army to leave, and leave the Yan people to guard the Yan land!" ”
Then he looked at the generals and said, "I am a Yan person, it is impossible to sit back and watch the Jin people ravage my hometown, and I will definitely defend it to the end!" You are not originally from Yandi, and if you don't want to stay, you can go south with Tong Shuai. But if you are willing to stay, I hope that you will work together. ”
Tong Guan finally took away 60,000 Hebei forbidden troops, and before leaving, he retained Wang Yu as the supreme military commander of Yanjing City, and Fan Zhuoyuan as his deputy general.
The 40,000 defenders in the city are all soldiers recruited by Yandi in the past two years.
Fan Zhuoyuan still had 10,000 under his command, of which 2,000 foot soldiers stayed at Juyong Pass to continue to guard against the Jin army's attack on the left army in the clouds.
The rest of the soldiers and horses were all stationed in the city, and the troops under him, except for the two thousand elites who were dug from the Shengjie army at the earliest, the rest were Yandi people, especially among the five thousand cavalry, four thousand were Khitans who were sinicized in Yandi.
These people have a deep blood feud with the Jin State, and their will to resist is naturally firm.
Although Tong Guan's departure cast a dark cloud on the heads of everyone in Yancheng, Li Gang came forward to appease the people and organize the construction of the city, which stabilized the hearts of the people with his personality charm.
The guards in the city, although nominally headed by Wang Yu, Wang Yu's personal prestige is not as good as Fan Zhuoyuan, and he himself is the head of Fan Zhuoyuan.
Therefore, the actual commander is Fan Zhuoyuan, and Fan Zhuoyuan will also stage a battle to defend Yanjing here.
First of all, he ordered the messenger to communicate with the seed master stationed in Miyun, Danzhou, informed the other party of Tong Guan's escape, and expressed his determination to stick with Li Gang and others.
Let the planter be sure to ensure that Danzhou is not lost, and the strong wall is clear, so that it can be guarded by Yanjing as a horn arch.
Then the Western Army currently led by the Seed Master Dao is better at mountain warfare than plain field warfare, so let him stick to it as much as possible, and harass the Jin army's rear road if he can, and the main battlefield will still be arranged near Yanjing City.
Now that the people in the city are panicking, Fan Zhuoyuan knows that he must not be bored, and there must be a victory, even if it is a small victory, so as to boost the morale of the army in order to ensure victory in the next battle to defend the city.
At this time, the system, which had been silent for two years, suddenly sent a task.
"Mission: The Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000, and they are invincible, with the rise of the Jin State to destroy the Liao, the legend has become a fact, and it has turned into a myth of the strong soldiers of the Jin State, and the task is to break the myth that the Jurchens are invincible!
Reward: 100,000 proficiency points, 10 karma points. ”
Fan Zhuoyuan was thinking about a small victory, but he didn't expect the system to come to the task, and this task was exactly what he was longing for!
Next, he plans to fight a head-to-head battle to give the invading Jin people a dismount!
After Fan Zhuoyuan studied the topographic map for a long time, he found that there was really no danger to defend near Yanjing City, and he could only fight a tough battle.
And the hard battle is not a random fight, in the end, he nodded on the bank of Lushui in Tongzhou County, east of Yancheng, and decided to preset the battlefield here!
After reconnaissance and cavalry investigation, the vanguard army of the Jin army of 10,000 is coming from Jizhou at this time, has crossed the ditch river, and will arrive at Tongzhou County in 70 miles.
